Hi all. I do not post much on here and am relatively new with this so please bear with me if it is in the wrong forum and if I explain something that is worded incorrectly.
I rooted my phone following the 2 part video series I found on here and all was going well until I tried to place the following theme on it:
[THEME] MattedBlues - CM 6.0.0 and Sense 2.2 Versions *UPDATED 09/13/2010*
I rebooted after flashing it through the recovery screen and cannot get it to boot into the home screen at all. As stated in the title, I see the Sprint splash screen and then the 4G screen to start. It then sits there for a few seconds and then starts back at the Sprint splash screen again.
Any help would be appreciated as to what I can do to get back to where I was and also possibly tell me what I may have done wrong to cause this.
Thanks in advance!

You need to pull the batter hold down the volume button and hold the power boot into recovery. Go to USB mode copy over another ROM and reflash. OR restore the backup you should have performed before you flashed the theme being new I doubt you did this step.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, you are right...being a noob I did not do the backup but believe me once I get this back up and running, that will be the first thing I do!
About your other suggestion, I tried to reflash with the unrevoked-forever and it still keeps doing the same thing. Should I wipe the cache out and reflash or is that not the problem here? Also, what other ROM would you suggest to be a good starter for someone new such as I am?
Thanks again!
Well, I decided to do a data wipe and reflash with a different Rom and it is now working.
Thanks!

I installed a new rom that I ended up not liking as much as I thought I would so I restored to the nandroid backup I had previously made. Now when I turn the phone on it gets stuck at the white "htc Incredible" screen. I have pulled the battery and can get into recovery but when I try to turn it on normally it does not work. Anybody know how I can fix this?
Go into recovery, which you say you can do, and try your nandroid restore again. If that fails, it may be a corrupt nandroid. Worst case, wipe clean and flash the previous ROM that you know works and rebuild your apps and data.

Thank you very much. I could not restore to the backup I had made and I never thought to just go back to the rom I had on the SD card. Thank you.
Not trying to threadjack here but I have mostly the same problem so I thought I would just add it here. I was flashed Ruby 2.02 ROM and was just setting things up when my phone rebooted it would not get past the htc incredible splash screen so I read to pull the battery and try to reboot into recovery. When I tried to reboot into recovery my phone just vibrated 3 times then went dead. Did my phone just get bricked or what? ANY help would be awesome!

Can you still get to recovery now? If so, you are probably ok.
I am able to get into recovery but if I try to reboot from there it is still stuck at the splash screen. I think my sd card is not working right now, so I am not able to flash anything. Is my only solution a factory reset?

You need to boot recovery, wipe and flash a known working rom and start completely over. You really need to get a working card.
Well I flashed one and the problem didn't change so I am now flashing an older one of a different ROM that I hope will work.

complete wipe???
Good news!! The second backup I flashed worked! I think I should be okay for now, thanks for the help userjf.
Hi I'm having an issue with my Evo. It's rooted through unrevoked3 I tried flashing a file that was supposed to up the battery voltage to overclock the processor. Unfortunately I'm a noob and more than likely did this wrong now the phone won't load past the "HTC Evo 4g" loading screen. I can access the bootloader but anytime I choose recovery it goes to a sceen with a pic of the phone and a caution symbol over it. When I press the vol up + vol down + pwr it brings me to rexovery options. Last twist I swear, that screen only stays up for 2 or 3 seconds then blank screen and stuck on the "HTC Evo 4g" basically the only file I can seem to get to run on this is PC36IMG.zip unfortunately it doesn't seem to help. I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter, thanks
(FYI very new to this so any extra tips would be great as well)
Place on the root of your sdcard, do not rename or extract it, boot into bootloader, apply the update and reboot, reboot into the bootloader and go into recovery, and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. That symbol you saw was you were trying to go into recovery, and you did, just no recovery image was loaded.
Thanks
thank you that worked and I can get to the recovery now. I hate to ask because im sure this is a noob question but kinda nervous about what rom to use in recovery to stop the boot loop... any suggestions?
Not a noob question, but bootlooping is typically caused by flashing and a proper wipe wasn't done. If you want AOSP, I recommend CM7/Destroyer [based off of CM7]. For sense, Myn, King's Ultra have high reps. Always wipe your cache, factory/data, and dalvik before installing a new rom.
Edit: having deja vu about reading and replying to this exact thread.
If Thas a noob question then I hate to see what they would say if they read my question I just posted...lol about ignoring nice loads etc...
Gees!!! Lol

Hi Friends,
I did a lot of searching and tried a bunch of things, but I am not very successful. Can you experts please tell me if my EVO is dead/gone for good?
Symtoms:
My Evo was charging (it was rooted and S-Off), I took the charger cable off, and the phone rebooted.
It went to the White HTC Evo screen that comes before any ROM boots, and basically looped their infinitely.
Since then, the symptoms have switched back and forth from Bootloops on the white screen OR STUCK on the white screen, infinitely.
Currently, I am getting white screen boot loops
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared Storage (via Bootloader/Fastboot)
2. Chose "Recovery" from Bootloader/Fastboot (nothing happens, reboots and stuck on the white screen or loops)
3. Reverted back to S-ON
4. Flashed other Recovery zips
5. Upgraded the Fastboot version
6. Flashed the RUU
Current Situation:
Nothing changed guys... and after the RUU flash (out of which the Radio flash was the only component that FAILED) my PC31IMG.zip files are no longer being promoted for updates in my Fastboot/Bootloader menu.
While the reboots continue on the white screen...
Can't access Recovery
Can't run PC36IMG.zips anymore
Am I done here guys, or is there still anything I can do to save my EVO?
Appreciate ALL your help!
Man I have the same problem execept I'm not rooted or s off if you change the battery and let it sit for awhile off it will turn on but it will reboot in about 5 mintues then get stuck on the sprint 4g screen of the htc screen
Hey theneguy,
Thanks for your response... My phone was rooted, but is now S-On and Unrooted, I believe (I can't tell because I am not able to get in the OS).
I can't get into Recovery and my PC31IMG is not being read now...
Any ideas, friends?

same thing happened to my son, pulled sd card and it would boot fine, found and deleted a corrupt .img file on sd...all is fine
Latest Update guys:
I tried flashing the RUU via HBoot/Flashboot, and the update failed, but the progress bar at the screen was full/successful. The on-screen wizard tried to take me to the "Recovery" steps, nothing was fixed.
The computer wizard was stuck at: Sending Signature....
And the phone had the full progress bar from the previous flash.
So I yanked the battery out, cause I had no options left.
Well, needless to say, now, NOTHING turns on. The phone doesn't charge, and blah, blah, blah.
So guys, can someone give me a verdict... is my EVO done for good?
Thanks for your help.
I can't get in the recovery eather I tryed pulling the sd card out it is still doing the same thang

It should be PC36IMG not 31.

Thanks Mark,
But I don't think it matters anymore... I think with the battery pulled out after a failed RUU.exe installation has truly bricked my phone for good.
It doesn't charge, the battery was good, NOTHING lights up, and I just think it's game over...

I think you're right...
hi guys,
as the title states no matter what i do i cannot get my hox to boot past the splash screen. The phone has been completely discharged for a good 12 hours (due to not having a cable handy) i have htc dev unlock and clockwork installed.
if anyone could help id really appreciate it
Have you tried getting into hboot (power phone off, then hold down VolDown, and then power it on)? If you're able to do that, and if you have a custom recovery installed, it might be worth trying a cache wipe.
Also, a little bit of background will definitely help. Did you do something right before it started bootlooping, like flashing a new kernel?

This morning I was using font installer to change my system font . I guess somewhere along the way something got messed up because when I went to reboot it gets to the boot animation and turns off. Not exactly a boot loop but useless anyway. I could just go into recovery and reflash. The problem is I can't get the phone into recovery. I use TWRP. I hold volume up and down and power, the TEAM Win blue screen and logo comes up but then what do I do? If I keep holding it down then it just goes into that mode where it vibrates every second and nothing happens.if I let go then the blue logo screen goes away and it tries to boot up normally again. What am I missing here? Why can't I get into recovery so I can reflash... Thanks for all Your help guys!
have you tried using adb commands? Also if you have not gotten into recovery as of now you just have to keep trying with the vol and power key buttons you will get it.
ADB choices
Plug phone into pc and type adb reboot recovery and hope for the best
I think you might be able to reflash/reinstall the recovery using adb commands and that might work too. Worst comes to worst, you could try using ODIN to restore your recovery or whole phone, but you'll probably lose anything not on SD.
And I haven't used font installer in ages, but I had issues with it on my SGSII because I think it flashes system files; I know it doesn't help now, but I'd stick to using font apks, since our phones support that.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my Galaxy S2.
Sometimes this happens with fonts that are not designed for whichever version of android you are running. Its not all of them believe me, as well as this is honestly an easy fix. This is why I believe in knowing everything about your phone prior to doing stuff to it and knowing how to escape 90% of the issues that may come your way.
Thanks alot. the annoying part is that TWRP blue screen comes up but nothing happens. It just kinda flashes like a crt tv off and then goes into the vibrate every second thing. I typically do alot of reading and research prior to doing anything and I used to use the font app before on the HD2 so I was suprised this happened. I guess you live and learn. I just thought that was one of the benefits of having a recovery so you Could fix stuff like this. it doesn't help if you Can't even get into recovery. I never had this problem with Cwm Recovery.
I got it to work! I guess it's all about the timing for when to release the buttons to get into recovery. I flashed the rom back and all is well. Or at least getting there. Thanks everyone for the help. Hopefully this thread will help someone else in the future. Lesson Learned: Don't give up on trying to boot into recovery. It will work. You just have to release the power and volume button at just the right time to get everything going. Lesson 2: Don't use the font installer app....
