Is there any way or anyone able to fix this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Geez.. wish I had known this lol... I mean my phone functions fine and everything but I want to be able to put the droid x boot animation back on here like it was before I flashed.:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] HPLouis:
I guess that's what happened to me too. This IMG file broke my recovery and now I can't get it back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
Yea my Wimax is broke and there doesnt appear to be a way to fix it. I followed part 2 of Toast's guide to go back to the old wimax radio, then flashed the previous radio update, cleared cache, and loaded the stock HTC rom and still do not have Wimax - just keeps saying "scanning..."
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Are you NAND unlocked and have su access?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
could some one make a pc36img of the 1.47 ROM? Maybe that could help with my problem. I don't care if I lose root now. I just want my phone to bootup. I'm missing a lot of business calls. Good thing for google voice though, at least I can retrieve the voice mails. But I really need to get this thing up and running. I'll even give a couple bucks to anyone who could help me out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
Ok, I decided to give this a go and was generally successful to the most part. A few minor things of note so far...

1. Adb shell does not put you into a root shell any longer. You must adb shell into the phone and su at the $ prompt while watching the phone for the prompt to allow superuser access. Once you allow the shell su access you will get your # prompt. You will need to su any time you shell into the phone going forward but shouldn't be prompted again to allow su access.

2. Adb remount no longer works. The command gens an error and /system remains mounted as ro. You must use the full mount command in shell after doing su to mount /system as rw or use a tool like root explorer to perform the remount operation. Write access is maintained once remounted rw though.

3. 4G reception seems worse with both the ota rom and the WiMax pc36img update applied. I could get 4G svc at the house running flips stock rooted ota 1 update prior to applying this update although it was 1/0 bars of signal inside the house. Now, no connection. Perhaps when the radio comes out this will be improved.

Everything else send to be working fine so far; wifi tether, titanium, root explorer, etc... If there are any other nuances... I haven't found them yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Actually it will as long as your NAND unlocked and have su access to be able to write the recovery console back
[EVO 4G Android Development] HPLouis:
This is how I rooted my EVO:

1 Copy over PC36IMG.zip to your sdcard on your EVO

2 Turn your Phone off

3 Hold VOL DOWN and continue holding while turning the phone on. When the white screen comes on you can let go.

4 The phone will check the .zip file and run automatically. At two points it will ask for user input. Say yes both times by pressing VOL UP as directed on the screen.

5 Saying YES the second time will reboot your phone. Yay you're rooted. But you won't have superuser access with this rom. Therefore:

6 I deleted the PCMG file off my card.

7 Now power your phone down and reboot holding volume down again. This time your phone will try to load something and fail (at least it did in my case)

8 It will provide you with options. Use the volume keys to navigate to "RECOVERY" and use the power button to accept

9 Your phone will display "HTC EVO 4G" then turn to a black screen with an exclaimation point in a triangle.

10 Connect your phone to your computer. In the evo-recovery files you downloaded, run recovery-windows.bat as administrator (by right clicking and choosing the option)

11 A command prompt will pop up and stream files to your phone. This in turn will enable options on your phone.

12 Now navigate to "Wipe" in the recovery menu

13 navigate to 'Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm the selection

14 navigate to "Davlik-cashe" and wipe that as well

15 return to recovery main menu and choose "flash zip from sdcard"

16 Choose Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip and let it install. Choose to reboot your phone.

171 Superuser access is now available.

I have the SuperUser Permissions on my apps screen. I don't know if I'm NAND unlocked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
Me too completely shot.. No signal it seems this completely bricked 4G for me, I'm fully nand unlocked on damage control 3.2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgh2atl:
I have su access through Connectbot & I'm pretty sure I still have nand. Any way to verfiy this?

I need to get mine up & running too. Willing to donate anyone who can fix this issue for you. Certainly will to offer more than a few bucks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
I can confirm this. I had no problem reflashing anon-ra's recovery once the wimax update was completed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Well I just download Damage's ROM and did a file comparison and it's not based on 1.47, it's based on 1.32, so that would explain the issues with WiMax. I'll post a zip to fix that issue on older ROMs soon
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
if I flash my nandroid backup before all the upgrades will my 4g be back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgh2atl:
Just noticed that I can get the mount as a hard drive image any longer. I can to the usb debug, but unable to get mount the sc card through the phone. Any way to fix that?

Man....completely fubar'd my phone. Definitely need some help if possible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
HPLouis, you only completed part 1 of toasts root process. Your nand is still locked. You need to do toast's part 2 to unlock nand.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
To be NAND unlocked, you have to do his Part 2 also, which requires you flashing a mtd, another PC36IMG.zip and a recovery.img
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
Thanks any idea when you'll have that up? i have completely broken 4g for now
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Damage 3.2.2 is not based on 1.47, even tho he said it was, so try this zip to fix WiMax on older ROM based on 1.32
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
I'm running your 1.47 with the wimax update and have no 4G Calk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Flash the WiMax fix I just posted and see
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
OK I got it to reboot by clearing storage in hboot but I think I lost root. I part 1 of 2 toast method wouldn't work because. I can't flash the pc36.zip could I still proceed to 2 of 2 of his method to unlock nand and flash the recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
just tested its still busted.... now what should I do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
How big is the PC36IMG you are trying? 168MB or 170MB?
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
wimax fix worked for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
are you on the 5.31 Radio?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
yes of course
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
168MB. I should be using the 170MB right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
can you flash back to radio 5.31?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
I'd like to know that too
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
No dice. Still no wimax for me once i applied the new zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
You are using the right one then and I have always been able to use that file even when I flash 1.47 completely(radio included).

But here, use this to revert everything back to stock and then try flashing Toast's part 1 & part 2

RUU_1.32.651.6
[EVO 4G Android Development] sjwaste:
Is there a link to the fix for damage?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
im going to wipe and install your 1.47 rooted rom untill this all gets figured out. Hopefully thatll solve my wimax problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
so what exactly did .zip for damage do? How do I revert it and how should I proceed and what should I worry about. Can I flash the old radio back and just be where I started or did the original update over right that and I can't go back? Please just need some answers Calkulin.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
I'd really appreciate a response Calkulin I don't know what I can and what I should do now that I'm on damage with your fix and your radio. How do I revert, should I revert, and how do I proceed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
I got the file and ran the exe. but unsuccessful. I keep getting Error[171]: Usb Connection Error and the cables are connected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
best thing to do is to just re-flash the ROM you're using w/o a wipe..it'll restore everything back to the way it was prior to running his patch
[EVO 4G Android Development] pgh2atl:
Calkulin - Thanks a million man. This .exe got me back to stock. I'll need to re-root, but its good to have this in case I mess up again. Donation sent!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
yeah but unfortunately wont that not remove the radio update? I don't want this radio update at all because clearly its a brick on my rom... Can I reflash the .31 radio that was working well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
If that doesn't work...Download the 2nd PC36IMG from NAND unlock and redo using that method
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
remember, this isn't truly a "radio" update..he just rewrites some of the wimax related files in our /system folder and includes a new boot.img...reflashing replaces that w/ what your dev has in those parameters, rendering his update inactive. I've done it w/ Fresh..all's well
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
Well I reverted and 4G is still as broken as can be... so idk man

I really just need one answer... after all said and done can i REFLASH the old .31 without fear of bricking?
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
You haven't flashed a radio yet. Why do so now? There are three images in here; recovery.img, WiMax.img, boot.img. One is a new kernel. One is a recovery image that reverts you back to the stock version. The third is related to wimax / 4G. I haven't figured out which partition that is flashed to yet but haven't spent much time looking yet either. None of them are a radio image and flashing a radio won't change anything that this img affected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
what does your baseband say in system info or whatever?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
.31 as usual
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
Sigh... you are running the .31 radio now, or should be. Flashing it again shouldn' hurt anything but won't change anything either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
I understand that but what I'm trying to figure out is if flashing the old .31 again will take away all the effects that this "update" had.. basically all I'm trying out is if I flash to say the new fresh rom flash the radio again will my 4G be up and working like it used to be
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
mann, this 4G is so fickle, I'm having a hard time isolating where a connectivity problem is! Try doing a nandroid backup, then a full wipe, and tryn re-flash your ROM of choice or backup. I'm on the latest Fresh and it works as should..
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
This is what I'm attempting to do, but I keep getting a bootloader version error... any ideas why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
I tried that too same error... I think that recovery is too old for how far we have all updated to since it was released.... I can't even do recovery the the PC36IMG.zip either so your not alone my man --- I think this is a bigger issue than just this problem and should be addressed by the devs

Thanks for all hard work and help guyys
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
It's the wimax image that has altered things if I'm not mistaken and none of the roms or the radio images include this, nor dose a nandroid backup get the partition that image is written to. The only way to revert would likely be to use one of the release ruus, probably need to use the .1 ruu as the .6 may not contain that image if it didn't change between the two versions. It may not even be in the .1 ruu for that matter. You would have to extract them and look to see. If you find it in there, the next step would be to figure out which partition it is flashed to and use flash_image to flash it. I haven't gone looking yet so I can't tell you specific details. I'm fairly sure this is the path back though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
ugh, finally got it to work.

##786#

menu

reset (warning wipes EVERYTHING)

enter msl code

reboots, updates with sprint, all working. thank the lord.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
Do you mean this re images the phone completely or does a factory reset kind of thing or what?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
factory reset i believe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
It does a factory reset and it also reactivates your phone, updates the prl, etc automatically
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
So that fixed my wimax issue, only problem is now I cant get back into a custom recovery to swap ROMs. Did the wimax-fix update zip earlier mess with the recovery? I think it locked my nand somehow because rom manager cannot flash clockwork recovery for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpflaw00:
So I don't need this if I flashed this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712551

*edit*Nevermind one is for the patches and this one is for the radio updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
I'm using the .1 RUU and it still wont flash... any options on how to get my phone back to complete stock so I can undo all these changes 4g has done?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
I tried this and still can't flash the .6 shipped ROM. Still getting connection error 171. Man I need help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
you can try to turn off the phone

hold the VOLUME UP button while turning it on

That will put you into a mode where the RUU can find you. It worked for me previously. Give it a second once done, as itll need to install a driver for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
I've got the original wimax.img file from the .1 RUU - I'm assuming I just need to manually flash it so that the .1 RUU installer will stop failing?

Anyone know the proper commands for this? I'd assume they'd be similar to flashing a recovery.img file:

"cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image xxxxxxxx /sdcard/xxxxxxxx.img"

Obviously in that third line im not sure what to put for a wimax flash instead of 'recovery'
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I've got some uploaded that don't overwrite the recovery. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
Calkulin you need to speak up here man.. several people have SERIOUS issues.. We all need to know what we have to do to revert back from this mess. I know we all made mistakes too but this is a serious problem a lot of are stuck with bricked 4G... like myself I've tried everything and I can't get it back
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
I'm not trying to flash the new wimax update, im trying to get my evo to bone stock non-rooted. The RUU updates wont work because they are detecting the new wimax is already installed. I've located the original wimax.img from the .1 RUU and im trying to verify the correct commands to flash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
Yeah. Id give just about anything for someone to just tell us all how to revert back to stock. The ruu does not work
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
yeah this is really bad news.... and we are all just being left in the dark
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
I'm sorry, I joined in a bit late...do you have NAND unlocked?

I can try to help, but no promises.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
I had nand unlocked. No problems. Then this update and now I have to manually su for everything.

All i want is to be able to revert. Just to get back to the stock rom. Is there a check in the update ruu that we can disable somehow? HTC has been making android phones with ruu's for a long time, surely there is a way around this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
at this point I have NO idea because I've tried everything to get my 4G back. the RUU for sure doesn't work weve all tried it. This is what I've tried

recover to nandroid backup - no 4g

tried the ruu- it failed

did the sprint recovery via the phone the ##755 thing- no 4g

tried to flash newest fresh - endless reboot on htc screen which to me points toward the fact that I've lost nand unlock

FIXED SEE BELOW
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
So just an update, I successfully flashed the wimax.img from the stock .1 RUU, then attempted to run the .1 RUU again to see if it wouldn't fail the version check - Did not work. Still getting a 43 main version check fail error in the RUU.log file
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
see my newest post for the 4G fix
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:

[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
OKAYYY WOOOHHOO for those who lost 4G here is your fix!!!

FIRST

##786#

menu

reset (warning wipes EVERYTHING)

enter msl code

REDO-no matter what- PT2 of Toasts Unlock - NAND unlock - follow all the steps

after your done

reboot recovery and flash the newest fresh rom

after your done reboot phone-add the radio .31 to root of sdcard (NOT THIS ONE) and again reboot to recovery

flash the .31 radio as you probably did previously - reboot and congrats you will have 4G again and everything will work perfectly
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Speak up?? Are you serious??? Have you not read the thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
So.. can anyone give me a short summary on how to get clockwork recovery back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
open rom manager - flash clockwork recovery -

if you want it to stick

search forum for "permanent clockwork"

you got it permanently than
[EVO 4G Android Development] nunyabiziz:
I too was successful at get out of the "Main boot version BS" and now have custom recovery back again!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Ok maybe im asking the wrong thing because this isnt working for me. First let me explain the issue... when I reboot into recovery, then do vol up and press the power button it brings me to the screen with wipe cache, wipe hard/reset, open update.zip. Im trying to do the thing where I go into update.zip to where I can flash roms and all that. It does NOT work.. everytime I try to do the update.zip thing it fails. Worked fine before I flashed this radio thing so where do I go from here? Yes I flashed clockwork from rom manager and I still cant get past the update.zip thing so what now? Do I need to go back to stock or what? My 4g works but my custom recovery/flash menu isnt accessible anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
do the permanent clockwork mod fix search for it in development thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] peanutplanters:
This didnt work for me either. I'm lost. My 4G is 100% bricked! It will say searching for sprint... then, connecting to sprint.... then it will turn itself off, then back on. Then repeat the same process.

I've tried using the new radio and new Wimax update, together with the new OS update - doesnt work

Suggestion you gave above - doesnt work

Tried flashing my Wimax modem with the .1 version from the RUU updater - doesnt work

Tried to return my EVO to stock using the .1 or .6 RUU updater - doesnt work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:

Continuous 4G "Scanning"

Hi All,

I've been following the conversation, but am not clear if there is any solution for (or solve in the works) for phones that are having their 4G turn on, but then sit in the "scanning" state forever. I have personally walked my phone to a 4G tower to ensure this is indeed an issue.

The phone I am using which has this issue is running:

Baseband:

2.05.00.06.10

Build Number:

1.47.651.1 CL195459 release-keys

Software Number

1.47.651.1

This phone has the rooted OTA update from 6/28 as well as the radio and Wimax updates from this thread applied.

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful - and thank you ALL for your hard work. It is much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mayfly82:
I was really excited when my phone updated to the OTA 1.47.651.1 but after updating this radio I have no control over my permissions. I lost nand protection, cannot use adb shell and have no 4g. I cannot even revert back. Can some help me out. I have tried all types of ways; redoing toast's nand, rerooting but nothing seems to work. I do have a nand backup but cannot run it without nand restore. Please help a noob
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Man we're in the same boat... I dont even think its possible to go back to stock either because i've tried everything under the sun. Every single thing people suggest to me doesnt work so it looks like we're just STUCK. I knew I should have waited before I flashed this.. damn.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathaflores:
going back to stock!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I too want to go back to stock so I can reroot and then try different steps to try to fix the wimax (4G) not working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
did you follow all the steps? what doesn't work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] spidercheck04:
i went back to stock non rooted and it works fine and know and i have re-root the phone lol but its up again and you can update while there so yea
[EVO 4G Android Development] mayfly82:
how did you get back to stock . My phone is so messed up i cannot even enable debugging.:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] urcboss07:
Can you tell how to go back to stock rom so I can re-root? WiMax 2.05 is a mess. I try almost the whole day following every thread but still not work for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
People keep claiming they went back to stock but NO ONE is saying how they did it... I mean wtf
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
How many are reading the instructions before thinking they are experts on the processes involved?

I see so many saying they did this or that and the results are so way of whack of other people's results.

My phone is not special and I was able to flash and get it right. I am no expert or DEV. Too many chiefs and not enough indians in this situation.

If you are not comfortable with it don't think its always an easy process. Thinks happen but seldom does the same procedure results in the amout of mixed results seen on here.

That is just my observation.

Don't kill the DEV's with blame let them help when they can. Otherwise the could disappear. They are not paid employee's of XDA :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Man all I wanna know is how people that flashed this and the ota rooted rom got back to stock. I've read suggestions from a ton of people and everything i've tried has failed. I tried fastboot and ran the ruu... and it gets about halfway through then gives a error 140 saying that the ruu cant update the bootrom. What am I missing? I mean im literally dead in the water... custom recovery is gone and no matter what I cant get it back... cant do anything through adb because it says the device is offline...I just need some kinda guidance here to get this off of my phone or am I pretty much stuck at this point? I'm open to ANY suggestions. The phone is running fine dont get me wrong but I want to just go stock and start over again. Even if I try to do the p36img thing from recovery it wont work.. gives an error and says it cant flash an older version. At this point I really dont know what to do lol...
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
I'm stuck with the same problem. I've tried everything possible I can think of and what ever is provided in this thread to restore back to stock but no luck.
