Are you doing a factory data/reset, wiping cache and wiping dalvik right before rom flash and immediately after. Doing this should correct your issue. If not, then something is internally wrong.

I use the wipe versions of the rims

You still need to manually wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik then install the rom and immediately wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik again.
Try those steps and see what happens.
wipe dalvik is in the advanced menu of CWM
When full wipe roms came out it was thought that it would take care of the wiping for you, but many have learned the hard way to manually do it as well and 9 times out of 10 it fixes the problems.
I have never had one rom give me a problem and Im sure its because I follow these steps.
*****try "fix permissions" with CWM or Rom Manager also******

Michaelatrix do what Dirtburgler say. I just had the same exactly problem after flash Cherry rom and after I read this thread and follow what Dirtburgler say I don't have the problem anymore.
Edit: My problem was different. My error was to try to restore a SMS backup from Titanium backup. I never do a full restore from Titanium just apps and SMS/MMS/Dialer but I guess that SMS/MMS/Dialer has a different version than Cherry use (I was using 2.3.4 stock).

Many people do just in case since something happens. Just backup everything first!
IMO...

i would. if you don't, you might get stuck in a bootloop. some roms don't require you to (ie...CM updates). but even then, it doesn't hurt to do it after so many CM updates. now, if you don't want to lose your data, i'd recommend using titanium backup...if you haven't already.
Rule of thumb would be as follows:
Wipe Dalvik.
Wipe cache.
Factory/data reset.
Flash ROM.
Wipe Dalvik.
Wipe cache.
Factory data/reset.
This should keep you safe. Only takes an extra minute to do.
Some ROM's will wipe for you, but I always do a manual wipe first anyway.

EVO 3D not going pass boot logo after Rom Manager

Hi Guys,
I really need help here.
I have a rooted and unlocked boot loader (Revolutionary) HTC Evo 3d. I already had clockwork recovery installed but when i opened ROM manager and clicked on download ROms it asked me to download clockwork recovery.......so i did. The phone got stuck so i pulled the battery out. Now i simply cannot get past the HTC boot logo. I can get into recovery but i do not want to factory reset as i don't have a backup of my data. Is there ANY way to do ANYTHING to fix this?
Would really appreciate any help in this regard. Any suggestions????

Try booting into recovery ...once there wipe dalvik cache, and also clear the option that says "data cache" will edit so I can reboot and get the exact wording but its data clear cache is what you want to clear as well..then once complete reboot phone and it should get you going. What ROM are you flashing?
**its wipe data/factory reset**
Clear that then reboot see if that helps

Did you wipe the data/factory reset.
You didn't mention that one..there's 3
1) wipe cache
2) dalvik
3) data/factory reset

Don't really want to do a factory reset because i don't have a back up of my data. I guess no option other than this.

No its not a factory reset of your phone..ie: settings erase ..
This is through recovery on clock mod. All it does is clear the previous data which is probably why you get stuck in boot loop
its not going to erase your phone...

Did all 3. Dodnt work. In the fast boot theres an option of factory reset(Not in the recovery) should i go ahead with that? Or since my phone is unlocked and rooted that might mess things up more?
Last option is to flash again

It should be in recovery...if you are using clock mod ...let me see if I can get a screen shot ...stand by
Sent from my Swagurious Evo running CM7
Ok not uploading.....but once you boot into clock mod....in the options one of those is the data/wipe factory reset something like that in recovery...not fastboot.
If you did that then you will need to flash again....do a nandroid recovery and then try again

I know how to do that and did it correctly but no luck. I guess flashing a new rom is the only way.
Could you point me to where i can get ROMS for the eve 3d? There seem to be a few online so any recommendations?
Just copy a PG86IMG.zip image of TWRP to your sd and install through the bootloader.
Then, never use Clockworkmod recovery again in your lifetime.

I never had a problem with cwm on devices with no other option.... But on devices that had other options the other options have always been the better choice. Could it be that cwm sucking necessitated an alternative or mere coincidence? Likely the latter... But I'll never use cwm if I have another option--cuz all I hear about is trouble.

That is what you're looking for but all it's gonna do is flash a different recovery. From your posts, it seems cwm recovery was still functional. You just need to flash a new rom and forget about your previous data. Always have a nandroid backup of some sort, and this won't happen. I nandroid backup once a week atleast, and more if I start tinkering with the rom. I have also NEVER had any problems with cwm recovery on any of the four android devices i've owned. I don't know why people dislike it so much.

Hello,
First and foremost, I'm loving this rom. I'm a noob and getting my hands dirty figuring all this out.

I will say 90% of the people in here will say it is not the rom. just because theres seems to work. and i tend to agree. what have you tried to fix it? besides going back (to Stock). i have not had any issues with WiFi on Serephim yet, so i can not say what a fix would be. maybe wipe your cache's. when i had that issue on GB i had to reinstall the kernel and boom it worked. but seeing as though we do not have one yet for ICS. i would say wipe and worst case reinstall the from after a very Thurough Wiping Process.

Then if your into flashing right now, just try either the superwipe.
Or this is how i wipe.
I factory default/format usb from inside the rom.
I wipe factory/data from cwm
i wipe cache partition from cwm
i wipe delvik from cwm
then i flash "Rom" and reboot.
this leaves nothing from previous roms and or Gingerbreak roms.
try that and see if it works. if not then i am out of ideas until a kernel source is released.
Ok i will try that and see if it works...
Thank you!!!

[Q] Anyone have any tips about this?

Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.

[Q] Sotmax v19 - Contacts FC

Hi
I've been using sotmax since v16 and since upgrading to v19 whenever I try to open a contact through the contacts app it freezes then force closes.
Has anyone come across this or know how to fix this?
Thanks
Do the standard clear cache and dalvik, if that doesn't help then full wipe and reflash might fix it.
Only ever upgrade when the ROM chef says it's okay, otherwise full wipe.

I only ever do a full wipe before flashing. I've wiped and re-flashed this rom 5 times now and always get the same issue
Probably a bug in the rom then, ask the chef to check for it.
