Most likely bricked EVO 4g

I have officialy given up on repairing my phone. Looks like it's not possible to fix this thing. Just spent the better part of 3 pays (4hours of sleep a night) trying to get my phone fixed. My sister bought this EVO through some work deal and gave me it on Christmas. I rooted it that night, and bricked it 30mins later, because of the newer partition scheme it is currently impossible to get this phone back working...
This is what I have now. A EVO 4G that boots normally to this screen. ftp://eto.homeip.net/shared/IMAG0003.jpg
A Vol Down + Power Boot boots to this screen. ftp://eto.homeip.net/shared/IMAG0004.jpg
I can also navigate to this screen. ftp://eto.homeip.net/shared/IMAG0005.jpg
Because of the S-OFF it is obvious to those in the know that I rooted my phone.
I'm just wondering if you guys think this scenaro will work.
_________________________________________________________________
Walk into a Sprint Repair Store, tell them my sister just bought the phone new (about a week ago) and gave it to me as a X-Mas gift. I chose to do the latest OTA-Update, and after it stopped booting and only went to this screen. ftp://eto.homeip.net/shared/IMAG0003.jpg
Where I'd have to pull the battery to turn it off.
They will probably try VolDown+Power and might comment on S-OFF (which I will say I don't know what that is).
Hope they give me a new/refurbished EVO for free or less then $50.
===============================
Questions
* Should I go to a Sprint Store I've never been to? (There are stores within 20miles of me) (Closest knows I root phones, then other I've been into a bunch of times and may have given up on me)
* Should I get the receipt from my sister, who I don't want to tell I rooted/bricked phone
* Also please give me suggestions of anything that will help
BTW
* Am well within 30days of buying phone, though I'm not sure if my sister bought it through Sprint or not (Think she did though)
* I have pin/name/number on account and can easily activate a different phone they give me.
* Would rather not tell my sister or even get the receipt from her room to keep her from suspecting anything, but can if need be
Thanks for your suggestions, wanted to get this done by the end of the week before I head back down to San Luis Obispo for college. (Where there are fewer Sprint Stores to spam)

The Good news: If you're screen is turning on (using ANY method) you're Evo isn't bricked.
The Bad news: I don't know what you did. I would suggest trying the unroot method and seeing if you can get yourself out of this pickle that way. My first rooitng experience everything went horribly array, and I ended up just accepting an OTA to get out of it.

Pick which ever one you like and put it on the root of the sdcard. I couldnt tell you because if you didnt record what software you started with niether could I.

What do you mean record what software I started with? I had 2.02, now have 0.76 (But my screen says 2.10). I've tried both the exe and the PC36IMG.zip that you've linked.
Using .exe gives me a Error 170 (Not recognizing my phone is plugged in)
Putting PC36IMG.zip on sd and using hboot gives me Failed-PU, Partition Update Fail! for every category but Radio_V2. BTW I'm supposed to use the first two files from that link

Well what I did was messup the way it sees my partition. I have a nwer partition scheme i believe but the 0.76 software thinks I have the older partition settup.
If you mean unroot method from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045 the one I rooted with then I can't do it cause I have no recovery. I can't get to it cause bad partition settup.

I know I can run fastboot erase commands, do you guys think I should run
Code:
fastboot erase boot
to create an unbootable system. One that doesn't even have the screen turn on?
*Which if any partition can I delete in order to never have the phone even turn the screen on?
Here's the choices (wimax, misc, recovery, boot, system, cache, userdata)

if your getting error 170, the RUU can't communicate with the phone.\
Can you get Hboot USb on? IF so, the RUU may run with it.
Drivers installed on computer?
Otherwise, you mave have blown out USB port, like I did.
Try putting the RUU, rom.zip (rename rom.zip to PC36IMG.zip) to your sd card, and see if that saves your a$$.
If that don't work, better run it over with a car or something and take it back.

The good news is you are still in your 30 day warranty. The solution I would suggest is try to flash the bootloader back to hboot 2.10. I would find a pc36 with 2.10 and flash away. Maybe even fastboot erase every partition except boot and hboot first. Don't do radio or wimax either or it will brick your radio and wimax. Then flash a full pc36. Other than that, manually brick. I would erase hboot and boot to brick.
Good luck

If you erase boot.img, it will still go to hboot. Erase the touchpanel image. That way they cant see it. By the time your phone gets to its repair destination, "they" wont be looking for that type of thing. They will just repartition. Also, it wont let you erase hboot

What error are you seeing when you select recovery from the bootloader menu?
The RUU that you tried, what version was it? You MUST use the 3.70.651.1 RUU because your phone thinks you are on hboot 2.10. Do not try an older RUU.
--------------------------------
Try the following
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE
4) Once in recovery, flash HBoot 2.10 zip
6) Now try RUU 3.70.651.1
-----------------------------------------------
If that does not work then try the following:
1) Download the img file for the modified Amon_Ra Recovery
2) Put evo-test.img on the root of your sdcard
3) Put the phone in fastboot mode
4) fastboot boot evo-test.img
5) Once in recovery, flash HBoot 2.10 zip
6) Now try RUU 3.70.651.1

Update
thanks to some help I have gotten farther on this issue. Can get past USB Erro 170. Now get to Error 171 when trying to flash image. When i run RUU.exe it tries flashes then reboots into stuck image of 3 androids skating. Which I alwasy need to battery pull to fix. Heres the log

But if you can't flash a RUU.exe, then you can probably flash a zip file of a ROM.
This can or be or is not correct, I am just curious how this well happened to you.

nope tried flashing ROM through hboot, fastboot... Tried 'fastboot erase boot' didn't do anything. I'm gonna update the OP on the current situation, giving up...

Are you able to use the bootloader to flash only the custom recovery amon RA zip? If you can get into custom recovery you will be fine. Once in recovery you can flash hboot radio etc 1 at a time with a reboot in between each flash. After that you can flash a custom rom and be happy.

i think he said multiple times that he was totally screwed and his partitions were messed up so he either needs a total memory reflash or god's private java code

Can't flash through bootloader. Get Fail-PU
Which is a Partition Update Error

Did I just brick my phone? Help needed

So I've been having a lot of issues lately with my connectivity. My process of troubleshooting involved updating my radios (as suggested in the deckmod instructions), and also updating the PRL.
However, when I attempted to flash new radios, the update took. After the device initially rebooted after applying the update - it just sat at the HTC Evo 4G white boot screen. It won't go anywhere.
I tried booting into recovery, but again it just sits at that white "HTC EVO 4G" screen.
I used the file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
I've had it sit for about a half hour, and nothing. So, I'm guessing the file itself was corrupted.
Luckily I can still get into the bootloader - can I just try and redownload the file?

See if the info in your Hboot shows the new radio version, for one. If you're getting to the white screen, you're not bricked. Try reflashing recovery via the pc36img. And I'd suggest Amon Ra. if you can get into recovery after that, clear Dalvik & Cache, and try to boot.
If nothing, go back to recovery, wipe everything but the SD Card and reflash your ROM

Radio does not look like it is updated. Tried reflashing amon-ra and had no success at all. The phone still freezes at the white htcEVO 4G screen that appears immediately after pressing the power button or trying to load recovery.
Just cleared storage from the bootloader, will try reflashing the rom. I'm just concerned about the fact I can't get into recovery at all.

Ok, still can't get into recovery. I tried copying the ROM to the sd card as PC36IMG.zip and the bootloader does nothing with it... I'm kind of stuck. Anyone have any other ideas?

Which bootloader version do you have? I think in that same thread, there're links to reflash the bootloaders, too. You may want to see if you can do that, although it seems like flashing anything isn't working out.
Another thing, is to try the pc version of the RUU for your phone, if nothing will flash in bootloader

How can I flash the bootloader without being able to access recovery? The PC version requires my phone to be on, so unless fastboot will work, I'm not sure how well it'll work but at this point I will try anything.
EDIT: Holy crap, the RUU is working. When i tried the first few times while at the bootloader screen that it couldn't find my phone. So I put the phone into fastboot, and voila, the RUU saw it. Its updating now. I'll look at re-rooting it later today. Thank you so much for your help HipKat.

If you rooted with unrevoked3 or flashed unrevoked forever as part of your root process, you should remain s-off. You can just reflash your recovery and restore a backup or flash a rom.
Glad you got the phone working!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

You beat me to it. With Hboot 2.10, he had to have used Unrevoked, so he'll still be S-Off.
Glad it worked. I was gonna say put 'er in fastboot to run RUU, but you figured it out.

[Q] Help with soft birck

The incredible will go into hboot but the recovery, factory reset, clear storage all send it into a boot loop. It is S-off and should have cwm (the root was done by unrevoked) but I cant get it into recovery mode to fix the problem. the up vol + power will cause it to vibrate 3 times but the screen stays black.
I am use to samsung phones where I can just odin it back to stock but have little experience with Htc. Any help on reverting it back to stock or just help me get into recovery so i can flash a custom rom would be great. thanks
btw
hboot is .92
Radio 2.15.00.07.28

If you are s-off I would first try reflashing cwm thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip
Here is the CWM 5.0.2.0 PB31IMG.zip
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
Just place it on the root of your sd and then boot into hboot (hold vol down and power) it should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. If that works then install the su binary found below thru recovery.
http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip

thanks for the quick reply after updating with the PB3 file it still wont go into recovery mode, just the boot loop. any other ideas?

I would say your next step would be to do an ruu of froyo 2.2 wich you can fiNd here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/3.26.605.1/PB31IMG.zip and if that dosent work I would try an ruu exe with your pc.

Thanks for your quick response, this phone is wack! I ran the ruu exe from my pc it did its thing and successfully updated the Rom but to my surprise when it rebooted it was stuck in a boot loop!

I had a similar problem a few days ago, and the only solution I found was to update CWM through RomManager. I'm thinking that the problem may have been caused by RomManager in the first place, which is why this is the only method that worked for getting CWM working.

You could try flashing an older version of cwm like 3.0.0.8 thru hboot. Mabey cwm 5 is whats causing your troubles. Or try flashing amon ra recovery.
Cwm 3.0.0.8
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_3.0.0.8/PB31IMG.zip
Amon_ra 3.02
http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/AmonRA_3.02/PB31IMG.zip

I flashed both recovery's, also an ruu of a stock rom, and I also tried doing an ruu exe through the computer. all of them succeeded but in every case I am still stuck in a boot loop and cant get the phone to boot up

Can you get into recovery yet or are the hboot options still not working?
Mabey your hboot got corrupted somehow you can try reflashing it.
hboot 0.92
http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_0.92/PB31IMG.zip
Then try flashing a recovery again and see if you can get into it.

None of the hboot options work. I have flashed all the files you have given me. and I have done the ruu exe of both froyo and gingerbread. they all say they have completed successfully but nothing has fixed the problem. Still cant get into recovery and it wont but up at all. Im not sure what else it could be

Im not sure then if none of those options work im at a loss of what else you could do. Mabey someone with more experince can chime in with some other options. Have you tried reformating your sdcard or using a different one? Thats the only other thing I can think of.

When you say "flashing" are you literally flashing these .zip files in CWM or are you renaming these files to PB31IMG.zip and installing thru HBOOT? There is a difference between the two.

He cant get into recovery thats one of the issues.

ya i guess not flashing just running the PB31 file in hboot. I think im done working with it though. Im doing it for some guy who tried flashing it from verizon to another carrier but it didnt work and it only goes into hboot now. but thanks for all your help especially cmlusco. I'm still open for ideas but It's not going to my priority anymore. I learned a lot about htc phones if anything

So the OP is S Off and can't flash the PB CWM file in HBOOT? Ccould be a bad file too. Make are you are checking md 5s

He can flash any PB31IMG file sucessfully but the phone will not boot and selecting any of the options in hboot leads him to a splash bootloop, and requires a battery pull. It's all above.

I have flashed the pb CWM file no luck and also the other recovery (cant remember the name)
I also tried flashing th pb hboot file no luck
I flashed the pb ruu froyo no luck and also gb no luck
i then tried doing it through my computer using stock froyo exe and also a gb one with no luck (In every case the phone said it was "successful" in updating the roms and/or the recoverys)
But nothing ever changes it will only boot into hboot but nothing works in the hboot everything just sends it into a boot loop on the white htc screen

Thats probably the issue it was attempted to be switched to another carrier wich is a fairly complicated process. He may have changed some settings below rom level that cant be fixed by flashing an ruu. Im not sure if there is a fix with qpst or not but if there is I have no clue how to do it.

Been seeing some odd issues lately. I had a problem, and it would just go to a black screen and vibrate five times.
If the USB was plugged in to my PC, it would boot and operate fine, as soon as I unplugged it, it would crash again.
Check this out, it may be related.

I've been having almost this exact problem and have been working on it since 5:30 last night. As my phone is also my modem, I am currently at the library on wifi... FML.
The only difference is that I did not try to switch carriers, I was just using my phone normally and then yesterday morning I had a bunch of FCs, and yesterday evenings began the boot loops when I unlocked to make a phone call, again, FML.
The timing is very bad, only about two weeks till my new-every-two. Please help, I need my phone and don't really have the money to spare for a new one.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Stuck on cyanogenmod boot loop and no clockwork recovery...

Ok so here's the deal I have been working on this STUPID Incredible for a buddy of mine for like the last 4 hours trying to fix his boot loop issue. I have scoured the internet looking for a way to fix this problem and downloaded countless *.img and *.zip files and who knows what else...
[EDIT] Also if I reboot to bootloader (either through adb fastboot or through the phone (VOL (-) + POWER) adb can't find the phone I can only access the phone when it's actually trying to boot up
[THE ISSUE]​
The phone boots up shows the white htc incredible screen than proceeds to boot into cyanogenmod 7.blah.blah.blah (don't know the exact version it's from a couple months ago) and than just continuously shows the skateboard dude and doesn't proceed past that point.
When I reboot the phone and load up the bootloader it runs fine and than when I try to do the recovery option it will vibrate for a second show the htc incredible screen and than show the fastboot usb options (bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down) and if I select reboot it just reboots to the same problem.
If I choose Factory Reset it goes to the fastboot usb menu but I can't choose any of the options and it just sits there, I actually have to do a battery pull in order to do anything.
I know that clockword mod was installed on this phone but I can't access it by any means.
I hooked the phone up to my computer and loaded up adb (which is installed correctly as I've used it on my phone and the htc drivers are installed correctly) if I try to access my internal sd card through an adb shell it doesn't list anything and I have root in the shell (#) and if I try to cd to sd-ext it says "can't cd to sd-ext) so I can put something on the cards and load them up (as far as I know) to get the recovery working or anything...
adb does see the phone sees the files on the phone I can do a adb reboot it and that works fine.

Ok so that got longer than I thought it would be (whoops) I hope I explained this well enough for everyone and didn't make it to confusing. I don't care if I have to go back to stock or what I just need to get this phone up and running again...
Thanks for reading this horribly long thread and for any feedback you have!

Sounds like something is borked with your install, and your recovery has vamooshed. Yes, those are the technical terms for it. Try an RUU.
http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22
That will give you stock everything, including recovery, you just have to flash CWM, then in CWM wipe everything (wipe data/factory reset, wipe boot, wipe system), then flash a ROM.

Edit: try Pons' method first.
First, the phone isn't stupid...it's Incredible. I mean seriously /s
Can you reformat the sd card, download CWM to the root of your sd card, then install CWM through hboot that way?
CWM is available from pvillecomp.com, download the file under the heading "Recoveries" and rename it to: PB31IMG.zip
Couple questions:
What started the bootloop issue? What steps have you taken to try resolving this issue?

CWM Boot Loop - Unable to access via Odin/ADB
I have the boot loader problem too... Last night, for no apparent reason, my phone turned off and didn't want to come back on again. I didn't change anything, plug it into anything, or do anything fancy, it just turned itself off and now it's stuck in a boot loop.
It boots into download mode okay, but I can't get it into recovery.

Win here too!
i bricked my phone running cm7 also and had the exact same problems right down to the T. ...SO!, that program that i installed on my computer took complete control of the phone and reset the rom. this is a wonderful piece of software. if you have an incredible download this program and dont worry about bricking your phone again.

how to obtain s-on now?
After I used the program from the website in the previous post, it brought me back to stock Rom and everything. Now it's still s-off, but I can't get into cwm, just hboot. My main goal is just to get this back to stock (unrooted and s-on). Can someone please explain how I go about doing this? I can get.any info needed ie. Radio etc.
Problem right now is in order to get into the phone I have to do the entire setup which includes activating it,which I cannot do.
Thank you guys much for this useful info.

Why do you want it unrooted and s-on? All you need to do is flash cwm recovery http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot. From there you can flash superuser http://dinc.does-it.net/Superuser/SuperUser_3.1.1.zip and be rooted if so desired. If you really want s-on and stock you need to flash cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot, flash the 2.15.00.07.28 radio http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/2.15.00.07.28/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot, and then flash the unrevoked s-on patch http://dinc.does-it.net/Unrevoked/unrevoked-forever-son.zip thru recovery. Once s-on flash a official ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot and you will be stock s-on. Also if you want to bypass the activation just cancel it 3 or 4 times and it will let you skip it.

Tapping each corner going clockwise, starting in the top left, is an easier way to skip the setup.

thanks
Thanks guys. I ended up calling customer service and they got me past the activate screen. From there I re rooted the phone so I could use cwm recovery again and flash s-on then unrooted it and all is good now. Thanks

[Q] Evo4g Reboot Loop can't start recovery

I know there are a million threads about this but I haven't found the right files to work with what I have.
My Evo4g has:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 2.10.001
RADIO 2.15.00.11.19
Two nights ago after I plugged in my phone to charge for the night it randomly rebooted and has been stuck rebooting on the HTC splash screen. If I try to go into recovery it goes to the same splash screen, goes black, back to the splash screen, etc.
I've tried to flash a new recovery but when I try to fastboot I get a failed message and I think it's because the recovery file I have may be for a different radio/hboot combo.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

Update.... still no success
I tried to do a complete reset on the phone by taking out the SD Card, coping over the PC36IMG.zip file I used when I first rooted the pone and doing the update. The update completed successfully but the phone is still stuck in the reboot cycle, even in recovery mode. This is the thread I followed when I first rooted my phone earlier this year howtoroothtcevo235withbootloader218.blogspot.com/2012/05/this-is-my-guide-on-how-to-achieve-s.html
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Right now I'm stuck and don't know what else to try.

Try a newer PC36IMG.zip, like the 4.54.651.1.

Thanks for the idea. I've tried "PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed" which changed my HBoot to 2.16.0001 but the phone is still stuck in the boot loop and I can't get into recovery.
My current system stats are:
HBoot 2.16.0001
Radio 2.15.00.0808
UPDATE:
So, I think I may be out of luck. From what I've been reading around the forums, if what I've tried doesn't work then the phone most likely has a hardware issue and is dead. I'm going to get a new phone but if someone has any ideas I'd love to resurrect this one.
