Restored from a backup on newly half-rooted Shift - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got into a tiffy...and Im in fear I may have bricked my phone with a boot loop.
Somehow my shift installled ROM manager in process. It is acting as if I am getting SU .. I had "temproot" though I guess i screwed it. I'm going to try to jump on a PC if I can to get this all running. We'll see (osx snow leopard here).
HBOOT screen:
Speedy XE SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.98.0001
RADIO-1.08.00.0506
eMMC-boot
My phone came with it like this. gahhh is this still true?
I cannot use the recovery either.
Help!

If your HBoot is 0.98.0001 with " S-On " your going to have to start the whole Root process over. Check THIS thread. Watch the Videos, and Read the Info. It's all fairly straight forward. The biggest thing is to take your time, and make sure you do the process correctly. I would suggest watching the Videos several times. Also reading the Instructions several times before you start.

Good News *
looks like I was able to make a Nandroid backup of an unrooted Shift I still have that was unrooted. After much trial and error I was able to Restore from a backup. However, the HBoot was HBOOT-0.93.0001 on the other model, the newer one is HBOOT-0.98.0001.
One problem, now the wifi does not work, probably due to the HBoot.
I think a previous user left ROM Manager on it which is how this all happened that a another user tried installing and made it all messed up, somehow CWM 5.8.1.6 was installed already. I was getting ready to install 5.0.2.0 onto it. Now I am trying to recover this persons errors. Funny.
Any of the obvious methods of running a "Back to Stock" routine or using RUU was not working whatsoever since the HBoot was different.
Basically troubleshooting at this point. No idea what to do. I am calling CREDO to see if they can help me update my radios but i am betting i'll probably just get another phone from them. This may be the end of my Shifting since i'll be upgrading to something in the next few months..hopefully htc will save me somewhere, but samsung may be where I land next.
LASTLY :: I found the RUU HERE..but it gave me the same error... "Customer ID Failed"
man.... what a pain in the arse. Guess I'll be getting another shifty from them soon, unless anyone else has any brighter ideas.

So are you saying the 2.2 RUU ran all the way through ? The "Customer ID Failed" is when you boot up ?

RUU ran through but stopped at customer ID, I tried running through bootloader, running the original back to stock 2.2 Froyo, and none of this is working. The phone came with Froyo 2.2. I also tried removing the boot.img from newSENSE in a zip and placed that on the SDCard during another reinstallation of the zip, and none of that seemed to work. I feel like I have tried virtually everyhting and nothing is seeming to work.
I think I am almost figuring out how to crack this new egg, but no idea what's up with it.

If you got it booted but wifi isn't working, that means in system/lib/modules the modules are not matching the boot.img and will throw a WiFi error everytime

Push either the modules folder from the ROM your on now, or reflash the boot.img again. It depends on where you are at now

Yeah you will need the modules from the boot.img your running. So say you were on newSense while being s-on unlocked and wifi was working, and then you decided you wanted to run a new kernel so you fastboot flash a new boot.img, well when you boot in, the modules in system/lib/modules won't match the new kernel your running, so you have to grab the modules folder from the kernel and push them one at a time to be sure they all go to the right place. I don't remember all the modules names by memory(just know where they are in a ROM and after a compile) but ill give an example command to push a module with an easy module name my simple mind can remember. So place the modules in your platform-tools folder, plug your phone in on charge only and open a terminal to cd to platform-tools then enter these commands*
adb remount
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules (tun.ko and cifs.ko are not used in every kerenel)
adb push *the rest of the modules* /system/lib/modules
adb reboot
We are trying to get you on the right page, but on the weekends I dedicate all my free time to my family, and don't mess with xda or anything untill Sundays

Yes, i ran it in recovery. it acted like it pushed, and probably did, but did not work. it is what it is :\
Basically it ended up being some weird halfroot that seemed it had no way on getting it to work . somehow the hardware was flashed earlier on before.
I had it and had the newer CWM, I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
Well, thanks all for the help!

Having a hard time rooting!

Ive tried both methods super one click and the manual one! and they still dnt work out for me. Is there a rom that will root your inspire and install custom roms like the one on the atrix(gingerblur)??

Rooting
I tried the one click rooting and got left hanging with no sound on 4 occasions - I could never get it to work after the rage installation phase. I had s-off , but couldn't get root. Since I now was getting desperate, I used the hack kit and followed the unzipped instructions in the extracted folder. I had to get and load adb on my ubuntu pc to install Visionary on my inspire after that it was easy. I loaded Revolution rom and am happy with it. I'm a complete noob and have had my inspire only 3 weeks and have no other android experience. If I can do it, so can you.

I've had two inspires already and used both methods (one on each phone). They have both worked for me. You have to root in order to have custom roms. Have you followed the instructions to a T? What are you getting stuck on?

Thanks for the quick replies guys! The inspire is my mom's and shes been having problems with it regarding the sd card unmounting by itself, getting stuck in landscape mode and etc... and i myself own the atrix and so im not that familiar with the inspire
The part where i get stuck at is when i put in the command "hackerize-ace install-downgrade" after i put in those commands and press enter, it says not installed, what am i doing wrong?
Edit: when i try the one click method, the part where i get stuck is at hboot, it doesnt seem to find any images it constantly say "no image, wrong image"
anyone know how to fix this?

Make sure that you have the HTC drivers installed correctly. If you don't your computer cannot communicate with your device to push the downgrade rom to your phone. It doesn't matter which method you are using if the drivers are not installed correctly they both will not function correctly.

Ok I am pretty busy this weekend, how ever below is a few files for you guys. I know some doesn't belong here but since I nabbed them I figured I would throw them in the post also. Now since I am not familiar with the process of flash recovery with the htc unlock. If someone would be kind enough to post the commands, it would save me some time. How ever be warned this does not have the wimax stuff in it. As it has been a good while since I played with a shift 4g. In turn I almost forgot all about the wimax stuff.
Any way here goes.

I have no idea if it will work, but don't see why it won't at least boot. Since I don't know what issues you guys had to begin with. Not sure what the recovery may have issue wise. Let me know if it boots and if keys are mapped correct. Functions you can test though be warned to do so at your own risk.

[Q] Where to Access Hasoon2000 S-Off Tool?

I've spent hours searching for how to S-Off my device. I've been running CM 9 and then 10, but it seems like my problem with 10.1 is S-on.
Most searches come to someone recommending Hasoon2000s S-Off tool, and linking to the original thread at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696373&highlight=s+off
The problem is that the link in that original thread to download the S-Off Tool is no longer there. I've looked through Hasoon2000s other downloads, and while there is the all-in-one toolkit 2.0, there doesn't seem to be a way to do S-Off in that kit.
I'll probably settle for JuopunutBear's solution, but since everywhere I go people are swearing by Hasoon2000s, (and I used the all-in-one toolkit with great success), does anyone have any new direction to track down a downloadable version of the S-Off tool, or a way to access it, or is JuopunutBear's all that is left for some reason? I haven't found any posts saying why Hasoon2000's has been pulled?
Thanks!
If I were you I would stay away from toolkits altogether. Not because they are bad, only because you learn absolutely nothing from using them and usually come bomb the threads when **** hits the fan.
The wire trick is a fun little task to handle though so everything should be okay that way.

Thanks for your help I appreciate it- That was the same place linked to above.
Thats his toolkit 2.0 which I used to unlock my phone, but it doesn't give the phone S-Off (or atleast I couldnt find a way to do it in the toolkit)
His S-Off toolkit can't be found anymore on the otherhand, and I've searched in depth. I've been trying for at least 6-8 hours to get S-Off. Now I have a semi-bricked phone. Every path I go down is a dead end and its driving me nuts!
I was going to try the wire trick, but it requires stock rom. I had backed up the stock rom but it won't load. I downloaded 2 PD15IMG.zip files but neither of them will load, recovery says "Bad" when I try to run the .zip files. Did a little research. I think I need to do it via fastboot for the PD15IMG.zip files. Trying to figure that out now. Warnings seem pretty dire about trying to do it on a non-stock rom
This is getting above my head but I'm working my best to figure it out. Worst comes to worse I'll just have to order a new phone! I hate to be the novice that ends up being a PITA, as I've dealt with them plenty on the car forums I'm active on. I'd like to apologize up front for being "that guy".

I was able to reflash a version of CM10 I was using for a while and that works, but I can't find a stock one that will work. I've tried multiple, and they all give me "bad" error and don't finish the install.
I was going to try a different version of CM10, 10.1, or go to a stable release of 9. If none of those worked, I'd be happier with stock. None of the ones I've tried will work, but I'm assuming thats because I'm S-On, but since I can't find hasoon2000s S-Off tool everyone was raving about, and the wire trick requires stock ROM based on what the directions say, I find myself in a pickle.
The CM10 version I have can't do some basic things I need for work- like sync with my bluetooth in the car or not randomly freeze up during the day without me knowing it sending all my calls to voicemail. I tried versions of the others that other people are using (like silverL's 10.1 and the CM-listed stable CM9) and neither would load.
Do I have a different issue? AKA are other people with S-On able to load those Roms? I can try miktouch too.

Also trying to load via fastboot and I'm getting this error:
"Whoops: didn't find expected signature
read_central_directory_entry_failed
error: failed to access zipdata in [Whole bunch of non-english characters taking up a few lines]"
----
Update: Just to clarify, when I try to install a stock rom it gives me "Can't open [filename] (bad)
However, when I try to install the CM's, it installs fine and says "Install from sdcard complete" they just won't load when I restart my phone, except for the original version of CM10. (for example, in all the 10.1s I've tried I get "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" but the intro page will load. I figured that came down to an S-On issue when I tried to troubleshoot.
Any rom that is based off stock (like miktouch) should work to do the wire trick. I would check md5sums of the roms that won't flash to make sure they aren't corrupt at all. Also some say the latest twrp (and maybe other recoveries) won't flash some roms, so may need to change that as well

negative.
miktouch would go through the install process, and end at the Tmobile mytouch 4g slide screen forever. I know on one install it took a long time to "load" the first time so I left it on this screen for about 15 minutes to no avail. Let me know if there is any chance of it taking longer than that. Reinstalls were the same story.
I got CM9.1 to install by installing it twice on top of itself (not sure why that fixes it) but it was a tiny bit buggy.
Is there any chance this could be bootloader related or recovery related? I can try to reload those too. grrr...
Its possible but if your bootloader can boot up one ROM it should be able to boot another. For this phone the only reason I have seen to change bootloaders is to unlock all the fastboot options. Flashing a new bootloader would reformat your partitions which may be the cause of your issue. Make sure you do a full wipe from recovery or fastboot -w or use a superwipe script, hell I tend to do all three between flashes but I'm kinda ocd when it comes to this, I hate debugging issues caused by residual effect from old data left after a dirty flash
But it may be worth it to flash a new recovery, not sure what you are using now but sometimes one will work when another doesn't, this would probably be my next step

You should try CWM 5.0.2.7. Also, since you are S-On you should extract the boot.img from Miktouch and flash it from fastboot, separately from the ROM. Since you have been on an ICS/Jellybean rom, I have to believe your original boot.img was replaced at some point. This is the only way to get back the Gingerbread boot.img. I am not savvy enough to know if this file is the bootloader or the kernel, but this process should get you back to stock-enough to do the wire trick.
Sent from my SGH-T699 using xda app-developers app
It's the kernel.....the boot.img file, I mean. The bootloader is that mostly white screen you see with "Hboot" at the top that will have "S-On" or "S-Off" after the word Radio. Good response.:good:

Load the pd15img.zip on your sd card and boot to your bootloader. It should detect the file on your card and ask if you want to flash it. Just follow the directiins it gives you
Edit: actually should be pd59img not 15

[Q] Stuck in Clockwork

hello to all, i was given this phone by a friend cuz its stuck in CWM. im not new to android but i am to this phone( i have a G2x wich was easier by far to figure out). anyways after much searching in these forums i couldnt find anything to do with this problem so here it is.
I am stuck in CWM. i try to flash a rom( i have tried multiple times with different roms) and i get an error 7. does anyone one know what that means, and if so how do i fix it?
ive been trying to re root or revert to stock but adb must have been disabled and or debugging. any help would be awesome. for now ill keep searching and trying to get adb up and going...
i wonder if having lg drivers for my g2x on my comp would mess with adb....
any comments and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
lmao your lucky your friend never heard of google, but I guess you haven't either haha. Anyway, you need to download a new rom and flash because the one on your sdcard is corrupt
Yup more than likely a bad download or possibly a corrupt partition of sdcard, reformat card, redownload rom, check md5sums
Nope having lg drivers won't effect this phone, but not having the right drivers for this phone is probably why adb doesn't work
Also the g2x is kinda fake rooting funky business, as you found this phone is much different. I would suggest booting into hboot and checking what bootloader you have and if the security flags are still on or not, can make a difference when flashing a rom.

Lol. Seriously dude. I'm not a noob at flashing Roms. I have tried to flash at least 6 different Roms all ending up with error 7. I'm brand new to this phone so treat me like I need a step by step, but don't be condescending plz.

Yup more than likely a bad download or possibly a corrupt partition of sdcard, reformat card, redownload rom, check md5sums
Nope having lg drivers won't effect this phone, but not having the right drivers for this phone is probably why adb doesn't work
Also the g2x is kinda fake rooting funky business, as you found this phone is much different. I would suggest booting into hboot and checking what bootloader you have and if the security flags are still on or not, can make a difference when flashing a rom.
Probably worth your while to read through the stickies and search the forum a bit too
Im gonna have to read the stickies. im gonna have to read the whole forum....dont let the g2xers hear you say its fake flashing lol. first order of buisness is figuring out how to get into this hboot you speak of. everytime i trun the phone on it hits lg splash and then goes straight to cwm

In my signature you'll see a "Mirrors" link. Go there and at the bottom of Post #1 you'll see HTCdrivers.exe. Grab them & load 'em up. ADB should work for you then. Then issue "adb reboot recovery" from a cmd line and when there go to "mounts & storage" & activate. Copy the ROM you want to your SD card while retaining your boot.img in your ADB folder. Wipe Dalvik twice. format cache & then factory reset. Format system then under "mounts & storage". After ROM has flashed from .zip in CWM leave it there and issue "fastboot flash boot boot.img" fom ADB. Reboot & let it settle. Should work.
Don't turn your phone on.....go to HBoot by holding volume down & power at the same time & bypass boot sequence..
I should also mention the reason why this phone is messed up like it is. It was rooted running a custom Roman and then the previous owner did and total. Is that gonna matter much?

I don't think I understand.

Sounds like maybe he was flashing while unlocked with the kernel going in seperately. Your HBoot will tell you that if it says "S-On".
All that aside, XMC is right though. Somehow your ROM is corrupt.
Sorry my typing sucks. The previous owner did an OTA update. i try to get to hboot but it goes straight to cwm. downloaded the drivers from the link provided even...still no adb devices listed in the device manager or when i type in "adb devices" command. if i can get adb working i can get this all fixed, but ill be a raped ape if i knew what the hell happened to this phone.

Thats where your issues are coming from then. You probably have the ....1313 bootloader with S-On. Reread all your responses here & it should get you there.
Well I wouldn't be the first to say that about the g2x, a friend of mine has one and I needed to root it for him, kinda laughed as I read through the forum on how everything is done there, not saying devs aren't talented just saying the phone is well... I don't know how to say it politely so I just won't
Boot into your bootloader and write down everything on that screen here so we can help, if you get adb running just type
adb reboot bootloader
If not power on while holding volume down and you'll get there
My guess is the phone is s-on and the bootloader was at one point unlocked, glad you still have a recovery though, I warned people about this type of stuff before... not to say that I warned you or your friend, just feels as if people believe me some times
Read last post on page 4 some info about your situation, hell skim the whole thread to understand a bit more about htc phones

got adb working...well, adb recognizes a device.....it give me no name just a string of numbers and letters
i followed your instructions to the T. got as far as flashing the rom...error 7 again(big suprise lol)after said error, flashing boot.img doesnt work terminal hangs at waiting for device.
In case your wondering what comes before the error 7....here is:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device)=="doubleshot"
E:Error in /sdcard/mikTouch.zip
(Status 7)
String of numbers is your phone, that's normal
Flashing boot.img is done through fastboot not adb, did you ever make it into your bootloader? It may help if you do and write down everything here.

Your gonna laugh at me. Idk what happened, but cwm is gone now. Device isn't recognized by the computer.

Pull your battery for 15 seconds then pop it back in. Then hold volume down + power & make sure your usb cord isn't plugged in or it will just start booting. That will take you to your bootloader. Write all that down the use volume down to navigate to the "recovey" option. Use power button to select it. From recovey's initial screen use trackpad to to get to the "install from .zip". Next screen select ".zip location" (or something like that). Trackpad down to the ROM.zip file & select. Install. After done...."fastboot flash boot boot.img" then reboot. Let it settle for 5 minutes.

You get an LG splash??? The MyTouch 4G Slide is made by HTC, not LG. If you get an LG splash, either you have a different MyTouch phone, or something is seriously wrong.

Nice catch Fuzi! That passed right on over my head. Unless the guy before changed the splash screen this is a big UH-OH!!

Wow didn't even see that!
Yeah if the phone you have in your hands is made by lg then that's your issue, you have a my touch q or something, this forum is for the HTC made mytouch 4 g slide. If this is the case it makes a whole lot of sense your errors when flashing, not being able to get into bootloader, etc.
The old good news would be you probably didn't brake anything, just find the right forum, put it into download mode and restore with some kinda lg stock thing.

[Q] Need some help/info please (Installing CM10)

I've got an AT&T HTC One, I rooted it and installed TWRP and haven't had the down time to do much else with it, including installing a rom yet.
I don't mind the oem ATT rom but I do need the Hotspot feature to work for my wifi tablet.
I've tried to turn on the hotspot feature with a couple scripts I've found on XDA but none of them seem to work so I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to change rom to be able to use the hotspot so this morning I Downloaded CM10 and placed it on the "SDcard" of my phone. I then tried to install it with TWRP. everything goes well half way through the install and then it hangs up about 60% through, it eventually seems to time out after like 15-20 minutes of not doing anything.
I then reboot it and all I get is an infinite animated CM boot logo.... I let it sit for an hour just to make sure it wasn't just a slow install.
I reinstalled it three times and the outcome was the same each time so I tried to ADB sideload it with the same outcome.
I even went on CM's site and downloaded another copy of CM10 but it made no difference.
I ended up having to reinstall the backup I made prior to starting this so I had my phone as I needed to go run some errands.
Does anyone know why I had the issues I was having with installing CM10?
Something I did wrong? How do I get CM to install?
Thanks

What hboot? You may have to flash boot image separately in adb or s-off.

I don't do much of this stuff so I am not entirely sure how to flash the boot image separately in adb.
I didn't think there was a way to s-off the HOX.
Thanks for the reply

On 1.14 the boot image needs to be flashed separately. Flash from fastboot..
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot image is inside the Rom.zip your flashing. Keep a copy of the Rom on pc and extract files with winzip or whatever you like to use. But boot.img in adb folder and type the command, reboot and it should boot.
S-off can be done but only on a sense based Rom like viperXL.
Also read the stickies... They are there for a reason..

This is not true. I s-off'd with cm10. Though you need to enable ADB root in settings for it to work.

Make sure you're using the cm 10 for one xl (evita) and not the one x.

I'll check out the links, thanks.
I can see allot has changed since December when I last messed with the phone. Back in December Clockwork recovery wasn't supported on the ATT version of the HOX. I see it now is in a touch version.
apparently I am doing something wrong as I keep getting the same indefinite CM boot logo and can't get past it. It appears I do not fully understand the process to side load the rom.
With that said, I restored it from a backup and I guess I'll just wait until I can confidently install a rom. This phone is so much different then my previous phones and tabs in regards to how it was unlocked and the install of different roms. I didn't have any problem figuring those out but this one has more steps involved which is aiding to my confusion. Maybe I'll find a step by step for my Hboot that I can follow, in the meantime I'll just keep having to look for free wifi for my tablet while I'm out and about.
You'd think there would be an easier way to enable the wifi hotspot on the phone.... LoL
Thanks for the info guys.....truly appreciated.
