[Q] The blind leading the blind

I need to beg for some expert help here. I'm pretty new to root and roms, but I have a friend who is even less sophisticated. He is nonetheless rooted and was running a CM7 nightly. Somehow he has gotten his EVO stuck in a boot loop at the splash screen that says HTC. He can't get into recovery from the bootloader to flash a nandroid.
I've exhausted my limited knowledge. I dumped PC36IMG.zip on the root of an sd card and the phone does see it from the bootloader, but when you try recovery from there it's right back to the boot loop.
Any ideas?

You put pc3 image file on sd card then go into bootloader than fastboot and it should say update yes or no and lick yes

Oh and dont put the p36img.zip dont put name zip

It only gives the option to update when l use the .zip file. Using the unzipped file (recovery.img) it doesn't seem to find the file.
Both end up back in the boot loop.
:/

What root method did you use?
What happens when you attempt to boot into recovery from bootloader?
Can you get adb access to the phone? If so you could try reflashing the recovery manually, which is very simple once you're set up for adb.
All hope is certainly not lost. Worst case scenario he ends up with a fresh install of the stock rom.

This is not a rare problem and there are a lot of threads in this section addressing it, with most unable to fix the problem. You'll have to search through my posts, but on one thread I recently posted a walk through I found that child fix the problem. It was in the last week, do you should find it. I'm on xda app now, do I don't have a way to get to it

The PC36IMG.zip you reference, is it for a RUU or a recovery? Since you're able to get to the bootloader, there is still hope. If you have a PC, you can download one of the executable files from HERE, connect your EVO via USB and then run the executable. You can also try re-flashing the recovery. I suggest using AMON_RA. Flash its PC36IMG.zip file from the bootloader.

What was on the pc36img that you was trying to use?
Can you get back into bootloader?(turn off phone then press and hold power and volume down)
?

I can get back into the bootloader
also when I reboot, I see the HCT evo screen then I get a small picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point over it.
I am not sure which version of the pc36img file I have. I used it about a month ago, now it doesn't work

I would download a new ruu to update in boot loader make sure its for the evo 4g and has your hboot version

This is sprint lovers rom its kinda outdated but when you get your phone working you can get a better rom if you want ok so heres how to install it
you have to put the file on the root of your sdcard and it should already be named pc36img then once its in the sdcard You put your phone to bootloader by pressing vol down and power button then let it scan and it will ask you to update hit yes and let it do its thing
Tell me how it turns out
Hope it works
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

the file is named ilvidsetupv1.zip
should I rename it pc36img.zip first?
Thanks for all of the help!!!

sorry it is named ilividsetupv1.exe not zip

For me it says pc36img make sure you click direct download
are you on windows?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

wait, stop, time out: all you did was lose recovery. download THIS file and put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). boot up with power+vol- and let the phone update. when it asks if you wanna reboot say no and then go to recovery. you now will have working recovery to flash away with.

U sure cuz when I lost recovery I could still boot up

Please help me with my HTC desire HD not booting

Well hello guys, first let me explain what happend.
Last sunday i rooted my HTC Desire HD and everything went well. First I installed the latest miui rom with desire hd support from miuiandroid.com . But then i heard more about jelly bean roms and today installed codefireX's R19 version of his rom. But when i found out that it did not work with whatsapp I decided to change back to miui. Since i had made a nandroid backup of MIUI I thought i could use that. And this is where the problems started appearing. I hit the restore button in my recovery and the restore was succesfull, but when it rebooted nothing happened. I got the HTC logo, but after that I got only a backlit black screen. Wich then went completely black with a little noise comming from my phone After a few seconds it rebooted again and went straight into recovery. I have tried all my nandroid backups, but none worked. I even tried flashing MIUI from scratch, but that only send me into a bootloop in wich i could see the MI logo and then nothing.
So whatever i do, it just wont boot. I can get into recovery and the bootloader, but nothing more. Please help me guys, i searched all over the internet but have not found anything like my problem. Have I broken my phone??:crying:

Hey guys, well after a lot of trying and patience if finaly got my Phone to work again:laugh:. I flashed android revolution and that booted right up. But i still wonder why Clockwork restore didn't work

did you unlock bootloader with the official htc tool? if you did, recovery cant restore your kernel, similar to when you flash a rom. in this case, you should be fine flashing kernel like you do when flashing a rom
if that is not the case, it is probably just a corrupted backup. it does happen sometimes

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, have you fastboot flashed the boot.img?

Hey th0mas_, well I did use the htcdev way of unlocking my bootloader. So i guess that that is probably the whole problem. But just a noob question, how do i flash a kernel?? Tnx ahead guys, still a bit to anxious to flash a new rom though hahaha.
And to you gray, i just needed to have a lot of patience, after a few minutes of quietly brilliant. It just booted into the setup. But you do have to flash the boot.img first before it will boot.

If you are s-on, then recovery cannot install the boot.img. It seems you are s-off so the recovery can install boot.img so no need to flash the boot.img

You've done a full wipe؟؟؟؟
1 - full wipe ( with delvik + cache ) in recovery
2 - install your rom ( if your rom have problem try another rom)
3 - extract boot.img from your rom zip file and copy to fastboot folder
4 - and go to fastboot and type this command :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
if again show error try with another rom
i hope solved

[Q] Phone Stuck booting into Clockwork Recovery v5.0.2.0

Tried to root and flash a new rom. I believe the root worked however phone keeps rebooting into clockworkMod Recovery. Prior to rooting it i tried to downgrade my operating system but that didn't work. unlocked the htc bootloader and i was even able to flash clockworkMod Reocvery v6.0.1.1 touch on the phone. Still everytime that i install the rom which is cm7.1.0.1 it always reboots into CMR v5.0.2.0. I may have flashed recovery reboot onto the phone which may or may not explain what happened. i don't know. I just know that my phone is messed up and I want to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. I can bring up HBOOT and CMR 6 in addition to v5 but thats all i can bring up. Please HELP
