Dude is trying to help, basically, if you can get into recovery you don't need to ruu, just download a Rom onto your sdcard and flash. You will not get any help with that attitude. You're the one that needs help. Can you do fastboot commands?

Attitude? Explain to me how he helped me? Than some other dude just says NVM.. Like why even post? I dont get why you guys so sensitive... I have s-on so how can I just move a "rom" onto the sd card and flash it via recovery, when you usually need to use flash gui to flash the image file over..

My "NVM" post was edited from "good luck getting help if you are gonna be such a D**K"
Most roms come with an S-ON kernel installer so you don't need to use flash gui or you can fastboot flash the boot.img through adb.

Dude,,,Mrlakadaddy asked you if you can fastboot commands, If so , flash a recovery via fastboot(adb) from the recovery you flash mount your sd card from recovery, put a rom of your choice on it and flash away, since your bein a ****, ill be a **** too, its not rocket science.
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvic
flash reboot.
next time try a little patience and consideration toward people who are trying to assist you and you may get a little more assistance.

Did you wipe before you flashed?
Also did you fasboot boot recovery.img then wiped and flashed the rom..
Some folks had issues with that rom... Since it's a alpha thing...

If you were on GB, those roms won't work, if you're on ICS and you're s-on, use 4EXT, if the problem persist, then you need to flash the boot.img file in the roms zip file manually.
You'll need to learn how to use fastboot if you don't know how to or get someone to write you a script.
Try to reflash stock rom using OTA. may be fix it. I got same problem and solve it by this way

If you can go to bootloader, so use method for S-ON user
-Relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) (Place the PH85img.zip on sd before locking bootloader if u do not have a card reader.
-Flash leaked ICS RUU in bootloader (rename ruu to PH85IMG.zip, place on external SD card and boot into bootloader)
Visit the link of freakboy13
So this morning I decided to update my firmware from the PJ75IMG.zip. I booted back to and while I was in the bootload a factor reset was done by accident. Now my operating system is now erased. S-off'ed with lazy panda. Also, i have no backup because my Vista crashed a week ago. Sprint will replace my phone, but is there any possibility of unbricking now?

Im guessing people dont understand the term bricked.....
Bricked- A device state in which you can NOT get to bootloader, Recovery or standard installed OS.

Yeah, recovery isn't the problem. Although it is showing relocked and I was going to reroot. just thought is was worth a shot posting.

Sorry to hear that. I believe you're gonna need a pc to try to do anything towards fixing it. Try an RUU. You can always get a replacement before they start giving out refurbs.

If you can access recovery you can flash a rom. Your other option would be to run the ruu. You will never get your data back though.

May I ask if you can be more specific? such as; what build OTA you have, hboot version, what recovery you have, which rom and/or kernel you are trying to flash, and if you are s-on or s-off
I had a similar problem. I unlocked and rooted my EVO LTE ... Then I tried to install a custom ROM and it just got stuck at the boot animation. I didnt do a back up or anything so I was just stuck. I was able to get into Recovery. As a matter of fact I fixed it last night by loading up flashing that superwipe zip and flashing Stock with Goodies ROM. Now my EVO LTE works fine.

extract the boot image from the rom, place it in adb folder and open cmd in that folder
shift+right click, open command window here
then connect phone in fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hey there
I had the same problem, just when I loaded the goodies rom it crashed. Can't do anything, except boot into TWRP. Basically if I try to reflash a rom it should solve my problem?
Most likely you need to flash the kernel, use that image flash app or adb tools/android SDK to flash it in fastboot
I had a feeling
First, thanks
Ok, can I use TWRP to flash the Kernel or is there an app or pc that ill have to use?
You can use fastboot to flash the kernel or the image flash app, I havent got a link for it right now but its probably in themes and apps or original development
No PC
I don't have a PC to use. I'm wondering if I could go recovery->advance->terminal command. I see a fast lot process, but requires a PC.
Not that I know of, you need access to fastboot
Dumlock?
Reading on dumlock, else return to project when computer is available. Thanks for the help.
You can't use dumlock without access to android
So it appears
*sigh* got all excited flashed a rom without a kernel, and now **** out of luck. Seemed so much easier for my OGEVO. So my only option is to do a fast boot with a PC using the .zip I have on the sdcard?
I was going to S-Off but lack of clear directions and dead links and such I decided against it.
What my problem is is that I that I flashed ViperRez when It first came out and now I'm not able to flash any other Rom.
I know I need to extract the boot img from the ROM i want to use and flash it BUT I cant get adb to run on my system.
I know about renaming to PH98IMG and flashing it.
I even took the the PH98IMG from an existing Rom and dropped the boot img I wanted into that folder and zipped it back up.
I have tried to flash several boot images many different ways and always no image found. :crying:
I have read every help file on this and followed the directions but still no luck. Can anyone help a old man out..
Thanks in advanced....

So basically adb wont recognize your device? if so you could try to reinstall the drivers and that might help.
Not sure about the dead links, but I think the S-Off directions are pretty clear. Seriously, this kind of trouble is exactly why you do want S-Off. The amount of hassle you are spending on this would probably have already resulted in S-Off.

Well, you could back up everything on your rom and backup your internal storage and try to use the global RUU to get back to complete stock and then that will probably fix the problem. RUU fixes most problems.

Yes I've tried fastboot as well as adb neither works anymore , not even funky kernel. I've be dealing with this problem since flashing AOSP over a month ago.
