ok so 2 things really.
i can only get 1 nandroid back to work. the nandroid is of stock root so this isnt a huge problem. but i want to flash roms lol. i was thinking maybe it was a2sd? flashing any rom causes a boot loop. its weird. i RUU'd once but now the program doesnt see my phone and it wont boot into Hboot. Comp see phone and Fresh Kitchen see the phone oh and cmd promp too so idk about that either.
i also dont know where the recovery image is stored on the phone it self.
so if any one can help with these things ty.
format c:, that should take care of your boot loop problem.
Don't do what the guy said... you'll screw your Windows install. First, just don't use a2sd until you can get everything sorted out.

Stock will be just fine.
I backed up and reformatted my SD card but when I get back to my laptop the SD backup was deleted by my son (too big for recycle bin and permanently deleted). Stuck in boot loop (TTG 0.1.5) and cannot flash zip anything from sdcard ("can't open /sdcard/*name that rom*.zip"). Adb shell wont recognize device.
All my nandroid images were on that backup that is now gone. I can back up and restore now, but it's all my boot loop.
Thanks in advance for your help and restraint with flame outs.

I don't think you can load just anyones Nandroid image, has to come from your phone...from what I have read at least.
Should probably just run RUU and go from there with the Pre-Kitchen.

that's weird that you cant flash anything from the sdcard, check and make sure its fat32, make sure you wipe before you try to flash, if not ur gonna have to use RUU.
if you do ruu make sure htc sync is installed and you are in bootloader mode... turn phone off then hold vol down and power. then start the ruu.
p.s. you can restore ANY sprint hero nandroid backup with minimal problems/side effects.. i've done it a more than a few times with no problems

Tried it. No luck. But you can use anothers nandroid image. Theres got to be someone who has one or is willing to go back to stock, back up, and then resume as before. It only takes a minute.

If you need a stock Nandroid image I have one...keep it just in case I need to revert that far back.
If you want it, I'll zip it up and post it at http://www.darktremor.com. Let me know.

does your backup have spaces in the name??? if not... is your battery low??? if all else fails... make sure it is the only file in your nandroid backup folder... do it in that order... one of those should fix your problem

Gosh... it's TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO!
Plug your phone in to the PC while it's in recovery mode.
Open adb.exe shell
type ./nandroid-mobile.sh --help
And type the things to restore, you should get a error message like "out of space" or something.
What roms?
DC to 3D, 3D= Mix of a lot of roms.
What carrier?
Sprint
But it is FOR SURE not bricked right? if it is going into recovery mode?

Not sure where the .zip is to flash the entire system..in fact, I don't think that was officially released yet. If you managed to get Clockworkdmod installed, I know there is a system image you can flash in the Dev section here.
Or If I have a nandroid back up how can I get that on m y phone to run that? I have it on the SD part of my card but doest show in the back up and restore file

Were you on an aosp or sense rom? (I'm guessing sense)
Are you rooted? Did you wipe the entire rom from your phone?
Have you tried ruu'ing or flashing a rom?

Well when it goes into the master screen.... where you wipe data, it has a name, teamwin..... anyway, I have not flashed it, but was trying to. Thing is, after I wiped, I could not figure out how to get the new rom installed. I wiped everything I have an SD card but having problems with loading anything off the sd card to install ROM, plus I am not even sure the ROM I have works being I downloaded it off the net.

What rom are you trying to flash?
If everything is already wiped, all you need to do is install a rom for the evo shift (go have a look in the dev section) and everything should be swell again?
Are you having problems mounting your sd card onto your computer?

Actually, there is no guide there as to the flashing part, unzipped file to SD card.... but not sure what to do now. Placed it in the phone.... and went to I guess it would be called root menu where you install and what-not.... But like I said, no real guide to the flash itself. The origanal idea was to get it on boost mobile network, but ##3282# was not working which led me to this point. Maybe you know a better guide for the flash??

to flash the rom you don't unzip it.
Leave it as a zip and install it from your recovery by selecting it in your recovery

It's a long alpha-numeric number that is associated with the file. Next time you download a rom look for it on the download page. When you down load a file the md5sum should match the original indicating a good download. There are apps that check the md5 and most file managers will show it in properties

If you've done the factory reset and that doesn't get you out I'm guessing the rom you flashed was a bad download. You made a nandroid backup before you flashed the rom, right. Boot back into recovery and restore it. Then re download the rom and try it again

Live and learn, I was afraid of that. You're probably going to have to use Odin then which will return you back to stock. And then start everything over again. Have you let the boot loop go for like 5 minutes. Sometimes it can take that long on first boot, but the vibration isn't normal.

Try flashing it again then. Do all the wipes first then flash it and then flash gapps. Did you flash the gapps package? I'm not sure what rom you're trying to flash but it probably requires gapps too.

gapps isn't on my phone so i cant flash it. i've flash it about ten times now and it won't work. it must be a bad download even though i flashed it before. after i flash the rom, it shows the boot animation of the rom i had been using before. werid huh? the only option i have now is to buy a micro sd card and put the rom on that and flash it that way. i really don't want to use odin.
