Installed ClockworkMod...

Hi guys,
I've tried using unrevoked 3.3 on my wildfire, with android 2.1, didn't work - so I tried 3.2 and I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 on there, I can boot into that now,
But still not knowing how to root it,
Can someone give me some advice from here, I get the "Internal error" message and can't go any further, but I assume you can manually do it, since I've got the clockworkmod recovery on there,
Toby =)

if you have clockworkmod recovery then that means you rooted it, just put a custom rom onto your sd card, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card. do a nandroid backup of your rom first.

When I try using Titanium Backup, I get a failed message...

Okay, I installed busy box and it says it rooted, does the clockworkmod matter what version you have?

Nope, you should be fine.

Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes, is Wildpuzzle rom trustworthy? It's been around for awhile right? =)

Yeah wildpuzzle is good, I used to use it.

I had abit of a freak out, I wiped my phone then couldn't load any custom rom =( But now its loading, hoping it works...

I don't know if the rom is loading or not, the screen with the android symbol coming out of the box showed up now and white backgroud with the "HTC quietly brilliant" animation seems to be sitting there forever,
I installed the SUnAaBh v1.1** rom from sc card,
Does this seem right?

First boot takes 10 to 15 min.
You should have done a nandroid backup of your stock rom first, oh well.
If it doesn't boot, do a full wipe, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery and flash again.

After like 2 or 3 minutes, the screen goes black then the HTC logo screen comes back on and loads again, makes me think its in a loop and no installed right =\

Do a full wipe and try flash again. If it doesn't work, try a different rom.

Yeah, I did a back up with nandroid then moved the files to my computer incase, they was in a folder called orangeworkmod folder?,
Wipe cache?

Yes, you should wipe data and cache before installing a new rom. They are all there in recovery.

Okay, yeah - its all good, was just taking time, does wildpuzzle rom have overclocking feature, or is that a application?

Evo 4g STOCK S-On Stuck in a boot loop

Ok so my girls evo 4g is still stock and NONrooted. She was having some connection issues and we called up sprint. They had me punch in some numbers in a menu that came up buy pressing ##somenumbers#. after i entered the numbers they told me to a promt came up saying "press ok to reboot" and i did that. after that the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. They dont know wtf happened so they are sending her a replacement but since its on "back order" (wonder why, they're always on backorder lol) they say itll prob take about 1 week or 2 before we get it and in the meantime i dont need her tieing up my phone (its MINE gdamit) im wondering what i can do. The phone will go into Hboot and Android recovery (3e) so i was considering trying to install the PC36img on her phone but i dont want to screw anything up. and since i cant get bast the boot screen i dont know what to look for so i dont mess up.
Again:
STOCK NONroot (ever)
S-On
Boot loop
please help.
Thank you

Will it let you get to the hboot? Pull out the battery for a few seconds then reolace it. Hold power and volume up. If you can get to the hboot you might be able to do a factory reset or even relash the stock rom

well thats what i was thinking of doing but cant seem to find a recent one and ive been to Shipped roms but im not sure what the latest ota one is
the current image version on the phone rite now is 4.24.651.1

I will help you out if you haven't found the solution by the time I get home. Basically find the zip of 4.24, rename it PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card. Boot into hboot and it will scan and find the file. Follow the prompts and you should be good.
The site to get it from is Goo.inside.me or something like that. It would be in the Supersonic section

thats exactly my problem i cant seem to find a 4.24 zip that hasn't been messed with and ive been searching all over the place

i think i just found it... ill keep you posted

I cant seem to find the stock 2.3.3 either.. in the hboot try scrolling down to clear storage and try a factory reset, otherwise you will need to flash the stock rom. If I can find one I will post a link

Go to the bootloader. Then go to system info. What does it say on the eMMC line? Does it say Samsung or Sandisk?

flash the PD151IMG.zip file through bootloader, THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA, AND RETURN YOU TO STOCK MT4G 2.2.1. this is so you can root again.
download link here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
once you have it downloaded:
1) move to ROOT of sdcard (not in any folders)
2) make sure fastboot is OFF
3) reboot phone into bootloader by holding power and volume down buttons.
4) the phone should find the file, and ask if you want to "update"
5) select yes, and let it do it's thing. BE PATIENT
6) hit the thanks button (IMPORTANT )
7) after returning to stock, get the phone rooted again and flash a rom on there.
WARNING: IF IT SHOWS FAIL-PU, THE PHONE IS BRICKED.
Fail-PU means that the partition update has failed, due to the fact that the phone cannot write to the eMMC chip anymore, because the chip has died.

it shows fail on everything, but when it gets to TP it says bypass and its still updating radio_V2

Any help greatly appreciated! If I am in the wrong place, very sorry

Which recovery are you trying to flash and how?? via PC36IMG?

Thanks for the reply!!! recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img. and update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip I tried both as pc36img from HBoot and via fast boot. neither worked. I also tried to install to change boot.img via fastboot. same message.

Look for the Amon Ra thread in the Development section, grab the PC36IMG.zip Make sure that it's named exactly like that and flash that in Hboot. That should give you recovery.

i wish there was odin for htc devices

Will try that again first thing in the a.m. Been working on it all day and the brain is mush! I'll post the result as soon as I'm done. Thanks!

Well this happened to me once, what i did was i put on my sd card any other rom (i was using cm7 nightlies so i put another nightly in) and then i wiped cache and flashed it, however it might also help if from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702 you get the format all zip and use that to wipe everything. once you have flashed another rom and your phone turns on wait a little bit and then try once again to flash the first rom you were trying to flash.

Holy Cannoli!! Ok that .zip worked for the recovery (I tried several different downloads!) Now I have to see if I can copy an image. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the info. I totally though the phone was bricked. Actually the phone would load in HBoot and Fastboot but I couldn't get a recovery on or a ROM. In other words there was no ROM to boot to. In addition to that, wether I tried from SD card or fastboot, I couldn't get any .img, .zip etc to install. So here I was with an HBoot - S-off and no way to get a recovery or ROM on the puppy. I am still working on this and still jammed up but the recovery gives me hope. Please stick around in case I have a meltdown. (hasn't happened yet but I can feel it getting closer!) LOL
Stick around for the detail of what I did If I can get this ROM onboard! Maybe this will help someone else.

Success!!! I have a recovery and a ROM!
Here are the details...First I believe my SD card was/is corrupted. I am still using it and I formatted it several times but I think something was squirrely which is now fixed. Second, the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip that I downloaded at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=recovery
worked awesome to get a working recovery via HBoot and SD Card. Next, I used the new recovery to load my ROM. and Voila a working phone.
Moral of the story, Check the SD card, USB drivers, and file downloads for corruption. I think one or all of these played a part in my crash.
@ Johnboy this is an excellent group of developers and members here at XDA, I have been flashing both Winmo and Android for a long time but can always rely on the forums to bring me back to center when I crash and burn! Thanks everyone for your help.

No it won't let me go into recovery to flash anything. All I need is a trick to get into recovery and I can wipe everything then perform a nandroid restore. I already have had the pc36img.zip on the root of the zip. It is copied correctly but idk if I spelled it right on here cuz I'm on my girlfriends phone and can't remember it.everytime I boot into hboot that zip updates but doesn't help...

when you go to boot loader and it loads, it then should ask if you want to update splash - hit no, then to reboot - hit no, then you should be able to go one down and hit recovery. do you get those options?

I get those options but when I click recovery it goes to the white htc Evo 4g screen and stays there no matter how long I wait.

I know I sound like a broken record but try formatting your SD card or using a different known good card and also use the link in my post above to re-download the pc36img.zip Amon RA Recovery. Then you know all the components are "clean and without erro". Then you can start to figure out the problem.

bad emmc preventing me from flashing now..

is there anything else i can do to flash roms still? or am i stuck on my icecoldsandwich backup forever?

Bootloader version?

how would one go about locating this?

Reboot. When your screen goes black and backlight on keys goes out hold down volume down to boot into bootloader. Write down the info displayed at the top of the screen and post it here.

Is bootloader even relevant here? Anyway, are you sure its the eMMC? Usually symptoms for bad emmc include lag and ending up with a shiny paperweight. Why domt you try reflashing cwr?

Yes it is relevant. Very. Ever since the HTCdev unlocked boot loader came about I've seen some weird things. By telling us what bootloader he has we know exactly what he is dealing with.

Engineering bootloader. So you should be good to flash another rom. Reflash CWM recovery using ROM manager, just in case there is sonething wonky with your recovery. Download your desired rom. Reboot into recovery. Make a backup. Go to mounts and storage. Format system and data, and wipe cache. Go back to main menu and hit wipe data/factory reset. Then install your rom.
If you have tried those steps before to no avail then.... I don't know.

Tried flashing cwm again through rom manager again. I was getting hopeful when I noticed the bootanimation was lasting longer then usual...then my heart sank when it froze.
Just to make sure I did it right
I reflashed cwm using the rom manager app
Formatted system data and cache under mounts and storage
Factory data and full wipe them cache and dalvik
Flashed the latest version of the ice cold sandwich rom
And then freeze..

No, that was pretty frickin thorough. Man.... what a drag. I don't get it. Does anyone have any ideas at all?

Flash a non ics Rom, that might be it

You know where you hook your phone up to the computer and then run the .exe file from your computer?
