So i was trying to install something on my phone and forgot to make a back up. Phone is stuck in boot loop any idea for a solution. I would love to have my phone running again lol.
Take out battery. Put it back in. Boot into hboot by pressing power and volume down button simultaneously until you see hboot screen. From there boot into recovery. In recovery go into mounts and storage and mount SD card to PC. Download any Tom and move it to SD card. Then unmount from PC and then unmount SD card on phone. Go back to main recovery menu and flash the Tom zip after wiping data, cache, dalvik. Reboot.

The only thing I'd add from recent experience is to use a ROM that you know should be compatible with your Clockwork Recovery. I tried Incredibly Re-Engineered Z with CW 3.0.0.5 and got a boot loop (looks like issue has been fixed in the ROM). But since it was my wife's phone and I needed a ROM by the morning, I tried Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo but it didn't install. I found that I had to downgrade my CW to 2.5.1.2 and everything installed perfectly.

OK here goes. I downloaded and installed the Business Sense Rom. And it installed then rebooted. From their it went down hill. It would continue to loop after reboot and the Droid Red eye. So like an idiot I went into recovery mode and formatted everything in the Mounts option. Now when I turn the phone off and reboot all I get is the Hboot menu and that's it. It will not goto the main phone stuff. Is their a way to get the phone working again or is it a total write off?
Thanks
Flash another ROM again

when you restart are you going into hboot or recovery?
Download another rom. I recommend redemptive 2.1.3
Put the rom on your sd card. Go into recovery and flash it. Make sure you wipe data. Don't format anything in mounts option.

Are you pretty new to rooting? Happened to me awhile back. Wipe cache, davlik. May have to possibly reinstall RUU to stock and reroot but its easy now with unrevoked.

Correct.....remember while on recovery 'wipe data/factory reset', wipe cache partition' and go to advanced and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache', now install a new ROM. Good luck !
Ok I'll try that. And it first loads Hboot then I can goto recovery. I'll have to buy a microsd card reader first since I don't have one :-( I formatted almost everything on the SD card and internal memory so I'm hoping I can just do what you guys suggested....I'll let you know what happens Thanks for all the help...
Got it to work I installed the default Verizon firmware which was still on 2.1 and its back up and running. Now its downloading the fryo 2.2 update......Thanks for all the help....
Well, I made a mistake. Was having problems getting clockwork 3.0 to install roms so I switched to AMON RA and did not make nandroid... Cleared data and dalvik and tried to flash new rom, that is not flashing.. Now stuck on white screen. Able to get to recovery screen after pulling the battery.. How do I get a rom on my sd card to boot to? HELP!!

You can try a different ROM. While connected to the computer, in recovery, select the USB-Toggle option. This will pop-up the sd card on your computer. Copy the new ROM on your sd card and flash the regular way.
Hope that helps
Thanks (button used also)..!!
Okay, so earlier today I rooted my evo and flashed the CM6 ROM. A little later I tried to install Google apps.
I followed a tutorial on youtube on how to install gapps using rom manager.
Now my Evo is stuck in the Clockworkmod recovery screen and when I click reboot system now it reboots and goes back to the clockworkmod screen. I tried wiping data/factory reset and then re-installing the CM6 ROM, it did not work.
I really need some help here, I'm not too experienced and I don't want to brick my Evo. How do i fix this?? I am freaking out. Thank you!
I use AmonRA recovery personally and flash everything through recovery. I had too many problems when I tried flashing things through Rom Manager app. Do you have a nandroid backup? If so install the backup and then boot into recovery and reinstall CM6 and gapps back to back in the same recovery session. If no backup, download PC36IMG that corresponds with your hboot version and put it on the root of your sd card. Boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power at the same time. It will scan the sd card for PC36IMG and then verify it. It will then ask you if you want to update. Select yes and let it do its thing and then when it asks if you want to reboot select yes. This will put you back to stock and may unroot, so you may have to do the root procedure again. Then install CM6 and gapps in same recovery session.
Before all this try wiping cache and davlick cache and reboot. If that doesn't work try powering off phone through clockwork and then boot into bootloader. It will scan for PC36IMG and not find it then you will have options to boot into different things. Select recovery, and it will boot into Clockwork. Wipe cache and davlick cache and reboot. See if this works. If not you will have to nandroid or go back to stock probably unless someone that has had this problem and comes along to help you fix it. Always wipe cache and davlick when installing something new like gapps or kernels and full wipe when installing a new Rom, unless you are updating a Rom then just Davlick and Cache.
As long as the phone turns on it is not bricked.

Where can I download the pc36img? Also, it seems that when I try to wipe dalvik cache, it doesn't do anything.

If you are having issues getting the img on your SD card, if you have a card reader handy just use that to transfer it over

I did find the correct one for my hboot version, but another question I have is do I need to flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip since I rooted using unrevoked 3.32? Or do I just put the PC36IMG on the sd card and flash it? Thanks.
Okay, I seem to have gotten it back to stock. Thank god, thought I lost my evo for a minute! Thanks to those who helped me out, its 4:45 in the morning and now I can finally go to bed! ;]
LOL glad ya got it back.. Yeah thats where I was heading before I seen your post..Its 5:46 am and Im not sure how many Evo people are actually on at this time so...anyway nite
I stayed on to help as long as I could, but had to go to work. Sorry I couldn't be here to help with more questions. Funny I was just getting up for work and you guys were just going to bed.
Glad you got it fixed for now. Remember to flash CM6 from recovery and not Rom Manager. Also, flash Gapps from recovery and not Rom Manager app. Flash CM then gapps and reboot. Make sure you do a full wipe first though. You could also look for Calkulin's tools thread in Dev section of EVO forum and find his wipe all zip. You just flash it like any other zip but it formats data, cache, boot and system partitions so that when you flash a new ROM nothing is left over from old one. Good luck my friend and happy flashing.
PS. I don't think the stock rom would give you s-on since you already had s-off, so you should be good to go. I could be wrong, but as long as you still have a custom recovery and s-off you should be good to flash any Rom.
evo camera

Hi everyone,
I need some help. I recently rooted by HTC Desire and loaded Froyo. Everything has been working perfectly. That is until I tried to run a system update.
Firstly, I got the error "cannot verify file-signature", so I renamed the update to SDCARD: update.zip and ran this from the recovery screen.
The update seemed to run fine, until I was asked to reboot the phone... now it's stuck it a constant boot cycle only getting as far as the splash screen.
Can anyone help me ?
If you rooted your phone than don't do system updated scan.
Did you make a nandroid backup after you rooted your phone?
Have you tried rebooting in recovery mode and wipe cache and wipe data/factory and then flash your phone with the rom again?
Could also try just wipeing cache.
If that dosen't work you might have to format the sd card but i wouldn't jump to doing that and if you do that you should mount your sd card via recovery mode and take the data ther you don't want to lose, like your nandroid backup and other stuff.
If not i would try that before you do it you should nandroid backup your phone!
Wiping all user data won't make a difference. A factory reset will remove all data form the data partition but sysyem stays the same, and that is where the problem is.
If you get the signature verification failed it can mean two things. Either the file was not singed or it was singed but got corrupted/changed. What where you trying to flash?
If you can still boot in to recovery, reflash a rom (with a full wipe) you still have on the sd or mount you sd as mass storage and copy a new rom to the sd.
Just in case, to do a factory reset, choose the "CLEAR STORAGE" option which can be found under the HBOOT menu.. That's what I did when my phone kept getting stuck in a bootloop once, I also did a full wipe + dalvik cache wipe, and then flashed the ROM and it worked.
I cannot do a factory reset. I tried it... same issue. The boots to the flash screen, then gets stuck in a loop. Screen off, vibrate/flash screen on, screen off, vibrate/splash screen on, etc, etc.
Looks like I'll need to do something a little more drastic. Re-flash perhaps ?
Yes, you can try without wiping if you want to keep your data but best thing is a full wipe and reflash.
Am haveing the same problem thinking i unrooted my desire and istalled froyo rom did up date.
My problem seems to be little more then just reboot loop i get red triangle at recovery Fake flash didnt help.
Any ideas?
Oh please, give a solution! on this problem!
I've done the same update and got into a boot loop.
The problem is, I can't get into the recovery menu to flash my backup.
And also tried to reflash the recovery, but Unrevoked won't recognize the phone.
WHAT SHOULD I DO??????
So you updated a rooted phone with an OTA update?
could you post more details.
eg. the rom you are using, the original rom that was on the phone, branded etc....

OK. It's a NOT branded Desire with original Android 2.2 (ROM version 2.10405...), HBOOT 0.93, etc. And yes, I have done system update after Unrevoked rooting (I know it's a mistake)
Any ideas?
download this..
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
boot your phone into fastboot - power and BACK button.
connect to pc.
your phone should display FASTBOOT USB.
run the exe you downloaded as administrator and with any antivirus turned off.
wait...
done...
this will put your phone back to stock and will wipe everything but not your sdcard.
let us know how you get on

Thanks, I've already got that answer. Now trying to download the RUU with my poor connection.....
by the way, do I need a sim in the phone during this process?
I don't think it matters.

Just finished flashing the stock rom. It's really the only way to bring the phone alive
Here's the deal. I got a new 16GB sd card, copied everything over (including hidden files) and it worked fine for about two hours. Then the screen went black but the LED and soft buttons stayed lit. I did a Clockwork recovery (with a version that I've used successfully before) but it couldn't find SD-EXT so it would boot up to the red Droid "eye" thing (right before loading the homescreen) and then just keep showing that animation.
So I put the old card back in, tried again, and it still couldn't find the SD-EXT file so I've got a phone now which is stuck at this animation.
My question is, can I just boot into Clockwork and install Cyanogen (because I couldn't find a DINC custom recovery file anywhere) from a zip on the SD and have everything start working again? Don't want to mess it up more than it already is.
Unless you have made an SD-EXT partition, it will give that "error" in recovery. Its not actually messing anything up. I'm not sure why its bootlooping but you can try wiping data and cache then reboot or you can download a zip from www.dougpiston.com to take your phone back to stock.

I actually discovered that in further research after I posted.
Clearing the cache was a no-go so of DP's site should I go with PB31IMG or with one of his recovery images? I'm think of going with the one with CWM 2.5 on it.
I would try either doing a complete wipe and reflash of whatever rom you choose or you can use the PB31IMG.zip to get back to stock and flash a rom from there. Make sure you're doing a complete wipe as well (wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache) and do it manually in recovery, not with rom manager.
