Stock Dinc that I ran Unrevoked on. Seems like CWM was at 2.5.x or something like that. It was not the latest. Once Unrevoked finished I tried to flash Kingdom Rewind 3D ROM. Seemed to take but when I rebooted the phone it got stuck at the white HTC screen. I could get back into HBoot and CWM but the ROM would never load.
I read a few threads and decided to try the PB31IMG recovery. That too seemed to work and I chose the reboot at the end. It again got stuck at the white HTC screen.
Now I can get to HBoot, but cannot get into CWM. When I try to get to CWM it just goes to a black screen with a phone icon and red triangle with exclamation point. I also tried RUU but it never finds the phone.
Not sure what to do next. Any ideas?
SDCard is formatted to FAT32 and I downloaded a fresh PB31IMG file from Doug Piston's website.

That black screen sounds like stock recovery. I would try that PB31IMG.zip again. Then run unrevoked to root again

Are you s-off? If so make sure the PB31IMG.zip is of the latest cwm (or 3.0.0.7 if you're amoled), let hboot flash it. Then flash the ROM of your choice.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Yes, s-off.
I think the CWM version is 3.0.0.8 and the phone has the SLCD.

I will try to snap a pic of the black screen. It looks more like an error screen. There is nothing else on the screen (or nothing that I can see to select).
You said you sdcard is formatted fat 32, have you checked the md5 on recovery image just to make sure it's not corrupt? The black screen your talking about is the stock recovery, I'm sure. It has nothing to select and a triangle with an exclamation point if I remember correctly.

No on the MD5. Will do that...
OK, here is what I just did...
Re-downloaded PB31IMG from Doug's site. MD5 matches.
Formatted card to FAT32
Renamed the file to PB31IMG and put it onto the MicroSD card via laptop and card reader.
Put SDCard into phone and booted to hboot.92
Phone went through process of finding PB31IMG file and asked if I wanted to recover or load or whatever it asks (can't remember). I chose "Yes" and it went through each update successfully.
Once that finished it asked if I wanted to reboot. I selected "Yes."
Phone gives a quick vibrate and goes to white HTC boot screen.
Phone does not go any further than this screen.
I am at a loss on this phone. My other Dinc rooted and I have installed 3 different ROMs. This one has not played nice at all.
I will also note that it does the same thing with the 2 SDcards that I have tried.
Is it possible that this phone just has an internal hardware error or something? It seemed to be fine before I rooted and tried to load Kingdom Rewind 3D.
Can you get to cwm recovery now? If so just flash the ROM of your choice, or if you have a good backup restore it.

No. When I go into HBoot and select Recovery I get the black screen with triangle and exclamation.
Edit: I just went through the RUU process. It finished successfully, but the phone still gets stuck at the white HTC Incredible screen.
This phone does have the SLCD screen. Does that matter?
Got to CWM!
I followed the instructions in this link (even though they are crossed out).
The file worked.

Did you get it to flash a ROM or restore?
slcd you should use cwm 3.0.0.8 and 2.1/3.0 roms need to be flashed through cmw 3.x

I did get CWM 3.0.0.8 flash late last night. Tried to flash a ROM and it still sticks at the HTC screen.
I am getting some other errors within CWM now though. Cache files missing, etc. I did not write down the exact messages but will when I get a chance.
What should the partition sizes be?
1024/128?
Also, which ROM should I use for the SLCD screen? I am running CWM 3.0.0.8, HBOOT.92 and the radio is 7.28
I like nils on my slcd inc be sure to wipe the partitions in cwm before installing what ever rom you choose.

I flashed the most recent ClockworkMod to my phone using ROM manager so I could do a ROM backup, and now my phone will not go into recovery mode. When I get into the boot menu and try to go into recovery, it goes into the splash screen and stays there.
Has anyone else had this happen with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.3? It took my phone quite a while to boot after that, and it put me into panic mode for a good moment.
I'll be flashing Amon_RA now to do my backup/ROM flashing. The latest updates to ClockworkMod keep doing crazy, crazy things to my poor EVO. Has anyone else experienced this?
YES! I was flashing a rom earlier tonight with the latest clockwork from rom manager and it messed up everything. Tried a bunch of different things. Still hangs on splash screen. How long did you have to wait?

place the appropriate file on the root of the sdcard using a card reader and boot into HBOOT.
I got out of it by crossing my fingers and doing a battery pull, then booting normally. Thankfully it worked, so I had the chance to use ROM Manager to flash Amon_RA, but I can't guarantee it would work for everyone's.
hope this helps some one I went to appmarket and romanager and uninstalled update then went to app to flash back to older version 2.5

I hope so too. At this point I'd probably recommend that everyone with trouble either go back to 2.5 or even suggest switching to Amon_RA... nothing but problems with 3.0. !
So i wanted to get the new cm7 up and running. went into hboot and noticed that i still had .77 or something like that, remember reading that i should upgrade to .92. went back into the phone, downloaded .92, installed it....ever since then i haven't been able to reboot the phone into anything...besides hboot. it won't go into recovery. it won't do a normal reboot. it's hboot or nothing. this phone isn't the only contact with my family at home during the day that i have. so if anyone can help me i'd be very appreciative. If it involved adb...i would need exact lines of code. i've never messed with it, so its not in my bag of tricks. the phone was having issues with boot times for the last couple of days, but it always wound up booting up. well i've been waiting on it to boot up into recovery for 10 min now, and i don't think my luck for the day is about to get any better. did battery pulls, still nothing.
any info or help at all would be GREATLY appreciated.

it says it did. at the top of the hboot screen it says .92.000 and i'm just going to the recovery option from hboot. it won't boot the phone or into recovery though. just sits on the white htc screen, for 6 hours now.
When you update HBOOT, it can bork your boot.img. Reflash CWM and then restore a nandroid and you should be fine.
how do i reflash cwm when it won't even let me into recovery? i can update pb13img...thats abt it from what i can tell. lol.

Hboot automatically recognizes the pb12img... It's the first thing it does.
Put the file on the root of the SD card (not in any folders), boot into the Hboot and let it do it's thing.
your sd card NEEDS to be formatted to fat32 though.

Recovery is flashed from HBOOT via a PB31IMG.zip, not from within itself. You can use the PB31IMG.zip that I've linked to below.

You know that little voice that tells you to stop and think about what you are about to do....well I didn't 'listen. I have just enough experience to be dangerous....which is why I am writing this thread.
I have a rooted EVO. It was rooted with Unrevoked 3. I was using Clockwork and had flashed several ROMs. Most recently using CM7. I have Nandroid backups and all was well.
In a comedy of errors my original nandroid file was deleted so that I had no was of returning to the stock EVO ROM. I was trying to update CM7 so that i could use the GPS. To do thisI had to flash Sense based ROM so that I could use the MSD(??) and then reflash my CM7 and voila, your GPS works.
Well I couldn't get any new roms to work. I tried several and they all crashed. I then had the great idea to use RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe to restore my EVO back to stock. Bad idea.
I now have a phone that boots straight into Fastboot. I can choose bootloader and get to the HBOOT screen. When I choose the recovery it looks like all is well. The phone goes into the white HTC screen but then goes to a Red Triangle/Exclamation Mark screen. I can get out of this screen by pressing the power button and vol up button. It goes to and Android system recovery screen.
My choices are
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have tried placing the PC36IMG.zip (downloaded from xda) file in the root directory. I get a signature verification failed if I try to install the update file from any other custom ROMs. Installation aborted.
All I want is to get my phone back.
I currently have HBOOT 0.79.0000 with S-OFF
Please help

"So you're saying there is still a chance." Thanks guys. I'll get on this today.
Just a quick question. Do I need to rename these files to "update-'file name'.zip" ?
Boot into the bootloader, with the attached zip file exactly as it is. Don't changed the name or extract it. Once in the bootloader, select yes to update, this is amon_ra 2.3 recovery. If you want clockwork recovery, let me know.
When I boot into the Boot Loader I get this:
HBOOT
SD Checking
Loading...[PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Oh my GOSH! I finally got it! Thank you thank you thank you! I was using the wrong PC36img.zip file. Not really sure why there are several different versions of this...a newbie statement I'm sure.
The root script linked to in my sig can be used to update your phone if you wanted to use it for that, once it sees you have S-OFF it will skip all the rooting stuff and go straight to flashing the updated ROM radios and recovery. Afterward just use rom manager to flash clockwork and you'll be good to go.
edit: nm, just saw you got it

Pulling the battery, waiting a couple minutes, and then holding vol+down and power doesn't allow you to access your bootloader?
yes it does but then i try recovery and it doesent work tho.. :/ and i already put the battery out its benn 24 hours like this...
I'm not entirely sure, then. I'm rather new myself, so I'm not too knowledgeable yet. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will chime in soon.
DirtyShroomz should be perusing these forums right about now... anytime, buddy.
What kernel are you using...had similar problem with sense ROM due to a flashed kernel that didn't play well with custom ROM. You can try to reflash your recovery if you can find a flashable zip of it or a PC36100.IMG of it. Put on root of sdcard and flash PC36100.IMG through bootloader or flash zip through recovery. What does your recovery do when you access it...it wont let you reflash the ROM or what

Please be a little more specific. When you say 'but then i try recovery, and it doesnt work tho', what doe you mean? Does it hang at the white 'htc evo 4g' screen (splash screen) or does it give you a black screen with a red triangle? When you get to the bootloader, it still shows that you are indeed S-off, correct? What happens when you pull the battery, and try to boot normally? Do you have any success? If so, download ROM manager from the market, and use that to reflash whichever recovery you were using, either clockwork or amon ra ( i suggest amon ra) If you are unable to boot into the rom at all, and you're unable to access your recovery, then the first thing to try is reflashing your recovery, using the bootloader. To do that, download the PC36IMG that I'll attatch. That is Amon Ra recovery, version 2.3. Download the zip file, make 100% sure that it's named exactly PC36IMG (capitals matter), and put it on the main directory of your sd card ( you'll need to either use an sd card adapter, and put it right into your computer, or put the sd card in a different phone to transfer the file) You may be able to access the sd card using hboot usb, I don't recall at the moment. Either way, get the file on your sd card somehow. Make sure it's named right, and not in any folders. Then put the sd card back in your phone, and boot into the bootloader. The bootloader should then scan and find the PC36IMG file, and ask you if you want to update. Select volume up to say yes. Once it's done flashing, from the bootloader, select 'recovery'. You should now boot into Amon Ra recovery. From that point, I'd suggest doing a complete wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache), and then flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (i'll attatch it) Once you're done wiping, then reflash the ROM and Gapps. Reboot your device, and you should boot into the ROM. Good luck.
EDIT: I just saw that you were using clockwork before. I don't have a PC36IMG of clockwork, so just use Amon Ra for now. It's a better recovery, but if you must go back to clockwork, once you're phone's back up and running, you can easily use ROM manager to select 'flash clockworkmod recovery' , and that'll get you back on clockwork. just please be sure not to attempt to restore a clockwork backup using Amon Ra. That's a no no. You need to use clockwork to restore a backup that was made by clockwork. Just so ya know.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up, I got the situation now. Yes, flashing the PC36IMG, following my previous instructions will give you a recovery back. Once you get recovery back, you'll be able to wipe everything and flash the rom again, starting over. Recovery is all you need man!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked. Now that you have recovery back, you'll be good to go. Just make sure to do full wipes before flashing roms, and I suggest sticking with Amon Ra instead of clockwork. Once you get the system running again, make a nandroid backup using Amon Ra, and make sure to check the 'wimax' box, to backup your RSA keys (you dont need to backup wimax every time, just be sure to keep a good backup around of it). Then you'll have a solid backup using Amon, because as I said before, as long as you stay with Amon Ra, your previous clockwork backups are useless.
I have a similar issue. EVO bootloops twice and then gets stuck at 4G and stays there. I am able to boot into bootloader. It has

Sorry, I didn't see your question before I went to bed last night. So you are trying to flash back to stock? That's your goal. I see you're already S on. So both of the RUU's that you tried failed on you? What happened when you tried to run the RUU, did it give you an error or what? Do you have HTC Sync installed? You only tried putting one PC36IMG on your sd card at a time right? From the way you described it, it kind of looks like you loaded both on the sd card at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can even do that. Anyways, I'd try downloading the PC36IMG from a different source, confirming that you have a good download, and trying again. THe bootloader should scan and ask you to update. The only time I've seen where it doesn't is if the PC36IMG is named incorrectly, if it's in a folder, if the file is corrupt, or if your sd card is corrupt. If you can't get the PC36IMG to work, I'd suggest formatting your sd card (back it up first) then loading just the PC36IMG on there, and try again. Good luck.
Thanks for seeing the question. Tried pretty much everything. I just want it to work thats all. Its never been rooted. Now I tried the RUU for 3.29, 3.30 and 3.70 and they all give me Error 132 Signarure Error. I ran the RUU by putting EVO in Fastboot. I tried formatting the SDCARD and individually putting the PC36IMG. It does loading with the blue bar on the side, then "checking the PC36IMG" and back to HBOOT. Never gives me an option to "volume up" to update. I have done the PC36IMG files on another EVO and they worked fine before. I have tried 2 different SDcards. I got the RUU from shippedroms and also from here on xda. I got all PC36IMG from here. Don't know what else to do.

So, you've never been rooted before? Everything was just working fine, and then suddenly it won't boot up? Just hangs at the 4g screen? Is that accurate? Were any changes made to your phone before this happened? Any unusual apps you added, changes you made, anything noteable at all? Or just 100% random out of the blue?
So you ran the RUU with the Evo in fastboot, what happened? Did the RUU appear to run successfully, or does it error out? Any info on what happens when you attempt the RUU would be great. Did you try downloading a PC36IMG or RUU from this thread yet? I have never had a problem with one from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. Do you know what software version, radio version, and hboot version you currently had on your phone before it started acting up? Was it the most recent OTA, 3.70 software?
There is annother way to try to flash the PC36IMG using fastboot commands, which I've never done, so don't know the instructions off the top of my head. I'll post back when I find how to do that.
Are you sure you're not getting a bad download of the RUU's and PC36IMG? It's odd that your bootloader scans it, but doesn't ask you to update. That could be due to a corrupted file (bad download) Do you have a good internet connection when you're downloading the files?
The phone was never rooted. I bought it from someone. Practically brand new. No damage at all. I downloaded every single RUU and PC36IMG file from the link you mentioned but same thing happens. RUU ERRORS 132 and PC36IMG files scan and check out but no choice to press volume up for update. Hboot is2.02, radio is 2.15, s-on and the software version when I run the RUU says 3.30. I am stuck at this point. I can only get the phone to recognize fastboot. Help.....

one similar thread was close, but no cigar....so here goes
EVO 4G rooted Unrevoked with amon ra 2.3, phone has been working just great since November, only thing I have done to it is flash some Roms, right now its running the Express RC1, I tried flashing the latest version of Express but it wouldnt take, but thats another story.
I was planning on flashing to another ROM so I connected the phone to PC and copied folders from sd card to PC folder, then I went into recovery and was going to backup again but with nandroid, and saw that the recovery menu prompts were different than what I normally see on other phones I work on, which I use Amon Ra 3.11, SO.. I decided to "upgrade" to the 3.11, so I rebooted to bootloader, then fastboot, went to command prompt and sent the flash of recovery.img to the phone, it said it was completed and I went to switch to recovery and it hung up on the splash screen.
After waiting for too long I pulled the battery and tried again, same problem, so I pulled it again and tried flashing it with Android Flasher, same thing, no luck. I did some searching and looked into ROM manager, but that only works with Clockwork, and I have Amon Ra.
I've tried periodically these same steps over again and cannot get it flashed, nor can get into recovery, getting to the bootloader is fine, booting the phone is fine, and works fine, but recovery just wont do.
I have also read that I could just upload an RUU and install that, but that would eliminate the nandroid, and as last resort will do it, but is there some other way I can get to recovery?
Edit: regarding clockwork, could I also install clockwork thru ROM manager, then come around and install amon ra? sounds like I could but...?

You should try that, that's easier way for you. Then flash amon ra properly. Always check md5 sum of download, the file could have been corrupted.

Well that didnt work either, went to the ROM manager, and flashed the clockwork recovery, rebooted into recovery but it never got there just hung up on the HTC splash screen before it, and I left it there for about 15 minutes.
I can reboot and its working fine, just cant get into recovery, what now?
Maybe RUU install?

Did you go in applications then settings and see if fastboot is unchecked. Or pull out the battery, then hold the power button and volume down and see when you get to the screen with three androids on the bottom, scroll to recovery and choose it by clicking power button?

Try fastboot erase recovery through FASTBOOT, then flashing a Recovery image again. Won't hurt to try.

Alright finally it worked, I went into fastboot and erased recovery then installed 2.3 after downloading, thanks guys, not sure why it didnt work earlier, maybe installing over it was not liked, either way all done!
