WOOOOOOOOW a desire rom for an evo
What country has a keyboard with the letters 'n' and 'd' next to each other?
"Leard" and "androin"?
Download a rom from this forum and install that (try Fresh). You got a rom for the wrong phone.
Questions go in what section? Development? NO.

wrong forums....q/a is a couple above this thread
Good thing the file you flashed didn't have a radio or you'd likely be the proud owner of a shiny brick. Go here and flash one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712695
I'm guessing you're stuck at the boot screen because your boot.img is for the Desire and not the Evo.
thanks guys sorry my first post .

Hello everyone, I just got a problem last night. I tried to permroot my G2 using Visionary+ and once it rebooted it got stuck on the HTC loadup screen. I have done a factory reset and have gone into recovery mode but when I do go into recovery mode, I get a droid phone with an exclamation mark in the middle and it just stays there.
I don't know many details about the phone other than what I can tell you from the HBOOT menu, I'd rather avoid sending it back in for a warranty repair unless I can just get to the normal screen where I can unroot it, I don't care who you are I just need help on what to do because I have no idea :\
Thanks guys, you're my last hope >:|
First off, this is why you DO NOT use visionary. Well documented to brick phones:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025135
You can start off trying to recover your brick by looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842495
You might as well have written that in chinese, I have no idea what any of this means. it's S-ON and it won't go into recovery mode.
Walk me through what I need to do..? :\
So I had a thought, if I could use a friends Android which, Idk the model to, but could I just uninstall Visionary from there? Would that do anything at all?

You cant really uninstall visionary if you cant even boot up your phone. Right now the rom is corrupted and you need to follow an unbricking guide like the one mentioned above

What are you talking about? Connecting your phone to your friend's phone? It doesn't work that way.
Alright everyone, I called T-Mobile and I'm having a new phone by tomorrow, there's nothing I can do as, I have no idea how to fix my corrupted ROM,
I tried following the unbricking guide but I can't so much as get my phone detected by my computer to even do anything with it.
And another noob bites the dust

You really need to research before you try to root your phone. Like a lot of research.
and when you brick it, you need to research to try and un-brick it. This stuff is easy, but its tedious, and if you're not ready to deal with hours of trying to fix your phone, you shouldn't been rushing into rooting.
All of the info is in that thread. Dozens of people have followed it and recovered their semi-brick.

Agree with everything you said. One click roots can be dangerous and tempting, as they lure people to an easy method, without having to learn the basics . . . and that's how the trouble starts. Especially when the one click root method is known to result in possible semi bricks.
If anybody wonders why HTC tried going to locked bootloaders, or constantly trying to increase the security against rooting, situations like this is why. People not wanting to make an effort to root by proper methods, or fix their mistakes, and claiming a "warranty issue".
Hello, all i am quite new here. I have a kindle that i have successfully moded to ICS but i am having difficulty trying to load a different recovery option for the evo 4g

What recovery are you trying to install? the -eng is unfamiliar to me.

Did you press volume up to confirm the update?
Just make sure you rename the recovery file to PC36IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, boot into bootloader, them press volume up to accept the update.
Hope this helped!

What is that "-eng" at the end of the op's PC36IMG? I've never seen that?!
It means English...no seriously it means English
You must mean unlocked. If you had rooted, you would already have a custom recovery because you flash from custom recovery to root

But---English??!! English what tho?
Some updates are regional, it happens but I've never seen it on with HTC. I've mostly seen it with Huawei and a few international phones that are for a specific region, think of it as a language pack on windows
gbdavidx you should read my guide Don't Panic, it has all the info you need. The link is in my sig

Good to know...I just wonder what recovery the op is trying to install? I thought all recoveries installed via hboot just had to be renamed PC36IMG.zip...whether it be Amon, Smelkus etc....
Thanks for the answer tho!:good:

And I just looked at your "Don't Panic" link...that is AWESOME info...I'll read more tomorrow...VERY informative...that should be stickied in this forum also (saw it was in the Evo LTE forum, but most, if not all applies to the OG Evo eh?):good::good::good: I bookmarked it!
Yeah it does, HTC has pretty much the same boot loader for these phones just different variations. I'm so tired I clicked into the wrong forums lol

Well, your tiredness led to me being more informed and I appreciate it...(btw the last couple sentences in that guide---HI-LARIOUS!)
Now, go to bed:silly:
I left to computer to hit the head and my gf added those last 2, I went ahead and left then there. She's absolutely brilliant!
Edit: I've been out of the game for about a year and a half but most of the relevant knowledge is there in regards to HTC Unlock method. It was originally more of a universal guide. I started aiming it towards LTE users since thats what I have now. You guys are free to take my guide and tailor it to the Evo 4G. I would love to do it myself, but like I said I've been out for a year and a half and trying to play catch up with a device I no longer even own will be very frustrating lol
Edit: the fact that I can even write a guide that applies to such a broad range like htc is because understanding the theory helps. Half of that guide could easily apply to Motorola, Samsung, lg. But like I said I began to aim it towards the EVOLTE
Hey Everyone!
I've been trying to fix this problem for hours with no luck, and while I've found solutions that have worked for others I can't find one that is specific enough to my situation.
So I just got an HTC One X that is locked to Rogers today from Kijiji, and I love it - great phone. The thing I didn't like was the hoard of stock apps that took up about four pages on the app drawer, so I thought hey, I'll root it and delete them. I didn't have any intention of using any custom ROMs, just wanted superuser permission to delete stock apps. Unlocking went fine (finding the token and what not using the app I found on here), and the rooting seemed to go alright until it turned off and didn't start again. I pulled out the cable from the computer and now things are weird..
I can sometimes get into the hboot, but when I try to just start the phone normally it goes to the HTC splash screen and has red writing telling me "this build is for development purposes only", etc etc. I really wanted to get rid of those stock apps but at this point I just want my phone working again. Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance.
Re:
Little update: I just figured out how to re-lock it assuming that might make my factory reset work.. it didn't.

Try here.
You may be in the wrong forum, this is for Tegra3 One X. I'm not sure though so don't quote me on it.
Re:
Hmm I didn't see a Rogers specific one so I wasn't sure. As for the link you posted it might have worked but a don't have a TWRP backup? I didn't think it was necessary to make a backup as I wasn't even trying to flash a custom ROM, just get myself superuser permission.

You haven't bricked your HOX yet. I would look into getting a recovery on to it, from there you'll be able to flash a RUU to get back to where you started. Make sure you get the right instructions for your phone though.
You might get some info here
Re:
Thanks! I'm trying to find the RUU for my phone. I've found the one for the AT&T version with LTE, but mine is the one without it. Will the same RUU work? Thanks
Don't flash anything from here!! You are in the wrong forum m8!

So, I previously had an optimus v, which is like the easiest phone to root and get roms for and what not. Well i was hoping that the One V would be the same, it was not.
So I tried to install some rom that i liked after going through the unlocking and rooting process,and it had a restarting problem where every 5-15 seconds after it would boot it would restart. I found a solution (kind of) to that but most of the links where dead so i had to find them on my own. It led me to putting a custom kernel on it and that did not fix it, so i saw something that getting the OTA update that came out a while ago could cause this, and the only way to return it was to use RUU (i still had a custom kernel at this point, i think) so i got the (hopefully) correct recovery.img from RUU and i flashed that and the next step is to relock the device, so i did via command prompt, and i started RUU up again and it was doing its thing and ended in an error 155. I have tried several times and it has still not worked. I found some stuff saying that the HBOOT i have which is 1.57 doesnt have a supported RUU or something to that effect ( i found lots of conflicting information).
So now i am stuck with a phone that only goes to the bootloader menu and because its relocked i cant flash anything to it.
I have tried fastboot oem unlock and that came up with a command error, and everything else i try to flash just fails.
Any help is welcome and a thank you in advance to anyone that helps.

You should be able to flash a stock RUU for your device while it's in the bootloader menu from here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Primo
make sure to download the correct RUU for your carrier/radio band and if its GSM (PRIMOU) or CDMA (PRIMOC), or you can screw it up more.
What network carrier are you with?
EDIT:, Just re-read your post, sorry. I don't know if anyone has posted a RUU for the updated radio, that Virgin Mobile released, you may need to get ahold of Football on this forum and see if he's still helping find/sell RUU's that you need.
Back in the day I had to get ahold of him to get the RUU for my phone that wasn't listed on any RUU site.

I don't really know about buying RUU's, that's like blackberry with their pay to unlock the imei thing. although if it saves me from having to buy a new phone ill consider it.

I paid like $13 for mine, but it gave me piece of mind should the phone ever soft brick or hard brick with boot, that I can recover it and not lose a phone. I don't know if he's even around anymore, but I posted a thread in general asking if he was. I am on Alltel, but one of my family members bought an HTC One V with the updated radio, so for her I couldn't do anything but root. I know there are a few new radio friendly ROM's in the CDMA section of this forum that would of boot with a custom rom and the kernel.

yeah i found some ROM's that will work only after this happened. In my research i found something about downgrading HBOOT i only saw it on other phones and it did not look like something i wanted to mess with. And my HTC One V is CDMA on Virgin Mobile.

UPDATE: So i figured it out, I went and i reflashed the Unlock_code.bin file and now its back to unlocked again. Thanks to FreakyFreakGA to doing his best to help me out.
Be sure to flash an OTA-compatible ROM. Try RhythmicROM or CyanPrimo, both of which I've used for a long time and can attest that they are better HTC One V ROMs.

I never tried to go back to stock, I'm running rhythmic ROM, can't link right now but it seems to work pretty well, its slightly faster than stock when all my stuff is on there and the only problem so far is sometimes when you lock the device and then quickly unlock it then it will freeze and restart.

Yeah I just flashed Rhythmic. Seems pretty nice by my wifi is having some weird authentication problem. It doesn't seem like there are very many ROMs out there that would work though.

Yeah, make sure you find the right version for your radio, virgin mobile made a terrible move by updating it so you cant do much with it.
Or kernel or something, anyways mine was v5.2 and it was a pain, i think there was a lot more kernels available for older versions.
Best of luck, and if you are having problems with authentication then try using WPS, in some cases it fixes those types of problems.
