First thing's first - it's not a brick if you can get into the bootloader (which you obviously can). The device appears to be NAND unlocked (likely with unrevoked), so your next step is to flash a custom recovery (RA-supersonic recommended), and then you can flash the custom ROM of your choosing.

Great How do I that with a cable or SD card

You need to go the dev section, search for the amon ra thread, flash that recovery VIA PC36IMG method [explained in thread], then flash a rom through the recovery. Best to use a card adapter to place the files on the sd card till you get a recovery loaded.

What rom would be good for long battery life?

Preferable AOSP roms. 'Recommend team nocturnal's xplod rom, jared ICSMOD7 [cm7 based], or jared's ICS rom.

Good find. Already S-off, and with the old froyo radio. The tricky work is already done. Good for you. Good luck.

I put PC36IMG.zip on my sd card installed it in the phone do I use fastboot or recover or what

When the HBOOT and FASTBOOT come up I press the on button the a red FASTBOOT and blue BOOTLOADER comes uo press the on button a the green " SD checking loading PC36IMGzip " then it goes away.?

SD card won't read any thing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HI my EVO 4G has white screen and have S OFF I tryed to HBOOT with the SD card with PC36IMG.ZIP on it . I press the volume down and the on > the HBOOT comes up >press on button again > the green message quickly comes anf goes > all I cane see id PC36IMG then "loading no image ot wrong image " 3 or 4 times . I formated the SD FAT 32. why won;'t it read the card? What can I do

It said >Parsing SD zip 1 recovery do you want to start update I hit recovery and I see a progress bar go up the left side > the I say yes to reboot >they it goes blank and off

U need to put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD (not in any folders) boot to hboot and let it find the zip accept the update and let it install, once its done installing don't reboot scroll down to recovery and select it, download a rom to your PC, in recovery mount the USB ms and transfer the rom to your SD card, then go to wipe and wipe all options except battery stats and the SD card the navigate back to the main menu and select install zip from sd , navigate to your rom zip and select it let it update, then reboot and you should have a working phone, if you can't get to recovery after installing it , the device may have been bricked by twrp recovery which will let you into hboot but screws up the partitions so you can't flash anything in which case its done and there is no fix, if you can enter recovery tho you will be all good and able to flash a new rom and boot the phone up to activate it, since it isn't activated at this point I suggest installing a stock rooted rom or tommytomatoes classic as you will need one of those to use epst to activate the phone once activated you can flash any rom you like, you just need a stock or close to stock rom to activate it given it has a clean esn and can be activated on sprint, if the esn is bad your only options are to flash it to another carrier such as boost mobile, cricket or metropcs or use it as a wifi only device

[q] need help asap!!!!

OK SO, I DONT THINK IM A NOOB, BUT APPARENTLY I AM. MY HTC EVO 4G IS ROOTED, AND IM RUNNING CM7. FOR SOME REASON MY RADIO HAS BEEN ACTING UP. MY CALLS DONT GO OUT, AND MY FRIEND SAYS MY PHONE WOULDNT RING AT ALL. I TRIED TO BACKUP, RESTORE, AND EVEN HARD RESET MY SUPERSONIC. NOW, IM STUCK AT THE BOOT SCREEN. IVE WIPED THE DELVIK, THE DATA, AND THE PARTITION. NOTHING. IT WONT LOAD PAST THE ORIGINAL HTCEVO SCREEN. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. ALLL I REALLY CAN ACCESS IS THE BOOTLOADER, AND RECOVERY. IN RECOVERY, MY SD-EXT WONT LOAD, I CANT CREATE A BACKUP, AND I CANT RESTORE. WELL I CAN, BUT I CANT MAKE IT PAST THE BOOT SCREEEEEEEEN. HELP PPLS. PLEASE.
Click on amonRA in my signature to download its PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Turn off your device. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will flash across the screen. Look at the top of the screen and see if it says "S-OFF". Hopefully, it does. If it displays "S-ON" then you will need to re-root. Anyway, the bootloader *should* auto-detect the file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation should take no more than 10 seconds. When it is complete, select recovery from the available options on the left side of the screen. If all went well, you should boot into your new recovery. If so, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT the SD card. After that, try to flash a rom. Do not attempt to restore a nandroid backup unless your backups were created with amonRA. If you are able to flash a rom, be very patient during the initial boot. It may take a while. Let it finish. Get your mind set to wait 30 minutes even though it shouldn't take that long.

for some reason, i cant place the img on my sd card? its odd but its saying "insert a disk into drive E" unless im doing it wrong, im not sure i can place anything on my sd card without selecting "turn on usb storage" or is there? thanks for the help so far. just a few more tips and ill be on my way.
Can you get to the bootloader and then into recovery from there? If so, then disregard trying to flash amonRA right now. If you can, then select the MS-USB option or its equivalent if your recovery is ClockworkMod to copy a rom or any other file onto the card.
Posting & Replying from my EVO 4G
yea i can. but ive done all. wiped all, and nothing. what EXACTLY should i do?
Since you're able to get to recovery (I am assuming it's ClockworkMod), go to my initial reply and follow the instructions to flash amonRA v2.3 and everything else I stated. In the meantime, I'm going to locate a ruu for you to flash via your PC that *should* get you up and running. By the way, when you boot into the bootloader, what is the hboot version that is listed at the top of the screen?

If your hboot is version 2.10, then download the first RUU listed on THIS page. Connect your device via USB to your PC and then initiate the file. I'm preparing for bed. Take care.

Do u have any way of putting the PC36IMG on the SD card with your computer. Like a SD card adapter or anything? If so take the SD card out of.your phone and try to put the IMG file on it that way

If u have Clockwork, u can mount the sdcard while in recovery.
Or use another phone to place the img file in the sdcard.

[Q] Need help desperately! Evo stuck in boot loop. I've tried everything

I rooted my Evo a few months back. Everything worked fine for a while and then one day the phone restarted itself and never made it past the white evo boot screen.
Before saying anything else I've read through this forum and have tried many different steps to fix it.
I cannot access recovery through fastboot (it just boots to the white evo screen which it doesn't get past). I only have access to fastboot.
I have tried many times (and many different versions, stock, anon recovery etc.) loading a pc36img.zip onto the root of my sd card. It will go through the typical update process and when it finishes and I click reboot phone, it once again just gets stuck on the white evo screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you have an SD card reader or a computer with a built in card reader, copy the contents of your SD card to a computer or external drive and then re-partition and re-format your SD card. Afterwards, copy a freshly downloaded version of amonRA v2.3 (the PC36IMG. zip) and the rom you'd like to flash. Turn off your device, pull the battery, wait one minute, re-attach the battery and then attempt to boot to the bootloader (Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the Power button until your device starts). Hopefully, the bootloader will properly detect the PC36IMG.zip and prompt you to install. If it does, follow the prompts to install. Afterwards, select recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipeenu EXCEPT the SD card and then flash the rom.

Have you tried to flash a new ROM?
Thanks for the quick reply! I followed your steps. Reformatted my sd card loaded the amonRA v2.3 and the new rom onto the card. Booted in bootloader and ran the update. When it finished it asked if I wanted to reboot my phone, I selected no and tried to boot into recovery....same results. It's still stuck at the white boot screen.
Any other suggestions?
When I got stuck in boot loops, I just stuck the darn phone in a bowl of fruit loops.. worked for me. #justkidding
Did you unchecked fastboot box
After you reformatted the SD you need to make sure the rom zip is not corrupted.redownload rom
What type of rom are you trying to install, did you are partition the sd card.
When you installed the amron 2.3 did you delete the zip from the SD card after install...
Oh boy, haven't seen this on awhile....
Good luck...
This doesn't always work but is based on the last step before I order customers a replacement for boot failure on the Evo. Try flashing the 3.70 update zip then reboot the phone. If the phone boots properly then run the 3.70 RUU (this step helps reduce the chance of corrupt files). This gives you a S-OFF, unrooted ROM config on your phone. let the phone boot into the stock ROM agin and then double check your firmware's and pri as they may need updating again. From here the firmware/recovery/ROM flashing guides should get you back to where you want to be.

Turn off your device and then boot into the bootloader. Look at the top and make sure you're still S-OFF. When the menu appears on the left side of the screen, select recovery. It should work. If it does not work, do the following:
1. Download this particular RUU (PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip) from HERE

SHA-1 Checksum: F3725824147B54F4ED917CB025FB5F693B17782B
1A. I don't know what radios you are using so you need to download the following radios from HERE
EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19
EVO_PRI_1.90_003
EVO_NV_1.90_003
2. Create a directory named amonRA on your SD card and place the PC36IMG.zip file that's already on your card into that folder.
3. Now rename the above mentioned RUU to PC36IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.
Just a quick note: I am assuming you have HBOOT 2.02/2.10. If so, proceed.
4. If you cannot get to recovery via the bootloader, you will have to use ADB. From a terminal window, type the below commands as-is.
adb shell (press enter)
reboot recovery (press enter)
5. Once in recovery, wipe everything in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card.
6. Flash the listed radios 1 by 1 in order
7. Shutdown your device and boot to the bootloader to flash the RUU.
NOTE: If you're successful in getting into recovery, you can opt to flash a different rom. It's your device and your choice.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop after crash sd card please help

I really hope someone can help me. I can not use my HTC Desire anymore.
I am using Cyanogenmod for a long time and really like it. The version I am on no is the 7.1 RC 1 mod.
This morning my phone said my sd card was damaged. It was, I had to format it in windows and the SD is empty now.
The problem I now have is a boot loop when I turn my phone on. With or without the sd card installed.
I think I have to wipe my phone but how can I do this, or how can I restore a complete new Cyanogenmod install?
I have an empty SD Card now.
Thanks very much for any support!

Now I choose recovery and get a red triange. No wipe option availble.
Looks like my clockwork mod has been gone?
I haev found somewhere I can downloaded the cyanogenmod zip file and rename it to PD98IMG.zip. When I go into the bootloader I will be asked to flash it.
This is not working it looks likes the bootloader looks for another PD***.zip file?
Renamed to PB99IMG.zip
Renamed it to PB99IMG.zip. It is loading, Checking and I am back in the HBOOT menu. No question if I want to flash it. Now what?
I am stuck now
What recovery do you have?
Also, do you have root access?
It was rooted and had clockwork.
But it looks lilke clockwork boot disappeared.
I will use RUU to back to stock rom and root again after that.
Thanks for all support!
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reflash your recovery and restore your backup - which I hope you didn't lose
Edit -
Actually just read your post - you have an empty sd did you make a pc backup of your nandroid?
Android sometimes says the sd-card is damaged, doesn't mean that's the case. A lot of the time rebooting the phone once or twice, or booting without the sd-card, then with, fixes the problem.
when you boot into recovery and get the android triangle thingy try:
First pace the recovery image in your sdcard root and rename it to recovery (so the full name will now be recovery.img), then reboot into recovery and plug in via usb.
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (wait till this# sign shows up again before you type the next command)
reboot recovery
if that doesn't work, then it's a longshot since I haven't done it before but you can always try
reboot into recovery, press VOLUME UP and POWER at the same time, which gets you the stock recovery.. AFAIK I think you still can flash images from there, so if you got a recovery.zip and renamed it to "update.zip" and stuck it in the root of your sd-card, and chose the flash "update.zip" in recovery mode, that *should* fakeflash recovery and you'd be able to flash a ROM, and that should fix it for you.. if that doesn't work then use a RUU, and after you done that S-OFF so you can get yourself out of these situations easier!
I have done a RUU. My phone is now stock again.
What is the best way to continue from this point?
How do I make my HTC Desire S_OFF?

That right there means your phone is NOT rooted. I would boot into recovery and do a factory reset of the phone.
I entered the boot menu and hit RECOVERY... after that i got black screen with a picture of an evo, and an red triangle with an explanation mark.
After that i've done Factory reset, but my device is still reloading...

That is stock recovery, which is no recovery. Do a battery pull, go back to the bootloader, and select clear storage. That's a factory reset from the bootloader.
After a Clear Storage phone is still reloading, do microSD card have to be plugged in while clear storage ? and if it is, in what filesystem format SD ?
After a CLEAR STORAGE device first time runs Android and after few seconds reboots, and after that continue to reboot forever)

Your phone is stock unrooted so your SD card wont affect the boot sequence. Since it is unrooted you may want to just take it to Sprint and have them take a look at it.

Do you not have Sprint in Ukraine? If not then what exactly are you using a stock, unrooted, Sprint phone from America for? There are a number of cheaper MP3 player alternatives out there.
You can try running an RUU. Since I think that usb debugging has to be on (but I'm not positive), download one in zip form (not exe, you run those from a computer). Be sure that it's named PC36IMG.zip exactly and put it on the root of your SD card - that means not in any folders. Boot into hboot by holding volume down & power. Your phone will search for the file and ask you to update. Select yes with volume up. When it asks you to reboot, do so.
Use this here, it should be properly named.

If you hboot shows the 6.16 hboot, you're rooted; you just have no recovery. You can go to the dev section, download and flash the amon ra (style), cwm, or twrp/2.0 recovery at your choice.

Save flashable zip from here to desktop. Then mount phone as disk drive via usb and copy flashable zip to root of sd card. Boot into custom recovery and flash zip. If you are rooted and do not have a custom recovery I suggest Amonra recovery from here.
You can also download super user from the market here

Hmm, that's odd. Twrp 1.x works fine; it must be either the .2 or .3 version of Twrp 2, because I used the initialize version just fine. The only issue was that it sometimes didn't wipe a second time after flashing an initial rom.

Dude i promise you when you get it right you'll realize that it wasnt as hard as you thought. Trust me i been there before. Look w/ revolutionary if you did it right it'll ask you do you want to download clockworkmod from the internet. Hit "Y" for yes.
It does it automatically. I did a bunch of phones the same way.

Put the recovery on your sd card as PC36IMG.zip (make sure it's not PC36IMG.zip.zip).
Turn phone off and pull the battery.
Put battery back in and hold volume down while pressing power (press the volume down first before pressing power).
Hold until white Hboot screen comes up (should say Revolutionary at top).
Wait for it to scan your sd card and press volume up to let it update.
You can reboot phone or go staight into recovery by not rebooting and selecting recovery with power button in Hboot
here's a link for AmonRa 3.11 (recovery that I recommend) http://www.multiupload.com/UW89IC4DBW

Switch to AmonRa Recovery. CWM and the latest TWRP recovery seem to have problems. AmonRa is rock solid recovery

If you downloaded from the link I gave you in post above then rename zip to "PC36IMG" (all caps) and place on root of sd card and boot into hbot.
Notes:
To boot into hbot hold "vol. down' and "power" at same time. When you boot into hbot it will ask if you would like to update recovery. Select volume up and let it do its work and yes to reboot when finished.
PS: When you have finished updating recovery either rename PC36IMG zip or erase from sd card.
great.... now it want even reboot when i hold the power and volume button down. wtf!!!!
Pull the battery then try again. I had that issue once awhile back.
this is getting on my last nerve!!! i downloaded recovery ra supersonic and finally got it on my sd card. i click to download through revolutionary and it says cant open file. this is getting old! ok... please remember i am a totall noob with all of this. i suck bad with software. awfully bad. i can build a computer but i can not do programming and stuff like that.
after i download a recovery tool to my computer... what do i do after that? unzip the files... what? ive just been copying the folder and moving it to disk e where my sd card is. wow... this aggravating
i dont see how in the hell it shows the recovery file in my sd card then when i try to upload the file through revolutionary it says bad file... did not download. what in the hell else are you supposed to? this sux!!!!

Wrong. Leave the recovery zip, [named PC36IMG] zipped on your sd card, then boot into the bootloader [power off the phone, hold vot+down until you see the white screen] it should then prompt you to update and should say recovery, select up, select up to reboot, hold vol+down, this time decline the update, select recovery, and you should be on amon ra.
