[Q] A whole mess of questions - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First, when I load into recovery and it goes to the HTC screen where it shows HBOOT, FASTBOOT, etc., it says SD Checking... LOADING...PC36DIAG.ZIP...No IMAGE!, or something similar to that. Is this normal? What do I do to change this?
Second, whenever I load a zip from recovery my Evo trips out and just continues to restart from the Sprint screens. Wtf? I have to load a recovery file every time.
Third, I just tried to wipe all data, including the Davlic from Amon_Ra recovery, and it is now just doing the same thing: restarting at the Sprint screen over and over again. When I was in ROM manager I flashed to Amon and now I can't load the recovery file that I created through ROM manager. I guess that doesn't create a nandroid backup? My phone is now on a continuous loop of restarting at the Sprint screens. What do I do?

From the bootloader screen can you all get into recovery

Yes I can.

WOW. I loaded a PC36IMG onto my phone and loaded it...now I am back to 1.1. I just did the OTA update to get into 2.2. I feel like an idiot right now.

I just bricked my phone :(

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I just updated my phone to the latest OTA Rooted ROM and everything was working fine. Then I used Rom Manager to download the latest Fresh 3.0.?? ROM. When it downloaded it asked if I wanted to backup ROM and wipe data. I checked both on. Then phone rebooted and it wont get past white HTC Evo4G screen. I did vol down and power and I go to Recovey and again it freezes on this screen. I cant access my sd card to put any recovery stuff on the phone. How do I get past this?? This sucks

I had the same issue this morning loading the new Fresh Rom. "Stuck at White HTC EVO" screen. Just do a battery pull to restart your phone and let it boot up normally. It should be able to load after that.
Thanks a lot fuzion. I could have sworn I tried that last night but I guess I didn't. So I guess no Fresh ROM ?? Anyway to get it on ?
You could try loading one of the PC36IMG zips on your sd using an adapter to go back to stock and start over
Well I got my phone back on and working with the 2.2 OTA rooted back the way it was. I go into ROM manager and I made sure to do the ClockworkMod Recovery install. When I turn on the phone with vol down + power I select Recovery it just freezes on the Evo 4g screen. Never takes me to the recovery menu like I used to have. Anyone have any idea why??
Let's do a checklist:
1. Full root including NAND unlock (i.e. NOT Unrevoked)?
2. Installed and re-installed latest ROM Manager, and then latest CWM?
3. Copied Fresh 3.1.0.1 to root of SD card?
4. Booted into recovery using either CWM option or power+volume up?
5. You don't have an old PC36IMG.zip on your SD card, do you?
6. If you can get into recovery, do all your flashing from there, and DON'T FORGET to do data, cache, and dalvik wipes.
7. If all else fails, maybe use CWM to flash Amon RA instead and try that way.
8. If all THAT fails, go back to toast's guides and re-root everything.
Other long shots: Install Titanium Backup and use that to install BusyBox. I have no idea if this would help, maybe it's totally unrelated. Also, you could use an app called Quick Boot to reboot into recovery, but if selecting the reboot option from CWM doesn't work, I don't know why QB would.
And one more thing: Don't be throwing the term "bricked" around when you're clearly not even close to bricked.

[Q] Bricked? (Boot stops after a couple of seconds)

I got a little problem here
I was playing Angry Birds today when everything just froze.. touching would do nothing.. side buttons/power button wouldn't do anything.. not even haptic feedback on the touch buttons or whatever.. This had happened to me before, and the phone would restart itself, blabla, everything would be cool again.
Not this time!!
I turn my phone on but the boot (HTC) screen will stay on for a few minutes.. then goes black, and then vibrates and starts again.
At first I thought this was a problem with my ROM (CM7 Stable), so I tried going to the bootloader menu. It came up, but was unresponsive. I try and try again but only some times will it actually be functional, and even then, when I try to go into recovery, the boot screen stays stuck.
How ****ed am I?

Not much at all. If you can get to the white screen and to the boot loader, it can be fixed. Do you still have your recovery installed? Try holding the volume button down while booting and see if it goes into recovery. If so, you can restore the NAND back up you are supposed to have done. If it goes into a black screen with a red triangle, your recovery is gone and you have to reflash it via the boot loader by getting a flashable zip file on your SD card and naming it "PC36IMG.zip". (Make sure you do not add ".zip" to the end of the file name, or it will be named "PC36IMG.zip.zip" and will not be recognized by the boot loader.)
Amon RA recovery zip file can be downloaded here ready to go: http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
If you do not have a NAND back up, just try wiping the cache and dalvik cache and try booting again. If that doesn't work, you may need to reflash your rom as if it was a new install and start over.
Worse case scenario, run the latest RUU and start over from stock.
Edit: If you did create a NAND that you want to restore, and you created it with Clockwork recovery, you will need to flash that recovery and not the one I linked to you in order to restore it.
If you're able to flash amon RA via the bootloader, I suggest you then download and reflash the hboot from within recovery. You can download it from the link below.

I can't flash the HBOOT, it says to reflash the kernel afterward but I'm on CM and don't have the flashable kernel on my sd card
Plus, after a little bit of being inside recovery, the phone blacks out and tries to boot. Something tells me it's some freak hardware issue...

[Q] Bricked?

My friend has an Incredible that I rooted with unrevoked and got s-off. It was acting up and rebooting and I was going to go up to his house and fix it but it freaked out before I could get there. It will not turn on or even boot into android at all. It boots up with the HTC Incredible screen and then shuts off and does this over and over again. I put it into recovery or hboot I am not quite sure what you call it (hold power and vol. down) and from there I try to wipe but it will just go back into the boot loop sequence again, if I try to get into recovery, it will do the same thing. What can I do to help him out? He is phoneless right now and we really need to get this fixed. It is s-off and I want to at least try and get it to s-on so I can load the stock ruu on to it, but how am I supposed to do that if I can boot into it and I can't get into clockwork. I tried renaming CWR to the PB3IMG and booting into hboot, but I can't install. Please help. Any suggestions? Thank you for the help.
you say you CAN get to clockwork? if so, can you try to install a rom from your sd card, don't wipe again, just try to install and see what happens? or is it not letting you do even that?
Sorry I cannot get into clockwork. I tried installing CWR through hboot, but was unsuccessful won't even get me to the screen to install. AUtomatically reboots and just goes from the white htc screen to black over and over again.
Anyone have any ideas.. Maybe just to get a-on.
You are not fixing the problem by wiping the phone. The boot loop is caused by a bad install of a ROM and only restoring a clean backup or running the pb31img file froom hboot will fix it.
Did you make a backup before all this happened? If you did then from hboot you should be able to get into recovery and restore the bacukp. In hboot recovery is the second menu option, select it by scrolling down the pressing the power button to start it. Then from recovery select backup/restore and then select restore and it should show you a list of your backups.
If you didn't make a backup then you need to put a copy of the PB31IMG file on the sdcard and then boot into hboot and it should automatically run the update. This will also unroot the phone so you will have to root it with unrevoked again. You also have to have teh correct PB31IMG file for the phone, amoled or slcd as they are not interchanageable and flashing the wrong one will lead to more harder to fix problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Above is a link on how to get back to stock, how to falsh the PB31IMG file from hboot is Part 2. I copied the relevant parts of it below assuming that you have s-off.
1. Make sure you're rooted with clockworkmod recovery.
2. Download the RUU for your phone, either amoled or slcd (don't have a link).
3. Push PB31IMG-3.21.605.1_RUU.zip to your SDCard, renaming it to "PB31IMG.zip" (no quotes)(delete any other PB31IMG.zip you might have on there before pushing).
4. Boot into HBOOT, and it should recognize the PB31IMG.zip. Start the update and go get a drink (it might reboot once or twice, don't worry about it).
5. When that's done, reboot and you're at 2.2 stock!
Try installing cwm twice, its the only way it works for me. As far I can tell your friends phone is fine. Try flashing cwm twice.as I.said b4. Then post.back see if.that works then we will.go.from there

Thanks guys I will try this and post results. Thanks again.
I am having a somewhat simular problem.
I am unable to flash any other ROM. I can do a backup and restore that backup. But when I boot into recovery, wipe everything, then flash a new ROM, I reboot and my phone just sits on the white screen with HTC Incredible in black letters. I have left the phone like this for more than 30 minutes several times and nothing happens. Phone is not warm/hot after being on this long so I am not sure if it is doing anything at all.
I hate to think I am not able to flash any more ROMs.
I have done a search for my issue and this thread is the closest thing I have found.
Any ideas or help?
Thanks.

Maybe its just the rom? try downloading another making sure the download is fully complete. Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik and Format System for good measure and try again.

Make sure that the kernel the rom your trying to load has is compatible with your phone. I know some will say that kernels dont matter so much, but there are certain kernels that simply dispise my phone. Try going into recovery and flashing a different kernel.
I am in a somewhat similar boat. I cannot get into Recovery. If I power up the phone normally, it does the boot looping. If I go into hboot, I can get it to go through the motions of flashing recovery, and although it appears to be successful, if I try to go into recovery, it basically boot loops, except for one version which puts a few black lines on the screen and THEN boots. So what is my best option, seeing as I cannot get into CWM?

Thanks, I had never done Format System before. Not sure if that is the reason it worked or the new ROM, but I was able to flash the ROM I wanted.

I am thinking that you might have to flash a copy of the recovery image file to get recovery to work again. I'm not sure where you get a copy, used to be at Koush's website. You would then rename it PB31IMG.zip and let hboot flash it. I've only had to reinstall recovery once before myself and that was on a Eris and used hboot through ADB on my pc so not sure if I told yout eh corect way to do it. Sure others will chime in to help.

I've tried dozens of times with several different recovery images - no go. It goes through the motions of installing the image, but nothing changes. It still won't go into recovery, but just starts boot-looping.
A couple of things to note...
With one of the recoveries flashed, I see Build and some other stuff at the bottom of the screen very briefly before it reboots again.
With 2.5.0.5, I see what looks like the messed up screen that you get when you have SLCD and load an incompatible recovery... but then it reboots quickly.

I would think your only option left is to try and unroot the phone by flashing the RUU, method is in the ROM development section somewhere about getting back to stock 2.2. Then re-root your phone with unrevoked.

The main issue with that is the fact that the first step, setting S-on, involves using recovery.
Has anyone used the engineering hboot? I have SLCD, so I can't see what comes up on the screen. If I can find out exactly where it starts and how to get to fastboot in it, I can at least run fastboot commands from my PC and see what's up.
Ok, I loaded the engineering hboot and can run fastboot commands. I was able to flash backup images of system, userdata, recovery.. but nothing changes as far as trying to boot up. I reloaded the .92 hboot so I could see the screen, and I'm right back where I started. I'm hoping now that I can at least run fastboot commands that I can somehow recover, or at least get it to a state where I can return it.

[Q] Stuck On White HTC Start Screen -Resolved-

Hello! I successfully flashed Synergy RLS1 on my HTC Evo and it was working after that. I flashed some updates that I wasn't happy with so I decided to re-flash the Synergy RLS1 update. It flashed successfully but I was stuck on the HTC Evo 4G white starting screen for quite a while. (30 minutes)
I battery pulled, restarted and went into recovery. I did a Clear Storage and after 10 minutes it was still on the HTC Evo 4G white start screen so I decided to battery pull.
I tried again this time going into the bootloader menu and doing a reboot. It was stuck at the white screen for 10 minutes again so I just did another battery pull.
One last time, I tried starting up the phone normally but was stuck in the screen for about 20 minutes so just battery pulled.
Is there still a way to fix my phone or is it bricked?
EDIT: I am currently in the -black- recovery screen and flashing the rom again. How do I flash from a nandroid backup that I made?
EDIT: Thanks! I was able to get the phone started up! I probably would have ended up making bull**** excuses to sprint (for being rooted) if it weren't for the people on XDA-Developers.

How do I flash from recovery? I thought ROMS could only be flashed from an application such as ROM manager. Please excuse my noobness, I don't know much about this. Oh, by the way, I'm talking about the white recovery screen. Not the black root one.
If it helps to know, when going into the white recovery, I get a message saying that there is no image file or something (I forget) and then it lets me navigate.
EDIT: Oh, I got to the recovery screen, I am trying to flash a new rom and see if it will help. How do I flash from previous ROM Manager backups?
vol down to recovery and click the power button to boot into recovery and then put it into usb-ms mode and put synergy on the rootof your sdcard and then get it out of usb mode and volume down to wipe.. clear your user data / cache / and dalvik and then go back to flash and then flash rls1 from there and reboot and cross your fingers

[Q] Rooted Incredible w/ Cyanogenmod 7, stuck in boot loop, can't boot to recovery

hello all, my first post.
I have incredible, rooted, with cyanogenmod 7. it has been working as normal for months and months. the other day, it just got stuck in the boot animation. i hadn't changed anything, system tweaks, etc, right before this.
i hold volume down and press power, and it goes to bootloader mode. normally here, i can select RECOVERY, and then goes to the black screen, where i could do many things, drastic as wipe the phone, reinstall cyanogenmod, g-apps, etc.
whats my problem now, is that when i hold power down and power and get to the white recovery screen, if i select RECOVERY, it doesnt go where it used to. it goes to the OTHER white screen where choices are, REBOOT, POWER DOWN, etc. So i select to go into recovery mode (the black screen) but it never goes there now. Always did before. Just goes to that next white screen, letting me reboot and start the cycle over again. I've tried with no SC card, no difference.
I found a post someone giving specific directions to format sd card, put radio update only on card, and boot with that in phone. I did, and it successfully said it updated, but still nothing has changed.
I cant get into recovery mode, to reformat, wipe, run any updates, nothing. I've tried so many times i can't even guess. I think it has become a brick. But I finally posted here hoping i may find some advice.
Anyone have any ideas of what i can do, if i can get into recovery mode?
if this helps, this all the info on the white screen - holding power down and powering on:
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICORP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.0000

S-off is security off. It allows you to flash images not signed by HTC. At the top of the hboot screen it should say either s-on or s-off. If it let tou flash cwm recovery you are s-off.
Yes enter recovery, wipe everything in mounts and storage and either flash a stock ruu thru hboot, or flash a rom of your choosing. Do not choose aply update.zip choose install from sdcard, and select your roms zip file.
I would also flash a new radio thru hboot, as i have never seen that version of radio for the incredible. http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios.

ok, so here's where I'm at now:
updated radio via hboot via last link posted. i can now get to recovery screen, which is awesome, but - i can select any of the options and select one, and then it goes to a black screen with the ROM manager hat logo, with a yellow arrow under it. The arrow does not move or rotate, as if it was processing my command. it just sits idle on that logo forever.
i can hit power to go back to the recovery menu, and selecting nothing, well, does anything!
any ideas? just far your replies have gotten me past the loop i was in, so i eagerly hope there's more input for me now as to why none of the options in recovery screen process when i select them, they just go to a logo with the hat and an arrow (remember, the arrow isn't moving at all).
btw its ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0
thanks again,

p.s. - my updated radio is 2.05.00.06.11 now, if that is important.

Do not use the power button to select items in recovery. Use the vol keys to navigate, the trackball to select, and the power button goes back.

Can you enter recovery? If so wipe everything in mounts and storrage except emmc and sdcard, and then restore a known good backup or flash a rom fresh. If that dosent work i would do an ruu.
Can he do a ruu from Fastboot or hboot or cwmi thought he had to be able fully boot to use ruu.

He can do a PB31IMG.zip ruu through hboot. To do the ruu.exe with a pc you need to be able to boot to enable usb debuging i think.
i was able to do all the listed in this thread. but after 2 days of searching i still can't find a good solution for formatting /data, I get an error everytime and cm7 is the only rom that I can boot on my dinc. however when i think i have fresh flash, some of my old apps are still there.
if i ruu i get stuck on the red eye screen and the phone reboots.
I'm at a loss

i am root with s-off
cwm 5.0.2.0
Never pull the battery. Always use as last resort....
