hello,
i completed part 1 of root some time ago (i can run wireless tether no problem), and im trying to unlock nand (full root). i flash mtd-eng.img without a problem and when i reboot into stock recovery with PC36IMG.zip on the root of my sdcard (i have tried two different mirrors) i have a problem. the recovery sees the file and there's a blue status bar in the upper right which goes to 100% and then it briefly says something like checking or verifying, then just returns to the stock recovery menu and never does anything like flash the image or tell me to reboot. so, this has apparently failed because when i try the next step of flashing the recovery image i get a bunch of errors.
does someone know what is going wrong? apparently im an idiot or the idiot proof guide isn't so idiot proof.
Are you using the same PC36IMG.zip from part 1?
No, I'm using the joey one from the 2nd toast post and the mirror from that same post, the first reply. Tried both, both do the same thing.
When I rooted my dad's phone, I did part 1 and part 2 together on toast's method. After I completed part 1, it said to rename the PC36img file. I'm not sure if you renamed it or not, just throwing it out there. Part 2 has the engPC36img file. Two different zip files.
Sounds like you missed a step, same thing happened to me. I recommend C&P the commands from the guides. If its still giving you problems try starting over from part 1 then continue to part 2.
help with pc36img.zip
hi guys im new to root, roms etc.... ive gotten my self into a bad situation...
i rooted using unrevoked because first thing i saw on youtube... sorry. now i did the pc36.img and it updated but said no image or wrong image and my phone is stuck all it does just go back to boot loader and if i go to recovery do to a nand restore it says error opening directory... could some please help me out. i beg you...
Hey guys! I have no idea where to post, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong section.
I'm very new to rooting and I've seem to come into a major problem. (Atleast in my eyes.) To start off I had gotten my HTC Evo 4g & used the method of UNRevoked to root my Evo. I then found out UNRevoked isn't a full nand unlock & all the nitty gritty, so I came upon Toastcfh's guide to rooting the Evo. I performed half the instructions as told and was then in this boot loop. Right before it happened I (think) I erased the Dalvik Cache, but I definitely hard formatted the whole phone/cache. Anyway as told in the instructions I was suppose to flash the PC36IMG.zip to my phone and I did. Once that all configured it rebooted on itself & now the phone is stuck in boot with stock recovery method. I can load into HBOOT and see that in green lettering it says: SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-0.79.0000, TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab, RADIO-1.39.00.04.26. Please help me. I havent used my phone for a whole day now. :\
To add: Before the PC36IMG.zip got added on my phone, I had clockwork mod recovery. Now I have the stock one I'm guessing. I have tried a stock RUU through HBOOT USB, but the RUU either says some error my phone battery is under 30% (when it's fully charged). Or the RUU will say waiting for device to connect. & I tried putting a rom on my sd card then flashing or whatever and my computer wont open my sd card unless, I put it in the disk reader. Please ask questions, I'll answer as best as I can...thanks!
The current Unrevoked does in fact unlock nand, so you should have stopped there. I am not familiar with Toast's rooting method, so I can't say for certain what happened. The good news is, you are probably fine, you just need to reflash a rom. Since you can't get into recovery, the best way to fix this is to flash a rooted stock pc36img from your hboot. Download the file from THIS THREAD, rename it to pc36img, put it on your sd card and boot into hboot. It will find it automatically and then it will take a few minutes to load it. Once it's loaded it will ask if you want to run the update, choose yes and let it do its thing. When it's done you will have the latest rooted stock rom on there and clockwork recovery. Make sure you delete the old pc36img off your sd card before doing this. Good luck and godspeed.
Did what u said there MetalHead. still getting boot loops at the white htc evo 4g screen and can not get into recovery. Do you have anymore suggestions?
I would try it again but use this PC36IMG.zip instead.

This one is completely stock. You will be unrooted after running it, so you will have to root again.

My EVO keeps on going into recovery mode with red triangle on it. I have tried to push the adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard but when the phone reads the zip it keeps on failing with these errors radio_vz fail bootloader fail-ic , image check fail and update fail!..
I have also tried to run RUU but it keeps on giving me usb connection errors. What do I need to do get my phone up and running
hello and welcome to the forums.
What method of rooting are you using?
At what stage are you getting to that you are at this point?
additionally it is helpful for posters to post in the section that best fits there post in this case Q&A. this si so it keeps things easy to read and find which you will quickly find can be a task all its own as you root and start playing around. it isn't a huge deal that you posted wrong though you may get a few nasty remarks for it just dont let them get to you and in the future try post questions there.
lastly if you hold the vol up button and power when at the red ! does it do anything for you?
I followed this article
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 basically the root didnot go through sucessfully and phone keeps on going into the recovery mode.
Now I am trying to get my phone up and running , apparently something went wrong with the script posted in the forum.
This has turned out to be a quite an adventure for me . The process failed at step 7 and it never worked from that step.

Don't worry. We've all had our bad rooting experiences. You're in good hands here. I'd recommend posting in the Q&A section because there will be a lot of people that can help you there (especially when it gets buisy later tonight). Breathe, you haven't bricked or destroyed your phone. You're no where close to in trouble
Are you S-off? If so sounds like your recovery didnt flash correctly.
You can try flashing a new recovery. Then if thats good just get superuser and busybox installed once your up and running.

FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to. It installs amon_ra 2.2.1
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

It sounds like it never flashed the rom & recovery. Could you attach the autorootlog file to a post so I can see where it went wrong?
Since you are already showing s-off it will be an easy fix. It would be better to run the RUU, for a clean flash, then running autoroot again where it will see you are s-off and finish, but you could also use the flash recovery tool in the post below to simply install a recovery.

smartguy10,
Could you please send me the autoroot log file that was made so I can find out what went wrong and possibly fix it?
I looked at the autoroot folder and didnot find autoroot file. Before I use your script again what precautions I should take again. If you look at the error messages it looked again the flash didn't finish completely.
Is there a way that I can back up my stock rom to sd card and restore it again if something goes wrong.
How's it goin'. Not my first time rooting, as I had the Hero and rooted a few other phones back in the day..
Just got the EVO in today, and decided to use the Auto-Root method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
Everything was going well, the program was going through all the motions, and then my dog jumped up and knocked over the laptop, I guess killing the connection to the AutoRoot.bat. I can repeatedly get it to go back through the motions of flashing the PC36IMG file, (Step 7) but after it tries and boot in to Recovery, it just hangs at the triangle screen. I can still get bootloader to show up, but I'm all out of ideas here. I'd GREATLY appreciate if someone could throw a few ideas out this way. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure youdidnt get the recovery to get installed are you rooted? If yes you can download superuser and download manager and get the recovery from there, if your not complete rooted get zroot to perm root and try it

Ok, i have an htc evo 4g, and its updated to android 2.3.3
Then i rooted it and i was messing around with the awesome power of root.
I installed the MIUI rom.
Then i started to delete things from this list of stuff on file explorer. It was all in misc.
I think i may have deleted something important.
So now im trying to get a different rom, and when i go to recovery mode, it basically goes to fastboot and i get another list of things, BUT im not getting the usual root screen with things that allow me to install zip folders and stuff like that.
So now im stuck and i dont know how to go back to my orignal settings or even how to install another rom.
Does anyone know how to fix this??? PLEASE?!!
oh and it says -revolutionary- at the top of the screen when i turn my phone on and hold the vol. button down. if that helps.
Please?!?!?!
Sounds like your recovery for screwed up, you probably need to have the pc36img on your sd card to reflash it through the bootloader
We're comin from a pure power source.

Ok,download a recovery image.. TWRP or some other recovery image,then name it to PC36IMG and drop it on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader again and it will ask you if you want to install,hit the volume up to install and volume down,so you dont reboot,then go into recovery and wipe and reinstall a rom,thats it you should be good to go now.
Im having a similar problem. I messed up my backup and was trying to unroot and go back to stock to start over.
I flashed RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
and did a wipe but i missed a step. the un-root step. and I cant flash a zip threw recover because i just get an error message when i try to boot to recover.
I can get into revolutionary but that is it. can i unroot from there by downloading
unrevoked-forever-son.zip Rename it PC36IMG and try to just update???? or will that make it a brick?
Btw i have name NO official updates since re flashing stock ROM.
Nvm i fixed it. Got ahead of my self and posted
