Default Everytime I install a new Rom or Kernal I must pull battery

Does anyone else experience this? Everytime I've installed anything new through recovery - a Rom, kernel, GAPPS, whatever - it never gets past the first white HTC Evo boot screen. I let it sit there for 30 minutes once, nothing. I pull the battery, turn it back on, and it reloads. Anyone else have this happen to them? It is the result of something faulty?

i have it, but rarely use
Default

never happened to me (as far as i can recall) but then again ive been using amon ra for over a year. I only bring up the amon part cuz i do recall some weirdness from when i used to use clockworks recovery. What recovery do you use? If its CW, install amon ra. Its super easy to install the new recovery, buy beware that your cw nands cannot, i repeat, cannot be restored in amon's 2.3 version and vice versa. That being said, if you do switch to amon ra, id still keep your first nand that you made after rooting with your radio keys n so forth cuz it is possible to flash cw back and restore it... ok, im shutting up now. This is the result of 2 green monsters while at work today LoL

Are you wiping correctly? This reeks of clockwork and/or not wiping. You should never have to pull the battery if you are wiping and installing correctly.

I am using Amon Ra and I typically wipe everything manually 3 times and run Superwipe twice.

sounds like the issue to me. Can't even count how many post I've seen where someone didn't wipe or was using CW.

BUT, I can't see how he could wipe any better from what he just said.

At this point, was I you, Bup, I would wipe just like that and flash Mikg3.0 and leave the stock kernel in place.

also, if you are doing the titanium thing, only restore items with thr Green text.

He said he is on RA 2.3. Maybe it's corrupted or something? I would redownload it and check the md5 sum.

Edit: and check the MD5 sum for ALL files. Here it is for RA 2.3:

MD5SUM: 6dbb98f9cfa35033982c3803d2520466
