just an fyi, if everyone can talk to me like im dumb this will go through alot quicker.
I have been running liquid smooth for a while and just wanted to try something different. I started downloading away and installing without much thought. Basically now my phone will not boot into anything. I can only get into revolutionary, and on one of the green lettered lines that appears it says "no image or wrong item"
Can someone give me a spoon feed on how to fix this so I can use my phone again. I removed all roms and radios on the SD card so I will be at the beginning.
You can start by posting this in the right area. Not in the dev section.

Seeing green lines flash across the hboot screen saying that is normal. Once it finishes showing those lines, follow these instructions...
From this screen (hboot):
Use volume key down to highlight the recovery option and then hit the power button.
Once in recovery, wipe data/factory reset 3x, clear data 1x. Then scroll to advanced and wipe dalvik cache 1x.
After that, install zip from SD card and navigate to and install a desired ROM.

Just a thought but which liquid smooth rom are we talking about?
Im not sure, I used the liquid smooth rom from feb of this year so which ever was out then. I know I might not be making sense about all of this but I am doing my best to understand everything.

I have a similar problem, but when i tried to do this from hboot the volume keys wont work and it automatically selects (im assuming fastboot?) and asks if i want to start update. Any ideas?

Not sure why it would do that.
Can you even get your phone to boot the ROM?

I just got past this on my phone. If you remove your sd card it shouldn't force you into fastboot. The only way I found was pushing the battery against the pins, holding the sd card in the slot but sticking out some. Hold volume down and power and get to recovery keeping the sd card partially out, then once in recovery put your battery in place without losing contact with the pins. You are now in recovery with access to your sd card, which hopefully has a working rom you can load.
I am at school without a micro sd card reader, but deleting any updates on your sd may stop the fastboot.
Simply remove the PG05IMG.zip (radio image) from the root of SD card and then it should boot to recovery no problem.
It's seeing the radio image file and won't get past the update yes/no screen because it is present on the card.
Rename or remove it and you should be good to go.

Hi Guys am quite new at this however i've been doing some research on how to install [ROM]KaosFroyo V30 on my Eris but i have not found any instructions or guide and so i was wondering if anyone here could help? by the way i am running the android 2.1 version released by Verizon an HTC and hopefully this won't be a problem.
Google is your friend, also the Eris root app might make things easier.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
first question is are you rooted?
i think the phone's rooted now!
well i used the eris root app and when it asked me to i used the KaosFroyo V30 zip and it seemed to install ok, then i boot up the device and after an initial boot screen i get a screen saying android in blue and like a white light inside i don't know if that makes any sense but that's where the phone stays. i guess i am rooted now but then phone won't fully boot up

The first boot can take 10+ mins. Wait it out.
well the phone boots pass the skatebording androids and then it shows "ANDROID" with a while light scrolling through the letters and is been like that for about an hour now.

turn off, turn back on holding the end button and the vol UP, use the trackball scroll to backup/restore click the trackball, click nand backup, let it run hit vol down, scroll to wipe, wipe data and wipe dalvik, hit volume down hit flash zip click on the kaos v30 zip assuming that its on your sd card and let it run and then reboot shouldnt take much longer than 10 min to boot up

good luck and remember to always do a nand backup before flashing anything...saves more lives than seatbelts
The thing that you did different was wiping caches before flashing. That's why it works now.
BTW, NAND backups are important, but the one you made this time was worthless.
A NAND backup makes a copy of your system. Unfortunately your system wasn't functional when you created it.
Use this as a lesson. Always do a NAND before you change anything. That way you can restore to a working system.

Hi guys I was messing around on the HTC DROID ERIS and I may have damage my phone. I change the wrong NV items. 435,436,1192,1194 and now phone keeps turning on and off. it only gets to the skate boarding green dudes. I try adding a custom rom but i dont think i am rooted. I try doing the system wipe but as soon as it reboots to enter that mode it reboots and reboots again same system. I can only update with the PB00IMG.zip but does not changes anything. I can only keep it stable on the hboot usb which I dont know what else to do with that. anyone has any idea on how to correct this issue...
I've been wondering and searching how to boot into recovery on the thunderbolt? Not from rom manager but when the phone is off. When i had my original moto droid all i had to do was turn it off then turn it on while holding x and i was in recovery how do i do that on the thunderbolt?
And if someone would be so kind as to explain what hboot is thanx!!
hboot is htc's bootloader, mainly used for flashing radio's and flashing stock ruu's. From what i know if u boot in to hboot, power + volume down button, then click recovery, it will boot into the recovery.

Let's see if I get this right:
hboot is the default bootloader. Press at the same time, and hold, power and volume down to get into the bootloader.
From within the bootloader you can choose to enter recovery.

Is there are way to boot into the default recovery (is there are default recovery?)
Every time I attempt this, it defaults to hboot, looks for a radio zip, tells me there isn't one(because there's not one on the sdcard), and only gives me the option to reboot by pressing power. I briefly see the initial menu, with the options for recovery and such under hboot, but I cannot select them with the volume up or down buttons?

My mistake, there is. If that radio zip file is there, you cannot move up and down through the menu then? I got a botched ROM here, hangs on the boot animation, no ADB, and no way to read that sdcard outside the phone.
Edit - If I remove the sdcard, I can do a wipe cache&data factory reset, I think? But my ROM files are on the sdcard.
Can you still use cwr without a battery if its plugged in? I know I could on the OG Droid, so if this still works, you can just take the SD card out, go to hboot and select recovery, then put the SD card back in

I just attempted this, without the battery, I cannot even get a pulse from the TB. With the battery in and no sdcard, I can get into CWR from hboot. Second I remove the battery from the phone, it powers off. Doing this with it plugged into the wall AC too.
Edit - This is where I'm at right now. If I remove the sdcard, wipe cash&data, I can boot into a mostly broken ROM. Specifically, the keyboard FCs immediately, I can skip past the HTC setup screens, the virtual keyboard will generate another FC. At the end of the setup screens, it'll go to a blank background with no icons and the status bar on top, showing 3G signal strength, time, etc. There's nothing on the screen but that. If I push and hold power, it brings up the Power menu, to shutdown, restart, etc. Any option thoroughly locks the phone and requires a battery pull. After that, it'll get stuck in a boot loop at the boot animation until I get into CWR again and wipe cache/data. And I've left it go for a good 20 minutes, more than enough time to rebuild the dalvik.
I should add that this was slightly, as in totally, self inflicted. :/ I was switching ROMs, rolled back from the GB leak radio to the froyo radio, and was wiping cash&data to move to a froyo ROM; got interrupted by another task, and forget where I was at. Basically, I wiped cache&data without flashing a ROM afterward.
Edit - Had to wait until I got home from work. Install the card in a sled, delete the zip, everything's good now.
Im just stuck at the Thunderbolt wallpaper. I tried removing the sd card, battery and all that crap but still stuck. Any way I can work around this?

Boot into hboot and then into recovery to flash a backup you hopefully made and if not just re-flash your ROM. Happened to me once when I rushed through a new ROM flash and didnt verify the MD5. If you dont have a ROM or a backup saved on your card then you can try to do what the guy above you did and put your card into a reader and put one on there that way.
Power and volume down
THUNDERBOLT
I am using Liquid Thundersense 1.4...I went into the liquid toolbox last night to do a wipe because I was going to flash a new rom. When I said yes to the wipe it turned off and then cam back on at my like main (i guess it is called a bootloader screen) and it will not get any farther than that...I'm not sure what to do about this because the only way the phone responds to anything is by pulling the battery or holding the power and both volume buttons down to restart back to the same damn thing again...I have never had a problem like this so I'm not sure where to go from here...Any help would be appreciated greatly!
I searched everywhere and could find anything this specific
OK I think my terminology was a little off...I guess the bootloader screen is the white screen where you can access fastboot, recovery, factory reset, etc...I still have s-off according to this screen...I can get here by holding down the down volume and the power and I can get to clockwork recovery. But it's when i try to reboot after either one that it gets stuck at that first loading screen
It sounds like you need to put a ROM on your SD card, boot into recovery and flash it from there. Did you not do a wipe and erased your existing ROM? No wonder the phone can't boot anymore.

You are right.
The white screen is the bootloader.
When you get to bootloader navigate to recovery.
if you have made a back up in the past you can go to backup/recovery and recover your old back up.
If not you will have to do what the user above said.
Put a rom.zip file on your sd card and flash it in recovery.
cowisland...thanks i did that and it worked...i must have done the damn wipe wrong or whatever, but i put a rom on my sd and it took care of the problem!

I recently was trying to upgrade from ICS Dev edition 1.2 to 1.4 and i installed it just fine through recovery..... my device is S-ON still so rebooted to the bootloader to flash the kernel and it went smooth. Allow it to load up, skip the account install info..... get to the main screen and let everything settle in then reboot, upon the next reboot i get to the main screen and try and login to my google play account to start downloading apps and my phone reboots itself after the push from gmail comes through. It does this upon every attempt at restarting the phone. I did a battery pull and cannot get back into recovery because the kernel image is still on the root....I cannot figure out what to do as i have never had this much trouble with a rom before. I know there is away to relock my device and install the latest RUU and get back to working but i dont know how to get into my bootloader to do all this. If anyone could help me out it would be great appreciated as im banging my head here trying to get a functioning phone back.
If you have an external sd card reader, use it to erase the ph98img.zip file. Otherwise you can boot phone with sd card slid partly out, slide back in when booted into recovery, takes a little dexterity.

You could use an old phone, if you have it, to rename/delete the file. As to the original problem, if you are still on GB firmware, make sure to flash the patch, too.
If you would of just flashed the old firmware patch you would not of faced this issue

To make it easier, if you're using TWRP just mount USB storage in recovery.

Your phone isn't bricked. You have to have the SD Card slide partially out and hold the battery down hard so it still powers on. Go to bootloader and go to recovery and then you can slide the SD back in and boom you're golden. No worries

thanks for the help guys.... i couldnt ever get it to boot into amonra recovery so i just relocked and ruu'ed the latest (and most likely official) ics leak..... im back up and running. if it turns out this leak isn't the final i will just have to run that ruu when it comes out.

I can also confirm that it is likely to blank your SD card if you're not careful. Make sure you backup your SD card before trying this method.

this method DOES work. all this method does is Bypass the "PH98IMG" scanner so it wont find it because the SDcard is not inserted in Properly. so it will then continue into hboot which would allow you to access your Recovery which would then help you to fix your problems.
I tried flashing the Mean Bean rom. I'm not a noob when it comes to flashing, but I made a noob mistake. I just got my phone and forgot to image before I wiped and tried flashing. The rom was stuck at "format /system" for 20 minutes. I held down the power button, and now, since I didn't image the stock, I can't start the phone (it gets stuck at the white screen) and now when I try to install the rom again, the zip is missing.
I have no idea what to do next. I am downloading all of the ruu files and I'm going to run each one until one works, but I'm not sure if that's even going to fix the problem.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Do you have any data you need or can you do full wipe? if that is possible this is a easy way to flash a ruu. 1 download the ruu from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744700&highlight=how+to+root the one that is titled PJ75IMG.zip 2. you will need to put it on your external sd card somehow ( easy way would be taking it out of phone and putting it in a different one then move it using that phone, or mabye using twrp recovery if possible make sure it is the external sd though), make sure you put it on the root of the external sd card. 3. boot into bootloader and the file should be recognized and it will ask you if you want to processed click volume up for yes this will bring you back to stock ics and it will also flash a image to the phone. hope this helps
