Put the attached file in the root of your sd-card, and boot into HBOOT (not fastboot).
You may need a goldcard for it to work.

I was always in hboot, not in fastboot, so flashing didn't work(but devices did)
My bad

[Q] Help Please! Evo 4g (soft?) bricked!

My Evo 4G is boot looped on the "HTC EVO 4G" whitescreen.
Instead of giving the whole story, I'm just going to supply what I believe is relevant - please let me know if additional info would help.
Bootloader Reads:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.0001
RADIO-2.15.00.11.19
Symptoms/Behavior Observed:
I cannot boot into recovery (I just end up boot looping as described).
I can enter FASTBOOT USB and the "fastboot devices" command indicates my phone is connected.
Any "fastboot erase" or "fastboot flash" command results in "FAILED (remote: not allowed)", so I suspect my HBOOT is not the engineering version.
I cannot seem to connect with ADB, though I've only tried from FASTBOOT USB and HBOOT USB, since I can't fully boot.
Attempting to flash any image with the PC36IMG.zip method results in the file being loaded and parsed, but I'm never prompted to update or reboot, I just end up back at the main bootloader screen.
Restoring from an RUU appears to complete successfully, (radio version changes accordingly if I do so), but the phone still boot loops. I've tried multiple RUU versions.
Selecting "clear storage" from the boot menu also doesn't have any apparent effect.
Thoughts appreciated...thanks
EDIT: #5 is no longer a problem - now I seem to be able to flash via the PC36IMG method just fine.
U might have a bad SD card. Try wiping card and then try again
Here's an update:
Did a full format of the SD card as you suggest.
Then I tried flashing the 2.10 spoofed HBOOT from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805612&page=3
That got me somewhere! From there I could execute:
C:\EVO_Softbrick\EVO\ADB>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.061s]

C:\EVO_Softbrick\EVO\ADB>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
sending 'recovery' (3544 KB)... OKAY [ 1.038s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.474s]
finished. total time: 2.512s
Unfortunately, no luck getting into recovery at this point - now I get white htc screen, followed by black screen, 5 vibrations and blinking green LED. (I've seen this before - it seems to happen when I flash to an older stock rom. Flashing back to a newer stock rom causes boot looping from the white htc screen to black.)
From there I ran this RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph....651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe
Which brought my HBOOT back to 0.79.0000, or so it says.
However, there were no improvements in my ability to boot to recovery or the full OS.
I also tried flashing the PC36IMG version of recovery, but I'm still getting the same behavior.

Don't know about the others, but the original poster killed that phone, I hate to say it, by flashing the wrong and too many RUUs, in particular from the link that was posted, OUCH. Maybe others are doing the same. I don't know.

'(bootloader) is-logical:recovery: not found' error when trying to flash TWRP

Hello
Today I tried to flash TWRP on my Moto G5S because I wanted to use a custom ROM. While trying to flash TWRP on the phone, I got this error:
Code:
(bootloader) is-logical:recovery: not found
Sending 'recovery' (15850 KB) OKAY [ 0.696s]
Writing 'recovery' (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.387s]
Finished. Total time: 1.191s
I have USB Debugging enabled, the bootloader is unlocked, and I'm using the latest version of TWRP (3.3.1.0) made for this phone.
I have never installed TWRP or anything similar before, so I don't know how to fix this. I have searched on Google, but no results are about this same problem. If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please tell me how.
Thanks.

Lenovo P2 stuck in "Fast boot" menu. Bricked?

I have a Lenovo P2, unrooted, on stock Android, with a 256mb micro SD card. It hasn't been unlocked/flashed/rooted in any way apart from Developer Options to allow ADB.
A couple of days ago the phone started to lag and lock up, and then rebooted into "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)" menu. The only options are Start/Barcodes/Power Off.
The Start and Power Off/On options simply reboot back to the same screen after a couple of seconds. It won't boot back into Android with any combination of volume up/down/power buttons, or offer me any other options such as recovery or clear cache etc.
I've tried rebooting with/without the SD card - it makes no difference.
The phone still appears to be recognised by ADB when I connect it to a laptop - it appears in 'fastboot devices' - but I still can't get it to exit fastboot and boot back into Android with any ADB command.
I've tried downloading Reiboot and "15 second adb" toolkits which claim to exit fastboot mode, but without success.
I'm assuming the bootloader is corrupted.
Can anyone please point me towards any possible action for fixing it, or is it bricked?
Many thanks.

The thing you are on now is the bootloader...
What you did is probably soft bricked the phone.
What did you perform with adb?
If your rom is not booting you might need to reinstall it.

Here's what I've tried with ADB - the phone seems to be connected as evidenced by "fastboot devices", but I don't know what to do now. "Fastboot reboot" just brings me back to the same Fastboot screen in my original post, as does holding down vol+/vol-/power for several seconds.
I successfully unlocked/flashed a ZTE San Francisco Blade back in the day, so I don't mind trying to flash this P2 if that's the answer and you can point me towards a noob-friendly guide, please.
Reinstall the stock rom from fastboot
@Kenora_I
To try and reinstall stock, I'm following the instructions here --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lenovo-p2-fastboot-files-of-every-stock-firmware.3649914/
and have downloaded all the firmware files linked on that page, ie https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=205781
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first?
Well, when I tried to "fastboot oem unlock", I got
fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: oem unlock error: partition tampered
I then tried the Flash commands given, and got this error;
Fastboot flash system systemchunk0.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'system' (260121 KB)...
OKAY [ 9.303s]

FAILED (remote: Not official valid sparse image)
finished. total time: 9.379s
I got this with every set of firmware files on the download link. Am I trying to use the wrong firmware images?
Thanks for any tips and suggestions.

You have to find and flash a valid flash image, try with the same version you were installed on
Can someone provide me with a twrp restore file? I tried to flash the stock rom but the bat file that came with it tampered with some files and I can't even boot into the stock rom
