[Q] Help! accidentally installed PC36IMG - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to install a kernel that wouldnt install and during the process i accidentally installed PC36IMG now my phone is stuck on the htc evo 4g boot screen and when i go into recovery it goes into the original stock recovery. how do i fix this?

So I take it you have no recovery, with the ! mark?

yeah exactly

When you enter the bootloader screen, does it still show S-OFF at the top? If it does not, you will have to re-root. If it does and if you're able to get into the stock recovery, is there an MS-USB menu? I can't remember. If there is, use that particular menu to transfer the PC36IMG.zip for amon RA v2.3 or whatever recovery you had. Afterwards, reboot to the bootloader screen and install it.

Still stuck, no solution in sight. Cant access recovery

Ive tried flashing both types of recovery, using a few different methods. Terminal on the phone itself. Bootloader. Through Windows I use the Simpleroot and that didnt work. I get a Build RA 1.8.0 in the RA build and black screen with the Clockwork. Then if i push buttons it restarts. I cant do anything. Im stuck. Sigh. Ive tried asking for help but no one seems to answer.
Have you tried installing Rom manager? You can flash clockwork through it then use it to install ra recovery over it. That is if your rooted already.

Sigh. I thought that would maybe work, it was going find (tried mac installation) and said Done. But the recovery screen came on and it was still blank/black. Nothing happens.
(3.2 was down, so when it is back up I can try that.)
3.2.1 didnt work, got an error, couldnt find misc folder. am i stuck here then. no more roms for me?
PHEW
God damn. Im so happy. Lol. I was able to download clockworks and flash it through the bootloader. I dont know why it wouldnt pick it up before. But now I have access again. Feels good to have control again. If you have problems with recovery, i would say getting PC36IMG.ZIP on the root and going to the bootloader will be best. I just have to get use to clockworks instead of RA!

please help

i am trying to root my Incredible. i am using Unrevoled3. 1t gets to Done. but it doesnt boot to Clockwork. i can see the Superuser icon in apps and in HBOOT it says S-OFF. but wn i try to go to recovery it just goes to a black screen with 2 white lines one on the left and the other on the right. it stays there until i press the optical joystick then it goes blank and reboots

Sounds like an SLCD screen. Use ROM Manager to install RA recovery.

Get rom manager from the market and use it to flash Clockworkmod. Then hit reboot into recovery and see if it works.

Thats what it sounds like clockwork isnt liking the slcd screen. If flashing the clockwork doesnt work. Install RA recovery that should work.

[Q] EVO Bootloader do not load pc36img

Hello,
I apologize for my bad English at first.
I updated my 8gb sdcard to a new one ScanDisk Class 4 16GB. Everything is working OK except bootloader is not loading PC36img.zip any more. I found in other forum this problem is about SDHC card but I did not find any solution. I have full root, soff, etc, I have hboot 0.76eng. Any advice?
Update1: I flashed EVO_HBoot_0.76.2000.zip from amonra 2.3 without any problem but still same issue (everything working perfect but bootloader would not load PC36IMG.zip).
Update2:
I updated radio, etc using latest Calkulin's combo EVO_Radio_2.15.00.04.08_WiMAX_27925_PRI_NV_1.90_00 3.zip, then flashed latest hboot EVO_HBoot_2.10.0001.zip. Same result: All working OK but cannot load PC36IMG.zip.
Thanks in advance.
If you have the eng bootloader, you can use fastboot (from google SDK) to flash any .img you want. Like a recovery.
Example to flash a recovery via fastboot:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img
Enjoy.

I have rom Fresh 4.0.0.4 with Rom Manager Premium 4.2.0.2 working perfect so I can go Rom Manager and switch CM - Amonra. I made nandroid of Fresh rom with CM and Amonra. I just want to have bootloader working ok because I do not know if I will need it in an emergency.
Thanks
did you make sure the PC36IMG.zip only had one .zip at the end and not 2, also was it all capitalized

Yes, I just rechecked filename right now, but I am sure I did not renamed it since I used it last time.
At other forum says that issue is related to having a big SDHC card (I updated from 8gb to 16gb) but I did not find any solution.
Thanks
Have the same issue on my evo. Have tried different SD cards and still does not boot PC36IMG.zip. Can flash anything I want in recovery. But unable to flash in hboot or even push.

Tried that a couple of day's ago. I have thought maybe going s-on again then rerooting and see if that fixes anything. I have hboot 2.10.0001. Also have the latest radio and I used unrevoked to root my evo

aaanadie, what particular PC36IMG.zip are you trying to load from the bootloader, if you don't mind me asking? Since you're already using RA v2.3, download the PC36IMG.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 and see if you can reflash amon RA from the bootloader. I just want to rule out a corruption.

Hopefully, flashing a stock ruu and then unrooting will work for you, but before you try it, can you also download the PC36IMG.zip file for amon RA v2.3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 and see if you can flash it from the bootloader?

I was able to flash amon-ra from inside CM7 using Terminal Emulator, so my problem is solved, but I am curious to know why I cannot switch from Clockwork to RA using Rom Manager on CM7, even from a fresh CM7. I tried everything, last time I wipe data, cahe, dalvik, all, flashed new CM7, installed Rom Manager from Market (not using Titanium) so should not be my CM7 nor my Rom Manager.

I'm not a fan of ROM Manager because on many occasions, it doesn't flash correctly and when it doesn't, amon RA is the tool that gets the device back up and working correctly. Besides, it is far too easy and arguably safer to go into recovery to flash, make backups and restore backups. As to why ClockworkMod "seem" to cause problems with CM7, I don't know.

Thanks. Just had a fail on the first attempt to unroot since I can not push to my phone. The flash starts and my phone goes to the black HTC screen then it just waits for the bootloader. I must be really dedicated to install that custom splash screen. Oh well off to Google again to find more ways to unroot.

By flashing an exe. from my pc from here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/ . Which failed. Also tried the original patch and PC36IMG.zip that I saved when I first rooted my phone from unrevoked. Beginning to wonder if I do unroot. Will I be able to root again? That would not be worth it just to have a splash screen. I would rather stay unrooted than be stuck stock. But Thank You for your help.
Try the unrevoked S-ON tool for the EVO. It is flashed from within recovery. You can download it as well as read the instructions at unrevoked dot com.

Well the good news I am s-on. The bad is that it still will not let me flash. I am done for tonight. Being s-on and being on cm7 is not a bad thing. Round 1 is a fail. But thanks for your help. Once this is figured I will know what to do next time. At least I am not stock.

(Q)S-off but default recovery

I had to do a nandroid recovery and then installed the new htc update. Do I need to root again or should I just flash amon-ra again.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you're s-off still, simply re-flash amon_ra recovery via PC36iMG.
Thanks because I got confused that it switched.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Edito you know the thread where I could get it from?
As the previous poster said... if you still have S-OFF but need to get the custom recovery back you should be able to do that. Go to this thread and download the recovery image in the PC36IMG.zip format. You should then follow the instructions if the first post of that thread labeled "- the Bootloader way -":
- Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sd card.
- Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
- Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go.

Can't boot into clockworkmod recovery

Hey guys, my phone runs MIUI and Tiamat. Every time I would hold down the power button to select recovery, it would go into hboot. And if I tried going into recovery from hboot it would just go back into hboot.
I downloaded clockworkmod rom manager and tried getting into recovery from there and still no go.
What am I doing wrong?

Add in, uninstall ROM Manager, and flash Amon Ra for your recovery

Have you tried reflashing your recovery?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app
The way they suggested to disable fastboot is for a stock system. I don't know if you can disable it that way with MIUI. I know you can't do it that way with CM7, which is similar to MIUI.
Do a battery pull, boot into bootloader, then try to go into your recovery from there.
Oh, and get rid of CWM. Flash AmonRa to your phone instead.
I encountered this today. Reflash recovery and then use rom manager to reboot into recovery.

If you are still using clockworkMOD recovery, flash an older version (5.0.2.0). I had issues with the latest version not going to recovery.

Sorry for bump, very sorry. I had two threads open - one for the ROM what I was going to post a question for, and this thread because it's similar to my problem. I posted a Loooooong post in here by accident, and am trying to move it to the other thread. sorry for bump
Found another solution
Hey guys,
thank your for all your suggestions and sorry I forgot about this thread as I solved my prob weeks ago.
I just flashed TWRP and had to continue to hold the volume up button after the logo and boot a second time into recovery.
I flashed Cyanogenmod and now everything works just fine.
Thanks again.
