I think I may have just bricked my phone. I tried to install the hulu app with the new flash player and stuff. And after I flashed hulu.zip, i rebooted it and got stuck on the white "HTC EVO 4G" screen. What should I do?
Your ok. Just pull the battery, get to Hboot (Vol down +Power til the Hboot screen comes up) go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again. If it doesn't boot, go back and wipe everything, except SD Card: and Battery Stats, reflash your ROM and go from there

Hi everyone,
I need some help. I recently rooted by HTC Desire and loaded Froyo. Everything has been working perfectly. That is until I tried to run a system update.
Firstly, I got the error "cannot verify file-signature", so I renamed the update to SDCARD: update.zip and ran this from the recovery screen.
The update seemed to run fine, until I was asked to reboot the phone... now it's stuck it a constant boot cycle only getting as far as the splash screen.
Can anyone help me ?
If you rooted your phone than don't do system updated scan.
Did you make a nandroid backup after you rooted your phone?
Have you tried rebooting in recovery mode and wipe cache and wipe data/factory and then flash your phone with the rom again?
Could also try just wipeing cache.
If that dosen't work you might have to format the sd card but i wouldn't jump to doing that and if you do that you should mount your sd card via recovery mode and take the data ther you don't want to lose, like your nandroid backup and other stuff.
If not i would try that before you do it you should nandroid backup your phone!
Wiping all user data won't make a difference. A factory reset will remove all data form the data partition but sysyem stays the same, and that is where the problem is.
If you get the signature verification failed it can mean two things. Either the file was not singed or it was singed but got corrupted/changed. What where you trying to flash?
If you can still boot in to recovery, reflash a rom (with a full wipe) you still have on the sd or mount you sd as mass storage and copy a new rom to the sd.
Just in case, to do a factory reset, choose the "CLEAR STORAGE" option which can be found under the HBOOT menu.. That's what I did when my phone kept getting stuck in a bootloop once, I also did a full wipe + dalvik cache wipe, and then flashed the ROM and it worked.
I cannot do a factory reset. I tried it... same issue. The boots to the flash screen, then gets stuck in a loop. Screen off, vibrate/flash screen on, screen off, vibrate/splash screen on, etc, etc.
Looks like I'll need to do something a little more drastic. Re-flash perhaps ?
Yes, you can try without wiping if you want to keep your data but best thing is a full wipe and reflash.
Am haveing the same problem thinking i unrooted my desire and istalled froyo rom did up date.
My problem seems to be little more then just reboot loop i get red triangle at recovery Fake flash didnt help.
Any ideas?
Oh please, give a solution! on this problem!
I've done the same update and got into a boot loop.
The problem is, I can't get into the recovery menu to flash my backup.
And also tried to reflash the recovery, but Unrevoked won't recognize the phone.
WHAT SHOULD I DO??????
So you updated a rooted phone with an OTA update?
could you post more details.
eg. the rom you are using, the original rom that was on the phone, branded etc....

OK. It's a NOT branded Desire with original Android 2.2 (ROM version 2.10405...), HBOOT 0.93, etc. And yes, I have done system update after Unrevoked rooting (I know it's a mistake)
Any ideas?
download this..
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
boot your phone into fastboot - power and BACK button.
connect to pc.
your phone should display FASTBOOT USB.
run the exe you downloaded as administrator and with any antivirus turned off.
wait...
done...
this will put your phone back to stock and will wipe everything but not your sdcard.
let us know how you get on

Thanks, I've already got that answer. Now trying to download the RUU with my poor connection.....
by the way, do I need a sim in the phone during this process?
I don't think it matters.

Just finished flashing the stock rom. It's really the only way to bring the phone alive
I was using Coredroid until I decided to give Cyanogenmod a try.
I used Clockworkmod to download the latest stable release of Cyanogenmod.
I chose not to wipe any data and continued to flash CyanogenMod.
After installation is complete and during the boot up of CyanogenMod, the boot up screen got stuck. The animation of Android robot on the skateboard kept repeating itself almost every minute.
So I removed the battery and tried again. It got stuck at the Cyanogenmod boot up screen*.
I removed the battery again and wipe data and cache as well as factory reset in Clockworkmod recovery.
Now I still stuck at the HTC boot up screen for the past 20 minutes.
===Update===
I did a restore and tried to boot up again. It's still stuck at the HTC boot up screen.
Please give me advice.
Thanks...
*Boot up screen is the white background + green HTC logo screen.
First of all you should always do a full wipe before switching roms. Secondly, wiping it after the flash only makes it worse as you might have noticed.
To fix this, download CyanogenMod and full wipe and put both zip files on your sd card. Boot into CWM recovery, flash the full wipe zip and then the cyanogenmod zip.
When I flashed Coredroid, I don't have to wipe data so I assumed it's okay not to do it.
But now I learnt it the hard way.
I've done what you said, Hawk. It's now up with CyanogenMod.
Now I just have issues adding my Google account in it. It's the Exchange settings which I didn't have to enter in HTC Sense but now have to.
I will post it in another thread.
Thanks, Hawk!
So I decided to root my DHD yesterday. Everything worked fine until I installed CyanogenMod 7, that went on a boot loop so I went in recovery tried to restore the phone (restore to last backup and even factory settings) but now I'm just stuck with the HTC bootscreen and I don't know what I can do.
Any advice?
Thanks.
P.S I'm pretty noob at this
Can you provide some more information about the process. Which version of CWM are you using?
Reboot into CWM, do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik cache, then install CM again...
Well I've restore the phone with a new RUU file. What happens is now when i restore my phone through clockwork, my phone gets stuck on the HTC boot screen, making me have to restore the phone with the RUU file.
After phone totally blocked I tried to recover system using CWR v3.0.2.4. There I am able to do everything (wipe data/factory reset and Wipe Dalvik cache), I am also able to load new ROM (tried MIUI and Caynogen). But after rebooting phone freezes with HTC logo on it. Only possible reset is with unpluging battery.
Any suggestions?
I have a ATT Samsung Galaxy S3, running Android 4.2.2. I was putting Clockwork on and when I got done and rebooted system, nothing. It vibrates once and the words Samsung comes up then total black screen. Bootloader and downloader still work fine. I formatted, put a rom back on but the same thing happens. It just seems like there is a missing file that is stopping it from continuing to start up. Can someone give me some guidance. I jailbroke my phone 2 years ago so I am very rusty. Thanks for the help.
Clear data, dalvik, and cache in recovery, then reboot.
WARNING: doing this will wipe your data off the phone.

cleared both, then even formatted. Like I said before, when I turn it on it vibrates, then the Samsung (in white) comes up then it goes to the black screen and stays there. Like its getting hung up. All happened after rebooting system in clockwork.
What ROM was on your phone. You mentioned 4.2.2 but I don't think ATT released a 4.2.2 ROM.

I had a cyanogen mod on couldn't tell you which one exactly. My android version was the 4.2.2
what do you think of turning it back to stock, not that I want too?
You need to know which bootloader was on your phone before trying to restore to stock. The bootloader will determine how to restore the stock ROM.
First of all, boot into download mode and tell me what it says on the screen.
actually I had both twrp and clockwork both on there. Here is what is says on a start up downloader screen: A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.
if you have terminal emulator on your phone , type in
getprop ro.bootloader (you need the space) and press enter. this will tell you your bootloader version.
err on the side of kindness
Either do what Mrrocketdog suggested or go past the warning message to the download mode.
oooopps! forgot about going past warning message. been a very long long time since been there. :thumbup:

I never put emulator on my phone. Here is what I just did, I followed the Cyanogen d2lte to the T. Rebooted and now it is stuck on the Samsung GalaxySlll screen with the little blue android. I flashed both files thru my recovery. Again, everything started after I rebooted my system for the first time after installing the clockwork mod
I have no idea, but jst a though. Would it help to go to advanced, mounts and storage, in clockwork and format everything except my sd card?
bootloader is clockwork v6.0.4.7
CWM is the recovery, not the bootloader.
Boot to recovery. Format system, cache, data, flash cm11, reboot
thanks for being patient with me. i will try and let you know
. this site would be nothing without people like you.
here is what i did,(1) wipe dalvik and cache. (2) reboot(3)apply cynaogen bootloader update. (4) in this step it tried rebooting to recovery and not before applying cm11. when i reboot the system it gets stuck on the samsung galaxyiii with the blue android guy, the screen gets stuck right before it would boot to the cynagogen screen. again all my problems started when i added clockwork mod and rebooted. at that time i already had twrp. what would i have to do to remove clockwork mod or just help me just start from the begining drawing board. thanks.
