Stuck on boot screen :(

I flashed to pays rom, successfully yesterday.
today, i wanted to wipe my phone (entered wrong gmail account so didnt have access to paid apps)
after doing so, ive been stuck in an endless boot screen.
anyone shed some light on the situation?
Oops. I think this happened to some G1 roms too.
Reflash?
the rom was absolutely flawless before this.
ive tried.
with 2 different roms.
wiped everything i possibly can in recovers & fastboot
insult to injury; recovery-windows wont load, so i cant even get past recovery screen.
My mistake. recovery-windows is loading. now flashing. again.
so then, managed to flash some sense based roms alright, until i get past bootloader.
com.android.acore error messages all the time.
loaded nexdesire rom fine with no errors.
ideas anyone?
Out of interest, did you re-partition your SD Card for A2SD at all??
If so... Try re-partitioning it again in recovery mode, but use it all as storage (no ext partition), wipe and re-flash.
I did.
I'll try that now and pray it works
Get in!
Working absolutely fine now

[Q] Help me: Desperate. EVO completely bad.

I rooted my EVO last night and was playing around trying to Unlock NAND and everything went wrong.
My SD card is completely blank. Nothing on it.
Every time I turn on my phone I just get the bootloader.
I have no idea what to do.
Please help.. What do I do?
Give us more details, explaining what you did up to now, then we might be able to help out.

Sorry. I don't really know how or what because I did so much.
I rooted it using a guide I saw in the Development Forum,
but with ROM Manager I could never get CM6 working so I used Revoked to turn S-OFF.
After I did that, Whenever I rebooted, the bootloader would come up and I couldn't actually boot up my phone. I went to recovery to do a factory reset and it still wouldn't boot.
So now my SD card is completely empty, not a single file.
With Bootloader and ClockworkMod recovery.
How do I get my factory default back?
Details are still a bit sketchy to me, but just turn off your phone, remove the SD card and plug it into your computer. Load one of the stock rooted roms on the evo wiki.

Eject it and put it back into your phone. Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, and then install from SD card.
You must have reformatted your SD card when you were messing around earlier.

you should be able to use any rom not just stock. but yea from the sounds of it you formated your sd card your evo is defineatly not completly bad since it boots and gets to the bootloader and recovery there is always hope. Also if you ddint a note for the future ALWAYS nandbackup as soon as you can while everything is working before you change roms etc this way if this happens again in the future you can just nand restore ti back to where you were.

[Q] I need a bit of help

I've search up and down all night looking for a solution for my problem. The other I let my lil cousin play with my phone. Somehow he got into the recovery and started formatting everything. After I found out my sd card was cleared completely I was like "its ok just put the rom back on the sd card and flash it" lets just say it didn't work. Each time it gets stuck at the splash screen. I was thinking maybe the custom splash is locking it up but I'm not sure on what to do. Anyone got any advice on what to do so I can get my phone back up and running?

If it were me ... I would start over, reflash the recovery image, do a complete wipe, and flash a full rooted rom/radio image. Once everything is back working, update profile, prl, and then move on to your custom rom of choice.
i've re-flashed the recovery image and everything
I've tried flashing Synergy but just isn't happening. Could the custom splash be effecting it?
So after a while messing with i stuck my ad card in my friends hero to see if the data,android.secure file etc etc would have any effects but nope

When you wiped, did you use something like Calkulin's "format all" zip? If you already did that then I would try going back to a stock splash image. Perhaps something went wrong with the splash image install.
Grab one of these PC36IMG.zip here and put it on your SD card.
It contains the stock splash screen and will basically RUU you. You will still have S-Off. Just get the one that corresponds with your HBoot. Then try reflashing recovery and wiping everything 3 times and flashing the ROM of your choice.

Problem with getting into recovery!

Okay guys..First I would like to say that I am an avid viewer here and am pretty addicted to this site and come here everyday. Quick question though to anyone that can help me out. Today I decided to upgrade my Miui Rom on the Incredible 2. After it downloaded I went into recovery to install the new rom but forgot to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Next, after it booted up to boot animation it immediately went into bootloops over and over again and would not get past it no matter how long I waited. Finally, I turned off my phone and went into recovery and here's the kicker. I updated the radio previously, left it on my sd card, and when I went I tried to get to recovery all it does is update the radio again then tell me to reboot the phone, which it will not reboot. Is there anyway anybody knows how to delete the radio update from my sd card? or anyway around this so i can access recovery? Thanks in advance.

What you wanna do, is take out the SD card, and boot into bootloader. Scroll down to recovery and right as your splash screen comes up, put it back in. Once recovery comes up, you should be good. It happened to me that's why I know. Lol

[Q] Phone won't boot; recovery and factory reset get stuck at splash screen

My Incredible is running CM7 with ClockwordMod and was having many force close problems and the only solution seemed to be to do a factory reset or try getting a backup from recovery. When I tried recovery however, the phone got stuck on the HTC Incredible white screen and never did anything else. I took out the battery and tried factory reset, this produced the same result. I tried starting up the phone at that point again and when it got to the skateboarding android splash screen, it kept freezing and starting the animation over again. I am fine just doing a wipe through the USB if that's possible but I don't know how that is done. Thanks in advance for any help.
Me Too
I am having the same exact issue. If anyone knows how we can possibly fix our phones it would be much appreciated!
For now I have just switched to the Droid OG and waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to come out so I can upgrade.
I would really love to have my DInc back though.
Help! Please?
Try reformatting your sdcard make sure you choose FAT32 format. Just copy everything from your card to you pc, format the card and copy everything back on to you card. This has worked for me before. CM7 is codependant with your sd card and this has work for others as well.

Unfortunately it did not work. Still the same thing when I try and boot the phone up again.
Do you know what specific files that I need on the SD Card to boot my CM7? I could try and just keep them on there and clean out the rest of the information.
Flash latest clockwork recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. You can get the files here.
