Just like the title says. I've bricked my phone but I can't do a factory reset. It just stays on the htc EVO 4G logo on the white background. I really have no idea what I've done. If anyone can help me out, please do. I seriously need my phone.

 

1) You are rooted correct? (I would assume so based on the fact you posted in this section). Assuming so, what was your rooting method?
unrevoked 3
2) Have you flashed any ROMs/mods?
i tried but that's where the problem began. i put the PC36IMG.zip in the root of the sd card. it found it and but it failed to update a few of the things ultimately saying it failed to update.
3) Have you made any nandroid backups?
no
4) What recovery/version do you have?
i dont even know
5) If you turn the phone off (pull the battery if you have to), then turn it back on while pressing and holding the volume down button, can you get to hboot? It's a white screen with menu options.
yes i can
6) Assuming you can get to hboot, do you see S-OFF? That's what you want to see.
yes it's off
7) Assuming you were able to get to hboot, select the recovery option. Are you able to get to recovery?
no. i get a black screen with a red triangle and exclamation over a black little phone

i can't get into recovery either and clear storage doesnt work at all.

 

I tried doing that but it eeps saying my phone is under 30% battery life and i've charged it all night. the light was green this morning. no good with the ruu

 

these are a few things that look odd to me when it unzips the PC36IMG.zip.

BOOTLOADER - Bypassed

RADIO V2 - Fail-PU


Can not roll back hboot version

Partition update fail!
Update Fail!

 

os how can I remedy the problem?

 

I can't access my phone's main screen at all. It's set under charge only. I'll try that once my phone gets back to the way it was

 

I tried the usb toggle and i couldnt see what was inside my sd card. basically couldn't find the files inside my sdcard. I dont have a card reader for mini sd

 

I put it on the sd card.

This is what happened:
I went into recovery mode with the PC36IMG.zip on my sd card.
It found it and asked to update so I let it update.
Scroll up and you'll see some of the errors I got while updating, failed btw.
I tried to go into recovery mode to reset the phone, black screen red triangle.
I tried to clear the storage, htc evo 4g white screen on forever.

I just ran the ruu and i thought it didnt work but I tried it again while putting it under fastboot. solved my problem. Now I want to try to re-root it again but I'm not sure how to go about uninstalling everything from unrevoked 3. I can't find any guides on how to do that. I can't seem to find the driver I installed for it or unrevoked apk. on my phone so i'm not sure what's going on.

 

yup still off.

 

thanks. it looks a little confusing but i'll try it out. thanks again guys.

 

quick question. I was never able to flash anything on to my phone. there's no recovery at all. should I just use AmonRA and flash that?

 

ok it wasn't successful and when i put the PC36IMG.zip on the sd card, it comes out as wrong file or whatever. I've tried with AmonRA and Clockwork. Neither of them can be found in the hboot. can I just rerun unrevoked 3 again or will that cause issues?

 

ok so if the drivers uninstalled, i'd have to reinstall them, right?

sorry about the hassle but thanks a lot guys.
