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.

I have the EODv2 Rom and I've been trying to flash the newest radio update EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02 and it's not working. Do I need to wipe anything before flashing? The file is in the root of my sd card but for some reason my phone stays on 2.15.00.11.19 after I flash. If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks

Use Amon Ra recovery if you're using clockwork.

No actually its from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
I actually just scrolled through the thread and it said it doesn't work with Clockwork Mod 3.0.0 but it will work with amon_ra recovery but when I installed that from the market it wouldn't work. It says you can only use this feature with VaelPak (which is the only app for the results when I searched amon_ra in the market) and is what I downloaded. It also says if you are running Vaelpak you did not allow settings root when it prompted and to purchase Rapid Reboot from the market (which I did also). So when I tried to reboot into recovery from this Rapid Reboot app (which I had to pay for) it still boots me into Clockwork Mod! UGH! some of this stuff is so frustrating!
You can install Amon Ra in hboot. Go to their webpage for instructions. Clockwork fails more than it succeeds besides downloading roms. If you flash new radios, Wimax, etc with clockwork it won't work. Learn to flash manually and with both recoveries to achieve optimum results. Here's a link for the newest radios:

Damn, hard day?
I don't think you'll be finding amonRA recovery in the market.
Go to his thread, and DL the pc36img version of amonRA 2.3. Then (as other poster said) drop it in root of sd card, and reboot. The file (recovery) is actually posted in 2 of the 3 threads above yours. Check the thread labeled "bootloop, no recovery".
But I would still go to amons thread to check the md5 on it (astro file explorer displays md5s if you need).
Also, if you're using CWM now, you're probably using rom manager as well. If so, I believe you can scroll to bottom (in rom manager) and select 'install alternate recovery'.
Good luck

Got it. Thanks so much!
So, you've seen those new Sense 3.0 ROMs floating around, but haven't had an opportunity to try them yet? Well, I've developed a simplified method for getting you rolling with Virtuous Unity 1.31. Of course, after you have installed the DZ Hboot, you can install any Sense 3.0 ROM you wish, even though this guide is specifically for Unity.
This guide will show you how to install the DZ Hboot, and the Virtuous Unity ROM, with out using adb or a computer. The entire process is done on the phone.
First, let me thank the Virtuous dev team responsible for this gem of a ROM. Excellent work, and we tip our hats.
Now, this installation requires the following:
A rooted G2 with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.4.
Two MicroSD cards.
Optional: WiFi access, Tapatalk and Opera Mobile, installed internally. Opera makes downloading the required files much more reliable, and it can be easier using TT to browse this page.
The first thing you should do is stop by www.VirtuousRom.com, and check things out there. The Unity ROM and the OC frequency patch come from their website, and I firmly believe in giving credit where it is due.
Once you are ready to begin, download Unity 1.31 from this link, preferably via WiFi. This beast is about 400MBs, so be you may not want to deal with cellular speeds. You can also find this ROM on RomManager, if you prefer, under the Virtuous tab.
http://www.multiupload.com/TS4IAWJVMZ
Once that has finished, you should download the OC Frequency patch. You may not need it, but you definitely want to have it already downloaded if it is needed.
http://unity.flemmard.net/patches/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip
You will also want to download a good radio to use, since the DZ Hboot will overwrite your current radio. This is the most current compatible radio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r1tal256p11uzyz
Once you have finished downloading these files, use a file manager (ES File Manager or Astro, etc) to check the SDCard root (/sdcard/) to make sure there is no file named PC10IMG.zip located there. I'll explain why shortly. After you have confirmed this, shut off your phone, remove the battery, remove the SDCard, and insert the second card. Replace the battery, and reboot.
After the phone is running again, you need to download this file: http://db.tt/z3nb1hhN If the link stops working, please PM me so I can upload the file to an alternative service, as this is from my personal Dropbox.
When the download finishes, use a file manager, and find /download/DZHboot_PC10IMG.zip. Copy/paste it to the root of your SDCard, and then rename it PC10IMG.zip.
A quick word about PC10IMG.zip: this file, when present on the root of your SDCard, will automatically be read by your bootloader. We want this to update your HBoot. However, the reason we DO NOT want a PC10IMG on the first card is because this file also prevents the bootloader from being able to enter recovery. This is why this method requires two cards. One to flash the HBoot, and one to enter recovery to flash a ROM. Once the HBoot flashes, it will wipe your phone, so you must have a ROM or backup to get it working again.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. If you have 3/4 way reboot, simply hold the power button while the phone is on, select reboot/restart, and select bootloader. If you do not have this feature, shut the phone off, then hold volume down+camera key, then press power. The bootloader will scan for updates, and will then prompt you if you wish to apply the update. Press volume up to accept this prompt. Do not turn the phone off or remove the battery while this process is engaged! When it is complete, you will be prompted to reboot the phone. Do so. You will notice that your phone is "stuck" at the white HTC bootsplash, even if you have flashed a different splash image. This is normal.
Remove the battery. Remove the SDCard, and insert the first card. Boot into the bootloader, and then volume-down to recovery, and press power. While the phone has technically been "wiped", there is the possibility of remaining bits of info in the memory, so it is good practice to perform a complete wipe. Scroll down to "mounts and storage", and select the following options: "format /cache, format /data, and format /system." DO NOT format /sdcard!!!
Now press the back key to return to the main screen, and select "install a .zip from SDCard". You can find Virtuous Unity in the /download folder if you downloaded from your web browser, or /clockworkmod/downloads/ if you used RomManager. Select the Unity zip file, and install it. Once this is done, press the back key to the main menu, select "reboot device".
Once the G2 has started up, you may experience lockups. This is a known bug with the G2 related to overclocking. If it happens, reboot into bootloader, enter the recovery, and flash /download/virtuous_unity-ocfreq-patch.zip. This should fix the problem!
Last step: open a file manager, and find the radio file you downloaded earlier. It should be in /download, and is a .zip named Vision Radio 12.56.60.25 26.10.04.03 PC10IMG.zip. Copy/Paste to the root of your SDCard (which we can do now that the phone is working again!) And then rename it PC10IMG.zip Reboot one last time into bootloader, and again press volume up to accept the update. When it is done, reboot the phone as prompted. Delete the PC10IMG.zip files from the root of each SDCard, and you are done! Enjoy!
Hope you find this helpful!
EDIT: Updated the DB link to the Hboot.
EDIT AGAIN: Yet another replacement DB link for the HBoot. I have a friend who has offered to host this file on his own server, I just haven't gotten the chance to upload it yet. I'll be replacing this link with a permanent one soon.

Isn't this guide for the G2 only? Might be a good idea to mention that before DZ users needlessly starting to flash the hboot.

Hey, I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
I just ran across something. I tried flashing the PC10IMG, but someone told me it should reboot twice and I should have the stock splash screen. Didn't go that way... Looks like only the Bootloader changed, and I can now flash the Virtuous Unity ROMS so yea. First of all does anyone know what's wrong?
Also I'm just guessing that the flashing process was interrupted before it could get to the splash and radio partitions or something, and I need to reflash HBOOT, Could flashing the same Hboot brick your device?
Thanks in advance!

Same Question here i want to play with Sense but how i go back to the G2 bootloader?
Does the dz hboot effect performance (aosp)? When more memory is added to the rom memory does it effect your ram? And does the dz hboot effect tmobile in any way? I want to run the new sense roms but not at a lose of performance to any other roms..thank you. Oh and thanks button pressed, I read other posts and this guide is very easy to understand and user friendly.

There will be no lose in performance your total RAM will not be affected. The only difference is that your data partiton (were market apps go) will be smaller and the system partiton (where the Rom goes) will be bigger.
It won't affect the way your device works, things like WiFi calling will still work.

If I have do a backup through clockwork recovery and then switch to the DZ hboot, will I be able to restore that backup that I made on the G2 hboot?
Great guide, will eventually do it because I also want to try those sweet sense 3.0 roms out there, without the use of adb.
But with the dzhboot will I be able to flash cm7 back again, or the sense 2.X roms?

Just tried to go back to a fresh backup(30 min old) and I get the message "Error restoring /system!" after a while. Happends on all my backups, with latest Rom manager and latest recovery. I saw a thread somewhere about deleting su-backup, file is not found when trying to with adb so I guess I don't have it. Couldn't find anything else about it, what can I do?
I had a similar problem. I solved it by using ext4 recovery instead of cwm.

You can't just restore the backup? or your phone isn't turning on and stuck on a white screen?
It's just the backup that fails, luckily I still had all ROM files on my SDcard so I flashed Ultimate Ace and now thats what I'm using. Root is back as well, however I still very much need all my apps and settings.
Would you please post a guide on ext4 recovery? I've gotten used to CWM, can you have them both at the same time?

To be honest there both pretty much the same as each other. I just use ext4 because ARHD flashed it when I first installed it. You cant run both together.

Same stupid error with 4EXT
There has to be some solution to this? I seriously can't be the only one with failed restores?
Is it every backup that fails? Or just the one. It could just be a bad backup. As for getting apps etc back, there's an app called "app extractor" (search all one word) which can actually pull your apps and data from a nandroid backup. I believe titanium backup can do this also. Hope this helps.

All I can suggest is to switch to the latest 4ext recovery. Download the 4ext app from the market and install from that.

also my phone is rooted:

not sure if that all matters. i tried restore in clockwork recovery and it didnt change anything....still stuck.
CWM blows. Wipe cache and dalvik and flash another kernel.
thanks for the reply.
i am new. how do i do that from recovery?
i did wipe the dalvik cache. is that enough? then i tried unzipping the tiamat sbc kernel and it was still stuck.
btw....is there a better rom that supports wimax???
If possible, upgrade to a Ra based recovery. That'll make the wiping and flashing easier on your part, as far as ROM choice, I'll give you sense.

RA refers to Amon Ra, another popular recovery for the EVO. CWM is known for being troublesome on the EVO, so RA-based recoveries are the way to go.

Flashing recoveries for dummies:
STEP 1: Download recovery of choice (smelkusmod ra recovery)
STEP 2: Rename the zip to "PC36IMG.zip" and move to root of the SD card
STEP 3: Boot to bootloader and follow the prompts to update recovery
STEP 4: reboot to recovery
STEP 5: Prosper!!
(If this doesn't go to plan, unzip the pc36img and check the txt file and change the mainver to 1.00.000.0, zip the file again, and repeat from the beginning)
Hope this does the trick
Tried it. Read that whole thread. What is fastboot? When I select it in recovery it doesn't seem to be the same as what everyone talks about. My recovery in clockelwork alternate recovery looks like the original and doesn't do anything special.

PM me and I'll help you sort this out once and for all when I get some free time.
Try this. Download the Smelkus recovery and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). Rename the file PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension on the end or it won't work). Once this is done, turn the phone OFF and unplug your phone from your computer. Once the phone is OFF, hold down the volume DOWN button, then press the power button and wait for the HBOOT screen to load. If everything works as it should, you'll get a prompt asking you if you want to update. Use the appropriate keys to select YES, then wait for the update to load. When you go into HBOOT, as part of its loading process, it looks for a file on the SD card named PC36IMG.zip and when it finds it, will ask if you want to update. Also, make sure you don't have more than one file on your SD card named PC36IMG.zip, or you'll have issues. Once you've got the recovery loaded, you can re-namethe file on your SD card something like PC36IMG1.zip, to avoid any issues should you have to use HBOOT to install another PC36IMG.zip file down the road.
That's what I did but I did it all from my phone. Does that matter?

That's what I'm telling you to do. You can actually download the PC36IMG to your phone, but you'll have to move it to the root of your SD card using something like Astro File Manager. That's why most instructions say to hook your phone up to a PC and download the PC36IMG to the root of the SD card.
When you press the volume down button and power button, what happens?
