help with flashing myns 2.2
Hey guys I've been reading the threads for a while and finally decided to root my evo last night using unrevoked..I made a nandroid as well ad a ti backup. I download myns last night and I think I put it into the root if my SD card according to directions I found using astro. I keep on trying to flash the Rom from my recovery and it goes about 3/4 of the way then aborts and states E:can't symlink/system/bin/ then e: failures at line 15. Then finally symlink busybox system : xbin.. I have not partitioned my SD card yet since I have read places there is no need to.. if anyone could shed some light on this is really appreciate it..BTW I'm on stock froyo atm

are you s-off, what recovery?
Could be a corrupt download so I would try to redownload the rom and then reinstall. But what hardware version and hboot do you have?
Yes s is on..and the recovery is clockwork..
Wrong section bud, don't post questions in here especially since you already posted in Q&A. But you need your S-OFF thats why your having problems.
definitely need s-off, but have you tried to DL it again?
yea i thought it might be on the wrong forum so i reposted it there after, i apologize. how do i get the s off. Im not very good at this.. im interested in alt his stuff but not very good yet..i thought when i rooted it would turn s off..and yea ive tried installing it several time with no luck and same error
in another thread someone told me that its not working bc im still s-on..how do i turn that off.. hardware version 0003
First, you need to verify whether s is on or off. To do this, power down your phone, and hold the volume down button while you power it back on. It will boot into a white screen with 3 Androids on skateboards at the bottom. The very first line at the top of the screen will indicate if s is off or on.
If you rooted with Unrevoked, s should be off. However, I believe that before you can flash custom roms, you need to unlock NAND by flashing the engineering SPL onto your phone. On the same screen where you see if s is on or off, it needs to say Hboot: 0.76.2000 on the second line. If it has any other version of the hboot, you will not be able to flash custom roms.
This is what I did 1 week ago when I rooted my girl's Evo (also a 0003):
1) Ran Unrevoked for root.
2) Installed ROM Manager to flash recoveries & TI for back-ups.
3) Put Myn's RLS 4 on root of SD, and tried to flash via recovery; got errors similar to yours.
4) Downloaded engineering spl and placed on root of SD
5) Went back into recovery and flashed the eng. spl (at this point, I tried to boot it and the phone had no rom and would loop at the white HTC EVO 4G screen).
6) Got the phone back in recovery by doing a battery pull, powering on while holding volume down, and selected recovery.
7) From the recovery, I flashed Myn's RLS 4, my favorite kernel, a custom boot screen, and then rebooted.
8) Opened a beer and relaxed.
Don't forget to wipe everything twice! Also, before you flash the eng. spl, make sure you go into ROM manager and use the option to "flash an alternate recovery" so you do everything with Amon recovery which does a better job wiping. However, with Amon you cannot navigate through all the folders on your SD card to find what you want to flash. All flashable files MUST be placed in a .zip format in the root of your SD card (meaning out in the open and NOT inside any folders)
I hate using ADB, and if you follow these steps precisely, you will not need it.
Good luck!
i will try what you say to do..im just nervous bc that sounds complicated with my limited computer skills..i just dont understand why s-on is still there..isnt that the point of rooting.. can i unroot and run unrevoked forever?..is there any difference ?

Check your hboot version, and see what it is. If it is hboot 2.02, that is your problem. Unrevoked doesn't work (yet)with that hboot version. Currently, the only way to root that hboot version is the "boss" method. Can be found in the development section. You can check by doing the same thing the guy before mentioned, hold vol down, and power button together. Then you will see the version, at the bottom I think. When did you get your Evo? What hardware version are you? ( settings, about phone, hardware info) software info the same way, see if your build 3.29 or 3.30.
Edit: looks like the thread is now "like a pinecone" rather than "like a boss"
OP: Rooting does not turn s off. Root allows you to run programs that require root access. With root, you can run wireless tether, ROM Manager, Titanium back up, Shootme app for screen shots, etc.
However, to flash custom roms, you need to have NAND access and that is done by flashing the engineering hboot. You can find the engineering hboot here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342668&d=1276481802
Like k2buckley, if you have the 2.02 hboot, you need to follow this root guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
It requires lots of ADB and this is for more advanced users. If you are going to try it, make sure your battery is completely charged before you start messing with it. I HIGHLY recommend you search YouTube for video tutorias on the root method you need to use and watch it from beginning to end (twice if you need to) to make sure this is something you feel you can do before you dive in.
Merged 2 threads.
I finaLly figured it out..I got frustrated and figured I'd flash unrevoked forever..I downloaded to SD card and flashed it..that turned nand off..then I flashed myns..and it worked..i couldn't believe it..thanks for your help guys..
I downloaded shootme to take a shot of my software to so you guys. But when I try to attach a file it doesn't do anything when I press search..anyways so far I really like the Rom and netarchy kernel..I think I'm gonna be addicted and flash often although I nandroid backed this one since I like it..any other suggestions for sense roms..I just want to have a blazing fast Evo..not sure if I wanna go aosp though..
Hey people!
I read a few posts dealing with same error below, but the descriptions of the problem was a bit different so I wanted to be sure.
I'm quite new to this so bear with me. I got an EVO last month (dec 24) and have since wanted to root. I've been reading up on it, and finally decided to root using Unrevoked earlier today. The root process worked perfectly, so I proceeded to create a nand backup and flashed the CM6 Mod using Clockworkmod rom manager app.
I was a bit excited played around with it a bit, and decided to flash the Miui ROM. I placed it on the root of my SD card, and this is where I lost control. I tried to flash using the ROM manager and it never completed, citing an error. I tried to reboot phone but I didnt get past the white HTC EVO 4G screen. I entered bootloader, and I tried to restore my original Nand backup but I keep getting this error, "Error while flashing boot image."
What would be the appropriate (or least risky) course of action? I can mount my SD card on computer through ClockworkMod recovery, should I try placing stock ROM zip or cm6 zip file and try to flash?
I do not think this is a battery issue, I had my phone plugged to charger while trying to flash nand.
I appreciate the help, I know I probably sound like a noob, but for almost a month I was reading, learning and trying to be careful (obviously not enough), once I rooted I got overzealous.
MOD Version is 2.5.0.1
Thanks for all your help,
DJ
I flashed a the recovery, after a few issues...my phone is back up and running...DISREGARD. Sorry for the noob ?.
Please forgive me and understand I have done my best to find a result before asking this question. For two days I have searched and as much as I hate to ask, I NEED HeLP.
I was running cm7 rc3 and looking around to what other roms interested me. I attempted to flash leedroid from clockwork, selected wipe data and wipe cache, and phone went to bootloader(?) and began the initial steps, wiped and formatted, etc... then said it couldnt find sd-ext. Boots to htc white screen with logo, and freezes. Any attempt to get back to bootloader(?) fails, power volume up or down. HTC sync cannot recognize my device and safely remove hardware pops up. I found metatrons patch, alignment-zip. and downloaded it to sd card via sd adapter on computer. Tried reinserting into Inspire and still, its Power on to htc logo screen - freeze. I have read where peeps can attempt fastboot, and find bootloader or recovery, but either I am forgetting something, or have a unique situation, or I am bricked? I feel I havent exhausted all my options yet, but despite fervently searching, and other forums, cannot find a result. this is my first post, and if anyone could help me, I will get my shizzle running and leave the phone mods and everything in between to the pros...
P.S. can I move or should I move alignment-zip. to a different or certain folder within my sd card? I backed all previous settings up first - before any flash or wipe. Ran wipe-.zip before flashing because the thing said to. did that erase my backup? I am so frigging sorry, i know this has got to get old for you all...
You did not provide enough information for troubleshooting.
Is your sd card formated with fat32 plus ext2/3/4? Specify!
What hboot are you using?
Which LeeDroid are you tring to use?

Ok. Check it, this is what I remember. I rooted my phone using bubbys method and installed whatever rom was with that link, a cyanogen I know. I flashed cyanogen7 rc4 and have clockwork recovery 3.0.5 card was formstted fat/32 yes. tried the latest leedroid 3.0 I believe, downloaded wipe.zip went to clockwork recovery and it auto matically asked about wiping and flashing new rom - attemted flash over cm7, looked as though everything was working, but never got past htc screen. then I noticed the alignment.zip link I should have downloaded also. I downloaded it, but for all I know it isnt in the proper place on my SD card. bootloader screen says ACE PVT SHIP S_OFF RL ; hboot - 0.85.0019 ; Radio - 26.06.04.06_M ; under that it says eMMC-boot and I am not quite sure which ext. is formatted with fat/32. I knew, but Jesus I have read so much and searched so hard I dont know wtf anymore...
A few days ago while flashing a new rom, my Evo quit booting. I wouldn't consider myself a n00b, but I'm out of ideas. Here is what I have done:
* used unrevoked3 and unrevoked-forever to obtain root and s-off at least a year ago
* used CM7.1 stable as my daily driver
* used stock to update radios around the time CM7.1 went to stable
* flashed deck's ICS preview4 to test an app on 4.0, after doing a nandroid and wiping in cwm 5.0.22 (I think that was the version)
* the phone refused to boot, vibrating 5 times and flashing the green notification light
* going into hboot, s-on is back somehow
* recovery could only be reached if the usb was plugged in
* recovery could not mount the sdcard, so no nandroid restore
* tried several stock PC36IMG.zip until 4.24.651.1 finally flashed in hboot
* the phone still won't boot, either vibrating 5 times or showing the red ! triangle
* the 4.24.651.1 RUU tells me my battery is < 30% even though I let my phone charge all night
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to pay $450 for a new Evo. Thanks in advance.

I had this happen to me a little less than a month ago and it ruined my weekend. I fortunately have a repair plan with Sprint as a "just incase" practice, so I just flashed stock and removed root, then brought in my phone claiming it just "restarted" and the software crashed, breaking my USB and SD card controller. The people at Sprint thought it was just "lint in my MicroUSB port," I laugh and told them to turn it on and they looked at my with a puzzled "wtf did you do to it!?" look.
What caused my problem was my SD card was full when I attempted to backup my ROM. This caused CWM fail at a backup and bricked my phone. Is this what happened to you by any chance?
I never did "fix" my phone's usb/SD management issue, but was able to temporarily boot it, but was plagued with random restarts. I'd like to throw in some links but I'm pinched for time seeing as I need to leave for work. (Search XDA) There was a Android 2.2 image that was I able to flash in the bootloader that let boot fully. But it will erase all traces of root. - Before you try and do anything else, research into if there is ANYTHING you can do with adb over WiFi, because that was the one thing that I didn't try. What I'm saying is to do a lot of reading before you start flashing anything, plan out your attack before you execute it. Because I ended up digging myself a deep hole by just randomly flashing images.
Wish you luck man, sorry I wasn't of much help.

Hboot finds the renamed CM7.1 zip and checks it, but does not offer to flash it. I assume this is because s-on is back. Also, I mentioned that RUU is claiming my battery is too low to flash.

My sdcard has over 4gb available space. I flashed stock 2.3 in the bootloader but it still refuses to boot (as mentioned in the original post). As far as I know, you need to be able to boot to use adb. The only images I have tried to flash are stock images and CM7.1.
This is starting to look bleak...
I appologize I didn't see it man

Sorry, my previous post was in a rush. (As is this one, lol)
Really? So your phone just screwed up out of no where while flashing the ICS alpha4 rom? Were you using CWM? Because if so, I'm switching to Amon RA asap.
Moving on, I know how you're feeling right now. But, I still have hope.
As previously stated, after ruining my EVO I was able to flash a PC36IMG.zip that allowed me to boot my EVO. I had to do some serious digging, but I found the thread I used with the ROM that worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060.
None of the old Megaupload links work, but this filesonic one does. Download it and flash it in your bootloader. Its signed, it should work. Try to flash it twice if anything. If it still doesn't work, try one of the newer ROMs. I'm only guessing that's the one that worked for me.
The only problem is that I don't think that's a 2.3 ROM, and we need a 2.2 ROM. Because the only root method that doesn't use a USB/SD Card is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701004 If you can get
If you can get your EVO rooted again with S-Off, follow this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243 (Original) and you might be home free. But as of now, your goal is to find a stock 2.2 PC36IMG. Hopefully someone else can help here.
I sadly have to get to bed. Just got off work and I need to get some rest, another long day tomorrow. Good luck! I'll be back here next chance I get.
Same thing here
I'm having the exact same issue - flashed ICS alpha 4, now I can't mount my SD card. I don't have the red triangle of death, but I am getting the 5 vibrations on trying to boot - can get to hboot, and was able to *almost* get the SD card to mount using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
but that only yielded ICS "preparing SD card" and "checking SD card for errors" indefinitely. I backed up and formatted my SD card, and this at least let me browse the empty sd card in Clockwork Recovery - I am in the process of copying my cwm backups back to the sd card in the hopes of being able to restore them from cwm. I'll keep you posted on what happens, and will most likely try to RUU when I get home from work. Puzzling that my s turned back on again as well, it's been off for well over a year...

*** Update ***
Ok, so after all that, I was able to restore my backup from within recovery, copy all of my data back to the sd card, and now I'm back in business...mostly. I still get the 5 vibrations on boot *unless* i'm plugged into the computer, and even then it's not a sure thing (usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get it to boot). At least I have a functioning phone again. Next step - RUU and factory reset, and see what happens. Again, I'll post back with my results. Hope this helps someone
I apologiz if this has been answered, or beat into hte ground, or what. I cant really find an answer, and not sure what to search for either.
I recently noticed that my hboot is "s-on". I still have root, and su and everything. ?I want to update hboot from .76.2000 to the latest, which is 2.16.00.
I see I can go to this revolutionary website and generate a key which allows me to get s-off, but it looks like thats for rooting a brand new ohone. mine is already rooted, just has S-ON.
can I flash hboot 2.16.00, then flash that revolutionary patch/s-off and be in good shape, or would that mess something up? I'm trying to flash the anthrax kernel, and I need something higher than .76
Interestingly I had a very similar issue yesterday. If you have some qxdm files on the root of your sdcard, and can't mount the sdcard, this may work for you. I had to execute a couple of commands in fastboot mode. I am assuming with these steps that you have a computer, win/lin/mac whatever with adb already configured, etc.
Power off phone
Remove sdcard
Power on holding vol down
Select Fastboot
Connect USB to computer
Open cmd prompt/terminal on computer
Execute
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Execute
Code:
fastboot oem eraseconfig
Power off phone
Insert sdcard
Rejoice!
I really hope this works for you, I wasted a couple of hours digging around google to find this.
Flash the unrevoked forever zip through recovery, not sure if it's compatible with your hboot or radio, but it's worth a shot.
You can always RUU to like 3.70 and run unrevoked. I'd prefer that over updating to the latest and running revolutionary since unrevoked doesn't use a different hboot and is easier to unroot, but you can do either if you don't find a different way.
Happy New Year!

What recovery where you using? And what did you wipe before this happened? You seem to have hit the sake thing as me, but my recovery was gone, as well as my Rom.

I'm using Amon Ra
I was following this guide [Guide][31 Dec] Rooting and Sense Guide! to try and flash everything decently and how it should be. I flash the newest radios/nv/wimax the way it shows. I got to the kernel, he recommended Anthrax, so I downloaded it and flashed it. The phone wouldnt boot past the splash screen.
So I pull the battery, and pwr+vol down because I want to get into recovery. Well it boots normally into the white hboot screen, and I happen to look at the security, it says S-ON. Huh, thats weird, but everything is working normally (i think) so I just go into recovery, and flash ChopSuey's kernel. THAT doesnt let me boot past the splash screen.
So looking more at Anthrax thread, I notice that you need to have a higher hboot int order to flash the Anthrax kernel successfully, i have .76.2000. Someone has a link for a .93 hboot, so I download and flash it. I flash the Anthrax kernel from recovery, but now the phone wont boot, it just keeps going back to the white hboot screen. I have the phone working now by just re-flashing the rom (evo classic), but I want to get the S-ON situation fixed, I want to have the proper hboot that I need, and I would LIKE to get the Anthrax kernel working, although I could go to another one if its just not going to work.
Is there a good write-up on just what exactly the hboot is and what it does? I never read up on it because it never seemed to be something I needed.
Thanks for your replies.

Are you pretty much saying to just completely flash back to stock un-rooted, and start all over again? That would be fine with me, would that straighten out any hboot problems as well, as far as putting the hboot back to the way it should be, or was?
It's not a bad idea. RUU back to stock, accept the updates, then root using whatever the most current version is.
Ok, messed around and updated with a back-to-stock pc36img, the hboot version was still .93... So now I've successfully rooted with unrevoked. s-off, super user, everything is fine, but i'm still at the .93 hboot.
What exactly is hboot, and can I update it to 2.16.0001? How do i know which hboot i should be on?
Also, I apologize again but its been a while. My phone is running clockwork recovery. Can I just flash the amon ra recovery zip through clockwork?

No reason the upgrade your HBoot. Latest doesn't necessarily mean best. I wouldn't go any higher than 0.97, personally, since that's the last version that's downgradable.
You'll be fine with what you have.

Captain, any idea why some of us seem to be having trouble restoring back, while others aren't?
I'm almost at my wits end here. The hours I've put into this makes me feel like I'm close, but the honest truth is that I've yet to so much as get my device to stop showing up as a Qualcomm Diag Mgr, when I first turn the phone on, & haven't even gotten root or S-Off yet.
I've got a HW0004 evo, which I'd previously rooted with unrevoked & 2 - 3 months ago had rooted with unrevoked forever. I was running Decks, with a 32 gb sd card, which I was constantly having to run parted on b/c my sd-ext was losing it's filesystem, and my last attempt to fix this without going back to a 16 gb card was to switch from amonRA to TWRP 2.0, then repartition with a ext4 partition this time. It had been running smoothly for a week, if not longer, so I decided that I could go ahead & flash firerat's mod again, this time with a more accurate (and smaller) system partition. When I rebooted I started having this issue.
I'm somehow back to S-ON, 2.10.0001, 2.15.00.11.19 radio, with no access to adb. When I tried to flash the RUU that you posted over on MikMIk, to go back to stock 3.70, i had a ton of problems getting it to actually complete (everything from stopping in the middle of it, to going to a black screen, as if it had stopped, then coming back on & looking like it was going to finish, to stopping when I got to the reboot screen, but I'm pretty sure that it did finally flash. The only problem is that it still won't recognize my phone when I run unrevoked3, and it won't stay on long enough to let me figure out why.

I've got a HW0004 evo, which I'd previously rooted with unrevoked & 2 - 3 months ago had rooted with unrevoked forever. I was running Decks, with a 32 gb sd card, which I was constantly having to run parted on b/c my sd-ext was losing it's filesystem, and my last attempt to fix this without going back to a 16 gb card was to switch from amonRA to TWRP 2.0, then repartition with a ext4 partition this time. It had been running smoothly for a week, if not longer, so I decided that I could go ahead & flash firerat's mod again, this time with a more accurate (and smaller) system partition. When I rebooted I started having this issue.
I'm somehow back to S-ON, 2.10.0001, 2.15.00.11.19 radio, with no access to adb. When I tried to flash the RUU that you posted over on MikMIk, to go back to stock 3.70, i had a ton of problems getting it to actually complete (everything from stopping in the middle of it, to going to a black screen, as if it had stopped, then coming back on & looking like it was going to finish, to stopping when I got to the reboot screen, but I'm pretty sure that it did finally flash. The only problem is that it still won't recognize my phone when I run unrevoked3, and it won't stay on long enough to let me figure out why.

Well I know quite a few people that used TWRP had similar issues (sd card issues aside). But it could be firerat's that was the last straw. Let's say that you have bad blocks on your system partition, but then you use the mod to reduce the size if the partition to a size that *should* be big enough to accomodate everything, but due to your bad blocks, actually isn't. That would likely lead to corruption of your system partition, and everything would go downhill from there. Personally, I've tried to reproduce most of these issues on my device with TWRP and haven't had any success. My phone always works fine. I think it just comes down to everyone's devices being different, and the bad blocks causing device corruption one way or another with the ones that fail.

I apologiz if this has been answered, or beat into hte ground, or what. I cant really find an answer, and not sure what to search for either.
I recently noticed that my hboot is "s-on". I still have root, and su and everything. ?I want to update hboot from .76.2000 to the latest, which is 2.16.00.
I see I can go to this revolutionary website and generate a key which allows me to get s-off, but it looks like thats for rooting a brand new ohone. mine is already rooted, just has S-ON.
can I flash hboot 2.16.00, then flash that revolutionary patch/s-off and be in good shape, or would that mess something up? I'm trying to flash the anthrax kernel, and I need something higher than .76

I know how to fix this had the same problem a few months back
1 : Download the stock RUU executable for your PC
2 : Make sure you have the htc sync drivers installed on your PC
3 : Enable USB debugging in your phone's settings menu
4 : Hook your phone up to PC and run the RUU (This will return it 100% to stock)
5 : You will know need to root again. (this is the only way I got through this problem)
6 : After you root s will be off (delete or rename any PC36IMG.zip after you have used them from your SD card)
Here is the RUU that got me out of the same problem they won't let me post links yet just google this....
RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.53.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_209995_signed
My phone is back to....somewhat normal now, i think lol.
I may just be having issues with the particular rom I'm on. But everything seems fine.
I have reverted back to hboot eng .76.2 because I wasnt able to fastboot with .93, and I wanted to flash a custom boot image. When I flashed the .76 hboot, I wasnt able to boot my phone, i could only bounce between recovery and hboot. What seemed to fix this is reflashing the rom. I only wiped dalvik and cache, nothing else. This allowed me to boot right up normally, and I have fastboot commands. But I'm back to square one in that I don't have that anthrax kernel running anymore. I'm thinking of jumping back on the MIUI train though.
