RUU bricked my phone... I think?

Hi all,
I was trying to unroot my phone so I can send it back to Sprint as I'm doing an exchange and I think RUU messed up my phone.
I opened RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe to unroot my phone... my phone restarted and got the HTC loading screen. The ruu application on the computer then stopped then said something like "please get the correct ROM update utility & try again".
I tried rebooting the phone but it is stuck in a reboot loop at the HTC evo splash screen.
I can access recovery via bootloader. I have tried wiping and reloading the rom that I had on there (damagecontrol 3.2.3) but it still keeps on rebooting on the HTC evo splash screen.
Again, I do have fastboot and recovery access.
Any ideas?

Good to see that you solved your problem. Anyways, with access to bootloader, your phone is almost never bricked.

I had the exact same issue... the only thing that worked for me was to restore a nand backup of a pre OTA rom... in my case a fresh 0.3 backup.

if you have the drivers installed and it errors out you just gotta re try the ruu.exe file while its on the htc screen
happened to me, and worked the second try perfectly.

Yea, I figured as much but I didn't understand why I wasn't able to boot up the new/different rom. Oh well, I hope you all find this thread if ya'll have this problem

stuck on logo!

Hi, i rooted my htc desire then flashed rom 3 times....now piece switches on put gets stuck a green HTC logo and doesnt go further...can anyone help me?

Wrong section!
Make sure you do a full wipe when flashing and that the MD5 of the rom matches.
Also keep in mind that the first boot can take up to 10 minutes.

Do a full wipe, Data,ext,cache,system,boot and dalvik.
Download the most stable Rom you can find, CM6.1 and flash it. Wait for at least half an hour and than report back. If its working, Great! it should be!
...
If its not, than i'd suggest flashing a PB99IMG or an RUU. I'll give the details after you report back cos i am hoping you don't have to!

The problem is clockworkmod, did your create a nandroid backup ? if yes restore it and it will work again.

[Q] HELP!!! =[ After flashing a rom, DHD is now on HTC logo

Help!!!
I rooted my phone then installed clockworkmod recovery v3 (not sure if it is actually there)
I installed Radio S-off but upon getting to the bootloader I see ENG S-off
I used ROM Manager to flash the Android_Revolution_HD_2.0.13.
I ticked the wipe data and cache but didn't tick the backup existing rom (noo!)
Upon rebooting it is now stuck on the HTC logo screen =[
I got into the bootloader screen and tried the following:
*factory reset -> ended up going to the HTC logo again
*recovery -> goes to HTC logo again
pretty much choosing any option = HTC logo
I've tried formating my SD card but that didn't change anything
sniff sniff
Help please!!!!!!!

Are you running clockwork mod 3.0.0.6? if not, update to that and that should fix your flashing problems. Not more than 2 hours ago i was in your same situation
Are you using the dhd from telus or elsewhere?

Oh, I believe I installed 3.0.0.5
How do I update to 3.0.0.6, I cannot get into the recovery menu =[=[
I've been stuck with this problem for the last 4 hours XD, I'm reading all the forum threads to try and find a solution
Oh yes I'm on Vodafone

Are you able to start the process over again?
just search clockwork mod 3.0.0.6 and there is a thread here with a zip file you can download and upgrade to ver .6

Can you get into recovery? try flashing the ROM from recovery and see if that helps. I have seen many people who say that their DHD is stuck at boot screen. And almost all of them have used ROM manager to flash the ROM...so i do not know if there is something going on there with ROM manager (which it should not).
Before flashing you should have made sure that, you have Eng S-Off. Read this if necessary:

try pasting PD98IMG.zip on your SD card again, boot the phone into bootloader, and let it install that zip file again.
if that doesn't work, turn your phone off and take out the battery, then put it back again, and try again the above.
it worked for me in a similar situation, I hope it will help you also.

Thanks everyone for your help!
I was able to get past the problem by downgrading to cwm 2.5.1.3
After 5 hrs at it I was afraid that I would end up with a brick phone!!
xxo!!!

I had the same problem yesterday...moving down to a clockworkmod 2.5.x fixed the issue for me as well. Glad you got it sorted out.

Bit of help with updating phone / recovery

Hi there,
I rooted my phone using unrevoked3 last night (that was successful) eventually.
I then went on to install a ROM. At the time it was "RCMixS_v1.3.1_X-A2SD+_BravoHboot".
after reboot it kept rebooting, so battery out and then cleared data store and user stuff.
Then reboot, but hangs on HTC screen.
I cant get any further.
I tried this rom too, but hangs on HTC screen "RCMixHD_v3.6.1_ROT_++_CM7HBoot".
My phone is orange UK, i think it had 2.2 on there, but at the moment, cant check as i cant get anything to load on the phone.
Any idea how i salvage this? I was trying to load a "PB99IMG" file in. It looked good but at the end it said incorrect CID.
I assume CID = carrier ID? Any idea where i can get an orange UK PB99IMG from?
Many thanks,
Stuart

Just partition your sd card and reflash or flash Leedroid noA2sd (preferably the froyo version).
You can boot in to recovery by pulling the battery then powering on while holding volume down and then selecting recovery. In recovery go to mounts and storage and mount as mass storage, then copy the rom to the sd, full wipe and flash.

If u only got rooted ur phone by unrevoked, its not ready to flash new hboot's.
u need to be s-off to do that. so thats why u got boot-loop.

[Q] Htc wildfire rooting issue

Ok so guys i had just rooted my htc wildfire s (or atleast thought i rooted it ) and was trying to install a cyanogen mod ROM , it would not install ,if it would install it would be stuck at the htc logo screen , now i thought this would be the fault of recovery so i decided to install another recovery and flash that with cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but then when i booted in recovery it would show me the pink recovery, i got a little scared and flashed another recovery and now the recovery will not even boot . it will just go on htc logo and black screen , i tried many different recoveries but no avail , it is in s-on right now , please forgive me if this sounds noobish i really am a noob at this .please provide me with a solution and tell me if it is bricked and if i can repair it by taking it to a software shop and asking them to do it for me (Just advise me if i can come back from this)

Flash the first recovery, which actually worked, and if it installs, wipe everything and flash a basic CM7 rom. It'll work. It's just soft bricked don't worry.

actually i gave it to a software store , he said he couldn't do it as the files were not to be found ... i think it might have been bricked but seeing as i can access h-boot only and when i turn on the phone it only stays on the htc logo screen and does not proceed can you call this bricked . ? i tried the first recovery as you mentioned but it was no use ... i tried relocking and unlocking bootloader again but it seems as if that was unnecessary as nothing different happened .. im still waiting for an answer

This is really very weird.

Start from square one, unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery, if one doesn't install, try another, at least one will surely work, and then flash a new rom.
All the best.
Remember, android can never be bricked, there is always a way out.
