Someone please help!!?! I cannot for the life of me flash a ICS rom. I have tried various methods but all to no avail. I have an Evo that I bought some time ago, rooted some time ago using HTC's bootloader unlock and then used adb to flash recovery and su to the phone to gain root. I have flashed many if not all sense roms no problem but now that I am wanting to flash an ICS rom It just won't let me. No matter the recovery I use after flashing an ICS rom it stays stuck on the first splash screen and will not load custom ICS rom. I have wiped all caches did factory resets and whatnot but still have not been able to flash an ICS rom

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello are you using a super wipe tool after wiping cache and dalvik battery stsats then format system and format data and format boot and format all partitions except sd card and when this is done now use the super wipe tool and when its done it will reboot back in recovery and now you can flash any ics rom these are the steps i use with no problem's and yes 4ext is highly recomended

You're S-ON, you need to either use 4ext w smartflash or Joey Krim's Flash Image GUI in order to flash a kernel for ICS.

S-ON does not allow for flashing kernels except in fastboot mode, with 4ext/smartflash which was introduced 2 days ago evidently, or Flash Image GUI.

Easy fix

Thanks everyone. I finally got it to work using 4ext. I was so dead set on keeping twrp that I forgot to look for other recoveries.
