[q] please help! Cannot get into recovery!!!!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all and thank you for your continued hard work and accomplishments!
I have installed CM7 3.2.1 on my evo and it has been running for a month now with no real problems. I went to make a back-up by using my quick boot app. the app took me to the bootloader screen instead of taking me directly to recovery. so I selected recovery anyway and when I DID, it showed the white HTC loading screen for about a second then brought me right back to the main boot loader screen. this screen would let me re-boot however. So I went into bootloader manually and got the same results.
A friend told me to run the unrevoked root installer again to reflash the recovery software. so my question is do you guys think this is a good idea or will it mess up the phone? I searched the forums but couldnt find a problem like mine. I'm sorry if I didnt look hard enough and it is in here! Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again guys!

you can just download a custom recovery, rename it correctly(it needs to be PC36IMG exactly,transfer it to your sd card, go into hboot and it should scan for the PC36IMG file. select yes to update and you should be good to go.

Do exactly as said, and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. No need to rename the file because I already named it correctly.

you guys are the bomb!!!!!! Thanks

Can you access recovery via the hboot menu?
If not, have you tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot?
Also, and this would help the most, how did that happen? I mean: did something go wrong while flashing some zip or radio? Please explain a bit further so it can be easier to help you out...

Cant access recovery it just gives me the white htc screen
I havent tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot because I dont know how, how do ya do it?
And as to how it happened I was using unrevoked to flash amonra recovery it and it was "rebooting" but then it said an error about couldnt write to misc or something and the phone was stuck on htc white screen, tried rebooting and nothing, recovery nothing.
So yh i think flashing a new recovery will do the trick, linky to a guide?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I see...well imho flashing a new recovery could do the trick for you.
First of all let me know this: have you got s-off? If so you can use fastboot commander to flash it, very easy and fast.

s-off? hmm dunno lol
I originally rooted using goldcard method and flashed the rooted zip then many different roms since. recently used unrevoked to get clockworkmod recovery which was working fine and flashed a new rom and then tried unrevoked again to get amonra but then i got to this situation
Hope this helps
Get the RUU your Desire came with and go back to that. Then start again
I have s-on and tried ruu's but failed as have no working goldcard and i have 1.21 on phone and the voda ruu that my phone came with is 1.19
Ive tried the PB99IMG.zip method but that just shows main version higher error is there a way to trick this stage?
I'd just stick to using a stock WWE ROM until the 2.10.161.2 RUU shows up (if at all)
whats the diff between RUU and PB99*.zip? I have the same problem also. Cant access clockworkmod.
Im thinking of flashing it again using PB99 in hboot then root again. Or how can we flash the recovery?
No difference, just that an RUU needs Windows. Both wipe the phone and reset it back to 'out the box'
I see so I can flash PB99 in HBOOT(transfer pb99 to sdcard) then root again?
Or is there another way I can access the recovery or flash the recovery?
Thanks
Just flash the zip from hboot and then root again with unrevoked. Then set the phone up again as it'll be wiped

Thanks! It worked. I'll root it using unrevoked then, how do I make that clockworkmod recovery permanent or something?
When you use unrEVOked it flashes Clockwork Mod as your recovery so it'll be permanent (unless you unroot again)
This might work for of you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
you got the error of a higher main version because you did not have a GOLDCARD.
YAY!!! :-D :-D :-D
Managed to fix it!!!

Hi there.
Sorry to jump in on your thread but wondered if you can help. Have the same problem as you and can't create a goldcard as I can't boot up my phone. Could I use a clone of your goldcard if you were kind enough to email it to me or would that not work?
Thanks,
Matt

Im afraid each goldcard has a specific cid used to create the goldcard
My advice is to borrow another android phone/device with sd slot and use it to get your cid. Theres a handy program on the market to get your cid for you, just search for goldcard on market when your sd is inserted.
When you have the cid go on the internet and get your goldcard image. Put ur sd in your comp and do a full format as fat32 and use hxd to turn it into a goldcard.
Thats how I did it! :-D

I know it is a brick

OMG! I have bricked it for sure! I want to cry! I have clockwork and it never goes to recovery so I do option at the bottom to restore the other. Clockwork always gives me the white lines and black screen. So like a dumb ass I went into clockwork and looked at roms. Downloaded one and it asked to install clockwork recovery to install so I said yes. Installed the rom and when it asked to go to clockwork recovery to install I said yes. And now nothing just the black screen with white lines. Will not do anything. All options in volume down and power do nothing. Help help help!! Cannot boot phone or get into recovery! I have a brick, I just know it!! Please help me get my phone back!!!!!
Recovery options
Its not a brick. Follow that link to get recovery working again. You can use Adrynalyne's version or the link to BAmod by berzerker. Sd card needs to be fat32 for hboot to recognize the .zip
ok do I need to just put the sd card in the puter and reformat it? And then put the zip on the sd card after I rename it?
Should work for ya.
well I did that and it didn't work. It goes through the HBoot when I first turn it on and then it doesn't do anything else. Just says something like no image?
Follow exactly the directions on the berzerker thread.
They work.
If you choose to d/l one of his, he offers several means to accomplish the placement of the recovery. Sounds like you tried copying a PMB image to SD. (Option #3, assuming you have S-Off, which you should if you used unrevoked) No ADB needed. (nothing to do for step 2b in Option #3)
The directions on what to do are pretty succinct w/ that method.
Try it.

Ok flash something and my phone is working again! Thank you thank you so very much. The only problem I have is when I hit reboot in recovery, it doesn't work. Have to do battery pull and then power up. But if no fix for that I can live with it!! Thanks everyone again!!
What you are describing is the SLCD screen w/ incorrect recovery.
Copy one of the PMB image files to the freshly formatted SD card and follow the directions in berzerker's thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10048323 - option 3.
You don't have to put quotes around the filename when you rename it, nor do you step 2b in the option 3 process. Easy as pie - try it.

Ok got my phone working great. Just will not reboot from quick boot app or from recovery. But can live with it as I said. But do have a question.... the rom I downloaded has Rom Manager in it. What I want to know is if I go and install Clockwork Recovery and then go to the bottom of Rom Manager there is a place to restore another recovery. And that installs Amon Recovery, which I have no problem with. Can I do this and then delete the Rom Manager so I never mess up my phone to the point where I cry most of the day thinking I have a $350.00 brick! Thank everyone for the help!

Your Evo is fine, so relax.
Try toggling off Signature Verification, then flashing your ROM. Also, I recommend Amon Ra over Clockwork because the newer Clockwork will not flash older ZIP files that don't use the newer install scripts. Did you at least make a Nandroid Backup before attempting any of this?

Flashing to Amon RA recovery will be your best bet. Forget about clockwork. The easiest way to flash to Amon Ra would be to use ROM Manager, and select 'flash alternate recovery'. However, you can't get booted up, so that option won't currently work for you. You can download Amon Ra V2.3 in PC36IMG, from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026. You would then place the PC36IMG on the root of your sd card, either using USB MS toggle in recovery, or by removing your sd card from the phone, and using a card reader to put it in your PC and then dropping the file on it. Then put it back in your phone, and boot to the bootloader. It will detect the PC36IMG.zip, and ask you if you want to update. Hit volume up to say yes. It will then flash the new recovery for you. At that point, I'd try wiping again, flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (attatched), and then try reflashing a ROM. Remember, don't try restoring any previous nandroids made by Clockwork while your using Amon Ra. It will mess stuff up. Good luck.
honestly im not sure if i did i did a back up in the rom manager.. and tried restoring from there but wont do it.. and i believe the toggle is already off

Alright, I'll tell you how to get back to completely stock and then root all over again. It shouldn't take long at all. This is what you do:
1) Download this ZIP, name it "PC36IMG".zip (no quotes) and put it in the root of your memory card. Meaning if your card shows up on your computer as E:\, then put it in E:\ (no folders).
2) Go into Bootloader mode/hboot (Power + Volume Down), and let it find the zip after a few seconds. It'll ask you if you want to apply it. Hit yes. This will take a while and your phone might reboot a few times.
3) When it's done, you're on an unrooted ROM, but still S-OFF. You can do one of two things:
A) Download the latest Unrevoked and run that all over again (takes like 5 minutes).​
B) Download Amon_Ra recovery zip (replace the other PC36IMG.zip) and repeat step 2 to flash it. Then flash whatever you want.​
That's it. From then on you can flash whatever you want. What kernel were you trying to use btw? HTC 17?
ok so to verify....
i have my evo in recovery i scroll down to mount via usb..
i put the pc36.... file into the root part of sd card...
then what?
because i click unmount after then do i hit reboot system now because i did and nothing happen just froze...
sorry if im not doing things correctly
this is a tedious task for myself so bare with me
should i go and try and install zip. from the root part of sd card as if i were flashing a rom
and the kernel i was using was whichever came with the new miui update something like savagezen or like that

It's alright. After you put the 1st zip (the actual ROM), go into the bootloader (the white screen with the Androids on skateboards). Step 2.

Okay. You're almost there. Now that you have the PC36IMG on your sd card, power the phone off completely. Then hold power and vol+down so that it will put you into the bootloader. Then just wait a few seconds, and the bootloader will scan and find the PC36IMG, then tell you it found an update, and ask you if you want to update. You wll press volume up to say yes to the update. It will then flash the PC36IMG (whether its just the recovery, or if you're unrooting and rerooting using Fred's method, you flash the same way from the bootloader)
sorry, fred already got to ya!

Just to verify, because it needs to be exact. THe file that you put on your sd card, is named exactly like this, correct ? :: PC36IMG :: It must be capitals. Do Not add a :: .zip :: to the end of it, because the phone does that. If you did label it :: PC36IMG.zip, it would really be PC36IMG.zip.zip, which the bootloader won't recognize. so be sure that it is on main root of your sd card, and named properly, then the bootloader should recognize it.

[Q] Evo won't boot

I am new to all of this technical stuff, so please, please, please help! -_-
Ok, so apparently I'm a big, fat idiot. I wanted 3.0 Sense so bad, I think I flashed a rom not for the Evo (someone pls tell me I'm not the only one!).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106799
So now I cannot boot up my phone past the white htc evo 4g screen, and I cannot boot in recovery. When I choose that option in the hboot screen, it only gives me a fastboot option and that brings me right back to the white screen. I have read so many threads on how to boot it differently, but I dont understand. If I am plugged into my USB, is there a way to flash something else? I backed my phone up before I stupidly flashed without reading all the way.. I assume because I am able to get into hboot that I may be able to recover from this??

You place the PC36IMG on the root of your sdcard and when you boot into the bootloader it automatically searches for the file and then asks if youbeant to flash the update.
This is why I dislike root methods like unrevoked. Had you used an adb root method you would know how to do all this.

Make sure it is on the root of the sd card and not in a folder. And be sure it is named exactly PC36IMG.zip
All caps and not PC36IMG.zip.zip
To be sure you have the right file. Download this (Amon RA) and put it on the root. Do not rename or anything.
Yes, that is exactly how it is. It says, No image or wrong image! Trying again..
Is there a way to restore from hboot?

Nope. You will need a recovery to restore, flash, etc. You can run the ruu and go back to stock. Try the one I posted in the last post first.

Lol. I was hoping I would come back to see that. the reason your restore didn't work is because you were using ClockworkMod before. You can either do the same thing you just did with clockworkmod, or just start over with Amon RA. Personally, I would go with Amon RA. Seems to wipe, clear, and backup better IMO. Take care!!

Flashed new HBOOT, now says S-ON?!

I was on one of the older Hboots, decided to update that and the radio. I flashed the new Hboot, now it says S-On and it DOES NOT reboot. Everytime I try rebooting, it shows the splash screen and goes right back to the Hboot menu! Can anyone help me?
Try running unrevoked forever from the recovery and it may let you unlock it. If not you may be stuck.
Ok, I got S-off back by unrevoked-forever, but it still doesn't reboot. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've attached adb in case you don't already have it, extract it and cd to where you extracted it to. Then just connect your Evo and run..
Code:
adb reboot

Go into your recovery and wipe everything then reflash your Rom. If you can't access your recovery flash a recovery image of your choice via bootloader by renaming it PC36IMG and placing it on the root of your SD card then wipe everything and reflash your Rom.

Yeah, I think I had .93 Hboot, maybe should have just stayed with that, I dunno.
if it's bouncing you back to hboot it could be for the same reason it bounces you back to recovery after using a format_all.zip file.
Go find Sprint Lover's 2.3. It comes in a PC36IMG file you can put in the root of your sd card and flash in the bootloader (aka parsing the update).
It's rooted so you'll keep s-off and your phone should boot. Also, once you're booted, download rom manager and put your recovery back
Hope this helps!
