Having trouble with my DHD at the moment.
Tried updating my 4EXT Recovery and now for some reason the phone boots the stock recovery screen. This is the black screen with a picture of a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it.
So I thought the best thing to do would be flash a whole new recovery onto the phone.
I can get in to H-Boot and BootLoader, but am having problems flashing a recovery.
Not the most knowledgeable with this sort of thing tbh, so this is where i need help.
I have tried downloading a version of 4EXT Recovery (not sure if i'm using the right one or not) and a ClockwordMod Recovery, placing on the root of the SD card and renamed to PB99IMG.zip (is this correct?) But the H-boot doesn't install it.
Here are the details i can provide:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 11 2010, 12:47:02
If anyone could tell me what i'm doing wrong or what to use instead it would be a great help!
Try renaming that file to pd98img.zip, reboot into bootloader, and when it asks you if you would like to update with the pd98img file select yes, and see if it works.
Hey Guys
My Story started from 6 days ago when i wanted to change my battery , the device now is keep restarting on White screen ( HTC EVO 4G ) and hangs whenever i press the recovery mode in bootloder menu .
I Almost tried everything and only successfully unlocked the boot loader finally using --->([HowTo] Unlock Bootloader And Root 2.3.5 HBOOT 2.18 ) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755 but no chance to S-OFF the device and replace the whole ROM "
i can't root and downgrade the phone because all "bootloader: 2.18.0001 " methods need either active debugging mode or recovery menu which is not accessible !
i have access only through the fastboot - Hboot USB or SdCard .
I have tried almost all version of RUUs and it failed , says " bootloder version error " or " the main version is older "
PC36IMG Downgrade to the 4.67.651.3 which is last available version from the sd card also failed says " the main version is older "
here is the Fastboot info
INFOversion: 0.5
INFOversion-bootloader: 2.18.0001
INFOversion-baseband: 2.15.00.01.15
INFOversion-cpld: None
INFOversion-microp: 041f
INFOversion-main: 5.07.651.6

INFObuild-mode: SHIP
INFOboot-mode: FASTBOOT
INFOcommitno-bootloader: 4b46e889
INFOhbootpreupdate: 11
INFOgencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
by the way i figure it out that i may be able to trick the htc and change the txt file called android-info.txt inside the PC36IMG for the " Main version is older " ERROR but Unfortunately i have no permission to edit or modify my stock ruu Rom "PC36IMG " that i extracted from last available RUU version for evo4g "RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio _2.1 5.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed" .
Any Idea Please ?

You need to install a custom recovery, which can be done from the bootloader. Search for Smelkusmod recovery here and follow the instructions on how to install it. Afterwards you can install a custom ROM
Edit: Here is the link for Smelkusmod recovery

Once installed, place whatever ROM you want on the root of your SD card. Then you can enter recovery from the bootloader screen and flash the ROM.
I also suggest reading Hipkat's guide which can be found in the link below.

Two things, either you have a bad partition or your recovery is gone. Easiest thing to do would be to load a custom recovery onto the root of your SD card and make sure the file is named PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension or it won't work). Make sure the phone is powered off, then hold down the power down & volume buttons until the bootloader opens up. Hopefully the recovery will load and you'll be prompted to update. Just follow the on-screen instructions. Also, make sure you don't have any other PC36IMG's on your SD card.

many tanks for reply xx . . .the only thing i remember aside the changing the battery was that 1 day before this happen, i removed my sd card to recover some accidentally deleted picture using RecoverMyFiles software from my computer . . . i also tried loading a custom recovery and yes i certainly ensured that the file name is PC36IMG and formatted my SD card before transferring the file . . . i also tried different SD cards ex: 2gb - 4gb - 8g etc ! All those steps you just mentioned is carefully done ! and the result is that the device skip the update from the sd card says : no or wrong image !!
aside that i have upgraded my recovery to" recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic " and "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 " and many other available recoveries through the fastboot since my bootloader is unlocked !
but the thing is nothing is loading after all those updates !!
the only thing got my attention was that when i update those custom recoveries the device would hangs after choosing recovery from the bootloader but if i use the 5.07.651.6 version original recovery the device would keep restarting !!

I just tried the Smelkusmod recovery one more time again from the Sdcard and it load the PC36IMG but hangs on " Parsing...[PC36IMG.zip] "
i was able to loaded it successfully through the fastboot method and the device hangs after i press the recovery from the boot loader menu as i expected
You need to download the .img file, not the PC36IMG.zip
Once you get the .img file, do the following (connected to PC in fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name.img>
The recovery has to be in the same directory as fastboot though

Yep , i've tried " recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic " "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 ""_ra-supersonic-4.2-smelkus-mason " and many more custom recoveries too from the fastboot command ---> ( fastboot flash recovery example.img ) . . . but whatever except the stock recovery image would result to hang the device on recovery mode . . . also it will boot loop on its own stock recovery !
Same Problem!

I purchased an HTC Evo 4G from Ebay and the hardware is perfect. My problem is exact same. Found out this thing has the 5.07 update and there is no RUU to restore it and can't go backwards with S-ON!!! Can't get S-OFF without booting as this thing won't go into recovery or boot at all. I did however **Unlocked** the bootloader and that is as far as I get. I even re-locked it to try all the RUUs! I develop roms for this device so I know what I am doing! Keep getting replies to flash custom recovery which I already tried all of them and unfortunately it will just bootloop instead of recovery. Even tried 'fastboot boot (recovery name) and fastboot flash recovery (revovery name)....Need someone to get into a RUU and modify it to by-pass the firmware version check if possible! If I can get this to boot into any rom, then I can fix this!!! Come on devs, if we can port-in beats, bravia, and all other device ports, we can solve this!
You need to relock and apply the signed firmware zip from the latest OTA. If that's the software version you were running, it *should* get you booting again.
Here's that file, if you can't find it elsewhere: http://d-h.st/3yF

Cool! Thank you for your input. But I put this thing aside in my computer store for awhile... I will try this zip today.. I did re-lock the bootloader before I posted earlier though and already tried re-installing the latest last known RUU but same issue... In fact, I tried all RUU available!! Also, if I can only get into recovery I can fix this thing. Hope this zip helps... Question, how do I apply this zip file if I cannot get into recovery in the first place? I'm quite sure the seller of this Evo did the latest OTA update before it crashed in middle of it and got this reboot loop in the first place. Is there a way to slipstream the extracted images of this zip into the latest RUU in the appdata hidden file while it is running on windows? lol - sorry for all this but this issue is crazy!!! NOTE: Don't get the last security OTA update for this thing!!! It's a SECURITY UPDATE alright.. LOL!

You flash the zip through HBOOT, not recovery. Rename to PC36IMG.zip (exactly), place on sd card in no folder, and choose yes to apply update once the bootloader reads it. Again, make sure you relock first, and then hopefully the device will boot. If it doesn't, it may be normalized to the point that you can unlock and flash a custom recovery and it actually stick.
Issue continues

I tried just this, relocked and renamed, after a few seconds in Hboot, it gave several lines of 'no image', then a final 'no image or wrong image', went back to normal Hboot.
More info on my problem here.
I'm kinda have similar issue... I pulled my old Evo from box it has a-off ... When I booted up it went to home screen then just shut off by it self.. then kept bootloops .. I then tried to get to recovery it boots to HTC logo and bootloops too... I tried ruu it will still bootloops .. the reason y my phone died was because battery inside phone was bulky that's y it started.. got new battery still same problem... I'm thinking maybe ramdisk got messed up.. I can go to bootloader but that is it... What can it be? I mean if there is no solution I have another Evo I never rooted and still works...and also have Evo 4g lte. My back up phones just in case if something breaks

If it boot loops after you tried a RUU, then you have bigger problems and probably need to swap to one of your backup phones.

I can access the bootloader screen as well as my custom recovery. Im also getting a message in twrp saying no os installed. I´ve tried flashing an ota firmware with the commands
fastboot oem reboorRUU
fastboot flash zip ***.zip
With a relocked bootloader ut I always get Failed ( remote:12 signature fail)
I´ve tried relocking, unlocking the bootloader flashing stock recovery putting stock firmware files on to my ext sd card and flashing them through twrp. One file succeded but I still get stuck at the htc screen, another file keeps failing.

Your best solution is to flash a custom ROM. Put the firmware and thew gapps on your sdcard and flash them through recovery. First the ROM, and after that the gapps.

Unlock bootloader, download a custom recovery(TWRP), download a nandroid backup for your device from this thread: COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Boot into custom recovery through fastboot, make a backup of something small like "Boot" so that it creates the backup path for your device. Place the unzipped/unpacked nandroid backup in the backup folder(Last one in tree, i.e inside the serial number folder), restore the nandroid.
Could you tell me which folder exactly it is that I need to place the nandroid backup in ? And where it is located , I cant seem to find it even though I made a backup of boot

It'll be something along: TWRP/BACKUPS/serialnum*/unzipped-nandroid-folder
* serialnum folder will be the one with your serial number for your device. Check on internal storage OR if you selected external SD you should see it already named "TWRP" and the rest of the tree path. Inside the "unzipped folder" which will typically start with a date(if TWRP did it by default) you'll find things like "boot.img" or "boot.emmc.win" and system files etc.
Just make sure you select the correct path where you made the directory when you restore. If you made it on external SD then you have to select it from external SD when you restore.

Thank you so much , my device just booted up :good:
Ok i messed with this poor device so badly that i can't tell you...i successfully flashed cm12.1 nighlty but while charging the device simply turns off (i opened a thread about this topic but no one replied) so when i wake up in the morning i had no alarm. i decided then to try some other custom roms but in order to do that i had to RUU my device. Here comes the problem, i found many RUUs for this model but only 1 seemed to work...The RUU process stops at the very end with a message saying the it halted due to large image update...so i tried instead to flash the RUU via fastboot but notihing changed, the zip sent to the device is too large.
i have 3 solutions but i need ur help to make em work...
1) unlock the bootloader and restore a backup ==> the problem is that i simply can't re-unlock it...i tried everything (new unlock token, without sd card, with sd car, without sim card, with sd card; it simply remains relocked)
2) find a suitable RUU for my device that is less then 1 gb ==> the problem is that i can't find it anywhere. so i ask you, is it possible to clean the system partition to free space for the RUU? How?
my device info are:

Hey i have a HTC one m8 on o2 in UK,
First of all i am a complete noob when it comes to phone repair/installing software on phones i'm not even sure how to get this 'fastboot var all' people seem to ask for, I've been browsing these forums for a few days and can't seem to work it out so hoping there's a patient person out there that could point me in the right direction.
It is stuck on the main load up screen and occasionally optimizing apps which it goes through this process and repeats.
Was using the phone then it popped up with a message, htc input has stopped working or something like that, can't really remember, said send error report so i pressed don't send, kept popping up so i restarted the phone and it started doing this, if i try and enter recovery mode it gives me a red triangle with an explanation mark.
From what i have been reading i may need to install an 'RUU' from an SD card onto the phone(i have no idea how to do this)

Had the phone since new so the software hasn't been tampered with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be aware that running an RUU will wipe your phone.
Download this RUU.zip
Rename it by deleting everything in the name of the .zip except for 0P6BIMG (and .zip of course)
Place that onto your ext SD (the card must be formatted to FAT32 ~ if it's 32GB or less, it probably already is) and boot into bootloader
Follow the on screen prompts (vol up to flash ~ power button to reboot when done ~ super easy)
And that's it.
After the flash is complete, delete the renamed .zip from you SD card. If you don't, your phone will try to update again every time you boot to bootloader.
Good luck!
Thanks for the fast reply, worked a treat, appreciated
