[Q] PLZ Help

---

My son rooted his EVO using unrevoked 3 and it worked fine until he created a custom rom when it loaded it wiped out his operating system and didn't load. Now his phone is stuck the boot loader screen. Can someone please tell us how to fix the phone if you need more info just let me know and I will get it. Thanks for any help!

Did he make a nandroid backup? If not here is some advice: Ok, first go into bootloader, hit recovery then hit wipe data/ facotry reset (something to that effect) wait for it to finish and try a reboot. If that doesn't work, take out the micro sd card, insert it into your computer and download a stock rooted HTC evo rom (should be a zip file, don't extract!). Once done downloading, place it on the root of the micro sd.then put the sd back into the phone and boot into recovery again. Once in recovery, hit the install zip from sd and the hit choose file from sd. Find the file you downloaded and hit enter. Wait for it to install and reboot the phone. It should run properly again if these steps were done correctly.

You're on the right path but a bit off track.

Just use #1 if you have access to Recovery. Just read #2 so you have the correct illustration of what boatloader looks like vs recovery. (The post above was confusing)

#1. Make sure you have a rooted version of a stock ROM on the root of your SD card. If you do not, read the later part of #2.

Next, for to wipe and the wipe data, cache, and dalvik 2x..

Then, flash rooted ROM from the zip. Test...see if it works... if you tried over a dozen times with problems... then try #2.

If you had created a NANDrois back up as the root suggestions imply the here is where yo can restore nanderois as well.

If this still does not resolve the missed, you can try #2 or learn how to flash RUU.

#2. The white screen with the android on the skate board is the boatloader. When your EVO is yrunes off, you can access this by pressing and holding power+volume down. Remember, this is the bootloader.

Now, you can put a rooted pc32 zip in the root of the SD card by either removing the SD card from the phone and using a micro SD card reader.

Or, you can go to the bootloader screen then you can select recovery and go to recovery.

From recovery, toggle to USB and then push it copy the pc32 zip to the root of your SD card.

Once you have the zip on the SD card, turn off your phone or ADB command a reboot bootloader. Press yes to flash thepc32 zip

Did this work?
