so i tried to flash the full rooted ruu rom via hboot, i had it sitting on my table with the batt door off and knocked it on the floor ( accident ofcourse ) and the batt came out halfway during the process so now it goes into the htc screen then blank htc screen then blank and i cant get into cwr so my question is can i salvage it or am i f**ked?
Have you tried hbooting to recovery? Volume up and power down when the phone boots up.
cant keep it in cwr long enough to do anything, keeps rebooting and when it does go into cwr it says something like cant mount cache i think

+1. That's exactly what would have worked. I know it's too late for the lad now, but for future users...
If you're ever stuck in a boot-loop and can't hboot into recovery, you'll need to copy and past the PGIMG05.ZIP file onto the root of your SD Card. This will be about a 200-400 meg file and would usually be a stock rooted RUU or stock signature RUU. After it's on the root of your SD, make sure it's the only PGIMG05.zip file on there! Then start the phone by holding down power + volume up. This will force the phone to hboot the PGIMG05 file which will get you past the boot-loop.
For some it's a good idea to have insurance too.
You can get a replacement minus the deductible if you "lose" your phone.
Just make certain you call VZW as soon as you lose it.
I don't suggest selling the phone for parts and saying it's lost, but I'm sure others have done this to cover their deductible.
Those without insurance...I have heard people have had great success with warranty replacement when using over the phone support when the phone doesn't boot or bootloops.
Since you send the phone back to VZW by mail, their replacement standards are much lower than dealing with their retail and face to face support.

I'm new to this, just rooted my thunderbolt the week before last (have rooted a total of 4 phones though since and created my own bootimage with sound and everything! lol!), and that's what came to mind when I read the original post but I didn't "know" for sure. Thanks for confirming it. This stuff is fascinating to me. I like to understand what is going on. I'd like to someday write my own rom. Perhaps it's a pipe dream but is there someplace you could point me where I could start my education?

Putting the stock Rom on took the root off of it but didn't fix my boot loop. So I returned it and got a free thunderbolt.

Your the reason Verizon hates rooters you are wasting there money on a device that is out of warranty because you would rather send it back than fix it yourself.

I believe you could start with os kitchen or another UI for extracting certain parts of a rom. I think in large part its knowing java script.

Is the phone S-OFF?
How much access do you have to that phone if it is?
Nope S-ON. But I have unrestricted access for the next 30days
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I may be wrong here (I assure you someone will chime in if I am ), but at this point we may need to keep a look out for any S-OFF Phones as these have the best chance of having a SD Card we can take an image from. If I'm correct in my thinking, this alone wont help us as the individual card should be tied to that phone. Unrestricted access to such a phone would allow it to be studied at the very least.
Anyone know of any CID spoofers for mSD cards?
Well we have more than one. I'll check them all out and get back

Right. Only the OTA won't download on mine. I have a 30mbit connection for my wifi and Angry Birds downloads in seconds, but took the OTA 7 hours to get 3.5mb.
All of ours have S-ON RL...
Any idea what rl is?
Also if you can't download it OTA, I would assume renaming it to update.zip would work.

For some reason the Wi-fi on mine is screwy. 50mb connection from comcast and the router is right next tomine, same as my non 3d evo was on and I couldn't download a few games that needed to install data, would sit there and after about 3 minutes would say no internet connection....
It seems to work for apps and such in the market so I don't know. Just trying to provide as much info as I can. Just got it today too. Kind of buggy.
At one point would wake to lock screen and as soon as I pulled ring it went black, several times, not sure what made it work again.
Also, hit top button showed lock screen as only top half of screen. Had to reboot for this to clear....
I also know someone at the sprint store in my location and could ask him to look for a phone of that nature if we need it. Let me know.
i think the build number is old 1.11.651.3 i have 1.13.651.7

Then one might be able to find a chink in HTC's armor. For example, running fastboot/adb commands etc and comparing the output to normal phones. The missing functions between s-off and s-on would be significant.

I installed this 'renaming it to PG86IMG.zip' and now everything is kool except my wifi errors out. Doesn't even try to start...just gives me "error" when I try to start it.
I read in a few places that I need to use Goldcard to use OTA....any ideas if this is true or if I need to do something else??
BTW, I now have Hboot 1.40.00...instead of 1.30.00 so it won't even let me downgrade to factory shipping ROM.

Sounds like a radio issue. Try getting the radio file, and renaming it to PC36IMG and run it thru your bootloader.

Even if you return to stock, after using the HTC Unlock method, your bootloader will show "RE-LOCKED"......At least according to this thread here:

Na from what I've read you can still flash roms and kernels just threw fastboot if I'm not mistaken. Check out the dev- section for the how to's. Might want to setup adb on your laptop/pc as well. Also you can try an ruu. Or you can do an in home replacement swap. They should be able to send the phone to you, better the factory get the phone were they will be less likely to care than sprint. Imo that is.

Whether or not the Sprint Store will allow you to exchange the device is all up to them. The proces for returning an HTC method lock/unlocked device to Stock should result in the bootloader displaying *Relocked*.
As far as we've seen, there is no published/public method of bypassing this process. Very little has been said from the developer community on the details/inner workings of Hboot 1.5. The Sprint store, if they boot the device into the bootloader mode, will at least know you *Relocked* the device. I would imagine, if you could promise/ensure the Sprint Store Tech you've restored the phone back to stock and then relocked, following HTC directions, they *should* be okay with the process, but in the end, it is up to them.
Of course, capitalism provides competition, even with a Monopoly. If one Sprint store isn't willing to take your business and exchange the device, another store might be willing. The only incentive on their part would be for future customer loyalty .. but this is probably more off topic.
I haven't seen any Sprint official posts or messages on how they will handle *relocked* devices.
If anything I've stated isn't correctly, I'm sure somebody will post up with more informed information. Perhaps a Sprint Tech or two might come across this thread and clarify on their internal process/policy.
Let us know how it turns out. Best of luck!
Thanks I am going to do this after work and take it to them right after hopefully....

RUU does not downgrade because you can't downgrade from hboot 1.50 as of now. It is used to revert you back to stock and unroot I believe.

Hey everyone!
So my rezound has a cracked screen, and I need to take it to verizon. Heres where my problem is.
I used the htc dev tools to unlock the phone and the zerg root rush method to root. I DID NOT install a custom rom. After the screen cracked, i followed nghtmr3's thread on how to UNROOT the rezound. I successfully got it to S-On, but when i attempted to install the stock rom, I could not do it. I tried to install the OTA update, but it came to the common downloading screen, but then an error pops up, and it wont complete the update.
So I tried to flash rom manager, reboot, and run recovery, but i go back to the same download and error screen.
I really just need to get superuser off so i can take it in without worries.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it, because i have been going at it for days now.
Thanks,
James
p.s. The attached picture is the updating screen. I come to this screen, but about 1/4 the way in, it comes up with a red "!" and sits there untill i battery pull.
p.s.s. I understand that i have already voided the in-house verizon warranty by having a cracked screen. And i do have the asurion insurance, but i dont want to send it to them with SU still installed, as i have heard that they will send it back.

Rooting your phone does not automatically void the warranty. It MAY void the warranty. A cracked screen shouldn't be a problem.
