EVO Bricked? Please Help

I had rooted my phone and updated the radio to 1.47.651.1 when I tried to update a custom rom I accidently re-ran PC36IMG.zip and it rebooted quick NOW the radio says 1:39:00:04:26
and in the options below I now have
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
I tried putting the phone on FASTBOOT then connected it to the USB and began a stock rom not rooted and it boots my phone into an HTC Black screen Boot mode and begins to update until it comes to the signatures and it gives me an error.
I run windows 7
I went and tried this, connected sd card to Computer with adapter and transferred stock rom rooted and renamed it to sdcard.zip
booted Evo to bootloader and chose recovery.
I as usual got the black background with EVO Icon and red triangle with exclamation mark.
There I click on hold Volume Up and Power until I get the following error:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then I click volume up and the following title and menu appear:
Android system recovery <2e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
When I choose the sdcard:update option the following message is displayed
----Install from Sdcard ------
Finding Update package
Opening update package
verifying update package
E:signature verification failed
instalation aborted
After, I downloaded tha froyo 2.2 file and placed it on the sd and rename it to update.zip
and when I ran Update.zip from bootloader it ran half way but then stopped saying the following error
failed to verify whole-file signature
So now I load any PC36IMG and I get NO QUESTION to update just puts me onto the bootloader screen….

Not bricked, just stuck. Download stock ruu, plug phone into computer and install. Or put pc136.img on rot of sd, boot into fast boot, it should install automatically. If none of the above, go to a sprint store, tell them it won't boot and you don't know why, and they will flash or replace.

What I would do from here if I were you is put that sd card back in the computer and erase everything on it.
while your at it shut down the phone. Hold down the volume down button and press power. When that comes up post what version of Hboot you have please.
And I'll be better able to help out.
WOw

did you try to reinstall another ROM?
if you still see the RECOVERY menu item, go there and then go where it says update from zip on sdcard. then using up/down buttons highlight the .zip file of the ROM then push the power button to make it run.
this hoping you got a ROM on your sdcard. if not just get one at the forum and download.
i got clockworkmod but im sure the other recovery tools have similar options.

@ adelaney Stock Ruu begins to update and gives me an error when signatures are being installed. I tried three Stock ROMS
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459

Ok here's the deal. If you have nan unlock, fully rooted then you should have a nandroid back. If you do then boot into recovery and no a nandroid restore. This should boot you to one of your pervious backup/ system state.
Please note.
If you are fully rooted u should always do a nandroid backup before you flash any update, that way u can do a restore in the even something goes wrong.

Thank you for the information but it was a step I did not do... The tutorial that I went with did not speak about that when I rooted my phone...
EDIT: I even tried mixing files that I have downloaded with various PC36IM.zip and nothing triggers the update question.

Would they be able to notice if its rooted?

Most likely NOT bricked if it boots!
Sounds like you re-applied root but glitched somewhere?
Try root again - may still work?

What version is your hboot - press power and volume down WITHOUT pc36img.zip, update, etc on your sd - i.e. rename it or remove it, i.e. with adb or sd card slot on pc.... See if you can still access recovery?
I've been hammering on these things for a bit and if I can get into the boot screen, it's pretty much good to go...

Hboot-0.79.0000
Also the error that began all of this was running the wrong PC36IMG to begin with... I had 1.4 radio and I think that the one I used had the 1.3 radio so the only thing that helped me boot up again was that 1,2,3 step flashing so I thought that I had to take the second step and that placed in on booter, I have not been able to boot again ever since.... That was yesterday been trying for about 9 hours lol

Yes your just not rooted anymore. Run whatever process worked for you the first time

Try whitslack's method.
EDIT: Nevermind, no can do.

What happens is that my phone DOES read the PC36IMG.zip but it does not give me update option as it used to before. Any suggestions?

Reroot your phone using toast method! That is all! If you are on 1.47 then use simple root!

Seems you have un-rooted the boot me thinks but also read something about mixing radio's causing grief, someone more in the know could answer that... If you can get to hboot usb and try the RUU from your PC? Sometimes taking the battery out and restarting, if communication fails, try it again, rebooting the pc, hell I have no procedure, I just hammer till it makes sense, however 9 hours - holy crap, I'd be foaming at the face!

Ok will do right away and post update

I have done that via PC and the only thing that works with that are the stock roms since they come in EXE they manage to reboot my phone and everything but when the update gets to the signature part it says it fails in the signatures and aborts... any other custom roms that have EXE?

Help! I'm not a noob, but I've borked my phone

Guys,
My Desire was running AuraxSense 8.0 and has been for months. It's also S-OFF so running a different bootloader. This morning, it froze up. I couldn't power it down so I took the battery out. When booting it stuck on the splash screen and went no further. Repeated, tried with SD card removed, no joy.
Couldn't get into fakeflash/clockwork recovery (or recovery at all for that matter).
When I was at work I downloaded the WWE RUU standard T-Mobile ROM but this fails with a 140 error (presumably due to the incompatible bootloader), although it seems to have wiped the phone anyway. It'll boot into the recovery menu or fastboot but nothing else.
I tried a generic WWE later ROM but this fails with error 130 - customer ID (presumably becauase it's not a T-Mob ROM).
I wiped the SD and put a fresh copy of fakeflash update.zip on the root - now when I try to boot into the clockwork mod conosle I get @failed to open /sdcard/d[date.zip (no such file or directory) and e:signature verification failed.
Have tried a factory reset and no joy either.
I can't recreate a goldcard I get the following error:
Rics-MacBook-Pro:~ Ric$ adb devices
List of devices attached
HT044PL01063 recovery
Rics-MacBook-Pro:~ Ric$ adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Running unrevoked gives me "-exec /system/bin/sh failed: no such file or directory".
I'm stumped as to what to do now. Please can someone help me?

How long have you had the Desire for? If it is an AMOLED screen you can follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
But when you donwload the downgrade tool, replace the PB99IMG file in it with the one from a T-Mobile RUU before you run the tool. It should then allow you to downgrade to an earlier T-Mobile stock ROM

It's AMOLED. However, I can't downgrade without a goldcard, I don't think? And I can't generate one of them...phone doesn't boot into Android either...!

The downgrade tool is to go back to a stock WWE ROM. If you replace the PB99IMG file in the downgrade tool with your T-Mobile one from 1.21.110.4 then you won't need a gold card as it'll work

Just checked the HBOOT on the T-Mobile 1.21.110.4 RUU and it's 0.80
I don't think it'll be an issue but thought I'd mention it

Thanks. Dumb question probably, but how do I extract the PB99IMG file from the .exe RUU image?
Read a post which suggested taking the downloaded RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe file, renaming it to pb99img.zip and placing in the downgrade folder.
I've done this and sudo ./downgrade.sh with phone in recovery and detected by ADB devices, but the script stops at "Checking for device...waitign for device. Ensure USB debugging is enabled".
I can't boot the phone into android to turn usb debugging on...Help!

To get the PB99IMG out of an RUU...
1. Start the RUU
2. Once the first screen comes up for the RUU, move it down to the bottom of your screen as otherwise it stays on top of new windows
3. Once moved, go to Start>Run and type
%temp%
And click on OK
4. Go to the newest folder in that temp folder
5. Copy the file called Rom to your Desktop
6. Close the RUU updater and all other open windows
7. Rename the Rom file to PB99IMG

OK, got that.
But still hangs on "checking for device" when I run the downgrade script, and I can't turn USB debugging on as the phone won't boot..help! Really appreciate this, by the way.
EDIT: wooo, hang on. May have sorted it. Downloaded the original kousch fake flash, renamed to update.zip, booted to recovery, managed to get into recovery console and launch clockwork mod, now installing custom rooted ROM. Fingers crossed.

HBOOT Question...Do you want to start update?

Hey y'all
I recently flash the cm7-r2 HBOOT and install the Reflex S 2.1.9 cm7 ROM
Now, I get this message on HBOOT menu:
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER
Do you want to start update?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> No
If choose Yes, then phone reboots and I'm stuck on splash screen
Also, in my Recovery menu, the option of apply the update from the SD...what update can I use?
The one on my phone cannot be applied

Go through fastboot. A tip for you. if you wipe boot, it will go straight to your bootloader.
Punched in..

Hboot is asking if you want to install from PB99IMG.zip on your sd card. Forget about recovery option.

It asked you if you want to flash an update because it forund a PB99IMG.zip on the root of your sd card. To get rid of the message just delete the PB99IMG.zip. And what update do you want to find for your recovery?

applying update.zip just makes the recovery search for an update.zip on the sdcard. It is used in the old times to flash roms, tweaks etc I think. Nowadays people just use the choose zip from sdcard option.

Bootloader not any more present

Hi!
I had a similar Problem and googled for hours without any success!!!
You brought me on the idea, to remove the sd Card, and ... O wonder it works again.
Obviously there was a Programm waiting to be updated as you told on this sd Card and this fact didn't give the possibility, to get into the bootloader, now it works (without installed sd Card again)!
Thanks mouch, you safed me hours, my dog will be glad too, because now I have the time to go out with him.

If you can get into recover try download the rom you want to use and pace it in root of your sd card(not in any folder). Then go into recovery wipe factory setting, wipe cache partitions go into advance>wipe dalvik cache. Hit back istall from sd card>choose zip from sd card>choose rom you placed in sd card and install. Reboot after its installed.
If it didnt work you may have screwed up your bootloader. First why did you use AAHK to load a new rom when all you needed to do was go into recovery wipe factory, wipe cache then wipe dalvik then flash rom. All rom forums have their instructions on how to install their roms. Head over to AAHK forum and go into IRC Chat they will help you solve your issue there.
NEVER RENAME ROMS

Rom are not PD98IMG.zip files...they do not contain radios, so you just can flash in CWM. I don´t know what u did, but as Reinaldo says, you might have screwed your hboot....now if you are s-off and rooted and did a factory reset that means that u have no rom in your device, plus you have just erased usb debugging so, now you can´t use the fastboot. My advice, is that u stop messing your phone. You have to ask and educate yourself before doing something you don´t know. It is very hard to solve a problem after you have messed in such a way,...
EDIT..besides to boot into hboot / recovery is power + volume down....

Dude, in the future, when things start going wrong, Don't keep clicking away at "everything chooseable". That will never, ever fix it. Stop everything & read & inform urself before going ANY further. Just some fyi for the future man. It will save ur device, if it's not already messed up

thanks for replaying guys, yea you're right i shouldn't have done anything before i was sure.
i did wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition but there is no option for wipe dalvik cache, and there is no "choose zip from sd card" its only "Apply sdcard:update.zip" therefore i named the room as "update" too. and when i hit apply sdcard:update.zip it says :
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No suck file or directory)
E:signature veerification failed

and ya, i cant use fastboot eighter
I used AAHK because i thought it was possiable to flash using it.
I will visit AAHK forum tomorw and go into IRC chat, hope someone can help.. have to get some sleep now..
Thanks =) sorry if i have bad english btw and thanks for the info to never rename roms

Find a stock ruu for your device. Plug phone into pc. From hboot select fastboot and run the ruu from pc. You will remain s off. When able to enter Rom select to enable USB debugging. Use the hack kit option menu to re flash recovery. Now from recovery install whatever Rom you choose. Make a backup first though.

Just right click and run as administrator. RUU's are a PC installer interface. They only run on a PC.

Find a stock ruu for your device. Plug phone into pc. From hboot select fastboot and run the ruu from pc. You will remain s off. When able to enter Rom select to enable USB debugging. Use the hack kit option menu to re flash recovery. Now from recovery install whatever Rom you choose. Make a backup first though.

Thanks for fixing my phone.

Flash new ROM to a soft-bricked Spalsh screen using PC only.

I was doing a first-time root. CWM installed OK. Then I did something TOTALLY STUPID...and the end result is perm. Splash screen.
On normal power-up, it's stuck on Splash screen white backgound with green "HTC".
It won't go any further.
Tried Recovery but didn't do BACK-UP!! I don't have access to another phone that supports micro-SD, to transfer the file to SD, insert in HTC and use it with Recovery CWM that way?? (Guessing)
I don't know any fastboot/ recovery commands for cmd prompt to send new ROM to the phone.
My phone stats:
***UNLOCKED***
Marvel PVT SHIP S-ON RL

I can still HBOOT.
CWM is still working Recovery
I've managed to get the shipped rom that closest matches mine via shipped-roms.com- RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe
Or I also got PG76img.zip from xda thread [Marvelc] PG76IMG ZIPs (Taking requests) by member Kalaker (Thank you)
So I have to find a way to flash via PC only.
should add:
When I tried to run the Marvel exe direct, the wizard stalls at the Verifyinf stage as"Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR". The ROM Update Utility cannot connect to your Android phone. Please check that the USB cable is connected properly between the PC and your Android phone.
It is!
I'm using Windows XP
Please help.
Thanks

You can mount the MicroSD card from the recovery, you will find the option in "Mounts and storage" or something with a similar name

Thanks.
Yes, in Recovery>Mounts & Storage, there is an option to mountSD.
I didn't see what this would do. BUT I did mounted the SD, re-ran Marvel.exe- in both Recovery AND normal power on Splash screen.
But I still got the same error message as before: "USB CONNECTION FAILED".
I think I need a command that works in cmd like the one on the Unlock BootLoader stage: e.g. the two-fold cd \Android & \Android>fastboot oem get_ etc.

You won't be able to run any thing from there, what you can do is transfer a ROM and flash it. Try using the stock roms from here

http://www.mediafire.com/?zwzyawscawlgwvs
Thanks (& fingers crossed)

Tried to install ROM from zip:
I got:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
(status 0)
Any ideas what happened?

Spent the evening/night trying a few different things.
Tried a different ROM, on a different SD Card- so as not to jeopardize the copy I have.
So I download, via the Galaxy S4,:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from
www.androidruu.com/?developer=Marvel_MarvelC[/url]
Put the card in the HTC & the download was not listed on the SDCard!
It's definitely there- rechecked it in the S4!
I thought maybe the Wildfire could not see it for some reason so made a folder with the S4, called it Xda & copied the file into it.
So there are now two copies- #1 directly on the card & #2 in the new Xda folder.
I put the card back in the HTC Wildfire & yet again neither were showing. #1 still did not show & although the Xda folder WAS there, the phone read it as having no files!!
So, I thought there might be a problem with either the card OR the downloaded file.
SO....
I got the original SD Card that has the marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip on it, that failed to load earlier, & I downloaded:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Marvel
Once again, when I put the SD Card into the Wildfire- NOTHING. No file, yet, according to the S4 it's there- right above the marvel from earlier.
Strange? I can not work it out. There is no dot/ full stop before the name on either download on either SD card- a method to hide files apparently on the S4.
At least I've got one working? copy from earlier but THAT still returns the message:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0)
Have not found a direct PC to phone method yet either.

Hi,
AFAIK, you will not be able to flash an .exe file from the SD card, there were meant to be used on a PC for flashing through the USB cable, so you will only be able to flash .zip files from the SD card.
The E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0) error is usually associated with a bad META-INF folder inside the zip file, meaning that either the signature file is corrupted, there is something wrong in the any of the files inside this folder, or just the whole zip file is corrupted. CWM is preventing you from doing something wrong.
Try to download and flash the file again, wait for more answers and, as a last resort, try with a different zip file (search for exactly the same rom) or another version in the thread that @csoulr666 posted (options 1 or 2).
Regards.

Still looking for an answer to my USB issue. In the meantime I tried 1 of uk_yo tachibana's suggestions
Downloaded a fresh copy of marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip & clicked install zip from SD card.
This time I got:
--Installing: /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
The handset has been like this since around 10.05 am. I was expecting something else to happen by now (3 hours + later)
I will leave it a while longer, before I try another file.
I assume it has crashed again?
Thanks.

UPDATE:
I've been trying various downloads & ways, yesterday and today. Read umpteen threads & websites.
I've tried multiple downloads of the files. I've used two SD Cards (to verify that SD was not an issue). Also, used both with all files via 2 browsers- Chrome & FireFox, as 1 thread I read recommended that the questionair tries downloading the files with another browser; as either the files are corrupt or the download was- as they too kept getting the "Installation aborted (Status 0)" error.
example of what I keep getting:
Insert SDcard to WildfireS. HBOOT>Recovery
(every time) I do the four wipes...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition completed
(Advanced)
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
+++++Go Back+++++
Then I click:
- Install zip from sdcard
My options
- choose zip from sdcard
- apply /sdcard/update.zip
- toggle signiture verification
- toggle script asserts
-+++++Go Back+++++
I click:
- choose zip from sdcard
I get my list of files/folders on sdcard
I choose:
(example) marvel_signed_021213_015156.zip
the handset then starts:

Even though, later in the thread, the OP says it's not flashable from SD Card as it isn't .img & says renaming is not an option. Just thought I would give it a shot!
I'm looking into "how to rip a PG76IMG off from %temp%"?.
(a) Not sure how to do this yet
(b) If it will even work
HOWEVER, marvel_perfect_stock.zip SHOULD work as is; as a zip- so I put a copy in my PC folder (with the rest of my files-fastboot, adb, cwm etc.).
I just don't know how to use it- there must be some kind of cmd prompt instruction, but it is not listed.
Still can not get past the Marvel_RUU wizard's error from earlier yet, either!
Thanks.

Hello.
On the SD Card side of things, I have read threads that suggest, after multiple downloads [even through different browsers] of a file still return the (Status 0)/ (bad)- that maybe my cwm version needs updating, in order to push the chosen file through.
After doing a "Google search" for cwm for wildfire s download, I got two main options:
1) clockworkmod.com/rommanager‎ BUT, this only offers ver: 5.0.2.8 which is already the one I have.
2) code.google.com/p/cm9-wildfire-s/downloads/detail?name...cwm...THIS gives me a download: Unoffical ClockworkMod v6.0.0.7 Recovery for Marvel.
The file is PG76IMG-cwm-6.0.0.7-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip 4.5 MB. [You need to rename it to PG76IMG.zip and copy it to your SD card.]
Now I have already downloaded it [via Firefox on Galaxy S4, renamed as instructed & put on SD]
I JUST HAVE NOT installed/ ran it yet on the Wildfire S as I'm unsure if it's safe to do so OR even if I SHOULD mess around further with the handset/ WORKING Recovery [esp. as the file states UNOFFICIAL CwM]!
Any thoughts on this, as I'm running out of options for solutions?
Thanks.

Aaaah NEARLY!!!!!!!

Try using a zip extracted from an RUU
1. First download and run an RUU on your computer(the latest one you can find)
2. After the first window pops up, close it
3. Then in "Run" type "%temp%"
4. In there find a file named "ROM.zip"
5. Rename it to "PG76IMG.zip"
6. Put it on the root of the SDcard(no folders)
7. Now boot into the bootloader
8. It will check and ask you to flash the file, press the Vol up button
9. And you'll get a completely stock rom
Do make sure that your bootloader is Relocked when you do this, you can unlock it using the same unlock code

I've just spotted the reply, thank you for the advice csoulr666.
Yes I will do this now & let you know how I get on.
Again, thanks.

Thanks again to csoulr666.
Followed the instructions to the letter.
After powering on in HBOOT, the handset automatically began "checking...PG76IMG.zip". A load-bar appeared at the top-righthand corner of the screen. When checking completed, I got:
Main Version is older!
Update fail!
Press <power> to reboot.
Now, I extracted from RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe-
as the stats for my software were ROM: 2.26.401.3 & Radio 7.57.39.10M.
A perfect match. So what is this "Main Version is older" referring to?
I am a little confused.
Thanks.

Try using one that is newer than your current version

Thank you to csoulr666 for the advice. I apologise for the delay in responding (as I saw this at 9am). I have spent the day (& most of last night ) on Google, reading umpteen threads-
"googling": ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR/ The ROM Update cannot update your Android phone/ Main Version is older/ ruu could not update my rom version/ latest stock rom for wildfire s/ htc wildfire s newest update/ original stock rom for htc wildfire s/ stock roms for wildfire s/ HTC Wildfire S Software newer than 2.26.401.3/ update from 2.26.401.3/ update android 2.3 6/ download android 2.3 6 for htc wildfire s.
The latest RUU IS 2.26.401.3. That is the one I am using, both as RUU, & to extract the ROM to .zip. I can not find ANY NEWER RUU.
I am unclear as to what "Try using one that is newer than your current version" referrs to, sorry; so I could only reason that it must be the Android version.
As the RUU is the latest- 2.26, it should surely contain ver:2.3.5. If it's not, which the error messge implies it's not?, I'm not sure how to check the Android version contained within nor how to replace it as I can not find a seperate 2.3.5 file. I can not find an Android 2.3.5 file download, nor how to update an RUU in .exe form or an independant ROM .zip ripped from it, .
I am now really stuck & fresh out of ideas.

Did you get this sorted?
I too had the same problems as you. I am on the same HBOOT and radio and my Cid is O2__001 (UK) and all the errors you encountered were the same for me.
I got it working tonight by creating a GOLDCARD SD card (search XDA/Google for it and use Youtube to find out how to create one) and using the Rom extracted from the latest RUU 2.26.401.3.
Now im totally stock.
If you need anymore help PM me.
