Is my phone bricked? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I tried updating my wife's Evo Shift to MikShifted-G v2.1 but it kept saying ERROR STATUS 0 something about my SDCARD. The last ROM i flashed on this phone was MikShifted-G v1.75 and I still had it on the SD card so I tried to flash back to it but it still gives me the same error... Can someone please help? Thanks!
Here is her HBOOT settings if this helps...

Please help!

Ok check the website for newest recovery and then youll have to push the recovery via adb cant remember the command tho maybe someone else will see this and know what it is
If you dont mind me askin how did it get that way???
CRAYONS TASTE LIKE PURPLE

I had that problem when I was on clockwork mod touch and it was add simple as switching back to the non touch. I would redownload the ROM again tho just to make sure it's not a bad download

[ROM] Stock 2.1 Hero Update zip from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test.exe

Since some people were interested I've made a stock update zip from the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test.exe so you can flash via recovery.
This is just for those who want a completely stock rom to work off of or those that can't or don't want to run the RUU. If you want something already tweaked then use DamageControl. I'm not trying to start a custom rom I just did this for a couple people that wanted it.
It does not include the new hboot or radio.img included in the RUU and the system is stock except for adding busybox, patched su and sh.
To use su you need to install Superuser.apk.
Busybox is not installed by default you can do that through a terminal app or adb executing su and running "busybox --install /system/xbin".
You must be rooted and flash via Amon_ra recovery. Recommend nandroid backup and wipe/factory reset before flashing.
Here is a link to my post on how to make an update zip from the RUU.
Download link for the update/rom:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6022412/zen-hero_0.1b.zip
The link might be down since dropbox just suspended my public links due to excessive traffic.
Alternate download:
http://www.4shared.com/file/YqMmKAzL/zen-hero_01b.html
This is a link to my google code site where i put up some of the binaries/scripts that I use for rom making. These are linux binaries. If you download them put them in your path so you can execute them from anywhere. Also make sure you chmod them to executable. If you don't know how the google can tell you.
http://code.google.com/p/zen-droid/downloads/list
Due to recent events I just want to say that the devs here put a lot of work into getting you guys these leaked roms. They risk their credibility and their sources risk their jobs. So have some respect and remember it's just a phone.
Thank you,I'm sure a lot of people were wanting this.
What is the point of making a zip when you can just use the RUU?
My RUU just got done booting!

For people not running windows and for people that don't want to risk flashing hboot or the radio.img.
See I did not know it came with the radio image!
Just booted up fine and got the new radio image and a knew PRI# and was able to update my PRL as well!
Zenulator: heh I'm working on a rom I titled Zendroid... wonder if people will confuse it as being something related to you.

Yea I thought that was kind of funny. Nice name for a rom though
yeah well, I thought it had a nicer ring to it than fengshuidroid.... was going for a rom which was also centered around a nice clean theme to the sense ui. I'm still making headway on the project.

okay i have a question, i was trying to update the recovery image to the 1.6.2 . but i get an error ..
The img file is in the sd card and when i do flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img i get flash_image not found error ...
i tired to go from scratch and do the factory 1.5 image (RUU) but now says can not start bootloader ...any ideas?

ever i try i can not load the damn recovery image ...
power + menu gives me a picture of the phone with ! .....
how can i load the recovery image ?
The phone is rooted but just wont take the revory image
Now this might be a stupid question, but do we need Root for this? I have a friend who's terrified of Rooting but really wants 2.1, so could he just Flash this through the Stock Recovery Image, or should I force him to Root?
Edit: NVM sorry I just read the 1st post on page 2. Told you it was a stupid question.
It seems like the flash_image command is missing.

[Q] boot loop

Hey I hate having to post this but im stumped. i was running cm7 nightly build 21 and wanted to flash back to stock pd15img. i followed the steps but when i went to update all it did was turn s on. now my mytouch gets to the animated MY logo and loops. i can still get to recovery and i have tried restore my backup but i still get the MY animated boot logo. any help or suggestions? thanks.
Did you revert your recovery back to stock or Clockwork 2.x instead of Clockwork 3.x that CM7 requires?

Yep. 2.5.1.2.. I even tried just flashing icedglacier but i still get the animated MYlogo wich continues to loop.
does the phone have to be rooted to fix this? It was prior to flashing the PD15IMG, but like i said when it was done loading the image i clicked update and it just turned s on....
okay so i just made some progress i think. i just flashed icedglacier again and this time it changed the boot logo to the icedglacier boot logo but it still loops.
on the bright side of things i was really tire of seeing the mytouch logo.

the PD15IMG is a HBoot flashed image. not via Clockwork's Recovery Manager.
What method did you follow to try and unroot your phone.
We kinda need to know what you did in order to fix it.
If you store the PD15IMG onto the root of the SD card and boot into bootloader it should automatically restore everything to a factory spec.
I unrooted my device by downloading the unroot folder and using visionary and the terminl emulator.
I didnt try to flash pd15img through clockworkmod i just put it on the root of my sd card and let the hboot do the rest once it loaded the image it gave me he update option i chose to update and when my phone came back on in hboot i saw s off and now im stuck in boot loop.
I have to get to work but if you think of anything that could help me out trhat would be awesome thanks guys for reading this in the first place
ps now if i try to load the pd15img it will load the image but there is no update opyion

I also made this mistake, I had to reflash a cm7 rom or miui, downgrade the recovery to 2.5.x (could also adb push) and from there went back to stock and rerooted and flashed ice glacier.

hahaha thanks bro, love the "(great for noobs)" in the title of the thread. will try as soon as possible.

5. On your phone go to Settings/Applications/Development and make sure USB debugging is ON and plug it in via the usb..
any suggestions??

Being that you have s=on it's going to be fairly difficult. [sidenote] i still cannot believe the PD15IMG didn't work for you [/sidenote]. but you can try and use the fastboot commands.If s=off you could load a separate recovery image and flash a ROM to get you up and running.
yeah, i knew this would happen to me. when i try to adb in it dosent show my device. i have a thing with best buy where they will mail it in to htc to have it fixed but im not sure since i modded the phone.

fastboot devices did not do anything for me.
wait a minute.... it did show something a second time it says sh0bt602653 fastboot....
Ok, that means fastboot has detected your phone. You can flash individual system.img, recovery.img, etc directly from fastboot.
so what do i flash? what commands do i need to use.

Have you tried reflashing CWM via fastboot? Could just be your recovery got borked and you need to reflash recovery.
You can also try reflashing CWM via ROM Manager.
edit: Your img file might be corrupt, did you compare the MD5 sum? How are you flashing recovery?

No you don't have to do all of that,
Just download the correct CWM recovery.img file, CHECK the MD5, then flash via fastboot, you don't have to start fresh or anything.

what phone is this for?
I got that it's an HTC device running Sense 4 but we might help you find a better CWM recovery link if we know which device you're using on what carrier.

Awesome!
Glad we got you back up and running, it can be a real pain when the issue is a bad img file and you can't seem to figure out what is going on, but people need to remember to check MD5 sums for recoveries, radios and bootloaders lest they brick.
I don't think you need to upload since that link seems to work, they can just find the CWM for that phone from the link I provided and flash via fastboot from there.
Cheers bro, let us know how it's going after you flash the ROM

Yea it is, but I think it's more for Motorola devices. I don't know what HTC uses if anything different. But my phone would boot to the OS so I could still install apps via the SD card. Once I got that properly reinstalled I could access the boot menu again.
Seems like you got that issue solved by I still wanted to follow up.

I believe I bricked my phone.. NEED HELP !

So i guess I felt out of date and wanted to root my phone and use that cm10 rom or whatever everyone else is and i messed it up real bad. I keep getting this msg "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc.." on the loading screen. At this point i just want to restore it back to normal , idc if i lose data , i just want my phone to WORK! I've flashed a clean recovery.img but whenever i try to access recovery , it brings me back to that screen with the red words. In addition , my phone is rogers so i can't even find a correct RUU to install. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my phone to work again ? Any help is greatly welcomed !
P.S Wow i think it got worse , now it doesnt even loop again , it goes start into that menu bootloader, reboot , power down.. Omg i spent 5 hours looking into this. I NEED HELP!

..... It says that on every One X, it's HTC telling whoever turns the phone on that you used HTCDev.com
Make Sure you have TWRP (recovery) flashed/installed ... then in the bootloader go into recovery and flash cm10 ... and since you probably have the newer hboot 1.14 that means that you HAVE to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot
Which is simple,
flash cm10
then reboot into the bootloader > fastboot
extract the boot.img from the cm10.zip
and fastboot flash boot boot.img
then your done reboot and enjoy.... (anything else read threw the forum, all your answers have been asked by somebody else already)
On rogers he won't have the 1.14 hboot, which means all he has to do is install the rom.
Try flashing the recovery again (TWRP ONLY!)
And then reinstall CM10

That might be your problem. CWM isn't supported for this phone and has been known to corrupt data.
Links for all the files you need are in a sticky in the Development forum. Here's the link for TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Once you've got that, you can wipe your phone inside TWRP (don't do it in bootloader--you'll have to reformat your sd card), and reflash CM10.
That link requires me to use that GOO manager? Confused lol i have TWRP on my computer but not sure the steps to use it ..

You can't use Goomanager if the phone doesn't boot. You need to push it over to your phone using adb, then you can flash it from recovery.

Read up, get adb working. Then you can install TWRP using adb.
So first i need to get adb working , then install TWRP to wipe my phone? To access that i flash TWRP and go into recovery right ?
EDIT: So .. i've downloaded that adb , and i got a bunch of files.. what do i do with this? I put them into my fastboot folder in my C drive.. Also i need to unlock my phone to do this right ? Cause i accidently relocked it .
EDIT: OKAY i rooted my phone , and got into TWRP , tried a factory rest under the wipe menu. http://i48.tinypic.com/13yklep.jpg It says fails.. what do i do ?

The Rogers HTC One X IS a HTC One XL. Rogers just branded it. The OneX has the Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor, the One XL has the S4 Dual Core Processor. Your phone is the same as the ATT Version. Trust me

omfg it works ty so much!
No problem. Just be glad you didn't flash an international Rom. They can render your device completely unusable. Remember only flash things from this forum and enjoy

[Q] S-OFF Facepalm help please

Hi all not too sure if I am doing this right but here goes (if not sorry).I tried to do the facepalm method a couple of times to get S-OFF with my one S (S4) I did the supercid, installed Recovery and placed a new rom on( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065357 ) all by using the AIO tool kit from this site. All upto date versions of drivers etc. I can get as far as point 5 on the Facepalm method and first time got “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)” which from what i can gather is correct. I then proceeded to the next stage which I then found I had not installed SU (Now this is where have a funny feeling where it went Pete Tong on me), so i installed SU then went back to point 6 which seemed to push all the files though fine but I had no S-OFF. So I scanned through the thread and found someone else with the same problem and they fixed it by installing VIPER 2.2 rom I think this is where thing really went wrong. After the rom installed it gave black screen of death but after some faffing I got it to the dead android with the red triangle and the exclamation inside it screen abd it got stuck rebooting like that for a while. I managed (After 6 hrs+) to install a RUU 3.15 EU stock rom and started from scratch again with the original rom that I used (see link above) now I all get is the 99 error (I now have SU and rooted) so any thought (apologies for spelling and grammar I know how you like that)
Hboot version 2.15 or 2.13 (can remember which can get into bootloader if you really need it to be exact)
Recovery is TWRP 2.4.4.0
Hope you can help
thanks in advance
U sure the 'black screen of death' wasn't the stock recovery? That's how it looks triangle with exclamation mark inside
Can't figure out what your problem is try going onto their chat thing and asking the dev for help but before you do...
Do u flash super su in recovery or install from play store? I have a habit to flash it in recovery because a lot of the time it didn't work for me when I installed it from the play store
Also ones you super CID reboot your phone 3 times, I had a problem when after SuperCID I had no CID and jcase told me to reboot a few times then it worked

I think it was stock recovery but it just didn't like the Viper Rom i think when I check the CID it is 1111111 so I know that has worked and I installed SU in the recovery. Oh and was my "windows" take on the black screen of death yes it was the recovery screen but it still took 6 hrs plus to get it from that screen and back to booting normally sorry thought I made sense my bad

Dude you don't flash a custom rom in stock recovery the stock recovery is used for flashing official ota's
Download twrp 2.3.3 (nothing higher) and flash it to the phone by going into hboot
And on computer type
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery. Img"
Then boot Into recovery and flash Viper
U need to read properly... Don't do it if u don't know what your doing you can very easily brick your device..
Sorry mate I think I either wrote it wrong or you misread somewhere I have unlocked a fair few phones I didn't flash the custom Rom through stock. After the soft brick with the viper Rom I put an ruu 3.15 on then went through all the aio tool kit from scratch again my bad for not explaining properly I am not that dumb ha ha cheers for the reply though

I'm pretty sure that the 99 error means you have to do a proper reboot. Turn off fastboot in the power settings, turn off the phone, turn it on again to the OS. Make sure the phone is rooted, make sure you have custom recovery. Go through the S-OFF procedure again.
Edit: ALSO WIPE YOUR CACHE IN RECOVERY!
