[Q] Help! Red Triangle / Exclamation Mark!

You know that little voice that tells you to stop and think about what you are about to do....well I didn't 'listen. I have just enough experience to be dangerous....which is why I am writing this thread.
I have a rooted EVO. It was rooted with Unrevoked 3. I was using Clockwork and had flashed several ROMs. Most recently using CM7. I have Nandroid backups and all was well.
In a comedy of errors my original nandroid file was deleted so that I had no was of returning to the stock EVO ROM. I was trying to update CM7 so that i could use the GPS. To do thisI had to flash Sense based ROM so that I could use the MSD(??) and then reflash my CM7 and voila, your GPS works.
Well I couldn't get any new roms to work. I tried several and they all crashed. I then had the great idea to use RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe to restore my EVO back to stock. Bad idea.
I now have a phone that boots straight into Fastboot. I can choose bootloader and get to the HBOOT screen. When I choose the recovery it looks like all is well. The phone goes into the white HTC screen but then goes to a Red Triangle/Exclamation Mark screen. I can get out of this screen by pressing the power button and vol up button. It goes to and Android system recovery screen.
My choices are
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have tried placing the PC36IMG.zip (downloaded from xda) file in the root directory. I get a signature verification failed if I try to install the update file from any other custom ROMs. Installation aborted.
All I want is to get my phone back.
I currently have HBOOT 0.79.0000 with S-OFF
Please help

Download a pc36img.zip of a recovery, such as among RA 2.3, then put a rom.zip on your card as well....load the recovery through bootloader and once you get into recovery flash your rom

You'll have to update all of your radios as well since you used an old RUU.

"So you're saying there is still a chance." Thanks guys. I'll get on this today.

Just a quick question. Do I need to rename these files to "update-'file name'.zip" ?

Boot into the bootloader, with the attached zip file exactly as it is. Don't changed the name or extract it. Once in the bootloader, select yes to update, this is amon_ra 2.3 recovery. If you want clockwork recovery, let me know.

When I boot into the Boot Loader I get this:
HBOOT
SD Checking
Loading...[PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!

Oh my GOSH! I finally got it! Thank you thank you thank you! I was using the wrong PC36img.zip file. Not really sure why there are several different versions of this...a newbie statement I'm sure.

The root script linked to in my sig can be used to update your phone if you wanted to use it for that, once it sees you have S-OFF it will skip all the rooting stuff and go straight to flashing the updated ROM radios and recovery. Afterward just use rom manager to flash clockwork and you'll be good to go.
edit: nm, just saw you got it

What was the PC36IMG & why did you need it? You need to download a PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra or CWM. Don't rename, update in the bootloader.

This confuses me a bit. You somehow ended up with a PC36IMG on your sd card that you had no idea what it was, then it asked you to update, and you said yes, not even knowing what it was? Is that accurate? Does your bootloader still show S off? If you flashed a PC36IMG of a factory ROM you may be S on and unrooted, so check that first. If you're still s off, and you can boot into the OS, then the easiest way for you to get Clockwork back would be to download ROM manager, and use that to flash clockwork. Just select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'. If you did in fact run a PC36IMG of the factory rom, you'll most likely need to install the Super User app again in order for ROM manager to work.
I'm very curious of what the heck you flashed, and how you didn't know what it was, lol. A little more info would be great. Are you still on the same ROM you were before you flashed it? What were the results of flashing the PC36IMG? Can you boot up?

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Nothing is briked. Some how. After a few reeboots all came back to normal.

I fixed it, but now I am trying to get back my original backup and everythime I try it says:
Checking MD5 sums…
Erasing boot before restore…
Restoring boot image…
Error while flashing boot image!
I think my HBOOT isnt the write version but im not sure.

Help please

Im using an EVO4G. The evo is rooted and there was a rom on the evo as well as Amon Ra's Recovery. Here's my problem. I don't know what happened but I can't boot past the HTC EVO 4g screen, I constantly restarts when I try to start up recovery, and when I try to send another recovery image to the phone via command prompt it just hangs. What do I do. ANY help would be appreciated. Also, I can get into fastboot however, when it does its checks it says the the PC36 image is wrong or missing.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Did you make sure it was all caps PC36IMG.ZIP I would try that. Is S off? Let me know Ill try to help.
What happens you try to get into recovery and it hangs? Did you try to flash a RUU to it?

If you already have the PC36IMG of Amon Ra on your phone, make sure it's named right. In Windows you should only see PC36IMG, not the zip extension... unless you have specifically set the computer to show file extensions. Also make sure it's on the root of the SD card.
Are you showing s-off in the bootloader? What rom were you running when this happened and had you flashed anything or made any system changes?

When flashing, everything says ok except [2] bootloader [8] tp and [9] tp 2 and 9 says bypassed and 8 doesn't say anything on it. I still cannot get into recovery and the phone still wont boot.

Are you able to actually get into recovery and flash a rom?

No. It will go to the EVO 4G screen and hang up in a neverending reboot cycle.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip Place that on your sdcard, and flash it in the bootloader, apply update, reboot. it's amon_ra 2.3 recovery, see if that works.

Thats the same one I tried but maybe it was a bad download, I will try it again. Thanks.
***update*** still wont go past the black and white evo 4g screen
I've tried flashing the recovery image and the complete image. No luck. Is there a way to flash a rom to the phone without recovery and without being able to boot the phone (ie from fastboot)?

Can I run a RUU from fastboot?

Yeah, you should be able to. If you used unrevoked to root, or ever flashed unrevoked forever, you'll still be s-off. But if it works, hopefully you'll have a bootable phone. You can then reroot, and if you need to unroot then flash the s-on zip and run the RUU again.

[Q] Stuck on Bootscreen

Hi everyone,
I got a soft-bricked evo4g and It is stuck from bootscreen.
I can get it to revolutionary recovery (HBOOT-6.16.1002).
Things that I tried. But nothing happened, didn't help and still stuck on "htc evo4g bootscreen".
Wiping it out (via HBOOT)
Updating PC36IMG.zip via SDCard
HTC Evo Hacks - RUU.exe process, but my version 1.00.000.0, according to The Root to All Evo the process will fail.
As of now I'm lost what to do next. Since TheRootToAllEvo didn't mentioned what to do with 1.00.000.0 versions (which he/she said received an OTA then rooted)
Any help with it?

Update :
I successfully flashed RUU 3.70.651.1.1, but still I have my phone rooted (S-OFF)
HBOOT-6.16.1002. But still can't boot properly.
What do I do next? Can't seem to find a way to s-on thru FastBoot.

Update :
Managed to successfully flashed RUU 4.54.651.1 and I still don't know why It won't boot properly.

Tried the PC36IMG.zip again. My HBOOT doesn't scan my SD, Is it possible that the SD Card slot is the problem?

Have you tried flashing a new recovery in fastboot to see if maybe its the recovery that's messed up? Also you started with a freshly formatted sdcard right?

Try one of these to see if it do anything different than what you already seen...

Preferably, download the amon ra recovery, do a full wipe, [everything but sd card], flash your rom, and should be good. i suspect your recovery wasn't wiping correctly.

Update : I successfully flashed hboot 6.17, tried to flash amon ra recovery(2.3) It was scanned successfully, but never asked me to update. It just skipped back to menu.
I'll try it again once I got to fully charge the battery.
Thankkks!

I answered your post over on Android Forums. Time for you to flash a stock ROM. I'd go with Froyo, personally - I find unrEVOked easier to unlock with.

Will do that, downloading the froyo rom.

Update : Can't install Froyo or Eclair RUU Stock Roms. Its says BootLoader Incompatible. Already in 4.54 ROM, still can't boot properly.

Well it's as close as dead. Can anyone suggest anybody who's super pro that can fix this phone?

UPDATE! : I got it unlocked with HTCDev, still can't boot to recovery (even successfully flashed AMON RA, CWM and TWRP 1.1)
Any help?

You should try flashing the s-on tool, it may tell you in bootloader that it is still s-off flash it again for good measure. The try the ruu. Then re-root.

Corrupted HBOOT?

So I believe the HBOOT is corrupted, but I'm not 100%. When I boot, I can get into HBOOT, when I try to boot to recovery, factory reset, or anything but fastboot and reboot, I get the white HTC Incredible screen, then a black screen with two white stripes down either side. Anybody seen this before? Rooted with ClockworkMod Recovery. Can't get to CM Recovery. Is there a way to flash HBOOT?

Yes you can flash hboots thru your current hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. You can get the hboots here http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/. However i dont think thats going to fix your problem, it sounds like you may have the wrong version of cwm installed. What version are you currently on and is your screen amoled or slcd?

Not sure if this matters but they have an unlocked hboot as per their other thread.
Edit: disregard my previous RUU comment.

Oh, if your on the new hboot there is no way to downgrade it. So you would have to try to reflash the new hboot again.

Understood. How will that affect S-ON vs off and the unlocked bootloader?
Also, how can I re-flash to the newest HBOOT as you suggest?

If you are s-off you will stay s-off. If your s-on you will stay s-on and can root with my tutorial. Even with an unlocked bootloader it will still say s-on or off. I do not have an hboot only image in hand, when i get to my pc i will make one. Or you could just do the ruu from the htvdev unlock site. That will reflash the hboot and the entire system.
EDIT: Here is a PB31IMG.zip of hboot 1.02, http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.02/PB31IMG.zip. Place the file on your sdcard in no folders, boot into hboot and it should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update.

HBOOT 1.02.0000 correct? Just want to be sure. If that's the one, I'll re flash right away. Thanks for all the help!!

Correct you are already on 1.02 right.

I am. About to flash it.
Edit to the edit. Somehow didn't process what you were saying. Put the .zip on the root of the SD, popped it in, booted to HBOOT, it grabbed it immediately. Tested Recovery and Clear Storage, same story. Take that back. Clear storage seems to be working, Recovery is not. Recovery hangs on the black screen with white stripes on either side. CWM corrupt?
Can't get to RECOVERY. I can get it to boot into HBOOT, as soon as I select anything else it goes to the black screen. First shows the white HTC Incredible screen, then it goes black. Seems like it errors out because the white stripes look like the edges of the prior white screen. Can I use adb to push recovery straight to the first HBOOT screen?
Edit: force HBOOT into FASTBOOT from adb I mean, and then kick of the recovery from there?

I was actually wondering about this. Sorry to sidetrack but know if it can do fastboot erase or fastboot flash? If so I want to get it setup on my Dinc to simplify kernel testing. I assume eng or unlocked bootloader are needed so I'd have to update to 1.02, still have s-off and then use the website to unlock.

So you cant select fastboot from the hboit menu either? The only other way i know but not sure if it would work for you is to try to boot normaly and when it gets to the white screen where it gets stuck keep trying to enter adb reboot bootloader and see if it will connect. If it works it will take you to hboot with fastboot usb already enabled.

I can get to FASTBOOT from HBOOT.
So, get to FASTBOOT and then, in adb... I can make the logical jump that far, I'm not making the connection after that though.

If you can get to fastboot then do this
Download cwm recovery.img http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/recovery.img and place it on your pc in the same folder as the fastboot.exe file.
Open a cmd prompt on your pc while in hboot with fastboot selected and then type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ".
Ps your hboot does still say unlocked at the top right?

Never mind. Pushed recovery. Rebooting now.
Edit: beautiful!! got it. Thank you, AGAIN, for all the help. XDA community in general, and especially cmlusco!

Just confirmed I can flash with fastboot with the unlocked 1.02 bootloader. I got the 5 vibes and got scared but I'm all good. Good thing the inc is not the active phone.

Yes it seems with 1.02 you get all the extended commands. I do have the 0.77 eng bootloader, which allows the same commands. I dont think you can downgrade from 1.02 now, even with s-off i may be wrong. I have been reluctant to upgrade to 1.02, not sure why, and instead just flash back to the eng hboot if i need the extended commands. Hope you get the 5 vibes worked out.

Ha. I saw the typo and didn't want to bother fixing it.
Just curious if you did an unlock and flashed the stock recovery prior. If you didn't unlock (wipes data) then you don't have to mess with recovery.

Nope, just flashed it in HBOOT, and rebooted back to HBOOT to verify it took.
