okay i messed up and need some help!
 

First let me say im glad to be posting back on ppcgeeks per i have been using a palm pre for well over a year and spent many hours here when i had my touch pro. Okay I have an evo and was flashed to sprint lovers rom and had to flash it back to stock. From what ive learned going and looking at every forum I could find about the problem ive learned that maybe i have an hboot that was too far advanced for the ruu i tried to run. It came back with a error saying some of the parts of the rom couldnt be found and the flash didnt go through. After this my evo went to the htc logo and 4 triangles in the corners. When i try to power on and vol down it wont come on at all. if it is in the htc triangle screen i plug the cable into the pc and unplug it goes to boot screen but only gives me ruu highlighted yellow as an option. I have hboot 2.10 with s-off and absolutely have to try and figure out what to do. the weirdiest thing is it seemed to murder my battery as well because my phone will only turn on with my wifes battery in its lace. I even tried t put m batter in her phoe and let t charge but nothing. everything i have found does not work. I have tried to install ruu after ruu and none of them will find my phone when i plug it into the comp. someone please please help me out i have to take the phone back in the morning to get a new one and that is why i was trying to go back to stock in the first place. I was flashed to the sprint lovers rom as i went through the flashing by way of the xda forum flashing step by step through ade or whatever it is where you use the cmdprompt to do it. I am new to android as i just got the phone last wednesday so reading through some forums i really dont understand their lingo and be able to follow what they have said. anyone that can help me in idots guide to android verbiage. thanks to anybody.

long post..

so you can not get to hboot right and if you use and ruu and run it from your puter it doesnt detect your fone?

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

yes 100% correct. but in hboot all i have to choose from is ruu and if i plug the usb cable in it goes straight back into the htc 4 triangle deal. oh and sorry for being so long but i wanted to give the most information i could about my prob.

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

what ruu did you try to run ?
when at hboot does it scan for img?

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

when i get to boot it does not scan and pressing the power button does nothing for the highlighted ruu. I have tried a few from here.

the 3.70 the 3.30 one. and i first tried some really old stock rom. 1.32 i think. didnt know at the time that you needed to try and run one that was in line with your hboot version.
lol i just realized you were the one who posted the ruu links i used. also when i plug my wifes evo in the comp recognizes it right away.

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

have you tried to switch usb ports and run ruu again

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

no but like i said my wifes evo recognizes fine :( ill try it out though.


nope nothing still

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

when i plug it in my device info shows adb interface when it doesnt before hand and the sub menu says HTC bootloader. when i do it with my wifes it says android phone instead. does that mean that maybe i can use adb to try and flash it? i dont know like i said im a complete noob.

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

you run i ruu from your computer? or you use the pc36img?

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

ran it from the computer and since this there is no way i can even try to load it from sd card with pcimg. i initially installed it from the xda directions through adb using the pcimg they supplied in the post. i think it was the sprint lovers rom or something like that.

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

when at hboot do it say s-off at the top..

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

yes and im sorry i didnt realize it went to 2nd page

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

did you try to use the pc36img from this post?
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/2018113-post130.html

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

how exactly do you do it? i just thought the pc36img was to be done from the sd card only?

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

ok if run the ruu or using any pc36img didnt help last resort
never tried this

take the pc36img file and take out the files
and us this and run each file



via terminal app or adb

1. Copy ?????????.img to the root of your sdcard
2. start the terminal app or launch adb
3. su(press enter)
4. flash_image recovery /sdcard/???????.img(press enter)
5. reboot recovery(press enter)

nevermind i forgot you didnt have recovery... just try to put each img file or your card one at a time

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

just put the pc36img file on you sdcard and hope hboot will see it

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

okay ill download it and try it out. if it doesnt work ill try the last resort option. its going to take a few to download the image though. should i be able to directly copy and past your commands? and how do i get access to my phone through cmd prompt? do i change directory to the directory that has the adb in it? i forget from when i first flashed it.

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

this will show you how to use adb

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

if this doesnt work then its time to take sprint and get a new one

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

alriht thanks a lot for everything and i should have known to come here in the first place to root and get all my information.

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

when you get your replacement root with this
unrevoked

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

dont tell them you tried to root when you take it back either

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

its all good im taking it to my boy at sprint anyway he knows. hey do i need to rename the image? to PC36IMG

Re: okay i messed up and need some help!
 

the name should read as follows pc36img.zip
