[Q] Stupidly Reflashed - Need Help to Recover - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I am not a huge Smart phone buff, been dinking around on the tutorials. So I succesfully unREvoked my phone last night and it was working. I was doing an Update to the WiMax and for whatever reason I had an old PCIMG file left on there and I stupididly clicked yes to update to that image.
Well it wiped out my recovery and now I am not able to do anything (no card reader either). When I goto Recovery just a red ! and when I try to boot it just keeps looping me back to the bootloader.
I have tried connecting it to the computer, which has the Android drivers etc installed. The computer detects the device in some form, but when trying to get access via ADB no devices found. I am not really sure how to proceed, I will probably go buy a card reader and try and get the right PCIMG file back on and re-flash it. But if anyone has another method, I am all ears. Here is my information.

If nothing else I will try the SD Card and put on the IMG I had used originally, but would like to save a few bucks if I can.
Sorry if there is an answer posted already for this question. I did about 6 hours of research and looked through all the Wiki guides and came up with nothing.

Well, I bought a card reader and put the correct image back on the card which after a re-flash fixed it.
Thanks.

[Q] Evo 4G Near Death? Desperately Seeking Help!

Hello all. I am a noob to working on rooting or doing anything of the sort with phones. I am more for desktops. With that said, I am in DESPERATE need of some guidance with my EVO 4G. I did not attempt to root the phone, I assume someone else did before I got it (from EBAY)..the phone itself appears to be brand new with no scratches, or any other markings. When the phone turns on, the screen shows:

ON THE OTHER MENU:
the only difference is that is says clear and SIMLOC
Since, I am new....I of course researched what the issue could possibly be. I read that some have issues with the memory card so, after trying the two that I have...I went and bought a new one. I proceeded to try various PC36IMG files and each time I got the 'MODEL ID INCORRECT' message. I tried downloading items like unrevoked and RUU software (I also downloaded two different drivers) but, with one driver my device shows as 'my htc' and with the other drivers, it shows as 'android bootloader'.
So, I cannot actually access the device through the computer. I downloaded a 'pack' called Evo Brick Fix but, had no luck with it when trying to put on the sd card and then into phone. I have tried putting Amon Ra on the sd card and attempting to load on the phone but, whether it is Amon or another PC36IMG, I will say that a pc36diag file one other file cannot be found. It tried to load the PC36IMG file and as soon as the bar is all the way filled, it says Model ID incorrect.
Somehow, through my fumbling around, I managed to change out some files between PC36IMG downloads and I managed to get the phone to BEGIN loading the PC36IMG but, it says parsing for about 1-2 seconds and then very quickly flashes something about NV so (loading NV - I think...it flashes that extremely fast) and goes right back to the screen you see pictured above. It does not do differently if I try it on phone in hboot or fastboot.
Can some please help with any advice? It would be greatly appreciated as I am at my wits end and feels this Evo is as good as dead.
Thanks,
Anna
Try and search here on XDA for 3.70 ruu tutorial.I've tried posting the link but it won't work unless its directed.The 3.70 ruu is the one you want to run with your current radio and hboot versions and it should get you up and running.

HTC Desire -- Stuck at HBOOT after RUU

Hopefully I'm just being blind here -- and I have tried a number of guides to fix this -- but I'm pretty stuck.
Couple of days ago the volume down button started playing up, then the menu and search keys stopped working. At the time I had rooted the phone with unrevoked and installed CM7.3 (iirc), and taken the S-OFF with Alpharev 1.8. I figured it was probably a software issue and for some reason decided to go back to run an RUU (rather than just running a different ROM, don't really know why on earth I did that). Kind of having a feeling that I was very dense and ran the wrong RUU, as now the phone is simply stuck at HBOOT.
When I say stuck, I mean as soon as I turn on the phone it goes directly into the stock HBOOT (FASTBOOT -- RECOVERY -- CLEAR STORAGE -- SIMLOCK) yet NONE of the buttons work (so I cannot navigate it at all). Perhaps it is actually a hardware issue, which would make sense as it boots straight into HBOOT, no HTC screen or anything. When it runs the SD check it comes back with wrong / image missing in all the checks.
Tried running ADB, couldn't find the phone. Other RUU's return error 170 as though they can't find the phone. Phone does register "HBOOT USB PLUG" when plugged in though, and my Windows 7 machine does recognise it, but as there's a new RUU on there USB debugging is not enabled and I cannot access the SD card through the phone.
The full info on the HBOOT screen is --

Any help would be much appreciated... Later on today I'll pick up a card reader, figure my only option now is to try and get through to it that way?
Hmmmm!
I'm not sure but it actually could sound like a hardware issue. You have the STOCK HBOOT and then ran the RUU for the HTC Desire? If u did so I cant see it as a software brick. PM me if you need some more help. I had a Desire for some month ago that i bricked A LOT more than yours, and i got it fixed (by myself... took some nights thought :/
Yeah I thought that as well, but before I flashed the RUU, although the phone was powering directly into HBOOT, I could use the buttons to navigate the menu. Now, I simply can't.
I should maybe add that when it checks the SD it returns with wrong / missing image (can't remember the exact wording -- pops up then goes pretty quickly).
Also this afternoon I opened up the desire and checked and reseated the buttons, all seem to be working as normal. Seeing as it's stuck at HBOOT, I think I'll just need to buy a new SD card and put whatever the image it's looking for is on it?
Edit: I was thinking that reformatting the SD card (through a PC USB reader) as FAT32, then placing the PB99IMG.zip from the latest 2.3 HTC WWE RUU might work? I can't see any reason why not -- think the Desire is unbranded so no goldcard required.
Edit2: Still waiting on a new adapter, but was wondering why the RUU failed -- the file was RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe from shipped-roms. Don't see any reason why flashing it would have ended up leaving me in this position -- even if it was a hardware issue underlying it.
Sorry to double post...
Tried putting the PB99img from the RUU (and tried the 2.3 update PB99img) to no avail on both the SD card that I'd been using recently and the one that had originally come with the phone -- no luck; once HBOOT detects the img and runs through it, it gets stuck at the "parsing... [1] [2] [3]" etc page.
Any help would be massively appreciated, would be appalled if I have managed to brick this in my enthusiasm for fixing a volume button problem -.-
Already checked bortak's troubleshooting guide?
Yep and anything else I could find really. Starting to think this little droid is doomed.

new guy needs help with boot issue

ok i dont know what happened but i have been lookin all over for answers. my phone died on me because it ran out of battery power so i charged it and now i get the HTC EVO 4G screen. So i cleared storage and tryed to recovery and it reboots and now everyonce in a while it will get to the unlock bar but will not let me drag it down. but it usualy does not make it that far. i am stupid with this but i tryed to download a pc36img.zip on the sd card and then run recovery and it still says that no image can be found. i guess in am needing the dummy directions for downloading the correct files and saving them on the card via a card adaptor and windows 7 comp. and then after i have that done the process to get my phone up and running. i just need it for music and internet as i do not have service because i am currently deployed. thanks to anyone that can offer any help and if i can get past this i would like to get it rooted thanks again

[Q] can someone Help with fixing my DINC after Unrooting gone wrong?

Ok, so have a serious issue
at first i was able to successfully root and flash clockwork mod recovery on my DInc using the rooting method from unrevoked 3 and was running Clockwork mod recovery +Cyanogen mod7 through the Rom manager (cannot remember exactly which versions.) it was all running fine, then just decided to unroot it with a few different methods (one didnt work and the others failed as well, maybe because i mismatched the stuff i used during the First try at the unrooting process..but because i tried one method after the other, and it was soo long ago, i forgot exactly how i ran into this problem
basically somehow i screwed up the Unrooting process.
SO now I am Having the System UIDs are inconsistent message every time i start my Incredible, Tried recovery that didnt work, tried factory reset+ erase all data on phone SD card (i probably accidentally erased the recovery image) it seems to reboot and be all restored, like a stock image, but weirdly the Superuser Ninja holding the AR15 still shows up in my app drawer (even after i unrooted and restored everything.) so i i decided to check out if the permissions were still enabled and they were not... SU shows up and doesnt function (just blank). I investigated further by downloading ROMmanager and then everything ended up forceclosing over and over again...I went to download "# Root Checker" and pressed "check" and it proclaims that its not rooted but under "User" it said "root"... i guess that its saying im rooted but im not?!?! LOL
anwhyo here are my DInc Specs as of Right now:
my DInc is an SLCD, running android 2.3.4. baseband is 2.15.10.07.07

when i tried to see if i can reflash it through fastboot, the device manager in my W8.1 Pro 64 bit says "Device failed Enumeration" and USB notification popped up from the system tray saying that the device wasn't recognizable
so the drivers provided by Unrevoked for enabling the phone to be detected dont work, and the HTC Sync program doesnt even detect the Incredible.
However,,,,
the Fast boot, Boot Loader, and HBOOT still works upon pressing the Volume-down + Power and am still able to access Internal Phone Memory AND the SD card when the Phone is plugged into my computer via micro USB (so it looks like im able to flash things to it, but stuck as to how and what)
Because im still able to access the the SD card and internal Memory,
I tried putting PB31mg.zip on the root of the SD and ran HBOOT> and i gave it a second to detect the file.. then it said "Main Version is older Update Fail!"
the guy in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286223 seems to have had Similar problems..... I have added symtoms and issues on top of the whole 2.3.4 with S-on and Radio 2.15.10.07.07....
I just want to get back to vanilla-stock on my incredible with absolutely no modifications and without the System UID/feeling lucky pop up bugging me. and dont care what route i take, weather it be rerooting and reflashing , just reflashing. i just dont know what to do to get it that way from here.
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get back to normal with this DInc???
Im sorry if i dont make any sense im having a hard time explaining it. if you do understand me, i would appreciate your help. also if you need me to clarify things just ask me.
I'm a little rusty, but I remember this was the preferred method for rooting because of problem with the 1click unlockers,
(nuts, can't post links yet)... Google, "[HOW TO](gaining root)unlock,downgrade,and achieve s-off with htcDev" and look for it on androidforums.com
Try picking it up from step2, just keep the unlock_code.bin from miniadb_inc files from step1 on the phone. As long as typing 'adb devices' displays your phones serial number, you should be ok. As a long shot, you could try a PC with Windows7.
Try this ruu thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip

[Q] Desire Help!!

Hi Guys,
A lot of this stuff is new to me. I have an old HTC Desire which I hadn’t turned on in a while. When I tried to boot it up, it only got as far as the O2 splash screen. I know the basics so tried volume down and power button and got to the fastboot screen,
Bravo PVT4 Ship S-on HBOOT-0.93 0001 MicroP-051d Touch Panel SYNT0101 Radio-5.09.050.30_2 August 10 2010
Tried recovery but again stalled on the splash screen. Been looking through the forum, some great info there and the HTC Desire troubleshooting guide is very good. But I just don’t know exactly whats wrong with the phone as sometimes I get a stall on screen with white HTC, sometimes on O2 splash screen and one time it stopped with three android men in the middle of the screen.
I got myself a SD Adapter for the micro sd in my phone and copied/backup this info on my laptop. I’ve tried clearing all on the Micro sd and running a RUU but always comes up with the error cannot connect to pc (windows 7). Don’t mind losing all on the sd card as I have pics/videos on the laptop, just want to have the phone work again. Would ideally like to start from scratch and put the minimum amount of information needed on my microsd to boot up the phone correctly. I think there may be a chance as I can get to the hboot screen. Appreciate any help I can get
Regards
Well done for finding the troubleshooting guide and having a read in the first place, a lot of people don't bother!
If you just want it booting, try running the the 2.3.3 RUU using the PB99IMG,zip method, which doesn't require a PC connection.
- Download the .zip URL="http://d-h.st/d44"]here[/URL],
- Put it directly on the root of the sd card (not in any folder)
- Boot to bootloader (Vol down + power)
- It should find the file, select power to run it.
Cheers Eddie for getting back so quickly.
Just tried what you said but getting "wrong image or no image" briefly flashing
up on the screen when i select bootloader. I put the zip file itself onto the root of the sd card. Should i delete everything else
on the sd card?
Another thing i've noticed is that i get seven random vibrates every now and again when it HBOOT mode.
Thanks again Eddie
That's weird, should find the file.
Sorry have to double check:
- You didn't rename the file? You shouldn't have to modify the zip at all, should be named PB99IMG.zip and not PB99IMG.zip.zip
- It's definitely on the root of the sd card (not in a folder)
You shouldn't need to format it as it scans the whole card for the file, but no harm in trying if it's backed up. Reformat the sd card completely, to a single FAT32 partition. Put only the zip on there, try again.
If that still doesn't work, try it with another sd card.
Getting there!!
Ok i got my HTC to recognise the zip file. Problem was PB99IMG file was called zip.zip. Easy to miss
because on the root of the sd card it only has .zip but when i tried to copy it in again it asked me do
i want to replace PB99IMG.zip.zip with PB99IMG.zip.zip...
So Vol down and power button and HTC starts the process
Do you want to start update .....vol up
Updated Bootloader ok but
unfortunately for me it stalled while updating RADIO V2.... waited good 5 mins but did not progress
Disappointed as i thought i was nearly there. Has anybody any experience of this!
Eddie only seen your post after i put this one up. You were right with the naming of the file .zip.zip
Eddie only seeing your post now. you were right about the .zip bit, cheers.
Tried again and this time success, got all updated except Radio which gave a "fail PU"
Down the bottom in black it said "partition update fail"
Then i pressed vol up to reboot Htc turned off... and didn't reboot
Going to leave it at that for now and head to bed. Thanks for your help today
If you have any ideas i'll give it a go tomorrow:fingers-crossed:
Well progress is good the .zip.zip error is surprisingly common.
Does it say "RADIO V2 Fail" or similar?
This unfortunately is not a good sign, suggests a radio brick, or an overheating motherboad I believe. You're not the only one to see this error.
Try putting the desire in a bag in the freezer for a few minutes (not joking), the re-running the RUU same method.
This may get it to boot, but I fear that it won't be long before the same thing happens again and it gets stuck on the splash screen, no guarantees at this point with that error.

Yeah "radio v2 fail" tried to run again but now won't turn on at all. Tried freezer...nothing and hasn't turned on since. I suspect your right with
motherboard over heating and i'm resigned to it being a lost cause.
Thanks for the help anyway Eddie
