so, my HTC Evo 3D is bricked, I think. I was bored last night at work and I was moving some apps to my sd card. One of the apps I moved was Plume for Twitter. When I launched Plume, it told me I had to restart my phone for the notification settings to be applied. So I did. It booted up fine but when I turned my screen off when I was done with work, the screen wouldn't unlock. There was just the notification bar and my wallpaper. I couldn't hit any buttons, or slide the notification bar down. I tried calling my phone from work but it just said missed call from work. It boots into bootloader and adb is working. I am downloading PG86IMG.zip now and I'm going to try to flash that unless someone else has a better idea what to do. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance!

Restore from a backup. If you don't have one just gun the PG zip and it should work fine. Just note you will lose everything.

I tried restoring from a backup. I tried factory resetting also. And now its just bringing me to the white HTC screen and not getting any farther. I'm on HBOOT 1.5 and I've been using HTCDumLock to flash roms. Should I just do it the old fashioned way and flash the PG.zip using fastboot?
Have you tried flashing the rom then reboot to recovery via fastboot then flash the kernel. Or flashing the boot partition???

I tried that. But now when I try to copy over the PG.zip file it says I don't have enough space on my SD card so I deleted some things that I don't need and its still saying it. I tried flashing the rom I had before it, and all it says is unable to unzip.
Back up your sd. The format it and restore the default partitions. Then try it.

Flash the Boot.img
you might have a "softbrick" on your hands.. An easy way to fix it is to extract the Boot.img from your current custom rom and then flash it using fastboot like so:
Be sure to cd/ to the location of the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
then Fastboot boot boot.img to restart
Somewhere along the lines you might have accidentaly tried to boot the wrong rom on the wrong boot.img.
Sorry if this doesn't help...

I tried that..no luck. I'm currently using my friends old phone, the Samsung Moment...which is sprints first crack at an android phone. Its a far cry from my EVO 3D, but I will have to live with it until I can figure what I will do next. Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it!

I installed CM7 Alpha last night. I then tried to install Gapps and it got stuck at the white "HTC" bootup screen. I pulled the battery and then tried to install a backup and go back to my old rom, but same thing happened. Kept getting stuck at that same white screen.
So then I try to install TWRP. Even after renaming(PG86IMG) and installing it into the root of the SD card directory, Fastboot doesn't detect it.
It keeps saying "no image or wrong image". Any ideas? I've been trying to figure out ADB as a last resort but it's a bit over my head with that.

Are you S-OFF or just HTC unlocked? Also, how did you root? Also, I know this one is crazy, but did you have .zip at the end of PG86IMG?

I'm S-OFF still. I used revolutionary the first day it came out. I didn't have ".zip" at the end of the PG86IMG either, cause i knew it may be redundant on windows.
I've flashed a ton of sense roms with no issues, so it's kind of worrying me now that I can't figure out how to fix this.
I suspect rom manager has something to do with it. I had CWM as my recovery. While i'm in rom manager, the device list doesn't show Evo 3D as an option, and because rom manager is a system app on cm7, I can't install an updated apk that I downloaded.
So your goal is to install twrp correct? You can just fastboot flash the .img fyi. Also, the PG zip you are flashing, can you check the file extension from your file explorer just to make sure. One more thing, did you zip the TWRP img yourself or download it from the thread?

Well my goal is to get any recovery installed...cause right now I'm stuck. I'd love to be able to install one of my nandroid backups, but it's not working at all. I've tried to fastboot install the img, but the same thing keeps popping up. It basically says to an effect that "no image or wrong image found" The zip i used was direct from the xda thread.
I think I may know how I messed up. I was looking again in rom manager yesterday and since it appears to be an older version, I clicked on Evo 4g as my device type(didn't pay attention..just saw Evo). Today I realized it since Evo 3D isn't even on the list. Could this be screwing up my phone?
Yes, ROM manager, if used incorrectly, can hose you, like any root app. What I said earlier about fastboot, I'll try again. You can use fastboot not hboot to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" i'm almost positive that the code, i'm real tired though. Ilk check back tomorrow when my brain works. Unless someone else answers.

Thanks for the help. I got everything working again. I found a titanium backup apk and then reinstalled the saved rom manager from my sd card. I was then able to get into recovery and finally restore.

Hi I am almost sure i bricked my phone, i can't make it pass the boot screen on any rom i try to put on the recovery. Yes, recovery is working, what i did to make it this state surprises me, I was trying to put Miuiu on my phone, i followed the instructions and downloaded the app called "Flash Image Gui" and well i did, the problem was that after i did, it asked me to install another app and that started giving me errors, i could not make calls just receive, and whenever someone texted me it would tell me than "The customer you are trying to text is temporarily out of service" ...after that i tryed changing to another rom and when i did it kept doing the same errors, not even data worked. well to get to the point i wanted to install miuiu and i did try. i openeed the app flash image gui and tryed to install the rom...after that it told me to boot, and thats the last thing i did before my endless boot screens for all 4 roms i have tried..i dont know what to do anymore. :/
if anybody could help me, i have been trying all day to make it at least show me the homescreen. but nothing passes the bootscreen. it just freezes there..

i was also trying a RUU.exe stock...but i cant go to homescreen for it to be able to detect my phone :/

Your not bricked lol Does your recovery still work? I don't use flash gui...
You might need to flash another recovery to your phone...
What were you using?
As long as you didn't mess around with radios or prl's you should be safe...
Snag another recovery flash it fastboot flash it and find another rom take a copy of the boot.img from it place it in your platform tools folder where adb is is...
Now wipe everything in recovery other then SD card and then
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then go into recovery and flash the rom you wanted....

If your on windows 7 you can just hold shift down right click on the folder adb is in and say open cmd prompt here ..... makes things easy
Where is ADB installed under? Mine is in the platform tools folder.
You open the rom on your computer take a copy of the boot.img
Place it in the folder where adb is... Hook your phone up with the usb cord to computer
Place the rom on you SD card
Then go into recovery and wipe everything like normal
type adb reboot bootloader
then when it says fastboot when your in Hboot type : fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once it's done go into your recovery and flash the rom..

try fastboot (see attached)
Plug phone into computer with usb boot into the bootloader and select fastboot
it should show fastboot USB
Unip the attachment into a folder then move the boot.img from the rom you are using into that folder
open the start here.bat
type fastboot flash boot boot.img
let it work and then your phone should boot
just do that when you wanna flash a new rom.

Dear all,
Here is the situation. I decided to root my evo 3d gsm (hboot 1.5++) today, and all went well until I flashed a rom (virtuous). Now whenever I boot on the phone, it shows me this "V" logo and loads for more than 10minutes or so. I can go into my bootloader, but when I attempt to do anything from my clockworkmod recovery, when I press the power button to select different options, I get blank menus and I can attempt nothing. I am an unexperienced user, and can anyone out there who is experience render some assistance? I am at my wits end...
Thanks
Well I'm not too familier with the gsm version... the "V", is that part of the boot animation? and does it just loop over and over? maybe try reflashing clockworkmod and re wipe and install?

The "V" is the part of the boot animation. And the "V" just glows again and again, yeah so i guess it loops. Why I am so worried is because I saw a window of my HTC sense booting to life earlier on, but I saw the words "Unfortunately... has... crashed..." but it was very brief, and after which the animation began again. Is it because I waited for too short a period of time? (around 15 minutes or so) or because it really boot looped? And how do I reflash clockwordmod when I can't access my phone and sd card? Will appreciate your kind help...
I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for something too boot, and it should really never take longer than that. Can you tell me the steps you took to flash the rom(not to root it). and could you give some more info about your phone? are you s-on or s-off? And what do you mean by blank menus in clockwork mod? Do you know how to boot into your hboot menu? from there you can boot to fastboot and install the recovery from your pc. connect your phone to the pc while in fastboot mode and get your recovery.img file and type the following command from the command line:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img

Ok, here is the infomation. I live in Singapore, which is a part of Southeast Asia, my phone is the GSM version with HBoot 1.530007(i cant remember the decimal placing).
I firstly used HTCDEV to unlock my bootloader, which went well, then I went to evohacks to get the conventional rooting method, which went well too. And it all came when I was careless, and I accidentally forgot to wipe the data and cache of my evo before i flashed the rom. And now it gets stuck in the "V" logo loading phase. If the hboot menu is the menu where I have to press the powerbutton and the volume down button then yes. I can also get into my recovery, but the problem is that it shows a blank menu in (clockwordmod specifically), thus rendering whatever me helpless. i have downloaded the PG86IMG.zip and Im waiting for it to finish. So how do I go about solving this matter? This phone is my only asset and I really want to save it...
Blank menu as in for example when I click "Reboot", or "Factory Reset" or perhaps "Restore" in the CWD Recovery, it just shows me a blank menu with the CWD logo in the background, with no options or drop down words or whatsoever. And the sad thing is that I did not make any recoveries at all.... So I plucked my sd card out, and now im waiting to finish downloading the PG86IMG.zip to put on my sd and into my phone, and flash it to revert it back to stock and stuff..... I hope this works
Ok, well as long as you can get to either hboot or recovery you'll be ok. I would recommend flashing 4ext recovery, as it has never failed me and seems to help others. here is the link to it. Download that and pull the recovery.img out and flash that from your pc with the command I gave above. It sounds like you are either pushing the wrong button in the recovery or it might just be messing up for some reason. Is it the touchscreen version of clockworkmod?

The recovery is the free version, so it shouldn't be the touch one. May I ask, what do you mean by recovery.img? I emptied my SD card so that I can put the PG86IMG.zip into it later. Any more specific steps you can give? Sorry but Im really a newb in the android world

The recovery.img is the image that the phone flashes to install the recovery. If you look in the zip I posted in the link you'll see that file in there. the one I posted is the 4ext touch recovery. you can manually flash that file to your phone in case you can't get it to boot(like your case). I would suggest trying the 4ext recovery I linked, or maybe try to boot to recovery again and see if its touch based. Were the menus working when you flashed the virtuous rom, and then it stopped working?
OH stupid me. Whoops. Actually I CAN navigate. Ive been pressing the wrong button all this while. I pressed the power instead of the camera, which is the select button. Whoops. seems like CMD was working after all. sorry...
ok but still, can I just attempt to install the RUU file I downloaded in the CWD menu? Will it work? Will my phone be reverted back to its original unrooted state? I saw someone say it could...
There is something bugging me though. My SD card is now completely empty. Will it have any negative effects on what i do?
I thought something like that was happening, glad you got it sorted. Try to wipe everything and reinstall your virtious rom again first. yes the PG86IMG.zip will return you back to complete stock, recovery and all. So if you do that you might have to re-root all over again.

If you only wipe /data/ you will still have root. sdcard doesn't matter.

So theoretically flashing the ROM shouldn't take more than... around 15 minutes?
correct
Its now 10 minutes and so far my phone had made 2 major vibrations. So if this doesn't work, can i just wipe all the data again, put the PG86IMG.zip in my phone, go to recovery to install it, and then I just press reboot right?

Sometimes sense roms can take a bit, but if its vibrating than it should be working. if not just put the PG86IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot and let it do its thing. no need to wipe data for that.
I believe I have soft bricked my device. Earlier this morning I installed ARHD, it went into the AROMA Installer and went through the process of picking the mods that I wanted, I hit install & as soon as it hit 99 Percent, I was brought back to TWRP as if I didn't flash anything. Feeling confused, I hit reboot system and after the HTC Screen boots up, it takes me directly back to TWRP. I've never experienced anything like this before, what in the world did I do incorrectly? Please help, feel free to chime in.

Thats not a brick, thats a boot loop of sorts. If I were you I would try flashing back to 100% stock and start over.

Can you tell me where you downloaded the stock rom from so I can have a copy of it just in case I need to go back to stock? Also is this stock rom the T-Mobile stock rom? Thanks.

Downloading now but is this just a flashable zip of the stock software?
It's a NANDROID. Restore NANDROID in recovery mode.

I believe I have soft bricked my device. Earlier this morning I installed ARHD, it went into the AROMA Installer and went through the process of picking the mods that I wanted, I hit install & as soon as it hit 99 Percent, I was brought back to TWRP as if I didn't flash anything. Feeling confused, I hit reboot system and after the HTC Screen boots up, it takes me directly back to TWRP. I've never experienced anything like this before, what in the world did I do incorrectly? Please help, feel free to chime in.

I did the EXACT same thing, except now my internal storage won't mount, rendering the nandroid option useless. I tried flashing it via fastboot to no avail. Any suggestions, outside of waiting for the ruu to be released?

Well considering you're familiar with fastboot, what I did was relock my bootloader, unlocked it again and this time I installed CWM instead of TWRP, used adb sideload connected my device via usb cable, downloaded the stock ROM from @Mike1986 and pushed it to my device and profit. I learned my lesson not to use the touch screen and to use the power button to navigate through Aroma. I hope this helps..

Ironically I was gonna suggest not using touchscreen twrp, that it might be the problem. Only when using Aroma though (I believe). Touchscreen in Aroma using twrp is known to fubar phones at this point.

I wasn't aware of the sideload function, but that worked like a charm. Thank you sir.

im trying to help a user restore a stock t mobile phone. weve tried the recovery linked inthe regular one and t mobile sections(both images are md5 04541031ee82ab95598b3cfbd019ad9c)
we need someone who is unlocked and rooted,yet not permantly flashed recovery to dump the stock one for us. you can simply boot recovery(fastboot boot recovery.img) and make a nandroid,then extract the recovery image,or within the booted OS you can :
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p34
then when its finished,
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p34
the image will be in your adb/fastboot folder to upload.
reply,or shoot me a PM if you can be of assistance. again- you must have the STOCK reovery installed,and be using a t mobile usa device.
thanks

test it but my one is on its way back to tmo. However I was thinking about this earlier. My nandroid was after I unlocked so it had the specific apps removed from unlocking like flashlight and calculator etc. Maybe if those were replaced tampered would go away. Just a thought.

For future reference anytime anyone helps or tries something like this try to makea backup first. In titanium and or nandroid.

thanks very much for the info.
sorry about your sd card. i had no idea that would happen or i would have warned you. seems tho lots of things cause the internal sd to be wiped- ive noticed runnign RUUs has this affect also. if this is a fluke i hope they fix it. if its not its a feature i dont care for.
did you try relocking and doing a factory reset? (both of those will wipe your sd ) i think of putting the stock recovery back is to make tampered go away,those things may be needed.
if you dont want the hassle of relocking and factory reset right now,i competely understand. if anyone else tries it please report and thanks again for flashing for us. it did flash back an apparently working,functional stock recovery,correct?

pretty much anyones nandroid is going to be after unlock,not much way around that. if the missing apps and such are a factor,sounds like we may need to find a way to put them back. or a stinkin RUU
im fairly certain that in your case,tampered stayed becasue the phone did not recognize the stock recovery as its own. for all practical purposes,it could have been CW to the phone
but its quite possible that banner will stay regaurdless what we do,short of running a full ruu(wich will put back the missing apps and such)
Thanks for this!
Alright, I have a problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and had twrp installed. I've flashed back to a stock unrooted T-Mobile .7 ROM. I locked the bootloader just fine.
I cannot update with the latest t-mobile OTA. It boots me back to the bootloader with a Security Warning. I've tried to flash the recovery.img listed in the thread, but it just keeps giving me a signature verify fail.
All I want to do is get this thing back to OTA'ness.

Re-unlock
Reflash stock recovery
Ota(be careful)
Relocked is generally not needed to Ota in my experience,but you can always Relock and re-unlock later

Do you have a T mobile Htc One? It sounds like your not using the right recovery.

Yeah I've downloaded it at least two times already. 3rd times a charm I guess. I'll give it one more go.
Update: It gets about a 3rd of the way through and just goes right to the Red Triangle. The only ROM I had on here before was ARHD, not sure if its something to do with that or not.

Ok well it worked for me so either your not on stock t mobile rom and kernel or you just are not flashing the recovery right. This toolkit is very nice and may help you out if you have not tried it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249074
