can anyone pm me and help me get my phone running. phone has been restarting like mad for the past week, lived with it till i had some time off to fix, thinking if i redo everything the problem will go away. wanted to go back stock and then re root or try virusroms gengersense. did one of the ruu installs on a page here and did it line by line with amon ra's latest. now when the phone boots, it loads up and the swipe down to unlock screen shows up, when the sd card mounts, it crashes. what did i do wrong? (other than mess up my phone, ha.)
if i posted this in the wrong area, let me know.
thanks.
Reboot into recovery, attach your EVO to your computer and then select the MS-USB option in recovery. If your SD card mounts, it *should* show up on your computer. If it does, copy the contents of the card onto your computer. Afterwards, format the card while in recovery. After that copy a freshly downloaded rom you want to flash and put it on the card. Go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it except the SD card. After that, flash the rom.

thanks for the reply, ok first thing i noticed, when i usb-ms and looked at my sd card there was nothing in it except lost.dir and the zip for the ruu i just did. where did all the other files go. and is that the probem?
No. It just means that somehow your card was formatted.

The good thing is that your card was mountable. Do me a favor and download the stock odexed 3.70 rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251 and flash it.

thanks, downloading...
You're welcome, while you're downloading, go ahead and reformat your SD card. You can do it from within recovery. Afterwards, copy the rom to the card and flash it.

crap, it's not seeing my phone now when i plug it in.
ok, got computer to see phone, gonna put rom in and flash. wait one..
Shut down your device, remove the card and then reinsert it making sure it is seated properly. After that, simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. After that, options will be made available and one of them is "recovery". Select it and your phone *should* reboot into recovery. Forgive me for being detailed, but someone else may be experiencing the same thing but have little experience with their device and root stuff.

Okay, disregard my last post.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
be detailed as you need. no worries here, still nothing, flashed and booted phone up, got to the same swype to unlock, swyped, white htc screen and it crashed and crashed again. thinking about throwing it against the wall.... ha.
The only thing we haven't done is repartition and reformat the SD card. Might as well give it a try. Go into recovery and format the card placing all parameters to 0. Make sure you backup of the card's contents onto your computer first. After you've repartitioned & reformatted the card, reinsert it and boot your device.

I'll check this thread in the morning...GOD willing...I'm preparing for bed. I hope that formatting & repartitioning your card fixes the problem. Take care and good night....

sigh...... after all of last night, finally gave up around midnight, pulled my battery and set the phone off to the side. got up this morning and it booted up, didnt crash, accecpted the rom and works great. wtf... nothing worked yesterday. flashed myns warm and it would crash at the same point, swype down to unlock, white htc screen, crash. i dont frikkin get it. thanks for your help, again. will keep you posted.
LOL...I've seen weirder things happen, my friend. Still, a clean install, a full wipe as well as re-partitioning and re-formatting the SD card can do wonders. I doubt you will have any more problems. I do, however, suggest that, at your convenience, go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and create a nandroid backup. Select both the sdext and android.secure ina additional to the default selections to be backed up, just I case. Take care.

well here's an update... phone ran fine for about eight hours and crashed, boot looped, ect.
flashed myn's warm, booted it up and it worked......for 5 min, crash, boot loop, whtie htc screen ect. arrrrrgggghhhh. unrooted and took it to sprint. new one will be in tomorrow.
thanks for your help doug. appreciate the time you spent.
next round is on me.

Upon investigating this I think I realized my problem, but don't know how to resolve it: I pulled the stock SD Card from my new Incredible and dropped in my "used" Eris card (rooted, too). Now I have two sets of directories on the card; one from my old Eris and the new Incredible one. I'm guessing this is confusing the OS. Here's what I've tried:
* deleting the old Eris directories, but to no avail
* when going into Recovery, I have the SLCD problem with the screen not reading right, but since I can't get the phone to recognize another ROM, I can't address that problem
I'm thinking of reformatting the card, but worry that once I do that, how will the phone be able to even boot when it's looking for a ROM?
***UPDATE*** being impatient, a risk-taker and a man of adventure, I have now done myself in, I'm afraid. I went ahead and reformatted the SD card and to my surprise, when I restarted, it found the PB31IMG.zip and updated it. After it completed, it asked if I want to reboot, I selected "Yes" and now it won't boot at all. When I hold the power button it vibrates once and that's it. After that, nothing works. When I do a battery pull and hold power button again, it vibrates once and...nothing more.
Next steps or suggestions from those much smarter than I am?
Can you get into HBOOT, at least? Completely power down, then hold the volume down button while powering up. Also, reformat your SD card to FAT32. Look around the forum for the SLCD recovery.

Why were you trying to flash a new PB31IMG.zip? To flash a new ROM, you should have booted into recovery and selected "install zip from sd card," navigated to wherever the zip (such as SkyRaider_33_Sense_Final.zip) is located and installed from there.
BTW... those are not error messages. The phone will search for those files whenever you boot into the bootloader. After it cycles through them, you have the option of selecting recovery.
The memory card shouldn't have mattered. I used my Eris card on mine with no problems.

first do a search here on xda for clockworkmod on crack...that file has a fix for your slcd in recovery.download that first and rename it to pb31img.zip put it right on the sdcard not in any folder. now download a rom from one of the forums to a computer, any rom for dinc, put your sdcard into the pc. put the rom u DL on the sd somewhere youll remember. unmount the card put it in your phone, hold vol down and power this takes you to the bootloader. now it will automatically search for pb31img.zip, click yes let it update.normally you click no but this is an exception, now press vol down to select recovery. takes you to recovery, goto install zip from sdcard, choose file on sscard, now goto that rom I said to remember. click yes, should be good to go

the problem i am running into with this is that the screen won't turn on at all. like the OP said, i get a single vibrate and thats it, the screen doesn't turn on. if it did, would be an easy-peasy fix. but since the screen won't turn on, i seem to have run out of options. took it into best buy and they just told me the battery was dead. its been charging for a few hours but to no avail.
ive been trying to help 3 diff ppl wit this problem, if its just doing the vibrate its cuz ur just trying to pwr it on, thats NOT what were trying to do. its easy do exactly what I type
1, take batt out, put it back in
2, hold vol dwn, dont let go, now hold pwr dwn til a white screen comes up, takes a few seconds
3, now if this doesnt work, its b/cu have an slcd and u didnt install correct drivers b4 rooting, and I cant help u nemore after that

Hey guys here is what i did step by step. This is my first root and i researched this a good bit but i obviously didnt read enough ; ;
Phone info: droid i, slcd, froyo stock 2.2 with november update. i bought the phone a couple of weeks ago.
I followed rooting instructions found here
(couldnt post the url cause im a new user) its found on jonsuh dot com
1) Already preinstalled clockwork mod app
2) Installed Hboot driver.
3) ran new revoked3
4) root was successful and my phone booted up.
heres where its gets tricky.
5) ran clockwork mod.
6) selected back up (figured this would be a safe idea before i started adding roms)
7) it prompted me to install clockwork mod recovery file. i did so then clicked on backup again. my phone turned off rebooted to the HTC incredible screen then went to this black screen with white bars on each side of the phone.
Ideas on what might be the problem would be greatly appreciated.
So i just a battery pull and started my phone back up and it booted up.... epic fail/win
win: phone phone started
fail: i wrote this whole damn post out.
might be helpful for those who ran into the same problem rooting thier phone though.
i read somewhere i should use an older clockwork recovery file. is that correct? and if so, can some tell me one that will work with an SLCD phone?
You might check this out.
ok so i made another boo-boo. i tried to install the virtuous rom and i clicked on clear data and wipe cache and when the phone restarted it stopped at the htc screen which had a black bar across it.
i tried rebooting it a couple different ways but now bastboot is booting up to the htc incredible screen and just staying there... i hope i didnt brick my phone...
please help!
you have an slcd droid incredible and need the modded clockwork recovery from adreynlyne thats all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788306
thats should take care of the recovery issues
do you know how to move the file to the root of my sd card? i dont have a micro sd card reader...
ok so i went out and bought a micro sd card reader. put the new renamed .zp file onto my sd card. went into hboot and it still says the pb31img.zip file is missing. any ideas?
i extracted the renamed zip file to my sd card. was that the right thing to do? or do i just put the unextracted file in there?
You are thinking too hard!
Plug your phone into your PC. Set it to be a disk drive and copy the file to the SD card. (It will have lots of directories and stuff.)
I am not 100% sure, but I think the file name might need to be in caps. It must be named exactly.
Turn your phone off.
Hold down the down volume button and turn it on.
Magic should happen.
got it working thanks to setexascustoms. had to install it then reinstall virtuous rom. lost all my contacts but im back up and running!
When I try to go in ty o recovery, it just comes back to bootloader. Last thing I did was reboot after fix permissions. On cm7.0.2.
Is there a way out of this?
Im pretty new to rooting but is my first issue in about a month. Thanks in advance

Thanks for responding. Everytime I choose recovery, it just brings me back to the white screen with hboot, bootloader, recovery, fast load, etc...
Is there something that I am not seeing? I tried downloading a rom on another SD card from a different EVO and then using that SD card to flash on my EVO...but still stuck on the the same white screen....
That is not what I meant. Go to the link below and download the PC36IMG.zip file for amon RA recovery v2.3 and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
Afterwards, shut down your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen and then the bootloader *should* automatically detect the zip and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery and then go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT your SD card. After that, flash the rom you want to use. Be patient during the initial boot after flashing the rom.

I've never flashed anything from anywhere but the recovery so I'm a bit lost. I downloaded the ADB tools and now trying to figure out how to use them. I will try and put RA recovery through ADB....Thanks again for your help and I will let you know if I can figure out ADB.

It doesn't get any easier than the instructions posted in my previous post. All you have to do is download the file from the link I posted and put the file on the root of your SD card. Then boot into the bootloader screen. The bootloader will basically do it for you. Anyway, I hope everything works out for you. If not, let us know and we will continue to try to assist. Take care.

Thanks...It sounds easy enough. The only thing I do not know how to do is put the file on the root of my SD card...Is that what ADB is for? Do I need to do anything special to install ADB? Sorry, just brand new to this.
Attach your device to your computer via USB, when your computer recognizes the device, you should see an additional disk drive showing in your computer's file explorer. If you have a Mac, a disk drive will appear on the desktop. Simply copy the file over to it. Do not put it in any folder. It is that simple, my friend.

-Tags you out-
Yea I can take over...also, have a safe move.
you could also take the sd card out of ur evo... and put it in a micro sd adapter and stick it right in ur computer, (thats if u have a card reader and a microsd adapter) but then u can put the file on the sd card that way, then stick it back in ur evo and bam, follow the instructions
Thanks again for your help...I'm a lot further than I was last night. I installed the htc drivers and still cannot see my SD card anywhere on my pc. I don't have a micro SD adapter.
Is there something I should download from unrevoked?
I downloaded and installed the unrevoked hboot drivers and still cannot see the SD card on my PC. I can hear it connect and disconnect but cannot access or even see it. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I've been trying to flash the Rom onto my phone, however every time I try It goes through all the install processes and says that is complete, but when I reboot the system it shows me the HTC Splash screen goes black shows me the splash screen again and then throws me back into Clockwork. I have cleared the cache and did a factory reset. So does anyone know what could be the problem?
I had the same problem... you actually need th DZ h-boot..
Im currently changin the boot but im having a problem with it.. ill let you know how it goes after im done with this problem.
I found something about the DZ H-Boot, but I have no Idea how to use ADK to get it on my phone, is there a guide that doesn't assume you know how to use it, or a way to do it without ADK?
www.virtuousrom.com
read it. follow directions.
to learn more about the SDK, check the wiki. there's a complete guide on how to install/set up your computer for ADB push.
I searched all over the wiki and can not find anything about setting up for a ADB Push.
just Google it or Bing it or duck it . there are guides all over the internet for different platforms .

You don't necessarily need ADB to flash the DZ hboot to the G2 I tried this method and it worked flawlessly...
Credit to codemonkey10 for the step by step process..
You need the DZ H-Boot... the rom wont run or install unless you have it. here is how to install it on your phone (guessing its a g2) without having to use adb... (and here is the dz hboot download... http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/misc/PC10IMG.zip)
Do a full nandroid backup before any of this, and you will need an sd card reader....
Download the h-boot and move it to the root of your sd card.
Turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power.
You’ll be ask if you want to update, press volume up to proceed.
After your done you be asked press power to reboot, press it.
You should will see the white HTC screen, wait 5-10 seconds then pull battery.
Pull sd card out of phone, and place in a card reader.
Delete the PC10IMG file (dz hboot) and put the sd card back in the phone.
Then hold volume down and power to go to bootloader
Once in bootloader go to recovery
Do not wipe anything because the new h-boot wiped everything
In recovery go to install zip from sd card
Then, choose zip from sd card
Find the Virtuous Unity Rom in the sd card.
Choose it and wait for it to install
Once it is finished choose reboot now.

DId that, same thing, I can hear the phone getting emails and text messages it even rings when called but there are NO programs or working buttons, and I can just see the desktop background and the status bar when its on.
Did you wipe EVERYTHING except sd before reflashing?
Sent from my nike hating evo!
I would pull the SD Card, and format it on your computer.
Then I'd find the RUU for your phone. The PC36IMG version, since you're on a MAC.
Make sure the file is named PC36IMG.zip
Just like that. I'm not sure how MAC handles extensions, but that's how it has to be named. Put it on the SD Card, not in any folders.
Boot into bootloader, it will scan, find the file ask you to update, say yes, and let it run. This will return your phone to out-of-the-box.
I'm not sure if that will give you S-On or keep you S-Off, but you'll know when you reboot back to bootloader. If S-Off, do the exact same thing with the PC36IMG.zip for Amon Ra. It's in the Development section, with instructions, and reboot to bootloader, let it scan, say yes, and when it's done, try to get into recovery. If it works, you can reboot to system so it writes the necessary files to your SD Card,

how many different roms have you tried flashing? this most likely is just a problem with the operating system and not with your phone. Make sure you FORMAT all data on your phone using clockworkmod BEFORE installing a new ROM. Otherwise things might get left behind and interfere with your new installation.
Uhh, scrap CWM and Use Amon Ra. MUCH better at wiping everything.
Thank for ALL the responses, after trying to fix it myself for 5 hours yesterday, I PM to rocsolo got me up and running !!
