Root Help!

[psousa781]

I got my new phone and got te numbers switched so my wife now has my old EVO. I was removing my accounts from the EVO and when I tried to remove my gmail account it said I had to go to SD Card & Storage and do a Factory Reset to make it happen. I did this (I did not select to erase the SD Card) and the phone ended up rebooting into recovery. I found this odd and just selected reboot. It rebooted, but it went to a stock Android splash screen instead of the MikG splash screen. I waited a bit, and it seemed like nothing was happening so I pulled the battery and manually booted into recovery. I checked to see if my zip files were still there, and they are, so I decided to do a normal wipe and flash of MikG 3.11. Everything looked like it went fine, but when it rebbiited after installing the phone booted into the screen that shows s-off and has Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootlader and one other option. No matter how I reboot now it goes there. What did I do? How do I fix it? Please help!

How much power does the battery have?
Have you tried flashing another ROM maybe the Stock ROM?
It may not be a bad Idea to clear the contents of the SDCARD and start it all from fresh. If there is anything in .android_secure It could keep things tied up to your google account. Looks like you would have been better just to wipe it all and start her fresh.

I think I fixed it. I had a nandroid and restored it. Going to try flashing to MikG 3.11 again.

Yeah, definitely learned a lesson there. I thought just removing accounts would have been the easier way to go.

Strange. The nandroid worked and I was able to boot successfully. I then rebooted into recovery and did a full wipe and flashed MikG again. It installed successfully and rebooted, but went back to the screen with Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, and Power Off. Any ideas why that is happening?

sounds like a corrupt boot.img with the mikG maybe try to get a new download of it.

I was wondering if it could be a corrupt file. I have the nandroid to fall back on so I'll try a new download tomorrow. Thanks!

Had the same issue when I first ran mikg3.1. Re-downloaded and wiped/flashed and everything worked fine after that.

Figured it out, I am a moron. I forgot I flashed the update zip to go to MikG 3.11 so that obviously wont work too well after a full wipe. Downloaded SOS V to try.

Don't feel bad. You can find a couple threads around recently where people did the same thing with that .11 update. Glad you got it sorted out.
