Well I was going to put my first ROM on (cyanogen) and something went wrong. I had done a Nandroid backup and when I try it says Error while flashing boot image. I can't get past the boot screen. In desperation I tried Wipe data/factory reset in Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.0.1 to no avail. Can anyone help me outta this mess?
Anyone There ??
Can anyone help??
Make sure your battery is charged up enough, too low and nandroid will fail on most recovery versions but the latest amonra.
If that doesn't work look for a .img file to flash back to stock
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Where would I look for a .img file? On the SD?
If you can still wipe then you can get to recovery. Us the USB-MS toggle to connect your phone to your computer. Re-download a ROM's zip fie and try again. try something very stable, wipe, then reflash. It should boot fine. Sprintlovers is a good stable rom to work with. Just download, use USB-MS toggle to copy it to the root of your SD card, turn off USB-MS toggle, WIPE ALL! / factory data reset, then flash zip from SD card. Wait for that to finish and it will boot fine.
Here is a link to the sprint lovers download:

and the thread:

If you are using clockwork recovery I think the USB toggle is under partition menu, that or advanced.
Thanks so much. I'll try that, but I'm not sure what you mean by the USB-MS toggle. Would you mind expanding on that a little? I really appreciate it.
I just searched for it. I have a different recovery so the wording is different. Connect your phone to the computer while in recovery. Move down to the Partition menu and enter that. One of the options should be "Mount USB". Click that.
A folder should pop up on your computer showing the contents of your SD card. Copy the .zip file that I gave you the link to above to the SD card. Then disconnect USB.
Wipe or factory reset from the wipe menu. Then flash the .zip from the SD card. Then reboot the phone. It will take a few minutes to load, but should work.
I can't thank you enough! I was scared sh-tless that I'd bricked my phone. Wish I could buy you a drink!!!
Glad to help!
If that works make a nandroid backup immediately so if it happens again you can restore the working sprint lovers.
If you want to try cyanogenmod again re-download (could have corrupted before), and always wipe before you flash the .zip or it will bootloop.
Have fun!
You know what I'd really like to do is restore the Nandroid that I did right before I got into this mess. But I keep getting the " Error while flashing boot image" message. I'm charging another battery to see if that's the cause of the error. What do you think?
I'm not sure. Could be a battery thing. I know it does give an error if the battery is too low, but i don't remember what the message is. I think it won't do anything if it is less than 30%.

I got those errors a couple times when I first started out. I fixed it by flashing the rom I was running when I made the nandroid and then restored my nandroid over that.
Didn't I probably lose that ROM when I did the Factory reset?

No you don't lose your nandroid when you wipe back to factory. Your nandroid might be corrupt. It happens some times. I flash your custom ROM, set everything up the way you want it. Then do a nandroid backup. Copy that over to your PC to save space as it is a large file.
help, stuck in bootloader/recovery
« on: Today at 01:48:03 AM » Quote Modify Remove
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stock 2.2 3.29 rooted w/unrevolked.
any help is appreciated.
So I was looking into roms and I downloaded ROM manager 3.0.1.1. Thats when my trouble started. I did a back up with the rom manager and it wiped my old nandroid back ups and I was stuck in bootloader/recovery and couldn't restore my back up. I do an nandroid back up about once a month and they were all gone. I did back up my sd card in december and I had an old back up on it and I flashed it and it worked.
Tonight I tired to flash an older version of clockwork (like I had before) and I'm stuck at the bootloader/recovery again. I tried to restore an old nandroid and nothing seems to work.
I'm open to suggestions.
Should I try to flash a new rom and start over ?
any way to get my old customized rom back ? (I have the clockwork back ups)
thanks
are you able to boot a rom at all?
I haven't tried a different rom, but I cannot boot my current or older.
It can't load PM36IMG.zip, I tried loading one onto my card but it just aborts the installation. Is there a more current or older one one I need ?
that might be a problem. you sayed you were trying to put a PM36IMG.ZIP on but you need a PC36IMG.ZIP i believe if your on an evo. use amon-ra and and flash a new rom and see if it works. copy and paste this link into your url and it will start a download for amon-ra recovery. hope this works
http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
also don't try to flash a clockwork nandroid backup with amon-ra or vise versa. it will mess up your phone from what ive heard
I wonder if it does not like your sd. I am thinking try a different sd or see if you can format yours.
I also do not like ROM managers. They always seem to want an upgrade and then when you do the upgrade your old backups may or may not be compatible any more. To get your old file back you would probably have to run an unerase or some type of debug program on the sd card. erased files are not really erased they just have an F5 in front of them to tell the computer that the space is availible. If you have a backup on your compter or old SD I think you should be able to that.
I did check for errors on my SD card, nothing bad there.
I put a PC36IMG.zip on my SD and when I try to install the zip from my sd it says operation aborted.
I think my entire problem is the fact that I have clockworkMod recovery v3.0.0.5. I've read (after) that anything after 2.6 is not going to play nice with my evo.
I tried downloading a stock rooted rom and I cannot flash it. Anytime I boot the phone it stays on the HTC EVO white screen, I can hold down the - and power and I can go into HBOOT/fastboot/bootloader/recovery, then it cannot find the PC36DIAG.zip, and PC36ING, and a few others.
I really appreciate the help, keep it coming
edit: I'll try pulling everything off my card and formatting it...
card is fine.
I loaded a older clockwork recovery then tried to flash a different rom...
it started opening, installing, formatting, deleting, copying, then...
E: can't symlink/system/xbin/su
E:failure at line 76:
synlink/system/bin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su
installation aborted.
and when I restore a previous nand backup it appears to work then when I reboot the screen looks scrambled and freezes.
I'm tired
I'm starting to think a hard reset and starting over might be my only way out.
Your system can not root since it can not find /system/xbin/su su is not in bin
ln -T /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su would probably be the approach if you were running. Not sure if you could edit line 76 to change bin to xbin, copy a proper symbolic link or?
I looked in bin and there were many links to the tool box that appeared to be associated with error logging. With this in mind it seems to me that this link is part of the recovery/installation process.
I would try to correct the permissions.
I was able to do a hard reset and my phone booted up rooted still..so I restored my apps from Titanium Back up.
Right now I can shut my phone off, restart it, no problem. If I go into recovery, problem.
I need to get rid of clockwork asap, I've read about Amon_ra's recovery but I don't think I have enough knowledge yet on how to install. I've tried installing from a zip but I'm just not doing it right. I can go into folders on my phone (root explorer), should I just delete clockwork anywhere I find it ? I just don't want to go blindly deleting files, that would be dumb.
I need recovery back...this is scary
suggestions ?
I have been into Android modding since My G1 from day ONE, I bricked a friends G1 and had to swap internal stuff and fixed it so I have never had a problem I could not solve till now, Like the guy above I cannot boot into my ROM. I have running Myn's Roms since his(their) first release with ZERO problems until RLS5. I started getting random reboots so like any other time when this happened with anyone elses ROM I did the Recovery, Wipe Dalvic Cache, Wipe Cache reboot and that was that, However today my Evo would not stop rebooting every 5-10 minutes so I wiped from scratch even my sd card was wiped, then reflashed Myn's RLS5 got it to boot once and after finishing SETUP it was on for like 2 maybe 3 minutes and again REBOOT!!! this time staying on the white screen, So I pulled the battery and went to recovery and wiped dalvic and cache rebooted and from then on It does not get past the white screen, I can still get into Fastboot and Recovery but it DOES NOT boot into the ROM, I am now Flashing MYN'S Z 2.2 and praying it boots. Do you guys think VIRUSES are now affecting OUR EVO's????
I just need to get rid of clockwork and I'm still stuck on that...

ok, I just want to be clear.
First, I'm sorry if I'm noobish
next, I'm gonna put that PC36IMG on my SD card (just anywhere on the card) then go into the bootloader, choose apply update, then boot into recovery, then done, correct ?
side note, I've read around that it should be put on the root of the card, I don't have a root folder on the card, but there is one in the internal system file (found it in root explorer).
just want to clarify before I loose everything again.
You are correct, and the "root" of the sdcard means to just be on the sdcard, not inside any folders. Also don't extract the zip file.
solved.
you sir, are my hero.
you have solved my problem, I'm speechless and so freakin excited right now.
I sincerely thank you and owe you.

Would this work for the Incredible as well? I have the same issue (tried to flash clockwork recover but can't get into it on the phone). Also cannot get into the ROM, so stuck at the boot screen and nearly every command brings me back to it...
Thanks
i have read most of the threads and even though they make sense my phone is is worse then before i rooted it..somehow my contacts saved to my sd card but not my apps (they have folders but no info) plus somehow i got 40 phone #s once i booted up cm6... i know its crazy...the rom mangager fc a lot...and my backup on the computer is only contacts and pics for sum reason also i treid transferring the PC36IMG which shows up in the files but doesnt respond...this is not fun ...plsease help
I'm confused a little by your post. Why not just restore from your nandroid backup? Or flash a different rom?
Are you saying that Titanium Backup failed to restore your apps? Cyanogenmod is not Sense, which came with your phone. TB cannot restore apps from Sense.
If you want Sense, use a Sense ROM like Myn's... or Sprint Lovers if you like stock.

Make sure you are rooted with S-OFF displayed in the bootloader. To do this, turn off your EVO. Now press the down volume button while also pressing the power button until your device starts. You will enter the bootloader screen. You should see either S-ON or S-OFF at the top. If it is S-ON, you need to re-root your device. if it is S-ON, you *should* be good to go. I suggest you start over and follow the below instructions to the letter.
I would redo EVERYTHING from scratch. EVERYTHING meaning the following:
1. Copy the contents of your SD card and place them on your PC/Mac or independent external hard drive.
2. (DISREGARD) Format and re-partition your SD card (Disregard)
3. Place only a newly downloaded rom zip that you plan to flash, amon RA recovery (zip or img), Radio, Wimax, PRI & NV updates on the root of your SD card. The files can be downloaded from the links below:
Odexed Stock Rom -- http://goo.gl/uFdtB
amon RA -- http://goo.gl/cgh5e
Radio Update -- http://goo.gl/PmfKu
PRI Update -- http://goo.gl/A3NE3
NV Update -- http://goo.gl/h8JYf
WiMax Update -- http://goo.gl/qFwCt
4. Shut down your EVO and then press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will be directed to the Hboot screen where amon RA zip file will be automatically detected and you will be prompted to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery.
5. Go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card.
6. Go to the FLASH menu and flash rom but DO NOT REBOOT!
7. Flash the Radio update. You will see a screen with a device & green arrows. Be patient because you will appear to stall. BE PATIENT and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!After some time has passed, you will automatically be reboot into the recovery screen.
8. Flash the PRI. What I stated in #7 applies here, as well
9. Flash the NV. What I stated in #7 applies here, too.
10. Flash the WiMax. #7 applies here also.
11. Reboot. you WILL APPEAR TO HANG at the white HTC screen. Do not be alarmed. Be patient and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY. After some time has passed, you will then see the rom's splash screen and appear to hang and afterwards, you will see your home screen.
12. After you've signed in with your Google credentials, go to menu-settings-System Updates and then select Update profile.
You should be good to go afterwards. Enjoy!...

Sorry for the absence. I had errands to run. Anyway, displaying S-OFF is a good thing. Now let's see if you can get into recovery. You mentioned Unrevoked, so I'm assuming Clockworkmod is your recovery. You also mentioned that you can't pull anything off the card. Can you get into recovery? If so, there should be a mount menu or MS-USB or something to that effect. Select it and your computer *should* recognize your SD Card. Give it a try.

No. Can you boot into either recovery or your homescreen? If so, you *should* be able to mount and format your SD card using your EVO 4G.

It is possible. I'm not a fan of ROM Manager. It is far too easy to do it manually from within recovery. Menu with the hat? I'm assuming that's Clockworkmod recovery. I highly recommend that you flash amon RA recovery. It'll only take mere seconds to flash and it will not interfere with your system. Try this...Turn off your device and take out the SD card briefly and then reinsert it. Boot up all the way to your homescreen. Afterwards, go to your file manager and see if you can see the contents of your card. If so, that is a good thing.

ive tried that 3 times and i got nothing...
I really recommend that you start over from scratch.
1. Flash amon RA recovery v2.3
2. After the recovery has been flashed, reboot into recovery, go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING including the SD card.
3. Attach the device to your computer via USB, then from within recovery, go to the MS-USB menu and select it. A drive should appear on your computer's desktop or explorer window.
4. Copy the rom zip file you used to install the rom you were using to the SD card.
5. If you were using CyanogenMod, also copy the latest gapps zip to the SD card.
6. Unmount the SD card first from your computer and then from within recovery by clicking the power button on your device.
7. Go into the Flash menu and flash the rom. Do not reboot afterwards if you're going to also flash the gapps zip.
8. Aftervyoure done flashing your rom and gapps, if necessary, reboot your device.

It is possible thar your SD card is fried. Do you have a spare? Do you have a card reader or another device capable of reading the card? Anyway, if you deem the card to be ruined then purchase another one and then start over with a fresh install per the instructions from my recent reply.
Anyway, I've gotta go. I'll check back on you a little later.

I have Full Root to my phone and am trying to flash new roms. I have tried Rom Manager App and Recovery Boot Process and neither works. I get an error than zip file is bad. I have android Version 2.2
Software #3.70.651.1
When I use ROM Manager and Flash Clockwork Mod, It's says HTC Evo (CDMA). Does the CDMA version stop me from flashing Mods?
PLEASE HELP...
Don't use Rom Manager to flash. If you've tried flashing manually through recovery and you still get errors, try Amon Ra. You can flash it through Rom Manager. Go into Amon Ra, go ahead and do a nandroid backup as backups made with ClockworkMod won't work with Ra, then wipe and flash.
Also, what is the exact error you're getting? And no, CDMA has nothing to do with it.

I did a ROM Backup on ROM Manager. How do I do a Nandroid Backup? and How do I use Amon Ra? Sorry for being totally ignorant to these facts, but I am a complete newbie at this.
The new clockword can't flash certain roms because the scripting has changed. The best way to do it is going to be this way. Open up rom manager, scroll down to the bottom where it says "flash alternate recovery" then click the flash button for amon ra 2.3.. After the has completed reboot into recovery. (turn phone off then hold power and volume down, then select recovery) that will take you to amons recovery. Go to to the backup/restore menu (using the volume keys to navigate, and power button to press "enter" then click then perform a nandroid backup. I would select everything but android secure and sd-card ext. (they take up tons of space) then you will have succesfuly performed a backup of your current setup. I would get used to doing all your flashing through recovery, its much more stable. (recovery is the menu u were just in to perform the backup) Put the zip file of your rom you want to flash on the root of your sd card (not in a folder) Go back into recovery, enter the wipe menu, at least wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache. Then go to install zip from sd card, select your rom zip, and click flash, it will then flash the rom for you. hope this helps

Before starting, try to have at least 50% battery and have the rom on the root of your SD card - not in any folders.
The backup you did in Rom Manager is the same as a nandroid backup. If you've already "flashed alternate recovery" in Rom Manager, then power the phone down. Hold down the volume down button and power button at the same time until the phone turns on to a white screen with skating Androids. This is the bootloader/hboot. Check the top and make sure it says ship s-off at the top (if it says s-on then you aren't fully rooted). Assuming you're s-off, use the volume buttons to move up/down the menu. Highlight the option that says "recovery", then press the power button to choose it. Your phone will show the white HTC Evo screen then boot to recovery. From there (using the volume and power buttons like you did before), choose backup/restore, then nandroid backup. Leave the first three options checked then do your backup. When that finishes, go ahead and backup your wimax. Go to the nandroid backup screen, uncheck the first three options with the power button, then check only wimax. Do the backup again. Then go to the wipe menu. Wipe everything in the list except the SD card. When that's finished, go back, then install zip from SD card. Choose zip from SD card, then use the volume up button to go all the way to the bottom. Highlight the rom you want to flash and press the power button. Confirm with the power button, then let it flash. Then reboot.

I really appreciate the help plainjane & jeffm922? Two last questions, hopefully. I am trying this just after rooting my phone about a week ago. I keep seeing things about radios and wimax and kernels, and gingerbread, and other stuff I never heard of...LOL. 1st Question, do I need to download a certain type of radio or wimax or kernels for certain roms??? and 2nd Question, with me only having Version 2.2,which I gues is Froyo, do I only have the capabilities to download Roms for Froyo or doest that change depending on what Rom I install? SORRY AGAIN FOR MY IGNORANCE ON THE MATTER, BUT I'll NEVER KNOW UNLESS I ASK.
THANKS In ADVANCE

Certain roms do require the latest radios, etc. If it does, there will be info in the directions for the rom (usually in the first couple posts). If you do need to flash a radio update, when you reboot from recovery you will see a black screen with an Android in a box or a phone with a down arrow... don't freak out and pull the battery - this screen is part of the radio update. Let it run and it will take you back to recovery when it's finished. If you do pull the battery, you will most likely brick your phone.
There are Gingerbread roms and Froyo roms - you can flash either. Just be sure to read all of the information given on the first page of the thread so you don't miss any info & always do a backup and you'll be fine.

OK tried flashing SNS v1.3.zip the exact way the instructions you gave me tell me to. It says same thing as it did when I used ROM Manager.
1. Finding update package...
2. Opening Update Package...
and then here it goes
3. Can't open /sdcard/SNS v1.3.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
What am I doing wrong or not doing at all? I downloaded this Rom off of the following thread [ROM]UPDATE!(4/28/11) SmoothnSexy V1.3, Gingerbread-ish looking Froyo/SENSE
from this site.
Also noticed this when doing fastboot PC36DIAG.zip
Is this correct?

Do you have Amon RA Recovery. Did you install it and when you hold the power and vol- button together, you get a white screen. At the top does it say S-OFF?
If so, then proceed to go to the recovery. If it is Amon RA, it will be green. If it is the latest version of clockwork (which you don't want to use), then, it's orange.
If it's green, then wipe cache, data, boot, system, dalvik cache, sd-ext (if you have it) and then flash your ROM.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP FIRST from whatever Recovery you are using. Clockword(orange lettering), does not support Edify scripting, only Amend. If you have Amon RA(green lettering), it supports both edify and amend scripting.
I did this but it says skipping Wipe od SDEXT...
Could this be the problem?
says skipping Wipe of SDEXT...
not
skipping Wipe od SDEXT...
Something else to take into consideration, your SD card may need to be re-formatted as well. Try this:
Once you have Amon-RA installed, and you are booted into it, then connect the phone to your computer via the USB cable. Navigate to USB-MS Toggle and activate it, you should now be able to copy everything from the card to your computer (re-partitioning will erase everything on the card).
After you have backed up, you can use the partition SDCard menu to repartition and reformat your card. Or you can use the Wipe menu to just format the SDCard - though I would re-partition it just to ensure the file system on the card is truly reset. If you do re-partition, use 0 for a swap (most ROMs don't use it), use anywhere from 0-500MB for the ext (this will be mostly used by app2sd, and not a requirement of the ROM, so it is optional), and the rest of your card size for the remainder (this will be partitioned as FAT32, I believe).
Once that process is complete, you can copy your ROM back over to the card (USB-MS toggle) and try again.
I had similar issues with MY Evo (using the SD card that came with it), re-partitioning it worked like a charm in clearing out all of the problems I had been experiencing. Good Luck!

That's not the problem. You are s-off correct? I've never heard of that rom, you got it from the Evo Development forums, right? Make sure it's compatible with your phone.
I've seen this problem before, so do a search and see what the solution was.
EDIT: Do what Big John said, that sounds like a likely culprit.

SDEXT is just the EXT partition on the SD card (if there is one, see my previous post). What you are seeing is recovery just telling you that this partition doesn't exist.

Get aman ra for sure then do it all thru recovery

I've had the same problem you are having and I'm about to try what everyone has suggested on your post. Question though... when you partition your SD does it delete everything on the SD card? And did you partition the SD before or after what everyone suggested? Thanks!
so, finally i decided to root and flash CM7
root with unrevoked went smooth and well (love when it says "this was a triumph")...
so i downloaded ROM MANAGER , made the Clockwork stuff and finally gave the instruction to partition the sd card (8gb, dunno the class... is 1 year old sandisk anyway)... the phone just reboot and get stuck with an image of a droid with a triangle and a "!" inside it...
i searched the fora but seems that no one got this problem...
please take in consideration that i am a total n00b, and i would like to do everything without too much effort from my side (please appreciate my honest being) ... i suppose that this partioning is necessary to run cm7 and app2sd...
how can i solve this problem?
reading other threads just gave me an enormous list of programs, linux, ubuntu etc etc and the basic result is me thinking: "wtf"
thank you for any useful answer...
Ciao!
Do full wipe/factory reset & dalvik cache wipe.
Try to repartition SD Card in recovery (choose 512mb+ ext partition and no swap)
Flash ROM from recovery, see what happens.
No need to use ROM Manager.
thx k3lcior
i wiped and ect
how to partition from recovery?
Depends on recovery, if you have some old one it might be not possible.
Just look at the recovery, should be somewhere in "Advanced" if i remember correctly.
ps.
Are you comfortable with linux?
There is very easy guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVK-tJe8pXE&feature=related
Just instead of making 3 partitions make Fat32 and leave 1GB for ext2/3.
actually is Clockwork recovery v2.5.0.7 and is impossible to find any "partition sd" in the menus ... how can i get and install a different recovery (ie yours seems cool) ?
ps.
totally unfamiliar with linux...

Download to flash through HBOOT. Put it onto your sdcard, rename it to PB99IMG.zip and boot into bootloader. (hold vol - and power)
If somehow it still didnt worked, you can try to Root again with Unrevoked, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661319&stc=1&d=1311251519
Extract it, in Unrevoked choose "Custom Recovery" at the top under "file" and select the .img file you extracted, should be good. ;-)
ok i dl the file, put in sd and renamed it... and boot into bootloader, then pressing recovery its always giving me the old clockwork recovery...
is this related to rom manager always? should i uninstall it?
sorry for being sooo n00bish
When you put it into root of the sdcard (not any folders), renamed to PB99IMG.zip upon entering bootloader (vol- power) it should ask if you want to apply update, hit yes.
so finally i solved...
Updating from recovery was not working (same for bootloader), and i was starting to lose the hope...
so i managed to install CM7, planning to try a Panasonic program to partition drives in windows...
I have found in CM7 again ROM MANAGER, tried again to partition with no chance...
i re tried "Fix Permission" command into it and this time it worked (was not working in stock ROM)
then again partition with no chance...
in recovery mod i tried to install zip from SD (your recovery mod) , with no succes...
suddenly i have found in the menu "toggle permission" command, pressed it and then again "install zip from SD"
here come the mystery:
Phone started to partition the card, but without installing the new recovery... result: it seems that now card has a partition ...
i also installed the zip of gapps and now i can start to enjoy CM7 with all the google stuff etc...
im stille convinced that in the phone there are some gnomes that sometime are lazy and sometime not...
anyway i would like to thank you for your help and patience, hope that this experience might help someone other even if the best suggestion that i can give after all is : pray the gnomes...
Ciao!
