HI i went to put evil eris 4.0 on my phone and it loaded up just fine except my data wasnt working but thats because i had my phone flashed to metro pcs with the data. Anyways i got the celb froyo zip off xda {latest version} and the gapps and tryed to load the zip but first i did a wipe and tryed to load it but it wont load. It just stay on the boot screen with android on the skateboard .Now when in hboot ,my phone says wrong img and when i try to load another rom in recovery it says no space left on device and it wont load any rom did i screw my self. I have adb setup is there any method for me to start fresh and reroot with a custom rom? thanks alot in advance i think i did somehting else to it but i dont remember
Since your using metro pcs I have no idea how to help or what to suggest, but if you can see the splash screen and bootloader then your not bricked.

It doesn't matter if I revert back to Verizon and that wouldn't matter anyways since the hex esn number is in metros database but I don't care if I revert back to stock or whatever I just want my phone back no hold bar at this point
Sent from my CM6 Aria froyo using XDA App
Not sure if it will help but did see couple threads about Metro here, I would check those. May give you some ideas on how to fix.
Just do a search on metropcs should get at least one hit, not sure if the other had just metro or metropcs
I don't care about metro I just wanna revert back to stock do you think if I can get the stock 2.1 rom and try to flash it would work?

Did you do a full wipe after flashing the Froyo rom and before attempting to flash another rom? Sometimes you need to wipe more than once for the new rom to load properly.
Sent from my Froyo Eris using XDA App
Yes I did a wipe initialy when I loaded evil eris v4.0 and that booted up fine and then I decided I wanted a 2.2 rom so I got the celb rom for the Eris and the gapps and then I rebooted into recovery and did a wipe and uploaded the celb rom and it wouldn't load after. 30mins I said screw it and poped out the battery and booted into recovery and tryed to wipe and reload but it kept saying staus 7 and no space left on device so I don't know what else to do..

Did you do a nandroid backup before you tried the 2.2 rom? If so, boot back to recovery, nand backup/restore and restore your backup.
Also, some roms need you to flash the rom, then the gapps, then boot. If you miss one and boot early, you'll get looped!
Sent from my Cyanogen Froyo using XDA App
Since you still have recovery, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of getting a rom to boot. Was your sd card partitioned for apps2sd while on the 2.1 rom? Also, did you try wiping your rotation sensors and battery stats? If you don't have a nandroid (mentioned above), wipe, wipe, wipe and flash a new 2.1 rom.

How does wiping battle stats a nd rotation sensors help?
I've been pulling my hair out trying to loads new rom and get stuck at the white screen. I've flashed many roms before. But lately get stuck at the boot stage.

Wiping those stats has no real use when changing roms if you're not already having problems. However, I've read other threads where people have been stuck in boot loops or not booting at all and that has helped them. Worse case scenario, if you wipe them and it doesn't fix your problem, it hasn't started any either. How many people actually use battery stats or change sensor settings?
Just trying to help.

eris_evil,
Do you know how to use the adb command line, and you have your PC set up (USB drivers and all) so that it is working?
If so, charge your phone fully (100%), and then:
- plug it in (USB) to the PC
- boot the phone into Amon_RA
- from the command line on the PC, run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell umount /system
adb shell mount /data
adb shell umount /data
adb shell mount /cache
adb shell umount /cache
And then report back if you see these commands reporting errors. Do NOT paraphrase - cut and paste the exact text you see into a reply here. I am guessing you will see an error with either /system or /data.

I'm going to try wipe and install another rom but if I wipe everything and install another rom will the boot image be installed with it cause when I'm in hboot it says that its the wrong boot imagine and zip. so maybe I got the wrong rom the second time around after the first rom i uploaded is the celb 2.2 froyo an eris rom?

None of the HTC/VZW OTAs will work unless you have the stock recovery installed. Also, they will bomb out immediately if you have the wrong OS on the phone. Not a chance in h3ll that they will work on a (dev) ROM - the first thing they do is call getprop() to check the currently installed software version.
Nevertheless, the original download links (Google) for all of the Eris OTAs are listed in this XDA post
You can attempt flashing the Leak-V3 PB00IMG.ZIP ROM to your phone using the HBOOT + PB00IMG.ZIP method. Given the state that your phone is in, I'd guess there is about a 50/50 chance you will end up with a brick.
There are other approaches that are much more cautious - but are not guaranteed to work, and would require me to write a novel to describe them.
Basically, you attempt to do everything possible inside the recovery boot before you touch either "system" or "data" further - but you start by getting the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader onto the phone. That requires jcase's "misc" image flashing, plus a HBOOT+(Root ROM)PB00IMG.ZIP install with a Toastcfh "battery pull trick".
That would give you the option to use fastboot mode to flash either Amon_RA or Clockwork to the recovery partition - that can only be done with the S-OFF bootloader
bftb0
You can only load Pb00img.zip from hboot. That's the only one that will work in hboot.
Put that file in your root folder on your sd card and shut your eris off. Hold the volume down button and turn your power on and you should be alright

Ok I thought the worst was over but now my phone is bricked for real it won't turn on or charge, how do you recover a bricked phone. If not do you think that since I bought my eris second hand will htc sill honor the manufacturers warranty if I send it to them plus I already called them and they said the warranty is still good because I haven't tryed to take the phone apart. I never told them I rooted my phone or tryed to put a custom rom on it but nor did they ask either. All I told them was one day I went to use it and it would not work. The only thing is if the phone won't turn on at all will they be able to tell I was messing with it. And if there is an other option to fix it without having to mail it out for three weeks.

I had the same question when I started out. I'll make it easy on you.
Go into recovery, use the volume buttons to toggle up and down. Go to wipe data / factory reset. Select it and then confirm it. Then go to wipe cache partition and do the same. Then go to advanced and select wipe davlik. THAT IS HOW TO WIPE. This is recommended to do before flashing a new ROM.
Can't get past the update
I cant get past the update in recovery

That's easy to get past. Just load a PGIMG05.zip file onto the ROOT of your SD card. ROOT means without being in any folders. If you're on BAMF 3.0 then you're on Gingerbread. So find the RUU file for unsigned Gingerbread RUU and place it on the ROOT. Then do an Hboot. Which is Power down and volume up at the same time when the phone is off. Make sure you don't have any PGIMG05 files on the ROOT. You probably do because you rooted your phone. If you don't you could end up with S back on.
**You did flash the correct Gingerbread radio...right?
**I have no clue where the Gingerbread RUU is. If you find it, please post it. It will be a fairly large file. Probably around 300mb+
EDIT:
I'm sorry but the RUU for Gingerbread isn't out yet. Try Hbooting the MR1 then Hboot the MR2 Radio RUU which is 2.3.4 base.
Link to Jcase radio thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997724&highlight=RUU
I'm pretty sure, you'll need to flash the "PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.13.605.7_Radio_1.16.00.0402w_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip" on that page which should be the last link.
Take your SD Card out, put in a reader or another Android phone and delete the radio file from it.

I've had this problem too and I've wiped and reflashed from scratch to fix it.
But this happens to all my backups, making nandroid backups virtually useless to me now. Anybody know why this happens? I've never had a problem like this before and it started after trying to restore from the new CM7 back to bamf 2.1....
A common solution would be to backup the SD Card and reformat it in Clockwork or with SDFormatter.. NOT IN WINDOWS.
When the house gets dirty, you have to clean it.

format did not work for me either.
restores worked for me at when i came off of Synergy's ROM back to bamf3.0, but coming outta CM7 to bamf 3.0 busted it again...very strange.

I am using th3orys inj3ct rom and just wanted to see what Synergy was all about, when I wasn't impressed i tried to restore my nandroid (which i made right before i flashed synergy) and that is when all the trouble started... i tried everything that I know of and just had to reflash the original ROM and start from scratch, sux but at least my phone is back on.
I had this issue over the weekend. However I did do a restore prior to getting the error... I was texting my gf, and all of a sudden my screen wouldn't turn on... Pulled the battery and when i booted up I kept getting the error.
I had a PG05IMG.zip on my SD card so if I tried to boot to recovery from boot menu it wouldn't let me.
I took my SD card and plugged it into a PC using an adapter. Deleted the PG05IMG.zip and then booted to recovery. Restored my latest backup (3 days old) and everything worked.

What the hell.. this same thing happened to me last night - never had this happen before.
Happened after restoring a backup of Das Bamf 3.0 RC 3
Guess I have to wait for my wife to come home with her old droid so I can plug my sdcard in to her phone and get rid of the pgimg zip
Allright, so there I was, running a rather stable Comm Rom 2.0 Voodoo Rom with the ED10 Kernel/Radio, and then I saw the thread on the OMFGB GB release, that I, of course, just HAD to have...
So, my first mistake was being impatient and not being able to find any installation notes, and pretending that I knew what I was doing by installing the rom via CWM mod.
Here's the rub, for some reason, whenever I did the 3 finger salute, it would pull a RED CWM that went orange when I applied update.zip ... because if I tried to install rom from sd card with the initial CWM boot, it wouldn't install anything, it would just error out unless I applied update.zip. After selecting apply update from zip, it would boot the orange CWM and allow me to install whatever I wanted...
So after applying the OMFGB rom, it showed the Fascinate/ Cyanogenmod 7 bootscreen, then went to boot loop. I panicked, pulled the battery, then backed up everything to my computer, and formatted the sd card in FAT32 with Windows 7 64 bit...
Shortly thereafter, I was using ODIN and the original "return to stock" files, and ended up getting into the stock OS.
Now I never show 3G or even 1x, and never pull data at all... when I go to place calls, it says that verizon cannot authenticate my phone... when I activate, it reboots and says everything was successful, but was noticeably a faster process than standard activation. Upon reboot, nothing improves... the os is there, everything shows that everything is fine, yet I am still not able to place calls...
Here is where it gets weird... My wife called me today, and the call came through... I received text messages, but still couldn't make calls... My bill is zeroed out, I'm not locked out that I know of, and I just want my phone working again...
Running out of ideas. I have flashed ED01 DL01 and even reapplied the stock .PIT in odin... I am going to try heimdall while I wait for help from here, but any quick help would be GREATLY appreciated...
I believe the issue is you need to convert your system to mtd before flashing omfgb...some one correct me if I'm wrong though as I don't want to spread false info.
but Try installing jt's 0704 cm7 build following his instructions, then install his 0713 build (possible unnecessary step but it worked for me), then flash omfgb. You will most likely have to flash jt's fixed cwm to subsequently flash his cm7 as I had to since I was coming from a stock restore. And now I'm running a blazing fast omfgb...I was able to restore all my apps and data in half the time it took on com rom...good luck let me know how it goes

Alright the issue is resolved, my main concern was whether or not I could use my phone for phone calls... after finally mustering up the guts to call Verizon, it turned out that the main problem in which I was experiencing was due to some form of typical midnight updates that big red does... apparently, my phone, missed some form of update that ended up de-authorizing my phone, but Verizon was able to help out, even at this late hour.
On the good note, everything went through just fine as far as flashing cm7... I just seem a bit conflicted with which rom is best. I guess its just a matter of personal preference, really. So far I prefer jt's rom just fine, but I might be switching back and forth between jt's and omfgb...
Thanks again for all the help folks, I appreciate it more than you could know.

Not sure that I totally understand as to why I need to flash cm7 0713, then omfgb, then reflash cm7 0704... seems a bit redundant.

Because omfgb apparently doesn't convert to mtd but cyan does, so you have to flash cm first

yup, that was your mistake. prior to flashing omfgb, you need to be on jt's cm7.
I'm too lazy to read all the posts but try flashing cm7 via cwm4. then, Odin back to stock using the right files and configurations. there's a sticky in the development section.

I have a similar problem.
I tried installing MikRunny, (I flashed the boot.img multiple times, and did a full wipe, multiple times), but I keep getting a bootloop.
I fastbooted the boot.img, and I replaced the boot.img in the kernel map in MikRunny.zip.
My phone is (according to recovery) S-OFF, Revolutionary, 1.49 HBOOT, GSM.
That was the problem, the boot.img was not for GSM, but for CDMA.
But yet, I replaced it, and it still doesn't work...

Search Google, Rootzwiki, and XDA for an SD bootable CWM or TWRP recovery image for the phone. Use all terms for the Evo 3D (shooter, 3vo, E3D, and even the HTC model number, which is PG86100). Write it to a microSD with dd in Linux or Win32DiskImager in Windows. After it's done writing, just drop your zips onto the card as you normally would and place it back into the phone. Proceed to recovery as you normally would. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats. Now flash your ROM zip and follow it with your GAPPS zip. Reboot system and pray for the best. If you need any more assistance or help, feel free to PM me. Hope this helps, I know how bricking a phone feels.

Hey i ran into this problem yesterday flashing this Kernel...i used the flash gui app...what happened was it booted after it flashed....and it stuck in bootloop...i tried reflashing it the regular way just through cwm and it wasnt doing anything...so i did a google search on how to flash kernels on hboot 1.5 this is what i got...http://youtu.be/HclYpo0ZR3s that youtube video shows how to flash the kernel....THE WAY I KNEW HOW TO....but he says at the end there is a backup way to flash kernels..he says its longer but it also works just as good he says that you fastboot flash it via command prompt...so this gave me an idea...he says open up command prompt and prompt it to the folder you have used to unlock the device...unzip the boot.img file from the kernel your using in command prompt youd type fastboot flash boot boot.img....THIS NEXT PART I THOUGHT OF MYSELF. i removed the boot.img from the rom i was using and flashed that first AND FLASHED THE EXACT ROM I REMOVED THE BOOT.IMG FROM TO GET IT ROOTED. Not only did i solve my original kenel problem where my radios were jacked up BUT, i also got this kernel to work, and my synergy rom to work with the kernel, everything works and i was unbricked...I HOPE ANYBODY WHO RUNS INTO THIS PROBLEM DOES THIS AND THEY ARE OK.

I wiped cache patition
Dalvick cache
and Battery stats
then I wiped data/factory reset
It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off
and it's annoying as crap

I couldn't understand it and if your not rooted why would you unroot I don't get that part...
Do I still have root?
What does flash exactly mean?
Current Specs (I don't know what to give but I'll guess)
Thunderbolt

Mecha XD S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002

Should I upgrade to gingerbread any way
Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.
Pull the update off the SD. It will stop flashing it

I had a friend who's phone auto updated and is stuck on the htc boot screen. Will deleting the update off the sd card work also? Her phone is not rooted, just hoping to save her from having to replace it.
And how do you forget you rooted your phone?
If pulling the update off the sd what do i need to look for
i have a similar problem
my wifes phone is rooted though. it had a stock rom and she autoupdated
now i can only go to recovery mode.

1) The phone will not boot all the way up?
2) is the recovery stock or CWM?
3) do you have a recent back up made?
4) do you have s-off?

1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking
2. cwm recovery
3. no backups recent or not
4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'
Does it crash or shut off? Maybe a hardware problem?
It powers down the normal way.

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.
But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.
A custom ROM fixed me, but now the same thing poped up.
May go back to stock .... trying xdabolt, but in the process lost my data.

What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.
Hey I endded up just unrooting using this video
(can't show video url)
(Search how to unroot on youtube you should see it by nat3mil and I think that's only if you have revolutionary)
and I guess the video would work too.
If you restored to factory settings using power and vol down buttons and wiped the data in the revolutionary thing, and then followed the video...
phones working now and the video's idiot-proof
just posting this if anyone else needded to unroot

You would think but I have seen people who after being on here a year still don't know the difference between flashing something in ROM manager or recovery.

unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.
i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...
if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time
I had my phone half rooted, OTA came and I selected to defer, well I forgot and now I have the security warning.I tried flashing through the bootloader on my SD card the stock file and I still have the security warning. I use my phone as my internet source so it's been a big PITA. The phone starts, goes to 1x, then 4G, then restarts over and over.
Won't load into recovery, won't factory reset, using HBOOT USB and the command prompt the device isn't recognized.
Right now its as follows:
S-ON
1.04.0000
1.16.0223r

If the phones rooted you can prolly get into recovery VIA hboot.
If its not rooted you can prolly find a ota ruu and flash it in hboot. U can do that if its rooted too but ull lose root. Or if its a locked s off there's methods to roll back to factory and turn s on. And yes delete the orig update off the card

I had an issue kinda similar like this and ended up having to flash the RUU through the bootloader. It is the stock firmware 605.19, and I had to reroot. It's a pain I know but it works

I to had to this at one point and it does work. I would first try to flash cwm in fastboot though. Sometimes that works.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.

From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Do you by chance have a working link to the stock recovery? I have been trying to find one without success.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)
