Can you access recovery via the hboot menu?
If not, have you tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot?
Also, and this would help the most, how did that happen? I mean: did something go wrong while flashing some zip or radio? Please explain a bit further so it can be easier to help you out...

Cant access recovery it just gives me the white htc screen
I havent tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot because I dont know how, how do ya do it?
And as to how it happened I was using unrevoked to flash amonra recovery it and it was "rebooting" but then it said an error about couldnt write to misc or something and the phone was stuck on htc white screen, tried rebooting and nothing, recovery nothing.
So yh i think flashing a new recovery will do the trick, linky to a guide?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I see...well imho flashing a new recovery could do the trick for you.
First of all let me know this: have you got s-off? If so you can use fastboot commander to flash it, very easy and fast.

s-off? hmm dunno lol
I originally rooted using goldcard method and flashed the rooted zip then many different roms since. recently used unrevoked to get clockworkmod recovery which was working fine and flashed a new rom and then tried unrevoked again to get amonra but then i got to this situation
Hope this helps

Get the RUU your Desire came with and go back to that. Then start again

I have s-on and tried ruu's but failed as have no working goldcard and i have 1.21 on phone and the voda ruu that my phone came with is 1.19
Ive tried the PB99IMG.zip method but that just shows main version higher error is there a way to trick this stage?

I'd just stick to using a stock WWE ROM until the 2.10.161.2 RUU shows up (if at all)

whats the diff between RUU and PB99*.zip? I have the same problem also. Cant access clockworkmod.
Im thinking of flashing it again using PB99 in hboot then root again. Or how can we flash the recovery?

No difference, just that an RUU needs Windows. Both wipe the phone and reset it back to 'out the box'

I see so I can flash PB99 in HBOOT(transfer pb99 to sdcard) then root again?
Or is there another way I can access the recovery or flash the recovery?
Thanks

Just flash the zip from hboot and then root again with unrevoked. Then set the phone up again as it'll be wiped

Thanks! It worked. I'll root it using unrevoked then, how do I make that clockworkmod recovery permanent or something?

When you use unrEVOked it flashes Clockwork Mod as your recovery so it'll be permanent (unless you unroot again)

This might work for of you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

you got the error of a higher main version because you did not have a GOLDCARD.

YAY!!! :-D :-D :-D
Managed to fix it!!!
Managed to create a goldcard using my girlfriends ipad clone which runds android then just flashed an ruu :-D
Really happy now!

Hi there.
Sorry to jump in on your thread but wondered if you can help. Have the same problem as you and can't create a goldcard as I can't boot up my phone. Could I use a clone of your goldcard if you were kind enough to email it to me or would that not work?
Thanks,
Matt

Im afraid each goldcard has a specific cid used to create the goldcard
My advice is to borrow another android phone/device with sd slot and use it to get your cid. Theres a handy program on the market to get your cid for you, just search for goldcard on market when your sd is inserted.
When you have the cid go on the internet and get your goldcard image. Put ur sd in your comp and do a full format as fat32 and use hxd to turn it into a goldcard.
Thats how I did it! :-D

I NEED HELP: [Q] S-ON and phone boot loops... did i brick my phone?

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

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.

in RECOVERY i don't see ROM MANAGER. just the standard:
Rebooty system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition

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.

oh that sucks
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.

If everything has been idle for a few minutes, I would first try running unrevoked again, right from the screen with the triangle (that's recovery screen, you just don't have a custom recovery yet). If that fails, then shut the phone off and boot to the bootloader. See if its S off or S on. If its S off, you just need to flash a recovery. If it's S on, I would RUU and then try Unrevoked again. Let us know if its S off or S on.

showed s-off, but then i tried rebooting to recovery and red arrow, then turned off, booted to bootloader and red arrow, then waited a few mins and then phone booted up to system

If you have rom manager on the phone now, try opening it and clicking "Flash Clockwork Recovery."

unrevoked is still staying at waiting for system to settle, why is this? it usually goes away after like 30 seconds.

Okay, you just need to install recovery. As jlstafford said, if you use rom manager, select flash recovery. If that gives you trouble (depends if unrevoked got Super User installed before it failed), then u need to flash a PC36IMG of recovery. Let us know.

Just be patient with it for a few minutes. I've had that take af ew minutes before. Also, something could be interfering with it, such as anti virus, pda net, doubletwist, htc sync, etc. Who knows. The bottom line is that if you're S off already, you really don't need to run unrevoked again. You can finish it yourself, manually. Put this PC36IMG(amon ra 2.3) on the root of your sd card. Boot to your bootloader. Let it update, by selecting volume up. WHen it finishes, boot to recovery. You should now have recovery. From that point, wipe and flash a rom if desired.

Download the file I just attatched . Put it on the main directory of your sd card, not in any folders. Don't rename it, just download it and put it on hte card. When it's on your card, pull your battery out. Put the battery back in, then hold volume down and power button. You should get to the bootloader, and it should wait a few seconds, then scan the card, find the PC36IMG, and ask you to update. Select yes when it asks you. Then when it asks you to reboot, select NO. Then from the bootloader menu, select recovery. What happens? DO you get to recovery successfully now?
EDIT: and this is assuming you are indeed S off. You said you were S off, for sure right?

I was trying to get him to flash a recovery not in bootloader, since it seemed like he couldn't get to hboot or recovery. Although, he may be able to now.

after unrevoked reboots SU is not in the app drawer like it usually is

Right, I agreed with you on that, and suggested that he use ROM Manager to flash recovery as well. However then his next response was that he was trying to use Unrevoked again. He must be able to get to the bootloader, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see if he was S on or S off. Also, depending how far Unrevoked got before it failed, it may or may not have installed the Super User App. If it didn't get that far, he probably won't be able to use ROM Manager, as it wont be granted SU. If that's the case, a PC36IMG should work, and isn't hard, as long as your volume buttons and power buttons function!

I was concerned of that. If you are S off, please download the PC36IMG I attatched and follow the instructions. It should work man, as long as that bootloader is S off. Have you tried that yet? What was the result? The critical part you are missing right now is Recovery. If you can get recovery, you can then flash a rom, which will have Super User app and busybox included anyways. You just need recovery.

I got it, it was a bad download of unrevoked.
stupid thing

[Q] lookin for some help

so here is the deal. i have an evo that is having some problems.
i have ran the RUU and got the thing updated to the latest OTA.
i am not rooted and cant flash a recovery at all.
Currently the bootloader is S-OFF and and all. when i try and get into the recovery i cant get there it just gives me a red triangle and phone in the background. i cant flash a recovery from fastboot. it tells me that its not allowed. i have tried unrevoked recovery flasher to no avail.
can someone point me in the right direction to get a recovery on my phone.
HW Version 3
hboot 2.10.0001
S-Off

Use unrevoked 3,,it will install recovery for you as well as reroot

Make sure in settings that usbdebug is checked,also check for non market apps install,,then run unrevoked again,,
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

As far as I know, you place the PC36IMG.zip (named exactly as such, too, making sure you aren't naming it .zip.zip, as well) in the root of your SD card and load into your bootloader. From there, it will automatically detect the file within a few moments of loading up into your bootloader and you select the appropriate steps, given the on-screen instructions, to flash the PC36IMG file, which will be your recovery.

i have tried the PC36IMG.zip and unrevoked says that it failed to flash the recovery and i got the debugging and non-market apps down.

one other thing. the phone like to random reboot. it will just reboot with no warning after just a few min of use and will stay on if not being used.

try putting this PC36IMG.zip in the root of your sd card, boot intobootloader wait for your phone to recognize it and hit update, the zip is for amon ra 2.3 recovery

after many hours of trial and error and 6 diffrent computers and 4 cables i was able to get a recovery loaded and its workin great.... except the random reboot crap....
BTW
used unrevoked 3 to get it up.

Usually with bad random rebooting, nothing will help. Download the s-on zip from the unrevoked website, flash it in recovery, then run the RUU again. You should be stock, s-on. Then take it to Sprint & have them replace it.

[Q] Trouble returning to stock

I am trying to return my father's evo to stock. It was rooted with CM7 stable on it. I have run through the RUU method but when the phone restarts it boots and then when the lock screen is unlocked the phone just restarts.
I have used the most current RUU, the first one list and a couple others. I have also tried placing the PC36img file and letting that update but upon restarting it just vibrates 5 times.

Well what hboot is he on? You need to use the correct firmware for the hboot.
2.10 = 3.70 and 2.16 = 4.24

That is the correct one, the first link. Though when running it, you need to:
-boot into the bootloader, select fastboot
-connect phone to pc via usb cable
-once fastboot usb shows up in blue, run the exe on the pc
Did you do that?

Since its still s-off you can try re-flashing the hboot [can be found in the radio, wimax, ect thread in the dev section] and then try to re-run the RUU. I have seen that fix similar issues in the past.

Alright, and yes, flash it from recovery. Go with amon_ra 2.3 recovery, as it generally has the least errors while flashing.

Now the next problem, I try to install the custom recovery(Amon_Ra) via the bootloader way. It completes the PC36img update then reboots. I try to enter recovery from the Hboot menu and the phone just vibrates 5 times.

Okay.
1. Try it again ; it happens sometimes to a lot of people where it does that the first time, then works the second
2. Boot into the bootloader, do a clear storage, then try the PC36IMG again.
Let me know if neither work.

Go to unrevoked.com and they have a the right tools to unroot and an s-on tool

That didn't work. Weird issue is I can get the phone to boot and not restart as long as I don't have the SDcard inserted. I am wiping the SDcard now to see if that helps.

I am running unrevoked now to get a custom recovery installed.

Alright, keep me posted.

Alright tried the Unrevoked method, it fails and says lost communication with device. Now the phone only vibrates 5 times when booting.
Thanks for sticking with me here, this has become very frustrating.
*Got it to boot, trying unrevoked again. NVM it restarted then vibrated 5 times. Now trying to get it to boot without the SDcard in.

you said you were trying to get to stock. you also said you downloaded a stock ruu.. in order for an ruu to upload you need htc sync installed on your computer do you have those Installed... if the ruu works you will still be s-off at this point you have to get the S- On tool from unrevoked and run that

I had HTC Sync installed. I actually just uninstalled it per the unrevoked directions. The RUU completed but the phone just restarts when I try to swype to unlock it or if I wait long enough it will just restart on its own. I can't flash the S-on tool without a custom recovery installed, since running the RUU method removed the custom recover is that correct? I have tried to boot into the recovery via the hboot method and that just results in 5 vibrations.

are you able to use the phone.. can you install Clockworkmod recovery App?

No problem, and you tried formatting the sd card earlier?

Right now I am unable to the phone just keeps restarting after each boot. If i can get it to stop rebooting I will try to install clockwork recovery.
I am actually going to try an reinstall htc sync, reboot my comp, then rerun the RUU and hopefully that will stabilize the reboots.
