I BELIEVE this happened when people started installing the latest OTA. You have to use a different root method or RUU to get it to work...
Maybe this will help

Just go to the link / thread that Dredge posted for simple root. All you have to do is click and follow the instructions. Don't worry about about what files you have or don't have now. Even better delete the junk you previously loaded when trying to root. Simple root will get you Root access, unlock nand and flash the proper PC36IMG. I did it weeks ago before there was a version for gaining root post OTA. If you really really need help you can watch the steps on YouTube. Simpleroot method draws on methods used by others and makes it as automatic and hands off as possible.
-kp

I was in the same exact boat you were in, but have finally rooted it and have a custom rom and it is great.
Use simple root (it works) and follow the video steps as well, its like 20 minutes long, but it lets you know whats going on with your phone.
However I don't think you have achieved fool root status yet, because you need to NAND unlock ( i think that means full user permission)
You need to follow the steps on this page, and then you will be set to flash custom roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
What the "simple root" basically does is revert your phone back to 1.17.651.1 which makes the full nand unlock possible, then follow the steps on the link above after you have rooted with simple root, and you are good to go.
It is a really easy process, thanks to these guys and this website.
I have had trouble with this before but finally got it done, so if you need help message me or just post it up on here.

[Q] Can't seem to get rooted or recovery

So I first followed these instructions to use Unrevoked to root my girlfriend's new phone, as this was how I rooted my phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/07/20/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-4g-unrevoked-method/
Unrevoked said it was triumphant, but when I rebooted into my bootloader, and selected fastboot -> recovery I just got a black screen with a red triangle. Apparently, there's no nandroid loaded on my phone.
So I proceeded to follow Toast's 2 part guide here:
Part 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718889
Part 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835
Apprehensive about not being able to perform a nandroid backup, I proceeded anyways, but when I tried to create /data/flash_image I received an error: permission denied. So I'm positive I don't have root either.
So I went to this tutorial believing that I probably had a newer version (even though my notification bar is telling me I need to download the mandatory update) and followed these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718889
I repeated my previous steps, but was still no closer. Finally, I went to these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690762
but when I tried to update using the pc36img file, after it finished checking the file it said "Main version is older! Update fail! Do you want to reboot device?"
So I'm pretty much stuck. What can/should I do?

Well, you need to figure out what version the phone is in the bootloader as in what hboot version.. And also you need to see what hardware version. You are trying to use methods that WILL NOT work on a new Evo.

Pretty much what this guy said.
You're going to need to use the new method for the 2.02 HBOOT since S-ON is present. If S-OFF was present you'd obviously be ready to go to flash a custom recovery and flash your ROM of choice.
Here's a guide to get your S-OFF with 2.02, follow it to the "T": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Once you've got S-OFF and a custom recovery loaded, you'll just have to flash a ROM. Personally, I'd recommend Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4. It's the fastest ROM I've used and looks/works the best, imo.

Like all any other nerd in this forum on a thought about "How do I root this phone?" - Check the fkn specs of the phone to root with the instructions that has the details of your phone ONLY...gosh jeez peeoople where did we go wrong here?
Bad luck you wrote the wrong root method on a new females phone. >_<
Make sure you find out the Hboot version and the S-OFF has to be there for your phone to be flashed with a new rom / kernel for use.

What everyone said, but in case you don't know. To check your Hboot version boot to the bootloader (power on + vol down) to check your version.

This is what I needed, thanks. Sorry, but it had been since the EVO launched since the last time I had to unlock one, sorry I wasn't completely versed in the nuances of hboot versions and the appearance of S-On. I'm glad someone was nice enough to simply post the correct guide.

[Q] Can anybody help me out, please?

I've searched the forums and have not found a situation that really matches mine.
I've been running on a Cyanogen nightly build for probably two months with no problems. Out of nowhere this morning my phone reboots itself (while it was idle; I wasn't even touching it) and then gets stuck in a boot loop. I get the White HTC Evo 4G screen, then it powers off and comes back up to the white screen again. Over and over.
All I can get do is hboot. Even telling hboot to go into the recovery mode puts my back into the boot loop. Fastboot, clear storage, and hboot usb all seem to work though. I've tried downloading the PC36IMG.zip file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141) in that thread, but hboot loads it and tells me that it is older than my current version, and only gives me the option to reboot, or not to reboot. Doesn't load the image.
Here is the information on my hboot screen:

No, the app on the PC said everything was successful. The progress bar on the phone progressed without errors too.

what happens when you reboot the phone not going into bootloader?

Just the HTC EVO 4G splash screen. Over and over and over...

does it show the boot animation or just stuck on splash?

Just the splash. No animation.

pull the battery, remove your sdcard, put the battery back in, see if it gets to the animation

I asked my wife to check this thread from the car on the way to dinner. Saw the response. So I took my laptop inside with us and used the RUU one more time. No luck. I decided that it must be a hardware issue. I took the SD out and removed the evidence that the phone had been rooted, then took it to the sprint service center up the road. They just replaced it for me. Thanks for your time! I DO want to root my phone again, the ROMs are just so much better than the stock installation. Should I not install the OTA updates if I'm going to root it? Which guide should I follow for rooting?

never do OTA when rooted, use unrevoked to root, unrevoked.com

Not when rooted. I meant should I update to the latest OTA UNTIL I decide to do the root again? Is the latest OTA unrootable?

Same deal.
Here is the post that I put in the wrong forum that I was about to post here until I saw this thread...
Wellp. I win.
I win a no expenses paid trip to my nearest Sprint dealer.
Ever since I used unrevoked to root my phone in November, I've been voraciously digging through these forums for tasty roms. I've been snorting lines of Cyanogen, MIUI, and a myriad of other, well-designed roms.
Using a on older version of hboot (pre 1 methinks) I was able to avoid the latest hassles with ClockworkMod (plus, I down(up?)graded to 2.6 via RomManager).
Tonight, as I was enjoying some tasty foodstuffs at my local foodstuff vendor, my phone rebooted. Then, it rebooted again. Then again. I once made the folly of flashing a new rom without running the appropriate wipes, and was no stranger to the bootloop. I patiently fired up hboot (my poor volume rocker is all but wore out) and ordered up the trusty recovery mode.
...then it rebooted again... and again... and again.
PusSidiasus: ONOES! I HAVE THE WTFBBRICKED MY PRECIOUS!
SmartAsSidiasus: Hang on for a second, let's check the internet. Try this link: tinyurl.com/4vgeyeg
PusSidiasus: ...
Unfortunately, my internal dialogues are not nearly as witty. Also, my best attempts to de-brick-ify were for naught. Fastboot gave some wacky error message when I tried to flash a new recovery, and installing via PC36IMG.zip did nothing to improve the situation. I even went so far as to install a stock image someone pulled from an RUU (with a 2.02hboot, so as to avoid wimax woes)...
Still, a whole lotta nothing. I can't do anything beyond hboot, and whatever recovery image I install (Clockworkmod, AmanRa) the machine still bootloops.
At this juncture, I've resigned to taking the phone into the sprint store and playing dumb. It is a stock rom, though I hope the attendant misses the S-OFF bit at boot. Which brings me to my proper question:
1) Has anyone run aground a similar issue and found a way out?
OR...​
2) Anyone know how to turn S-(back)ON in my current situation?​
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Also, you can rest assured that I'll be rooting again whatever phone I walk away with, and the work that is exhibited in these forums is amazing. Keep churning out wonderful roms and guides.

The first thing,you are not rooted,in hboot you will see S-Off if you are rooted,the other thing is,you need a SD card.When you get the SD card,insert it and follow these directions....
1: Download and install HTC drivers HTC drivers
2: Download the rooting tool/program revolutionary Revolutionary, downloads are at the bottom of the page. You will need to enter in your Evo's serial number (under the battery) and be sure to save the beta key. You'll need it later..(best thing to do is copy and paste the beta key into command box).
3: Enable USB debugging (settings>applications>development>turn on USB debugging) and connect the evo to your PC as charge only
4: Un-zip the S-OFF tool and run the program, making sure to install the custom recovery when prompted. (unless you already know what you're doing and want to put Amon_Ra or TWRP recovery on there)You will need a recovery,here is Amon RA Style
5: Download SuperUser and boot into recovery. To enter recovery: power off completely, yes battery pull while off too be sure, then hold volume down+power and from there go to recovery and confirm.
6: install superuser from recovery (you must put the Superuser zip on the SD card first, before booting into recovery. Or mount your SD card while in recovery to take it too your Evo. OR, download it too your phone before booting into recovery )
YOU ARE NOW ROOTED.
7: (optional but highly recommended) Make a nandroid backup via recovery and then put it on the PC just to be sure nothing will happen too it.
This is not my tool,i'm just posting this for you.You will need a rom to install,you can get them here .

He's on Hboot 097. He can root with unrEVOked, I'm pretty sure

Which is better revolutionary or unrevoked? Which is easier?
Also will this fix my issue. I dont care if im rooted or not. Sure it would be nice. But my main worry is fixing this issue first. Than rooting. But if I can "kill two birds with one stone" than even better.

First off, you're going to need an SD card. Onto that SD Card, download this file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9362091/PC3...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
Rename the file to just PC36IMG.zip, and put it on the root of the SD Card. Put the SD Card into the device, and boot into HBOOT. It should recognize the file, take a while to load it, and then ask if you want to update. Choose "yes" by pressing the Volume up button. This part will take a while - it'll reboot into bootloader once during the update process, so don't be alarmed by that, and by all means, don't touch it while it's updating. Once it's done, it'll ask you if you want to reboot. Choose yes, and then we'll see if it'll boot up. If it does, then you can proceed to root it using unrevoked3. If it doesn't, then you got a raw deal and you should get your money back (I hope you used PayPal!).

Sounds like someone sold you a semi-bricked phone. Does it still get stuck when you try booting it up? If it can't update the radio partition, then that means it's corrupt, and the phone is unusable.

it wasnt unrevoked its the pc36img that gave that error. everything else was ok.

does it still get stuck at what.part? the white screen. i think so. but doesnt flash repeatedly now. is it the right pc36img for me that

A PC36IMG.zip is just a ROM file set up to flash in the bootloader. If that won't completely flash (especially if the radio update is failing), you might be stuck. I can give you a newer one to try, but then you'll have to use a different rooting method, if you get it to successfully update.
I don't see why it would work, though.

ill try another img file. what other way to root? isnt the way where you gotta save serial number or what not the easiest way!?

so there no way to fix it or the radio or this problem of it not being able to boot past this whogr boot up screen. or if i got insurance will it get replaced for free.

Some1 sold you a phone that was bricked. The radio update is failing cuz that's how it got bricked in the first place...bad radio updates. That is the most common way bricks happen. Get your money back asap. End of story.

[email protected]
I REALLY WANT THIS ROM.. but they said you can't use it with any other Recovery except the one above.

what versoin is your bootloader? i havent really heard of any problems loading Amon-Ra with older versions. What is the name of the file you are trying to install from zip(should be PC36IMG.ZIP) from bootloader? not treating you like a noob( i am prob more of a noob than you) but we can all overlook thigs.

I'm definitley a noob. first time ever. I just rooted my evo 2 days ago. but never flashed a rom. my rom says the right title. as soon as i go into hboot mode.. it reads the PC36IMG.ZIP. and then it says "MAIN VERSION IS OLDER...REBOOT?"
so it doesn't recognize it. i downloaded the zip from 2 different files online. I know it's the most updated one..but it still won't change my thing from clockword to AMON RA.

You are downloading the pc36img.zip file from this page?

bootloader version
software version

LOL i was in the process of searching and typing my long ass reply and you beat me to it!

ACTUALLY, i just noticed something. SOMEHOW... during this whole process or wiping data clean (as per the instructions)..my phone now says S-ON. Does that mean my ROOT is now gone too?
I hope not. It took me like 3 hours to root it the other night.

We're going to need to know what it says in your bootloader in order to help you. Have you rooted your device, or unlocked NAND using unrEVOked, Revolutionary, or the HTCDev.com method? That "Main Version" error relates to whatever the most recent update is that you've installed to your device. You wouldn't get that error if you were NAND unlocked (i.e. S-OFF). We'll need those details to be able to help you.

It was S-OFF this morning before I tried to install this ROM and do the WIPE info.
Now my screen says:
**UNLOCKED**
SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.18.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.12.19

looks like you are gonna have to root again. what method did you use? if your phone supports it use revolution to root. i used it flawlessly and it took no time at all. This is an excellent root tutorial.

Well looks like you accepted a OTA or ruu and managed to unlock with HTC Dev lol. Follow the guide in Captain_throwbacks signature on how to get s-off
Sent from my swiper using XDA App

I used HTCDEV version

once you are finally rooted again, make sure you dont accept any OTA updates.

I can help. I have a PC36IMG.zip you can flash in bootloader for Amon_RA's v2.3 recovery. See here.
You don't need to be S-OFF to flash a custom ROM since your bootloader is now unlocked.

I'll try that. THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR QUICK REPLIES. I'll try this tonight when i go home. WIll it let me do this on my PC? because right now i can't even get back into my android phone. It just shows up with the screen saver for the new ROM. But nothing on the screen and it won't respond to any touch, nor go into disk drive when i connect it to the pc.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THIS ONE?
(told you guys i was a newbie,lol)

You'll have to download the file from a PC, and boot into recovery and connect the device in USB Mass Storage mode. Then you can copy the previously mentioned PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sd card (meaning don't put it in any folders). Then reboot into bootloader, and it should ask you if you want to update. Choose "Yes" (Volume Up), and when it's done, choose not reboot the device. That'll take yu to the HBOOT Menu. From there, choose recovery, and you should now be running RA-supersonic-v2.3 - Haus Mod rev.A. Then you can do a FULL wipe (everything except SD card), and reflash the Express ROM.

THe phone won't let me go into USB Mass Storage mode. IT's just frozen on the blue screen that comes with this ROM. I think i need to get it back to stock first and start all over. Anyway i can do that from the bootloader menu? if not..any other suggestions?

You have to pull the battery and boot into bootloader. Then choose recovery from the HBOOT menu and mount it in recovery. There is an option for USB Mass Storage mode in every recovery.

Captain Throwback. i just read your response "You don't need to be S-OFF to flash a custom ROM since your bootloader is now unlocked."
The original reason that i tried to root the phone was to get FREE WIFI TETHERING to my Ipad. I do need S-OFF in order for that to work though right?

No, you don't. You just need root to do that, which you can have with an unlocked bootloader (which you have). Once you flash the custom recovery I provided and the Express ROM, hotspot should work fine (as all custom ROMs have root access, the Express ROM has hotspot hacked).

THANK YOU SO MUCH..i'm on that screen. now you said "Then you can do a FULL wipe (everything except SD card). does that mean i got wo WIPE ALL USER. YES..WIPE CACHE..YES>.WIPE DATE..YES. WIPE SYSTEM? YES.. WIPE DATA: BATTERY STATS..YES...WIPE DATA: ROTATE SETTINGS..YES?
DO I SAY YES TO EVERYTHING ONE BY ONE?
