I flashed a file that was suppose to update my ra recovery and give me the eng hboot. Afterwards it would only boot to hboot. Nand restores would say they were successful but I would still have the same problem. Someone suggested flashing a rom, so I flashed fresh. It started loading, but bootloops on the splash screen. I rebooted into recovery and try to reboot the phone but it just goes to hboot. Please help!
Same thing happened to me after flashing that for unrevoked forever. Would just go into that screen. I had to do a clean cache/factory resent, dalvik and all from RA recovery and flashed a new ROM and that fixed it. In my case, I flashed AvaFroyo6 and CM6 Final as well, both worked, didn't try it with Fresh.
Thanks for replying! I will try that!
This has happened to several of us trying to do the ENG HBoot update. Not sure why some are fine with it, and others of us get stuck in hboot.
Did you go through the Amon_Ra path on the second part of the 2.2 root, or clockwork?
I did amon_ra. Wondering if there is a coincidence.
Amon Ra. I just flashed cm6 and that worked. I am not sure what to do now. Update recovery? Nand Restore? Step 2 of the root process?
ENG HBoot for the Desire???
I've not heard of such a beast, so I'm guessing this is an EVO thread that's been moved here by some overzealous mod?

So I'm basically trying to unroot, reroot my phone to try and fix 4G issues, (my WIMAX partition and key are alive and kicking), and have ran into a few issues.
After I was back to stock and up to date with everything, I ran Unrevoked 3.21, installed Amon RA recovery, and did a nandroid backup of my stock ROM. Everything was great until I decided to wipe, and flash a ROM. No matter what I do, I cannot get out of the bootloader! It keeps starting up everytime the phone is reset, and immediately going into fastboot.
I've flashed numerous PC36IMG.zip's to try and fix this, and I'm at a lost. Where do I go from here?
I have managed to flash a PC36IMG to get me back up and running, but after rerooting, I cannot seem to flash any ROM without instantly being thrown back into this bootloop!
HBOOT 0.79.0000
RADIO 2.05.00.06.10

I have Amon RA 1.80...
I managed to fix this somehow... Sitting on my butt all day on my only day off!!!
I believe I ended up flashing some PC36IMG file that was of the newest RUU. It put HBOOT 2.02 on my phone!!!
I managed to get it working properly, and found out how to get Amon RA recovery installed which is a complete PITA.
Oh well. 4G is now working in every ROM it's supposed to! SUCCESS!
Mine did that when I downgraded my hBoot back to .76, I was able to bring it back with everything how I left it by just flashing a kernel.
I'm guessing the hboot and boot images are tied together somehow so that the latter needs redone if the hboot changes.
can you tell me which PC36IMG you used?
Thanks

I don't know enough about the HBOOT, or bootloader. I'm still used to having just Amon RA on my old Hero's. Definately more stuff to learn, and now that I'm on HBOOT 2.02, it just means more things I'll have to understand if I decide to unroot/root in the future.

I FOUND IT! I was looking for that all morning. That is the zip that fixed my problems. Only thing, is that I flashed it with s-off, and no recovery. So after that, I was on HBOOT 2.02, with no recovery. So I spent about three hours figuring out how to properly install Amon RA.
ok i have a MAJOR problem. im kind of a noob at this stuff so im still learning. i was messing in my system files trying different phone.apk. i think i may have deleted something essential. when i turn my phone on it doesnt get past the boot animation. my phone was rooted with unrevoked 3. but everytime i try to install a new rom using clock work recovery, it gets to the part where it "opens update pakage" and just stops and goes back to the first menu screen of clockwork. i dont have a nandroid backup either so i cant even restore.
Did you wipe everything before flashing?
Which rom did you try flashing?
yes i wiped everything. i tried multiple roms like cm 6, and stock. none worked. also. everytime i try to load up the pc36img.zip nothing happens it says "no image or wrong image"
You should try using Amon_RA instead. Just flash it using ROM Manager. Good Luck.
is it possible for me to change to amon? im not able to get past my boot screen on my phone, so if it requires me to turn my phone completely to use it, then i cant. i dont really know much about amon.
Search for the Amon_RA thread. If you downgraded your HBOOT, you can flash from Fastboot. If not, you can try an RUU.

. I'm using ROM Manager with ClockworkMod, and every attempt leads to the screen flashing code for a few moments, and going right into the ClockworkMod Recovery main menu. it wont let me flash ANYTHING period. I have HBOOT-0.97. i dont know what can be the problem. and Amon RA is too complicated for me to understand right now cuz im still a noob. :-(
I made a nandroid backup, went into recovery mode, and flashed the new Combo (radio, wimax, pri, nv). It said "reboot from menu to complete installation" so I did. It said "writing image" and seemed to be going fine, but then instead of rebooting into android, it went back to recovery and said "formatting cache..."
But it never finished, it just sat at formatting cache for ages. Eventually I just rebooted on my own, but now it just freezes at the splash screen and I have to do a battery pull. I tried: restoring my nandroid, wiping cache, everything I could think of, but I can't boot into Android no matter what :'(
Can someone please point me in the right direction???
Can you still get into recovery? If so try flashing a new PC36img.zip
yeah i can get into recovery. what does that zip file do?

Itll reflash everything. You will lose everything but at least it should get you back up. What hboot do you have? Remember which version software u were running?
After flashing it, even though i lose everything, i will be able to restore a nandroid backup right?
And can you point me towards the proper zip file?

Ya it should get your radios and recovery in order and then you can recover your nandroid. Theres so many version softwares out right now that it depends on alot of things. Which hboot are you running? Evo hardware ?
when i boot into recovery it says:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.97.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
does that tell you what you need?
ur issue is the same i had last week.
you cannot update the radio, pri, nv or wimax of a rom that doesn't support it. resulting in the situation ur in now. what u must do is boot into the recovery, and flash all the old components u had before.
i had this issue when i flashed a new 3.70 rom that also updated everything else. the new rom ran fine, but when i attempted to "roll back" and nandroid my older rom, it resulted in boot loops or stalling at splash screen.
once i reflashed all the old components my older rom booted fine.
and when it says formatting cache, its actually done, but doesn't say it. hit restart device in the recovery and let it boot.
so go to the radio archive thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
and d/l and flash older each component, (wimax, pri, nv, radio) then nandroid ur latest back up.
dont update ur hbOOT, ITS UNNECCESSARY.
ull be fine.

Ya give that a shot, everything I find are stock PC36img.zip that will put you back to stock but probably unroot you.
so if i flash the newest radios and everything, and then flash a rom that i know requires those radios, it should start up fine as well, correct?
Any luck?

Need more info like what recovery you used, new or old phone, your rom, kernel etc..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i have aman ra recovery. just got the phone three days ago and rooted it the next day with the unrevoked beta with no problems. i hadnt done any thing else to it, was doing a backup to check out some custom roms. its software 3.70.651.1 2.02 hboot.
this just happened with me.
running RA, Myn's RLS4, netarchy 4.3, hboot .97
tried flashing a fresh copy of RA...but its not working, either, now. it gets stuck on the white screen when trying to boot into recovery from hboot.
i ended up flashing sprintlovers and that worked for me. id still like to know what went wrong though. glad i had just got the phone so i didnt lose too much stuff. had to put all my contacts back on and reinstall a couple of apps
I had the same problem on my phone, but I didn't do unrevok, I did a full wipe which basically gave me a rooted PC36img, and when I reboot in AmonRA recovery I can reflash that PC36IMG automatically and send me back to stock, then you basically have to reroot, wipe data and reflash the rom..
I'm rooted, unrevoked; I'm currently stuck in a boot loop. I can not reach recovery. I can not get to my rom. I can only access bootloader.
So far I have taken these steps to cure my problem:
Ran RUU software in Windows (with and without sd card in evo)
Flashed RUU as PC36IMG in bootloader
Cleared Storage using fastboot in command prompt
Cleared Recovery and then Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork using fastboot in command prompt
Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed Sprint Lover's as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed eng-PC36IMG from Toastctfh's Old Root Tutorial as PC36IMG in hboot
Each of these methods flashed successfully as far as I can tell... yet I still go into an infinite boot loop.
Before the bootloop this is what I was doing:
I had the initial CM7 nightly installed for about 2 weeks. It was buggy, and a few days ago restarted and deleted all my texts, and desynced from google. On rebooting, google apps acted as if I had never ran the phone before - it asked me to enter google account info, etc, upon reboot.
I decided CM7 was too unstable and so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed CM6. When CM6 booted google apps was already on, before I had even flashed it! Anyways I figured I wanted to give MIUI a run, so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed MIUI. It ran fine for about two hours, and then rebooted out of nowhere... and never came out of the boot loop.
I'm really starting to sweat this as I have gone three days now without a phone. Does anyone have any ideas that may help me? Thanks.
hmm, you could flash recovery through bootloader i think

Nope, I can't reach recovery
idk what to say hopefully a expert drops by im sorry that i cant help
Maybe bootloops from having an older radio. Gb roms need the latest radios. You can get a flashable zip in caulkins thread
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

I had same problem, the radios messed my phone and was stuck in a boot loop and mess with my usb drivers as well so I couldnt charge my phone...i had to buy spare battery charger and flash different radio and rom through hboot
I'm pretty sure Sprint Lover's and RUU have the latest radios in them
You shouldnt be bricked and if you flashed an RUU, you wont have root anymore, nor will you have a recovery img. I would suggest running the RUU again. As long as it finishes without errors, you should be fine. Now, just a quick question, what are you seeing that makes you think you are in a bootloop??
Are you sure RUU removes root? I've RUU'd through my computer, as well as flashing an RUU zip as PC36IMG, and I still have S-OFF. If it would turn it to S-ON, that would be amazing.
your ruu file could be bad as well .. it happened to me once and had to redownload...for some reason it wasnt as big as it should of been
