This is most likely caused by a not unlocked nand...did you root sucessfully prior to flashing the rom?
Same thing happened to me when I tried to install DC without nand being unlocked. Damage control was too finicky for me even when I got it working.
I am running cm nightly now and am very happy.

When that happened to me in the past, I was told that I needed to wipe the phone, clear out the cache and dalvik cache, then flash. Our it could be a bad flash (doubtful). I had the danger thing happen on the evo with the joeykrim rom. It boot looped, even though I wiped and cleared all the caches. I dunno other than that.

Have you tried using Amon recovery?
When I use Rom mgr to flash that recovery it says it works then when I try to reboot to the recovery Im right back in clockwork NOT ra. I've tried to manually (use of terminal app) flash ra recovery but like others it says image/file not found....

try going into your recovery menu and performing a data and cache wipe?
As indicated in his thread, clockwork does not play nice with DC.
I understood it doesn't play nice with clockwork, but at the time I was unable to get ra on my phone clockwork kept booting. I was able to get ra using the start over method, I think the real problem was with my version of hboot since that's the only variable that has changed.

So I have rooted but having issues flashing roms. I Have been able to flash to Sprint lovers using the PC36IMG on the root and holding Vol down then Power. But any other rom I have issues with.
I tried to load others via RomManager / Clockwork Mod. I have gotten as far as saying it was successful but it will not boot into the new rom.
Any suggestions?
Try using amon recovery

Thanks... I tried but same result. It shows the rom installing in amon, then boots to the evo white screen... twice. Then back into recovery. I dont get it. I have full root and can load Sprint Lovers rom through Fastboot (pc36img). But roms wont boot successfully after installing through recovery. And I have tried multiple roms.
I flashed the new amon 2.2 recovery and decided i didnt like it so i flashed the old amon 1.8 after flashing back to 1.8 i cant get a rom to boot up ive tried flashing new roms restoring old nandroids anything. i was gonna flash back to 2.2 recovery but i cant get it to flash without the computer recognizing my phone for adb commands. the phone only gets stuck on my splash screen and freezes

I figured out that pre3.70 builds don't like these new partitions related to newer hboots....

The easiest thing to try would be reflashing the recovery. You can easily do this using Rom manager. If you were on clockwork, just select flash clockworkmod recovery. If you were using Amon, select flash alternate recovery. After that completes, try booting to recovery again. See if that takes care of it for you.
Use ROM Manager to reflash your recovery.
Ok i got it now, i really appreciate ur help guys i was getting nervous for a sec lol

Flashed cm7 on bosses Inc and then gapps. Got the phone booted then went to file manager to move the radio to SD root then rebooted to hboot and it doesn't see the radio image which is named correctly.
So I can't flash the new radio but the phones ril is working so...
Next, the market will not open... just hangs at the white screen the shuts down and goes to the home screen

I'm having the same problem with Market right now. Just flashed CM7 7.0 final. Tried several other ROMs too. They're all doing the same thing.
Had the wrong gapps flashed lol. Funny thing is had a customer come in with a stock ally doing the same thing and a rooted d2 doing it too lol.
Still doesn't change the cackle I can't flash anything through hboot on this phone

I've tried 3 different GAPPS packages, plus Sense ROMs are doing it for me too.
Is your sdcard formatted to fat 32? Necessary to flash via hboot.
Ill have to check that, the one thing I forgot, what is it stock?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
Before you install your ROM make sure you wipe everything. Make sure you format /system
Doing those 2 things will fix most people's problems.
Also CM7.0 is pretty buggy, I would suggest flashing RC1 or preferably one of the latest nightlies.

FAT, so if you didn't format it, that's your problem.

Okay, so the phone was running awesome. Then he went to hang up on a call and the phone rebooted. It went into a boot loop. So I restored stock nandroid. Then wiped and reinstalled cm7 and all was good. dropped back down to recovery and flashed gapps and the phone boot looped again... I'm baffled.

When upgrading from nightly to nightly, I only do a dalvik wipe which can be done via RM. But when going from different roms, you need to do a full wipe, including system, which can only be done in recovery.
I don't know much about this stuff but what I have experienced is that rom manager sometimes doesn't fully wipe cache and dalvik cache and it makes my phone loop

Ended up downloading cm7.0.3 and a different gapps and all seems well except he is claiming to have SMS issues

I cant even boot into recovery. Any ideas? I was using it and it just restarted and I cant do anything at all. It goes to the white htc evo screen and then reboots into a loop. Device is rooted btw.
I've been getting similar issues. Do you happen to have an exchange account?

Can you boot into the bootloader after a battery pull and replace, followed by holding volume down and power buttons at the same time?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I Couldnt get into recovery to wipe anything, nor unroot the device. Reflashing a recovery or RUU through the bootloader didnt work either. Luckily I was able to get a new EVO from my local Sprint store today even though my device was rooted! Came with 2.3.3. so I was sad that I wouldnt be able to root. Then I come online, and BAM! 2.3.3 got root access today! #WINNING
And BTW, I was tethering and sending a text when the phone suddenly rebooted and wouldnt stop. Wasnt cause by the root or flashing anything.
