Hey guys, first time poster long time lurker here lol, Anyways, today I rooted my EVO via the new Unrevoked version, everything went smooth, flashed Cyanogen from Rom Manager, all was good but I noticed maps/market were missing. I started messing with the phone to the point where is now sitting on the white htc evo 4g loader screen, and it wont go past that.
I have access to the hboot screen but aside from that that's it. I've tried pretty much all the options in recovery mode to no avail. I believe my problem is that I deleted the OS and my phone has nothing to boot to.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Some info about the phone:
Hardware version 0003
2.15.00.11.19
3.70.651.1
Have you tried re-flashing the ROM? Or a different one? Or re-downloading the same one to make sure it didn't get corrupted? Have you done a full wipe (cache and data)?
If you can get into recovery, it usually is possible to get back in business somehow.
Try getting into recovery from the hboot screen. Then wipe everything twice and then reflash your rom.
Default
wiped everything and rom keeps giving me "intallation aborted"
here's what it says:
Copying files...
E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/zcip
E: Failure at line 64
symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/zcip
Installation aborted.
Lolwut... You shoukd be doing it in recovery...
I was doing it in the ClockwordMod Recovery, but now it wont even let me go into recovery, I just get a phone with a red triangle
im also an android noob and was in your same boat...this is what i did. i downloaded an ruu that was stock but left the root open. its a program that u can run on your pc that will program a stock rom to ur fone...i went into recovery on the fone, hit the fast boot option, connected the fone to the pc and the pc picked it up as "my htc". at that point i ran the ruu and that booted my fone into a stock rom. after that i reinstalled clockworkmod and uploaded a backup i had made w it...now im good..hope this helps
i think this is what i have to do.. im on the same problem and also a noob at this.. i have been banging my head to my desk all night lost out on major sleep.. lol this has to help.. any 1 have the link to the RUU stock?? thx in advance.. and are there any diff tips for linux ubuntu users??

I unlocked the bootloader, then I flashed the recovery image and everything was alright. When I tried to flash CyanogenMod 5.0 it aborted halfway, and when I went to reboot all that I am getting is the start up image and that's it.
I tried factory reset, wiping the memory through the recovery image and nothing is happening.
If anybody has any ideas, please share.
bricked.=p
If your getting into the Recovery, it sounds pretty impossible you bricked it. Even dieing half way through Cyan's Rom shouldnt be a major issue. I think i read that dieing during a radio update can cause problems(or SPL), but a rom shouldnt
Try this again...
1) Boot into Recovery. Bootloader - > Recovery
2) Wipe the phone
3) Flash Cyan's Rom
4) Restart
5) If it works, re-boot into the recovery and make a NandBackup....
can you boot into bootloader? if so theres no way youre bricked.
I can't flash anything, it keeps coming up installation aborted.
BIG BREAKTHROUGH!!
I was finally able to install Cyan and now it says installation complete.
Now what?
Thanks for the help guys, I reloaded Cyan's mod for the tenth time and it finally installed and it works like a dream.
The only problem is I don't have the 3G on my top bar, just an H. What does that mean?
H is a good thing. Just showing you are on the fastest network. Glad to hear you are working now
Sean-
I really appreciate the help, I was ready to just give up. Thanks again buddy.

I tried to use SuperOneClick to root my phone and it seemed to work. The program came back saying I successfully rooted my phone.
I then went to ClockworkMod to install cyanogen and clicked on the appropriate boxes to begin the download process for cyanogen 6.0 stable mod and ran it.
My phone rebooted and started to run some scripts.
Now, the phone just reboots to the green mytouch screen and continues to loop like that and I have no idea what to do.
I can get into fastboot on the mt3g and when I do, my pc makes the sound that states that the phone is connected but when I try to get into the mytouch, using adb, my pc cant access it but when I plug up my G2, I can see the serial number and such showing that it is connected.
I tried to follow the fastboot driver installation page but it didn't seem to work.
Bottom line is I would really enjoy a functional MT3G in either the regular form or cyanogen (which is why im in this predicament now )
For the the record,
I was running 1.6 but got the OTA update for 2.2 before I ended up blowing up my phone.
Thanks for reading this and any aid would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATED:
I found something called SAPPIMG.NBH that allowed me load Android 1.5 onto my phone. I now am back to a functioning device but still, I am super stuck on trying to get cyanogen onto my device. Any helpful hints? From what you read above, did I miss something?
Thanks again.
... Sadness... I have been bashing my face against this mt3g and haven't been able to get cyanogenmod on this phone for the life of me. I have tried all of the builds from 5.08 up to RC1 of 6.10 and I just get the infinite loop at the cyanogen boot up screen. I even tried to flash 2.23.XXXX radio to see if it gets past the boot loop and it does not. Anybody have any insights into my issue?
Thanks,
You must go into recovery mode(boot up by holding down home + power). That will get you to Clockworkmod recovery(I am assuming since you said you downloaded using Clockwork app). From there you need to wipe cache, and anything else you can wipe. Then try installing Cyanogenmod after that. Without wiping the there is not enough space to install and it causes a bootloop.
I'm in the same boat, I'm stuck in a boot loop and I cannot get any ROM to fully load in. I'm using clockwork recovery Radio 2.22 32B.
I tried wiping everything but that still doesnt seem to work. I noticed when I try wiping Davlik cache I dont see any message on the bottom. I thought it would normally give me some sort of message stating that it is wiping davlik or something so maybe it isnt actually wiping it?
Is there some other way to make sure davlik is wiped? Or something else I can do. I just want the phone to boot up at this point. I can get into recovery but thats it.
I know I shouldve done a backup but dumb me was such in a rush I completely forgot, I know im a idiot...
Het I found that same .img file and also reverted back to 1.5 then just went up to 2.2 not sure what was wrong but Rom I put on just went into a boot loop. Maybe it was clockwork recovery.

The problem is that you cannot go directly to 2.2 from 1.5. You have to do the incremental upgrades that take you from 1.5 to 1.6 then 1.6 to 2.2
heres the story, i finally had rooted my phone last night with unrevoked3.3. i was running froyo on a 3 day old evo.i was following a thread explaining how to do this on this forum...very detailed, btw.i installed wireless tethering, went from clockwork to aman ra recovery ect. i had made a backup when i still has clockword. after i changed to aman ra and everything was good, i did another back up with aman ra and when the phone went to reboot it froze. i had a pc36img on the sd card bc i was reading tons of threads trying to figure out wtf happend, bc i couldnt boot back into the system, but i could boot into aman ra recovery. after tinkering all night now i can even boot into aman ra bc i had placed a pc36img file on the sd card and it updated something. all i get now is the red exclamation point when trying to go into recovery. ive also tried the ruu to revert back to stock, but i get error 170 cant locate usb...any ideas??? any feedback would be appreciated
i still have the clockwork recovery i had made btw, dont know if that helps
you just have to reinstall the recovery. there is a guide for rooting and its under there. the method I used is in my sig, but just follow the loading recovery part. And read his FAQs there is something stating that if you got the red exclamation then it shows you how to fix it.
ughhh, ive been doing some more reading and i cant find how to flash aman ra1.8.0 back on my phone w/o. i went into the menu and when the disk imagige comes out w the exclamation point i press vol up and power and it takes me to another screena dn asks for a update.zip. im guessing this would be the aman ra 1.8.0 but i cant find it in a zip file. i do have the aman ra 1.8.0, am i supposed to make a zip file with it?
You can flash it via rom manager in the app market.
follow the broken recovery in the first post here [ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - Don't Be a Hater Edition - Upd. 01.01.11 and you will be back on track
ok...so i flashed with the recovery thing. i can get into the recovery menu now!!!!! omg thanks guys!!
ok so i tried to load from a zip file 3.4.0.1 fresh rom. and it goes through almost the whole thing then it kicks back and doesnt finish. i also tried to use the ruu to go back to factory to start over, no luck ther either. it syas cant find usb.... ideas??....i have read tons of post and i know u guys are busy and youve probably answered these questions a million times, but i cant find the answers yet...
wow, i didnt think this was going to bite me in the a$$ like this lol. i might be a noob on android related things but thats definately not the case with other pc related things. i mean, i mod xboxes, wiis, mess with iphones, ect...u name it....yet here i am 24 hrs later its like rd 7 trying not to end up with a really expensive paperwight. my next step right now is to try and use the ruu to see if i could flash the fone to a factory rom....any of u guys wanna throw some logs onto this fire??
welllll, i got ruu to work and heres what i did. in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6855542&postcount=1 i read something about loading fastboot. i had already had removed the htc sync app from my pc. i enabled fastboot and on my pc the fone showed up as "my htc"...it never did that before...i tried running ruu and it worked!!! it flashed my fone to a stock froyo and im still with s-off. now i dont know whats different now, i guess ill find out soon...thanks to the quick responses from some of you! ill post back bc im going to try and install clockworkmod to see if i could load a backup that i did before converting it to amon ra.
as an end to my story, hopefully this can help other people....i rerooted using revoked3.3, i installed rom manager and clockworkmod again, and was able to restore the backup i had made with rom manager before changingi the restore to amon ra!!!!! all is back to normal, 4g is running, now, onto removing the bloatware.....sighhhhhh what a relief!
Hello all,
I recently switched to the Fascinate from the HTC Incredible. So far I have rooted and installed cwm. I got the Super Clean ROM and one of jt's voodoo kernels installed. The kernel was the 12/14 version from Rom Manager. Everything was going fine and I had finally gotten everything how I wanted it. Then I though oh how bout a theme now.
Apparently that wasn't the right thing to do. I download the zip and boot into red recovery to install. I make a nandroid backup and continue to install the zip. Upon installing the theme I reboot the device. Then it just boots into stock recovery. So I think oh no that's not good. I apply update.zip to get into cwm, but then green cwm pops up intead of red. Also an error also pops up saying E: can't open /cache/recover/log. At first I didn't really think anything of it so I continue to try to restore my backup I just made. No luck. So I try to reinstall the kernel and ROM I had downloaded. No luck. All I get is errors and I dont really know how to get back into red cwm.
Now I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching for solutions all day and I can't really find anything with my particular problem.
Which theme did you flash?
It was through rom manager. Something from blackhole. I don't remember exactly to be honest.
Ok I'm not sure if I made it better or worse. I took the sd card out and put it into my moto droid. I then created the disable_lagfix folder in the voodoo files. Then I put the card back in my phone. I tried flashing the stock DL09.tar through odin and now it is stuck in a loop. Samsung screen pops up then immediately runs a factory reset and does it all over again.
So i have a desire hd from Three, which is unlocked and unbranded, i rooted the phone via the visionary method, got s-off, used rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery which was 2.5.1 something rather, then i created a backup, upgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.1, tried to install the cyanogenmod 6.1.3 via rom manager but didnt work, so i downloaded the zip file manually and tried to update via clockwork mod recovery now in 3.0, restarted, and am now stuck at the main HTC screen. Pulled the battery, then went back into clockwork recovery, tried to recover the backup i made, rebooted, but still stuck on htc white screen... dont know what to do help!
You could try flashing a RUU to go back to stock 1.32 would be best or you would need to downgrade to root, or you could try getting another rom image on your SD card isnt clockwork 3 4 ginger bread nightlies?
Just throwing ideas out there. Personally I would go woth the RUU.
Thanks for the reply, i remember finding some links with ruu's but i'm not sure which one i need and how to use it ?
Sorry just thought the other thing is how long did you leave it. I have read about people leaving for 30 mins and then it boots..
Start downloading this. Its the RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
http://www.multiupload.com/N333WKVW6M
while downloading leave your phone to boot it might surprise you..
I left it for a while but maybe not long enough, perhaps 15 minutes at one point? i'll try again, should i wipe data in clockwork and then reflash the cyanogenmod again? is it ok to keep the phone plugged into the computer via usb?
Sorry, once downloaded just run the EXE, it will walk you through the steps.
The Dev section has a lot of useful stuff in it for this sort of thing the 1st post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214 is pretty usefull.

Worth a go whilst downloading, I would wipe 1st. Its good you still have your recovey partition (clockwork) so you should be fine. Use the RUU as the last resort as it will wipe recovery part and loose SOFF etc.. But should fix the phone.
Right so i've wiped data/factory reset and cache partition and dalvik cache, then went to choose zip from sd, chose update-cm-6.1.3-DesireHD-signed.zip, says Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.2-desireHD (strange?) completed. Now went to Reboot system now and waiting, still on HTC screen.
is it possible to put another rom on the sd card? i dont have a computer that i can plug the mini sd into, possible in recovery mode?

yes, but i dont know how of the top of my head, i will have a look in the dev forums, i think you use fastboot and u can push files. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will see this post soon. I will have a look though.
so its been 30 minutes, and it's still at the htc screen... what should i do? should i try the RUU ? i dont want to brick my phone...
from what i can find fastboot will not push files, adb but may not connect on splash screen. You could just try pulling the battery and leaving it again to boot for a bit, mine has hung before like that. The Ruu should go through and connect to phone and go through flashing. Do you have another phone that could take the SD card? im gonna boot my phone to recovery and try to push a rom to it or file.
ok i am reading this post,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558812
what i would do is goto recovery mode,
he command is:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push c:\******.*** /sdcard
exemple with g:\update.zip :
adb push g:\update.zip /sdcard
usefull when wrong rom flashed and no sdcard reader ^^
So i downloaded a cyanogenmod 7 nightly build, installed with with clockwork 3.0.0.5, and it worked, booted in, but had a continuous logo loop, going to try leedroid
Good luck, Leedroid rocks, thats what i use. I would say if it is still looping try the ruu and then start again. The RUU will esentially factory reset.
Installed the latest Cyanogen nightly build #23, and it works perfectly now should i keep it? or should i try leedroid? i kind of want to keep using htc sense, as i have all my contacts on it..
Up to you really. I went back to leedroid because it seems faster and more stable for me and I like some of the sense widgets.
