well im new to this rooting thing, my evo was sucessfully rooted then i started to look around for ROMS and Kernals and i see that baked snack 1.8 is pretty good so i downloaded it put it on my SD card, wiped my phone and cache and when it is opening the zip file that it is in, it says (BAD) and doesnt work, can somebody tell me what im doing wrong, btw i saw on the baked snack website saying that i need to have the lastest wimax update and newest radio, are these things im going to need or i have to make sure my phone already has those things. please help :D
 
i was told you didnt need to open the zip file just to have it on the SD card and i did everything through the ROM manager and it took me to recovery mode then i press open rom for zip found it on my SD and then bam! it says its bad and wont work =[
 
WOOP i got it i gussed when i downloaded it from the site i just messed it up, just redownload back on the SD and then it worked like a charm.
 
RELATED ISSUE!!--

I'm running an EVO that I rooted using unrevoked. After using CM6 for a while (and frankly getting tired of all the bugs) I found a mirror on XDA that put me back to the stock image (while somehow keeping root, yay). Now I'm tired of stock again.

I've tried to install baked snacks 1.9 AND 1.8. Each time I get the same error:

Could not install sd/blahblah
(bad)

My process is:

Download file from Baked Snacks website to root of SD
Boot into recovery
Attempt to Flash
*Rageguy*
Used NAND to restore to my previous image
Try again

Yes, I'm sure I have root
Yes, I've tried downloading the rom several different times
Yes, I wipe data/cache each time
I even tried renaming the file from: bakedsnack1.9.evo.zip to bakedsnack1_9_evo.zip

no luck

Any ideas?

*********UPDATE********** Rom is currently installing. WOOT! The fix was making sure the Download didn't time out (i was downloading it from the site directly to the evo) and NOT touching it in any way before flashing. Hope it continues to work!
