I feel retarded

OK, this is downright embarrassing, I have linux experience, I have experience unlocking and flashing almost every HTC winmo device, and right now I seriously need a clue on how to flash my evo with damagecontrol.. i believe i already rooted it properly, i come to this conclusion by typing "id" at the terminal on the device and the uid is root. seriously i feel dumb right now.

well if you are rooted all you need to do is put the rom zip on your memory card and then go into recovery..
from there wipe then flash from zip.

from what ive seen soo far, might i have to rename the damagecontrol rom zip to pc36IMG.zip? and to get to the recovery screen just hold vol down and power?

You don't need to rename it. Yes, that is how you get into recovery. If you're using ClockworkMod recovery, then you should select "Install zip from SD card" and then browse to the ROM, then install it. You might need to wipe your data first for it to work properly. Do a nandroid backup first in case something goes wrong.

ROM Manager... works wonders for noobs like us

ok, Maybe i need to see the whole picture in a verifyable way. Just so i can see this thing from the inside out i have some more questions.
1. How do i verify that I have full root access? I am root when i "id" at console.
2. Im assuming NAND is protected storage onboard the phone.. How do i verify I have it unlocked?
3. How do i know the recovery image has been flashed?
Where these questions come from is the fact that I used jiqqaman's OTA simple root witch i think was a big mistake if i was to understand what is actually happening and being done.. so basically after running OTA simple root i have no idea whats been done, or how it was done...

if you used simply root you should be ok.. i rooted my Evo 1st thing the "old way".. not sure how to check if you are fully rooted. maybe someone else can help there.
1st thing you need to do is find the pc36IMG.zip and delete it of remane it.... i did mine root-pc36IMG.zip
then power off the phone..... when its off hold the power button and volume down ( same time) this should give you a white screen while it reads for the pc36 zip... since you remaned it nothing will happen.... after this you should see recovery.. should be the 2nd one...
volume down to highlight it and hit power buttom
the phone should go into recover mode.... from there you should see wipe etc... wipe data and cache then flash rom from zip
dont remane the rom.... volume keys to navigate..
hope this helps

ok, so far so good, but when i go to flash the new rom, I choose install update from SDcard, it then looks for it and cant find it. The rom is on the root of the SD and it's named "DamageControlv3.1.2-deodexed.zip" also trying the ROM manager pops an error of "an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands."

Alright what you need to do is download ROM manager from the market. Once you do that do the "flash clockworkmod recovery" and then once its done click on "reboot into recovery" then you should be able to install the ROM. Hope this helped

it should find the rom.. where you can volume down to highlight it.
are you unpluged from the computer while you do this?
once rooted.. simply put the rom in your card and unplug the phone to flash.

Ok, The missing link here being the clockwork recovery mod.. Think im back on track here

well once i had rooted my phone (this was over a month ago) via unrevoked it installed superuser for me... so idk. and it was on the stock ROM

Okay I have no clue what you have and don't have. But a few thoughts, make sure you are choosing install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard and not apply sdcard:update.zip. If you are unsure you have a recovery image flashed, in extras on SimpleRoot there is an option to flash recovery. Other than that not too sure what is wrong.

unrevoke will only give you root and not nand unlocked...,you need to run toast method 2 nand unlock.

When you boot into recovery (while the phone is off hold volume down and power up) check the top of the screen to see what version hboot you have. If you ran simple root and showing version 0.79.0000 then something went wrong. It should say 0.76.2000

I am having the exact same issue. I get the error message from rom manager as well. And I cannot tether. I flashed some other roms that have had too many bugs to count so I am back at "just rooted" nandroid restore and am getting the same errors. What is the next step?

He mentioned that he ran simple root program not unrevoked and simple root will unlock nand. See my post above to verify if your actually rooted. If hboot version is .79 then you have not unlocked nand.

success, it seems once youve already used simpleroot, it's a PITA to get clockwork on it unless you use the option in extras of simpleroot. Success is mine, although i think i have a few more grey hairs for it. Thanks to all those who helped. And to put out words of advice for any other newbs... when they say wipe, they mean cache, userdata AND DELVIC! If you dont you might crap yourself when the phone goes into boot loop! I know i almost lost it. Thanks again everyone!

Can not load Amon Ra over Clockwork to save my soul...grrr

Ok I have tried the terminal emulator, adb, I have uninstalled ROM Manger and re installed it. i have tried to use boot alternate recovery. All to no avail. Does any one have a clue how I can get Amon Ra loaded. BTW I have searched and read every post on this nothing seems to work.

Do you have S-OFF?

Ok Im lost what is S off, maybe the issue...

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.

Yeah I tried all that putting it on the card and all but I still couldn't get ClockWork off the phone. But after I put Unrevoked Forever on and turn off S-ON it worked like a charm.. Guess you learn something every day.

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.

[Q] Bricked? ....maybe, please help

So I successfully rooted my phones recently using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045 and everything worked fine until I screwed up a rom flash and sent it into a looping boot. Now my pc only recognizes it as qualcomm three times after I select recovery from bootloader so I cannot boot the Amon Ra Recovery. Also I get fives vibrates and the blinking led if it doesn't go into bootloader.

Have you tried not using your computer volume down button and power button puts it into bootloader then scroll to recovery
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Try reflashing your recovery. Go to the Amon Ra thread and grab the PC36IMG.zip. Put it on your SD card root and then boot into the bootloader. Press volume up to flash it once it prompts you.

Sounds like you're in diagnostic mode. Try pulling the battery and letting it sit for a minute or so

You need to put your SD card in an adapter so you can connect it to your computer, open it up and just click and drag the file in it. Once on the SD card, if you boot using volume down, the phone will automatically look for that file first.

Ok well I just realized that on the bootloader screen it say s-on and I couldn't get PC36IMG to work...it doesn't ask if I want to do anything with the file it checks it then nothing happens.

Then you aren't rooted. Try putting the stock pc36img.zip on your SD to boot back to the stock rom, and then use unrevoked.

Actual Help
Alright let me give you some help: The same thing happened to me. Download the Autoroot method here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448&highlight=autoroot
get to the screen with the red exclamation point and make sure your phone is plugged in
get into the autoroot v2.3 folder and select StartRecovery.bat.
if the deamen fails then you need to go into your computers Task Manager and stop adb.exe in processes
then try StartRecovery.bat again until you can get it to boot a temporary recovery on your phone
From here, start up your USB within the recovery and transfer the URFSOff.zip file from within the AutoRoot v2.3 subfolder called res.
You can also transfer the PC36IMG.zip image I posted below to your SDCard just to make sure its there and good to go... This is the newest RA recovery (i think 2.3).
Go ahead and flash the URFSoff.zip file from within the temporary recovery. This will give you S-Off on the bootscreen allowing you to flash the recovery.
Turn you phone off and boot into bootloader by pressing power and volume (sorry at this point i really don't know how in dept I need to be).
When the bootloader starts up it should automatically look for the PC36IMG.zip
It will find it and load it up then ask you if you want to update the recovery...go ahead and do this...
I would not go ahead and reboot your phone upon the prompt instead get back to the bootloader by selecting no (i think its volume down).
Now you should select Recovery and you should have a rooted full recovery to allow you to flash a custom rom. Just download any rooted rom...and use USB toggle to load it to the SD. Let me know if you need any help

Am I supposed to just simply run this file as an administrator? Because that did not work...I apologize for any stupidity for I am very new to all this.

What exactly is going on can you get to the screen with the red exclamation point....did you download the autoroot2.3 method. Unzipped it to a common folder and then just go into the folder to find all the files....you may have to run as an administrator but I don't know....make sure you have HTC sync and Android sdk installed.on your comp too.

Alright I got it figured out. Finally the stock rom booted so I'm up and running again thanks for the help everyone.

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

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?

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.

Did you get it straightened out yet? What method of rooting were you using? When you boot to the bootloader, does it show you Ship S on or Ship S off? Report back, and I'll try to give you further instructions.

Okay. It sounds like you were using AutoRoot, I think. So your bootloader shows S off now. Do you have a recovery installed? From the bootloader, select recovery. What happens? Does it successfully boot to recovery, or does it give you a black screen with a triangle and exclamation point? If its the triangle and exclamation point, you don't have recovery, and you need to flash recovery. That's the next step. I'll attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra V2.3. Download that file, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. (you may need to put your sd card into a card reader to do this). Once the file is on your sd card, put the card back in, and boot to your bootloader. It should scan the sd card and find the PC36IMG, then ask you to press volume up to update. Do it. When it finishes, choose no to reboot, then select 'recovery' from the bootloader screen. From that point, you should then boot into recovery. If you successfully boot to recovery, you can then do a full wipe and flash a rom. let me know if you don't know how to do that.

That's an outdated method that doesn't work any more, right now you just have old firmware on your phone and that is why it won't let you boot normally. You're going to want to pull the battery and then hold vol down while turning it on to get to the bootloader. From there put it in fastboot mode and flash the 3.70 RUU. That should get you back up and running.
Once that is done there is a sticky in the Q&A section that has links to newer root methods in it.

i had that prob with unrevoked i pulled the battery held the vol. down an power to get the red triangle up restarted unrevoked and it finished it and got me rooted

Save the file on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Power off your device. Now simultaneously, press the down volume button and the power button until your device starts. When you enter the bootloader screen, there will be a short pause and then several lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, you will have options o choose. Choose "recovery". You will then boot into your recovery. Once you're in recovery, the menus are pretty self explanatory. There should be a wipe menu or something that pertains to wiping cache, dalvik, factory reset, etcetera. Basically, wipe everything in the menu except he SD card itself. Now go to the flash menu or something that pertains to flashing a zip. Select it and then select to flash the RUU rom file you just downloaded. Be patient. When it is complete, you should be given an option to reboot. Select reboot and wait until you device finish booting.
