Root [CDMA] Dead after ROM Flash?

I know you mentioned that, but you still have the file, you can check it now for peace of mind to see, unless you already deleted it.



Haven't rooted it yet, going through root withdrawals already :D lol

Unfortunately that's the rookie mistake I made was not checking it :/
 
Not that I am aware of, but you can check from your PC ;)

When I can make it on the laptop ill make a check of it.

Uh oh, after 2 days on the charger, 3vo has a charging light now, can't get into bootloader yet. That's some progress!
 
Yep sure is, sounds like something Scotty will be all over ;) All he needs is a small pulse and he will revive ;)

They said they could order me a design 4g or shift.

Thats after I picked up gs2, no thanks
i woldnt be too thrilled with a shift or a design,either... there is pretty minimal development with both of those. i was gonna pick up a cheap design once(since they have some gsm capabilities),but the lack of anything for it change my mind ;)

I hope all I had was a corrupt file, I haven't seen any reports of other bad happenings like this.

Not giving up hope though ;)

for what its worth,the chances of damaging any phone,but espeically an s on one with a corrupt system or boot flash are slim to none. dont beat yourself up over it,even if the md5 is off. you should have been able to get to bootloader and fix a bad system/boot flash.

glad you found somethin your happy with,but i hate to see ya leave the htc club :(

im putting my $$ at this point on wierd,random component failure(maybe emmc?) as if something had happend,casueing the processor to freak out and enter a "do not boot" mode,youd have "found device!" noices and device manager should show it as QHUSB_download. ill keep pondering,tho ;)

have you tried anything since the charge light reapeared?

i also have to snicker a lil about us guides and a mod continuing our discussion on the rom thread :eek: :p if yall want,maybe we could pull the relevant posts to thier own thread and keep discussing it there,to not confuse the locals on this one :o i dont believe the rom had anything to do with the unfortunate scenario,so maybe we should,to keep folks from bein sceert of it :)

Lol that sounds like a good idea, whoever gets to it first I guess :p

But I haven't really had time to do anything or try anything with it yet. I'll let you know when I get home later if the laptop picks up a noise or not when I connect it.

Also whatever happened to the 3vo, completely wiped out my entire sd card. Went to pop it into the new phone to get my music and all transferred over, ain't a single thing on it lol not even my old nands or tb backups :(

Ouch good luck hope your 3vo comes back to life didn't backup your backups to the cloud(box or drop box) your nands and tb backups that is

If I had wifi or lived in a 4g area I'd have no problem doing that (too impatient to use sprints horrid 3g network for that :p)

If baby 3vo happens to rise from the dead (which she seems to be trying to do :p) thinking maybe it's something an ruu couldn't fix if we can get it into the bootloader at least.

Ahh gotcha I'm ocd about backups so I will store them on my laptop at least once a week that way if any problems I can at least go back in time a week instead of from scratch

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turns right back off if I try to get into recovery though so far.
 
Well she's not dead, I would venture to say that Scotty will suggest you somehow get the RUU on your SD card and hope it finds it under the next bootload. The weird thing is how you got everything wiped off your SD card, are you sure if you did a wipe partition, you didn't hit the full wipe and not except for SD card ??

I did like I would always flash and just choose wipe cache/dalvik and fr, otherwise when it began to install rom, it would say unable to find frozen.zip right?




How about if you try FR

Same as when trying to enter recovery, turns back off.
 
Man if you were s-off you could run the PG86IMG version of the ruu...

Is it possible your recovery is gone for some reason? Try flashing it through fastboot again.

Or try booting through fastboot. fastboot boot recovery recovery.img

Thanks man ill give this a try tonight or tomorrow when I've got time to sit down and do so.

Been so long since I've messed with fast boot I've forgot the commands lol
 
Sounds like your recovery is gone. I'd help you with commands, but have not had to use them in over 3 years, Brian or Scotty would be best for that.

wow,this looks like potential good news! :smokingsomb:

i wonder if your battery is shorting out,or flakey?

id run the .exe for the build your currently on(this one: Shipped ROMs case you need to up,you can.

youll need to relock to run it,or a full PG86IMG in hboot.

if you select fastboot,does it go? or turn off?

put phone in fastboot,open cmd,then fastboot oem lock

youll prolly get a security warning since youre on a custom rom,wich is no biggie.

run the .exe with the phone in this mode. cross fingers :D

since youve got a charge light now,i think id give it some time to see if it turns green :)

if you cant get the .exe to run,you can extract rom.zip,and rename to PG86IMG,or just download the .zip: Shipped ROMs

i do beleive they are self checking somehow,and will not run if they have somehow become corrupt. ive had a few instances where they would start,then flash off and disapear. redownloaded,and they worked :)
 
I also agree with Scotty, I would check your battery to make sure it is good, it is possible it did get shorted, I have seen it before. Wish while you were at Sprint that they would of checked it, that should of been the first thing they did.

It's not the battery as I've got a spare that I tried in it and to no avail still the same problem.

I just went to the Site you linked me to for the ruu zip, giving me (ruu doesn't exist) and (error in query)

I haven't plugged the 3vo yet to the laptop, way it looks it won't be until tomorrow, but it doesn't turn off when I select fastboot.

Also I can't run the PG86IMG while s on though can I?

sure... you can run PG86IMG while s-on. you just have to relock,and you must use the build that youre on or newer,not one thats older.

not sure whats up with the shipped rom links... see if this takes you to the shooter page:
