[Q] Having BIG problem, need help!

Okay, so earlier today I rooted my evo and flashed the CM6 ROM. A little later I tried to install Google apps.
I followed a tutorial on youtube on how to install gapps using rom manager.
Now my Evo is stuck in the Clockworkmod recovery screen and when I click reboot system now it reboots and goes back to the clockworkmod screen. I tried wiping data/factory reset and then re-installing the CM6 ROM, it did not work.
I really need some help here, I'm not too experienced and I don't want to brick my Evo. How do i fix this?? I am freaking out. Thank you!

I use AmonRA recovery personally and flash everything through recovery. I had too many problems when I tried flashing things through Rom Manager app. Do you have a nandroid backup? If so install the backup and then boot into recovery and reinstall CM6 and gapps back to back in the same recovery session. If no backup, download PC36IMG that corresponds with your hboot version and put it on the root of your sd card. Boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power at the same time. It will scan the sd card for PC36IMG and then verify it. It will then ask you if you want to update. Select yes and let it do its thing and then when it asks if you want to reboot select yes. This will put you back to stock and may unroot, so you may have to do the root procedure again. Then install CM6 and gapps in same recovery session.
Before all this try wiping cache and davlick cache and reboot. If that doesn't work try powering off phone through clockwork and then boot into bootloader. It will scan for PC36IMG and not find it then you will have options to boot into different things. Select recovery, and it will boot into Clockwork. Wipe cache and davlick cache and reboot. See if this works. If not you will have to nandroid or go back to stock probably unless someone that has had this problem and comes along to help you fix it. Always wipe cache and davlick when installing something new like gapps or kernels and full wipe when installing a new Rom, unless you are updating a Rom then just Davlick and Cache.
As long as the phone turns on it is not bricked.

Where can I download the pc36img? Also, it seems that when I try to wipe dalvik cache, it doesn't do anything.

If you are having issues getting the img on your SD card, if you have a card reader handy just use that to transfer it over

I did find the correct one for my hboot version, but another question I have is do I need to flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip since I rooted using unrevoked 3.32? Or do I just put the PC36IMG on the sd card and flash it? Thanks.

Okay, I seem to have gotten it back to stock. Thank god, thought I lost my evo for a minute! Thanks to those who helped me out, its 4:45 in the morning and now I can finally go to bed! ;]

LOL glad ya got it back.. Yeah thats where I was heading before I seen your post..Its 5:46 am and Im not sure how many Evo people are actually on at this time so...anyway nite

I stayed on to help as long as I could, but had to go to work. Sorry I couldn't be here to help with more questions. Funny I was just getting up for work and you guys were just going to bed.
Glad you got it fixed for now. Remember to flash CM6 from recovery and not Rom Manager. Also, flash Gapps from recovery and not Rom Manager app. Flash CM then gapps and reboot. Make sure you do a full wipe first though. You could also look for Calkulin's tools thread in Dev section of EVO forum and find his wipe all zip. You just flash it like any other zip but it formats data, cache, boot and system partitions so that when you flash a new ROM nothing is left over from old one. Good luck my friend and happy flashing.
PS. I don't think the stock rom would give you s-on since you already had s-off, so you should be good to go. I could be wrong, but as long as you still have a custom recovery and s-off you should be good to flash any Rom.

Boot Loop With No Back Up

So i was trying to install something on my phone and forgot to make a back up. Phone is stuck in boot loop any idea for a solution. I would love to have my phone running again lol.

Take out battery. Put it back in. Boot into hboot by pressing power and volume down button simultaneously until you see hboot screen. From there boot into recovery. In recovery go into mounts and storage and mount SD card to PC. Download any Tom and move it to SD card. Then unmount from PC and then unmount SD card on phone. Go back to main recovery menu and flash the Tom zip after wiping data, cache, dalvik. Reboot.

The only thing I'd add from recent experience is to use a ROM that you know should be compatible with your Clockwork Recovery. I tried Incredibly Re-Engineered Z with CW 3.0.0.5 and got a boot loop (looks like issue has been fixed in the ROM). But since it was my wife's phone and I needed a ROM by the morning, I tried Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo but it didn't install. I found that I had to downgrade my CW to 2.5.1.2 and everything installed perfectly.

CM7 boot loop

I am new to the EVO (experienced Galaxy user). I was helping a friend and I installed CM7. It booted fine, but didn't have gapps (one I had which I mislabled and is for a galaxy). So I installed what I downloaded and now I have the infinite boot loop. I have CWM 2.6 from unrevoked and access to the SD card. I have wiped cache data and wiped back to factory setting in CWM. Didn't help. Can somone please help?

Download the PC36IMG.zip for amon RA v2.3 and place it on the root of your SD card and flash it via the bootloader. Afterwards, boot into your new recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card and then flash the rom. That *should* take care of the bootlooping for you.

Thanks I did that and it worked. My friend then decided based on screen shots that he would like to try miui, so I installed that.

[Q] Clockwork recovery image missing sd-ext

Here's the deal. I got a new 16GB sd card, copied everything over (including hidden files) and it worked fine for about two hours. Then the screen went black but the LED and soft buttons stayed lit. I did a Clockwork recovery (with a version that I've used successfully before) but it couldn't find SD-EXT so it would boot up to the red Droid "eye" thing (right before loading the homescreen) and then just keep showing that animation.
So I put the old card back in, tried again, and it still couldn't find the SD-EXT file so I've got a phone now which is stuck at this animation.
My question is, can I just boot into Clockwork and install Cyanogen (because I couldn't find a DINC custom recovery file anywhere) from a zip on the SD and have everything start working again? Don't want to mess it up more than it already is.

Unless you have made an SD-EXT partition, it will give that "error" in recovery. Its not actually messing anything up. I'm not sure why its bootlooping but you can try wiping data and cache then reboot or you can download a zip from www.dougpiston.com to take your phone back to stock.

I actually discovered that in further research after I posted.
Clearing the cache was a no-go so of DP's site should I go with PB31IMG or with one of his recovery images? I'm think of going with the one with CWM 2.5 on it.

I would try either doing a complete wipe and reflash of whatever rom you choose or you can use the PB31IMG.zip to get back to stock and flash a rom from there. Make sure you're doing a complete wipe as well (wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache) and do it manually in recovery, not with rom manager.

[Q] How do I fix my phone when it is stuck on the cyanogen mod screen?

After power my phone on and getting passed the Evo 4g screen my phone get stuck on the cyanogen mod screen. My phone was rooted thru revolutionary. I have no access to the computer that my phone was rooted on. Can my phone be fixed?

You need to list the steps you took for us to help. What were you flashing? Did you wipe anything before you flashed? How long are you staying on the CM screen before pulling the battery?
Also take a look at this. Probably needed to do this first.

You're stuck in what is commonly referred to as a boot loop. I would boot into recovery through the bootloader menu and try wiping Dalvik cache and data. If you're using ClockWorkMod recovery, I'd swap to something else, like Smelkus or another Amon Ra-based recovery. CWM and the OG EVO don't always play well together. I'll be happy to walk you through the steps to do what I've listed above if you need it.
Also, if you can get into recovery and have a ROM on your SD card, you might try re-flashing the ROM. Just make sure you wipe before you flash (I always wipe after flashing, too).

This, and remember that it may take quite a while for CM to boot up after first flashing so don't get too anxious.
