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?

HA! i knew it
no problem anytime
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.

But then i accidentally hit the camera button while tryin to remove it from the home screen, it poped up the camera, Said "Updating PRL", force closed like 4 programs, then rebotted it self. Since then, no service. Contacted sprint (Did'nt tell them it was rooted) but they did a few master resets, troubleshooting here and there. still nothing
note: did wipe/factory reset twice and reinstalled toast, didnt work
note: also wiped, then restored my nanoid back up. also didnt work
anyone know how to help me out? would prefer not to have to go to the sprint store then they find out its rooted >.>

+1, RUU back will usually fix any crazy abnormalities. This will unroot your phone too, so if you do need to bring it to sprint, it will be back to complete unrooted factory
Yeah man go ahead and ruu. Or flash fresh 2.0d first and see if that fixes it. His Rom includes a pri fix
sounds like a plan lol.
mind providing the link to RUU? I've never done it before

I would say to do a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, data, and reset to factory setting) and reflash the rom & kernel combo of your choice. Also update your radios to the latest and then update your profile under menu\settings\system updates. This should get the phone up and running better and stop the need for constant reboots. As for the widgets saying "problem loading", I get that as well and I think it is due to moving the widgets in question to your sd card. If you put them back on the internal memory of the phone that shouldnt happen anymore. If you are worried about taking up to much internal memory with widgets just set up the aps2sd and you will be able to put more of your apps on the partioned portion of your sd card and save more internal memory. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps. I would like to save your EVO and not make it a chew toy for anyone!
I agree with adam, try a complete wipe, even flash calkulin's format all.zip (search for it) and flash the latest radios and re flash cyanogen. You'd be amazed at what horrors can come from not wiping the dalvik and cache. Speaking of which, try out amon ra recovery if you already haven't.
Sent from my hand.
I agree with Adam1422. It sounds like you need to do a full wipe and clean install. Do not use Titanium/Launcher/ADW/anyotherprogram backups. Save files like pictures, music, documents off your SD and format the card. Do not reuse settings or data from programs. Go into it like you just bought the phone. That will probably clear up all of your issues.

Not if you do your due diligence, read up on how to do it and then perform the steps carefully without rushing. We were all n00bs once, my friend. Sure there's some tension when rooting for the first time, but there's one hell of a rush when it works. You'll be fine.

Not that I can think of, man. Good luck. Come back if you need help.
you are in the right forum to fix your phone...
it is not the phone.. but I agree with others.. you need a fresh setup done.
or even try a different ROM...
the hard part has been done for you.. ROOTing...
you need to go learn about the ROM you like... and how to install it.
learn about: wipe, recovery, nandroid backup, ROM, ...
this needs to be learned anyways for your life with EVO, because you wanted it rooted.
ps.. to fix this.. you are going to loose all your data and put your phone almost back to stock form. dont worry.. contacts and calendar should be backed up to google if you told evo to do so.

Where can i direction to do the procedure?? whats the first step??
here is a good place to start reading:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html
I would like for you to try a new ROM... that is Sense ... so that you are able to use it more to what the EVO was.
this ROM is stable and has everything working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471
once you have done one Flashing of a ROM.. and working..
you can easily do others as you find interest in them.
more side reading for afterwards:
there is the rooting procedure that I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
since you are already rooted.. this not needed.
but you should read the first page.. for your knowledge
here is the main forum for evo on xda.. for development. lots for you to research on new things for evo:

Definitely make sure before you go flashing ROMs and stuff you do a nandroid backup.
Step-by-step instructions for how to do this, plus flash ROMs and stuff, can be found here:
http://htcevorooting.x10.mx/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
Ask your friend what method he used to root your phone, plus check which recovery manager you're using (reboot your phone into recovery, it should say which manager it is. If you're still running CyanogenMod there should be an option to do this if you choose reboot instead of shutdown when holding the power button.)

Yes a new rom should fix the problem!!
Or a reboot will fix the problem too!!

Ok so try and go into recovery!!
Hold home button while booting and you should
see a list of options. use the volume key to find your way.
Go to wipe cache and click yes.
then go to wipe data and click yes.
then go to advance and wipe dalvik cache and click yes.
go back using power button and reboot!!!
That shuld solve the problem!!!
