need hepl bad - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a rooted phone, i wanted to switch roms,
for some reason i pulled my sd card and formatted it (fat32)
and put zip for new rom on it and a cleaning tool
put it in phone and went to h boot and wipped phone and flashed rom, NO go.
then put pc36img zip on sd card and su.23.6.3 ECT zip file.
then in h boot flashed the su file still wont boot at all.
i think i screwed up deleting all files off my memory card.
phone only goes to h boot how do i fix it ?
yea i'm a noob.

when i try to flash pc36img i get E can't find update script.

Try going into the development section and downloading caulkins combo pc36img file. Place it on the root of your SD card, and restart your Evo. Make sure to delete the file you have on there first so you know which is what. You are trying to update your radios correct? Of your trying to flash a ROM, select recovery from the menu, go to choose zip from SD card, and flash away. Make sure to do a complete wipe if its a fresh install. Wipe user data, cache and dalvik. Depending on your recovery version, falcon cache might be in the advanced folder. Good luck and enjoy. Lemme know if everything works for ya.

thanks for replying,
i did exactly what you said and when i chose reboot after flashing that file the phone just went black

and it won't power back on

Don't reboot the phone after flashing the zip. To get back into the bootloader hold the volume down button while pressing power. Flash the zip & when it asks to reboot press volume down for no. From there select recovery. You may have to select bootloader again. If you do go ahead and do it but don't update again. Instead wait a sec then boot into recovery. From there you should be able to flash. You may have to download a pc36img w a recovery attached to it if you deleted everything, but Im not sure. Try the first way. If that doesn't work, flash the recovery as the zip, download a stock rooted rom via USB mount and update your radios that way. Then go to the market and get rom manager. You can flash rom's from the app
Using clockwork mod. Keep digging thru the threads if all else fails. Lemme know what happens and ill try and find the zips you need to at least get it going. Don't let this discourage you tho. Where's a will, there's always a way to fix it. Ya just gotta keep reading. The guys on this site are awesome. They've covered pretty much every scenario you could think of.

when hboot runs it still says pc36img no image

i did everything you stated to a T
and after flashing rom, when i reboot phone boots right back to H boot

went through everything again and went back to warm 2.2 rom and now it's working.
a big thanks to you guys for helping me get my phone going again

It could have just been a bad download. Next time you download a rom, see if you can check the md5 to make sure its a complete file.I'm not sure if I helped at all, but I'm sure glad you got it goin. Happy flashing.

i believe it was a bad file cus it was only half the size of normal roms.

reboot into recovery question

So im following a way to put a rom onto my phone, let me post the steps and go from there
1. The first step is to download Modaco’s Custom ROM from here and save it on your desktop. done
2. Once done, download ROM Manager from Market on your phone. done
3. Once the ROM Manager is installed, launch app and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. done
4. Now after flashing ClockworkMod Recovery, connect your phone to the computer. done
5. Once your phone is connected, mount SD card and copy the earlier downloaded ROM file to SD card root. done
now this is where im having an issue.... i know where it says to reboot into recovery, but when i do this, i get a black screen with a pic of my phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it.... what am i doing wrong?
6. After this launch ROM Manager again and tap on Reboot into Recovery.
7. Once you are in recovery, scroll down to Apply Zip from SD card and select.
8. Now wait for the installation to finish. The ROM size is 257 MB, so you can well imagine the time it will consume.
9. Once the installation is finished, reboot your phone.
This means ClockworkMod recovery Did not stick, sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it to stick, so go back into Rom Manager and Press "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" Again, then reboot into recovery, if you still see the black screen with the trangle and ! (this is stock recovery) , just pull the battery and repeat the steps of Flashing CWM recovery again untill it sticks, It took mine three times before it would stick. Also you must make sure you have S-off and root.
well from all the reading i did, using the visionary+ would be enough of a root... granted my s-off isnt there, its still saying s-on.... and on another post made, i tried to follow the instructions, but i cant seem to change this...
suggestions on how?
The other day I gave you a link to a thread on how to properly get S-off and root on your phone, you choose not to use that link, instead you used Visionary, so I am going to assume that you do not have ABD set up on your home computer, so now here is another link to a new thread on how to get temp-root with Visionary, which is what you have now, then perm-root S-off with Gfree, follow the instructions in this new link from start to finish and you should have S-off when its all done. HERE IS THE LINK. I suggest you do a lot more reading before proceeding any further because it seems to me you really don't understand what you are doing and Mod'ing your phone and making a mistake can have the potential to BRICK your phone. Having root and S-off are two different things and you need S-off in order to flash custom Roms and recovery.
I still recommend getting S-off and root using the method HERE, its the safest way to root and get S-off, this is the link I gave you the other day to the XDA Wiki.
im using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160
and trying to follow it... but for some reason, when i do this step
$ su
# cp /sdcard/root_files/perm_root /data/local/perm_root
i get a msg that says cp:cannot create '/local/perm_root': no such file or directory
yet im following the steps exactly
Did you make sure to unzip the root_files.zip before placing all the files on the root of your sd card, do not just place the root_files.zip on your sd card it must be unzipped first.
Also make sure you put a space between perm_root and /data
I put a red * where the space needs to be.
From what you typed below it looks like you didn't.

well i got everything to work there just before you posted this, and i proceeded to install this rom found here
hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-g2-g2-modaco-com/322825/with-sense-10-feb-r3-htc-vision-g2-z-modaco-custom-rom-with-online-kitchen/
followed the steps to make it work, got into recovery, let it install via the steps listed above
now the phone is restarting over and over again.... and it keeps going to the htc quietly brilliant logo, then has the modaco logo under it... but it keeps going over and over....
ideas?
You are in a boot loop, did you wipe data prior to flashing the new ROM? The rom you downloaded might be a corupt download, try to redownload it again and flash it again. Also, just curious why MODACO rom there are so many other better choices available, IMHO.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
well i just saw that it was one with a sense rom, so i thought i would try it out.... and this rom said no need to wipe data... thats part of why i chose it...
also how do i re download it and get it on my sd card? when i cant connect to the computer now
also what is a good solid sense rom, that i dont have to delete everything off my phone first, and ill gladly try that out... remember im new to this... so all the info you give me now is totally uncharted areas,
so lmk
Cheers
I would use Virtuous I think its the best sense rom out, you should always do a full data wipe when changing roms, when updating the same rom its not really needed, as far as getting it onto your sd card, I would just pull it out of the phone and put it into a card reader on my computer and then install the new files that way then place it back into your phone .
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
ok and do you have a quick link i can trouble you for the virtuous rom?
and how do i back up whats on my phone now, i dont want to loose anything thats on there.....and since im stuck in this boot loop, im stuck for a way to back it up
Ok to make a back up from where you are stuck at, pull the battery then put it back in hold volume down then press power, this boots it into bootloader, use the volume button and scroll down to recovery and select it by pressing the power button, it should boot into CWM recovery, then press backup and restore, then select backup and it should back up your current rom, to do this in the future just use rom manager to make your back ups, here's the link to Virtuous http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
but wouldnt that copy my current rom thats stuck in a boot loop?
Sorry you are right , so it looks like there would be nothing for you to back up. Prior to flashing MODACO you should have made a copy of your stock rom w/root but its to late for that now, so theres nothing to do now but flash a new rom.
Remember when you flash a new rom it could take a few minutes to boot the first time so give it a few minutes.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Making the nandroid backup wouldn't hurt though. If there is stuff you really need, you can transfer the backup to a computer and then extract the contents of the data and system images with an unyaffs tool. Then you can restore at least some things manually once you have your new ROM up and running (since you'll then have the APKs and their respective data directories).
Kind of a pain and may not work depending on what you want, but if there is stuff you really need, better to at least have the opportunity to recover than not.
so I installed the virtuous Rom and now I cant use the market... is there a fix for this?

Try fixing permissions, boot into recovery, select advance, select fix permissions, reboot. If that doesnt help, use titanium to wipe the data from the market app and see if that helps.
how do I do the titanium backup part? I tried the recovery part, didn't work.....

[Q] how do i flash my evo to try a new rom?

im new to all of this so im not sure how to do everything yet i have kings rom now i dont know how to try a new one i hear i have to flah and move file to root of sd card and im not sure exactly what that means.. is it just saving the zip to the sd? as would i have to erase the old rom file on the zip before trying a new one or can i leave it on there?

Click to expand...

You can leave the old rom file on there as long as its not named PC36IMG.zip
Well you must be rooted right??
And you must have a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod or Amon Ra right??
Well if you do than you download one of the roms off here. It will say somethin like "myn-rls4blahblahblah.zip.
Do not extract the zip.
If you download on pc, transfer it to the root of your sdcard (not in any folders)
Then shut your phone off..then hold volume down and power until your phone comes up to a white screen. You will see RECOVERY. Use volume down to go down and select recovery by pressing the power button.
Now youll be in recovery. Depending on the recovery you have it will be different, but you have to wipe all data, cache, and dalvik cache. Proly twice.
Then go back to main recovery screen and select install .zip from sdcard. Use volume down to find your rom file and select install. Let it do its thing then restart your phone. Done
If your already rooted you should dwnload the app titanium backup, its free and theres a paid ver. Too...your choice. Select backup all apps and settings. Then restoring your apps and settings are basically automated. Do this before you install your new rom.
Hope this helps
Edit-your rooted already, cause u have kings rom. Oops. oh and be prepared to be flamed cause u posted a question in the Android Development section. It shoulb be in the Q&A section. I dont trip, but some people do. Just a heads up

Ditto, and use punctuation. I don't read noob-speak.
Im still not able to get it im doing exactly as you put but it wont work it says in the recovery screen or whatever you wanna call it that it was installed and wen i reboot it still has my kings rom installed im not sure if im saving it wrong or what but when I go to the install frm zip option its on tha screen and not in a folder think u might know what im doin wrong?
Ok, again, PLEASE use punctuation. Its hard enough to read gibberish with punctuation, and without it, it's damn near impossible.
What EXACT steps are you doing, and what EXACT error are your getting? Did you put the rom's zip on the sd card? Where did you put it? Did you make a nandroid backup? Did you wipe cache, data, and dalvik? Did you to to "install zip from sd card"? Did you find that zip file? Did it flash?
Ok well what im doing is I will download the rom it saves in a folder called downloads. So after I seen that I used my computer to download it so it wouldn't be in a folder. I will turn my phone off then hold the vol. Key down while holding the power button down it then goes to the boot screen I think its called, then I wipe everything as im supposed to at leaetvtwice then go to install zip from sd. The file isn't in a folder its just on the first screen at the bottom I click that one and install. It says it was installed and goes back to the home screen wherebit has the options to reboot or wipe data andvso on so I reboot and there it is kings rom is still installed. Im not sure if its not downloaded correctly tovl the right spot or what. How can I download it and have it saved correctly using just my phone? Is there a wway i can move files or order them from my phone?

dude you actually need to select the .zip from the menu to flash it. flahsing copies over the files from your sdcard onto the phone itself. so flash and it will replace your rom.
btw the white screen is called hboot. not boot.
Out of all of this, I wasn't sure if you have a custom recovery installed. Dl rom manager form the market and 'flash alternate recovery' so youll have amon-ra's recovery installed. Then I use quick boot (in the market) to reboot into recovery. It has a lot of options to backup, wipe, flash, etc
We're comin from a pure power source.

hey so you need to actually flash the file. you're just booting into recovery and leaving it on your sdcard. after you wipe, select flash zip from sdcard on the main menu, find your zip, and SELECT IT. then scroll to yes, and flash. you should see some messages go by, ending in conformation that it worked. now reboot. it should take a while the first time, and you should end up in the new rom.
second of all, i'd switch to amon-ra recovery if i were you. his thread is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
And make sure to do a nandroid backup first.

You should switch to Amon Ra. I REALLY need to put a link to it in my signature, but get the PC36IMG.zip file of Amon Ra in the development section, put it on your SD Card and reboot with Vol dwn\Pwer. When it comes up, it'll scan and ask if you want to update. Hit pwr up for yes, then it will flash Amon Ra.
Then the phone will reboot, and do that scan again, this time say no. and you will get to recovery.
Go to Wipe, then hit wipe All User Data/Factory Reset.
Then wipe each sub category EXCEPT the one that says SD Card. Just don't wipe that one, or it will erase your card.
When you've done that, flash your ROM. Sadly, the backups you did with CWM are useless now, but you shouldn't have this problem again.
Also, if you are using ROM Manager, don't.
thanks! i dont think my evo is on disk driver so how will i get this on to my phone?

If you've done a complete wipe, it is beneficial at times that you reformat your card and update your radios prior to flashing Synergy. Doing those two things often results in a successful flash of that particular rom. If you decide to reformat your SD card, please be sure to transfer the contents of it to your computer or external disk drive first.

How long are you waiting at the White EVO screen?
posting & replying from my EVO 4G
ok when i try to download the zip file my pc just show a white page?
i wait like a few hours i went to sleep
Look in DougJamal's signature. He has a link directly to the file
Also, what browser are you using?
how do i put the file on my sdc?
Sorry, I got away from my computer.
If you have a card reader, just take the card out of your phone and use the card reader, or if you have a different phone you can put it in for a few mins to get the file.
You DO have recovery now, right?? CWM??
Does CWM have usb-toggle so you can connect to you computer in recovery?
how do i put it on my sdc?
yes it do have that, i think i have recovey , when i push recover it ask me t pick one , i do n the phone just reboot to the evo white screen.( im lose) ... thats another thing when i try to get the file i get a blank page?????/
i think i got it , i just had to flash a rom? i hope i got it

pc36img problems

I have been using the very stable pc36img spring lovers version. I flashed a bunch of roms yesterday like I usually do. The last one was the miui rom from yesterday. It didn't work. tried to do a nandroid update but could not. Then I used the pc36img that has worked well for a while but everything updated except the system. it said failure-UZ. luckily later I was able to instal a hybrid rom with MANY bugs. I no longer can upload my contacts. If you have an idea or can point me in the direction of a pc36img that may solve this I would greatly appreciate it. I know I should have moved my backups to the sd card but I messed up here. Please help. Thanks
Honestly you should stop flashing roms as PC36IMG because you'll forget what they are eventually. Download the rom you want, place it on your sd card, then do a full wipe, and flash it in recovery, boot up, and you should be fine.
That is what I do. but after flashing yesterday's miui rom from the zip file my system wouldn't let me do a nandroid backup. In desparation I used my pc36img update and now a I am screwed

Take it to Sprint, tell them it just broke. They will happily load stock GB, then you can start over.

I couldn't wait. I tried it and it again said Fail-UZ when updating the system. it also said image unzipping fail. Any other ideas?
The only PC36IMG's you should ever flash, really is recovery and RUU. Everything else you should do in recovery with a flashable zip.

ok this is all i can think of:
1 - get the original pc36img.zip file and put it in your sd
2 - delete the amon ra pc36img.zip that you have
3 - go into bootloader and when asked to update hit yes
4 - when asked to reboot hit yes
5 - if your phone reboots fine (i will give it a pretty good amount of time) download rom manager
6 - in rom manager flash Clock Work Mod (CWM)
7 - Then make a back up (optional).
8 - scroll down in Rom manager and flash alternate recovery (this will give you amon ra w/o having to put the pc36img.zip into your sd card.
9 - do what you wanted to do at first.

You guys are talking about PC36IMG.zip as if its a ROM that is being flashed. Sprint Lovers, if I am not mistaken, is a ROM that should be flashed via recovery like all ROMs should be. You should not be flashing PC36IMG.zip files through Bootloader unless you are updating radios, RUU back to stock, splash screen updates, etc. It sounds like you are spending a lot of time flashing things via bootloader and that is what got you in this mess to begin with. Can you get into recovery? If so then download any ROM, enter recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache/data, flash ROM, and then quit using the bootloader before you permanently screw up your phone. This problem should be able to be fixed without the use of a PC36IMG.zip file. Because you've gotten flash happy in your bootloader and as of right now you can't tell us exactly what you've flashed.
If you cant get into recovery then just download Amon Ra v2.3, flash it, and then do the steps I mentioned above. It's not difficult. Just stop getting flash happy with your bootloader.
There is a version of Sprint lovers that can be flashed thru bootloader
And for jj that might just mean the pc36img is corrupted you can download a new one but I say just nice on and use recovery instead of bootloader

"Warranty's" can be restored
pc36img probs
hmmm? I have tried everything as described above. maybe my sprint lovers pc36img has been corrupted. but I really don't think so bc I saved it in many different sdcards and in my computer. Should I try another .zip? can anyone point me to other pc36img files that may help. I must say that I do not flash anything by pc36img, but after I flashed hybrid I couldn't do anything. In desperation I tried my sprint lovers pc36img assuming I could go back. I had to many backups saved and it told me that I didn't have enough space when I tried to do a nandroid backup. I guess the take home message is to save nandroid backups to the sd card also. unfortunately mine is lost.

[Q] Evo Bricked, need help!

I recently flashed a Rom and decided to restore the backup which had a different Rom a couple of days ago and ever since then whenever i turn on my phone it gets stuck on the "HTC Evo 4G" screen and stays like that
How can i reverse this and get my phone working again without sending it in?
Did you wipe, factory reset/data/system/boot/cache/dalvik? if your recovery doesn't have all of these options you are not using amon ra and i recommend you switch if you wiped all those b4 flashing the backup let us know and we can go from there if not try that first

How can i reverse this and get my phone working again without sending it in?

To fix this, go into recovery and try to redo the backup. If the problem persists, then load a different backup.

Can you boot into recovery?
I only had the one back up and nothing changed, i hooked my sd card up to the computer and put a new rom on there and tried uploading it via recovery but nothing happened. i know the rom folder is supposed to be a zip but it didn't download as one, any suggestions?
Make sure u wipe b4 u restore your backups or flash any roms or you will bootloop or stick at white screen

I did last night, went through everything and tried uploading the new rom which failed, tried restoring and i was still at square one
Turn of your phone, reboot while holding down volume down button then choose recovery. I'm pretty sure your not bricked.
Are you using clock work mod recovery? Change to amon RA.. you can find a link in the thread below
Once you get into recovery you can wipe everything and you'll be good to go

If the above doesn't work boot and ruu directly from HBoot. I don't have a link handy but in the development thread there are a few.
Sounds like a simple not wiping issue. The rom does have to be in zip format, don't know why it would download any other way. Download the rom you want - in zip format of course - put it on your SD card, boot into recovery and wipe as mentioned earlier, then flash.
I have heard something about the browser on Macs automatically unzipping files. If that's the case then change your browser's settings or use a different one.
If you can get into recovery, you're definitely not bricked.

Yeah i'm using Clockwork mod recovery, how do i change to amon ra?
You look for the thread in dev and follow the directions. Its easy
Go TrevE !!!
I wiped everything, the dalvik cache, did the factory reset and even cleared storage just in case but nothing happened. My computer downloads files in WinRar's and it didn't come out as zip just numerous folders with files and i tried another computer and it comes out as just multiple folders with files but i haven't seen the root zip.
How do i make an Amon Ra?

When you download the ROM, make sure that you're choosing to "save file" not "download and open with...".
The file that gets saved to your computer will be a .zip file. Transfer that to your sd card. Then choose to install that via your recovery. It will take a minute or two. When it finishes choose to reboot to system. Give the phone a few minutes to boot (can take up to 5 minutes)
