i have aman ra recovery. just got the phone three days ago and rooted it the next day with the unrevoked beta with no problems. i hadnt done any thing else to it, was doing a backup to check out some custom roms. its software 3.70.651.1 2.02 hboot.
this just happened with me.
running RA, Myn's RLS4, netarchy 4.3, hboot .97
tried flashing a fresh copy of RA...but its not working, either, now. it gets stuck on the white screen when trying to boot into recovery from hboot.
i ended up flashing sprintlovers and that worked for me. id still like to know what went wrong though. glad i had just got the phone so i didnt lose too much stuff. had to put all my contacts back on and reinstall a couple of apps
I had the same problem on my phone, but I didn't do unrevok, I did a full wipe which basically gave me a rooted PC36img, and when I reboot in AmonRA recovery I can reflash that PC36IMG automatically and send me back to stock, then you basically have to reroot, wipe data and reflash the rom..

I rooted it using simpleroot, and that worked fine, I could get into recovery, had superuser and all that, and then I was going to flash the latest cm6 nightly, and it hung at the splash screen, so I tried to get back into recovery to restore a nandroid backup I made (which is now mysteriously gone), but took me forever to get back into recovery, which I eventually did, wiped data, and installed WD-Slide 1.0.2 and now it's boot looping. I don't know what's wrong, but if someone can help, that'd be great
Read the rest of the thread for that ROM. Most people get stuck in a boot loop. Flash a different ROM.
Ah, thanks. I should have read through that, but I didn't think that that rom was the problem. I thought it was something I did in adb. know why the CM6 build would just hang at the splash screen though?
The nightlys aren't running right use eugenes version of cm6

Long story short:
Read up about losing wimax numbers or something if I only backup with clockwork, so I use Rom manager to switch to amon ra 1.8, every thing was fine showed the with under current recovery. So I entered recovery, well hboot screen? White screen options usb recovery reboot ect. Then I hit recovery like I have done before and it took me back to about the same screen maybe options rearranged. Tried a few times same result so rebooted all was fine and I figured I would switch back and try clockwork, no big dealer I would Google later. So I switched back, verifies in Rom manager under current recovery. Then I try again, same results. So rebooted and Google to no results finally decide to come here and hope for an answer. Before you ask I am fully rooted s-off double checked for the last few months, current Rom is Myn's warm rsl4 awesome Rom Myn's stuff is great and my phone is still working and running better then ever. This is a new problem nothing has changed except maybe a few games, nothing with root privilege or kernels, radios ect. I am on the latest (prior) to 3.7 radios and what not, this problem is much newer than any of my changes and I have backed up since then. Any help guys would be great, especially a solution where I don't need to redo my phone, I only planned on doing that for Myn's rsl5
New symptoms:
Can not backup with Rom manager, goes to bootloader and has the same outcome as the other attempts.
Updated Rom manager, it said new clockwork, tried to flash, came back with a error. Before I could switch from clockwork amon ra and back, now if my evo messes up or I need to update my Rom what do I do?
Spelling/grammar Nazi's please be kind, it is 4 something am and I am a stressed and tired mom

Not sure if you have tried this but it worked for me.. Uninstall rom manager completely and then re-install it.. flash clockwork first and then reboot into recovery from rom-manager.. if it loads.. reboot and go back into rom-manager and install amon-ra.. if it doesn't load reboot and flash amon-ra and try it that way... if that doesn't work and you're comfortable with fastboot or adb download amon-ra and follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
Hope this helps :/

I'm rooted, unrevoked; I'm currently stuck in a boot loop. I can not reach recovery. I can not get to my rom. I can only access bootloader.
So far I have taken these steps to cure my problem:
Ran RUU software in Windows (with and without sd card in evo)
Flashed RUU as PC36IMG in bootloader
Cleared Storage using fastboot in command prompt
Cleared Recovery and then Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork using fastboot in command prompt
Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed Sprint Lover's as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed eng-PC36IMG from Toastctfh's Old Root Tutorial as PC36IMG in hboot
Each of these methods flashed successfully as far as I can tell... yet I still go into an infinite boot loop.
Before the bootloop this is what I was doing:
I had the initial CM7 nightly installed for about 2 weeks. It was buggy, and a few days ago restarted and deleted all my texts, and desynced from google. On rebooting, google apps acted as if I had never ran the phone before - it asked me to enter google account info, etc, upon reboot.
I decided CM7 was too unstable and so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed CM6. When CM6 booted google apps was already on, before I had even flashed it! Anyways I figured I wanted to give MIUI a run, so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed MIUI. It ran fine for about two hours, and then rebooted out of nowhere... and never came out of the boot loop.
I'm really starting to sweat this as I have gone three days now without a phone. Does anyone have any ideas that may help me? Thanks.
hmm, you could flash recovery through bootloader i think

Nope, I can't reach recovery
idk what to say hopefully a expert drops by im sorry that i cant help
Maybe bootloops from having an older radio. Gb roms need the latest radios. You can get a flashable zip in caulkins thread
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

I had same problem, the radios messed my phone and was stuck in a boot loop and mess with my usb drivers as well so I couldnt charge my phone...i had to buy spare battery charger and flash different radio and rom through hboot
I'm pretty sure Sprint Lover's and RUU have the latest radios in them
You shouldnt be bricked and if you flashed an RUU, you wont have root anymore, nor will you have a recovery img. I would suggest running the RUU again. As long as it finishes without errors, you should be fine. Now, just a quick question, what are you seeing that makes you think you are in a bootloop??
Are you sure RUU removes root? I've RUU'd through my computer, as well as flashing an RUU zip as PC36IMG, and I still have S-OFF. If it would turn it to S-ON, that would be amazing.
your ruu file could be bad as well .. it happened to me once and had to redownload...for some reason it wasnt as big as it should of been
So I have my EVO rooted w/ unrevoked since last years launch. I have run Fresh ROM's up until about 6mon ago when I installed CM7 RC1, then 7.0, then 7.0.2. Last night I decided I wanted to try Synergy or Fresh again, so I updated Clockwork backed up the phone, then installed Synergy.
Everything went fine, wiped Cache/User/Dalvik, installed then rebooted. I was stuck at the Unrevoked splash screen, and about every 20seconds It would reboot and continue the cycle. I battery pulled went to Clockwork and Tried my Fresh ROM, did the same thing. Ok, So i said screw it, im gonna restore it. So I navigate Clockwork to the location i backed up to, then restore.
After a reboot, the unrevoked screen would just stay frozen forever, no ROM booting. So I still had my CM7.0.2 on the card that i flashed 5 months ago, and all be damned it worked back up and running in minutes, whew.
So this morning I am back at it, trying to install fresh again, and im going back throught the same unrevoked spalsh screen boot loop. Any help on figuring out what is wrong?

You cannot install synergy with clockworkmod. It must be installed with amon ra. This is stated in the original post of the synergy thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Ok I guess I didnt see that part about Synergy. Howerver I just tried to install the latest Fresh rom, and it was doing the same thing (rebooting at the Unrevoked Screen).
However I was able to flash to the latest Cyanogen 7.0.3 Stable for EVO, so until I find a solution, I guess I am stuck w/ that in the meantime.

I would still try flashing Ra Recovery and seeing if you can flash Fresh ROM.
Also it could be ur SD card. Alot of times its not partitioned right or what not. I know cm7 leaves SD card alone for most part.
free the dirk
The solution is to get Amon Ra, so you can wipe properly and partition your SD card properly
might wanna wipe boot as well...usually fixes issues in such cases.

Last I used CWM you could not wipe boot without a custom script (ie. Calkulins format all, or VR_Superwipe)

Amon RA recovery has that option under the wipe menu.
But then Calkulins format all or VR_Superwipe are good too. Gets the job done.
This is all very helpfull, I am going to try some of that in the next few days. I really didn't have any idea that SD partitions can effect the boot of a phone, Ill read about that as well.
Today I managed to get the Latest Stable CM 7.0.3 on my phone, but the experimental 7.1 wouldn't load, so I am going to stick with that. One of those things when you feel like you have read everything before you start upgrading, then you miss something and all goes to hell. Thanks for the help everybody.

Yes I know this. I use ra recovery. However the OP uses CWM which is why I assumed you were instructing her to do this with clockwork.

I have amon ra 2.3 recovery and I have noticed between the last 3 roms I flashed that even after FULL wipe, including all options from amon ra + superwipe file its not wiping everything completely because as soon as I reboot the phone, it starts back with the previous rom that I flashed.
For example: I had flashed R2R rom last night and today I wiped everything at least 3 times. then I loaded mikg 2.55 and I decided to go with something else today, so again, I wiped everything at least 3 X, rebooted the phone and it booted back up with previously loaded rom (R2R)... how crazy is this?
HELP PLEASE!

I hope your bootloader does not read S-ON at the top.
no it doesnt. thanks, it says S-OFF.
I actually reflashed amon ra and superuser file just to make sure theres nothing wrong.
Also can anybody clarify for me whats that CLEAR OPTION on HBOOT for?
actually it says CLEAR STORAGE
what is it for?
you know what I have realized. This started after I did a NANDROID RESTORE. Do you know if this has anything to do with it?
If all else fails I would back up SDcard then reformat and put all your SD stuff back and try to flash a Rom again.

I don't know the answer to your problem yet, but CLEAR STORAGE is just a factory reset of your current ROM. It wipes both DATA and CACHE.
yeah I tried that and all it does is wipe personal info which is NOT fixing my issue!!!
thanks ppl!! :\
What's your hboot and radio versions?
ive got HBOOT 6.16.1002 AND RADIO 2.15.00.05.02
I have never changed either one.
Hi, I was wondering if you ever got an answer for this? I am having similar issues. I haven't tried switching roms, just updating to a new version of Swag - but wanted to do a complete wipe. For whatever reason I still have several random apps still installed. I have run all the same wipes as you. Thanks.
Are you guys using sd-ext? Maybe its got stuff stored there also. Format that 2

+1 for sdext wipe. If you wipe cache, dalvik and userdata/factory reset and still have the same issue, though, then it might be the market that is doing it. I had that happen after switching back and forth between ROMs before as well. Turned out that the market was redownloading the last x apps right after syncing my Google account and opening the market the first time.
Do the recommended full wipe as stated above, flash ROM and do the first boot into it. When the setup wizard starts, just skip through setting up any accounts and see if it still happens. If not, sync Google account and check again.
If it is the market then it seems to go away after a while.
