[Q] Super user help [Solved]

I rooted my 2.2 yesterday and lost usb charging and usb connection. I bought a sdcard reader and installed the pc36img file and reflashed my rom. When I rooted I did unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever. After flashing pc36img I rerooted with unrevoked3 and still show s-off on unrevoked forever. I did the OTA 2.2 update and lost root, I was able to flash clockwork mod. I am trying to get super user privilages back, so I did a nan backup and downloaded a few different roms. when I try to flash any rom i get stuck in a reboot loop. any help on what to do about loop problem or how I can get super user back would be awesome. thank you. :/

Did you do a factory / cache / dalvik wipe before flashing the custom ROMs?

help im stuck on htc evo screen logo and i cant restore

i was on Calkulin's_EViO_2_ROM_v1.8 and i rebooted to recovery to restore back to cm7 rc4 but it gives me error error while flashing image. so i try to wipe and reinstall another rom and works but it still stuck in htc logo.

Are you performing a full wipe, factory/data, cache, and dalvik?

yes i performing full wipe and everything im uisng clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5. did those and install a rom but still stuck in logo screen and i cant restore i made few backup and none them work!?

Have you tried going into the bootloader, select clear storage [factory reset], then flash the rom? Also are you flashing a kernel?

im just flashing regular rom on using clockworkmod. ived done this flashing roms many times and never happen like this before.

Well at this point, it seems like your old backup may be corrupted. Make a new backup, and then try to restore it.

how i do backup when i already delet wipe already so i jsut need to install another rom and do backup and restore it?

Correct, make a backup of your current, flash a new rom, then try and restore.

ok i install Calkulin's_EViO_2_ROM_v1.8 agian backup and try restore but it gives me boot image error same thing.

i had a similar issue. my phone wouldnt even boot past the splash screen but i was able to correct that by flashing the stock evo ruu in hboot from my sd card then reflashing a custom rom over that. im not sure if you have to re-root but in my case i had to run unrevoked again. i had to reflash at least 4 times before my issue resolved but havent had any issues since

can you show me the steps and what i need?

1. Go into recovery, select backup, backup current rom
2. Wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik cache under advanced
3. Flash a new rom, let it boot up, go back to recovery, backup that rom
4. Restore previous backup just made

You can install the official RUU upddate from sprint then download the newest HTC SYNC to your computer then plug in the phone thru the usb and run the RUU file as if you are running an app. Remember this will delete everything includidn your root but you can easily re-root with unrevoked. Hope that helps? I had that problem on my incredible and I did this and it fixed it.

That's a separate partition, that is okay, since you don't have it, no ened to worry about it.

to unroot do i need 2.2 version to unroot?

If you're on hboot 2.10, you'll need a 3.70 ruu.

im sorry please show me how to unroot my phone since i cant boot up im on bootloader.

Use Sprint Lovers ROM the PC36IMG.zip version put on root of sdcard go into bootloader, update, reboot there you go. No re-root needed. I ALWAYS keep this on my sdcard root just in case. Trust me it saved my EVO more than once. You will lose everything but better lost info than lost phone. Try RA Recovery...better than any IMHO

its not a real error, mmcblk0p2 is optional, its a second partition with linux format on the SDCard

Try wipe cache and data after the install. It not Flash T-Mobile 2.2.1 stock
I had the same problem, and it was solved by
flashing T-mobile 2.2.1 stock (link found in xda).
However a later thought (without proof) is that
you should wipe both cache and data AFTER the
installation of the new ROM and this might help.
Please update.

Can't install any ROM?!?

I tried to update my CM7.1 nightly and all of a sudden I can't. It says on Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 "Installing update... Installation aborted". I tried 3 different ROMS, not all from cyanogenmod, and I get the same results. I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, everything several times and nothing is working. I tried going through ROM manager and just through recovery, no luck. Any suggestions?

Try backing up your sdcard to a pc, and then format it fat32. Then redownload a rom and try flashing it. Or to test try flashing a rom from the emmc instead of sd.

Tried both of these with no luck. After formatting it says there was an error and to make sure I have 4.0+, which I do.

Did you format the sd thru recovery or with your pc? You should do it with your pc.
When you say make sure you have 4.0+, are you refering to the clockwork version?
Try reflashing clockwork thru hboot.

This happened to me once when installing a rom with Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0, so what I did was reinstalled version 3.0.0.8 and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps.

no luck after flashing. any thing else? i really need a working phone

Do an ruu either thru hboot with a PB31IMG.zip or with the windows exe.

I did all wipes except dalvik cache, because when I open that option the recovery goes back to the initial menu again.
and what about the backup thing?

you need to revert filesystem back to rfs(i am working for a convert tool but need some time,so you'd better follow the guide)
