So I've been using amon ra since I got my evo then about 2 weeks ago when CM7 nightlies came out I flashed clockwork 3.0.0.5 so I could get notifications and update though ROM Manger. Today I backed up my sdcard and went to format my card through clockwork and it failed and said it couldn't do it. I figured alright lemme just boot into android and do it, so I hit reboot and it vibrates 5 times and sits there with a black screen and a flashing green light. I've searched around and found people with rooted/modded and unrooted/stock phones that are having the same issue with no resolution. Strange thing is that my evo is now S-ON even though I was flashed with unrevoked forever with S-OFF. I also can't boot in to recovery. Here are my problems and what I have tried so far..
1. Used fastboot to flash everything I can think of, but always get some kind of error.
2. After many many attempts I was able to flash the latest official PC36IMG.zip. Sometimes it boots and sometimes it won't. When it does boot it shuts off and gives the 5 vibrates. It also will not see the microSD card when booted up.
3. Tried different microSD card and battery.
4. Tried to use unrevoked, but adb is not working.
5. When booted up it also lists 3 "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" entries in device manager with exclimations.
4. Any suggestions anyone may have?
I've only had my phone for about two months and I bought it new off ebay. If I can't get it working I'm at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
EDIT: I was able to get android to see the sd card by doing the fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243, but it still reboots.
Clockwork is not bad, but it isn't the best. I used amon ra for a year on my hero and I never had one issue. I have an epic now (just bought an evo on ebay ), and clockwork is always a hassel for me. If I were you, download the new amon ra recovery image. You can go into rom manager and select "flash alternate recovery". It will automatically switch you over. Or remove root and re root the phone.

I'm running the stock rom with S-ON and no root. Android will not even stay up long enough to use temporary root from z4root and flash another recovery.
Seems to be happening a lot lately with the new CM7 build.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10744115&postcount=11
Are they trying to incorporate some sort of epst app in it now? Thats strange a rom would mess with the bootloader but for it to do it on an evo and an incredible?

If its unrooted with s-on then have you considered going to a sprint store and having it replaced? With TEP its free, without it, its $35-

No not z4 lol. You need a recovery image to back up the phone, flash new roms, etc.
Unless I have no idea what you're talking about. I miss amon ra, and that will be the first thing I put on my evo lol.

After 16 hours of trying to recover the phone I finally caved and went to the sprint store. I paid the $35 got real lucky since sprint had no refurbished evos at the warehouse so they gave me a new one there an then. Number one rule..
DON'T USE CLOCKWORK!
Clockwork 3.0.0.5 was the common factor in all cases I found.
EDIT: Also if your using a custom rom with customer recovery like amon ra I would leave S-ON. This way a flashable zip can't modify and corrupt your NAND partitions.
So.. After owning this phone for a year, I still love it to death..
But after many roms and such its been kinda slowing down on me..
what I would like to do, because I heard it helps a lot, is to revert back to the original software, then put a rom on fresh..
I'm running Synergy Rom now.. And it just locked on me.. It keeps rebooting, so I figure now is the time I do this..
Questions..
I will no have to lose my root? right?
How do I do this now? I'm using clockwork and assume I put the original rom(or zip?) on my sdcard, then go into recovery, and run it?
Correct?
I also ran a script file (v6supercharged)
I assume I will have to redo that as well?
Thanks guys!!
Have no phone right now, so would like to get started asap..
Again!! MUCH THANKS!!
As long as you fully wipe using Amon Ra, you should be able to make most updated ROMs run fast on your phone. Perhaps try reflashing Synergy. I also recommend flashing a new ROM, but reinstalling apps without data. Perhaps that is contributing to the sluggishness.

Thanks.. But I've been told over and over, its sometimes good to revert back to stock..
Wipe/clear, Install stock rom (or its an .exe. or something?) then wipe/clear again, and put the rom on..
Anyone have the stock file??
Do I let it update or no ??

That's ridiculous. A wipe is a wipe.
In fact, using the RUU (.exe) is riskier since it flashes radios and such, and if something goes wrong during, you have a bricked phone. Just do a full wipe including cache/dalvik cache and install your ROM of choice, along with a good kernel.

If you rooted with unrevoked or revolutionary, you will need this file to return to stock, and yes, you will temporarily lose root.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/Un....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.zip
Change the name to PC36IMG and run it from the root of your SD card through the bootloader. You will lose your root, but your security flag should still be off (S-OFF) so that you can quickly regain root after running this file, after changing it to PC36IMG in place of the first one. (It is Amon-RA and not clockwork. You can reflash clockwork later if you want, which I don't recommend.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/Root 2.3.3/PC36IMG3.08.zip
Also, you might need to flash a superuser app, in case you need root inside the stock ROM. Here is an old one, but it should still work for you.

Like the previous users said, it's probably not necessary, but I'm just giving you what you asked for.
hmmm.. so now its not necessary ? I was always under that impression..
Ok..
Anyone know what the new HOT rom is ??
Gigerbread please ?
Like I said I was using Synergy..
Used Fresh before and a couple others..
whats the hot rom ??
FYI I also partitioned my SD card, or whatever its called.. For the gigerbread thing..
Put MikG 3.0 on it and call it done. Rock solid ROM, great battery life, and awesome tweaks built in. It will be like an all new phone. Enjoy

3. Download + Rename to "PC36IMG.zip" on SDCARD + (Boot into Recovery +Install) "GB v4.54.651.1.ZIP" http://db.tt/Ck6AB18E
If you want non Stock Recovery + Rooted:
1. Rename your "(AmonRa Recovery v3.11-gnm) PC36IMG.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" again. (Boot into Recovery +Install). (cus Stock Rom changed you to STOCK Recovery)
2. (Boot into Recovery + Install) "Root (Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).zip" www.mediafire.com/?16a07x3800wvak6
No need to revert to stock.
Use vr superwipe
Save the contents of your sd card to a computer, then reformat the sd card
Wipe everything on the wipe menu, then flash a new ROM.
copy the titanium backup directory back to your sd card and restore apps without data first, then restore data of any games or what not.
Problems should be fixed.

You have a lot of options here. As the preceding posts may have eluded to. Depending on how consistent and deep your issues are, there are different steps that need to be taken.
You can always wipe the ROM and reflash. Do a dirty flash, by just wiping cache and dalvik, then reflashing. That tends to be my temp work around sometimes.
Worst case I've seen is reverting to stock. Unrooting. And starting back over.
With any new ROM you'll need to reflash your mods. Becareful tho of what mods you're using. Not all are compatible across the board.

Did reformatting the SD card help? I just realized and did the same thing. It had been a good 3-4 from changes and about a year since I formatted my card.
It helps a lot. I reformat mine about every 3-6 months
Swyped From The Hippest MIUI'd phone Using XDA Premium
Ok.. so.
I had a not-working clockwork mod, and like an idiot I used the rom manager via android to flash a new rom. So - that rom is stuck in its boot up logo over and over (team kang). And isn't moving despite waiting 10 minutes, and my clockwork mod is non functional. I can see the options in CMW but if I click one of them - I dont get the options to chose a zip/it does reboot. It simply gives me the hat with the refresh logo and no options. So CWM is not functional.
Fastboot boots, but recovery sends me to non functional CWM.
S = off, and the phone is/was rooted.
Any advise?
I hope someone is awake... lol
Try to use adb/fastboot to flash 4ext recovery. Or a new cwm recovery. You really need a functioning recovery.
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
Just sayin.. 4ext is a better recovery. However, if you prefer cwm, that is up to you. But if you can use adb to flash recovery, please do it, then from hboot go into recovery and flash a known working Rom...
Sent from my HTC GLACIER using xda premium
So your saying volume down while power on, boot up adb on the computer/fastboot on the phone and I can somehow push a 4ext to the phone? I'll give it a try but I'm lost at the moment.
Closest I came up with was downloading the stock rom/putting it on SD card and loading it up that way.
I'll go back to DEV and check into how to flash it, but I was under the impression you had to have a working rom.
...are you making selections in recovery using the trackpad?
There is no trackpad? Volume up and down.
I just flashed 2 versions of CWM and finally got options with the touch version - then of course I lost MY sd card somewhere? Which is such a joy because I'll never find it. So I am now going to load up a rom on the SD card then install it.
Ok, got the rom installed, for my personal SD card - the other phone is booting up now, if it doesn't work atleast I can mount the SD card through CMW and such. TY original poster, I didn't actually realize you could flash files directly from the computer to the phone.
This all started when I rooted this phone because it was having battery issues/wasn't running right, then it needed to update but wouldn't because CWM was installed - so I tried to put a different rom on it but that didn't work.
YES!!!! It has booted into android just now. Score.

I actually didn't know there was a like button as this was one of my first posts really. But if you want an update, I flashed it through ADB and got a working bootloader then loaded ICS which completely didn't work.
This phone is for my mom's so I reflashed it to that Virtuous Unity rom/shes now complaining of some battery drain. I didn't install setcpu because they have something else running I saw? But maybe it needs to be setup? Either way I'll just install setcpu next time I see her.
Oh, as for the trackpad... *cough*. I've held the phones many times (hundreds), but never actually realized there was a trackpad on it. My mom used it in front of me shortly after I fixed her phone..

When I reboot by holding volume-down and power for some seconds, I very briefly see the screen that would allow me to choose recovery, or fast boot...but then it disappears and runs right to the hboot screen. There, my only option is to flash PC10IMG...which I'd love to avoid.
Why? I just flashed the v. 19 radio, and haven't changed the PC10IMG-FroYo.img back into PC10IMG...the one at /sdcard/ is still EdKeys radio file! I suppose that I could put the sd card in my computer, push the proper image there and re-insert it in my phone... (can I do that, in fact?) but then I'd be stuck re-rooting the device, which you can see above is at just the right place...right where I want it.
What I really want to know is, why can't I get into recovery...it has been working just fine...it's the latest "classic" 4EXT...2.2.27-RC5 or some such...
As I say, it appears (that is, the option to choose it or fastboot, etc. appears) when I do volume-down + power...then it is gone.
Big thanks for the help. I was trying to flash some new ROM and got an sdcard error, then stupidly just hit "reboot now," thinking I would go back to the last good ROM I'd flashed...assuming the one I was trying to flash just hadn't taken. I was outside in the bright sun, and couldn't read the error very well...and said, scr*w it, and rebooted. Sigh...
I have a complete nandroid backup taken just a few hours earlier...so getting to fastboot should do it...but I can't seem to!

the problem is you left the pc10img on your sdcard, either remove your sd card or remove the .zip

once you apply the radio.img, its done. boot into os and use a file explorer to remove it, or mount it to pc and remove it. or if you want it on sd then just simply rename it.

at the cost of twenty odd bucks, I bought a 16 GB, class 10, SD card...not because I need it, but because I could not buy a passive adapter without a card! Came home, insert the old SD card in the adapter, adapter into the Mac, into the finder, changed PC10IMG to PC10IMG-radio+rcdata-v19, changed PC10IMG-FroYo to PC10IMG, and I am back in business with a new system.
Now...to learn how to format the dumb card I bought, and replace the 8 gig, class 4 (or 6?) guy I have in there now.
many thanks again, now I know more...

you have 4ext recovery right? if not very similar in clockwork, just boot to whatever recovery and partition there.
personally I recomend 1~2gb for ext4 and no swap (skip the second ext partition if it asks) and the rest fat32. of course use what works for you. I lived with 512mb ext partition for years (with the g1) and only moved to 1gb a year or so ago. haven't felt the need for more as I'm not super app heavy.

It'll wait till tomorrow, but thanks! There's another guy I see quite a bit here on the forums, kbeezie or something like that, who gives detailed info on how he does swap...there's a thread about it I'll want to read...maybe he uses another app in there as a swap manager...
It's poetic justice that you have helped me, since it was (indirectly) you who got me into this mess (and only you I'll admit it to.) You mentioned the other day that you like EliteMod...so I thought I'd give it a try. I flashed it, and very first thing it wanted me to log in to my google account...I said ok, and up came a message like "slide out the keyboard." I looked blankly at that for a long time...swiped with my finger from all directions...tapped on the screen...cursed...and it never, never, ever occurred to me that what was meant was the physical keyboard, which I haven't used in a year, at least!
Ha ha, the jokes on me...what an old nitwit, eh? I bought the damn G2 for the keyboard in the first place, as I was a confirmed BlackBerry user from my work...and fell instantly in love with Swype (and now Slide-IT, SwiftKey, etc.) and never "hardware" typed since. So I shut it down, rebooted into recovery, reflashed mimicry...and in the middle of that, it occurred to me what EliteMod was talking about...so without ever rebooting into mimicry, I went back into 4ext, reflashed EliteMod...and that was when my trouble started (now fixed again, of course, thanks to you.)
So, my friend, you have sunk me and revived me each once today...well done and thanks...

No problem, I'm glad I'm able to help. Kebeezie has made an aroma installer to help setup data swap and apps to SD in various Roms. This was thought up and the script written by the developer of elitemod, nik3r, so if your planing on using elite mod ICS, don't worry about kebeezies script as it is a part of elitemod, well all the files are there along with explanations in the op.

So, I've searched the forums, and I haven't seen any posts about my specific problem.
Before I begin, I will confess that I am a flashaholic (there, I said it!!!) and I suspect that the booting problems that I encounter has something to do with the number of times that I have flashed new roms, kernels, and scripts. (I think that scripts are the main culprit)
Now, here is my issue. While using my phone regularly, the phone would begin to delay, and then perform a soft boot. This has happened while I have been playing games, installing apps, browsing the Internet (using Firefox/Dolphin Browser), and most recently, simply setting up my phone after a FRESH INSTALL of my main gb rom listed below. Sometimes, it DOES boot properly, but usually not. Rarely, it does seem full reboots instead of soft reboots.
Another twist to my problem is the fact that usually my phone would get stuck in a boot loop, replaying the booting animation until I do a battery pull, or if I do still hard restart. Usually, after I restart, the phone gets stuck on the white "HTC EVO 4G" splash screen. I have even left it overnight, and it was still on the splash screen when I awoke. I can still boot into recovery and flash a new rom, losing my data that was not backed up. (Just a side note, I am getting tired of starting Tip-Off from the beginning, since my progress doesn't backup in TB)
Thirdly, I have tried re flashing different roms, like SOS+, and I have had the exact same result. This definitely is NOT a problem with the rom! MikG is a great rom, and it was the first rom that I tested when I first rooted my phone. My phone has been rooted since February, and I only begun to experience this issue for the past 3 weeks.
Lastly, I have noticed another bug with my phone while using MikG. I would turn my screen on, and all of my 7 screens would be blank, my apps loaded to the SD would be missing, and I am unable to reinstall any of them, Superuser would stop working, Google Apps would stop working, my phone would be disconnected from my linked email accounts, and I wouldn't be able to reconnect to any of them due to my Gapps being broken. I tried flashing my GB apps, and when I rebooted, I was greeted with a "process.android.acore has failed" or something.
The only reason that I haven't posted this question in themikmik.com is because I know that my problem isn't exclusively a problem with the rom, but with my phone.
I know that big have said a lot, but please help, for this is MORE than annoying.
EDIT: I forgot some details. I am using Smelkus 4.3 recovery (and yes, I triple wipe everything) and I have tried using this rom with the stock kernel, and more commonly with the Anthrax kernel. I tried overclocked, and I tried running at regular speed (998MHz). I tried flashing using TWRP 1.1 (not the touch screen version).
P.S.: When I think about it, I didn't begin to see these random problems until I tried using TWRP for the first time. I got stuck of the splash screen upon my first use, and my reboot problems started from scratch that time.
P.S.S.: Hooray for my first post! Took me two weeks for find something "worthy" of a new post...

What size is your sd card.
Is it partitioned? And to what? ext-3? 4?
Perhaps a sd-ext repair in recovery is in order to fix part of your issue.
My sd is 32gb, and not partitioned. I have 12gb worth of data, and I have honestly procrastinated transferring the files to a computer to partition it. However, my 8gb card that came with the phone wasn't partitioned, and I never had that problem.
Then again, you might be right, since my card is relatively new. But would the card really affect how my phone handles apps, even when no apps are installed to it?

32 GB sdcards have caused problems for some on our EVOs. You may want to try transferring everything to a 16 GB sdcard.
You may also try reflashing your recovery.

Hmmm...true, if no apps are on sd card....however, its easy to partition so perhaps try it.
Another thing that comes to mind is, battery. Maybe your soft reboots are due to battery contacts dirty/old/not contacting and for a split second, your battery disconnects, then reconnects, making the phone think the battery was pulled and reinserted? Just throwing some ideas out there since you said you wipe properly and it acts the same on different roms.
You said you were using smelkus---which is an excellent recovery ( I use that also), so I dont think your recovery isn't doing its thing.
I'll try partitioning it and I'll monitor what happens. Unfortunately, since I cannot exactly replicate any of the occurrences, it will truly be hard to tell if the problem is fixed.

32 GB sdcards have caused problems for some on our EVOs. You may want to try transferring everything to a 16 GB sdcard.
You may also try reflashing your recovery.

I've heard that also but personally, I have not had issues with my 32GB class 10 card....(well, not totally true because on Decks Reloaded, after a reboot, I "lose" my apps and widgets) ...but I have a workaround for that. Will have to go to a 16GB class 6 if I get tired of that issue.:silly:

That's a thought. I really don't want to buy yet another sd card, so I will try a fix before I do that. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Also, it is common for me to have the phone freeze and reboot while using ANY ICS rom, especially when using something that requires gps, like Google maps, Go Weather EX, or of course, GPS navigation. It is just me?

Dont think that's common...let me ask you, have you tried a different governor such as interactivex or smartass with deadline as a scheduler?
Are you undervolted at all? My phone hates to be undervolted by very much, but that's my phone, yours may react differently.
I usually run the ondemand governor, max 1.037GHz - min 128MHz with the Anthrax kernel. Is under clicking the same as undervolting? And if not, how would I do that?
Also, I have tried interactiveX governor, and not smartass.

Underclocking and undervolting are not the same.
Looking at your 1.037 overclock, perhaps your phone cannot handle that. You stated you have problems with the standard 998 max?
When I ran Anthrax with MikG, I had no issues with it and then again, knew nothing about undervolting until I went to ca1ne's underworld kernel which is undervolted in and of itself.
I wouldn't start messing with voltages until your other issues are resolved as I dont think with Anthrax, it's undervolted to begin with.
Yes, I did have problems even on the stock kernel from MikG. I reflashed, and I was loading my widgets, placing my apps, and it got stuck rebooting when I tried to replace the original talk.apk with the ICS version from the SOS+ rom, which I ALWAYS do (so I doubt that my actions are the true cause of the problem).
Undervolting does sound like a good suggestion. I will read up about it extensively before I attempt to do anything. (I did before I tried rooting and OC'ing because I don't have the money to replace my phone, which no longer has a warranty.

Just re-read your first post.
You started having issues about 3 weeks ago? Was that about the time you got your new sd card?
I had the card for about 2 months now. But I wouldn't doubt that it is causing the problem

I see.
I guess my suggestion would be....
Reflash smelkus.
Save anything you need to save on phone/sd card.
Partition sd card to ext -3, 1028 partition size, 0 swap (partitioning sd card will format your card, so save stuff)
Wipe all except sd card and reflash preferred rom of your choice.
In other words...start over. Gotcha. I'll try it in a few and get back to you.

So, I partitioned, and I am now staring at the progress bar as my 12GB of info transfers from my computer to my phone. This is why it took me so long to partition, because I did not do it while the card was empty. Anyway...back to waiting....
Also, I am trying ca1ne's v0.8 underworld kernel. I tried it before, and I found it to be a little choppy. I'll see what happens now. Who knows, I just might keep it. But, I have gotten used to the way my phone works with the anthrax rom, and I think that my phone got used to that too

Now you can take advantage of roms that utilize DarkTremors a2sd which will symbolicly link apps to the sd-ext you created thereby freeing up internal memory big time.! Not to be confused with the apps2sd that move part of the app to sd card....no need for that anymore.!
i.e...if you are using DarkTremors a2sd, do not move apps to sd card...follow? DT will do it automatically for you.
