Ok, So I originally rooted my HTC Evo with unrevoked and clockwork mod.. ive installed some roms and used rom manager and it works well for some roms.. but I have read that Amon-RA is better.. I have tried to change from clockwork to Amon Ra using rom manager and it says it flashes sucessfully but when I go into recovery it says my recovery is still clockwork mod.. does anyone know what would cause this?
this is a link for the PC36IMG.zip of amon ra, what you do is you download it, the put it on the root of your sd card. after that you unplug your phone from the computer, power off the phone, then holding volume down and power at the same time you turn on the phone into bootloader, your phone will recognize the zip automatically and ask you to update, select yes and it will flash amon ra to your phone.

also for a more detailed description here is a link of the thread where the PC36IMG was found
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=amon
I have tried this.. it checks the file on root and then skips the prompt to update..
The only time it does that to me is if I'm already on RA 2.3, maybe try going into ROM manager and clicking flash Clockwork Recovery, then try again with the PC36IMG.zip (I would redownload just to make sure you have the right one) on the root of your sd.
This happened to a friend of mines phone. I think it was set to S-On or something?
I just unrooted it and started over using the AutoRoot v2.4
I have tried this and the file I have is the one he posted I downloaded it and tried again.. still same problem.. it scans the file but does not ask me to update.. I flashed clockwork and tried then flashed ra mon and tried and still clock work mod recovery with no option to update to ra
omg I feel so stupid I just booted into recovery and looked at the top.... S-on Guess ill unrevoked forever again.. I could have sworn I turned it off before rooting my phone in the first place..
You are no longer rooted. Re-root your device.
UPDATE: my response is too late. I see you've figured it out...

how is that possible.. I have been installing themes with no problem (ones that work with clockwork-mod) and I have super user permissions... only error I have is trying to flash recovery..
Update: Used unrevoked forever and had no problems turning s-off and installing amon-ra Thank you people for all of your help!

It happens sometimes. I've never experienced it, but others have. Oftentimes, people are impatient or they panic while waiting for their device to reboot thinking they've crashed and end up pulling the battery. Doing so can cause a variety of problems from no longer being rooted to the most damaging, causing the device to be bricked.

Since I believe I have some related problems.
I got my HTC Desire yesterday and literally spent whole day playing with it, that is trying to root and flash a custom.
So I used the unrEVOked 3.21 and flash the Clockworkmod recovery, but I could never use that recovery because of "e: can't mount" and stuff; I google everything but never found anything viable.
Then, much to my dismay, I realised I missed a step in a rooting guide that told me to check my HDBOOT for pvt4 and then for erase size 40000.
If it was 40k I had to use a custom recovery such as amon ra, (I tried a lot of stuff meanwhile that seemed to have had little to no effect at all).
So I just reflashed with amonra and unrEVOked, but now I can't boot into recovery at all. Rest of the phone works as new, and I do still have the superuser icon in my apps.
And I'm sorry in advance for having my first post be a question, but yea, there's that.
Also, hi!

Sending this before my class, but place this file on your sdcard [in no folder], boot into the bootloader [power phone off, hold vol+down while turning on] After it scans, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery, and you should be on amon_ra 2.3. Anyone with questions, due to my brevity can pm if you have any other troubles.
Thanks, teh roxxorz, I'll try that as soon as I'm done with this lecture.
So I put that .img file on the drive that the phone makes on my pc. And booted it up in bootloader etc, though it does a quick scan, it simply says "wrong or no" file or something. I can barely even read it before it skips on.
And then when I try to boot it into recovery, it just does the same thing again. htc-splash screen and nothing else.

Are you 100% sure that you have root? If you open up terminal emulator on your phone and type in su do you get a #
I have occasionally seen it where even though you have super user you don't have root.
No, you are right. SU: Permission denied.
I have the super-user icon, though, and unrEVOked said everything went good.
So if that's the case, I'm even more lost since I thought I was at least rooted properly.
Since I have Android 2.2, do I just attempt rooting it with like youtube=X_N9DUsh3Mw (not allowed hyperlinking), instead? Bearing in mind I have no idea what the consequences can be of consistently attempting root, I just know that I'll probably have sadz if I brick it.
Also I just realised this isn't the forum for the Desire, which is what I own. I hope it isn't too much trouble.
And more edits: I get a # returned when I write su in the terminal emulator, now.
Just to verify you are now getting # after typing in su at the $ prompt in terminal emulator?
If so, try teh roxxorz's file again and see if that works.
Yea, I am. And I did try that again. Still to no avail.

When you boot into the bootloader, do you get s-on or s-off?

Hey guys! I have no idea where to post, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong section.
I'm very new to rooting and I've seem to come into a major problem. (Atleast in my eyes.) To start off I had gotten my HTC Evo 4g & used the method of UNRevoked to root my Evo. I then found out UNRevoked isn't a full nand unlock & all the nitty gritty, so I came upon Toastcfh's guide to rooting the Evo. I performed half the instructions as told and was then in this boot loop. Right before it happened I (think) I erased the Dalvik Cache, but I definitely hard formatted the whole phone/cache. Anyway as told in the instructions I was suppose to flash the PC36IMG.zip to my phone and I did. Once that all configured it rebooted on itself & now the phone is stuck in boot with stock recovery method. I can load into HBOOT and see that in green lettering it says: SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-0.79.0000, TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab, RADIO-1.39.00.04.26. Please help me. I havent used my phone for a whole day now. :\
To add: Before the PC36IMG.zip got added on my phone, I had clockwork mod recovery. Now I have the stock one I'm guessing. I have tried a stock RUU through HBOOT USB, but the RUU either says some error my phone battery is under 30% (when it's fully charged). Or the RUU will say waiting for device to connect. & I tried putting a rom on my sd card then flashing or whatever and my computer wont open my sd card unless, I put it in the disk reader. Please ask questions, I'll answer as best as I can...thanks!
The current Unrevoked does in fact unlock nand, so you should have stopped there. I am not familiar with Toast's rooting method, so I can't say for certain what happened. The good news is, you are probably fine, you just need to reflash a rom. Since you can't get into recovery, the best way to fix this is to flash a rooted stock pc36img from your hboot. Download the file from THIS THREAD, rename it to pc36img, put it on your sd card and boot into hboot. It will find it automatically and then it will take a few minutes to load it. Once it's loaded it will ask if you want to run the update, choose yes and let it do its thing. When it's done you will have the latest rooted stock rom on there and clockwork recovery. Make sure you delete the old pc36img off your sd card before doing this. Good luck and godspeed.
Did what u said there MetalHead. still getting boot loops at the white htc evo 4g screen and can not get into recovery. Do you have anymore suggestions?
I would try it again but use this PC36IMG.zip instead.
http://www.4shared.com/file/5U4M4eVi/PC36IMG.html?cau2=403tNull
This one is completely stock. You will be unrooted after running it, so you will have to root again.

I was running calkulin's rom on my evo but I decided to give cyanogen a run for its money. I was successful in installing cyanogen 6.1, and when i went to go install the addons, they didn't install properly for whatever reason. I went back into recovery mode and did a wipe of the device and went to install a fresh install of culkulin .. but instead of selecting the item "install zip from sd card" i selected "install update.zip" even though I didn't have an update.zip on my device.
After it tried to do that, it asked me if i wanted to reboot, i selected yes, and now i can't get into recovery mode. I can get into fastboot, but when i try and select recovery, it goes to the white HTC EVO 4G screen, then it goes to the screen with the phone, a red triangle with the exclamation point. If i press vol up + power, it brings up the menu to install from update.zip, wipe cache, wipe data, and reboot. I've selected all the options, i'm LOST.
i'm on a 2010 macbook pro .. I have windows 7 installed via VMware but it doesn't want to recognize my phone.
I was able to install adb on my mac, but it still can't recognize the phone. Any help is much appreciated, i don't want a $300 paper weight. Thanks!
Somehow your recovery might have been overwritten. Download a recovery image, go into fastboot and run the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img equals the filename of the recovery image.
Amon_RA has a PC36IMG.zip of his recovery so you don't have to use command prompt at all, just go to bootloader and flash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
i don't have a way to access the commands via terminal or dos to my phone. my computer can't recognize my device .. i'd prefer to do this via OSX because W7 via vmware isn't stable on my machine.
where can i download a custom image .. i may be able to run it via unrevoked, but when i run unrevoked, it gives me the error Device "- exec'/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -" is not supported at this time.
Sounds like recovery is corrupted, download pc36000.img fkr amon_ra 2.2.1, put it into your root folder of sd card and give it go from fastboot.
I am typing name of recovery from my memory, so it can be wrong.
I read other posts about typing fastboot recovery installation commands, but you have said your adb is not working, so give this a try.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm not sure how to get adb running on the mac but it should be fairly easy. I'd read up on getting your phone connected with adb/fastboot then get the custom recovery img file.
Then you'll do:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(I'm not sure if amon has a readily available image file but you can get the img file for clockworkmod for the evo here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
Just click the evo link, copy it to your fastboot folder and rename it to recovery.img just to make it easier.
Edit, if you have an sdcard apater (or maybe put the card in a digital camera or something so you can access it) you can put this PC36IMG.zip file on it: http://www.mediafire.com/file/s3vsgfwcz5po8hs/PC36IMG.zip
then boot your phone with boot loader, it'll scan the file and hit volume up to apply the update.
Had issue yesterday, my phone would boot directly to fastboot. My issue was a corrupted SD card. I bought a new one and it did the same thing but was able to reformat and it works! Never had this issue until i start pushing dalvich cache to SD. Anyhow check your SD card, try another on see if you can boot a zip from fast boot.
i tried that and it works perfectly! I was able to get a custom rom loaded onto my device and boot up, then i re-ran unrevoked so i could get that custom recovery so i could reload one of my past back ups.
Worked like a charm!

He never said what worked. I am having the same issue and would like to know what worked.
Im actually stuck on the htc evo screen. I can access fastboot as well. Where do i go from there.
I'm having almost the exact same problem as dizzle247. I've tried to flash PC36.img and tried using a new recovery.img but it keeps on sending back to the beginning. I don't know if the fact that my phone is set to S-on has anything to do with it but if I try to switch it off it fails.
Please help
The same thing happened with my phone. How did you end up solving the problem?
If you're in that situation, gona have to run an RUU.
Any solution yet?
How would you run RUU when the phone doesn't boot?
I am having same issue.
I can access fastboot.
I can load a pc36img.zip from my root SD.
I can not access recovery.
Re-flashed amon multiple times, no change.
If I try to go into recovery, it just shows white evo 4g screen.
If I try to regular boot, just shows whit evo 4g screen.
Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, most people that had this problem were never able to get out of it. It happened mainly on AOSP based roms. I'm typing in past tense because it was a fairly common problem a few months ago, haven't heard much about it since.
You can try running an RUU. If it doesn't work and you have insurance, you may need to take it in and eat the $100 deductible.
Some people were flashing radios through hboot and pulling the battery until the device wouldn't even turn on, then taking it in.
However you want to handle it is up to you. I wish that someone had found a solution, but I'd try everything you can find before taking it in. Every phone is different, something may work for yours.

Hi,
I hope this isn't a repeat, but I've searched here and Google to no avail. It may be I'm not searching the right things, because I'm not quite sure how to succinctly describe this problem.
I've rooted my DInc, with S-Off enabled. I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1 now, installed from ROM Manager, which is no version 3.0.0.7. I've got ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 installed as well. When I first rooted my phone, etc. about a month ago, I made a nandroid backup, so I figure its time to make another one. Open ROM Manager, go to Make a New Backup, choose a file name, it reboots into Fastboot. If I then select "Reboot" by pressing the Power button, the phone boots back to Cyanogen and there is no (new) backup file in the clockworkmod/backup directory, where I expect it.
If I select "Bootloader" from the Fastboot menu, it takes me to the HBoot menu, with the options "Fastboot", "Recovery", etc. Then, an error message appears very quickly, about missing PB31IMG.zip files. I'm not sure about the exact text of the message since it disappears so quickly, but I've searched around and it seems to be because that file is missing from the root of my sd card (I checked on Windows, its not because the file is renamed to .zip.zip or something). Solutions such as formatting the sd card to FAT32 (it is, according to Windows) and reflashing ClockworkMod from ROM Manager do not help.
After the error message disappears, I am able to select "Recovery" from the HBoot menu, and the screen flashes the white with black text "HTC Incredible" startup screen before dropping me back into the Fastboot menu. At this point, I usually just give up and reboot and keep using the phone as normal.
Does anyone have any idea where the problem lies? Can someone link me to the proper PB31IMG.zip file for my phone/ROM/radio?
Radio: 2.15.00.07.28
HBOOT - 0.92.0000

Have you tried reflashing ClockworkMod from within ROM Manager?
Personally, I've never had this happen, sorry if reflashing doesn't help

Flashing back to 2.5.1.1 appears to have worked...does anyone have any idea why 2.5.1.2 is apparently broken (probably just on my device)?
Thanks!
I've seen other people reporting problems with 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.2 on amoled devices. They've suggested going back to 2.5.0.5.

I have the exact same problem, except my hboot reports as 0.78 I believe. Either way, the hboot menu is as far as I can get. Any other selection causes continual reboots. This started happening after a spontaneous reboot while driving down the road. I wasn't even using the phone. I do have the latest Clockwork on it, but it really doesn't matter because I can't get to the Clockwork menu anyway. Just the fastboot menu.
It says that USB is enabled in the hboot menu, but with it plugged into my PC, it won't show up in Windows. It's obviously not far enough into the boot cycle to do that.
Any suggestions would be awesome. I see about a dozen other topics started complaining about similar issues. If I leave it sit on the hboot menu, it'll sit there forever and is stable, so I don't believe it's a phone issues. It's almost like, if it were a PC, the boot sector is messed up and it needs an fdisk /mbr. I understand, that doesn't work, I'm just pointing out that I believe the behavior to be the same.
Thanks to anyone that can help!
I guess that, with no way to get into Clockwork and no way to replace Clockwork, I'm kind of stuck. Replacing Clockwork was an idea, but I'm not sure how to do that since hboot is all that's available and I can't choose any options without it rebooting continually. Is there a way to just plug the phone in and reflash Clockwork from my laptop with a Windows app on the laptop?

Do you have Rom Manager installed on your phone? If you do you can always use the last option to install a different version of Clockwork. Give that a try...
I can't get past the "hold down and power" menu. That works fine, but anything I pick reboots the phone. I can't get into the OS at all because it just continually power cycles after I choose from the boot menu. I re-flashed Clockwork and no luck and I've re-flashed the entire phone to stock, same thing. It IS stable and the recovery menu you though. I can jump around in the menu, turn USB on and off, etc, just not boot into anything. It's literally like a computer that needs fdisk /mbr as all of the data seems to be where it should be.
I would try to flash any custom and see if that gets the phone to boot normally.
I took the stock build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000 and zipped it as PB31IMG.zip and when it boots, it'll take the images and flash them. It flashes all of the images in the zip and it takes a little bit to do that. Then it goes back to the menu and I restart it and it goes into the cycle again...
Hmmm. I would have used the unrooting guide to go back to stock just to get the phone back up and running and then unroot it again. If you do go that route DO NOT apply the 7.28 radio again because you will brick you phone being that you already have that radio flashed on your phone. What custom ROM or Kernel were you running before all this happened? I would try flashing that again but clear the data and cache first and see if that gets the phone up again.
I'm currently running the latest Senseless Revolution ROM and did upgrade to the latest ROM manager, but haven't flashed anything yet so no problems........yet!
Should I downgrade to CW 2.5.1.2 anyways since it was a bit sluggish when checking for MDsum?
I've read about some people having crazy problems and others actually not reporting anything bad......so what is the verdict? I'm trying to prepare myself first rather than finding out when my phone is stuck
I seem to be having some of the same problems. I upgraded ClockworkMod to 3.0.0.5 and was able to successfully boot into recovery. I installed CM 7 nightly, then ended up restoring to a backup of CM 6.1.
Now I can't access recovery, when I try I get stuck at the white droid incredible screen. My phone can still boot up so I tried downgrading ClockworkMod to 2.5.1.4, but it says an error occurred while flashing the recovery.
any ideas?

Hey,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this issue I have. I have a rooted Evo, with my latest ROM being Fresh Evo 4.0.0.4 Beta by flipzmode. I was having some issues with the rom, so I was attempting to reflash the rom, however its beta 3 (one update older) version, first. I went through ROM Manager and did a complete backup, then chose install from SD Card and checked the boxes for Wipe Dalvik cache and the other check for wipe cache / data (i forget exactly what it says). ROM manager took over from there, rebooting into recovery and installing the rom, atleast as i thought it as doing. Once it was said and done, I now am at my problem area. It will not boot past the white htc EVO 4G screen. I've given it anywhere from 20-40 minutes to load. I've tried pulling the battery as well. I've even attempted to get into recovery by going into my hboot bootloader. However there, i have ANOTHER problem...I can't pick any of the available options. Its as if my volume buttons just don't work. When I have my SD card loaded and I go into hboot, it does some kinda search which yields five results of No Image Found! it then returns to the main menu where again, I can't scroll up or down the list. It says s-off so I assume that means I'm still rooted. I'm not an expert by any means, and overall I'd say I'm a noob to this stuff, but I am trying to figure it all out. If anyone can help me out with what to do to get my phone running again, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!
Hmmmm, that's odd. You can try putting a PC36IMG of the RUU on the root of your SD card. If you used unrevoked, you'll stay s-off, so all you'll need to do is reflash recovery to flash a rom or restore from a backup. However, you need to use your volume buttons to agree to the flash in the bootloader. In the odd case that it just won't navigate the menu, but the volume buttons are fine, it may still receive the confirmation from the button that you want to flash the PC36IMG.
If that's the case , download this file: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/sto...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip and rename it to PC36IMG, don't add a zip to the end because it's already there. Put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader, when it asks you to update, *try* to agree with the volume up button. If it works, hopefully that'll fix your problem.
It's not the greatest fix, and the chance of it working isn't all that high, but it's all I've got.
Oh, and obviously your volume buttons are fine if you can get into the bootloader, unless a button is stuck.

And don't use ROM Manager.....
Thanks plainjane,
Just a couple more quick details before I try to do what you said, I'm not sure which root method was used for me. My cousin did it for me and with my phone mia, I have no way to find out. Does that effect anything? Also, i'm pretty sure i've used ClockWorkMod recovery, as i remember flashing it through ROM manager a few days ago. I've realized that the volume buttons do work, but only when to accept the update for the pc36img..I read about that before so I tried putting one that I believe was for ClockWorkMod recovery on my sd card, but I wasnt sure if that was the right pc36img file i need. So I can replace that with the one you have linked me with. Will running that cause any problems with the addtional details? I just don't want to end up permanently bricking my phone, so I'd rather cover all my bases.
Thanks again!
I would do 2 things: 1 flash a new recovery, specifically amon_RA and then I would flash a rooted ODEXED stock rom.
Click on the word "amon_RA" above and download the PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Make sure there is NO OTHER FILE with that same name on the root of your card. Turn off your device and then boot it to the bootloader screen. After a pause, the file should be autodetected and you should be prompted to install. follow the easy instructions to install. Afterwards, you should be able to go into recovery and flash a rom. Download the rooted stock rom by clicking on "rooted ODEXED stock rom" above. Afterwards, put it on your SD card and flash it from recovery. Once you've successfully flashed a rom and if you're set on re-using ClockWorkMod recovery, you can always download the ROM Manager app and have it install ClockWorkMod recovery for you, but I recommend you stay with amon_RA.

Thank you, thank you, thank you plainjane! I decided to just go for it and try your method, it took care of my phone not being able to boot-up. I'm now at what seems like a stock rom.

Thanks for your suggestion dougjamal, I actually attempted your method first, but I still wasn't able to select the recovery option from the hboot bootloader main screen after running the PC36IMG, so I couldnt flash the rom.
So, I still have a couple of the same problems. I still can't choose the recovery option from the bootloader menu, I've tried multiple times to use a PC36IMG for ClockWorkMod recovery and Amon_ra. Also, while using the actual phone, my power button seems to not work. It doesnt turn of the screen, nor does longpressing it allow me to shut off the phone. If it helps to diagnose the problem, since i'm pretty sure up until today my power button still worked, whenever I pull my battery and put it back in, the phone boots automatically without me pressing the power button. Anyone have any suggestions?
Otherwise, is there anyway for me to just go back to complete stock again and attempt rooting the phone again, and starting completely from scratch?
Thanks again for everyone's help!
Boot into the bootloader screen and see if you're still rooted (S-OFF). If it displays S-ON then you will not be able to make changes to your device.

Yes, it still says S-OFF. I don't understand why I can't scroll through the menu nor turn off my screen though. Even when it times out, I can't turn the display back on. I have to plug in a charger.
Hello. I'm in a bit of a bind which I cannot get myself out of, so I am posting here. I've been around for over a year lingering, updating, trying new things, etc. I came across a free Incredible, which I attempted to root, and install a ROM onto. I rooted the phone with Unrevoked 3, booted into Clockwork mod recovery, made a nandroid, and installed the ROM. The installation was successful, however, on boot after the HTC splash screen the phone vibrates 5 times and the led flashes green constantly. The same thing happened when I tried to boot into recovery.
I found that the phone booted to the Set Up, which crashed, if it was plugged into a computer. I ADB saw the device but I could not push files or execute commands. Unrevoked S-OFF would not work also.
After Googling, I found a 2.2 RUU, which installed successfully, but I get the same boot problems. If the USB is plugged into a computer before the phone is turned on I actually get to Android and can play around. The phone will not recognize any memory, SD or internal; only phone memory is recognized. I tried ADB again with no luck, most likely has to do with the phone not recognizing memory. So I flashed the RUU from HBOOT which flashed fine, but the same problems still persist.
I am out of ideas, which I hope someone has anything I can try.

I cannot thank you enough.
Edit: Unrevoked gave me s-off. I want to be clear this time before I install any ROM. Do I need to run unrevoked-forever.zip? I am 99.999% positive I do not since I already have s-off. I want to get a new ROM on tonight.
Unrevoked 3 now contains the forever patch, as previous versions did not. So you are good to go flash away, after making a nandroid of course
No need for unrevoked forever if you are s-off
Thanks! On my way to a new ROM.
