EVO Shift Root gone wrong - I really need help please.

I tried the one click root method (Shift Root and Recovery) and got the clockwork recovery installed. I put the cyanogen 7 on the sd card and it seemed to take alright, but now all I get is the HTC splash screen when I reboot. I can get back to recovery and mount the SD card, but nothing else. My SD card did not have the update.zip file. I thought that is what the cyanogen file was for, but now I think I screwed up.
Can anyone help? Have I permenantly killed my phone?

I can go into recovery. I did not do a nano backup. I backed up my wimax. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

I followed the Shift root and recovery steps. It said back up your data... It was supposed to be a one-click root.

Well as a precaution you should always back up your data, just for that "what if" moment that happens every now and again.

Try posting in the shift forum ?

Wow! So, you did not back up your existing ROM, eh?
I will move your thread to the Evo fora so they can help you...

Moving an EVO shift problem to the EVO SuperSonic forum probably isn't going to help MOD.

yea what arnezie said! ^^^
it might be better to follow the Evo Shift forums and ask in there...considering they use the Shift there
heres a link to the rooting thread for the Shift...i suggest either making a new thread in the General area there or post in this thread:

Maybe he moved it here because we are more experienced lol? Either way to op, if you can boot into recovery, put a rom on an extra sdcard and flash off that. Problem solved.

That's what I would like to do, but apparently the rom I am using is not working. Where can I find a different one that will work? When I do the "install zip from sd card in clockwork i don't get any error, but when I reboot it's back to the htc screen... Does it matter that I didn't have an update.zip file? I selected the zip file (cyanogen 7) from the sd card... Is that the same thing?

If you could just direct me to the right place that would be great. I cannot move the thread because I am too new. It would have to be moved by someone with that ability. Thanks to anyone that will lend a hand.

Alright put the cm7 file on ur sdcard then go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset then clear cache and go to advance and clear dalvik cache then go to install zip from SD card option and pick cm7

I tried that and end up in the same place. It flashes the rom awfully quick. Like within 30 seconds. Its like an 80MB file. It doesn't give an error, but I suspect it isn't taking...

That seems right like the right time it takes to flash ....so it didn't work?

Try flashing one that's closer to the original rom. Here are a few.

Are you flashing a nightly (104-108) or cyanogen stable?

i was trying the latest stable version. Getting ready to try an older version. Does anyone know if my better is still charging during bootloader and recovery? Getting nervous that the battery may get too low. Is there a way to get battery status?

I have a question.
I have t-mobile one s running vipers 2.0.0 rom. Im on hboot 1.14 so my wifi doesnt work. I already brick one phone trying to fix it by downgrade, so I dont think I will try to downgrade on this one.
Is there a safe way to fix this? Or I have to wait for USA OTA with jellybean?

Did you S-off after doing SuperCID, or was it S-off to begin with (from the factory)?

Arguably, this belongs here, because I think it's a question: Why did it work on his phone and fail on so many others?

It was previously in original android development.

This phone is fully stock from AT&T with S-ON. It has not been rooted yet. I have been lagging on pushing the unlock.bin and installing twrp and pushing super user. Only because I have had some messed up luck the last couple days....lol I might try to do it tonight and report back. I just dont wanna lose the touch screen because of hboot 2.14. I have everything downloaded and all the threads on how to s-off my phone and down grade my touch software.

OTA & ROM. Help Please...?

Some background info:
Nexus 5
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP
Running Purity Rom
I have been running this Rom for about 2 months with no major issues. Now I am being prompted to do an OTA to 4.4.3. If I was stock that would be normal and expected but I am not sure what to do in my situation. I can not stop the prompt, I clear it from my notification window and it just appears back in 10 seconds or so.
I have tried to figure it out but cant find anything on the Purity thread, and I cant post my question there because I don't have 10 posts...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this answer is in a million places and I didn't see it.

Do not accept the OTA. Flash another rom if you want rid of the notification

With that being said, Is it even possible to update the ROM I'm currently using without doing a wipe. They have released a few new versions since I flashed.

I use cataclysm and I don't want to switch roms. Does any one know how to remove the update notification? I've never had arom ask me to install it before

I am in a pretty similar situation. At this point I'm happy with the stability and performance of the build I'm on. Upgrading to 4.3.3 isn't a huge concern at this moment. I just don't have the time to reconfigure all applications and settings if I have to do a wipe.

Figured out I out if you disable viewing notifications from the Google play services app the notification will go away.

Reading Puritys thread, you can dirty flash it, but do it at your own risk. I read quite a bit of success doing it.
I run Purity 4.4.3 and it's really nice.
But like I said, either disable it if you don't care for the update, or try a dirty flash.
Or back everything up, and wipe, then flash and then restore.
But I take no responsibility for what may happen if you dirty flash, or anything.

I forgot to come back and update this thread. The issue for me was resolved by doing a dirty update, with no wipes at all. Obviously do a nandroid back up in your respective recovery first.

New OTA B0C4

Just did an OTA update to B0C4, it updated 303 apps...no other info out there on it.

Curious how battery life is on this 'new' build.

Here's Verizon's PDF http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-galaxy-s5-3-27-15.pdf Looks the same as the OA8 one except a different build number. Hopefully someone makes a rooted version similar to OA8 that we can use to upgrade too!

Can someone capture and post the update file for this OTA.
Edit: I captured the update.zip and will post it shortly.

Did upgrading let you keep root?

Upgrading will always kill root. Someone needs to capture the ota file so that myself or someone else can put together an update and keeproot method.

I simply let the update install as is. I thought that I would loose root but I figured I could get it back after a dev built a new kernel ODIN file for OC4. It turned out that root did not go away.
