i need step by step help getting my evo back to out of the box settings, anyone have any ideas?
1 - What did you do?
2 - Read about what you did and how to undo it.
3 - Return to step 1
Is the phone rooted? If so and you have Clockwork Recovery or ROM Manager w/ it then turn the phone off, turn it on (holding power button and down volume button to get into boot, go into recovery.
In recovery you'll see some options for wipe data/factory reset. Also, may want to wipe the cache then go into advanced and wipe Delvik Cache.
This is from memory... soo I suggest searching the net specifically youtube or Google videos for reseting the phone back to stock. There are hundreds of videos and even more information which can be found online.
If you're not rooted, I unfortunately don't know the process the reset the phone is.

Try:
1) Download stock ruu
2) Run stock ruu
The only one I've seen is the previous update so you'll need to do another flash ota to get current.

Ok, I rooted my evo and tried some different roms. Couldn't find what I wanted so I wanted to go back to the one I started with on my first try. Long story short, I reflashed it and now I have a lock screen, but nothing else. Evidently fastboot is on, because I canter in to try anything else. Can't get a menu or anything. Just a bunch of force close notifications and an HTC screen. Please help!!!!
Did you try pulling battery and holding both the lower volume button and power until recovery menu(hboot) comes up?
fastboot is on, so it just boots to lock menu. I can receive a call, though.
Yeah, have you tried going to recovery via boot, wiping caches and rebooting? Or if that fails, wipe caches (and data if flashing a different ROM), reflash your ROM and then reboot?
Did this happen on a nand restore, or a ROM flash?

it was on a rom flash. I think i forgot to wipe everything before flashing. I cant get into the recovery or boot menu. Fastboot is on, so it just boots up. Unless there is another way besides holding vol down and power button.
You need to go to settings -> applications -> development settings and disable the fast boot option in order to let you phone do a full reboot.
Alternately, pull the battery out. Put the battery in. Hold down volume down while pressing the power button. Select recovery from the HBOOT menu.
Alternately, in the rom you should have an option to factory reset the device, which will wipe user data.
Edit: It may be settings -> applications and then disable the fast boot option. It's been a long time since I was on sense.
thats what im getting at, i cant get into anything except power menu to turn off phone. It will redeive a call, but nothing else. When i unlock, all i get is an htc screen with a picture of the evo and a bunch of force clse notifications. I cant turn off fastboot. Anyone have any other ideas.
I think I'm screwed!!!!!!
deleted cuz im an idiot and didnt see you couldnt get into recovery at all

Pull battery out insert battery power button + volume down. Pulling out the battery stops fastboot from letting it boot up normally. Pulling the battery stops the fastboot being on affect

+1, hence post 2.
Ok, well pulling the battery worked. Now, so I don't have another heartattack. Wipe the cache, wipe the dalvik cache, what else before I flash another Rom? Thank you cookbook much.

Uhm, long story short My Evo crapped out on me with the endless booting. Now before I get trolled. Yes, I have research this issue for several days now yielding little to no results. I went from only seeing a black screen to the constant reboot after the "drag to unlock screen". The phone has a mind of its own only working when ever it wants to. But after a reboot or a battery pull the cycle begins again until it decides that it wants to run again. So the cards are on the table, I'm up for any suggestions, tips and so what you want to throw at me.
What I've done:
flashing the RUU as a .exe as well as .zip file
OTA Update (gave me the black screen)
Thanks, Don
boot into recovery and wipe all the data then install the rom again?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I was NOT rooted. But, I tried that through the stock recovery (holding volume down+ power through the recovery screen) ANd nothing. Same results.This phone will not defeat me!!
I don't know if this would help. I found this thread:

You could download the PC36IMG zip and use the bootloader to restore the phone.
If you are not on Sprint, you could do a search for a stock unrooted ROM for your carrier.
Ok if your not a rooted user, which as you say your not, hold your volume button down and power button (after you remove your battery and put it back in), then let go when your screen turns on. You should be at a recovery, find factory reset. All this will do is put your phone back to factory defaults. All your contacts are automatically on your gmail, and will sync to your phone as soon as you sign in with it after your factory reset

Tried this too. I ended up rooting it yesterday using the revolutionary method, hoping that flashing a custom rom could possibly fix the corrupted file or w.e could be causing this, but nothing. This is ridiculous, is it possible that it could be a hardware defect?? If I ever get it booted again, ill post the hardware specs.
Thanks once again,Don.
Update:
currently I managed to get Myn's twopointtwo ROM functioning properly for the time being at least.
Software:
android 2.2
baseband 2.15.00.05.02
kernel 2.6.32.17
hardware 003
I have a Wildfire S someone was just looking to get rid of. I'd like to try and set this up for my son to use, but it has a lock screen code and I've no way of directly contacting the previous owner.
I'd like to know the easiest way to just wipe the phone and factory reset it so I can try it out and see if it's going to work for me. I may try rooting/ROMing later, but right now I just want to wipe all their data etc. and just get it back to a factory reset state. If the easiest way to get this thing wiped is to root it and install a ROM I'd be find with that as well. (I don't have any experience tinkering with HTC phones).
Thanks for any help. I tried searching and wasn't able to find anything and there's no stickies I could find on the subject (If I missed an obvious guide I apologize).

you can directly factory reset it.
remove battery and again install it.then hold volume down and power button.
then you can see bootloader menu,and with help of volume keys select factory reset option and press power button.it might help to reset your phone directly.

Awesome - thanks - I was trying holding down Vol Up and Vol Down + PWR which is the way it's always been with Samsung phones.
Hello XDA community.
I need your help guys :/
So I purchase an S6 Edge Plus from someone who said they tried to root it but failed. Now it is either stuck on the TMOBILE Logo forever, or the Starting Apps. I restored with odin with this
Version : G928TUVU2COJ5_G928TTMB2COJ5_G928TUVU2COJ5_HOME.tar.md5
But the same thing happens. Now, I was told to flash Arter Kernel, so i downloaded it and managed to flash a Recovery + Kernel + Super SU 2.46 via ADB push command when in the recovery.
(Kernel I used : arter97-kernel-g928tw8-4.1.zip)
(Recovery: twrp-2.8.7.1-noblelte.img.tar AND arter97-recovery-g928tw8-11.0-philz_touch_6.59.0.tar.md5)
Same thing happens where if i flash it I get Starting Apps 1 of 1 stuck. I've tried this on the phone for 2 hours at one point connected to charger and no luck...
Not sure about what messing around with EFS or what not the previous owner might have done? (I have a Z3X box if that helps at all)
Please help I want my Baby back and working
Any help would be appreciated!!!
:crying:

Try flashing the lastest firmware for our device in odin - G928TUVS2COKC
- after its finished completely in odin, force reboot into recovery/ volume down + power + home button, when screen goes black, quickly hold volume up + power + home and it will boot into stock recovery. ... Factory reset and wipe cache! Reboot and you should be good to go

Only other thing i can think of is, install twrp from odin, boot into recovery and do a full wipe in advanced wipe / system/ data and both caches and then format data in the other advanced wipe option...Then reboot into download and start over with above instructions in odin!

Sadly no i didnt. I paid someone to try to fix it and it didnt end up working. Ppl are saying something with EFS? When i wipe it via recovery says
Unable to mount /preload??
same thing happened to my phone.
wow, I am so depressed.
did all the suggestions, but still stuck at t-mobile logo.
what shall i do? I am so sad...
Loaded G928TTMB6ERH1
Stock on T-Mobile. Nothing seems to be working/ reset and wipe not helping.
Anyway to completely reformat unit ? I am talking about re-partition, certificate, Sboot, boot , recovery and system. Whole thing so thing is like brand new.
Anyway to do it ?
Since the update my galaxy z fold 3 doesn't play sound full screen or I cant hear anything out of my speakers unless I fold the phone anyone know how to fix this I installed the Software again and it didn't work I'm completely clueless on this factory reset it and nothing I know its a software error also when i open the phone the screen sometimes is just pure black any ideas or suggestions id greatly apricate it
Try this:
Clean cache in recovery modeTo clean the cache in Recovery mode, follow the steps below:
Power OFF the phone
Press at the same time Volume up + power button
release the volume button when your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 vibrates
Navigate with the volume buttons, find Wipe Cache Partition , confirm with the power button
Choose Yes
Then find Reboot system now
This is where you can do a factory reset as well (Wipe Data). However, I would start with wiping the Cache (twice) and see how things work. Last resort, Wipe Data and reset, but be sure to back everything up!
^ Try that suggestion first. It's meant to reset everything so the phone starts fresh, like out of the box.
If that doesn't work, reach out to Sammy/your carrier about the warranty.
