My son attempted to root his htc evo to no avail, now it only cycles from the start up to the start up screen. Should I consider the phone dead or is there still hope? Please pm me!

Hold volume down and power when turning it on. Then tell us what you see, you should be taken to the bootloader screen.

Snapping a pic with a camera and then uploading it so we can take a look would be the BEST thing to do. Because we'll need a few bits of information from that screen.
Also, once you've gotten to that screen, since you're already there, try to see if you can enter into the phone's recovery system.
1. While on the white Hboot screen (the screen sitlet directed you to) select the bootloader option.
2. The phone will then do a quick scan of the SD card to see if any flashable files exist. If it finds any and asks if you want to load them just select "no (volume down)." It will then take you to the menu screen for the bootloader.
3. Select the option labeled "Recovery."
4. The phone will then bring up the phone's splash screen. The stock splash screen is white and has "ht Evo 4G," or something like that, written in black letters.
5. The phone SHOULD enter recovery mode after displaying the splash screen. If it does then please let us know what recovery is currently loaded on the phone (The name and version of recovery will be displayed on the screen). If it doesn't then let us know that it didn't load into recovery and please let us know what exactly it did. i.e, rebooted, got stuck on splash screen, displayed error message, etc.
These are the only three screens that I can get. I was able to get into recovery only to get stuck on the "triangle" screen. I really appreciate all of your help!

What root method did he use? Did he flash a custom recovery?
It appears he has no recovery. Get the latest ruu and run that from ur PC with the phone hooked to it via usb

I don't have a clue what he did. I'll try those things. I'm guessing he tried to root using unrevoked, but I'm not really sure.

As long as you see the boot screen you're good. All you need to do is flash a new recovery. Search amon RA evo 4g on google
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
Like Paranoia said, first thing you need to do is try and install a recovery. The red triangle with the "!" inside of it means that your phone does not have a recovery system. I'll give you a quick "how-to" since it seems like you're not 100% sure what exact steps to take. In order to fix this issue you need to install one such as Amon Ra. Here is how to do it.
1. **CLICK HERE** to download Amon Ra. Download the one labeled PC36IMG.zip.
2. Place PC36IMG.zip onto the root of your SD card. Since you can't boot into your Android system and can't access recovery you will most likely need to remove your SD card, put it in another EVO and mount the card with recovery (I'm not sure if you can mount the sd card through Hboot. I've never tried it before. If you see an option for it then go ahead and try it.). Or you can put it into an adapter and plug it directly into the computer. Either way, make sure the PC36IMG.zip file goes into the root of the sd card. ***IMPORTANT: Make sure that this file is the ONLY PC36IMG.zip file on your SD card. If it's not then you can really screw things up.
3. Put SD card back into phone (if you removed it) and then press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. This will bring you into HBoot. Before proceeding, check to see if the phone is rooted. If it is then you will see at the top of the white screen where it says "S-off." This means the phone is rooted. If the phone says "S-on" then the phone is NOT rooted. Once you've checked to see if the phone is rooted use the volume up/down buttons to highlight the selection named "Bootloader" and then press the power button.
4. Your phone will enter the bootloader and will automatically scan for the PC36IMG.zip file. When it finds the file it will ask if you want to apply the update. Select yes by pushing the up volume key. Let the phone do it's thing. Do not pull the battery at all during this process.
5. Once you've completed this step make sure the phone has been rebooted and then try to enter recovery mode. If it worked you will see Amon Ra pop up (check the screenshots from the link provided above to see what the Amon Ra recovery looks like). From here you can flash a custom ROM like MIUI, Cyanogenmod, Swag, Decks, etc. in order to get the system type you want and fix your phone's inability to get past the loading screen. If you decide to flash a ROM at all then please take a look at the link provided in step #6 so that you can successfully flash ROMs without any errors.
6. If the phone is not rooted, or if you want to learn more about flashing ROMs, **CLICK HERE** and read over that thread. There is a ton of helpful information in that thread.
7. If you run into any issues while trying to do any of these steps, or if any of them are unclear at all, just let us know and we'll be happy to help. If you run into something that you are not sure of....don't guess or assume. Give us a shout and let us know what the phone is saying, what a screen looks like, etc. and we will advise you on the best route to take.
Same issue
I have a similar problem it seems as though I lost my recovery (I think). I have Evo 4G and when I hold dwn volume button and pwr button it shows the boot recovery and all that (but says no image no pc36img)when I go select recovery it goes to HTC EVO white screen (after this it usually goes to revolutionary screen) but it reboots and load up in previous rom with limited access and my phone will not read SD Card but pc will. I did a factory data reset.
Upon rebooting the phone, the SD card is no longer registering (i.e. under SD & phone storage the total space says "unavailable" and both the Mount & Format SD card spots are grayed out and inform me to insert SD Card. The card is fine. I just tested it on my sony pc and it reads fine. In device manager I have 3 instances of what Windows calls Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM.

If you dont have a recovery, get the amonra or clockwork pc36img, place on root of sd card, and flash it through the bootloader
Re:same issue
I just followed the steps using the PC36IMG did yes to the update once it updates asked did I want to reboot I selected yes. Before I go back to the bootloader do I need to remove the PC36IMG zip bc it keeps repeating the installation steps for this zip file or once it updates do not reboot and go straight to recovery.

I have htc wildfire.
even i use recovery option (pressing volume - and power on) image of cell shows with some symbol.
i dont have a recovery.img file in my sd card. after saving custom rec.img file in sd card can solve the issue (with the use of recovery option in hboot).
Please help me out.

Hi,I'm no pro so I'll try and help.
I think you need to install a cwm recovery.if you can find a way to place files onto your sdcard then find a pc49img version of cwm and place this on sdcard then using your phone with sdcard inserted you press power on and vol down then let your system find pc49img and install. Goto to wildfire,development,sticky,and search in 3xenos thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318 to find cwm and everything else you need.
Hope this helps,if not then someone else will be more helpful and explain better procedures.

I don't think the PC49IMG method is working after unlocking with the HTC tool, flashing a recovery with fastboot seems to work though.

Use Fastboot
- Download this attachment and extract it to any folder (eg: C:\fastboot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630611&d=1308537074
- Download CWM IMG Image for Wildfire (Buzz) from here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img
- Place that IMG file along with the 4 files from the attachment in the same folder you created
- Now, turn off your Wildfire, connect to PC, and turn on in HBoot
- Navigate to Fastboot and Select it
- Open a Command Prompt Window (Start > Run > cmd)
- Type the following one by one and press Enter (It is assumed you created the folder in C Drive and have named it fastboot)
- cd\
- cd fastboot
- fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.img
- This should produce 2 lines of code - SENDING RECOVERY and WRITING RECOVERY. If both states OK at the end, you should have CWM installed successfully after this.

Now that's just a stupid thing to say to someone who clearly doesn't understand fully what they're doing! From your comment what's to stop this Guy Googling a PC49IMG.zip and getting something completely different to what he actually needs??
Then he'll be even more confused.

find the recovery image you want then follow this exactly. this is how i did it.
I. Flash a New Recovery Image
1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for).
2. Write down the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written EG (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img).
3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).
4. Download Terminal from the Market if you don’t already have it and install it (there are a few different terminals in the Market some have an onscreen keyboard and some don’t experiment till you get one, also hold down Menu in some of them to bring up the onscreen keyboard if you don’t see it).
5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
6. In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).EG recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-buzz.img
7. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.
Thanks for the detailed information but i can't follow those instructions as my phone can't boot.
i somehow managed to flash recovery but it is taking a while to backup current ROM.
How much time does it take to backup a ROM ?
Is it necessary to backup OR can i directly flash CM7 ?
Your current rom doesn't work so don't backup, just flash a new one.

Bad luck lol
I just got a Kindle Fire from a relative that wanted root access, and have performed several in the past without incident. When I was trying to use KFU to root with Superuser ("#2 option"), I accidentally bumped my booby-trapped keyboard's sleep mode button which shut off the monitor. When I turned it back on, I didn't realize my wifi disconnected and I entered option #2 to root (I'm not even sure internet access is relevant to the process). I immediately got errors which caused my Kindle Fire to get stuck at the splash screen. Using KFU, I changed the boot back to normal with option #1. Upon resuming root w/ superuser (that is, after selecting #2), it started rebooting and whatnot but got hung up at a point. KFU says "Attempt to remove root checker. / mv: can't rename 'system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory. / Please wait..." and never finishes. Meanwhile, my Kindle is stuck on the TWRP screen with Install, backup, etc. and won't move past. I have never experienced this screen before with the other roots that I have done; it just moves right into normal display after KFU does it's thing. Being the self-proclaimed techy that I erroneously think I am, I rolled up my sleeves and immediately googled a bootloop fix that seemed to be common with TWRP (command prompt > "adb shell" > changing boot to 4000), but I couldn't get the results the original poster got (I switched my environmental variables to allow for it, but still nothing). Against my better judgement, I will include that I got TWRP to let me into normal Kindle Fire operations and I factory reset it (which is fine, because it was factory to begin with) but TWRP is still showing up. I would have just played it safe and handed it back to my relative without root, but I'm not sure they could get past TWRP boot, and I wouldn't even want to do that to them if it was unavoidable. I have included everything I think was relevant to my troubles, and would be greatly appreciative if someone can glean from what I've done my level of understanding and guide me through this BS. A routine magic trick that I share with my less-tech-savvy family and friends has turned into a headache. To be clear, my question is how do I either A) get rid of TWRP (which seems like taboo from what I've read so far), or B) get back to a condition where I can start the whole rooting process over without interruptions, as I feel that is why I am in this mess. The goal is to get the Kindle Fire to a point where all my relative has to do is turn it on and go (no TWRP screens, bootloops, etc.) I can handle what follows after KFU rooting (namely, installing google market.....nothing like CM7 and the like.) Thank you.:good:

Try this...
Acquire FireFireFire 1.4.zip and transfer it to your sdcard. Boot into twrp and install FireFireFire1.4.zip. Search the FFF thread for information on how to use it. I think that will either fix most of your problems or set it up to fix them easily

At the risk of coming off ignorant, I am going to clarify what I need to do so I don't dig my hole even deeper. Please excuse me
I used the first link to download FFF. It came with the folders "cache" and "META-INF" and the single file "padfile". I assume mounting the SD card needs to be done through the TWRP screen, or do you mean on the Kindle Fire itself? Which part of the FFF download needs to be transferred to the SD card; the contents of "cache" or "META-INF", the padfile, or all of it? Do I just drop it onto the SD card, or does it have to be put somewhere special?
I understand how to get into Recovery mode on TWRP, and I will again assume that I need to mount the sd card in TWRP. What contents from the second link (Modaco) do I need to put on sd card, and where (if somewhere special)? It downloaded as a .zip, so should I just leave it that way and drop it onto the sd card?
I saw on TWRP where to wipe everything you mentioned, so I think I got it covered there. Also how to install flash rom.
You mentioned that Modaco already has google play, so I am going to also assume that this will conclude the fix, unless something unexpected pops up. I will try to work through your suggestion, but if you can let me know if any of my understanding is incorrect, I would be very much obliged!
I see that the SD mounting will probably come from within TWRP itself, since I will need to use "Install" for the rom flash, but I am still confused as to how to transfer it over and where it needs to go inside of SD card if there are any special rules for it.
Do not unzip the file! Place the .zip file on your sdcard as is and install it with twrp as you would a rom...no wipes

Are you referring to your own suggestion soupmagnet, or my question about what to do with the FFF or Modaco .zip? If it's a reply to my question, should I just leave both of them zipped, or just the Modaco one, or what? How do I place them on my SD card for that matter? Through TWRP (which I don't think I know how to do) or onto the Kindle Fire directory on My Computer? I've never installed anything with TWRP; in the past, I've never had to use the screen that I'm seeing now ;p Should I not use any wipes as the first reply suggested? I am confusing myself at this point.
fff you flash in zip form you don't unzip it no wipes needed a rom you wipe prior and then flash in zip form as well
I am seeing on the Modaco website that wipe is not required.
Not for you ... you must wipe...

This is what I'm about to do as succinct as I can be (as per Thepooch's instructions):
1. Download FFF from the first link. Keep it .zip
2. Transfer FFF by mounting SD within TWRP menu.
3. Flash fff
4. Power off.
5. Enter Recovery TWRP.
6. Mount SD again, then transfer .zip Modaco (not the alt version)
7. Wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system.
8. Install Modaco rom
9. Reboot
10. Give to family member and refuse all other requests
Flash fff before powering off.. flash fff before powering off or rebooting guess that better
Crap we made it to thread page 2. I really didn't mean to make this harder than it had to be, I just wanted to be sure of what needed to be done. Thanks again gents for all the input
Mmm, incredible Everything appears to be in order. No TWRP screen and Google Play is included. Thank you so much for the fix. Not completely sure what went wrong, but glad you knew how to get around it. Omne ignotum pro magnifico!

2. In TWRP, I entered install and selected the zip.
3. From that screen I hit reboot.
4. I went to Reboot->Recovery
5. Wiped factory reset, cache, dalvik, system.
6. Installed Gr9.2-update-modacocustomrom-kindlefire-unsigned-MD5-569fe6550cfcfba68dabc3d088324a46.zip file
8. Rebooted...
But after all this it went right back into TWRP. I am sure I am just missing something obvious, please help.

You almost got it. When you install a ROM and want to boot to it from recovery, select "reboot system". You can still change your bootmode on the fly with FFF1.4 by holding the power button when you see the Kindle Fire logo until you see the boot options appear at the bottom.

I put on SD card ROM from ruu file and named it as PB99IMG.zip and desire still doesn't recognize that file and it says it doesnt recognize other files. when I come to the point when it should ask if I want to update my system the options won't come up.
When there's no zip file on Sd card I can't use my volume buttons to control hboot..but after a while they work.
Thanks for help
What ruu did you use? Try the 2.3 one.
I tried 2.3 ruu. extracted the rom and put on sd card.. it didn't work... I can't boot android
Did you get the RUU from HTCDEV? You got to dig into the site. Do not use any other source. If the PB99IMG.zip does not work for some reason try the HTC recommended method of running the RUU from PC with the phone in fastboot mode(Back + Power).
yes from htcdev. But the phone gets into the same mode. I doesn't matter if I press back+power or just power.
In hboot screen, select fastboot. Then run the ruu. Is it that hard?
Fastboot actually looks like hboot...
yeah but then
sd checking
loading ...pb99daig. zim
no image
loading pd99diag.nhh
no image or wrong image
loding pb99img
long time ... then checking pb99img.zip a bit of time and then I see
Parsing SD zip
1 - bootloader
... 8 Splash 2
and that's everything

Never mind the pb99diag and the other 1, they dont matter.
When it says parsing sd zip
1 - bootloader
...8 - splash
Is there a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7?
Coz there should be and once its loaded them all it should ask to update? Volume up for yes.
Il post a guide there in 2 mins to show what it looks like. Its a guide to unroot but its the same method using PB99IMG.zip

u sure when u were in bootloader it didnt ask to update? once it shows all the updates 1.2.3.4.5etc etc it should be above number 1 in red writing.
its strange that it shows everything then not to update
yes I'm 100% sure ... I even tried to press power button in case I just don't see anything but it didn't work... And it's OK when is the bootloader asking for PB99IMG.zip and other files and I only have the PB99IMG.zip. It's strange even for me...

Here ya go, 2.3 GB upgrade
PB99IMG
i own an htc one x (international version ) (Tegra 3 ) ..and after reading some interesting articles about installing custom roms on the one x , i rooted it and put some rom , it was working perfectly , but i was not satisfied with the rom , so i downloaded a new rom and put it on the phone and installed the rom (some nexus rom) ... i booted the phone and it was stuck on the nexus logo and nothing else would happen , so i read some articles on the internet , one of them told me to reset the phone to factory setting , after doing that i've lost CWM Recovery , now all i can do is, get to Hboot or something like that , aND all i can see here is fastboot and recovery , I've tried everything , but it just wont work , i'm a noob , please help me fix my phone up ! , i gave it to the htc repair centre they told me that they had to change the motherboard and that would cost as much as half the price of the phone , so i told dont want .... now is there anyway i can fix it by myself or fix it somewhere else for cheaper ??? please suggest a way i can do it on my own
When your phone does not boot anymore, but you still have access to HBOOT, you put the phone in HBOOT and connect it to your Desktop/Laptop and run the RUU so it fresh installs your phone. Let's say the USB connection does not work (Had this issue in the past with my HTC DesireHD)... What now?? Just like the old days, flash rom through SD-Card.
You need
USB Y-Cable
Cardreader
SD-Card
HTC One X (Fastboot disabled and powered off)
Latest ROM RUU.
*This only works with current stock ROM or newer version. Downgrading will fail till we have SuperCID. More about that in here!
1. Run the RUU and get the rom.zip from it. (Find it in here "c:\users\%usrename%\appdata\temp\"
2. Copy rom.zip to the SD-Card and rename it to PJ46IMG.zip
3. Put the SD-Card in the card reader.
4. Put the card reader onto the USB Y-Cable.
5. Plugin the USB Y-Cable to your One X.
6. Hold volume down and press the power button while keeping the volume down pressed. This will get you into HBOOT.
7. Wait a couple of seconds and you'll see that it finds PJ46IMG.zip
8. Follow the instructions on your screen =)
I've tried it with a USB OTG Cable and it worked. Some card readers do ask for more power, than you need a USB Y-Cable.
Questions etc. please here and not in PM!

can you link me the ruu
can you link me the RUU because i cant find the right one , and can you link me the USB Y-Cable or can you tell me the way to do it via a USB OTG cable ?
First of all do NOT post in 2 sections the same QUESTION !!! THIS IS THE GENERAL
And its all wrong info.....you dont need a card reader or anything. Just a laptop and a original charger cable.
Hook the phone on the pc and put it in the fastboot usb mode (bootloader)
Open a commandprompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot getvar version-main
With that number we can get a ruu

ok ! but after getting the ruu how do i push the files onto my phone ???
Or simply download any rom of your choice that you'd like to use , i'd suggest SENSE based rom till you get used onto flashing.
After that flash recovery of your choice , i'm suggesting you CWM 5.8.4.0 ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) and then fastboot erase cache , then take the BOOT.IMG from the SENSE rom you would like to flash ( it's usually placed in the zip of the rom ) then copy the boot.img into your fastboot folder and type *fastboot erase cache* > *fastboot flash boot boot.img * > *fastboot erase cache*
After that get into recovery from Hboot , after you get into recovery hit *mount and storage > mount USB storage * then you'll see your storage on the PC ( don't forget to plug the phone onto pc lol ) then copy the rom you want to flash onto sdcard (make sure you use the rom from what you used boot.img previously ) , after that UNMOUNT the storage from recovery , then do these steps
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
get into >mount and storage
format system
format data
Format cache
hit back and go to *advanced*
Wipe dalvic cache
head back and hit *install zip from sd card* > chose zip from sd card > go to the folder where you put the ROM and click on it
After that you'll get AROMA installer and FOLLOW the instructions onscreen. after the flashing is done REBOOT === Enjoy the rom.
IF later on you would want to flash another rom(s) just follow the same instructions just skip flashing recovery again. Hope it helps =)

Why not , those steps are the steps for flashing custom Roms... And according to him his problem is that he flashed *nexus* rom , which is most likely *aosp/aokp* rom and my instructions are for him to flash back onto sense rom till he get used onto flashing and learn few things along the way before he hits on aosp/aokp roms.

Lol you're right, i just assumed he has JB hboot cuz by now everyone should have it, anyway he can do these steps even with ICS roms.
Too bad ppl don't read enough before starting to flash things on their phone like this guy here.
Before i started flashing things on HoX first i've read ALOT of things about flashing and possible issues for around a week. And trust me i've READ alot of pages in the meantime lol. Anyway maybe the Ruu solution would be the best for him if he wants to be on stock again but sooner or later he'll come back with *bootloop issue* or something similar when he starts using custom roms again, that why i wrote him these steps.

yes but the problem is not everyone has a y-cable or something else and that takes much longer then other steps...he wrote he can get it booting...i think he just forget to flash boot.img which is the fault of MANY people out there because they don't read enough ...aosp/aokp/cm10 are like sense roms...just putting on sdcard flash boot.img in fastboot and erase also there the cache then flash the rom in custom recovery and that it is...nothing more or less...
That was not posted by shan, it was that other guy. Just get the main version from the OP and and get him a ruu ! If you are flashing nexus roms on a HTC one x you don't expect too much knowledge on this from the OP.
But i reported this thread due to double posting and confusing guidance. Hope you guys agree on that with me
