Recently my phone was working fine until today. I was on mikfroyo 4.4 everything was fine until i decided to flash an unimportant file, when i reboot it my phone was doing boot loops, so i decided to wipe everything and flash a clean mikfroyo 4.4 again. it worked for a couple hours, later my phone started to freeze, i took the battery out and i got stuck on the white screen logo.. i tried to take battery out for a couple times and nothing.. i tired to go into recovery mode(amon-ra 2.2.1) and i could not get into recovery, it kept on freezing i was like WTF!! then i tried to go into bootloader and that worked fine, but when i choose to boot into recovery via bootloader it did boot into recovery but then it froze again in recovery.. So at the end nothing worked but bootloader.. then i decided to flash a ROM via bootloader (PC36IMG.zip) and that fixed all the problems temporarily (it did not freeze).. but then I notice that that was a stock unrooted PC36IMG file so i lost root and it put back the HTC stock recovery (NOT AMON-RA nor CLOCKWORK).. then the problems started again (the same from above).. but since i rooted my phone via unrevoked forever i had S-OFF.. so i flashed AMON_RA recovery via bootloader to see if I could flash unrevoked-forever-son (that way i could have S-ON and send it to sprint for a replacement) but again it kept on freezing on recovery mode.... so my question is is there anyway i can flash unrevoked-forever-son via bootloader.... that way i can send it to sprint and tell them that my phone keeps on freezing.
Nothing works but bootloader, everything else freezes (recovery mode and while trying to boot the phone)
I will apreciate your time and help.
Did you try running unrevoked son as PC36img.zip?, then the stock RUU. (doesn't sound like it could hurt, lol)
but what kind of files would i put inside pc36img?
You don't put anything inside the PC36IMG.zip file. It comes ready to go from the unrevoked team:
How can this be removed or undone if I need to take my phone in for service?
Download the latest ''S-ON'' tool to a temporary location and follow the installation instructions above to run it. Once your phone is S-ON, you may lose root permanently if you install an official update

- So go here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
- Find the section I quoted above
- Download the PC36IMG.zip file
- Put it on the root of your SD card
- Power off
- Hold vol down + power
- Once in HBOOT it will automatically find/ask to run the PC36IMG.zip file
- volia! s-on
I know, i understand that process but my problem is that i cant go into recovery AT ALL it frezzes each time neither to boot my phone normally... the only thing that works fine is bootloader.. so what i am trying to look for is a way to flash the s-on tool via botloader bc i can not go into recovery.
the pc36img contains the stock unrooted ROM - supposed to be flashed via bootloader (i have already done this process so i lost root)
and when you download the S-on tool it comes in a zip file that is suppose to be flash thru recovery not bootloader (and this will be my final step which is not done yet)

This is what i was looking for i hope you can find it!! !!!
I was looking for a way to have the s-on tool inside a PC36IMG.zip.. i didnt think it was possible
But isn't that process (PC36IMG.zip) only for things that suppose to be flash thru bootloader? like slpash screens, recoverys, boot.img? so in what category does the s-on tool fits?
I'm sorry for all this questions but i dont wanna make my phone worse then what already is.
I think your best bet is to hop on freenode and join channel #unrevokedtest
Easiest way to do this is here: http://webchat.freenode.net/
They'll be able to help you for sure. LazyDog and joshua_ are two good people to look for.
thank you man.. but nope is confirmed you can not put put the S-on tool into a PC36IMG.zip ima have to tell sprint that i lost it.

Did you talk to the guys on irc? Seriously, I've seen them preform some miracles.
PS. The chances of Sprint checking s-on/off is highly unlikely.
You can use the pc36img from amon ra's thread to flash the recovery and then use it to lock your nand. Afterward all you have to do is run the ruu one more time and you will be good to go
I agree with what was said before. The likelihood that they'll look at S-On is VERY small. I would just take it in, tell them its freezing all the time, and ask for a replacement. If by some crazy chance they do look at S-On, just play dumb and pretend you don't even know what it is. If you've got a cute lookin girl to help you that'd be willing to take it in, all the better
Otherwise, try running the RUU for your build number. We'll go from there if you still have problems.
I fixed it, it was all due to a ripped cable inside my evo I don't knw how that happened but it happened lol all I had to do was replace my screen.
And yea I did talk to guys from unrevoked.. they r pretty smart and understood my problem quick but were unable to help me.

Hi guys, I downgraded from stock 2.2 to 2.1 using the instructions here.

Which were reiterated here;

After the final step, with no errors, my phone rebooted and went directly to the bootloader. I've got BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, and POWER DOWN for options, and 3 skateboarding androids at the bottom. Nothing I do seems to get the phone to actually load the ROM. If go into bootloader, it wants to load the PB31IMG.zip again, and I read that that's a very bad idea to do twice.
Any help would be totally awesome, as I have a semi-brick right now.

If I am correct this happened to me yesterday and Berzerker7 told me to apply it again and it worked. Make sure that this is the same thread!!!! See my post yesterday below,

Apply it again.
yeah those aren't the instructions I followed because I'm still S-ON. Tempted to apply it again, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY do not want to brick the phone. lol.
Sorry....cant help ya then
Still having absolutely no luck.
I can't even get it to connect to my PC in recovery to push files over or anything.
Today has not been a good day...
You should be able to apply the pb31img.zip again and it should be fine. Just make sure your card is formatted fat32 and you should be fine.
There is always a risk, but to root and flash anything always has some sort of risk.

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:

you lost root, s-on
you can still start the bootloader so it's not a brick
need to get s-off before you can load recovery again and reflash your rom
have you tried the RUU? if it installs and defaults you then you can unrevoked to root

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.

Ack, sorry... didn't mention in previous post. I fired up windows to run the RUU (I don't trust wine to that stuff) but it couldn't detect the device.
I was running unrevoked3 in order to full root my phone (I think it was rooted, but not nand unlocked before - I was running the Fresh Rom and want to switch to cyannogen)
After unrevoked went through two root processes, and stated "this is a triumph," the phone rebooted again and got stuck at the HTC EVO 4G white screen.
Unrevoked states ""Flashing recovery. Do not touch your phone!" So, uh, I don't want to touch my phone.
What do? Should I just pull the battery and try again? or am I going to brick the freaking thing?
It's been on the white screen for a half hour now.
Just so you know, all you had to do was flash unrevoked forever through recovery.
I think it's fine to unplug or pull the battery. Afterwards, you may need to flash recovery, but other than that you should be fine.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Hmmm. Flashing the recovery should take next to el zilcho in time.
You stated that you possibly already had root user access on your evo, but you were not sure if you had unlocked nand. Then you tried to run unrevoked again to fully root.
I believe it's a bad idea to perform a root method which is designed to perform a full root operation as if your device was fully stock, on a partial root device.
As long as the process is only trying to flash a recovery you should be OK to pull the battery.
Here are my suggestions to continue:
- Find the AmonRa PC36IMG in his thread in the dev section. Place on root of SD card. Poweroff device - Reboot into bootloader and let the recovery flash.
- If this does not work, I would recommend running a 3.70 RUU (ONLY if you are on a 3.70 ROM) and retry the root process.
Hope everything works out.
If anyone else has something to add, please do!
The first time I rooted mine, the same thing happened. I was on the IRC Channel and a few guys were talking me through it, and one guy said just pull the battery nad reboot to Hboot and reflash recovery using Amon Ra (PC36IMG Version), which I did and it was no problem.
After going to unrevoked's IRC channel, and being directed to pull the battery and then follow these instructions (since i was already S-OFF): h.ttp://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=What_to_do_if_you're_S-OFF_but_can't_get_root (sorry for the broken link I'm not at the point where I can post them).
Everything seems fixed. Pretty sure that's about the same thing as what you said. Thanks.
do you have S-off or the NEWEST 2.3.3 OS?
If you are S-on and on 2.3.3 why the hell are you trying to run UNREVOKED AGAIN, you cannot gain root throught that method because it doesn't work with the NEW HBOOT.
If you have S-off DOWNLOAD AMON RA NEWEST RECOVERY and put it on your SD CARD
Pull the battery from your phone put the battery back in, HOLD VOLUME DOWN and POWER on the PHONE you will be in the RECOVERY screen now let the PC36IMG.zip install and you will regain THE FULL RECOVERY and be able to flash any rom you desire, if you need ROOT all you have to do is INSTALL the SUPER USER & BUSY BOX from recovery to have a fully rooted 2.3.3
OR After installing Amon Ra's Recovery Image, just flash the Deoexed 2.3.3 over your current 2.3.3 you will be deoxed and full rooted and you wont have to reinstall any apps or change your current arrangement

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?

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!?

Ok here it is, My son Never go s-off and we somehow got a ROM to install, Magnolia_2_0_Final, this one. Now he had revolutionary on it and unlocked. The fun part is, now he can't get into recovery, it just goes to a white HTC screen. We have tried to relock the phone and go back, and tried to do all the tricks of the forums, we are still stuck. I would like for some detailed instructions on how we can get this back if at all. If you could help that would great. Thanks.
It will help if we had more detail on what you exactly have done and how you are doing it.
First with the phone on go to your settings. Look under "POWER" setting and disable fastboot.
Then I recommend pulling battery and reinsert battery. Hold volume down and power button to access hboot. The go to recovery through that.
If you have root access the down load Rom manager from market place and make sure you have recovery installed. If not download and flash from Rom manager. From the Rom manager app you can reboot into recovery.

Recovery
We we have got into recovery and all is ok. We have updated SU and Clockworks. We are running Magnolia 2.0 *Sense 3.5, Android 2.3.5, Tweaks*, S-ON. The weird part is I have no idea how we got the rom on without S-OFF, but here we are. Now we have tried to just install the PH32IMG file and have had no luck with that. No matter what we have tried, all we get to is a loop of the boot screen.
Wait, did you unlock via HTC Unlock first? Either way, unzip the ROM zip, pull the boot image from it and follow the instructions in guide 6 in my sig to flash it in fastboot.
HTC Unlock
Yes we have it unlocked though HTC Unlock and still S-ON with the ROM. Now we just need to either be able to go back and get S-OFF so we can move forward. The problem is if we try to flash the zip from CWM, it doesn't work.
So you're going to need to go to htcdev.com and relock your bootloader. Then, follow attn1's guide to downgrade to 2.3.3, then run revolutionary. You can find guides for all of this online.
Won't turn back on after I relock it
The phone stays at the HBOOT screen and wont reset so I can't use adb devices at all because it won't see that it is plugged in. what do I do?
Coming from 2.3.5
Oh and I'm also coming from 2.3.5 if that makes any difference
I think you're gonna have to go back to S-ON a diff way. There's a thread in the general section on how. Follow it and then revolutionary s-off.
All Ideas have FAILED so far
Ok here it is, My son Never go s-off and we somehow got a ROM to install, Magnolia_2_0_Final, this one. Now he had revolutionary on it and unlocked. The fun part is, now he can't get into recovery, it just goes to a white HTC screen. We have tried to relock the phone and go back, and tried to do all the tricks of the forums, we are still stuck. I would like for some detailed instructions on how we can get this back if at all.
This is what I said to begin with. Now I thank anyone who could help in this situation. We can get into recovery, we have a rom with 2.3.5 sence 3.5, s-on, CWM, and we have tried all of the ideas so far. We need to know is there a better solution getting this phone back to stock and s-off.
