So I have my EVO rooted w/ unrevoked since last years launch. I have run Fresh ROM's up until about 6mon ago when I installed CM7 RC1, then 7.0, then 7.0.2. Last night I decided I wanted to try Synergy or Fresh again, so I updated Clockwork backed up the phone, then installed Synergy.
Everything went fine, wiped Cache/User/Dalvik, installed then rebooted. I was stuck at the Unrevoked splash screen, and about every 20seconds It would reboot and continue the cycle. I battery pulled went to Clockwork and Tried my Fresh ROM, did the same thing. Ok, So i said screw it, im gonna restore it. So I navigate Clockwork to the location i backed up to, then restore.
After a reboot, the unrevoked screen would just stay frozen forever, no ROM booting. So I still had my CM7.0.2 on the card that i flashed 5 months ago, and all be damned it worked back up and running in minutes, whew.
So this morning I am back at it, trying to install fresh again, and im going back throught the same unrevoked spalsh screen boot loop. Any help on figuring out what is wrong?

You cannot install synergy with clockworkmod. It must be installed with amon ra. This is stated in the original post of the synergy thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Ok I guess I didnt see that part about Synergy. Howerver I just tried to install the latest Fresh rom, and it was doing the same thing (rebooting at the Unrevoked Screen).
However I was able to flash to the latest Cyanogen 7.0.3 Stable for EVO, so until I find a solution, I guess I am stuck w/ that in the meantime.

I would still try flashing Ra Recovery and seeing if you can flash Fresh ROM.
Also it could be ur SD card. Alot of times its not partitioned right or what not. I know cm7 leaves SD card alone for most part.
free the dirk
The solution is to get Amon Ra, so you can wipe properly and partition your SD card properly
might wanna wipe boot as well...usually fixes issues in such cases.

Last I used CWM you could not wipe boot without a custom script (ie. Calkulins format all, or VR_Superwipe)

Amon RA recovery has that option under the wipe menu.
But then Calkulins format all or VR_Superwipe are good too. Gets the job done.
This is all very helpfull, I am going to try some of that in the next few days. I really didn't have any idea that SD partitions can effect the boot of a phone, Ill read about that as well.
Today I managed to get the Latest Stable CM 7.0.3 on my phone, but the experimental 7.1 wouldn't load, so I am going to stick with that. One of those things when you feel like you have read everything before you start upgrading, then you miss something and all goes to hell. Thanks for the help everybody.

Yes I know this. I use ra recovery. However the OP uses CWM which is why I assumed you were instructing her to do this with clockwork.

Long story short:
Read up about losing wimax numbers or something if I only backup with clockwork, so I use Rom manager to switch to amon ra 1.8, every thing was fine showed the with under current recovery. So I entered recovery, well hboot screen? White screen options usb recovery reboot ect. Then I hit recovery like I have done before and it took me back to about the same screen maybe options rearranged. Tried a few times same result so rebooted all was fine and I figured I would switch back and try clockwork, no big dealer I would Google later. So I switched back, verifies in Rom manager under current recovery. Then I try again, same results. So rebooted and Google to no results finally decide to come here and hope for an answer. Before you ask I am fully rooted s-off double checked for the last few months, current Rom is Myn's warm rsl4 awesome Rom Myn's stuff is great and my phone is still working and running better then ever. This is a new problem nothing has changed except maybe a few games, nothing with root privilege or kernels, radios ect. I am on the latest (prior) to 3.7 radios and what not, this problem is much newer than any of my changes and I have backed up since then. Any help guys would be great, especially a solution where I don't need to redo my phone, I only planned on doing that for Myn's rsl5
New symptoms:
Can not backup with Rom manager, goes to bootloader and has the same outcome as the other attempts.
Updated Rom manager, it said new clockwork, tried to flash, came back with a error. Before I could switch from clockwork amon ra and back, now if my evo messes up or I need to update my Rom what do I do?
Spelling/grammar Nazi's please be kind, it is 4 something am and I am a stressed and tired mom

Not sure if you have tried this but it worked for me.. Uninstall rom manager completely and then re-install it.. flash clockwork first and then reboot into recovery from rom-manager.. if it loads.. reboot and go back into rom-manager and install amon-ra.. if it doesn't load reboot and flash amon-ra and try it that way... if that doesn't work and you're comfortable with fastboot or adb download amon-ra and follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026

i have aman ra recovery. just got the phone three days ago and rooted it the next day with the unrevoked beta with no problems. i hadnt done any thing else to it, was doing a backup to check out some custom roms. its software 3.70.651.1 2.02 hboot.
this just happened with me.
running RA, Myn's RLS4, netarchy 4.3, hboot .97
tried flashing a fresh copy of RA...but its not working, either, now. it gets stuck on the white screen when trying to boot into recovery from hboot.
i ended up flashing sprintlovers and that worked for me. id still like to know what went wrong though. glad i had just got the phone so i didnt lose too much stuff. had to put all my contacts back on and reinstall a couple of apps
I had the same problem on my phone, but I didn't do unrevok, I did a full wipe which basically gave me a rooted PC36img, and when I reboot in AmonRA recovery I can reflash that PC36IMG automatically and send me back to stock, then you basically have to reroot, wipe data and reflash the rom..
got my evo about a month ago. rooted lastnight since unrevoked finally pushed out their 3.3 version which is updated for my version of hboot (2.02). the root went very smoothly. i installed the latest cyanogenmod rom, only to discover there was no market or gmail app with the rom! wish i had known that before. after doing some research online, i found out i needed to flash or install a "gapps" apk. so, looked around for that for a couple hours and couldn't find it. i downloaded what i thought would be the right .zip file to get the market on my phone (a vending.apk that was listed in another thread having to do with this same issue). so anyway... downloaded that, moved it to the root of my sd card, flashed it through clockworkmod recovery (by the way, everything up until this point was perfect) and finally rebooted my phone... only it never rebooted. the white htc EVO 4G screen was there. then, black screen, as if it was about to begin the cyanogenmod boot screen and fully boot. but, no. it went from white evo screen to black screen... to OFF. after this, i couldn't even turn it on to get it into hboot or access recovery. tried to do that for two hours. and finally i was able to get in... so i tried doing a factory/data reset through recovery, then a cache clear, then reboot. nothing. same thing. went back into recovery, tried reflashing cyanogenmod rom again. nothing. tried flashing myn's rom. nothing. all i get is installation aborted.
i am pretty sure that this is not a complete brick since i am now able to access hboot and recovery. but if i can't flash anything... and i'm stuck in hboot and recovery and cant boot my phone... what the hell do i do now? please help me figure this out!! anybody have any good advice or a known fix...??
Boot into recovery. Do a factory reset. then wipe cache and dalvik catch. Re flash cynagon and let it boot. You then need to find gapps.zip. Boot into recovery flashing gapps.zip.
i did all that. step by step. and when i reflashed the rom, that is when it wouldn't install, saying installation aborted. but, i'm gonna do it again. let's see if my phone wants to play nice now...

If that does not work! you are going to have to update with sprint lovers rom, that is in a PCM36IMG.ZIP. Install it by holding the _vol and th power button, boot into boot loader, than it will search for the zip file and ask you if you want to update, say yes ans just weigh for it to be done. Its going to take few minutes first boot! just hold on. I hope this helps in anyway.

ok is the install through recovery supposed to be almost instantaneous? it didn't take a minute like every other rom. and after reboot (10 minutes ago) i'm still sitting on the white htc EVO 4G screen. i don't think this is working either. but i really do appreciate your help. any other suggestions? is there anything else through recovery that I can do (since i cant make it past that) that might fix my system? anything in partition? i'm so stuck!

Did you try a rooted RUU yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
Wipe everything twice first (just to be safe). Are you using Amon RA or Clockwork, by the way? The only other thing I can think of would be that your SD card isn't formatted properly, but that would have to mean you intentionally formatted it or put in a new one that didn't have the right files on it.

i am using clockwork. i've wiped so many times... but i can't make anything happen. and, i did format the sd card eventually, but not until a couple of hours ago... and only as a last resort because nothing else worked and i've been trying to fix this since last night, so i figured it couldn't hurt. but if that is part of the problem... how can i fix it? thanks for your response. i don't know what else to do other than take it in for a switch.l but if i can get into hboot... then sprint can too... and they will see that i'm rooted and void warranty. so am i completely screwed?
I had same issue.
I just reflashed the sprintlover rom (PC36IMG.ZIP) which came with Amon_RA recovery.
Then i installed the CM6 with Amon_RA recovery and everything works fine now.
Good that i did Titanium backup few days before
This is happening to me too. Almost everything he's describing is the same. Except I installed a gapps.zip and then it wouldn't boot after that. No matter what I flash, it either gives me a status 7 error and aborts the install or it may "install successfully" but it never boots. Also tried the pc36img.zip as well. I had a nandroid backup and tried to restore that, but that aborts saying cannot flash boot image. Tried a rooted and also an unrooted stock ruu, they won't work and the .exe version on a pc can't find my phone when I plug it in and power it on. Anyone have any Ideas for me. I can get more specific error messages and hboot numbers, etc. if needed.
I think you should get Amon recovery PCIMG zip file and change recovries and try everything again... IMO
Edit: I posted the Amon file and all you have to do is rename it to PCIMG.zip. Also I think the gapps you were looking for you can find on the cm site itself or within that thread. Sorry if it sounds like I a being negative but I see alot of people get on noob and I wondered why but unfortunately its because things like this happen. In the OP for CM6 it says to use Amon and backup your keys. Now if you get your phone backup you got to first check and make sure your RSA keys are in tact unless you backed them up already.
Joeykrim has a app on the market to check or there are numerous threads on what to do. Sorry and hope it works out for you if not INS is your friend

Yea but have you tried Amon and from what I read and this is from developers Amon has a much better handle on things as far as backing stuff up, partitions and protection of keys.
I ran Clockwork on my wifes phone because to me its simple and works with Rom manager but after a while I just said F it and switched since it was messing up my backups. Hey to each his own..
Ok, I don't believe that your device is bricked. You may have flash the wrong gapps or something, but is should be easy to fix.
First, download these 3 files and put them on the root of your SD card:
Cyanogen 6 stable for evo
Latest gapps for HDPI
Calkulin's format all
Red through first, then follow my instructions EXACTLY:
1.) Boot into recovery.
2.) Flash Calkulin's all format. This will wipe everything that needs wiping. (everything but the SD card)
3.) Without exiting recovery immediately flash the CM6 .zip. Do not flash the gapps yet.
4.) Reboot the device now. It will boot into cyanogen, but will not have market or anything. Once fully booted, reboot to recovery.
5.) Do not wipe or anything, just flash the gapps HDPI.
6.) Boot the phone and enjoy.
Evo won't load any roms, can only get into clockwork recovery
Okay, so if I try your steps, just like before The install gets almost to the end, then I get:
"assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.1.2-supersonic-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Sorry Playya, I wanted to try this one more time first. I'm going to try loading Amon Ra now. do I need to rename it to pcimg.zip or should i just flash the current file name?
In case it helps anyone, I have
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
my boot loader screen shows
SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.0001

it may say oops if you battery level is low... I think Amon is so much better its just that Unrevoked puts Clockwork in with their root so people get lazy and leave it in... Amon - its the way to go.
1. Charge your battery and try again
2. Backup your wimax keys - then check how big the file is and hopefully its like 12 megs... If so keys may be ok
Hey all-
So I've flashed to CM7 3 times now and each time I get everything setup correctly, my apps restored etc. But as soon as I go to reboot I get stuck on the CM7 loading screen forever. The image is animated, but it will not finish.. it will go all night if I let it.
I have a feeling the issue is in the method im using to install. I'm coming from Fresh 3.5 using Amon Ra recovery. I cleared all user data, dalvik cache and then flashed the rom. I then flashed gapps and it boots into CM7 fine. The reboot is the problem. Am I missing a step? Should I be clearing/formating/deleting more before flashing the new ROM?
Thanks guys. This forum has been a huge resource for me in the last couple weeks. <3

I think i know what ur doing wrong first flash the rom then reboot then go back to amon ra wipe cache and then flash gapps and if it still doesnt work then do the exact same things but with clockwordmod (which u can both flash from rom manager).

Followup Question:
Can I restore a Clockwork Backup using Amon RA? Amon wants to check the nandroid folder for backups..and I don't have any nandroid backups (not sure how I didnt do one). can I move a existing clockwork backup from the clockwork folder to the nandroid folder on my SD's root and use that?
Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to flash to clockwork? Now when flashing to CM7 or Fresh I'm getting stuck on the loading screen.. Thanks
So, it looks like the issue is with gapps. When I flash CM7 it works great..once I reboot into recovery, flash gapps, I get the freezing error. I am using version:
gapps-hdpi-20101113-signed.zip
Is this what I should be using?
No there's a newer version you can use let me see if I can find it and get you a link...
Edit: I found the one on my SD card its not the newest but it should work

why do you boot into the bootloader first?no multi-boot option?Anyway,it sounds like the CM7 rom you flashed is corrupted,It sounds like you might have to format your sd card and start over,or reload a new recovery from the bootloader.If you had a multi-boot option you might be able to solve this without formatting.
hey,
try doing a factory reset getting rid of any apps you currently have and try using the advanced power menu to boot into recovery if that doesnt work, try re flashing a different recovery. let us know how it goes from there!
Good luck,
Stevo
Just try reflashing the recovery, should solve the problem.

CWM is junk, for one. Switch to Amon Ra
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^°^
What he said. Man, I just finished typing the same advice in a different thread. Lol.
Seems people coming from Samsung devices in particular tend to start with CWM. I'm not speculating on the OP here, just a trend I've noticed as of late.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I used CWM for my initial nandroid, after first rooting with Unrevoked, then flashed Amon. Anyway, as said try re-flashing recovery. Also, FYI, that "all Gingerbread Roms" was just for one device, the article was slightly inaccurate. I flashed the Beats audio zip myself but upon investigating in Roote Explorer saw that none of the files had actually written.
CWM is a great and sometimes better choice for a lot of phones, just not the Evo
