PC36IMG.zip recovery help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok how do i install this recovery =
Install
Using fastboot (using .img)
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recoveryname>.img
Using bootloader (using .zip)
Rename file to 'PC36IMG.zip' and place on root of sd card, reboot to bootloader, allow bootloader to scan, volume up to accept update
i put the zip on my sd card then i go to install zip but i get the installation aborted in sdk i get the # so that means i rooted right.?? it says s-off

When using a PC36IMG file you flash it in the bootlooader. Bootloader != recovery.
Bootloader, hold vol +down and power, till you see the white screen with androids skate boarding. It'll scan, then press the vol up to install the recovery.

it does scan but the quick message says no img found??

The file name is PC36IMG.zip not PC36IMG.zip.zip, correct? That is common error.

What am I doing wrong? Loading baconbits.

So I perm rooted and it says S-Off in fastboot and I have superuser access I believe.
I got rom manager and downloaded clockwork through rm. I try to install rom from SD card, select the baconbits rom, it asks to backup or clear, I have tried both.
The phone boots to htc screen, then shows a black screen with a phone and a red symbol over it. I waited 20 minutes on that screen and nothing happened.
I was able to push vol up and power to get a console but I can't load anything there. It will reboot just fine after that but I have no changes and still cannot overclock.
Does this have something to do with the user keys or whatever?
Thanks in advance for reading this and any help that gets offered. I hate to have my first post on a forum being a "help me" post.

Go into Rom Manager and try to flash Clockwork recovery again. This has happened to a lot of people... Flash it a second time, and it should be good.

Did you download the "g2-recovery-test-keys.img" from the 3rd post quoted below?
Place that file in the C:/android/tools or whatever your cd line is, which should in the tools folder. Now go the 6th step. FYI the sixth step I tried from fastboot and recovery, none worked until I reinstalled the drivers my computer kept prompting me for and immedatly got the OKAY's from the 7th step.
Edit: The code "fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img" should be copied pasted onto your cmd.

Noob walkthrough:
1.Setup Android SDK and install drivers/udev rules as needed
2. S-Off your g2 http://goo.gl/Sc134
4. Copy vision-baconbits-0.3.zip to your sdcard, rename it update.zip (you can do this via adb using: adb push vision-baconbits-0.3.zip /sdcard/update.zip)
5. Reboot to fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader)
6. Flash the recovery http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/vision/g2-recovery-test-keys.img : fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img (if you get 'waiting for device' your phone either isnt in fastboot mode, or you will need to fix your sdk drivers)
7. You should get two 'OKAY's once recovery flash is complete
8. Press the power button once; then the vol down button to highlight 'recovery'; then the power button again to select the 'recovery' option
9. The phone will reboot to recovery
10. Press volume up+power to show the recovery menu
11. Select the 'Apply:update.zip' option, using volume keys to navigate, and power button as [enter]
12. Once the zip applies, reboot
If you get signature verification errors on the zip, it means your fastboot flash of recovery failed to apply, redo it

Bingo, That worked. Glad it was that simple. I actually had to flash clockwork a third time to get it to go all the way.

[Q] Incredible won't boot into Clockwork

Alright, I have been searching around for my problem and I have found no such luck. I am running Evervolv ICS ROM Preview 8 and I noticed they released Preview 9. So I decided to upgrade of course but I came across a snag. My phone just boot's into the stock recovery and not into Clockwork. I have found a similar problem in another forum but I am unable to post the link do the rules of this forum.
The problem being that I cannot turn off FASTBOOT, I have no selection to do so in my phones settings.
Any help at all would be wonderful.

Are you s-off? If so flash cwm recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip
If you can boot into the stock recovery then fastboot is not the issue. If fast boot is enabled holding vol down and power just boots the phone, you will not enter any recovery. The only way to enter recovery with fastboot enabled is to pull the battery truly powering off the phone, fastboot does not power of but hibernates for faster boot.

Yes I am S-OFF, how do I flash through hboot? This does not fully answer my question of why I am unable to boot into Clockwork and how to fix this issue.

Well if you are getting the stock recovery then i assume cwm recovery is not installed. Flashing the file above will install it.
To do so download the file and place it on your sdcard in no folders.
Power off the phone and pull the battery, then reinsert.
Hold vol down and power buttond till a white screen pops up (hboot). Wait a couple secs and hboot will find the file, parse it, and then prompt to press vol up to update. When its donr it will prompt to press vol up to reboot or vol down not to. Press vol down and then scroll to and select recovery. You should now be where you want to be.

I'm sorry I was not clear before, forgive me. Yes Clockwork is installed, I have reflashed it with the current version and older versions to attempt to fix the problem. I tried another recovery as well (One that I cannot recall at the moment) and I still boot into the stock recovery. My main problem is that I cannot boot into Clockwork. I'm sorry again for not being specific before.

No I do not, should I go ahead and get that setup? Before I forget thank you for being patient and helpful this far, I appreciate your help so far.
Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB-Fastboot-USB-Drivers_v4_(x86)(x64).zip, and extract it to C:\. You should now have an ADB folder on the C:\ drive (C:\ADB), which contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Then follow this guide to setup the drivers http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Once that is setup and working download this zip file ( http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/flash_mtd_recovery.zip ), unzip it, and place the 2 files on your sdcard in no folders.
Make sure usb debuging is checked on in menu - settings - applications - development
Power off the phone pull the battery and reinsert. Plug the phone in to the pc and hold vol down and power till hboot comes up. Select fastboot, it should say in red near the top fastboot usb. Then type the folowing in a cmd prompt:
fastboot erase recovery
Once complete reboot the phone.
Set the phone to charge only.
Open a command prompt on your PC and navigate to the same folder as your fastboot.exe file, (example type: cd C:\ADB ).
Type the following into the command prompt pressing the enter key at the end of each line:
adb shell
(You should now get a pound sign #)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Then try to see if you can access cwm recovery.

Sounds like the recovery partition may be corrupt, nothing will write to it. Well if i were you i would do an ruu and see if that fixes it. Not much else you can do i dont think. Hopefully the ruu will fix it and allow you to flash cwm.
How do I go about doing ruu?

Note that doing an ruu will wipe yout phone and you will ne back to stock. If after doing so you still cant get a recovery to flash, you will be stuck on stock.

[Q] DHD stucked on boot logo

Hi all
I have a little trouble with my phone, because I did some stupid things on it...
I had android 2.3.5 with 3.12.405.1
So first I unlocked bootloader with htc-dev page, and now I know I shouldn't do that. Then after I found here a post what describes what should I do if I was noob and use the htc-dev. I followed the instructions so I can use the revolution hd zip and installed it.
After that reboot my phone and stucked on the htc boot logo. I can reach the 4text recovery menu and everything but I have no clue what should I do now. I tried the factory reset and everything what I found. Maybe I have to put back the original rom, but I don't know how to do it.

Hey
Thanks for the help, I'll try it afternoon
I did exactly the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31211732&postcount=396
The procedure to do that is -
1. Download the attached zip file, extract it to Desktop or wherever you want using 7-zip/WinZIP.
2. Open the ROM zip file you downloaded. Extract boot.img from this zip to the previously folder which you just extracted in the above step.
3. Turn your phone completely off (pull out battery). Then hold 'volume down' while pressing power and continue holding it till you see a white screen with 3 green skateboarding Androids. This is the bootloader.
4. FASTBOOT will be the first selected option in the list. Press 'Power' to select it. Make sure that now it shows FASTBOOT in red under the initial green text.
5. Connect your phone to computer. See that the red FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB.
4. Open the adb_fastboot folder, open 'Start here.bat'. It will open a command prompt window in that folder.
5. Type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'. You only need to do this once. It will flash 4ext Touch Recovery, which is better than CWM (thanks to madmaxx82 for the awesome recovery).
6. Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. You will need to do this everytime you flash a custom ROM, but before you do so be sure you've copied the boot.img from the ROM zip to the adb_fastboot folder.
7. You should see some stuff like 'Sending data... data sent successfully'. If there's any error at this step report it here.
8. Once it has done everything and displayed successful confirmations, disconnect phone.
9. Hightlight BOOTLOADER and press 'power' to select it. Press 'volume down' to highlight RECOVERY and 'power' to select it.
10. Once you're rebooted into 4ext Touch Recovery, go to 'install zip from SD card', browse for the ROM zip file in your SD card. If you haven't copied the zip to SD card, go back a step, connect phone to computer, select 'toggle USB storage' and then copy it onto the SD card. Once you have the ROM zip on the sdcard, go to the main screen of the recovery, choose 'wipe/format'->format all partitions (except SD card). Now go back to main screen, choose 'install zip from sdcard' and browse to the ROM zip location, select it and confirm that you want to flash it.
11. When the flash process is done, go back to the main screen of recovery, and press reboot now. You will reboot into the custom ROM.

After reboot I stucked on the htc boot logo screen.
If you are s-on, then you have to flash the boot.img from the rom you installed using fastboot.

Not sure if this'll work, but give it a try.
Place the attaches file in the root of your SD(not inside a folder)
turn the phone off, hold volume down+power and get to bootloader.
wait until it scans the SD.
select yes with volume buttons and press the power button.
It'll install CWM.
Hope this works

Yes I already tried this, when I run fastboot command (fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img)
It says:

I don't know what is going wrong, my phone is rooted and superuser is installed and working fine. I think something wrong with my phone cache folder as it says in stock recovery screen "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" do you have any idea of that?

Need instructions to flash ROM

Need instructions to flash ROM (0P9CIMG_A5_UL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.23.401.1)
Rename to 0P9CIMG.zip and place on root of sd card (External not internal). Make sure your bootloader says LOCKED or you are S-Off, and then boot into HBOOT by turning your phone off and holding down both the power and the volume-down buttons. It should find the zip and ask you to press volume up to update, so do that
