What method did you use. What is your phone software and hardware setup?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

this is the method that i used [ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ v2.2 (works with all version)(2/1/11). im sure i did something wrong do not want to make it seem like i am placing the blame on the dev that wrote this. as for the other info well lets just say im an ass cus i didnt write it down like it was recomended. if it helps any i bought it a month ago max 2 months not shure it that helps.

Can you Boot into Recovery? (Hold Power+Volume Down when phone is off)
Did you create a Nandroid backup?

yes i did trying it now thank you for the help

after i boot into recovery what is next

go down to where it says recovery using the down volume button and click on with the the power button. Hopefully this will take you into recovery mode. If it does take you into recovery mode go down to where it says wipe cache partition and click on it and select wipe. Then go to where it says advanced and click on it. Then click on dalvik cache and click on the then select wipe. If you can do this they you can try to reboot your phone. If not. Let me know.
If you didn't do a backup and you can get into recovery you can do a data factory reset. Its on the green recovery menu.
If you cant get into any of that and you get stuck on a red triangle try holding the power button and the volume up and you should see a menu with a factory reset. click on that and it should wipe your phone.

i tried the first step and it did not take me to recovery mode and of course i did not do a back up cus im a dumb ass. I did manage to get to the screen with the red triangle and did a factory rest. ok another stupid question do i reboot the system or select apply sdcard update zip.

if you did a factory data reset just reboot. Hopefully this will get you back.

It might take a few extra minutes to start up so give it a few extra minutes.

on the white htc evo screen

has it been more that 5 minutes.

still on the evo screen sorry about the delay was talking to my wife, she doesnt know i screwed up my phone had to keep her occupied

Ok give me a minute. Were having storms here so my internet is slow. First you will need a SD card for your phone. Clean it out except for one file you will need to download.
You need to download pc36ing. Zip for 3. 70. 651. 1 just search the form and you can get it for free.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

got the card and the file extracting it to the new sd card as i type this

ok dont extract the file. Just put the whole zip file on the sd card. Once you do this turn off the phone. Pull the battery if you have to. Then start the phone by holding the power button down and the down volume button. This should that us to the boot loader. One click down you should see the HBOOT usb at the bottom. Click down to go there. Once there click the power button then select fastboot, then bootloader. If everything went well you should be ask to flash something. Then select your file on the sd card.

i see what happened. this is why i dont use auto scripts. if one command fails, there is no possible way to find out which. just unroot using an ruu or a pc36img.zip and then do zikronix's there will be root tutorial. i'll link it in my sig soon.

doesnt appear to be reading the file says no image. to be honest not sure if i am doing this right. did you want me to use two different sd cards.

make sure it's named pc36img.zip exactly. and is on the root of ur sdcard (not in any folders). i have the method linked in my sig now btw.

try to follow the above link. This might be a little easier. Don't worry your phone can see be saved. If all else fails your phone is not rooted so you can take it to Sprint and tell them that your phone is jacked and you need a warranty replacement. Last resort.

[Q] Evo Sprint can't boot in, how to install recovery?

My Evo can't boot in android, it just turn on and restart after the Evo logo appear. And when I press power + volume down button I go in hboot mode, click on recovery and after that it's freeze with a picture of a phone , an "!" in a triangle.
I wonder If I can install recovery in this case or not? and how?
I've download PC36IMG.ZIP and supersonic recovery with sdk tool, so how anyone please help me, I need to try to install another ROM to sure it's hardware problem or ROM problem.

If you give me ten minutes I will attach it for you when I get to lappy.
Edit: Tada. Boot into the bootloader, select yes to update and then reboot.

yes, put on sdcard, allow bootloader to read and update and you are good to go as far as recovery is concerned. good luck!

The PC36IMG is the system file the bootloader recognizes as like a system updater. And did you select update and then to reboot, once prompted?

sorry but I don't see the "update" to choose.
I press power + volume down button => it take me to the hboot interface.
The menu there are : fastboot - recovery - clear storage - simlock - hboot usb.
5s later it start to run the PC36IMG file with no notification and log, very fast and disappear.
So, what would I do now?

Two things to double check, to be sure that that the bootloader will recognize PC36IMG. 1) the PC36IMG must be named exactly that. It has to be capital letters, and you do not want it to say PC36IMG.zip, just PC36IMG. The phone automatically recognizes and labels it as a zip file. So if you named it PC36IMG.zip, it will ultimately be named PC36IMG.zip.zip, and will not be recognized.
2) Be sure that the PC36IMG is on the root (main directory) of your SD card, and not within any folders. It won't be recognized if it is in a folder.
If you make sure of those two things, then the bootloader should scan and find the PC36IMG, and instead of seeing it searching and the green lettering pop up, then disappear, you will see it ask you if you want to update, use volume up to select yes. Hope that helps you out.
Edit: And yes, I went to download the PC36IMG attatched above in this thread, and it is indeed labeled PC36IMG.zip. Rename it to PC36IMG (just remove the .zip) That should take care of it.

Also, I never saw this confirmed in the thread, but you were previously rooted and had a custom recovery prior to this problem, correct? And you are indeed s off at the bootloader?

If you're s on and not rooted yet, I dont think you'll just be able to flash recovery. You need to root it first, then flash recovery. You should download an RUU or a PC36IMG of a factory rom. That will get you back to stock. From there, you can run Unrevoked to root it first though (you need to be rooted to flash roms). I will attatch a link with all of the PC36IMG's (you run from bootloader) and RUU's (you run from computer). You can use either method to get the phone back to stock condition (what I recommend). You will at least be able to boot then. From there you can decide if you want to root it and flash a ROM. Read up a bit more also, it will benefit you.

I'll try anything to wake up it, I thing it's not the Hardware problem because the phone can start but can't go in the OS. But, mine is Sprint CDMA Evo, do you have any CDMA stock ROM for me to download and flash?

It's not a hardware problem, well, most likely not. Download a PC36IMG from the link I provided for you. It's hard to say which one you need, but try this one first. http://db.tt/gqTAPS1. That is a factory, unrooted ROM for the Evo. It is the latest software, 3.70. It may or may not work for you (you may need an older one, but not sure) What you need to do is download that file, rename it exactly PC36IMG. Put it on the main directory of your SD card. Shut the phone off completely. Hold Volume down and Power simultaneously until you reach the bootloader. At this point, the bootloader should scan the sd card, find the pc36img and ask you to update. You would then press volume up to select yes. Once it starts, let it run through its course. It should take a few minutes to complete, and you will see a couple different screens. whateveer you do, dont pull the battery while it's updating, and be sure you're battery has some charge on it, so it doesnt die in the process. I hope that helps. If that update successfully completes, the phone should be exactly how it came out of the box. Factory Rom. Good luck.

thank you k2, I'm downloading and will flash it A.S.A.P, I'll tell you the result.

Bit off topic but not really...
My EVO was rooted running cm7 with the latest clockwork gotten from and installed from rom manager.
Ran fine for about a week. Then right after pressing send on a replied email, reboot!
Crap I thought I was gonna have to retype the whole thing again...
Nope, it turns out the email had enough time to send but the phone never did reboot.
Just got itself in a loop. White HTC logo, vibrate, white htc logo,vibrate...
Could get to boot loader but when trying to access recovery I would go back into the same loop.
Kinda gave me the impression that the recovery partition was corrupted.
I was already out so I thought "what the hell" and took it to the sprint store. The tech was looking and working on the thing for literally over an hour on my phone (took about 3 hours from when I brought it in). Then finally the tech came out and asked for me. I was positive he had finally figured out it was rooted and was gonna tell me to screw off. Well, instead he said "honestly, I can't figure out what the heck is wrong with this thing, I'm just going to replace it for you,I'll be right back".
OK so now I'm expecting a refurbed phone with my battery and ad card shoved in it. He came back with a new EVO box...
Then he handed me the new one with the 8gb (I only had a 2 in mine) card and the original battery (I have the extended one). Then he said "your card battery charger and everything else is in the box".
SCORE! Haha sometime I actually like sprint...
Moral of the story: if all else fails take it to the store.s

[Q] Did I brick my EVO?

If every time I power on my EVO and it goes to the black screen with the image of the phone and red triangle, did I brick the phone? I can get into bootload but as soon as I try to go into recovery to flash the ROM, it goes back to the black screen with the red triangle. Do I have any options?

Your phone isn't bricked. That screen means you don't have a custom recovery installed. What were you doing that led up to this? Does your bootloader still show Ship S off? If it is S off, then you can just flash a PC36IMG of a custom recovery, which I'll attatch (Amon Ra V2.3). So, if you're S off, download the PC36IMG, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. If you can't currently boot into a rom, then the easiest way to put the file on the card will be to put the card in a card adapter, and put it directly into your computer, or put the card in a different phone if you have access to one, and then transfer the file. Anyways, once you get the file on the card, boot to the bootloader. It'll scan and ask to update. Say yes. Once its done, it'll ask to reboot. Say no, and then select recovery. You should now boot to Amon Ra V2.3. From there you can flash a rom and what not.

Thank you good sir! You just saved me from getting chewed out by my wife

Hold up, the phone says Ship S-On, I was putting the auto root program on and Im not sure what I did. But I put the attachment on the SD card and did the power + down vol button. It went thru the file and just went back to the HBOOT screen. I'm kind of lost now

Well, your bootloader is S on, unfortunately that means you're not rooted, and won't be able to flash the recovery image I posted up for ya. You need to get S off before you can recovery. What root method did you use initially?
When you try to boot up into the phone, by turning it on normally, what result do you get? Does it turn on? If it does, then you need to re root. IF you can not get your phone to boot, and the only two screens you get to is the bootloader, and the black screen with the Triangle, then you're going to need to run an RUU, or what would be easier, is to run a PC36IMG of an RUU. I'll post a link for you. Download the file, and name it exactly PC36IMG, and place it on your sd card. The bootloader should detect it, if it's named correctly, and as long as it's on the main directory of your sd card (the PC36IMG needs to be named exactly that, in capital letters. Also, it must not be in any folders on your sd card, it has to be on the main directory) Once you get that to run successfully, you'll be flashed back to Stock, and you should be able to boot into the ROM. It will be stock, unrooted, just as it was when you bought the phone. From that point, you'll need to re root, in order to be able to flash a rom. Let me know if you have further questions.

Desire HD stuck on welcome screen after 2.3 update

Hello everyone,
im in urge need of help. I somehow failed while updating to 2.3 :/
I thought that the update was done since the loading bar went to the right and stood there for a good couple of minutes. So i took the battery out. Now as i turn the phone on i only get to see the htc sign on a white background.
I tried holding the volume down key and the power button at once. I get into the recovery menu or whatever it is called. There i've chosen factory reset: i can see a update screen again. The bar doesnt move from left to right though. After 15 sec the phone resets itself and i can see the htc logo again
Recovery only shows me a phone image with a exclamation mark
I never installed anything custom on the phone. It is as i bought it from the shop. I initially had 2.2 on it.
Anyone help please

I will guess you need to put a ROM file on your SD card and select install file from sd card in recovery. If something went wrong during update you proberly dont have a Android system installed right now.
But if your on stock rom I'm not sure if that will be possibl, but hopefully somebody with more knowledge could answear that...
Good luck

If you pulled the battery while it was updating something like the radio, then you have messed it up.
I'd suggest downloading the Gingerbread RUU and trying it again. Sadly you may now lose all the data on you phone.

If anyone could hit me up with the details how Im supposed to bring back my desire hd to live id be forever grateful!!!

Click the link in my sig, head to RUUs and download the Gingerbread RUU. Once downloaded, plug you handset into your computer, run the RUU~.exe .
If that fails to work, with the RUU~.exe still running open a search window on your computer and search for "rom.zip", I will be in a hidden temp folder somewhere in your userdata.
Rename this rom.zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and copy to your SDcard. Now turn off your phone, and power on while holding volume down. The bootloader should see the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.

dont think that this is possible, as he never had a custom revovery à la ClockworkMod installed. So he cant choose which zip to flash.

Damn! I can't find the option to make a e-blowjob but rest assured that if such an option would be there, you'd be the first one to receive it
Thanks a lot! It works. I had my doubts as during the whole instalation my phone showed the htc logo on the white background several times(i thought that it got worse), but in the end i got it back runing!
So happy! Thanks 1.000.000 times and once again: THANKS!

Which method worked the RUU~.exe or the PD98IMG.zip?

[Q] Bootloader Keeps Trying to Flash PD98IMG (Bug Loop)

Good day everyone!
Explanation fell free to skip...
So I have my HTC Desire HD, fully rooted, with Eng-S OFF, Radio OFF, the 1.1.1.1 and all that.
After 2 days running coredroid v.8 phone went crazy and started rebooting (I suspect it was the launchpro app).
I did a full wipe and went to reflash the room but it was not working.
So I tried downgrading again but here's the problem:
Real Problem
Everytime I try to enter the bootloader the
"SD Checking Screen" comes up "Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]"
But my my PD98IMG.zip for some reason is corrupt.
If I choose yes to update SD Zip it fails on step "[4]- Fail-UZ". The rest is ok and in the end syas "Update Fail" Press power to reboot.
The damn thing is that when I reboot this cycle starts again and again! (sd checking....loading...)
If I choose not to update I Still have to reboot which leads me back to the cycle!
Please might community! Tell me how to solve this!
I dont have anywhere else where I could mount my SD Card..
Is there any way to cancel the commands that pushes the HTC to update the zip?
Problem is that the phone is not found on command prompt when this booting begins.
Any ideas??
Best regards everyone,
Joao LUiz

I had the same problem with coredroid v7.1,phone booting,enter my pin and the restart after restart.....but taking out the battery solved my problem

Any ideas??
Best regards everyone,

1. Take out your battery.
2. Take out memory card.
3. Put back battery and boot into bootloader. And choose recovery.
4. Put back your memory card.
5. You can do whatever you need to do.
Some advice, move your PD98IMG file to other directory when not used. Don't put at root folder.
Edit: Why are you putting PD98IMG.zip for?

Went and bought an Microsd usb adapter. Plugged the MicroSD, formated, changed the PD98IMG. zip for a new one.
Plugged in the phone the update went through fine. However when I rebooted only got HTC white screen.
I removed the battery to make it reboot again, now in bootloader. And guess?
The freakin thing is asking for the update again!!! God damn it!
As I see it my phone is with a command that keeps telling it to boot the image. Any ideais on how do I cancel this command?

Thanks for the reply darren.
I was trying to run PD98img just to see if it would stop asking for updates.
I did as you suggested but now when I click Recovery I get a black screen with an HTC on it and a red exclamation point inside a triangle.
Before I was getting a SYNC sign like it was looking for my SD card. The sd is running fine on the adapter...oh well...

So, You restored your DHD using a PD98IMG and now after restoration your stuck either at the bootloader or at the white screen with the green HTC logo?
Firstly what PD98IMG did you flash? 1.32.405.6, 1.72.405.6, 2.32.405.6 or other?
Secondly, can you access the stock recovery menu and attempt a factory reset from there? - Remove & reinsert battery, hold Vol Down + Power. You should get a plain menu in blue if I recall with 2-3 options. One should be factory reset/restore. Use volume to navigate & power to enter.

Andy,
Yep my phone updated on PD98IMG and now I'm stuck at bootloader or the white with green logo!
The PD98IMG was 1.32 from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
I did as you suggested. Clicked factory wipe, it took me to a black screen with the htc phone on it + a big green syncing symbol and at the bottom a meter bar with a MicroSD card logo to the right of it.
It went black after a short time , then the device rebooted back to HTC white screen.
Does it mean it worked? Could it be my SD card ?
Again thank you all for the replies,
I'm going crazy over here!

Plus
Now on bootloader screen it says Hboot USB Plug.
But when I go cmd and type adb shell it says error device not found.
If I try to go into recovery I get the Black screen with red triangle and exclamation point.

Is your phone still eng s-off? By right, flashing PD98IMG will revert it to s-on..

Oh great! Now how will I be able to make it S-OFF?
At the bootloader screen it says Ship S-Off.
I was reading at ohter places, apparently I have reverted my recovery to the original.
I need to be able to flash a custom recovery onto the phone. I saw some people used Unrevoked but I pretty sure the software only works on some mobiles and HTC Desire HD is not on the list. Unless HTC Desire CDMA means the Desire HD

What happens when you leave the device to boot normally? Usually the first boot can take upto 5 minutes.
I'm guessing you have already waited that long and that will not be a solution.
IF, and that's a big if, please mind the pun, you still have ENG S-OFF you attempt a fastboot restore. But you do need ENG S-OFF.
EDIT: Ah SHIP S-OFF does no have access to fastboot commands.

It's different and I don't know whether it works with dhd or not. Try re-download the PD98IMG and try flash again.

Darren,
Thank you!
Update 11/09/2011
I'm able to go to recovery mod. Have wiped both data and cache.
If I run cmd "adb devices" it shows my phone serial number + offline. Also on recovery mod the phone drivers are recognized on windows device manager.
However if I stay on the initial bootloader screen and run "adb devices" it shows no device and the drivers dont recognize my phone.
On the usb devices only shows Android 1.0.
I'm trying to get my phone online so I can run the temp root cmd commands. But it's either offline on recovery or not recognized at all on Bootloader screen. ¬¬"

Since you have cwm recovery, just full wipe and flash a custom ROM on it.

I've tried everytyhing. Flashing Clowork Mod Recovery, updating from update.zip as well clicking on the bat file.
Everywhere I get permission denied, seems like my phone is not letting me do anything. Maybe my goldcard got corrupted in the mess. I'll make a new goldcard and see how it goes.
Ah as well I've noticed this
The reason this all started was because my HTC was in a bootloop. It would load Coredroid, the initial screen would appear then it would reboot and so on.
Now even with no rooms, no sd card etc. If I leave it to boot normally, the HTC White screen will stay on then it will reboot (goes black, phone vibrates) to the same HTC white screen.
So I think it's got something hardware related, I mean it's rebooting even with no rooms.
Oh geez....
Again, thank you all very much for the support! It's been really helpful, thank you for the ideas guys!

How do you full wipe?
Manually or using script?
If using manual method, what are the steps you did?

Darren,
I went to Bootloader > Recovery > Wipe Data. Then I wiped cache as well. Note that my Recovery access is limited. It says Android system recovery 3e. And in yellow at the bottom E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command.
I also did Factory Reset from the Bootloader Screen.
I can't do any script stuff except for Fastboot commands. Even on that I get "failed" status due to my permission denied.

I really cant understand why I cannot seem to flash a new Recovery.
If I use update.zip I get a failed installation at the end.
If I use clockword mod double click on the bat file the process runs, phone reboots like it should and then nothing, still on 3e...

Did you do what this post suggested?
Download the PD98IMG_cwmrecovery.zip file and rename it to PD98IMG.zip. Put it at root and boot in hboot and update.
