i started i started running mik runny yesterday. I dont know if it was somethign with the rom but. I just updated my prl on dfs and once i went to reboot it wont go past the white htc screen and just keeps bootlooping. I cannot figure it out. Ive wiped everything muiltiple times. my nanadroids do the same thing. New roms too. I even did a factory reset. i dont get it My recovery and fastboot still work though. any other suggestions?
Flashed a new recovery img. i was using twrp2.0 i flashed twrp 1.3 to see if i had any luck with that but no dice. Im downloading the latest RUU now and hopefully that will fix it. Im guessing if it doesnt then something happened to my phone. If im not mistaken flashing the PG86IMG will flash allthe partitions so there would be no reason for it to not work unless of course something happened to the hardware?
Btw Hboot 1.4 and running mikrunny when the bootloop started. Im super confused since it booted fine for me numerous times. The only thing i changed before this reboot was prl and i turned fastboot off earlier. one other thing im downloading RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5 radio 1.00.1216 this isnt going to affect my hboot once flashing right? even if i have to re root thats fine i just dont wanna get stuck in 1.5 prison

TWRP 2.0 has been giving dirty flashes. I had nothing but bad things with it along with other folks. I jumped back to CWM as recovery it has been stable and flashes smooth no dirty flashes.

well im kinda stuck now. I tried to run the ruu for my hboot version and on step 11 system it failed to unzip. so now i have s off still but no recovery. Im gonna try to put cwm back on my sd and hope that it flashes and see if i can get some rom to flash. I cant figure this out i feel like a newb again. fml. Does it matter that it wasnt the first time i booted into the rom for it to be a bad flash like that?
well i think im officially bricked. I ran an older ruu and it failed to unzip system so after much searching i decided to run one of the latest pg86imgs it fully updated succesfully but still bootloops at the htc screen. So now i have a locked hboot 1.5 with s-off. I gotta get some sleep and see what i can do tommorow. from evreything i have read they say im not bricked if im able to do what i have. but i dont understand why nothing will work.

Sup man your not bricked don't worry or even soft bricked lol.
You should of waited on that updated zip reason it's boot loopin or lockin up is due to the phone never got wiped before the update....
Here is the CWM that will work for you. You need to put the img in your platform tools for ADB. Rename the img file to cwm then plug your phone in while in hboot. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm.img this will put the recovery back on your phone man.
In CWM you can mount your phone and copy a rom you downloaded off xda. Take the rom you downloaded open it up on your computer make a copy of the boot.img place that in your platform tools folder. Now mount your phone using CWM copy the romwhich will put it on your sd card. Now wipe everything. Then while in ADB type : adb reboot bootloader this will take you to hboot again now type fastboot flash boot boot.img this will flash the kernel for you. Now go back into recovery and flash your rom.
You should be good to go man. Let me know if you have any questions.
This should get your phone working...
The good thing about the 3vo is dat its unbrickable just always keep a Rom u ones work an always erase scrub thing / factory reset cutting shortcuts don't work in rooting/dev world

Ok so now that i ran that ruu that changed my hboot to 1.5 is that gonna affect how the cwm installs?even though it says s-off. Also for some reason im having trouble running any commands for fastboot. Ive followed a bunch of guides made sure the envinronemtal variables were correct ect, ect but none of the adb commands will work. Maybe its my pc idk.
Since i cant get fastboot to work on my pc do you think i would just be able to reinstall clockworkmod by renaming it on my sd like you do to root in the first place. Then use it to wipe and then try reflashing?
U might have to re unlock it if ur 3vo says locked at the top if not u should have no problem

I was able to re run the pg86img with the 1.4 hboot now im back on hboot 1.4 still with soff and doesnt say locked anymore. I also was able to install recovery again but i used twrp 1.3 since none of the download links i could find were good and the ones that were good were disk img. I tried running virus superwipe tool and reflashing a rom again to see if anyhtign changed but it didnt. i really just wish i could get the commands to work to use fastboot and adb.
One thing i just noticed in recovery i went into mounts and system and data were unmounted and cache and sdcard were mounted. Do i need to mount everything and try again or was that the way it should of been?

I read about the 1.5 with s-off issue a while back when hboot 1.5 first was released. As long as you have s-off, it doesn't really matter what hboot you have. You'll be able to flash entire ROMs (kernel included) in one step just like you could before your issue arose, because you have s-off. I sadly don't have enough experience with fastboot to be able to give you an easy guide to flashing cwm onto your phone though, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.
EDIT: I just realized everything I said now doesn't matter since you're not on hboot 1.5 anymore...sorry about that. reaper24 gave you a link to cwm 4.0.1.4 in post #8 in this thread. Stop using TWRP 1.3, there's already a TWRP 2 specifically for EVO 3D and even the latest TWRP has been having issues. CWM has been completely stable for me on every HTC phone I've ever used (Hero CDMA, EVO 4G and now currently the EVO 3D). CWM 4.0.1.4 is in post #8 of this thread as an attachment (it's a small link in between reaper's post and his signature)

i have the clockwork mod from your link downloaded. That one i have to flash via cmd right? im having trouble getting any commands to work on either pc. However i did get qtadb to work on one of them im able to run all the same commands from the shell on it correct? nevermind on this i dont think this is made for that i may be wrong though.
If so i can flash recovery img then flash new rom boot img ect. .. i was told i have to do via pc in order to flash the boot partition cause thats whats causing my problem.
I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.

i know right. I think what it might be is something i saw earlier about since i flashed the PG86IMG and it took revolutionary off my hboot that i no longer have fastboot. I tried to run some other commands and got the same thing. So for the hell of it i tried to run revolutionary from hbootand fastboot and it just waits for device. But then when i reboot the phone it will recognize it, but it doesnt stay long enough to run revolutionary.No i just have to remember which pg86img it was that made my phone just stay at the white screen so i can run revolutionary. lol
My Evo has been completely trashed and I have no clue what to do.
I have hboot 1.19 s-on and I did the HTCdev unlock, and I rooted it and have the latest version TWRP (i think 2.3.something) with SuperSU installed. I tried to flash a ROM that was supposed to be compatible with with I had but i guess not. Everything was going great but I was stuck on the CM boot screen. After about 30 min of it sitting in that screen I figured something was wrong so i reset it and went back into TWRP. Someone told me to download MeanRom and flash that because its kernel and rom would fix everything. Here's where things get weird. I download MeanRom to my computer and mount my phone in TWRP to move the file over to the phone and when i went to factory reset before flashing it it kept saying unable to mount SD card and Internal Storage. I tried to do a restore my phone to an old back up and that wouldnt even work. So I wipe both caches and try to flash MeanRom anyway. i got a failed error and my phone shut off. Now my phone will only go into the Fastboot thing on the white screen and when i try to go into recovery, it just stays on the TWRP loading screen, not even letting me into the recovery program.
Is there anyway to fix this? My best buy insurance has expired because i missed 3 payments since I'm away at school and not working a whole bunch. So my whole smash it to pieces and get a new one solution is no longer an option.
I'm on a mac by the way so is there something I can enter into terminal to fix this? I don't care about losing any files or anything I'll do whatever I have to, to fix this.
Thanks in advance

Read om4's guide don't panic...hboot 119 s-on you have to flash kernels separately.

I ran into the same problem. Word for word, really. I use a Mac, too. I went through HTCdev unlock, tried to flash a CM10 nightly and ran into a boot loop. No matter what I did, it was stuck. I couldn't restore to a nandroid backup because internal storage wouldn't mount. Couldn't do anything. All I had access to was bootloader and TWRP recovery.
I don't know the specifics of how this fixed it (I'm nothing close to a developer), but this is what I did to get out of it. You will need access to a Windows machine onto which you can download things.
1) If you still have access to fastboot, unroot your phone to stock. Completely stock.
2) Use DirtyRacun S-OFF (you'll need a Windows computer for this). Go through the whole process.
3) Re-root.
Nothing I tried fixed it until I started fresh. I couldn't tell you how it worked, but if you're desperate you really have nothing to lose but a little bit of time by doing the same thing I did.
Hope you get this figured out.

How would i unroot if I cant get into SuperSU since i cant boot up my phone? Do I need to do that first or can i just run the RUU without Going into SuperSU and hitting Unroot?
Also what do I need windows for? Getting S-OFF? Or unrooting?
Also thank you! I really hope this work!
Relock your phone from fastboot then run the RUU. Now you're completely stock.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. But how do i re-lock it from fastboot?
U have to use the cmd window on your windows computer. I did it with mine before I ran dirty racun. It is a simple command but u have to be in the right directory ind the cmd line. Go through and look at the dirty racun guide and it tells u how to re-lock word for word I believe.

What's funny is that all you had to do with s-on is flash the boot.IMG from the ROM via fastboot, just like the first reply said to.
You're doing more work right now than you needed to.
I realize this is a little late, but if you're still having trouble and you're still s-on, go read om4's guide, or get s-off.
If you want to stick with s-on, you will have to fastboot flash the boot.IMG files from the ROM manually.

Yeah i couldn't figure out how to do that. I would ask a question on how to do that and i just kept on getting the response of "google it" "look it up on youtube" or look in the forums. and I wasn't ever sure really where to find it because all my searches for it came up useless.
I just did the RUU on my phone and its finally back up and running! What a relief!!!
Now I'm going to try to get DirtyRacun s-off. How do I put a Custom Rom on my phone with S-off?
With s-off you just flash it in twrp..no extra steps

I wish I'd ran into you when I had the same problem. I wasn't trying to make things more complicated for him, just telling him that when it happened to me, I went back to stock, went with S-OFF, and everything worked fine. At the very least I figured he probably would have just wanted his phone back.

No. You helped me soooooo much! I was literally about to sell my phone for parts or something because everything went wrong that could go wrong and on top of that I couldn't find anything at all on how to fix it. I just did what you said and my phone is fixed! I want to go s-off now but dirtyracun doesn't support windows 7 with 64 bit, it only supports windows 7 with 32bit which I don't have access to. So i'm trying to find another way that is reliable to go S-OFF. It seems like S-OFF is the way to go and it makes everything easier.
If I cant find out how to go S-OFF with the windows 7 64 bit computer, then I guess i'll go S-on HTCdev unlock again and hopefully figure out how to manually flash the ROM or whatever it is that you do with S-ON.

There is an app in the market called Flash Image GUI to use it all you have to do is click on browse in the app search where ever you downloaded your Rom or kernel select it and it will extract and flash the boot.IMG for you. So if you are s on and wanna flash a aosp Rom you can first flash the kernel using the app then it gives you the option to boot directly in to recovery then install as usual wipe system ,data, both caches and flash your Rom that you extracted the kernel from. You can also just flash just a kernel if you want to OC.

Okay so here's whats happens for me.
When i go bigdaddy's way: I put the MeanRom zip on my phone from my computer (MeanRom v64 or what ever the latest one is) I factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic chache, and then go to install find the app and swipe to flash.. everything seems fine until i get an error and fail. It also says there is no MD5 file when i do this.
When I go dandan's way: I have the MeanRom zip on my phone (i've tried this with v64 *or whatever the latest one is* and v34) then i go into flash image GUI and go through finding it and everything. Then i get an error right above the Flash Image button saying "zip file must contain only one of the following: recovery.img, zimage, or a type of boot.img!" On my computer I unzipped the file and looked inside and all I see the boot.img and some folders but no recover or zimage so i dont know what it is talking about.
I really dont want to go through the processes of unrooting and relocking my phone again so i want to do this right. Any help from here on out would be greatly appreciated!
If someone could give me a step by step to follow or something for putting the Latest version of MeanRom on my phone that would be great!! I think i read somewhere that you have to put on the old version of MeanRom first. If that is so, could you also include how i would go about updating from the old version to the new one?

I know this post is really long and I probably put waaayyy more information then I actually needed to but I just want to be safe. It seems like everything I try for putting any Roms on my phone goes wrong with an error or failed message and I really want to do this.
Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Could you kindly provide me a link to the right topic. Do you think my phone is beyond repair ? Have I bricked it ?
I am running 4.0.3 ICS on Sense 3.6

You are far FAR from being bricked. Softbricked yes, hardbricked no.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

That's global too, which seems to be what you'll need.

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.

I am no expert to give u any suggestions but maybe if you could explain how it got bricked in the first place, someone might be able to give u a better solution mate.
I know this has been posted before, but my particular circumstance after reading through many threads has not been covered (as far as i know). I normally flash A LOT of new roms because i'm a bit of a ROM junkie and am always interested in all of you wonderful developers creations. So after flashing may 1000th rom, CM10.1, many times and getting bootloops, i decided to give up and restore the fully functional CM10 I was using prior. Well, after MANY numerous ways of restoring my back up, others roms, stock OEM RUU's/Zips, and bootloader NOTHING will get my phone to get past the WHITE HTC LOGO SCREEN!!!
I at one point couldn't access or mount my internal SD, o kept getting an error message so I connected it to windows and it was recognized and windows prompted me to format the internal SD card because it was "corrupted", so I did and tried flashing again through all the above methods and STILL NOTHING. Now every time i boot into recovery, it sometimes takes 50+ seconds to load or if it does load quicker it says i'm in "safe mode" or "enable 4EXT'S ADVANCED SETTINGS". I'm sorry that this si lengthy, but i'm stumped. Can anyone help me????
When I was on evervolv all my partitions were corrupted according to 4ext. No rom would flash. The only way I was able to recover was to downgrade to an official T-Mobile GB RUU. Once I did that everything was fine and dandy again. Hopefully if you do the same it works for you.
Thank you, I am going to try this today and see if it helps. Did you just put the RUU on the root of the external SD or was it and exe file??
Thanks again for your help!!!

No the ruu should be a zip file not an exe. The ruu's I used are for T-Mobile.
Since your S-Off you should be able to do downgrade and upgrade at will. Sounds like your partitions are messed up. Also make sure your SuperCID as well.
Downgrade your amaze to a GB RUU 1.43.531.3
Check MD5 SUMS
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip
Place on your External SD CARD
Reboot phone into bootloader
Let Phone find update and apply update
Let Phone reboot
If that worked and your able to use your phone
Repeat Steps 1 - 8 and use ICS RUU 2.14.531.3 instead of the GB RUU.
You can't flash an ICS Rom if your firmware is still GB.
Also if you want to get the latest update from T-Mobile that address wifi calling and updates your Firmware and Radio for better battery life and reception follow my guide here

I am having the exact problem as OP but I am S-on, what extra steps do I need to take? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Since I can't allegedly go backwards from JB/ICS to GB when S-on, the only solution I was able to arrive to on my own accord was to format the internal SD in 4ext. Once I did that 4ext was able to see both internal and ext sd and I was able to flash to my heart's content. I think it was a misaligned partition or something. Fortunately everything on the internal SD was backed up already but in the future is there an easier way to do this without formatting sdcard? I re-locked my phone and tried to flash the latest T-Mobile Stock ICS RUU by renaming it to PH85IMG.zip and letting the bootloader flash it but I still got stuck at the white HTC screen at boot.

ive got the same thing going on, mine is s-on boot loader unlocked. i dont have super cid. ive tried the stock ruu t-moblie gb. in boot loader it reads it but afterwards nothing. ive even tried relocking the bootloader and trying that way, that way is a little differnt. if you relock bootloader then it will force itself in fastboot every time you try to turn it on or plug usb in from your pc. but you cant get into 4ext recovery.fastboot will read that ph85img.zip. and will try to update, but it fail and say cid incorect. but if you unlock your bootloader agein then your can get back into 4ext, but then your just at square one agein. idk im sumped. if any one can help that would be a life saver.

You have 2 options here
1. check your cid version download the appropriate ruu for it I've posted a unbranded version ruu in krooks thread and run it while the bootloader is locked..
2. Go to 4ext download a FLASHABLE ROM a gb rom NOT a ruu and flash it from 4ext and turn on smart flash before doing it ...
Either way you get a working device

Still no luck in getting past the splash screen
Well it's been a while since I've posted back on this thread, but I have tried everything that was suggested and i STILL can't get the phone to boot past the HTC Splash screen. I tried flashing many different RUU zips (all renamed PH85IMG) as well as custom ROMS (gingerbread and ICS based) and nothing gets the phone to boot up! They install, but after the phone reboots it's still a no-go. I just don't know what to do anymore. The only thing i can think of is my bootloader is still unlocked, could that have anything to do with this? Like I said earlier my phone is S-ON which makes things more difficult. I'm really hopeless for a solution.
I even mounted the internal and external SD's to the computer and reformatted them. Still doesn't help. Also, my recovery, which is 4EXT, always says i'm in "safe mode" and i have to do something to put it in advanced mode? Please someone help!:crying:

I'm currently using a Macbook Pro and NOT Windows PC. I rooted my Rezound March 2012 with PC at time. Well awhile back I had accidentally deleted some system files from stock gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. Now i'm not able to update my device to ICS to make use of the global capabilities. I installed Scotts ROM 2.3.4 a copy of it but it never recovered the system files that were missing. I would like to be able to S-Off (couldn't perform wire trick) and flash either CM 10.2 (Jelly Bean 4.3) or CM 11.0 (kitkat 4.4). I've read without being on stock baseband radio (ICS) I'm not able to perform a flash to new ROM. Anyone have any suggestions to proceed further? Thanks!
Well first of all you can use rum runner from the general section to soff with out wire trick. You say that the gingerbread boot loader doesn't support fastboot?

ah i see your point well forgot about the mac thing but pc's shouldnt be too scarce maybe use a friend's? cause rumrunner is amazing. and can you not just flash the latest recovery via fastboot and then flash the 4.0.3 stock and then fastboot flash the boot.img then do a system update through settings then root it then install the latest recovery again and then install your rom of your choice and gapps then fastboot flash the boot.img?

That's exactly what I was telling pball52998 I had planned on doing. Except with mac it's difficult and without being able to get to ICS with the radio capabilities I can not go that route. I need to obtain stock gingerbread containing ALL system files including the system OTA update file I originally deleted. When i had to re-do my phone over a year ago and re-flash gingerbread because my device was messed up I was NOT able to access files that I had deleted in system. I was supposed to freeze them not uninstall originally. Unless there's an ICS unoffical ROM with all working radios and global capabilities then I'm forever stuck on Stock gingerbread. Do you understand? And using another persons PC is a no go because i have to install software ADB on their computer and I'm 100% sure they would not be ok with it at all. It's getting late here now. so goodnight to you. :good:

I was supposed to freeze them not uninstall originally. Unless there's an ICS unoffical ROM with all working radios and global capabilities then I'm forever stuck on Stock gingerbread. Do you understand? And using another persons PC is a no go because i have to install software ADB on their computer and I'm 100% sure they would not be ok with it at all. It's getting late here now. so goodnight to you. :good:

yeah well you could flash the stock 2.3.4 again to your phone maybe first just like you would 4.0.3 and then move into 4.0.3 via ota

That's exactly what I was telling pball52998 I had planned on doing. Except with mac it's difficult and without being able to get to ICS with the radio capabilities I can not go that route.

ADB doesn't need to be installed, you can just drop the files into a temp folder, run what you need and delete them.
As for getting your phone up to ICS, this will wipe your phone (including the Internal SD, back up anything you want off to your computer), upgrade your phone to ICS and the hboot to 2.27 which is sufficient for installing JB/KK roms.
As long as your hboot is 2.27 or older and your bootloader is locked, it should work fine, follow the directions on the page. If none of the mirrors work, Raventech has it posted in a thread here also.

Great thank you very much. Now I have two importnant questions in regards to this build. First off can I do this off Mac? Secondly how do I re-lock bootloader? It was unlocked on HTC dev website when I bought it March 2012.
Bricked Rezound?

I relocked the bootloader and had put the renamed PH98IMG.zip (mirror 1) file on my internal sd card. It says in Hboot image not found and will not let me boot into recovery or do a factory reset. I'm stuck! Now what do I do to proceed further?

It needs to be on your external SD then boot into your bootloader.

That's great....Well now I have to wait till after the weekend to do that when my micro sd card reader arrives in the mail. Originally i was installing it on the ext until i thought it was supposed to be on the internal sd. I have no access to the sd cards on my phone right now and cant boot past the ecover screen. Thanks for the help!

The fact you can't get to your hboot is a bigger issue. What hboot did you have installed when you locked it?

This is the originall ROM I reverted to when I had to reinstall Gingerbread couple years ago. "Stock Rooted ROM - Vigor - WWE 2.01.605.11.zip"

You'd need to boot into hboot to get it's version. So pulling the battery then powering on while holding volume down gets you that hboot missing error?

It automatically goes into Hboot and does not recognize any PM98IMG file. To mention the zip extention is not needed. And I put it on the internal sd therefore it can not be read properly by the device. I'll try to take a video of what i'm talking about with my ipod touch. Hold on.

Ahh, I thought you meant you couldn't get into hboot before. Can you run any adb from your mac at all? Might be able to push the file to your SD card that way.
