Root Super mega bricked Evo

[Chckycrk]

So here's the story, you guys should get a kick outta this.
I was attempting to flash my Evo (which I purchased Sunday) to MetroPCS.

But somethings didn't quite work out at first.

Long story short, I went into Qpst, and did a restore of NV items (qcn) but I restored the wrong phone. I restored a samsung phone's data to my evo.

So now all I can do is load the bootloader and fastboot.

I cant install ROMS, Restore, access recovery or anything.

Who can help?

See my last post in the Metropcs guide...not sure if it will help, but I saw it and thought about that guide

Sorry really wish I could help ya

Edit: are you s-off? perhaps a ruu flash will work (pc36img)... I dunno, I'm just searching around

Try loading a recovery from bootloader? If you can get into that your golden.

 

[ocnbrze]

Yeah if you can get into the bootloader and you have s-off or even s-on and unlocked then you can try and get recovery back on?

That's a good suggestion. There are some .zip s that will flash the phone from the boot loader. No recovery needed. If someone doesn't beat me to it I'll link it here. Once you have it up you can do a ##786# reset and it'll reset the nv items on the phone.

Good luck.

I've tried the RUU flashing to no avail.
I am S-off.
I've flashed many different PC36IMGs to no avail.
Everytime I flash anything in the bootloader, I restart the phone and the "HTC EVO 4G" screen comes on for about 4 seconds and reboots. Same thing happens when I attempt to boot into recovery.

what is your hboot? so the bootloader sees the PC36IMG file, correct? and you select update, but then it just bootloops when rebooted, right?

Correct.
Hboot ver 6.16.1002

have you tried an actual RUU?

RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.zip

boot up the phone. i know it will bootloop, but it might be long enough for the ruu to take hold. it is a small chance but worth a shot.

I think that's the actual one I tried. But i'm gonna try again.
Update in ~10 min

Should I rename the file?

Currently at this point in time waiting right now while im typing this presently

 

[Chckycrk]

Well, I flashed the RUU, and nothing happened. Currently it has boot looped 6 times and it still has S-Off.

Gaaaahh

yeah not sure then. if the ruu's are not working then you might be screwed. you have to be very careful whenever you mess around with radios and nv's. i wish i had an answer or solution for you.

 

[andygu3]

Sorry about your phone, I know all about nv getting screwed. Probably can find a cheap evo though right now with all these people jumping ship

 

[CapThrowback]

Corrupted NV items = Bootloop of death

Time to get a new phone!

 

[summitone]

What about fastboot usb??? Then flash using a cmd on pc? Just throwing Tht out there.. I've got all the files also.
