I was running GorillaSense 2.3 and decided to give CM 7 RC1 a try. When I flashed it and then rebooted, I went into a bootloop so I tried doing a nandroid restore of the backup I did prior to flashing CM 7 and I got this error:
Erasing boot before restore...
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"
Error while formating BOOT:!
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5.
The only thing I can think of that I did out of the "norm" was replace the host file in the system to block ads.
Does anybody know how to solve this? I am unable to use my phone at the moment...
I am able to go into Advanced Restore and retore system, data, and cache. When I try to restore boot I get the message I wrote above.
Clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 works only with gingerbread roms. Any Frito roms need 2.1.5.2. I had this problem going from gorilla hd sense to cm7 as well. Flash a new clockworkmod or a gingerbread rom or evils miui

I wiped data and cache. Then Flashed this ROM Evil's HD port- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878320
I am still getting boot loops.
Evil's MIUI requires 2.1.5.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874257
Note - before wiped and flashed, I had gone into advance restore and restored, system, data and cache from my prior nandroid backup.
Hopefully that didn't screw things up. I don't have access to download the GorillaSense v2.3 that I had used before to see if flashing that would work since I am at work and it's blocked. I'm going to try that next, once I get home.
Which Clockworkmod version would I need for CM 7 RC1? Would v3.0.0.6 work?
Success!
Flashing recovery 3.0.0.6 did the trick! I flashed CM 7 RC1 and I don't get boot loops anymore. Thank you for your help.
I turned off the phone and booted back into recovery to make a nandroid backup after this successful flash. Then I flashed the google apps that come along with CM 7 and I'm stuck with the boot loop again...
I have restored the nandroid back, same bootloop, and wiped data & cache, flashed CM 7 only like the first time, and I still get the bootloop. This is so weird that it only worked the first time.
The first time it didn't boot loop I was left at the "desktop" screen. Now, when I boot loop, I get to the 'Welcome to HTC Glacier ( with the android you touch ) screen, only for like a second or two and then it loops.
Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking maybe I need to flash a new boot.img or something.
------------------------------
Ok, I flashed GorillaSense v2.3 which is what I was using initially. It works fine. No boot loops. I want to use CM 7 though! lol

I will try to cover any info you might need. I am using windows 7, my phone had 1.5 originally 1.47 hboot. I got the 2.1 official ota.
On monday, I rooted using the pb00img.zip, loaded amon-ra 1.6.2, did factory/data wipe, dalvik wipe, flashed kaos v20, boot looped, tried v.19 with full and dalvik wipe, same.
I have tried all version of kaos from 19-23, evileris 3, celb, cyanogenmod 6. All have the same boot loop, I have done the following:
Reloaded the pb file
Reloaded amon-ra
Have tried manually wiping data and dalvik using adb shell
I have formatted my sd card through windows
I have partitioned my card through amon-ra
Here is a pastebin of my bootup.
http://pastebin.com/SMhKDYZq
The phone starts up with the 3 skateboarding droids, sits there for a bit, screen goes black, i get a little vibrate, then the 3 skaters come back, rinse and repeat.
I have dont have apps2sd, or setcpu. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Did you ever create a nand backup? If so, go back to it first and verify you don't have a hardware issue.
If you don't have a backup, search this forum for the Eris RUU and I'd go back to that and root using the newest method...basically start over from a working phone.
I do have a nand backup, I have been restoring when i leave work because my phone has to be working. It works fine with the OTA 2.1 that i had just rooted...
have you tried doing full data wipe/dalvik wipe after flashing a rom when i first installed roms i didn't wipe anything for 2 or 3 roms but they all seemed to flash over eachother. but then i couldn't flash anything and i thought somehow i broke something. but then i just did a full wipe after a flash and started up like it should have. took a while the first boot but ever since then i haven't run into any issues

I had this same issue last night, though I kept repeating the Nexus-style boot screen (the "X" thing) over and over. I did a full data/dalvik wipe and everything came up just fine. I had this experience with two different CyanogenMod ports.
I was running CM6.1.1, did a backup using Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.x.x. Updated CW recovery to 3.0.0.5, then flashed GingerVillain 1.5. Decided it wasn't for me, so I wiped and then restored my CM6.1.1 image. Restore completes okay, reboot and now I'm stuck at the HTC screen. Also tried wiping and restarting, still stuck.
Is CWM 3.0 not capable of restoring Froyo roms? Do I need to reflash 2.5.x.x, then restore my CM6.1.1?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for being so quick to make a thread. Reflash of Clockworkmod 2.5.1.3 allowed me to restore and boot my backup. Problem solved.
I rooted my phone yesterday with the help of the folks in the chat room.
Everything went smoothly. I had Clockwork 3.0.0.5. I tried to install Royal Liquid rom but it got stuck on the splash screen. Then I read about the problem with 3.0.0.5.
I have since download and attempted to install CM7, evil-4G-HD, Royal Glacier, and a few other roms but they all get stuck on splash screen. Before I install each rom, I wiped data, cache, and delvik, and formatted boot, system, and SD card.
I can get into recovery fine, but I keep getting stuck at splash screen. I have left the thing boot for 10 minutes and nothing.
Is it possible to install Clockwork 3.0.0.6 or higher (3.0.1.4) through Clockwork Recovery since I can't get into a rom and into Rom Manager.
Any suggestions?
Ok. Finally solved it at 4:41 am!!! Downloaded Royal Ginger, went through the motions, and finally got pasted the boot screen. Downloaded Rom Manager and updated Clockwork to 3.0.0.6. And now I'm in Royal Liquid!!! Can't wait to go flash crazy.
Download 3.0.0.6 from dev section and install via recovery. Then wipe data/cache, boot, system, and davlik and try again.

Hello!
I was on the HKTW build as of yesterday. I have Tenfar's recovery and CWM installed too.
I attempted to install Kennith Penn's Alien Rom V2 and it seems like its flashing no problem... However, I get stuck in a boot loop.
I tried restoring to a previous back up , and that loops now too
So, I attempted to flash 2.3.4 Fruit cakes ( http://www.multiupload.com/U1EOJVAKPO ) and it seems that it is flashing it properly, because I got back my stock "AT&T" boot logo (from the factory) but, that goes into a boot loop too...
Can anyone please help point me in the correct direction of getting my device to boot the rom/ image properly? Is there a setting I need to ensure is checked on CWM (like mounts or something?) ... at this point, I cant even boot into Tenfars recovery... just CWM...
This sucks!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Bootloops in 99.9% cases means that you need to wipe.
1. Go back into CWM, wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
2. Flash the desired rom.
3. Go into CWM again and do all the wipes again.
And you should boot no probs.
p.s. these 3 steps should your blue print to installing any rom btw. even you want to backup apps - use TB.
thank you for your help....ive actually dome all of that and still no go

Have you tried wiping via fastboot?
moto-fastboot -w
p.s. do you have the latest CWM recovery? there can be problems if you arent using the latest one.

+1. i was having the same problem not too long ago and that fixed my problem.
I recently rooted and attempted to flash a rom to my evo. I have tried both clockwork and RA 2.3 currently. I flashed the stock rooted rom as well as synergy. I keep getting the bootloader evertime I reboot.
I flashed the rom with RA it says that it was successful, but I keep getting the bootloader. Did I change a setting in the boot loader and miss it? I have also tried booting the phone without the sd card in the phone.
I also tried wiping the
-Data
-Cache
-Dalvik Cache
-.android_secure
-System
3x each and then reflashed
Any help is appreciated sorry if I rambled but Im trying to include any important information.

Wipe boot, system, cache, data, dalvik, and then flash. I did this and I got no issues. Just be sure to use a proper nandroid backup to restore too. I used twrp as my default recovery and RA as my secondary for when I wanted to wipe boot if I was having issues (I kept getting bootloops) so I say try that and report back here.
My phone went dead last night so Ill leave it to charge all day and try it again, I had previously tried wiping all 5 that I had listed in the op 3 times and then flashed. I will try it again this afternoon.
Just a thought, you may want to reflash your recovery
so I DL the image from forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7889836&postcount=18 and then DL the cyanogen rom. I followed the same steps as I had multiple done multiple times and explained above but this time it worked.
Maybe it was the RA version I was using, not real sure.
I appreciate the help again.
I have my recovery become corrupt twice since I got this phone in February.
Reflashing Recovery fixed it both times
