It IS a boot LOOP right? Not just a long boot TIME? (Just checking)

You reflashed amon but how? Via ROM Manager? Have you tried flashing amon manually as it's decribed in FastRX8's root tutorial?

Step 2K or 5Z (same thing)

Looking at all you've done, a common denominator is your SD card. The card itself could be bad or maybe just a rotten file.
If you havent already then back up your card and then reformat with fats32.
Load the card into your device completely blank and reboot. Once the card is prepped by the phone try and test the stability.
If that takes care of the boot loops you're all set but potentially have a rouge file on your card. Be careful with how quickly you put files back onto your card so you dont put a funky one back and return to Boot Loop City.

Thanks for input and suggestions.

I usually pull the battery, go back into recovery, re-wipe, and if lucky it will then reboot OK. Makes flashing stuff not a fun adventure sometimes.

Flashed Amon RA manually through fastboot. Just redid it again to make sure I had a "good" flash.

Have not tried SD card deal...will do that if problem persist.

Thought of something last night to look at...I had SetCPU enabled at boot and looked at my profile settings...I had apparently OC'd to 1152 on a couple settings. I generally UC, not OC...guess I screwed up in rush way back when. This could potentially cause problems at boot couldn't it? Well, fixed nevertheless and will find out today when I flash something new...perhaps an updated kernal :headbang:

Check Firwmare Version (4.6.2.2v25641_) ........ 4.6.2.2v25641_

so how do i get it to update wimax is there a special way? same as the baseband right?

Yes, its flashed like the baseband, no wipes, did you do the baseband first? Id try again, it may just need a reflash.
How did you root/get to Froyo? There's a small chance you may be missing some updates from the 1.47 OTA.
OMJ v1.7 ROM1 from Post 2 may help as it updates a lot of firmware.

Yank Set CPU and see what happens.

Thought I'd give an update FWIW for anyone who might get into the bootloop hell no matter what you try.

I went back to FastRX8 as recommended by IKnowSquat step 5Z and did the following:

Unzipped the flash_image, mtd-eng.img, and recovery.img to the SD card again. Went in to ADB and did following cmds

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
It rebooted in to recovery and showed as "No Build Set" (no custom recovery yet) so I had straight Android recovery. From there I nand restored my last good setup.

It rebooted fine, put everything back where it should be. I then went to ROM Manager and did my Clockwork flash and Alternate RA recovery. To test then I quick booted into recovery and was in the custom RA. Flashed net kernal 4.18 and rebooted....everything went smoothly, even without doing wipes.

I'm hopeful that I'm "fixed" but who knows...fingers crossed and underwear changed :)

nope clean install of the omj rom than after it reboots flash the wimax update only

still

Check Firwmare Version (4.6.2.2v25641_) ........ 4.6.2.2v25641_

i used to have the stock 2.2 rom than i rooted it by going back to 2.1. used unrevoked 3 than flashed omj's and the baseband updates fine its the wmax that refuses to update. even though I do get 4g still off the 25461

@JELIVE-sweet, let us know how it goes.

The firmware issue I mentioned should not be a factor in this case.
If your 4G works this all may be a moot point, you may be fine as is.
It is recommended that you flash ROM/Radio/wimax in that order.
You can run new radio/old wimax obviously but it's recommended to keep everything up to date.
If it is important to you, you could try a reflash in the order I described with a full reboot between each file.

He'll hafta answer that one but in my experience chefs leave the radios alone.

I changed my mind on the firmware cause.
I don't know how unrevoked works but if it knocks you back to an older OS then you could still need the firmware updates that v1.7 provides....if you still cant update that is.

Of course we can remove anything we dont want in there ourselves.

yeah, I'm struggling to find a good reason to update....I know there's been requests to add apps2sd & kingklick's kernel but if you already added, then there's not much to update. I look at updated ROMs for ppl that may be coming from stock or another ROM.

Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.2 Custom ROM v3.0 | FroYo 3.26.651.6 | *Updated 8/13/10*

Yeah app2sd please...
