do a hard reset, hold vol down and the power button to bring up hboot, and use vol down to scroll to clear storage and press the power button

I installed an a2sp through the bootloader which i downloaded through an external link (not a good idea) then wen it restarted it just locked on the o2 splash screen, but any way i have since downloaded De-Lite rom and successfully installed Phewwwwww.
By the way that was my first rom change aswell so i was ****ting my pants but i had nothing to loose as my phone was ****ed anyway lol
Thanks Guys
Guess you didn't use a ext partition and thus got a bootloop. Good luck with your new Rom.

Things I can do:
- Get to bootloader screen
- Plug in USB, pop in batter and get to fastboot USB (PC detects "Android 1.0" at this point but can't find a driver for it).
- Attempt to load ESPRIMG.zip from root of sdcard but always get "Main version is older!" and "update failed!" followed by a prompt to reboot device.
Things I can't do:
- Boot up the phone past the splash screen
- Go into recovery/fastboot; recovery dumps me to the splash and hangs there and fastboot just brings me right back to the bootloader menu.
Phone was working a few hours ago and then when I powered it down it never made it back past the splash screen.
Am I screwed?

Delete ESPRIMG.zip from your sd card. It tries to load it every time you start up.
That happened to me before and I didn't know what was going on lol.
It wasn't on there before I put it there. I was trying to get it back to the factory image. Whenever I went to the boot screen it was always looking for ESPRDIAG.zip or ESPRIMG.zip. If I delete it, nothing new happens, still hangs.
/bump
Still stuck. :/
Hmm odd situation.I no I had a problem but I left it on the splash screen for about five minutes and it finally booted you can try leaving it there and see of it eventually boots but if it takes 10 minutes plus then forget it. Though idk why you can't boot into recovery. when you have it plugged into your computer does adbe recognize it? Maybe you can do something with adb

Adb only sees the phone if its in recovery or fully booted. I'm pretty sure fastboot.exe is what is used to debug fastboot and earlier boot stages.

You're hijacking a thread, you should make your own. Simple answer to your question though; reflash a rom in recovery. If you need more info make your own thread.

I didn't have ESPRING.zip to begin with since I deleted it after rooting. So I download the stock ESPRING and ran it through Bootloader. It prompted me to update so I did.
After the update finishes it asks me to reboot. So I do and then I'm stuck on the splash/boot screen again.
When I first rooted I deleted the expressimg.zip and left the update.zip (recovery) just incase something like this happened ...
Boot up using power + volume down then its gonna try to look for espressimg.zip ...it will tell you its not found..then use the volume button to go to recovery..push power to select then its gonna take you to the screen with the red triangle/exclamation mark screen ..press and hold power and volume up for a little (if it doesn't work keep tryn till you get the stock blue recovery to pop up)...the stock recovery will pop up..then it will prompt you to apply update. Zip from sd card (clockwork recovery) ..select it and you should be in clockwork ...then do what you gotta do...
Its happened to me a few times and this always does the job
Hope this helps if not I'm sorry and keep tryn
You HAVE to have update.zip (clockwork recovery) on your SD card..(not in any folders, on the root of the card) in order for this to work!!!
If you don't have it push to SD card via adb

It's my understanding that without having the security off on our phones, the espresso recovery is not modifiable. What this essentially means is that, either the recovery should be there and fine (and by "fine" I mean, you get a triangle with an exclamation mark in it) because no ROM can currently touch it.
Me thinks that, if you are not able to get to the stock recovery (not Clockwork, but the basic, bare bones one) than your phone is probably having bigger issues. I would test this by doing the following:
1. Boot into the boot loader (I believe it's power and Volume Down at the same time when the device is turned off).
2. Wait for the device to finish it's grumblings (if you have the ESPER.IMG file on there, I think it actually checks it and even asks if you want to install it -- if it does, say no).
3. Select the option for recovery (with the volume keys).
4. I think it's power again to execute the option.
If you get to a nice black screen with a picture of your phone on there with a red triangle, then your phone is in business. We can probably convince it to behave. If that far doesn't go, me thinks something is wrong with the bits of your phone that current ROM modders can't write to...

Hm... Does your Slide have a 0 on the keyboard or a 0 with a line through it (where the 0 key actually is)? I know this sounds like an odd questions, but bear with me for a moment...
For the first however many months, Slides could be rooted by fooling the thing into booting a modded Clockwork Recovery and then gaining root that way. All the work had to basically be done while in recovery (unlike the exploid method). The newer Slides, from what I understand, no longer have that flaw and the method doesn't work.
This method (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1856-rooting-the-slide/page__p__17094#entry17094) (sorry have no idea where Eugene's copy of this has gone in the dev section).

Hey,
thanks for the help. I just have a problem.
I can't get to recovery. When I do, it goes to the T-Mobile splash screen. I do have update.zip and ESPRING.zip in the root of my SD card, but I don't have exspressimg.zip. However, I don't think it matters since I can't get into recovery.
I also tried using a different update.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Espresso with no luck.

ESPRIMG.zip is what I meant lol sorry
And no it doesn't matter.... does this happen when you select "recovery" from fastboot? Or when youre on the red triangle/exclamation point screen? you shouldn't be taken to the tmo splash screen...don't hold power and vol up for too long cuz it will reboot the phone and take you to splash screen (maybe that's what ur doing)
If you're in the red triangle screen hold power and vol up for no more then one second..keep pushing till the blue stock recover pops up

I'm pretty worred right now, I've got clockworkmod installed (
Can somebody please tell me how to get into clockwork recovery before I have a panic attack.
Turn off phone, hold down power+volume down+up+camera button then scroll with your volume keys to recovery. Then restore a backup if possible.

Pull the battery, put it back in press volume down +power, it will boot into Hboot, then use volume to scroll down and select recovery, then restore a backup or flash another rom. The post two up from mine is telling you press all the buttons at once and is wrong.
What you are seeing is what happens when you press volume up+power.

Above where it says FASTBOOT and such, there should be some other identifying information. It will say S-ON or S-OFF. However, if you used AAHK, you should be S-OFF. What happens if you say no to the update and choose RECOVERY? (Use volume keys to move up and down.) Does ClockworkMod start?

After you refuse the update, try to navigate to RECOVERY. If that works, you can then flash your ROM from inside CWM Recovery. It could just be a bad flash. If that still doesn't work, the download is probably bad. Just redownload it and reflash.

My bad, I forgot that happens. Hey, don't worry. If I can't get it working, there's hopefully someone here who can.
Try moving that zip off the sdcard root. You should be able to do that with adb, which you should have with AAHK. ADB instructions are at the thread in my signature. Or, if you have an sdcard reader, use the to get the zip moved off the sdcard root. Place it in a folder in the sdcard.

I'm being startlingly stupid. Try removing the sdcard altogether and boot into HBOOT. After it boots, replace the sdcard and boot into recovery. Does that work? From there, you should be able to move the zip.

I think moving update.zip will at least help you figure out whether you have a working recovery. I'm not sure if you're getting into recovery; if you aren't, try booting into recovery before inserting the sdcard, then mounting it in recovery if it doesn't do so automatically.

Just so I'm clear. You're rebooting while holding power+volumedown without sdcard, getting into HBOOT, and selecting RECOVERY. It then goes to the HTC splash screen and fades to black. Is that accurate? You're never getting into recovery?

When i used the hack kit. It was fine, i was on a higher software version, so i used the hack kit to downgrade, then used it again, and did everything, set the phone up, installed clockwork mod, then downloaded a rom in the original post, then went to update. seemed to update fine, after the rom installed it said press install success, press power to reboot. then thats it!

I should have asked this first. I just assumed that since he was S-OFF and had gotten into CWM that AAHK ran fine. Sorry about that, OP.

Teichopsia's right, then. You need to flash a new custom recovery.

I got all the way to flash a new ROM in clockwork mod, then i got to the very end, said reboot now. I did now it hangs on the HTC screen, then vibrates once, then fahes into a dark brown screen, then just a black screen.

I had me phone sitting beside me. I had just turned off the screen. Then it randomly started bootlooping. I can get into the recovery screen ( Fboot, Hboot, Recovery, Etc... ) I think it might be the power button some how?? It doesn't boot loop until I turn on the phone. I've tried different batteries. Got any ideas??

Hahahha,you made my day bro,thats the bootloader,see if you can access the recovery from there,if not,guess its time to start over and you might as well do it right,unless you have already done,what im about to show you....
<<<<Takes a breath.....Ok go here and read the whole OP,then go here and read the instructions and partition your sd card.Then go here and install DT's ap2sd.Download the recovery here and the rom of your choice.Boom!

Have you tried installing a new recovery? I recommend downloading SmelkusMod Recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543. Download a zip version such as PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-aokp.zip to your computer, rename the file to PC36IMG.zip (watch out for Windows hidden extensions), copy PC36IMG.zip to the root folder of your EVO 4G's sdcard, and power the phone off. Then simultaneously press and hold the volume down and power buttons until the bootloader starts, allow the bootloader to scan for updates, and press volume up to confirm that you want to install the updated recovery.
