Guys,
My Evo says Froyo 2.2 is avail for download when I check HTC Updates... I hit accept, it downloads, then asks if I want to install NOW... I HIT YES, and it takes me to the boot loader page, THEN DOES NOTHING.. It doesn't boot into recovery mode like it is supposed to, and it just sits on the Boot loader screen, NO TRIANGLE, NO BAR on the bottom showing the progress, IT JUST SITS THERE on the boot loader page with the 3 Androids on the bottom... I have already tried to hard reset the phone, BUT that didn't work... PLEASE HELP !!! Is there a way to HARD reset my EVO BACK to BEFORE ALL OF THE UPDATES??? IS THERE A WAY TO Force boot into recovery to apply the "update.zip" ??? Please advise...
Mine did'nt go no where near the bootloader screen...
I hit the download...then it just installed like any other app...except it brought me to a bar progress page a couple of times. Then the phone rebooted and whala...froyo.
I must say this...I was previosly rooted but unrooted to do it!!!
Are you rooted or unrooted to start off with?
Was rooted, but then I did the "update of June 29th" and ruined ALL of my fun... Is there even a way for me to root my phone now??? How do I get it to go into recovery?
Same issue
My EVO ISN'T ROOTED, and I'm having the same exact problem
You're hosed root wise until someone cracks the rom, if they crack the rom. Most likely you'll need to update to the official version once HTC releases an upgrade as they claimed they would eventually do on Twitter.
im not trying to root my phone, i just want froyo
right, I WAS rooted, the update in JUNE fixed that for me =(... NOW I just want FROYO which is available from Sprint/HTC OTA, it just wont install?????????? I think I can install it as an update.zip if I could get my phone into RECOVERY mode... When at the bootloader, if I hit Recovery, it just boots back to the BOOT LOADER????
I would suggest using this unroot program and make sure you use the 1.47 one because there are 3 different roms. This is what I did as I had the june update as you. This will guarantee that you have the right stock rom and are not rooted. Then try the update again...
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
This is the route I took and was just like you...I had no probs this way!
This is a great recommendation, but I haven't done any ROOT or ROMing to my phone since I've owned it, I've stayed true to the true image they released, and I'm not comfortable downgrading it to some other image that wasn't on the phone. I attempted to do the instructions outlined and I was unable to get pas the stage of pushing the:
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459
to the phone. It says USB error, and I have debugging mode enabled.

I RE-Loaded this version, as the other "older" versions would not work (re-loaded, as this is what I already HAD on my phone)... It wiped the system, and ALL of my info/apps (make sure you back up) and then I was able to do the Froyo Update... YES !!!! Thanks...

I did the same, thank you !
No prob...have fun!!!
Froyo Update Won't Install
To start off - I have never rooted my evo - my phone is running Android 2.1 update 1 supersonic - and I did not try to do the "pre-release" update put out by HTC. Since late last night, I have been trying to install Froyo through system updates (settings, system updates, htc software update). I am able to download the upgrade, which is about 80 MB, but for some reason the update will not install. When I click install now, my phone restarts in the bootloader. If I click on fastboot, it searches for an image on my SD card but can't find one. If I hit recovery, it just returns me to the main bootloader screen. The only thing I can do is reboot or shut down my phone. When my phone boots back up, it says the update is downloaded and ready to be installed. I have tried redownloading the update but the same thing happens. Any help would be appreciated, preferable without losing contacts and apps. I'm trying to save a factory reset for a last resort.
Thanks,
Nick
Nick,
Please read the earlier posts, and follow the link from Cardiox... He said the following...

Then read my posts, and you will see that I had the SAME problem you are having, and this worked for me... I posted the thread... It is pretty easy if you follow the instructions... Let me know if it works for you... Good luck !!!

I am not a genius by no means thus I am only sharing info that I have from personal trial and error. If you are going to a bootloader screen during this update process and your SD card is mounted then you most likely will need to bite the bullet and either do a factory reset or follow the link instructions so given. For some reason this update can not find the original factory code or RUU that it is trying to update. Sounds like your SD card is mounted but it can't find it...I would strongly consider just starting over with that link program. It does not root you it just puts you back square one with factory code. Then the update will have something to build off of...which you apparently don't have for whatever reason.
Ok, this is what I needed to know. I'm backing up my stuff with bitpim and will just do this. Thanks for all the help and the speedy responses!

Hi all.
I'll start by saying I have gotten in way over my head. I rooted my Evo with unrEVOked's one-click method, and then began to experience some problems with my 3g. Thinking I had somehow botched the rooting process, I tried to unroot using the two-step method I also found on xda (cannot post link.. further proof I am a noob ). More problems sprang up, one thing led to another, various fixes were tried (HUGE thanks to everyone in the IRC channel last night that tried to help my sorry ass..) but to no avail.
Here is where my phone is at now: booting using vol down+power shows me S-ON. Trying to flash mtd-eng.zip results in an error, so I am seemingly stuck with S-ON. Normally I would be happy about this (that's one step closer to unrooted, right?) but I notice I still have Superuser in my apps. My 3g is working again for whatever reason (no complaints here! maybe it was a Sprint-side problem in my area.. what timing!) but I'm confused as to whether my phone is rooted or not.
Ideally, I would like to go back to unrooted, since I have made it abundantly clear to myself that I am not yet prepared to embark in rooting. If anyone could guide me in the right direction, I would be very thankful.
You no longer have root access. Nothing you do at this point will allow you to run a .img on your own.
Your best bet would be to try and run one of the RUU programs to get it all back to stock.
I don't know if the Superuser application will be removed by this but you can try it:
Go to Settings>SD & Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset
Your phone should reboot and may have erased the Superuser app.

I did this, and my phone is now in RA-evo-v1.8.0 (it rebooted into recovery). Should I reboot the system now? I find it strange that it took me here in the first place.
The current PC36IMG that is flashed to the Evo is one with Amon Ra built into it.
The only RUU program that I am allowed to run (from the list that was given out in one of the unrooting evo threads) gives me the 170 error before anything happens.
You don't have root access, but your phone still has a custom recovery (Amon_RA) right now. No way to get rid of the custom recovery now except through an official update that replaces the recovery file.
Like I said you can try to run one of the RUU Official updates found in the Developer forum.
Don't know your location, but if you post it, someone close to you might try to help you out in person.

With a little digging and poking and reading, I found the proper RUU, ran it, and I believe I am now back to fully unrooted. Thank you very much for your help!
I tried installing a rom for cyanogenmod 11 onto my device, the one at this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526313
and now my phone is totally messed up. The radios seem to be completely messed up now. I've reflashed cm 10.2, I reflashed the stock rom (or as close as I could get, one of the odexed roms off of here), but nothing I do seems to work. The only thing I can think is to reflash all of the radios and stuff, but I don't really know how. I know about flashing the img files through fastboot, but I can't ever get fastboot to actually work due to crappy driver problems. What should I do? I really love this phone.

I am on CM 11 so Idk how it messed up your radios but I'm pretty sure a factory reset in HBOOT would fix it.

I have the same issue. I can only get 4G Data. It seems like the CDMA Radio won't work at all. I have tried the SIM in another phone and everything works well. But it will sometimes have 4G Data for an hour then drop it and the Operator is Unknown. And other times it will go out after just a few minutes.
I have went back to Stock Radio and everything and it is still messed up.

That seems to be exactly what's happening to me. I can only get lte, I can't make calls, I can't get calls, I can't send texts. I thought that i'd fixed it when I flashed to stock rom, but it was exactly the same.
I'm more than willing to go back to full stock, if that's what it takes. I have a backup phone to use in the meantime, but I just got this thing less than two months ago, and I don't want an extended contract on behalf of a paperweight.
Could I restore from someone else's nandroid backup, or would that cause more problems?
Silly question but, did you change from global to cdma/Lte?

Do I access ruu through fastboot? I have a windows 8.1 based computer, and I seem to be entirely unable to get working fastboot working. I have a linux partition, but I wasn't able to get the android sdk installed trough normal means, and I ended up using a method I found on here that gave me all of the fastboot and adb commands, but I am entirely unable to find the directory I'm supposed to put the files to flash into.
I'm having the exact same problem...I get everything except the ability to make calls... Went back to my totally stock rooted rom backup and the same damn thing is happening..
We need an encrypted ROM and S-ON like everyone else..
Also, whenever I see my device in fastboot mode on linux, it shows my device name as "nopermissions" or something similar. I used rumrunner's s-off, and the bootloader says m7_WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF RH on the first line.

Well first you need to download the ruu and put it in you fastboot folder and the you can use the certain commands for flashing an ruu.
If I flash the stock recovery and factory reset from inside of hboot, will that return me to stock?

I can't download the ruu. I keep getting network errors.
currently downloading PN017IMG_M7_1.10.605.8.zip from an alternate link in the [RUU] thread. I'll try to find a computer that doesn't run windows 8.1 or ubuntu or make make racist jokes at parties to complete the flashing procedure once it is downloaded.
I was able to fix this thanks to ackmke back on the 4.4 rom page. I reinstalled cm 10.2 and kept playing with the RUIM/SIM select until it let me use the CDMA for data/voice/SMS. Sometimes I'll never understand android.
So I think I just bricked my phone... I tried to update my phone by reinstalling the stock recovery as per this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPPT5J8xG6w
After updating, the phone got stuck on the error screen. I was able to go back into recovery and go back to the home screen. After some googling, I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ota-lollipop-update-fails-red-triangle-t3015597
So I followed the steps and unrooted my phone and tried again. After the update, my phone won't go past the splash screen. I tried going into recovery and wiping the phone and rebooting, but it never gets past the splash screen. Help please!

How would I flash and RUU? And where can I find a Rogers RUU? I can only find US/Europe RUUs. Please bear with me, I'm new to all this, but I'm trying to read as much as I can.

I'm trying method 2 as per SneakyGhost's FUU guide, but my computer is not detecting my phone despite it showing up in the "Safety Remove Hardware and Eject Media" tab (Android 1.0). In addition, the phone is showing FASTBOOT USB when connected. Stuck at a standstill right now.
Just an update on the situation, maybe this will help someone in the future - Progress so far - I was able to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 as instructed a guide on the Android forums (I wish I could post links!).
Working on getting a rom to flash onto it now... I think I'm getting close...

Fido, but my CID is Rogers001 (same network, probably that's why).
I used this thread as reference.
Downloaded the 3.34.631.4 - TWRP Recovery Nandroid from the CID Rogers001 part. Here's a direct link to the Nandroid backup.
From there, I unzipped the file and then transferred it to my M8 using my SD card (you can also push it straight to the device if using fastboot). I used the file manager in TWRP to move it into my backup folder (TWRP > Backup > Serial Number) in TWRP and then restored it.
Let me know if you've got any other questions. Seems to be working for me right now.

Seems like amazing news. Hopefully this works. Apparently after this is done the OTA has to be applied? Is that your next step? Will you be flashing a rom after your firmware is updated?

Right now, just going to keep things as is. I'm in a location with pretty spotty internet, so downloading 1+ GB ROMs isn't that easy. Probably just keep it so that I can use my device and then tinker on it when I'm back at home. I was notified that the Android 5.0.1 update is available for download, but right now I'm holding off doing anything else.
I'm just glad I got it back to working order now.
Here's what I got told to do:
If you want to properly update your firmware via FUU, you have to get to a stock rooted rom, stock recovery, s-off using Sunshine, apply the SuperCID mod, and then update your firmware. After that, reinstall TWRP and whatever modern rom.

After doing all this, I tried updating the phone from the Rogers pushed update. Unfortunately, that pushed me back to step 1, where the phone wouldn't boot up, so I had to start from scratch. Now that I have SuperCID, I'm going to try to apply a stock OTA from another carrier. Wish me luck!
So I started from scratch and the Rogers update just doesn't want to work. Every time it updates, it would show the red HTC error icon. I ended up taking the update off the phone's internal memory, as it could still boot, and pushing it via Method 2 seen in this guide as a reference. After pushing flashing (it took two times), the update finally installed, BUT it STILL GOT STUCK AT THE DAMN BOOT SCREEN.
At this point, I got frustrated and went straight to flashing a custom ROM as per the instructions given here. After long moments of waiting, it finally started installing. Very important to note, but I got stuck at the AROMA installer at the "Please Wait" screen. After pressing the power button and vol up, the got out of that screen and continued to install. Now I have a custom ROM, updated firmware and SENSE 7.0! Amazing. I hope that this post helps you in what you'll have to do next!
I blame Rogers for pushing out s***ty updates. But consider this problem SOLVED.
Hey all,
Fairly new to custom roms, so hopefully I'm asking a legit question. My phone is a D855, currently on DU 10.3. I wanted to upgrade to the 10.4, doing a clean install, but I seemingly cannot wipe anything. TWRP (using 3.0.2) will give an error message: failed to mount \[...]. Interestingly, flashify labels the recovery as Stock, so maybe there is a connection.
I have been doing some googling/"xda-ing" and as it seems, going back to stock can help. BUT, for one, I hope that there's an easier way, and also I would like to know what's causing this issue. Maybe it can be avoided somehow? So maybe someone can help me with that?
Cheers.
Just going to add a few more specific questions. As I am rather unexperienced, I don't want just to try things out without a confirmation that it's safe to go:
- TWRP: can I just try and reflash the newest one via flashify? Or maybe recover an old backup and update? Might it solve the issue and is it safe to go?
- If I have to revert back to stock: I'm coming from stock MM -> root -> Dirty Unicorns. Can I revert back to MM directly using that LG up method, or would you rather recommend flashing Lollipop, if I want to root again anyways? There seems to be a plethora of options for flashing stock (MM to MM, MM to LP, LP to MM, ...) and I am not sure which one applies here...
Hey. I had similar problem with my ls990. And tried all means to fix. Twrp was not mounting the system and sometimes internal storage appears as 0mb. It was so frustrating. So i resorted back to stock. But why flashing stock i got hooked at 98% and since then i was not able to do anything. My phone hardbricked.
Ugh, great prospects. :\
Really hope I can sort this out. At least, my phone is running fine so far, so no need to hurry. Glad for any idea!

Wait. Let me understand you well. U can boot up phone? U mean the only issue is you not able to flash anything via recovery right?
Oh, forgot to mention explicitly that the phone is still running fine. So yeah - I just cannot wipe and thus cannot flash anything. So for now, I am stuck with the rom I am on, unless I find a solution to the problem.
