Ok, I am having a MAJOR ISSUE. On OMJ's ROM. I'll probably re-post tomorrow morning, because I need help. I downloaded the new ROM using ROM Manager. Then I cleared off the storage using clockwork, and flashed the new ROM from the phone. The market was broken, and Titanium wasn't working. Then I tried re-wiping so that I could restore my backup, and from clockwork it said that the backup was having an error. Now I can't get out of the fastboot screen. When I hit reboot, the phone boots into fastboot... Can someone please help?
When I turn on my phone, I have the white screen with the skateboarding android robots at the bottom. At the top is green words starting in SUPERSONIC.
My options are:
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
Power down

this doesn't belong in the development section. should be in Q&A.
but, turn off your phone and hold the volume down key and the power button. you should get the skateboarding androids but your bootloader should have an option to go to recovery. not sure exactly what you did, but once you get into recovery just flash another rom.
Sorry bout the location. It goes into the damn clockworkmod recovery screen when I do this. When I go to install zip from sd card, and choose the omj one, it just kinda skips over it, the screen goes back to the menu like it did do something, then I hit reboot, and I'm back on the skateboard screen. Gawd I hope I didn't brick it.

OMG, I did what you said, and I cleared it twice more, and it let me flash! Now should I go back into the recovery menu and clear my factory settings, and wipe dalvik etc to be sure?

if you already cleared your data and did a factory reset then you're set. just flash a rom and you should be good to go.
it's not a brick if your phone turns on btw.
I'm not sure if it works for the evo or not but try connecting to the computer and typing fastboot oem boot
That should reload you to where you were.
Then once your in your phone, just start from a clean slate by re rooting and copying the pc36img from toast tut. And running that.
BTW. Sorry if I sound drunk. It's because I am. I'll fix my post tomorrow if i read it.

If u made a clockwork backup reboot doing down and power buttons. Go to partitions., mount sdcard and plug your phone in to computer.. put a rom on the root of your sdcard,. Hit unmount sdcard,. Hit power,. Install zip from sdcard,. Then volume up once and you should see the rom zip you put on the sdcard, . Hit it and u should be all good from there..

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I just updated my phone to the latest OTA Rooted ROM and everything was working fine. Then I used Rom Manager to download the latest Fresh 3.0.?? ROM. When it downloaded it asked if I wanted to backup ROM and wipe data. I checked both on. Then phone rebooted and it wont get past white HTC Evo4G screen. I did vol down and power and I go to Recovey and again it freezes on this screen. I cant access my sd card to put any recovery stuff on the phone. How do I get past this?? This sucks

I had the same issue this morning loading the new Fresh Rom. "Stuck at White HTC EVO" screen. Just do a battery pull to restart your phone and let it boot up normally. It should be able to load after that.
Thanks a lot fuzion. I could have sworn I tried that last night but I guess I didn't. So I guess no Fresh ROM ?? Anyway to get it on ?
You could try loading one of the PC36IMG zips on your sd using an adapter to go back to stock and start over
Well I got my phone back on and working with the 2.2 OTA rooted back the way it was. I go into ROM manager and I made sure to do the ClockworkMod Recovery install. When I turn on the phone with vol down + power I select Recovery it just freezes on the Evo 4g screen. Never takes me to the recovery menu like I used to have. Anyone have any idea why??
Let's do a checklist:
1. Full root including NAND unlock (i.e. NOT Unrevoked)?
2. Installed and re-installed latest ROM Manager, and then latest CWM?
3. Copied Fresh 3.1.0.1 to root of SD card?
4. Booted into recovery using either CWM option or power+volume up?
5. You don't have an old PC36IMG.zip on your SD card, do you?
6. If you can get into recovery, do all your flashing from there, and DON'T FORGET to do data, cache, and dalvik wipes.
7. If all else fails, maybe use CWM to flash Amon RA instead and try that way.
8. If all THAT fails, go back to toast's guides and re-root everything.
Other long shots: Install Titanium Backup and use that to install BusyBox. I have no idea if this would help, maybe it's totally unrelated. Also, you could use an app called Quick Boot to reboot into recovery, but if selecting the reboot option from CWM doesn't work, I don't know why QB would.
And one more thing: Don't be throwing the term "bricked" around when you're clearly not even close to bricked.
Hi all,
I'm about to flash a new ROM, I performed the nandroid backup.
Now when I power on with the volume down, it goes straight to a screen that says 'FastBoot' highlighted in red, and then my options are Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down. I have tried doing it manually, as well as doing it with 'Rom Manager'. If I'm about to go to a new ROM, is this right? I have just downloaded the new rom to the SD card, but can't get to the screen where I tell it which rom to select. How do I make it do this?
When it first comes on now, with the volume held down, it goes straight to 'FastBoot', when I select Bootloader, and then 'Recovery', it goes back to the 'FastBoot' screen...
EDIT: Forgot to include the details. Running a stock evo, haven't loaded a new ROM before. I have root access through unrevoked. I was able to access the Clockwork Mod just the other night to perform the backup, etc. Now, however, it won't let me. I'm betting it's something silly that I did, or one of the programs is stuck in 'Fastboot only' or something like that. But, I don't know where I would have selected that... HTC Evo, Android 2.2. Lastly, whatever I select in the 'FastBoot' program (either Bootloader, recovery, fastboot, etc) it will only reboot into 'Fastboot'.
EDIT 2: I should also add that the phone is loading up and working fine, it just won't let me get into 'recovery'
What am I doing wrong here?
Can I still change ROMS?
Thanks!!!!!
What recovery were you using? Find its thread and reflash your recovery.
Support TrevE !
nothing's dead, your recovery just isn't working.
You need to install a recovery - either ClockworkMod's recovery (which is what I am assuming you're using) or TeamWin's, or an Amon-RA/clone.
Get that fixed, then go about your merry way flashing
What?? How did u nandroid if you can't flash a Rom... Just try power and vol up not down.. select bootloader hit power then.. select recovery power ..
In recovery wipe data wipe cache then restore nandroid backup
Are u rooted via unrevoked or revolutionary? In Rom manager choose flash cwm recovery then select manual reboot Into recovery
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
yes, I have run a ClockworkMod recovery through ROM Manager. I have also run a Nandroid backup through ClockworkMod recovery. I am worried that if I try to select that option, it will try to reboot through 'Recovery', but be unable to reach it. Then, I might be stuck in a loop.
So, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Rom Manager and QuickBoot, nothing changed. In 'Rom Manager', I have an option to 'Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery', which I haven't tried. I have tried Reboot into Recovery, which takes me into my 'fastboot' loop that I mentioned before.
So, from what you're telling me, what will happen if I select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'? Will it just flash the recovery there? or will it start the recovery process, then try to reboot into recovery mode (which it can't get to) to finish the process?
Sorry for so many questions. Just would rather ask before I try it so as not to have a really pretty paperweight of a phone...
THANKS!!!

Sorry, this reply came in while I was answering the other questions....
When I ran the nandroid backup, I wasn't having any trouble getting into Recovery. This inability to get into recovery just started. I am rooted with unrevoked v2.
If I can't get into recovery, and I select 'Flash CWM recovery', is part of that process of flashing the recovery going to try to reboot into recovery, then not be able to get to recovery and get me locked into a loop? or will it just flash right there and then I'll be able to power down and get to recovery like normal?
So after reading the other comments, I guess what I need to know is, what happens when I select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'?
Does it just flash from within the program, while the phone is still turned on?
Or
Does it start the process, then attempt to boot into recovery to finish the process?
If it does the first option, then I might be ok to do it. If it does the second, then I'm worried that to complete the process, I might be stuck as it tries to get into recovery that's not available....
Any thoughts from someone who has done this? What happens when you flash CWM Recovery?
Thanks!

Download that file. Rename it PC36IMG.zip. place it on the root of your sd card. Power off your phone. Hold the power button and volume down at the same time. If your phone boots into fastboot select boot loader, otherwise it will boot into bootloader and begin the update. Your phone will prompt you to install the update. I believe it will say hit volume up for yes or volume down to no. This will reflash your recovery.img. After this happens you will have a recovery installed.
Great. Thanks! So, after I do that, then I will be able to either (1) boot into recovery, which I can't do now or (2) just boot the phone as I normally do until I flash the new rom?
thanks so much! I'm learning so much about this from you all.
flashing cwm from from manager won't reboot to recovery till you choose to but will install cwm recovery that app was built to help facilitate the recovery install with ease in mind don't worry

hello all, my first post.
I have incredible, rooted, with cyanogenmod 7. it has been working as normal for months and months. the other day, it just got stuck in the boot animation. i hadn't changed anything, system tweaks, etc, right before this.
i hold volume down and press power, and it goes to bootloader mode. normally here, i can select RECOVERY, and then goes to the black screen, where i could do many things, drastic as wipe the phone, reinstall cyanogenmod, g-apps, etc.
whats my problem now, is that when i hold power down and power and get to the white recovery screen, if i select RECOVERY, it doesnt go where it used to. it goes to the OTHER white screen where choices are, REBOOT, POWER DOWN, etc. So i select to go into recovery mode (the black screen) but it never goes there now. Always did before. Just goes to that next white screen, letting me reboot and start the cycle over again. I've tried with no SC card, no difference.
I found a post someone giving specific directions to format sd card, put radio update only on card, and boot with that in phone. I did, and it successfully said it updated, but still nothing has changed.
I cant get into recovery mode, to reformat, wipe, run any updates, nothing. I've tried so many times i can't even guess. I think it has become a brick. But I finally posted here hoping i may find some advice.
Anyone have any ideas of what i can do, if i can get into recovery mode?
if this helps, this all the info on the white screen - holding power down and powering on:
HBOOT-0.92.0000

S-off is security off. It allows you to flash images not signed by HTC. At the top of the hboot screen it should say either s-on or s-off. If it let tou flash cwm recovery you are s-off.
Yes enter recovery, wipe everything in mounts and storage and either flash a stock ruu thru hboot, or flash a rom of your choosing. Do not choose aply update.zip choose install from sdcard, and select your roms zip file.
I would also flash a new radio thru hboot, as i have never seen that version of radio for the incredible. http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios.

ok, so here's where I'm at now:
updated radio via hboot via last link posted. i can now get to recovery screen, which is awesome, but - i can select any of the options and select one, and then it goes to a black screen with the ROM manager hat logo, with a yellow arrow under it. The arrow does not move or rotate, as if it was processing my command. it just sits idle on that logo forever.
i can hit power to go back to the recovery menu, and selecting nothing, well, does anything!
any ideas? just far your replies have gotten me past the loop i was in, so i eagerly hope there's more input for me now as to why none of the options in recovery screen process when i select them, they just go to a logo with the hat and an arrow (remember, the arrow isn't moving at all).
btw its ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0
thanks again,
ben
p.s. - my updated radio is 2.05.00.06.11 now, if that is important.

Do not use the power button to select items in recovery. Use the vol keys to navigate, the trackball to select, and the power button goes back.

i had the exact same thing just last week - stuck on bootloop with cyanogen 7. I tried some stuff for a little but ended up just switching to an ICS rom. which I am much happier with and would highly recommend.

Can you enter recovery? If so wipe everything in mounts and storrage except emmc and sdcard, and then restore a known good backup or flash a rom fresh. If that dosent work i would do an ruu.
Can he do a ruu from Fastboot or hboot or cwmi thought he had to be able fully boot to use ruu.

He can do a PB31IMG.zip ruu through hboot. To do the ruu.exe with a pc you need to be able to boot to enable usb debuging i think.
i was able to do all the listed in this thread. but after 2 days of searching i still can't find a good solution for formatting /data, I get an error everytime and cm7 is the only rom that I can boot on my dinc. however when i think i have fresh flash, some of my old apps are still there.
if i ruu i get stuck on the red eye screen and the phone reboots.
I'm at a loss

one similar thread was close, but no cigar....so here goes
EVO 4G rooted Unrevoked with amon ra 2.3, phone has been working just great since November, only thing I have done to it is flash some Roms, right now its running the Express RC1, I tried flashing the latest version of Express but it wouldnt take, but thats another story.
I was planning on flashing to another ROM so I connected the phone to PC and copied folders from sd card to PC folder, then I went into recovery and was going to backup again but with nandroid, and saw that the recovery menu prompts were different than what I normally see on other phones I work on, which I use Amon Ra 3.11, SO.. I decided to "upgrade" to the 3.11, so I rebooted to bootloader, then fastboot, went to command prompt and sent the flash of recovery.img to the phone, it said it was completed and I went to switch to recovery and it hung up on the splash screen.
After waiting for too long I pulled the battery and tried again, same problem, so I pulled it again and tried flashing it with Android Flasher, same thing, no luck. I did some searching and looked into ROM manager, but that only works with Clockwork, and I have Amon Ra.
I've tried periodically these same steps over again and cannot get it flashed, nor can get into recovery, getting to the bootloader is fine, booting the phone is fine, and works fine, but recovery just wont do.
I have also read that I could just upload an RUU and install that, but that would eliminate the nandroid, and as last resort will do it, but is there some other way I can get to recovery?
Edit: regarding clockwork, could I also install clockwork thru ROM manager, then come around and install amon ra? sounds like I could but...?

You should try that, that's easier way for you. Then flash amon ra properly. Always check md5 sum of download, the file could have been corrupted.

Did you go in applications then settings and see if fastboot is unchecked. Or pull out the battery, then hold the power button and volume down and see when you get to the screen with three androids on the bottom, scroll to recovery and choose it by clicking power button?
