Hello, so recently I tried to get S-OFF on my Evo through JuopunutBear. Something went wrong and I (mistakenly ) unlplugged the USB cable. Now my phone only boots up onto Bootloader. I can't access the recovery nor can I access adb. The only thing that works is fastboot. Can someone please help me? I have no idea what to do and after hours of searching, nothing like this has ever happened before I assume. I'm sort of a noob. I have adb installed and can use it but I don't know what commands to enter or what files to download or what. Is there any way I can reset my phone or get out of this bootloop? Thank You guys!

Use fastboot to flash a recovery. From recovery flash a ROM. Try that.

Hey, Thanks for telling me that. But I'm kind of a noob. Can you show me a download link of 4EXT (or whatever one you think is best) and what command I should use?

OK. So I looked into the guide, One of the attachments had a broken link so I couldn't do it. I tried flashing a stock RUU but it gave me an error. I tried getting the rom.zip from the temp and flashing that. My bootloader gave me an error and said something about the version being older than the firmware or something like that. I have finally gotten to my recovery, but that did not help. I've cleared EVERYTHING. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop where when the phone boots up it goes straight into JBear phone image with the arrow. I've tried everything. I still have no idea how to fix it. I really need some help.

Thanx for the help guys! Well, I fixed the bootloop and screen by flashing the boot.img. That got me stuck in an HTC logo bootloop, but I WAS SO HAPPY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER SEEN A BOOTLOOP THAN THIS. Well, since I knew how to fix this, I just flashed a stock ROM, and from there installed TWRP recovery and from there flashed a custom ROM (rooted, deodexed, stock, since I still don't have S-OFF). Now I'm just restoring my apps from Carbon( Helium) and getting some new themes. Thanks Guys!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Just a heads up. The Evo V 4G seems to operate better when 4EXT recovery is used!

Hi XDA. I did post a topic to do with the same handset but I've requested for it to be deleted as I'm going to post all the current details on my handset and the status of it, just so it's easier to look at the problems.
Modes the phone can run in: Fastboot, System Recovery and USB-MS toggle.
Through backup and restore, nothing works, requests everything through ADB despite having tried that also. Flashing new ROMs after wiping the phone and SD entirely doesn't work, it still gets stuck in the loop no matter what ROM I use.
I have extracted the ROM and system/boot.img's from an Orange RUU via and tried installing the rom and the img files separately but the ROM came up as "bad" and I don't know how to use the .img as they don't come up. I think if I flashed the fresh boot and system images it might work, but that's just me. I have also tried installing the RUU from fastboot, but that doesn't work either, it just searches for images and reverts to the fastboot menu with no indication for the RUU install. I've tried wiping the SD and using a fresh SD and still nothing, still looping.
I'm at my wits end with this and I don't want to have to sell it faulty if it's fixable or "not" bricked..
Its not bricked, if it was then nothing would happen at all.
Although I have never heard of this problem before and the only possible solution i can think of is to connect try and update to the official ROM, which would remove your root access and most likely not let you root again, but this is still better than having a non-working hero.
Hope you find a solution

Good to know it's not bricked, it means that it CAN be fixed somehow.
I have said in the post that I can't get into Android at all expect the boot modes and USB-MS toggle. This means I can't get into sync to install an RUU, which I couldn't do before anyway. I have extracted the ROM from an official RUU but that and the sys.img and boot.img won't flash either. The .img files don't even show, since you can only flash .zip files.
Thanks anyway!
Sorry guys, i need to bump this... :-(
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure I 100% understand the problem you are having here. I guess you are trying to root essentially, since you are trying RUUs and zips (whilst rooting might not be your end goal, it sounds like you're trying to just now).
Make a gold card, and use the HEROIMG.zip method to flash the ROM.zip out an RUU. At work so can't explain fully, but search on these terms for help.
It's already rooted, it's just stuck in a boot loop, and I can get into the states I mentioned above. And I've tried a few ROMs off here and that doesn't seem to work. Tried extracting the ROM from an official RRU as well, which is why I mentioned it.

When you hold Home and Press power do you get into the recovery screen?
Which recovery screen have you got installed?
Have you waited more than 5 minutes for a new ROM to load the first time?
Have you run logcat and watched the output whilst it is loading a fresh rom?
Have you wiped everything before flashing the rom's update.zip?
I get into recovery, I have RA Hero installed on it. And it's sat for over 5 minutes..

You have two options, leave it for an hour and see if it boots. Make sure you do a full wipe and then flash VillainROM or another established ROM. Don't use any beta's or alpha builds.
Alternatively you can get a logcat report going and post that up.
I'll try the first option when I finish work, I'll try Villain as it's what the Hero had on it before this happened.
Are there any guides to doing a logcat report? I tried doing,one once but I didn't seem to get much out of the instructions I was given. Thanks for your help so far .

there is info on setting up adb. Then do "adb logcat > logfile.txt" and send logfile.txt
Anon I'll try that at the weekend sometime when I get a chance.
Btdag I left the Hero on until it died, nothing but the Hero screen. Guess I need to bump here again once logcat is done..

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

It may be helpful to someone else, if you were to explain how you fixed it.
Yes, it would indeed be quite helpful if you could elaborate... because this just happened to me and I'm stumped...
I followed the same exact procedure I've used other times without error...
Except that now, after LGNPST, then root, then freegee... go to restart the phone and it hangs... won't boot up. What gives?
I repeated the process and did a factory reset after LGNPST back to stock, since I noticed (oddly enough) that all my apps were still there after LGNPST (full, to 100%)...
Still no luck...
EDIT-- Can't for the life of me figure this effing thing out. LGNPSTed I don't know how many times... with factory reset, without... I've tried fully relocking and unrooting the device... both through the FreeGee app *and* manually through adb... no error mssgs, double-checked... everything followed to the letter. There's only one constant each time: Once I've re-unlocked the bootloader (either with the app or through adb)... the phone is basically softbricked... once I turn the power off, it is A) not possible to boot into the stock rom, B) not possible to access fastboot menu, and C) not possible to boot into recovery. The only thing it *is* possible to do is get into download mode... and from there I'd just have to LGNPST again, but what's the point, because once I've done that and tried to unlock again, I already know what's coming. Never been this frustrated with a phone before, any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 2-- No luck. LGNPSTed to stock once more, and factory reset, because yet again, all my apps were still intact... idk. Anyways, decided to do some hunting around with adb, and "adb reboot recovery" produced an error screen... the android lying on his back with case open... am I to assume this means there is a problem with my recovery partition that could be causing my difficulties... or would one expect to see this screen when trying to access recovery on the stock phone?

Honestly I don't know how it was resolved. I lgpnsted and rooted and unlocked the bootloader like 5 times.I got into recovery a few times but then got the same problem two more times. The last time I got into recovery I managed to flash a custom kernel and everything was fine from then on. I just don't understand how this problem is caused or even how it is truly fixed.

There have been a small number of phones that will not unlock with standard freegee. They can be unlocked but it is riskier, you would need to talk to Shelnutt in irc.

Our phones successfully unlocked with freegee originally but some error caused us to lose access to the bootloader and corrupt whatever ROM we were on and then cause errors where we could use free gee but run into problems.

LGNPST back to stock
factory reset from settings->backups
run root exploit
restore original backups from first time freegeeing via adb using carrett's method
reboot
full unroot from SU app
factory reset
LGNPST to stock
re-run root exploit
reboot
re-unlock with freegee script (adb)
disconnect cable
reboot
(right here is the failure. after running "power off and reboot" from the power button menu, phone shuts off. it tries to start up, then i get a quick flash of the LG logo, straight to a backlit black screen that hangs indefinitely. only thing possible from here is to enter download mode.)

I have a brand new phone, picked it less than a week ago, could LG have changed something? bootloader/recovery partition sizes? something?
I am still within the 14 days period and as much as I like the phone, if I can't bootloader unlock, means I will be stuck on stock ROM, and that is something I don't want... might as well go and change it for a different phone, or sell it and get a nexus 4...
I get same.thing. black screen after freegee. Its two days old. So now what!?

How does this happen from a random stock ROM. I think I was using nocturnals ROM and how was the problem resolved through multiple flashes?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
ok... Please pardon my stupidity on this. I had a Tbolt rooted and S-off no problem. My bro-inlaw got a rezound.. so I was like "I can root and ROM it no problem." Well big problem.
I can't really remember what I've done because I've been trying everything left and right. The only thing I know for sure is that it is unlocked and I have Amon Ra's recovery on it..
I've flashed several different PH981IMGs and ROMs and each time it just keeps boot looping the whatever boot animation that ROM uses. i'm sure I've just put things that aren't compatible, but I'm so lost right now.
So, all I really want to do right now is get the whole thing back to stock.
Can anybody please tell me how to get the thing back???
thanks,
Craig
It looks like you are s-on. Use fastboot to flash boot.img on the phone and reboot.
loop
i am also having the exact same problem with my rezound. i am stuck in the boot loop and only get to the htc logo and it just stays there.
i have also tried several img. files for it and can't seem to get it to go. can some one give a few more details on how to boot into fast mode to get it going?
like exactly what files do i need to load? would these be on the root of my sd card? and do i need to rename anything?
i know for sure that my phone is "s-on".
any help would be most appreciated,

Try wiping cache and dalvik?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I recently rooted my HTC sensation and i have now achieved S-off and unlocked my phone.
The main problem is that now if my phone turns off to reboot it I need to go into the recovery and to the command Fastboot boot boot.img. i really need a solution to this because its really annoying to have to use my computer every time I need to reboot my phone especially because im using a CWM and i have a nightly CM rom currently installed
HELP PLEASE
Sounds like something is wrong with the kernel, try to do a full wipe and flash the ROM again

thankswill try that im going on holiday so i will do it when i get back hopefully my phone won't die
ive tried that now and its still not working, i also tried flashing a custom ROM and its still not working.
Maybe try to reflash your bootloader?

I've tried flashing the bootloader and the problems still occurring.
any other ideas?
I don't own a sensation so I don't know this is a common issue, but you can always try reverting to stock and restoring radio secure flags, this can tell you if its firmware/software or a hardware fault

is their possibly a link you could provide to help me with restoring radio secure flags or is that restored when reverting back to stock.
plz and thank you
anything?

Hi,
Try running a RUU.
Look HERE
Are you supercid?
hello I fixed the problem I didn't use the RUU however because I was really confused doing it.
the way In which I had done it was by factory resetting my phone and completely wiping the data and the cache so I didn't have any rom installed it was just the phone and the bootloader. then I went and re-installed the ROM I had chosen with the CWM recovery. although after I had installed the rom and the G-apps I wen and I opened a command prompt window and used the following instruction:
Fastboot Flash boot boot.img
after this I had rebooted my phone using the code:
Fastboot boot boot.img because I didn't know I had fixed the problem but I had to reset my phone and It just worked so thank you all so much for your help I really appreciate all the help and support given :good::victory:
