ok, guys... something is totally effed up with my evo. i was trying to reroot after doing a factory reset, but now all it does is reboot from the "htc evo 4g" screen constantly. it won't even bring up sprint's 4g boot screen...
please help!
nothing?? =/
trying to do a factory reset through the android os? I dont think that takes away root. But in any case, can you still manage to get into recovery? If so you could do a nandroid restore, or flash a new rom

it's weird. i tried that. it's still loops. i tried to do a nandroid restore as well, no success. i flashed dc 3.2.3 (what i was on previously) with no success.
it just loops with the htc evo 4g logo screen and then powers off and then repeats. i even tried a different microsd card, but again, no success.
Have you tried wiping cache, or even full data/cache/dalvik and then flashing a rom?

aaaand... nope, no success.
So all you did is do a factory reset from the settings and it started boot looping? Is your recovery method up to date (if clockwork)

yea, i wanted to reroot it and apply a new rom. i use amon ra recovery. it was up-to-date, from what i understand.
Well crap! The only thing I can recommend is to use the starting over guide, possibly trying to use a ruu to return it to stock and the try rerooting and flashing a new Rom
Just so I can sleep comfortably tonight, you were just rerooting for fun? Because you know you don't have to reroot to flash a new Rom correct?

trying to use a ruu would work, if i could only boot up, which i can't =/
and yea, i wanted to get a better feel for rooting. i know i don't have to reroot, i just wanted to wipe everything and start fresh, you know, wipe the slate clean. i'm trying the recovery-windows.bat batch file now. worst scenario, i'll go to sprint tomorrow and try to get a replacement.
still, thanks for the help man!
Hmm, do you think there is a possibility you could have used the wrong image when you were trying to reroot? Or if you didn't get that far, starting at toast part 2 might get you out of the loop.
I'm sure you'll get it though!

it's entirely possible i may have used the wrong image. i'm trying to see what this batch file will do, though it's been hung for quite some time. i tried doing toast's part 2, i got the error that the sdcard folder doesn't exist... when it was already mounted lol.. something funky is going on.
thanks i hope so...
having the same problem tried to go back to stock so i could exchange the phone. now i am stuck with the reboot loop also. if anyone figures out what to do would really love the help.
i let the recover-windows.bat batch file run overnight and it seems to be stuck at this spot:
C:\Android SDK\android-sdk-windows\tools\evo-recovery>adb-windows.exe shell nohu
p /sbin/recovery
nohup: appending output to nohup.out
i ran it while i was in recovery, and the recovery menu is weird, switching between the main menu and sub menus if i use the volume rocker to move up and down the selections... i think i'm going to go to the sprint store, act stupid, and try to get a replacement.
i bought mine at bestbuy so sprint wont look at it. until my 30 days is up with bestbuy. and cant get a replacement at bestbuy since they are out of stock. hopefully someone can fix this problem. because right now iam sol.
I have absolutely no idea what would cause this, I will try searching around to see if a similar problem was resolved. I just can't believe that it won't let you do anything from recovery. Have you guys tried a different Rom, maybe stock Rom before root? Clueless, I am hoping someone will chime in with something else to try.
Can you still remount the system as rw? Using the command: adb remount rw?
If so maybe try flashing the recovery, wiping, and then flash a stock rom?

it's really weird. i can't get past initial boot. i went to the sprint store and they're out of stock, so i have to wait a few days
in the meantime, i'm going to try and continue to force my will onto my evo lol. this is heartbreaking...
do you know where i can find a stock rom unroot? like a zip file? maybe that'll work? i doubt it, but worth a shot.
Yea let me get the link. Will edit...
Here is a cache of the wiki, it has links for Stock rooted roms which I would give one of those a shot. I can only find the unrooted in an exe form. I am not sure but in the boot screen you could try fast boot usb and see if the exe would run that way but I am entirely unsure about that
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...iki&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Also, did you see if your nand was still unlocked? And did you try reflashing recovery? Not sure, just throwing ideas out there!

Since you can boot into recovery, amon ra will let you mount your sdcard as a drive into windows where you can download the stock 1.47 RUU and copy it into the root of your sdcard. Once you do that, unmount via the recovery menu and wipe data/dalvik and then flash the ruu to try and get it to boot. You shouldn't need to boot fully to flash the ruu. Find the starting over post by whitslack to get the ruu.

I have been rooted for a while now and had bakedsnack 1.4 installed for about 2 months now. Everything was stable until a few days ago when it started rebooting randomly then much more often so I decided it was to time to update...went for Ava v9. After reseting factory defaults, wiping cache, wiping dalvik, I installed the rom. Immediate infinite loop reboot, tried this rom 2 more times then the newest baked snack then the plain rooted stock. All are infinite reboot loops...I have wiped numerous times now and can't seem to find a problem, I have updated my radios and everything trying to fix this to no avail. I could really use some help...here is a catlog of my bootup and 2 of the infinite reboots after a clean install.

and the big question: should i stick with ava v9 or what other rom should i try? i have never tried fresh, and cyanogen is too unstable for me. i have pretty much only tried ava, omj, and cm. plz recommend the must tries etc. i'm not asking you to choose for me, just tell me what to try.

I had the EXACT same problem as you. Was the PU fail next to the boot line during the update? If so, then I think you've got bad blocks in your boot partition and I hate to say it but you might not be able to flash any custom kernels anymore. Once I finally got mine booted, the only kernel that worked was a stock one. I was able to flash Fresh, but HAD to keep the kernel stock. I ended up calling Asurion and filed a claim. Got my new evo today and am having no issues.

Yup, failed for me the first time but worked the second. My phone was never the same after I went through that ordeal. No custom kernels worked, terribly sluggish performance, constant reboots. That's why I said f*ck it and had Asurion send me a new one.

what'd you do? what exactly did it fix? everything?
On first try, boot: fail-PU. I guess this is a common problem? pretty lame. Will post after I try again.
Ok so now that, that failed..how do I try it again? when I reboot into recovery it just checks the PC36IMG.ZIP and dumps me back to the bootloader without asking me to install it...
I've done what I think dkdude36 did [install PC36IMG] and did get PU fail, and now i'm stuck in HBOOT/BOOTLOADER as expected. Now I only have the few options in bootloader and don't know what to do. I've rebooted and gotten the bootloops then wen't back into bootloader and it loads PC36IMG but it doesn't give me the option to update again. Am I supposed to do something in order for it to give me that option again? If so, what? As of now, I'm stuck and am bricked (hopefully not permanently).

Ok, so here is what I have done: I have already rooted my phone, etc, and have flashed some different roms on my phone, and have not had any problems until now. I recently tried the miui rom, but didn't like it.I just flashed the newest miui rom, and it was acting really weird, so I decided to go back to the virtuous rom which I had used before. For whatever reason, I am getting this error: E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (file exists), and the installation aborts. I did the wipe data deal, and I also tried to reinstall the miui rom. It says that installs fine, but it won't get past the htc incredible screen. Any suggestions? Also, I didn't want to try this and mess things up further, but can I restore a backup I had done when I had the virtuous rom installed, or do I have to have the rom already working properly? Kind of a noob question, I know.

Hmmm... Do you have any Nandroids from earlier roms? That'd be the easiest route.
If not, since you can't even get to a homescreen, you might try an RUU reset, but let's hope it won't come to that for now.
I get that too, but only when going into the menu for Dalvik Cache wiping, and it never actually gets in my way, it just pops up and then I can keep going on about my business.
1. yes you can restore the backup whether a rom is currently working or not
2. post questions in the correct forum
If you can't get a nandroid backup to work, you may have to RUU back to stock.
Here's the older one that will still let you use unrevoked after. Just rename this PB31IMG.zip, load up H-boot, follow the prompts, and be patient. Then run unrevoked when it finishes and install rom manager to restore your backup. If the backup still won't work, try a fresh install of virtuous.
Sorry

Probably in the Q & A General Forum, but don't worry about it this time, just as long as it doesn't end up being a frequent thing.
But I don't know about being able to move the thread, I think that's a Moderator power.
Regarding your issue though, either use the RUU link posted above, or try Nandroid-ing back.
No go
I tried restoring a backup, and got cannot mount /data, along with the previous error... It changed my boot animation, but has not restored my phone. should I do this RUU back to stock? Sorry for not being very good at this, and I definitely appreciate the help.

It's cool.
Yes, you'll need it on the root of your SD-card (not in any folders), run it through hboot, and then you'll have to re-run the unrEVOked tool from your PC. I would also suggest running the S-Off tool afterwards, just to be safe. That has saved me once before.
Make sure you have at least 50% battery before you do the hboot flash. VERY IMPORTANT. If your phone dies or loses power while updating the radio files from the RUU, your phone is as good as bricked.
If you get stuck with the unrEVOked tool at waiting for root for more than fifteen minutes, post back here again and we'll continue from there.
EDIT: Actually, run the unrEVOked Forever S-Off tool through CWM recovery before doing this, as a pure precautionary measure.
I'm an idiot apparently
Well, I am really sorry guys, I won't ask any more questions on here. Apparently I am super stupid. I figured it out, I left out some info because it didn't even register as relevant, but it was the key apparently. So I just go a new sd card, and I formated it on my computer, and just dropped the zip files on there, and was trying to flash like that, and apparently the phone didn't like the new sd card, or it needed info off the old one, because once I put it back in and tried flashing from it, it works fine now. Sorry for bothering everyone, I am going to go sit in the corner in shame now.

Hahaha! No worries, we all have our moments!
Glad you figured it out. Be sure to make a backup of your current rom on your new SD card right away haha.
Am trying to do a nandroid backup using Amon-Ra 2.3, and it just keeps laying down line after line of dots, taking much longer than I would expect, and never finishes. I've tried the suggestions in this thread on the issue, and I'm still having no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions/wisdom to offer? I've let it go for 20-30 minutes on a couple of occasions, and it's still not working -- I just end up with a screen full of dots.
Part of the reason I'm doing this is that I've been having issues with my wireless, data, etc toggling on and off on its own lately, so I thought a fresh start with a new ROM might be worth a go. Doubt that's related, but who knows, so I'm throwing that out there in case it matters.
Thanks!
PS Currently running VirusROM Airborne RC 6, to the extent it makes a difference.
What rom are you trying to restore?
If you wanted to start fresh, than you can install your new rom fresh, then restore all your apps+data, just not system settings.
I wasn't trying to restore anything, I was just trying to do a nandroid backup so I could flash another ROM. With that said, I've tried to restore an older backup to make sure I had one that worked, and that isn't working, either -- just an endless stream of dots. If I pull the battery in the midst of a restore, will I screw anything up?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip Place that on your sdcard, and flash it in the bootloader, that'll re-flash amon_ra 2.3; hopefully that should fix it.
thanks man, I'll give it a try.
Aye aye, and I shall be around if it doesn't work.
well, I'm stuck in the back end of the boot animation now. Hmmm, very frustrating. How horrible would it be to just do a factory reset of the phone? Would I have to re-root?

If you do a factory reset, that just erases all data. You should always wipe the factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery before flashing a rom for the first time. You don't have to re-root, just restore your apps from titanium backup.
OK, so here's where I'm at:
1. I can't perform a nandroid backup
2. I can't restore any of my previous backups
3. I can't boot the phone to allow me to flash the new Amon-Ra you provided.
With all of that being the case, I feel like I'm sort of out of options at this point -- maybe just wipe it and flash the new ROM, hope for the best, and perform a nandroid after the flash? Can't really get any more screwed than I am now, right?

What do you mean you can't get to the bootloader?
Power the phone off/battery pull, upon turning on, hold vol+down till you see the white android screen, then it'll scan for the PC36IMG, which you apply update, then reboot. And it can still be saved.
I guess the question was how do I get the file onto my phone when I can't get the phone to boot up, but it occurs to me that I can pull the card out and load it on there that way, so let me give that a go and follow those steps. Now, I've just got to find that little card adapter thingy...
Thanks again, appreciate the assistance
Ah yes...the adapter...tis why I just always leave it in my laptop. But that will work, and you're welcome.
that did the trick, back up and running. Whew!
Much appreciated!
Glad that it worked.
ok im kind of a bit of a noob to rooting but ive been at it a few months, i tried to flash a custom rom today (first time) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17235986 everything went fine i did all the wipes x3 and followed the instructions and it makes it to the revolution boot screen then loops back to clockwork recovery mod so before i bring it back to stock with odin in a few hours, is there ANY way to resolve this?
Could be a # of problems. Ill try to help after I get some sleep and get t work. I just didn't want you to feel stranded.
ive decided to go ahead and use odin and try to install another custom rom later. maybe ill have some feedback by then
now i just have a phone picture an exclamation point and a computer showing up
ok nvm i managed to get it back to stock. i do want to figure out what went wrong to begin with though.
Probably a bad flash or a bad download.... re download it and try again.... Does cwm show any hint that something went wrong with the installation?
At a quick read is says it auto converts you to EXT4 so as long as that went OK it may be what Theduce said. It could also be bad data. You may have to do a factory data reset before flashing if you have everything backed up and can restore your apps and stuff. Sometimes a reflash when you are in the boot loop will work. As a tester I often have to factory data reset after getting boot loops. Probably why my SD card is littered with backups.
i used titanium backup and backed everything up before i used odin, afterward i checked my sd card and it looks like everything is still there, how do i get it back? also if i cant get my backup back can someone give me a link to a one click root file my computer keeps reading the ones i have already as bad so it wont even run them
EDIT: ok so after reading yet another guide on flashing roms it appears i did do everything right, probably a bad rom like everyones guessing also, should i even try to reinstall this rom or just try and find another one? (any suggestions? im on EC05)

You will have to root again, download Titanium from the market and restore user apps. Redownload the ROM if you are dead set on trying that one. Once you know how to get everything working again after a failed flash the hard part is over. Just an inconvenience when stuff blows up.

If your not running any scripts then I would try fresh download wipe all except sdcard battery and rotation and reflash don't flash any thing else until after you boot up then flash each additional item that you like one at a time rooting between each one that way you can find out what if anything is causing your problem hope that helps
ive used the wipe on EVERY options.. even wipe sdcard, battery and rotate screen option...
I dont flash any extras then the actual rom..

Then I would try a fresh download you may have a bad copy
I had the same issue on a replacement Evo, it had never been rooted. Eventually it wouldn't boot up at all, even after 20+ tries. I took it into the Sprint store and they ordered a replacement (they did check for s-off).
I would try running an RUU. If the problem persists, then do whatever you have to do to get s-on so you can get a replacement. I'm not familiar with the new rooting and unrooting methods, haven't done it since FroYo. If running an RUU will revert you to s-on, then I'd use an easily rootable RUU in case it solves your problem. Good luck!
Like plainjane said. In case you need to unroot and have it replaced, I'd follow captain_throwbacks thread at the mik-mik to downgrade radios and hboot to froyo (radio 2.15.00.11.19 hboot 2.10) before your phone becomes completely unalterable, then you'll still be root, and if the unthinkable happens, you'll also be in good shape for sprint checking your setup. Look in the general sub-forum,... much talk and info about this. Look for info from Captain_Throwback.

If you wiped your SDCard, then you have nothing on there. Definitely run the RUU and see where you can go from there
Might wanna check ur permissions ad well....not sure which rom ur running but the boot animations..are either in data....local....or says...media...resources ...if I'm remembering correctly ....long press and check ur permissions once you've found them

how long have yo let it go? Iv had a similar problem when i boot to a new rom for the first time. it goes through the splash screen, then to bootanimation, then back to splash then animation again. this usually happens 1-2x then once its all up, settled in and i have my settings and apps reapplied it doesnt happen again. Just my experience.
the only problem is....
Im not on sprint.. heck im not even in the U.S.
Im up in Canada. I bought this phone for my media player instead of an ipod, which is more (got this phone for $50) and for taking pictures... If its dead (i hope its not) then its no big deal...
also, i have a habit of backing up my important info and wiping my SDcard when install a new rom..
im kinda getting fed up with this constent reboots..
im thinking if I flash the stock RUU, this would unroot my phone.. then I will reroot it.. would this be a good idea??
I read that the lastest RUU cant be unlocked yet.. so which is the latest version that can be unlocked and s=ff?

I'm surprised no one's asked you this yet, but what recovery are you using?
Amon RA, from the following link. Flash it via hboot using PC36IMG.zip

IIRC, after i flashed this recovery, i started having these issues... before I was on the revolutionary recovery and didnt have any issues..
