One thing was that I used the OP file.

I tried to apply my nand back up, it didn't work, and then I just reflashed my kernel. When I rebooted after that, it booted correctly. Then I shut it down to check my hboot version and it was the 0.76.0002. The kernel I am running is netarchy-toastmod 4.1.8 cfs and my recovery is amon_ra 1.8.0.

My phone kept booting to fastboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eman3316@optonline.net:
Have you tried to flash another Rom just to see what happens?

Also, I noticed a lot of people saying they get stuck at the bootloader screen, buy my decive actually boots the HTC EVO screen and then just keeps rebooting to that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SITH16:
I didn't try to flash another rom, because i'm on the phones stock rom. I like it, what can I say. I would still try to reflash my kernel.

Try pulling the battery, and starting it up holding down the volume down and power buttons. When it boots into fastboot, and scans the update file, and asks if you want to install it, tell it no, then it should ask to reboot, tell it no again.

Now use the volume up and down keys to highlight recovery and go into your recovery and the reflash your kernel.

It can't hurt it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmac4life:
I had the same issue, I had flashed the hboot from 71 and was able to boot into a wiped device.

I am confused on what to do next. I am trying to reroot doing the unrevoked 3.21 but following the steps again, I cannot find my device under the device manager to install the next hboot unless it's already still flashed to my device

Do I just go onto to unrevoked 3 exe? Please help me!

Also if I wanted to get cm6 what steps should I do now? Thanks, really wanted this to work!

Just fyi, I have downloaded Titanium root and wifi tethering and both state I am not rooted. so it did break root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ray90813:
I had the same thing happen to me, didn't lose root but somehow lost super user permissions. I can't remember where I downloaded the flash file from (was on here though), reflashed the superuser image file using recovery and regained superuser rights. If that helps any.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
Wow, now that you mention it I think I did have to reflash Superuser to get everything working correctly. The .apk I downloaded from the market never worked so I always ended up flashing the 2.2-root.zip from regaw's thread. Worth a shot for those having problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I ended up using the OP file and that got me stuck in the bootloader loop. Even in recovery my nandroid backups were erroring out.

So I flashed the PC36IMG.zip file that Karadorde helpfully provided and all was well. I still had root but lost my superuser permissions, so reran unrevoked and was back in business.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gslogen:
ok i did get stuck in the bootloader and tried doind a nand restore and no good. but if i download the PC36IMG.zip will i lose my root? or this is a fix so i can run my restore from nand?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
this whole thread looks useless.

The commands are restored by flashing the hboot (downgrading) that actually contains them

so if you have hboot .79 and you un revoked, people are flashing the hboot .76 to get the commands.

if you have s-off after un revoked couldnt you just jump from there and flash the whole eng pc36img.

sure it might break your nanddroids but what ever, i would think it wouldnt loop after that. and you would get your commands back

i dont get it, unless i missed something in the thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gslogen:
ok i need help i cant push files or do anything on my phone its stuck in the bootloader. all because i wanted to get rid of that bright white boot screen when loading up grrrr :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] gslogen:
so how can i go back to orginal hboot ? looks like if i can do that ill be golden again :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
I would think if your on .79 with s-off

you should be able to flash the mtd-eng build that was posted in toasts nand unlock tutorial

maybe im wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I already replied in the other thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714177&page=15), but what you need to do is flash Karadorde's file to get out of the loop. This will wipe your phone, but at least it's working again, right? You will need a microsd card reader to put it on your card since you can't push it to the phone because it's stuck in the loop.

Sorry if I am re-asking a question already answered in this forum, but I just do not have time to read all 22 pages.

I am wondering, I just flashed in the 76.200 hboot and was able to install CM6 after getting the error everyone seemed to get, however now I am unable to load the backups i had previously with the 93 hboot.

If i flash the 93 hboot back in will I still be able to run CM6 as well as the other rom backups i have, or will I have to live with one or the other?

If someone could please provide a 93hboot for me to flash in, I am willing to piss in the wind and do some discovery on this one.

Also, separately, i have been having issues flashing the (i believe) standard radio.img that is given to flash with roms. I have no problem flashing wimax, but i get an error when i try to flash the radio. Any Ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] abu_noah:
I need help. I was rooted vis Simple Root ota when I was on 2.1 and ever since then, I have been using CM6. Last I was using Magnus Ragnarok's Rom based on CM6 called CM_B2_supersonic, and then I wanted to make a video on how to root 2.2, so I unrooted using the [ROM]RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15. 00.07.28_NV_1.71_003, and then rooted using the 1 click Unrevoked 3.2.1. Everything went well and I attained Root. Actually I've done it twice, and then I flashed the EVO_HBoot_0.76.2000.zip made by Culkin on post two and I was able to restore my nandroid back ups, but now I cannot install a new CM6 nightly without a boot loop. Tried a million times and now I'm regretting using Unrevoked even though it did what it said, I feel like I should just go back to stock Evo, because now I feel like I'm locked down more than before.

Actually was able to flash CM6 through rom manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
Sorry, but why do you want the .93 hboot back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyjohnson:
Beacuse, while previously with hboot 93, i could not load CM6, now that i have the 76.2 hboot, i can not load the two nandroid backups i have which are running fresh rom and no rom.

Beacuse this is the only thing i have changed since i was last able to use those backups, my assumption is that the hboot change is what is causing the inability to load the backups.

So i am hoping that i can flash back to hboot 93, and then use all three backups to switch between as i figure out which to keep permanently. .

Also, I have been unable to load one of the CM nightly builds yet, though i have no clue why... dont know if this is related.

EDIT: I am stuck in a loop where when the phone boots, it gets stuck at the splash screen for CM or Fresh, depending on which nandroid backup i tried to restore. the animation plays and then resets after a random period of time and continues. Not sure if this is the same as a bootloop, but it sucks. Where can i find a stock kernel zip to flash? HELP ME PLEASE!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
I hope these work for you.

We did kind of figure out that whenever you switch hboot images it would break your nandroids. So I don't know that you will be able to revert to .93 and still use the CM6 backup you made while on .76.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyjohnson:
Im done with CM6. honestly didnt like it, and dont like the fact that i need 76.2 to run it, which has obviously caused me a share of trouble.

Im assuming that the PC36 contains the 93 hboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyjohnson:
Ill be honest, I have no idea what I did, but some combination of flashing the stock kernel, flashing the 93 boot image, then trying to do a nandroid restore got me into a boot loop, at which point i just flashed in Fresh3.2 and im up and running it seems.

Thanks for all your help

One last question, how can i flash in AmonRa's recovery instead of clockwork? Cuz the mass storage option would have saved me the 12 dollars i had to spend on a micro sd reader...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
I am glad it worked out for you. Easiest way to flash anon _ra is too download ROM Manager and select Flash Alternate Recovery at the bottom.

Karadorde,i know you are probably agitated..ive been reading for about a week now

1)i just want to change my boot/splash image right now i am on the fresh rom.do i need to flash to another rom before i do this.

2)Do i just download the pc36img in the first post and then flash it via recovery or via hboot?

3)after flashing the image,if i do get stuck in a boot loop i dont care,i have a microsd card reader,do i just flash a different rom?

4)then after all is all can i just flash back to my fresh rom/cooked rom again,once more i dont care about nandroid backups or anything like that.

really all i want is to be able to change the splash screen with a fastboot command without getting this damn error(im not upset with any1 but myself,so no offense with the language)

sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY [ 0.355s]

writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.356s

Thanks man,ive done alot of research but i just cant seem to get this to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
I am not agitated at all. I really just want to help and I hope that I can provide sound adivce without causing a headache for people.

You will not need another ROM to do this. The ROM will have no effect on the outcome, or at least it shouldn't.

To apply the PC36IMG just download the file, place it on the root of your sd card, and boot into your Bootloader. You will want to make sure you are in Hboot and not Fastboot. The phone will scan the sdcard for the file and then ask if you want to apply it. Select yes. Then select reboot.

If you get stuck in a bootloop or stuck in the bootloader without being able to boot into the rom there are several fixes. You can check them out in the OP. One of them is almost certain to work.

Once you have the engineering bootloader back you can do whatever you want from there. You probably won't be able to restore from a nandroid, but since you don't care about that then go ahead and flash whatever rom you would like from your recovery.

Let us know how it goes. Hope this helps. PM me if you want/need more info/help.

Flashing Cm6 using the method in this post

I am trying to flash the latest nightly of cm6 onto my rooted 2.2 evo. When I tried this using DjR3Z's method, I got an "assert failed" error. He was aware of this, I believe, only there was no definitive solution found on that page, just a link for this thread. Can anyone help a new guy out with successfully installing CyanogenMod 6 to my EVO?

Thanks, In Advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyjohnson:
UPDATE

UPDATE::: FAILLLLL!!!!!!

So i went to go flash a widget or something into my new, all fixed up evo running fresh 3.2, and as soon as I did, I am back to square 1 (had a feeling this would happen). Now, when i turn the phone on i get stuck at the "htc EVO 4G" screen.

for some time now, when i boot to Hboot, the hboot seems to read something and then asks me if i want to update, (i say no) and then if i want to reboot (i say no). this has happened only since i uploaded the 76.200 ENGboot, and even though i am now back at 93hboot, i am still getting the message.

i believe this is the primary symptom of an issue which is beyond my personal explanation, however i have a strong feeling that if i can get hboot to stop asking me to update, that will mean that it is ok again. anyone have any ideas for what to do? unrevoked again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] onlysafonne:
It went freaking sweet,thanks for the help,all i did was flash the file in the 1st page of the thread,got the bootloop error,and just reflashed my freshrom,the best part was i didnt have to use my titanium bacjup,all my apps and scenes were still there,super easy...:rolleyes: thanks alot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
Flash a widget? What are you flashing exactly? Are you wiping first?

When booting into Hboot it will always scan for a PC36IMG.zip. The fact that you have a PC36IMG.zip file on your sdcard is the reason why it asks if you want to apply the update and then if you want to reboot. You will never get it to stop scanning for the file and if there is a file you will never get it to stop asking if you want to update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyjohnson:
That makes sense. I think that the reason it freaked out again is because when i flashed fresh3.2 it was in 76hboot and when i went to go flash something, i agreed to the update and it flashed 93, so when i rebooted again, it was not happy that 93 was there instead of 76. It seems to be that generally rom's like to stay with the hboot they were flashed with.

Also interesting is that when i redid the process that un bootlooped my phone the first time, including nand restoring my original backup, from before any rom, it booted just fine and is now running 100%.

I feel confident that i can walk myself out of any bootlooping now, so i think i am going to play around a little bit and figure out whats really going on in there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
Glad it all worked out for you.

I also just tested the method of flashing the first file, getting caught in the bootloader, and then just reflashing my rom. Worked like a charm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IAMYourReason:
Freaking out right about now. I used regaw's 2.2 root and I was happy with it, but I wanted to try out CM6 so I saw that I should flash this, well I tried the PC36IMG.zip and it worked, BUT it broke root, I was okay with that if I could get cyanogen and re root. When I flashed Cyanogen, it would never boot. I'm not okay with that, so I re rooted to Sense 2.2, tried the zip in Amon_RA and i'm stuck in a bootloader loop. My phone never boots. I DO NOT still have the PC36IMG.zip on my sdcard from the 2.2 root. Is there any way I can put it on there without having to run to the store and get an adapter for microsd? I'm not 18 so I am pretty hesitant to tell my dad that I was ****ing with my new phone and I broke it.

Thanks Mils,

~Reason

EDIT: So THAT's what USB-MS is for...

EDIT: EDIT: Still don't know if this is necessary to run CM6, but I've heard it helps. So do I actually NEED or can I just flash CM6 and be okay?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
Everything I've read says you need the eng bootloader to flash cm6. You can certainly give it a go if you'd like though I doubt it will work. If you think you've lost root, just make sure you have the superuser app installed. Id be willing to bet you still have root access but since your phone was wiped when you applied the pc36img it deleted SU.

Sent from my Burnt Droid regaw-rooted EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IAMYourReason:
Yeah I think I've got it now. I just needed some organizational skills. Instead of flashing this PC36IMG I flashed the 2.2 again, it deleted superuser, and I thought I had lost root. Since then, I have reinstalled 2.1, retraced my steps, and did it correctly, have this bootloader, and am working on getting a custom ROM.

It should all work out in the end.

Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ddt928:
Did you download the latest eng boot? Your evo will recognize the zip and ask if you want to update it. After that you should be able to flash whatever cm rom you want.

Can I run S-on after flashing the Eng bootloader to disable the permanent s-off through Unrevoked while keeping s-off through the Eng bootloader, or will that just mess everything up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
I'm sorry, what? You want to run the S-On tool to disable the permanent S-Off while keeping S-Off?

Your S-On or S-Off is all through your Bootloader. Unrevoked is just the tool used to toggle it to your preferred setting. So you can apply the eng bootloader, run the S-On tool, and then you will be S-on with the eng bootloader. But why run the S-On? Why not just stay S-Off?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
Have you tried re-flashing your rom, re-flashing your kernel, applying a stock PC36IMG.zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanyi83:
yea here is my story so far

well lets see...

I wanted to install CM6 to try it out and had to change my boot-loader, (I had .79.000 and had to downgrade to .76.200) Did this successfully loaded CM6 and then decided I wanted to re-flash back to my nandroid backup I made with my rooted stock ROM.

had to re-flash clockwork in CM6 for it to go to recovery, and then I got an error with the boot loader from my nandroid backup. I figured, no big deal ill just flash the new boot loader and redo my backup. Still didn't work.

I tried clearing data and rebooting and go back into clockwork, but no matter what boot-loader I have on it now .79 or .76.200 it boots into fastboot and when I try to go to recovery, it just gives me the red triangle and exclamation mark.

Can anyone help me resurrect my phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:

I did this to my htc evo becaue I did unrevoked 3.21 but couldnt flash CM6. I updated the PCImage36 and that in turn changed my bootloader from 0.93 to 0.76 .. But now I am stuck on the white HTC EVO 4g screen, any suggestions?

Have you reflashed the rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chebubbin:
I'm fully aware that this thread is about CM6, but for those who are looking for a fresh new ROM and dying to try CM6, and arrived here because they have a bootloader that CM6 does not yet support, consider using Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. This ROM is also AOSP 2.2 based and does not require downgrading from 0.79, for example, to 0.76.

Based on what I've read here, it seems like a terrible idea (at least for now). Needless to say, phones must be tarnished to get it working, but if you're a new to Android (no less a rooted, S-OFF'd device), don't hurt yourself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] onelovekir:
Not necessarily true. I finally figured out a way to get this working on mine and then restore back to my original state cuz installing kernels, or other roms, or other full PC36IMG.zip's just weren't working for me and I tried everything that was suggested here on the forums. No matter what I would just go back into a boot loop.

1. Do a NAND backup (I'm using AmonRa's recovery)

2. Make sure you have your current rom .zip and the PC36IMG.zip of the eng bootloader on the root of your sd card, now boot into the bootloader.

3. Let the PC36IMG.zip install and then hit reboot.

4. At this point when it goes into the boot loop, you are going to want to hit "no" to the update and "no" to the reboot and then scroll to "recovery" so that it will boot into recovery.

5. Do a NAND restore on the NAND backup from step 1...DO NOT REBOOT!!

6. Install your current rom (from step 2) from your SD card...but DO NOT WIPE DATA, CACHE, OR DALVIK!! Just let it install over top of your NAND restore!

7. When its finished installing, then reboot and your all done!!

It should be exactly the way you left it, but if you're like me and just wanted to make sure, when you are all loaded up the reboot back into recovery and do a NAND restore again from your NAND backup.

Not sure if its cuz of using the same boot.img that was used in the NAND backup or what, but it worked for me. Good luck and I hope this helped somebody!

So, fellas,

THE SOLUTION IF YOU'RE STUCK IN BOOTLOADER AFTER FLASHING PC36IMG FOR .76 ENG BOOTLOADER:

-Simply navigate to recovery

-Flash a Sense ROM (not sure if it works to flash CM6, but you can try) and reboot. It should boot just fine now :)
