[Q] rooted evo... bricked evo... help!

got my evo about a month ago. rooted lastnight since unrevoked finally pushed out their 3.3 version which is updated for my version of hboot (2.02). the root went very smoothly. i installed the latest cyanogenmod rom, only to discover there was no market or gmail app with the rom! wish i had known that before. after doing some research online, i found out i needed to flash or install a "gapps" apk. so, looked around for that for a couple hours and couldn't find it. i downloaded what i thought would be the right .zip file to get the market on my phone (a vending.apk that was listed in another thread having to do with this same issue). so anyway... downloaded that, moved it to the root of my sd card, flashed it through clockworkmod recovery (by the way, everything up until this point was perfect) and finally rebooted my phone... only it never rebooted. the white htc EVO 4G screen was there. then, black screen, as if it was about to begin the cyanogenmod boot screen and fully boot. but, no. it went from white evo screen to black screen... to OFF. after this, i couldn't even turn it on to get it into hboot or access recovery. tried to do that for two hours. and finally i was able to get in... so i tried doing a factory/data reset through recovery, then a cache clear, then reboot. nothing. same thing. went back into recovery, tried reflashing cyanogenmod rom again. nothing. tried flashing myn's rom. nothing. all i get is installation aborted.
i am pretty sure that this is not a complete brick since i am now able to access hboot and recovery. but if i can't flash anything... and i'm stuck in hboot and recovery and cant boot my phone... what the hell do i do now? please help me figure this out!! anybody have any good advice or a known fix...??

Boot into recovery. Do a factory reset. then wipe cache and dalvik catch. Re flash cynagon and let it boot. You then need to find gapps.zip. Boot into recovery flashing gapps.zip.

i did all that. step by step. and when i reflashed the rom, that is when it wouldn't install, saying installation aborted. but, i'm gonna do it again. let's see if my phone wants to play nice now...

If that does not work! you are going to have to update with sprint lovers rom, that is in a PCM36IMG.ZIP. Install it by holding the _vol and th power button, boot into boot loader, than it will search for the zip file and ask you if you want to update, say yes ans just weigh for it to be done. Its going to take few minutes first boot! just hold on. I hope this helps in anyway.

do you think that sprintlovers rom will install even if no other rom will install? because... i was able to install Gapps.zip file just fine. but every rom i install is unsuccessful.

ok is the install through recovery supposed to be almost instantaneous? it didn't take a minute like every other rom. and after reboot (10 minutes ago) i'm still sitting on the white htc EVO 4G screen. i don't think this is working either. but i really do appreciate your help. any other suggestions? is there anything else through recovery that I can do (since i cant make it past that) that might fix my system? anything in partition? i'm so stuck!

and also... when i go into hboot, and it runs through the "checking sd" thing before i can select options... it says "no image or wrong image". what?

Nothing is working!!

Did you try a rooted RUU yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
Wipe everything twice first (just to be safe). Are you using Amon RA or Clockwork, by the way? The only other thing I can think of would be that your SD card isn't formatted properly, but that would have to mean you intentionally formatted it or put in a new one that didn't have the right files on it.

i am using clockwork. i've wiped so many times... but i can't make anything happen. and, i did format the sd card eventually, but not until a couple of hours ago... and only as a last resort because nothing else worked and i've been trying to fix this since last night, so i figured it couldn't hurt. but if that is part of the problem... how can i fix it? thanks for your response. i don't know what else to do other than take it in for a switch.l but if i can get into hboot... then sprint can too... and they will see that i'm rooted and void warranty. so am i completely screwed?

I had same issue.
I just reflashed the sprintlover rom (PC36IMG.ZIP) which came with Amon_RA recovery.
Then i installed the CM6 with Amon_RA recovery and everything works fine now.
Good that i did Titanium backup few days before

This is happening to me too. Almost everything he's describing is the same. Except I installed a gapps.zip and then it wouldn't boot after that. No matter what I flash, it either gives me a status 7 error and aborts the install or it may "install successfully" but it never boots. Also tried the pc36img.zip as well. I had a nandroid backup and tried to restore that, but that aborts saying cannot flash boot image. Tried a rooted and also an unrooted stock ruu, they won't work and the .exe version on a pc can't find my phone when I plug it in and power it on. Anyone have any Ideas for me. I can get more specific error messages and hboot numbers, etc. if needed.

I think you should get Amon recovery PCIMG zip file and change recovries and try everything again... IMO
Edit: I posted the Amon file and all you have to do is rename it to PCIMG.zip. Also I think the gapps you were looking for you can find on the cm site itself or within that thread. Sorry if it sounds like I a being negative but I see alot of people get on noob and I wondered why but unfortunately its because things like this happen. In the OP for CM6 it says to use Amon and backup your keys. Now if you get your phone backup you got to first check and make sure your RSA keys are in tact unless you backed them up already.
Joeykrim has a app on the market to check or there are numerous threads on what to do. Sorry and hope it works out for you if not INS is your friend

some people dont like clockwork with the evo's...thats just the general feeling im getting from the boards. i just got my evo rooted and what not. i use clockwork and it has worked well for what i need.

Yea but have you tried Amon and from what I read and this is from developers Amon has a much better handle on things as far as backing stuff up, partitions and protection of keys.
I ran Clockwork on my wifes phone because to me its simple and works with Rom manager but after a while I just said F it and switched since it was messing up my backups. Hey to each his own..

Ok, I don't believe that your device is bricked. You may have flash the wrong gapps or something, but is should be easy to fix.
First, download these 3 files and put them on the root of your SD card:
Cyanogen 6 stable for evo
Latest gapps for HDPI
Calkulin's format all
Red through first, then follow my instructions EXACTLY:
1.) Boot into recovery.
2.) Flash Calkulin's all format. This will wipe everything that needs wiping. (everything but the SD card)
3.) Without exiting recovery immediately flash the CM6 .zip. Do not flash the gapps yet.
4.) Reboot the device now. It will boot into cyanogen, but will not have market or anything. Once fully booted, reboot to recovery.
5.) Do not wipe or anything, just flash the gapps HDPI.
6.) Boot the phone and enjoy.

Evo won't load any roms, can only get into clockwork recovery
Okay, so if I try your steps, just like before The install gets almost to the end, then I get:
"assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.1.2-supersonic-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Sorry Playya, I wanted to try this one more time first. I'm going to try loading Amon Ra now. do I need to rename it to pcimg.zip or should i just flash the current file name?
In case it helps anyone, I have

it may say oops if you battery level is low... I think Amon is so much better its just that Unrevoked puts Clockwork in with their root so people get lazy and leave it in... Amon - its the way to go.
1. Charge your battery and try again
2. Backup your wimax keys - then check how big the file is and hopefully its like 12 megs... If so keys may be ok

Evo Loops At HTC White Screen - No Recovery

I know I've seen other people with this problem, but I don't think I've seen a fix but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Installed CM7 RC2 and everything works great for a month. Some random reboots but no big deal. Today I get a reboot but instead of reloading it hangs on the CM7 boot logo. I go into clockwork recovery, do a full wipe, and reboot. From then on, all I can do is loop in the white HTC screen. No ROM, no Recovery.
I've tried to flash Amon Ra recovery and a stock RUU via at PCImag file. No love. Any ideas?

DONT FLASH IT.
Put in root of sdcard, boot into bootloader, update, let it boot or boot into recovery.

He uploaded a recovery image in a PC36IMG, so it NEEDS to be flashed in the bootloader.

Ive had the same problem for two days now and have tried everything in the book it seems. Using fastboot or manually from the bootloader, every pc36img.zip fails with an error at (8) partition update failed! or remote : 51 partition update fail. I can get the newest ruu to get me stuck at the four triangle error and then I have to flash PC36IMG_AmonRA-v2.3-hausmod_revA.zip just to get back to the htc boot screen loop (which at least lets me get back to bootloader to start the vicious cycle again) . ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Heck, even any way to make it presentable at a sprint store would even work at this point (since it says s-off I'm guessing someone in the line of repair will realize its been rooted.
p.s. I have never had any problem with my phone and have flashed just about every rom out there and I always do a full wipe and usually a format_all too. This happened about two hours after I flashed Kings UNleashed Ultra Blakk R3 ( it just did a reboot on its own and its been in this mess ever since)

Once you've gotten back into recovery, specifically, amon RA 2.3, use the MS-USB menu and copy the contents of your SD card onto an external disk drive. Afterwards, use amon RA to partition and reformat your card. When you're done, copy only the Rom and amon RA (PC36IMG) file to your SD card. Shut down your device. Now while pressing the down volume key, press the power button to enter the hboot screen and pay attention to see whether or not you still have S-OFF. If you do not, you need to re-root. If you do, great. Reflash amon RA and afterwards, reboot into recovery and flash the rom.

Think we have different problems. Every time I try to flash something new it completes fine, but it still boot loops. Hell, yours might be fixable.
I've tried everything now with no luck. Everything updates and completes but has absolutely no effect on the boot looping. This is really insane and my advice to anyone would be to stop using CM7 immediately as it seems to be confined to that ROM.
If anyone else has had this exact problem please post, I want to get a tally of how many people are affected and try to find a commonality.

Bootlooping is caused by incorrectly flashing, or flashing something that the phone "doesn't like," whether it be a kernel, a theme, ect.

But my phone ran for a month without any problems except for some random reboots which seem to be common with this phone in general. I didn't add software or flash anything before this happened, it just happened. That seems to be the experience most people are having, the only thing in common is that they were running CM7 or had been running it recently and tried to flash to a different rom.
What software problem wouldn't be corrected by a successfully completed reflash with a stock RUU? That's the major question.

Hmm, that is awkward; at that point, I would just take it in if you're still getting random reboots. Been on CM7 for the longest and no random reboots on my end.

EXACTLY! and thus the reason I wanted the OP to follow the directions I gave. Being that he or she would have had a completely fresh recovery, a freshly partitioned & formatted SD card and only the rom on the card to flash, barring a mechanical issue, the only possible explanation would be a corrupted rom zip file or a corrupted nandroid backup if that is what was being used. Corruption happens. The OP should re-download a fresh copy of the rom, re-wipe and re-flash, at least in my opinion....

Try flashing amon_ra 2.3....place on sdcard, go into the bootloader, update,reboot, then try the bootloader. But before you do, select clear storage, which will do a factory reset, to see if that helps.

Already tried it, no dice. Goes through fine but then keeps bootlooping. On a side note, is there a way to get S-On through the bootloader since I can't access recovery?

You would have to download the RUU exe and then run the phone in fastboot while connected to the pc.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear . Days of reading every post in any thread I can find has left me running on no sleep. The huge problem is that no matter what recovery rom is flashed it wont let me boot into RECOVERY MODE. It flashes fine whether it is from the sd or through cmd using fastboot (Ive tried almost every version including the newest of both Amen RA and Clockwork). This gets me stuck in the white HTC screen boot loop. If I flash a RUU it will at least hang with a partition error and get stuck in the four triangle error, which will at least let you charge the battery so I can start all over again. Is there maybe a way to wipe the partition or reformat in fastboot as that is really the only thing working (regular adb wont detect). It seems a ton of people have been popping up with this same problem out of the blue the last few days.

[Q] Bricked INC!

I loaded a backup of CM7 and when it rebooted it went into a bootloop and I cant get into recovery. I've tried everything even flashing CWM again and also the stock ROM image. Still bootloop!
Please help

You didnt brick it, if you bricked it, it wouldnt start. You should still be able to get into recovery, by holding the power button and volume at the same time, and getting into Hboot, then go to recovery. Im also guessing it happened because you didnt whipe cache or data before you did this. First time i ever installed a new rom i got a bootloop,

Thank you for responding. I cant get into recovery it starts bootlooping once I select recovery. I tried loading the PB image of CWM and I also tried flashing the stock RUU. Cant get past HBOOT or initial bootloop. I CAN get into fastboot ADB though. Tried flashing a backup system.img, boot.img, data.img but boot.img said error

Your welcome, im not perfect at all this so excuse me a bit lol. So your saying when you select recovery, it boots up normally to the splash screen, or am i wrong? If your able to flash things them im pretty sure your able to get into recovery. Maybe also try another version of CM7? Transferring it to your phone.

No I select recovery in HBOOT and it goes straight to the white HTC INCREDIBLE screen and begins the bootloop process. I've pushed the CWM 3.0.0.8 in a pb13img file and still wont go into recovery. I cant get the phone past HBOOT

Thats really really weird that it wont go into recovery and it starts the boot. Hopefully someone can come with some extra assistance. It isnt bricked tho, i know that. So did you try formating data and cache then before doing anything either?

No I was busy and messed up. applied a backup without wiping data/cache. Came back to a powered off phone. Tried turning it on and it was bootlooping. I cant do anything now. Even if I can get S-ON i'll just get a replacement

There's a data wipe option in hboot, have you tried that?

Goto Doug piston's web site and follow the go back to stock. You should be able to put the stock RUU on the root of your sd card named pb31img (not sure the exact file name but it is on dougs site). When you load in HBOOT, it should recognize the file and install. If I am not mistaken, this will unroot your phone as well.
http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108
Pb31img file is there.

I tried the stock rom PB31IMG.zip and it continues to bootloop. If I cant get it fixed I want to at least get S-On

Probably aren't gonna be able to get S-ON cause that needs to be done in recovery..

what radio were you running
try flashing alternate recovery?
i also seem to remember there being a way to root through adb isnt there a way to unroot like that too?

I tried amon ra and a another one no difference. I also tried everything I could adb wise to flash different systems and erase everything. Im running the new GB radio

I may be wrong but I don't think you can apply the RUU with that radio installed. Go back to the stock radio and I think you may be able to flash ythe RUU successfully.

I got excited thinking there was a way to unbrick because of a step I missed. So I went to make sure the radio was right. I HAD the GB Leak 2.15.10.05.06
Right now in HBoot it shows 2.15.00.07.28

I know its not considered a brick because it still turns on but there is NOTHING I can do to get it out of bootloop or past HBoot

hmm new GB radio this has been happening with thunderbolt users to.....but in greater numbers.....I'd advise against using the GB leaked radio...

[Q] Problem flashing ROMs

Hello all. My girlfriends E4G(my old phone before I got me E3D) is having some issues.
Its hboot 6.17
TWRP 2.0
Any ROM I flash it gets stuck at the HTC EVO 4G logo. A few ROMs will boot once but once you reboot, it gets stuck at the HTC logo again. Her current ROM(Swag) is an older version, and shes wanting to "try something different" because she sees all the ROMs for my E3D.
When I had the phone, I didn't have any issues with flashing ROMs. I ran CM7 for a while, then Swag. This was MONTHS ago, so I'm not sure what changed since I switched to my E3D.
I've tried 7 different ROMs, I can't upgrade hboot or radios(the files I have downloaded here wont work with the PC36IMG. The boot loader sees it, then asks to reboot.)
What I want to do is completely return phone to stock, S-SON, install a stock Sprint software, run OTA to update everything(to the newest OTA), then re-S-OFF and figure out the best recovery to use.
I've tried following the S-On tool, but it didnt work for me. Maybe I'm missing something, but any help would be appreciated.

Scroll down to the facts. Follow the "is it possible to restore everything to stock" to the letter. Download that file to the SD card somehow and load up your boot loader. It worked for me. Best of luck.

You can simply flash the newer version of the twrp 2 recovery, or flash amon ra; it seems your recovery isn't wiping.

There may be a possible bug in TWRP so just update your recovery. There is a newer version released revently. Try that first.

why do you boot into the bootloader first?no multi-boot option?Anyway,it sounds like the CM7 rom you flashed is corrupted,It sounds like you might have to format your sd card and start over,or reload a new recovery from the bootloader.If you had a multi-boot option you might be able to solve this without formatting.

hey,
try doing a factory reset getting rid of any apps you currently have and try using the advanced power menu to boot into recovery if that doesnt work, try re flashing a different recovery. let us know how it goes from there!
Good luck,
Stevo

Just try reflashing the recovery, should solve the problem.

CWM is junk, for one. Switch to Amon Ra

What he said. Man, I just finished typing the same advice in a different thread. Lol.
Seems people coming from Samsung devices in particular tend to start with CWM. I'm not speculating on the OP here, just a trend I've noticed as of late.

I used CWM for my initial nandroid, after first rooting with Unrevoked, then flashed Amon. Anyway, as said try re-flashing recovery. Also, FYI, that "all Gingerbread Roms" was just for one device, the article was slightly inaccurate. I flashed the Beats audio zip myself but upon investigating in Roote Explorer saw that none of the files had actually written.

CWM is a great and sometimes better choice for a lot of phones, just not the Evo

I have not been able to get it to work yet.
I have been thinking about Wiping everything and starting from scratch again, but I am afraid that if I wipe I wont be able to get into the recovery and get screwed and not be able to re-flash C-Mod 7.
I will attach a video of wtf my phone is doing.
