[Q] Help needed; Stuck in Fastboot; can't flash recovery - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I'm S-OFF, HBOOT 2.09 unlocked, rooted.
Flashed TWRP 2.1.8 and SuperSU. Everything worked fine until I accidentally wiped System. Normally that'd be fine, because I would just install a ROM from my SD card. For one reason or another my SD card is corrupted and can't be read by my computer or the phone. Again, shouldn't be a problem since I could just use a different SD card.
Well, somehow I accidentally told it to reboot normally without a ROM for it to boot to. It hung at the HTC splash screen. I rebooted into fastboot and tried to boot into recovery.
This time, it simply wouldn't. The screen would turn black for a few minutes then it displays a red exclamation mark in the middle of the screen. I booted into fastboot, tried again. Same thing.
I tried re-flashing the recovery image, but it keeps giving me this message:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (7220 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I'm not really sure what my options are at this point. I'm not terribly experienced, obviously. I've scoured Google trying to find if I can flash a ROM through fastboot, boot normally, and start over from the beginning. I've had no luck. I tried searching the forums but as far as I could find, the solutions required being able to flash recovery, which I can't do in the first place. Even if I were to get a working SD card I don't how how to make that work.
Any ideas? I just wanted to get the phone ready for a friend with a rooted stock ROM so he could have as clean a slate as possible. I'm sorry if this is a terrible thread. It's the first time I've really had to ask for help and I've spent the past three hours trying to get this sorted.
Thanks for hearing me out.

Get a new sd card. Download from here. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
Scroll all the way down. Follow instructions for bootloader option. At the the same time put the rom of your choice on sd card. Flash recovery. Then using recovery flash rom. Delete recovery image from sd card afterwards.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm turning in for the night so I'll come back with a verdict tomorrow when I get the chance.
EDIT: Okay, first of all, thank you. You're a lifesaver.
I was able to flash TWRP and it boots into recovery just fine now. I'm able to push files into internal storage using ADB. Not all is nearly as lost as it was. The problem is that every ROM I've tried to flash is failing. This is the error message I get:
Code:
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/ROM.zip'
What does it look like?

Try a different download of twrp yours might have been corrupted. Reflash it, and see if it still gives you the error.

Semi Bricked - Have Access to Download & Recovery

***************SOLVED*******************
Hey, hoping some android gurus can help me out here.
I had the latest version of Obsydian on my phone and have not had any issues. Yesterday, my battery on the phone died, and when it started up again I was getting forcecloses all over the place. Tried reinstalling the rom and go errors, tried a different rom and got errors. So I ODINed the Voodoo RFS fix, followed by stock+Voodoo-Froyo-T959-UVJL5.tar , and didn't get anywhere.
I thought there might have been something wrong with the data on the phone so i tried clearing and formatting everything through Clockwork recovery. Then I tried the partition SD Card through clockwork recovery. I assumed it was the EXT-SD it was formatting so i chose 128mb ext, 32 swap, and left the rest for fat32. However, I'm starting to think it might have been the internal SD card.
I tried ODINing back to stock stock using this guide: http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/h...droidSPIN+|+Your+No.1+source+for+Android+news.)
I get the phone in ODIN and it flashes, no errors in ODIN, but when the phone leaves download mode and goes to installation it gives a few errors:
Code:
MBR Checksum Error
Movinand Checksum Confirmation Fail
Then it continues installing, and I get another error:
Code:
Wiping data
Formatting Data
[B]Data Wipe Fail[/B]
Formatting Cache
It still acts like it completely finishes the installation, reboots, I get the Tmobile boot and then Galaxy S, and then I get a black screen with all 4 of the lights/buttons on the bottom of the screen on. It can sit like this for 30 minutes, it doesn't do anything.
I still have access to download mode, and I still have access to recovery, however it's no longer ClockworkMod recovery, it's the stock recovery, and it seems to only work for a few moments before going to a triangle with an exclamation point and the android logo.
Any ideas on what I can do to make this phone functional again, or acceptable for a warranty return?
I appreciate any help.
Welcome to the club
Check out my post http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887837
Post #3 it might help if it does let me know so we know for sure if it works
Yes welcome to the club!!! glad you could join us!
Anyways here is what I have learned/done, my only working rom currently is the eugene froyo, can use the phone and data BUT cant download anything or install anything. You can adb push apks into the rom though. Heres the link for it
Use Odin, pit=512, pda=eugene..tar Run this to get semi working rom
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3
Once here I have access to my Sd card, this is where I placed the clockwork recovery on as an "update.zip" Link to this is posted below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164
Boot into recovery, note this will take you to stock recovery. REINSTALL update, may have to do this twice but itll get you to the Clockwork recovery....
After this I tried to install two different roms and both times I get some sort of data error, and installation aborted....hopefully this will help a few people
Yeah a bit more google searching for "vibrant mbr checksum" brought me to the same conclusion, that I needed to ODIN the eugene's froyo - it's flashing right now. Will see where that gets me.
It's my belief that using the SD partition in CWM is what caused the MBR issues and the Data Wipe Fail, as others said they messed with a partition in either CWM or something else prior to this happening
And that's a no go. It just reboots back into the stock recovery every time after odining it, with some new errors.
update media. please wait.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

I take it back - i did the wrong one apparently.
Had to use the files located on the link you sent, inside of the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.zip file. Apparently there are a few different download files on the first post of that link. This one took longer than all the others I'd tried ODINing, about 5-6 minutes, compared to 2-3 for the others. I had also updated my Odin3 to v1.7, from the v1.3 I was using before.
When it booted up, it gave me an issue with my external SD card, said it was formatted incorrectly, so i formatted it from the phone - it says I have 13gb memory and 1.86 on the ext-SD.
Was able to download and install ROM manager from the market. Attempting to install Nero v3 now.
*** SOLVED ***
I've succesfully installed a rom other than Eugene's froyo, and did not receive any installation errors! Got Nero V3 up and running, very happy.
Note that the MBR checksum error still appeared but did not affect installation at all. Thanks everyone for their help - hopefully this helps the others.

Please Help ME... Brick or something!!!

Things went from bad to worst, I fixed my market update and had the utlities on the device i needed to i tryed flashing the Neutrino Rom.
After it was done it rebooted and said "failed to boot 2 starting rsd".
So I downloaded RSD Lite and found the unlock SBF which I applied. Now I can get into the FastBoot menu's and go to Android Recovery and try to do the back to stock option, it says it completes then reboots...
Then it just sits and sits and sits on the motorola Dual core logo.
Can someone please help me here. I cant seem to find any of my backups i made with system recovery or rom manager. I also didnt load RomRacers Recovery (which i just now noticed)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
So, did you unlock the bootloader before trying to flash the ROM?
Does it say "Unlocked" at the boot logo now?
Get back into fastboot and flash romracer's recovery and then try to mount the storage and get another rom on there.

i unlocked the bootloader after the update failed (i panicked) and yes it does say unlocked at the top now
Well, you mentioned you can get into fastboot so that's a start. You can try to flash a proper recovery and try to boot into recovery and see if you can mount the storage, or if you have a card reader you can just put a ROM on your sd card and then flash. If you can't get into recovery but you can get into fastboot you can flash a rom that way. You'll have to search for the procedure but I'm almost certain it can be done. If all else fails, you can install the unlocked "Full" SBF through RSD Lite, but it is not really recommended but should work.

Thanks so much. I got radracers on there and reflashed the neutrino rom again. Everything appears to be working. Now to just figure out the rest.
Thanks again.
Look tke the sd card and load the rom and google apps. Then go and fastboot wipe and re install the rom and try to boot honestly it just sounds like you got a corrupted rom

"Sort of" bricked tf201 : Yup, I am dumb. Please help.

I created this thread because I have looked all over and have been unable to find someone with the exact same issue(s).
I said "sort of" in the title because twrp is working. Ok, so before everyone asks if I have nvflash, the answer is no. I did not have the right version of firmware, and did not try to install it originally. Since I was able to install roms, I figured I was fine...oops.
Twrp is not properly installing roms. More on that later. I am getting to the asus splash screen that says my device is unlocked, but it is stuck there.
My last working rom was the deodexed stock JB rom from craig gomez. I installed it with goo and when I installed that, I lost custom recovery and root, so I decided to go back to a more custom rom so Titanium backup would work. When I did that, I tried also tried again to make nvflash work. I got through the first step, it said it was successful, except I never got the little message in the upper left corner that I was supposed to get. I did not think it was a big deal because my prime would still boot like normal.
Then I installed twrp 2.3.1.0 and I have tried flashing previous restore images. I have tried installing the roms on my sdcard. I cannot get past the asus splash screen.
If I try installing a rom with the force md5 check enabled, it does detect an md5 and then quits.
If I try intalling a rom without the force md5 check, i get an error that says E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try installing a backup everything seems to work okay, but then I get the same error E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try to install roms through fastboot, I get the following errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
When I try using adb, I do not see any devices.
I tried putting CWM on the prime to see if I could install from that instead, but it would not load after install.
I tried putting an older version of twrp on the prime, to see if that was the issue because I used to have an older version...I could not get that to load either...so I went back to this version.
Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome guys. I am stuck.
I even went to install the naked drivers again, and when I try to flash a different recovery, I get the <waiting for device> text that never goes away.
i'm sort of on the same boat. my prime just keeps booting into twrp recovery no matter what i tried. i'm still hoping to find a solution to this problem.

For me, I can let it try to boot normally, but I get stuck at the splash screen. This device is unlocked.
If I hold down the volume down button, I can go to fastboot, or RCK for recovery...but it does not work properly.

Same Here.. It all happened when i restored my files using titanium backup and when i rebooted im stuck at boot scrren
EDIT: Guys I did a prime fullwipe and flashed stock jb and now prime is restored to its original state..
""I also got some errors like md5 file could not be found and could not find the /staging""..but after the reboot it works perfect
EDIT 1: Now after the prime fullwipe and flashing stock jb i flashed twrp recovery and now it works perfect without a single error even the above mentioned errors were gone

That doesn't really help us. If possible, can you edit/delete your message so that the guys that might help do actually help? Don't want them to think this is done.
Can you clarify what the Prime fullwipe is and how you got there?
I do not know if it will help me.
I can't even do the wipe command from fastboot.
Just says <waiting for device>
I have tried the wipe command form the boot screen (the one with fastboot and RCK as options), that did not work properly either.

here is what i did. get into twrp recovery. flashed full prime wipe -> right after that flash the stock jb US version directly dled from Asus -> reboot then you will be stuck at the splash screen (that's a good news). Hold down power + volume down until your prime turns off and restart (keep holding those two keys) until the 3 icons appear then flash w/e rom you want in recovery. It's alive!
In twrp I do not see anything that says Full Prime Wipe. I see something that says wipe. Are those the same? I tried doing a wipe from this screen, but it did not work for me as expected.

no full wipe is a stand alone zip file you have to google and find dl it. put it in your prime then flash it
Thanks. That is what I needed to know.
I will see if I can make this work when I get back from work.

I am pretty sure I am F***ed.
I tried the prime full wipe. It worked the first time, I think. Then went to install a rom.
I had to do both through external SD in twrp because my adb is not working. Also, fastboot only works to install a recovery. The only version of any recovery I can make work is twrp 2.3.1.0
If I try an older version or CWM, it freezes where I try to go into recovery.
Unable to mount data error.
Unable to mount system error.
Same as before.
I tried using unbricker software I found, but since adb does not work properly, the software does not work properly.
I am going to see if I can work my charm and get them to take back my tablet at best buy for an infinity. I have read about other people pulling it off.
I think as we get closer to xmas my odds improve...UNLESS SOMEONE HAS ANOTHER IDEA??? I would love to try something else.
Eyeballer suggested a chat room channel thing, but most of the people are in europe and I would need to do it in the morning...I do not have time for that, but I may try it.

Download the zip:
http://goo.gl/hiFHB
Goto to Twrp recovery and install the zip..Since it supports microsd u can transfer the zip to microsd.
Goto TWRP -> INSTALL -> CHOOSE EXTERNAL SD -> INSTALL THE ZIP
It will completely wipe the internal storage and then download the official STOCK JB FROM ASUS SITE and follow the same steps to install. Now install the latest twrp recovery using fastboot

When I was doing the fullwipe the same errors happened to me.. But dont mind..I got errors like
1. No md5 file found
2. Mount error
3. Cannot find /staging
Just follow the above the steps ull get it right
did you even follow my step by step guide? you can move the stock rom from external SD to your internal SD in advance -> file manager.

Yeah, I should have said I tried that first. I also tried the stock rom from asus. When that didn't work, I tried the stock rom deodexed I found in goo.
There are a bunch of permission errors going on inside my prime. When I go into the mount area, it will not let me mount the data to move it. Or, when I try to copy it over I get a failed message.
Okay. I wiped it again, from twrp.
Then it let me move the file from the ext-sdcard to the sdcard.
I used the prime full wipe.
Then I tried to install the stock rom by transferring it in twrp file manager.
I got the file onto the sdcard, but when i tried to install, it said Failed.
That was it.
I even tried installing the ICS version I got from ASUS. Same thing.
Now, I am going to try to access via unbricker...don't know if it will work, but I am out of ideas.

That is the last rom I successfully used.
I used all sorts of different wipes. I was in twrp and noticed my pc installing the transformer adb driver. So I hopped into adb to see if it would see my device with that driver. (it did, but it wasn't before from the fastboot or adb commands with naked driver).
I tried sideloading the above rom from twrp. It worked.
Thought others might want to know.
I do not know if I can install other roms or not. I am a little scared to try just yet.

You will have the jelly bean bootloader now so as long as you stick to it you should be fine. The only other thing I would suggest is check you version of twrp, you should be running the jelly bean version of it also. And if I am not mistaken, you need to be on ics to use nvflash (although I haven't checked the op recently so I could be wrong) so definitely stay away from that unless you downgrade.

Prime stuck in TWRP HELP

So i have a prime that had ANDROWOOK 2.2 on it with TWRP 2.5. Tablet has been good but was time for Androwook 2.4 so i went to TWRP and tried to do a factory reset and it couldnt mount the SD card or system, so i rebooted back to Androwook and tried doing a factory reset and it would just reboot never reset. So i went back to Androwook and tried format each item to no luck, just kept saying cant mount sd or cant mount cache, or system, etc. I tried to boot back into Androwook and now it just boots right into TWRP. Tried holding down vol and hitting power but still just right to TWRP. I can go to install and it sees the zip file for androwook but alwasy fails. saying
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/blob". "staging")
E:Error executing updater binary in zip .........zip file
Error flashing zip ..... zip file
updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/cache
I can connect via ADB, I tried a ADB sideload but it failed too.
Any ideas, i would be happy just getting it to stock and starting over again, or whatever we can do

So i am able to get it to mount the System, TWRP thinks the system is the ext SD card. so i can run the zip file for the rom and it says its successful and when i reboot the system right back to TWRP, and it has erased the sd card.
Ok, so i was able to ADB in TWRP and say "reboot bootloader" i did this and was able to get the 3 icons in boot and i could select android and it booted into android. When i restart it it goes back to TWRP and i can ADB again and get to android. So i need to know how to just flash everything back to stock or another rom from android or can I? it seems my problem i flashed TWRP and it was not the modded one from androwook. I tried a modded one i found on the forum that was suppose to be for it, i used terminal to do it, and it said it worked but when i restart the same thing happens.

Bump this thread tomorrow mate as I am off out soon and I need you to try some things.
Do not go wiping anything as it looks like you can still get into android at the moment.
Ok Great, i did try terminal a blob file you had in one of your posts but didnt work.
So here is a recap of were i am at:
Tried to reflash the tablet because it was getting slow etc.
Got into a recovery bootloop. etc
So right now everytime i restart it goes to the asus logo and just will restart every 5 secs or so and come back with asus logo.
If i hold down vol down it will boot straight into recovery.
In recovery it will not mount ext drive. i was able to see it once and flashed the zip file i had and didnt work.
if i ADB and type adb restart bootloader, it will restart to the 3 icons of recovery, android, wipe data.
I can also do fastboot i believe.
I can then pick android and it boots up to my android will all my apps and data still there.
I tried to terminal the blob recovery you had posted an it said it worked, but when i restarted it went to the same asus logo over and over.

I haven't forgotten about you. I just had a new device and have been messing with it all day.
The problem with the mounting normally occurs when you flash an incompatible twrp onto the wrong bootloader.
Unfortunately your first post and some of your other info is all over the place.
Lets start by going into TWRP and typing adb reboot bootloader and tell me the version number up the top left of the screen.
It will start with a 10.
10.6.1.8-20130225. A03
Twrp. 2.5.0.0
Android build. Androwook prime hairy bean v2.2

I don't think I ever supplied a Twrp 2.5 until hairybean 2.31 so it looks like you flashed that yourself and flashed the wrong version.
First this I would try is flashing the twrp from the following link in fastboot and see if you can get a working version of twrp back on there that can mount properly.

Try the fix for brick type 1a and see if you can get it to boot normally.

OK follow the steps but instead of flashing the stock firmware If lashed the recovery blob you had suggested early. And it worked. So now I can boot into the modified twrp. So now can I just flash your ROM?

[RESOLVED] Soft Bricked my HTC One Need Help

Well, there's not much to say other than I factory resetting and wiped EVERYTHING on my phone besides the Bootloader files, and Recovery, there is no System file from which to boot from, so I can not boot past HTC Logo, I am able to go into Recovery and Bootloader, but can not flash ANYTHING over ADB/Fastboot because of multiple errors, some being "Not Allowed" and "unable to read zip file." I need help bad, I tried RUUs, RUU Zips, Everything, all the same (Except RUUs, which are stupid since they never work, they either say Error: 155, or dont go past 5%). Nothing is working, I am unable to flash nothing....
If you need more information (that I can be able to pull, I can't pull stuff like ROM details since that doesn't even exist anymore) I can try to put it up, if I can get it.
Thanks in advanced!
(Information in my Signature is outdated, only things that are current are the RADIO, RECOVERY, HBOOT, S-ON, BOOTLOADER, and Root is...I dont know if I am still rooted)
Was able to 'somehow' mount my Internal Storage through TWRP and installed ROM, and GApps.
UPDATE: I somehow got my Device to get mounted and was able to access the Internal storage through my PC for idk how long, so I instantly copied the ROM and GApps I had to the phone, which was a success, I got them on my phone and was able to install the .zips through TWRP (Had to update to TWRP 2.8.1.0) and now I am awaiting to see if the ROM works.
The ROM install was a success, got my phone working again. Someone change post to resolved? Thanks.
