go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
then go to the download section and download the RA-supersonic zip file . Rename the zip to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd Card and then power off your phone and hold power button aand volume down at the same time.This will take you to the bootloader and it will say there is a update. Accept it and you will have amon ra now when you go to your recovery.
First, stop using ROM Manager.
Second, d/l this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?v453e5wg0on3pzt
rename it to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SDCard (As in not in any folders, just on the card)
If you have it enabled, disable fastboot in settings.
Power down, then hold Volume Down and power until the Hboot comes up. It will do a scan, find the file and ask you to upgrade, hit yes. When it's done it will reboot back to Hboot again, it will do that scan again, and this time hit no. Then click on recovery and you'll be in Amon Ra.
OK, now, since you are somewhat new, here are some tips:
1) Always do a nandroid of your current setup.
2) before you flash a ROM, go to wipe and hit User Data/Factory reset, then wipe each subcategory except SDCard: and Battery Stats, if you're not fully charged. I even wipe Dalvik and Cache twice. This will severely limit and reduce the chance of force closes, reboots, etc.
3) Flash your ROM.
4) You should research APS2SD if you're not using it. These ROMS are bigg and take up a lot of space.
Also, I understand that the God Mode version of Synergy takes for-EVER to boot up. I'm not sure if that's still like that or not, but read everything before you flash it and know what to expect.

First off let me say I'm new to root. I rooted my evo last night by following the 2.2 root video guide. Now I'm looking for a rom and kernal that's right for me so please be patient with a noob.
Can someone explain to me (in noob terms please) how to install a rom and kernal. If there is a video guide that would be great. I assume all roms will come with the same files so once I learn how to do it I should be set.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Please use the search tool. Most roms in the development forum say how to also.
And check the sticky in the same forum.

********IMPORTANT*********
PEOPLE USING AMONRA RECOVERY THE ROM AND KERNEL MUST BE ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD. ONLY ON CLOCKWORK RECOVERY CAN YOU SCAN THROUGH FOLDERS TO FIND YOUR ROM/KERNEL. SOME PEOPLE SWITCH RECOVERYS WITHOUT REALIZING SO TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE I SUGGEST PUTTING ALL ROMS/KERNELS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD. ALSO, WHILE ON AMONRA RECOVERY TO GO BACK A MENU/SCREEN YOU MUST PRESS VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP AT THE SAME TIME.
1.) To install a new ROM you first have to download the said ROM. (Obviously.) Second of all, you have to find the kernel you want to use. Most ROMs come with kernels but you can still download the kernel of your choice.
2.) Once you have the ROM and kernel of your choice, go into recovery mode by powering off your phone, turn it ON WHILE HOLDING the VOLUME DOWN button, do not let go of the volume down button until you're at the boot screen. Select "Recovery" by pressing the VOLUME DOWN button and selecting it by pressing POWER.
3.) You're now in recovery mode. Make a NANDROID backup (varies on how to do it depending on which recovery you're using) if you're on Clockword Recovery scroll down until you see something saying "nandroid" when there select it with POWER, then select the option that says "Backup". (Not sure how AmonRAs recovery works exactly.)
4.) Wipe data/factory reset twice, wipe CACHE twice, wipe Dalvik-cache twice. (Dalvik-cache is located in "advanced" in the main recovery screen.)
5.) Choose "install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card", press up once and it'll bring you to the bottom of the list and you should see your ROM, select it, then install it. Once done installing, go back and reboot your phone, it should be all done now. IF, IF, IF, you have another kernel, after installing your ROM, re-wipe CACHE and DALVIK-CACHE, THEN install the kernel.
You're all set.
Ok simple enough. Thank you for the info. Can I download the rom directly to my phone from this site or do I need to download it on my computer and move it to my sdcard?

You can download it from your phone, but make sure it's on the ROOT of your sd card. I prefer downloading it from my PC, then putting it on my sd card.
So you mean make sure its on the sd card itself and not in a file like downloads right? Also can I delete the PC36IMG file so it doesn't do that update check every time I go into bootloader?

Yes, make sure it's not in a folder like "downloads". And yes you can ditch the PC36img.

Depends what recovery you are using. Ra recovery has to be in the root folder of the SD card. Cwr you can actually go through folders and search for the zip. So it wouldn't matter where you out it on SD card for clockwork but If ra recovery and its in a folder in SD card you won't see it and can't search through folders for it.

No problem just trying to help out.. I used Cwr then found out the delvik wipe didn't work. I had my SD card organized. Had my roms and kernels in a folder. Switched to ra recovery and couldn't find them. Realized then it had to be in root folder. Thought somehow I lost them during the process. I have a backup on my pc also just in case.

Noob here. I woke up this morning and my phone would no longer boot past the white screen with the words htcEVO4g on it. I am able to get to the bootloader screen, but am unsure of what I do when I'm there, to get a working phone. =P
Each time I select recovery from the BootLoader menu, it just goes back in to that boot loop. Turns on, quick vibrate, white htcEVO4g screen, then off again. Rinse and repeat.
Can someone tell me what I should do from here?
Thanks
Are you rooted with S-off?
If you are get a pc36img and put it on the root of your sd go into boot loader let it scan and it will ask if you want to update put yes and let it update. Tell me if it works
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Before you do that, just boot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache, then try to reboot.
I had that happen a few times with mine, in the past, and simply clearing the caches worked.

Thanks. The phone is rooted with S-off. I actually have two EVO 4G's. Me and my wifes. This phone here that is having issues is actually my wife's phone. So what I tried, was switching sdcards, and inserted my sdcard in her phone (because it has a different pc36img file on it) and tried it from there. Same thing. It just goes in to the boot loop. I will give this another shot though. I'll download another pc36img and try this again, just in case I did something wrong.

Unfortunately the phone prevents me from booting in to recovery. I can boot in to the bootloader by pressing the power button and the volume down button. However, from that menu, when I select recovery, it reboots, and promptly goes in to the boot loop, and never gets to recovery.
Maybe you don't have a recovery have you tried putting in a recovery?

How do you put the phone in to recovery mode?
I think he means that you need to flash a recovery, they come in .zip form too
We're comin from a pure power source.
I am an Atrix user. Never had a problem flashing anything with it. My friend gave me his Evo to root and load a rom on. I was able to root and s-off OK, but just d/l'd a rom and tried to flash. Got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G boot screen. Pulled the battery, then booted into recovery. I did not backup ( I then wiped everything to begin flashing the ROM again. Well, now it seems that I have deleted everything. All b/c I was rushing and not thinking clearly. Anyway, is there ANYWAY to remedy this issue? It powers on to Hboot, but thats as far as it goes.
So you can't get into Recovery from Hboot? What happens when you try to get into recovery? If you can get into Recovery you could wipe everything then flash a ROM. Depends on what happens when you try to get into recovery.
If you couldn't get into recovery, I would download AmonRa as a PC36IMG.zip (link in my signature).
If that doesn't work, you could do something similar to a SBF. It is called a RUU. Search for the one corresponding to his Hboot version, plug up your phone and get to hboot and run it as an .exe. Resets to stock.
Try recovery thing first

Thanks for the quick reply. I am able to get into recovery, but when I choose flash zip-choose, it brings up nothing. Its empty.
I will research the RUU method now!! Thanks again!
If you just erased everything, go to recovery, wipe everything, use USB Toggle (If you have Amon Ra Recovery) put a ROM on your SD Card and try to flash it.
BTW, how long were you on the 4G screen?? Because it's gonna take a while to load the ROM and boot up on the first try
You didn't accidentally wipe and/or partition your SD card, did you? Try flashing AmonRa recovery as PC36IMG.zip (I'm guessing you are using clockwork). After you do that, go into Recovery and partition SD card. Then plug up to computer and mount as MS and transfer your ROMs over to your phone. Wipe everything except for SD (thrice is my rule) and flash the ROM and reboot. First boot takes a while, sometimes 5-10 minutes

Thanks, I will try that! I was on the 4G screen for over 20 mins. I got worried once it went over 10 mins, but let it go. Then once 20 mins went by, I pulled the battery.
Guys, Just wanted to say thanks again! I was able to connect using USB Toggle, put a new ROM on, then flashed. Everything went OK this time around. I spent some time on it while doing my work (I was at work haha) but enjoyed tinkering and learning another device. The quick responses saved me, otherwise my co-worked would of went home phone-less rather then happy. Have a good one guys!

Only thing I can think of is your not using amon ra. CWM is known to not wipe correctly and can lead to problems
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
this is what someone else told me to do, (i copied and pasted it) think hes right?
"Ok. I suggest using Rom manager to switch to amon ra recovery. Once you've done that, do a complete wipe ... Including cache, dalvik, boot, data, and system. Flash Rom. Allow 5 mins after initially screens before downloading apps and making changes. This allows the Rom to settle. After you've done that, you can move on with your setup. I would suggest staying away from Rom Manager, you won't need it.
MikG is the replacement to MikFroyo. I've never heard of a MikFroyo 5.x"

CWM blows. Wipe cache and dalvik and flash another kernel.

i am new. how do i do that from recovery?
i did wipe the dalvik cache. is that enough? then i tried unzipping the tiamat sbc kernel and it was still stuck.
btw....is there a better rom that supports wimax???
If possible, upgrade to a Ra based recovery. That'll make the wiping and flashing easier on your part, as far as ROM choice, I'll give you sense.

RA refers to Amon Ra, another popular recovery for the EVO. CWM is known for being troublesome on the EVO, so RA-based recoveries are the way to go.

Flashing recoveries for dummies:
STEP 1: Download recovery of choice (smelkusmod ra recovery)
STEP 2: Rename the zip to "PC36IMG.zip" and move to root of the SD card
STEP 3: Boot to bootloader and follow the prompts to update recovery
STEP 4: reboot to recovery
STEP 5: Prosper!!
(If this doesn't go to plan, unzip the pc36img and check the txt file and change the mainver to 1.00.000.0, zip the file again, and repeat from the beginning)
Hope this does the trick
Tried it. Read that whole thread. What is fastboot? When I select it in recovery it doesn't seem to be the same as what everyone talks about. My recovery in clockelwork alternate recovery looks like the original and doesn't do anything special.

PM me and I'll help you sort this out once and for all when I get some free time.
Try this. Download the Smelkus recovery and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). Rename the file PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension on the end or it won't work). Once this is done, turn the phone OFF and unplug your phone from your computer. Once the phone is OFF, hold down the volume DOWN button, then press the power button and wait for the HBOOT screen to load. If everything works as it should, you'll get a prompt asking you if you want to update. Use the appropriate keys to select YES, then wait for the update to load. When you go into HBOOT, as part of its loading process, it looks for a file on the SD card named PC36IMG.zip and when it finds it, will ask if you want to update. Also, make sure you don't have more than one file on your SD card named PC36IMG.zip, or you'll have issues. Once you've got the recovery loaded, you can re-namethe file on your SD card something like PC36IMG1.zip, to avoid any issues should you have to use HBOOT to install another PC36IMG.zip file down the road.
That's what I did but I did it all from my phone. Does that matter?

That's what I'm telling you to do. You can actually download the PC36IMG to your phone, but you'll have to move it to the root of your SD card using something like Astro File Manager. That's why most instructions say to hook your phone up to a PC and download the PC36IMG to the root of the SD card.
When you press the volume down button and power button, what happens?

I get what looks like the original recovery. I got cwm and flashed the alternate recovery. I tried shutting the phone down to bootloader and it will try to flash the img. Then it gets stuck on parsing. I changed the maniver and then it says no image when flashing and there's nothing about an update. I'm s-on.

Flash Image GUI.
Looks like that's what I will have to do. I started out trying to avoid paying. 99¢ for it. Seems pretty dumb now lol.

Um, you can get it free on this site.
But seriously, is 99 cents too much to pay for such a useful app?
Which do I flash? The img or the mirror???
