[Solved] EVO SHIFT ROOT FAIL | PLEASE HELP!! Very COMPLICATED!! HELP!! [Solved] - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Evo Shift that was running Android 2.2, then I clockworked modded it and accidentaly applied the cyanogenmod update before S-OFF, it can go to the clockword recovery screen and all that, It just stays on white screen when i reboot.
*NO BACKUP* Please help!!!

Search for the 2.2 RUU and run it. Then you'll be back to stock where you can root using the shiftrr.exe, I would link you to the RUU but I've been sick in bed for about 4 days now

No need for RUU.
Boot cwm and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, format /system and /data and flash cm7 and gapps.

He doesn't have s-off so he can't flash cm7.. Or did you not need that part?

Yeah from the way I read it to seemed like he doesn't have s-off

I do not have S-OFF, what happened was I had Froyo 2.2, I temp rooted, downloaded Cyanogen mod whatever, got the clockwork recovery, and while in that accidentally Updated to Cyanogen, with no Backup, Now all it will let me to is the H-Boot screen (Fastboot, Recovery, etc.) and Clockwork recovery mode, it says i cant mount my SD and when it could it wouldnt let me update to froyo 2.2 saying its bad.

******************************************************EDIT**************************************EDIT****************************EDIT ************************** Also I tried the 2.2 RUU and it got stuck at 13%, I found a way around it( the way i downgraded the first time ), but I cant get the phone to work to do it again, as explained above.

Try maybe formating your sdcard.

Good idea, Do you think that would work?
****Edit!
It won't even mount it on phone, So it can't format and I don't know how to format it on the computer.
If I try to mount it, it says "Invalid Argument"
Error mounting SD Card

So where are you at? Does the phone Boot into Recovery? Did you finally get the RUU to run all the way through? Does the phone boot up like it normally would?

Well...

Okay, I can go to HBOOT screen (Where it list Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset, Etc.) It can boot into Clockwork recovery, and if it tries to boot normal, it stays at white HTC screen. Will not mount SD card, S-ON.
And No, the RUU will not run all the way through.

Did you get the RUU to run all the way through? So that you are " S-On " on Froyo 2.2. If you did then it is a simple matter of fully rooting the device to avoid this from happening again. You can use THIS to root if you are already on 2.2 .

Thank you,

Thank you, but I already have ShiftRR, thats how I clockworked mod it, It won't connect fully to the computer.
And No, The RUU didnt run all the way through. It stays at 13% [/RED]

I had to run the RUU in fastboot mode to get it to work for me
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Fastboot?
You had to run it in fastbook mode, and it worked? I tried that and it still got stuck on me.

That's really strange the ruu isn't working. I've used it before on windows 7 and it worked ok for me. Maybe your missing some drivers or something for your phone? I've never ran ruu from fastboot so I can't help you there. What version of windows are you running currently? Also what ruu are you using? Is it the 2.3.4 one?
If you need a link to it I've downloaded it from here and it works for me:

If you dont have to, do not update to the 2.3.4RUU . Running the RUU from fastboot is simple. Boot into HBoot, the choose fastboot. Connect the USB cord, it will say fastboot usb. Then just open and run the RUU from the desktop.

how did you fix it? Im stuck too. All I did was update Rom manager and CW. I then tried to restore a backup. Still stuck at HTC white screen. Pulled a battery and nothing
i'm guessing your rooted...?? Well from hboot select recovery and it should bring u to CWM recovery and from there just mount your sd card and load a new rom on and wipe EVERYTHING and flash it...you should be good

Thats really stupid. Had I known, I wouldnt have bothered updating. I dont see any difference except the fact I cant restore my old back ups.
Yep, same happened here. I was able to reload the fresh rom (in my case, SHIFTS3NS3 1.3), and I downgraded the CW to the prior version. But still cannot restore the latest, probably because it was created with latest release of CW. Going to try another previous restore that I know was created with the previous CW. If the latest CW is the problem, it should be removed!

Bricked, dead, whatever you call it.

Hey Guys,
I was deleting partitions on my old I4G and not paying attention whilst doing it.
I have managed to delete the system partition, and no cannot get passed the white boot screen. I tried to fix it with adb and fastboot, but just not sure what it is I need....recovery image, boot image?
If I do
Code:
adb shell
even that fails saying it cannot find sh
I have no problem getting my hand dirty, just need to know where to start.
Luckily this was an old phone so I can wait for sage advice.
Thanks all.
S-on or off?
I'm assuming off. Do you have a backup of your rom?

Adb reboot recovery from the splash screen

You're gonna have to re-flash your ROM... or a new ROM. Might I suggest LordClockaN's Ice Cold Sandwich.

Just so you know, your system partition is where your Rom is installed to. Can't just wipe it unless you're installing a new Rom. Follow teichopsia's guide as it has everything you need to know before diving into Rom flashing.

Can I install a boot.img within phone?

Hi everyone, I have S-on still, I am wondering if I can pull the boot.img from a kernel of a rom and move somewhere to my sdcard if I wanted to flash a rom that doesnt have this built in to it...the reason I am asking is because alot of downtime at work and sometimes I want to tinker with other roms, but since I have hboot 1.27 most of the roms need the boot.img pushed, and I cant install software to do this on my work computer....If it can be done on the phone by using ES file explorer or something similar, can someone guid me on where to put the boot.img...i believe on the root of sd?....just curious here....thanks much...Larry

if you use 4ext recovery with s-on smart flash enabled it will flash the bootimg after it installs the rom i believe, so no need to manually flash the boot img. is this what you mean?

Yes.. Wait for 10 minutes max.. If it's not booting then.. You need to flash boot.img of the rom seperately from fastboot but that process requires pc access.. Or try this.. If not booted.. Go to recovery again.. Then enable smartflash again and immediately flash the rom.. Without doing any wipe.. This might work

are you 100% sure smart flash is enabled? when you flash some roms like arhd it flashes a new 4ext as well i think.
if you do then im not 100% sure on how to proceed. have you thought about just going full s-off? once you have it you dont need to flash the bootimg afterwards

This is normal for Smart Flash, the device will boot to the splash screen then flash the boot.I mg then reboot again but all the way nto the ROM on the second reboot. Also I know you can flash splashscreens and recoveries via Terminal Emulator but I am not sure about the boot.img. From what I am do know about Android I am thinking you probably can not but it is worth a Google search.
Ok, so I downloaded the Elegancia Pegasus, I went into 4ext recovery, did a super wipe, turned on smart flash, installed the rom zip, did not reboot but enabled smart flash again, and then installed the rom again..(reason for this was I was thinking maybe it installed a new 4ext)..I really dont think it did though, but still stuck at the white htc screen...I may have to just do this from a computer...weird thing is that Elegancia sense 4.x 3.1.0 flashes just fine, but i imagine thats because that Boot.img is not getting written over by the pegasus one..any other ideas?...the ext recovery I am using is the stable most current release btw..thanks everyone...Dirtylarry

indeed, but he can do that at home with His pc then he will be able to flash any rom he likes without the need of smartflash. thus solving his problem and allowing him to flash roms at work when he has some spare time allowing he already has the roms with him, or he can still download

[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!
all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will
Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...

So it fails even when you try to wipe, that's interesting (also means my assumption was wrong).

I am having the same issue
hboot1.14.0002
radio 0.19as.32.09.11_2
I am unlocked/tampered but S-on.
I thought I made a back up of CleanRom5 when I first put it on the phone, but alas I find that I didnt.
So I am between roms with s-on. Is there a way to achieve S-off with. I can still get into bootloader, and recovery.

This seems to be a bug with 2.4.x.x versions of TWRP. If you downgrade to an old version, it should be OK, from what I've read.

I installed 2.3.3.0 and the factory reset still failed..?
errors given were E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
did you factory reset from bootloader if so you have corrupted your sd card there is a fix let me find it
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.
Freaked me out too man
this is not my post copy and paste
Thanks brother anyone else this may help
