Ok here is my situation....
I was able to fully root using toast's method. I than tried to flash my radio from the link the forums.
It installed everything properly, but then got stuck on the htc evo boot screen. i left it alone for 2 hours and it did nothing.
Is there something that can be done or did I brick it?
Thanks in advance.

Just turn it off, hold the volume button down and then hit the power button, this will put you in recovery so you can flash again
tried that, but it will not let me back into custom recovery. or do i have this wrong. I am still kinda new to all this.
what does it show? a red exclamation mark?
doing the volume down, then power. it brings me to that screen. errr the 3 androids on skateboards screen lol
damn 5 min wait between posts lol. ima be at this all night it looks like lol.
once you are there, you should be able to reboot into recovery. right when you enter that screen it should start looking for PCIMG36.zip and once it can't find that, a menu should pop up. scroll down the menu using the volume button until you hit recovery. press your power button and it should boot you into recovery. if it takes you to a screen with a red exclamation point, then you would need to plug in your phone to your pc and run the bat file that came in the first part of rooting instructions to get into recovery.
once i hit recovery from that menu, it takes me right back to the htc evo splash screen and locks up.
i really do not understand this. all these reports of this radio installing with no issue and I get this >.> ah well. i guess i knew the risks when i started this.
well if your phone can still boot up then it's definitely not bricked. did you try a battery pull and reboot?
yeah....well that is good to know anyway lol.
how do these terminal emulators work, and can i get one on my phone in this condition?
I am reading the sd and usb fix thread...but i don't understand how to run the emulator on the phone.

Excellent idea, just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685835 and download the RUU.
Once you run this you are back to stock and will have to re-root your phone via toasts instructions. Hopefully this works
tried that as well. It says there is no phone connected.
I dont know man, you gotta try combinations. Like hold the volume down to get to that recovery and then try to run the RUU perhaps?
believe i am trying everything lol. i even put the pcimg file back on and try to go from that but the phone does not even recognize it now meh it's a process. at least i know there is some hope lol
i don't have an evo (yet), but when you get into the bootloader screen (with the androids on skateboards), is there an option to go to Fastboot mode? if you RUU, that's the mode you wanna be in.
ok i put the original pc36img back on the card and got it to boot back into android!!!!!!
so now i have the root pc36img file on there. I am scared to keep going and rerooting it lol
Will i have to redo it all? I am not sure where to go from here.
everything seems to be working again.
any advice for me now? should i RUU it and just go back to stock or can i keep going from this point with the root steps again? (this time leaving the radio flash alone lol)
If you were able to get root in the first place, you are fine.
Download Flipz Stock Rom with Superuser. No flashing radios necessarily. Just flashing an update.
And you are set. You will be rooted with stock rom. Supposedly.
I did manage to get it fixed last night. Now I am fully rooted and running the fresh rom.
I really appriciate all the advice from everyone who was on here at 4am with me lol. Kinda sucks my first posts on here had to be about breaking my phone, but you guys are awesome!
I got stuck in a boot loop once too when trying to flash a rom. It was because I didn't clear the Data/Stock Image. I had cleared Cache/Dalvik, but not data.
Things I can do:
- Get to bootloader screen
- Plug in USB, pop in batter and get to fastboot USB (PC detects "Android 1.0" at this point but can't find a driver for it).
- Attempt to load ESPRIMG.zip from root of sdcard but always get "Main version is older!" and "update failed!" followed by a prompt to reboot device.
Things I can't do:
- Boot up the phone past the splash screen
- Go into recovery/fastboot; recovery dumps me to the splash and hangs there and fastboot just brings me right back to the bootloader menu.
Phone was working a few hours ago and then when I powered it down it never made it back past the splash screen.
Am I screwed?

Delete ESPRIMG.zip from your sd card. It tries to load it every time you start up.
That happened to me before and I didn't know what was going on lol.
It wasn't on there before I put it there. I was trying to get it back to the factory image. Whenever I went to the boot screen it was always looking for ESPRDIAG.zip or ESPRIMG.zip. If I delete it, nothing new happens, still hangs.
/bump
Still stuck. :/
Hmm odd situation.I no I had a problem but I left it on the splash screen for about five minutes and it finally booted you can try leaving it there and see of it eventually boots but if it takes 10 minutes plus then forget it. Though idk why you can't boot into recovery. when you have it plugged into your computer does adbe recognize it? Maybe you can do something with adb

Adb only sees the phone if its in recovery or fully booted. I'm pretty sure fastboot.exe is what is used to debug fastboot and earlier boot stages.

You're hijacking a thread, you should make your own. Simple answer to your question though; reflash a rom in recovery. If you need more info make your own thread.

I made my own thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890386 with no luck.
I didn't have ESPRING.zip to begin with since I deleted it after rooting. So I download the stock ESPRING and ran it through Bootloader. It prompted me to update so I did.
After the update finishes it asks me to reboot. So I do and then I'm stuck on the splash/boot screen again.
When I first rooted I deleted the expressimg.zip and left the update.zip (recovery) just incase something like this happened ...
Boot up using power + volume down then its gonna try to look for espressimg.zip ...it will tell you its not found..then use the volume button to go to recovery..push power to select then its gonna take you to the screen with the red triangle/exclamation mark screen ..press and hold power and volume up for a little (if it doesn't work keep tryn till you get the stock blue recovery to pop up)...the stock recovery will pop up..then it will prompt you to apply update. Zip from sd card (clockwork recovery) ..select it and you should be in clockwork ...then do what you gotta do...
Its happened to me a few times and this always does the job
Hope this helps if not I'm sorry and keep tryn
You HAVE to have update.zip (clockwork recovery) on your SD card..(not in any folders, on the root of the card) in order for this to work!!!

It's my understanding that without having the security off on our phones, the espresso recovery is not modifiable. What this essentially means is that, either the recovery should be there and fine (and by "fine" I mean, you get a triangle with an exclamation mark in it) because no ROM can currently touch it.
Me thinks that, if you are not able to get to the stock recovery (not Clockwork, but the basic, bare bones one) than your phone is probably having bigger issues. I would test this by doing the following:
1. Boot into the boot loader (I believe it's power and Volume Down at the same time when the device is turned off).
2. Wait for the device to finish it's grumblings (if you have the ESPER.IMG file on there, I think it actually checks it and even asks if you want to install it -- if it does, say no).
3. Select the option for recovery (with the volume keys).
4. I think it's power again to execute the option.
If you get to a nice black screen with a picture of your phone on there with a red triangle, then your phone is in business. We can probably convince it to behave. If that far doesn't go, me thinks something is wrong with the bits of your phone that current ROM modders can't write to...

Hm... Does your Slide have a 0 on the keyboard or a 0 with a line through it (where the 0 key actually is)? I know this sounds like an odd questions, but bear with me for a moment...
For the first however many months, Slides could be rooted by fooling the thing into booting a modded Clockwork Recovery and then gaining root that way. All the work had to basically be done while in recovery (unlike the exploid method). The newer Slides, from what I understand, no longer have that flaw and the method doesn't work.
This method (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1856-rooting-the-slide/page__p__17094#entry17094) (sorry have no idea where Eugene's copy of this has gone in the dev section).

Hey,
thanks for the help. I just have a problem.
I can't get to recovery. When I do, it goes to the T-Mobile splash screen. I do have update.zip and ESPRING.zip in the root of my SD card, but I don't have exspressimg.zip. However, I don't think it matters since I can't get into recovery.
I also tried using a different update.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Espresso with no luck.

And no it doesn't matter.... does this happen when you select "recovery" from fastboot? Or when youre on the red triangle/exclamation point screen? you shouldn't be taken to the tmo splash screen...don't hold power and vol up for too long cuz it will reboot the phone and take you to splash screen (maybe that's what ur doing)
If you're in the red triangle screen hold power and vol up for no more then one second..keep pushing till the blue stock recover pops up

I've been a Samsung Epic 4g user for quite a while now, and I just got my first Evo yesterday...and I'm trying to root/install Clockwork Mod so I can install Cyanogen Mod7 on my Evo.
I'm following the instructions found here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_4G:_Full_Update_Guide
And everything is all fine and dandy... again, I'm not a TOTAL noob, i'm just new to the Evo. I have downloaded all the necessary files.
I load up unrevoked on my computer... I enable USB Debugging on the Evo.... and start the process.
It goes through the entire process (about 2-3 minutes), it restarts the device... it says everything is done and has finished successfully.
However, after that... I shut down the Evo, and hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN (because isn't that how we boot into recovery on this phone?) and that does NOT take my to the Clockwork Mod recovery screen...it's the stock recovery.
I've tried it 3 times now, and have been unsuccessful each time. I tried BOTH unrevoked versions.... both unrEVOked 3 and also unrEVOked forever (not sure what the difference is anyways), and both looked exactly the same and gave me the same failed result.
What am I missing here? Is there a different way that I can root and install Clockwork mod WITHOUT using that unrEVOked method? Because for whatever reason, it's not working for me and I've been DYING to try out a custom ROM for this fancy shiny white Evo of mine that I just picked up yesterday.
When u did the unrevoked3 did u install the custom drivers to ur computer and delete HTC syn
Also u can download quick boot from market its free. Then click on app and select recovery
Holding volume down while hitting power won't bring you into recovery. That brings you into hboot (the white screen). If you are fully rooted it should say SHIP S-OFF at the top. From that screen use the vol down to select recovery from the list and hit the power button to select. That should bring you to clockwork, assuming unrevoked worked and you are rooted.

I was used to my Epic I guess. With that, you hold the buttons and it boots you directly into Clockwork, you don't have to select "RECOVERY"

Hello.
My Htc myTouch 3G Slide volume keys aren't working... So, I can't reboot the phone in Recovery Mode..
I just wanted to upgrade my phone, but with this problem, I can't do that.
Can anyone help me?
Is there a reason you don't want to get a replacement phone from t-mo?

Well, i bought this phone through ebay...
I'm Portuguese...
OK. Is the phone rooted already or not?
JTB
Yes.. And it has CyanogenMod 7.0.0 RC1 rom.
Then you can just reboot directly into recovery from the power menu. Boot the phone as normal, once everything is loaded hold power until you get the menu, select reboot, then select recovery.
Also, there is an adb command to do the same thing:
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Now i only get a phone and a triangle with an exclamation point. what should I do?
hit power and see where that gets you. Do you have custom MTD partitions on this phone?
Power button does nothing..
I think I don't..
it's power + the volume up key, i guess. Sounds like you have the stock recovery on your phone.
Pull the battery and restart the phone. Then load rom manager application (should be on your phone as I believe it is part of all CM roms). Select the option to flash clockworkmod recovery and then hit the reboot into recovery option.

I get the same image with the phone and the exclamation point. =S

You can use the froyo update from htc, you do it from your pc so you don't need your volume keys.

Hi,
I recently rooted my phone through VISIONary+ r14 and today downloaded ROM Manager. I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but I can't back up my current ROM (stock/branded). I want to make a complete 100% backup of my current phone to be able to restore later if I need to.
However, I don't know how to do it. There is a 'Backup current ROM' option on ROM Manager, but whenever I do it my phone restarts showing the black screen with the phone and the red Caution exclamation mark + triangle, so I have to hold Volume Up and the Power button to restart my phone.
What do I do?
Also, it may be worth mentioning my Desire HD is a Vodafone Australia branded phone which hasn't been updated at all.
Well, the triangle image thingy means you dont have recovery flashed...
So, you have to choose 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' first. - That wil download a file from the internet and install it for you, so make sure you have internet connection
That will flash/install a recovery for you, in which you can create a backup.
Oh and i think you need to S-OFF your phone before installing recovery (im not sure about that but thats what i've heard)
click here for S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 --the last process says that after S-OFF you can install CWM recovery

Can you confirm if you did this separately to ROM Manager or as per above, used the Flash Recovery option in ROM Manager?
Have you confirmed you do have root?
If you reboot into recovery do you get to the clockworkmod recovery screen? What version is it?
If root can't be confirmed, re-do the visionary method. If root is confirmed but can't get to CWM-R do as per above and flash recovery from RM console.
Yes, I can confirm it is rooted.
I just ENG S-OFFed, so I'm going to try flashing recovery once again, although I'm still pretty sure it worked before that since Clockworkmod says "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6, Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6"
Will I do damage flashing it again?
EDIT: I pressed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again and it waited for a little and then said that it was successful.
EDIT 2: Attempting another backup... And it's working!
No, you won't damage the it.
As I fly through different ROM's and do lot's of restores and backups I often have times where I need to reflash recovery.
look uot the link in my signature and try to do what it explanes......
Do all fases of rooting and you will have a perfectly rooted phone.
Also follow suggestions of CodeNameUnknown1.

Great news!! Glad you got it sorted so far.
So, I have a problem.
I pressed the Backup option in ROM Manager, and the phone restarted, I'm now in Recovery mode... But I have a very strange problem. I can't make any selections.
I can scroll through the menu options fine, but can't select anything. If I press the power/lock button, the menu goes away and the clockworkmod logo in the middle just brightens up. If I press the home or menu buttons, the same thing happens, and if I press them again the menu just reappears. The return and search buttons do nothing except vibrate. What the hell?
That's an odd one.
Can you boot into recovery by turning phone off then holding vol- press power button and go to recovery from there? Does this do the same thing?
If same then I would uninstall ROM Manager and flash the recovery again via fastboot (in which case you can download the 3.0.2.8 version (page 3 ish of the development forum). Then try again.
Then re-install ROM Manager (which will show wrong version but ignore it).
At the moment I'm having trouble trying to turn off the phone at all :S looks like I'm actually going to have to open this horrible battery cover.
EDIT: After a battery pull I tried holding the Vol+ button and power button but it has just booted normally.
I can't actually try the vol- and power because my volume down button simply doesn't work...
EDIT 2: Uninstalled ROM Manager, reinstalled, booted into Recovery Mode, now it's backing up right next to me! Yay!
So I assume that, once it's done, I just take one big file it makes and put it on my laptop or something?
EDIT 3: Okay, one more step and I should be completely rooted with no hassles.
Will this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537) work for a branded phone? It says it requires a stock kernel. My phone meets all other requirements, but is the kernel of a Vodafone AU branded Desire HD 'stock' enough to work with this S-OFF tool? I would attempt it but I'm a little worried I might screw something up.

EDIT 3: Okay, one more step and I should be completely rooted with no hassles.
Will this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537) work for a branded phone? It says it requires a stock kernel. My phone meets all other requirements, but is the kernel of a Vodafone AU branded Desire HD 'stock' enough to work with this S-OFF tool? I would attempt it but I'm a little worried I might screw something up.
