I used Rom Manager to install bugless beast and in the start up screen it just keeps resetting. I see the android thing being drawn out in animation constantly, and nothing else is happening. What do I do?

okay, were you NAND unlocked?
Did you do a factory wipe and dalvik cache wipe pryor to installing to stop the boot loop take the battery out did you back up your nand prior to the flash if so take the battery out then get into recovery and restore your nand backup
"evo you look good won't you back that nand up, damn that rom is fine won't you back that nand up, dude that's a sweet theme won't you back that nand up, what a cool lock screen won't you back that nand up"

hands down the best post i've come across on xda... also, very true.
best thread title i've come across although unfortunate.
I used unrevoked 3. That's all. I apparently should have NAND it first, I'm assuming. What should I do to get my old rom back?

Boot into recovery (down volume + power).
Wipe call caches and factory reset
Flash Buglessbeast
Consult Wiki
Have you consulting the wiki that toast has compiled? The link is found in the first sticky post in this EVO Dev forum.

Hopefully you did a Nandroid backup. Just factory wipe/dalvik/cache and restore.
If you didnt, dunno what to tell ya man. Better hope there's a trick to it, maybe use the search function.

what rom were you using previously and is the zip for that rom still on your sd?
The previous rom I was using was the stock rom. I did hit backup rom when I was installing it. Now the system has finally started up, but now I'm trying to go through the google settings, and it keeps crashing the phone on step three, and I can't work my way around it, unfortunately.

stock rom with root? do you have the zip file for the stock rom?
did you try what others suggested and wipe dalvik/cache/data factory reset and try re-flashing bugless or any other rom on your sd?

here a few steps you can try. Assuming that since you was able to use Rom Manager to install Bug's that meant you already have clockwork flashed and working correctly if not you won't be able to use Rom Manager to flash anything.
Steps if you are lucky and still have either damage or any other rom's zip file still on you sd card, if you do not have it, i recommend open up your back cover, take out the micro sdcard and connect it to your pc so that you can download and transfer a ROM that you want to use then put the sdcard back on your phone then follow the steps below.
1) power off you phone. if you can't use the power button then kill the battery.
2) hold the down volume button and the power button while booting up your phone until you see the Fastboot menu before letting those buttons go.
3) you should see a menu with a few choices on it. use the volume key to navigate down/up to where it say Recovery then press the power button to choose it. If everything is working in your favor, your phone should now boot into a black screen with ClockworkMod Recovery xxxxx as your title.
4) from here, you will be using the up/down volume button to navigate to wipe data/factory reset then push the power button to pick it. it will make you scroll down to yes on the next screen to be sure so follow the instruction.
5) after it finished wiping, you may also want to do the same thing with wipe cache patition as well to be sure.
6) if you are on any other menu other than the one with the ClockworkMod title at this point. please go back to it.
7) now pick install zip from sd card and pick the one you want to flash and with much luck you would be up and running in 10 minutes.
good luck.
ps: if you need help or step by step instruction you can email me and will gladly wipe my damn phone and go through it with you. lol seem I love all the ROM from all these developers too much that I pretty much do this at least 5 times a day.

What method did you use. What is your phone software and hardware setup?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
this is the method that i used [ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ v2.2 (works with all version)(2/1/11). im sure i did something wrong do not want to make it seem like i am placing the blame on the dev that wrote this. as for the other info well lets just say im an ass cus i didnt write it down like it was recomended. if it helps any i bought it a month ago max 2 months not shure it that helps.
Can you Boot into Recovery? (Hold Power+Volume Down when phone is off)
Did you create a Nandroid backup?
yes i did trying it now thank you for the help
after i boot into recovery what is next
go down to where it says recovery using the down volume button and click on with the the power button. Hopefully this will take you into recovery mode. If it does take you into recovery mode go down to where it says wipe cache partition and click on it and select wipe. Then go to where it says advanced and click on it. Then click on dalvik cache and click on the then select wipe. If you can do this they you can try to reboot your phone. If not. Let me know.
If you didn't do a backup and you can get into recovery you can do a data factory reset. Its on the green recovery menu.
If you cant get into any of that and you get stuck on a red triangle try holding the power button and the volume up and you should see a menu with a factory reset. click on that and it should wipe your phone.
i tried the first step and it did not take me to recovery mode and of course i did not do a back up cus im a dumb ass. I did manage to get to the screen with the red triangle and did a factory rest. ok another stupid question do i reboot the system or select apply sdcard update zip.
if you did a factory data reset just reboot. Hopefully this will get you back.
It might take a few extra minutes to start up so give it a few extra minutes.
on the white htc evo screen
has it been more that 5 minutes.
still on the evo screen sorry about the delay was talking to my wife, she doesnt know i screwed up my phone had to keep her occupied
Ok give me a minute. Were having storms here so my internet is slow. First you will need a SD card for your phone. Clean it out except for one file you will need to download.
You need to download pc36ing. Zip for 3. 70. 651. 1 just search the form and you can get it for free.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
got the card and the file extracting it to the new sd card as i type this
ok dont extract the file. Just put the whole zip file on the sd card. Once you do this turn off the phone. Pull the battery if you have to. Then start the phone by holding the power button down and the down volume button. This should that us to the boot loader. One click down you should see the HBOOT usb at the bottom. Click down to go there. Once there click the power button then select fastboot, then bootloader. If everything went well you should be ask to flash something. Then select your file on the sd card.
i see what happened. this is why i dont use auto scripts. if one command fails, there is no possible way to find out which. just unroot using an ruu or a pc36img.zip and then do zikronix's there will be root tutorial. i'll link it in my sig soon.
doesnt appear to be reading the file says no image. to be honest not sure if i am doing this right. did you want me to use two different sd cards.
make sure it's named pc36img.zip exactly. and is on the root of ur sdcard (not in any folders). i have the method linked in my sig now btw.

try to follow the above link. This might be a little easier. Don't worry your phone can see be saved. If all else fails your phone is not rooted so you can take it to Sprint and tell them that your phone is jacked and you need a warranty replacement. Last resort.
I just installed CWM 3.0.0.5 and now my Epic is frozen upon reboot! It keeps going to the SAMSUNG black screen and wont move from that.
I reboot in recovery mode and get to the CWM menu but cant do anything from there, cant wipe device, cant remove anything, etc.
Help me fix this!
Im a college student that needs his phone working ASAP!
Thank you!
I warned you in your other thread about not just jumping in head first into an empty swimming pool.
Ok lets see if I can help, so after you rooted with cwm3 and booted into cwm3. It converted all your files correct? If so you probably missed the most important step. After its done converting you need to flash an ext4 compatible rom(cwm3 compatible rom) then you reboot and should be good to go.
Now if you don't have the proper rom on your sd card, you need to go download one and then put it on your sd card, then boot into cwm holding volume down, camera button and power. After it boots into cwm3 use the volume buttons to navigate and the camera button to select, navigate to 'apply zip from sdcard' find your rom you just put on the sdcard and flash it. Its going to be a long day for you, but on the bright side your name is cheech and its 420 sonny. Good luck.

Lol... your motto says it all. You will need a card reader and put the rom on the sdcard not in any folder(easier to find and it will be at the bottom).
You can still reboot into cwm by holding volume up, camera, and power and while still holding power and camera slide your thumb to volume down and that should get you into cwm. If it doesn't then pull the battery and boot into cwm.
You can return to stock via odin, but I've only used it twice and it was for flashing a modem both times. I've never flashed a rom with odin so I can't really give any quality advice.

Trying not to sound rude, I really am...
Read man! Check threads in the development forum about flashing and Odin.
You have 2 options like Epic4GEE stated:
1. From a computer, download an EXT4 compatible ROM to your SD card and boot back into ClockWorkMod to wipe caches and flash.
2. Boot into download mode (1 key + power button to boot) and use Odin to put DI18, EB13 or EC05 back on your device.
There are even video tutorials stickied in the General section to assist people. People are here to assist if you have problems, but you have to help yourself by reading the material first. ;-)

Answers can be extremely difficult to locate when **** hits the fan or for someone new. The wiki doesn't appear to be kept all that up to date by us, the community, but then again I haven't checked it in like 2 months.
I'll even go one step further and upload my copy of the EB13 Samsung upgrade tool for you. Here
It's a one stop shop to rescue your phone in its current condition if you just want stock again. It is Odin, but wrapped within a Windows installer-like UI. This will erase all your data. Once installed, the phone will upgrade to EC05 via over-the-air update.
Stickies! Right on top of Development...how to fix "bricked" Epic....even though they mean sponged.

Tried to flash the MissMe Rom after using the Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo Rom for a couple of weeks. I did a Nandroid Back-up and Wiped the phone and got the message ERROR: couldn't open file... So I then tried to just restore from my Nandroid Back-up I had just done. I then got an error that said: Oops, problem. So I tried selected the reboot phone option and now I'm stuck at the white hTC EVO 4G screen. Can someone help?
Shutdown your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. At the top, you will see either "S-ON" or "S-OFF". Hopefully, it says "S-OFF". Anyway, afterwards, you will be given a set of options. Select recovery and then try to restore your backup. If you still get stuck at the white EVO screen, you may have to flash THIS file for amon-RA recovery. Just place the file on the root of your SD card ( not in any folder ) and then shutdown and restart your computer in the manner I onsricted above. The bootloader should autodetect the file and prompt you to install. Follow the simple prompts to install. After about 10 seconds, installation will be complete. Boot into your new recovery and try to flash a rom.

If you were updating your radios then you're right. You do not pull the battery, however, if you are just changing roms and then get stuck, it shouldn't be a problem. If it has been more than 30 minutes, you might want to take the chance, bur it's your phone and your decision. In any case, you should plug it into a power source before your phone's battery gets too low to even take a charge and if its power get below 35%, you're going to have to wait until it gets above that to even do anything somewhat safely. At your convenience, try my instructions above.

I'm terrified, but yes it has been over 30 minutes, but it has been on charge. When I said it didn't work, I was referring to trying to boot into recovery by holding Vol down and power simultaneously.
And yes I was just trying to flash a new ROM, not update radios.
I am going to try pulling out battery and booting into recovery. Will let u know the outcome.

Okay. Hopefully, all goes well for you. More than likely, you're going to have to go through the bootloader to get to recovery. If push comes to shove, you should try flashing one of the RUU stock roms from a Windows PC.

Wait...Wait...how do u do that? I would love to optimize the ROM
Just download LauncherPro from the Market and install it. When you hit your Home key, you will see 2 launchers of which LauncherPro will be one of them. Select the one you want to use. If you select LP, click Menu and then select Preferences in the bottom center and from there, you can customize LP to your liking.

What file did you flash? Are you looping at the white EVO screen or a rom's splash screen? Can you get to the bootloader and then to recovery? Tell us "everything" you've done, thus far.

Hello all! Noob alert, first post and everything, sorry to bother you.
I'm not sure whether this is the right place to do it, but I couldn't find a solution to this problem by searching the threads, etc, so, I'll try to be brief.
I've been planning to root my phone for a long time, but unfortunately have been blocked by the OTA update I had, until now. And now my beloved phone is stuck in the flickering MIUI load screen.
Steps that led to this point:
* I had the latest OTA update in the phone.
* I backed up stuff, naturally.
* I had ROM Manager installed
* I used aahk to root the phone, that worked out fine.
* I downloaded the MIUI rom for DHD from miuiandroid.com
* I gave ROM Manager root access.
* I restarted to clockworkmod recovery mode, selected fourth(?) option, to install a rom, I chose the MIUI rom, and said yes, I really want to do this, then selected reboot the system now.
* I watched this epidemic for 15 minutes and tried to detach the battery and see what happens. When I started the phone again, it's still doing the same thing.
So, what actually looks like is happening, is MIUI starting, then starting again, and again and again...
Is there anyway to recover from this, or am I a lost case?
Thank you.
yap it is a solution to bring your phone to life just instal the drivers on your pc and download your RUU version , if you have s-off just download the RUU 2.36.405.2 good luck my phone works , if it work give me a thanks
Pull out the battery, put it back in, hold down the volume-down key, hold down the power button, keep them held until you boot back into the bootloader, choose recovery to get back into clockworkmod recovery, wipe system, data, etc and reflash the ROM zip the same way you did first time round.
From your post it doesn't look like you wiped your data partition before flashing your new ROM, so I'd guess that there's some stuff left from your stock install that doesn't play nice with MIUI.

Pull out the battery, put it back in, hold down the volume-down key, hold down the power button, keep them held until you boot back into the bootloader, choose recovery to get back into clockworkmod recovery, wipe system, data, etc and reflash the ROM zip the same way you did first time round.
From your post it doesn't look like you wiped your data partition before flashing your new ROM, so I'd guess that there's some stuff left from your stock install that doesn't play nice with MIUI.

YES!!! Thank you! I figured enough to get to the recovery mode myself, and flash it with cyanogenmod, but it had the same problem, but clearing the /data and /sdcard/.android-sec...... and flashing again after that did the trick! Thank you very much, sir, you just saved my day! A thank you coming up!

And now that you're back .. instead of trying standard MIUI from MIUI.us/miuiandroid.com .. try SCI MIUI or Freshly Squeezed. Better tested, better performance ..

Hey,
Hope you're liking MIUI! I've just went back to it myself. This isn't an advertisement or anything but try 4ext recovery from the market. It's like cwm, but when you select a ROM .zip file when you're on your phone, you can select to use the app 4ext and then it'll give you options like back up, wipe cache, wipe data etc. I use it all the time as I hated pressing the down button in cwm all the time lol. It seems pretty good, and ask others on here. Then you don't need to really do anything, as that boots into recovery, backs up your rom, wipes, installs new rom, and can fix permissions (I do this just incase), then boots your phone again.
But, I don't know if cwm (Clockworkmod) does this, as I haven't used it since I got this. I don't really open rommanager anymore.
But talk to others about it first, as being new to rooting and everything all this may seem a bit over the top or confusing or stuff =) Hope you enjoy miui! Here's a tip, hold the home button on the lock screen for the torch. Handy instead of unlocking the phone, trying to find the app and stuff.
I am in need of some serious help. My AT&T M8 won't boot past the HTC logo screen and won't allow me to go into recovery or the hboot screen. I believe I may have wiped the OS on it; this is the only thing I can think of that makes sense. Furthermore, when I try to power down the device by long pressing the power button, it doesn't respond at all. It just stays on the logo screen. It was so bad that I just left it plugged in overnight and I don't have a clue as to how long it took to power off because I fell asleep before it did. If there's a video tutorial out there that someone has or simply a link that can show me how to install something via backdoor on this device, that would be great!

Recount as best you can, all the steps that got the phone to this point.
What were you trying to do when this happened?
Also, need much more info in order to help:
1) bootloader unlocked?
2) custom or stock recovery
3) custom ROM?
4) what hboot number?
5) s-on or s-off
6) did you make a nandroid with custom recovery?

Hold power and vol up for several seconds to force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons, and just hold vol down. Don't let go until the hboot screen appears.
Thanks already. I didn't realize I had to hold down the volume down button after it goes dark. It got me into twrp. I believe I should be good from here after I download a new rom to sideload. But to give you a run down, I was prepping the phone to sell it by wiping the data and installing the rom the guy said he wanted on it. When I was going thru the normal procedure to install the rom (wipe, flash, etc) that's when the phone started sticking on the logo screen. My assumption was that I downloaded a bad rom, so since then I've been trying to get back into twrp so I can load a new rom and finally was able to after you told me this. I'll report back if a new rom actually didn't help the situation. I only thought I wiped the OS because something similar happened with my Note when I was tinkering and that was the result.

If you need any further help, please answer all the questions I previously asked.
Good luck.

So, it seems I'm still having the problem, even while trying to install cyanogen. Here are the answers to those questions...
1) bootloader unlocked?... YES
2) custom or stock recovery... TWRP
3) custom ROM?... It was a custom AOSP Rom
4) what hboot number?... 3.16.0.0000
5) s-on or s-off... S-OFF
6) did you make a nandroid with custom recovery?... It was erased
Any help you can give from this point would be awesome. Thanks again!

Failure to flash ROMs can often be solved with fastboot erase cache, then install TWRP by fastboot again. Update TWRP version, if you are using an outdated one.
Also, if you try to flash any ROMs based on Sense software beyond version 1.x (huge majority of them are past 1.x at this point) you will likely experience extremely long boot times (10 minutes or more) and broken WiFi due to outdated firmware. But CM should be okay.

It was erased, or you wiped it?
Okay. Do you suggest trying an older sense rom to see if it works? The last time touched the phone was when I picked up my Note 4, so I will look for something that predates that.
As for the nandroid being erased, I can only assume it was my actions that caused it to be deleted, but I don't recall intentionally doing it.

Sure, it couldn't hurt. With your current firmware, you will need a ROM based on 1.x software. There aren't a heck of a lot of those left. But there are a few. GoldenEye is one I can personally vouch for, since I was running it for a while back in the day:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705640
But I would definitely recommend just trying fastboot erase cache and re-install TWRP first. I've lost count how many times suggesting this simple fix has helped other users here on XDA, when ROMs fail to flash.

Fair enough. Just FYI, don't do a factory reset in bootloader (in the OS settings or recovery is OK). On modded phones this may cause the internal storage to become corrupted. Nandroids have sometimes been lost this way. This may or may not be what happened to you. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Also, there has been the occasional occurrence of internal storage being corrupted, possibly by TWRP. It may not even have been something you caused.
