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
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

Recovery gives me an error

Then I click volume up and the following title and menu appear:

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?

hi
i've just made my desire S-off.
but i wasnt able to flash HBOOT Oxygen rc7

Did the same thing today, except i was running Oxygen v2.0.3.
All i did was to:
1. Download the PB99IMG_bravo_oxygen.zip from alpharev website
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Place it on the root of the sdcard (not in any subfolders)
4. Enter Hboot (vol-down + power)
5. Here i was asked to update/install , choose "yes"
6. Confirm
Done

Flashing Custom MTD/HBOOT
Once S-OFF is done, you are ready to flash the custom MTD/HBOOT. This step changes your internal memory partition table such that the new RoM can fit appropriately while leaving lot of room for user data. Once this is done, the old RoM will no longer work with the new layout of MTD. Before doing this step, ensure all your backups are in place and you have copied all necessary files to the SD Card. (The ROM .zip and the .zip for HBOOT if you are using method 2 below)
Before you do this, it is a good idea to ensure that your HBOOT download is correct and not corrupted. You can do this but checking the MD5 checksum of your download againts the MD5 checksum listed on alpharev site against the download.You can use any of the free tools available.
There are two ways to do this:
Method 1 - fastboot flash: If you downloaded the .img file linked earlier, use the following procedure to install it:
Power down the phone and turn it back on with the back button pressed down; you will see the "fastboot" screen,
From your PC command line, cd into the folder where your android-sdk is and cd into tools folder,
Connect the phone to PC via USB cable,
Run the following command: 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' replacing the .img filename with the appropriate path and file name (Eg: C:\Downloads\HTC\RoM's\bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img),
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Select bootloader then select Recovery (use volume up/down to change, and power key to accept the choice),
WARNING: Don't reboot your phone as yet because the MTD you flashed doesn't match your current Rom's layout so it will probably boot-loop or brick your phone,
Method 2 - HBOOT autoflash: If you downloaded the .zip file linked earlier, follow this method:
Rename the .zip file to "PB99IMG.zip" and copy it to the root of your SD card,
Shutdown your phone and restart it into HBOOT (Voldown + power button),
When the phone starts, it automatically will detect the zip file and install the MTD,
Now you can enter recovery and follow the procedure.
Note: Many users have had CID errors when trying this method so it is recommended to use Method 1 above

Thank you very much for the posts I have been looking everywhere for good instructions !!
Unfotunately I get the error
"This application has failed to start because adpwinapi.dll was not found. re installing the application may fix this problem"
Do I need to install android SDK manager again?
edit: nevermind. ADB doesnt recognise my phone

Download latest SDK and make sure you download Android SDK platform-tools revision 3, as well (in the additional packages)
Plus you must install the USB drivers from Unrevoked's site.

it gives my this error : cannot load bravo_aplhaspl-oxygen
what should i do?

Ive done both of that,
my list of ADB devices is still blank >.<
Ive tried using HTC sync before trying unrevoked method and still had the same issue

Did you uninstall HTC Sync?
You have to install HTC Sync first, then uninstall it but leave the drivers installed. Then plug the phone in and do the process in the unrevoked-link which davebugyi has already posted.
The adpwinapi.dll-file is in "platform-tools" folder. Just copy that file into the "tools" -folder (the folder, where the fastboot.exe-file is located) and you're done.

No, it shouldn't, but it's strongly sugggested to nandroid backup your phone beforehand.

Can anyone please explain the advantage of flashing a different HBOOT other than stock rooted one?

LOTS more available memory.
i have the oxygen hboot installed and with a dozen apps i still have 267mb free.
with the stock hboot i would be running out of memory by now

This memory would be RAM memory, right? We're not talking free space for installs, but rather free mem space for running apps?
Also, do I have to S-off to flash hboot? So far I only have rooted device (rooted using unREVOKED).

nope we are talking about space for installing apps
the oxygen hboot alters the partition sizes for system and cache.
whats left is the data partition and thats all all yours
Stock Hboot about 147mb data partition
new hboot 337
so 190mb more

[Q] I really need help now with HBoot

I used this tutorial to root my HTC Desire:
http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2011/10/perm-root-htc-desire-gingerbread-233.html
Then I was using it for half a year and few days ago I downloaded LeeDroid 3.3.3 data ++ and successfully installed it but I had only 120mb free internal memory for apps with it. I was googlin a lot and i realized that Im using wrong HBoot (im newbie in that stuff). Then I found this tutorial how to flash cm7r2 hboot on desire (its required for leedroid ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223856
I followed the steps, downloaded http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip then I copied it to my SD card and renamed it to PB99IMG and rebooted my phone. It asked me if i want to update, i chose yes but then i rebooted and got stuck at HTC logo and white screen.
So I tried to restore my previous ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 but still Im stuck at HTC logo
(after restoring it says:
Restore complete!
E: Error in /cache/recovery/log
(No space left on device)
E: Error in /cache/recovery/last_log
(No space left on device)
Im not really skilled in all these things, can someone pls give me an advice how to get back on Revolutionary hboot and my old ROM or how to get this Alpharev cm7r2 bootloader working?
EDIT: Now i managed to install leedroid from sd again, but there was force closes of everything so I did factory reset and now I pass HTC logo but Im stuck at glowing "ANDROID" logo..... really need help
I think that if I would manage to get "revolutionary" back instead of "Alpharev cm7 r2" at bootloader, my old ROM backup would work.... but i dont know how to get "Revolutionary" bootloader back !

Hi,
you might want to try the following:
Download fastboot commander from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
Download the desired HBOOT from http://alpharev.nl/
Select the HBOOT that matches the ROM you want to install
Start the fastboot program, plug in your phone with USB (powered off) and start the phone in BOOTLOADER modus (VOLUME-DOWN + POWER)
there is an option fastboot, press it. You're now able to flash your HBOOT with fast commander.
Unzip the bravo_xxxx.zip so you get an xxx.img file. load this file in Fastboot->[TAB]Hboot, Radio & Rec->Hboot and press Flash Hboot. Wait for an OK.
Exit fastboot and go to recovery. Search for USB Mount (mount your SD-CARD to the USB) and search this SD-CARD in Windows Explorer. Copy the ROM in zip format you want to install on your SD-CARD and unmount.
Now select the option install from SD and select the zip file. Let it run and reboot.
(If you selected a rom which needs an EXT2 EXT3 or EXT4 partition, then partition this first, this is also possible in the recovery menu).
Hope this helps...

Help me recover HTC One X

I've searched for 3 hours and nothing helped so:
I have an international HTC One X Unlocked on HTCDev with S-ON :
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.95.000
CID: HTC__032
MID: PJ4610000
I have installed ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 and made a backup recovery 2 days ago from it before doing anything else.
and accidentally today i did these commands:
Wipe battery stats
Wipe Dalvik cache
wipe data/factory reset
and
format /cache
format /data
format /sdcard
format /system
Of course... after rebooting... NO MORE OS BOOT UP , it gets stuck at HTC Brilliant screen and stays forever.
First thing I did was to try to flash RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe
didn't work! it says UNKNOWN ERROR (i think not the os it wants)
then i copied all the backup folders from my computer (the backup that i've made 2 days ago) on the sdcard partition which i can accesss from clockworkmod by mounting usb (and of course it was totally empty)
didn't wirk either.
How cand i put back my OS while I still have access to sdcard, bootloader and clockwork mod.
Please help me, I'm a dummy!

if you know what you are doing with explorer then you just need to drop the folder 2012-07-26.05.13.13 in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
then restore your backup in recovery
i assume if you have done "format /sdcard and /system" then wondering why your phone wont boot, you are a dummy so i will write a dummy guide for you :laugh:
yeah, formatting /system is why it wont boot anymore
here are the things you need to do to get booting again
reboot into recovery
click on "mounts and storage"
click on "mount USB storage" at bottom
plug your phone into PC via USB cable
open up computer (assuming Windows) and open up your now blank /SDCARD
make a folder called "clockworkmod" (without quotes)
open this folder then make another one inside it called "backup"
copy your 2012-07-26.05.13.13 folder from your PC to the "backup" folder
click on "Unmount" on your phone
click on "+++++Go Back+++++"
click on "backup and restore"
click on "restore"
click on "2012-07-26.05.13.13"
click on "Yes - Restore"
once complete you should be fine and dandy again

I don't know what did you erase but inside zip you have boot.img which if you deleted somehow boot.img you can flash through adb shell. Don't ask me I don't know correct command line, but you can extract it and flash itbthrough phone. I will look for exact path for recovery zip file because i have root and nandroid back up and in next post I will give you my path.

Please Help
Ok, so I know I take first prize for noob/dummy of the year but I'm really hoping someone cane help.
I recently rooted my one x and tried to install Android Revolution custom rom. Got stuck in a bootloop. Managed to then flash Cyanogenmod 9 (trip's version) however had issues with bluetooth not working and random reboots. Thought i'd give Android revolution a go again but got stuck in bootloop.....again!!! So...in all my (lack of) infinite wisdom, I booted into recovery and proceeded to format everything thinking I could just drop Leedroid's rom onto the sd card and flash it from recovery.
Whilst I thought this would work, I now have no access to the sd card. I tried mounting usb mass storage and the sdcard in recovery so I could just drag and drop it frrom windows but got the following error "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di
So, after reading through some other threads, I discovered that you could just push the zip file using adb, however, when trying this I get the error: device not found.
When launching fastboot I get
SD Checking

Hope someone out there can help.

Managed to then flash Cyanogenmod 9 (trip's version) however had issues with bluetooth not working and random reboots. Thought i'd give Android revolution a go again but got stuck in bootloop.....again!!! So...in all my (lack of) infinite wisdom, I booted into recovery and proceeded to format everything thinking I could just drop Leedroid's rom onto the sd card and flash it from recovery.
Whilst I thought this would work, I now have no access to the sd card. I tried mounting usb mass storage and the sdcard in recovery so I could just drag and drop it frrom windows but got the following error "E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di
So, after reading through some other threads, I discovered that you could just push the zip file using adb, however, when trying this I get the error: device not found.
When launching fastboot I get
SD Checking
Failed to open usb Master mode
Failed to open usb Master mode

Failed to open usb Master mode
Please plug off USB
Hope someone out there can help.

Do you have the latst Recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
If not, update to latest recovery and try to mount USB storage again.
Also you can try to use adb while you have the phone in recovery mode, not fastboot or hboot.
And, did you remember to flash the boot.img from fast boot after reflasnig the ROM? if not, that that is causing the bootloops.

wow, thankyou so much.
That was a relatively easy solution and got be back in the game baby!!!
BTW I gotta say, I was pretty happy with my one x before but now... I think i'm in love.

Sorry if this is off topic but was unsure where else to post. Had issues with random rebooting after certain apps launched so scrapped leedroid and tried out modaco. All seemed fine but then I was getting a reboot every time I tried to access (play, set as a ring tone or even just play) mp3's so I did a full wipe reflash of Leedroid and the same thing happens, full reboot when tying to do anything with MP3s
please help

Here is an alternative way without ruu
1-Mount usb in recovery
2-Copy this rom to sdcard
3-Factory reset
4-Flash rom
4-Start ruu and grab the rom.zip (you can find guides at xda for grabbing rom.zip)
5-Extract boot_signed.img and recovery.img
6-Execute fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img and fastboot flash recovery
recovery.img
7-Reboot and relock the bootloader
and now you don't need ruu and phone works well I tried this myself and it worked

Firstly, thanks for your sugggestion. One question though, won't relocking the bootloader also unroot the phone?

I am in a similar problem with my htc one x. I tried to flash android revolution but recovery would always tell me this;
E:can't open /sdcard/Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.0.0,zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
I tried to restore a backup I made from the stock system, but it just reboots shortly after showing the wallpaper. I am a real noob here and I read about updating clockwork, my version is 5.8.2.7. I do not know how to do that since I can't mount usb storage from recovery...
I really would appreciate a guide that even squirrels could follow, please

Just come across this thread, and i would like to say:
ACCIDENTALLY MY ****
There is no way you can format your partitions accidentally lmao

My phone was stuck in bootloop for 4 days. I finally relocked the bootloader and flashed my RUU. Worked perfectly after that

Can get to HBOOT, but dead end from there...

Hi,
I have a Droid Incredible (Verizon) that won't boot. I think it's toast, but wanted to list the things that I've done to see if there are any folks out there that think I may have another option besides selling it for parts.
***History***
1. I had no intention of ever rooting the phone, but the stupid "phone storage low" issue caused me to install clockworkmod and superuser so that I could resize the partitions for data/data (or so I believed at the time). In hindsight I never actually got S-OFF, and it's possible that this is where things went wrong.
2. Anyways, one day a few weeks ago after an OTA update from VZW and a reboot, the phone started looping and has never since booted back into the OS. I'd get the black and white "htc Incredible" screen, then the loud "DROID" sound, rinse and repeat. The behavior would change somewhat depending on whether I had the external SD installed or not, but regardless, the phone would never boot up. I tried a bunch of things I found on various forums, but nothing has worked. The current behavior is that the device just sits at the black/white "htc Incredible tm" screen upon boot .
***Things I've Tried***
1. I can get into HBOOT and managed to unlock the bootloader, but from there, I can't get it to factory reset and I can't get it to load any other firmware (likely because I'm still S-OFF). I've got clockworkmod installed, and when I try to install any new Roms from there, I get a bunch of errors:
E: Invalid command or argument
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Anything I try to do in Clockworkmod errors out (wipe data, show log, install zip from SD, etc.). Either I get an error that the dir can't be mounted or the file can't be found.
2. I've also re-deployed the RUU (PB31IMG.zip), but it didn't work. I got to the "Loading… [PB31IMG.zip]" screen where it hung for a few minutes as the blue bar crept up, but then it flashed a message saying "No image or wrong image!" and kicked me back to the HBOOT menu again without asking me if I want to upgrade. I then go to FASTBOOT and hit REBOOT, and then it sent me back to the black/white "htc incredible" screen where it once again hangs and won't boot the OS.
3. Oddly, whenever I load anything on the external SD card and then put it on the phone, the phone will read the SD card once, but then seems to corrupt the file. If I put the SD card back in my Win7 machine, it always tells me the card needs to be formatted again. I re-format it to Fat32 and try again, but the cycle just repeats. I've tried 4-5 different SD cards that work fine in other devices, but the behavior is always the same. So I'm sure the SD cards are not the issue.
***Help!***
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot from here? I've spent hours on this and am about to give up and declare this phone no longer worthy of my time, but I figured I'd check here first.
This could all stem from the fact that I'm still S-ON, but I thought I'd at least be able to flash back to factory.
Here's what my HBOOT screen displays (notice that the bootloader is unlocked, but I'm still S-ON)

I would fastboot flash the stock recovery, do a factory reset from hboot, fastboot flash back to cwm recovery, and then see if you can get cwm to work correctly. Or try the ruu again after the factory reset.

Thanks for the thoughts. I thought I'd already tried fastboot flashing the stock recovery with no success, but maybe I did something wrong?
Here's what I did:
1. Downloaded a recent copy of PB31IMG.zip
2. Via my Win7 machine, loaded PB31IMG.zip onto an SD card formatted as Fat32
3. Put the SD card in my Dinc
4. Boot into HBOOT
5. Select Fastboot
6. Fastboot finds the image, spends a few minutes loading it, but then errors out with "No image or wrong image!" message. Boo.
FWIW, I've only been able to get adb to recognize my device intermittently so adb isn't really an option (unless I can figure out

That will only work if your s-off. With an unlocked bootloader you need to take that stock recovery pb31img.zip and extract the recovery.img file out with 7zip or the like. Place the img in the same folder on your pc as adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Boot to the bootloader and then on your pc open a cmd prompt to where fastboot.exe is. At the prompt type without quotes " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ". Do the same thing to flash back to cwm.

Thanks again for the help - I really appreciate it.
I was able to get the recovery.img loaded:
\miniadb_inc>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3514 KB)... OKAY [ 0.531s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.059s]
finished. total time: 1.604s
I then clicked on FASTBOOT --> RECOVERY and the phone rebooted. After reboot, I see the green arrows for a minute or so, and then... the red triangle with the exclamation point. Is that normal?

Ok, quick update. After getting the red triangle with the exclamation point, I did the following:
- Power button + Up Volume to get to the System Recovery menu.
- Selected "Wipe cache partition"
- Selected "Wipe data/factory reset"
The factory reset just errored out all over the place (see attached image). It's almost like the boot partition is the only partition that is readable on this phone, and the partition that contains the OS is completely hosed. This is pretty consistent with everything else I've seen. Anytime I try to factory reset or do anything else, the phone just throws a bunch of errors basically telling me it can't mount drives and can't find directories.
Upon reboot, the phone still just hangs at the black/white "htc Incredible" screen.
Any thoughts on where to go from here?

Instead of doing the factory reset from the recovery menu, try it right from the main hboot screen. If that dosent work it sounds like the data partition is is fubar.
Are you able to use adb now? If you can, i have another sugestion i came across in another thread. A guy said he could not access, format, or use his data partition. He claims he fixed it by adb pulling the file system from a working inc, and adb pushing the files to the borked inc, fixing it. If you can get adb to stay connected long enough to push the files it might be worth a try.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
I tried that but it's pretty much the same results.
HBOOT--> Factory Reset --> Screen with green arrows --> Red triangle with Exclamation point --> - Power button + Up Volume to get to the System Recovery menu --> Reboot:
Phone hangs on the black/white "htc Incredible" splash screen
One other odd note - if I do this same factory reset process with the USB cable *unplugged*, the instead of hanging on the black/white splash screen, it just goes into an infinite loop (black/white splash screen --> HTC quietly brilliant screen --> droid eye --> back to the black/white splash screen). FWIW this isn't new behavior, I just forgot to mention it earlier. In fact this is what the phone started doing once Verizon pushed the OTA update that screwed up the phone in the first place (there are a number of threads on this over at HTC and VZW forums, but their solutions aren't working for me).
I think this thing is a brick. If anyone has any recommendations for tools that can be used to analyze the partitions on a phone that won't boot, let me know. Otherwise this thing is getting sold for parts : )

Ok, some more progress. Most importantly, I learned that adb has a shell! I obviously didn't RTFM well enough.
Anyways, with the shell I was able to verify that the partitions on the phone are accessible (at least from a Windows machine) and I can, in fact, write files to the device (using "adb push" to push files to /sdcard, for example). That's great as it proves that the storage on the device *is* accessible, but just not from CWM. I followed some instructions that I followed partially before (http://androidforums.com/incredible...ow-unlock-downgrade-achieve-s-off-htcdev.html) in an attempt to see if I could get S-OFF. This tutorial is nice because most of the actions are via adb and fastboot instead of using the UI on the phone, which I couldn't get to. I was able to do most of the work I needed to get S-OFF via adb instead of using CWM or some other recovery tool, which was key, since CWM always tells me that it can't read or write any partitions.
I was actually able to get Froyo installed and boot into it! That's the first time this POS has booted into anything in almost a month!!
Now to my current problem - the last few steps of the tutorial linked above require that I install superuser and unrevoked, and suggest that this be done via CWM. Unfortunately, CWM can't read any of my data partitions, so this doesn't work for me. Not many others seem to have this problem, so googling it doesn't turn up any help.
Is there any way I can use ADB to install superuser and unrevoked forever? I also have access to the UI via Froyo and could conceivably install apks as well.
Here are the instructions from the tutorial that don't work for me, as they rely on CWM:
******************
use the recovery menu on your phone to:
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-install zip from sd card(chose your superuser file)
-install zip from sd card(chose your forever file)
******************
Those last two steps - install zip from sd card - are the ones that completely fail for me. CWM just gives me a bunch of "E:can't mount /sdcard/" errors.
If anyone has any ideas on how to install superuser and unrevoked using ADB, I'm all ears : )
Thanks!

So I know you have been going in circles but at least you can boot into froyo! Do you have a spare SD card though? If not try reformatting your current SD again. It could be that your SD card has just gone bad though so it might be worth borrowing one from a friend to find out. If you're booting into froyo though that should mean you have access to /data now so I think those troubles are behind you. You don't really need to flash superuser.zip if you're just planning on flashing a new rom though. Unrevoked forever is the s-off tool and since you're already on froyo (with the froyo radio) that is all you need!

Thanks for the thoughts. I've got like 5 SD cards, and I've been able to validate with my other Android phone that they are all good.
I agree that it's good to be on Froyo, but to be able to swap to a different ROM, I still need S-OFF. And the only way I can see to get S-OFF is to install unrevoked forever. And the only method that I can find for installing unrevoked forever is via Recovery, and CWM just doesn't appear to be able to see any of my disks, so I need a different option for installing unrevoked forever besides CWM. Maybe it's time to ditch CWM and try a different recovery tool. I suppose I'll give amon_ra a try and see if that changes anything. Or is there some other way to install unrevoked?

Try using unrevoked 3.22 pc program instead of the forever zip.
Download unrevoked http://dinc.does-it.net/Unrevoked/Unrevoked_3.22.exe, to your pc. Boot the phone and enable usb debugging if its not already. Do not plug the phone in yet. Run unrevoked, when it opens click file at the top and select custom recovery. Then download and select this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/recovery.img, as the custom recovery. Then plug in the phone and continue by following the prompts. If all goes well, it will reflash the recovery and install su. You can then install busybox from the market.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this a few times and while Unrevoked is reporting success, I'm still S-ON and BusyBox and ROM Manager report that I'm not rooted. Back in CWM, CWM still reports errors mounting all drives and is basically crippled. In addition to the "can't mount SD card" errors, I'm also seeing "E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" and "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command". Weird. Can't tell if the mount errors are causing my inability to root or my inability to root is causing the mount errors.
(I also tried using AmonRa and got the same "can't mount" blah blah issues). Time for a drink : )

Thanks, but that link still fails for me. Is the title of the thread [HOW-TO] Fix 5 vibrate and black screen? This one works for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14440621 (p= instead of t= in the URL).
If that's the thread you're pointing to, then I read through the thread earlier today and was hoping that the fix for the SD card would help (running fastboot oem enableqxdm 0), but that didn't. I don't seem to have the problem about not being able to communicate with the phone using USB - USB connectivity is working when the phone boots into Froyo and I'm also able to use ADB in Froyo and Recovery.
Unfortunately CWM (or any other Recovery tool) still can't read any of my drives, and while Unrevoked claims to be successful, I'm still S-ON.
I'm still poking around for a solution, I'll reply back if I discover anything.

I appreciate the thoughts, but I think we're talking about different issues here. One of your issues seemed to be that you couldn't access the device at all via USB. I don't have that problem. My USB connection has always been fine. My problem is that CWM can't mount the SD card (or any other drives, for that matter). Everything mounts fine in Froyo, so I'm guessing it has to do with the way the drives are mounted in Recovery vs. Froyo.
The thread you referenced stated that the fix for not being able to access the SDcard was the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 fix. I tried that a few times but it didn't make any difference.
Thanks for the thoughts!
