Unbrick Rooted HTC EVO View 4G after Android 3.2 Honeycomb OTA Update



Today I ‘ll talk about how to Unbrick Rooted HTC EVO View 4G after Android 3.2 Honeycomb OTA Update. Its a good news for those users who attempted to apply the OTA update ended up soft-bricking their devices. Follow the step by step guide to know how to fix this problem.
Things to know first :

  • First, download and install ADB in your system. Check out our guide about ADB and how to use it.
  • Download a custom recovery image. Get it here.
  • If you had a Nandroid backup of your previously working ROM, have it ready. Or, if you want to flash a new custom ROM, download the ROM file and save it to your computer.
  • We are not responsible for any damages caused to you as you proceed with our instruction.

Steps Involved :

  1. Now, on your computer, locate the folder where “fastboot.exe” is located.  It is usually inside /tools or /platform-tools in the Android SDK folder.
  2. Next, copy the custom recovery image into that same folder.
  3. Turn off your HTC EVO View 4G.
  4. Reboot the device into Hboot mode by holding the Volume Down key and the Power button together.
  5. Then, from the options on the list, select “fastboot” using the Volume keys.  Press the Power button to confirm.
  6. Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
  7. On the computer, open a command prompt.
  8. At the command prompt, change directory to where fastboot is located.
  9. Type the following at the command exactly as shown (except the quotes) and press the Enter key: “fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-express.img
  10. The command above will flash the custom recovery image to your device.
  11. Go back to Hboot menu.
  12. Select “Recovery” from the options list.  Use the Volume keys to scroll through the list, and the Power button to select.
  13. Once the device is in recovery mode, you can now either restore the Nandroid backup of your previous ROM, or install/flash a new custom ROM.
  14. Reboot your device into normal mode afterwards.
