well it all started when i tried rooting my phone, i used the hack ace tool, followed all the instructions and so far through it froze. after so long i decided to pull the plug and take the battery out... when it restarted it all booted up fine and i did the checks to find somehow it had done it
then downloaded cyanogen 7 and put it on with clockwork recovery is it? when it first installed it just boot looped so took out the battery and it started up fine, i had also made a backup of my stock rom which was a orange branded one. i messed around with it for a while before flicking back and forth between the stock and cyanogen when on cyanogen i think i put back clockwork recovery to an older state. after this it wouldnt access the stock rom files so i couldnt revert back to it, assuming it was the clockwork i tried to uninstall it with titanium but it didnt work and had to restart the phone. after that i tried re rooting hoping it would reinstall clockwork like when i first rooted it.
now my phone boots up to the htc screen and i dont know what to do, could anyone give any help?

you have to do a full wipe be for flashing a completely new ROM, if you go in to hboot then go into recovery, you can do the full wipe pm me if you need extra help
If I helped you hit the thanks button!

I rooted it using simpleroot, and that worked fine, I could get into recovery, had superuser and all that, and then I was going to flash the latest cm6 nightly, and it hung at the splash screen, so I tried to get back into recovery to restore a nandroid backup I made (which is now mysteriously gone), but took me forever to get back into recovery, which I eventually did, wiped data, and installed WD-Slide 1.0.2 and now it's boot looping. I don't know what's wrong, but if someone can help, that'd be great
Read the rest of the thread for that ROM. Most people get stuck in a boot loop. Flash a different ROM.
Ah, thanks. I should have read through that, but I didn't think that that rom was the problem. I thought it was something I did in adb. know why the CM6 build would just hang at the splash screen though?
The nightlys aren't running right use eugenes version of cm6

Good evening,

Clockwordmod Recovery
I was out and about today when I recieved a nice message telling me there was a system update to download and install. I got within WiFi signal and downloaded it. when I tried to run it, it kept hanging on the ClockwordMod (CWM) Recovery page. First it told me that it couldn't mount the SD card where the update was stored. So I mounted the SD card through CWM and tried again. This time it told me that it couldn't be verified. So I turned that off too. Then it told me something else didn't work so I disabled that (sorry, I can't remember but it begins with 'A'). I tried a final time to install the update but it wouldn't work still.
Then the phone wouldn't load. It just hung on the HTC white screen for about ten mins with no movement.
I removed the battery, reloaded by pressing Vol Down + On. I have tried every menu item but the loader tells me that an image (beginning with P****.zip) is missing. It lets me load the clockworkmod recovery page so I have tried to restore a backup that I made about a week ago. It restored it, (or so it said) but when I then told it to reload it still hangs on the HTC white screen.
It's now been hanging for ten mins and I'm just leaving it.
Does it just need to be left for a long time to reload from the HTC white screen?
If it does not reload, how can I get it to?
Many thanks for your impending help!
You havent bricked your phone, a bricked phone wont power on! For future reference, remember, you cannot flash an ota update with a custom recovery installed. As you have found out it messes your device up. Ok you have 2 options.
1. Try a full wipe from the mounts and storage menu. Then try to restore your backup.
2. Flash a custom rom from recovery.

I really thought restoring my backup would have done it.
I now need to try a custom rom.

Would you happen to know where I can get the Orange ACE Rom from?
I've tried to install the Cyanogen Mod but that has got me no further.
I downloaded the most uptodate build of Cyanogen Mod (7) and copied it to my SD Card.
Through ClockworkMod Recovery I installed Cyanogen Mod and it told me that it had been successful. I restarted the phone and it got past the HTC white screen.....
I was very excited until it is not sat here on the Cyanogen Mod screen which just loads over and over again repeatedly.
Any other ideas please? I suspect I need the Orange ACE Stock Rom....is it available?
did you wipe your phone before trying to flash the new roms as AndroHero suggested?
if not try that first (you can do it via clockwork recovery or via easy full wipe from mero01 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720)

yes, the only thing I didn't wipe was the SD card because that's where the rom / backup is stored. Do i need to completely wipe that then put the backup back on there?
as far as i know, it shouldn't be necessary. but i'm not really sure, sorry.
you could try formatting your sd card, wouldn't hurt, but maybe it would be better to wait for someone with more knowledge about android than me.

Thanks for your help so far. I am trying everything. If I could find the actual Orange Stock Rom (Ace) then I might get somewhere. I don't want to install a custom rom if not necessary.
EDIT: I have found an Orange Stock Rom (RUU). How do i install it?
I can only get to the bootloader screen so do I plug the USB cable in at this point and run the RUU from the PC once the drivers have installed? Do I put the RUU on the SD card and somehow run it from there?
i think this is the newest stock rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969374&highlight=orange+rom
but as AndroHero already mentioned, i think you can't flash stock RUUs with cwm recovery.
p.s. did you give easy wipe from the link from my previous post a try ?

I must admit that i've not yet tried the Easy Wipe. At the moment I am downloading an older stock Rom (the one that was on there before this happened) and am following some other instructions to extract the PD98IMG.ZIP which appears to be missing.
I DID go through CWM to competely wipe everything with the exception of the SD card and i managed to almost get CyanogenMod working....it would work for about 20seconds before reloading again....very strange. It has given me hope though. I tried wiping everything before doing the restore of my original backup but still nothing.
the download is taking ages so I'll give easy wipe a go.....wait....
SOLVED
thank you for all who helped.
I solved this problem by downloading an older Orange Stock Rom from the link above. After that, I followed instructions in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890 and reinstalled the rom.zip that it mentions. Sure enough, I am back to where I started about 3 weeks ago but because everything was backed up to the cloud I really don't mind at all. Sure, I have to root it with VISIONary again to remove all the apps that Orange have stuffed in but I can cope with that.
In fact, the worst thing is that I completed Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons and now i have no proof!!
Thanks again all.
glad that you could finally solved it!
i, too just lost all my angry birds saves because i just downgraded so that i could root my dhd
Hey people,
I've recently rooted my phone using the UnRevoked root method without a hitch. I've also recently installed HydraKernal's OC 1.13ghz OV v1.0 kernel (On the Stock 2.2 Froyo ROM). However recently my phone has been freezing and stuff, so I went back today to reflash my phone back to the stock kernal, using the stock one provided from HydraKernal's Support section on the website. After flashing, I get stuck at the HTC Incredible white boot screen and have to do a battery pull. I've tried reflashing to the previously working OC 1.13ghz kernal with no luck, and my SD card got corrupted so I lost my nandroid backup. Any ideas? I'm currently in the process of unrooting, but I'm not sure if this is the right step to take. I've cleared the Devlik and regular cache's but have not done a factory reset, because I'd like to keep my phone setup how it is. If you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks...
-Matt
You will have to revert to stock and then re-root. Because you have lost your nandroid, you lost a lot.
Download this file
http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/stockstuff/PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip
Rename it to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, Boot into the bootloader (hold vol- and pwr) and let it run the update. After it is done you will be back to a stock 2.2 and can re-root from there and do whatever other updates there are. I would suggest using a newer kernel as those hydra kernels are very outdated.
Okay, did it all. Worked like a charm. Rerooted with a Nandroid backed up to my PC. Learned my lesson. Thanks guys !

This thread is from March bud, just start a new thread.
Try going here pvillecomp.com.
I rooted my phone in March everything worked fine. It's shows s-off. I Was able to do a backup and install the MIUI rom. I didn't like it so I went back to the stock rom. Now over a month later I wanted to try a rom again. Everytime I'm in hboot it load and say pc36img is not found when i click recovery it don't load at all. Any help would be needed.

Have you tried to re-install recovery? I flashed to stock, and recovery was removed from my system, so I had to reinstall it.
Easiest way to do it is through ROM Manager from the market.
I did have rom manager installed and uninstalled it because I thought it was what messed up recovery. But reinstalled it an now it worked. Thanks alot

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.
