I followed this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045) and got all the way through, but when I restart the phone I get the phone symbol with the red exclamation point. power off and back on and it's just the sprint logo in an endless loop.
Phone is a 2 day old EVO, hardware version 4. Can I recover back to how it came from Sprint or get an OS to work on it?
Ok, copied the PC36IMG back to the phone and reinstalled it... now i've got version 2.1 update 1 of Android on my phone... can I update it to 2.2 OTA?
Used the latest RUU from sprint to fix it... gonna leave the phone alone from now on. I'll check up to see if a stable root method comes out for this phone. Seems like this current generation is a little more work to root.

Ok on a non rooted T-Mobile N1
followed instructions
flashed froyo from SD card, phone boots
after a while the animated N1 logo froze
gave it some time
pulled battery, nothing was happening ( I know probably my first error)
reflashed the update, crashed again
went back into recovery, did a factory reset, never went past static N1 logo
tried flashing update again, so far still stuck on the static logo
What am I doing wrong here????
At the bare minimum what can I do to go back to original?
Realized another thing, had the USB cord connected when it won't get past the static log
Re flashed the update without the cord connected, it is now again going through the animated boot up
Hope this does it
*edit* Nope, animated boot up stopped again, going to let it go for a while
Still can't get this phone to boot
Anyone have a link to flash back to 2.1 update1????
have you tried another image like Cyanogen 5.0.6 or sometihing else ?
I'm not rooted
Trying to do this without rooting for now, will consider rooting if I can't somehow flash back to stock Update1
At this point what I think I'm going to do is reflash to 2.1
Does anyone have a link to 2.1 for download?
Or what would be the best way to go back to 2.1 on a non rooted phone?
After flashing Paul's froyo update, mine was stuck at the animated X logo for about 5-7 minutes for the first time, so maybe you also should try waiting at that animation.

So, I got my new replacement EVO after loosing my first one.
So, first thing I wanted to do was get it rooted.
This time I wanted to try the unrevoked method. I did the other method before and had some issues, but it worked out in the end.
So, I got all the files I needed. And started my process.
I ran the reflash_package.exe and at the end it said this was a triumph...
So, I went and tried to go to recovery mode so I can run the unrevoked_forever.zip. However, I just got a fail. Didn't work.
So, I said, whatever, same issue I had before, let me just do the old fashioned manual way. Got all my files and went and did everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
Followed that method, which worked for me before.. everything was going well, until the PC36IMG.zip update. First
Hboot 2.02
S- is still on S-On
Bootloaded - Bypassed
Radio_v2 - Failed PU
Everything else OK
I also get 5 vibrates when it tries to update the Radio.
When I try to boot to recovery, I get the red triangle...
When I try to boot normally, I am stuck on the white HTC EVO 4G screen.
Cant do adb shell or anything.
I have already tried to take the card out, put it in a reader, reformat it, replace the PC36IMG.zip, same.
Now the phone is stuck and unusable. What do to? I am unfortunately, out of town for the moment. Stuck in Chicago with no phone.
Anyone please have any ideas how to get out of this loop?
Okay, so more digging and I finally was able to get myself out of the hole I dugmyself into.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Saved my butt. Just rebooted into recovery and let it stand at the red triangle and continued from step 10.
So, S-Off now.. and flashing to Calkulin's as I type...
I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone, but heres my story. I traded my bb 9800 torch with a friend of mines who went out of the country. When I got it, the phone was already rooted running an Ice glacier rom. I think this is where I made my mistake. I didn't know excactly how to remove roms, so I thought I could do it from the phone. So I booted into recovery mode, and clicked format, SYSTEM, DATA. Ever since then, it only boots to the Tmobile mytouch 4g logo and stays there. I tried to look up a fix, but my Windows XP PC wont recognize the phone, so I'm stuck there aswell. I'm stuck using a moto cliq atm, but if anyone can help, please do! Thanks,and Ihope its in the right section.

Pull the battery out of the phone, then put the battery back into the phone.
Turn the phone on and hold the volume down rocker, and the power button at the same time, that will boot you into HBoot.
Once you are there you will see an option for "recovery", select it. At the top you will see a number (given your buddy flashed a recovery image). If you see something to the degree of Clockwork Mod Recovery manger 2.x.x.x you can flash any 2.2 ROM from the development section. IF he flashed 3.0.0.5 you will need to flash Cyanogen Mod 7. IF he flashed 3.0.0.6 you can take your pick.
If you do not have a recovery image and only thing that comes up in a Tri-Angle with a "!" then you need to do the PD15IMG method. Which can be found here
Hope that helps point you in the right direction. Being that your phone is already Rooted please read, read, read, and read some more prior to doing anything that you are in question about. It's pretty hard to brick a phone.
And by the way... that little cliq not a bad phone... i just updated my old one to a new ROM.. for a standby... just in case type deal.
Your post helped thanks. I got a memory card reader and downloaded the stock rom to it.
1. When running the 4.1.57 update I noticed that the phone sat at the red M logo forever. Even after pulling the battery and restarting it took a great deal of time. Is this common on the Atrix?
2. Are there any current solutions for rooting/sideload of 4.1.57 without having to flash back to a previous version? If not is there any in the works?
I want to root my phone but I've already gotten stuck in RSD mode once and had to send back the phone and that was unrooted. I just don't want to take a chance in downrevving the OS only to have it RSD of death me again.

1. No that is not normal. You may have to reflash 1.5.7 sbf.
2. Search for easyroot for 1.5.7 using gingerbreak.
I've noticed that anytime I flash an SBF the first boot takes quite a while... but after that everything speeds up considerably.
Everything is working great now. Thanks for the advice.
I know you guys have seen this over, and over. 1st post from a noob.
I've been through the forum since lunchtime, using the search function, but I just cant make the damn thing fire up.
I rooted it with AAHK, worked brilliantly, then I put the ICS ROM onto it, worked fine apart from the camera, which I was expecting, but after trying numerous camera apps, I couldn't get it to work, SO
I re ran AAHK to put Froyo back onto it, from where I could take the HTC system update and reinstall Gingerbread while I waited for further developments for the camera.
Phone was nicely plugged in and AAHK was running away, but the doorbell rang, I got up to answer it and my daughter saw my phone and decided to play Angry Birds. Unplugging the phone.
She got angry Daddy instead.
I can boot into recovery mode (which is something I guess) but how do I get it back up and running.
On the recovery screen I have the following text:-
ACE PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26. 03.02.26_M
Apr 12 2011, 00.55.45
Then the instructions for selecting, then the menu. Recovery gives me the red triangle, reset takes me to the HTC screen, then a green circley thing, then HTC, then ....
I tried running an RUU install, but my computer doesnt recognise the phone and I can't make that work either.
AM I looking at it meeting with a 'terrible accident' or is it recoverable?
SD card was wiped. My bad there.
It seems that fortune favours the brave. Seems I'm uploading a RUU now. I ought to be able to get some sleep soon.
Well It's great that you managed to get it going again. On a side note, before this mess happened, if you wanted something more stable, you should have just flashed another ROM, maybe something with gingerbread. Cyanogenmod is a great rom to get into root stuff too.
I'm not sure what you mean by rerunning AAHK? AAHK does allow you to remove root if you're on a supported stock rom. but I don't recall it being able to put you back onto a stock rom from another ROM. You would have to apply an update package from HTC (making you lose root and most of you're info too).
BTW, that screen which you call recovery is actually the bootloader screen, from there you can choose what you want to boot into.
Unfortunately I don't really know how to help you from here, there's only so far I can go on the technical side before I FC and reboot. Other then telling you where you went wrong (and probably know by now), I can't tell you how to go right. Woot woot for constructive criticism. :victory:
For your first post, try downloading the htc drivers (htc sync) to your computer.
Second post: uploading?

your computer wont be able to recognize ur phone whatever u do...U will have to install the RUU (PD98IMG) from fastboot (Make sure not to flash a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with gingerbread).. i am sure u knw how to flash the RUU using PD98IMG from fastboot, just do it and everything will be fine and u will return to stock and u will also loose root,so u will have to root it again.
I re rooted it, as I am, as we all know, a noob, I thought that would put Froyo back on it, (Like I did when I rooted it first) and then I could simply take it on over to Gingerbread with the system update tool.
Ultimately, the bootloader worked, and I now have a fully working phone.
Thanks to you all for your replies, you're making a man whois old enough to know better understand a little more with each one.
Oh yeah, I could get into the bootloader screen by turning power on and holding the VOL - button. When I pressed power on and help the VOL + button, it buzzed 4 times, and the orange notification light just flashed, nothing else.
Doesn't really matter, it works, it's back to how it was, and I know where I went wrong, ish.
although the issue is resolved, must important thing when something goes wrong: Don't panic! (Hitchikers Guide refrence there
Happened to me when I rooted my friends inspire 4G (he saw that AAHK says it was done on the phone and decided to unplug it straight away) just come the the forums
It's always the forums....
