[Q] evo wont boot and RUU fails with error

I tried one of the rooting processes today and it didn't work. Now when I turn my Evo on it goes no further than the white HTC screen that you get when you turn it on. When I try to run the RUU it gets a connection error and won't go through. Can someone please help?

If you pull the battery can you get to the bootloader screen? (hold volume down and power button when turning on)

You should be able to do what Greenfieldan suggests. It is possible to work through this issue, so don't fear but it make take a few tries.

once I get to this screen how do I get the RUU to connect to the phone? I've tried it several times from this screen and nothing is working.

Thread stalking is fun, I see which thread you are reading, but you may have to reset you phone.
Do you either:
Have a recovery installed (if you aren't sure, then you may not)
have a PCIMG36 on the root of your sdcard, (if you aren't sure then you may not)

Go in to fastboot and you should see something toward the top that says "FASTBOOT USB", once there run the RUU

I have a pc36img file on the root of my sd card. It says that it can't open it when i select flash zip from sd card.

Just download the actual ruu from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060. It will be one of the .exe files same version of you had on the phone will prolly work best. Then do what xhausx said and run the ruu file once there. Thanks xhausx btw cause i was confused too.

or download an unrooted version of your software in pc36img.zip format and boot into the bootloader and it will restore your phone to stock if you cant run any ruu

Need Help
I know this is an old thread, but I'm working on an old phone. Hopefully some of you guys are still following this.
My father has an EVO 3D that showed up one day stuck on the white HTC screen. The only remedy was to pull the battery. I thought it would be no big deal to just go into the boot menu and either try and run recovery, or at worst do a factory reset. Both of these options failed. I even made a few attempts at trying from the SD card with a ROM or two. So I downloaded the RUU direct from HTC thinking that would finally take care of the problem. But after connecting up in FASTBOOT mode and running the RUU, it eventually fails when the update gets to the point that it's supposed to restart the phone in bootloader mode. Because at that point the phone just restarts to the white HTC logo again, and the software times out telling me that it can't connect to the device. Any help here other than passing me a trash can Thanks in advance!

POSSIBLY BRICKED? Unable to boot or access recovery...

First, any assistance is appreciated... I would not of posted unless absolutely necessary.
I am unable to boot my phone or access recovery at all to flash anything, and I cannot get ADB to find my evo. I am only able to get into the bootloader screen, where if I select recovery... it just restarts and stays stuck at the splash screen.
This downward spiral began when I was updating my phone with the latest radios and hbooter.
EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.9 0.003
EVO_HBoot_2.10.0001
I notice it says s-on at the top of the bootloader... this means I'm not rooted?? I've looked at dozens of threads to find some tutorial to get myself out of this mess. The biggest problem I think is that I can't even get ADB to work via USB.
ANY HELP... is appreciated.

Don't quote me on this, so research it a bit, but yank your SD card out and place an update.zip in the root directory of it (maybe just a stock recovery img for the Evo) and then put it back in and boot into the bootloader again. The phone should automatically install the update.zip file from the bootloader without needing to go into recovery.
Then you pretty much get to start from ground zero again.

Make sure you use a ruu from sprint and make sure it is named pc36100.zip....don't extract the zip just place on root of sd card and it will boot and install and you will be back to stock out of the box evo ....fyi, there is no benefit to updating hboot for the most part and you only have to update the radios if it is required to flash a rom....there is a chance you borked your 4g keys and 4g might not work now,but you have to wait and see when you return to stock

could it be the exe im using

if you are trying to use the RUU on the desktop and plugging in your phone and running the exe, it should return you to stock...i have used the exe to get my brothers phone back to stock...so i dont think it is the exe..
another option is to download the stock pc 36XXX file and place it on your sd card and boot into bootloader and see if the bootloader will flash it...that would return u to stock also

will your phone boot up?

Need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW TOTAL BRICK thanks anyway

Ok im stuck, gave this phone to my girlfriend when I got my new phone, anyway it started having random reboots and was getting stuck on the splash screen, it was getting more regular so I told her I would put a new rom on, anyway I tried installing the stock 2.2 froyo with root busybox ect, and I got stuck in a boot loop, so I tried doing a full wipe again and by accident after that I let it boot up, which I though it wouldn't but anyway it did, I just got on to the home screen and it rebooted again and was stuck on the splash screen, but now I cant access recovery, I can however get in to the hboot menu, and when selecting the recovery my phone vibrate and sticks at the spalsh screen, and goes no further.
In the past I have changed the splash screen to a photo but was about 5 month ago, dont know if this has somthing to do with the splash screen loop????
To be honest I have lost most knowledge of the desire as I have an LGo2X now, have I just forgetten somthing?????
ANY HELP APPRECIATED
but my phone is pretty much bricked up at the min as I cant do anything with it
I also have S-OFF

Well, the sure-fire way to solve this is to run a RUU and then unrevoked again. Someone else might know of a better way though.

I guess you can still access fastboot? If yes, flash new recovery with it. No need to get back to stock rom and then run unrevoked again, imho.

First be sure you have fastboot USB driver (search XDA if you don't).
Then get the .img file for the recovery of your choice (usually either CWMR or AmonRA)
Then get your phone to fastboot mode, it should change to fastboot USB
Finally, from your PC type the following:
fastboot flash recovery imagefilename.img
where imagefilename.img is the name of the imagefile you selected.
note: it is easiest to have the .img file in the same folder as fastbook.
good luck

Ok first off when I do abd devices it does not show any devices all it says is
LIST OF DEVICES ATTACHED
and thats it, anyway I tried flashing the recovery img it said it was sucessful but when I rebooted and tried to load the recovery it was stuck at the splash screen along with 7 vibrates.
Also I have had the phone on charge all night, I tried to do an ruu throught windows installer but that stoppped me and said the battery is less than 30% so cannot continue, even thought I know the battery is full.

Ok now I have a HUGGGGGEEEE problem hehehe ok I finally got the RUU to run, and it got to about 80% and said error 110 FILE OPEN ERROR, I exited the program and shut down the phone then tried to restart it and NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL wont turn on not even a power light when charging.
Is it BRICKED???
And will I get away with taking it back to the shop as it's still under warranty????
from what I seen it was the Radio V2 that failed the update everthing else said it was OK

Create a goldcard.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
If your ADB is not working... Put the SD card of your Desire into your LG mobile.....Goto market and search for app called "goldcard helper"... it will give you the reverse CID and you can follow from step 7 from above guide.
After creating a goldcard from your LG mobile... put tht sd card back to your desire and flash below RUU

''usually when this happens you get no charge light, no charge light is an indication of complete brick/hardware/hboot problem''
My worst nightmare, I dont get a charge light or nothing to be quite honest

After connecting to computer ..did you run the RUU

Hmm.. that's serious .... are you trying wall charger.. try charging with another usb cable.. and another charger...if its not charging than...... I am afraid but thats the actual Brick

That sucks man very interested in how that happened though, never seen a phone reset it self to s-on before. I think you would have to ruu to get s-off again, that is if you can ruu back to froyo. What rom are you on? Hope you figure something out.

Was attempting to run my very experimental port of the Vigor RUU. Strange because it showed the splash on my last test, but after moving /system/customize to /data/syscustomize, it did this. I'll try the Froyo RUU. I should've thought of that one. Thanks!

Why not flash an old RUU?

Yeah. I'm probably gonna just take it into the Verizon store. There is no way they'll find out I was rooted, as I am now S-ON. I'll see what they say.

Here is the fix!
This happened to me yesterday after installing MIUI. All was working, but when I tried to switch the camera to store on the SD card, it said it wasn't available. Tried to mount/unmount with no luck. Rebooted, and I had the same thing, five vibrations, then just a flashing green LED. A battery pull and either the charger or USB plugged in a PC, and it would boot to recovery. Still couldn't read the SD Card, so no restore. Lots of Googles later I found the fix...right here on XDA. Found a LOT of threads that pretty much said that there is no recovery.
Read On...

After the SD fix, I could use CWM to restore a known good backup, then copied the two files over to my SD Card and used a terminal app on the phone to run the commands listed in the link. A reboot, and I was back in business. S-OFF was back too. Odd...

I wouldn't. With a USB cable plugged in to the phone and PC, you can get into hboot with a battery pull and powering on while holding volume down. This doesn't seem to work every time, so unplug, remove the battery, then try again. After getting into hboot, you can go to recovery and see CWM if you have it installed.

[q] htc g2 not rooted semi bricked boot looping please help

Long story short my friend gave me a T mobile HTC G2 because it didn't turn on. I opened the phone to find the part where the battery connects to the phone came off the mother board so i solder it back on put the phone back together and turned it on. It booted up normal and came to the lock screen nothing worked the touch wasn't responding so i push power button to turn screen off and then again to turn it back on and the screen worked. I tried guessing his pattern five time and it didnt work it asked me to sign in to my Google account when the screen came up the phone rebooted and it kept doing it every time i turned it on. So i looked on xda how to restore it tried it and im not sure if it restored or not but it strated boot looping. I tried the flashing the pc10img.zip from the root of the sd card it usually says something like version to new or to old or something it didn't work. My phone is not rooted and i don't think usb debugging is on. Any info you guys want just ask. What can i do? How can i fix it? Please help

I'm going to take a guess, that if the battery connection to the motherboard 'broke off', then it's possible you have other physical issues such as the ribbon cable connecting the screen/digitizer to the rest of the phone.
If it were me I would have sent the phone into HTC for hardware warranty (which you can't do now since you soldered it.).
Can you provide some specific information about the phone, can you get into the boot loader, and if so what exact information do you have there? (USB debugging would be easily turned on under system settings, if you can get into it via the screen).

Thanks for replying i don't think anything else is wrong with the phone all the cables were fine. To begin with warranty was already finished. "Yes", i can get into the boot loader/H boot. I can turn on usb debugging because the phone doesn't boot all the way in to android. When you say information what exactly are you looking for?

Power button+volume rocker down (volume down button) to boot into bootloader mode then do a factory reset maybe that would work ?

OR
or sending the phone to HTC would help bud but you have to pay them for that if they get to fix it you got yourself a new toy!

Mainly the info that shows up on hboot, and which recovery you have (or 'had') so that might be able to advise some additional steps.

Would probably have to stick to the original Stock RUU update since you're S-ON (would need S-OFF for any kind of custom recovery, kernel, unsigned packages, etc), so would have to use a signed full package from T-Mobile, I don't know much bout that because I usually have my phones rooted and away from stock as fast as I can.
What stock rom did you find before? links?

Thats is the above link i used and i used all the ones that start with "PC10" I rename them to PC10IMG.zip so the phone can recognize it and it did. The only problem is that after it tries to install is say something along the lines of version is older or newer since i tried multiple packages. One package was going through the process and after that it didn't do anything, it didnt say failed or reboot or anything like that. Ive been trying to fix this for like a week and a half now. Ive even flashed custom PC10IMG.zip to see if it could help but nothing the furthest ive gotten is the phone boots for like 2 seconds the screen is blurry and the shuts off and there is an orange light in top right that wasn't lighting up before. Here are the links for the custom packages

You would have to much it to your exact carrier/phone, Just flashing whatever you get your hands on can be very very risky.
For example for me being on T-Mobile with a T-Mobile branded G2, I would grab PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971109
(noting the *.15 is the original radio my device was shipped with, though I've upgraded to the newer *.19)
I of course have no intention to returning to complete stock, but it's usually the only course of action for most people stuck with S-ON (and then would look into exploiting/unlocking/rooting again from there).

Though ideally using an actual IRC client will work much nicer than a web chat one.

Same problem, but desire z S-ON
Hey guys.
I have the same problem with the boot loop /semi brick. Expect I never had any problem before, with the phone. I have tried taking out the sd card, starting it agian. I have tried without simcard. I have tried to flash the ROM with RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed
via Hboot Fastboot USB PLUG mode (which was the only mode the aplication was progressing in until it want to restart the phone in bootloader), but the phone frezzes and the aplication on the computer just keep working, without progress.
The factory reset just frezzes the phone.
The only thing reali seem to not frezze the phone is the revocery option. Here the phone react with restart showing a image of a phone with two green arrows bent around, over the phone. then it turns off the display and vibrate 4-5 times, og stays turn off not reacting to anything other then taking out the battery and you can start the phone once again.
