So i tried to flash a rom like a normally do and i get stuck on the green screen.
I noticed now when flashing a rom is takes alot longer to flash then it usually did , i wiped pulled battery multiple times and still the same results. If i try to flash a froyo rom it will stay on the mytouch screen for a few secs and reboot to recovery mode on its own. every other rom just gets stuck and will not move. im limited to only recovery mode and Fastboot , are their any simple fixes that can be done and thanks in advance.

Have you tried fixing apk uids? I've also heard you can use the bootloader to do a more thorough wipe.
If I were in your situation I would apply sappimg to unroot and start over.

im fairly new so i only know how to flash roms . outside of that im pretty much clueless. I tried flashing a new radio & when it tells me to reboot to complete installation it says no more room or somthing like that. it does it really quick so i cant tell. Also how would i go about unrooting?
EDIT .. ok unrooted the phone and it seemed to have done the trick.

Glad you're still operational. Now you can retrace your steps and figure out where you went wrong. I also had to unroot and go back to Cupcake before I successfully completed my first rooting.
If you're just flashing ROMs, I would stay away from updating the radio unless the developer specifically says you should.
So i flashed something that my phone doesnt agree with and now it gets stuck in boot. it gets to samsung screen then goes black and back to samsung over and over..
through clockwork i've wiped everything, tried to recover, tried to flash fresh roms, new kernels everything but i'm still stuck.. is this a situation to try odin? I don't have access to a pc so i just wanted to know if that is the next step cause its kinda of a pain in the ass to get a hold of one

what exactly did you flash to your phone that it didnt agree with
i flashed geek's uv superfast test and then followed his links to enable the BLN.. i think i might have flashed a bln mod for another device by accident but i'm having trouble finding the links i clicked so i'm not positive.. all i know is after i flashed it my boot animation changed to i 9000 and then it got stuck and then it got stuck in boot lock
to be frank, i can't find what the **** i did so i'm starting to think i was in a diff device forum or something... i musta flashed something for another device

yeah you are pretty much screwed
screwed as in i should go to verizon w/ a sob story or screwed as in try odin
Couldn't you use Odin to restore? Or have you already tried that?
yeah man just revert to stock via Odin . Youre fine , happens to everyone at some point . Get back on that Android horse and ride it haha .
Yes, use odin.
If flashing other kernels doesn't fix this, (ie you still get stuck after the Verizon logo with lit buttons) let me know. I've got a trick up my sleeve for this, but I've only seen it happen twice, it's pretty rare.
i'm not proud of myself but i went to verizon and they gave me a brand new device...

OK I did the same thing last week. I fixed it by running voodoo uninstaller. Don't know why it worked or how but I was desperate after being without a phone for 2 days. Then that afternoon my replacement showed up via fedex

Hello, I am travelling and am in urgent need of fixing my mistake. I updated to EB13 and lost my root, so I rooted my epic with the EB13 fix. Everything was fine. THEN I saw the EB13 fix that also updated CLockwork and allowed you to reformat into EXT4. I did this, but somehow I am now unable to boot the phone. It hangs at the "samsung" screen.
I believe that I caused this by forgetting to flash the EB13 DualFS Kernel before rebooting... but am not sure.
Any ideas? Worst case scenario, would factory reset through clockwork fix this or am I screwed now that I went to EXT4.
Just use Odin to go back to the stock EB13. Everything will work fine after that.

Yeah the problem is that u forgot to flash the dual rfs ext4 kernel. So ya u are screwed. U are going to have to flash back with odin to di18 then u have to root with the 1 click root 2.5.x.x the flash the pre rooted eb13.zip update then re root with the 1 click root cwm3. Before u re boot u have to flash the kernel. The u should b good to go with eb13 ext4. Good luck and I hope this works out for u. I went through the same thing and that's what I did.

Whew! Thanks a lot guys. I am preparing to try this fix right now.
On a higher note, I am in Vegas, so spending a night doing this (even if I had to buy a new phone tomorrow) was probably cheaper than going out.
Yeah I kinda did the same thing I flashed the kernel but did reflash my rom. It booted up but that was about it kept hanging up screen going blank after about 20 seconds. Was a mess but a reflash of eb13 and my old rom got me going again.

I now have a working phone! Thanks for all the help... now I just have to get root AND ext4 going, then I will be happy.

Lol im glad to see the search works
Im sure all the info is here already but im pretty nervous about bricking my phone. I'm on 1.2.6 but it kept asking me to update over and over and i would hit no but it popped up at the wrong time and i hit yes and it rebooted the phone and tried to do it. I pulled the battery out to stop it and booted it back up but now in my notifications it says next time i connect to wifi it will install 4.1.57. So my question is do i have to flash back to a stock rom (im on the gingurblur rom) before i can run the update. Also i used aroot to root the phone so since i already rooted if i flash back to stock rom and update to 4.1.57 ill retain root?

In order to update you will need to flash 4.1.26 if you don't then while trying to install the update it will fail. Once you update you will lose root and you will lose gingerblur as there isn't one for 1.57 right not. But you can keep root if you follow these instructions. Hope this helps.

PS. None of this will brick your phone just read all instructions and you'll be alright.

EVO 4G rooted with Unrevoked. Right now I can only boot into bootloader and fastboot. There is no ROM and It will not let me load ROM or recovery from fastboot or sdcard. I can fumble around fastboot and adb but most of the time I get an error.

Any help greatly appreciated! If I am in the wrong place, very sorry
Which recovery are you trying to flash and how?? via PC36IMG?
Thanks for the reply!!! recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img. and update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip I tried both as pc36img from HBoot and via fast boot. neither worked. I also tried to install to change boot.img via fastboot. same message.
Look for the Amon Ra thread in the Development section, grab the PC36IMG.zip Make sure that it's named exactly like that and flash that in Hboot. That should give you recovery.
i wish there was odin for htc devices
Will try that again first thing in the a.m. Been working on it all day and the brain is mush! I'll post the result as soon as I'm done. Thanks!

i have been rooted for a while and i have changed ROMS many times. but the other day i flashed fresh evo and my phone wouldnt reboot and i thought i screwed it up but then after a minute it came on. realized that ROM wasnt what i wanted and i flashed myn warm 2.2 and it rebooted just fine but when my phone turned on, it just kept initializing and didnt end up running. then i realized i didnt flash the radio and wimax updater it came with. so i went into recovery and wiped everything then reflashed the rom and radio wimax and it just froze in the white htc evo 4g screen. getting to hboot and bootloader works fine but freezes when i try to go to recovery.
if i didnt make sense or said something stupid i apologize!! i am a 4 month noob. any help is appreciated!! thanks!!

That was what happened to me sorta. I have been flashing that phone since November of last year. Something must have hiccuped during the last flash process because I have never had that happen before. This is my first possible brick and I am really pissed that I can't figure it out!!! Arrrgg! Off to start over with the new Amon RA recovery! Wish me luck!

Well this happened to me once, what i did was i put on my sd card any other rom (i was using cm7 nightlies so i put another nightly in) and then i wiped cache and flashed it, however it might also help if from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702 you get the format all zip and use that to wipe everything. once you have flashed another rom and your phone turns on wait a little bit and then try once again to flash the first rom you were trying to flash.

Holy Cannoli!! Ok that .zip worked for the recovery (I tried several different downloads!) Now I have to see if I can copy an image. Wish me luck!
Thanks for the info. I totally though the phone was bricked. Actually the phone would load in HBoot and Fastboot but I couldn't get a recovery on or a ROM. In other words there was no ROM to boot to. In addition to that, wether I tried from SD card or fastboot, I couldn't get any .img, .zip etc to install. So here I was with an HBoot - S-off and no way to get a recovery or ROM on the puppy. I am still working on this and still jammed up but the recovery gives me hope. Please stick around in case I have a meltdown. (hasn't happened yet but I can feel it getting closer!) LOL
Stick around for the detail of what I did If I can get this ROM onboard! Maybe this will help someone else.
Success!!! I have a recovery and a ROM!
Here are the details...First I believe my SD card was/is corrupted. I am still using it and I formatted it several times but I think something was squirrely which is now fixed. Second, the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip that I downloaded at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=recovery
worked awesome to get a working recovery via HBoot and SD Card. Next, I used the new recovery to load my ROM. and Voila a working phone.
Moral of the story, Check the SD card, USB drivers, and file downloads for corruption. I think one or all of these played a part in my crash.
@ Johnboy this is an excellent group of developers and members here at XDA, I have been flashing both Winmo and Android for a long time but can always rely on the forums to bring me back to center when I crash and burn! Thanks everyone for your help.
You should try wiping everything but your SDcard: option and flashing a ROM first and see what happens

Johnnyboy1409 Did you ever get this fixed?
No it won't let me go into recovery to flash anything. All I need is a trick to get into recovery and I can wipe everything then perform a nandroid restore. I already have had the pc36img.zip on the root of the zip. It is copied correctly but idk if I spelled it right on here cuz I'm on my girlfriends phone and can't remember it.everytime I boot into hboot that zip updates but doesn't help...

when you go to boot loader and it loads, it then should ask if you want to update splash - hit no, then to reboot - hit no, then you should be able to go one down and hit recovery. do you get those options?
I get those options but when I click recovery it goes to the white htc Evo 4g screen and stays there no matter how long I wait.

I know I sound like a broken record but try formatting your SD card or using a different known good card and also use the link in my post above to re-download the pc36img.zip Amon RA Recovery. Then you know all the components are "clean and without erro". Then you can start to figure out the problem.
