you probably will need to do a factory reset from the BOOTLOADER, you know, the white screen with the colorful text options...I've seen this is how other people who lose 4g fix it.
also I just found this in case you experience any issues with the internal SD card after doing a bootloader factory reset:
Connect the phone to a Windows PC, open Device Manager. There you should have the option to format the SD memory. Format as FAT32, and this should fix the SD card corruption.
This is a bug within hboot, and factory resets should only be done in TWRP.

So I went to bootloader and pressed factory reset but it sends me directly to twrp? Do I just press factory reset in there or was it suppose erase without going to recovery?

Hi,
I accidentally updated to Gingerbread on my Thunderbolt, and I forgot I rooted my phone, by the time I remembered it already had a blue android and an explaimation mark. So I did some random crap, and probley made it worse.
First I did the vol down power thing went to factory reset it loaded CWM v4.0.1.4
I wiped cache patition
Dalvick cache
and Battery stats
then I wiped data/factory reset
It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off
and it's annoying as crap
I'm a noob so I don't understand stuff
should I go ahead with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
I couldn't understand it and if your not rooted why would you unroot I don't get that part...
Do I still have root?
What does flash exactly mean?
Current Specs (I don't know what to give but I'll guess)
Thunderbolt
Top says
Mecha XD S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
eMMC-boot
Android Version 2.2.1
(tell me if you need any other info)
Should I upgrade to gingerbread any way
Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.
Pull the update off the SD. It will stop flashing it

I had a friend who's phone auto updated and is stuck on the htc boot screen. Will deleting the update off the sd card work also? Her phone is not rooted, just hoping to save her from having to replace it.
And how do you forget you rooted your phone?
If pulling the update off the sd what do i need to look for
i have a similar problem

1) The phone will not boot all the way up?
2) is the recovery stock or CWM?
3) do you have a recent back up made?
4) do you have s-off?

1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking
2. cwm recovery
3. no backups recent or not
4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'
Does it crash or shut off? Maybe a hardware problem?
It powers down the normal way.

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.
But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.
A custom ROM fixed me, but now the same thing poped up.
May go back to stock .... trying xdabolt, but in the process lost my data.

What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.
Hey I endded up just unrooting using this video
(can't show video url)
(Search how to unroot on youtube you should see it by nat3mil and I think that's only if you have revolutionary)
and I guess the video would work too.
If you restored to factory settings using power and vol down buttons and wiped the data in the revolutionary thing, and then followed the video...
phones working now and the video's idiot-proof
just posting this if anyone else needded to unroot

You would think but I have seen people who after being on here a year still don't know the difference between flashing something in ROM manager or recovery.

unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.
i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...
if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time
I had my phone half rooted, OTA came and I selected to defer, well I forgot and now I have the security warning.I tried flashing through the bootloader on my SD card the stock file and I still have the security warning. I use my phone as my internet source so it's been a big PITA. The phone starts, goes to 1x, then 4G, then restarts over and over.
Won't load into recovery, won't factory reset, using HBOOT USB and the command prompt the device isn't recognized.
Right now its as follows:
S-ON
1.04.0000
1.16.0223r

If the phones rooted you can prolly get into recovery VIA hboot.
If its not rooted you can prolly find a ota ruu and flash it in hboot. U can do that if its rooted too but ull lose root. Or if its a locked s off there's methods to roll back to factory and turn s on. And yes delete the orig update off the card

My friend forgeted evo 3d password. So I would like to reset it. In H boot I chose the factory reset and select it by power button. I think there should ask for confirmation, however there was not and the phone restarted but seems the lock and my other apps still there.
Why this happened?
Thanks.

No. When select recovery the phone just reboot again.
Do you have a cdma or gsm 3D?
Edit: Either way, figure out which version of software you are on and download the corresponding RUU from here. The RUU's are the ones that end in .exe
Get the phone into fastboot, plug it into your computer, and run the exe from the computer. It will factory reset the phone. Good luck!
solved.
re-flashed the shooter recovery and wiped data in the recovery.
Thanks.
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
OS Version: Android 2.3.4
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+.

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.
Lost data after Beast 4.3 / or to sideloading and dirty-installing the M7 rom. Flashing different roms/radios made no difference.
SOLUTION TO DATA LOSS:

Just a heads up to anyone that's on the Verizon version having extreme data loss. If you messed with your apn it could have screwed something up were you might need to run the RUU to fix. It happened to me and micromod. So if that has happened and have tried to get data back and nothing has worked you will need to
1. Nandroid then install the pre ota hboot
2. Relock
3. Backup internal memory then Run RUU
4. After RUU finishes do a factory reset.
5. Reboot and data should be back.
6. Unlock if desired or just install ENG hboot and install recovery and flash your nandroid and good to go.

After flash it began to boot-loop and ( foolishly ) without a backup I had to use ADB sideload to reflash M7. That worked, but now I have no data, it won't detect the sim card. Tried reflashing the radios+hboot ( yes unlocked and S-off ) to no avail.
Backed up to a stock rom made after S-off but that also doesn't have data ( and keeps yelling "droid" every 10 seconds ).

at this point I would suggest going back and read the flashing your recovery. Then after you do that go back in and try and flash kernel again.seems like all your problems are caused by bad last of the kernel.
