Well, I have a problem, my EVO doesn't boot, I was first on meanrom and made a nandroid backup(system and boot), after that I wanted to install MIUI, so I flashed with flash GUI, all worked fine in the ROM, but after I wanted go back to meanrom I went to recovery, nandroid menu, cleared caches and restore partitions(I always do the same if the ROM I have don't like me), but for my surprise, phone doesn't boot, it shows the HTC white screen and after that just shows a black screen, the phone isn't turned off, it seems like a dimmed black screen. I tried to run adb to flash the boot.img but the pc doesn't recognize the device, I tried to restore only the boot partition in recovery and install meanrom again(ROM i had before) with no luck. I don't know what to do, any suggestions? Oh, I'm on hboot 1.5
You need to also wipe data when flashing a rom with a different base or boot.img. What I would do is boot recovery through adb and flash ROM/kernel from there.

Yes, i wiped data and system too. And the first i tried was to flash ROM through adb but it says phone not found, is there a way to make the pc recognizes the phone?

Yes install HTC sync for our phone and after it installs you need to uninstall it. This will install the drivers for our phone. You need to make sure usb debugging is enabled and plug your into your pc. It should work now.

Didn't think of that, but it should still work. Try getting into recovery by holding volume and power to turn phone on.

you dont try and do it from adb then... go to your bootloader screen by holding volume down and then the power button.....select fastboot and then hook your phone up to your data cable an use this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
boot.img being the file that was saved in your backup flash that and that may fix your problem

fastboot and adb work at different times....adb is for when youre booted into the android
OSwith debugging turned on.... if you can run any adb commands then you can push any file you want.... but if no adb commands work you have to be in the bootloader area for fastboot to work....fast boot doesnt work when your at any htc boot screen it says its waiting for device bc its not set into fastboot usb modeagain.... turn the device off then hold the volume down buttonand press power.... friom there a screen will pop up and go through a file list and then come to a screen where the first option selected is "fastboot" press the power button from there and then hook up the data cable....you should see it say "fastboot usb" nowand from there you run
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot commands only work in one spot in the set up just like adb commands only work when youre fully booted into the android os

Idk if windows matters but i tried on a tablet with windows 8 with no luck, after I tried on a 64 bits windows 7 pc witness no luck but on a 32 bits windows 7 worked in the first try.
Your stuck in a bootloop and also you have lost you boot.IMG and you will have to exract from the zip folder of the Rom you have flashed and when that's done you will go to that folder and scroll down and you will see boot.IMG now copy and past it in the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot now open cmd and type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG and press enter and your EVO should reboot enjoy

Ok so I wanted to try out some new Tom's besides the cm7 weeklies and figured I should do a deeper wipe than just the normal cwm wipe but I can't seem to figure put how to get fastboot working I set it up on my phone and navigated to the file ln my laptop and just issued a reboot so I knew how it worked before I started wiping but it just sat there and never rebooted I have is there additional files I need besides the fastboot exe to do a wipe. And is it advised to erase all the partitions before flashing a new rom or is it not needed

I don't know for sure so I'll just tell you what I have in my folder where I have my fastboot.exe. I also have the adb files which include:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Not sure if that means anything though. Have you updated your drivers recently? What OS does your laptop use? I know if you have the wrong drivers it can cause problems like using 32 bit drivers on a 64 bit system.
As far as wiping, it is recommended especially if you go from a different ROM to another. I usually use this which was suggested by a user named @CaelanT:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall

Well just updated motohelper and no luck still no response in fastboot maybe my procedure is wrong in what way do you wipe
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
ok learning process. didn't even realize you needed adb to use fastboot. so i got that on my laptop.
adb isn't recognizing my phone either so i think i'm still missing something
Right now i know i have the motohelper install adb and and the fastboot files. I may have some other files when i first got my phone that just installed with it was still blurred but i don't know
Do you have "USB Debugging" checked when using adb?
How did you unlock the bootloader? It seems weird that it's not working since you need an unlocked bootloader to run CM7 (which you said you had) and you need fastboot to unlock the bootloader. I don't understand what could have changed since then. Are you using a different computer now?
Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you putting the phone into fastboot before you issue the fastboot commands?
[Turn off phone->Hold Vol down and press power->Keep holding Vol down until it says "Fastboot" at the top of the screen->Release Vol down and then press Vol up]

Yep usb debugging is on
honestly i don't know why it's not working it just says waiting for device, all i need to do is just put into fastboot on my phone, navigate to the fastboot.exe on the command promt. Then plug in in the phone and issues the command correct. are there any other things that need to be running to get it working. is there another step before this for the computer to recognize my phone
There are only 2 things I can think of after the details you have given me:
1. Are you making sure it says "Starting fastboot protocol" at the top of the screen before you issue the commands?
and
2. Have you rechecked your drivers? To me this sounds like the issue if everything else is in place. Try plugging the phone into your computer while it's turned on and switching the "USB Connection" from "None" to "Windows Media" then to "Mass Storage" and finally "Phone Portal", making sure you allow it to install any proper drivers on each connection (takes a few seconds). It's also important to select OK each time you change the connection.
Also, did you get the correct adb files in the same folder as fastboot.exe?
Other than these 2 suggestions I don't know what could be causing the issue. At this point I would be seeking help myself.

ok did some more searching it is the driver just have to figure out what i need to get on my computer now
Ok haven't wiped yet but i got the right driver on my computer now adb now can discover my device and a did a fastboot reboot and it worked cool beans.
just in case anyone else is having a similar problem i had to download the MOTODEV usb driver here http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/ and yes had to sign up for MOTODEV to do it but whatever got it working and i'm pumped
My phone is S-ON, this means that in order to install a kernel i need to use the FlashGUI app. I tried using a new 3.6 sense ICS rom, so i flashed the kernel and applied the zip in recovery. However, i didnt know that the ROM would not work with S-ON, so i tried flashing a new rom (d3rp rom to be specific) That worked, but when i booted up i was stuck a black screen, I think this is because I am on an ICS kernel. Next, I try to do a nandroid restore, but that doesnt seem to work. Whenever I nandroid restore I get stuck at "restoring recovery partitions" - it just stays there for so long, i waited half an hour then i did a battery pull. tried flashing the rom, no luck. What should I do? thank you..

I used a slightly different method but i pretty much did what you said here and help from another guy, thanks!
So I have a Telus version of the HTC One X+ 64GB. I have been pretty familiar with flashing roms on samsungs. Wasn't the case so much with the HTC. So I decided to unlock boot loader, root, and flash a custom recovery. Decided to flash this rom from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219520 not understanding how the boot.img works well guess what I didn't flash that. Now I'm stuck on the Panandriod 3+ boot logo. The phone from my understanding don't seem to wanna charge. Just gets a slow blinking red notification light. When I was able to get into recovery when the battery had charge I was unable to get the ad card to mount so I could add the boot.img to the phone to get fast boot to flash it. I have all the drivers installed on the PC but unsure if maybe the reason that recovery is unable to mount is because of HTC Sync is installed on the PC as well?
The whole reason for trying to flash a rom on this HTC is because I have the HTC One Developer Edition on the way and I wanted to learn as much about flashing HTC as I could so I wouldn't mess up and brick my HTC One when it came. Nowwwww I'm not so confident.
Two days research I have a little more knowledge but still unable to find a good thread or resource to fix this problem. I was able to get some charge thru to the phone when I selected recovery and it went to a black screen with the notification light pulsing red. It seems like its not fully bricked. I tried to use Cmd in windows to try and communicate and see if he phone would respond to the fast boot commands but to no lunch Cmd cannot find the phone. Do anyone know where I could start? Is there a tool kit that can send me back to stock? It was running 4.1.1 any help in the right direction would be great. Thank you guys.
You HAVE to flash the boot.img! Flash it in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Without the new boot.img (which is the kernel) your Rom will not run.

Hey thanks for replying
I downloaded the pizza boot.img but the issue I'm facing is charging it seems either very very slow on black screen or maybe it's not charging? But main issue is that PC cannot find the One X+ I will try this command but where do I place the pizza boot.img on windows?
The only thing is getting me is I'm getting the sound from windows when you connect a device when I plug the phone in USB but the cmd so far that I have tried even the All in one toolkit don't seem to see that the phone is connect USB in fast boot or boot loader mode. Think this is due to not enough charge? Plus should I just leave it in custom recovery to charge which is a black screen due to it says not enough charge to flash to charge my device?

I can hardly believe you didn't find anything that help you with this issue on this forum.
First is your SDK/ADB tool install on your computer?
It's not that complicated to flash the boot.img. Take the pizza boot.img and put it in your platform-folder of your SDk tool. Reboot your phone by holding Volume down and pressing Power button. In bootloader plug in your USB cable and at the prompt confirm that your computer is seen by typing this >fastboot devices if you have your serial confirmation then simply proceed with this at the prompt>fastboot flash boot insert_pizza_name_boot.img (enter) again at the prompt>fastboot erase cache (enter) the for rebooting >fastboot reboot (enter)

Thanks Lucky, I noticed tonight I went thru everything in issues and I noticed that I didn't correctly have SDK set up right on my windows. Hopefully that this is the issue and that when I set it up right that I can fix this problem. This has been far different then Samsung to fix hahaha thanks again and kinda my bad for posting the question. But hopefully that works.

No I don't have TWRP I have the recover that came in the noob tool kit. The none touch screen one lol. But I understand a fair bit on what I should have done. I'm gonna try and follow luckies link for the SDK set up and see if I can send the zip file to the phone then flash it in recovery. Just I hope the thing can charge. I had it on the charger for 4 hours today and it still said that there was not enough charge to flash I tried charging it in the boot loop and in recovery.
So I guess the issue is worse. The phone won't charge at all the red notification light blinks red but it don't seem to be charging at all I have looked for fixes and it says flash latest compatible recovery but it won't even discover the phone connected to windows with proper HTC drivers installed

Yea I am able Lucky. But what I tried today was to get RUU to recognize the phone to do that but no go. So tomorrow I'm gonna do a fresh reinstall on a new laptop of windows and install drivers again and all that. But as for boot loader mode it boots. I click recovery and I get a black screen. I can fast boot USB but I'm not quite sure about USB debugging is still turned on. If it where I'm sure I wouldn't have an issue with the PC not seeing the phone connected.
OK try this in bootloader mode with the USB plug

Will do Lucky. Thanks for your time and patience. I will try this over the night. I really like to try and get this fixed and to understand how the htc works with installing roms and tweaks. I really don't wanna mess up my Develeper Edition of the HTC One that's on the way.

Move this file in your platform-tools folder
Press and hold the Shift key and right click on a empty space of that folder and select Open Command Window Here
In the command window with your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode
Type>fastboot flash recovery TWRP2500.img
(Success)
Type again>fastboot erase cache
(Success)
Unplug your USB cable
Hit one time Power
Select Recovery (Volume down)
Hit Power to Reboot in Recovery
Phone should charge in recovery even if the red light doesn't lit.
Just tried this on my phone with less than 10% and it worked flawlessly, after ~10 minutes my phone was at 13%+
Otherwise you will have to create a batch file and run it while your phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode :
Code:
" @echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
"
That should allow your phone to charge to the minimal required to flash or to re-unlock your bootloader.

Do you have adb? If you do the command is adb reboot recovery. Need to know more it just cycles? If so then try to push both power button and and both volumes until it has lights flashing at the bottom and reboots dont let go until it reboots. Other then that I am not sure. I tried to boot to recovery the manual way and it doesnt work. Which is why i Always use that to reboot recovery. Wait, I figured it out. Hold down volume power dont let go until bootloader comes up then let go of both. use volume down and select recovery and bam!
Okay so I tried holding down power and down volume to get into bootloader, it got me there and I could scroll to recovery, but it kept cycling the reboot before it would boot into recovery. I tried plugging it into the computer to use adb, but it just makes the plug/unplug USB sound in Windows. I also tried holding down all three buttons, and it makes no difference.

Ok so if you have fastboot you should be able to use fastboot to flash recovery. If you are going to use a backup then you would need to have the same recovery image you used for the original. My suggestion is go to twrp and get the image. make sure you are plugged in at bootloader and fastboot is selected. IT should say fastboot usb if you are connected correctly on the top. I am assuming you have fastboot? If not my suggestion is to get minimal adb and fastboot it is the easiest. after you have installed run this command.
fastboot devices
it should come up with your device number if it doesnt then you need fastboot drivers. If it does then take the recovery.img you downloaded and place it in the same folder as your fastboot and adb folder. I suggest changing name to make it easier, I usually just change it to recovery.img instead of whatever it downloaded as. Then enter this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It should say sending and complete then enter this command
fastboot reboot recovery
bam you are in recovery!

I figured out what caused this. About a month ago, I was deleting unnecessary files, and it had been a year since I'd flashed my custom ROM so I forgot what the process involved. I accidentally deleted the 'sdcard' folder, and the phone became a ticking time bomb for it to stop working. I bricked it didn't I?

No, If you have twrp use adb push and push a rom to your phone and then flash it and your fine.

Okay so I tried holding down power and down volume to get into bootloader, it got me there and I could scroll to recovery, but it kept cycling the reboot before it would boot into recovery. I tried plugging it into the computer to use adb, but it just makes the plug/unplug USB sound in Windows. I also tried holding down all three buttons, and it makes no difference.

If you can get into your rom, go to settings..power and at the bottom disable fastboot

1. Charge your phone (about 24 hours).
2. Let him rest (about 24 hours) without turning on.
3. Connect device to PC with original wire (Win7 preferred).
There is possibility that your BB will recognize phone.

thank you for your help my bootloader wasn't unlock it is now thanks a lot
It appears your device's bootloader is locked. Try:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
If that doesn't help, search for a guide on how to unlock bootloader for your specific brand.
It also looks like don't really know what you are doing. Make sure you are following trusted guide. If no, I'll be happy to help.

well i did installed custom roms few time but i dont know much, i did unlock bootloader now the problem is i do install custom recovery twrp and it do installed and rom manager shows that custom recovery is installed but pressing volume down + power button just shows fastboot logo and it restart my phone, and with command "
adb reboot bootloader" i am able to boot into fastboot mood and when i go to recovery from their it open stock recovery instead of twrp
Stolen from my guide:
7. Go into fastboot mode
8. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
10. fastboot reboot recovery
12. Sometimes recovery doesn't want to stick as a permanent one. To test it, hold the power button and select "Reboot to recovery". If you reboot to TWRP, you can move on, but if you reboot to stock one, flash recovery using fastboot again and from recovery flash recovery again (sounds crazy, right?). I won't give you instructions on this, research it yourself. Make sure guide you will find is for your device and your recovery.
