evo stuck in fatsboot hboot 2.02 s-off

[2CupsWithString]

ok lets try a few more things, how was your battery before all this?

 

[ganjamatik]

- do you mean how much battey life does it currently have? if so im not exactly sure but i can pop in a 100% charged battery if needed

 

[2CupsWithString]

yeah why not, here's my plan, you're on hboot 2.02 with s-off but your phone has crashed in fastboot, for some reason it's not letting you right recovery, so I first want to try first flashing an older more fun less problematic hboot.

if you can grab this file: xda-developers (you'll have to sign in at xda) - then extract it and put it in your tools folder and type

fastboot flash hboot hboot(filename).img

you can rename the hboot file in the zip to like "hboot.img" and then put it in that folder to make it easier - i'm about 30/70 that this will work..

next step is to get the latest RUU as it's probably allowed to write to your partitions and then bring the phone down to root w/s-off from there, but i'd hate to do that...

i dont wanna screw this up so let me be sure- i downloaded that file u linked me to- it was evo.hboot.zip or somethen- it extracted to a folder of the same name- inside there was a file called HBOOT.ZIP- i extracted that and inside was a hboot folder- inside of that was hboot2.0000somethn.img thats the file im supposed to rename to hboot.img and place in tools folder correct? if so then after i rename to hboot.img i would type this exactly below ? am i right

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

the file should be: EVO_HBoot_0.76.2000

it should be hboot_0.76.2000.img that you rename to hboot.img

just to confrim, if that is what you have then your syntax is fastboot is right.

 

[ganjamatik]

darn.. same error

it says WRITE FAILED_ ( remote not allowed)

 

[2CupsWithString]

ah bummer, alright let me try to find the latest RUU, it should be able to write to your phone, i hope.

 

[ganjamatik]

ok kool..-- dumb question but do i need to have a memory card installed for any of this process? i dont have one in there right now

I'm actually not sure, if it wasn't in before when you tried the RUU you have there's no harm in trying it again with it in there I guess. I don't know if it needs to write there for any temporary type of stuff but I'm not 100%

wow ok , so it managed to install the boot loader - that's good!!! hold on a sEC!!

 

[2CupsWithString]

alright boot in to the boot loader, can you get adb goign? just go to your tools folder and type adb devices

 

[2CupsWithString]

also, are you still s-off?

 

[ganjamatik]

i am in bootloader and in command prompt type adb devices but none show up - yes still says s-off

 

[2CupsWithString]

hm, is fastboot available in the bootloader? - what I'm thinking is I want to get you to put a PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard for the bootloader to read and install. Do you hvae any way, other than the phone that can't mount it right now, to put it on there? another phone or card reader or whatever?

 

[ganjamatik]

i have a card reader yes- and yeah device still shows up under fastboot devices

 

[2CupsWithString]

i have a card reader yes- and yeah device still shows up under fastboot devices

SWEEEETTTTTTT

get this and put it on the root of your sd card, then boot up in to fastboot, select bootloader and hit YES to update:

[ROM] RUU SuperSonic EvO 3.70.651.1 OTA - Stock - Sense - Deodexed & Odexed Version - xda-developers

just grab the odex for now, lets get this puppy howling again!

 

[ganjamatik]

crap I messed up, that'st he wrong file, but keep D/Ling it anyway for right now. Remember this file: Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! - you got it earlier as PC36IMG_recovery.zip, get a fresh copy, rename it PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD, let the bootloader flash that recovery and then from that recovery you can flash the zip you're grabbing now.
