More often than not, users will experience boot loops and other such issues. Our advice to them: perform both a wipe cache partition and a complete phone’s Wipe Dalvik cache a couple of times. When done: restart the HTC Evo 4G. But if you see an error which reads “Status 7“, different tasks apply; here they are: install a compatible kernel, then flash the SlimBean PIE Build 4.2.
If you face no problems, though, then you might want to return to your phone’s old ROM. We recommend these actions: boot the handset into Recovery, opt for Backup&Restore and see if there is any list on the device’s display showing the name of your favorite ROM. If it is, then choose it.
