HBOOT problem - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I just finished completing the guide on how to root 2.2, and I read on the forums that some people were having trouble installing CM6 with the method, and a different HBOOT was required. I flashed the HBOOT from showthread.php?t=75283 and now my phone will not boot. It keeps going to the Bootloader, any ideas as to what I can do?
[Edit]
I can get into Amon_Ra recovery fine

so just go to recovery from there... what's the problem?

And what do I do from Recovery? I'm sorry, but I'm new to all of this.
[Edit]
I can't boot my phone up for some reason, if there is something I can mess with in recovery mode, let me know
I managed to get my HBOOT back to 0.79.0000, but it still won't go past the bootloader screen, no matter how I try to restart the phone.

Wipe, then flash CM6 or something else from recovery.

To flash a rom, put the zip file on the SD card in the bottom folder. Get into the Amon ra recovery. Clear your cache. Flash the zip file. All done.
Btw, before you clear the cache and flash the zip do a man's backup... Always do a man's backup. That's what will save you if you screw up.

if you want cm6 (and you should) you need the .76 bootloader

same here, my evo keeps rebooting to Hboot, i go to clockworkMod recovery and restore using nandroid but i get this: Error while flashing boot image!
I dont know what to do, I cant use my phone. please help, waht can i do to reverse what i did.

I ended up pushing the PC36IMG.zip from a link in that thread, with the default HBOOT. Now I gotta go back to 0.76 lol. One quick follow up, how do I push/delete/move files from my sdcard within adb in recovery? I can't seem to find the files when I do ls and cd into a dir. Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it

Thanks for the help guys, I have everything fixed and am now running CM6. Really liking it.
If anyone wants to know what I did in more detail to fix my problems, let me know and I'll post a mini-guide.

This is right. I had the same prob then ran toasts simpleroot nandunlock to get hboot .76. For some reason I lost my flash.bin and had to reflash a recovery thru cmd to atop getting flash_image not found message

So basically I need to go back and forward from .79 to .76 everytime I want to switch between cm6 and other custom roms like fresh or any of those roms?

I'm still pretty new to this stuff, so bare with me. And please if someone notices a mistake in this guide let me know so I can change/fix it.
First of all you need to make sure you've fully completed all the steps (including part 2) for rooting 2.2. Make sure you're in recovery, this guide will flash Amon_RA 1.8.0. After that it's pretty simple:
1) Download the PC36IMG.zip from
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7889836&postcount=18​
2) Copy it in zip format to the tools directory of your android SDK, mine is
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools​
3) Open cmd from the tools location
Windows 7: highlight the tools folder, then shift + right click and hit "open command window here". cmd window should pop up that has the location of the tools folder.​
4) Type
adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/​
To make sure it transferred okay, go to flash zip in recovery and see if the file is there.
5) Back out of recovery into the boot loader by rebooting the phone (should be an option in recovery somewhere)
6) click bootloader once your evo starts up, and it should auto detect the new PC36IMG.zip and ask for you to apply update, apply it and reboot. You should now have the 0.76 bootloader and Amon_RA 1.8.0.
7) You can now delete the PC36IMG.zip file if you want by typing
adb shell
rm PC36IMG.zip​
This next part if only for cyanogen mod, but it should be pretty similar to other ROMs.
1) Download all files needed for cyanogen mod (both the ROM and Google Aps)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596​
I also suggest you download the latest radio from XDA as well.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485​
2) Place all the files in the tools folder exactly as they are.
3) Boot into recovery on your evo.
4) Open a cmd prompt from the tools folder just like in step 3 in part 1
5) Type:
adb push EVO_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.zip /sdcard/
adb push update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip /sdcard/
adb push gapps-hdpi-20100817-signed.zip /sdcard/​
6) Chose flash zip in recovery and flash radio.zip, reboot the phone
7) Go back into recovery
8) Wipe your SDCard (cache/davlk-cache/etc.)
9) Flash cyanogemod ROM and then Google Apps
You should now have an updated radio, Cyanogen mod and the latest google apps. Good luck, if you have any questions please let me know. I'm pretty new at this android stuff but I'll try to help the best I can.

I feel retarded

OK, this is downright embarrassing, I have linux experience, I have experience unlocking and flashing almost every HTC winmo device, and right now I seriously need a clue on how to flash my evo with damagecontrol.. i believe i already rooted it properly, i come to this conclusion by typing "id" at the terminal on the device and the uid is root. seriously i feel dumb right now.
well if you are rooted all you need to do is put the rom zip on your memory card and then go into recovery..
from there wipe then flash from zip.
from what ive seen soo far, might i have to rename the damagecontrol rom zip to pc36IMG.zip? and to get to the recovery screen just hold vol down and power?

You don't need to rename it. Yes, that is how you get into recovery. If you're using ClockworkMod recovery, then you should select "Install zip from SD card" and then browse to the ROM, then install it. You might need to wipe your data first for it to work properly. Do a nandroid backup first in case something goes wrong.
ROM Manager... works wonders for noobs like us
ok, Maybe i need to see the whole picture in a verifyable way. Just so i can see this thing from the inside out i have some more questions.
1. How do i verify that I have full root access? I am root when i "id" at console.
2. Im assuming NAND is protected storage onboard the phone.. How do i verify I have it unlocked?
3. How do i know the recovery image has been flashed?
Where these questions come from is the fact that I used jiqqaman's OTA simple root witch i think was a big mistake if i was to understand what is actually happening and being done.. so basically after running OTA simple root i have no idea whats been done, or how it was done...
if you used simply root you should be ok.. i rooted my Evo 1st thing the "old way".. not sure how to check if you are fully rooted. maybe someone else can help there.
1st thing you need to do is find the pc36IMG.zip and delete it of remane it.... i did mine root-pc36IMG.zip
then power off the phone..... when its off hold the power button and volume down ( same time) this should give you a white screen while it reads for the pc36 zip... since you remaned it nothing will happen.... after this you should see recovery.. should be the 2nd one...
volume down to highlight it and hit power buttom
the phone should go into recover mode.... from there you should see wipe etc... wipe data and cache then flash rom from zip
dont remane the rom.... volume keys to navigate..
hope this helps
ok, so far so good, but when i go to flash the new rom, I choose install update from SDcard, it then looks for it and cant find it. The rom is on the root of the SD and it's named "DamageControlv3.1.2-deodexed.zip" also trying the ROM manager pops an error of "an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands."
Alright what you need to do is download ROM manager from the market. Once you do that do the "flash clockworkmod recovery" and then once its done click on "reboot into recovery" then you should be able to install the ROM. Hope this helped

once rooted.. simply put the rom in your card and unplug the phone to flash.

Okay I have no clue what you have and don't have. But a few thoughts, make sure you are choosing install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard and not apply sdcard:update.zip. If you are unsure you have a recovery image flashed, in extras on SimpleRoot there is an option to flash recovery. Other than that not too sure what is wrong.
unrevoke will only give you root and not nand unlocked...,you need to run toast method 2 nand unlock.

When you boot into recovery (while the phone is off hold volume down and power up) check the top of the screen to see what version hboot you have. If you ran simple root and showing version 0.79.0000 then something went wrong. It should say 0.76.2000

I am having the exact same issue. I get the error message from rom manager as well. And I cannot tether. I flashed some other roms that have had too many bugs to count so I am back at "just rooted" nandroid restore and am getting the same errors. What is the next step?

He mentioned that he ran simple root program not unrevoked and simple root will unlock nand. See my post above to verify if your actually rooted. If hboot version is .79 then you have not unlocked nand.
success, it seems once youve already used simpleroot, it's a PITA to get clockwork on it unless you use the option in extras of simpleroot. Success is mine, although i think i have a few more grey hairs for it. Thanks to all those who helped. And to put out words of advice for any other newbs... when they say wipe, they mean cache, userdata AND DELVIC! If you dont you might crap yourself when the phone goes into boot loop! I know i almost lost it. Thanks again everyone!

Can not load Amon Ra over Clockwork to save my soul...grrr

Ok I have tried the terminal emulator, adb, I have uninstalled ROM Manger and re installed it. i have tried to use boot alternate recovery. All to no avail. Does any one have a clue how I can get Amon Ra loaded. BTW I have searched and read every post on this nothing seems to work.

Im look at unrevoked forever wiki now ...
All right, I'm gonna assume you're rooted since you have CWM recovery. Here's what I need you to do:
Download this.
Put it in the root (Z:\) of your SD card.
Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
Flash the zip file.
Turn off your Evo.
Hold VOL DOWN, then press the lock button to turn it on.
It should boot into a white screen (called the "bootloader" or "hboot").
On the top line, look for "S-OFF". If it's there, continue on. If it doesn't say S-OFF, go back to step 3.
Download this.
Put this in the root of your SD card. Make sure it's named PC36IMG.ZIP EXACTLY.
Boot back into hboot. (refer to step 6)
It should detect the zip you just downloaded and ask if you want to install it.
Select yes.
Let it finish.
Tell it NOT to restart. Go into the bootloader, and select recovery. (Use the volume keys to navigate, power button to select.)
You (should) now be in Amon_RA Recovery!
You could just flash alternate recovery in rom manager.

Yeah ive had the evo rooted for a while been custom ROMing for a bit. (you would think I'd know what i'm doing by now )
What is the reason for adding PC36IMG and reloading it? This will of course blank out my current Fresh build (right?) Buy hey I'll give it ago.
Thanks man this was the trick! Im now in Aman Ra. Thank GOD I can wipe my Davlik cache now.....Thanks again
The PC36IMG.zip that I linked contains only the Amon_RA recovery. The reason you go back is because it won't take unless you have S-OFF or a .76.2000 HBOOT version, so you should verify before you start going crazy flashing stuff.
I was not able to load RA on one of my phones using ADB and had to use fastboot. I remember reading about some phones having more bad blocks and that was the case with one of our phones. I was able to use ADB for the other one.

Oh Boy...Huge Error...Help Requested

Okay. I've search around and haven't found anything yet.
I recently got a new evo and rooted with the Unrevoked 3.0 beta RC2 yesterday. All was going well until I tried to upgrade to the CM 6.1.2 this morning. Google apps wasn't installed so I flashed the zip which put me in to a boot loop with Clockwork.
It was giving me an error when I tried to restore the backup. I tried to flash pc36img.zip and now whenever I go into recovery I am in RA-evo-v1.8 which I am unfamiliar with. I've tried installing other ROMs via this recovery but the prcess is aborted each time.
Any help would be more than appreciated. I am literally stuck.

Need any and all information about your phone. I also notice that you are new. The dev section isnt for Q/A there is an entire section dedicated to solving these issues. Please remember that next time. Keeps things cleaner. So please gather anything you can about your phone. Method, Hboot, Version, Radio, Anything that can help anyone here identify something.
Do you have the rom in the root of the usb card? If so try full data wipe and installing the room see if it boots up.
Thanks for the quick reply. Will remember. Desperation has gotten the better of me. I will move over to Q/A if you prefer.

I agree with this method... the best way to determine the recovery to use would be to go into the terminal and type
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
if you see "400000" then you need to get the clockwork v3.0.0.2 that supports this phone partion layout. If you see "20000" then you should get amon_ra 1,8 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
The information I gathered was from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894331
Making sure you have the correct recovery is the first step. Once that is done create a nandroid and save it somewhere to ensure that the wimax partition is saved.
You have to flash the modified version of Amon_ra found in Zikronix thread. You can find my thread that points to it or just search for hboot 2.10 and follow the instructions in that rooting thread. It seems you're already rooted so just flashing the recovery is probably all you will need.
I haven't used unrevoked, and I know there are several versions. But I have seen others who have used unrevoked and couldn't flash anything bc evidently the method they used to root didn't install the flash_image file on their phone.
I know that installing flash_image fixed being able to flash for some people who rooted with unrevoked.
This issue came up and I was able to help some people, if you check near the end of fastRX8 thread. But I was only able help point the right direction, they figured out the rest of the way. The OP there has the flash_image file and tells you what terminal commands to install it.
I don't know how for you to check if you gave it or not, as I can see mine on sd card cuz I put it there when I rooted.
Beyond this suggestion, lithid can probably help much better than I.
But def post your hardware version, root method, and hboot version (you see that when you go into bootloader and read the top line.

you should flash the pc36img.zip located at the bottom of zikronix's root thread. good luck. just put it on the root of ur sdcard named as pc36img.zip and boot into bootloader. accept the update, and say no to the reboot. then pick recovery, and flash a rom. you need to stay with this recovery if it works for you.

FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

OP flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader to load this new recovery, then you can go into your new recovery and flash a new rom.
i just rooted my evo with the unrevoked beta.hboot 2.02 it installed clockwork and through that i switchted to the aman ra after that i did a nand backup, powered off my phone and when i turned it back on it was stuck in the bootloader loop. the only thing that eventually worked was installing the sprintlovers pc36img. that got my phone working again. just tried to nand backup again and the same thing happened. does this mean that i need to flash that broken recovery?

Were you restoring a backup or did you stuck on loop on a new rom flash?
i wasnt even trying to flash a rom yet. i was doing the very first nand backup so i could check some roms out. after the backup was complete it gave the option to power off so i did and when i turned my phone back on it was in the bootloader loop. so i went back to recovery, wiped everything, restored nand and i said it restored but when i rebooted it was back in the bootloader loop.so i just search around trying to get help but couldnt find much so i put sprintlovers since it boots up right when you turn your phone on. now it wouldnt even nand backup it said some error and was in the bootloader loop again so i just reinstalled sprintlovers, again
Try downloading an actual rom in zip format (not sprintlovers pc36img) and see if you can flash a new rom fresh. Make sure to wipe everything.
Try using Caulkings format all zip in recovery to wipe your caches.

Are you rooted? What recovery do you have? If you are rooted, you may need to reflash a recovery. I suggest amon RA v2.3....Download the PC36IMG.zip from http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
Afterwards, put it on the root of your SD card. Shutdown your device and re-enter the bootloader screen (press the down volume button while also pressing the power button). The bootloader will AUTOMATICALLY detect the PC36IMG.zip and prompt you to install. Follow the prompt to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery. The name & version of the recovery will be displayed at the bottom of the screen....Take care.
Oh, for future reference, post questions like this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
I almost didn't notice your question in this particular thread.

No need to apologize, my friend. We've all been there. Just follow my instructions to install a fresh recovery and you *should* be fine.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it is a recovery file. Boot animation screens and the like can also be name PC36IMG.zip. If you're certain that the file you have is indeed a recovery file, then, by all means, use the one you have, but if you're unsure, go with the one I linked and put the other one in a folder.
that pc36 file is what recovery i have not sure what its called
but everytime i go to the hboot screen it always scans something and says do you want to update and i always click no. this ONE time for some reason started annoying me so i clicked yes and now i can't go in recovery. smh

I understand. Either delete the PC36IMG.zip you have or move it inside a folder. then download the PC36IMG.zip from the link I provided and place it on the root of your SD card and then re-enter the bootloader screen and follow the prompts to install when prompted.
i think i might have lost my recovery.. not 100% sure though

If you'd like, but again, if you are unsure of what those files are, do not use them. The recovery I'm trying to get you to flash is the most recommended one...amon RA v2.3....a detailed description of the recovery menus can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/KKWrv amon RA's thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026

this happened to me a few times if your not rooted and the phone wont boot either you can take the battery out put it back in hold volume down and power then go to fast boot connect to your computer and flash one of the stock RUU's
Are you having problems booting into your homescreen or is the problem limited to the recovery? I suppose I should have asked this question earlier.

If you followed my instructions and are now in recovery, then yes, that's it. I mean, unless you're getting ready to flash a new rom, kernel, theme, mod of some sort, you can simply select "reboot" and your phone will reboot and then load into your homescreen.

You are definitely in recovery if you're able to wipe the cache, dalvik & data. Keep in mind that since you are wiping your "data", you will have to re-enter your data when you enter your homescreen. Most people do not wipe their data unless they want to start over or something. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to be of assistance to you. Take care and have a great night....

Flashed new HBOOT, now says S-ON?!

I was on one of the older Hboots, decided to update that and the radio. I flashed the new Hboot, now it says S-On and it DOES NOT reboot. Everytime I try rebooting, it shows the splash screen and goes right back to the Hboot menu! Can anyone help me?
Try running unrevoked forever from the recovery and it may let you unlock it. If not you may be stuck.
Ok, I got S-off back by unrevoked-forever, but it still doesn't reboot. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've attached adb in case you don't already have it, extract it and cd to where you extracted it to. Then just connect your Evo and run..
Code:
adb reboot

Go into your recovery and wipe everything then reflash your Rom. If you can't access your recovery flash a recovery image of your choice via bootloader by renaming it PC36IMG and placing it on the root of your SD card then wipe everything and reflash your Rom.

Yeah, I think I had .93 Hboot, maybe should have just stayed with that, I dunno.
if it's bouncing you back to hboot it could be for the same reason it bounces you back to recovery after using a format_all.zip file.
Go find Sprint Lover's 2.3. It comes in a PC36IMG file you can put in the root of your sd card and flash in the bootloader (aka parsing the update).
It's rooted so you'll keep s-off and your phone should boot. Also, once you're booted, download rom manager and put your recovery back
Hope this helps!
