Develop Bugs

Bricked, Borked, and Cooked?

I would greatly appreciate any help!
Two days ago my phone was having problems updating themes. I was rooted with
Clockwork 2.5.05 for the longest time but when the update for 2.5.1 was pushed I didn't think twice and I updated. Now I couldn't restore or flash because recovery would hang at MD5 Sums. After two days of nonstop attempts and fails I decided I would just backup everything on my computer and unroot, then reroot fresh.
So I unrooted my phone and thought everything would be fine. Nope, my phone was reset back to 2.1update1. Now Unrevoked wasn't working when I tried to root.
Now I found this page
http://androidforums.com/incredible...root-your-incredible-whatever-its-status.html
and followed and did step 2. That installed succesfully, but now I couldn't find a working to the May update. Luckily I found a link on the forums here and was able to install.
This may be where I went wrong but I accidentally flashed step 5 before step 4. But either way both step 4 and 5 installed without a hitch.
Now step 6 wouldn't work. It would error out at Update 7 or something along those lines.
Now I'm stuck with a phone with the Unrevoked splash screen(I like it, I just can't take it in to a verizon store and get a new phone under warranty because clearly I was messing with it), I think 2.2, and I can't put it into USB mode though my computer recognizes it under Device Manager. It hangs whenever I try to pull down the status bar.
On top of that I can't access any wireless network, both wifi and verizons, and
i can't get passed the activation screen because of that.
Reseting from the bootloader doesn't fix it, factory reseting from recovery doesn't fix it(Verizons built in recovery, step 5 uninstalled clockwork).
I am very lost

I think I unwillingly traded one of my nine lives to the devil.
My phone, has been fixed.
By a complete blunder, or at least I think so, my phone has been corrected.
I got tired of the constant reboots and "System crashes" that would ail me before I even got to the Phone Activation screen I thought I would try and activate it even though I had a X where the reception bars are.
To my absolute astonishment after a minute or two pause my phone is dialed through and begins the *228 update!(Later today at work my friend suggested that the 228 number works like an emergency number and dials on whatever network is available.)
My phone reboots and I have access to the home screen! I still can't pull down the status bar and have X bars but this is better than nothing! Feeling headstrong I open up Revoked and try rooting
It works!...sort of
It goes through the full process and when I get to the home screen I'm on a stock 2.2 device! Oddly no root however
I boot to clockwork and install su-2.3.4-ef and payload-update.
And now it works somehow! S-on is back as well. I just got back from work and have successfully rooted! I really hope this is a Karma cash in

[Q] dinc gets black screen when attempting to use Clockwork Recovery

Im trying to get the OTA update that came out in November or so onto a coworkers dinc that we rooted with Unrevoked. It is currently s-off and I need to turn s-on with the appropriate file and then run the update. For some reason when I go into recovery mode to attempt the s-on process all I get is a black screen. Its almost like Clockwork recovery will not fully load. There are no options or anything for me to choose from, its just completely frozen on a black screen (with white borders on 3 edges).
Ive tried to reflash the Clockwork recovery image, thinking something was wrong with it, by using Unrevoked reflash.exe but even that doesnt work. It jsut says 'failed to flash recovery image.' All this is being done on the same machine that the dinc was rooted on.
Is there anyone who has seen this before and can help me?
Edit:
Ive now attempted to put TWO different dincs into recovery and get the same thing. Black screen, no options in green text. Ive waited as long at 10 minutes and nothing ever appears. They just sit there like that. On another note, booting mine to recovery works just fine. All are running baseband 2.15.00.07.28.

Are you using the latest Unrevoked?
Look at this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855515&highlight=slcd
Use the search button, there are other threads with the same or similar problem that got resolved.

I did use the search button and found some threads that talked about a black screen, but from looking at those, they were actually getting the green text options and just did not know to use the touch sensor button in place of the power button. This appears to be a different issue. Maybe I am using the seach feature incorrectly, or not putting in the right verbiage, but it only provided unrelated threads.
Thanks for the input. I will make sure I am using the latest unrevoked executable and see if it makes a difference in getting the Clockwork recovery back on and functional.

UPDATE: Unresolved. The phone now has the update applied, but I am unable to re root it and provide wifi tethering. Unrevoked is saying that the process failed and asks if the firmware is too recent. What is this all about? I had no issues doing this when I did it to my phone over a month ago. Any further ideas?

Are you sure you applied the November update? I know there was a more recent OTA that went out, I believe that patched the loophole that unrEVOked used. Maybe you flashed that by accident?

It was definitely the November update. A further search on google actually pointed me in the direction of uninstalling programs that may interfere with the root and also putting it into disk mode when plugged in via USB. I found a program that was erroneously left the during the reflash and once it was removed, the re-root with unrevoked finally worked.
Things seem to be working now, finally. Im now attempting the re-root on the second of the coworkers' phones.

If they have SLCD, you need to flash an SLCD-compatible version of clockwork. Read here

[Q] Unable to unroot Evo

Hey guys,
I had a friend root my phone and wanted to unroot it, I wasnt sure how to do it so i stupidly did stuff without reading first.
I am running unrevoked it seems and i went into recovery and did a factory reset. Well my phone still wouldnt accept the OTA update so i went back into recovery and deleted data and a few other options. Well i have been reading and been trying to reflash my phone back so i can use it again. Well i dont have an OS anymore it seems so the only thing my phone does is go to the bootloader. ( white screen with options Fastboot, Recovery, ect. )
I downloaded an image file and the bootloader checked it and said Main version older and failed to install. So i did more reading and flashed the unrevoked zip again and tried again. didnt work, so i have been downloading every image i can find tring to get it to install and it never does. It says i am missing file PC36diag.zip and PC36diag.nbh or NBH file is not correct. It then unpacks the img file i have on there then checks it, then nothing happens ( that is with the other image files i dled not the original ) And when i say nothing happens i mean it says checking, then just goes back to the bootloader screen. I dont know what to do. Any help?

Did you try Z4 mod to un-root?

No,
This link is the method i was using to unroot

Have you tried running the RUU yet? I would give that a try. Also, I believe that when you get the 'main version older' error, it has something to do with what version hboot you have on your phone. There are many different PC36IMG.zips and many different RUU's. I believe you need to find the correct one for your phone. I would try the RUU first though, and see if you can get your phone back up that way. You run the RUU from your computer, and have the phone plugged in via USB. I will provide a couple links, one that contains every RUU and PC36IMG (all software versions), and another that has a bunch of factory ROMS. Hope it works for ya.

You've got good advise on the RUU. I already did it to bring my Evo into a store to be looked at.
In the Evo Development thread you'll find one or more posts with links to the Evo RUU files. If you have a 002 or 003 hardware version Evo, download the 3.29.x version RUU; if you have an 004 you can get the latest 3.70.x file.
Connect your Evo to your PC via the USB cable, run the RUU file on your PC, and befor eyou know it, you've got an unrooted, completely stock Evo. Add your info again, run the OTA updater to get you back to the latest version, and enjoy your stock Evo.
I hope this helps. Thank you for your time.

This is really starting to look like a megaupload advertisement

I'm having trouble unrooting my evo and have to ship it back in 4 days. I,ve tryed the unrevoked s-on and it worked but reflash pc36img didn't take tried 3 or 4. going to try this but what do I do to phone to connect? disk drive?

i was also having this problem yesterday but i did it. i rooted using the autoroot program. i unroot using the ruu . heres what i did first download htc sync for your evo then plug in your phone to the pc. turn off your phone. turn it on to the bootloader . leave it there dont do anything else. then run ruu , if you get an error message keep on trying it . also google for the ruu program. hope this help

[Q] HTC DHD Not Updating to 2.3 Gingerbread

Hey guys,
I'm in Australia, using 3 network.I have a HTC Desire HD which is currently running Android 2.2. 2 nights ago, I got a notification for the Gingerbread update, downloaded it and hit install now. The phone rebooted to a screen with a triangle with an exclamation mark in it, and the droid guy. I waited for about 10 minutes, the same screen was there, then I fell asleep. I saw the screen the same way I left it before I slept, took the battery out so i can at least use it. And this whole day, I've been trying to update it, but still no luck. I did a factory reset, downloaded the update several times and tried installing it, it still gave me the same screen. I tried unrooting my phone, then tried it again same thing happened. I did most of the things I could find on the net, but still didn't work... I called 3 (three) AU network about it, they told me to go to a store but I wanted to know if anyone could help me before I go to the store and wait there the whole day for nothing, and I have rooted my phone, so they won't be doing anything, rather than doing my head in along with my parents.
I'm with 3 AU, had the phone for 2 months, rooted with S-Off.
Please Help!!!

You could maybe try to use a RUU update. It will probably work, but you will be on factory status after it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667

I have tried that at least 3-4 times before but didn't work, now I tried it again after using this guide, and it worked. Thank you for reminding me about this again and thank you xda.

I had the same problem as you after download OTA and select install, DHD reboot and nothing more happens.
Download Ace_Gingerbread 2.36.405.8 RUU file here http://www.multiupload.com/DCU61Q12V2 and install from PC as works fine.
Then ust GingerBreak APK 1.20 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 to root and get su back

Stuck in non funtioning RUU Froyo with S-ON

Hello. I'm in a bit of a bind which I cannot get myself out of, so I am posting here. I've been around for over a year lingering, updating, trying new things, etc. I came across a free Incredible, which I attempted to root, and install a ROM onto. I rooted the phone with Unrevoked 3, booted into Clockwork mod recovery, made a nandroid, and installed the ROM. The installation was successful, however, on boot after the HTC splash screen the phone vibrates 5 times and the led flashes green constantly. The same thing happened when I tried to boot into recovery.
I found that the phone booted to the Set Up, which crashed, if it was plugged into a computer. I ADB saw the device but I could not push files or execute commands. Unrevoked S-OFF would not work also.
After Googling, I found a 2.2 RUU, which installed successfully, but I get the same boot problems. If the USB is plugged into a computer before the phone is turned on I actually get to Android and can play around. The phone will not recognize any memory, SD or internal; only phone memory is recognized. I tried ADB again with no luck, most likely has to do with the phone not recognizing memory. So I flashed the RUU from HBOOT which flashed fine, but the same problems still persist.
I am out of ideas, which I hope someone has anything I can try.

I cannot thank you enough.
Edit: Unrevoked gave me s-off. I want to be clear this time before I install any ROM. Do I need to run unrevoked-forever.zip? I am 99.999% positive I do not since I already have s-off. I want to get a new ROM on tonight.

Unrevoked 3 now contains the forever patch, as previous versions did not. So you are good to go flash away, after making a nandroid of course

No need for unrevoked forever if you are s-off

Thanks! On my way to a new ROM.
