get recovery.img from steps 1 and/or 2 of roooting from toast and place recovery.img on /sdcard
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
Ok, I'll try to keep this simple and informative.
I have been rooted with unrEVOked for months. Last night I flashed CyanogenMod 7 RC2. (I've posted this there too on their forums) Today my Evo crashed while using the app QR Droid, and now goes into a boot loop after the "htc EVO 4g" white screen. It loads that screen, then goes black, reboots and does this cycle until I pull the battery.
I can get into hboot. (v 2.10.001, Clockworkmod), S-OFF, updated radio last night when I actually could before I flashed CM7 RC2 to 2.15.00.11.19.
Here is where the problem deepens, and is very similar to this thread; Bricked Evo, and cant factory wipe. Help please
When I try to select Recovery, the boot-loop starts over; so i actually cant get into recovery and flash anything from the sd card it also does not give me any triangle bull**** or whatever, just starts the boot loop.
I have a card reader for my micro sd card; I took everything off of it and put an RUU on it, renamed it PC36IMG.zip, got into hboot, tried to update it and it failed, goes back to the boot loop. I believe the ruu was outdated.
Can someone link me to the most recent recovery image? I should use to get back to stock? I think that is my problem, the ruu is out of date.
Or any other input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I tried this recovery image to know effect, when i reboot after applying update it goes back into loop; CANT POST LINK YET!

I attatched a PC36IMG of Amon Ra recovery version 2.3. You can try flashing that from the bootloader. I will also provide a link to the most recent RUU's and PC36IMG's. This link actually has all of them, old and new. Hope you're able to recover the phone dude. Good luck.

thanks, I have clockworkmod from when i unrevoked and had it updated via the CM7 rom manger last night, does that matter?
I tried that img you attached, it did not work, Im not exactly sure how to use the RUU's could someone explain what else I should do?

should'nt make any difference at all. I'm not sure how your initial problem happened, but you are not the first I've seen this happen to. Most that I've seen were recent, and were running CM7. Not sure what's up with that, but if you search the q and a section, you'll find a few similar threads. Very strange. I hope you ge it working again.
Happened to me and a few others a week or 2 ago. There was no fix that we found. Pc36img wont work, ruu won't work. U won't be able to do anything to get s-off to s-on either (in my experience.) Even tho u can get to bootloader, if its like what happened to me and a few others, ur bricked. I got mine warranty replaced (but they're still gonna charge me $125 for returning an unrecoverable phone) another guy threw his out his car window and they charged him $100 to replace his "lost" phone. Those are the only options I know of.

The incredible will go into hboot but the recovery, factory reset, clear storage all send it into a boot loop. It is S-off and should have cwm (the root was done by unrevoked) but I cant get it into recovery mode to fix the problem. the up vol + power will cause it to vibrate 3 times but the screen stays black.
I am use to samsung phones where I can just odin it back to stock but have little experience with Htc. Any help on reverting it back to stock or just help me get into recovery so i can flash a custom rom would be great. thanks
btw
hboot is .92
Radio 2.15.00.07.28
If you are s-off I would first try reflashing cwm thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip
Here is the CWM 5.0.2.0 PB31IMG.zip
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
Just place it on the root of your sd and then boot into hboot (hold vol down and power) it should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. If that works then install the su binary found below thru recovery.
http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip
thanks for the quick reply after updating with the PB3 file it still wont go into recovery mode, just the boot loop. any other ideas?
I would say your next step would be to do an ruu of froyo 2.2 wich you can fiNd here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/3.26.605.1/PB31IMG.zip and if that dosent work I would try an ruu exe with your pc.
Thanks for your quick response, this phone is wack! I ran the ruu exe from my pc it did its thing and successfully updated the Rom but to my surprise when it rebooted it was stuck in a boot loop!
I had a similar problem a few days ago, and the only solution I found was to update CWM through RomManager. I'm thinking that the problem may have been caused by RomManager in the first place, which is why this is the only method that worked for getting CWM working.
You could try flashing an older version of cwm like 3.0.0.8 thru hboot. Mabey cwm 5 is whats causing your troubles. Or try flashing amon ra recovery.
Cwm 3.0.0.8

I flashed both recovery's, also an ruu of a stock rom, and I also tried doing an ruu exe through the computer. all of them succeeded but in every case I am still stuck in a boot loop and cant get the phone to boot up

Can you get into recovery yet or are the hboot options still not working?
Mabey your hboot got corrupted somehow you can try reflashing it.
hboot 0.92
http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_0.92/PB31IMG.zip
Then try flashing a recovery again and see if you can get into it.
None of the hboot options work. I have flashed all the files you have given me. and I have done the ruu exe of both froyo and gingerbread. they all say they have completed successfully but nothing has fixed the problem. Still cant get into recovery and it wont but up at all. Im not sure what else it could be
Im not sure then if none of those options work im at a loss of what else you could do. Mabey someone with more experince can chime in with some other options. Have you tried reformating your sdcard or using a different one? Thats the only other thing I can think of.

When you say "flashing" are you literally flashing these .zip files in CWM or are you renaming these files to PB31IMG.zip and installing thru HBOOT? There is a difference between the two.

He cant get into recovery thats one of the issues.
ya i guess not flashing just running the PB31 file in hboot. I think im done working with it though. Im doing it for some guy who tried flashing it from verizon to another carrier but it didnt work and it only goes into hboot now. but thanks for all your help especially cmlusco. I'm still open for ideas but It's not going to my priority anymore. I learned a lot about htc phones if anything

So the OP is S Off and can't flash the PB CWM file in HBOOT? Ccould be a bad file too. Make are you are checking md 5s
Sent from my Droid Incredible HD using Tapatalk
He can flash any PB31IMG file sucessfully but the phone will not boot and selecting any of the options in hboot leads him to a splash bootloop, and requires a battery pull. It's all above.

Ya it is s -off
I have flashed the pb CWM file no luck and also the other recovery (cant remember the name)
I also tried flashing th pb hboot file no luck
I flashed the pb ruu froyo no luck and also gb no luck
i then tried doing it through my computer using stock froyo exe and also a gb one with no luck (In every case the phone said it was "successful" in updating the roms and/or the recoverys)
But nothing ever changes it will only boot into hboot but nothing works in the hboot everything just sends it into a boot loop on the white htc screen

Thats probably the issue it was attempted to be switched to another carrier wich is a fairly complicated process. He may have changed some settings below rom level that cant be fixed by flashing an ruu. Im not sure if there is a fix with qpst or not but if there is I have no clue how to do it.
Been seeing some odd issues lately. I had a problem, and it would just go to a black screen and vibrate five times.
If the USB was plugged in to my PC, it would boot and operate fine, as soon as I unplugged it, it would crash again.
Check this out, it may be related.

I've been having almost this exact problem and have been working on it since 5:30 last night. As my phone is also my modem, I am currently at the library on wifi... FML.
The only difference is that I did not try to switch carriers, I was just using my phone normally and then yesterday morning I had a bunch of FCs, and yesterday evenings began the boot loops when I unlocked to make a phone call, again, FML.
The timing is very bad, only about two weeks till my new-every-two. Please help, I need my phone and don't really have the money to spare for a new one.
Thanks in advance.

My htc evo all of the sudden it doesnt want to start it just staying on the htc white screen and then vibrates and it restarts itself I tried installing a ruu rom and sitll the same, tried to install a recovery app and it wont take it I get a message saying that the image is invalid. Plz someone help me I havent slep and been looking and looking and I havent found something that can help me with my problem
Heres some info from the Hboot screen
Supersonic EVT2-3 Ship S-on
Hboot-2.16.0001
Microp-041f
Touch Panel-Atmelc03_16ac
Radio-2.15.00.0808
any ideas will help
Same prob
Have you had any luck? I'm in the same boat, I've tried just about everything... I sold my phone to someone and they tried installing muiu rom and it quit working for them and they sent it back to me... And now I just want to get it working so I can use it and sell my iPhone and get a new android!! I hate the iPhone.
What exactly were you trying to achieve switching RUU's?
did you make sure it was for phones that were not rooted?
I havent had any luck and well I tried the Ruu that it wasnt rooted and it went all the way but the same thing keeps on happening
I am having this issue as well, about 12 hours after switching roms to cm9 nightly (unofficial) from the roms section, everything was working just fine, all was well. I had spent some time getting the rom set back up the way i like it, and had finished, while waiting in line at a restaurant I opened a bookmark from ics browser plus app and the phone rebooted itself. it just loops through the white screen, goes black, and then back to the white screen. I can get to hboot, but not to recovery, selecting recovery just goes back to the loop. I tried clearing user data via hboot, I tried reinstalling recovery (both amon-ra and twrp). the recovery installs ok according to the screen, but then trying to go back to recovery causes the loop to return. I do not know what else to try. (in my case, the phone does still show s-off and always has throughout the problems)
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.....

You're gona ned to get to s-off sot hat adb and mount the system if needed. Since you have the 2.16 bootloader, head over to revolutionary.io to get to rooting tools.
UPDATE
After trying different things now my HBOOT says 2.18.0001
Radio 2.15.00.12.19 and at the top it says unlocked, how can I S-off if i cant go inside the phone?
Now you're S-Off, flash a recovery and see if you can into Recovery and flash a ROM.
BTW, what ROM were you using when this started?

If the top of the screen says S-Off, stop right there. Go to the dev section > download and flash a recovrey via PC36IMG.zip > then flash a rom.
for S+G's try pulling battery and removing sd card before rebooting without it
sorry but I havent had time to get online but now it says

It seems like you might have a bad SD card. Do you have any spare SDs lying around that you could try out? by the way have you been trying to flash these updates through recovery, because they are designed to be flashed in hboot. I thought you were using hboot to flash based on the language used but from the picture you loaded it looks like stock recovery if I am correct. If you have been trying to flash these files through recovery try again using hboot but I suspect you were doing it right the first time. If that is the case, I would do like I suggested above and try using an alternate sd card. I can't promise that will fix the problem but based on the fact that recovery is unable to mount /sdcard it seems like it is a hardware problem.
no, i flashed trough hboot and device did not boot
after that i tried to do hardreset in recovery
i will try another card, i have 64gb on me right now, dont know if it will work :laugh:
