Complete Root Fail

Ok, guys im in a bit of a pickle and I'm looking for a genius to help me fix the problem.
Firstly I just got my Evo4g yesterday, im no stranger to rooting and or unlocking but this time i'm stuck. I came straight here to get the root started. My evo is running 2.2 firmware stock. I went here and started the ball rollinghttp://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/08/27/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-4g-with-froyo-2-2-video-walkthrough/
The first video went off without a hitch and I was feeling really good about everything, then tragedy struck. I followed the second video and during the PC36IMG.zip update I got a weird error.
First line it bypassed the bootloader and on the second line it said:
[2] Raidio_V2 FAIL-PU
everything else updated fine but after the reboot i can only access the bootloader or it goes straight to the red triangle. I've been up for 3 hours trying to correct this problem before I give up and try to get a new device.
A little more information in my bootloader it reads:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041F
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RAIDIO-2.15.00.09.01
I've tried several things and none of them worked, I've even tried to flash the stock RUU.
If you've run into the same problem, please post here and maybe some of the genius's at XDA can brainstorm and keep this from happening to anyone else.

You have the new HBOOT here is a guide on how to root it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045

I did and it gave me the same error. I even tried different PC36IMG PACKAGES, still nothing.

You should be able to access recovery from booyloader screen on your phone. Use that to mount what you need and probably get the PC36IMG you need!

[Q] Can anybody help me out, please?

I've searched the forums and have not found a situation that really matches mine.
I've been running on a Cyanogen nightly build for probably two months with no problems. Out of nowhere this morning my phone reboots itself (while it was idle; I wasn't even touching it) and then gets stuck in a boot loop. I get the White HTC Evo 4G screen, then it powers off and comes back up to the white screen again. Over and over.
All I can get do is hboot. Even telling hboot to go into the recovery mode puts my back into the boot loop. Fastboot, clear storage, and hboot usb all seem to work though. I've tried downloading the PC36IMG.zip file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141) in that thread, but hboot loads it and tells me that it is older than my current version, and only gives me the option to reboot, or not to reboot. Doesn't load the image.
Here is the information on my hboot screen:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.97.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

you lost root, s-on
you can still start the bootloader so it's not a brick
need to get s-off before you can load recovery again and reflash your rom
have you tried the RUU? if it installs and defaults you then you can unrevoked to root

This didn't work. Everything is still the same, except that my hboot version is now 2.10.0001. Any other thoughts?

still won't not into any rom? did you get errors?

No, the app on the PC said everything was successful. The progress bar on the phone progressed without errors too.

what happens when you reboot the phone not going into bootloader?

Just the HTC EVO 4G splash screen. Over and over and over...

does it show the boot animation or just stuck on splash?

Just the splash. No animation.

pull the battery, remove your sdcard, put the battery back in, see if it gets to the animation

Doh, you upgraded your hboot. It's alright though, just run the ruu one more time and your should be ok

I asked my wife to check this thread from the car on the way to dinner. Saw the response. So I took my laptop inside with us and used the RUU one more time. No luck. I decided that it must be a hardware issue. I took the SD out and removed the evidence that the phone had been rooted, then took it to the sprint service center up the road. They just replaced it for me. Thanks for your time! I DO want to root my phone again, the ROMs are just so much better than the stock installation. Should I not install the OTA updates if I'm going to root it? Which guide should I follow for rooting?

never do OTA when rooted, use unrevoked to root, unrevoked.com

Not when rooted. I meant should I update to the latest OTA UNTIL I decide to do the root again? Is the latest OTA unrootable?

Same deal.
Here is the post that I put in the wrong forum that I was about to post here until I saw this thread...
Wellp. I win.
I win a no expenses paid trip to my nearest Sprint dealer.
Ever since I used unrevoked to root my phone in November, I've been voraciously digging through these forums for tasty roms. I've been snorting lines of Cyanogen, MIUI, and a myriad of other, well-designed roms.
Using a on older version of hboot (pre 1 methinks) I was able to avoid the latest hassles with ClockworkMod (plus, I down(up?)graded to 2.6 via RomManager).
Tonight, as I was enjoying some tasty foodstuffs at my local foodstuff vendor, my phone rebooted. Then, it rebooted again. Then again. I once made the folly of flashing a new rom without running the appropriate wipes, and was no stranger to the bootloop. I patiently fired up hboot (my poor volume rocker is all but wore out) and ordered up the trusty recovery mode.
...then it rebooted again... and again... and again.
PusSidiasus: ONOES! I HAVE THE WTFBBRICKED MY PRECIOUS!
SmartAsSidiasus: Hang on for a second, let's check the internet. Try this link: tinyurl.com/4vgeyeg
PusSidiasus: ...
Unfortunately, my internal dialogues are not nearly as witty. Also, my best attempts to de-brick-ify were for naught. Fastboot gave some wacky error message when I tried to flash a new recovery, and installing via PC36IMG.zip did nothing to improve the situation. I even went so far as to install a stock image someone pulled from an RUU (with a 2.02hboot, so as to avoid wimax woes)...
Still, a whole lotta nothing. I can't do anything beyond hboot, and whatever recovery image I install (Clockworkmod, AmanRa) the machine still bootloops.
At this juncture, I've resigned to taking the phone into the sprint store and playing dumb. It is a stock rom, though I hope the attendant misses the S-OFF bit at boot. Which brings me to my proper question:
1) Has anyone run aground a similar issue and found a way out?
OR...​
2) Anyone know how to turn S-(back)ON in my current situation?​
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Also, you can rest assured that I'll be rooting again whatever phone I walk away with, and the work that is exhibited in these forums is amazing. Keep churning out wonderful roms and guides.

Ack, sorry... didn't mention in previous post. I fired up windows to run the RUU (I don't trust wine to that stuff) but it couldn't detect the device.

Apparently you haven't tried searching for your answer yet, or you wouldn't have asked as it would already have been answered. You're unable to root as of right now unless you had s-off previously. Temp root only, with visionary+ is possible.

yes your phone is too new for a root access. you have to wait until rooting that hboot is possible. right now, we can only root up to .93. mandanick from androidforums had this to say:
I also have hboot 1.06, and as of now, I have not yet found a way to downgrade my hboot version to one of the lower ones. Over with unrEVOked there is a gentleman named Matt who has been working on it for a while now. On chat I was told that it would PROBABLY be included with the next release of unrEVOked. We can hope
so paintently wait and youll at some point b able to root. paitence it required thou

[q] help putting amon-ra recovery on my evo4g !!!!

I copied the link off the their ROM page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425040
and when i go into bootloader..i get an error "MAIN VERSION IS OLDER".
i went ahead and tried to load this rom using CLOCKWORK MOD. AND now it gets stuck at about 80% stating their supering up the rom..or something like that.. PLEASE HELP.
[email protected]
I REALLY WANT THIS ROM.. but they said you can't use it with any other Recovery except the one above.

what versoin is your bootloader? i havent really heard of any problems loading Amon-Ra with older versions. What is the name of the file you are trying to install from zip(should be PC36IMG.ZIP) from bootloader? not treating you like a noob( i am prob more of a noob than you) but we can all overlook thigs.

I'm definitley a noob. first time ever. I just rooted my evo 2 days ago. but never flashed a rom. my rom says the right title. as soon as i go into hboot mode.. it reads the PC36IMG.ZIP. and then it says "MAIN VERSION IS OLDER...REBOOT?"
so it doesn't recognize it. i downloaded the zip from 2 different files online. I know it's the most updated one..but it still won't change my thing from clockword to AMON RA.

You are downloading the pc36img.zip file from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026

as far as recovery goes... try it from this link. this is where I got it fro and it loaded fine on my rooted evo running ENERGY sense 3.5 rom w anthrax kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
as far as the rom not loading... did you follow instructions exactly? also if i cant help im sure someone here can, but they will want more info from yur device, like:
hardware version
bootloader version
software version
maybe more but id get this onofo posted on here. you will like Amon-Ra much better than clockworkmod. I was hestitant to switch, but i wanted to partition my sdcard and clockwork jsut didnt seem to be doing it right.

LOL i was in the process of searching and typing my long ass reply and you beat me to it!

ACTUALLY, i just noticed something. SOMEHOW... during this whole process or wiping data clean (as per the instructions)..my phone now says S-ON. Does that mean my ROOT is now gone too?
I hope not. It took me like 3 hours to root it the other night.

We're going to need to know what it says in your bootloader in order to help you. Have you rooted your device, or unlocked NAND using unrEVOked, Revolutionary, or the HTCDev.com method? That "Main Version" error relates to whatever the most recent update is that you've installed to your device. You wouldn't get that error if you were NAND unlocked (i.e. S-OFF). We'll need those details to be able to help you.

It was S-OFF this morning before I tried to install this ROM and do the WIPE info.

looks like you are gonna have to root again. what method did you use? if your phone supports it use revolution to root. i used it flawlessly and it took no time at all. This is an excellent root tutorial.

I can help. I have a PC36IMG.zip you can flash in bootloader for Amon_RA's v2.3 recovery. See here.
You don't need to be S-OFF to flash a custom ROM since your bootloader is now unlocked.

I'll try that. THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR QUICK REPLIES. I'll try this tonight when i go home. WIll it let me do this on my PC? because right now i can't even get back into my android phone. It just shows up with the screen saver for the new ROM. But nothing on the screen and it won't respond to any touch, nor go into disk drive when i connect it to the pc.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THIS ONE?
(told you guys i was a newbie,lol)

You'll have to download the file from a PC, and boot into recovery and connect the device in USB Mass Storage mode. Then you can copy the previously mentioned PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sd card (meaning don't put it in any folders). Then reboot into bootloader, and it should ask you if you want to update. Choose "Yes" (Volume Up), and when it's done, choose not reboot the device. That'll take yu to the HBOOT Menu. From there, choose recovery, and you should now be running RA-supersonic-v2.3 - Haus Mod rev.A. Then you can do a FULL wipe (everything except SD card), and reflash the Express ROM.

THe phone won't let me go into USB Mass Storage mode. IT's just frozen on the blue screen that comes with this ROM. I think i need to get it back to stock first and start all over. Anyway i can do that from the bootloader menu? if not..any other suggestions?

You have to pull the battery and boot into bootloader. Then choose recovery from the HBOOT menu and mount it in recovery. There is an option for USB Mass Storage mode in every recovery.

Captain Throwback. i just read your response "You don't need to be S-OFF to flash a custom ROM since your bootloader is now unlocked."
The original reason that i tried to root the phone was to get FREE WIFI TETHERING to my Ipad. I do need S-OFF in order for that to work though right?

No, you don't. You just need root to do that, which you can have with an unlocked bootloader (which you have). Once you flash the custom recovery I provided and the Express ROM, hotspot should work fine (as all custom ROMs have root access, the Express ROM has hotspot hacked).

THANK YOU SO MUCH..i'm on that screen. now you said "Then you can do a FULL wipe (everything except SD card). does that mean i got wo WIPE ALL USER. YES..WIPE CACHE..YES>.WIPE DATE..YES. WIPE SYSTEM? YES.. WIPE DATA: BATTERY STATS..YES...WIPE DATA: ROTATE SETTINGS..YES?

[Q] htc G2 root attempt phone acts up

hi, guys. Ive done a search on the forums and cant seem to find the answer. I tried to root and put cyanogenmod on my g2. Following the instructions on cyanogenmod. Everything seemed to go well until i tried to push the rom to the phone. When i went to reboot into bootloader the radio was back on and the pc10img file downloaded. Now I can get the phone to turn on. But when i shut it off it takes forever to be able to turn back on. Sometimes I have to remove the battery. Then it turns on. My question is am I stuck in a loop, root, do I need to unroot. Im at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated. Im even willing to set up a remote session if someone is willing to do it. I thank You in advance for your help.

You need to take the pc10img.zip off your phone to get to recovery, or at least rename it

I can get into bootlog and recovery. I used a temporary sdcard from another phone. I can see the zip files on the sdcard in the other phone. The sdcard is in my other phone now not the g2. How do get it off the g2? I dont know where to look. The power issue is almost like the phone is doing something with the power off. Is this possible? heres what the G2 says:

i forgot to mention that i never flashed the rom. I was trying to do it and thats when the PC10img file loaded again. Which i believe took the S off back to S on. I dont know if the PC10img ever went to the phone. As i can see it on the sdcard itself.

Well now you're downgraded to froyo so just follow the cyanogen wiki or xda wiki again starting after the downgrade point. So long as you can boot to os you should be fine
If you get error messages post them
