Same problem here. I don't know what is causing the problem but I read somewhere that a work around for the boot manager problem is to restore nandroids to each slot. Just make a nandroid of your current ROM, wipe device, install new ROM, set it up and make a nandroid of the new ROM. Do this for each ROM you want to use in boot manager. Once that is done restore whatever ROM you want to be the phone ROM using regular recovery. Once that boots open boot manager (follow instructions) and restore each nandroid to adifferent slot. I'm trying now.

I made a backup of my HTC EVO LTE Stock ROM in TWRP, I flashed CMX, now I want to go back to Stock, so I went to TWRP>Install, I can see my backup folder under /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/name of backup.. but I when I select the folder it does not give me the option to Install it. It just opens as an empty folder. I did notice the folder is not in a .zip format. Is this the reason why? Did I miss something during the back up process? And if so, how can I fix it? Is it as easy as just converting the regular folder into a .zip folder then try to install it this way?.. Please tell me not everything is lost, lol.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There should be a restore option on the main screen in twrp recovery. If you hit that it will allow you to choose what file you want to restore

Seconded. Choose "restore" to restore nandroid backups.

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!
Hey guys...
I use boot manager to boot between ROMs. My main ROM is Gingeritis3D v1.2 and I was going to set my other ROM as the new AOKP ICS ROM, but when I go to install it, I am prompted to select a boot.img to install from.
Which one should I choose?
My options are boot.img and _MACOSX/._boot.img
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I would think that it would be boot.img but I don't use boot manager so I don't know anything about it.

That's what I was thinking... but Idk.
Oh well, I'm going for it anyways. Haha.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
So I chose boot.img anyways and it worked just fine.
Flashed right into the AOKP ROM and it ran perfectly.
Scared me once I got into the ROM because boot manager didn't want to work since I wasn't signed into my Gmail.. and I couldn't find out how to sign in. And without signing in and getting the app to work, I couldn't get back to my main ROM.
And then my brain started working for once.
Anyways, on a side note, if anyone chooses to dual boot to the AOKP ROM....
Once you've booted into the AOKP ROM from boot manager, you cannot sign into Gmail account... or at least I couldn't. This kept the boot manager app from being accessible.
So if this happens to you and you also cannot find a way to sign into your Gmail account, don't panic and don't bother wasting time wiping or restoring a nandroid.
Just reboot into recovery, install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, navigate down the the boot manager folder, navigate to phone ROM, select update.zip, and flash it. Press the back soft key button and then reboot system now.
You should then be back on your main ROM.
I want to try this rom normally but it keeps rebooting. Im not using boot manager. Any ideas?

If you're not using 4ext to flash then try that.

Do I need to restore the ROM I made my nandriod from first? Or can I restore my previous nandriod off any ROM I'm currently using?
I'm sure this has had to been asked before, but maybe I'm using the xda search wrong.
Thanks

Just wipe in Aron Ra and then restore from your nandroid. I commonly jump from Rom to Rom, just make sure you wipe in between.
Yupyup your nandroid reverts you to whatever that particular nandroid saved..

Thanks guys. I'm not sure what is wrong with my phone. Clean ROM 4.3 was the only one that would work for me, until this morning. I finally got RAGE1.8 to work. All other ROMs would boot loop, including all Clean ROMs after 4.3. I had been reinstalling Clean ROM and then restoring the nandriod, I'm glad I can skip one step if I need to go back.
Make sure you wipe before you restore a nandroid. If you don't it could cause it to bootloop.
Also if you're s on it could be an issue with kernel compatibility

I am S on. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought loading the PH98IMG file in the bootloader was loading the kernel.
First, you really should S-Off, it will make it a whole lot easier, it will allow you to jump from Rom to Rom a lot easier. Be careful because some new roms call for the latest firmware to run correctly.

It has to be the ph file from the rom you are on
So I'm a bit of a newb. I installed cm10.1 witht eh nightlies, but I want to go back to stock using TrickDroid. Should I do a full wipe, or will that brick my system?

You should do wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset and you should be fine. One thing I do recommend is doing a nandroid backup before you do that. If something goes wrong you can restore your phone from it.

So did what you said, and installed the rom. But my Recovery says the installation failed, while the aroma installers says it was successful. I tried booting and it just stays at the HTC one screen?

Did you do a nandroid backup. If you did. Reboot in recovery and restore you phone. Or rinse repeated the process for a different ROM. Try clean ROM first just to make sure everything is fine.

After running just about every ROM for this device, I recently flashed my first stock based ROM (cooked 1.8). However since this time I've been unable to flash back to any aosp ROM. I get boot looped on every one. I've tried everything. Yet, I can flash cooked again no problem. I know there's something I'm missing. Any help would be great.

Have you tried to format system under mounts and storage after your factory reset, and before you flash your rom and gapps? Just a suggestion. Not sure it will fix you problem or not. It seems as if I had a problem similar to what you are describing after running a Samsung based rom in the past. I believe that was the cure to my issue.

Search for Siyah kernel v4.3.3 in the forums and install, restart recovery and flash away. Should take care of it.

I always have kept that kernel on standby but that didn't work. I've tried every kernel. Can't believe backups won't even boot. I flashed cook's ROM wipe before his ROM the first time, wonder if that did something.

Try Odin to stock and start from scratch. A lot of work but hey what do you have to lose. :beer:

First find a compatible Kernel for the AOSP ROM your trying to flash. Flash that Kernel.
Second, after the flashing is done, reformat the device; cache, dalkiv cache and system and system settings.
Third, reboot into recovery mode from the recovery menu itself.
Fourth, flash the kernel one more time.
Fifth, flash the AOSP ROM of your choice.
Sixth, reboot back into recovery menu.
Seventh, reformat once more.
Eigth, reboot the device.
As you should know, the first boot up after flashing a ROM takes the longest. Give it like a minute or two.
If this doesn't work, you have to flash a kernel that was compatible with the "cooked" rom you were using. Then from there do a reformat from the recovery menu. Once reformat is done, flash the AOSP kernel, then flash the AOSP ROM right after. Then reformat once more and reboot as normal.
If that doesn't work, flash compatible kernel with the "cooked" ROM your using now and also relay the cooked ROM, and then use Odin to bring it back to stock un-rooted. From there, do as you wish.

That is exactly what needed to be done. Mr cook actually has another thread with cwm flashable wipe scripts that would have done that. Quite handy :thumbup:
