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
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459
@ rjmjr69
Hboot information is:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.79.0000
MICROP-041F
TOUCH PANEL-ATMWLC03_16ac
RADIO-1.39.00.04.26

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?

Hey guys, well IM afraid to say this but... I am noob to smartphone hacking and installing roms. I finally rooted my htc evo with the help of DjR3Z from the droid demos website and successfully installed Amon Ra recovery on it. Now Im ready for installing cyanogenmod 6. Heres the problem.. I have no idea what Im doing. I did go to cyanogen's website but his tutorial is very vague. Plus he does not give you actual links and steps on what zips or files to download. IM basically asking for a dummies guide to installing cyanogen. Kinda like the recent tutorial to root the htc evo when it got updated to stock android 2.2. IF Anyone can take the time and help me out I would really appreciate it.
dont you just download the rom zip and flash it?
Go into the evo development section and look for the cyanogen mod thread. On the first page there will be a link to the cm6 Rom and a link for Google apps. Download them both. When finished transfer both zips to your SD card. After your done with that boot into recovery and choose flash zip from SD.....(I'm not sure of the exact wording on amon ra bc I've always used clockwork.) Than choose the cm6 zip that you had transferred to your card. After that is done flashing do the same thing with the Google apps zip you had transferred to your card. When that's done flashing reboot and voila u will have cm6.

This most likely is obvious but i am really new rooting phones. ALso before i do anything on my phone should i do a format clean on my sdcard or leave as is? thx
Guide:
1. Plug phone into PC.
2. Select Mount as Disk Drive.

7. Reboot phone holding Volume Down + Power button at the same time.
8. Select recovery.
9. In recovery, select "Backup/restore."

13. Select "Wipe data/factory reset"
14. Confirm choice when prompted.
15. When finished, select "Wipe Cache"
16. Confirm choice when prompted.
17. Select "Wipe Dalvik-cache"
18. Confirm choice when prompted.
19. Select "Return" (if using Amon Ra 1.8.0): if not on 1.8.0 press both volume
buttons at the same time to return the the previous menu.
20. Select "Flash zip from sdcard."
21. Choose CM6.
22. Confirm response when prompted.
23. When finished, select "Flash zip from sdcard."
24. Choose Google Apps.
25. Confirm response when prompted.
26. When finished select reboot.
27. ENJOY!
Thanks for that step by step guide.
I will assume these are the same steps needed for flashing a new kernel, radio, etc?
For new kernel and radios, just do steps 1-8, (for kernels do 12-15), then 16-24.
One thing you might want to do (and isn't mentioned) is perform a Nandroid backup of your phone (performed between steps 8 and 9) before flashing anything.
Thanks! That's exactly the type of info I was looking for!
thanks so much i really appreciate just a quick quesion those wo zips do i extract them and then put on the sdcard or just copy send to desktop and then transfer to sdcard? also when moutned as disk drive do i have usb debugging on? Thx!

IM wondering if i dont have the right download or link to the right cm6 file. Also when i turn off the phone and i go into the recovery window where the androids are skating it asks me to update. Do i do the update and do no to reboot or just no to the update and reboot? If someone can give me the right links to cm6 and the google apps i would appreciate it. Also when i download them do I extract and send to desktop via sd card or copy after there downloaded and send to sd card. Thx!

Is a titanium backup recommended as well? All these different types of backups are confusing me.

Are you NAND unlocked? This is usually the error that occurs when you try to flash CM6 on a non-NAND unlocked phone...

I had a non-rooted 2.2. device and used DJREZ (?) youtube method to rollback to 2.1. Unrevoked 3 was used if I recall correctly.
So apparently one of my options in the HBOOT screen will be a NAND backup?

No problem.
One of your options in the recovery screen will be to backup.
I don't think unrevoked3 unlocks NAND...
Try following Toasts method and go from there.

im really not sure how do i find out if im nand-unlocked do i have to nand-locked because in amon ra recovery screen it allows me to do a nandroid backup. I also went by djr3z's youtube video of downgrading to android 2.1 stock, rooting 2.1, then finally rooting 2.2 with Amon Ra recovery. I think the problem when I power down and go to the skateboard android screen it asks me to update should i do that and say no to rebbot or say no to both updating and rebooting the device? thx!
It let's you do a Nandroid backup, but if it won't let you boot CM6 then that's a pretty good indicator that you probably don't aren't NAND unlocked.
Try loading up the Toast Part 2 link and seeing how it goes. If it complete's correctly then you definitely without a doubt have NAND unlocked.

OK. I have read a few things but am still lost
I have an HD that will not upgrade to OTA 1.72.405.3 it crashes at about 20%
I have to remove battery and restart
Now can someone help me how to get the upgrade running as i installed superuser just to remove some of the apps like amazon facebook ect
I have reset my phone to factory settings and formatted the sd card,
If someone could give me a easy guide..as I dont want to brick it
Thank you
Similar issue here,
i've used su a way ago to remove some pre-installed apps like amazon MP3, facebook, etc. Then played a while with DHD Revolution ROM, then went back to the stock rom (just restored it from a backup). Now i can't update to 1.72: it crashes at about 20%. Tried to do a factory reset, still the same. It says: the md5's for /system/app/facebook.apk don't match.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get the phone completely back to a stock state?
This is what I got from HTC
Thank you for contacting us. In regards to fota update I can help you with that. We advise you to check followings ; If the update fails for some reason this is something the customers can try. The OTA update is downloaded to the phone and is placed in a folder called Download on the SD card. Using a file explorer, browse to this folder and you should find the downloaded update. The file should have an obvious name, beginning with OTA_x_Froyo_....... Tghis file will be a zip file. Rename the file to update.zip. In general, you do not need to put in .zip, as it will already be flagged as a zip file, and doing so would end up with a file called update.zip.zip, which will not work. To run these update follow these instructions: 1. Take the battery out and put it back in without starting the phone. 2. Press and hold the Volume Down button. 3. While still holding Volume Down, press and release the Power button. 4. Keep pressing Volume Down until you see 3 skateboarding androids on the bottom of the screen. release the Volume Down button and wait a few seconds 5. Press Volume Down to navigate to Recovery in the menu and press the Power button to select it. 6. When you see a triangle with a exclamation mark !, press Volume Up and Power at the same time. 7. You should now see blue text and the option to Apply sdcard:update.zip 8. Navigate to it using the Volume keys, and select it using the Power button. The phone will hopefully now install the update and after its done reboot the phone
And this is what happened when I ran it..
I have reinstalled the amazon app.
E/ can't find caceh/recovery/command
If I download the update via settings/about phone/system software updates it says E/ can't find checeh/recovery/command
If i press volume up and the powwer button it then says

Update fails if you remove any system apps.
You can still get back to stock by following this guide.
If you update to 1.72 using that method you will loose root forever though.
You can do it this way if you want 1.72 with root.
Oh yeah don't use the root package from that thread. It will keep force closing. Use this one instead.

Hey Guys,
I've had my HTC Desire for over a year, and I've finally managed to break it (or so I think)
A few months back I rooted my phone and since they I've been installing various ROMs.
I recently purchased an app on the store that requires 2.2 and hasn't been updated for 2.3, and as I was running Gingerbread I was looking for a ROM that would downgrade my device back to 2.2.
I downloaded and installed an official ROM for 2.2 and immediately installed an OTA update, since then my phone has bootlooped. I've tried to install other ROMs through recovery but I either come up with a 'signature failed' error or a '(status 2)' error.
I'm guessing I'll need to install ClockworkMod again, but I have no idea how to, and after searching for tutorials how to do it manually, I'm having trouble understanding them.
Running HBOOT 0.93
The phone isn't branded by any company.
If there's anything else you need to know please ask and I will provide the information ASAP
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this, also.
EDIT!
An error message appears when I enter recovery displaying
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

I guess you cannot access rom/clockworkmod recovery?
My only idea is a hard factory reset (you will loose all data with this operation):
1.) Boot phone into hboot (start it with pressed volume down and power button)
2.) Navigate with volume buttons to "CLEAR STORAGE"
3.) Enter with power button

I press +Vol and Power and it gives me these options
Reboot system now

I tried the 'ClearStorage' method and I'm having no luck with that.
I'm guessing I'm looking for an official unmodded ROM. However that might not be the case. :/

I don't have an option to do that since I'm using the stock recovery; maybe if I can install ClockworkMod somehow...
However I'm not sure how to do this since my phone wont actually boot to let me install it from the ROM Manager APK.

Okay, there's a list. What exactly am I looking for?
How do I know which is the right file for me?
Download the one according to your software and baseband version number and after download check the md5 value also.

A complete ruu is needed, not only the ota. So download my linked ruu, rename it into PB99IMG.zip, copy it to the root of your sd card (so not in any folder), boot your phone into hboot and run the flash operation.

Thanks for clearing that out but the link you provided it's a RUU.exe which can only be flashed from PC to flash the ruu from hboot you need zip version of that ruu.i am saying this cause when i was flashed ruu from hbbot renaming the ruu.exe didn't work for me i had to download to zip file from the shipped-roms.com

Sorry for the wait in reply.
Okay, I did that with the PB99IMG.zip file and I'm still having no luck, maybe there's another step after that what I've missed out?
I placed the PB99IMG file to the root of the SD and the HBOOT loaded it, what am I supposed to do next?
I tried rebooting the phone after this, and I still get the same loop.
The HTC screen shows, then it seems to restart (probably because there's nothing on the device for it to load)
EDIT
I tried both ZIPs that I was linked to
My last idea is to try this way:
1.) Create goldcard with linux:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html?m=1
2.) Rename my linked ruu in "update.zip" after downloading (in case you don't have it any more)
3.) Copy this file on the goldcard
4.) Insert goldcard in your phone, go to recovery and apply the update.zip on your sd card
Maybe the goldcard can avoid the signature verification failure.

On the sticky thread there is a link for cwm thread, however I'm not quite sure which filesystem to choose, I'm going to install through recovery, seems safer for me. I want to install cwm for 2 purposes, first I'm planning to backup my stock rom so that I can always flash it back if I need my warranty and second I'm planning to flash cm9 to my phone. I'm not quite sure what is the diffrence between rfs and ext4 is Currently I'm on 2.2.1 stock rom.
Actually I found the proper version of CWM to install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
But I can't apply it, when I enter recovery mode the options I have are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chace parition
Pheraps I should rename the zip file I downloaded to update.zip? I can't select any other zip from the sd card and if I press "apply sdcard:update.zip" it searches for update.zip and fails to find it.

1-go to recovery
2-apply update from sd card

4-chose the cwm file
5-flash it
6-wait while it finished
7-reboot your phone

This is the log I get when I click apply sdcard:update.zip:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Because the name of the zip is just not update.zip.
1.first copy the zip to the root of sdcard
rename the zip to update.zip and install as instructed
Press thanks if i helped u

I flashed it but I can't seem to be able to enter to recovery now, power+home buttons just keep me on the samsung logo (not the flashing one, the first one) my phone works but just can't enter to recovery. When I flashed it, it seemed to work, but I don't know why I can't enter
Mates you have to help me!!! I ordered an order to reboot into recovery from rom manager and my device doesn't start now, I know it was stupid but I'm not sure what to do now, I can get it to download mode and to the first samsung logo but not past it

First you have to root and format to ext4, before installing CWM.
Download mode, remove battery, insert battery, press power, home, volume down, at the same time.
