Thanks for the help, I stated in the title i cant into recovery mode, when i select it from the hboot menu phone resets and goes into boot loop.
I flashed pc36img but no go.
The only way I can seem to connect to pc, is via HBOOT USB.
Don't wanna go back to the TP2 =(
if you can get to hboot, you should be able to run one of the ruu's to bring the phone back, as well as there are several articles on fixing boot loops. Try searching through the forums, almost no loop is permanent, just need to find a fix that works for you
Can you access your sdcard? If so, find a download link to the "Part-two_evo-root_Amon_RA" file (should be in the "root 2.2 instructions thread". Extract the file onto your desktop and drag the files from it onto your sd card (leave all the contents in their zipped format). Select yes to the overwrite. Go into Hboot, and install the pc36img file from your zd card. Select no to reboot, go into recovery (pull the battery if it goes back to hboot, if it still doesnt work download the Evo Recovery files, pm me if you need a link). In Amon's recovery menu select install zip from sd, select the 2.2 root file, and let it install the file, then reboot.
i am having similar issues with my evo. it won't recover just get ! i'm not really sure what i did wront, i know i downloaded the laster update into my rooted evo and it alll went downhill from there. i extacted the update into the phone and now i can't get out of the loop. i can get my computer to regognize the phone, but i can't access the sdcard. truthfullt i had no business doing this, since i don't have much experience rooting or anything. if anyone could help that would be great. thanks

Hello, i have a rooted evo running 2.2 i flashed a new rom called fresh with worked great with not problems at all, then i flashed a new theme called manup456 wich also worked flawlessly, i then tried another theme called riptide which looked like it overlapped the manup456 and looked kind of neat. but i tried to go back to just the manup456 and my phone just keeps trying to reboot (HTC quietly brillian) over and over again. can't get into hboot. Did I brick my phone? Please help!
Thanks in advance
Hey,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this issue I have. I have a rooted Evo, with my latest ROM being Fresh Evo 4.0.0.4 Beta by flipzmode. I was having some issues with the rom, so I was attempting to reflash the rom, however its beta 3 (one update older) version, first. I went through ROM Manager and did a complete backup, then chose install from SD Card and checked the boxes for Wipe Dalvik cache and the other check for wipe cache / data (i forget exactly what it says). ROM manager took over from there, rebooting into recovery and installing the rom, atleast as i thought it as doing. Once it was said and done, I now am at my problem area. It will not boot past the white htc EVO 4G screen. I've given it anywhere from 20-40 minutes to load. I've tried pulling the battery as well. I've even attempted to get into recovery by going into my hboot bootloader. However there, i have ANOTHER problem...I can't pick any of the available options. Its as if my volume buttons just don't work. When I have my SD card loaded and I go into hboot, it does some kinda search which yields five results of No Image Found! it then returns to the main menu where again, I can't scroll up or down the list. It says s-off so I assume that means I'm still rooted. I'm not an expert by any means, and overall I'd say I'm a noob to this stuff, but I am trying to figure it all out. If anyone can help me out with what to do to get my phone running again, I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!
Hmmmm, that's odd. You can try putting a PC36IMG of the RUU on the root of your SD card. If you used unrevoked, you'll stay s-off, so all you'll need to do is reflash recovery to flash a rom or restore from a backup. However, you need to use your volume buttons to agree to the flash in the bootloader. In the odd case that it just won't navigate the menu, but the volume buttons are fine, it may still receive the confirmation from the button that you want to flash the PC36IMG.
If that's the case , download this file: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/sto...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip and rename it to PC36IMG, don't add a zip to the end because it's already there. Put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader, when it asks you to update, *try* to agree with the volume up button. If it works, hopefully that'll fix your problem.
It's not the greatest fix, and the chance of it working isn't all that high, but it's all I've got.
Oh, and obviously your volume buttons are fine if you can get into the bootloader, unless a button is stuck.

And don't use ROM Manager.....
Thanks plainjane,
Just a couple more quick details before I try to do what you said, I'm not sure which root method was used for me. My cousin did it for me and with my phone mia, I have no way to find out. Does that effect anything? Also, i'm pretty sure i've used ClockWorkMod recovery, as i remember flashing it through ROM manager a few days ago. I've realized that the volume buttons do work, but only when to accept the update for the pc36img..I read about that before so I tried putting one that I believe was for ClockWorkMod recovery on my sd card, but I wasnt sure if that was the right pc36img file i need. So I can replace that with the one you have linked me with. Will running that cause any problems with the addtional details? I just don't want to end up permanently bricking my phone, so I'd rather cover all my bases.
Thanks again!
I would do 2 things: 1 flash a new recovery, specifically amon_RA and then I would flash a rooted ODEXED stock rom.
Click on the word "amon_RA" above and download the PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Make sure there is NO OTHER FILE with that same name on the root of your card. Turn off your device and then boot it to the bootloader screen. After a pause, the file should be autodetected and you should be prompted to install. follow the easy instructions to install. Afterwards, you should be able to go into recovery and flash a rom. Download the rooted stock rom by clicking on "rooted ODEXED stock rom" above. Afterwards, put it on your SD card and flash it from recovery. Once you've successfully flashed a rom and if you're set on re-using ClockWorkMod recovery, you can always download the ROM Manager app and have it install ClockWorkMod recovery for you, but I recommend you stay with amon_RA.

Thank you, thank you, thank you plainjane! I decided to just go for it and try your method, it took care of my phone not being able to boot-up. I'm now at what seems like a stock rom.

Thanks for your suggestion dougjamal, I actually attempted your method first, but I still wasn't able to select the recovery option from the hboot bootloader main screen after running the PC36IMG, so I couldnt flash the rom.
So, I still have a couple of the same problems. I still can't choose the recovery option from the bootloader menu, I've tried multiple times to use a PC36IMG for ClockWorkMod recovery and Amon_ra. Also, while using the actual phone, my power button seems to not work. It doesnt turn of the screen, nor does longpressing it allow me to shut off the phone. If it helps to diagnose the problem, since i'm pretty sure up until today my power button still worked, whenever I pull my battery and put it back in, the phone boots automatically without me pressing the power button. Anyone have any suggestions?
Otherwise, is there anyway for me to just go back to complete stock again and attempt rooting the phone again, and starting completely from scratch?
Thanks again for everyone's help!
Boot into the bootloader screen and see if you're still rooted (S-OFF). If it displays S-ON then you will not be able to make changes to your device.

Yes, it still says S-OFF. I don't understand why I can't scroll through the menu nor turn off my screen though. Even when it times out, I can't turn the display back on. I have to plug in a charger.
I've tried to root my phone, it didn't work, so I want to go back to my 2.2 stock, can anyone describe a quite detailed guide for me? I'd love you forever. =D

explain a bit more what is with your phone,what you did in what state is,rooted or not s-off or not and so on
If you tried rooting your phone through alpharevX but were unable to (that is your phone is not rooted) and now when you try to turn it on it goes into a sort of blocked state showing a phone with a triangle next to it or you want for whatever reason to get your phone back to 'brand new' state (factory settings)..... (beware this will only work if you haven't flashed your phone with some other ROM) all you need to do is turn it back off, then push the volume-down button and the power button (volume button first, then keeping the first still pushed the other)... now go to clear storage (use volume buttons up and down to navigate and the power button to confirm) so push the power button then the volume up button that's it....
Mind you if you have an PC49IMG.zip file on your sd card you are gonna have to delete it before doing this.
Thanks for the replies, but I've managed to instal Cyanogenmod so I don't longer need to go back to FroYo. =)

Lol, own.
Any idea if floating around there is a base ROM for the HTC Wildfire so as to restore to its out-of-box system ROM.
Ideally something I can use from ROM Manager.
I'm asking because twice I've used the stock RUU restore prog and it has un-rooted my HTC Wildfire

They are untouched stock ROM's, offered as a flashable ZIP.
Problem
I have nearly the exact same situation, except my phone(when turned on) gets stuck at the boot screen(telstra next g) i think i will use the stock 2.2 RUU to get back to the stock un-rooted ROM
I gained S-OFF with alpharevX beta and used gingerbreak to get root. I tried to get into clockwork mod, after using root toolbox to install it, to install cyanogen mod 7 but it would not load. HTC Wildfire, 2.2.1 Froyo,
Did you perform a full wipe before flashing the Cyanogenmod ROM file? Not doing so leads to bootloops, as you have described.
I did not even get to flash cyanogen mod. I cannot get into recovery. I chOose recovery but it goes to fast boot please help
I tried to use the stock RUU for 2.2 but it would not find my device, i tried twice. Once while it was stuck at the boot logo and the second time at the fastboot menu. Please help! I tried a clear data (htc wildfires take on hard reset) and it is still just stuck on the logo
i found a fix! i went into fasboot and ran the RUU on another computer with HTC Sync installed and it worked perfectly! i have now got clockworkmod installed and working excellent!
Hi All
Firstly I am sorry if the answer to this is buried somewhere in this forum, but I have honestly spent about 4 hours ready through threads trying to find a solution to my problem and have not got anywhere.
I originally 'rooted' my phone with Unrevoked. I ran Calkulin's rom for ages (what a great rom builder!). I then had a mysterious problem with my phone whereby all incoming calls went to voicemail. It required visiting a Sprint store, and unfortunately flashing back to stock.
At the store, my phone was upgraded to Sprint 2.3.3. Now my phone is working, I would now like to go back to custom roms.
When I boot in to recovery my phone shows S-OFF and HBOOT 2.16.0001
I have tried to downgrade my phone to an older version of the Sprint rom, but cannot get it to install (I just get the red exclamation mark icon). Forcing the rom install in the recovery menu (the Sprint recovery menu with the blue menu options) doesn't work either.
I have also tried the "recovery-windows.bat" tool, that lets you reboot into recovery mode, but it won't recognize my phone is connected, and crashes, and no reboot
The key is that I have S-OFF, so I should be able to downgrade... and once I find out how to, I know how to take it from there, but I can't find a way to downgrade that works!
Any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks
Loz
Download the amon ra recovery zip, rename to pc36img.zip, place on root of sd card. When in hboot it should read the file and ask to install it. After that you should be able to get into recovery from hboot.

Download the pc36img of amon_ra, toss it on your sdcard, and reboot into the bootloader. It should install the recovery and let you get back to flashing Roms. I did almost the exact same thing, have s-off with 2.16 and have no problems flashing roms after I got a recovery installed.

Thanks guys, successfully flashed back to a REAL rom! Annoyed I couldn't find this simple solution! Soooooo many hours reading through threads.
Hi,
I've got a HTC Wildfire S, rooted and S-OFF.
But it's stuck in bootloop, I messed with the system/apps folder...
So now it's pretty much messed up.
Didn't install ROM-manager, I know it was kinda stupid.
How can I reïnstall a custom ROM?
Can anyone help me?
Go into recovery and flash from there, or if you backed-up then restore the rom. If you don't have any roms then you can also mount your sd card from CWM recovery. If you don't have any custom recovery then you'll have to flash it through fastboot. I would tell you the process but I'm really busy right now, but I'm sure someone will explain it to you.
Hi, thanks anyway... hopefully some other kind guy can help me
I don't have any custom recovery, only a ROM which I want to flash on to the device...

Don't install custom ROM's from Rom Manager's Download list. None of them are for Wildfire S.
Install CWM Recovery either through Hboot as a PG76IMG.zip or using Eoghan2t7's Windoze tool.
From there you should make a backup of your working ROM before trying any new ones in case of times like this...
Hi,
yes if I install the CWM recovery... can I then install my ROM? It's just a slightly modified Wildfire S Stock Rom...
And, I'm sorry to ask... But how do you install CWM through the boot menu?

Download that and connect your WFS to your PC, follow the steps which are quite easy. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power button, choose recovery by the volume buttons and power button), then choose install zip from SD and you can install the zip file (the rom) by selecting that file.
Let me know if this works
I have the same problem when using OC ROMs.
What am I doing wrong?
Now it's loading for ages or simply stuck in the bootscreen.
I too have the same problem when using OC ROMs. Why?
Hi, thanks for the help!
But I'm not quiet through yet... so I downloaded the WFS Manager, then I connected up my phone to the pc.
It was switched on, and just doing the bootloop again, showing the "Quietly Brilliant" sign over and over again.
And then I ran the tool, and it said "Please connect up your device" after I ticked on the first option ("Root And Install Recovery").
I guess this is because the WFS was bootlooping, and so the pc didn't recognise it. I also tried with the HBOOT menu on, but still the pc didn't recognise my phone. Is there anything I did wrong?
My pc (Windows 7 Ultimate x64), showed a popup saying there couldn't be found any driver for "Android 1.0". However it did work before the bootloo
If you have a card reader, or a phone that can take your SD card, then just remove your SD card, place it in an SD card reader or a device which can take your SD card, plug that device into your PC, place the ROM you want to flash onto the SD card, place your SD card back into your Wildfire, boot into recovery and flash the ROM from there.
I had a similar situation where I had an invalid xxxxIMG.zip file on the root of my SD card and a ROM that kept rebooting my device. Naturally, I started panicking, but when I got myself together, I just realized I could remove my SD card and then go into recovery, then reinsert my card and flash a working ROM.
Hope this works for you
Hi, thanks for the help. But I don't think you fully understand my problem.
So I have a stock ROM, rooted. And I messed with the system/app folder.
Now it's stuck into bootloop.
What does recovery mean? is it the menu entry in the HBOOT menu?
Because if I go to "recovery" and click it, after a few seconds I get a phone icon with a red triangle above it.
I tried putting the PG76IMG.zip file on the root of my SD card, but then in the HBOOT Menu, I get the message:
"CID incorrect !
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
What do I have to do?
find the cwm recovery thread and download the PG76IMG.zip then copy it to your sdcard then reboot to hboot. when it asks you if you want to flash recovry press volume up. then when finish instead of rebooting take out your battery. wait for 25 secs reinsert it then boot to hboot then choose recovery see new ui instead of the old one.

Hi, when I do what you say I get the error:
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
This is my course of actions:
I download the PG76IMG.zip file from the CWM recovery thread.
I place it in the root of my SD-card.
I start my phone pressing the volume-down button.
It automatically finds the .zip file and tries to update, but then I get the error.
What should I do?
I got what you were trying to say, I just didn't realize you had no recovery installed. I had the same error message pop up when I tried to install the recovery. I think it had something to do with the hboot being newer than something, something, blah, blah, bliddity-blah.
Anywho, I think I had the recovery installed along with the root using SuperTool.exe, but that won't work for you, since you obviously can't boot up, so you can't connect to the PC. All I can remember is I had some sort of app on my PC that allowed me to push the CWM Recovery without going through all that hboot stuff, since the S-ON wouldn't let me install PG76IMG.zip. Again, this is useless to you
My best advice is to try another PG76IMG.zip file and just keep trying until you find one that'll work, which you'll place onto your SD card from another device, of course.
EDIT: Link to where I got CWM Recovery from.
In this post there's an auto-installer that I used to flash it onto my device.
The reason you are having bootloop problems with OC roms is because your phone doesn't support OC. Don't worry though it's not just you, even my phone doesn't support OC. The best ROM to go with right now is Alquez's CM7, but I'm sure other developers will make non-OC roms.
Hi, THANKS!
I used the auto installer, and now I have the CWM recovery!
Can someone tell me now which options I should use to install the new ROM?
Maybe an advice of which ROM would be the best one?
I'd like something fast and stable, it would be handy to have one which doesn't have any stock apps installed with it...
I'd go with Jikantaru's ROM, if I wanted a more Sense-ish experience (which I, personally, don't). It does away with the bloatware, but it keeps Sense UI. I couldn't use this one, since my SD card is only 2 gigs and I can't partition it correctly :\
Therefore, my pick would be Cyanogenmod 7, which gives you a pure Android experience (no trace of HTC's bloatware, spyware or crapware). It takes away everything you don't need or most likely don't use and keeps it all clean and speedy, since there's no Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz or any other company-created user interface, leaving you to run everything right on top of the Android system. However, I've had some trouble with this one. First I had no mobile data connection or WiFi, and when I finally fixed that problem, I noticed I had no phone app -.-
So, now I'm using m1ndh4x8r's ROM, and I'm pleased enough with it. It lets me overclock and stuff, though I fear I might have effed something up while reverting to it from my non-fully-working CM7 flash, and now I can't install most apps :\
Now I'm pretty much waiting for a fully-operational CM7 build to come out so I can finally use my phone's full potential.
white htc screen
Hey hey =)
I installed the cm7 by alquez (already tried the RC and the nightly build) and I'm stuck at a white boot screen - I don't know if this is the boot loop error - I only see the green HTC sign with white background
Yesterday, I unlocked the phone, rooted it and today, I installed the CWM and from there, resetted the phone, data, and installed the zip.
Now, the white screen doesnt go away, even after 15min or so
Is there a thing i'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

Wipe all data and cache including dalvik from within clockwork mod
ok, shall I also format boot?
because I read it's pretty nasty deleting it if you don't install a new one, is that right? ^^
Dunno what has changed but thank you for your tip, it worked now!! =)
PS: didnt format boot ;-)
