Flashed new HBOOT, now says S-ON?! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

HBOOT problem

Okay, so I just finished completing the guide on how to root 2.2, and I read on the forums that some people were having trouble installing CM6 with the method, and a different HBOOT was required. I flashed the HBOOT from showthread.php?t=75283 and now my phone will not boot. It keeps going to the Bootloader, any ideas as to what I can do?
[Edit]
I can get into Amon_Ra recovery fine

And what do I do from Recovery? I'm sorry, but I'm new to all of this.
[Edit]
I can't boot my phone up for some reason, if there is something I can mess with in recovery mode, let me know
I managed to get my HBOOT back to 0.79.0000, but it still won't go past the bootloader screen, no matter how I try to restart the phone.

Wipe, then flash CM6 or something else from recovery.
To flash a rom, put the zip file on the SD card in the bottom folder. Get into the Amon ra recovery. Clear your cache. Flash the zip file. All done.
Btw, before you clear the cache and flash the zip do a man's backup... Always do a man's backup. That's what will save you if you screw up.

I ended up pushing the PC36IMG.zip from a link in that thread, with the default HBOOT. Now I gotta go back to 0.76 lol. One quick follow up, how do I push/delete/move files from my sdcard within adb in recovery? I can't seem to find the files when I do ls and cd into a dir.

This is right. I had the same prob then ran toasts simpleroot nandunlock to get hboot .76. For some reason I lost my flash.bin and had to reflash a recovery thru cmd to atop getting flash_image not found message
So basically I need to go back and forward from .79 to .76 everytime I want to switch between cm6 and other custom roms like fresh or any of those roms?

I'm still pretty new to this stuff, so bare with me. And please if someone notices a mistake in this guide let me know so I can change/fix it.
First of all you need to make sure you've fully completed all the steps (including part 2) for rooting 2.2. Make sure you're in recovery, this guide will flash Amon_RA 1.8.0. After that it's pretty simple:
1) Download the PC36IMG.zip from
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7889836&postcount=18​
2) Copy it in zip format to the tools directory of your android SDK, mine is
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools​
3) Open cmd from the tools location
Windows 7: highlight the tools folder, then shift + right click and hit "open command window here". cmd window should pop up that has the location of the tools folder.​
4) Type
adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/​
To make sure it transferred okay, go to flash zip in recovery and see if the file is there.
5) Back out of recovery into the boot loader by rebooting the phone (should be an option in recovery somewhere)
6) click bootloader once your evo starts up, and it should auto detect the new PC36IMG.zip and ask for you to apply update, apply it and reboot. You should now have the 0.76 bootloader and Amon_RA 1.8.0.
7) You can now delete the PC36IMG.zip file if you want by typing
adb shell
rm PC36IMG.zip​
This next part if only for cyanogen mod, but it should be pretty similar to other ROMs.
1) Download all files needed for cyanogen mod (both the ROM and Google Aps)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596​
I also suggest you download the latest radio from XDA as well.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485​
2) Place all the files in the tools folder exactly as they are.
3) Boot into recovery on your evo.
4) Open a cmd prompt from the tools folder just like in step 3 in part 1
5) Type:
adb push EVO_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.zip /sdcard/
adb push update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip /sdcard/
adb push gapps-hdpi-20100817-signed.zip /sdcard/​
6) Chose flash zip in recovery and flash radio.zip, reboot the phone
7) Go back into recovery
8) Wipe your SDCard (cache/davlk-cache/etc.)
9) Flash cyanogemod ROM and then Google Apps
You should now have an updated radio, Cyanogen mod and the latest google apps. Good luck, if you have any questions please let me know. I'm pretty new at this android stuff but I'll try to help the best I can.

[Q] HELP!my evo doesnt Start fully!

i flash CM7 savage rom and gapps and all seems normaly running a great rom but when i turn it off for a bit and then i turn it on...my evo doesnt start fully and its stuck on boot doesnt even let go to the recovery it restarts all over again ...i tried to clear the data or restart the bootloader...and the battery is charge so its not it ...can some one help me with this or any advice what i should do .... ????
Pulling the battery, waiting a couple minutes, and then holding vol+down and power doesn't allow you to access your bootloader?
yes it does but then i try recovery and it doesent work tho.. :/ and i already put the battery out its benn 24 hours like this...
I'm not entirely sure, then. I'm rather new myself, so I'm not too knowledgeable yet. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will chime in soon.
DirtyShroomz should be perusing these forums right about now... anytime, buddy.
What kernel are you using...had similar problem with sense ROM due to a flashed kernel that didn't play well with custom ROM. You can try to reflash your recovery if you can find a flashable zip of it or a PC36100.IMG of it. Put on root of sdcard and flash PC36100.IMG through bootloader or flash zip through recovery. What does your recovery do when you access it...it wont let you reflash the ROM or what

Please be a little more specific. When you say 'but then i try recovery, and it doesnt work tho', what doe you mean? Does it hang at the white 'htc evo 4g' screen (splash screen) or does it give you a black screen with a red triangle? When you get to the bootloader, it still shows that you are indeed S-off, correct? What happens when you pull the battery, and try to boot normally? Do you have any success? If so, download ROM manager from the market, and use that to reflash whichever recovery you were using, either clockwork or amon ra ( i suggest amon ra) If you are unable to boot into the rom at all, and you're unable to access your recovery, then the first thing to try is reflashing your recovery, using the bootloader. To do that, download the PC36IMG that I'll attatch. That is Amon Ra recovery, version 2.3. Download the zip file, make 100% sure that it's named exactly PC36IMG (capitals matter), and put it on the main directory of your sd card ( you'll need to either use an sd card adapter, and put it right into your computer, or put the sd card in a different phone to transfer the file) You may be able to access the sd card using hboot usb, I don't recall at the moment. Either way, get the file on your sd card somehow. Make sure it's named right, and not in any folders. Then put the sd card back in your phone, and boot into the bootloader. The bootloader should then scan and find the PC36IMG file, and ask you if you want to update. Select volume up to say yes. Once it's done flashing, from the bootloader, select 'recovery'. You should now boot into Amon Ra recovery. From that point, I'd suggest doing a complete wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache), and then flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (i'll attatch it) Once you're done wiping, then reflash the ROM and Gapps. Reboot your device, and you should boot into the ROM. Good luck.
EDIT: I just saw that you were using clockwork before. I don't have a PC36IMG of clockwork, so just use Amon Ra for now. It's a better recovery, but if you must go back to clockwork, once you're phone's back up and running, you can easily use ROM manager to select 'flash clockworkmod recovery' , and that'll get you back on clockwork. just please be sure not to attempt to restore a clockwork backup using Amon Ra. That's a no no. You need to use clockwork to restore a backup that was made by clockwork. Just so ya know.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up, I got the situation now. Yes, flashing the PC36IMG, following my previous instructions will give you a recovery back. Once you get recovery back, you'll be able to wipe everything and flash the rom again, starting over. Recovery is all you need man!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked. Now that you have recovery back, you'll be good to go. Just make sure to do full wipes before flashing roms, and I suggest sticking with Amon Ra instead of clockwork. Once you get the system running again, make a nandroid backup using Amon Ra, and make sure to check the 'wimax' box, to backup your RSA keys (you dont need to backup wimax every time, just be sure to keep a good backup around of it). Then you'll have a solid backup using Amon, because as I said before, as long as you stay with Amon Ra, your previous clockwork backups are useless.
I have a similar issue. EVO bootloops twice and then gets stuck at 4G and stays there. I am able to boot into bootloader. It has
HBOOT 2.02 S-ON.
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01
So far I have tried....
Fastboot USB
RUU 3.30
RUU 3.70
Took the sdcard out and put PC36IMG.ZIP for 3.30 and 3.70. HBOT scans it with the blue bar and does the "checking the zip" and then back to bootloader. Does not give me an option to update. Any suggestions? I need help.

Sorry, I didn't see your question before I went to bed last night. So you are trying to flash back to stock? That's your goal. I see you're already S on. So both of the RUU's that you tried failed on you? What happened when you tried to run the RUU, did it give you an error or what? Do you have HTC Sync installed? You only tried putting one PC36IMG on your sd card at a time right? From the way you described it, it kind of looks like you loaded both on the sd card at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can even do that. Anyways, I'd try downloading the PC36IMG from a different source, confirming that you have a good download, and trying again. THe bootloader should scan and ask you to update. The only time I've seen where it doesn't is if the PC36IMG is named incorrectly, if it's in a folder, if the file is corrupt, or if your sd card is corrupt. If you can't get the PC36IMG to work, I'd suggest formatting your sd card (back it up first) then loading just the PC36IMG on there, and try again. Good luck.
Thanks for seeing the question. Tried pretty much everything. I just want it to work thats all. Its never been rooted. Now I tried the RUU for 3.29, 3.30 and 3.70 and they all give me Error 132 Signarure Error. I ran the RUU by putting EVO in Fastboot. I tried formatting the SDCARD and individually putting the PC36IMG. It does loading with the blue bar on the side, then "checking the PC36IMG" and back to HBOOT. Never gives me an option to "volume up" to update. I have done the PC36IMG files on another EVO and they worked fine before. I have tried 2 different SDcards. I got the RUU from shippedroms and also from here on xda. I got all PC36IMG from here. Don't know what else to do.

So, you've never been rooted before? Everything was just working fine, and then suddenly it won't boot up? Just hangs at the 4g screen? Is that accurate? Were any changes made to your phone before this happened? Any unusual apps you added, changes you made, anything noteable at all? Or just 100% random out of the blue?
So you ran the RUU with the Evo in fastboot, what happened? Did the RUU appear to run successfully, or does it error out? Any info on what happens when you attempt the RUU would be great. Did you try downloading a PC36IMG or RUU from this thread yet? I have never had a problem with one from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. Do you know what software version, radio version, and hboot version you currently had on your phone before it started acting up? Was it the most recent OTA, 3.70 software?
There is annother way to try to flash the PC36IMG using fastboot commands, which I've never done, so don't know the instructions off the top of my head. I'll post back when I find how to do that.
Are you sure you're not getting a bad download of the RUU's and PC36IMG? It's odd that your bootloader scans it, but doesn't ask you to update. That could be due to a corrupted file (bad download) Do you have a good internet connection when you're downloading the files?
The phone was never rooted. I bought it from someone. Practically brand new. No damage at all. I downloaded every single RUU and PC36IMG file from the link you mentioned but same thing happens. RUU ERRORS 132 and PC36IMG files scan and check out but no choice to press volume up for update. Hboot is2.02, radio is 2.15, s-on and the software version when I run the RUU says 3.30. I am stuck at this point. I can only get the phone to recognize fastboot. Help.....

HTC Evo Goes to FASTBOOT Instead of Recovery

Hey guys so I have been messing with my Evo trying to get S-off and trying to get it to start with clockwork recovery but I have had no luck after at least 6 hours of trying. So I have decided to seek some expert advice so anything will help.
About my evo
Purchased day it came out and rooted it the following night with a tedious method I don't remember at all.
HBOOT- 0.79.0000
Radio - 1.39.00.04.26
Rom Installed - Cyanogen 7.0.3.1
My initial problem
I was trying to get my phone to boot to recovery (latest clockwork recovery and Amon RA 2.3) but every time I tried I would see the red triangle with the exclamation mark. So to fix this I tried running the latest unrevoked and that would get hung up at rooting... so then I wiped my phone and tried again and still nothing. I would get stuck at either rooting... or firmware too new then I tried using an older version of unrevoked (3.21) and it seemed to get further. It ended up getting stuck at reboot.
New problem
Now I cant enter recovery at all. Whenever I try entering through rom manager it takes me to FASTBOOT and even if I try entering recovery through bootloader it does the same. Any suggestions will help! And if you need any more information I will be glad to help.

Place that on the root of your sd card. Turn your phone off, boot into the bootloader while holding vol+down as you turn the power on. Let it scan, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery, from the bootloader, and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3 recovery.
Jeez, please stop using ROM Manager to boot to recovery, or to do anything else and explain how you can be using CWM AND AR??
Okay it booted and recognized the file PC36IMG. As for the update, how do I apply it? I click recovery and it still takes me to FASTBOOT.
@HipKat and I tried both recoveries at different times. First clockwork, the amon ra.

It should have asked you to apply update, which you would have used the volume keys to navigate to yes, then pressed the power button to make the selection. If ya didn't get it, do the process again.
It doesnt ask me that and I have tried 5 times already. All it does is return to the bootloader screen.
The script in my sig should be able to recover it, just flash cm7 again once it's done and you should be good to go. You will be able to get to the recovery afterward by holding down power and selecting reboot
So I have been trying to use AutoRoot and was following the video on the thread but I keep getting hung up at "ERROR Could not access the SD card!" Also I was trying to use flashzip as suggested in this thread with your response. And I noticed that it was notifying me my nand was locked. Does that matter at all?

It sounds like you never got fully rooted if your nand is locked (s-on) and the sd card not being recognized could be caused by unrevoked not undoing something. Flashing the 3.29 PC36IMG will most likely fix the sd card error, but if not you'll need to use the OpenShell script from the autoroot folder and type the following:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
If you could attach the autorootlog.txt file to a post that will also give some more information about the condition of your phone.

Anywhere in the autoroot folder will be ok. It can't get your firmware version either so there is definitely something weird going on there, but you should be good once 3.29 is flashed.
Its currently flashing my firmware. Everything seems good so far! I will keep you updated.
edit: It says
congratulations! Your phone is now rooted with a customer recovery capable of flashing ROMs!
Unrevoked Forever was not required to root your phone but you must flash it if you plan on using a production hBoot. The ENG hBoot that is currently installed is unlocked by design and has extra features that can not be used on newer version.
WOW! Amazing, thanks so much! S-off, I can enter a custom recovery, and installing cyanogen as we speak. Finally a full root. I have been trying to achieve this forever. Any suggestions on roms? I have been using cyanogen forever.

Glad to hear that, you'll want to remember not to use any RUUs or upgrade your hboot though. Unrevoked forever can be used to permanently unlock it but as is flashing a RUU will completely unroot your phone and flashing anything newer than 3.29 will prevent you from downgrading your hboot again.
I'm currently using aamikam's sense 2.1 rom from here but have been looking for another, I can't lower brightness with any of the GB sense ROMs so my battery gets murdered when the screen is on. I'm digging the new sense though.

What exactly is hboot? I want to make sure I don't foolishly upgrade it.

hBoot stands for hardware boot, it's just another name for the bootloader. Flashing a RUU is guaranteed to upgrade it but aside from that you shouldn't really have to worry about it.

Anyone have a PB recovery image I can flash? Will this work?
You can try the stock RUU, its a PB31IMG.zip and flashed in bootloader. Get it at www.dougpiston.com under stock images I think.
tried that, phone is toast, cannot get to recovery

If you out the stock RUU file on your sd card and it is named PB31IMG.zip, bootlader recognizes it and flashed the file. There is no need to get into recovery with that file.

I tried flashing the RUU and a Recovery Image
I can flash them both through the bootloader, but open reboot.... the phone starts looping again.
Pretty certain my Dinc is dead......
Thanks for your replies

I've seen in other threads that if you have insurance, they are replacing the D1 with the D2. Almost makes me wish I had your problem.
I don't have insurance so I decided to relieve my suffering with a new Thunderbolt

[Q] MIUI will not flash and is stuck in boot loop

Hi,
I started having problems with my phone a few days ago and today I attempted to reset it. It's now stuck in a boot loop every time at the MIUI logo. I've tried flashing my ROM again but had no luck. When I go into recovery it does not recognize anything on my SD card. I have had this ROM installed for some time now. I have clockwork mod but it won't load! I just want to be able use my phone again. Any suggestions are appreciated!
My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible (original) and I am running MIUI 2.11.9
Best,
Doug

A little confused. You said when you go into recovery, then you say you have CWM, but it does not load. So can you get into recovery or not?
Re flash cwm or flash twrp, and then try to do a restore or flash a rom. If recovery still wont see your sdcard, then reformat it fat32 with a pc and try again.
I assume you tried to do a factory reset from the hboot menu and thats where the problem started?

I can only get into the factory recovery. It's not CWM.

So I checked the SD card using a friends phone and everything is normal. All CWM and MIUI files are still there. When I try to go through my phone however, my PC does not recognize the device.

Are you s-off, bootloader unlocked, or both? If so just flash cwm or twrp.

Yes, S-off and it should be unlocked. On the HBOOT screen there is no option to load the SD card. It's like my phone does not recognize it.

Use a pc to backup and then format the card fat32. Then download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/PB31IMG.zip and place it on the sdcard in no folders named exactly as it is (PB31IMG.zip). Boot to hboot and it should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install.
Or use fastboot to flash this image http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/recovery.img.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Ok, so I reformatted the card and ran the file in hboot. Should I copy all the the backed up files onto the card again? Thank you for the help, everyone!

Alright, so I was able to boot into recovery. However, when I try to flash a rom (I've tried two different versions of MIUI) it's stating that "some symlinks failed" and I am getting an error:
E:Error executing updater binary zip '?sdcard
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/MIUI.us_inc_v4.1.2.1
updating partition details
and then the flash fails.

Its because the rom zip has not been updated for twrp. Either learn how to mod the file, or you may want to flash cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/ recovery instead.
