i was going between ROMS trying out different versions. then i installed Vision BaconBits 0.3 on a Modaco DESIRE Z rom (i know, i know) & now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
then i noticed i couldn't revert back to the stock ROM like i've done before. i wiped & tried again, but to no avail.
says MAIN VERSION is older or something like that.
i even tried the Modaco ROM again too, but nada. it fails.
oh yeah... and for some reason i got S-ON again. i'm like wtf?
so... did i brick my phone? or is there a way to get it going again?
btw, i did install ClockworkMod Recovery for G2 & did a back up before i tried out the DESIRE Z ROM.

it sounds like your phone is screwed!if there truly is no way to fix this return it for hinge issues or something,even pop the hinge if you have to lol
Try to get into clock work wipe if you can the system should try to reinstall stock , or see if you have adb access and then you can go from there . Good luck

So your not able to Volume Down + Power and get into clockwork still? If so then why couldnt you just restore the backup you made.

i can def do the Volume Down + Power. how does that get me in to CWM?
I'm still new to this so take my advice with a grain of salt but I think that "Main version is older issue" can be avoided by using the hex editor to change the build number on the ROM. Try changing the version with the hex editor as per this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398
and then try to flash it. Hopefully thats all you need to do.
pull the battery, wait a couple seconds and put back in. now hold the volume down button and press power. the phone will boot into fastboot. use volume down key to select recovery and hit the power button to confirm. if CW is still on your phone it will load, if you have s-on idk if it will load without su privilages or not im not a dev but try it.
edit: i have soft bricked my g1 like 10 times, the main thing to remember is backup, wipe wiPE WIPE! and follow instructions to a T.

If you can get vol dwn + pwr to work, then you can scroll to recovery. from there, you should be able to restore your backup from rom manager. If it's not in that one, then hold trackpad button + power and scroll to recovery.
if you can get into the clockwork recovery and can successfully get adb to recognize the phone, try the downgrade from OTA. it will restore your phone back to out of the box.

I can understand your hesitation but if you read through the post you will see that many people have tested it and it should work fine. At this point its the only way to downgrade to stock due to the "Main version is older" issue and, assuming you truly can't access clockwork recovery, I don't see what other method there is. Whats really got me twisted is the S-on part; I could've predicted some issue by flashing BB onto the Z rom but I wouldn't have seen that coming. Is it even possible to flash anything while S-on is enabled?
maybe you can use an offical update.zip that is signed. i dunno

Hmmm...then you didn't install the CWM recovery. You should try to flash the rom that shipped with the phone. You can get it here. To do that, you need to get it onto your memory card as update.zip, then boot to recovery and choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and then you should have a bootable phone again.

don't get me wrong, i feel u. i may have no choice but to try that. i'm getting desperate.
however, the current ROM loaded is the Modaco DESIRE Z w/the Vision BaconBits 0.3 updated to it... and after that, it kept boot looping. plus the fact that i have S-ON.

I was stuck in the same boat as you were. I had a stock rom permarooted and messed up editting on of the /system/ files. and got stuck with endless reboot. i then flashed this: [ROM] Desire Z Sense on the G2 (via HBOOT) because it was the only rom out at the time. It successfully loaded, but i wanted to go back to stock. i then flashed the OTB rom and got stuck with a desire z rom with s-on. No other rom would flash so i proceeded to temp-root and do the downgrade from OTA.
You lost root. Have to install the PC10.img and re-root.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
But in order to edit the files necessary to flash down to the stock ROM, he needs to have at least temp root so he can pull and edit the misc.img (I think). If he has S-on and is stuck in a boot loop, how can he access visionary or terminal emulator in order to set up that temp root? I think that's the biggest issue unless I'm missing something.
Shouldn't the stock rom have everything that's needed? Plus it's signed so it should flash with s-on.
I flashed the most recent ClockworkMod to my phone using ROM manager so I could do a ROM backup, and now my phone will not go into recovery mode. When I get into the boot menu and try to go into recovery, it goes into the splash screen and stays there.
Has anyone else had this happen with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.3? It took my phone quite a while to boot after that, and it put me into panic mode for a good moment.
I'll be flashing Amon_RA now to do my backup/ROM flashing. The latest updates to ClockworkMod keep doing crazy, crazy things to my poor EVO. Has anyone else experienced this?
YES! I was flashing a rom earlier tonight with the latest clockwork from rom manager and it messed up everything. Tried a bunch of different things. Still hangs on splash screen. How long did you have to wait?
yes also nothing wanted to flash had to go back to clockwm.. 2.5.0 where everything was petfect lol

same here, went to flash a few zips and installations kept aborting. just flashed amon ra and no problems now. hopefully they fix whatever happened to clockworkmod before ppl go crazy lol
my evo is doing that as i type this, i will definitely be switching to amon ra (as soon as my evo stops freaking out) until it gets fixed.

I used the ClockworkMod from unrevoked
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
place the appropriate file on the root of the sdcard using a card reader and boot into HBOOT.
I got out of it by crossing my fingers and doing a battery pull, then booting normally. Thankfully it worked, so I had the chance to use ROM Manager to flash Amon_RA, but I can't guarantee it would work for everyone's.
hope this helps some one I went to appmarket and romanager and uninstalled update then went to app to flash back to older version 2.5

I hope so too. At this point I'd probably recommend that everyone with trouble either go back to 2.5 or even suggest switching to Amon_RA... nothing but problems with 3.0. !
Hey, I got a soft brick so I'm going to use the unroot method here but I just wanted to make sure it would work.
S-OFF, Hboot 2.1
Also, I'll still be able to root and go back to an old nandroid if this all works out, correct?
It should work. Yes, you will be able to re-root and restore a nandroid once you have completed everything again.
Might throw out your issue first, to see if someone can help you fix without having to go through all that work of unrooting and re-rooting again.
Let's hope so. I'm knocking on wood that I won't have to throw my EVO down some stairs and go get a new one.
Firstly, it is unclear (at least to me) what you mean by "soft brick". Secondly, the link you posted is to a thread that is outdated and was retired by the OP. Or did you mean this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
To answer your second question, with S-off you can just go into recovery, do a wipe and then restore your NAND back-up from there. Try just wiping the cache and dalvik cache before restoring. If your phone still gives you problems, you may need to do a full wipe and do a fresh install of your favorite rom.
Ok things are more complicated than I had originally implied.
I can't boot into recovery--still SOFF but when I try to get into recovery I'm getting the red triangle.
Should I try the fix broken recovery option?

Now we're getting somewhere. Yes, if you can get the recovery to work, it will make the process less difficult for you. Can you boot normally? If so, use ROM Manager to flash the recovery on it. If it doesn't boot into clockwork, try using ROM Manager to flash an alternate recovery (Amon RA) and then try booting into recovery.
If your phone doesn't boot at all, you're going to have to push the recovery image onto the phone via fastboot adb. Worse case scenario would be to run the RUU and start over.

Yeah, no dice on getting it to boot. Stick on the HTC EVO 4G white screen and goes nowhere. I got into this mess trying to apply the GPS fix for CM7 and when i tried to nandroid back I got loopy loops.
So should I just use the recovery fix listed there or can I just download CM 3.0.0.5 and push that via fastboot? All my nandroids are via CM.

I would download Amon recovery and flash that via adb; I recommend staying away from clockwork - read about too many users running into issues with it, especially that 3.0.0.5 version.

I would suggest using Amon Ra recovery. I like it better, and personally have had far less issues with it. Attatched is a PC36IMG of Amon Ra 2.3. Put it on the main directory of your SD card, name it exactly PC36IMG, and boot to bootloader, and select yes to update. That should flash Amon Ra's V2.3 recovery for you. If it's successful, see if it works. The only problem with this, that I see, is you wouldn't be able to restore your previous clockwork backups. However, if that did go successful, and you were able to boot into a rom, you could use ROM manager to flash clockwork back, then you could restore your backups. Hope you get it booted up.
EDIT: If you do end up needing to unroot, just remember that if you initially used unrevoked to root, or used unrevoked forever at any time, you're not going to be able to turn S on without having a custom recovery. Becase as far as I know, you need to flash the Unrevoked S on tool in recovery if you used unrevoked to begin with. Otherwise S is permanently off.

Yea, try the recovery fix. If unsuccessful getting CW to flash, remember you can always try to flash Amor RA recovery just to be able to wipe and flash a working rom. Once you get the phone to boot, you can download ROM manager, flash clockwork and then restore to your CW NAND that is stored on your SD card. I've had to do this in the past.
Thanks EVERYONE! Come to the DC area and the beer is on me (or if you're a mobile dev and want a job, hit me up)
Worked like a charm.
PS I copied down the error message I got when it was trying to install, wondering if I should be worried about this:
Microp OK
Radio_v2 FAIL pu
everything else OK
Bootloader FAIL ic
I renamed my recovery file and everything loaded up fine, just wondering if I should be worried about any of that

Really not sure. That goes beyond my scope of trial and error knowledge.
Well thanks anyway.
Looks like booting back into CWM is no longer an option for me--everything defaults to Amon_RA (even when trying to switch through ROM manager). Guess I can't load my old nandroids so I'm stuck rebuilding.
Oh well...worse things could have happened.

So choosing 'flash clockworkmod recovery' from rom manager doesnt work for you? weird. Try letting it flash, and then instead of rebooting to recovery from within rom manager, boot to recovery manually, from teh bootloader. see if that works.

Seemed to be an issue with ROM Manager. So weird--I'm so used to everyone over in Heroland swearing by CWM. I'm glad I'm back to a spot where RA is king.
Anyway I uninstalled ROM manager and am just not going to screw with it anymore. GB has a "reboot to recovery" option for a reason.

I installed the Virtuous Unity V1.31 rom and I didn't like the way the "Email" app worked to I installed "tools_gapps-gb-20110307-signed". I still didn't like the way this rom was working so I tried to go back into recovery and I get get on the HTC boot logo. I have to pull out the battery to make restart. The phone works fine, but I can't get into Clockwork to restore my backup. Does anyone know how I can get back into recovery? The weird thing is i can backup this rom from Rom manager perfectly, but can't restore (gets stuck on the boot screen).
Did you recenlty update cwm? I know a few people were having problems after upgrading. Take the battery out, put it back in and hold volume down+power to enter the bootloader and see if you are able to get to recovery that way.

one similar thread was close, but no cigar....so here goes
EVO 4G rooted Unrevoked with amon ra 2.3, phone has been working just great since November, only thing I have done to it is flash some Roms, right now its running the Express RC1, I tried flashing the latest version of Express but it wouldnt take, but thats another story.
I was planning on flashing to another ROM so I connected the phone to PC and copied folders from sd card to PC folder, then I went into recovery and was going to backup again but with nandroid, and saw that the recovery menu prompts were different than what I normally see on other phones I work on, which I use Amon Ra 3.11, SO.. I decided to "upgrade" to the 3.11, so I rebooted to bootloader, then fastboot, went to command prompt and sent the flash of recovery.img to the phone, it said it was completed and I went to switch to recovery and it hung up on the splash screen.
After waiting for too long I pulled the battery and tried again, same problem, so I pulled it again and tried flashing it with Android Flasher, same thing, no luck. I did some searching and looked into ROM manager, but that only works with Clockwork, and I have Amon Ra.
I've tried periodically these same steps over again and cannot get it flashed, nor can get into recovery, getting to the bootloader is fine, booting the phone is fine, and works fine, but recovery just wont do.
I have also read that I could just upload an RUU and install that, but that would eliminate the nandroid, and as last resort will do it, but is there some other way I can get to recovery?
Edit: regarding clockwork, could I also install clockwork thru ROM manager, then come around and install amon ra? sounds like I could but...?

You should try that, that's easier way for you. Then flash amon ra properly. Always check md5 sum of download, the file could have been corrupted.
