Hey guys. I rooted my phone and it worked great. I installed clockwork and saved my ROM to where if I went to another ROM I could set it up easier. WRONG! So now I have wiped my data and cleared my cache and reinstalled revoked. when I reboot the phone it just keeps booting up on the white HTC EVO 4G screen. I have let the phone site for 30 minutes and when I came back it is stilling rebooting to this screen for a couple of minutes, then reboot to this screen and repeat. How can I fix this?????
right now I have wiped my data again, cleared storage, and installed unrevoked again. It now says install from sdcard complete. What do I try from here??
Need to choose zip to install to sd card
Then navigate to the rom zip that you downloaded/choose
That should load you up, sounds like your rooted and now just need to flash your rom of choice. Good luck
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
ok I wiped date, wiped dalvick, cleared storage. I then ran unrevoked. I then went to the sd card to unzip my ROM and it wasnt there! So I pulled the battery, I pulled the SD card and inserted another card which I installed the PC36img.zip on. I did a hard reset and it booted into HBoot. I then went into recovery and I then went to install zip from SD card. I choose the PC36img and then it did something really fast and I couldnt read what it said. I did see clockworkmod at the top. I then rebooted and now the phone goes to the HTC EVO 4G screen for about 1 minute then reboots and does it over and over. Im stuck and I dont know what to do.......
It sounds to me like you need to zip a rom to your phone.
Put a copy of the zip of your rom of choice onto your desktop and plug your phone into the computer.
Boot your phone into hboot. (volume down + power)
Choose recovery
When you are booted into recovery choose usb-toggle option.
Your phone should then show up as a storage device and you should then copy your zip to the sd card.
toggle usb off
Wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache
Flash zip
Reboot
The initial boot might be a bit long, but your phone should be up and running. If so you should perform a backup, and then save that onto your computer to avoid loss if anything should go wrong.
*you don't need to keep flashing the pc36.img file, and you don't need to keep running unrevoked. you should already be in root with nand unlocked, so just flash a new rom like Myn's or Fresh or whatever you want
I got it. Thanks for your help!

I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 and in an attempt to use Fresh Evo 0.5.3 I screwed something up. I downloaded the zip file while I was at work to my sd card. In Recovery I went into "install zip from sdcard" and selected the zip. When I went to reboot the screen gave me the white boot up. After about 10 seconds the screen went black, then the white boot up came back on. This loops continuously.
On top of this, I didn't install the Evo-Recovery correctly (I dont have any recovery that I know of).
I was using the DetoxEVO Theme prior to this, and attempted to go back to it after wiping both user data and cache partition. The loop continued to happen.
I'm completely lost here and really would appreciate some help. Is there a way to access my sd card and drop the Evo-Recovery in and then run the recovery? If anyone could help that would be awesome.
What did you name the file that you placed on your SD card ?
You can remove the SD card and load it onto your PC via a card reader.
I've got a card reader, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I deleted the Fresh Evo 0.5.3 zip file and tried to install a recovery backup using Evo-Recovery.zip, but it's still stuck.
u had to wipe data/clear cache before u tried flashing
Hello there
I was about to flash a new Rom and before doing that I partitioned with Rom Manager the SD.
I also formatted the SD Card with Rom Manager.
From that moment on I was not able to restart into recovery mod any longer from Rom Manager.
I then decided to restart in bootloader to do a full wipe to factory reset.
From that moment on when I try to start the phone, I get stuch to the HTC Logo/Custom image logo and it keeps on booting over and over again.
I simply cannot access the phone. What can I do to fix that?
Thanks in advance
Update
I removed the battery for some time ( 30 mins) and was then able to reboot in bootloader. ( Power + back )
I headed to recovery but I am now stuck again with the phone and the red triangle...
I then use power+vol. + and get to system recovery but I just have:
-Reboot system now
- apply sdcard update.zip
- Wipe data/factory
- Wipe cache...
and nothing seems to work...
Any Idea?
Surely this is just because you wiped your memory card?
Yes I did. I am not 100% sure as I panicked a little bit probably and now I do not remember correctly but it was suggested a full wipe so I did it.
How can I now sort it out?
Did you copy the stuff from your sd card before you wiped?
Yes I did a nan back up and copied it all
Have you copied it all back? Just go to apply sdcard update.zip and the clockworkmod recovery shoud be there.
I could not copy it all back because after I started the whole process I could not access the phone anymore and even now, if I plug it to the PC it does not get recognized by it
okay download this:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-bravo.zip
Put it on your sdcard. Then go to the recovery menu you were on and click apply sdcard update.zip and you have the old clockworkmod recovery. If you also put a rom on the sd card you will be able to flash it over and will get a new rom. That should fix the problem!
Ehi Taylor I tried what you suggested and it worked!
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it!
My son rooted his EVO using unrevoked 3 and it worked fine until he created a custom rom when it loaded it wiped out his operating system and didn't load. Now his phone is stuck the boot loader screen. Can someone please tell us how to fix the phone if you need more info just let me know and I will get it. Thanks for any help!
Did he make a nandroid backup? If not here is some advice: Ok, first go into bootloader, hit recovery then hit wipe data/ facotry reset (something to that effect) wait for it to finish and try a reboot. If that doesn't work, take out the micro sd card, insert it into your computer and download a stock rooted HTC evo rom (should be a zip file, don't extract!). Once done downloading, place it on the root of the micro sd.then put the sd back into the phone and boot into recovery again. Once in recovery, hit the install zip from sd and the hit choose file from sd. Find the file you downloaded and hit enter. Wait for it to install and reboot the phone. It should run properly again if these steps were done correctly.

You're on the right path but a bit off track.
Just use #1 if you have access to Recovery. Just read #2 so you have the correct illustration of what boatloader looks like vs recovery. (The post above was confusing)
#1. Make sure you have a rooted version of a stock ROM on the root of your SD card. If you do not, read the later part of #2.
Next, for to wipe and the wipe data, cache, and dalvik 2x..
Then, flash rooted ROM from the zip. Test...see if it works... if you tried over a dozen times with problems... then try #2.
If you had created a NANDrois back up as the root suggestions imply the here is where yo can restore nanderois as well.
If this still does not resolve the missed, you can try #2 or learn how to flash RUU.
#2. The white screen with the android on the skate board is the boatloader. When your EVO is yrunes off, you can access this by pressing and holding power+volume down. Remember, this is the bootloader.
Now, you can put a rooted pc32 zip in the root of the SD card by either removing the SD card from the phone and using a micro SD card reader.
Or, you can go to the bootloader screen then you can select recovery and go to recovery.
From recovery, toggle to USB and then push it copy the pc32 zip to the root of your SD card.
Once you have the zip on the SD card, turn off your phone or ADB command a reboot bootloader. Press yes to flash thepc32 zip
Did this work?

FYI the PC32 file that the Op mentioned above is PC36IMG.zip for Evo's.

I was using boot manager to install a rom and I accidently wiped system and the rom didn't flash properly. Now I'm stuck in fastboot and can't mount my usb to transfer a rom to get back into my phone. All it does is power down or reboot into fastboot. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Searching for you... really hope we can get your phone working again
So you can not boot into recovery at all?
If you hold power plus volume down can you get to the bootloader?
have you removed your SD card & used a card reader?

Was just going to suggest that. I had a similar thing happen, and I just popped the SD card out, copied a ROM to it and then booted to hboot (vol down and power on) and selected recovery there. I then could re-wipe and flash the new rom.

If he can't get it to boot into recovery he'll have to try flashing a rom or new recovery in a pc36img.zip.
Thanks for the replies...I really appreciate the help. I can power down and get into the bootloader, but I can't choose recovery to get to my backups. It just loops to fast boot. When I click bootloader it tries to scan the pc36img, but fails...I'm guessing that it got erased. I don't have a card reader, but that's a good idea. I'll got to the store and pick one up and see if I can transfer the files I need to get my phone back on. I'll post back and let you guys know what happens. Thanks again for the help so far.
You just need to put the recovery file on the root of the sd card. Not everything until you see if it got erased.

Just bought the sd card reader and loaded back the recovery file. Looks like all my files on the sd card are still intact. I tried flashing HybridBeta.5...it flashed but kept going back to recovery when I tried to reboot. I'm gonna recover one of my backups and see how that works. Brb...
Once you flash into Recovery
Go to:
- Install zip from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
- Scroll down to BootManager folder
- Select phoneRom and then click update.zip to get Phone Rom back
I have also flashed update.zip files from within rom1-4 when they were known good working installs and had them work as well.
Hello, first off apologies for being a stupid noob.
Here's a bit of background as to what happened to get my HTC One V stuck on the CyanogenMod startup spinning circle screen.
I unlocked my bootloader, I flashed ClockwordMod Recovery, I performed a backup of my stock rom, then I rooted the phone. All of this worked well to my knowledge.
Then I connected my phone and as per the instructions on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996761) and I extracted the boot image from the ZIP (I copied it out, it remained in the folder) and flashed that in fastboot. That seemed to go okay too. It was at this point I realised I forgot to put the zips for CWM10 and Gapps on my SD card....oops. I don't have an SD card reader and I couldn't find a way to access the SD card in the recovery (I tried mounting it from the menu but it didn't seem to do anything).
At this point I figured I really need to get the zips onto the SD card so I can finish the flashing process, but the only way I can get onto the SD card is to connect the phone to my computer, so I rebooted the phone and then became stuck on the HTC One V screen. I don't know the technicalities of it, but I then thought it was something to do with flashing the boot.img and then not following through with the rest, so I thought why not just reflash my stock rom from the backup I had made and start again.
So I went back into recovery, installed my backup from there and hoped it would work, but nope still stuck on the HTC One V booting screen.
Then I hada "brainwave", I'll put the SD Card back into my old phone (HTC Hero), connect to my computer, add the zip files, then put the SD card back into the One V and flash the boot.img again, then flash the CWM10 zips from the SD Card. This all seemed to work again, but no, I'm still stuck on the CyanogenMod circle loading screen.
Sorry for being so clueless, but I figure where I went wrong was forgetting to have the zips at hand for flashing when I needed them, then when I rebooted it without them I just messed something up.
Any help would be very much appreciated, I've managed to brick my Christmas present within an hour of getting it

I feel really stupid now, I must've forgotten to do the full wipe before I flashed CM10 again, schoolboy error! I'm up and running now. Just panicked. Thanks for your help and Merry Christmas!
