Hello all,
I had the CWM installed, and my phone died when I was asleep, down to 0%.
Now, it won't charge. I got a half charged battery in today, so I'll be able to do some things.
The phone is S-off.
Anyways, I would like to know how I would be able to:
-Remove CWM
-Recovery EVERYTHING to factory default
Also, I'm kind of a noob, so when it comes to telling me to let's say "flash amonra", please tell me how, or link to thread or something. If you can.
All help is appreciated...If I don't get this fixed I won't have a phone for a couple years.
Also, a tip: HTC Keeps track of those who unlock the bootloader on their phone, and tell Verizon. Which is how they find out even if you reflash, relock, etc.
First thing to do is get rid of that recovery! Soo many issues and you can use either the TWRP 2.1.1 recovery or AmonRA 3.15 (located in the dev threads). CWM causes phone charging issues (as you are aware) and I recommend not using it.
Are you familiar with flashing a recovery in fastboot? Were you running GB or ICS firmware?
I suggest you familiarize yourself with all the root lingo contained in this thread.

I believe you would use the command "fastboot flash recovery [file].img".
I wasn't running the IceCreamSandwich update, pretty sure of that. So it must be the GB. I would like to know how to remove the CWM.

Yes that command is correct you just have to make sure the recovery file is in same folder as your fastboot.exe.
AmonRa recover is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19205213

Well, I fixed it. Or at least it seems. All I had to do was flash the latest RUU (which was actually the currently installed rom on my phone).
Well, hopefully clockworkmod is GONE.

CWM was great on my Incredible...but I've had the same problem you did with charging issues, not to mention backups that would freeze in mid stream.
Flashing a RUU was the only way I could find to fix it.

I rooted my LTEvo using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 and now, when my phone is off and I plug a charger in, it automatically boots into fastboot. This happens with both USB and AC. I don't press any buttons, just plug the charger in.
Suggestions? Thanks!
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, weird.
The issue was resolved by doing a full root and installing viperROM. Most likely an issue with the method listed above or trying to install TWRP while the bootloader was still locked.

Full root vs partial root. Please explain?
I suppose I meant rooting vs. unlocking the bootloader. I used the batch file method in the original post to root and install SU. I then used Goomanager to try flashing TWRP, but the phone just rebooted. The issue started occurring at that point, but stopped when I unlocked the bootloader using HTCdev.com and installed viperROM.

I had this same problem. I fix it by re-flashing the stock recovery via Android Terminal Emulator

Sounds like that would have done it for me as well. I'm guessing the stock recovery got corrupted somehow when I tried flashing TWRP with a locked bootloader.

I'm having the same problem and also still have a locked bootloader too. I did like AmonReviled stated and had tried to install TWRP recovery after only rooting with Zedomax method and have been seeing this issue since then.
Since I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now, I really don't want to get into unlocking the bootloader and heading down the custom recovery and custom ROM road just yet so I'd like to be able to just restore the default HTC stock recovery without losing any of the rest of my data or having to reinstall everything. Especially since I sometimes like to charge my phone while completely powered off, and this issue has made that impossible.
Shook187, can you tell me how you were able to reflash the stock recovery through Android Terminal Emulator? I already have the app on my LTEvo but I'm assuming I also need access to a stock recovery image? Theoretically I'd like to be able to restore just the recovery partition to stock without losing/erasing any of the rest of the data on my phone.
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDITED TO ADD: Nevermind, I got it, and it didn't delete any of my data. I used the recovery image and instructions from the OP in the Clockwork Recovery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675430 in case anyone else is wondering.
Was running NRG GB just fine. When giving the phone to the wife I decided to upgrade to ICS. Used CWM to wipe data, cache, etc, and installed, got freeze on HTC logo. Started using Superwipe before each try and also tried flashing several different kernels including the one inside the zip and the one included with the amaze stock kernel flasher. Now the best I can get is 5 seconds into the Energy spinning rings logo before a 5s freeze and reboot.
The only thing I haven't tried is firmware; I've seen references to "find it on the forums" but copious forum and google searches don't seem to lead to the ICS firmware itself. Can anyone help with that or point out what I'm forgetting?
In the meantime I will try installing the ICS stock ROM first and see where that gets me.

Do just that, remember to lock your bootloader if you're s-on and yes, jumping to an ICS rom without updating your device caused the bootloop.

Thanks for the reply! I'm downloading PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed.zip from filefactory, it's taking forever. Am I flashing this with CWM? Or should I be downloading a GB factory ROM and using that instead, then re-locking the bootloader and trying to update over the air?

Don't download that one, it has issues, hold up, I'll give you a link to the most recent file.
Here, get this: http://d-h.st/3VD
Download speed should be faster as well. rename it PH85IMG and place it on your sd card after you relock your bootloader, then boot into bootloader, it's gonna detect the file and ask you if you wanna update, follow the on screen instructions to update, voila! Follow the basics to install the new energy rom.
It's almost as tho NO One reads anymore. It's actually getting kinda ridiculous how many times the same issue is gonna be asked.
I know this post isn't very helpful but I'm sure most of the recognized/senior/not noobs members are getting frustrated.

It is useful, I fully agree with you, it's like we come here to answer the same questions over and over, but I'm just trying to be nice, cause I usually just say, read the amaze bible, but then they go and do something even more noobish, so to avoid the tear jerks I just give the basic info, though I'm fading away slowly.
Thanks'd for the link and the help. I was gonna get mad about being called a noob who can't read, but I guess it's a small price to pay for instant, free help. Keep on rockin' XDA.
I came across this issue. As earlier posts said, install the new ICS update. The partitions were messed up and the ruu will clean it up.

Lol, never pointed fingers buddy, so calm down.
Maybe I should create a new topic but my issue is similar to this one except for the fact that I read quite a lot and tried quite a few things.
My situation is that I made a backup with cwm only booted not flashed so I have the 100% stock backed up, after this I flashed cwm and tried to install the Energy rom based on ics and that was my mistake as I used to be on a Nexus device I didn't have to worry about this.
So I got stuck on a bootloop and tried factory reset/wiping everything, tried to reinstall a stock ROM (t-mobile one as I only found a .exe for the videotron one and I did not feel like exploring the exe as I am a Linux user) by relocking bootloader and using the HTC method, tried to install manually the stock Kernel with Energy ROM using adb and fastboot commands, tried to restore my backup but nothing seems to work, I'm still bootlooping.
Is-it possible to s-off without a regular adb access (only the cwm adb access)? And would s-off allow me to flash anything as I wish? Is there a way to have any ROM working on my device? (i know the answer is yes to the last one, at least )
Thanks!

Maybe I'm a noob on this forum but it's far to be the first time I face a problem in software configuration/installation and I read quite enough (spent about five hours on xda, google, etc.) to say that you should at least help me a bit by linking me to a thread where I can find an answer.
I know my mistake was to install ics at first but now I flashed the stock recovery back, I relocked the bootloader via fastboot and put the file on the root of my sdcard renamed correctly that it be detected automaticly (and it apparently does install) but I still got the * bootloop.
I'm able to read a manual and to read the Amaze 4G bible four times to try to point out the detail I forgot. I made my homework and now it would only be nice from you that you help me a bit...

Okay okay, calm down, there's currently only one method of going about restoring your device since you're s-on and no you cannot s-off with just cwm adb, I think JB s-off method is only an exe file, never saw linux files anywhere on his site. Anyways, you have to use the GB exe for videotron and restore to stock via it then update to ics to use the most recent energy rom, BUT if you just want a working device, this is just an idea, though it should work fine, you can flash a custom recovery and flash the GB version of energy rom, you should be able to restore your backup as well, but you said you can't, which is odd, it may be because of the kernel not being flashable as since CWM cannot flash kernels while s-on, in which case I'd advise you to get 4EXT recovery and then try restoring your back once again, it should work fine since 4EXT can flash kernels while S-ON.
My two cents.
Well, 4ext doesn't works, apparently it flashes correctly but I can't boot in it so can't even try to restore my backup, s-off doesn't works from cwm and my device has to be booted to work with Videotron's exe (or I badly installed my drivers, I nerver understand properly the 899363 drivers per device I have to install for an android phone on Windows?)
Smells bad... I checked the 4ext's md5sum and it's alright, I took it from the fastboot installable img in direct dl from the thread in the Amaze bible.
Any idea?
Oh and there is a JB s-off executable for Linux on his site. After all I guess it is mostly adb commands?

I got lost halfway through that post, after flashing a rom, if the kernel isn't flashed (reboots and does it automatically), then flash the kernel manually, should boot fine, does anyone ever really read anymore? This very issue both s-on and s-off has been answered more times today than I can count. If you read the details on JB's site, you'd see and know all you need to.
Right, I'va already flashed manually the stock kernel as sais in the NRGRom thread without success before my first post here, will look at different kernels.

How did you go about flashing the kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
There was a flash.sh file in the zip with the kernel, I couldn't run it normally as I can't boot but I went in cwm (maybe I should have used 4ext, don't think so for this part) executed the adb commands there were in the sh file with all filesystems mounted, rebooted into fastboot and flashed the kernel image. Maybe there are differents /system when in cwm and when booted on regular system... Will figure that out when I have time to spend on this, as soon as possible.
Thanks for all the cues!

Okay here's a few tips, cwm cannot flash kernels with son devices, get 4ext recovery for that. Second thing, reflash the from after doing a super wipe, if 4ext doesnt reboot and flash the kernel, do it manually, ill assume you know how to use ad, if not check my Bible tutorial on it, use the boot command for flashing boot images, take the boot file from the zip file, place it in the folder where your adb files are and flash it to your device while its in fastboot mode.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Well, I think I have done all you mention above, the only thing i'm not sure to understand is what you mean by "super wipe" I found some executables about it but I guess it can't do much more than the flash all partitions (except external sdcard) in 4ext recovery wich I finally managed to install properly.
So, I made that global formatting thing, I tried to install an ICS based ROM and 4ext rebooted to install kernel, same bootloop. Tried to install manually the kernel that came with this rom via the classic fastboot flash boot boot.img. Same bootloop. Tried to put the modules manually via the recovery adb access (performing a mount -a in adb shell to have everything present in fstab mounted) and flashing this stock kernel with no more success.
Achieved the same operations with a GB based ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535173) with both the faux and the stock kernel without any more success.
Did I miss something? Am I so dumb? Do you have any other rom to suggest that have higher chances to succeed?
Do you think trying to restore my sotck nandroid with 4ext has more chances to succeed?
Thanks, again and always!
Yesterday I was running Viper's ROM and it worked flawlessly. A friend added some ROM manager on my phone, and it's been screwed up ever since. I tried flashing to a new ROM, no realizing it was Clockwork recovery. I was able to get Scott ROM to somewhat boot but it restarts randomly.
Viper ROM says to make sure you don't use Clockwork recovery. How can I ensure that is no longer on my phone? Secondly, with S-ON can I get Armona or another recovery tool?
Help.. what can I do to get the phone back to normal?
Greatly appreciate any help to restore my phone back.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can flash amon ra through bootloader and reinstall ROM from there.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
get the RA 3.15 recovery image file. rename to recovery.img and move it to where fastboot is on your PC assuming you have the sdk/tools/drivers configured like you would for using adb. reboot to bootloader for fastboot-usb when your usb cord is plugged in. the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes and you'll be back in business

Fastboot flash this to get amonra recovery back. Make sure you WIPE before you set up your next rom for no issues
At work they shut off the ability to charge via USB. Found an alt source.
The phone now boots up, but randomly restarts.

Want to make sure have the steps right.
Have a macbook, does this need to be done on a pc?
In recovery mount USB.
Put the file on the root (not in a folder)
Get to the fastboot menu and execute.
Please correct
Not sure if you need it or not, but I have a zip file that contains AmonRa 3.15. You can install it as a PH98IMG in bootloader. It is what I use to re-install AmonRa when needed. Apparently, I do not have enough posts to attach it so PM me your e-mail address if you would like me to send it to you.
pmgreen, it looks like Roman and the guys above took good care of you already but if you're still having problems I would be glad to do a remote session and help you get it straightened out.
Unfortunately friends can wreak havoc on your phone with things like this, but we will make sure you get all fixed up.

CharliesTheMan, thanks for the offer I greatly appreciate it. Thought the battery issue was resolved, but now it doesn't want to turn back on
Friend meant well, but lesson learned.
Will definitely take you up on the generous offer if there isn't success.
I took the file from Roman but got the following error: main version is older update fail rezound
On a MAC I tried to fastboot using the recovery file, but getting an error "Waiting on device to respond"
Silly question, I used the MAC to root a Nexus 7 and used a different PC for the rezound
Do you need to use the same computer to ABD?
Good news, I'm up and running. Flashed SetMainVersionLOW.zip then the recovery from Roman.
When I go into recovery no longer see that hat.
Thanks so much for your help.. really appreciate it and hope I help out some time too
Glad to hear that you are back up and running!
Hey Everyone! So here's the quick nitty gritty...
Flashed Clean Rom Standard and Left S-On
Worked great for about 8 months
Started crashing like crazy and the only fix was to go back to stock
Went to stock and then unlocked, S is still On

Can't get any aftermarket S-On Roms to work
It can never see a PH98IMG.zip file via fastboot/bootloader
So I'm stuck and I don't know what to do
Anyway, that's where I'm at. Right now the phone is working just fine but stock roms suck and it's FULL of bloatware that I can't get rid of. So...any ideas on what I can do? I'd love to use Clean Rom once again but I can't get the PH98 file to flash

The newer roms are mostly made for S-OFF and do not create a ph98img file to flash with the boot.img you have to manually do it.
You should be able to flash by extracting the boot.img from the rom you want to flash, place it in your fast boot folder on your PC,
Open command prompt in that folder, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hope this helps
Just saw your location

I'll chime in, but would say that getting acquainted with how ADB works from the PC would be of great help to you. I don't like it either, which is why I s-offed. It does occur to me though that, at the very least, you are rooted, so Titanium Backup will help you freeze and/or uninstall bloat. I just had to RUU because I borked my internal storage and I am running stock, without all of Big Reds crap, and I'm actually enjoying it for a few days...
Good Luck from the mid west!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't see a way around your problem if you're unwilling to learn how to do things with fastboot or adb or (possibly) both. They're easy to figure out for basic operations, so just do it! (Hey, you're flashing custom ROMs, ya gotta give a little too! )
Good luck,

There is one way to acquire temp "s-off" meaning you can flash ROMs in recovery and the boot image flash with it. It does do heavy work on your boot partition though. TWRP HTCdumlock there is instructions in flyhalf's TWRP thread to do this method
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
Don't use CWM plain and simple. Switch over to TWRP. Only con, rebooting to bootloader manually. Also make sure you do a system/data/cache wipe prior to switching roms.
There is always the all in one tool that you can flash the kernel from but you still need to extract the boot img from the rom
I just rooted my phone, installed 2 different kernels, my phone's wifi now only 'Error's I factory restored (flash recovery with stock Evo info.)
Honestly I feel really stupid. I can't even flash my TWRP back on. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly new to Rooting and its customizations. Thank you.

Honestly I feel really stupid. I can't even flash my TWRP back on. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly new to Rooting and its customizations. Thank you.

Can you access your recovery

It might also help to post what ROM you were running, along with what two kernels you flashed. Certain kernels only work with certain ROM's (AOSP kernels don't work on Sense ROM's, and vice-versa). Take a look at the top link in my sig. At the bottom is a few helpful links. om4 has an excellent "Don't Panic" guide that contains some excellent info and really should be required reading for new users.

I had no access to my TWRP Recovery, I actually fixed that though.
The Kernel is changed and now I have no Data access? I think my ROM is not compatible like suggested. (Sense ROM)

The current situations has changed sadly.
I have no custom ROM just Sense.
The Kernel: Bulletproof-EVO-v1.4.
ROM: Default Sense?
This is my first attempt at really rooting/adding kernels just messing around and doing damage.
Now instead of WiFi I have no Data Service with this Kernel and ROM combo. I will check out your links thank you very much.

Now my phone is stuck in bootloop I even tried to remove TWRP recovery to to StockRecovery...
Just let it die?
Or is there anyway to flash a Kernel via command prompt?
Anyway to fix this?

Hit the top link in my sig. I think you'll find what you're looking for there. Sounds like you may need to reflash your recovery from the bootloader via fastboot. Assuming that works, you need to due a full system wipe from recovery, then flash a ROM.

Do forgive me, I am reading your thread and advice.
I am just running on zero sleep in the past 4 days and trying to fix this all day.
The bootloop is gone now that I have flashed the TWRP recovery Stock recovery and Twrp again.
The stock recovery was still giving me the twrp startup screen (disclaimer at the HTC screen)
I also don't quite get what to do via Hboot 2.09 (what I have)
All the ROM's with the kernels are in a zip that needs to be opened via TWRP well the ones I download...
I have wiped the ceche/delvik etc... fear I wiped the whole thing by accident rendering the device empty.
My android's exe file doesn't seem to be about either.
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: 3.17.650? (The most recent for Evo commercially)
When I do attempt a Stock restore via fastboot flash not exe file I end up getting the red ! next to my phone and the phone doesn't reboot naturally.
Do I need to hunt down ROM's and Kernels that I can flash into the cmd?
I understand with my version I must flash in the using the prompt and have them separate but I am totally new at this I feel really dumb I'm sorry if I am bothering you with redundant questions I am attempting to follow and get the information but I think I am reading so many different threads on it I am suffering from information overload (artist not a programmer lol.)
EDIT:
NOTE:
I AM currently reading your bottom link about Fixing system wipe.

if youre S-OFF then you can just use ViperRUU and then reunlock your device.

S-ON.
I am attempting to download MeanBean after reading Fin's Fix.
Though I don't know if FlashImage GUI will work.
I also have to figure out how to flash .apk files too...
Sorry about the bother... I really am far below Novice at this I should have had someone holding my hand step by step lol.
Okay, so the problem with the Kernel originally was it wasn't compatible?
Then the next one with the service error was I suppose the same thing?
Then when I tried to restore apparently I wiped my phone of all Data resulting in a bootloop and being no one has the exe file for the factory RUU of the latest version for the Evo 4g LTE I had no way of restoring any of the files?
So then I stalked Fin's suggestions eventually lead me to MeanBean. at least it got me up and running... I attempted to back up with TWRP.
Which apparently doesn't work (I have to learn how to backup else where... Lets add it to my list.)
But after I attempted the back up I also attempted the instillation of "Operation Jelly Bean" I love the ROM I love the theme I love the sleekness
Apparently I am missing something with my touch panel software. I wish I could have kept the ROM but couldn't sadly (If you know what I am doing wrong I would love to keep that ROM in the future)
So with another failed ROM I tried to restore... which there was no restore when I went to do so... I was a little frustrated from my constant bricking as is...
I attempted factory restore apparently also wiped everything (Internal sd, external, everything.) I don't know what is up with that do you have any clue if its a glitch or am I just wiping it?
I also do Stock restore that does absolutely nothing for my phone anymore...
I will flash it... and it does nothing... it still runs like TWRP (disclaimer etc) but won't go to the twrp boot screen... this is a bit frustrating.
