I just got an replacement evo with HBoot 6.16.1002 and i rooted it with s-off with revolutionary method. However no matter what rom I flash(CM7,evodeck,sense 3.5 roms), they all freeze up on me after initial setup of google accounts and etc... the only thing that works is the stock rom. Can someone please help?
Are you doing full wipes when flashing?
I do full wipes, i wipe everything except sdcard at least three times before flashing
the bad part is, i tried several roms and they all do the same thing. I even unrooted my phone then rooted again and im still having the same issues. The stock rooted rom works perfectly.

Ok, so i installed one of the custom ROMs available and started using it. However, it always reboots my Desire every time I use my app (sometimes it restarts itself when I'm trying to input simlock code after power up). So maybe (I thought) its a bad flash of the custom ROM. I did full wipe and re-flash it but still no luck.
So i decided to install a different custom ROM (full wipe again before installing) - and it still reboots itself! So now I'm thinking - maybe i did a bad root of my Desire?? What do you think? And should I just re-root again to solve this issue?
NOTE
ROM (before rooting): FroYo OTA (ASIA Region)
Radio: 5.09*
Rooting tool: Unrevoked 3.21
Goldcard?: Yes
WHAT DO I DO!!!!
So I've rooted my phone (unrevoked)
and it is S-OFF (unrevoked forever)
now...
for some reason...
ONLY Sense roms that are 2.1 work.
And ONLY CM6 works.
ALL OTHER SENSE ROMS reboot random.
I cannot get any other rom to work with my evo
Any suggestions?
Maybe its the kernels i'm using?
Or maybe it's just my evo
Here are the evo specs:
SuperSonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.000
Touch Panel - ATMEL224_16ab
Radio - 2.15.00.09.01
WIMAX + NV + PRI + PRL all latest updates
did you previously back up on a 2.1 rom and are you trying to do a titanium back up or another restre of apps and system settings by chance?
if so thats your problem.
you can restore apps but not system settings and data if they were origonally taken from a 2.1 rom.
if not then can you explain more about what you are doing.
are you installing apps etc?
my suggestion is this flasha 2.2 rom do not back up or isntall any apps yet and do not flash a new kernal. if youa re still getting random reboots then something is up if not then try flashing the enw kernel and repeat if still nothing then start installing apps. at least that will narrow down your search.
wew
yea i'm attempting that right now.
i've installed the newest RUU and completely unrooted the phone.
if it reboots randomly i'll take it back to sprint and get a refurb
Edit: So...it randomly rebooted. gotta take it back .haha
Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster....unfortunately....
So after sitting on MIUI for a good while, and having a blast with it, I decided to try out some other ROMs. I was interested in seeing Cyanogen 6, and so I went about attempting to get the latest stable, non RC ROM onto my EVO. I read into it seeing that I needed to downgrade my hboot, and found the image without a problem (running the .76 right now, had the 9something one before...)
Well, I downgraded my hboot without an issue, flashed the Cyanogen, and got into a splashloop. I figured out it was becaue I hadn't wiped my cache or data before flashing the rom, so I went into the Clockwork Recovery and wiped those, flashed once more, and it booted into Cyanogen perfectly!
Well, almost. I don't have 3G now.
For some reason, I am unable to connect to 3G no matter what I try. My nandroid's broke due to the hboot downgrading, rewiping the cache/data and reflashing cyanogen did nothing, and now for some reason, when I attempt to go back to MIUI, it still will not allow me to connect to 3G. I can send and receive texts, and make and receive calls, but alas, no data connection.
Should I get a fresh RUU and stock hboot, upgrade and restart from scratch? I just want to get back to MIUI at this point with a working, data enabled phone.....
If that's the case, that I do need to start over, where can I find a new hboot for the EVO that isn't .76? I'm pretty saavy when it comes to this stuff, but for some reason right now I just can't figure it out....
HTC EVO running MIUI v0.11 stable
.76 hboot w/ Clockwork recovery
Broken nand backup
whatdo?
Thanks in advance for the help
Sorry for the double post, but I resolved my issue.
I am unsure of what exactly went wrong, but I figured it was somewhere between downgrading my hboot, and flashing the CM 6 stable ROM that my 3G data got scrambled....
So! Using ROM Manager, I made a backup of my working (non 3G) MIUI image, and flashed the Odyxed version of the RUU found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728). After flashing in Recovery, it booted into SenseUI, and worked like a charm!
My 3G hath returned, and issues have been solved. It's nice when you're able to fix things on your own, though I couldn't have done it without the help of that handy dandy search button, and the RUU keyword
Oh, yeah, and I guess xxbabiboi228xx as well.....maybe....^_~
Hey, guys!
I am in a desperate need of help. Here's my situation:
I've got an HTC Desire (obviously), which reboots every time the ROM starts. It all began after I decided to move back to a Sense ROM after having been testing ICS for the past couple of weeks. So, I flashed RCmix S - a ROM I knew to be stable and working snappily on my phone. Everything went well, I restored my apps with Titanium and then decided to remove some of the junk stock apps. When this was done, I restarted the phone, only to be faced with a series of reboots every time I got glimpse of the Sense UI (i.e. seconds after unlocking the SIM card).
I thought this might be a ROM-related issue, so I tried another one - Supernova. Same thing. Tried flashing it several times after full wipe always. No luck.
During the whole process I switched HBOOTs a few times - from stock, to Fatsys (IN2SD), back to stock. Tried several recoveries (AmonRA, 4Ext touch).
Even flashed official RUUs at least 3 times in order to get the phone back to its factory state. Once the stock ROM worked fine. Then I went on to root it and tried flashing one of the customs ROMs again, which, predictably, began rebooting just after SIM unlock.
I thought this might be connected to problems with the SD card, so I reformatted it completely - 6,8 GB FAT32 + 1 GB Ext4, using GParted. All by the book.
No I've got a clean SD (removed all the previous folders), but it doesn't seem to solve the problems.
Can anyone, please, think of something that I could do in order to get my phone back?
P.S. I forgot to mention, that my phone is S-Off. It struck me as strange, though, that it stayed S-Off even after flashing the RUUs.
New development: this morning, after successfully creating a Gold Card, I went on to try and flash a 2.2 RUU again. This time, however, the installer announced it was unable to access certain files and thus the flash process had failed. Meanwhile, the phone itself displayed a triangle and an exclamation mark on the 4 corners of the screen. I no long can access Recovery or the Bootloader. Help me, please!
Never mind, I managed it myself.
I recently unrooted my EVO to exchange for credit for an upgrade. I decided to keep it as a backup. I was on Hboot 2.18.001 and I rerooted through HTCDev, then PC36IMG to 2.2 to get S-OFF, ending up with Hboot 2.10.001. Somewhere during this rooting process I lost Wifi. When attempting to turn Wifi on, it flickers off and on and reports back that it is unable to scan for networks. In CM7, it causes more problems like force quits and lag. I am using this as a wifi only device as a backup music and game device.
I tried downgrading and upgrading the radios, I tried changing to hboot 2.15.001, I tried different ROMs (AOSP, ICS, Sense, 2.2, 2.3), I tried redoing a PC36IMG, I tried combinations of all of the above. I also tried nandroid restore. Still no Wifi. I am using Smelkusmod recovery.
Currently I am at a stock latest OTA ROM with root.
Any suggestions?
just wondering, did u ever drop it? thats what happened to my evo shift and i couldnt do anything on it other than install roms. i dont remember the version of the firmware but there was one that made wifi useless, meaning like it would turn on and find signals but wouldnt connect. my suggestion is to start from scratch, get the 2.2 ruu stock, before rerooting check to make sure wifi works, if it does then another suggestion would be to follow zedomax's rooting with revolutionary (witch i currently have now). if none of that works then eather sell it for parts or take it to sprint to get a refurbished one.
Good luck!
