PLease help anyinfo would be greatly appreciated..
i have a rooted htc evo rooted by unrevoked.
i was running miui rom. i updated to the newest miui rom and it worked fine.. after a bit i realized my wifi wasnt connecting so i went and flashed a different kernel. when it rebooted it worked but when i hit reboot from the phones menu it would get stuck at the white screen, so id have to take the battery out and hold the volume down button and power and wipe cache and data and reflash the rom just to get it booted.
but after about the second or third time doing so it gets stuck at the white htc evo boot screen . i can access recovery and have tried flashing other roms like cyanogen but just gets stuck.. when i tried flashing stock rom.. says installation aborted..
anyone have a solution? please this phone is where i do my business through and need help immediately....
for fast response u can IM me through aim .. AcuraEvoMR is my screenname if not i will check this page periodically thanks in advanced

Your Evo is fine, so relax.
Try toggling off Signature Verification, then flashing your ROM. Also, I recommend Amon Ra over Clockwork because the newer Clockwork will not flash older ZIP files that don't use the newer install scripts. Did you at least make a Nandroid Backup before attempting any of this?

Flashing to Amon RA recovery will be your best bet. Forget about clockwork. The easiest way to flash to Amon Ra would be to use ROM Manager, and select 'flash alternate recovery'. However, you can't get booted up, so that option won't currently work for you. You can download Amon Ra V2.3 in PC36IMG, from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026. You would then place the PC36IMG on the root of your sd card, either using USB MS toggle in recovery, or by removing your sd card from the phone, and using a card reader to put it in your PC and then dropping the file on it. Then put it back in your phone, and boot to the bootloader. It will detect the PC36IMG.zip, and ask you if you want to update. Hit volume up to say yes. It will then flash the new recovery for you. At that point, I'd try wiping again, flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (attatched), and then try reflashing a ROM. Remember, don't try restoring any previous nandroids made by Clockwork while your using Amon Ra. It will mess stuff up. Good luck.
honestly im not sure if i did i did a back up in the rom manager.. and tried restoring from there but wont do it.. and i believe the toggle is already off

Here you go. Try downloading this, it should work. Follow the instructions on Amon's page, for the bootloader method. Or just follow my previous instructions. Hope that works for you dude.

Alright, I'll tell you how to get back to completely stock and then root all over again. It shouldn't take long at all. This is what you do:
1) Download this ZIP, name it "PC36IMG".zip (no quotes) and put it in the root of your memory card. Meaning if your card shows up on your computer as E:\, then put it in E:\ (no folders).
2) Go into Bootloader mode/hboot (Power + Volume Down), and let it find the zip after a few seconds. It'll ask you if you want to apply it. Hit yes. This will take a while and your phone might reboot a few times.
3) When it's done, you're on an unrooted ROM, but still S-OFF. You can do one of two things:
A) Download the latest Unrevoked and run that all over again (takes like 5 minutes).
B) Download Amon_Ra recovery zip (replace the other PC36IMG.zip) and repeat step 2 to flash it. Then flash whatever you want.
That's it. From then on you can flash whatever you want. What kernel were you trying to use btw? HTC 17?
ok so to verify....
i have my evo in recovery i scroll down to mount via usb..
i put the pc36.... file into the root part of sd card...
then what?
because i click unmount after then do i hit reboot system now because i did and nothing happen just froze...
sorry if im not doing things correctly
this is a tedious task for myself so bare with me
should i go and try and install zip. from the root part of sd card as if i were flashing a rom
and the kernel i was using was whichever came with the new miui update something like savagezen or like that

It's alright. After you put the 1st zip (the actual ROM), go into the bootloader (the white screen with the Androids on skateboards). Step 2.

Okay. You're almost there. Now that you have the PC36IMG on your sd card, power the phone off completely. Then hold power and vol+down so that it will put you into the bootloader. Then just wait a few seconds, and the bootloader will scan and find the PC36IMG, then tell you it found an update, and ask you if you want to update. You wll press volume up to say yes to the update. It will then flash the PC36IMG (whether its just the recovery, or if you're unrooting and rerooting using Fred's method, you flash the same way from the bootloader)
sorry, fred already got to ya!

Just to verify, because it needs to be exact. THe file that you put on your sd card, is named exactly like this, correct ? :: PC36IMG :: It must be capitals. Do Not add a :: .zip :: to the end of it, because the phone does that. If you did label it :: PC36IMG.zip, it would really be PC36IMG.zip.zip, which the bootloader won't recognize. so be sure that it is on main root of your sd card, and named properly, then the bootloader should recognize it.

Im look at unrevoked forever wiki now ...
All right, I'm gonna assume you're rooted since you have CWM recovery. Here's what I need you to do:
Download this.
Put it in the root (Z:\) of your SD card.
Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
Flash the zip file.
Turn off your Evo.
Hold VOL DOWN, then press the lock button to turn it on.
It should boot into a white screen (called the "bootloader" or "hboot").
On the top line, look for "S-OFF". If it's there, continue on. If it doesn't say S-OFF, go back to step 3.
Download this.
Put this in the root of your SD card. Make sure it's named PC36IMG.ZIP EXACTLY.
Boot back into hboot. (refer to step 6)
It should detect the zip you just downloaded and ask if you want to install it.
Select yes.
Let it finish.
Tell it NOT to restart. Go into the bootloader, and select recovery. (Use the volume keys to navigate, power button to select.)
You (should) now be in Amon_RA Recovery!
You could just flash alternate recovery in rom manager.

Yeah ive had the evo rooted for a while been custom ROMing for a bit. (you would think I'd know what i'm doing by now )
What is the reason for adding PC36IMG and reloading it? This will of course blank out my current Fresh build (right?) Buy hey I'll give it ago.
Thanks man this was the trick! Im now in Aman Ra. Thank GOD I can wipe my Davlik cache now.....Thanks again
The PC36IMG.zip that I linked contains only the Amon_RA recovery. The reason you go back is because it won't take unless you have S-OFF or a .76.2000 HBOOT version, so you should verify before you start going crazy flashing stuff.
I was not able to load RA on one of my phones using ADB and had to use fastboot. I remember reading about some phones having more bad blocks and that was the case with one of our phones. I was able to use ADB for the other one.
My bad, 8pen has me doing less reading and doing too much figuring how to write something.

Thanks for that link I had a similar issue and it worked like a champ for me!!
I had the same problem and what worked for me is I had Rom manager installed and at the bottom it asked you if you would like to to flash with a different recovery. It worked like a charm. Keep in mind you cant use you clockwork back ups once you switch to amon.

OMG! I have bricked it for sure! I want to cry! I have clockwork and it never goes to recovery so I do option at the bottom to restore the other. Clockwork always gives me the white lines and black screen. So like a dumb ass I went into clockwork and looked at roms. Downloaded one and it asked to install clockwork recovery to install so I said yes. Installed the rom and when it asked to go to clockwork recovery to install I said yes. And now nothing just the black screen with white lines. Will not do anything. All options in volume down and power do nothing. Help help help!! Cannot boot phone or get into recovery! I have a brick, I just know it!! Please help me get my phone back!!!!!
Recovery options
Its not a brick. Follow that link to get recovery working again. You can use Adrynalyne's version or the link to BAmod by berzerker. Sd card needs to be fat32 for hboot to recognize the .zip
ok do I need to just put the sd card in the puter and reformat it? And then put the zip on the sd card after I rename it?
Should work for ya.
well I did that and it didn't work. It goes through the HBoot when I first turn it on and then it doesn't do anything else. Just says something like no image?
Follow exactly the directions on the berzerker thread.
They work.
If you choose to d/l one of his, he offers several means to accomplish the placement of the recovery. Sounds like you tried copying a PMB image to SD. (Option #3, assuming you have S-Off, which you should if you used unrevoked) No ADB needed. (nothing to do for step 2b in Option #3)
The directions on what to do are pretty succinct w/ that method.
Try it.

What you are describing is the SLCD screen w/ incorrect recovery.
Copy one of the PMB image files to the freshly formatted SD card and follow the directions in berzerker's thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10048323 - option 3.
You don't have to put quotes around the filename when you rename it, nor do you step 2b in the option 3 process. Easy as pie - try it.

Ok got my phone working great. Just will not reboot from quick boot app or from recovery. But can live with it as I said. But do have a question.... the rom I downloaded has Rom Manager in it. What I want to know is if I go and install Clockwork Recovery and then go to the bottom of Rom Manager there is a place to restore another recovery. And that installs Amon Recovery, which I have no problem with. Can I do this and then delete the Rom Manager so I never mess up my phone to the point where I cry most of the day thinking I have a $350.00 brick! Thank everyone for the help!

Pulling the battery, waiting a couple minutes, and then holding vol+down and power doesn't allow you to access your bootloader?
yes it does but then i try recovery and it doesent work tho.. :/ and i already put the battery out its benn 24 hours like this...
I'm not entirely sure, then. I'm rather new myself, so I'm not too knowledgeable yet. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will chime in soon.
DirtyShroomz should be perusing these forums right about now... anytime, buddy.
What kernel are you using...had similar problem with sense ROM due to a flashed kernel that didn't play well with custom ROM. You can try to reflash your recovery if you can find a flashable zip of it or a PC36100.IMG of it. Put on root of sdcard and flash PC36100.IMG through bootloader or flash zip through recovery. What does your recovery do when you access it...it wont let you reflash the ROM or what

Please be a little more specific. When you say 'but then i try recovery, and it doesnt work tho', what doe you mean? Does it hang at the white 'htc evo 4g' screen (splash screen) or does it give you a black screen with a red triangle? When you get to the bootloader, it still shows that you are indeed S-off, correct? What happens when you pull the battery, and try to boot normally? Do you have any success? If so, download ROM manager from the market, and use that to reflash whichever recovery you were using, either clockwork or amon ra ( i suggest amon ra) If you are unable to boot into the rom at all, and you're unable to access your recovery, then the first thing to try is reflashing your recovery, using the bootloader. To do that, download the PC36IMG that I'll attatch. That is Amon Ra recovery, version 2.3. Download the zip file, make 100% sure that it's named exactly PC36IMG (capitals matter), and put it on the main directory of your sd card ( you'll need to either use an sd card adapter, and put it right into your computer, or put the sd card in a different phone to transfer the file) You may be able to access the sd card using hboot usb, I don't recall at the moment. Either way, get the file on your sd card somehow. Make sure it's named right, and not in any folders. Then put the sd card back in your phone, and boot into the bootloader. The bootloader should then scan and find the PC36IMG file, and ask you if you want to update. Select volume up to say yes. Once it's done flashing, from the bootloader, select 'recovery'. You should now boot into Amon Ra recovery. From that point, I'd suggest doing a complete wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache), and then flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (i'll attatch it) Once you're done wiping, then reflash the ROM and Gapps. Reboot your device, and you should boot into the ROM. Good luck.
EDIT: I just saw that you were using clockwork before. I don't have a PC36IMG of clockwork, so just use Amon Ra for now. It's a better recovery, but if you must go back to clockwork, once you're phone's back up and running, you can easily use ROM manager to select 'flash clockworkmod recovery' , and that'll get you back on clockwork. just please be sure not to attempt to restore a clockwork backup using Amon Ra. That's a no no. You need to use clockwork to restore a backup that was made by clockwork. Just so ya know.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up, I got the situation now. Yes, flashing the PC36IMG, following my previous instructions will give you a recovery back. Once you get recovery back, you'll be able to wipe everything and flash the rom again, starting over. Recovery is all you need man!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked. Now that you have recovery back, you'll be good to go. Just make sure to do full wipes before flashing roms, and I suggest sticking with Amon Ra instead of clockwork. Once you get the system running again, make a nandroid backup using Amon Ra, and make sure to check the 'wimax' box, to backup your RSA keys (you dont need to backup wimax every time, just be sure to keep a good backup around of it). Then you'll have a solid backup using Amon, because as I said before, as long as you stay with Amon Ra, your previous clockwork backups are useless.
I have a similar issue. EVO bootloops twice and then gets stuck at 4G and stays there. I am able to boot into bootloader. It has

RUU 3.30
RUU 3.70
Took the sdcard out and put PC36IMG.ZIP for 3.30 and 3.70. HBOT scans it with the blue bar and does the "checking the zip" and then back to bootloader. Does not give me an option to update. Any suggestions? I need help.

Sorry, I didn't see your question before I went to bed last night. So you are trying to flash back to stock? That's your goal. I see you're already S on. So both of the RUU's that you tried failed on you? What happened when you tried to run the RUU, did it give you an error or what? Do you have HTC Sync installed? You only tried putting one PC36IMG on your sd card at a time right? From the way you described it, it kind of looks like you loaded both on the sd card at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can even do that. Anyways, I'd try downloading the PC36IMG from a different source, confirming that you have a good download, and trying again. THe bootloader should scan and ask you to update. The only time I've seen where it doesn't is if the PC36IMG is named incorrectly, if it's in a folder, if the file is corrupt, or if your sd card is corrupt. If you can't get the PC36IMG to work, I'd suggest formatting your sd card (back it up first) then loading just the PC36IMG on there, and try again. Good luck.
Thanks for seeing the question. Tried pretty much everything. I just want it to work thats all. Its never been rooted. Now I tried the RUU for 3.29, 3.30 and 3.70 and they all give me Error 132 Signarure Error. I ran the RUU by putting EVO in Fastboot. I tried formatting the SDCARD and individually putting the PC36IMG. It does loading with the blue bar on the side, then "checking the PC36IMG" and back to HBOOT. Never gives me an option to "volume up" to update. I have done the PC36IMG files on another EVO and they worked fine before. I have tried 2 different SDcards. I got the RUU from shippedroms and also from here on xda. I got all PC36IMG from here. Don't know what else to do.

So, you've never been rooted before? Everything was just working fine, and then suddenly it won't boot up? Just hangs at the 4g screen? Is that accurate? Were any changes made to your phone before this happened? Any unusual apps you added, changes you made, anything noteable at all? Or just 100% random out of the blue?
So you ran the RUU with the Evo in fastboot, what happened? Did the RUU appear to run successfully, or does it error out? Any info on what happens when you attempt the RUU would be great. Did you try downloading a PC36IMG or RUU from this thread yet? I have never had a problem with one from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. Do you know what software version, radio version, and hboot version you currently had on your phone before it started acting up? Was it the most recent OTA, 3.70 software?
There is annother way to try to flash the PC36IMG using fastboot commands, which I've never done, so don't know the instructions off the top of my head. I'll post back when I find how to do that.
Are you sure you're not getting a bad download of the RUU's and PC36IMG? It's odd that your bootloader scans it, but doesn't ask you to update. That could be due to a corrupted file (bad download) Do you have a good internet connection when you're downloading the files?
The phone was never rooted. I bought it from someone. Practically brand new. No damage at all. I downloaded every single RUU and PC36IMG file from the link you mentioned but same thing happens. RUU ERRORS 132 and PC36IMG files scan and check out but no choice to press volume up for update. Hboot is2.02, radio is 2.15, s-on and the software version when I run the RUU says 3.30. I am stuck at this point. I can only get the phone to recognize fastboot. Help.....

Are you rooted? What recovery do you have? If you are rooted, you may need to reflash a recovery. I suggest amon RA v2.3....Download the PC36IMG.zip from http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
Afterwards, put it on the root of your SD card. Shutdown your device and re-enter the bootloader screen (press the down volume button while also pressing the power button). The bootloader will AUTOMATICALLY detect the PC36IMG.zip and prompt you to install. Follow the prompt to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery. The name & version of the recovery will be displayed at the bottom of the screen....Take care.
Oh, for future reference, post questions like this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
I almost didn't notice your question in this particular thread.

No need to apologize, my friend. We've all been there. Just follow my instructions to install a fresh recovery and you *should* be fine.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it is a recovery file. Boot animation screens and the like can also be name PC36IMG.zip. If you're certain that the file you have is indeed a recovery file, then, by all means, use the one you have, but if you're unsure, go with the one I linked and put the other one in a folder.
that pc36 file is what recovery i have not sure what its called
but everytime i go to the hboot screen it always scans something and says do you want to update and i always click no. this ONE time for some reason started annoying me so i clicked yes and now i can't go in recovery. smh

I understand. Either delete the PC36IMG.zip you have or move it inside a folder. then download the PC36IMG.zip from the link I provided and place it on the root of your SD card and then re-enter the bootloader screen and follow the prompts to install when prompted.
i think i might have lost my recovery.. not 100% sure though

If you'd like, but again, if you are unsure of what those files are, do not use them. The recovery I'm trying to get you to flash is the most recommended one...amon RA v2.3....a detailed description of the recovery menus can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/KKWrv amon RA's thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026

this happened to me a few times if your not rooted and the phone wont boot either you can take the battery out put it back in hold volume down and power then go to fast boot connect to your computer and flash one of the stock RUU's
Are you having problems booting into your homescreen or is the problem limited to the recovery? I suppose I should have asked this question earlier.

If you followed my instructions and are now in recovery, then yes, that's it. I mean, unless you're getting ready to flash a new rom, kernel, theme, mod of some sort, you can simply select "reboot" and your phone will reboot and then load into your homescreen.

You are definitely in recovery if you're able to wipe the cache, dalvik & data. Keep in mind that since you are wiping your "data", you will have to re-enter your data when you enter your homescreen. Most people do not wipe their data unless they want to start over or something. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to be of assistance to you. Take care and have a great night....
I am trying to root my EVO. I once had it rooted and unrooted it...i think...with unrEVOked. I wanted to root the phone and install a custom rom again but I cant seem to get it to root.
I have tried unrEVOked(and followed all the easy steps to root on a forum....more then once), and once I got the initial screen were it sais to plug the phone in and make sure it has USBdebugging on, I do just that and nothing happens. so....
I tried to use Simple Root .1. Once again, found a forum on how to root with this program and followed the steps...more then once...and still no luck. With Simple Root I watched a video and in the video the prompt screen said that it was pushing a file to the phone and then it is suppose to go to the HBOOT screen....which does not happen on my phone, it skips that step and tells me to go to step 2, but I haven't completed step 1 yet....
------So that problem might not be a problem. I guess I AM still rooted. HBOOT screen sais S-OFF, but i dont have unrevoked on the phone anymore. I was told in another thread that I am still rooted and i need to find a flash recovery because when i go into recovery from HBOOT sceen it gives me a !red triangle!
So i guess my question is how do I go about getting a flash recovery and what do I have to do to acutally use that recovery instead of the stock recovery??
Also i was thinking about using the ROM "EVO ZONE" Any thoughts on that ROM??
Thanks!
dizl.evo
Im guessing you have the latest OTA? If so, you cannot root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176695
This is what i have figured out already.....
I also was doing a little poking around and figured out that i did not have a PC36IMG.zip on my SDcard. I just put it on my card and started HBOOT and now it is asking me if i want to start an update....yes or no?
If that is the recovery zip, then yes let it update
We're comin from a pure power source.
ok, after i do that will i still need to flash recover? or will i be able to find the custom rom then??
And does anybody know anything about the EVO Zone rom?
durring the update it has 11 things that it tries to update....all of them seem to update fine with the exception of number 8 and 9. both are labeled "TP". The first one does nothing and the second one sais it is bypassed. I've tried twice and it keeps bypassing. Is that suppose to happen??
BUMP...Does anybody know if there is anything i can do??
Thanks..
You probably ran a PC36IMG of an RUU or something other than a recovery. You can download Amon Ra recovery from my dropbox here: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
It's named properly, just delete the other PC36IMG from your SD card and replace it with this one. Run it through the bootloader the same way that you ran the other one. When it finishes, decline the prompt to reboot and select recovery from the list. You should see the white splashscreen then boot into Amon Ra 2.3.
As for the rom, I'm not familiar with it. If I were you, I'd flash a popular rom that you know is reliable. If you use the default Sense launcher, be sure to flash a Sense rom.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
I'll try to break this down for you as easily as possible.
1) s-off allows you to flash a custom recovery for installing roms. It means signature off which is to say you can install roms that have not been signed by HTC. This ability is critical to flashing and you're on the right track if you have it.
2) Currently your phone has no custom recovery on it, that's the red triangle bit. In order to get one on there, search the development section for the Amon_Ra recovery and download the PC36IMG.zip. Copy the zip to the main part of your SD card, then reboot and hold the volume key after the screen goes black. Your bootloader (the screen that tells you s-off or on) will automatically read and try to install the file.
Hit volume up for yes, let it do its thing then volume up again to reboot.
3) Hold volume down while rebooting to get into recovery. From here, go to usb mode. Copy your sdcard contents to your hard drive. Then turn off usb mode, go to wipe, and wipe it all 3 times. Go back to usb mode.
4) copy the Rom you want to flash to the sdcard and turn off usb mode again. Go into flash from zip, find your Rom and tell it to flash. Once this is complete, reboot and enjoy the new Rom.
Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for all the help, But when I try and click to download Amon it opens up a blank page and nothing happens....
There any way to download the file else where?
I don't have the link on hand but there is an Amon Thread in the Development section,should be able to download it from there.Edit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=amon+ra+recovery here's the link to Amons Thread
blank screen on download
rght clicking and choosing "open in new tab" solved that for me
Umyou r s-off so ur good. Find an amon_RA pc36img n put that on root of sd-card n also whatever rom u wanna flash. Boot to bootloader n yes to update then flash rom.
