EVO Bricked? Please Help

I had rooted my phone and updated the radio to 1.47.651.1 when I tried to update a custom rom I accidently re-ran PC36IMG.zip and it rebooted quick NOW the radio says 1:39:00:04:26
and in the options below I now have
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
I tried putting the phone on FASTBOOT then connected it to the USB and began a stock rom not rooted and it boots my phone into an HTC Black screen Boot mode and begins to update until it comes to the signatures and it gives me an error.
I run windows 7
I went and tried this, connected sd card to Computer with adapter and transferred stock rom rooted and renamed it to sdcard.zip
booted Evo to bootloader and chose recovery.
I as usual got the black background with EVO Icon and red triangle with exclamation mark.
There I click on hold Volume Up and Power until I get the following error:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then I click volume up and the following title and menu appear:
Android system recovery <2e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
When I choose the sdcard:update option the following message is displayed
----Install from Sdcard ------
Finding Update package
Opening update package
verifying update package
E:signature verification failed
instalation aborted
After, I downloaded tha froyo 2.2 file and placed it on the sd and rename it to update.zip
and when I ran Update.zip from bootloader it ran half way but then stopped saying the following error
failed to verify whole-file signature
So now I load any PC36IMG and I get NO QUESTION to update just puts me onto the bootloader screen….

Not bricked, just stuck. Download stock ruu, plug phone into computer and install. Or put pc136.img on rot of sd, boot into fast boot, it should install automatically. If none of the above, go to a sprint store, tell them it won't boot and you don't know why, and they will flash or replace.

What I would do from here if I were you is put that sd card back in the computer and erase everything on it.
while your at it shut down the phone. Hold down the volume down button and press power. When that comes up post what version of Hboot you have please.
And I'll be better able to help out.
WOw

did you try to reinstall another ROM?
if you still see the RECOVERY menu item, go there and then go where it says update from zip on sdcard. then using up/down buttons highlight the .zip file of the ROM then push the power button to make it run.
this hoping you got a ROM on your sdcard. if not just get one at the forum and download.
i got clockworkmod but im sure the other recovery tools have similar options.

@ adelaney Stock Ruu begins to update and gives me an error when signatures are being installed. I tried three Stock ROMS
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed

Ok here's the deal. If you have nan unlock, fully rooted then you should have a nandroid back. If you do then boot into recovery and no a nandroid restore. This should boot you to one of your pervious backup/ system state.
Please note.
If you are fully rooted u should always do a nandroid backup before you flash any update, that way u can do a restore in the even something goes wrong.

Thank you for the information but it was a step I did not do... The tutorial that I went with did not speak about that when I rooted my phone...
EDIT: I even tried mixing files that I have downloaded with various PC36IM.zip and nothing triggers the update question.

Would they be able to notice if its rooted?

Most likely NOT bricked if it boots!
Sounds like you re-applied root but glitched somewhere?
Try root again - may still work?

What version is your hboot - press power and volume down WITHOUT pc36img.zip, update, etc on your sd - i.e. rename it or remove it, i.e. with adb or sd card slot on pc.... See if you can still access recovery?
I've been hammering on these things for a bit and if I can get into the boot screen, it's pretty much good to go...

Hboot-0.79.0000
Also the error that began all of this was running the wrong PC36IMG to begin with... I had 1.4 radio and I think that the one I used had the 1.3 radio so the only thing that helped me boot up again was that 1,2,3 step flashing so I thought that I had to take the second step and that placed in on booter, I have not been able to boot again ever since.... That was yesterday been trying for about 9 hours lol

Yes your just not rooted anymore. Run whatever process worked for you the first time

Try whitslack's method.
EDIT: Nevermind, no can do.

What happens is that my phone DOES read the PC36IMG.zip but it does not give me update option as it used to before. Any suggestions?

Reroot your phone using toast method! That is all! If you are on 1.47 then use simple root!

Seems you have un-rooted the boot me thinks but also read something about mixing radio's causing grief, someone more in the know could answer that... If you can get to hboot usb and try the RUU from your PC? Sometimes taking the battery out and restarting, if communication fails, try it again, rebooting the pc, hell I have no procedure, I just hammer till it makes sense, however 9 hours - holy crap, I'd be foaming at the face!

Ok will do right away and post update

I have done that via PC and the only thing that works with that are the stock roms since they come in EXE they manage to reboot my phone and everything but when the update gets to the signature part it says it fails in the signatures and aborts... any other custom roms that have EXE?

[help] HTC Desire Can't Enter Recovery Mode and Clockworkmod

Hi guys, i am a newbie here.
Last night i was trying to root my desire using unrevoked. I followed the guide from XDA step by step and everything seemed fine until word "done" appear in unrevoked.
After that, desire supposed to enter recovery mode and clockworkdmod but there was nothing appear in the screen. My desire suddenly shut down.
Can you tell me what am i suppose to do then because i want to put custom rom in my desire and now there's nothing i can do because it can't enter recovery mode (it only able to enter bootloader or Android OS itself).
Thanks

when you are in boot loader, use the volume down key and goto recovery and git power button. you should then be taken to clockwork recovery. this is where you can select your rom from SD card and flash

I've tried to do that and now it stuck in HTC Logo. Doest it mean i've to try unrevoked again or simply unroot it?

try rebooting by taking battery off. i'm not an expert but you might have to do it manually using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
did you install the unrevoked drivers?

Okay i will try. Btw, in case i want to unroot, can you tell me where i can get "RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179" ? The link from XDA seems down and i can download any.

Me and another member have encountered the same issue, seems there's some bug in HBOOT or something.
Boot into Android, go to Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset. Once you confirm it, it will reboot your phone into Recovery.
BUT, unless you re-format (partition) your SD Card, you won't be able to get back in again (unless you do the Factory data reset again).
This seems to happen randomly. Right now I can get into Recovery just fine. But once the bug occurs, the only way to get it to stop is to format your SD card.

Now i am thinking to unroot it than trying to do the whole rooting step all over again. Can you tell me where i can get the RUU for HTC Desire Asia

Here you go:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe

Okay, i've done unrooting with HTC Desire RUU Asi and what happen now my SLCD is brick. I am really hopeless right now because guide for "SLCD Brick" doesn't even work in my phone because once again my htc can't enter recovery mode ><
"I am trying to use the guide from sprinker right now. Hopefully it will work"

when you are in hboot the volume down/up button work?

Hi all,
I also have the problem that I can no longer enter the recovery mode on my desire.
Basically, whenever I am in the bootloader menu (either by pressing vol-down+power, return+power, or via ROMManager) and then select "recovery" I get right back to the "fastboot" screen.
I tried uninstalling/installing/upgrading ROMManager and also tried flashing clockwork via the newest version of Unrevoked (downloaded yesterday).
Nothing helps :-(
What I didn't try, yet, is reformatting my SDCard or resetting my device via "Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset". (I don't want to install all my apps >again<; I'm also a bit afraid that I break something an then cannot even reflash using recovery).
Here is some more info about my device:
- Flashed rom: Leedroid 2.1a
- HBOOT 0.83.0001
- RADIO 5.10.05.23
I would be really greatful if anyone had a solution for this problem.
P.s.: in case I HAVE to reset/format: can I somehow make a backup of all my apps&settings?

Hi all, I have the same problem now.
Everything works, after s-off, except I can no longer enter Recovery - any solution?

I didn't find an easy solution. I had to do the following (some steps might be optional but I wanted to be sure):
- Formated SD card (ext3 and fat partition)
- Complete reset via RUU (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe)
- Using unrevoked to reinstall recovery rom
- Reinstalled my custom rom (Leedroid)
Now everything works.
BTW: via TitaniumBackup I could backup all my apps and data quite easily. Didn't expect it to work that well

thanks- what about s-off - is it working now for you?

"s-off" = ?

I Have a similar problem... I can't enter recovery. When i press "recovery mode", I just get a black screen with a phone and a "!" in it.
Have to pull battery to reboot desire.
I have formatted sd.
Quite annoying, cause I need to wipe my battery stats, and I don't know any other way to do it, than going to recovery.

I tried to update ROM to Cyanogenrom which was unsuccessful - just get boot loop.
I also get the same 'red triangle with exclamation mark on phone' icon when trying to go to recovery mode.
So now I have a Desire which boot loops and cant enter recovery mode ...
anyone know how to get out of this one?

This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
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
This should bring back your phone to stock. Root your phone again after it is done

i have the same issue. but i got stuck when trying to partition my sd card. Now i can't enter Android itself only the bootloader. But i also lost my clockwork recovery...
it keeps looping the HTC Quitly brilliant bootscreen... Forever!
i am now formatting my sd card with my pc. will i then be able to go into recovery again using a zip file from clockwork i found? using this:
fake-flash
Fake-flash is only possible with root access, you need to be rooted to use it. Basically, its a way to have recovery running on the phone without using a PC (making it safer as you are less likely to brick using no USB cable to push files, instead, you push directly from your phone). You can use "ROM Manager" from the marketplace to do this. Simply place the downloaded test recovery image on the phone and the downloaded rom zip (renamed to update.zip) and flash using ROM Manager.
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then installing a ROM with it?
(sry for bad english)

i'm having the exact same problem. i've tried fake flash and it does nothing for me, so does flashing the clockwork recovery image. the only one i haven't used yet is the downgrade...hope that will help

[Q]

Hello Desirers,
i have had the HTC Desire for a whole year now, i did root it long time ago via Unrevoked 3, and installed the Amon-RA recovery.. and installed LeeDroid 2.2 by then, then made a full wipe some monthes ago and installed LeeDroid 2.3d.. and all went well.. i never had any problem with flashing a zip from the recovery or roms.
yesterday i downloaded the new LeeDroid2.41 rom, to install it.
When i went to Rom Manager to make a backup (my 1st time to use it to backup, thought to use it instead of the usual nandroid backup + from the AmonRA recovery menu... it went okay during the backup (with the different backups...etc) till the restart at the end and it gave me the white flash "HTC" screen and kept on restarting... and that's it.. nothing else happens.. i hadn't install anything new .. i was just backing up stuff.
Note that the HBOOT menu appears normally.. i can go to recovery.. to anything okay.. but can't boot the normal system that was just working and stable.
anyways so i thought to go to recovery and flash the new LeeDroid for that may fix whatever is wrong... but when i go to AmonRA menu and select to flash a zip it tells me :
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
no such file or directory
E: can't mount /sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
though the sdcard is working on windows, i tried to restart, to remove the sdcard and insert it again, another sdcard (all gave the same result)... when i choose "Mounts" menu from the AmonRA menu and choose to "mound sdcard" it gives me the same error message.
now the brick is that i can't do anything.. can't change the recovery, can't install a new room or whatever, can't restore it to factory settings <install the original rom> ... because all needs sdcard. and i can't reach my original leedroid rom that was working because the phone keeps on restarting after the white screen.
what's wrong with the sdcard matter anyways ?
=-=
i really hope this shout reaches anyone who can help me, i am phoneless since yesterday Sad
=-=

[Q] Having trouble flashing the radio on CM7

Hi,
I recently installed CM7 on my phone. I want to flash the radio, and I've looked over the entire forum.
It says reboot into recovery, and update from zip on sd card.
The problem I am having, is that it doesnt say this.
I reboot into recovery, get the red triangle, get passed it by pressing up and power. And then get to the menu that says
Android system recovery <2e>
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data
Wipe Cache.
I tried renaming this file: signed_Froyo_Slide_Radio.zip as update, but that doesnt work either.
Am I supposed to wipe the data and cache first?
I've also tried rebooting into recovery from clockwork and that fails as well.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a tutorial I can find that will help? The oddest thing is I thought rooting/installing cm7 would have been hard, but that turned out to be easier than what I thought would be the easiet thing of the bunch to do.
Any help will be appreciated, i have looked all over, but I'm sorry if this was answered already.

going off my bare knowledge of the MT3GS that i help my sister do..
i thought the steps was..
1)reboot into "recovery"
2)red triangle screen
3)press VOL+ and POWER to get to the "temp recovery menu"
4)Apply sdcard:update.zip
5)should boot into a CWM recovery
((i thought it was CWM recovery that was the update.zip file in your SD card..))
it is in this CWM recovery where you select to flash the zip'ed radio.
***
i could be wrong and if i am hopefully someone can correct me/ point me and the OP in the right direction to flash radio as i want to do this for my sister's MT3GS soon as well.

I just tried that. Unfortunately, all it did was install the update.zip and then ask to reboot the phone.
Thank you for your help though.

The process is very similar to what jt.one described but first you need to obtain a update.zip version of CWM recovery. You should be able to get one through Rom Manager (found on Google Play). Once in CWM you should have an option for exploring your SD Card and flashing your ZIP file of choice

Finally got it to work, so here is what I did in case anyone wants a heads up.
First thing I did was format the sd card (i have a special card for doing crap like this)
Put the espimg.zip, and the radio zip on the sd.
I went into Rom Manager on my phone, i hit <Flash Clockworkmod Recovery>
and then <Reboot into Recovery>.
It then for some odd reason, finally gave me the correct menu to install zip from sd.
This time, the process was also different. Instead of selecting things with the power button, I had to select things with the middle button. (hitting the power button just turned off the screen)
So after going through the menu's and finding the update, I installed it, which took literally seconds.
Now everything is up and running. I am by no means any type of specialist or even remotely knowledgeable other than after I get some hands on experience, but if anyone else is having problems, maybe I can try to help you, since I had such a hard time.
Thanks again to jt.one and WhoWhere for their help and support.

[Q] HTC One V Windroid toolkit

OK, so I installed the toolkit on my laptop, and so far have managed to unlock and root my phone.
Here is the problem.
When I boot to recovery, My phone comes up green, then the red triangle. Volume up and power gives me the Android system recovery (3) and a message on the bottom
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command. all I can do is reboot the phone.
Ideally what I want is to be able to backup the phone, install a new kernel/rom and be able to restore it if I mess up.
Tried to search for help on the forum, but it didnt do me any good. Is there a newbie guide how to do this?
Thanks in advance

you have to flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP

I have downloaded the CW ROM manager and installed rom manager v5.5.3.2 current recovery 5.x.x.x latest recovery 5.8.4.5. I boot into clockwork recovery mode. get the green circle with the arrow followed by the phone with the red triangle. Press volume up + power and get menu for android system recovery. With the menu
reboot
apply update from external
wipe data
Wipe cache
apply update from cache
bottom has a message E: cant open /cache/recovery/command
So i dont think I have accomplished anything except downloaded a useless app
