Correct. Not there and screwed up 2 16gb cards in the process.

You should only have used the one. It seems others have been able to correct the issue by simply reformatting the card with the phone, not via a USB connection to a computer.

How would I reformat the card with the phone? I am stuck at juopunutbear screen. I can only get to fastboot screen. From there it says no image.

download a kernel, flash it from fastboot. Then reboot, and your ROM will load. Then fix the SDCARD, and try again.

cflo360 when I get to fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip it gets an erroe that says failed remote: 99 unknown fail. Any ideas? Would it be possible to just put a rom on another sd card and flash it?

Pull your battery.. reinsert and hold volume down and the power button. Make sure phone is plugged in or replug in phone if you took it off to reboot. Should be in Hboot now, press power to select fastboot if it is white lettering over blue background. If it is red background your already in fastboot and if connected should say fastbootusb.
1. open a copy of the rom your on either with 7 zip or since your not adding anything to it unzip it .
2. find the folder that says kernel, now you will either see a PH98IMG.zip or you will see a file that his white with a silver circle called boot. That is the raw boot.img. If it is the ph zip simply unzip it and you will see the boot.img.
3. Now , remove the boot.img and place it in the same folder your fastboot is located , generally the place you unlocked with.
4. Then, bring up a command prompt the same way you did to unlock. change directory if needed by cd c:\thenthenameofthefoldrecontainingfastboot.
5. Simply type fastboot boot boot.img
6. you will see sending " size of img".. receiving "size of img ", then writing .. and it will end and tell you how many seconds it took.
Now, simply use the reboot selection from bootloader or with the command prompt type abd reboot and your phone should reboot and you will be back on your rom.

The reason you keep booting to the jBear screen is because the jBear process replaced your KERNEL. You need to find the kernel img file for YOUR operating system or ROM. If you are on GB, find a GB kernel. If on the ICS Leak, you need to find the ICS Leak kernel. If on a ROM, get that ROM's kernel file.
Then the commands on the PC are:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Another option is to use Hansoon's Rezound All-in-one-kit to flash the stock kernel for you.

no offense, but if you honestly cannot at least search to figure out how to do a fastboot command as simple as fastboot flash, then you should stay clear of s-off...
but that's my opinion.
and I'm really not saying this to be an ass.
just don't want to see you brick your phone.

[Q] lost my recovery cant enter

I used revalutionary to root and it worked great but I tried to use Rom Manager to load a rom and since it made me install CWM Recovery. I now do not have a recovery. when in bootloader it will scan for PG86IMG.zip but it is scanning for PC86IAG.zip. Can some help me fix this.

Screw CWM and ROM manager...take the extra 20 seconds it takes and just boot to recovery by hand. flash TWRP and be done with it.
EDIT: Sorry, here, http://www.techerrata.com/dl.php?path=27&file=PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip download that, unzip it and then download fastboot from here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 then type "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" , make sure all of these files are in the same directory....oh yeah, with no quotes.
I must be stupid
I cant get fastboot to work. Does it work on win7 64bit comp? I put the phone in fastboot usb mode and go to the comp and try to run fastboot but all it does is flashes for like a mil sec and does nothing.

You've gotta go to the command prompt....
So, first download and unzip all of the files into a folder called "recovery" (no quotes)....
or click start, click run, type "cmd" then hit enter. then type "cd Desktop/recovery" (no quotes).... then type in the fastboot command I gave you above.
ok, well thank you soooo much for your help, but I still cant get tis to work.
1 How do I get my comp to now to flash the comand to my phone, do i have the phone in charge, disc drive or go into fastboot?
2. the comand you told me to type into the cmd was 1.0.0.IMG BUT the file is 1.1.0.zip
I had a friend that is very smart with cmd promp and he was confused with how running this on the computer -- to get it to the phone.
all we got was an error that it could not find the path
Just follow the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192643
Basically download a recovery rename it to PC86IAG.zip power on using vol down and power the recovery will flash and then reboot and delete PC86IAG.zip.
Or turn off quickboot settings/power uncheck quickboot and then reboot your phone and I bet you will have your CWM recovery, but you need to do the above or a battery pull to do a real restart.

Dont bother with all that cmd prompt crap you dont need to follow what I said. Easiest way is the battery pull then reboot to recovery.

Download that file. (it's TWRP recovery). Rename it to PG86IMG.zip. (if you're on windows, remember that the '.zip' extension won't show, and is already there. So just rename it PG86IMG). Then place the file on the main directory of your sd card. Shut your phone off, and boot into the bootloader. It will scan and find the PG86IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Press volume up to say yes. It will finish. Then reboot. Then shut phone off and boot back to bootloader. Select the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should then successfully boot into recovery. That's all you should need to do. And as daneurysm said, forget about Rom manager, and do your wiping and flashing manually, from the recovery menu. You'll have less troubles that way.
EDIT: After you get recovery working, flash this http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...echerrata.com/toastcfh/Shoot...d-unsigned.zip, and then you'll be fully rooted. At that point, I suggest downloading "quickboot" app, and you can use that to boot to recovery or bootloader much quicker and easier. Have fun.

Yea, your response wasnt there when I started typing mine. I started typing it, then had to get some pizza out of the oven and cut it up. Then got back to my response. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder or anything. Also, you said to rename it to PC86IAG.zip or something....does that work? I've only used PG86IMG.zip. Just curious if you made a typo, or if you can use either one.

Thank you guys very very much. That fixed it, my phone is back. All that needed to be done was to rename the PG86IMG.ZIP file to PG86IMG and restart the phone into recovery. Thanks again to all that helped.

The problem is you let clockwork flash recovery when rom manager per say doesn't support or list the Evo 3D for a recovery to flash. As the earlier poster suggested Quickboot works great
wrong

Rom manager does support Evo 3d and clockworkmod recovery. Everything is working fine or me.

1.5, used Flash image gui, can't restore back up, cant load roms, white htc screen.

Hey guys.
I am assuming my phone is not "bricked" because I can still get to the clockworkmod interface and mount usb and things like that, but I cant get any roms to load. I followed all the instructions and multiple videos to make sure I did my 1.5 right. Seems to be find as far as root. When I logged in to my old backup i had superuser and all.
I tried to install the WARM rom, but didnt work, so i restored my backup and bought Flash Image GUI which then I loaded the WARM zip and it said it found the Kernel and went to install it. It then asked me to reboot, which I did, and then proceeded to install the rest of the ROM via clockwork install ZIP, after doing that I can no longer even restore my backup.
If i try to load WARM, it just sits at white HTC screen and never changes. If I try to load MIUI, it loads to HTC screen, makes a sound and then goes black forever with backlight on but black and buttons lit.
That is all I can currently do. My backup no longer loads or works.
Is my phone bricked? I dont think so since I can get to clockworkmod, but what can I do to try to get it back up and running?
Thanks,
M374llic4.
Your kernel is most likely the problem. When using the the flash image GUI, dont accept when it asks you to reboot, manually hold down the power button and reboot yourself. Hook up your phone to the computer and boot into fastboot usb and fastboot boot recovery.img then install the warm rom. This will ensure you have access to flash the kernel.

A friend kinda having a similiar issue with this.. but I tried this all on his computer and not sure if it's driver issues or not.. but I can't get adb to communicate with this phone.. when I use " adb device's " it doesn't show up.. but If i plug my phone it - it picks it up.. Same issue as the guy above it seems.. but when I go into the boot loader - click fastboot and it picks up the usb.. i still can't get them to talk.. any idea's?

When you rooted your phone, you should have downloaded a folder called newevo3droot or something like that. There's adb files, fastboot..etc and this is how you would have flashed clockworl recovery. Since you are on hboot 1.5, you need to go into fastboot and connect usb so that it says fastboot-usb, then you need to run the command fastboot boot recovery.img. Recovery.img is the name of the recovery image file in that folder. I think it's something like cwm******.img
I did download that, and had some help from someone in the IRC channel and he got me back up up and running! Turns out you have to use USB fastboot on the phone along with fastboot.exe via cmd prompt on the pc with the CWM.exe to load the kernel, then once you do that, you use the phone cwm load from zip to load the rest of the rom and you are good to go!

Yeah, thats what I did with some help from a fellow XDA member via IRC and it worked perfect! I was trying to do it all via the CWM on the phone side only, not via command prompt which was my issue.

[Q] Wont load past white HTC screen.

Just flashed the latest MIUI Rom and now I can't get passed the White screen with the green "HTC"
Do I have to have S-off?
I've had my rezound unlocked since the day I got it 8 months ago but just now decided to flash it, I used to have a INC and rooted and flashed that years ago but i'm a little rusty now,

If you are s-on, you have to flash the kernel separately. I'm not familiar with the MIUI rom, but go back and read the installation instructions but it certainly sounds like that is your problem.

What version of Windows are u running? I was having similar problems on Windows 8 and I think it was a driver issue. I never resolved the problem, just switched to a laptop running something other than Win8. Worked like a charm then! Are you using Hasoon All In One tool? That may help if ur a little n00bish like me!

yes you need a pc. have fastboot as well as adb installed and working. if you do not have fastboot downloaded and installed, it will NOT work. if you dont have it just google it and it shouldnt be hard to find. Also, you must have the correct drivers installed for the rezound
1. Open the rom.zip file (that you download) and extract the boot.img file to the same directory that fastboot is installed.
2. Put the rom.zip file on the root of your sd card.
the rest is done from the command line
3. In command prompt, run "adb devices" and confirm that your phone shows up. (if yes, proceed) (if not, go back and confirm you have the correct drivers installed)
4. run "adb reboot recovery", wipe, and flash your rom in recovery (self explanitory) if you need help with this part, im sorry.
5. after the rom finishes its flashing process, run "adb reboot bootloader"
6. when the bootloader comes up, run "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
7. after that flashes, you should be good to go. just run "fastboot reboot" and youre done

Boot loop problem! Please help!

I'm pretty inexperienced with rooting.. I think I may have messed my brother's phone up. I rooted his rezound and got cwm recovery working. I tried to flash a "TACHYON-1.2.zip" rom I found here and now it won't boot past the white background with green htc screen when I try to boot the phone. Please help me try to fix this! I can still boot into cwm recovery.
[EDIT] When I wipe data/factory rest it says error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
This was probably a mistake but I'm freaking out. I put CleanROM Standard 4.5.zip from here https://www.copy.com/s/uYOSaNCntCvx/CleanROM on another sd card and installed it after tying to wipe again. Now it boots past the htc screen and the CleanROM screen boots for a minute, then sticks..

You need to extract and flash the boot.img file from the ROM zip separately via fastboot. Extract the file and place it in an easy to access place on the drive (like same place as fastboot/adb) , then after flashing the ROM reboot into hboot and start fastboot, and use:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot and be patient, sometimes the first boot seems to take forever.

Thank you for the reply, and sorry if I ask too many questions, but how exactly do I flash the boot.img file? In CMD? There isn't a flash option in my fastboot section of the phone, just BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER and POWER DOWN.

Thank you for the reply, and sorry if I ask too many questions, but how exactly do I flash the boot.img file? In CMD? There isn't a flash option in my fastboot section of the phone, just BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER and POWER DOWN.

You start fastboot in the phone, that puts it in a mode to enter fastboot commands from a PC... You Don't do anything in the phone in fastboot, you use the fastboot command that is part of the ADB package. The same way you would have unlocked the phone on HTCdev.com to allow root or CWM to be installed.

To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom.

Thank both of you so much! I'm sorry I had to have you completely spell it out for me, but I appreciate the help and this forum in general so much!
I hate to bring this thread back, but it's the best place to ask about my problem. I'm trying to switch from Clean Rom on an HTC Rezound to Venasaur Rom v3.2.0 because I read that it will work with a Straight Talk sim. I tried installing with ClockWork and I get the new rom's boot screen, but it won't boot past that. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me out again!
Did you flash the boot.img this time? I would suggest after you get booted, trying rumrunner to go S-off... It saves sooo much time... I'm always switching between multiple ROMs because I'm s-off....

... you should remember one thing for sure. Because you are s-on whenever you flash any custom rom, you have to flash its corresponding boot.img file in fastboot separately otherwise you are gonna get bootloop ...

... and yeah. you should try to get s-off as you are already been suggested above ...

Well, without knowing any details about your phone and what update you were on, which recovery you used, whether or not you are S-On / S-Off, then we're just shooting in the dark trying to help.
If fastboot flashes for a sec and closes, then you are not using fastboot right. You have to run it from the Command Prompt. You don't double click on the fastboot.exe .
Can you still get to the bootloader mode?
And I have to ask, but you're sure you got the right rom from the right forum as there are quite a few different variants of the Desire...?

How do I open fastboot from a command prompt I just need to know what to type.
I can still get into bootloader fine on the phone and my pc knows its contected via usb.
I know the phone was running a different recovery mode than standard but I don't know witch one. I think it may have been xloader or something with a x.
Its a standard desire. Regards Wayne
I have manged to load bootloader with command prompt and I want to remove the rom I have installed how do I go about this? Regards again, Wayne
O.K so I have loaded up bootloader and thought -w would be the command I am looking for, all I get from bootload on my computer is: waiting for device. I have attached a screen shot. Regards Wayne
You'll have to find an appropriate recovery.img and use fastboot to install. Make sure the img file is in the fastboot directory and while connected in bootloader/fastboot mode:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the name of your file - it can be whatever.img and you can rename it to whatever you want as long as you don't change the extension .img)
and see if you can boot to recovery at that point. If not, then you will probably have to use an RUU to return to stock and start over.
If you can get into the custom recovery, then you can reinstall another rom. Keep in mind, if S-On, then you will probably need to use fastboot to install the boot.img like so:
fastboot flash boot boot.img (here boot.img should remain named that)
