[Q] root evo from 2.1 (02/11/11) - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone reboots before the rom loads, I rooted my evo using the unrevoked method and everything was fine until it started to reboot on its own. I, however, messed up and ran an older pc36img.zip so it unrooted me to 2.1 (2.1 does not reboot in other words its stable) thats not where the problem is at, when i do the over the air updates and get to 2.2 it reboots again and i would just take it to sprint but the s-off is my problem. What can I do fix the reboot or show s-on?

Almost sounds like a boot loop. If you can still boot into recovery, do a full wipe, then reflash a rom. That should help.

no I tried that same thing happened now the issue is that I'm unrooted so there is no recovery and when i get to 2.2 thru over the air updates I'm stuck in a boot loop

Flash a custom rom and radios

Thanks guys but i found out that the reason it was stuck on boot loop was because of the memory card. I turned it on with out the memory card and it was fine I put it back in and back to the loop, so now I reformatted the card and everything seems fine.

Cannot reboot phone

I recently ran an update for the CyanogenMod. It was the most recently nightly update (12/6) and when it finished the phone restarted into the ClockworkMod Recovery mode. I tried to restart the phone, but it booted to the bootloader. Now no matter what I do I cannot get the phone back into the OS, just the Clockwork Mod Recovery mode or the bootloader. I have tried running a nandroid, but it fails.
EDIT: I figured out that the only part of the nandroid that is not working is the boot section. I can run the restore of every other part just fine, but the boot is the only one that fails each time.
try flashing a different rom but don't forget to wipe tho..it might help

Tried to flash to the new Warm TwoPointTwo rom. Didn't work. Still only loads to bootloader/Clockwork.

[Q] CM Recovery problems

Hi everyone,
I've been flashing a few different ROMs to my phone lately and have been booting into ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 no problem for about a week. However the other day after installing redemptive revolution, I attempted to boot into recovery again only to be taken to the Fastboot on my device. I tried a number of different fixes including updating my Hboot to .92 and fixing my permissions but nothing would work, I kept being cycled into the HTC boot menus whenever I would attempt to boot into recovery. I managed to work around the issue by flashing an alternate recovery image (RA_GNM Recovery v1.8.1) which allowed me access to mount my sd card again and reinstall a different rom. Any ideas what is happening? It would be nice to have access to CM Recovery 2.5.1.2 again. Thanks!
You "should" be able to just run unrevoked again and it should install CWM for you.

unable to boot at all

Hi i have the htc desire i have been using different roms and trying the hd roms out lately, the last rom i used was the z port from from roblix i used the data 2 sd version.
i decided i didnt want the data2sd and i wanted to go back to the a2sd like i had been used to so i used gparted to remove all the partitions from my sd card and repartitioned it to the correct thing to use a2sd.......
i went into recovery and wiped all the things from the phone getting ready to flash but after i wiped the phone rebooted.....well it wouldnt
from that point on the phone will not boot normally because i removed the things with wiping all data....and it will not go into recovery either i had amon ra recovery image flashed to my phone.....which all worked hundreds of times before....
all i can do now is get to hboot menu or fastboot menu if i select recovery from there the phone goes off and comes to the first screen where it hangs for ever.
please advise what i can do to fix my phone to get recovery back again
If your S-Off you can flash a recovery again through fastboot. Erm... I can't remember how to do it if your not so you will have to search the forums for the solution or Google it. If you wanted to, you could use an RUU (and a Goldcard if necessary to bypass the verification) but you would have to root again.
i have tried to flash recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img via fastboot and it said it flashed ok but it wont boot to recovery still ..... the phone reboots and just sticks on the first boot screen and does nothing else at all
any other ideas
Try CWM 2.5.0.7? Install an RUU to reset it back then just root it again?

[Q] Rooted Bricked EVO 4g Running 2.3??

Hello, I'm new to the forum. So I'll try to explain my story as detailed as possible So,
This morning I decided to root my evo running 2.3 with REVOLUTIONARY s-off.
Then I flashed superuser on the evo. it worked perfectly. And I was rooted. But that wasn't the problem. The problem started when I tried to flash a custom rom on my evo. The rom was The kingdom rom, by virus. I put it on my ad card and went into recovery, recovery seemed a little different. It had a REVOLUTIONARY logo in recovery. I flashed the rom, it was succesful, I rebooted the device and I noticed it would just stay on the first white boot screen, the one that states htc evo 4g. I left it there for 10 minutes but it still didn't leave the boot. I took out the battery and went back into recovery, I reflashed the rom and rebooted the device but no luck, the same thing persisted. So I went BACK into recovery and mounted the USB hboot with my sd card, I then put a PC36IMG.zip and flashed that because I thought that would put everything back to stock. I rebooted the phone, put to my surprise, the pc36img file was loaded before I did anything on my boot loader screen.... It was flashed and it was rebooted, but no luck. I went back to my boot loader and tried to go back into recovery but it doesn't work!!! all I see now when I choose recovery is a picture of a phone with an exclamation point. This is weird but I think I'm partially rooted because in my boot loader it is s-off and has a REVOLUTIONARY boot logo.... Please help, I booted my device and all I see is the first boot screen, and I've seen that for 2 hours and 24 minutes.... Help me please!!!
Running an RUU replaces the recovery with the stock recovery, which is pretty much not a recovery. I believe if while on that screen (the red triangle recovery screen) if you hold both volume buttons at the same time you'll be given some options. Anyway, you just need to flash a recovery.
Here is Amon Ra: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
It's a PC36IMG file. Remove the other one and flash that. Then boot into recovery, wipe boot, data, cache, dalvik, sd-ext, and .android_secure. Then flash the rom or try a different one.

[q] please help!!

I recently tried to flash the non rooted stock rom for the evo 4g from the bootloader. However, when the update got to system, it failed with this next to it, "Failure-PU." I have done this procedure before and it succeeded without problems. However now, it won't work. The update as a whole failed obviously, and when I try to boot into recovery, it gets stuck at the htc evo 4g splash screen. I have used fastboot and the bootloader itself to flash both amon ra and clockwork. It says it was completed everytime. However, I still can't boot into recovery. It continues to hang up. I need urgent help! I can't afford to replace my phone!
EDIT: Finally fixed it. Cleared storage in HBOOT and reflashed Amon RA.
