I was trying to get cm6 installed on my Evo and unfortunately, my mac unzipped the files as i downloaded them.
Unknowingly, I flashed the SPL engineer and Radio from the unzipped folder. However, before flashing cm6, i realized the mistake, and switched to PC. I restored my initial backup from ROM manager and then tried reflashing the (now properly zipped) engineer folder, but when it tried to reboot, it got stuck in hboot and it wont reboot. When I try restoring from Recovery, it says theres a problem with the boot image. Any ideas or did i kill the phone?

Basically someone took hboot and put it into a pc36img.zip format. So you should be able to place this on the root of the SD card, which means you'll have to take your sd card out of your phone and stick the pc36img.zip on it through a PC. Also make sure that the file reads exactly pc36img.zip. Stick your sd card back on your phone, turn on, see if you phone finds this zip card automatically when it boots and hopefully applies it so you get hboot back.
I read that this might make your lose root and wipe your phone, but at least you can get hboot back hopefully. I'm no expert, but thats a start.
If this does get you back hboot, then you might check out this thread to get your Nand unlocked, (if it shows security-on)

Search the development forums, they can help you a lot. If you can get hboot to work again, you might have to flash a stock version thats unrooted to get everything back to a running state. Remember that you need some type of recovery such as clockword mod or Amon Ra to flash roms. If you don't have recovery up and running then you might look for a stock version in the pc36img.zip format that can run from hboot.
I haven't tried this, therefore I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. These are suggestions, since you can't seem to go any further.
Thanks, yeah after a bit of tinkering, I got it fixed. The PC36img file worked. thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the help, I stated in the title i cant into recovery mode, when i select it from the hboot menu phone resets and goes into boot loop.
I flashed pc36img but no go.
The only way I can seem to connect to pc, is via HBOOT USB.
Don't wanna go back to the TP2 =(
if you can get to hboot, you should be able to run one of the ruu's to bring the phone back, as well as there are several articles on fixing boot loops. Try searching through the forums, almost no loop is permanent, just need to find a fix that works for you
Can you access your sdcard? If so, find a download link to the "Part-two_evo-root_Amon_RA" file (should be in the "root 2.2 instructions thread". Extract the file onto your desktop and drag the files from it onto your sd card (leave all the contents in their zipped format). Select yes to the overwrite. Go into Hboot, and install the pc36img file from your zd card. Select no to reboot, go into recovery (pull the battery if it goes back to hboot, if it still doesnt work download the Evo Recovery files, pm me if you need a link). In Amon's recovery menu select install zip from sd, select the 2.2 root file, and let it install the file, then reboot.
i am having similar issues with my evo. it won't recover just get ! i'm not really sure what i did wront, i know i downloaded the laster update into my rooted evo and it alll went downhill from there. i extacted the update into the phone and now i can't get out of the loop. i can get my computer to regognize the phone, but i can't access the sdcard. truthfullt i had no business doing this, since i don't have much experience rooting or anything. if anyone could help that would be great. thanks

Hello, i have a rooted evo running 2.2 i flashed a new rom called fresh with worked great with not problems at all, then i flashed a new theme called manup456 wich also worked flawlessly, i then tried another theme called riptide which looked like it overlapped the manup456 and looked kind of neat. but i tried to go back to just the manup456 and my phone just keeps trying to reboot (HTC quietly brillian) over and over again. can't get into hboot. Did I brick my phone? Please help!
Thanks in advance
Both experiencing the same problem,
One UD 8.0 got stuck in loop after I tried installing Koush Kernel
2nD one is running CM6.0.1, was fine until I tried using to read Phone #1s MicroSD to figure out what was wrong.
2nd phone (CM6) then restarted randomly while plugged into PC, which started the bootloop.
Tried everything, nandroid (Couldn't mount /Data), I wiped, factory reset, tried reflashing update.zip for CM6 phone.
Both phones are completely useless, not sure what to do at this point and CM6's owner was leaving town.
Any ideas? Ultimate way to unbrick a DINC? If you know of anything, please help.
A boot loop is not a brick. I would nandroid back to stock(you did this right?) or use an RUU.

Does this mean you can get into hboot?
If yes, you should be able to ruu an official release..

I do not have a great deal of experience, but since you can get in recovery, place King Kernel #3 on your SD card, boot into recovery and apply the KingKernals #3 zip file from your SD card for the 1st phone. See if that fixes it. Just sounds like incompatibility with the kernel if it happened right after you flashed it.

UD is an AOSP Rom, King's kernel does not support it at this time.
I would try a fresh install of the 8-26 leak. Do wipe first, then do dalvik wipe under advanced settings. Get deodexed version of rom Here
If that does not work let's get some information
Did you run unrevoked forever and get S-off status?
What radio version are you using?
You should not be borked if you are getting into recovery you should be fine.
@ToyTank
BOTH phones are - 2.05.00.6.11 S-ON, Neither are unrevoked forever.
Problem with phone 1 (UD) is that the SD card is completely messed up now. It's an 8GB that has nothing on it, the compuiter is reading it at 758MB. Any function of Recovery leads to errors mounting, so flashing stuff isn't working, nandroid as well.
Phone 2 (CM6) let's me flash stuff onto it, "Install from sdcard complete." but will continue into a bootloop when I restart the phone.
I attempted RUU last night and maybe I'm doing it wrong but the software is giving me an error connecting to USB. How should I go about installing the 8-26 leak? Just wipe > throw in PB31IMG and install?
I assume I don't need unrevoked forever for this, I tried 8-26 and flashed PB31IMG.zip, Device 2 Starts dancing until it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail". Anybody know a workaround?
Try formating the sd card to FAT32 using a computer. That might help with phone #1. Error with usb can be solved using these steps.
1. Try the RUU executable. it will give you that usb error, taking you to the black htc screen.
2. Exit the ruu program (leaving phone in that state) and run it again. This worked for me when I RUU'd mine.
Who knows though. It may have been a one shot deal.
sounds like you are trying a bunch of stuff without READING about what you are doing. you flashed kernels with a rom that CLEARLY states that they will not work and then you tried to flash unsigned roms through hboot which will not work without s-off and then you try to downgrade when you have the ota leak (radio 2.05) which will not work.
you either need to get the ruu working, get s-off applied or follow the steps to go back to stock hboot.
time for you to start doing your homework to get yourself out of this mess.
Neither are bricked. Ruu back to stock.
yeah bro not good practice
@Fretless, @Lafester, @GermanBrat. Thanks for the comments - going to try RUU 3.21.605 and report back.
Hey guys RUU worked for Phone 2 (CM6) but is not playing nice with Phone 1. USB connection error. I appreciate the help so far, any more ideas for this phone?
It's basically stuck in white htc inc screen and will go no further. It's completely wiped and nothing will mount in recovery. RUU can't detect a usb connection but the PC beeps when I connect via usb
Hey guys! I have no idea where to post, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong section.
I'm very new to rooting and I've seem to come into a major problem. (Atleast in my eyes.) To start off I had gotten my HTC Evo 4g & used the method of UNRevoked to root my Evo. I then found out UNRevoked isn't a full nand unlock & all the nitty gritty, so I came upon Toastcfh's guide to rooting the Evo. I performed half the instructions as told and was then in this boot loop. Right before it happened I (think) I erased the Dalvik Cache, but I definitely hard formatted the whole phone/cache. Anyway as told in the instructions I was suppose to flash the PC36IMG.zip to my phone and I did. Once that all configured it rebooted on itself & now the phone is stuck in boot with stock recovery method. I can load into HBOOT and see that in green lettering it says: SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-0.79.0000, TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab, RADIO-1.39.00.04.26. Please help me. I havent used my phone for a whole day now. :\
To add: Before the PC36IMG.zip got added on my phone, I had clockwork mod recovery. Now I have the stock one I'm guessing. I have tried a stock RUU through HBOOT USB, but the RUU either says some error my phone battery is under 30% (when it's fully charged). Or the RUU will say waiting for device to connect. & I tried putting a rom on my sd card then flashing or whatever and my computer wont open my sd card unless, I put it in the disk reader. Please ask questions, I'll answer as best as I can...thanks!
The current Unrevoked does in fact unlock nand, so you should have stopped there. I am not familiar with Toast's rooting method, so I can't say for certain what happened. The good news is, you are probably fine, you just need to reflash a rom. Since you can't get into recovery, the best way to fix this is to flash a rooted stock pc36img from your hboot. Download the file from THIS THREAD, rename it to pc36img, put it on your sd card and boot into hboot. It will find it automatically and then it will take a few minutes to load it. Once it's loaded it will ask if you want to run the update, choose yes and let it do its thing. When it's done you will have the latest rooted stock rom on there and clockwork recovery. Make sure you delete the old pc36img off your sd card before doing this. Good luck and godspeed.
Did what u said there MetalHead. still getting boot loops at the white htc evo 4g screen and can not get into recovery. Do you have anymore suggestions?
I would try it again but use this PC36IMG.zip instead.
http://www.4shared.com/file/5U4M4eVi/PC36IMG.html?cau2=403tNull
This one is completely stock. You will be unrooted after running it, so you will have to root again.

Before I even started to think about posting this, I did some searching to see if others have gotten my problem before. I read the threads and seen that the advice they were given turned out to be solutions.
I'm stuck on the HTC INCREDIBLE boot screen. I've taken out the battery, tried to wipe the phone by doing factory reset, done an old restore, and yet, still no progress.
I'm at HBOOT 0.92, Radio 2.5 if those specs are even necessary to know of. I can get into clockworkmod recovery but the options there aren't working for me.
Any suggestions?
Does your cwm recovery work. If so restore a backup and if you don't have any, download a Rom and put it on your SD card and instal it through cwm recovery. You can buy a 2 gb micro SD from best buy or somewhere and it should have a SD card adapter so you can put it in your computer and put the .zip file on your SD card

I'd try maybe reflashing your recovery or the stock image (RUU), files are available at www.dougpiston.com
Check if your still s-off in hboot. If not you may have to the dougpiston PB31IMG.zip like the poster above me said.

I downloaded the PB31IMG.zip and when I tried to install it, it said "Installation Aborted". So now, I'm going to try the RUU. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress..
UPDATE:
I just tried to run the RUU, but it said there was a USB connection error. I'm out of luck now and have no idea what to do now..
You don't flash the PB31IMG.zip in recovery, you put it on the root of your SD card and boot into hboot. Then it'll ask you if you want to update.
Wow! I am forever greatful for the help you guys have given me! I got it to work, thanks!
Glad that you got it working!
Ok so here's the problem I'm having. I'm trying to take my phone back to stock so I can send it into verizon. The charging port is broken, so there's not RUU option. I've flashed gingerbread, and have gotten back to s-on. Now, I've been following the guide (stickied) and once I get to the PB31IMG.zip flash step it won't do anything. I can't get rid of Clockwork, and the superuser icon is still present on the phone. Whenever I try to flash the zip (I've downloaded from multiple sources) it gets to the "checking" part and then goes back to the hboot main screen. What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix it? I'm on a time limit because I need to send it away by tomorrow night. Thanks for all the help.

What hboot and gingerbread version are you on?
I'm on .92 hboot, and i think it's 2.3.4.... it's the 2.15......28 radio.
Ok first backup and format the sdcard fat32 with a pc. Then download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip, and place it on the sdcard in no folders. Then put the sd back in the phone and boot to hboot and see if it will find it. Sometimes if there are errors on the sdcard it wont process the file correctly, reformating it should fix this. If it flashes correctly go back to hboot and do a factory reset, this will ensure all data is gone.

Thanks a thousand percent! That link is what did it. I've tried numerous sources over the past few days and it never got past the "checking" stage. Everything is all sorted out now. Thanks again.
