Hey,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this issue I have. I have a rooted Evo, with my latest ROM being Fresh Evo 4.0.0.4 Beta by flipzmode. I was having some issues with the rom, so I was attempting to reflash the rom, however its beta 3 (one update older) version, first. I went through ROM Manager and did a complete backup, then chose install from SD Card and checked the boxes for Wipe Dalvik cache and the other check for wipe cache / data (i forget exactly what it says). ROM manager took over from there, rebooting into recovery and installing the rom, atleast as i thought it as doing. Once it was said and done, I now am at my problem area. It will not boot past the white htc EVO 4G screen. I've given it anywhere from 20-40 minutes to load. I've tried pulling the battery as well. I've even attempted to get into recovery by going into my hboot bootloader. However there, i have ANOTHER problem...I can't pick any of the available options. Its as if my volume buttons just don't work. When I have my SD card loaded and I go into hboot, it does some kinda search which yields five results of No Image Found! it then returns to the main menu where again, I can't scroll up or down the list. It says s-off so I assume that means I'm still rooted. I'm not an expert by any means, and overall I'd say I'm a noob to this stuff, but I am trying to figure it all out. If anyone can help me out with what to do to get my phone running again, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!
Hmmmm, that's odd. You can try putting a PC36IMG of the RUU on the root of your SD card. If you used unrevoked, you'll stay s-off, so all you'll need to do is reflash recovery to flash a rom or restore from a backup. However, you need to use your volume buttons to agree to the flash in the bootloader. In the odd case that it just won't navigate the menu, but the volume buttons are fine, it may still receive the confirmation from the button that you want to flash the PC36IMG.
If that's the case , download this file: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/sto...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip and rename it to PC36IMG, don't add a zip to the end because it's already there. Put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader, when it asks you to update, *try* to agree with the volume up button. If it works, hopefully that'll fix your problem.
It's not the greatest fix, and the chance of it working isn't all that high, but it's all I've got.
Oh, and obviously your volume buttons are fine if you can get into the bootloader, unless a button is stuck.

And don't use ROM Manager.....
Thanks plainjane,
Just a couple more quick details before I try to do what you said, I'm not sure which root method was used for me. My cousin did it for me and with my phone mia, I have no way to find out. Does that effect anything? Also, i'm pretty sure i've used ClockWorkMod recovery, as i remember flashing it through ROM manager a few days ago. I've realized that the volume buttons do work, but only when to accept the update for the pc36img..I read about that before so I tried putting one that I believe was for ClockWorkMod recovery on my sd card, but I wasnt sure if that was the right pc36img file i need. So I can replace that with the one you have linked me with. Will running that cause any problems with the addtional details? I just don't want to end up permanently bricking my phone, so I'd rather cover all my bases.
Thanks again!
I would do 2 things: 1 flash a new recovery, specifically amon_RA and then I would flash a rooted ODEXED stock rom.
Click on the word "amon_RA" above and download the PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Make sure there is NO OTHER FILE with that same name on the root of your card. Turn off your device and then boot it to the bootloader screen. After a pause, the file should be autodetected and you should be prompted to install. follow the easy instructions to install. Afterwards, you should be able to go into recovery and flash a rom. Download the rooted stock rom by clicking on "rooted ODEXED stock rom" above. Afterwards, put it on your SD card and flash it from recovery. Once you've successfully flashed a rom and if you're set on re-using ClockWorkMod recovery, you can always download the ROM Manager app and have it install ClockWorkMod recovery for you, but I recommend you stay with amon_RA.

Thank you, thank you, thank you plainjane! I decided to just go for it and try your method, it took care of my phone not being able to boot-up. I'm now at what seems like a stock rom.

Thanks for your suggestion dougjamal, I actually attempted your method first, but I still wasn't able to select the recovery option from the hboot bootloader main screen after running the PC36IMG, so I couldnt flash the rom.
So, I still have a couple of the same problems. I still can't choose the recovery option from the bootloader menu, I've tried multiple times to use a PC36IMG for ClockWorkMod recovery and Amon_ra. Also, while using the actual phone, my power button seems to not work. It doesnt turn of the screen, nor does longpressing it allow me to shut off the phone. If it helps to diagnose the problem, since i'm pretty sure up until today my power button still worked, whenever I pull my battery and put it back in, the phone boots automatically without me pressing the power button. Anyone have any suggestions?
Otherwise, is there anyway for me to just go back to complete stock again and attempt rooting the phone again, and starting completely from scratch?
Thanks again for everyone's help!
Boot into the bootloader screen and see if you're still rooted (S-OFF). If it displays S-ON then you will not be able to make changes to your device.

Yes, it still says S-OFF. I don't understand why I can't scroll through the menu nor turn off my screen though. Even when it times out, I can't turn the display back on. I have to plug in a charger.

Hi,
I hope this isn't a repeat, but I've searched here and Google to no avail. It may be I'm not searching the right things, because I'm not quite sure how to succinctly describe this problem.
I've rooted my DInc, with S-Off enabled. I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1 now, installed from ROM Manager, which is no version 3.0.0.7. I've got ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 installed as well. When I first rooted my phone, etc. about a month ago, I made a nandroid backup, so I figure its time to make another one. Open ROM Manager, go to Make a New Backup, choose a file name, it reboots into Fastboot. If I then select "Reboot" by pressing the Power button, the phone boots back to Cyanogen and there is no (new) backup file in the clockworkmod/backup directory, where I expect it.
If I select "Bootloader" from the Fastboot menu, it takes me to the HBoot menu, with the options "Fastboot", "Recovery", etc. Then, an error message appears very quickly, about missing PB31IMG.zip files. I'm not sure about the exact text of the message since it disappears so quickly, but I've searched around and it seems to be because that file is missing from the root of my sd card (I checked on Windows, its not because the file is renamed to .zip.zip or something). Solutions such as formatting the sd card to FAT32 (it is, according to Windows) and reflashing ClockworkMod from ROM Manager do not help.
After the error message disappears, I am able to select "Recovery" from the HBoot menu, and the screen flashes the white with black text "HTC Incredible" startup screen before dropping me back into the Fastboot menu. At this point, I usually just give up and reboot and keep using the phone as normal.
Does anyone have any idea where the problem lies? Can someone link me to the proper PB31IMG.zip file for my phone/ROM/radio?

Have you tried reflashing ClockworkMod from within ROM Manager?
Personally, I've never had this happen, sorry if reflashing doesn't help

Yeah, that's how I was reflashing ClockworkMod. Thanks anyways.
Try going into ROM Manager go all the way to the bottom to All clockworkmod recoveries and try flashing a different version of CWM Recovery...

Flashing back to 2.5.1.1 appears to have worked...does anyone have any idea why 2.5.1.2 is apparently broken (probably just on my device)?
Thanks!
I've seen other people reporting problems with 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.2 on amoled devices. They've suggested going back to 2.5.0.5.

I have the exact same problem, except my hboot reports as 0.78 I believe. Either way, the hboot menu is as far as I can get. Any other selection causes continual reboots. This started happening after a spontaneous reboot while driving down the road. I wasn't even using the phone. I do have the latest Clockwork on it, but it really doesn't matter because I can't get to the Clockwork menu anyway. Just the fastboot menu.
It says that USB is enabled in the hboot menu, but with it plugged into my PC, it won't show up in Windows. It's obviously not far enough into the boot cycle to do that.
Any suggestions would be awesome. I see about a dozen other topics started complaining about similar issues. If I leave it sit on the hboot menu, it'll sit there forever and is stable, so I don't believe it's a phone issues. It's almost like, if it were a PC, the boot sector is messed up and it needs an fdisk /mbr. I understand, that doesn't work, I'm just pointing out that I believe the behavior to be the same.
Thanks to anyone that can help!
I guess that, with no way to get into Clockwork and no way to replace Clockwork, I'm kind of stuck. Replacing Clockwork was an idea, but I'm not sure how to do that since hboot is all that's available and I can't choose any options without it rebooting continually. Is there a way to just plug the phone in and reflash Clockwork from my laptop with a Windows app on the laptop?

Do you have Rom Manager installed on your phone? If you do you can always use the last option to install a different version of Clockwork. Give that a try...
I can't get past the "hold down and power" menu. That works fine, but anything I pick reboots the phone. I can't get into the OS at all because it just continually power cycles after I choose from the boot menu. I re-flashed Clockwork and no luck and I've re-flashed the entire phone to stock, same thing. It IS stable and the recovery menu you though. I can jump around in the menu, turn USB on and off, etc, just not boot into anything. It's literally like a computer that needs fdisk /mbr as all of the data seems to be where it should be.
I would try to flash any custom and see if that gets the phone to boot normally.
I took the stock build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000 and zipped it as PB31IMG.zip and when it boots, it'll take the images and flash them. It flashes all of the images in the zip and it takes a little bit to do that. Then it goes back to the menu and I restart it and it goes into the cycle again...
Hmmm. I would have used the unrooting guide to go back to stock just to get the phone back up and running and then unroot it again. If you do go that route DO NOT apply the 7.28 radio again because you will brick you phone being that you already have that radio flashed on your phone. What custom ROM or Kernel were you running before all this happened? I would try flashing that again but clear the data and cache first and see if that gets the phone up again.
I'm currently running the latest Senseless Revolution ROM and did upgrade to the latest ROM manager, but haven't flashed anything yet so no problems........yet!
Should I downgrade to CW 2.5.1.2 anyways since it was a bit sluggish when checking for MDsum?
I've read about some people having crazy problems and others actually not reporting anything bad......so what is the verdict? I'm trying to prepare myself first rather than finding out when my phone is stuck
I seem to be having some of the same problems. I upgraded ClockworkMod to 3.0.0.5 and was able to successfully boot into recovery. I installed CM 7 nightly, then ended up restoring to a backup of CM 6.1.
Now I can't access recovery, when I try I get stuck at the white droid incredible screen. My phone can still boot up so I tried downgrading ClockworkMod to 2.5.1.4, but it says an error occurred while flashing the recovery.
any ideas?

Hi,
My first phone was rooted and I rooted my second too so I am confident rooting them however my second phone which had been rooted for a while had a space issue on SD card so I cleared out a few things which unfourtunatley included all the backup files ....
It worked fine afterwards but didnt let me change rom (using rom manager) so I just left it in working order for a few months until I wanted to reflash a new rom (as I am sure most people do every few months)
When it didnt let me, I tried to unroot and root options using superoneclick and unrevoked3 however, unrevoked 3 just stayed on "running root" and superoneclick got so far and crashed. When I go into the bootloader, it says something about some filed missing (think might be some nbh files).
At the moment, when normally turning the phone on, it stays on the screen with the pink circle, the first boot screen.
I have tried updating it using the RUU but it takes a long time and then says "use the correct rom for your device" which I am, this method just boots my phone and goes to a htc logo.
I can also get into the bootloader but when I apply update.zip, it says it has failed and something about files not existing/step 7 failure.
The thing is, I can get to fast boot and I am sure there is a way via ADB to force a new image (such as a cyanogen recovery image) on to the device.
Can anyone tell me how to push an image to the phone without using the RUU (as this didnt work for me)??
Maybe my phone is just bricked
Thank you very much!!
It. Is. Not. Bricked.
You can only push files onto the phone through fastboot if you are S-OFF (are you?)
Have you tried to enter recovery? boot into Bootloader (vol down + power) and then select recovery. Does it work?
no?
Then you need a goldcard. Make one with your working Desire, stick it in your misbehaving one, and then run the latest WWE RUU (link on my guide, check #resources)
Thanks but I do not have another Desire...
Any card reader
yeah, I got a card reader laying around somewhere, if not ill go get one in Tesco, what where you thinking?

Hi Bortak, I am having similair problems with my phone sticking on the pink circle screen. I cant seem to load a recovery file from Bootloader. Will I need to make a Gold Card, my phone is s-off.
thanks mate
if phone is S-OFF go to my guide, look at advanced boot problems S-OFF.
SOLVED WOOHOO!
Thank you to all who helped but I managed to fix it my own way.
For anyone still having trouble...
I still had the cyanogen mod bootloader soo all I did was download the latest cyanogen mod rom and apply it (you can mount sd card from cm bootloader) and after a hairy minute, it finally booted up!

Translation: I flashed another ROM because my other one didn't boot.
Ok, i have an htc evo 4g, and its updated to android 2.3.3
Then i rooted it and i was messing around with the awesome power of root.
I installed the MIUI rom.
Then i started to delete things from this list of stuff on file explorer. It was all in misc.
I think i may have deleted something important.
So now im trying to get a different rom, and when i go to recovery mode, it basically goes to fastboot and i get another list of things, BUT im not getting the usual root screen with things that allow me to install zip folders and stuff like that.
So now im stuck and i dont know how to go back to my orignal settings or even how to install another rom.
Does anyone know how to fix this??? PLEASE?!!
oh and it says -revolutionary- at the top of the screen when i turn my phone on and hold the vol. button down. if that helps.
Please?!?!?!
Sounds like your recovery for screwed up, you probably need to have the pc36img on your sd card to reflash it through the bootloader
We're comin from a pure power source.

Ok,download a recovery image.. TWRP or some other recovery image,then name it to PC36IMG and drop it on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader again and it will ask you if you want to install,hit the volume up to install and volume down,so you dont reboot,then go into recovery and wipe and reinstall a rom,thats it you should be good to go now.
Im having a similar problem. I messed up my backup and was trying to unroot and go back to stock to start over.
I flashed RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
and did a wipe but i missed a step. the un-root step. and I cant flash a zip threw recover because i just get an error message when i try to boot to recover.
I can get into revolutionary but that is it. can i unroot from there by downloading
unrevoked-forever-son.zip Rename it PC36IMG and try to just update???? or will that make it a brick?
Btw i have name NO official updates since re flashing stock ROM.
Nvm i fixed it. Got ahead of my self and posted
Hi,
I've got a HTC Wildfire S, rooted and S-OFF.
But it's stuck in bootloop, I messed with the system/apps folder...
So now it's pretty much messed up.
Didn't install ROM-manager, I know it was kinda stupid.
How can I reïnstall a custom ROM?
Can anyone help me?
Go into recovery and flash from there, or if you backed-up then restore the rom. If you don't have any roms then you can also mount your sd card from CWM recovery. If you don't have any custom recovery then you'll have to flash it through fastboot. I would tell you the process but I'm really busy right now, but I'm sure someone will explain it to you.
Hi, thanks anyway... hopefully some other kind guy can help me
I don't have any custom recovery, only a ROM which I want to flash on to the device...

Don't install custom ROM's from Rom Manager's Download list. None of them are for Wildfire S.
Install CWM Recovery either through Hboot as a PG76IMG.zip or using Eoghan2t7's Windoze tool.
From there you should make a backup of your working ROM before trying any new ones in case of times like this...
Hi,
yes if I install the CWM recovery... can I then install my ROM? It's just a slightly modified Wildfire S Stock Rom...
And, I'm sorry to ask... But how do you install CWM through the boot menu?

Download that and connect your WFS to your PC, follow the steps which are quite easy. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power button, choose recovery by the volume buttons and power button), then choose install zip from SD and you can install the zip file (the rom) by selecting that file.
Let me know if this works
I have the same problem when using OC ROMs.
What am I doing wrong?
Now it's loading for ages or simply stuck in the bootscreen.
I too have the same problem when using OC ROMs. Why?
Hi, thanks for the help!
But I'm not quiet through yet... so I downloaded the WFS Manager, then I connected up my phone to the pc.
It was switched on, and just doing the bootloop again, showing the "Quietly Brilliant" sign over and over again.
And then I ran the tool, and it said "Please connect up your device" after I ticked on the first option ("Root And Install Recovery").
I guess this is because the WFS was bootlooping, and so the pc didn't recognise it. I also tried with the HBOOT menu on, but still the pc didn't recognise my phone. Is there anything I did wrong?
My pc (Windows 7 Ultimate x64), showed a popup saying there couldn't be found any driver for "Android 1.0". However it did work before the bootloo
If you have a card reader, or a phone that can take your SD card, then just remove your SD card, place it in an SD card reader or a device which can take your SD card, plug that device into your PC, place the ROM you want to flash onto the SD card, place your SD card back into your Wildfire, boot into recovery and flash the ROM from there.
I had a similar situation where I had an invalid xxxxIMG.zip file on the root of my SD card and a ROM that kept rebooting my device. Naturally, I started panicking, but when I got myself together, I just realized I could remove my SD card and then go into recovery, then reinsert my card and flash a working ROM.
Hope this works for you
Hi, thanks for the help. But I don't think you fully understand my problem.
So I have a stock ROM, rooted. And I messed with the system/app folder.
Now it's stuck into bootloop.
What does recovery mean? is it the menu entry in the HBOOT menu?
Because if I go to "recovery" and click it, after a few seconds I get a phone icon with a red triangle above it.
I tried putting the PG76IMG.zip file on the root of my SD card, but then in the HBOOT Menu, I get the message:
"CID incorrect !
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
What do I have to do?
find the cwm recovery thread and download the PG76IMG.zip then copy it to your sdcard then reboot to hboot. when it asks you if you want to flash recovry press volume up. then when finish instead of rebooting take out your battery. wait for 25 secs reinsert it then boot to hboot then choose recovery see new ui instead of the old one.

Hi, when I do what you say I get the error:
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
This is my course of actions:
I download the PG76IMG.zip file from the CWM recovery thread.
I place it in the root of my SD-card.
I start my phone pressing the volume-down button.
It automatically finds the .zip file and tries to update, but then I get the error.
What should I do?
I got what you were trying to say, I just didn't realize you had no recovery installed. I had the same error message pop up when I tried to install the recovery. I think it had something to do with the hboot being newer than something, something, blah, blah, bliddity-blah.
Anywho, I think I had the recovery installed along with the root using SuperTool.exe, but that won't work for you, since you obviously can't boot up, so you can't connect to the PC. All I can remember is I had some sort of app on my PC that allowed me to push the CWM Recovery without going through all that hboot stuff, since the S-ON wouldn't let me install PG76IMG.zip. Again, this is useless to you
My best advice is to try another PG76IMG.zip file and just keep trying until you find one that'll work, which you'll place onto your SD card from another device, of course.
EDIT: Link to where I got CWM Recovery from.
In this post there's an auto-installer that I used to flash it onto my device.
The reason you are having bootloop problems with OC roms is because your phone doesn't support OC. Don't worry though it's not just you, even my phone doesn't support OC. The best ROM to go with right now is Alquez's CM7, but I'm sure other developers will make non-OC roms.
Hi, THANKS!
I used the auto installer, and now I have the CWM recovery!
Can someone tell me now which options I should use to install the new ROM?
Maybe an advice of which ROM would be the best one?
I'd like something fast and stable, it would be handy to have one which doesn't have any stock apps installed with it...
I'd go with Jikantaru's ROM, if I wanted a more Sense-ish experience (which I, personally, don't). It does away with the bloatware, but it keeps Sense UI. I couldn't use this one, since my SD card is only 2 gigs and I can't partition it correctly :\
Therefore, my pick would be Cyanogenmod 7, which gives you a pure Android experience (no trace of HTC's bloatware, spyware or crapware). It takes away everything you don't need or most likely don't use and keeps it all clean and speedy, since there's no Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz or any other company-created user interface, leaving you to run everything right on top of the Android system. However, I've had some trouble with this one. First I had no mobile data connection or WiFi, and when I finally fixed that problem, I noticed I had no phone app -.-
So, now I'm using m1ndh4x8r's ROM, and I'm pleased enough with it. It lets me overclock and stuff, though I fear I might have effed something up while reverting to it from my non-fully-working CM7 flash, and now I can't install most apps :\
Now I'm pretty much waiting for a fully-operational CM7 build to come out so I can finally use my phone's full potential.
white htc screen
Hey hey =)
I installed the cm7 by alquez (already tried the RC and the nightly build) and I'm stuck at a white boot screen - I don't know if this is the boot loop error - I only see the green HTC sign with white background
Yesterday, I unlocked the phone, rooted it and today, I installed the CWM and from there, resetted the phone, data, and installed the zip.
Now, the white screen doesnt go away, even after 15min or so
Is there a thing i'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

Wipe all data and cache including dalvik from within clockwork mod
ok, shall I also format boot?
because I read it's pretty nasty deleting it if you don't install a new one, is that right? ^^
Dunno what has changed but thank you for your tip, it worked now!! =)
PS: didnt format boot ;-)
Hi all
This is the first time I tried to root my phone and install ICS on it. The phone was on 2.3.4 and then I tried to root it using unrevoked tool. Initially it was the latest version of the unrevoked and hence it did not allow me to root it. I went for one lower version and the phone was rooted successfully.
After that I followed the instructions from the androidlookout website.
All the steps went fine. When installed zip files, it did say that file was installed successfully. Now when I am trying to reboot after that, all I get is the first screen with "htc Incredible" written and it does not go ahead. I waited for hours but it did not move. Then I pulled out the battery and tried using the hard reset using Power and Volume Down. I selected option to reboot now and again stuck at the same screen.
I believe the phone is not bricked as it is still allowing me to go to the recovery menu. Any help would be truly appreciated. I am sure I might have messed up somewhere.

You don't say anything about the ICS version you attempted to flash. I suggest you try flashing another rom such as the reliable Nil's 2.1. Then if that is up running save a nandroid copy of that and try flashing the IC-dinc AOKP or Kang roms.
Pull the battery, press volume down and power button. You should be at the bootloader screen and it should say S-off if you are rooted. On the menu, go to recovery and press the power button, it should then reboot to the CWM recovery menu. You can then go to mounts and select USB mount to get the nil's (or other rom) that you downloaded to your computer and transfer it to the root of the sd card; then go back to the main menu and do a factory reset; go back to mounts, and format system and boot; then flash your rom and reboot. It should work.
Wrong section. This should be in Q&A, per site rules. Thought there was a 10 post rule, mabey they did away with it.
That being said, wipe the phone from recovery, and reflash a rom.
It sounds like you might have gone ahead with flashing before achieving S-OFF. Here is a good guide on how to downgrade to 2.2 and use unrevoked to get S-OFF. As always be sure to make a nandroid backup before you downgrade. I followed the steps in the guide to a T and am now rooted, S-OFF, with ICS running
You said that can get into the recovery menu, go in wipe your stuff and reflash.

Thank you sir!! I apologize for posting in the wrong manner but I did as you suggested. I wiped off the user data and reflashed it and voila, it worked this time.
Thank you so much!
