Reset DINC without Screen?

Hi all- I just replaced my phone with Asurion because the screen is dead. I have it rooted s-off with Virtuous 3.2 ROM and stock kernel (my sig is not up to date). I want to reset it before I return it. My problem is I cannot do it because I have no screen. I think I pushed it to S-Off in recover when I still could see a little of it using my good phone as a good guide. Not sure it worked though and don't know how to verify.
Is there a way for me to do this with my PC using ADB? I will need detailed instructions because I am not familiar with ADB or the syntax.
Thanks..........mm

How about putting the stock 2.2 PB31IMG, on your sd card, booting into fastboot. All you should have to do is wait a minute out two to let it load the file then just press volume up to have it start updating. After it's done you will have a stock unrooted 2.2.

Wouldn't I need to navigate the screen to get into fastboot and load the update.zip?
I also thought that would not change the s-off. I am not too concerned about that though because this was not a warranty replacement. Mostly want to wipe the phone.
Thanks

If you can, take the SD card out and use a micro SD adapter to put the image on the card, then boot into HBOOT. It will automatically find the image and ask you if you want to update. Select yes and you should be back to stock with S-ON.
ETA:
Oh... wait, you don't have a screen at all, even in HBOOT or recovery?

Yup, no screen even in hboot. However if it loads the update.zip automatically (I don't recall this. As I recall you have to enter recovery from hboot, choose install update.zip, and then confirm.) Then all I would need is to know a couple key presses.
Best would be something in ADB on the PC so I see and confirm what happens.

Connect the dead screen Inc to your computer and boot into recovery (hopefully you remember how to do it in the blind or you have another phone to look at what you have to press).
Google the adb commands, navigate to the phone memory and zero format the crap out of it
I went through the same thing, just an idea that could help you out.

Get yourself a giant magnet and rub it all over the phone. Stick it to the battery while it's in too, so everything gets a some magnetic wipe love.
I'm a romwhore, and I'm damn proud of it.

Lol magnets.
Just shake the phone vigorously to scramble your phone's data, render it useless.

Part 2: 2.2 stock using OTA RUU
1. Make sure you're rooted with clockworkmod recovery.
1A. If you're s-off, download http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/sto...orever-son.zip
(NOTE: the unrevoked s-on tool does *not* support the 2.15.00.09.01 radio. If you're running that radio, download this, and flash that PB31IMG.zip in HBOOT before continuing.)
1B. Push that to your SDCard and flash it via clockworkmod recovery.
2. Download this zip file: http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/sto....605.1_RUU.zip
3. Push PB31IMG-3.21.605.1_RUU.zip to your SDCard, renaming it to "PB31IMG.zip" (no quotes)(delete any other PB31IMG.zip you might have on there before pushing).
4. Boot into HBOOT, and it should recognize the PB31IMG.zip. Start the update and go get a drink (it might reboot once or twice, don't worry about it).
5. When that's done, reboot and you're at 2.2 stock!
That's it! These steps should bring you back to either 2.1 stock or 2.2 stock for a send-in!

sorry I don't have the exact key presses...

Here are the button presses you need for the PB31IMG flash way.
From phone being off
1. Hold vol - and power button
2. Wait about 2 minutes and let it load the PB31IMG file
3. Press vol + after 2 mintues
4. It should reboot kind of quickly
5. After about another 3-4 minutes (after it vibrates letting you know it rebooted) press vol + again.
6. Let it run through the rest and it should reboot again and that should bring it back to the regular stock setup screen that would come up if you just bought the phone.
These are as accurate as I can remember.

Push the update image to the sd card manually (take it out and use a micro sd adapter), boot up to hboot, wait about one minute, push the volume up key (that says yes you want it to find and update the inage) and it should start. Wait a good 15 minutes and press the volume up key to reboot.
I will get the link I got this from in a sec when I get on my laptop.

[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.

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.

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] Possible Bricked Phone

My phone is stuck at the white Evo splash screen. This happenned after I performed the autoroot procedure located at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
I have tried all kinds of ways to bring it back with no success. I downloaded shipped roms 3.30 and 3.70 (3.70) is what my phone originally was. The RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe will not run on my windows 7 machine I assume it's corrupted and I have downloaded it from two different sources. The RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release_157088_signed.exe runs but it always tells me that my battery is below 30% even though I plug the phone in to the charger and after a few minutes the LED turns green. Then I tried downloading the 3.70 rom as a zip file, named it pc36100.zip, put it in the root of my sd card, then I went into recovery mode and I told it to start the update. It looks like it works but I get a message at the end that says "partition update fail!" and then it asks me to reboot and I'm right back at the endless white evo splash screen. I even tried to load several times using the evo-recovery where I was able to pick which image I wanted to phone to update but it fails with a symlink error of some sort.
I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated here.
Thanks

I would also try running the RUU and PC36IMG a couple more times, maybe download them from a different source. Do you have HTC sync installed on your computer? I believe it's needed to use the RUU. So if you pull your battery out, reinsert it, then plug your Evo into a wall charger, the light goes steady green after a few minutes? Strange, I'd try a different RUU. Did you download from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu . I haven't experienced problems like this before (fortunately) but I've also read about people needing to format their SD card before it would work, using the PC36IMG. Not sure why, but possibly something corrupted on the SD card? Did the auto root give you any sort of errors or anything? Or did it just appear to work, and then this happened?
Also, you could try running the RUU from fastboot mode. Boot to the bootloader, select 'fastboot', and then try the RUU

HTC Sync is indeed needed for the RUU in .exe form.
Boot into hboot by holding down the volume down button while turning on your phone. I believe you choose hboot USB and then run the RUU exe.

The fastboot method worked! Awesome. So, in the hboot menu, it says S-OFF, which I assume means it's rooted. If that's the case, then I can push any rom I want on top of it now, correct?

Sweet, I'm glad it worked for you. So it says you're S off, even after running the RUU? I've never used the Autoroot method, but it must flash unrevoked forever, somewhere in the process. Well, if it says you're S off, I believe the only thing you're missing before you can flash anything is a custom recovery, which you most likely do not have, after running RUU. I believe that since you're s off, you can just flash a custom recovery from the bootloader, and then flash a rom. You could also use ROM manager to flash a recovery, you'd just need to download and install the Super User app, I believe. I think that should work for you? I've never tried to just flash a recovery from a stock ROM, right after an RUU, but if you're s off, i dont see why you can't do that. Download the PC36IMG I attatch here, make sure its named PC36IMG, put it on the main directory of your sd card, boot to the bootloader. Let it scan and ask you to update. Select volume up for yes. After that's done, you should have custom Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From there, you 'should' be able to flash ROMs. good luck.

As long as you can power the phone on and your battery is charged up you can return to stock. You just need to run the unrevoked S on tool, which you flash in recovery. That will turn S on. After that, you just need to run an ruu. You can download an ruu as a .exe, and run it from your computer, or you can download it as a PC36IMG, and put it on your sd card, then run it from the bootloader. Once you complete those steps, you will be back to stock, unrooted. Just like you took it out of the box.

Download the unrevoked forever S on zip that I attatched. You want to put that on the main directory of your sd card. Then boot to recovery, (i'm not sure which recovery you use, but either will be similar) shutting your phone off, and then holding your power button and volume down button together, until you get to the bootloader screen. Once at the bootloader, select recovery (using volume buttons to navigate, power button to select). Once in recovery, select 'flash zip from sd card', or 'install zip from sd card'. Then choose the unrevoked forever s on zip. Flash it. That will/should turn s on. Once it flashes, turn the phone off, and boot back to the bootloader. Confirm that it says Ship S on, at the top of your bootloader. If so, you can proceed to the next step. Download the newest PC36IMG.zip from the link I attatched (3.70 software). Place the zip on the main directory of your sd card, and make sure that it's named exactly PC36IMG (capitals matter, no lower case). Once it's on the main directory of your sd card, power your phone down, and boot to the bootloader. This time, it should find the PC36IMG, scan it, and after a short while ask you to update. You select Volume up to say yes. That should complete successfully. Be sure not to touch the phone when it's doing that, it may reboot once or twice, and you'll see some 'different' screens. Just let it finish. Once it's done, reboot, and you should boot into a stock, unrooted rom.

Download this file PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip (202.01 MB) and rename it PC36IMG.zip then place it on the root of your SD card. If another file with that name is already present, move that file to a folder.
Anyway, shutdown your EVO. Enter the bootloader screen by pressing the down volume button while also pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will enter the bootloader screen. There will be a short pause followed by a few lines of text scrolling on the screen. The PC36IMG.zip file will be AUTOMATICALLY DETECTED and you will be prompted to install. Follow the prompts to install. Afterwards, reboot. Be patient. You will appear to hang at the a screen with arrows as well as at the white HTC screen. BE PATIENT. If you're booted into recovery. No problem. Simply select reboot and be patient. After some time has passed, you will enter the homescreen and see the screens you saw when you first purchased your EVO.

If you are using Windows to rename the file, you don't want to add the .zip The reason is because the .zip is already there, Windows just hides it on ya. Name it in all capitals PC36IMG. If you add the .zip, when using windows, what you really end up with an improperly named file, that looks like this: PC36IMG.zip.zip.
If the file is named correctly, and is on the main directory of your sd card (not in any folders, just on the main directory of the card), then the bootloader will scan the card, find the file, and ask you to update. So just check how it's named, and it's location, then try again.
If you've already confirmed that the file is on the main directory of your sd card, and that it's definitely named correctly, and it's all capital letters, then it's possible you got a bad download. You can check the md5 sum. Also, make sure that the file is the correct size. Compare from where you downloaded it, it should tell you the file size. Then check your actual file size. You could just try redownloading it, and trying again

Did you get it to work?

Sweet, glad you got it to work. And yes, you can delete those files. And I suggest you do delete them, and all other root related files from your SD card.
Edit: also, your bootloader shows S on now, right?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I am having the same problem. But when I follow your instructions to the T the bootloader does not recognize it. DO you have any ideas on that?

Okay Im a dummy I didnt follow you to a T. I didnt delete all of the garbage after the PC36IMG.zip. It seems to be working.

Thanks for posting this. I had to read a second time before I got it right... following "
EXACTLY" as you instruct got me back to stock root to have my phone repaired be sprint.

I cant believe it!!!

Ok! So i was running fresh 3.5 on my evo 4g and everything was running great. I decided that I wanted to add a battery percent on the battery indicator. I download a zip file that would allow me to do that...I put it on the root of my sd. I tried flashing it with clockwork mod 3.0 but it didnt let me cuz it came up with an error saying to update my binary and script. So i googled on how to bypass that error and it said to use the ra recovery(the other recovery program,i think thats what its called ) so i flashed ra with rom manager. I rebooted my evo and went into recovery and flashed the zip file then a couple of minutes later it said it was complete(no errors came up during the flashing process). I rebooted my evo after the flashing was done. This is where it starts getting weird! I turned my phone back on and after the white screen a black screen came up and didnt go away. After about a minute the phone vibrated about 4 times and the indicator light started flashing green. I couldnt power down so I had to take out the battery. I turned it back on and it booted up to the fresh boot logo. It tried to reboot itself about 3 times and without success the black screen came up and vibrated with flashing green light. Took the battery out for an hour then I booted it to the boot menu, went into recovery to try to delete the zip file and all it did was give me the black screen, vibrated and flashing green lights. I checked to see if s-off was still engaged and it wasnt. S-on was showing. I think some how that zip file made that happen. I have a nandroid backup. I dont have recovery and s-on is engaged. What should I do? This is the file that I flashed( smooth-sense_evo1.0.2_batteryonly ) Sorry if Iam posting this in the wrong section. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Holy Wall-O-Text Batman!
But getting to your issue:
You enabled security again. Flash the stock RUU found in the most up-to-date unrooting guides and go back to stock. Re-root again using Unrevoked and then flash again. Mind you, you will be starting over more or less.
The reason why I'm telling you to unroot and then root again is that you want to get rid of that funky flash. Its the safest way possible.

So I need to unroot first (even though it says s-on)
Then root again with unrevoked
Then flash stock ruu

Flashing the RUU should unroot for you. It will undo any mods except for s-off from unrevoked.

Still no luck.
This is what i have done.
Ive tried rooting again using unrevoked 3 but it doesnt pick up my evo when i plug in my phone. It does come up in my device manager but its not assigned a drive letter. Yes i did enable hboot usb. Yes my drivers are installed right.
Ive tried different ruu's but they wont detect my evo. Ive tried different stock PC36IMG's and they will update with no errors but when it reboots into the the screen with green arrows and a phone it vibrates 4 times then turn off.
Can you guys be more specific on the steps that in need to do. Thanks once again.
Info:
HBoot 2.10
Radio 2.15

I feel your pain, same thing happened to me after months of successful evo hackery. Was very difficult to convey to people the extent of random roadblocks preventing all the supposed fixes. I followed every suggestion, maybe 200 separate tries at a workaround, but in the end I had to trade it in for a refurb.

To flying low,
I still have faith especially with everybody helping me out. I know theres a workaround cuz i still have hboot up and running even tho i lost recovery and rom.

Can i use unrevoked when iam in hboot? Cuz thats the only option i have.(i think)

you need to flash the RUU in hboot or run the RUU in Windows...it doesnt matter whether it says s-on or not all it will do is restore the phone back to its shipped factory settings and unroot you

What you do:
Find and download the latest RUU. I Think this is it: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sup...51.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe (download should start automatically)
name it PC36IMG.zip
Place it on the root of your sd card (root of sd card = no in any folders, just put it on there).
Boot into bootloader (power off, hold volume down and turn power on to get there)
it'll ask if you wanna parse update, hit volume up for yes.
basically, this will flash the stock rom back onto your phone. Since you're s-on already, this will complete a full unroot. Then simply re-root your phone like you did the first time and you're back in the game

Ok i will try flashing the ruu from the link that you gave me.
Thanx. Will report back soon.

I tried the link but its a .exe file not a zip. So I converted it to a zip file using winrar. I renamed it PC36IMG and put it on the root of my sd. Ran it and it just got to the checking part and it stoped checking. I did it 2 times with same result.I also formated my sd card to fat32.

If you want to run the ruu in PC36IMG form, you need the right file.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip < Rename to PC36IMG, then flash in the bootloader.
The ruu.exe is meant to be run from a computer, with the phone booted into the bootloader, and mounted to the pc in fastboot.

Yes i agree tech roxxorz. I was just doing what he told me. Ive tried RUU.exe before but it wont recognize my evo niether does my computer and iam in hboot usb mode. I will try your link and repot back.

Well you can't do it in hboot usb. You have to select fastboot, connect to the pc, and when it shows up as fastboot usb in blue on the phone, then you run the ruu.exe.
Though either method will work.

So when I click on fastboot on my evo, what do i click on next to run RUU.exe cuz I only have reboot or power down options.

Turn the phone off. While turning the phone off, hold vol+down till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding [bootloader] From there, after it scan, navigate to fastboot with the volume keys, press the power button to select, then connect to the PC via usb cable. When it says 'fastboot usb' in blue, run the ruu exe on the pc.

OK got it. Will report back soon.

Aye aye cappy.

I did what you wrote. The ruu.exe gave me an error 170-usb connection error. I booted into the bootloader by holding down the power button and volume down why the evo is turned off. It scaned the sd card, I selected fastboot and plugged in my usb cable. It said fastboot usb highlighted in red.
