So i wanted to get the new cm7 up and running. went into hboot and noticed that i still had .77 or something like that, remember reading that i should upgrade to .92. went back into the phone, downloaded .92, installed it....ever since then i haven't been able to reboot the phone into anything...besides hboot. it won't go into recovery. it won't do a normal reboot. it's hboot or nothing. this phone isn't the only contact with my family at home during the day that i have. so if anyone can help me i'd be very appreciative. If it involved adb...i would need exact lines of code. i've never messed with it, so its not in my bag of tricks. the phone was having issues with boot times for the last couple of days, but it always wound up booting up. well i've been waiting on it to boot up into recovery for 10 min now, and i don't think my luck for the day is about to get any better. did battery pulls, still nothing.
any info or help at all would be GREATLY appreciated.

Did hboot upgrade or not? How are you trying to get into recovery?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
it says it did. at the top of the hboot screen it says .92.000 and i'm just going to the recovery option from hboot. it won't boot the phone or into recovery though. just sits on the white htc screen, for 6 hours now.
When you update HBOOT, it can bork your boot.img. Reflash CWM and then restore a nandroid and you should be fine.
how do i reflash cwm when it won't even let me into recovery? i can update pb13img...thats abt it from what i can tell. lol.

Hboot automatically recognizes the pb12img... It's the first thing it does.
Put the file on the root of the SD card (not in any folders), boot into the Hboot and let it do it's thing.
your sd card NEEDS to be formatted to fat32 though.

Recovery is flashed from HBOOT via a PB31IMG.zip, not from within itself. You can use the PB31IMG.zip that I've linked to below.

i have a rooted htc evo rooted by unrevoked.
i was running miui rom. i updated to the newest miui rom and it worked fine.. after a bit i realized my wifi wasnt connecting so i went and flashed a different kernel. when it rebooted it worked but when i hit reboot from the phones menu it would get stuck at the white screen, so id have to take the battery out and hold the volume down button and power and wipe cache and data and reflash the rom just to get it booted.
but after about the second or third time doing so it gets stuck at the white htc evo boot screen . i can access recovery and have tried flashing other roms like cyanogen but just gets stuck.. when i tried flashing stock rom.. says installation aborted..
anyone have a solution? please this phone is where i do my business through and need help immediately....

Your Evo is fine, so relax.
Try toggling off Signature Verification, then flashing your ROM. Also, I recommend Amon Ra over Clockwork because the newer Clockwork will not flash older ZIP files that don't use the newer install scripts. Did you at least make a Nandroid Backup before attempting any of this?

Flashing to Amon RA recovery will be your best bet. Forget about clockwork. The easiest way to flash to Amon Ra would be to use ROM Manager, and select 'flash alternate recovery'. However, you can't get booted up, so that option won't currently work for you. You can download Amon Ra V2.3 in PC36IMG, from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026. You would then place the PC36IMG on the root of your sd card, either using USB MS toggle in recovery, or by removing your sd card from the phone, and using a card reader to put it in your PC and then dropping the file on it. Then put it back in your phone, and boot to the bootloader. It will detect the PC36IMG.zip, and ask you if you want to update. Hit volume up to say yes. It will then flash the new recovery for you. At that point, I'd try wiping again, flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (attatched), and then try reflashing a ROM. Remember, don't try restoring any previous nandroids made by Clockwork while your using Amon Ra. It will mess stuff up. Good luck.
honestly im not sure if i did i did a back up in the rom manager.. and tried restoring from there but wont do it.. and i believe the toggle is already off

Here you go. Try downloading this, it should work. Follow the instructions on Amon's page, for the bootloader method. Or just follow my previous instructions. Hope that works for you dude.

Alright, I'll tell you how to get back to completely stock and then root all over again. It shouldn't take long at all. This is what you do:
1) Download this ZIP, name it "PC36IMG".zip (no quotes) and put it in the root of your memory card. Meaning if your card shows up on your computer as E:\, then put it in E:\ (no folders).
2) Go into Bootloader mode/hboot (Power + Volume Down), and let it find the zip after a few seconds. It'll ask you if you want to apply it. Hit yes. This will take a while and your phone might reboot a few times.
3) When it's done, you're on an unrooted ROM, but still S-OFF. You can do one of two things:
A) Download the latest Unrevoked and run that all over again (takes like 5 minutes).
B) Download Amon_Ra recovery zip (replace the other PC36IMG.zip) and repeat step 2 to flash it. Then flash whatever you want.
That's it. From then on you can flash whatever you want. What kernel were you trying to use btw? HTC 17?
ok so to verify....
i have my evo in recovery i scroll down to mount via usb..
i put the pc36.... file into the root part of sd card...
then what?
because i click unmount after then do i hit reboot system now because i did and nothing happen just froze...
sorry if im not doing things correctly
this is a tedious task for myself so bare with me
should i go and try and install zip. from the root part of sd card as if i were flashing a rom
and the kernel i was using was whichever came with the new miui update something like savagezen or like that

It's alright. After you put the 1st zip (the actual ROM), go into the bootloader (the white screen with the Androids on skateboards). Step 2.

Okay. You're almost there. Now that you have the PC36IMG on your sd card, power the phone off completely. Then hold power and vol+down so that it will put you into the bootloader. Then just wait a few seconds, and the bootloader will scan and find the PC36IMG, then tell you it found an update, and ask you if you want to update. You wll press volume up to say yes to the update. It will then flash the PC36IMG (whether its just the recovery, or if you're unrooting and rerooting using Fred's method, you flash the same way from the bootloader)
sorry, fred already got to ya!

Just to verify, because it needs to be exact. THe file that you put on your sd card, is named exactly like this, correct ? :: PC36IMG :: It must be capitals. Do Not add a :: .zip :: to the end of it, because the phone does that. If you did label it :: PC36IMG.zip, it would really be PC36IMG.zip.zip, which the bootloader won't recognize. so be sure that it is on main root of your sd card, and named properly, then the bootloader should recognize it.

correct all i did was download.. save to desktop... mount usb on evo... then drag and drop to root folder in evo.... and when i go into install zip from sd card and go into root folder,.. its in there labled.... PC36IMG.zip
The bootloader should see it...That's really weird.
i flash CM7 savage rom and gapps and all seems normaly running a great rom but when i turn it off for a bit and then i turn it on...my evo doesnt start fully and its stuck on boot doesnt even let go to the recovery it restarts all over again ...i tried to clear the data or restart the bootloader...and the battery is charge so its not it ...can some one help me with this or any advice what i should do .... ????
Pulling the battery, waiting a couple minutes, and then holding vol+down and power doesn't allow you to access your bootloader?
yes it does but then i try recovery and it doesent work tho.. :/ and i already put the battery out its benn 24 hours like this...
I'm not entirely sure, then. I'm rather new myself, so I'm not too knowledgeable yet. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will chime in soon.
DirtyShroomz should be perusing these forums right about now... anytime, buddy.
What kernel are you using...had similar problem with sense ROM due to a flashed kernel that didn't play well with custom ROM. You can try to reflash your recovery if you can find a flashable zip of it or a PC36100.IMG of it. Put on root of sdcard and flash PC36100.IMG through bootloader or flash zip through recovery. What does your recovery do when you access it...it wont let you reflash the ROM or what

Please be a little more specific. When you say 'but then i try recovery, and it doesnt work tho', what doe you mean? Does it hang at the white 'htc evo 4g' screen (splash screen) or does it give you a black screen with a red triangle? When you get to the bootloader, it still shows that you are indeed S-off, correct? What happens when you pull the battery, and try to boot normally? Do you have any success? If so, download ROM manager from the market, and use that to reflash whichever recovery you were using, either clockwork or amon ra ( i suggest amon ra) If you are unable to boot into the rom at all, and you're unable to access your recovery, then the first thing to try is reflashing your recovery, using the bootloader. To do that, download the PC36IMG that I'll attatch. That is Amon Ra recovery, version 2.3. Download the zip file, make 100% sure that it's named exactly PC36IMG (capitals matter), and put it on the main directory of your sd card ( you'll need to either use an sd card adapter, and put it right into your computer, or put the sd card in a different phone to transfer the file) You may be able to access the sd card using hboot usb, I don't recall at the moment. Either way, get the file on your sd card somehow. Make sure it's named right, and not in any folders. Then put the sd card back in your phone, and boot into the bootloader. The bootloader should then scan and find the PC36IMG file, and ask you if you want to update. Select volume up to say yes. Once it's done flashing, from the bootloader, select 'recovery'. You should now boot into Amon Ra recovery. From that point, I'd suggest doing a complete wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache), and then flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (i'll attatch it) Once you're done wiping, then reflash the ROM and Gapps. Reboot your device, and you should boot into the ROM. Good luck.
EDIT: I just saw that you were using clockwork before. I don't have a PC36IMG of clockwork, so just use Amon Ra for now. It's a better recovery, but if you must go back to clockwork, once you're phone's back up and running, you can easily use ROM manager to select 'flash clockworkmod recovery' , and that'll get you back on clockwork. just please be sure not to attempt to restore a clockwork backup using Amon Ra. That's a no no. You need to use clockwork to restore a backup that was made by clockwork. Just so ya know.
ok first i flash CM7 savege rom! then i flash the gapps for the cm7 then everything was alright but then i just turn it off and turn it in again and the bootanimation come in stays there doesent go on and restars it self so i pull the battery off and put the bootloader so i can tried recovery but it Doesent let me in to the recovery ...nothing appears it just send me back to the bootloader again ...and YEs it still shows that you are indeed S-off...and no red triangle it just restarts again .. :/ but thanks for the help i gonna try to see if teh PC36IMG file like ur said and try to put it on the Sd card

Okay, thanks for clearing that up, I got the situation now. Yes, flashing the PC36IMG, following my previous instructions will give you a recovery back. Once you get recovery back, you'll be able to wipe everything and flash the rom again, starting over. Recovery is all you need man!
dude tahnk youuu veryyy muchhh mann that works like a charm now can enter to the recovery so i can flash my restore my files thanks man!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked. Now that you have recovery back, you'll be good to go. Just make sure to do full wipes before flashing roms, and I suggest sticking with Amon Ra instead of clockwork. Once you get the system running again, make a nandroid backup using Amon Ra, and make sure to check the 'wimax' box, to backup your RSA keys (you dont need to backup wimax every time, just be sure to keep a good backup around of it). Then you'll have a solid backup using Amon, because as I said before, as long as you stay with Amon Ra, your previous clockwork backups are useless.
I have a similar issue. EVO bootloops twice and then gets stuck at 4G and stays there. I am able to boot into bootloader. It has
HBOOT 2.02 S-ON.
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01
So far I have tried....
Fastboot USB
RUU 3.30
RUU 3.70
Took the sdcard out and put PC36IMG.ZIP for 3.30 and 3.70. HBOT scans it with the blue bar and does the "checking the zip" and then back to bootloader. Does not give me an option to update. Any suggestions? I need help.

Sorry, I didn't see your question before I went to bed last night. So you are trying to flash back to stock? That's your goal. I see you're already S on. So both of the RUU's that you tried failed on you? What happened when you tried to run the RUU, did it give you an error or what? Do you have HTC Sync installed? You only tried putting one PC36IMG on your sd card at a time right? From the way you described it, it kind of looks like you loaded both on the sd card at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can even do that. Anyways, I'd try downloading the PC36IMG from a different source, confirming that you have a good download, and trying again. THe bootloader should scan and ask you to update. The only time I've seen where it doesn't is if the PC36IMG is named incorrectly, if it's in a folder, if the file is corrupt, or if your sd card is corrupt. If you can't get the PC36IMG to work, I'd suggest formatting your sd card (back it up first) then loading just the PC36IMG on there, and try again. Good luck.
Thanks for seeing the question. Tried pretty much everything. I just want it to work thats all. Its never been rooted. Now I tried the RUU for 3.29, 3.30 and 3.70 and they all give me Error 132 Signarure Error. I ran the RUU by putting EVO in Fastboot. I tried formatting the SDCARD and individually putting the PC36IMG. It does loading with the blue bar on the side, then "checking the PC36IMG" and back to HBOOT. Never gives me an option to "volume up" to update. I have done the PC36IMG files on another EVO and they worked fine before. I have tried 2 different SDcards. I got the RUU from shippedroms and also from here on xda. I got all PC36IMG from here. Don't know what else to do.

So, you've never been rooted before? Everything was just working fine, and then suddenly it won't boot up? Just hangs at the 4g screen? Is that accurate? Were any changes made to your phone before this happened? Any unusual apps you added, changes you made, anything noteable at all? Or just 100% random out of the blue?
So you ran the RUU with the Evo in fastboot, what happened? Did the RUU appear to run successfully, or does it error out? Any info on what happens when you attempt the RUU would be great. Did you try downloading a PC36IMG or RUU from this thread yet? I have never had a problem with one from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. Do you know what software version, radio version, and hboot version you currently had on your phone before it started acting up? Was it the most recent OTA, 3.70 software?
There is annother way to try to flash the PC36IMG using fastboot commands, which I've never done, so don't know the instructions off the top of my head. I'll post back when I find how to do that.
Are you sure you're not getting a bad download of the RUU's and PC36IMG? It's odd that your bootloader scans it, but doesn't ask you to update. That could be due to a corrupted file (bad download) Do you have a good internet connection when you're downloading the files?
The phone was never rooted. I bought it from someone. Practically brand new. No damage at all. I downloaded every single RUU and PC36IMG file from the link you mentioned but same thing happens. RUU ERRORS 132 and PC36IMG files scan and check out but no choice to press volume up for update. Hboot is2.02, radio is 2.15, s-on and the software version when I run the RUU says 3.30. I am stuck at this point. I can only get the phone to recognize fastboot. Help.....

Ok, so apparently I'm a big, fat idiot. I wanted 3.0 Sense so bad, I think I flashed a rom not for the Evo (someone pls tell me I'm not the only one!).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106799
So now I cannot boot up my phone past the white htc evo 4g screen, and I cannot boot in recovery. When I choose that option in the hboot screen, it only gives me a fastboot option and that brings me right back to the white screen. I have read so many threads on how to boot it differently, but I dont understand. If I am plugged into my USB, is there a way to flash something else? I backed my phone up before I stupidly flashed without reading all the way.. I assume because I am able to get into hboot that I may be able to recover from this??
Thanks for reading!

Flash the PC36IMG of amon RA or clockwork recovery. Then you should be able to flash a rom from recovery.

How do I do that? It only allows me to fastboot.

You place the PC36IMG on the root of your sdcard and when you boot into the bootloader it automatically searches for the file and then asks if youbeant to flash the update.
This is why I dislike root methods like unrevoked. Had you used an adb root method you would know how to do all this.

How do I access the root of my sd card if I cannot get the phone to get past the hboot screen?

You will need a card reader, or hell even another phone that you can hook up to the copmuter to read it.
NM, I have the sd card in my computer now.. trying what you said..
Thank you.. will let you know.
Always here to help. Let us know.
Ok, loaded the zip file and its not automatically updating or even asking me. It loads a bunch of green text really fast and I think it says, No image!

Make sure it is on the root of the sd card and not in a folder. And be sure it is named exactly PC36IMG.zip
All caps and not PC36IMG.zip.zip
To be sure you have the right file. Download this (Amon RA) and put it on the root. Do not rename or anything.
Yes, that is exactly how it is. It says, No image or wrong image! Trying again..
Is there a way to restore from hboot?

Nope. You will need a recovery to restore, flash, etc. You can run the ruu and go back to stock. Try the one I posted in the last post first.

Give it a minute and see what it does. You applied the update right?
Ok, something worked (YAY!!).. now these are my new options:
Android system recovery
-Reboot system now
-USB-MS toggle
-Backup/restore
-Flash zip from sd card
-Wipe
-Partition
-Mounts
-Other
-Power off
Restore didnt work, so I am flashing an old EVO rom now.. seems to be working.. fingers crossed.......
it worked!!!t hank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Lol. I was hoping I would come back to see that. the reason your restore didn't work is because you were using ClockworkMod before. You can either do the same thing you just did with clockworkmod, or just start over with Amon RA. Personally, I would go with Amon RA. Seems to wipe, clear, and backup better IMO. Take care!!
Cant boot phone but i can get to the Hboot. Ive tried to do a recovery and that doesnt work. my question is, is there a way to install a rom or stock img directly from a computer? or what other options i have?

Place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, on your sdcard in no folders and boot to hboot. Wait a few secs and hboot should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. This is the latest officially signed ruu, it will wipe everything and get you to compleete stock. There is a way to do it with a pc, but you have to be able to boot the phone to the os for that to work.

It must be named exactly PB31IMG.zip, which it should already be. It must be in no folders. If it still wont work backup and format your sdcard fat32 with a pc and then try again.

I have done this so many times no with multiple microSD cards and a few different PB31IMG.zip files. I can get to hboot and it sees the file, but after checking it it says that there is no image. I tried to flash CWM recovery using fastboot and it says it is successful, however when I try to go to recovery, it restarts the phone and sits on the white screen that says HTC Incredible. It will stay on that screen or continually boot to that screen.
Does anyone have any ideas for me? I don't care which software or ROM I get on here, I just want to get it running!

How do I wipe cash without being able to get to recovery? And pulling the battery only gets me out of the boot loop.
I can get to the HBOOT menu, but if i choose anything other than fastboot it just restarts and get stuck in the loop. I can't connect via adb either.
I'm not super experienced with this stuff, everything I've tried so far comes from somewhere on these forums. Any other help would be appreciated!

You need to back up your sdcard to your pc. Then format the sdcard fat32 with the pc (even if its already fat32). Place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip only back on the sdcard, in no folders named exaxtly PB31IMG.zip which it should already be named. Put the sdcard back in the phone and boot to hboot. It should find the file, parse it, and prompt you to press vol up to install. Once installed remove the PB file from the sdcard and put your backed up files back on the sdcard.

Ive tried this several times. Formatted several different sdcards and and tried several different PB31IMG.zip files. Every time it scans the file and then says wrong image error.

Have you tried fastboot flashing recovery, but wiping recovery first?
fastboot erase recovery
Then

I didn't realize I could erase cache through fastboot! unfortunately, it didn't seem to solve the issue. When i try and erase recovery so that i can flash a new one it tells me in cmd "failed, remote: not allowed". I can flash a new one and it tells me its successful, but when i select recovery from HBOOT it still drops me back into the loop.

Is your bootloader still unlocked? If not unlock it again, and then do the fastboot commands.

I tried a couple versions of teamwin and couldn't get it to work. Is there a way to install a different version of hboot or would that not make any difference?
