Help needed. Can't get out of bootloader.

I rooted using unrevoked and unrevoked forever, but I wasn't able to flash cyanogenmod, so I read up on NAND unlock and flashed the PC36IMG.zip from toast's method, but now it always restarts into bootloader and i cant get the os to load. Please help!

You should already have nand unlocked if you did unrevoked. All you you need is the eng hboot fix. Flash that zip in recovery , you can find it in dev section, then you should be able to flash CM hope that helps

This happened to me also. Go into recovery, run the mod zip again. If that doesn't work for you, you never saw me.

when i go into recovery it says E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
so i dont know how to flash anything

oh I see well try running ruu then just do unrevoked one click and youll be set just when you try to flash CM again after that make sure you flash hboot fix or it won't work.
Edit
Just read your post carefully lol czn you go into bootloader

I had this exact issue after I loaded that PC136 file and installed it on my EVO. I wasn't able to do anything but load the bootloader. I finally had enough after 5 hours of no help, and found the shipping ROM and reinstalled the original ROM on my EVO.
i have since re-rooted and will not even dare to go back at this time to try that mess!
People can get you rooted, but they don't know how to get you out of a hole!

Nand unlock

I'm rooted using unrevoked..I'm having trouble at this point..I can't unlock Nand..what is the easiest way to do this..thanks

Look im not trying to be mean but searching is usually your best bet. I am willing to bet your answer can be found in the first 4 pages of this forum. Try searching ENG Bootloader .

I believe the unrevoked forever does that for you but you have to select it.
from www.unrevoked.com
unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF. The security level is a flag stored on the radio; when the flag is S-OFF, the bootloader (HBOOT) will no longer check the signatures of firmware images before flashing them. This allows custom firmware images to be uploaded, including unsigned boot, recovery, splash1, and hboot images (as well as official images that have been modified). When the system is S-OFF, the NAND flash memory protection is also reduced; this allows all partitions (including /system) to be written to while the operating system is booted.

Great response REM

What are you trying to do, could you be more specific? Unrevoked gives you unlocked nand, so i'm not sure what problem your running into?

I used unrevoked..tried to install cyanogen n I get a error message
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

are you sure unrevoked worked, sometimes you have to do it a couple times....do you have superuser permissions? I would make sure unrevoked is correctly installed...also redownload your rom and make sure the download is completed successfully, i never dl to phone, always to pc...

I have superuser..I used unrevoked
should I use unrevoked forever

Boot the phone into bootloader and you should see S-ON or S-OFF. If you see S-OFF you have nand unlocked.

Yes, that is what I said earlier a couple posts up.

Ya can't flash cm6 directly from unrevoked you need eng boot and amon recovery to flash it. You are most likely nand unlocked but trying to flash through clockwork. Easy fix is download Rom manager from marketplace then choose change recovery or whatever it says. I haven't looked at it for aong time then choose amon ra recovery. Then do another nand backup because clockwork and amon don't really work together. Then you should be able to flash cm6 no problem. Though having already done this I would personally suggest vaelpak over cm6 its almost all aosp and everything on your phone will still be functional. Plus its just as snappy as cm6 and I seem to get a far greater battery life with it.

If you want to be able to install CM6 you need the ENG Bootloader.

Want to root

Just want to root and nothing else (no recovery, roms, etc). What's the best way to just simply root?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Use Unrevoked to root, and it will also give you s-off as well.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

It will also change your recovery to ClockworkMod.

What is s off?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

It's a more full root option. Allows you to flash hboot versions, splash screens and a few other things.
You don't really need it, it's more for advanced users but it's nice to have it off to give you the possibility of doing further tweaks to your device.
You can still flash ROM's and Kernels with it on.

No you can't, only the rru.can be flashed
Also s-off is rooting, it allows for access to system files

You don't have to have s-off. When running unrevoked, before you let it do anything, uncheck "disable phone security" and it will keep s-on. Much easier if you may ever have to send it in for service.

This is wrong. I have flashed numerous ROM's before I put S-Off.

Did you run unrevoked.

I, too, flashed multiple ROMs before doing S-OFF. S-OFF is for flashing things like radios, HBOOT versions, and splash screens. And metamorph things too I believe.

My bad, I thought you needed to be s-off for anything.

Hmm....I'm still not sure what exactly I need to do to root. I checked those links, and it looks like "unrevoked" is how you root, but it seems like there are different unrevoked software, so I'm not sure what to pick.
I was taken to "unrevoked3" but it said "this does not currently work with stock froyo phones." My phone is stock froyo.
Guess I just want to make sure before I do anything. With my previous phones, it was as simple as clicking a button to root.

It is with this phone as well
Unrevoked 3 should work fine as long as its for the incredible

Unroot

Hey quick question, what's the easiest way to unroot? Trying to help a friend, he is noob, and I don't know much about the EVO, any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Unrooting
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.
2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.
3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.

Thanks, would it also work if he just went to updates, and got the new gb update, would u run into problems going that though if it even worked?

If he did that, he could brick his device or lose root permanently.

What file exactly
sent from my HTC evolution running a freshly baked gingerbread with the 4gs in it

Uh.....what exactly are you trying to do? PC36IMG.zip is the name given to files that we flash via HBoot. The contents of that zip file can be a vast number of things that change various objects of the phone. Post your question, what you're trying to do, etc. so that we can give you the proper links/files.
Otherwise you may be looking for a PC36IMG.zip that installs a new recovery and instead get one that completely unroots your phone and gives you S-on. So we need more details into what you are looking for.

I need the one that unroots the phone please

Still need to be more specific.
You need an RUU to match your bootloader version, so that is needed.

Check what bootloader you have on your phone.
1. Turn phone COMPLETELY off
2. Press and hold volume down button while pressing the power button
3. A white screen will pop. This is your HBoot.
4. At the top it will tell you what version of Hboot you have. (i.e. 2.15.0001, 2.16.0001, etc.)
5. Take that number and post it in this thread so we can give you a file that will successfully flash to your phone.
