k i have a Evo 4g and i was flasing a rom and now the rom doesnt load... just the lockscreen apears then the phone restarts....i did a nandroid back up and tried to restore the back up and same thing happens...
i formated everything and even the sd card and i have that same problem... i also get the 5 vibrates and green light problem sometimes... i have recovery...
what should i do flash PA36IMG.zip from hboot???
What ROM was it?
Did you totally wipe EVERYTHING (Except the SD Card)
it was the mikg 2.1 +3.0 rom... yes i wiped everything except the sd card...
whats weird is the lock screen shows up then just restarts and keeps doing it....

First of all, go back into recovery and wipe everything in the wipe menu except the SD card and then flash a 'rooted' stock rom (whether ODEX or DE-ODEXED is irrelevant). A link is in my signature. If you can successfully flash a stock rom then it is safe to assume that your current rom is corrupted somehow. Also, what radios & kernel are you using with your current rom? Are they compatible?
i almost feel like when the rom tries to read the sd card it restart..... i did switch sd card same problem

Try downloading and flashing the Synergy rom. It is almost the equivalent of the one you were trying to flash. Let us know if you are successful or not. Disregard my previous post for now, please.

It could be and that is why I always suggest a re-partitioning & re-Formatting of SD cards from time to time. Do you happen to have an ext4 partition set up on your card?

If you are unable to install any other roms, then yes, back up the contents of your card and then, especially if your recovery is amonRA v2.3, re-partition it while in recovery. You should see 'Partition SD card' in the recovery's menu. You will be asked to set a size for the SWAP, ext2 and FAT. If you want to simply have use of the entire card as a FAT, enter 0 for the SWAP & the ext2 partition. If you have lots of 3rd party apps and you plan on installing a rom like Synergy or it's equivalent, you may want to set up an ext3 partition. If you plan to use a Synergy-like rom, I 'suggest' you set up an ext3 partition in this manner:
0 for SWAP
either 1024 or 2048 for the ext2
the rest for FAT and after the process is complete, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3'. All of this is done from within recovery.
Afterwards, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything in it including the card. Then copy a freshly downloaded copy of the rom you want to use and then flash it.
i tried that.... now the sd card dont want to mount or format... and Synergy rom is doing the same thing it boots to the lock screen the reboots..
If it were me, at this point, I would run the RUU for your phone and then click on this link and follow my guide.

Baron, are you still S-OFF? If you are and if you don't think you need to re-flash your recovery, then I agree with HipKat that you need to flash the ruu. If your hboot version is 2.02/2. 10 then yes, flash the ruu with software 3.70.. If you have a Windows computer, you can download the exe version, connect your device to your pc and then run the exe. You can download either version from the link in my signature.
Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
i am still s-off... with h-boot v 2.10.0001
and im download exe version of RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15. 00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe now... get back to you soon
If the .exe version doesn't work, then give the PC36IMG version a try. I've used that one and it works well.
i run the app and its giving usb connection error at what state does my phone have to be it for this to work?? im in recovery mode right now... htc recovery..

i run it in hboot???
Yep. Make sure it's called PC36IMG.zip and when you boot to Hboot and it does it's scan and asks if you want to update, say yes.
Be ready to flash recovery right after that, btw, so you'll have to get the PC36IMG for recovery on your disk after Hboot Runs RUU. Just let it boot up, if it will and then try to connect to your computer, and swap out the PC36IMG's
i flashed the ruu then Amon_RA-supersonic-v2.3 recovery and it just does the same thing boots to look screen after a few secs it reboots. and sometimes it get stuck at a black screen and green blinking light.. then i have to pull the battery...

So my friend reformatted his sd card to fat32 (this was so he can pub PB31IMG.zip in his sd card and flash it using hboot he is rooted but clockwork recovery doesn't work)
Anyways when the phone is plugged in to the PC, two disk drives show up "DISK G" and "DISK F", both are completely blank.
What does this mean?
It wasn't like that before he reformatted them both to fat32 file system.

Well if they were formated they should be empty. Formating means to wipe all data and rebuild the disks file structure to fat32. Are you able to drag and drop files into the folders?
Ya they can drag and drop the problem is he formatted his internal storage as well
And hboot says "cannot find image or wrong image" when trying to flash PB31IMG.zip (put both PB31IMG and PB31IMG.zip just incase)

Not sure about that but if he's trying to fix clockwork he can flash from ROM manager. Sounds like an incorrect hboot file.

Ya thats the problem, clockwork recovery is a blank screen with two white bars on the sides for him. Its some issue with the Incredible LCD screen not seeing the recovery. Thats why he was trying to flash a working recovery but cant because hboot won't read it.

What hboot version is the phone on now. As said earlier you can flash it thru rom manager. If you have an unlockable bootloader you can fastboot flash cwm recovery img. Where are you getting the files from? Try this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip

I believe his hboot is 0.92 with more 0's after the 92.
Ya we tried flashing clockwork recovery and then rebooting into recovery but no luck, still a blank screen.

You can not flash cwm recovery or anything thru hboot except an officially signed ruu unless you are s-off. I would follow one of these guides to root and optionally get s-off. There is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1506258, or this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1600904, both do the same thing just wrote up a little differently.
Thanks for all your help, I'll try those guides but the links give a 404 error.

I had an Inc for a while, I have moved on to a RAZR maxx. I haven't worked on an Inc for a while. My friend asked me to help her. She is totally stock. Low storage space warning. Factory reset , from ROM or hboot , leads to android with triangle/exclamation mark. I think she tried to update OTA and the download failed. She has 3mb free. Under "SD and phone storage" the internal phone storage lists the total and available space as "unavailable". When I try to go to recovery from hboot it sounds like a bad hard drive, not the phone vibing but a drive spinning up an stopping a couple of times. Any help or recommendations? Thanks.

You need to do an ruu thru hboot. Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard in no folders. Boot to hboot and wait a few secs, hboot should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. That will ensure everything is there and not corrupt.
Then you will want to root the phone, and flash the ext4 no data limit mod, or flash a rom that its built into. That will solve the low space issue.
Fyi, these phones do not have hard drives with spinning disks like pc's. They use flash memory which is a chip, no moving parts.

I pm'd cm for help, but figured I would start a thread. I tried to do an ruu through hboot, but the file isn't recognized. I formatted the SD on my computer using SD formatter 3.1 and also formatted in the phone. I downloaded the file twice. I tried 2 sd cards. I have flashed radios and such in the past, so I am familiar with the process, and it is ignoring the file on the SD card. The phone boots up and seems to run okay, but I can't factory reset it. I know that it has flash memory, I was trying to make the point that it isn't "vibing", but it is making a slight buzz when recovery is selected. Any help is appreciated.

What hboot version doed the phone currently have. If its 1.02 or 1.07 you can try to use htcdev site to unlock it, then get a custom recovery on there. If you can accomplish that, then you can see if recovery will see the sdcard. If it can read it, you can wipe everything and flash a custom rom.

Well if you can boot you can try an ruu exe with your pc.
I only recently realised that CWM stores backups in .ext3.tar format instead of a .img format. When I search for a way to use adb for recovery, i've only found ways to use a system.img file but not an ext3.tar file. Is there any way to perform a recovery if I have a system.ext3.tar file using adb? or anything else?

Actually, on the Droid Incredible, system.img should be the format for the system partition. .ext3.tar sounds ok for /data and /cache but not /system.
After verifying the image is for the right device you could format system and untar it to /system after mounting it. Again, I don't think this will work on the incredible as CWM creates .img files for system.
Why can't you use recovery directly anyway?
I can't get into recovery so I'm trying to use it through fastboot. Didn't quite understand can I use the .ext3.tar as an .img?

No. You'd need cwm or adb. Did you already try reflashing recovery in fastboot so you could get to it?
If that doesn't work you may need to ruu.

Place it in the main sdcard folder and then reboot into HBOOT which is hold vol down while turning on the phone. and if it doesn't get picked up, check if the sdcard is formatted as FAT32.
I forgot to mention if you do an RUU update or flash stock via the PB31IMG, it will wipe your internal storage(emmc). You will lose root but not s-off.

Even though it is already fat32, it is sometimes necessary to reformat it again to get hboot to find the file. Just back it up to a pc, reformat it fat32, and then place only the PB31IMG.zip file on the sdcard and try again.

rename the RUU.zip to 0PJAIMG.ZIP, place it on a ext sd card formatted in FAT32 (a 16 or 32gig one should work), reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE, agree and it should flash.
Can't be exact right now, in bed about to go to sleep lol, I presume you know how to get into download mode, not recovery. If the file is located in the sdcard at root it should commence flashing if named as I said before. Good luck.
