Flashed OJM's rom in TWRP, and now my phone won't boot at all. I can't find my NANDROID backup I made, and I cannot mount internal storage and when I plug it into my computer, it says that the internal storage needs to be formatted. Am I just screwed or what?
you have access to bootloader or recovery? Also, RUU is likely an option (last resort, of course)

or try ruu
does it mount the external storage in TWRP? if so why not just put a rom on that and flash it there?

Yes it does, and I put one on and it just won't flash it. Keeps rebooting TWRP
Anyone else have 36c492e612ded94745c1dcb28382395c for their md5?

Did you happen to be playing around with the kernel as well? and how was it flashed?
I hope your Blocks aren't bad nor un-writable, for the message given to you will not be able to fix.
Very easy fix

I screwed up the same way the very first day I got the phone. The eMMC on this phone tends to get easily corrupted. The fix is extremely easy. Just click Format. Then Flash ROM. Done.
If you do not have custom recovery installed please google how to do it using Android SDK through fastboot.
The good thing about Android phones (and particularly HTC) is that short of dropping an actual brick on the phone it is really hard to "brick"it. I am yet to see one hopelessly dead.
This is in detail:
1. Boot-up into recovery
2. Mount internal storage
3. Connect to a USB port on a computer
4. Right click on the Removable Disk (X where X could be any letter depending on your computer. Format. Done. Disconnect from PC.
5. From within TWRP recovery install the ROM you have downloaded and put on your External microSD card. Do not forget to select "Using External SDCard" before flashing.
I think I'm in trouble. PLEASE HELP!

JEWEL PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT – 1.12.1111
Radio – 1.02.12.0427
Recovery – TWRP 2.2.2
ROM – CyanogenMod 10
I tried to upgrade to TWRP 2.3.1:
Download - Bootloader Method:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jew....1.0-jewel.zip
Download the file above and rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place it on the root of the sdcard. Boot into bootloader and accept the update. Boot back to the ROM and rename/remove the file
Everything went well and the update was successful. However, my phone is stuck in a boot loop – clocking on the Cyanogen boot animation (the word “CyanogenMod” in the middle of a circle going clockwise on the outside and counter-clockwise on the inside). I let it run as long as 30 minutes - - no luck.
I am able to long-hold the power button to bring me back to the Upgrade screen. If I hit yes <VOL UP>, it updates successfully and asks to hit power to re-boot. If I hit no <VOL DOWN>, the upgrade is aborted and I am asked to hit power to re-boot.
I‘m thinking my options are:
1. Try the “RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter” to get back to where I was
2. Try the 1.13.165.1 RUU to get back to factory and then re-root.
3. ???
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Gary
Did you put it on the internal or external? If you put it on the external card remove it and reboot to bootloader. This is why I tell people to flash recovery manually
I think I would try and return back to 2.2 since it was working great there and "restore", and find out for sure if my DL source was actually from TeamWin or if any compatible issue may occur with installing or upgrading to the new recovery.
Since you 1.12.1111(modified), just remember that you have to be stock 1.12.000 and s-on "if" you are thinking to go the RUU route.

As long as the update is on the card the bootloader will be stuck trying to install it and reboot or reboot if install is canceled so trying to downgrade is pointless and I don't know if ruu will even recognize the phone in the middle of an update
Try a full wipe and reflash your rom
If the user has an update on the internal the bootloader will be stuck trying to update, no access to recovery
Not bricked.
Great diagnosis bud, any ideas? Even with bootloader attempting to install, is fastboot accessible?
I FIXED IT. Thanks to Tekn010933, {ParanoiA} and om4. Since the new "PJ75IMG.zip" was on the card, it would continue to loop. I figured I would remove the sdcard. I knew there was a chance of corruption, but I removed it and got into TWRP. It was 2.3.1, but I reloaded 2.2.2., updated it to 2.3.1, clean full wipe, NAND restore and back in business.
This was the most scared I've been since I started rooting (my Hero, my OG Evo and my Evo 4G LTE).
WHEW!!!
Here I was thinking you pushed it to internal, well I asked but didn't get an answer so I assumed lol
bricked htc evo 4g sprint
phone will not turn on and when i hold the power button for more than thirty seconds the orange lcd flashes five times then to off again cant even reachthe bootloader screen any help please!!!! i have two years of warranty so worst case senario is i bring it back it and get a new one but if any could help me soon would be greatly appreciated
So i have an HTC Amaze 4G, T mobile. I rooted it using Hasoon2000's all in one kit to do the rooting and all. Once i did that i didn't flash any roms. An old problem arose with the phone with the contacts app always force closing, didn't mind it. So what i did then was want beats audio so i installed the drivers. Everything was fine and dandy until one day it started to restart on its own, and then the weather app would force close. Until when it restarted one time, all i got was a blank black screen, with just the status bar at the top. I couldn't bring down the quick settings or even the side buttons would not work, all i could do was just turn off the screen. So if somebody can tell me what i did, what happened, and maybe a link or explanation of how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

your talking bout the beats audio app in playstore? which required rooted device?? happen to me also :/ go to the bootloader (do a battery pull then press power button + volume down button) and do a factory reset it should be okay then if you have a recovery take a backup of your sd card from pc it'll wipe of everything!

Im not sure, but Im positive it was because when it installed and i restarted my phone there was a huge difference in sound quality. So it must have been the 3.6 Sense version.

I have tried a factory reset already,When i do that i still get the same problem, just the top status bar shows and everything is just black. I have TeamWinRecovery tried the factory reset already and it says failed, so im going to try clock work mod. Also im trying to flash a new ROm to see if that will fix it, but Teamwin nor Clockwork recognize the zip file in my sd card. Ive renamed it multiple times to see if it will recognize it then.

I've been trying to root my EVO 4G LTE using various guides from this board, and I'm not having a lot of luck. I have HBOOT 2.09 and it's S-ON. It seems like the easiest way to root the device is to go S-OFF, but then it appears that the device needs to be rooted to get S-OFF. So I'm a little confused at this point. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, but when I try to install the SuperSU root utility it gives me an error about mounting partitions and fails. My bootloader screen also displays "TAMPERED" which seems to be a problem but I'm not having a lot of luck finding a way to resolve it.
So... can anyone tell me what my next step is?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using Facepalm, Moonshine, or DirtyRacun? You haven't really provided enough details to help, at this point. What's your software version? I assume you're running the stock ROM?
I was running the stock ROM, I think it was 3.16. I tried using Facepalm but again it seems like it needs root to work which I haven't been able to achieve just yet. I tried installing the ROM from this thread through TWRP but it just hangs on the HTC screen so I'm not sure what's on there now. I can still get into the bootloader and recovery though.
You can't use Facepalm on 3.16 software. Use Moonshine.
Try flashing this stock rooted to get back to a working state: http://d-h.st/users/Captain_Throwback/?fld_id=10308#files
You may need to fastboot flash the boot.img to make sure it fully boots.
OK, I downloaded that ROM and extracted the boot.img. I booted the phone into the bootloader and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img". It seems to have completed correctly, no errors at least, but now the phone just sits at the HTC screen with the red text at the bottom. Clearly I'm doing something wrong...
Did you flash the ROM too? Or did it reboot on you when you tried?
I just did the boot.img. Should I also do "fastboot flash zip 3.16.651.3_stock_rooted_odex_CPTB.zip"?

You have to flash the ROM in recovery.
Ok, so I went into recovery which is still TWRP, adb pushed that ROM to the phone then tried to install it. It gives a bunch of error messages about being unable to mount various items, says it's unable to find path for partition [name of the zip] and fails.
Thanks for your help and patience so far...
You do not extract the file, leave it as a zip and do not open it. Move it to your SD card while in fastboot (mount sd) and from there use twrp and select the correct zip to flash. But above all... DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILR

I don't understand what you're doing here. Boot to recovery, mount storage, copy the ROM zip over, and then flash it.
Ok, so I mounted storage from recovery, or least I tried to, my PC said it needed to be formatted. So I did so, copied the file over and flashed it which completed successfully this time. My phone now boots properly, I'll give Moonshine a try now. Hopefully I won't need to bug you again, thanks for all the help.

I'm having a little trouble with Moonshine. It reboots the phone a couple of times, gets to step 3 then just keeps printing periods in the program window. I've been reading through the Moonshine thread and it seems other people have had the same problem, but I haven't seen a solid fix yet. Anyone know what I need to do or should I stick with the Moonshine thread?
Hello. I'm having trouble with my HTC Rezound. I had CWM and Clean Rom was running fine but I tried to switch to Venasaur so I could use it on Straight Talk. I had an unlocked boot loader and everything worked before I tried flashing the new rom. Now, My phone won't even turn off unless it's dead.The bootloader says relocked, and it just keeps putting itself in fast boot whether I power it on or not.It says security warning under tampered and relocked. Can anybody please help me out? It would be much appreciated!

No offense taken! I'm here for help after all, haha. But yes, I have the unlock code.bin, type that into a CMD run from he sdk folder, get the accept screen on the phone, accept and it still says relocked. I dunno what I'm doing wrong, or if the phone is just screwed..
Hmmm... weird, so it must be accepting the token if it is prompting you on the phone to accept the terms on the phones. Guess I have never been in this position where it wouldn't unlock. Did you try going through the entire process on the HTCdev.com again from start to finish? Other than that, I would have to differ this to someone with a little more "hacking" knowledge on the Rezound, like @REV3NT3CH
I hate to say it, but if it won't unlock again, that is bad... really bad, like might be bricked and require a JTAG bad.

Why Venasaur, it is very old and unsupported for almost 2 years... I would recommend Evervolv (KitKat 4.4.2), Tachyon (4.3 Jellybean), or EclipticRez Revamped v9 (Sense ICS), all are stable and have support.

Evervolv should work with a GSM SIM, Edge only, you need to flash the GSM patch for Evervolv though.
What error is it giving you?
EDIT: I don't see any reference to Straight Talk in the Venasaur thread.
Venasaur uses an older update-binary thats now incompatible with the newer builds of TWRP. The fix, flash it twice. I recommend using TWRP 2.5.0.0 for ICS/GB roms, latest for JB/KK.

Are you copying the ROM file to the external SD card?
You will probably need to do a complete wipe of the phone except external SD card in the Wipe->Advanced menu, I usually do it at least twice. Then go to the Mounts, select external SD and Mount, it should allow you to get to the SD card with your PC via USB, copy the ROM ZIP file over and go back home and Install and browse to the ZIP and flash.

I had been using another phone to put the ROM zip on the external SD card. It finally said it installed Evervolv, but when I boot up it just black screens now :/
[EDIT] Now when I try to wipe it says: "E: Unable to mount '/emmc' E: Unable to mount '/emmc' E: Unable to mount internal storage"

How did you start TWRP, from the phone or via "fastboot boot" command? If you started TWRP from the phone, you need to flash the boot.img manually.

Start with S-OFF. After that, you just run the RUU from HTC (like you would've done to upgrade to 4.3).
after that thats all i do?

Your storage is likely corrupt. You can format it with your PC but this will delete everything from your storage. All you need to do is download the SuperSU zip to your phone and flash it in recovery, then you'll be rooted. You'll also need to install the SuperSU app from the Play store if it's not included in whatever ROM you flash. Once you've done this you can start the S-off process.

If you have any important files on your internal storage copy them to your PC. You can download the SuperSU zip afterwards and use your computer or a file manager to move it to your SD card if you'd like but it won't matter where you put it, it's just personal preference.

I would suggest running the RUU again. Connect your phone and PC via Fastboot USB mode. Once you've done this, double-click the RUU to start the installer. Since you're S-on you may have to relock your bootloader first.

I even tried re locking it and it still didn't do any good!

So I tried relocking it and when I unlocked it again, it didn't work, I still under go the problem where I can't access recovery because it would bootloop any other options instead of fastboot

Did you relock it and try the RUU?
Sent from my HTC device
I didn't try that, I'm a noob about these things, I'm sorry, when I get the ruu, what do I do? Do I just install it directly from my computer? Or use the fastboot commands?

It's run from your computer. Click the top link in my sig and scroll down to the section regarding RUU's and follow the instructions I've posted in that thread.
