Phone boots straight to Bootloader/Fastboot screen

[juaxoo]

I've been trying to root my HTC Evo 4G LTE phone and I've run into some problems. I was able to root the phone with no problem, however I wasn't able to get S-OFF due to my HBOOT version. I flashed CWM 10 rom so that I could get Jelly Bean on my phone but every time I booted my phone up, it would just hang on the boot logo.

I researched a little more and I found out that I didn't have the right kernel to run that Rom. I read that I was suppose to Flash the boot.img from the Rom I wanted to install using the Flash Image GUI app. I did so, and when my phone rebooted, it goes straight to the Bootloader / Fastboot screen automatically. I can not get it to load the Rom I flashed.

Can anyone help me or lead me in the direction to get the rom to load correctly?

Thanks

Can you get into recovery? and do you have a PJ75IMG on your sdcard, if so remove it

 

[juaxoo]

Yea I can get into recovery, its the Team Win one, and no I do not have PJ75IMG on my sdcard. Is there anything else that can prevent the ROM from booting?

 

[benny3]

Do you have a backup you can restore to get you backup and running

 

[juaxoo]

No I don't :/ It was the first Rom I flashed so I didn't think I could make one or need one for the stock rom

 

[benny3]

what was the last rom you flashed? and what version were you on last before you flashed it,2.13?

 

[juaxoo]

I flashed the CyanogenMod 10 version 1015. and Yes I was 2.13 before I flashed

try flashing a stock rooted rom and see if it will boot

 

[juaxoo]

Will the kernel that I flashed before affect whether it boots or not? I flashed the boot.img associated with the Cyanogen 10 rom

 

[benny3]

im thinking it didnt take and thats why its not booting

 

[benny3]

Here is my rom which is a tweaked version stock with bloat removed and added speed mods. it has a script that will flash the boot.img after it flashes. give it a try and let me know if it boots

CleanROM BE 2.3

I flashed it but after getting about 80% complete it just hangs on the TeamWin Recovery Image screen. It never tells me if the flash was successful or not

Reinstall your recovery

 

[juaxoo]

Okay I'm going to try that and see what happens

 

[juaxoo]

It still isn't going through. I uninstalled the TWRP recovery, reinstalled the stock and then installed TWRP again. Should I try another custom recovery and see if that'll work?

 

[benny3]

If were you i would RUU back to stock and start over fresh.

 

[juaxoo]

Okay I'll try that. But is there a specific method for Macs? I couldn't only find methods for PCs. And will I be able to use RUU even if I am S-On?

Just relock the bootloader and run the RUU.

 

[juaxoo]

Okay cool, thanks for all the help

 

[juaxoo]

I'm trying to run the RUU but it keeps giving me the error code 170. I even tried to flash the rom.zip as P86IMG.zip but its not taking. Any other suggestions?
