Have you tried the boot image way? Download the boot image to the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader (Vol down+power) and then follow the prompts?

what is the boot image. i have tried running the PC36IMG.zip hundreds of times and it goes through and says
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] Boot - OK
[2] Bootloader - Bypassed
[3] Microp - OK
[4] Radio_V2 - Fail-PU
[5] Recovery - OK
[6] Splash1 - OK
[7] System - OK
[8] TP
[9] TP - OK
[10] Userdata - OK
[11] Wimax - OK
Partition update fail!

and i do this every time and it still doesn't work.

Are you actually trying to unroot your phone or what? I get the stock Sprint part, but do you mean you want to go back to just a Sprint rom that has root or do away with root?

no i want to keep the root with the htc evo stock sprint rom with the sense ui.
but if need be i can loose the root to get it back and then reroot it later. i want to build my own custom rom is way i want to get it back to the way it was when i first got it. im just stuck in the bootloader and cant seem to load any image.

There are a number of basic stock rooted roms available in the dev section. Just download one of them and flash it through recovery. Be sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache beforehand though. Another method you can also use is to flash a rom using rom manager. Rom manager is fairly easy to use and mostly foolproof.
Edit: Also, if you used unrevoked for the nand unlock instead of toast's method, there's a good chance you don't have the eng bootloader installed. Your rom flashing success rate may increase if using the eng bootloader.

[FIXED] Help!Cant flash any recovery images

Ever since I updated to the last OTA I have lost clockworks recovery image. Thus now I am unable to install the latest froyo rom.
I have tried to install the latest clockworks recovery image and Amon_Ra recovery through Rom Manager. Each time it states it is installed but everytime I try to boot up to the recovery image it gives me the following error:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
and it just gives me the Android System Recover <2e>
Any help would be appreciated....
It sounds like you are not rooted.
If you accepted the OTA from Sprint using your system update on your phone, you are no longer rooted and will not have a custom recovery/root permissions. You will be unable to flash any custom recovery/ROMS/delete any sprint apps/Other Root only things until someone comes up with a way to root 2.2.
Have a drink in hopes that a dev will come up with a way to Root 2.2 soon!
I didnt update over the phone
What happened is I installed a rooted verson of 1.47.651.1 but in doing that it got rid of the recovery image... it definetly a rooter version because i can run apps that require root.. such as wife tether titanium back etc...
any other suggestions...

there's an update.zip around here somewhere that will allow you to boot into an early form of clockwork recovery.
so, assuming that you goofed something, but still have nand unlocked....
find that update.zip. put it and a .zip for a real recovery onto your sdcard. boot into hboot, let it run the update.zip, that will take you to koush's early clockwork recovery. use that recovery to flash a solid recovery.
done.
alternative method would be to use fastboot to erase the recovery partition, then put a new recovery in.
Here is the update.zip...Just extract Recovery.zip....Do this OR/AND what the Senior Member above said and you should be good

I actually tried the update.zip one already and it doesnt install... it will stated that the signature cant be verified and it will about the installation... havent tried the fastboot approach... I guess I will need to find out how to do that now
so from the looks of it I am screwed... I have hboot .79 if that matters and from the looks of it the rooted rom i installed screwed up my nand unlock.. which is why i think i can install any recovery images... i tried alot of the nand unlock tutorials and most of them I eventually get to a point were i need to write to /data and i cant because permissions are denied... great... oh well i'll keep on trying... any suggestions are appreciated...
If you still have super user, try this...same thing happend to me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744621&page=4
I'm having a very similar problem also. My Hboot is 0.79.000 too & after trying clockworkmod recovery, a few RUU update attempts, and attempting to change ROMs completely (not in that order) I'm at a loss, no success anywhere. I can't even get in to recovery anymore. It just reverts back to Bootloader menu where my options are Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, or Power down (& I think there is one other option that i tried and sent me back to the aforementioned screen). However, I can still load my pre-existing ROM...
Does anyone have any ideas if there is anything I can do?
TIA

you can erase recovery from rom manager and try to reflash. i would recommend reinstalling rom manager just to make sure it installed correctly. it installed bad on me once and corrupted my recovery trying to update it, reinstalled and installed an old recovery then the newest one and it worked.
Thanks for the suggestions all. I followed the instructions from link you posted using terminal emulator. No such luck, still reading HBOOT 0.79.0000 and running same ROM.
I also tried reinstalling (several times) clockworkmod recovery images and it effects nothing.
Should I try to completely unroot my phone again? If the images i just flashed didn't do it what will?
Im totally at a loss here. ARG!
hit there jtwonbly.......are you also running the stock rooted 1.47.651.1?
Build number 1.47.651.1 CL195459 release-keys
yea same here......and what is it that your trying to do...go back to stock ROM?
I'd like to go to any other ROM. Its as if I'm no longer rooted anymore.
I think I may try to start all over again using NeckFaces old tutorial on unlocking NAND w/o adb. I'm just not sure if that will fix the HBOOT file because I can't get in to Recovery.
OK Guys thanks for all your help but I have been able to get it fixed now!!!
I pretty much had to redo all of Toast Root tutorial and NAND unlock to get it working. Both Part 1 and Part 2 even though I was already running a rooted rom.
The original problem I had is I kept getting told to just try the nand unlock in part 2 but the phone wasnt having it. It wouldnt like the engineering build of the pc36img.zip
So I started from Part 1. Downloaded the rooted rom pc36img.zip and what do you know it finally let me install it. By the time I was done with both parts 1 and 2 I was able to flash a recovery image, get back to hboot .76 and I am now another proud owner of an Evo running a rooted Froyo!!!!

[Help!] Need to regain root ...

Firstly, I'd like to apologize if this info is already somewhere on this forum or the web but I've searched endlessly since yesterday trying to find an answer to this.
The gist:
- Rooted evo using unrevoked3
- Stock info: hboot .97; radio 2.15.00.09.01; kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
build 3.29.651.5; pri version 1.77_003; prl 60670
- Flashed CM6.1.1 rom > tried to flash to a myn rom and had issues flashing going through ROM manager or through bootloader, screen kept freezing on white screen
- Somehow it came to be that the phone would endlessly loop on the bootloader screen and I couldn't get the CM6 rom to load either
- Ended up using a RUU (Supersonic_WWE3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.4044signed)
- Now the hboot is .93 and bootloader shows S-OFF but I dont have root access for some reason. I've tried doing the unrevoked3 process but even after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and that whole process the unrevoked3 program would not recognize my phone being connected to the computer and in device manager it showed my phone as a portable storage device instead of under android phone like the first time around
I have no idea what to do to regain root so I can flash roms on it again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Try reloading factory settings then go through root process.
Then flash a ROM using ROM manager (its what I use).
Or just load into bootloader and install .zip from there. Another easy way to flash new ROM.

Can You get into Recovery? If so do a Restore of the CM6, then do a factory reset. Then Flash Myns

Stuck on boot screen! Help!

Hi!
I bought a Desire HD a week ago and today I decided to try one of the custom roms. I rooted it with Visionary+, turned s-off with the one-click tool found in another thread, installed Rom Manager and Clockwork mod and then flashed it with a custom rom from the recovery/boot screen without wiping anything.
The problem is, when I later tried to install another rom, it wouldn't boot, it's stuck on the HTC boot screen. I've tried reflashing it, wiping everything there is to wipe and I even tried RUU but it won't recognize the phone. Can anyone help me how to restore to the normal stock rom?! I can bring up the Clockworkmod recovery menu if I take out the battery and put it back in.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this! Consider that I'm a noob though so try to write the instructions as simply as possible
Hi, I'm basically in the same boat (I take it you tried one of the stable CM6 builds?).
Digged through an awful lot of stuff, found something about downgrading clockwork.
Maybe this'll help you, I'm still having trouble.
I've found an older clockwork recovery image, gathered all the SDK bits and pieces, got my USB drivers set up after even more digging - now this:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
It's rooted, S-OFF, all that good jazz. Halp. :<

Which version clockwork mod are you using? And what is the ROM you tried to flash?
Sometimes custom ROMs can take 5 minutes to boot...so give it some more time and see if that helps.

seems like your pc is not recognizing your phone. And should not you flash the recovery first and then boot?
I did flash the recovery via Rom Manager, which gave me Clockwork Recovery version 3.0.0.5.
Then I had Rom Manager download CM6, it rebooted the phone, phone gets stuck in HTC splash screen.
According to the thread I linked above, I needed to downgrade Clockwork Recovery, hence flashing 2.5.x.x via command prompt.
The drivers are installed correctly, I'm at least sure of that.
Recovering my previously backed up stock ROM won't get me further than the splash screen either, same with wiping everything that can be wiped before that.

Then use ROM manager to downgrade the CWM to 2.x. You can do it under the option "All recoveries" in ROM manager. People are reporting problems with the latest version of CWM. Check if you get the same if you wipe everything and install another custom ROM.
Can't find a way to even get past the first splash screen - only thing I can properly access is the Bootloader.
Same here. When I boot I just see the initial "HTC" logo, nothing else.
I had Mike's Revolution HD ROM installed and working just fine, and then I tried to install another mod, which got me to this situation.
I have CWM 3.0.0.5 and I have a nandroid backup of the working system from before installing the last mod.
I tried recovering the nandroid, which goes smoothly (including the MD5 validation of the backup) but it still doesn't boot afterwards. I wiped the boot, system and data partitions and tried restoring again - same result.
I assume my next step is to flash a new ROM but unfortunately I don't have any ROMs on my SDCARD, so I need a way to push it there. I tried with fastboot but it doesn't recognize a partition called "sdcard". I believe adb should work while I'm in CWM but it just says "error: device not found".
Any suggestions?

Sorry, no idea which version, but it's the default that comes with Rom Manager. I downloaded Rom Manager yesterday so I guess it's the most recent Clockwork mod.
Left it for 15 minutes, still nothing. I used Android Revolution HD 2.0.11 for the first flash which worked and then when I tried to install Pays-ROM HD Sparta 1.0 I got stuck on the boot screen. I've tried recovering from the previous backup I made on the recovery screen with no result.
Just got mine back alive
Flashed CWM 2.5.1.3 and restored the nandroid with it.
Spending the last few hours searching the forums my best advice is to avoid 3.0.0.5
Went a different approach - finally figured out that you could mount the sdcard via Clockwork Recovery, threw newest CM7 nightly on there and installed it with Clockwork as well.
CHRIST that was a pain in the ass... and I thought downgrading the stock ROM was annoying.
as a rule i have found out cwm3 is for flashing gingerbread and cwm2 is for froyo

[Q] Can't get past boot screen

Hey all,
I was trying to flash CyanogenMod to my phone a couple days ago and I followed the procedures in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960323, and this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Incredible:_Full_Update_Guide.
As far as I know I did everything correct up to installing CyanogenMod. I already had done the unrevoked root, as well as install clockwork recovery. I used ROM Manager to update clockwork before trying to install Cyanogen, and then I used ROM manager again to try to install CM. And then it started to do its thing, but when it was done, it had booted straight into what I had before.
What am I doing wrong? I've considered trying to unroot it and start from scratch so to speak but whenever I use recovery or factory reset from the HBOOT it sits at the white "HTC Incredible" screen forever, and then doesn't accomplish anything.
Its bc ur using the newest recovery i assume tge rom u flashed isnt compatible...try going to a 2.x recovery, the new recoveries arent compatible with a lot of roms

[Q] doubts :flashing back a stock rom (eclair)

I recently gained root over my wildfire using revolutionary ... now while this process I did a stupid thing that I didn't backup by stock rom... now I am running Cm7.0.3 stable (has some glitches) & I want to go back to stock Rom but I have some doubts
Suppose if I flash a ruu.exe of stock eclair will I loose my root & s-off ?
Simply put will my phone be deprived from flashing further Roms ?
*please ignore any spell errors...was typing from phone.
Thank u!!
Some RUU's have a new HBoot and some don't, look for a safe RUU without HBoot and you will keep s.off and Root.
i want to get s on again for that i need to flash ruu but if i flash a RUU with hboot flashing goes perfect or not ??
anything like brick or something like that is not gonna happen na??
Just choose the right RUU and everything will be alright.
will this work...?
will the below work?
RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_India_1.25.720.1_Radio_13.45.55. 24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe
Please Rep...
Flashing the RUU will remove your root and Custom Recovery (Clockworkmod), but it will NOT touch your modified S-OFF HBOOT. Thus, it will remain at 6.01.1022 even after flashing an RUU.
pls confirm...
So it means that if I flash this ruu I will have to root my phone once again b4 flash a custom rom?
If that's right please suggest me (give me a link to download) a stock eclair rom which will retain my root, s-off & hboot so that I don't have to root once again to flash a new custom rom.
please please Rep...
Thank u!
The stock Eclair ROM's links have died unfortunately (And I dont have a backup of that myself)

But you can get a Stock Froyo ROM which will retain root here (Download the Rooted Version):

problem with flashing rooted Froyo Rom
After I downloaded the rom & tried to flash it with Rom manager it started & after the progress bar reached about 25% ...phone restarted & after that it shows the htc boot animation (quietly brilliant) & later within 15-20 sec it again shows the same boot animation & this process keeps on repeating (but the phone doesn't restarts)....what should I do ?
I'm stuck...buddy pls help
waiting 4 ur reply....help...help
Thanks..
Power off your phone, then restart in bootloader / HBoot mode (Press Vol Down + Power Simultaneously), then browse to Recovery and select it to enter Recovery mode. Here, perform a data wipe / factory reset, then flash this file:

This will give you temporary Clockworkmod 2.5 (Same as in ROM Manager), then try flashing that Stock ROM again
how do I flash this update.zip ?
how do I flash this update.zip ?
pls rep

Same way you flash a ROM, In Clockworkmod Select Install Zip from SDCard then select that zip file.
No Need for that...
Hey man u saved my ass...
as soon as I went to recovery...phone restated automatically into clockwork mod... I did what you said (wiped data/factory reset)...& the phone restarted with Froyo...like magic...
I was going to be hung till death by my mom & dad if anything wud hv gone wrong...thanks to you
A Million Thanks...
so....
so now still i can use the Clockworkmod recovery to flash custom roms in future right ?
---axxo----
Yes, you can. What you have at the moment is a Stock Froyo ROM, but with all root, Clockworkmod, and S-OFF intact, so you can switch ROM's, kernels etc anytime you wish to.
