I bought an EVO off eBay the other day and it had a trashed MEID. Repaired the MEID and wrote the HA and AAA secrets. Unfortunately, I had a little accident...I overwrote some NVItems that probably should not have been messed with. When I reboot the phone it goes into a continuous boot loop. I can hold the VOL DOWN button and enter the bootloader. After scanning various threads I decided that it might be best to try PC36IMG.zip. I put it in the root dir of an SD card, booted into the bootloader and started the update. Here is the result:

Evidently the person who owned the phone before me had rooted it but I don't really know how to make heads or tails of this information. After I did the PC36IMG update I rebooted and I'm still in the boot loop. If I select RECOVERY after the update it just reboots and continues looping. Can anyone help me resolve this? Obviously, the boot loop is due to my accidentally changing something in NVItems that I shouldn't have. I have tried flashing a couple of stock ROMs but I don't think anything is really changing because it seems that the radio version number never changes.
Radios don't change with roms, I'm not real familiar with NV items but I have seen some threads about it around, try Googling "changed NV evo4g bootloop" and see if it pulls up the old threads, if I'm not mistaken there was a fix that was 50-50, worked for some and not others, but its worth a shot, only problem is I'm not sure if the thread was deleted or not cuz I haven't seen it in a month or so.

I don't think the pc36img will flash correctly with the 6.16 hboot. You have to flash the mod hboot to her it back to 2.16. Search for how to unroot revolutionary and you should find it. After your hboot is back to 2.16 then try the pc36img again. Also the hboot and radio on the phone must match that of the pc36img or it will fail every time.

Hi,
I don't really know where to start and have no idea what actually causes the issue, please just bare with me guys as I badly need your help.
Here's the thing;
My Phone was rooted way back using unrevoked method (as far as I remember)
> Radio was upgraded to the latest (afaik)
> I have created a cheap generic GoldCard with Ext2 & 3 which is kind of slow and so I decided to try different kinds of Custom ROM.
> I recently installed GingerVillain (GingerBread2.3.4).
> I enabled apps to sd for protected apps using the Terminal I downloaded from Market.
> I was on the process of moving apps to sd (including those when it suddenly started bootlooping. After 4x of loops, I decided to remove the battery. From there I know something went wrong.
> I normally would just go to clockwork recovery and do the reinstallation process in rectifying such issue, but to my surprise I was not able to boot into recovery as well and stucked in Fastboot & Hboot and if I try to boot normally, then it will be up to HTC logo only.
> I also noticed that security flag was turned on (S-ON) wherein it was turned off when I bought it and still Off after I rooted using unrevoked method.
> When I checked the SD it was corrupted already and had to format & repartition it using Ubuntu's Gparted Partition Utility. (I bought a new one as a replacement but was unable to make it a GoldCard as it probably requires that it is inside your phone and running in OS)
>> Did some research for few days and here's what I've tried so far. <<
- Tried to use AlphaRev to turn off the security but was unsuccessful since it requires that you have to be inside the OS (ROM) which is not possible at the moment.
- Tried to use RUU to just unroot it and get back to zero but still unsuccessful, it encountered USB Connection Error....many times.
- Tried getting the rom.zip inside RUU and renaming it to PB99IMG.zip, loaded it using hboot but still unsuccessful, it says CID Incorrect! Update Fail.
- I read that downgrading Hboot would most likely resolve the issue but I really have no idea how to do it, no clear steps are roaming out there upon doing my research.
- Some says, you can push the ClockWork using ADB but doing it actually fails....Error....and no clear steps.
I don't really know what kind of issue(s) I am facing now guys.
I am totally on the edge of my seat.
I must have been missing something along the way...(I know I am)
If somebody would be helpful enough to point & show the way in resolving this issue, that would be greatly appreciated (step by step maybe).

If you do not have a goldcard you must find an RUU specifically for your phone. I'm on Vodafone UK and it appears there are a couple of Vod UK RUUs out there but only one of them would flash correctly. The others left me in a state like yours.

So Sorry for the long delay...been busy and Sick these past days...
Ok here goes.
The steps will be assuming that we have "Exactly" the same issue so if ever along the way you think that something might have gone different then I suggest you discontinue following the steps as you might end up with a Totally Bricked Desire. (which I am not liable of )
Credits to the people who created ALL steps I have copied and pasted in here!
Here's what I did in my case;
(**Make sure your unit is totally charged up)
Step 1:
Downgrade Hboot & Unroot (restore shipped ROM) your device;
- Get the latest RUU for your region (make sure it is for your region) from Shipped Roms. (remember to check the md5 sum, we don't want to download a corrupted file )
- Run the RUU as administrator.
- When it gets to the portion of asking you to plugged in the device,, click Start and type %temp% in the search box, it will come up with a folder named Temp,,Open it.
- Using the search bar (again) in the temp folder that we just opened, type in rom.zip when you see rom.zip, move it to desktop or anywhere you like, then you can cancel the opened RUU process.
- Create GoldCard (other threads doesn't suggest to use a GoldCard YET as the ROM will run even without a GoldCard, but in my case...Ordinary SD Card doesn't work for me at all leaving me in creating a GoldCard). Format the SD Card to FAT32 afterwards.
- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip
- Copy it to the SD Card root
- Boot to Hboot (Vol- plus Power)
- Hboot will then detect the zip and will load it up, Wait for few minutes and grab a cup of coffee .
- When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it;
It gives the next options after few minutes from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.
Parsing………………….[SD zip]
1. Bootloader
2. Radio V2
3. Radio_Cust
4. Boot
5. Recovery
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
Do you want to update device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
and so we would want to choose Yes
During the Process, it will reboot and will reload PB99IMG.zip again and will continue with its process....if ever you got stucked into HTC screen again after it reboots during the process, you can pretty much remove the battery then boot to Hboot again and it will continue with its thing.
If it asks for a reboot, choose Yes.
If you pressed Yes, then:
Update is in progress..
Do not power off your device.
1. Bootloader -OK
2. Radio V2 -OK
3. Radio_Cust -OK
4. Boot -OK
5. Recovery-Unzipping/Updating
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
If it asks for a reboot again, choose Yes.
On rebooting, HTC screen shows up for a few seconds.
Then a green Down arrow in a green circle shows up for another 5-6 seconds.
Then, HTC screen again.
Finally, HTC screen disappears and the HTC Quietly brilliant logo shows.
Your device now boots into the Android phone.
DONE with Step 1...your phone is now unrooted, Hboot downgraded and is back into its Shipped State.
**If you encountered error during the initial loading of PB99IMG then chances are the ROM you downloaded might not be the one for your device, remember that the ROM vary from region to region so you must make sure you have downloaded the right one....
Step 2:
S-Off your device
- AlphaRev will guide you here
**no need to NANDROID since you don't have anything to...
**This thing will actually install its customized CWM Recovery which you'll find it COOL......& will also upgrade your Hboot again
Step 3:
It's time to ROOT your phone again.
- Use Unrevoked Method,,,the EASIEST way as far as I know.
Step 4:
Flash a custom ROM....I'm pretty sure you know how to do it.
I suggest flashing GingerVillain 2.7 [GingerBread 2.3.4] (not 2.8,,,still BETA I think)
- Make use of AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery.....in my case I partitioned the SD Card using AlphaRev's Customized CWM Recovery instead of using Linux's Gparted Utility (choose 2gb of partition if you have a bigger SD Card Space and 512mb of swapping)
- In making sure everything will work well...I did the following things;
>> Restart CWM after formatting and partitioning the SD Card.
>> Resatrt CWM after wiping.
>> Restart CWM after copying the custom ROM to SD Card.
DONE...The Rest is up to you.
To Moderators and Geeks in here......please correct any steps I have provided in here if you find it a bit OFF so as to help others who have encountered same issue as I had.....Thanks.
CREDITS TO ALL HARDWORKING PEOPLE AT XDA WHO TOOK THE TIME AND INITIATIVE TO POST ALL STEPS POSSIBLE IN RESOLVING SUCH ISSUES....
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
Edit:
I have learned that buying Cheap and Crappy Sd Card will not actually save you money but will further make your day worst.........so my suggestion is to buy the BEST one......just think of it as an investment (LOL!)
Comments?? Anyone???

Hi XDA-Guys,
first of all, I am a moron because I think that I've bricked my phone.
How did I bricked it? Let me tell you:
I tried several ROMs (MIUI, Cyanogenmod, Android Revolution, ICS Beta ROMs). Everything was fine flashing with Clockwork. I've permrooted it once with Visionary+.
Then I wanted to sell my phone to a friend and forgot to turn off all the rooted options and started the latest RUU (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed.exe). Before that I also flashed the latest Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.
It didn't work. I got this error:
ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I bought the DHD from O2 in Germany when it came out in October/November 2010.
I thought: "Okay, no problem. Download the RUU from O2."
I tried the RUU_Ace_O2_DE_1.32.207.1_Radio_12.28a.60.140e_26.03.02.08_M_release_153755_signed.exe and it didn't work. Then I tried another RUU: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe. I tried alot of RUUs but none of it worked.
Everytime I got the same error. When I got into Fastboot it begins to flash and I can see the silver HTC font with the black background and then the error occurs: ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.
It doesn't work because I'm on S-ON, right?
I think when I started my first RUU (the latest one) it got S-ON.
I can go into Recovery mode and restore another old backup but when the phone boots it got stuck with the white screen and green HTC font.
I tried several ROMs.
When I boot into HBOOT by pressing VOL DOWN and POWER this occurs:

I also tried creating a Goldcard with booting into Fastboot and starting the latest RUU --> didn't work. :-(
I tried starting the RUU till the first screen and copied the "rom.zip" out of the folder C:\Users\HorstHeinz\AppData\Local\Temp\{CFD2B623-C8F0-49BD-B58A-B660BD3E6320}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}, renamed it to PD98IMG.zip and copied it to the root of the SD-Card. And when I booted the phone into HBOOT it recognizes the file. It loads, it checks...and then it failed again: "CID incorrect! Update fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.
Where is the mistake? Can I throw away my smartphone?
Kind regards,
Horschti

First off, you aren't bricked. It turns on. So don't panic. Do you have Google Talk or anything? If you do, PM me that and I'll help you. Thanks!
PS. Do NOT throw your phone away!

[Guide] Stuck in Hboot Read This
You might also want to look at you CID, if you are "Super CID" you may not be able to flash RUU from a provider. You will need to find your providers CID (there are many threads etc) and then write that (using the easy S-off tool) then flash your RUU.
If you Flash an older RUU and then update you will overwrite your Rooted options.
@azrael97c:
I tried a lot of guides, but I haven't tried this one.
I will tell you if it worked. Thx for your help.
@wbbigdave:
Yeah, that was my first idea to make it work. Maybe I find another CID-Change-Tutorial. But SUPER CID_1111111 is the one where I can flash every RUU, right?
yeah your good to go
@azrael97c:
The tutorial you've sent me didn't work either. :-(
I always get the same error when I've copied PD98IMG.zip into the root folder of the SDCard. And I also tried a couple of PD98IMG.zip --> "CID incorrect! Update fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.
@xXkingsromXx:
Yeah, I know! The idea was good, but in reality it of course didn't work. :-(
I'm not able to create the goldcard because I just can get into HBoot and from there to recovery mode. In recovery mode I'm able to read out the CID.
From the tutorial in XDA I've wanted to create it with help of Google a Goldcard. I've found a Goldcardtool.exe-Tool. But it also didn't work. :-(
Recently I decided to get my phone back to stock so I started looking into the unrooting methods. During this process, I came across error after error. Usually error 170 whilst in the Ruu process. After hours of googling I had no luck so tried the alternative method of using the PB99IMG.ZIP file. All seemed to be going well until I got this message.

I should also say that my SD card is currently 3gb with a 1gb with an EXT 4 partition.
When I receive the error my phone will neither boot into recovery or into the OS. My screen displays the HTC logo and then either goes black or has black lines across it.
All I currently want to do is get my Desire back to its stock 2.2 like it was when I got it out the box.
If anyone can shed some light on this that would be brilliant.
Thanks.
Never needed to RUU myself but if you want to return totally to stock and remove S-off you'll need to fastboot flash the hboot downgrade from AlphaRev first. Current AlphaRev are protected. I'd do some research on the Radio v 2 error as well, it might be related to the above but I don't know tbh.

I looked into the radio v2 fail and its apparently to do with my partition. I have also looked at the alpha rev instructions but don't understand this part.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
I don't know what I'm meant to check and against what.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
I don't understand what I'm supposed to rename the file to.
Radio brick is usually bad. Try the 2.3 RUU and report back with any luck. Find it in resources on my guide.
Hey bortak, this one is the same guy who is having. MISC Aissues with recovery.
So OP, which one is the current state of the phone?

Oh... well that sucks...
Try the 2.3 RUU I guess, and good luck.
Thanks to everyone's help. I ended up getting Amon Ra recovery to sort fix my recovery and then flashed Cyanogen which has kept more happy in the mean time.
Thanks again.
Let me preface this by saying I am not super familiar with this system, I rooted this for my sister.
I am stuck in a bootloop, I am S-Off
I have tried to restore to stock. I placed the stock image on my SD card and it was recognized and it attempted to update. The file is good and the MD5 checked out.
The results are below, and I have also included 2 screen shots.
[1] TP -OK
[2] Recovery - OK
[3] Bootloader - Bypassed
[4] Splash1 - OK
[5] Boot - OK
[6] Userdata - OK
[7] TP - Bypassed
[8] System - OK
[9] Radio - OK
It said during the update that it could not roll back hboot version.
I'm assuming this is related to being S-Off
What is my next move to fix this?
I haven't looked too much into this, but does this guide help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466295

I am hesitant to follow that because the first step is exactly what I have been doing except with a different RUU file... would the fact that this is froyo change that the bootloader is being bypassed?
For anyone with a similar issue, i fixed this by downloading and installing the android developers kit
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
you have to make sure you install java within the correct folder. ( I believe it is the eclipse folder but the program will tell you when you try to run it the first time)
I then installed htc drivers again just to make sure they were good.
then i downloaded this file
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccf....01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_signed.exe
ran the program from my computer and followed the instructions. I had to run it twice since it froze halfway through the first time and i needed to do a battery pull.
After this i was still in boot loops, but i booted into the recovery and did a factory reset after which point the phone was working...
