Best Buy US Wifi - Won't boot normally - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

So I was fiddling with my US Wifi Flyer, and in the end I gave up and reflashed stock HC onto it. However now, for some reason it won't boot normally, it'll only boot into the bootloader until I drop into fastboot and type "fastboot oem boot". Any ideas?

We will need more details of what fiddling you have done. Its very possible to get a non-matched bootloader, recovery module, and system in which case you cannot boot any more and may find the device in a boot loop.

So far its mainly been experimenting with trying to make gold cards (which all failed), i've run a few RUUs which have failed with Error 130, I reflashed the HC boot, cwm recovery and reinstalled HC via cwm. Thats about it, I don't know enough to go any furthur then that. Everything I did try failed to flash when I was experimenting, so I reverted and as far as I know back to running the honeycomb set (HBoot .06, HC Boot, HC Radio, CWM, HC ROM stock)
EDIT: Bootloader is unlocked but S-ON

No ideas? I kinda miss using my flyer

[Q] EVO 3D Constant Boot Loops; Trying to Flash Stock ROM

Hello,
I have flashed to Cyanogenmod successfully via fastboot USB method. Has worked for a week. Now my phone just reboots. Figured it was the ROM, so did fastboot USB method again to install Synergy ROM (latest). The GUI didn't even finish loading, and it rebooted. Flashed back to Cyanogenmod, same thing. I've wiped before EACH flash.
I am so lost and wish to revert back to stock ROM and do this all over again, HOWEVER, I've done RUU recovery method from Sprint and it doesn't work. Loading the PG86IMG.zip from the root of the SD card doesn't really render results.
I've checked forums, and really couldn't find a solid way of doing this. If I missed or overlooked something, please point me to it and I'll gladly read it.
I am running HBOOT 1.50, which has been widely been perceived as a royal pain. I bought the phone used and came like that.
How would I do this?

If you wish to revert back to stock, loading the RUU is the best method.
Can you elaborate on what error you received you tried loading the PG86IMG.zip through the bootloader?
RUU are found here: http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu
Yep, I used that one. I don't get an error. It reads it ( obviously by the progress bar ) but doesn't give me an option to update or anything. Just passes it by as if it wasn't there.
*slaps head* I shouldn't have messed with this phone at all.
Also, I did managed to lock up the phone again. I used Sprint RUU again, successful. However, I still have boot loops as the GUI loads in Android.

[Q] Unable to boot into recovery

Ok... So a couple of days ago, I was having bootloop issues on Ineffabilis 1.3 using the Anthrax kernel. After doing a battery pull, I booted into the bootloader and then to recovery and found that my roommate, while playing with my phone, had flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery, I suppose through the Rom Manager app.
I figured it would be ok to do a full wipe and re-flash the rom since flashing the stock kernel didn't stop the bootlooping and I would just flash AmonRa back when I was done to do a backup.
Well, after doing a factory reset from CWM and getting errors thereafter trying to flash the superwipe and Ineffabilis, I rebooted the phone and skipped through the setup to get to the restart menu to get into the bootloader again to flash AmonRa. I was able to flash it, but now every time I try to get into the recovery whether from the restart menu, ADB, or through the fastboot menu, it automatically restarts the phone as soon as the recovery is loaded and goes back to the OS.
Has anyone experienced this and is there any way to fix it to get back into it?
Sounds like you have a ph image on your sd card. Just delete it and you should be fine
sent from ics land
I've long since removed all PH files from my phone, internal and external sdcard included, and even if there were that's never stopped my from booting directly into recovery from the restart menu or through ADB.
I've even gone as far as removing the external sdcard with the same result. It just boots into recovery and as soon as it loads for that split second, it automatically reboots to the HTC screen and back to Android.
I still have root and my phone isn't bricked. I just can't flash any roms or kernels in the future when we get our official ics update. WTB my EVO 3D's hboot 1.4 back...

what happens when you try to go to recovery...
i would just reflash a recoveyr in fastboot. cant hurt.
What it does is as soon as it boots to recovery, I see it load the recovery and then as soon as it loads, it's as if the phone automatically selects the reboot option and goes back through the normal boot no matter which method I use to boot into recovery.
I've done the fastboot method which flashed successfully, tried to re-flash clockwork using rom manager, scott's tool, adb & fastboot, also used scott's flash tool which was also successful and it just seems as if recovery mode is borked somehow and using these methods to go back to AmonRa produce the same result. I'm usually good at figuring these things out myself since I've been rooting and flashing since my first Sprint HTC Hero, EVO 4G, 3D, Epic 4G/Touch and I've never had anything like this happen before. Completely stumped .
Have done a search and haven't found anyone with the same issue so I have nothing prior to go off of. The phone works fine for now so I'm in no hurry since I still have root and thankfully Titanium Backup for my apps. Not sure what to try next at this point.

From hboot, choose factory reset and see if it boots you into recovery. I had a similar issue after running the new RUU, once I chose that it booted into custom recovery and i was able to reboot and then afterwards had no trouble accessing recovery.

Bump... I'm stuck with this issue...
Hi,
Spent the last two days trying everything I could think of to get a custom recovery loaded on my rezound with no luck. Have searched everywhere and short of trying to hex edit some code nothing has worked.
I was on a custom ICS rom and applied the 4.03.605.2 RUU (hboot 2.27). Was S-ON with unlocked bootloader. I locked the bootloader, installed RUU successfully, unlocked the bootloader with my token. I tried flashing amon-ra, CWM, TWRP many versions of each by fastboot and hboot (PH98IMG). The custom recovery is successfully written in each case, but i can't successfully boot into the recovery partition either from fastboot or hboot menu option. I can write the recovery.img file from the RUU zip, and all is good. Ultimately, I am just trying to install a custom ROM/root my device.
I tried the above advice about performing a factory reset. No Dice. So for now, I am stuck in Verizon bloatware land, and very unhappy about it.
Suggestions welcome. Thanks everyone.

Hook up to PC. the phone can actually adb when turned off. or make sure ROM is booted with ADB turned on. It should connect to adb. Does it? Then your command would be "adb reboot recovery" after you have flashed a custom recovery. So what does it do when you try to enter recovery?
Thanks. Did try that, but not with phone off. I'll try both for good measure and let you know. Thank you fly...

Hi Fly,
I was unable to get adb to see the phone when it was off with either a custom recovery or the stock recovery. When I rebooted to recovery from adb with a custom recovery installed, it attempts to boot to the recovery partition but fails and boots back to the OS (this is true when using adb, fastboot, and hboot to boot to recovery). When i reinstalled the stock recovery, it successfully boots to recovery using all methods.
i have tried other custom recovery versions, TWRP (preferred), AMON-RA, CWM Recovery...
annoyed.
Thanks Fly. Any other ideas?

I'm out of ideas. Since your s-on you can't go down to the OTA RUU and try there. Maybe someone else can spread some light.
Well one more idea. Boot your phone into Fastboot. Plug into computer and download a custom recovery to your computer. The command to use is "fastboot boot recovery.img"
If that does work then download http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and flash it inside of recovery. That will give you root inside your stock rom at least.

Hi Fly,
Nothing doing. Can't flash the attached in stock recovery, can't boot into any recoveries with stock flashed or with custom recovery flashed. Seems there must be some new security built into the new RUU? I did note one thing. When I first flash the RUU the hboot banner says relocked (as i have to relock to install an RUU). However, as soon as I flash anything to the recovery partition it adds a new white on black banner that says tampered. Now, i have seen that before when I s-off'd my rezound previously (returned to verizon for audio problems). I never did s-off this particular phone. I don't recall my first phone flagging a new recovery or this phone flagging a new recovery on the old firmware (i could be wrong though as i don't spend a lot of time in hboot).
Still hoping to put a custom recovery on this. Any other way to load a custom rom? i really want to run Neo's AOKP, as I had that on here before I RUU'd. In fact, i got into this position because I was going to s-off the phone, but I had a custom rom. I started looking for RUU's to restore to stock because controlbear wouldn't work with custom rom. Instead of installing an early ICS again, i opted to install the latest RUU.
I searched the forums high and low and wasn't really able to find anyone with this problem. I wonder if there is something wrong with the RUU? I checked the MD5sum and it matched. When flashing recovery i checked the mainver too, so it isn't that... I'm stumped.
This phone wasn't real popular and is gettting old now (man, the lifecycle on phones suck, I had my N1 through many roms and AOSP releases! These new phones are gone in 6 months, a year tops). I doubt anyone is going to trouble themselves to crack a new HBOOT on this phone (this is 2.27).
Only other things i can think (and I haven't tried yet) is trying zergRushing it for temp root to at least remove/freeze the bloat like I did with this phone when I first got it. Or if I can just get a rom installed without a custom recovery I don't flash as often as I used to and figure an upgrade isn't long off. Or if i could downgrade the hboot or install jb hboot...
Would love it if someone had something new to try.
Thanks so much again Fly and happy holidays.
Success! (but how?)
Ok Fly,
I don't get it... not at all. I tried, just for the hell of it, a little more tonight and my phone was happy to flashboot boot TWRP 2.2.2.1 SPECIFICALLY. I was unable to get other versions working or other custom recoveries. I have no IDEA why. I can only think that the recovery partition is too small for some recovery.imgs? but 2.2.2.1 is actually bigger than 2.3.3.0 that you compiled for the rezound. Anyway, i have ROOT! now, my first step before I dork with anything is to S-Off this bad boy so i can move around a little more. I will probably still leave the locked bootloader after that, just to keep me from n00bing up. Haven't tried flashing the twrp recovery yet, don't want to goof up my S-off chances or not give you a chance to ask a question.
If you want some forensics to help others out, please let me know. I am gonna leave this phone alone for a day in case you have questions. There HAS to be some lesson in here. Totally random to me. (last thought) i was running 2.2.2.1 before I ran the RUU... wonder if that has something to do with it?
Thanks again Fly.

Anytime :fingers-crossed:
Crazy how things work like this. But the recovery partition shouldn't be to small to flash a custom recovery. Good luck. Just sounds like one of those rare things that happens.

need help for stock return

I am an unfortunate rookie, and have made mistakes, hence the name. I want to return my phone to stock from htcdev unlock, s-on, hboot 1.5. with a boot loop on meanom ICS for the evo 3d. I have tried to use older ruu shooters. Relock with fastbot oem lock, and then pg86img. However with the bootloop I can not access anything unless I unlock again, and then go into recovery. This is all that I can think of at the moment that might help.
Kill the rookie!!! PLEASE HELP!!
I had much the same problem with my cdma, hboot 1.5, S-On shooter. When I was S-On none of the ICS roms would work. The all bootlooped on me. If you follow the rooting method found here on xda, it will get you back to a stock Rooted GB Rom.
go into hboot -> fastboot USB-> run command dos -> fastboot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.IMG -> flash the 2.17 firmware-> enjoy.
I had to S-off with Juopunutbear, then re-run that root/flash to get past the bootloops.

Unfortunately I have tried that and it still is not working.
My only suggestion would be to try it a few times, other then that, its above my head.

Have you tried one of the ruu exe files that you run from your computer? If you are trying to go stock, you should be able to relock the bootloader and run the ruu and that's it.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
First of all I want to thank everyone that has been attempting to assist me with my problem. I have tried to relock since I am on htcdev unlock and then run an ruu force via my computer. I get an installation aborted error when trying to flash pg86img via recovery. I don't know what else to say.
You can't flash a bootloader zip from recovery. You have to flash it from hboot. Also make sure the zip is named correctly "PG86IMG.zip" without the quotes. Also make sure the zip is on the root of your sd as in not in any folders. Once you've named the zip correctly and placed it correctly then power off the phone. Hold down the volume down button and tap the power button. You should boot into the bootloader wait until the phone recognizes the zip and follow the on screen instructions. Hopefully this helps.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
Thank you again. I tried your directions, it did recognize the pg86img. However it did not give me any instructions to follow. It did however allow me to be able to a partial stock state. My software version is still on the teamgenesis sense v2.9 cdma. Although I do like some of the features on this rom, I would still like to be able to get the OTA of ICS when it is released. Any suggestions?

To get the ota release (if it ever comes ) I do believe you will need to be locked and running the existing gingerbread rom. While I am not positive, I think the system uses the props file to determine if an update is applicable, and it will likely not recognize the teamgenesis rom version as being upgradeable.
Now I will likely get flames for saying this, but if you want to put the meanrom v2.4 of ICS on the phone, it can be done with s-on, you just need to follow the correct process. I ran that rom for a while, and it is very stock like, stable, and has a few enhancements that you will not find on a non-rooted stock rom. I never found anything wrong or not working with that rom.
To get it to load, first I downloaded flashimagegui from market, put the meanrom zip file on the sd card and made sure I had a recovery that I could get into. I am using TWRP v2.1.1, lots of folks talk about others like ext4, and I am only going to say use whichever you like, after all it is your phone.
Then with the phone unlocked via the htc method, I started the flashimage app, and browsed to the meanrom file. It extracted the kernel and flashed it. Once that was done, with clear cache buttons selected, rebooted to recovery, and used the install menu selection of TWRP to again flash the same rom file. Once it flashed the file, selected clear cache and dalvik just to be safe, selected reboot system, and it worked great.
Have a great weekend.
So, apparently I am still doing something wrong. I have put the pg86img on the root, relocked to the bootloader, and let it run it's course. However, it will get through with reading it and stops and does not finish anything with loading the system information. I have also tried to run the ruu via usb connection. I keep running into a c++ issue saying runtime error. I have wiped everything and thankfully I did make a backup of the rom and other information that I was runing so I can currently fall back on that.
I am on hboot 1.5, 2.17, and teamgenesis ICS rom for evo 3d.
Apparently there have been rumors that Sprint has finally released the ICS OTA, not that it really matters anymore, but I have run into a few interesting glitches, such as WIFI not staying connected while asleep or disconnecting.
If I have to I am willing to pay to do a netmeeing with someone in order to be able to fix this.
Sorry if it sounds like I am getting frustrated, but I have tried every walkthrough that I have found and have not had any luck with any of them.
Please help.

[Q] Hboot 1.4 stuck at white htc screen

So, I tried rooting my device with the WinDroid tool. It all worked out fine until I got a custom recovery in.
I got the bootloader unlocked just fine. I'm not sure where I went wrong, but it wiped everything off my device (including the stock ROM. I was going to make a backup this time too... I usually forget).
So, I spent a heck of a long time just trying to get something on. The RUU for Telus is 1.5x and my current device is at 1.2.
I've pretty much resigned myself to waiting for the 1.2 RUU for telus to be released, but until then, is there a way that I can get at least a custom ROM on?
After some mucking I can finally get a .zip pushed to my SD and start to install it. My /system wouldn't mount for the longest time. I had to do a full wipe/format on all partitions to a) get access to my system partition and b) get access even to the internal memory.
I downloaded Elegancia 7.2 and I can get the installer to start and it seems to run just fine and it should be installed.
I fastboot'ed the boot.img. However I'm still just stuck at the white HTC screen.
What device info would you like besides what I've already stated? Am I just using the wrong ROM? If so, what roms are compatible with hboot 1.4?
My CID is TELUS001.
Also, when I try to reboot TWRP it's saying that there is no OS installed....

cyanogon fails to install

Oh how i loathe this POS phone
i have this as my work support phone. It wouldn't reliably stay powered up, any time I did turn it on it took 20+ minutes to acquire data/cell/3g signal. turning on maps crashed the phone. so i figured i'd install a new rom
I have lots of experience with sony ericsson, nexus 4, nexus 7 2012, 2013, acer 10.1 tab. i've done all this stuff before, but i cannot get cyanogen 10 or 11 to install properly, and now my phone sits with a spinning logo doing nothing
i:
unlocked the bootloader as per instructions at htc dev
setup ADB on the phone
first jsut copied the c11.zip to the sd card and tried to install that, same issue on with the HTC logo
used hansoon's kit to sideload c10. claims to have installd, now just spins the logo.
any help would be great.

You give a lot of info in your sig, but nothing there or in your post if you're s-off or on and which recovery you're using. Since, you're Canadian you probably need s-off to flash the latest T-Mobile ruu for the radio. And ext4 seems to be the most trouble-free recovery for the amaze. If s-on you can probably still get CM working if you were already on ICS and flash with smart flash enabled in 4ext. If you're still having issues then try pushing the kernel with adb from hboot wth your pc.
I hope this helps.

Since, you're Canadian you probably need s-off to flash the latest T-Mobile ruu for the radio. And ext4 seems to be the most trouble-free recovery for the amaze. If s-on you can probably still get CM working if you were already on ICS and flash with smart flash enabled in 4ext. If you're still having issues then try pushing the kernel with adb from hboot wth your pc.
I hope this helps.

If you want to flash back to the stock ICS image you need to first relock your bootloader. When you relock it will say relocked when in hboot. The procedure is to place the image in the root of your external SD card and select from hboot. It should recognize and flash back to stock, however everything other than your external SD gets wiped in the process. So you need to make sure you have a good recent backup. Also, you remember when you first HTC dev unlocked they sent you an image to push to unlock? Well, I hope you saved it, because you'll need it again to re-unlock the bootloader after flashing the firmware image, but before attaining s-off.
However, if you were already on your carrier's latest ICS firmware before you started flashing different ROMs, you probably already have their latest radio. If you install the latest 4ext and enable smart flash, you'll probably succeed in installing any of the source built ROMs (ASOP, CM, PACman, evervolv) without s-off, because ROMs built from the source don't have the CID flag in their binaries.
If you still decide to go back and attain s-off the procedure is as follows: 1) relock your bootloader 2) flash the latest stock firmware for the carrier that sold your device. 3) Unlock your bootloader again using the image and commands you previously did to HTC dev unlock the first time, 4) get s-off using the wire-trick 5) flash the hacked hboot (and another radio if you desire, but not required for most ROMs) 6) super CID to remove all carrier locked file / partition limitations and protections 7) Flash your preferred recovery. Because you're now s-off you can use TWRP, CWM, or 4ext since the protected partitions are no longer an issue. 8) Flash any ROM you want provided it's based on ICS or later (below won't work because the radio is incompatible).
Edit: One other thing to note before starting any of this make sure your battery is fully charged. Also, the first time you boot after installing CM or any ASOP based ROM it can take quite some time to go through the process before you get to the login screen. For me it usually takes a little under 10 mins. It may at first appear to be a little sluggish until the rom settles, usually about 10-15 mins.
I hope this helps
