No recovery - EVO 4G General

I used a wipe all file while trying to flash a rom. By accident I hit the reboot option after it finished. now I can get to bootloader but when I try for recovery my splash screen shows for a second then goes back bootloader. Also my computer is in the shop. Is anything I can do

You can do to the dev section, find the amon ra thread, download the recovery in PC36IMG form then flash it in the bootloader.

Ill give that a try

Just make sure its on the root of your sd card, and its named PC36IMG [it'll already be a zip file].

#1 reason why I do NOT use wipe scripts. Both times i did, my Recovery was corrupted

I've also used flash GUI to flash recovery right in android...

Download from XDA and it's free...can use to flash recovery and kernels..
Also if you checkout HipKat's guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386911
he mentions having a folder system on your SD card that you save things like kernels, roms, utilities. And others. I have my among ra saved in there..makes it a lot easier finding stuff..

Make sure that you NEVER flash the 6.35.xxxx radio with perfected spl you will have access to fastboot only. Did it and regret it.

If you have access to fastboot, shouldn't there be some way to save it? Have you tried applying SAPPIMG.nbh?

Whatever the term is for it, I can't save the device. Because the SPL is perfected, it will not allow me to flash anything at all, radio, recovery, spl.... nada. Just a word to the wise, don't do it. LOL. I've tried everything. got a galaxy s though.

I had a semi bricked phone that could only get to fastboot with the perfectedSPL. Was able to flash the Sappimg.nbh file to reroot, then unroot it again and it worked fine
Strange.... it wouldn't let me flash it.

That's because you don't "flash" sappimg.nbh, you apply it from the bootloader, I think. Power + Volume Down.
Ok, let me put it this way: i can't "flash" or apply anything. It's jacked up.

Hey I screwed up quite a few times in the beginning when rooting, a few times where I could only enter fasboot. What worked for me was flashing the official update from htc (htc.com/dk) from fastboot. (Then of course the hassle of re-rooting, but if that's the only way, small price). I don't know if you can get an official RUU to try? Otherwise, pm me and I'll se about sending you the file if you want to try with the Danish one (I think it's 1.5 or 1.6 + sense UI)..
Edit. This was comming from the official update with perfect split, 1.76.0007.
And you'll of course need to installed fasboot drivers if you haven't already....

what procedure are you following? You should have the sappimg.nbh file on the root of the sd card, then boot into fastboot and choose "apply update from sd card." Then just relax until you're in cupcake and use flashrec to install amon_ra recovery, and proceed to flash roms as usual.
You could try this method, see if it helps.

Bought Evo on eBay... has s-off but recovery goes to red triangle

Ok bought an evo on eBay, after getting rid of my evo for a blackberry and realizing I made a huge mistake. It's used but like new.
I go to the boot screen and it says s-off. Then I select recovery but it goes to an evo with a red triangle.
What can I do?
Thanks

If you can acess the bootloader, I would recommend searching in the rooting wiki and look for a PCIMG file place that in the root of the sd card(hopefully your comp has a media reader) and insert the sd card with that file and the bootloader should detect when you select recovery.
What that file does is resets everything on the phone to stock. if you could find a RUU that might work but if your comp cant see the phone its useless i hope this helps
oh hey just stole this from a post from mattykins(thanks for the link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060

If you're s off, your rooted. The triangle means you have no recovery. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of recovery, using the bootloader. Once you do that, you'll have recovery, and can flash a rom of your choice. That's it. No need to re root or ruu or anything like that. Just recovery, that's it.

This would probably be the easiest thing. DL clockwork from the market and install the recovery I prefer amon_ra it will be at the bottom under alternate recoveries. Also do a nand backup as soon as you have a recovery.
I agree with above, just get rom manager from the market and flash a recovery...simple

SUre, give me one sec to upload a file for you. And as the other guys suggested, flashing a recovery using ROM manager would be your easiest bet. HOWEVER, if you dont have the SUPER USER app, (which i bet you do not), rom manager wont work. t herefore you cant flash anything with it.
So give me one sec, and i'll upload what you need to flash, with instructions for ya
EDIT: I attatched a recovery for you. It's Amon Ra V2.3. Download the PC36IMG, and leave it named exactly as it is. Place the file on the main directory (root) of your sd card. Power your phone off completely. Then boot to the bootloader by holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. When it gets to the bootloader, after a sec it will scan for files, and find the PC36IMG. It will then ask you if you want to update, so select yes (volume UP). Once it's done flashing, it'll ask you to reboot. Select no. Then choose the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should now successfully boot into Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From that point, you can create a backup of your current setup. Then you can perform a full wipe, and then flash the rom of your choice.
And what ever you do DON'T restore a nandroid from your old phone. You will wipe out your 4g if the wimax partition is included in the nandroid.

Ok that worked. I now have Amon ra recovery
But, lol, one more question. Amon ra has changed since I've had an evo.. now when I select backup, it has a list of things I want to back up with "[x]" next to them. Which items should I select? It didn't have that feature in the past so I'm a little lost.

Right, that feature was added after version 1.8.0 (which I still use). I believe you want to check all of the boxes, for your first backup. (I'm not sure if you need to have everything checked after that, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt). I've seen people say that you only need to back up your wimax one time, then keep the file in a safe place (it's your RSA keys), however I just can't see what the problem is with backing it up each time. I kind of like the simplicity of 1.8.0, just hit backup and let it do it's thing. Whatever the heck 1.8.0 automatically backs up on its own, works perfectly fine for me, lol.
So I would just check everything off, and then let it perform the backup.
EDIT: and sorry I don't have more info on that for ya. I'm sure someone else who regulrarly uses ar 2.3 will chime in, and give you a more solid answer. I just simply don't use that recovery, as I never saw a need to 'upgrade' from 1.8.0, because it has always worked flawlessly for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd say you could use 1.8.0 if you wanted to, but I believe it won't work on the 004 hardware phones with the 0040000 size erase block.
Ok cool.
Thanks again
And yes i remember the simple way, things are supposed to get easier as time goes on, not more complicated, haha!

Trouble with evo. Unsuccessful downloads and force close errors

I yried o get feedback about this in the q&a but got nothing. I'm running decks evo gingerbread deck 1.2.1 coupled with tiamat.

Tried changing kernels, reflashing rom, factory resets, fix permissions,.... still nothing works. Does anyobe kbow how I can solve this problem?

Download newest ROM and kernel, put on SD card. Hope you are using Amon Ra. Wipe cache, dalvik, system, boot, data, Android.secure, sdext, everything except for SD card - twice.
Flash ROM then kernel. Reboot. Do fresh installs of apps.
Did you restore apps with Titanium Backup?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
No I use clockwork mod recovery and I fresh install my apps. I see no point in using titanium backup when I don't do a whole lot with them. And this is the final version of 2.3.4 for this rom and the 2.3.5 beta isn't working well with my phone. It disables my 3g and doesn't allow me to download even from the market

Like tropicalbrit said: Try Amon-Ra and do the wipe with it and see how it works. I get better results always with that recovery, that is why I use it instead of Clockwork.
How do I permanently install amon ra? I can flash it through rom manager but it always boots me into clockwork mod even though it says its successful

Strange Root Issue

When I saw the port for ICS come out I got really excited and flashed it right away. Then I realized for whatever reason I didnt have SU permissions so I couldn't tether to my computer. I was disappointed but I thought, "no biggie, I'll just restore from my back up." When I flashed my back up the SU app was in my app drawer but I still couldn't tether. As a matter of fact I can't do anything that requires SU but the bootloader still reads unlocked. WTF?
I can't flash a new recovery either. I tried installing from ROM manager, I tried pushing it from my computer but I can't get to the recovery any more. ROM manager says that I have CWM 5.0.2.0 currently installed but I can't get to it at all. Again, WTF?

Thanks for not answering my questions.

I cannot access the recovery mode AT ALL. I cannot flash or push a new recovery but it fully boots into Gingerbread w/o any issues. What is wrong with my phone and how do I fix it.

Try from rom manager to reinstall a previous recovery version.

That doesn't work either. It goes through the prompts but it doesn't actually reboot do the installation.
I just tried unrooting and then re - rooting but that didn't work and I think that actually wiped my phone completely. I don't even know where an SD card would get into this thing.

No suggestions have worked so far. It does not matter what the recovery image name is, whenever I try the flash it Terminal says that it cannot load "***.img" or if I try an install command it says that it cannot find "***.zip" I'm on a snow leopard iMac so I don't need drivers n such.
Let me pose the question like this, what would I do to completely restore the phone to factory condition and try to root it again? Like I said before, the bootloader says that it is unlocked but I do not have any root privileges, could not access the recovery I had before nor install a new recovery after having locked the unlocked the phone's bootloader again.

find yourself a one-click root method on XDA that includes superuser, busybox, and CWM.
EDIT: Also, double check the md5 sum for the CWM .zip. use
Code:

Recovery issues

Ok so today I was bored at work and decided to play with a few eons and download diff ROM managers from the market . things like that. Well after doing so I can't get my phone to boot into recovery. When I select boot into recovery it just boots back into the screen that gives me option to boot into recovery ,clear storage ect.
I cleared my storage after many attemps hoping it would fix the problem but didn't.
What do I need to do to get my phone to go into recovery? Thanks

Have you tried reflashing your recovery? I have Amon Ra 2.3 available here. You can also find different versions of CWM and other recoveries at this great site: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic.
Be sure the file is named PC36IMG.zip (don't add the zip extension) and on the root of your SD card. The first link to Amon Ra is already named correctly. Boot into hboot (volume down + power) and let it find the file. Update when it asks, don't reboot, then try booting into recovery.
Should fix your problem.

You get more control over your flashes and ensure that everything is wiped that you want wiped.
If you don't know how to flash manually then you get lazy and don't learn anything, then when you get yourself in a jam like this you don't know how to get out of it.
I feel like if I can do something by hand then I can do it better than the app can. There's less room for error if you know what you're doing and more room for troubleshooting.

I know how to flash manually. Just easier to go through rom manager I guess was my thought behind it.
