I've had this phone for a about a month, and decided to get adventurous - should have left it alone.
I ran unrevoked the day I got the phone and decided to try cyanogem - it didn't work, got stuck on splash screen so I recovered my stock backup. I read in the developers forums about needing flash a new bootloader and use amon-ra instead of clockwork to load cyanogem.... I got the PC36IMG from the forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764062&page=2
I've been stuck in boot loop since then.
I have followed all of the suggestions for those stuck in bootloop in the thread, (including both versions of the PC36IMG and no luck...
I went as far as running unrevoked forever again, in the hopes that it would put it back to the way it was before I flashed the file from the post.
I can get into recovery, and the hboot version is 2.02
none of my backups will install ( error 7), and the cyanogem 7 nightly will not load.
I am 350 miles away from home for the next two weeks and can't call home
to recap
1) unrevoked forever - ok
2) tried to flash cyanogem7 - got stuck in bootloop
3) flashed clockwork - ok
4) recovered backup - ok
5) flashed PC36IMG from above thread - stuck in bootloop wont load rom
6) flashed alternative PC36IMG from above thread - stuck in bootloop wont load rom
7) flashed clockwork again - ok
8) tried to restore backup - error 7
9) flashed mtd-eng.zip (from xda) - hboot .76 - hboot version on phone did not change
10) flashed mtd-eng.zip (from xda) - hboot .76.200 - hboot version on phone did not change
11) unrevoked forever - completed but still stuck in bootloop/recovery
10)
7) flashed clockwork again - ok
I really don't know where to go from here, and everything I try from the xda forums doesnt work. Any help with this will be deeply appreciated..

It is always a good idea to backup your rom, and espciallu your wimax. And using the format all won't kill your 4G keys.
wimaxx?
Again noob here... srry...
I assume backing up my roms would just be copying them from the sd card, but the wimax is something I haven't run across yet. How do you back that up?

Well you backup the rom that way, but when someone says "backup your rom" they mean you boot into recovery and select back, and it backups your system image, and you can restore it if something goes wrong.
clockwork recovery- selct backup/restore, select backup, and you're done
amon_ra- select backup/restore, select which items you want
Wimax is the official name for 4G, so if you hear wimax, they mean 4G. Clockwork backs up wimax automatically, and it can be extracted from the zip and copied if on a computer. On amon_ra 2.3 you have to physically select wimax and back it up, otherwise it can be lost.
I think I got it
so ... move calkulins to sd card
install from zip
flash backup
trying now

Format all only touches the system data, like the cache, ect. But its always handy to backup the contents every so often. And sound good, I'll be around.
didn't work
error while flashing boot image
I also tried to install CM7, that didn't go either - status 7
Awkward. let me see if I find it. But you can just click:
format data, wipe cache, and under advanced [if on clockwork] wipe dalvik, and it does the same thing. I've never used the format all zip and been just fine.
I am using clockwork, will try dalvic method

Alright, so wipe data/factory restore, wipe cache, and then under advanced, wipe dalvik cache, and you'll be all set.
I'm sorry, but still sys error while flashing boot image....
I have 3 recoveries saved... will try the other two, as well as CM7
Well apparently it doesn't like the file. What exactly are you trying to do now, flasha new rom?
just get A rom to work..
the phone won't boot, I can only get it into recovery.
I started out trying to get CM7, but now I just want it to work. lol
Well try flashing the latest CM7 nightly. And to use that [CM7] you are on the 3.0+ version of clockwork?
Some background:
-This is my 4th Evo. Previous 3 were all rooted.
-Rec'd the new Evo last Thursday, rooted it immediately using the Auto Root method.
-Everything was successful, and Sprint Lover's ROM was automatically flashed on my phone, until I tried flashing a new rom.
Roms I tried flashing:
-MIUI
-BOS "Royal Liquid"
What happens:
-With MIUI, it flashes, restarts and then boots up all the way and then freezes after 20 secs and restarts, EVERY TIME.
-With BOS, stuck in bootloop. Keeps restarting at the white "htc EVO 4g" screen.
Tried both recoveries, Amon_RA AND Clockword Mod(CWM).
Yes, wiped every time. Even d/led "Calkulin's Format ALL" and flashed it (in Amon RA, it wouldn't let me in CWM.)
Please help, and ask me any questions you may need. I'll do my best to provide every answer.
I'm dealing with the same issues except i was trying to flash to Koni Elite 3
I'm can't even do a restore,cuz i get a recovery error.
Update i can do a recovery to an old backup

Next time just update your same post or make a thread of your own. No sense of posting your problems in someone's else's problems thread. But I'm glad it's working for you now.
[Update]
Just d/led and flashed CM7 using ClockwordMod. Everything seems to be working fine.
I don't know what's going on anymore.
I am going to try to flash BOS Royal Liquid again and see what happens.
Make sure your device still displays "S-OFF" in the bootloader screen. Reflash amon RA or flash amon RA v2.3 and then go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it except the SD card itself. Now flash the rom you want to flash.

In the bootloader, my info reads:
SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.11.19
Oct 15 2010, 12:07:00
Not sure if any of that means anything.
Also, I tried that, and nothing! =[
-D/led Amon_RA v2.3 from his post. Flashed it using Terminal Emulator.
-Flashed Calkulin's Format ALL
-Wiped everything but "SDCARD" and "SDCard:.android_secure"
-Flashed ROM BOS.. and same thing; bootloop...
One thing I noticed is that when I try to Wipe Dalvik Cache in Amon-RA, it says:
"Formatting DATA: dalvik-cache...
Formatting CACHE: calvik-cache...
Skipping format SDEXT:dalvik-cache...
DALVIK-CACHE: wipe complete!"
That 3rd line kinda has me worried.. I don't think I ever seen that before.
And when I try to Wipe Dalvik-Cache in CWM, it gives me:
"E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"
even BEFORE I select "yes" from the menu.
Once I select "yes".. IMMEDIATELY it says "Dalvik Cache wiped."
I don't remember that either from my previous phones.
ALSO TRIED..
I just Flashed an older version of CWM(v2.5.0.7) that allows to flash Amend zips.
-Then tried wiping, and when I tried wiping "Dalvik-cache" this is what I got:
"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)"
Could that be the problem?
[Another update..]
When I try to flash the Royal Liquid ROMS in CWM, it gives me an error saying something like:
"Cannot install because of Android 1.5 or something.
It was necessary to something something Android 3.0 Gingerbread" or something like that.
Does this mean I can only flash Gingerbread ROMS.. which is CM7 is the only one that works?
The error when trying to flash the BOS rom is because of how it is packed. A lot of people still like to packages their ROMs using an older way that I guess google and Kush are wanting to phase out. It should flash ok with clockwork 2.5 or Amon RA's.
With the reboot issue it sounds like something may have gotten corrupted on your phone. If you still have the autoroot folder on your computer try making a backup on just your Data and .android partitions, and then run the FlashZip script that comes with autoroot and use it to flash the PC36IMG_SprintLovers...zip. That one should give you a clean flash that you can work from. It may be a good idea to mount your sd card as a disk drive and scan it for errors too, a corrupt sd card can do all sorts of weird stuff.

Just tried it. Same thing bro.
What I did:
-Backed up CM7 in CWM.
-Flashed Amon_RA v2.3 via Terminal Emulator
-Backed up data and .android partitions in recovery
-Restarted phone and ran "FlashZip", chose Option 1 "SPrintLover....zip"
-Flashed it successfully.
-Restarted phone to make sure it works. Went back into recovery and wiped everthing (factory reset, cache, dalvik cache and data), also flashed "Format All"
-Tried flashing BOS and bootloop again.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by "pulling the sd card". Care to elaborate?
Also an update:
While trying to get BOS to work, I was stuck in bootloop.
So I reflashed it again without wiping anything.
It bootlooped 4 times and then PHONE TURNED ON!! Using BOS rom.
However, same as MIUI, about 10 secs into it, the phone freezes and restarts.
What do you think it could be?
MIUI does the same thing, except the whole bootloop trial.

Try pulling the sd card out of the phone to see if anything changes. You can find it under the battery.

Lol. Wow bro, way to put it like that and make me feel silly.
I thought maybe "pulling the battery" has a different means in terms of rooting.
And yes, I re-flashed BOS and powered the phone off,
-removed SD card
-Restarted and again, stuck in bootloop.
Btw, did you see my update in my previous post?
Also, I thank you VERY much for taking your time to try and help me.
Seems like only Gingerbread based roms (like CM7) are working. I haven't tried any other ones, other than Sprint Lovers and CM7, but they seem to work perfectly fine without ANY problems.
Have you tried:
Pulling the battery, going back to recovery and wiping dalvik and cache again then rebooting (sorry if I missed you doing this)
or
Re-downloading the BOS ROM, could be a bad download, esp if downloaded from your phone
or
Flashing a completely different ROM like Unleashed, Myn, EViO or MikFroyo?
Sorry, didn't mean for it to come across like that. It's possible there is just something about that ron that doesn't want to work with your phone.
If you want to send me the logcat I can take a look at it for ya.

Yes. Just tried that brother and doesn't work. (referring to 1&2)
I will try downloading another rom now.
Hopefully BOS and MIUI are just having their own problems, as CM7 works just fine.

3. Go launch the program thats crashing, allow it to crash
4. Go back to aLogcat
5. Menu -> Send
6. Email it to yourself, then post it on here for shinzul/toast + thread
Option #2
1. Hook your phone to your computer with the usb cable
2. With your fav CLI type: "adb shell logcat > crashlog.txt" (w/o the " ")
3. On the EVO launch the program that's causing problems, allow it to crash
4. In the CLI hit "crtl+c" (to stop the logging process)
5. In the same folder as adb will be a text file called "crashlog.txt"
6. Post it on here so that shinzul/toast + thread can take a look at it
Option #3
1. open terminal on your phone
2. if the character showing is a '$' type "su"
3. type "locat > /sdcard/logcat.txt"

Instructions on how get a logcat
It is slowly driving me mad. I can get into recovery and restore my current ROM (leaked GB base). However, if I flash a new rom - any rom - it flashes, reboots into white HTC boot screen, and just hangs there.
I'm using ROM manager, clockwork.
What do I do? It doesn't make sense.
Thanks for any advice.
Later.
1. Stop using ROM Manager
2. Go to the link below and download the PC36IMG.zip file for amon RA v2.3 and place it on the root of your SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
3. Shutdown your device.
4. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. There will be a short pause and then a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install it. Follow the easy prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the backup/restore menu and make a nandroid backup of your current setup.
5. Now go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card.
6. Go to the flash menu and flash the rom you desire to flash.

ROM Manager has its uses, but, in my opinion, it is far too easy to simply boot or reboot into recovery and flash, especially with amon RA. It has a common sense menu layout.

Just MY opinion, but ROM Manager is useless. I see more people have issues because of ROM Manager. My advice, dump it and do everything in Recovery.

Hmmm, so what happens if I'm still having this problem after trying this fix? I've been having the "can't flash any other roms because they all hang at the white evo4g screen" problem and have been stuck on the same rom for over a month now. Is there something else I can try if this doesn't work?

I would do a clean wipe, factory/data, cache, and dalvik, then go to the bootloader, select the clear storage for overkill, then try to flash a rom.

Thanks for the quick reply man. Tried the wipe of data, cache and dalvik, rebooted to bootloader and cleared storage. Tried to install a rom and still hung up at the htc evo 4g white boot screen. Anything else I can try?
Which rom are you trying to flash? I would re-download it to make sure its not corrupted in any fashion.
Hmmm I was wondering if that might be the problem, because I've gotten this rom to flash ONCE before. It's the End of Days rom from Magnus. I got it to work the first time I tried to flash it but then at some point I rebooted it and it started boot looping to the point where I couldn't get it to load anymore. That's when I wiped, tried to reflash the rom and all this madness started. I'll try to redownload, but I figured if the ROM worked once, it should be able to work again... right? I mean I'm not flashing it any differently.

Yea I tried the Pc36img thing already too. Let the bootloader find it, applied the update, rebooted into recovery, reflashed, nothing. Same results, hung up on white evo screen.
I'm actually noticing that when I try to wipe the "sd ext" in Amon Ra's wipe menu, it just says "skipping format sdext" or something like that, is that normal?

That's normal; it only says that because you don't have that partition. The only thing I can think of at this point would be to backup everything, quickly unroot, then re-root.
My Evo is doing something similar. I flash ANY of the new Sense 2.x (or Sense 3.0) ROMs, and they just reboot on the white HTC EVO 4G screen. Ive wiped everything, used Calks Format All, Im using the latest Amons, etc to no avail. However, all AOSP GB ROMs (MIUI,CM7, EoD, etc) work like a charm! Any kind soul that knows what the hell is going on with my phone?
I am fully rooted had VR KINGDOM BETA 1 did a nand backup tried to save some space on my phone using Calkulins (Firerat) custom recovery mtd and boot custom mtd follolwed all instructions went to reboot now phone hangs on splash screen. Tried to restore a previous backup of Mikfroyo 4.62 using same procedure it hangs on boot anim...I still have access to recovery amon ra 2.3 on phone but I am lost as to how to get my phone up and running again...was at work all day sick to stomach thinking I have f-d my phone up...PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
What you can do is a clean wipe, then restore the backup, flash the rom over itself, or do a clean wipe, and then flash a new rom. Did you rename the backup?
Here are my thoughts, you probably wiped the ROM when you modified your partitions and you never flashed a new ROM so you have nothing to boot into. Another thought is maybe the nandroid you are restoring has partitions that are too big/small for your new partition sizes and they can't be restored and/or nandroids are not compatible once you modify the partition sizes. I would just try to flash a new ROM image and see if it boots.
Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache , and sdext. Then restore your backup of mikfroyo and reboot. Let it sit and be... patient

I would assume that since he's not getting an error when restoring, that he didn't improperly rename it.
OK GUYS first off HUGE THANKS for quick reply !!!! I have done complete wipes, flashed Kingdom backup...nothing... I even had the PC36IMG.zip of Sprint lovers Rom and tried that cuz it has saved my EVO before but when I tried the update it unzipped all but system update ...said "fail uz" on bootloader screen. Is there any way to get that calkulins off my phone. Oh and at one point when I booted into recovery from bootloader it said at bottom E:/ Can't open cache. Only Mik backup is named...Kingdom is named what amon ra put ( date time)...PLEASE HELP ABOUT TO CRY!!!!
Did you try to flash a new ROM via recovery?
When I tried to restore Mik backup it got as far as the boot anim then screen times out. Only Rom I have on my phone to flash is the VR KINGDOM BETA. I am using my gf EVO shift to post guys please be patient with me...just want my EVO back!!!!
Is it possible to download a Rom to gf phone and put on sdcard to flash to my phone or will I lose recovery without MY EVO sdcard...she is not rooted
When I flash a new Rom do I have to do all the steps for the calkulins recovery and boot custom mtd...I would like to just get rid of it. I have used calkulins method in the past with no probs...so why now and why can't I even use the PC36IMG.zip Sprint lovers !!!!! I figured if I still had access to recovery my phone is still savable...??? Is it???
You can flash from her card. Your recovery is not stored on your sd card
If you go to your amon, and choose the usb option, second choice I believe, it will mount your phone to your computer as disk drive and you can transfer a ROM from your computer.
Will download a Rom now and try...will let you know....BIG THANKS!!!

Yea its not hard, as some users have issues with clockwork. Just be sure to make a backup immediately as your can't restore CWM, and make a wimax backup.

Ok good, you're welcome and good luck, post any problems... but remember, be patient... if it isn't bootlooping, it means is working! ( Assuming it gets to the bootanimation)

So I've flashed to CM7 3 times now and each time I get everything setup correctly, my apps restored etc. But as soon as I go to reboot I get stuck on the CM7 loading screen forever. The image is animated, but it will not finish.. it will go all night if I let it.
I have a feeling the issue is in the method im using to install. I'm coming from Fresh 3.5 using Amon Ra recovery. I cleared all user data, dalvik cache and then flashed the rom. I then flashed gapps and it boots into CM7 fine. The reboot is the problem. Am I missing a step? Should I be clearing/formating/deleting more before flashing the new ROM?
Thanks guys. This forum has been a huge resource for me in the last couple weeks. <3

I think i know what ur doing wrong first flash the rom then reboot then go back to amon ra wipe cache and then flash gapps and if it still doesnt work then do the exact same things but with clockwordmod (which u can both flash from rom manager).

Followup Question:
Can I restore a Clockwork Backup using Amon RA? Amon wants to check the nandroid folder for backups..and I don't have any nandroid backups (not sure how I didnt do one). can I move a existing clockwork backup from the clockwork folder to the nandroid folder on my SD's root and use that?
Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to flash to clockwork? Now when flashing to CM7 or Fresh I'm getting stuck on the loading screen.. Thanks
So, it looks like the issue is with gapps. When I flash CM7 it works great..once I reboot into recovery, flash gapps, I get the freezing error. I am using version:
gapps-hdpi-20101113-signed.zip
Is this what I should be using?
No there's a newer version you can use let me see if I can find it and get you a link...
Edit: I found the one on my SD card its not the newest but it should work
