So I just bought the phone yesterday (first Android phone). Its locked to Mobilicity.
I wanted to unlock the phone so I unlocked bootloader, rooted and dont know what else I did but ended up making the wifi/bluetooth get an error.
I decided at the end just to buy a code since I found it on eBay for only $3.99. Went into settings, did a factory restore and the phone stopped booting.
It gets stuck at the HTC screen. I can still lock the bootloader and all that but I dont know how exactly im supposed to restore it now. Im reading something about an RUU but the one ive tried doesnt work. Ive also created a Gold Card and tried the .zip file on the SD.
SD thing says CID error and on the PC it says error 140 bootloader error or something.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have 4EXT and TWRP if that makes a difference at all.
Using this RUU •RUU_Ruby_DAVE_CA_1.45.1800.2_R_Radio_1.09.550L.11v 2DC_30.67.550L.09_release_227348_signed.exe
I also remember flashing a kernel, it was from the youtube video to S-OFF the phone, Dunno if thats what caused the problem
EDIT: just tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110&postcount=44 and when i click on RESTORE it says "cant mount /internal_sdcard" and recovery only boots in safe mode

This thread might help if you can't reach the custom recovery.

I tried that but at the end, once the file is scanned, it says "CID ERROR!" (locked bootloader)
when i do it with unlocked bootloader, it just scans and goes right back to recovery menu
If you can still access 4EXT why dont you just flash another custom rom.

I have no clue how to do that :|
If its putting a rom on the SD and going into 4EXT, it wont let me do that because it cant mount the internal SD and only boots 4EXT in safe mode
can you access the wipe/format in the 4EXT? try formatting the internal sd card(be aware all contents will be erase) then restart and go back to 4EXT check if you can install from sd card after that.

Nope just tried and it still wont mount I think the phone is just plain dead now
I can mount/unmount "/sdcard" but it wont let me mount "/internal_sdcard"
When I choose "install from sd card" and then "choose zip from sdcard" it says that the internal SD cant be mounted, even though im trying to get it from external
yeah i think i had this problem before, it wont mount because 4EXT is still in safe mode (right?). If you have the Hasoon all-in-one kit in your pc, you can try flashing another recovery program(like TWRP or reflash 4EXT and see if it will still go to safe mode). I thick they release the version 5 of the all-in-one kit 3 weeks ago, look for it!!

I just tried reflashing 4EXT but still in safe mode. I also just tried TWRP and it still gives me the error "unable to mount /emmc"
Im thinking I have to repartition the internal stuff but I have no clue how to do that.
and hrdget
if you are still on the 4EXT, theres an optons like try format all partitions(except sd card), then format boot and so on,wont hurt trying them all

Ive tried going to stock but its impossible because the phone doesnt have a ROM at all currently and I cant install anything to the internal cause I think all the partitions are gone
if you are in 4ext you can repartition the phone.. and then place stock ruu either internal or external and flash back to stock

Ive tried but 4EXT only boots in safemode and the internal wont mount, so I cant partition it
EDIT: So i managed to get the internal to mount. SO SIMPLE. Had to plug in device, usb mass storage and then format it.
Now my problem is paritioning. I only have /emmc/ and nothing else. How do I partition and get everything else back?
EDIT AGAIN: So I went into 4EXT once the Internal SD could be mounted and then formatted data, system and boot and then tried installing from zip again. IT WORKED
MY DEVICE IS ALIVE AGAIN.\

Hi all,
So it looks like I've ****ed up my phone a bit. I just started the rooting process earlier this week and I went horribly wrong somewhere. The phone is not bricked, but close to it. Here's where I'm at:
Downloaded a couple of ICS ROMs
Unlocked device using HTC Dev
Flashed recovery using recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-shooteru.img
Installed first custom ROM 70_shooter_ice_v_1.0.1_beta_7b225
Shooter ICE ROM worked with wifi and mobile data, but camera didn't work and connecting to a computer resulted in a MTP USB error so I was not able to access SD card from any computer
Booted to recovery and flashed a new ROM LoLic Sense 4.0 v4
Now, SD card doesn't work, wifi doesn't work, mobile data doesn't work; phone is essentially bricked
I do not have any backups of the original ROM and I have been trying to flash using RUUs and PG86IMG.zip but I haven't had any luck
PLEASE HELP! What do I do? How can I recover my phone?
Here is the original device info:
Manufacturer: HTC
Model: EVO 3D X515a

Baseband: 10.53.9020.00U_10.13.9020.08_2M

No, but what would I be able to do differently? Currently, I am using an SD card reader to load images/roms onto the SD card to try flashing. I have attempted to flash other ROMs and RUUs, but nothing is restoring the radios or usb function of the phone.
The USB issue you are having is an ICS ROM bug. In order to access your SD from your computer you have to mount through your recovery. I would try to go back to a ROM where your radios worked, such as the first ROM you flashed or to the stock ROM, and try to re-install your radios. BTW are you S-ON or OFF? And are the ROMs you flashed CMDA or GSM? If they were CDMA there's your problem.
Alright, from what I understand your phone will boot but nothing really works?
Try flashing this, it's the Stock rom, but it is rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318942
All you need to do is flash it and boot into it.
IF it works, create a nandroid of it, and then try flashing a different ROM.
If it doesn't work, just post again.
MAKE SURE to wipe the phone completely from Recovery before the install.
Format all sections, and then install. (You don't need to format SD card)
And, by the way, if you need a good rom, try the KingCobra ICS ROM.
If you're S-ON, however, you'll need to use Version 1.5. S-OFF: 1.6+.

The stock ROM you linked is from Europe and I am from Canada on Rogers. Will it still work? I will give it a try later tonight.

I have the exact same phone as you, right down to the HBOOT. So, not to worry as I've used that ROM several times to fix problems.
I know you've probably heard this a dozen times, but I recommend you go S-OFF. It's not very hard and I can help you out if you'd like.

Okay so here's what I did:
1. Turn OFF Fast Boot by going to Settings > Power
2. Turn ON USB Debugging by going to Settings > Applications > Development
3. Connect to your computer using USB Disk Mode
4. Turned off the phone and took out the battery for 10 seconds
5. Re-inserted the battery and booted into recovery
8. Wipe the Cache Partition
9. Wipe the Dalvik Cache
10. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
11. Installed the ROM from the zip file on my sd card
Now when I boot up, it flashes the HTC logo and then the screen just goes black. The home buttons are lit up.

Problem Solved by flashing a new recovery, installing a rom, then flashing the Boot.img.
Hey guys, I've searched the forum for a while but haven't quite found an answer to this, so I thought I'd post here. Before I start, I'd like to say, yes I am an experienced flasher and know most of my basic things. I've got a pyramid working perfectly, but this has been giving me many problems.
Basically, I just s-offed my HTC Evo 3D GSM, with an old CID of RO____001(I think), and HBOOT 1.53.
So now here I am, with my unlocked phone, running HBOOT 1.49, with SuperCID. My old ROM was Cool ICS, and I couldn't stand it, so I wanted to change over to stock Jelly bean, preferably AOKP. I've got the latest AOKP ROM, and 4EXT Recovery. I went into recovery and wiped my user data and cache and tried flashing the ROM, and Gapps of course, and then I rebooted, but it booted into Cool ICS again! With this happening, I tried wiping all partitions(including system, no SD card) and then my phone booted into a bright white HTC screen and didn't exit it. Parents are mad that my phone is broken now.
Please help! Much appreciated!
Flash stock and try again

Sounds more like the actual ROM is corrupt.
Redownload the ROM you want to run. Do a full wipe of the phone, including cache. Then transfer over the files. You can use 4EXT to transfer files to the phone via usb storage mode.
Then try flashing the ROM.
If it still doesn't work, try flashing a different ROM.
If that still doesn't work, report back here or feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the reply, DjDom. I'm kind of in a bigger pickle here. My recovery partition won't even work now. This was happening before I formatted all partitions, each time I wiped my data, it wiped the 4EXT app and the recovery partition. Does this mean I need to use the RUU again? And will the RUU re s-on the phone?

Damn if you can't access your recovery then you are in a bit of a trouble.
Maybe your downloaded ROM got corrupted or it didn't complete downloading that's why it's always recommended to check the HASH after you download something.
Good Luck on recovering your device back!

Na, I can still access recovery by simply flashing the .img... The ROM did finish downloading, as the HASH was proper, there's just a problem with recovery actually flashing to system.
Bump.. Come on guys, I really need help.. It won't even load bootloader anymore.
Flash a new recovery with Fastboot USB (I recommend TWRP or 4ext as recovery) Then go onto your recovery an flash the desired ROM.
Goodluck!
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
I have searched and I've found no answers for this. I picked up my phone today and it was unresponsive. I pulled the battery to restart it, would get to the white HTC screen then nothing. Went to recovery TWRP 2.3.2.3 and was greeted with a long list of "E: unable to..." everything. Can't mount system, emmc, data etc. Cannot restore, cannot install, cannot wipe. PH98IMG.zip does not load from sd card. I am pretty sure it's not a formatting issue.
Am I the proud owner of a brick? Any help is appreciated.
I had this problem, I could only fix it by formatting the SD card in the stock rom. If everything is not working and you can't flash the ruu or get in your ROM, you can try factory reset in the bootloader and try a SD card wipe in the ROM after reset to fix the partition. I have only tested fixing the SD mounting issues with stock ROM SD card wiping
That's my idea. Hope I helped :thumbup:

I was running Wildstang's CM10.1. Had just updated to the 030513 update about 4 hours before the levy broke. It appeared to operate fine after reboot. Even used the phone to make an audio recording.
Also, for full information, I am on the most recent firmware (HBOOT 2.27 and most recent radios) and full S-Off.

Easier said than done for me, but I will try it out when I get home tonight. Thanks.
It concerns me, though, that the Image CRC in HBOOT comes up as all zeros for Boot, System and Data, and they are not mountable under any circumstances apparently. Any idea why that would happen?
Hey guys, I recently attempted to root my old phone using the Amaze All in One Kit v5.2. Well, I was able to get the bootloader unlocked and installed TWRP recovery, but was unable to get any roms to load. I was advised I should relock the bootloader and attempt to do a RUU flash since my phone will no longer boot past the HTC screen. Since I relocked the bootloader, I have lost access to TWRP recovery entirely. I also tried the PH85IMG file on my SD card, but it doesn't seem to do anything different after installing and verifying.
My current bootloader screen displays the following:
***RELOCKED***
***Security Warning***

Flash 4ext recovery and enable smart flash from settings and then flash any ics rom... (4ext has this smart flash feature so even tho you're S-ON you can still flash a rom and the kernel together in twrp recovery only the rom get Flash not the kernel) reason it didn't work for you in the first place..

If you have a hard time flashing 4ext recovery from all in one kit use it.. (REMOVE EVERY FILE INSIDE IT EXCEPT FOR THE ONE CALLED "recovery.img" and place it in your ext_sd card and go to bootloader and follow instructions) unlock the bootloader 1st if it's locked ...

Gotcha. Well, I just got the bootloader unlocked again, but I am unable to flash 4EXT recovery through the all in one software. The only other option I saw involved installing from the phone, but since I can only get to the bootloader and TWRP recovery screen, I'm unsure of how exactly to install it. You will have to excuse my ignorance on this stuff. I'm pretty computer literate, but this rooting stuff has gotten the best of me thus far...

Well, after installing just that file on my SD card and restarting the phone, it went through a file check and parsing phase then when I clicked on recovery it brought back up TWRP. Obviously I'm misunderstanding something.

It does not appear so. TWRP opened up once again when I clicked on recovery from within the bootloader.
I'm also getting this error "Unable to mount eMMC" as well.

I think I was doing something incorrectly. Anyways, I just enabled Smart Flash and went to "install from sdcard". When I select "choose zip from sdcard", I get the error "Can't mount /internal sdcard".

In the wipe category, my options are as follows:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe cache + dalvik
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
format system
format data
format boot
format all partitions (except sd card)
format sdcard
Did you mean do a format all except sdcard?

I came across this method and it appears to have fixed my internal sdcard issue. It is installing the rom now. I will let you know once I get done flashing the rom if all goes as planned.

I ended up just flashing the Cyanogenmod rom for now. Everything seemed to go fine with the install. I rebooted and it sat at the Cyanogenmod splash screen for almost a hour without proceeding. Any clue?

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? If there are data of your previous rom in your system partition all the data get overwrite and crashes ... Full wipe = format all (except sd card)
(the one in wipe/format category..)

Ahh okay. I believe I just did the wipe function and not a full format. I will try that and let you know.

It has been at the Cyanogenmod screen for about 20 mins now. Does it normally take this long?

I just read carefully your 1st post now.. You're hboot is 1.93.003 it's normally 1.93.002.. It's a nasty issue.. Try to flash a stock htc ics rom (arhd 5) and do the s-off.. It's the only way to recover from that issue as far as I know..
