did what all my friends told me to do, who have the evo apparently a bad mistake. used unrevoked to root my evo, worked perfect. stoked!! downloaded titanium backup, backed up everything, worked great. still happy. went to install a rom (i guess) it told me i needed to change my kernel and had a link to the market for a kernel downloader. downloaded the app looked through bout five different kernels, all had good reviews and stable... downloaded the one with the most downloads (6700 or something). asked download? i said yes. asked flask now? i said yes. it said flash complete reboot coming... rebooted got to the HTC EVO 4G white screen sat there for bout 15 seconds and shut off tried to reboot again same thing. bout ten times in a row so i pulled the battery. did a hard reset didnt fix, did a wipe, didnt fix....
anyone know what i can do please help.. thank you

You need to match the right kernel for the ROM your using, you can download and put it on your SD card boot into bootloader should be good to go. Worst case reflash ROM.

Go into bootloader (power off, then back on while holding volume down) Go into recovery, choose install from zip, then find the ROM on your SD card and flash.

You did backup right ?

I think he was asking if you made a Nandroid back ( a complete backup of you ROM) If not you need to place a ROM on your SD card and flash it via recovery (see my earlier post)

He most likely has the rom in the root kit. I flashed virus sence 3.0 on my wifes evo this mourning. Nice stuff.

Find a ROM in the EVO section here at XDA ( Your in the EVO Shift forum) http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653
Not sure what to tell you about getting your pc to recognize your SD card but that would make the process a lot easier

Dont hook it to the pc. When the phone is off (hold volume down then hold the power button) it will boot into bootloader, volume down to recovery, hit power to select.

i do not have the original rom becuase i didnt make a nandroid backup i was told i did not have to
and i tried dragging the zipped rom called "sinister rom" into sd card and it would not let me

BIG problem

i was hacking my inspire with Ace hack kit, and it somehow froze and wouldnt continue so i unplugged it and it seems like it got bricked or something idk ? like i turned it off took the battery out and back in and when it looks like its loading the screeen fades into a black screen .......... i tryed recovering, reseting and nothing. can any one please help me ? thanks

Grab a rooted STOCK ROM online and rename it to the PG98IMG.zip.
Reboot into bootloader and update the phone with that file.
You're phone should be back to normal. Happened to me once and that's what I had to do!
ps I attached the stock rooted gingerbread. Should do the trick bro

nooooooo. i really think my phone is F***ed up because when i turn it on it goes to a black screen, and doesnt load up

Can you get into hboot/bootloader? If so, you can recover it, following ladiesgod instructions. Youll just need to get the PG98 file onto your sd somehow....using a card reader plugged to pc or laptop or friends phone.

i did what you told me, im in bootloader but how do i load the ROM and install it?

I couldn't attach the file but google for "Stock GingerBread Rooted PD98IMG.zp". Download it. Rename it to "PD98IMG.zip" then place it on the root of your SD card. Go into HBoot. Your phone will scan your sd card then ask if you want to update it. Say yes!
Voila!

would you mind giving me a link for it? all it does is send me to some post here on XDA thanks, n btw i randomly tryed with a Custom ROm, it didnt work is it because of that?

Make sure it is named properly. Very important. I Dont know what the inspire is, ice seen both PG98 and PD98 typed here. I dunno cuz i have an evo. But as long as the file is named properly, hboot will detect it
Good luck
Edit: and MUST be on root of sd card, not in any folder.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yeah, i Dont believe a custom rom will work because of something in the meta-inf folder, or having to do with updater script/binary. Will need a rooted stock ROM, renamed exactly right.

sorry....
Man, I've been thru several pages of inspire forum, and can't find a stock rooted rom. In the evo forums, there's always several posted when there is official updated. Dont have time to keep looking for ya, gotta get daughter from school bus. Sorry. Good luck

i downloaded the rom from seggerman5926 link did everything you told me and nothing -_- named it both PG98 and Pd98 and still i really need my fone fixed by tomorrow morning too

tryed that too and nothing, i dont think ya understand my phone problem, when i turn it on and its loading, the HTC screen fades to black in a way that itll look when you drop it in water, something like that.........i think i really efffed my phone up -_____-

i think my problem would be solved if i can get my hands on a Legit Stock Rom thats Rooted or just regular, because when i tryed loaidng it on Hboot it said something about it not being the right image

What I linked to is the stock image

no its not, its like a program that u need to connect your phone to the Computer, and my phone basicly doesnt work at alll only thign that works is the Hboot menu thats bout it, i need the acctual ROM , Sorry

Trust me it is. There is a link in the first post that says in pd98img format. Which is what you need at this point.
My suggestion is to reformat the SD card fat32. Full format not quick.
Download the pd98 I linked and place on SD card(not in a folder)
Boot into hboot and install it

I think I know what message you're talking about. What you have to do is format your SD card.
I've gotten the same message before about a 'bad' image. Formatting my sd card and puttin the ROM on a clean card worked. Good luck!

Device stuck on HTC logo

I have tried to flash a wifi patch that was meant to solve problems with connections, and when i chose it from the list in Rom manager, when it rebooted into recovery it got stuck on the HTC logo, but before i flashed it. Now, i have a very old backup that i restored but i want everything that i had before my device couldnt boot itself. i backed up through recovery my current rom that i wasnt able to boot, and i wonder if there is some way to fix it with the files of .img that i have backed up. I know that the patch was responsible for this error because after i restored to an old backup i tried it there aswell and i got the same result doing the same thing...

Hmmm... one of those things huh? The only way I know is to restore the corrupt nandroid and then without restarting, flash the original ROM.zip of your rom (the one that you first used to do a clean install) right on top of this while in recovery. What this will do is to replace the files from the patch with the original files that camera with the ROM.
Try it and post your results.
And please get into the habit of creating nandroid backups before flashing anything...no matter how small the patch is or how confident you are that nothing will go wrong...
Hope this helps.

Yes. Use a card reader...
Or just use 'toggle usb storage' from the recovery menu...

Good. And in that case its advisable you add [solved] as prefix to your thread title...
Plus I think you should develop the habit of using the thanks button rather than typing it out...

Can't factory reset. I'm stuck here, help?

Heres the deal
Flashed MIUI, and im getting an unmountable/unavailable SD card problem. Cant mount to my PC either.
I tried using the RUU to go back to stock, getting errors. Tried factory resetting via CWM, but its giving my SD card mount problems as well. Tried factory resetting via phone settings. Phone just reboots.
Im stuck here, and I have no idea what to do.

You need to relock bootloader to flash the RUU.

Yes do that. Also I had issues with some Ruus not working with some drivers, kept gettin error 150 or maybe 140... Anyway I changed adb drivers and it worked. Don't get frustrated just yet.. We'll get u back
Also what about partition sd card in CWM? Don't know if it's there, should be. If not, install twrp and partition sd card from there.

Phone not working!!!

I'm not sure if this is the right section or not, sorry if it's not, but my phone is really screwed up. I have the htc one S on T mobile that is running the viper one s rom on cwm 10 and will just go to a black screen after displaying the htc screen. I don't have any nandroid backups or copies of working roms either, so I can't boot from those. I did not have USB debugging checked before my phone became corrupt, so I'm pretty sure that ABD will not work, and whenever I try and plug my phone into the computer and access the flash boot menu, it will say that the USB is corrupt and it will not work. The cause of this is because I was messing with the build.prop, I accidentally deleted it, although I have a backup, there is no way if installing it in my phone's current state. It's getting to the point where I honestly don't care if I lose al of my stuff just as long as my phone will work again. Any knowledge shared on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Recovery and fastboot and that's about it.

Get a micro sdcard or if you have one already, get a micro sdcard reader, open case from back of your phone and take out the microsdcard.
Put it in the card reader. Copy the rom/image... put the card back in... boot in recovery... use the rom from sdcard to flash that rom.
Have fun..

3. Search for other tutorials about flashing recovery via fastboot.
