Copy your favorite ROM zip file to the root of the SD card; reboot your phone into recovery - either by holding VOL DOWN and selecting recovery from the HBOOT menu, or using the "adb reboot recovery" command. Once you are in recovery, select "Flash zip from SD card" option (this may vary depending on which recovery image you are using) and scroll to the zip file. Power button is used as ENTER. Good luck.

Sweet! Thanks guys! I will do this and let you know how it goes. I will be using Fresh Evo 3.4.0.1. Btw, do I need to backup anything else besides contacts which are already in my gmail account? I don't mind losing my apps because I can just reinstall the ones I actually use.

I would recommend doing a Nand backup first in Recovery.
Then after your Nand backup is done, you'll want to wipe Data/Factory Reset, Cache and Dalvik-Cache in Recovery as well then you can proceed to 'Flash ZIP from SD card'.
I never backup anything other than what my gmail saves.
EDIT: Also, your Radio and PRI are out of date. I would recommend only flashing the new Radio/PRI with Amon Ra recovery. Be very careful when flashing this. This is one true way to brick your phone(small chance but still).
I think you are supposed to flash the new Fresh 3.4.0.1 when it is done reboot the phone. Go through the whole setup process with gmail then reboot back into Recovery and flash the Radio/PRI. You might want to wait for confirmation before flashing the Radio/PRI from someone else.
Here is the link for the new ones -- http://geekfor.me/evo/radio/baseband-215000901/ (There is also a guide on there too)
EDIT2: If you don't have any problems with your phone then you can skip it if you want and wait for the next ones to come.

Okay, just to make sure, so that I dont mess this up:
Nand Backup in Recovery
wipe Data/Factory Reset
Cache and Dalvik-Cache in Recovery
Flash ZIP from SD card
I think I'll wait on flashing the radio and PRI since that part seems kind of risky for a newbie like me right now.
Thanks!

Just to confirm as well when wiping the data/factory reset...that is in Recovery...as well as Cache and Dalvik.
The two separate lines kind of threw me off, I just want to make sure you didn't think from within the phone to wipe data/factory reset.
Yeah, if you don't seem to have a problem with anything, I would hold off on flashing the Radio/PRI.
EDIT: So, pretty much...
*Do Nand backup
*Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik-cache in Recovery
*Flash ZIP from SD card*
*Get everything setup and then make a Nand backup of Fresh 3.4.0.1
*Enjoy
Oops, yeah you meant in Recovery mode for the 2nd item right?
Unfortunately I cannot get my phone into recovery mode no matter what I do (ROM Manager or reboot with volume up + power.). My phone just sits there on the white EVO screen.
I'm thinking that the update messed up my root somehow. I can still use Wifitether just fine. I just had to find a different version. Maybe I should try the Unrevoked method again?
Okay, I got it to work. All I did was run UnRevoked again and I was able to get into recovery mode again and do what I needed to do.
Thanks eveyone!
I might be doing it wrong...I'm not an expert with this particular device, but I have managed to root and install custom Roms on an Augen Gentouch, a Nook Color, and a Samsung Moment before I got my G2.
I love the G2, and it took me a while to get up to speed on the lingo for this particular device...but I'm sorta getting it.
Last night I went to work in earnest to root and flash my phone with a custom ROM. Once I found the gfree tutorial and learned what s-off was and all that good stuff, I finally managed to achieve permaroot. Cool.
So I grab Clockwork Rom Manager, which I hear can really make my life easy...unfortunately I had no luck flashing any custom ROMs from there at all. I downloaded each one from the app, rebooted into recovery (yes, it was the most current version), and tried to flash a CM7 nightly. Ended up in an endless boot animation loop.
So I decide maybe I'm pushing my luck w/ Gingerbread as a first custom ROM...so I go in and try the CM6.1 ROM I also had in the downloads folder for Rom Manager. Different logo, another loop. Thinking I'd semi-bricked my device, I start diving in some more. Hey cool...I can use HBoot to flash a stock image back. I do so, and I have a blank, working device. Ok, back to square one.
So yeah...re-root with a clean phone, install Rom Manager, download and flash CM6 and again with the boot loops. :-/
So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. Am I supposed to have to navigate to the .zip file when flashing? I mean, when I got to recovery and it didn't start flashing, I assumed I needed to choose and load the ROM of my choice from the clockworkmod/downloads/ folder, but maybe I'm doing it wrong? In any case, I'd love to be able to run one of these snazzy custom ROMs, but for now I'm just gonna have to be happy with permaroot and the Bacon Bits .zip and the kernel that comes with that. Overclocking is nice...I'm eager to try Gingerbread though.
Any thoughts?
I was tring to follow what you have done but got a little confused , do you have a custom recovery flashed? ie. CWM recovery 2.5.1.3. If yes, are you wiping /data and /cache before flashing the custom rom in recovery?
How to flash the rom manually:
Install custom Rom to the root of sd card (and gapps.zip for CM roms)
Boot into recovery
Make a back up of your current rom
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
go into Advance setting
wipe dalvik cache
return to main menu in recovery
select " install zip from sd card"
select "choose zip from sdcard"
select the rom you want to flash from sdcard
and flash it
if flashing CM Rom you also must flash the gapps .zip
go back to choose zip from sdcard
select "gapps.zip"
flash it
go back to main menu in recovery
select "rebooot system now"
Should boot into the custom Rom you flashed.
If you want to flash Gingerbread roms you need to flash CWM recovery 3.0.0.5, do not mistake this with Rom Manager v3.0.0.7.
Yah u probibly used clockwork 2.1.5 for gingerbread/cm7 Clockwork 3 is stricktly for ginger
Sent from my Toaster
Ah, ok...that makes more sense (all the stuff that needs to be cleared first, etc...). As far as recovery, it looks like I have 3.0.0.0. how do I get 3.0.0.5? I had to do a little hack mentioned in another thread to get 3.0.0.0 on there...do I need to find and rename the .zip for CWR and have ROM Manager flash it? Or is there an official way to do it?
I think you have to flash CWM3.0.0.5 with fastboot.
read the first post in this CM7 thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916796
Thanks for the help guys! I started fresh, flashed back to stock, rooted with gfree, and installed CM6.1.1. I am an absolute convert. Cyanogen is utterly brilliant!
I've since installed a custom kernel, OC'd to 1.4Ghz (scaling on demand), flashed Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5, eng hboot, and a new radio. I think I've got my head wrapped around this phone now...and I LOVE IT! I'm really tempted to try CM7, but I'm coming off a phone with some real issues (Samsung Moment), and I'm trying to relax and enjoy a stable build for now...but yeah...holy crap is CM awesome! Thanks for the help...XDA is really a great community!
I've had this phone for a about a month, and decided to get adventurous - should have left it alone.
I ran unrevoked the day I got the phone and decided to try cyanogem - it didn't work, got stuck on splash screen so I recovered my stock backup. I read in the developers forums about needing flash a new bootloader and use amon-ra instead of clockwork to load cyanogem.... I got the PC36IMG from the forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764062&page=2
I've been stuck in boot loop since then.
I have followed all of the suggestions for those stuck in bootloop in the thread, (including both versions of the PC36IMG and no luck...
I went as far as running unrevoked forever again, in the hopes that it would put it back to the way it was before I flashed the file from the post.
I can get into recovery, and the hboot version is 2.02
none of my backups will install ( error 7), and the cyanogem 7 nightly will not load.
I am 350 miles away from home for the next two weeks and can't call home
to recap
1) unrevoked forever - ok
2) tried to flash cyanogem7 - got stuck in bootloop
3) flashed clockwork - ok
4) recovered backup - ok
5) flashed PC36IMG from above thread - stuck in bootloop wont load rom
6) flashed alternative PC36IMG from above thread - stuck in bootloop wont load rom
7) flashed clockwork again - ok
8) tried to restore backup - error 7
9) flashed mtd-eng.zip (from xda) - hboot .76 - hboot version on phone did not change
10) flashed mtd-eng.zip (from xda) - hboot .76.200 - hboot version on phone did not change
11) unrevoked forever - completed but still stuck in bootloop/recovery
10)
7) flashed clockwork again - ok
I really don't know where to go from here, and everything I try from the xda forums doesnt work. Any help with this will be deeply appreciated..

It is always a good idea to backup your rom, and espciallu your wimax. And using the format all won't kill your 4G keys.
wimaxx?
Again noob here... srry...
I assume backing up my roms would just be copying them from the sd card, but the wimax is something I haven't run across yet. How do you back that up?

Well you backup the rom that way, but when someone says "backup your rom" they mean you boot into recovery and select back, and it backups your system image, and you can restore it if something goes wrong.
clockwork recovery- selct backup/restore, select backup, and you're done
amon_ra- select backup/restore, select which items you want
Wimax is the official name for 4G, so if you hear wimax, they mean 4G. Clockwork backs up wimax automatically, and it can be extracted from the zip and copied if on a computer. On amon_ra 2.3 you have to physically select wimax and back it up, otherwise it can be lost.
I think I got it
so ... move calkulins to sd card
install from zip
flash backup
trying now

Format all only touches the system data, like the cache, ect. But its always handy to backup the contents every so often. And sound good, I'll be around.
didn't work
error while flashing boot image
I also tried to install CM7, that didn't go either - status 7
Awkward. let me see if I find it. But you can just click:
format data, wipe cache, and under advanced [if on clockwork] wipe dalvik, and it does the same thing. I've never used the format all zip and been just fine.
I am using clockwork, will try dalvic method

Well apparently it doesn't like the file. What exactly are you trying to do now, flasha new rom?
just get A rom to work..
the phone won't boot, I can only get it into recovery.
I started out trying to get CM7, but now I just want it to work. lol
Well try flashing the latest CM7 nightly. And to use that [CM7] you are on the 3.0+ version of clockwork?
Okay, Please don't say, "USE THE SEARCH" because i have.. and i've read through countless and countless number's of pointless posts and i'm still really confused..
I am currently rooted and running stock rom with nerarchy's kernal
I want to update to the new gingerbread that was released, but i do not want to lose my root, i know the thread in the android development is just the regular OTA copy of the gingerbread update and that i will lose my root if i use that, but i'm sure by now someone has rooted the update, so can someone point me to the link of the new ROOTED gingerbread update?
Also i see there is a new radio and kernal .. so can someone give me complete instructions on how to fully install the new rooted update, and how to flash the radios/kernals after i flash the new gingerbread rom?
Do i just boot into my clockwork recovery (or do i need to use amron ra?) and then flash zip from sd and then flash the rooted gingerbread update like i would any other rom? Then after i flash that, just flash the radio the exact same way as i flashed the update? do i need to do a full wipe or just the delvik and regular cache? And also the kernal, do i need to flash that seperately or does that get included when i flash the .zip of the gingerbread stock rom?
I'm really confused as you can see, so if anyone could give me full step by step directions for finding, downloading and fully installing from start to finish everything that i need to download and flash and how to do it CORRECTLY i would be greatly appreciative..
Please note that i AM currently rooted and running a custom kernal, and i have previously flashed MIUI and MYN'S rom Before so i DO know how to flash things.
Thank you in advance to whoever finds the time to help me!
Basically just need pointed to all the correct Rooted downloads,
OK, the ROM, is simple. Download it, put it on your SD Card, reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash it, then let it reboot and you're good.
I use Amon Ra, so I'm not familiar with Clockwork, but I think the wipe process is not as complete with that recovery, so you MAY want to search for Calkukin's Wipe All.
The RADIOS, are not much different, and again I'm coming from Amon Ra, but in the Dev section, near the middle of the page ,look for the Calkukin's Thread for updated radios, wimax, PRI, etc and d/l the combo zip.
Put that on your SDCard, reboot to recovery, no need to wipe, and flash it.
I prefer to use a flashable zip file over a pc36img.zip for radios.
HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART!!!!
When it flashes, it will ask you to reboot pretty quickly, do that, and it will go to a black screen wit ha green circle/arrow and sit there for a few minutes.
Do not touch it. Do not pull the battery, do nothing.
Then it will reboot back to recovery. When you get the menu option to reboot your phone, after it formats cache, reboot, and it will take an few extra minutes to boot up, but then you're good.
Possibly clockwork mod may be slightly different, but in a nutshell, that's it.
You didn't post any links to where i can download the new ROOTED version of the OTA gingerbread update that came out on June 4th
I need a link to the ROOTED gingerbread stock ROM
and a link to the new Kernals and Radios..
and you're saying to just flash the updated rom like any other rom? full wipe then flash... and after i flash the rom, not to reboot, but to immediately flash the kernal and then the radio also ?
and after i flash the radio last, wait for it to finish and it will take me back to recovery after a few minutes, and then to reboot?

after you install the rom, select the option "reboot now." after that you will need to boot back into recovery mode and flash the kernel and reboot again. then go into hboot and flash your radios. make sure the radio zip is named PC36IMG so that your phone will auto detect the file and install it.

Okay so i do a full wipe, then flash the rom .. once the rom finishes the flash, i reboot and let the phone fully boot up into the rom (so that the phone is on and functional) after the phone is fully booted up and running normally i turn the phone back off and reboot into recovery.. I then flash the radio and wait a few minutes for it to finish and reboot again.. correct? did i miss anything here? because i'm going to follow what i just said verbatim, so if anythere there is wrong or missing a step please let me know..
Do i need to flash a kernal at any point? or just the rom and radio?
The rom has the kernel with it after you reboot after you flashed tge rom just flash the combo and you should be good to go. If you want to flash a new kernel make sure you have a compatible gingerbread one.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
You are correct on everything you posted.
Just remember the radios part is crucial you do not pull the battery.
When you flash it, it will tell you to use the menu to reboot. So reboot, and it will go to a black screen wit ha green circle with an arrow in it. This will sit there for a few minutes. Don't worry about how long, because this is the critical point. Just let it sit, then it will reboot and go back to recovery.
It will say formatting cache...
When the menu pops up that you can use to reboot the phone, do that. Reboot to system and it will take a little longer than normal to boot up, because your caches were formatted.
IF something goes wrong, and it won't but just in case, don't do anything before coming here and reporting what is happening.
I'm not trying to sound overly dramatic, but this is where people make mistakes.
I've flashed radios several times no problem, as have many of us.
Remember patience is key!
that's correct. your decision on the kernel and radio.

2.) Select option to flash zip from sd card
3.) flash the gingerbread-update-rom.zip
4.) After flash finishes reboot and fully run the rom
5.) reboot into recovery again
6.) select option to flash zip from sd card
7.) flash the radio.zip
8.)it takes a few minutes and takes u to a weird screen but just dont touch it and it will finish
9.) reboot
10.) Enjoy a ROOTED gingerbread stock rom ?
and I DO NOT need to flash a kernal at any point correct? it's just included in the ROM?

wow im really impressed theres no flaming here haha.. yeah that about it.. on a side note you really should make a backup before you do this....
You said "Wow i'm really suprised theres no flaming here"
Yet i dont understand why there would be flaming?
Why would someone talk **** and flame me because i'm trying to learn and be 100% completely sure of what i'm doing before i attempt to flash something to my very very expensive phone?
At least i'm taking steps to go above and beyond rather than just half-reading something and thinking i'm smarter than everyone else and bricking my phone for good.
If someone is seriously trying to learn and feel safe and secure in what they're doing why would someone flame them?
Just my opinion... The only time someone should be flamed is when they are given links to pages where they can find their answers and they just want someone to flat out walk them through it and hold their hand rather than search and find the answers themselves...
There's no flaming here because he wasn't asking the typical overly repeated questions.
And when it comes to flashing a new radio, knowing that bad things can happen, it's important that a first timer know everything involved. The steps, the issues that can occur, etc.

1.) Boot into recovery and do a FULL wipe
2.) Select option to flash zip from sd card
3.) flash the gingerbread-update-rom.zip
4.) After flash finishes reboot and fully run the rom
5.) reboot into recovery again
6.) select option to flash zip from sd card
7.) flash the radio.zip
8.)it takes a few minutes and takes u to a weird screen but just dont touch it and it will finish
9.) reboot
10.) Enjoy a ROOTED gingerbread stock rom ?
and I DO NOT need to flash a kernal at any point correct? it's just included in the ROM?

Are these the properly named files to use?
For gingerbread-update-rom.zip I would use: supersonic_4.22.651.2_deodexed_060511-signed-.zip
For radio.zip I would use EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_2.15_003
???
Here's the links to the files you want.

The Radios, flashable version in Recovery which I like better than the PC36IMG version:

I purchased my first Android phone used. It is an Sprint HTC EVO 4G. The phone was already rooted. I tried to unroot so I could apply new HTC software update. New at this and screwed the whole phone up. There is nothing left on the sd card. I somehow wiped everything from the phone as well apparently. The phone goes straight to bootloader everytime I power on. I can go into recovery and all that, but there is nothing there to flash or anything. Is it permanently ruined?
Your phone is not ruined, if you can get into recovery your good to go.
1. download new rom you want to try
2. push to sd card via usb-ms toggle option in recovery
3. wipe all on phone (cache, dalvik, data, etc.) in recovery
4. Flash zip of new rom in recovery
5. reboot phone, viola!
6. go back into revovery, goto backup option and do a nandroid
Happy flashing!!!
remember: if phone is rooted do not apply update through carrier. All update musts come thru xda

Correct, but only if your bootloader still reads S-OFF at the top. If so, you are good. If not, we need more information from your bootloader screen, such as your Hboot number and radio.
Where can I get a rom to download? Do I just place it on my sd card? I found a rom zip file downloaded it and flashed it from sd card. Everytime I still get a message saying install aborted.

Choose a different rom. What recovery do you have? You may need Amon Ra to flash certain zips. The stock rooted rom should be compatible with all recoveries. If you're trying to flash that, then redownload it and try again.
If you want to switch to Amon Ra, download the PC36IMG here and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader and the phone will find the file and ask you to update - select yes. When it finishes, select no when it asks you to reboot and select recovery. This is assuming that you're using ClockworkMod since you had installation issues, but there's no reason to flash it if you're already using it. If you're already using it and you flash it, it won't hurt anything.
This is assuming that you have s-off. If you have s-on but still have a recovery, you may be able to flash some things in recovery but you won't be able to flash a recovery through hboot. If you're s-on with recovery, you can either flash Unrevoked Forever through recovery (if your hboot/radio are compatible) or you can finish the unrooting process and reroot if you want to do so.

I have tried flashing PC36IMG prior and it says it applies the update, but then I'm right back where I started on next reboot. When I clicked your HERE link above it goes to a blank page. I currently show S-OFF in the bootloader.
Ok, so when you get to boot loader, click on recovery and which recovery do you have?
If I were you, I would go to the Dev section, look for the stock/rooted ROM and put that on your SD Card. Hopefully you have Amon Ra for your recovery.
Go to wipe, and wipe every option there is there, except SD Card: and Battery Stats, if you're not fully charged, then flash the ROM. Once it's booted, set up your Google account, etc, then go back to recovery and make a nandroid. I always save everything except Cache.
NOW, you'll have a good base to go from
i have the same prob.my buddy gave me evo to fix.sd card got wiped.i have the green recovery,i need a stock rom.
