Alright i had to get a new Dinc 2 because my lights for the bottom control buttons quit working. So i am trying to root again but i have to downgrade from android 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 with the file PG32IMG.zip. So i do that and now everytime i try to get into my recover after i push everything to my phone i get into the hboot and it does that scan thing it does, and then it just keeps trying to apply that PG32IMG file. And if i try to delete the file after i'm downgraded i can boot into hboot everything works fine but when i select recover it acts like it wants to go into it and then i get the screen with the phone and the exclamation point which im guessing means bricked. but i can reboot my phone and it works just phone. Is there anything i can do??
Did you use revolutionary exploit to root. It sounds as if you don't have a custom recovery installed.
If you are rooted then install Tom manager from market and flash recovery or download 4ext updater and install 4ext recovery. Then try to boot into recovery.

As far as the yellow triangle that is the stock recovery built into the Android operating system. You aren't bricked.

well last night i had gained s-off and couldnt get into recovery so i got back to s-on and now today i'm trying to run revolutionary and it keeps failing.....should i just give up?

No. Try to redo the ruu. Then root using revolution (well try to). Then download rom manager and check you recovery. When ever I ruu I will always reflash recovery through rom manager. Although I have switched to 4ext recovery.

Firstly, I'd like to apologize if this info is already somewhere on this forum or the web but I've searched endlessly since yesterday trying to find an answer to this.
The gist:
- Rooted evo using unrevoked3
- Stock info: hboot .97; radio 2.15.00.09.01; kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
build 3.29.651.5; pri version 1.77_003; prl 60670
- Flashed CM6.1.1 rom > tried to flash to a myn rom and had issues flashing going through ROM manager or through bootloader, screen kept freezing on white screen
- Somehow it came to be that the phone would endlessly loop on the bootloader screen and I couldn't get the CM6 rom to load either
- Ended up using a RUU (Supersonic_WWE3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.4044signed)
- Now the hboot is .93 and bootloader shows S-OFF but I dont have root access for some reason. I've tried doing the unrevoked3 process but even after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and that whole process the unrevoked3 program would not recognize my phone being connected to the computer and in device manager it showed my phone as a portable storage device instead of under android phone like the first time around
I have no idea what to do to regain root so I can flash roms on it again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Try reloading factory settings then go through root process.
Then flash a ROM using ROM manager (its what I use).
Or just load into bootloader and install .zip from there. Another easy way to flash new ROM.

Can You get into Recovery? If so do a Restore of the CM6, then do a factory reset. Then Flash Myns

Thanks, I tried that but it didn't work It didn't change anything or allow me to go through the unrevoked3 process. Even after factory reset bootloader shows S-OFF with hboot .93
Any other ideas?

I had this exact same problem with CM6 about 5 days ago, got the screen with the phone. I ended up letting the phone reboot, letting it sit for awhile. It loaded up normal. Got on Home screen., then went in Rom MGR, selected boot into recovery & it went. i did a data factory reset, then flashed a back up of CM6, rebooted, then flashed Myns

Ah I see .. well I guess my situation is a little different since I had to use the ruu I'm basically back to factory settings but after using it my S is set to OFF which I find weird .. not that I know much about rooting android but from the little I do it seems odd. And I dont have super user in my add drawer .. installed rom manager but said it didn't have SU permissions
this stuff is frustrating as hell

It sounds like you don't have a custom recovery installed any longer. I would start your troubleshooting there and see if that helps at all.
Just go into the market download superuser should give u Su. If not then good news is you have s off just find a rooted pc36100.zip like a Sprint lovers version can be found in the universal root method .... if you have s off you can install in unsigned roms .. once that's done install Rom manager after superuser app is installed and flash recovery from the Rom manager first install clockworld if you want then flash ra

I was able to get it back up and going after using a rooted pc36img file .. thanks for the idea though, in case it hits the fan again i'll keep it in mind
Question.... i rooted my phone using unrevoked and installed 2.5.0.1 but now i want to use the 3.0.0.6 i have it downlaoded and on the sd card of my phone and i ran it in recovry and it loads fine how ever when i restart my phone the recovery keeps reverting to 2.5.0.1
could someone just tell me where im going wrong with this XD
cheers the only thing i can think of doing is instaling a RUU then rerooting with a img of 3.0.0.6
Cheers
Hi there,
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901503
Well i have tryed to use unrevoked to flash the img file and it always passes the first reboot how ever it always eather failes with a communications error or it sits on waiting for system to settle. and after a reboot it still running the old clockworkmod recovery
I,ve managed to successfully go through the whole Unrevoked process, selecting custom image, yet I still have the old cwm recovery
Unless I run update. Zip. Or start. Recovery from rom manager I'm still using the old version. Is there something we are doing wrong or is there another method

I have succesfully flashed it with unrevoked. Downloaded it from here http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img
However first time it stucks at htc logo and then unrevoked says "waiting for root (safe to reboot if not working)" or something similar, so i disconected phone, pulled battery, booted and stared all again. This time everything went fine.
Only problem was that rom manager was still saying that im on 2.5.0.1, so downloaded this http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.zip and copied into sdcard\clockworkmod\download\mirror1.kanged.net\recoveries\ and deleted the old one from this path.
Hope it helped...
Finally managed to flash cwm 3.0.0.6 using Unrevoked 3.14. Unrevoked 3.2xx just didnt seem to work at all for me. Recovery is now a joy to use, and performing nandroid backups seems much faster
Sorry for the stupid question, but where can i get version 3.14? when i go to unrevoced.com i can only get version 3.32 wich says "Device Wildfire not supported".
Strange because I've rooted my Wildfire on this PC with unrevoked, so all Drivers are installed and it should work. I think it's a problem with the new version.
thanks in advance
Can't remember where I found it, but I still have it. I'll upload it later
After instal recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img tru Unrevoked v3.14 there is problem with ROM CyanogenMod V7.0.0-RC2 superuser dont work i need to flash back with RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed.exe then again run Unrevoked v3.2 and after that do restore with 2.5.1
Unrevoked 3.14, for anyone who needs it

Reflashed clockwork 3.0.0.6 with it without problems.

You can't update recovery from ROM Manager. We don't have s-off.
Edit: In fact I'm not sure if ROM Manager can do it even with s-off.
My rom manager recovery is 3.0.0.6
I have described few posts back how i manage to do it.
And i also have fake recovery 2.5.0.1 i some zips have amend script and i dont have time to convert it.

I meant, you can't permanently flash your recovery via ROM Manager. For that you need to use a reflash tool (Unrevoked for us) or use fastboot if you have s-off.
Oh, that, right. Sorry, my mistake.

Are you having 2 superuser app conflicting each other after flashing via Unrevoked 3.14 as it is described in other threads? (ClockworkMod v3.0.2.4)
Hi there,
Today, I wanted to change my Amon-ra 2.0.0 recovery to version 2.0.1, because I read somewhere that nandroid backups would fail. And it failed once...
I launched Unrevoked, then I switched the recovery, and started the process. It went right until I got stuck at HTC logo. I had to reboot via the 3 keys combination. Once rebooted normally, I went to the recovery, and the version installed hadn't changed.
Is there any other solution to get this recovery flashed, in order to be able to perform a backup and flash the new RCMixHD 3.4.1 with A2SD+
Thanks !
Yes, but you need to be S-Off for that - the fastboot method.
So the only way to change my recovery is to s-off my phone ?
Also, I forgot to mention that I tried to flash it with Terminal emulator, with the command :
Code:
su
flash_image recovery
and I got error message stating I was running out of memory, and the process couldn't end properly.
Becasue you can not modify the NAND while in boot (S-ON).
Try unrevoked 3.21 with the RA Custom image you downloaded.
That's what I did previously, but it didn't work... I'll try later when I'll be back from college...
Use fastboot or revoked method.....

unroot then run unrevoked again with newest amon ra chosen as recovery
I did this today
First u need S-off if u want to flash another rec., easiest way.
Just go to http://alpharev.nl/ download the Iso Utility,do like the instructions say,burn it,and boot it.Turn UsbDebbuging on,plug the phone and follow 3 ez steps.
After i recomend this tool for flashing the new recovery,takes 2seconds http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823315
Thank you all, i'll try this after the champions league match. Is there any risks with s-off ? Was it safe and painless ?

Turns out I didn't need to s-off my desire. I'm a fool... Everytime I launched Unrevoked, I forgot to run the program as admin... 2 minutes ago, it popped up to my mind, and abrakadabra, it worked !
Yeah, that was necessary
BTW, you can brick your phone if you are not careful with the S-OFF procedure.

Well glad it turned out ok for you enjoy ur new recovery.
Well yes and no.I did s-off in like 3 min with no problems and works like a charm If u just follow the instructions to the letter,u'll be fine.
so here is the deal. i have an evo that is having some problems.
i have ran the RUU and got the thing updated to the latest OTA.
i am not rooted and cant flash a recovery at all.
Currently the bootloader is S-OFF and and all. when i try and get into the recovery i cant get there it just gives me a red triangle and phone in the background. i cant flash a recovery from fastboot. it tells me that its not allowed. i have tried unrevoked recovery flasher to no avail.
can someone point me in the right direction to get a recovery on my phone.

hboot 2.10.0001

As far as I know, you place the PC36IMG.zip (named exactly as such, too, making sure you aren't naming it .zip.zip, as well) in the root of your SD card and load into your bootloader. From there, it will automatically detect the file within a few moments of loading up into your bootloader and you select the appropriate steps, given the on-screen instructions, to flash the PC36IMG file, which will be your recovery.
i have tried the PC36IMG.zip and unrevoked says that it failed to flash the recovery and i got the debugging and non-market apps down.
one other thing. the phone like to random reboot. it will just reboot with no warning after just a few min of use and will stay on if not being used.

try putting this PC36IMG.zip in the root of your sd card, boot intobootloader wait for your phone to recognize it and hit update, the zip is for amon ra 2.3 recovery
after many hours of trial and error and 6 diffrent computers and 4 cables i was able to get a recovery loaded and its workin great.... except the random reboot crap....
BTW
used unrevoked 3 to get it up.
Usually with bad random rebooting, nothing will help. Download the s-on zip from the unrevoked website, flash it in recovery, then run the RUU again. You should be stock, s-on. Then take it to Sprint & have them replace it.

I read somewhere that Alpharev X will also install a recovery and you can just use ROM manager after the process is done to get CWM 4. Is this correct?
Alpharev attempted to push a recovery but failed for me. I was using windows. I pushed a recovery manually then opened rom manager and it made me reflash recovery. It wasn't that bad. There's a good video in the root guide on androidforums that shows what to do if recovery fails with Alpharev.
