EVO Bricked? Please Help

I had rooted my phone and updated the radio to 1.47.651.1 when I tried to update a custom rom I accidently re-ran PC36IMG.zip and it rebooted quick NOW the radio says 1:39:00:04:26
and in the options below I now have
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
I tried putting the phone on FASTBOOT then connected it to the USB and began a stock rom not rooted and it boots my phone into an HTC Black screen Boot mode and begins to update until it comes to the signatures and it gives me an error.
I run windows 7
I went and tried this, connected sd card to Computer with adapter and transferred stock rom rooted and renamed it to sdcard.zip
booted Evo to bootloader and chose recovery.
I as usual got the black background with EVO Icon and red triangle with exclamation mark.
There I click on hold Volume Up and Power until I get the following error:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then I click volume up and the following title and menu appear:
Android system recovery <2e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
When I choose the sdcard:update option the following message is displayed
----Install from Sdcard ------
Finding Update package
Opening update package
verifying update package
E:signature verification failed
instalation aborted
After, I downloaded tha froyo 2.2 file and placed it on the sd and rename it to update.zip
and when I ran Update.zip from bootloader it ran half way but then stopped saying the following error
failed to verify whole-file signature
So now I load any PC36IMG and I get NO QUESTION to update just puts me onto the bootloader screen….

Not bricked, just stuck. Download stock ruu, plug phone into computer and install. Or put pc136.img on rot of sd, boot into fast boot, it should install automatically. If none of the above, go to a sprint store, tell them it won't boot and you don't know why, and they will flash or replace.

What I would do from here if I were you is put that sd card back in the computer and erase everything on it.
while your at it shut down the phone. Hold down the volume down button and press power. When that comes up post what version of Hboot you have please.
And I'll be better able to help out.
WOw

did you try to reinstall another ROM?
if you still see the RECOVERY menu item, go there and then go where it says update from zip on sdcard. then using up/down buttons highlight the .zip file of the ROM then push the power button to make it run.
this hoping you got a ROM on your sdcard. if not just get one at the forum and download.
i got clockworkmod but im sure the other recovery tools have similar options.

@ adelaney Stock Ruu begins to update and gives me an error when signatures are being installed. I tried three Stock ROMS
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459
@ rjmjr69
Hboot information is:
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.79.0000
MICROP-041F
TOUCH PANEL-ATMWLC03_16ac
RADIO-1.39.00.04.26

Ok here's the deal. If you have nan unlock, fully rooted then you should have a nandroid back. If you do then boot into recovery and no a nandroid restore. This should boot you to one of your pervious backup/ system state.
Please note.
If you are fully rooted u should always do a nandroid backup before you flash any update, that way u can do a restore in the even something goes wrong.

Thank you for the information but it was a step I did not do... The tutorial that I went with did not speak about that when I rooted my phone...
EDIT: I even tried mixing files that I have downloaded with various PC36IM.zip and nothing triggers the update question.

Would they be able to notice if its rooted?

Most likely NOT bricked if it boots!
Sounds like you re-applied root but glitched somewhere?
Try root again - may still work?

What version is your hboot - press power and volume down WITHOUT pc36img.zip, update, etc on your sd - i.e. rename it or remove it, i.e. with adb or sd card slot on pc.... See if you can still access recovery?
I've been hammering on these things for a bit and if I can get into the boot screen, it's pretty much good to go...

Hboot-0.79.0000
Also the error that began all of this was running the wrong PC36IMG to begin with... I had 1.4 radio and I think that the one I used had the 1.3 radio so the only thing that helped me boot up again was that 1,2,3 step flashing so I thought that I had to take the second step and that placed in on booter, I have not been able to boot again ever since.... That was yesterday been trying for about 9 hours lol

Yes your just not rooted anymore. Run whatever process worked for you the first time

Try whitslack's method.
EDIT: Nevermind, no can do.

What happens is that my phone DOES read the PC36IMG.zip but it does not give me update option as it used to before. Any suggestions?

Reroot your phone using toast method! That is all! If you are on 1.47 then use simple root!

Seems you have un-rooted the boot me thinks but also read something about mixing radio's causing grief, someone more in the know could answer that... If you can get to hboot usb and try the RUU from your PC? Sometimes taking the battery out and restarting, if communication fails, try it again, rebooting the pc, hell I have no procedure, I just hammer till it makes sense, however 9 hours - holy crap, I'd be foaming at the face!

Ok will do right away and post update

I have done that via PC and the only thing that works with that are the stock roms since they come in EXE they manage to reboot my phone and everything but when the update gets to the signature part it says it fails in the signatures and aborts... any other custom roms that have EXE?

[problem] desire restarting after cyanogen flash

Heya,
I was using the LeeDroid ROM until today, when I desided I want Cyanogen.
I backed up the phone using ROM Manager, wipe and flashed Cyanogem 6.1 RC2. The phone restarted, turned on - but it cn't load the actual android OS - just keeps restarting on the blue wheel-thing animation.
I can boot my phone into recovery, but can't do much from there since its S-ON.
The recovery windows says:
bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot-0.80.0000
microp-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.10.05.23
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
what can I do to get my phone working again? Will a simple restore using HTC software do the trick (followed by root with unrevoked)?
Thanks

Which version of Clockworkmod recovery did you fakeflash? There is an issue with the latest one that makes your SDcard unaccessible afterwards. It also mess up your USB.
Here is a thread that guides you how to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639

I used the latest one, 2.5.1.7 I think.
Isn't there a way to restore the phone with the HTC software, sonething lite the iphone+itunes combo?

Is your sd card not being recognzed?
As you said you created a backup using rom manager before you flashed the new rom. So why dont you just enter hboot, go to recovery and the restore youre phone to the backup that you made using rom mabager before you flashed?

When I select "recovery" using the HBOOT I get a picture of a phone, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark. Does this mean I have to do the USB brick fix?

hmmm thats odd ... sounds like it could be a usb brick related issue, im not sure as i havnt had the same problem before or seen anyone else in the forum experiencing this problem.
I think you should read up more about the usb brick fix, hopefully there is something there that would be able to help you ... if its already known that the latest version of clockworkmod does give this problem then im sure its this and you would be able to find a solution to this problem.
Good luck

UPDATE:
My bad, I was supposed to press volumeup+power to see the recovery screen.
Now, when I do that I get "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command", and get only 4 options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe date
wipe cache
Is this related to the USB BRICK thing?

You need to wipe data when switching roms, this will fix the bootloop.
I would also suggest you flash a permanent recovery for ease of use. You need to use unrevoked to do this.

This is the default android recovery screen. The error "E:Cant open...." is something I also get.
Do you have an update.zip on your SDcard? Like the clockworkmod recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640Use 2.5.0.7 and not 2.5.1.2 (has the fail you most likely see now). If correct update.zip on SDcard, try to press apply sdcard. If youre able to do so, you are accessing your sdcard. If youre getting problems applying this update file. I suggest following the thread I told you in my first post You then have to make your SDcard accessible with a fastboot command.
You are accessing fastboot by holding vol down while powering your phone on. Select fastboot. Plug your USB. Download the Android SDK or only fastboot.exe. Run this command from cmd: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0". You should get a return command like "okay", and your SD card should be accessible again. Now you will need to follow the guide and fix your USB. However, you should be able to flash a new ROM now when your SDcard is accessible again, or just restore the nandroid backup that gave you this problem to begin with
Update: post #30, weee!

When i select that I get "E; failed to open sdcard\update.zip (no such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed"
Does this simply mean I don't have that file on my card?
If so, is there a way to access the card in mass storage mode while the phone is in HBOOT?

Do you have a mem reader for windows/linux? Look if you have the file or not. If you don't have it, copy it there. If it's there, you have a problem with accessing the SDCard.
I would say, If I were you, I would try to "repair" the SDcard with the fastboot command first. Most likely, your ROM will boot again when it can read from your SDcard.
Other options would be to try to push the update file with ADB in Android Recovery. Most likely you can't push it either since your SDcard most likely is inaccessible. Try fastboot

Unzip the file. Open CMD, navigate to the tools folder in SDK. Issue the command.

I ran the SDcard fix on CMD, it said "OKAY", but nothing changed in the phone's condition.
I put the SDcard on a card reader and saw there are backup files (.img) in the clockworkmod directory. how do i get the phone to recover from them?
The "update.zip" file, where can i get that one?

You can get your update.zip file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
Download the 2.5.0.7 zip file and rename to update.zip. Put on root of SDcard and apply sdcard: update.zip in android recovery. From here, go to nandroid, restore, and select your backup.

Doesn't the Update.zip file suppose to be a zipped ROM?

Not necessarily. A zip can flash a lot of different things. I'm not that much into it. But it all depends on the content of the zip file.

How do I " go to nandroid"?

Don't remember what it's called exactly. But when running update.zip (clockworkmod), you should have a restore menu somewhere...

Thanks a lot man! recovering right now.. will update when done.
About that S-ON thing, will the Unrevoked reflash option "Remove phone security" take care of this? Is there a risk in re-rooting?
I want to add some notifications sounds and the "system" folder is write protected
EDIT:
The restore works just fine!

[Q] Have I bricked my Desire? - Solved

Hey Guys,
I've had my HTC Desire for over a year, and I've finally managed to break it (or so I think)
A few months back I rooted my phone and since they I've been installing various ROMs.
I recently purchased an app on the store that requires 2.2 and hasn't been updated for 2.3, and as I was running Gingerbread I was looking for a ROM that would downgrade my device back to 2.2.
I downloaded and installed an official ROM for 2.2 and immediately installed an OTA update, since then my phone has bootlooped. I've tried to install other ROMs through recovery but I either come up with a 'signature failed' error or a '(status 2)' error.
I'm guessing I'll need to install ClockworkMod again, but I have no idea how to, and after searching for tutorials how to do it manually, I'm having trouble understanding them.
Running HBOOT 0.93
The phone isn't branded by any company.
If there's anything else you need to know please ask and I will provide the information ASAP
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this, also.
EDIT!
An error message appears when I enter recovery displaying
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

I guess you cannot access rom/clockworkmod recovery?
My only idea is a hard factory reset (you will loose all data with this operation):
1.) Boot phone into hboot (start it with pressed volume down and power button)
2.) Navigate with volume buttons to "CLEAR STORAGE"
3.) Enter with power button

I can access recovery, it takes me to a screen with a picture of a phone with a red triangle and an exclamationmark in the middle.
I press +Vol and Power and it gives me these options
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I tried the 'ClearStorage' method and I'm having no luck with that.
I'm guessing I'm looking for an official unmodded ROM. However that might not be the case. :/

A complete ruu is needed, not only the ota. So download my linked ruu, rename it into PB99IMG.zip, copy it to the root of your sd card (so not in any folder), boot your phone into hboot and run the flash operation.

Thanks for clearing that out but the link you provided it's a RUU.exe which can only be flashed from PC to flash the ruu from hboot you need zip version of that ruu.i am saying this cause when i was flashed ruu from hbbot renaming the ruu.exe didn't work for me i had to download to zip file from the shipped-roms.com

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sorry for the wait in reply.
Okay, I did that with the PB99IMG.zip file and I'm still having no luck, maybe there's another step after that what I've missed out?
I placed the PB99IMG file to the root of the SD and the HBOOT loaded it, what am I supposed to do next?
I tried rebooting the phone after this, and I still get the same loop.
The HTC screen shows, then it seems to restart (probably because there's nothing on the device for it to load)
EDIT
I tried both ZIPs that I was linked to

My last idea is to try this way:
1.) Create goldcard with linux:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html?m=1
2.) Rename my linked ruu in "update.zip" after downloading (in case you don't have it any more)
3.) Copy this file on the goldcard
4.) Insert goldcard in your phone, go to recovery and apply the update.zip on your sd card
Maybe the goldcard can avoid the signature verification failure.

[Q] Stuck on S-Off Screen

Hi, i've been using LeeDroid for a few months now and all has been well, however yesterday my Desire turned itself off and now won't come back on. Each time i try and power it up it freezes at the Alpharev S-Off screen. I went into the menu's with volume down + power, but i can't get into my recovery - it takes me to the same frozen screen as does trying to reboot etc. And i don't think it's being recognized by usb either. So i really don't know what to do now.. is my phone bricked? I was a complete noob before rooting and flashing a custom rom before, so now that i've hit a problem i'm clueless all over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated

can you use fastboot? If so just flash a new recovery and all should be fine... chill out it can be fixed

What would i need for that? That's going into new territory

Can you access recovery? If no can you access bootloader (vol down + power on)

I can get onto the menu with the options 'fastboot, recovery, clear storage and simlock' if that's what you mean? The recovery option takes me back to my frozen alpharev screen, but i can get onto fastboot and after reading around i can get my pc to recognize it from fastboot usb from my pc using cmd.. Am i going the right direction at all? Eek. What i don't get now is the recovery image i'm supposed to use

Use amon_RA ... Download and flash onto ur phone and ur phone should be fixed
Plenty of guides around man, good way of learning fastboot

to use fastboot you need to download several things. Instead of using fastboot with cmd, I'd just recommend using fastboot commander, which does the job for you. In order to use that however, you will need the adb drivers, and Java SDK.
Once you've got all that, simply boot into fastboot, run "fastboot commander.exe", go into the "misc" tab, wipe Recovery, system, cache, boot, and userdata. Once you've done that download recovery, navigate to the "Hboot, radio & Rec" tab on fastboot commander, select recovery, find the recovery.img you just downloaded, and flash it. Once you've done that just boot into recovery and install any ROM you want.

Thanks for the replies guys. I did what you said to do (using fastboot commander), and when trying to boot into recovery to install my ROM it froze again at the alpharev screen. I'm stuck again now. When the files show up as you turn on into fastboot, i'm getting this..

www.alpharev.nl download a HBOOT and flash it through fastboot. Just make sure to check MD5 (you need a MD5 utility AFAIK)

I'm not sure which one is the right one for my ROM, i'm using LeeDroid.. Sorry for all the questions!

For any sense UI ROMs you would use the Sense HBOOT, remember to nandroid backup before you do so! because you might find that you get a bootloop after flashing the HBOOT.
And don't worry about asking questions! it's what we're all here for.
By the way if you don't know what different HBOOTs do: they change the partition sizes for /system /cache and /data. So by using a different HBOOT instead of the stock one you may get more storage for apps etc. if you choose one with a larger /data partition.... if that makes sense

Ok the sense one it is =)
Ah i see! Thanks for explaining cos underneath the nerd in me would have been wondering what it did lol.
Not sure how to get a nandroid done when i can't get into recovery though

I still havn't got anywhere with my problem, if anyone could advise me further i'd really appreciate it, as this is really stressing me out now.
The only screen i can still ever see is a frozen alpharev screen, and i still can't enter recovery. I've cleared everything using fastboot commander and flashed a new recovery which did nothing. Then i took the next advice and flashed a new hboot. The hboot has changed on my hboot menu (vol down + power) but still goes to the frozen alpharev screen when i try to go to recovery or turn the phone on. I then flashed a LeeDroid rom, which came up with an error at the end of it..
"sending 'zip' (173060 KB)... OKAY [ 23.469s]
writing 'zip'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
And that's as far as i've got.
Reading further i've been trying to work out how to flash a stock ruu to see if that works. However my phone was a branded Orange UK phone before so there is no ruu for that. So my question is, bearing in mind i can't get into the phone at all, how can i go about downgrading the hboot and installing a htc stock ruu. Can anyone point me to the right files i would need. I really don't know what i'm doing and i think the amount of searching i've been doing is just confusing me further

Hi.
As I can see the only way to restore is using a RUU to go back to stock then root and S-Off the phone again.
First: Preparation.
1. If you have a custom HBOOT (e.g.: 6.93.0001) you need first to flash the HBOOT Downgrader (found on alpharev site), then flash the RUU.
2. You will gonna need a Gold Card if your phone was branded.
Second: Starting
1. Make your Gold Card using someone's else phone (it has to be running Android) - the Gold Card is unique per SD Card, not per phone.
2. Use this tool to make the Gold Card: HERE
3. Guide how to make a Gold Card in Linux: HERE
4. get the latest RUU WWE 2.29.405.5. Extract the PB99IMG.zip file from the RUU: here it is how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 -2nd post.
5. Reboot in bootloader (Volume-Down + Power)
7. Select fastboot
8. Flash the HBOOT Downgrader (don't forget to check the MD5 of the file you have downloaded from alpharev)
9. Extract the PB99IMG.zip and put it on root of SD Card.
10. Reboot in bootloader (scroll to REBOOT and select)
11. It will automatically load the img and ask you if you want to install
12. Check Yes and follow onscreen progress.
13. Wait untill it finnishes
14. I think it will reboot itself, if not scroll down to the Reboot obtion and press Power button to select.
IMPORTANT WARNING!!!
droidzone said:
Whatever you do, DO NOT turn off the device manually unless the software tells you to. If something goes wrong, dont switch off phone. Keep the phone on while trying a solution. Newer RUUs dont usually wreck a phone, and with a goldcard, you can always recover. But, the flash SHOULD NOT be interrupted by switching off or disconnecting the cable.
Always start with a battery with >50% power (full recommended).

Or if you want to go to stock and it is an unbranded phone you can just run ur ruu when the phone is in fastboot

Think i may be the happiest girl in the world today lol i finally got it all fixed. I had a bit of trouble making the goldcard as at first my sd card kept saying it needed to be reformatted after, but after formatting it with SD Formatter program rather than Vista's own, it worked. All the rest went without a hitch. Now just gotta root, s-off and grab my new ROM and this past week can all get forgotten about =)
Thankyou so much to everyone that helped!
Incase anyone does read this far, is the procedure still the same as when i first used it back in April.. from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084

It is still the same.

Phone stuck on HTC quietly brilliant

Hey my phone is stuck on the loading screen after i tried to root my phone, if im honest i had no idea what i was doing i was just following a guide i found online and just thought it would all go alright but sadly it went terribly wrong. what i did was unlock the boot loader uses the htc website that the guide directed me to which went smoothly then i went into fastboot mode and ran the file install-insecure-windows from the folder i downloaded called r3-endeavor-insecurebootandroot. my phone restarted and the just froze at the loading screen. i have tried to run recovery and i just get a red triangle and i have also tried a factory reset and that just starts to load and then resets and is still stuck on the loading screen.
my HBOOT-1.39.0000
version-main: 3.14.401.31
Ive looked around alot for solutions to my problem but not found one that works.
I really need help but if im honest i dont know alot about what im doing and i know i should have just left it all alone
any help would be greatly appreciated

Relock your bootloader by fastboot oem lock
Download this file and run it with administrative rights - http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...-r-radio-5120416229-release-302015-signedexe/
You'll be back to stock.

Since you have already unlocked your bootloader, you can try installing a custom recovery Like CWM or TWRP. You can then download any custom rom posted in the xda thread and flash it. I personally recommend ViperX. Your phone will be better than ever. It seems like you are new to this so if you need my help flashing then simply ask.
You can also follow the instructions on torxx detailed thread

well i had alook at the tutorial and i managed to use the fastboot flash recovery and it seemed to work in cmd as it said
writing 'recovery'... INFOFormat partition SOS done.

The recovery will start after the HTC screen. In the recovery, press install and select whichever zip you want to flash.

Maybe a bad download?
Try downloading again. If it still doesn't work, try a different recovery. Personally, I used TWRP while rooting.

If redownloading doesn't fix it.. use this SuperSU.zip

ahh you are golden ! that was exactly right i went and found another copy of super user and it downloaded perfectly thank you
just trying to install the viperX rom now see how this goes

am i right in thinking that once i have downloaded the viperX i just place it on my sdcard the same way i did the superuser and then just install it the same way from the recovery?

Yes... However, you have to flash the boot.img from fastboot..
and before installing the rom.zip.. you have to wipe data/cache/dalvic from recovery.... Or use Super Wipe script : http://d-h.st/kG0

I think I have found a workaround for your problem.
If you have installed TWRP recovery then you will notice that their is a check box labeled 'toggle signature verification'. Make sure it is unchecked(whichever works).
If this works then great.
Otherwise I suggest that you download a custom ROM and flash it.(My personal suggestion)
Everything will be fine. Don't worry.
Steps are as follows-
•Download the ROM you want to flash
•Open the ROM zip with an archive manager and extract the boot.img file out of it and place it in your fastboot directory
•Copy the ROM to your sdcard
•Now boot into bootloader and choose recovery with your volume keys and power button
•In recovery wipe data and cache, dalvik cache, factory reset,etc
•Now flash your ROM by installing zip from sdcard
•If this is finished, reboot and reboot into bootloader again
•Connect your phone to your PC in fasboot mode (choose in bootloader with power button)
•Open a cmd in your fastboot folder with your boot.img and type these two commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then simply reboot your phone.
You can download ROMs from the development section.
PM me if you encounter any problems or need any help.

Finally
i got superuser from another source which worked like a dream and got it installed at last, then managed to flash the boot.img in the fastboot. then deleted all the data/cashe and installed venomX can finally turn on my phone after 3 days
thank you all so much for the help its been all really appreciated dont know what i would have done with out it
