Clockwork recovery after UnrEVOked. Help!

I rooted my Evo last night with no problem and then decided to risk taking chances modding. I ended up replacing the HTC lockscreen with the vanilla one! However, I ended up trying to do a clockwork mod (the one that has the battery number on the top) and now my phone is in bootloop. I can't get my computer to recognize the phone now to download something on it. Anyone know of a way around this?

You should be able to pull the battery and be able to boot right back to recovery. Did you try that? Loops are POST recovery override so I would guess you haven't tried this yet?

Yes i'm in recovery but everytime I try to recover it goes into clockwork recovery and bootloops again. My laptop doesn't recognize the phone either.

Have you tried "fastboot?"

Yeah I did and I keep getting the error message "Connection failed" on my laptop. I'm on Windows 7

Thanks for taking the time to help me btw

Have you tried a different USB port? Strangely, sometimes Windows gets picky with a particular port / phone combo... and then choosing a different port often fixes connection failures.
Also, did you try factory resetting the phone as well? Like... clear storage... followed by full wipe?

Yeah I tried to reset factory but it resets it right into "Clockwork recovery." Trying to change ports now.

Yeah my main problem is I downloaded that mod and I need to get the phone back to how it was when I first used the Unrevoked 3.2

try booting to fastboot... then reboot your PC... then use a previously unused USB port... switch things around if you have to.

Actually... I have another idea...
IF you have unrevoked forever on there, I am guessing this should work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764062&highlight=amon_RA
that thread shows how to easily get switched to amon_RA from clockwork essentially in one easy step... but it requires that you push the img file.. which you are mentioning you cannot do... BUT... if you have a card reader/writer, you can pop your micro SD card out of the phone and into a reader/writer and put the img file in its root... along with a ROM of choice. then boot to the phone and it will automatically ask you if you want to restore the image file. say yes and you will be loaded up with amon!! amon is better. once you have that on there, pull the pcimg36 file off and flash the ROM that you picked from your amon recovery.
does this make sense? if not i can try to give better detail.

Okay this worked! What rom should I download? I would like one that has the Vanilla lock screen and then i'll look into Nan unlocking after that. Thank you so much again. I haven't gotten anywhere until that post

Roms, oh the many choices

Cyanogenmod6 is simply the best, but it is VERY buggy at best and needs and unlock, which you don't have. I like Ava v7 because of it's simplicity and stability. A lot of people like evio and baked snack though. I don't know why. I don't personally.

This happened to me when I deleted some widgets that Sense was using, but I was getting an HTC Sense force close. Not this. Are you rooted? If you don't know, download clockworkmod recovery for the slide and put it on the root of your SD card as update.zip and flash it via recovery. (you get to recovery through the bootloader, selecting recovery with the volume down key, and the power key to select it), and if it gives you a signature verification failure, then you are not rooted. If it succeeds, then flash CR_Mod OTA 1.35.xxx (forgot the exact number, it's in the dev section), and that should fix your problem.

Follow that guide to root your phone, and then flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747002
That will give you rooted stock as well as re-update your radio, since rooting downgrades your radio image. Let me know how that all goes

Try downloading the original ESPRING and put it on root of SD card the. Update it by turning on the phone using volume down and power
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Actually I revise that. It should be possible. Your phone isn't totally screwed, it boots at least. Look through the guide, I can't at the moment, and see if it actually requires your phone to be booted. I think you can do all of it through hboot and recovery, using adb and ESPRIMG.zip. I really don't remember though, read the guide, try to root your phone.

You can use ADB while in recovery mode, try doing the commands in recovery mode, using clockwork recovery. Although that may not work because it requires toggling wifi. See if you can find and try other rooting methods? There a few different ones out there. Your phone boots into the OS.
I googled around, found that account syncs were causing com.htc.bg to crash. I also noticed that your phone was booting without a sim card in it? Might be a stupid question, but you HAVE tried booting it WITH a sim card right? I also noticed that your hboot date is march 23rd, almost a year ago..?

he cant get access to the sd card. have you tried removing the card then booting up, battery pull then put it back in.

Maybe you should read a little more. The best way to get the information you are looking and to keep it retained in your head is to discover it your self.
A quick search for ADB How To might do the job.

yea im tryin to do adb i guess. i got my sd card to finally show up but wen i try to load the nandroid which yes i should kill myself for being so lazy which dates way bak to 10-01 . it jus stays frozen on the that bootscreen i had

i swear all i tryed to flash was the combo update of the radios from calkulin and all this had to happen! ughhhhhh fml!

You really need adb. I know is kinda scary I was in your shoes once .but read about it download it play with it it will help you in the long run I have done what u have done at least 3 or 4 times the answer is here in the forums. It kills SD card and usb that's why your computer wont see the sd card . Only other option is if your have a SD card reader plug it into your computer sorry I can't be more help.

I had this happen to me on a plane, almost exact same circumstances. The HTC kernel in RLS4 is not compatible with the latest radios.
You need to use adb to push one of two things to the phone:
1. One of the alternate kernels - They work with the latest radios
2. The older (octoberish) radios - Something before the december release
Steps-ish:
adb shell
-> mount /dev/sdcard
-> exit
adb push one_of_the_two_above_zips.zip /dev/sdcard/zipname.zip
Then use clockworkmod to flash that zip from the SDcard.

i finally got an old nandroid to load up so ima just go from there. im losing alotta important things but ill learn from that but i do dearly thank you all . !

Stuck on Boot Screen CM10

Just tried to installed CM10 on my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy II. It's been stuck at the boot animation for over 10 minutes. What can I do? My SD card bit the dust and I don't have the backup I'd made previously. I had the SD card's contents saved on my desktop but no idea where the file would be or what it's name would be for the backup I made previously.
I'm not really a n00b per say. Have flashed CM roms on other phones in the past with no issues. First time this has happened. I've tried doing a factory wipe/reset, wiping the cache and Dalvik. Multiple times. No change. Any help is much appreciated as this is my only phone.

UPDATE: Found my CMW backup files but no luck using them. CMW gives me a MD5 mismatch now. Any ideas? Where can I find a stock T-Mobile ROM of 4.1.2? (I think that was the version I had last)

UPDATE #2: So I am trying to do what's said over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 but getting stuck at Step 6/7. No matter what it seems Odin will not recognize my phone. Phone is in Download mode as it says to do but Odin never detects any phone plugged in. Any help?
Have latest Samsung drivers but it appears per Device Manager that it keeps getting stuck (the phone) at "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error. Tried uninstalling device, uninstalling drivers, and reinstalling drivers. Same thing every time. I got ODIN to recognize the phone once but after a few minutes it came back with FAILED.
Wish I could figure this out. More frustrated that I can't get it at least back to stock than anything now.

If you have CM10 installed on your phone and if its stuck at boot screen. Do this:
1. Download darkside-cachewipe.zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/darksidetools/files/ and copy it to your sdcard.
2. Remove the battery wait for 10 seconds
3. Insert the battery again. Holding the volume keys and power key, boot into recovery mode
4. Install zip from sdcard and run darkside-cachewipe.zip
5. Try booting the phone again.
6. This time it should boot correctly.

Well that seemed to work. I had to do a few other things but I ended up getting CM 10.1 RC5 installed and got to the homescreen. Problem I'm having now is I can't get a signal from my carrier at all. No matter where I'm at. It was connected to it at one point but now it doesn't. It's registering on the network because it says T-Mobile but no bars and no 4G indicator showing up whatsoever. Any ideas? Kind of useless at the moment with no signal.
EDIT: So from another post I have on the CM forums they said to look here in XDA for an updated radio? Any ideas? I'm not a n00b but I haven't modded a phone since my old HTC original Android phone years ago so I'm a bit rusty. My current Baseband is currently T989UVLE1.

Not sure if you can do that. Go to google playstore from your laptop and then install all the missing apps from the laptop. Its faster that way.
Me too am a flashoholic, so I create update.zip file from TitaniumBackup app and keep it for installing all my apps from the recovery mode.

It may or may not. Or if it flashes, you might not be able to mount any data partitions or cache.
Try connecting to a PC, and formatting the internal storage with Device Manager.

Last time i couldn't mount /data i just rebooted into recovery and let it sit for a day then it was fine... when I'm about to try to reboot into recovery though it says "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" will it be safe to reboot?

I hope you get your issues sorted soon. Don't know what i can contribute to help you achieve that. You seem to have more issues than one, but i like to give you one tip and that is to stay in one thread only. I seen you around now in multiple threads and its getting confusing on your actual status. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's very well ment advice

Should be safe. You won't have an OS, so it will just boot into bootloader.

Thanks for your help. You answered many of my questions and were very patient with my questions. I regret to say though that my phone is now bricked. Only bootloader will show up, recovery is a black screen and so is bootup. This wouldn't be so bad if my /data is still corrupted after everthing i tried and no computer will recognize my device. I will come back to xda when I actually know what I'm doing and when my phone isn't as valuable. Thanks again for all your help.

Not sure if this is a similar issue or not but I had some issues getting into recovery after doing Sunshine S-Off today. Had TWRP installed and working fine, but after doing the s-off exploit I would see the recovery screen for a split second before the phone would reboot normally again.
Even running fastboot boot recovery.img to run it directly wasn't working.
However, downloaded and installed CWM instead and all is fine again. Phew

Its not bricked if the screen comes on. I sincerely think we can get this thing back up and running. A phone that doesn't work isn't "valuable" so you might as well keep at it.
Delete all HTC drivers, and connect the phone to a PC. Go to Device Manager, select the option to manually select drivers, and select the generic Android MTP device.

Looks like you solved it. But did you mean you were going to replace the phone? That shouldn't ever be necessary just due to software mods you did, as long as the screen comes on. I've seen only one exception so far, where several users here helped the user exhaust every possible fix to the memory not being mountable and nothing worked, and it might have been a fried emmc chip or similar hardware fault. In your case, I still had plenty of hope, as there were still several options that were not tried.

Control Panel, under Hardware. Also, if you click the Window button in the taskbar, you can just type Device Manager in the "Search Programs and files" area.

No OS is a known issue for some folks on TWRP. It is puzzling, since it only seem to affect some people. TWRP was pretty rock solid and reliable on my past device, so its a bit disheartening to see it appears to be considerably more buggy on the M8.
So is the phone fully up and running, no issues mounting memory?

You're very welcome. Not sure how much I actually helped, as it sounds like you pretty much figured it out yourself. So nice job!
