Hi everyone, I think I made a mistake somewhere along the way and maybe you can help me out.
I bought a Droid incredible from a friend of mine for $20 (cracked digitizer) I'm to scared to root my evo, so I am trying with the cheap broken incredible.
I rooted via unrevoked, installed rom manager, made a backup, downloaded cyagenmod from the rom manager. It did its thing, and now I can't get past boot screen. How do I fixed this? I have a slcd if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help.

did you wipe before you installed cyanogen?
Yes, after I posted in realized I forgot to mention that I did a wipe

When I go into hboot it says "no image" for everything...but the backup image that was made is on the sd card. Do I have to move the file and or renamed it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Do you mean Hboot or recovery? If you are in hboot then toggle down to recovery and from there go to restore and your image should be there...
The "no image" is in HBOOT, and it is looking for any one of three specific files that would be on the root of the SD card. Those would be RUU files, radio files, or something that you put there to update something like that. If they are not there, which unless you are flashing them, then this message is normal.
Otherwise those files shouldn't just sit on your SD card, cause anytime you'd boot into HBOOT, it would want to load them each time.
Make sure you put this image file on the Root of the SD card, if its in a folder HBOOT wont find it.

Ok, thank you everyone for being helpfull.
My Incredible is back up and running. I am typing this message with it.
Funny story, I was under the impression that when you want to select something in the hboot recovery screen you used the power button when in fact your supposed to use the optical button!
Anyway, this won't be the last you heat from me in sure
Thanks again.

Glad to hear your up and running!
Yesterday I picked up a replacement evo. The replacement was a brand new phone, not a refurbished.
Sprint swapped out SD cards at the store from my old evo to the new one and had issue starting it. Phone froze up a several times before he could see if it made phone calls.
I fully charged it and updated prl and profile and still had constant reboots and freezes.
So I rooted my phone to see if a different rom would help and I'm still having the same issues.
My question is, do I need to maybe format my SD card? If so do I need to save any files and folders?
Also I'm currently running cm6, do I need to unroot and put the default rom back on?
Thank you.

I think the cleanest method would be to unroot and put the original ruu on the phone. Either way you should back up your sd card on your pc so you dont loose any information.

What files if any do I need to put back on the SD card?
Or do I just format it and restart the phone
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Just your personal files.....any files needed for re-rooting can always be downloaded again....additionally, you don't want to assume the method you used to root your old phone would be the same way for your new one...

So if unroot my phone and go back to the stock rom, I can then proceed to format my SD card and my evo will still boot?
I don't need to transfer over any system files or folders?

same problem
I have a similiar issue where my evo is not reading my SD now. Tried to backup and retore nandroid and it would never complete. I am assuming the SD may be damaged, however when I boot into recovery it reads everything that is on the SD when I go to flash ROM from SD. I would like to format and see if this is the problem, but will that erase the rom i am currently using?

Formatting your SD Card will do nothing to your ROM

Yes, your phone will still boot. Do not transfer over system files or folders, just transfer pictures/video/etc. from your SD card to your computer, unroot, run the RUU (DO NOT RUN THE 2.3 RUU YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT), then format your card. Oh, and do not accept the OTA Update they are pushing.
Or, you could format it in recovery and see what happens. If you are using AmonRa, go to Wipe ---> SD Card. (Remember - transfer your files to your computer)
So I messed things up a lil ... I restored the factory data on my phone while running CM7 because I am in the process of selling it. So basically I deleted the CM7 Software, all backups that I had saved on my SD Card, and now my phone has no ROM or anything on it.
I tried placing SkyRaider 4.0 and CM7 on my SD Card, by using my wifes phone, but when I went to install zip from sd, it aborts the installation right away. Is there a work around for this, am I doing something completely wrong or am I screwed?
Also, if anyone wants to buy the phone, its an incredible with 3500mAh battery and a car and home charger. Best offer takes it!
well, there are ways to go back to stock and turn s-on through the bootloader by a pb zip method, try that. Also if you are on cwm 3.0.x then older sense roms will not load through it.
you'd prolly get moer responses, in the Q and A section, not in the development.
I agree with drew. Look for a thread of going back to stock. Normally with placing a pb03img.zip in sdcard root then flashing

It sounds like the files are bad that youre trying to install or you need a newer recovery. Try putting the roms on your sd card through the computer then flash.

download the PB31IMG
put the PB31IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard, boot in to hboot and update.
Hope that helps.
Wow, how weird, I just did the exact same thing today. Weird...
Hello,
I am having some serious issues with my Evo. For several weeks now my Gmail accounts have not been syncing at all, incredibly frustrating, to say the least. I was hoping that the Gingerbread update would take care of this, so I followed all the instructions I could find, downloaded the de-odexed zip update, booted into recovery, wiped davlik, then installed that zip, and it seems to have updated (I'm running 2.3.3 now, that's the updated version, right?). However, not only has that not solved my syncing issue, but now when I went into Titanium Backup, it said that it could not establish root access! Also, when I go into ROM Manager and try to "Manage and Restore Backups," nothing comes up, when I know there are 3 backups on there (I was trying to delete one of them to free up space on my SD card).
Maybe related are the terrible space issues I've been having. It's also for some time now been telling me that I'm running low on space, but I have moved virtually all of the big programs to the SD card and deleted things I do not use, so I really don't understand how it's having such space issues.
Anyway, I really need some help here. I guess the number one most important thing I need to figure out is why I am no longer rooted. Can I just reroot like I did in the first place? But I'm also very bothered by this syncing problem, and the space issue is not far behind.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Do you have the superuser app and what version is your hboot?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Oh and do you have a recovery on that still works like among RA or clockwordmod (amon RA is way better tho)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I do have SuperUser, but have used it very little - what can I do with it/what will it tell me?? Not sure what HBoot version I have - where do I find that?
I don't have Amon RA, I do have ClockWorkMod, although I'm a little confused - what is ROM Manager? I'm not sure if ClockWorkMod still works - how can I tell?
Sorry, I'm obviously fairly a novice at this. Thanks much for your quick reply, and thanks in advance for your help.
Superuser is the app that gives you root permission
and rom manager is an app for beginners that will allow people to download roms and making backups doesnt do nothing
OK im going to help you now but your going to have to flash a new rom and everything ok tell me when your ready
Ah, OK. Fantastic, thanks so much!!! I am ready anytime...

In the meantime, anyone have thoughts on my storage issues? It fluctuates like crazy, goes from 50 MB+ free, down to like 4. Driving me absolutely crazy!
I have a year old evo 4G,had cm7 stable,nightlys,beta sense 3.5 rom's,and I deleted everything from phone and sd card,The sd seems like its not putting any new roms to the phone,It boots up to the htc evo 4g screen,then to the sense ''black screen that says' andriod' then just stays there..i go into recovery and install zip and phone says no such files found,bad sd card? Any new rooted stock sense roms to put in then build from there? I don't want the bloat crap,I must be able to remove it,phone has been rooted for a year using unevoked,s-off,Hboot-2.10.0001,Touch panel-atelc03_16ac,Radio-1.36.00.04.02,oct 15 2010...I really need to get this thing working again,boss is always calling me,and I don't want to get into a shouting match over my useless phone,not hat i care anyway... but any help would be helpful.. FYI,Last rom I was on was KINGS bliss and I did a factory reset on that rom,Stupid noobie....
If your on amon ra plug your phone into your computer and in recovery enable usb-ms toggle and then you will be able to put a ROM on your SD card

Do the same thing for clockwork but instead of usb-ms toggle go to mounts and then you will see a option that says usb mass storage

Are you just trying to reflash a ROM onto your phone or are you wanting to recover everything that you deleted from your SD card?
If you are wanting to recover the data you deleted from your SD card I recommend mounting the card to your computer via your recovery and then running file scavenger (free to download) to recover the deleted files.
after you recover your files with filescav then you can reformat the SD card, replace the contents of the card, and continue on your merry way without having to start over from scratch.
I'm trying to dowload a ROM to the sd card,I extracted files to sd card via recovery and micro sd adapter,Then I try to choose zip,apply and always says no such files,always says E-can't open sd/card/update.zip,Installation aborted...I tried 3 diff sd cards,even bought a brand new one with nothing on it,the files are there on the card but...Am I missing something here??? Always worked in the past.... And Yes,I'm trying to re-flash a diff ROM,I'm staying away from the KingsBliss Beta Rom till it gets striaghtened out...
