[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Collserra:
Hello everyone.

I own an HTC EVO V 4G, which I have come to understand is practically identical to the 3D.

I went ahead and did the simple(ish) bootloader unlock process through HTC Dev, and had my phone rooted for at least a year now, tried a few S-ON capable roms, the usual mild rooting stuff, etc etc....

Much more recently, I decided that some of these S-OFF roms make my Unsensible rom look pretty old, and tried out the whole Wire Trick method through unlimited IO.

After a solid 3 hours of staring at my laptop screen....

I rebooted into the bootloader with that glorious S-OFF overtop.

As you might understand... I was very eager to install one of those amazing roms, and downloaded and tried installing the PACman rom for the EVO 3D, admittedly (and regrettably!!) rushing a bit :/

So, after flashing and rebooting, I was stuck in a bootloop with PACman's boot screen. I tried rebooting back into recovery through bootloader (pull out battery, volume down + power, reboot into 4ext recovery) and wiping everything except SD-card, re-installing the ROM, with no success.

At that point I was frustrated enough, to the point where I ended up trying anything I thought might have the slightest chance of giving me my long-awaited rom.

I don't remember what I did exactly, but I flashed a few more files, actually modified the updater-script in the ROM zip.... :/

And now I'm stuck at that White n' Green HTC boot logo, it does not reboot, just stays on constantly, laughing at my hours of fruitless labor.

I can boot into the bootloader whenever with a battery pull, go into 4ext with no troubles.

I have a backup of stock rom, but after whatever I did... Everything I have tried gives me the same results.

I've spent literally the past 9 hours trying to fix this thing, stayed up all night because I need it for the day, and the next day, and the next day...

I tried using the RUU, but I have taken both OTA updates, and even when I finally did get it to start up and run, it denies me almost instantly...

Some device specifics:

I am using linux (Ubuntu).

I own an HTC EVO V 4G (shooter)

I used to run 4.0.4 stock ROM.

Switched to Unsensible (with no issues before S-OFF)

Using 4ext recovery.

Currently on JuopunutBear HBOOT-1.57.5757.

Radio is 1.09.00.0108.

Last ROM I tried flashing before giving up in fear of throwing my phone was PACman.

A few weird things... That scare me a bit...

I can put anything on my SD-card from Ubuntu fine through 4ext's USB function, but everything I do doesn't "stick"...

As in... I put a PG861IMG on the root, see it stay on the root in Ubuntu's file manager, but then boot into bootloader and it doesn't register that there is one.

This is just one example, any other files I transfer over don't take either.

I've been using another phone (I think it's an ancient EVO 4G (Not an EVO V 4G))

I us that one to hold the SD card, and things transfer fine on that one, so I don't think it's the SD card.

If anyone can give me a miracle reply that will save my whole life, you have no idea how appreciative I would be.

Thank you in advance to any replies and/or advice and/or suggestions, etc...

I'm not 100% sure where to put this explanation/plea for help, so... I put it here for one.

I apologise if there's somewhere It'd fit better.
