I am an Atrix user. Never had a problem flashing anything with it. My friend gave me his Evo to root and load a rom on. I was able to root and s-off OK, but just d/l'd a rom and tried to flash. Got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G boot screen. Pulled the battery, then booted into recovery. I did not backup ( I then wiped everything to begin flashing the ROM again. Well, now it seems that I have deleted everything. All b/c I was rushing and not thinking clearly. Anyway, is there ANYWAY to remedy this issue? It powers on to Hboot, but thats as far as it goes.
So you can't get into Recovery from Hboot? What happens when you try to get into recovery? If you can get into Recovery you could wipe everything then flash a ROM. Depends on what happens when you try to get into recovery.
If you couldn't get into recovery, I would download AmonRa as a PC36IMG.zip (link in my signature).
If that doesn't work, you could do something similar to a SBF. It is called a RUU. Search for the one corresponding to his Hboot version, plug up your phone and get to hboot and run it as an .exe. Resets to stock.
Try recovery thing first

Thanks for the quick reply. I am able to get into recovery, but when I choose flash zip-choose, it brings up nothing. Its empty.
I will research the RUU method now!! Thanks again!
If you just erased everything, go to recovery, wipe everything, use USB Toggle (If you have Amon Ra Recovery) put a ROM on your SD Card and try to flash it.
BTW, how long were you on the 4G screen?? Because it's gonna take a while to load the ROM and boot up on the first try
You didn't accidentally wipe and/or partition your SD card, did you? Try flashing AmonRa recovery as PC36IMG.zip (I'm guessing you are using clockwork). After you do that, go into Recovery and partition SD card. Then plug up to computer and mount as MS and transfer your ROMs over to your phone. Wipe everything except for SD (thrice is my rule) and flash the ROM and reboot. First boot takes a while, sometimes 5-10 minutes

Thanks, I will try that! I was on the 4G screen for over 20 mins. I got worried once it went over 10 mins, but let it go. Then once 20 mins went by, I pulled the battery.
Guys, Just wanted to say thanks again! I was able to connect using USB Toggle, put a new ROM on, then flashed. Everything went OK this time around. I spent some time on it while doing my work (I was at work haha) but enjoyed tinkering and learning another device. The quick responses saved me, otherwise my co-worked would of went home phone-less rather then happy. Have a good one guys!
NP. That's what makes sites like XDA so good!

Ive been using recovery 5.0.2.7 and I flashed new Recovery 6.0.1.4 threw rom manager today and it almost screwed my phone. I booted into 6.0.1.4 and it would not flash anything. I rebooted and my phone was stuck on boot loop. Luckily I made a backup on the old recovery. it took forever when i restored (30 mins stuck on restoring). and it didnt even say complete. I had to pull battery, powered back on and restore had actually completed (lucky) ....Has anybody flashed recovery 6.0.14 and experienced this issue?

Yea, It almost ruined my phone as well. I ended up having to restore to an older version. It wouldnt let me flash anything, constantly hung or restarted, and never actually told me that it finished, though when I rebooted it turned out that it did finish flashing, although much of it was messed up, almost like it only flashed certain parts of the rom.
I've had very similar experience with 6.0.1.4.
I'm glad I'm not alone, I thought it was just something I did wrong.

Why they have released the update is puzzle to me? Its bad. 5.0.2.7 is the best.

5.0.2.7 cache wipes and fix permissions do not work for ics hence the scripts. 6.0.1.2 worked great. i've had problems with 6.0.1.3 and eventually started using twrp. no regrets.
I'm using sk8's CWM 6.0.something touch recovery and everything is working.

I didn't flash 6.0.1.4 from ROM Manager (blackwing version), but I flashed it from CWM and I just got a boot loop while trying to install CM9 09-23 Nightly.
Did a battle pull, and tried to do stuff in CWM6 and it was super slow and nothing would flash. I couldn't even wipe caches or do a factory reset.
I ended up doing a Restore (which never finished) but did a battery pull and luckily I was able to boot into my previous ROM.
I never had any issues with 5.0.2.7 thanks to Darkside Super Wipe and Cache scripts, even flashing ICS and JB ROMs.

I had the same issue with 6.0.1.4 non-touch. But the touch version is working just fine.
Make sure you wipe dalvik cache and wipe partition before flash.
wow, I also had flashed the non-touch recovery and that's when I started getting all my problems.
I'm still using v5.0.26 and darkside superwipe, no issue at all roms
Twrp 2.2.2 is stable
another case of a product becoming a paid product while losing quality in the process.
Im currently running a Nandroid backup using 6.0.1.4 and its hella slow... like 20+ mins and still running, this is beyond bad. On 5.0.2.7 it ran in about 5mins.
Is the touch recovery better?
Edit: Now its at almost 40 mins... yeesh

I had the same exact problem with it yesterday. I was trying to restore my backup, so I tried to do a wipe/reset and it wouldn't do anything. So I just restored my backup anyway and it would always just stop at restoring secure.android. So I took out the battery and rebooted and my backup was restored. So I tried ROM manager to flash back to 5.0.2.7. But it constantly forced closed. So long story short, I'm now using twrp and I like it better.
Omg I thought I was the only one with this problem. Took me forever to get my phone working again. Had to Odin back to stock. 6.0.1.4 touch was working fine though (installed using Odin)

Hmm.. ROM manager flashed 6.0.1.4 just fine on my phone. I've done this procedure about 4 times too. Weird.

on 6.0.1.4 and 6.0.1.5, mine just hangs on "backing up .android_secure" and the progress bar never moves. I've waited up to 40 minutes with no progress. I've never completed a backup since I switched from 5.0.2.7. I'm going to switch to another recovery.
I flashed TWRP 2.5 and then flashed Task's AOKP 4/9 ROM and everything went down hill from there. The phone kept rebooting after a minute or so, so I did a factory reset and reflashed the ROM. That didn't help, it actually made it worse in that it would not get past the kernel splash screen. So I did another wipe and the same thing. I wiped again and flashed an older version of AOKP 4/5 and again would only get to the kernel splash. After another hour or so I decided I'll just go back to rooted stock, so using Odin 3 3.07 I flashed my trusted root69.stock_ATT_I747UCALG1 image and now it just stays on the Samsung screen.
I've run out of thoughts on what the hell is the problem and thought I'd ask.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get this paper weight working again?

Not sure about the problem with aokp. But your bootloop just pull the battery, reinstall battery, go into stock recovery, factory reset and voilà

This will do it. Flashing back to 4.0.4 will bootlopp until you factory reset in stock recovery

Same thing happened to me. Boot loop with 4/9 AOKP task so I Odin to the same file as you but that ran just fine. I would try to Odin again.
Oh and after stock with root I flashed 4/9 and all was good. By chance did you have custom boot animation?

I think it's the custom boot causing this issue. Anyway good luck. I know my heart skipped a beat when my phone would boot loop while to get into recovery. Once I Odined back to stock with root first/only thing I downloaded was goomanager and installed TWRP then flashed 4/9.

I'm back up and running again. A little embarrassed I forgot the factory reset last night.
Thanks for the reminder!
AOKP is a great ROM.
When flashing ROMs always follow these steps and you will be fine.
1- nandroid backup
2- format system
3- wipe cache
4- wipe Dalvik
5- factory reset.
Most suggest doing each 3 times.
6- install ROM and reboot
7- flash gapps
Let sit for 10 minutes.
Follow those instructions and everything will be fine.

OK I was on a 4.4 rom battery life was not good so I restored back to stock. Everything went good. Then it was doing some updates of apps then it said there was a update from att and I pressed OK on meant to hit no so it said phone will reboot when it did it went into my recovery and it keeps bootlooping into recovery. It will not let me restore to any of my back ups. What the hell I have like 3 different backups. And everyone I choose it runs and completes but bootloops back to recovery. Help

Same thing happens to me. I had to restore back to stock using LG flash tool. Then 're-root.
I wonder why it did that? Is there any other way

Can you try hard reset your phone.
You can wipe system cache dalvik and data reboot to recovery and try restore.
Else lg flashtool.

So, I'm having this strange issue where I can't boot into Recovery Mode.
I've been a flashaholic for a little over a year now, but I've never had this problem.
I wanted to get off of Philz because it wasn't wiping my phone correctly while flashing new roms, so I decided to go back to good 'ol TWRP.
I downloaded Goomamager and tried to install, no luck.
So I hopped on my laptop to flash via ODIN, still a no go.
Only after that, it doesn't boot into Recovery at all.
I tried to use ROM Manager to install CWM, because at this point I'm willing to use anything, still a no go.
Anyone got any ideas?
I can get into Download Mode, but no Recovery is sticking.
I try to boot into Recovery, but the device just reboots itself.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Depends on the android version. Also go back to stock with Odin and start all over. Make sure you using right recovery ? As far as philz cwm not wiping properly. Not to sure about that one. A wipe is a generic thing. What do you mean not wiping the right way?

Alright, I was gonna do that tomorrow on my day off, since the device seems to function properly mostly.
With Philz, I mean that I would Factory Reset, Wipe Data and "Wipe for new ROM", but when I would flash the new ROM, it would still have everything I had before on the device's SD memory, (which to me, is not a clean flash).
I am on Temasek's 4.4 CM11 v50.
I've been using this ROM for a long time and I've never had this problem in the past.
