Hey there ,
I had HBoot version .77 ( I think ) and went right to .92. Did it all as the instructions said to ( download the file,change it to the PBIMG13 or whatever.zip, put it at root of SD, did the update at the HBOOT screen and it says it's fine.) when I go to that Hboot screen now it says it indeed is .92 ( yay! ) but when I let it boot all the way it just hangs at the white HTC Incredible screen. I can get to recovery and all that stuff so it's not bricked just won't move passed that screen. My specs are the following :
Radio : 2.15.00.11.19
HBoot : .92
S-Off
CM7.0.0
whatever kernel comes stock with CM7...
If you have ideas or need more info please post!
So you flashed the newer hboot then tried to reboot but it wouldn't get past the splash screen? I'd say try restoring a backup but that wouldn't work since you're on the new hboot. Try reflashing the rom?

So just flash a fresh ROM? Any suggestions with the current specs?
Huh...Out of the blue after I just recovered my latest backup it works fine and I just checked and I am still at .92 for HBOOT... Aaaalrighty my droid just hated me for a while I suppose... All is well!
Hm, I didn't think an old backup would work.. Glad you got it figured out though.

Greetings All,
So I have a odd problem and have no idea what is causing it and where I should look to begin fixing it other than flash a RUU file.
I want to give my fiance my Desire to replace her ageing Sony Ericsson K800i and to achieve that I want the phone to be as stock as possible before I give it to her. So I flashed the Sense HBOOT from Alpharev's site and that went fine. It now says Alpharev Sense in pink at the top of the screen. I boot into Clockwork Recovery 3.0.2.8 and flashed Insercoin's Gingerbread Sense this after doing all the wipes. Well the phone stayed at the "Why so serious" screen for 30 minutes with no sign of activity. So I tried the flash all over again which still did not work. In the end I downloaded LeeDroid's 2.2 Froyo build, did all the wipes and flashed and still nothing. Sits at the "Why so serious screen".
What am I doing wrong here? All MD5's check out perfectly and I can still access all 3 menu's (HBOOT, fastboot and recovery).
Please help?
Flash the bravo hboot instead. The sense hboot isn't for HTC Sense. You will have to wipe and flash the rom again.
Swyped...
If the Sense HBOOT is not for the Sense phone what is meant for? Very confusing...
Thank you for the reply will redo tonight .
I've no idea. It's just another partition table for if you don't use as much /system, you get a little more internal storage. But the bravo hboot is the stock hboot.
Thanks mate that did it! Now my fiancé is very, very happy.
So I've been having a lot of issues lately with my connectivity. My process of troubleshooting involved updating my radios (as suggested in the deckmod instructions), and also updating the PRL.
However, when I attempted to flash new radios, the update took. After the device initially rebooted after applying the update - it just sat at the HTC Evo 4G white boot screen. It won't go anywhere.
I tried booting into recovery, but again it just sits at that white "HTC EVO 4G" screen.
I used the file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
I've had it sit for about a half hour, and nothing. So, I'm guessing the file itself was corrupted.
Luckily I can still get into the bootloader - can I just try and redownload the file?
See if the info in your Hboot shows the new radio version, for one. If you're getting to the white screen, you're not bricked. Try reflashing recovery via the pc36img. And I'd suggest Amon Ra. if you can get into recovery after that, clear Dalvik & Cache, and try to boot.
If nothing, go back to recovery, wipe everything but the SD Card and reflash your ROM

Radio does not look like it is updated. Tried reflashing amon-ra and had no success at all. The phone still freezes at the white htcEVO 4G screen that appears immediately after pressing the power button or trying to load recovery.
Just cleared storage from the bootloader, will try reflashing the rom. I'm just concerned about the fact I can't get into recovery at all.
Ok, still can't get into recovery. I tried copying the ROM to the sd card as PC36IMG.zip and the bootloader does nothing with it... I'm kind of stuck. Anyone have any other ideas?
Which bootloader version do you have? I think in that same thread, there're links to reflash the bootloaders, too. You may want to see if you can do that, although it seems like flashing anything isn't working out.
Another thing, is to try the pc version of the RUU for your phone, if nothing will flash in bootloader

Here is what the bootloader says:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.0808
OCT 15 210, 12:07:00
How can I flash the bootloader without being able to access recovery? The PC version requires my phone to be on, so unless fastboot will work, I'm not sure how well it'll work but at this point I will try anything.
EDIT: Holy crap, the RUU is working. When i tried the first few times while at the bootloader screen that it couldn't find my phone. So I put the phone into fastboot, and voila, the RUU saw it. Its updating now. I'll look at re-rooting it later today. Thank you so much for your help HipKat.

If you rooted with unrevoked3 or flashed unrevoked forever as part of your root process, you should remain s-off. You can just reflash your recovery and restore a backup or flash a rom.
Glad you got the phone working!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
You beat me to it. With Hboot 2.10, he had to have used Unrevoked, so he'll still be S-Off.
Glad it worked. I was gonna say put 'er in fastboot to run RUU, but you figured it out.
My htc evo all of the sudden it doesnt want to start it just staying on the htc white screen and then vibrates and it restarts itself I tried installing a ruu rom and sitll the same, tried to install a recovery app and it wont take it I get a message saying that the image is invalid. Plz someone help me I havent slep and been looking and looking and I havent found something that can help me with my problem
Heres some info from the Hboot screen
Supersonic EVT2-3 Ship S-on
Hboot-2.16.0001
Microp-041f
Touch Panel-Atmelc03_16ac
Radio-2.15.00.0808
any ideas will help
Same prob
Have you had any luck? I'm in the same boat, I've tried just about everything... I sold my phone to someone and they tried installing muiu rom and it quit working for them and they sent it back to me... And now I just want to get it working so I can use it and sell my iPhone and get a new android!! I hate the iPhone.
What exactly were you trying to achieve switching RUU's?
did you make sure it was for phones that were not rooted?
I havent had any luck and well I tried the Ruu that it wasnt rooted and it went all the way but the same thing keeps on happening
I am having this issue as well, about 12 hours after switching roms to cm9 nightly (unofficial) from the roms section, everything was working just fine, all was well. I had spent some time getting the rom set back up the way i like it, and had finished, while waiting in line at a restaurant I opened a bookmark from ics browser plus app and the phone rebooted itself. it just loops through the white screen, goes black, and then back to the white screen. I can get to hboot, but not to recovery, selecting recovery just goes back to the loop. I tried clearing user data via hboot, I tried reinstalling recovery (both amon-ra and twrp). the recovery installs ok according to the screen, but then trying to go back to recovery causes the loop to return. I do not know what else to try. (in my case, the phone does still show s-off and always has throughout the problems)
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.....

You're gona ned to get to s-off sot hat adb and mount the system if needed. Since you have the 2.16 bootloader, head over to revolutionary.io to get to rooting tools.
UPDATE
After trying different things now my HBOOT says 2.18.0001
Radio 2.15.00.12.19 and at the top it says unlocked, how can I S-off if i cant go inside the phone?
Now you're S-Off, flash a recovery and see if you can into Recovery and flash a ROM.
BTW, what ROM were you using when this started?

If the top of the screen says S-Off, stop right there. Go to the dev section > download and flash a recovrey via PC36IMG.zip > then flash a rom.
for S+G's try pulling battery and removing sd card before rebooting without it
sorry but I havent had time to get online but now it says
S-ON

I still cant get the s-off tried different times, the recovery still doesnt work i try to select recovery sometimes it stays on a black screen sometmes it just starts rebooting itself
I tried installing a recovery thru fastboot and it says that it was finished and everything but when I select recovery it stays on the htc evo 4g white screen and it doesnt do anything after that
try to get S-Off useing revolutionary, once you get it ,Get smelkus-mod-4.3 recovery. Flash it through H-Boot, If you can get it to flash then your good to go. Just a note, Twerp is a badass recovery but twerp anc CWM dont really play well with the Evo 4g,,,Later,,,

So it detected it, but did you actually tell it to flash?
This happened to me after a dead battery. I was worried but a Phillip charge and then it booted up

[Q] "succesfully" Flashed phone hangs up and gets stuck at HTC splash screen
Hi,
I've got an odd issue with my GF's phone.
Specs:
Revolutionary rooted
Buzz PVT Ship S-off
H-Boot 6.01.1002
microp-0622
touch panel - Atmelc03-16ac
Radio: 3.35.20.10
Rom: KWBR Rom android 2.2.1
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-g0f9e9b5 htc [email protected]#1
After I flashed the KWBR rom it ran fine for a week or so untill it hung up. Manually switching off wasn't possible so had to take out the batt.
After restarting it hangs at the white HTC screen (without quietly brilliant) and stays there like forever.
Also resettting it in recovery to factory settings doesn't work out.
Ultimately re-flashed KWBR again but y'day it hung up again and everything described above happened again.
However on a normal restart/reboot/power off-power on it does what it's supposed to do.
Has Anyone experienced this before? and moreover anyone a solution? (because GF's get cranky when phones are messed up)
Have you tried flashing another ROM?
(Don't forget to do a nandroid backup )

What about other Sense ROMs, like RemPuzzle?
Will do when it hangs up again. however it looks that for Rempuzzle I have to partition my SD Card first before flashing.
if I understand correctly
Partition SD card, Swap 0
Then flash REMpuzzle and I'm good to go?
Can I instantly flash 2.43 or should I first flash 2.40 and then 2.43 ?
Back up your SD card first.
And yes, first flash 2.4.0 then 2.43.
i just completely got lost here in incredible forums

It seems like you might have a bad SD card. Do you have any spare SDs lying around that you could try out? by the way have you been trying to flash these updates through recovery, because they are designed to be flashed in hboot. I thought you were using hboot to flash based on the language used but from the picture you loaded it looks like stock recovery if I am correct. If you have been trying to flash these files through recovery try again using hboot but I suspect you were doing it right the first time. If that is the case, I would do like I suggested above and try using an alternate sd card. I can't promise that will fix the problem but based on the fact that recovery is unable to mount /sdcard it seems like it is a hardware problem.
no, i flashed trough hboot and device did not boot
after that i tried to do hardreset in recovery
i will try another card, i have 64gb on me right now, dont know if it will work :laugh:

Have you tried reflashing recovery? Or flashing to stock or amon ra recovery and then back to cwm.

If you can still get to hboot, try doing another ruu. http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
