My EVO is running 2.2 and rooted (quickboot works and I have superuser)
I download a ROM with Rom Manager, I tell it to backup and wipe. then boot.
the EVO come up with 4 options: Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down.
and just sit there, NOW WHAT!!!
(a power down and then back on returns me to what i had before.)
You're in the bootloader screen. It's white, click on bootloader and it should take u a screen that says recovery, fastboot etc. You can do a nandroid backup manually and install the rom manually as well...which i recommend to do because clockworkmod is known to not wipe properly. And u posted in the wrong section

thanks for replying.
hitting the power button on bootloaded will return me to the same four options
That's only happened to me when I had a ROM that didn't load. From the white screen click the "recovery" option and try to load your ROM from there.
thanks for help.
When I do a Volume/power on and hit power at recovery my options are Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down

If I'm not mistaken I think its doing that because the recovery was not flashed correctly. Try going back to "Rom Manager" and choose the "Flash Recovery" option and then try to load your rom. That same issue happened to me and that solved the problem.
Thanks for replying.
that did it > Fixed
thanks again
Thanks that solved it, thanks again.

Ok, I am having a MAJOR ISSUE. On OMJ's ROM. I'll probably re-post tomorrow morning, because I need help. I downloaded the new ROM using ROM Manager. Then I cleared off the storage using clockwork, and flashed the new ROM from the phone. The market was broken, and Titanium wasn't working. Then I tried re-wiping so that I could restore my backup, and from clockwork it said that the backup was having an error. Now I can't get out of the fastboot screen. When I hit reboot, the phone boots into fastboot... Can someone please help?
When I turn on my phone, I have the white screen with the skateboarding android robots at the bottom. At the top is green words starting in SUPERSONIC.
My options are:
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
Power down

this doesn't belong in the development section. should be in Q&A.
but, turn off your phone and hold the volume down key and the power button. you should get the skateboarding androids but your bootloader should have an option to go to recovery. not sure exactly what you did, but once you get into recovery just flash another rom.
Sorry bout the location. It goes into the damn clockworkmod recovery screen when I do this. When I go to install zip from sd card, and choose the omj one, it just kinda skips over it, the screen goes back to the menu like it did do something, then I hit reboot, and I'm back on the skateboard screen. Gawd I hope I didn't brick it.

OMG, I did what you said, and I cleared it twice more, and it let me flash! Now should I go back into the recovery menu and clear my factory settings, and wipe dalvik etc to be sure?

if you already cleared your data and did a factory reset then you're set. just flash a rom and you should be good to go.
it's not a brick if your phone turns on btw.
I'm not sure if it works for the evo or not but try connecting to the computer and typing fastboot oem boot
That should reload you to where you were.
Then once your in your phone, just start from a clean slate by re rooting and copying the pc36img from toast tut. And running that.
BTW. Sorry if I sound drunk. It's because I am. I'll fix my post tomorrow if i read it.

If u made a clockwork backup reboot doing down and power buttons. Go to partitions., mount sdcard and plug your phone in to computer.. put a rom on the root of your sdcard,. Hit unmount sdcard,. Hit power,. Install zip from sdcard,. Then volume up once and you should see the rom zip you put on the sdcard, . Hit it and u should be all good from there..

Hi there.
My ClockworkRecovery has become unresponsive. I can get the main menu of Clockwork (reboot, flash update.zip, etc...) but when I select an option, it just goes to a black screen. selecting reboot doesnt even reboot the device. I downloaded and reflashed another Clockwork recovery, but it still has this issue.
Does anyone know how to ADB flash a new rom from the zip file provided? thanks

Are you using the Power button to select the option, as you do in HBOOT?
If so, you don't do this in custom recovery - you use the trackpad button.

Did you get it straightened out yet? What method of rooting were you using? When you boot to the bootloader, does it show you Ship S on or Ship S off? Report back, and I'll try to give you further instructions.

Okay. It sounds like you were using AutoRoot, I think. So your bootloader shows S off now. Do you have a recovery installed? From the bootloader, select recovery. What happens? Does it successfully boot to recovery, or does it give you a black screen with a triangle and exclamation point? If its the triangle and exclamation point, you don't have recovery, and you need to flash recovery. That's the next step. I'll attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra V2.3. Download that file, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. (you may need to put your sd card into a card reader to do this). Once the file is on your sd card, put the card back in, and boot to your bootloader. It should scan the sd card and find the PC36IMG, then ask you to press volume up to update. Do it. When it finishes, choose no to reboot, then select 'recovery' from the bootloader screen. From that point, you should then boot into recovery. If you successfully boot to recovery, you can then do a full wipe and flash a rom. let me know if you don't know how to do that.

That's an outdated method that doesn't work any more, right now you just have old firmware on your phone and that is why it won't let you boot normally. You're going to want to pull the battery and then hold vol down while turning it on to get to the bootloader. From there put it in fastboot mode and flash the 3.70 RUU. That should get you back up and running.
Once that is done there is a sticky in the Q&A section that has links to newer root methods in it.
i had that prob with unrevoked i pulled the battery held the vol. down an power to get the red triangle up restarted unrevoked and it finished it and got me rooted
yes to all no recovery, triangle comes up, yes please send attachments you mentioned to download. And i do not no how to do wipe. Thanks for all your help much appreciated. will wait for your next email. Thanks again

Save the file on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Power off your device. Now simultaneously, press the down volume button and the power button until your device starts. When you enter the bootloader screen, there will be a short pause and then several lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, you will have options o choose. Choose "recovery". You will then boot into your recovery. Once you're in recovery, the menus are pretty self explanatory. There should be a wipe menu or something that pertains to wiping cache, dalvik, factory reset, etcetera. Basically, wipe everything in the menu except he SD card itself. Now go to the flash menu or something that pertains to flashing a zip. Select it and then select to flash the RUU rom file you just downloaded. Be patient. When it is complete, you should be given an option to reboot. Select reboot and wait until you device finish booting.

Hi all,
I'm about to flash a new ROM, I performed the nandroid backup.
Now when I power on with the volume down, it goes straight to a screen that says 'FastBoot' highlighted in red, and then my options are Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down. I have tried doing it manually, as well as doing it with 'Rom Manager'. If I'm about to go to a new ROM, is this right? I have just downloaded the new rom to the SD card, but can't get to the screen where I tell it which rom to select. How do I make it do this?
When it first comes on now, with the volume held down, it goes straight to 'FastBoot', when I select Bootloader, and then 'Recovery', it goes back to the 'FastBoot' screen...
EDIT: Forgot to include the details. Running a stock evo, haven't loaded a new ROM before. I have root access through unrevoked. I was able to access the Clockwork Mod just the other night to perform the backup, etc. Now, however, it won't let me. I'm betting it's something silly that I did, or one of the programs is stuck in 'Fastboot only' or something like that. But, I don't know where I would have selected that... HTC Evo, Android 2.2. Lastly, whatever I select in the 'FastBoot' program (either Bootloader, recovery, fastboot, etc) it will only reboot into 'Fastboot'.
EDIT 2: I should also add that the phone is loading up and working fine, it just won't let me get into 'recovery'
What am I doing wrong here?
Can I still change ROMS?
Thanks!!!!!
What recovery were you using? Find its thread and reflash your recovery.
Support TrevE !
nothing's dead, your recovery just isn't working.
You need to install a recovery - either ClockworkMod's recovery (which is what I am assuming you're using) or TeamWin's, or an Amon-RA/clone.
Get that fixed, then go about your merry way flashing
What?? How did u nandroid if you can't flash a Rom... Just try power and vol up not down.. select bootloader hit power then.. select recovery power ..
In recovery wipe data wipe cache then restore nandroid backup
Are u rooted via unrevoked or revolutionary? In Rom manager choose flash cwm recovery then select manual reboot Into recovery
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
yes, I have run a ClockworkMod recovery through ROM Manager. I have also run a Nandroid backup through ClockworkMod recovery. I am worried that if I try to select that option, it will try to reboot through 'Recovery', but be unable to reach it. Then, I might be stuck in a loop.
So, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Rom Manager and QuickBoot, nothing changed. In 'Rom Manager', I have an option to 'Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery', which I haven't tried. I have tried Reboot into Recovery, which takes me into my 'fastboot' loop that I mentioned before.
So, from what you're telling me, what will happen if I select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'? Will it just flash the recovery there? or will it start the recovery process, then try to reboot into recovery mode (which it can't get to) to finish the process?
Sorry for so many questions. Just would rather ask before I try it so as not to have a really pretty paperweight of a phone...
THANKS!!!

Sorry, this reply came in while I was answering the other questions....
When I ran the nandroid backup, I wasn't having any trouble getting into Recovery. This inability to get into recovery just started. I am rooted with unrevoked v2.
If I can't get into recovery, and I select 'Flash CWM recovery', is part of that process of flashing the recovery going to try to reboot into recovery, then not be able to get to recovery and get me locked into a loop? or will it just flash right there and then I'll be able to power down and get to recovery like normal?
So after reading the other comments, I guess what I need to know is, what happens when I select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'?
Does it just flash from within the program, while the phone is still turned on?
Or
Does it start the process, then attempt to boot into recovery to finish the process?
If it does the first option, then I might be ok to do it. If it does the second, then I'm worried that to complete the process, I might be stuck as it tries to get into recovery that's not available....
Any thoughts from someone who has done this? What happens when you flash CWM Recovery?
Thanks!

Download that file. Rename it PC36IMG.zip. place it on the root of your sd card. Power off your phone. Hold the power button and volume down at the same time. If your phone boots into fastboot select boot loader, otherwise it will boot into bootloader and begin the update. Your phone will prompt you to install the update. I believe it will say hit volume up for yes or volume down to no. This will reflash your recovery.img. After this happens you will have a recovery installed.
Great. Thanks! So, after I do that, then I will be able to either (1) boot into recovery, which I can't do now or (2) just boot the phone as I normally do until I flash the new rom?
thanks so much! I'm learning so much about this from you all.
flashing cwm from from manager won't reboot to recovery till you choose to but will install cwm recovery that app was built to help facilitate the recovery install with ease in mind don't worry

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

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

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.

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.
