So I was using CWM 5.0.2.6, then flashed the touch version of CWM because i was getting "installation aborted" error when trying to flash a rom. i was getting the same error when i flashed the touch version, so i decided to go back
I was using command prompt, Now my phone doesnt go past the white HTC screen, and when i try to go into recovery from the bootloader screen it just reboots the device.
any ideas guys?? i did flash a few kernels during the process because i was just changing roms, as i usually do and nothing ever happens.
Try putting the recovery on your SD card and flash through fastboot by pushing power and vol down? You might want to read around, you may have to rename. I've never done it this way

The dev of the ROM you are trying to use never updated the meta-inf script for the new version of CWM

what do you mean? the exact recovery's i was previously using? what would be the difference between putting it in the sd card and flashing, and flashing through command prompt? no disrespesct, i appreciate the fast reply too.

I think you have to rename the recovery to PH85IMG.zip and boot your phone into fastboot, and it should recognize it and flash that way. I'm looking for the forum post now.

You have to notify the dev what I told you or else you can't use newer recoveries for the ROMs you use.

What ROM were you using? If it was 3.5 or the 4th Bar ROMS, I think I've read an issue somewhere on both threads saying you may have to use an older or specific recovery
i was using 3.5 sense, and tried going to beastMod, then got installation aborted on both recoveries =/

its not noticing the file"" it scans in the bootloader then it says "no image"

you can pull the sd card out find a way to hook it up to a pc and delete the PCIMG86 file that it's reading.

you need to somehow flash the boot partition with the boot.img file to stop the boot loop
Just remove the sdcard,then boot phone into bootloader highlight fastboot then from computer extract the boot.img from a ROM and place it inside the platform-tools folder then go fastboot flash boot boot.img and that should fix your problems hope u get it and it helps .... Need more help just PM me

You can also install the new 4EXT recovery touch with smartflash s-on to flash the roms without the need of using fastboot anymore ..hope it helps

You will have to extract the boot.IMG file from the zip file and flash via fastboot flash boot boot.IMG and it will reboot the phone also

Stuck
Hey,
I'm an experienced flasher who got a lil flash happy and is now stuck. I can't get into the recovery because I have a PCIMG86.zip on my sdcard and when I load into the bootloader it automatically tries to update. I don't have another sdcard to use nor do I have sdcard slot on a PC/laptop. Is there anything I can do to get back into recovery?
Boot into your rom and open up a file explorer or file manger and remove the zip or put the zip into a folder.

i think by him saying he's "stuck" means he's not able to boot into the rom.
i dont think there is a way without being able to removing the file first
any other phone that you can throw your sd card into real quick and remove the file?
usually i have my work bb for this stuff but started a new job and my gf now has a iphone. seems like im screwed until i get my hands on an sdcard or another android phone. theres no command to stop the pcimg86 update??

Nope. You have to do what the people in this thread said about a month ago. If you can boot up your phone and restart into recovery you can do that. And don't feel bad I did this earlier when I got flash happy lol. ICS will do that to ya.
Have you tried booting your phone into safe mode ??? Also I noticed you asked is there any command to stop the update does this mean you have adb ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
In bootloader adb doesn't detect the device...same goes with being in recovery.
Also, the bootloader automatically picks up the pcimg86.zip file. I think I messed something else up though cause its not even mounting the sdcard anymore...it's frustrating.
I must've did some damage when trying to force my mem card in while the battery was in as well (I miss the evo 4g when you could do that). So now I need either a) an sdcard reader b) another sdcard or c) another phone cause it doesn't read sdcards anymore....
Having no phone sucks in 2012 :-/

Remove the SDcard so that the bootloader won't find PCIMG86.zip and then boot normally into recovery and put the SD card back in.

I went and tried to load stock rom for my amaze, I had energy before. I used the stock found in these forums. When I flashed it, it hangs on the HTC screen. I can go into recovery (I have CWN 5.5 or whatever the none touch screen) but I can't mount the SD card. I can go into HBOOT just fine.
How can I fix this issue? I was trying to do S-OFF which requires you to have stock rom.
I went and searched for a solution but couldn't find a definite answer.

It doesn't require a stock rom i did it on bulletproof and try flashing TWRP through fastboot and see if that will let you mount you can always extract the stock ruu and flash the images yourself like
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
I couldn't S-OFF with Energy, could of been user error but I was getting errors.

OK I just downloaded Bulletless, not sure if this is a problem but its definitely not somwthing it was doing before. When I go into CWM (recovery), and I go into Install ZIP from SD, it takes me to the internal SD.
Under Mount and Storage Menu, it says SD is mounted and Internal SD unmounted. But its the other way around. When I go to unmount or mount Ext SD, nothing happens, I don't have access to it, only internal SD.
Can I flash this rom using internal sd?

hello
First time, Long time. Just managed to install twrp2.2 and it is a nice ui for any sytem. But my issue is rough.
I was going to install a new rom with a Merto pcs service flashed over from Sprint. Unlocked S-om with rom manager on it
when I received it back. Read alot and many peple claim it is ok to stay with 1.50 so-on, others say to go back to 1.40.
I managed to root the device per maxs evo hacks and until I installed and accidently wiped kel/cashe, System by accident,
Anyways I even tried removing the 8 gig sd card and used a fully backed up same card to try and get recovery img file to boot into.
No luck because it goes into a screen that says (Parsing...[SD ZIP under that it says [1] RECOVERY . Then , Do you want to update
up=yes , down = No. Tried yes and continues bootloop.
Then I tried putting back the other sd card and that allows me to go onto the twrp ui but no ofixes that I know of or can do.
Can anyone help me, I will look out for you, really.
Thanks in advance. D-ACman Florida.
If I read correctly, you need to take out your SD card and put into a PC to remove the pg86100.zip img off of it. Put it back then go back to the bootloader and go to recovery. After that, flash a rom.

Ok I can try that but believe me I tried to do just that when thigs went crazy. So I though I should reinstall stock ruu after accidentally
wipeing my system along with cashe/kalvik/ and complete wipe, I somehow wiped the bootdrive of what it is telling me is the is no OS
installed si I'm at a loss and I k now if I can get into trwp recovery I can get a Rom either stock or other to be read and installed.
Each time I get bootloops and what I'm thinking is I should have take fastboot off when try to install an ICS rom, but that is still not the issue
I just believe I wiped eveything because of the statement on twrp ui that there is no OS installed.
I really appreciate whatever feedback and instructions you can give me. Just tell me what to try or do and I will
Thanks very much.
Download twrp recovery.img file. Put into your adb platform tools folder.
With phone off hold volume down & power.
Once in the bootloader, select fastboot.
Open a command from your platform tools folder. Then type..
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then just flash another ROM. If your sdcard is wiped , just toggle USB mass storage in recovery & transfer from computer.
Hope that helps

Ok woke up early today and I had seen this type of fix on another page on Q&A. SO first I had to get the file but you cant just
open prompt and type a command but I k now I had to go to the tools folder after inserting the .img file. Ok did that.
Since I have always kept my SDk in the root of my C:dr it's easier to hold shift down and right click on the tools folder then I placed the commands and brother, for lack of a better word or terminology,--- Absolutlely nothing happens.
Now am I using the right syntax commands? maybe not but the way you gave me the advice I thought it might get the img file onto the internal
drive of the phone.
Man I tried to even put the trwpzip file onto the sdcard and install it, unfortunetly that did'nt work either. So when I use the file manager
in TWRP2.2 I can see the files in the root of the phone and when I go and tap on the inner usb dr I have no files that I can see.What I might
have to do is to take snapshots of the actual menus I am seeing and perhaps I can get help that way.
I know it is difficult when you can't see exactly what is on my phone screen.
What about the DUMLOCK method within the ui of twrp. I have to digest some info on that section for I have'nt a clue about what the
dumlock does but if it's in the twrp UI it must be of some importance.
I really appreciate what you guys are doing for me and wether I get it fixed with or without your methods I will definately give U points for
taking time out to read my issues. I have not mentioned that I also have a duplicate phone (My 1st EVO) and that one came with 1.40 H-Boot
as opposed to this one with 1.50. nevertheless it is a good feeling, I know, when you can get ur **** running and installing Roms like if it was
a candy store. Im an old school type guy, as far as age is concerned and I am a Self employed Sub HVAC/R TECH and I Love to play with
ANdroid and all that goes with Flashing. I just wish I would have went to school for Computer Programming instead of AC.
But it is what it is. Sorry for the long life history and thanks again, If U can figure something else out please reply. Thanks

Phone is Evo3d Flashed to Metro PCS
phone is unlocked and S-ON
TWRP 2.2 recovery
when noticed I was low on space on my micro sd card I then replaced it witha pny 32 gig class 4 sd card
It comes already formatted 32 fat but I did another clean format on the computer
I replaced or copied everything onto the new card then installed it the working evo 3-d
I was on mikV for a few days but once I got into leedroid tweeks I then decided to just flash my nandroid recovery and go
back to stock.
At that time I was on CWM 4040 or something to that affect.
I noticed the beautiful UI for the TWRP 2.2 and decided to use that recovery.
As soon as I decided to use another custom rom the **** hit the fan.
So now I'm back where I started and I am reading many posts where I think I need to go and relock the phone
then install the stock rom and hopefully that will work.
What I need is to get step by step on the command prompts and computer to recognize the phone
when I try to place the image thats necessary to do the "fastboot lock commands and that it is seen working.
That's where I'm stuck at and am going from this dell laptop computer to my desktop and start the ADK/SDK download
put it in the C: drive and hopefully In the cprompt it will communicate to the phone.
I there a nooby guide to the step by step command procedure to do this?

I need some serious help. My ex-boyfriend rooted my phone, all I know is that it is s-off, locked, and rooted. Now it is trying to update to Ice cream sandwich all the time and it freezes my phone, or makes it shut off and occasionally bricks my phone. So I constantly have to keep pulling my battery and restarting my phone. What should I do? How do I get it to stop trying to push the update and messing up my phone? Or is there a way to get the update to go through?
It depends on the goal you're looking for.
If you want ICS, flash this: http://db.tt/M09JDsfq
Re-name it PH98IMG and place it on the root of your SD card, then reboot into boot loader.
If you want to stay with GB, I think there is an OTA blocker out there, not sure where though.
ICS is better IMO.

I aparently no longer have a recovery. when i boot into recovery all i get is a picture of a phone with a red " ! "..... so how do i reinstall amon ra recovery? and why do i need to download the cwm?
Go download TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613576 and follow the instructions. Make sure you remove any file also named PH98IMG.zip on your SD card as to not confuse them. From here you should be good so long as you are actually S OFF
1. Download the version for your firmware version NOT ROM VERSION
2. Flash the zip via PH98IMG.zip. If you want to flash via fastboot, use the command "fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img" if and pull the recovery.img out of the PH98IMG.zip
Also side note, make sure you are in fact on GB and not on a leaked build of ICS before flashing by going into "about phone" under settings.

I believe Damsel has just flashed the latest leak...see an earlier post.
Damsel: if you want to stick with AmonRA recovery you can get it here. I offer it because that is what you were using before. (Ctrl-S to download, rename ph98img.zip and flash)

ugh ok well now im really confused. ok so if all i did was flash a leak where do i get the real one. and shouldnt i wait to flash the recovery until i slash the correct isc? and i tried flashing the supersu that carngeX told me to but nothing happend on the boot screen. and i just tried flashing amon and nothing happend. i just put that on my memory card and boot into hboot right?

Yes you can hold off on the recovery. The one I gave you needs to be renamed ph98img.zip, placed on the sd card. Then boot into bootloader (battery pull, volume down, power) and it will pick it up and ask you to update.
***EDIT*** ooops you are s-off, so amon ra SHOULD flash if you follow the directions above.
****EDIT **** Regarding the leak...the leak IS what was pushed to owners but with global capabilities and some other fixes. You should keep it...

Make sure it is named ph98img.zip vs. ph98img.zip.zip and that it is on the ext-sd card (the one that you can remove) .
Not sure what you mean by "all it did was show the green". If it scans for ph98img files and doesn't find this one, then its been mis-named or put in the wrong place.

I believe it also has to be in all caps, because in Linux, names are case-sensitive.

Puzzling Please try getting the ph98img file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679 , down near the bottom of post 1 and give that a try.
to be honest, I'm thinking you've got it named PH98IMG.zip.zip . Perhaps you've checked it....view it in windows in the 'details' mode where the file extensions ae shown. Or right mouse click on it and check file name in "properties"..
If you're positive its named correctly, cool, but right now I'm at a loss if this other download doesn't work for you.
FYI: I was wondering about the case sensitive issue so I tried using ph98img.zip vs. PH98IMG.zip and it works.
Here is amon ra 3.15 no need to rename it's already named correctly just put on your SD card and flash in bootloader.

Yay, good news. For pointers, I would just look/read some of the info regarding various ROMS in the Dev section. You should go into recovery and back up what you have now, though. Then, you can flash a rom and if you don't like it, just restore the backup!.... Find an app like titanium backup to backup your apps so it makes restoring things after changing roms a bit easier. I always to to the playstore online from my computer and restore apps that way, and use titanium to just restore the data.....other than that...don't let boyfriends mess with your phone!:

ok i just abacked up! any ideas on creating things like battery widgets and stuff? i was just looking through some other posts and it seems complicated but intersting.
Installed Sabsa Bliss using 4EXT...Installation was successful but when I attempt to boot, phone is stuck in boot window. Prior to installation I wiped everything but SD card. (Twice)...Anyone have a solution for this. My thunderbolt is 4.0.4. No problem installing ICS Liquid Smooth, TB Deodexed, AOKP, etc...
You may need to make sure you fast boot flash the ICS radios.

in the CM9 thread I have posted those radios he is talking about...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42624660&postcount=73
As a Ground Zero tester for Sabsa I know for a fact these radios work!
Follow Up
Thanks for the response...I am having problems flashing the radio. "#fastboot flash zip ./*location*/ICS-PG05IMG.zip'...Can you tell me how this should be written exactly? I am using a windows pc...
If you don't wanna do it via fastboot:
Place radio on root of sd card.
Rename to PG05IMG.zip.
Hold power and volume down - to boot to bootloader.
It will find the zip and ask for confirmation to update.
Press volume bar to update and reboot when done.
Remove the PG05IMG.zip (radio image) from your SD card root after flashing the radio.
It will only try and scan for an update image when that file is present on the root of the sd card.
Anytime you flash a radio image, rename, move, or delete the file afterwords.
You will not be able to boot to recovery until you do so.
You may have to seek out an sd card reader if you do not do this and get stuck in a boot loop.
You may wanna have a second sd card on hand to do this process with or an sd card reader to edit the filename on pc.

# fastboot devices - makes sure it can see it
#fastboot flash zip *zip with any name* - flashes radios
#fastboot erase cache - always a good habit
#fastboot reboot - reboots normally
As long as you have the adb and fastboot files this should work on a PC

I have placed the radio on SD card but it is not found when I go into the bootloader. I have also tried all of the before mentioned tips but none have worked for me so far...

Getting Worse
This is getting bad! Now my phone will only boot into bootloader. I have turned the phone completely off and it still goes to bootloader. I used 4EXT and rebooted, still the same...Is this another version of a Bricked Phone?
Thanks
WOW! Finally got it figured out...The simplest of errors can cause so much frustration....Thanks for all of your help. It is much appreciated...
Thanks but no luck
I was finally able to flash the radio but it still sticks in the start up (white) screen)...

I have had the "auto way" not work for me either...
using fastboot is a fail-proof way (provided you have the correct setup in place)
are you sure you have the correct fastboot and adb files before you start?
adb/fastboot files meant for Windoz will not work on Linux and Vice Versa
I doubt its the radios now. He has the wrong file system for sabsa bliss. It won't work using ext4 file system because of the stock kernel.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
there is a custom kernel now... try that
Also try reverting back to EXT3...
Could not get it to work so I went back to Liquid Smooth...Will keep trying though until I get it.

That is one way of getting things to work.... trial and error.
I am glad you have gotten things resolved.
Yes, I even tried formatting ext4 as well. Each time I have attempted the install, everything checks out. It says it installed successfully but it just won't boot. I went back to Liquid Smooth until I can figure this out...

do a total wipe and format with the option of EXT3... it may not be booting because the kernel you could
be using does not support EXT4... it never hurts to double back and check those options out...
