I think I may have a problem... I flashed the MR2.5 radio successfully, flashed GingerRemix 2.1 and had everything working ok (except for drawer, phone, and personalize buttons doing opposite operations) and then I tried flashing the MatteHD theme. Now I'm stuck at the black "das BAMF the Baddest!" screen. I've pulled the battery and gotten into Hboot but I can't change the options and get into recovery. All it does is go into the update option (like when flashing a new radio). PLEASE HELP
did you delete the radio PG05 file?
How long was it on that screen? I've never tried that ROM before but I have been stuck on a loaf screen for over 20 mins before .. let it sit for a while imo

Not after upgrading to MR2.5
delete the file off your microsd and then boot the hboot and you should be able to go to recovery from there cause in hboot its gonna search for that file but once it cant find it, itll let you choose the option to go to clockwormod

I'll try that. I'm gonna wait a few more minutes at this screen and see if it miraculously loads normally but I'm very doubtful it will. It does go through the initial bootup screen and a second screen/animation with no problems but at this third screen is where it is seemingly stuck. If it doesn't load I will definitely remove that radio .zip and attempt recovery again. Thanks a ton guys for your help. I'll keep you posted
Or just rename it so you don't have to redownload later
THUNDERBOLT
yeah you could always just remain it and stuff and yeah you should definatly try the renaming or deleting of the file to return to recovery. hope it works
I hope its ok man!
Update:
I renamed the radio file back to what it was and was able to get into recovery. I'm currently restoring a Nandroid backup so I should be back in business soon. HUGE relief. Thank you so much for the help. You guys are what makes this online community so incredible.
I bet you just had to wait. I've had that same screen take 15 or 20 minutes to load after flashing a rom or kernel before.

May have been the case possibly. I just wiped a few times and flashed dbamf 1.8 and it took about 10mins to boot or so I bet. Odd but I wasnt worried

Waiting didn't do it... I left it at that screen for over 2 hours (thank God for the extended battery). It was worth a shot. I think the Matte HD theme was the culprit.

I have loaded this radio then I booted into recovery and tried to install Das BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 from zip and the download starts then about halfway though it goes back to the bootloader screen with the android guys skateboarding. It has fastboot highlighted with the only options being bootloader,reboot,reboot bootloader, and power down. I have tried to reboot, boot back into recovery and restore but it keeps going back to this screen...any idea's??

Well, if you can get into the bootloader you are not bricked. Go to Jcase's stock recovery thread and get the rooted stock PG5... to load in hboot. It will essentially get you back to rooted Froyo and then you can reflash the recovery and whatever rom you want.
Or I believe you can rename a ROM to PG5... and flash it in recovery as well, although I've never tried that method.

I've never heard of anyone flashing a rom through hboot by renaming it to pg05img or whatever it is. I wouldn't try that without evidence of out working

ok chris, I think I have the MR2 Radio on my phone's SD card, if I do, I'll email it earlier.
it wont load past the HTC screen..
flashed WARM-3.5-evo3d-unofficial-r100.zip
from sdcard.
had down a factory wipe initially.. tried clearing dalvik cache again but still cannot get past htc screen. ugh
correction i flashed to r119.zip
Did you wipe system as well? How long are you giving it at the HTC Splash screen before you decide it's frozen? I haven't been keeping up to date with the Warm train lately, so I'm not sure if there have been any issues with the builds. I know back in the day, sometimes the build bot that myn used would bork a build from time to time and it wouldn't flash. Have you tried flashing any other builds, or just r119?
yes i did a complete wipe initially.. flashed.. got stuck at screen.. i left it there for 2-3 mins with no response.. just hovering at the HTC screen. I have not tried flashing any other roms as I wasnt sure what if any adverse affect this may have on the current problem

Before you go any further in trying to figure it out, I would let it sit at the HTC screen a bit longer than a couple minutes. I've had it hang there for 5 or 6 minutes on certain sense roms that I flash, especially on the first boot. Give it a solid 7 minutes or so, and if it's still hanging there..then yea it's stuck. After that, I would simply try flashing something else and see if it works. Perhaps you got a bad download as well, maybe try re downloading it.
suggestions on how to move rom to sdcard if phone isnt booting hence PC isnt seeing the drive?
is it possible to go back to stock rom if this doesnt work?

Transfer it to the SD card from recovery. I'm not sure what recovery you're on, but every recovery has the feature to mount the sd card from within recovery. It's like USB MS Toggle or something to that nature. In TWRP 2, I think it's under the 'mount' tab.
Did you just try turning it on again yet, and seeing if it will eventually get past the HTC Screen? Again, it could take a bit more than 2 or 3 minutes on the first boot.
EDIT: And yea, you should be able to get back to a stock ROM no problem, or at least get back to a functioning phone, lol. Did you make a nandroid of your stock setup right after you rooted, before you tried flashing warm?
no i didnt make a nandroid backup sadly. im letting it sit for 10 mins before i give up on tyhis version
I don't think that ROM will boot as I'm pretty sure it has no boot image in it. Joelz was doing some stuff on the later builds and removed the bootimage.
Go into the thread and look for Vin's post. He is on the front page or on post 2. He has been the one updating the ROM for Joelz. the last version I knew of was around 01/12 or so?

fwiw im using twrp 1.0.3
Ok, now you may have to call them ask to have your data reset. There is a specific thing to ask for. It's in the threads on how to root the Evo 3D.
hey guys im kinda in some desperate need for help lol. so i had twrp 1.1.1 installed, but i wanted to go to 2.1 and try it out. i successfully flashed 2.1 and booted back into system. i wanted to flash leedroid tweaks so i booted back into 2.1 recovery and flashed it. it went through but i cannot get past the splash screen. i tried to boot into recovery through fastboot to make some changes, but i cannot get throuh because i still have that zip on my sdcard and it asks me to apply the update every time. im not sure what to do at this point...anyone have some help they can give me?
Another reason why twrp sucks.
Just do a full wipe and reflash the Rom you were currently on.

finally got it. i couldnt access anything because my phone couldnt get to recovery. i ended up having to go and buy a sd card with an adapter to manually move the files around. i had to go back to twrp 1.1.1 through bootloader and then reflashing a rom. what a mess. but its all good.

at boot screen following your immediate method no results any help is greatly appreciated
hboot 1.5 S-on unlocked

I'm having the same problem. I figured out by holding down the power button for 20 seconds when its stuck in the splash screen it will bypass the issue. If that doesn't work pull the battery out and put it back in. Hold down the power button down 20 seconds while it attempts to boot.... hopefully that will get it to boot into what ever Rom you previously flashed. I have flashed, several differant roms, done super wipes, modified wipes, flashed differant recoveries, updated the radio, and I'm still having issues where I get stuck in the splash screen or I have issues where I can't boot into recovery (its a hit or miss after a couple of different approaches)
This all happened after I went from ICS back to GB (mean rom)

I have my Evo 3D and I decided I wanted to flash a ROM on it.
Basically I rooted it and went to flash a ROM on it, and ended up deleting the dalvik cache and cache.
The bad part is, I forgot (like a complete idiot) to do a Nandroid backup.
Is there any way to come back from this?
you could just run an RUU and get back to stock.
btw what problem do you have while flashing new roms?
deleting the dalvick cache and cache dousnt matter, it automatically creates it.
If you haven´t backup up your previous rom, then you cant recover it... that´s why it´s called a backup..
So whats the problem?
I think i read it wrong. do you mean you want to restore your previous stock rom + data? if so its not possible to restore the data without a nandroid.

That works even though I can only see the bootloader screen / TWRP recovery screen.?
And my problem was that I had an error while trying to flash room. I might have done it wrong.
But I just want my phone to work. I dont need my apps or contacts etc
.
Not sure what the problem is either. If you delete the dalvik turn the phone back on and it automatically recreates it. No problems what so ever.
It sounds like you flashed or tried to flash a ROM without doing a full wipe. However I'm not sure.
Perhaps you could tell us in more detail the problem and what you would like to do and we can help ya..
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
I know that you are trying to help, but all I wanted to know was how to make it back to normal. But seeing as I did it incorrectly, I could really use the help.
I did not do a Nandroid backup.
What I did was try to flash the rom without wiping my phone, like you said.
Then I selected the option of clearing both cache and dalvick cache.
Then tried flashing rom again. Did not work.
I am sorry I cant recall what the error was when doing it, but I will let you know when I try again in a second (if it doesnt work this time.) [ I also found a different tutorial and would like to give it a try.
There isn't a way to get back to the same state your phone was in before wiping it since you did not do a backup. If you are gsm then find the gsm RUU. If CDMA then find the CDMA version. That will get you back to the stock version but it will be as if you just turned it on for the first time ever.
It would be easier to just download a different ROM and put it on your SD card then flash it. Although it won't be stock...
But before doing any of that just boot recovery and do a full wipe. Then reflash the ROM you were trying to install.
I got back to stock with RUU. Then I figured out how to successfully back up and flash my phone with different roms.
Thank you for all your help.
Good luck in your flashing endeavours! Its addicting.
I actually am having an issue. I am trying to flash a rom on my phone and it says im extracting boot.img with a progress bar on the bottom. The progress bar seems to be staying at one point and not moving.
He said something about naming something to PG86IMG and wasnt clear to me what to name PG86IMG.
Any speculations?

I tried the wire trick. Couldn't get it to work. Maybe because I used speaker wire which isnt a sold wire but strands. Do you think that makes a difference?
As long as there is a connection all the way through, no. Keep in mind i tried 20 times or so, you have to get the timing right.
Take another look at the demo vid and try again, if you're not sure about the wire, use a paperclip with some tape around it. (tape is important, you don't want your skin to touch the metal)

I did the wire trick about a week or two ago and I couldnt time it just right so I just continuously tapped the SD card metal holder dealio with the paperclip about every second and it worked the fourth or fifth try.

I have a broken DNA too that can't detect sim card lol. I don't want to go back to my Droid Incredible! haha

I know this may seem unnecessary since you are s-off, but when flashing a rom, try pushing the boot.img with fastboot. Thats what I would try next.
