Continuous Bootloop

hello,
I have a boot loop issue going on right now leaving my phone useless at the moment. Here is the issue....
This morning I flashed * update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Supersonic-signed * and proceeded to backup all my apps and system data from a previous Titanium Backup batch backup. During the backup, the phone rebooted and now I'm in a continous bootloop only displaying the white HTC Evo 4G logo. The screen comes on for a few seconds, then turns off and reboots again in a continuous cycle.
I have pulled the battery and held down power and volume down button. In this white boot screen when I try to get into recovery, it goes to the white HTC Evo 4g splash screen and into continuous reboots again.
Here is my set up.

I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root EVO
When plugged into computer, the phone and the computer recognize each other but I cannot see the phone in my computer and also not seen in device manager. I tried this and was unsuccessful... * Stock 3.30.651.2 PC36IMG.ZIP Format *

Anyone know what is going on and how to fix this ?
Thanks

You might have a bad sdcard. Try to see if you can go into recovery.

I had titanium backup restarting my rom.
(My post from when that was happening.
Mine didn't get stuck in a boot loop though.)
Turned out there was a problem with BusyBox Versions.
Boot into recovery,
Restore nand backup,
Get BusyBox Installer from the market
Update to the same version you used to back up with.
Not sure if that will help, but it fixed my reboot issue.
Remember Hold Vol Down THEN press the power button.

I have tried to access Recovery but when I select it, it reboots to the white HTC evo 4g screen and goes back into that continuous screen reboot...essentially going no where towards booting anything.
Armon RA recovery BTW
is there a PC36IMG that I can put on the sd card to boot from? I dont care about having to re-root if necessary.
Thanks

you remembered to wipe your data & cache & dalvik right?
Edit: Sorry I misread your post, try taking out your battery and sitting your phone in front of a fan to cool it off. If that helps odds are you have one of the defective radios and need a new phone.

I have tried 3.30 + Clockwork PC36IMG as described above...no luck.
My computer doesn't recognize the phone via USB. The only thing I can think of is to use HBOOT USB ?
Like I previously mentioned in the first post, everything I try results in that continuous bootloop.
The only thing that has produced some results was an PC36IMG but didn't boot the phone or restore the recovery option.

Dinc wont boot

Recently flash a new rom (done many before) and after rebooting the phone just vibrates 5 times and the led flashes green. It does this going into recovery or normal boot. I can boot into hboot. I updated with latest RUU and it flashed successfully, still does same thing, cant get in recovery or normal, only hboot. Now heres weird thing, I was s-off and now I'm s-on. Soon as i went into hboot to apply ruu i noticed it.
So any thoughts on helping me? Thanks for any help you can give.

Have you pulled the battery and tried turning your phone on? I think this is some sort of diagnostic mode that you're in.

Yep, pretty sure it's qualcomm diagnostics. Battery pull should work.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS5.

Pulled battery about 20 times.

If it were me, think I'd try to run unrevoked3 to make sure I had a good recovery in place, then run unrevoked forever again to get back to s-off. Then flash another ROM.
But that's just me. I'm not a dev. So proceed at your own risk. I'd check some of the precautions on the unrevoked website to be sure I had compatible hboot and radio versions.

Phone wont boot into recovery so I can't flash any roms. I had phone s-off with unrevoked forever but somehow it went back to s-on. I never ran the s-on update. I did reflash the stock RUU 2.2 and it still wont boot. Flashed fine but goes to black screen after the splash screen and just vibrates and greed led blinks.
Does the same thing trying to get into recovery. I can only get into hboot.

You can download a new recovery image at the link below. The link is in the third or fourth post.
Rename it to PB31IMG.zip so you can load thru hboot.

I've got an AMOLED screen so the regular recovery works fine. But since I'm not s-off anymore I don't think I can flash a recovery. I tried the 2.5.0.5 on crack one. I was using 2.5.1.2 before.

I think you only need root to flash a signed recovery image. S-off allows you to flash unsigned images.
The original unrevoked tool just gave us root and recovery, right? Wonder if you can run unrevoked while the phone is at the hboot screen? Maybe you can pm one of the unrevoked devs.

I've had this problem with two phones now... The only savior is to flash s-on while still rooted. Then run the pb31img.zip of the most recent ruu since it is signed you can use it with s-on and you'll be stock, and call for a replacement, you'll get amoled since you bought it with it. I've gone through 7 lol.

Well think I figured it out. Turned it on with the usb-data connected and it booted fine. Pulled usb cable and it rebooted. Testing further it went to a black screen with the 5 vibrates when pulling the usb once. Looks like the usb port is fried.
It boots fine if you dont hookup the usb cable now.

this same thing happened to me twice.. you can sometimes even get it to fully boot and pull power cord and sue the phone, if your lucky. mine was a three vibrate though not 5

[q] evo vibrates 5 times then goes blank

I Bought a evo flashed to boost upon trying to flash back you sprint using the RUU from my PC the phone restarted (on it's own) during the process and the RUU exited. Now my evo wont get passed the white evo screen without vibrating 5 times and going blank. The PC shows android usb devices and htc bootloader in device manager but doesnt show in device or removable storage. i have tried pulling the battery, waiting hour before putting battery back in, cleared storage and I out of idea
any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

If you can boot into the bootloader, try flashing a PC36IMG.zip of the RUU through the bootloader. I don't have one handy, but I'll see if I can find you one.
I'm not sure how flashing to/from Sprint works. Are you trying to unroot? If you are, then you need to flash the unrevoked s-on zip in recovery before running the RUU.

Not good. I had this issue and spent days trying to fix it. Luckily it switched to S-ON so I was able to get it replaced at the sprint store for $35.

if you can use bootloader or recovery i would try flashing the latest sprint radios

Try this if you're unrooting back to stock:

thanks plainjane Im just trying to get my phone in a usable condition w/ sprint at this point whether or not it's rooted or not. but i have downloaded:

PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444-signed
and renamed both to pc36img and still cant get past white evo screen before it vibrates and goes blank and can't get into recovery to flash unrevoke s-on

Can you get into the bootloader by vol down + power buttons until you see the skating androids? I'm assuming so since the info you posted is from the bootloader.
If so, put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your SD and boot into the bootloader. Make sure that it's named correctly & not PC36IMG.zip.zip. By default, you should only see PC36IMG in Windows because extensions are hidden. You'll still be s-off if unrevoked or unrevoked forever was ever used, but you'll have a bootable phone.

i tried the link which provided the 2 PC36IMG zip and followed those directions, but when I flashed the unrevoke s-on zip is aborted b/c it couldn't verify. so now instead of 5 vibrates and blank screen with green flashing light its just rebooting the white htc evo. but something did work b/c now my hboot screen shows

What exactly did it say when you tried to flash the s-on zip? I'm assuming you no longer have a recovery?
If not, here's a PC36IMG of Amon Ra 2.3, try flashing it through the bootloader like you did before. If you can get it to flash, choose no when it asks you to reboot then try to boot into recovery. From there you can try flashing the stock rooted rom. In theory this shouldn't work since if the first PC36IMG took you're not rooted, despite being s-off.
Are you following some kind of guide to flash back to Sprint? Are there any steps following running the RUU that you can do?
Recovery here: http://db.tt/WP0beNa

It couldn't verify the system type in the intial flash but i just used the new recovery and it flashed the unrevoked successfully now my evo shows s-on and its updating to the ruu pc36img now.
the link you sent me too earlier has instructions with it and I'm following those to do the ruu.
thank you very much you have been very helpful
i will post after the update is done to let you know the results

the RUU update has completed and it has rebooted to the white evo screen and has stay for the past 3 or 4 mins

so I pulled the battery and turn it back on and still went through the reboot loop of the white evo screen. Im reinstalled the ruu update as i type right now. and as of now my hboot shows:

finished updating and now when it reboot it just sits in the white htc evo screen

How long do you let it sit at the white screen? Sometimes it can take 15-20 minutes.

oh i only let it sit for 7 minutes or so do i need to reflash and update or just let it sit the next time ?
also when you pulled the battery it would boot to eithewr the 4g screen or sprint screen before it continuiously reboot or reboot to white screen

I honestly don't know the best way to go.
I would try reflashing it and see where it goes from there. If that doesn't work, maybe go into Amon RA and wipe CACHE, DALVIK-CACHE, DATA, BOOT AND SYSTEM. Then try the RUU again.

how would i go about getting to amon ra to wipe said files?

now my evo will start and get all the way to the home screen and then restart i mean its better then nothing but i still dont have anything useable at the moment but thanks to all that have help. i have tried to rerun the ruu through bootloader but still not getting a bootable phone. Would it be possible to root the phone whilst connected in bootloader since im not able to connect through htc sync
Also i no longer have root access

Have you flashed the pc36img of amon ra yet? Then selected the recovery option in the Bootloader, then wiping or flashing? You could also flash the latest sprint radio, prl and pri just to be on the safe side.

i used to be able to flash amon ra not when i use it as pc36img zip it loads then checks the pc36img then back to hboot screen.

What state is your phone in now, s-on, or s-off, its current state, and where you need to go; kinda lost reading through the thread.

Stuck in bootloop/Cant get to recovery

Hi, My problem is as follows:
If i remove battery and put it back and switch on the phone, it will get in a bootloop. I have to wait for around 1 hour so that phone boots normally. I took this opportunity to s-off my phone with revolutionary.
right now, i cannot get to recovery, if i go to recovery and press power button, phone will reboot. I even flashed a stock rom WWE v 2.29
Specs are as follows:
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot 6.93.1002
radio:5.11.05.27
I flashed CW several times through fastboot it says ok but still am stuck in boot loop and cant get recovery.
i went to alpha rev and flashed stock boot image but still not success.
Any help will be highly appreciated
After 1 hour , i can get phone to boot normally. at that time i think i will be able to get an adb shell..if there are any resizing to be done please guide me.

Stuck at Screen with /!\

Hey Guys,
I already searched in the whole forum and tried a lot of different tutorials and stuff but i just can't bring my desire back to life... :crying:
I got it today from a friend and tried to update it and after that it was stuck at the white htc screen and wouldn't boot.
However I wasn't able to get into the recovery mode because the phone would jump back to the white htc screen and freeze (sometimes it would vibrate 7 times)
I then tried to recover it with a ruu but i got an 152 error and now i have the black htc screen with the four /!\ in the edges. I tried different ruus, including some from vodafone (because i wasnt sure if my phone is branded or not) but with the vodafone ruus i get a 131 error (so i guess my phone is not branded). i also tried the 2.3 gingerbread image.
When i try to recover it with the gingerbread image it stops at about 55% at system rewriting (or sth. like that)
When i plug it out after this i get the following stats:

I also get the Error 140 from time to time...
I think i might have to downgrade the hboot, but i don't know how, cause i am s-on and can't get any further than the black htc screen (=fastboot)
i also have the adb toolkit, and i tried to force boot it by the command fastboot oem boot... but it froze at the white htc screen and vibrated 7 times
And i dont have a goldcard...
Can anybody help me with this? if you need more information just ask!

this happened to me...try s-off your device with revolutionary...and then get back to stock hboot from alpharev...and then try gingerbread image to install....
good luck...

Thank you for your reply
How can i s-off the device with revolutionary? it doesnt seem to work in the fastboot screen with the /!\ ??? Revolutionary stucks at "Waiting for device..."

You have a radio brick. Few phones are recovered from this state. The only thing you can do is endlessly flash a RUU hoping that sometime it will succeed.
Try the 2.3 RUU in my sig, or the .exe version of it, or some wwe ruu-s.
//Edit: Post 999

Thanks abaaaabbbb63 for your answer, but i think i might found the first part of the solution
I just stumbled across the "fridge/freezer" method and it worked . Simply put your desire into the fridge until its really cold and the ruu will finish the update. (I think its because the radio gets really hot during updating. For example, the more times you try to update it in a row, the hotter it gets and the sooner the ruu stops)
However, now I'm stuck in an Boot circle. Phone vibrates, green htc logo for a few sec, then black screen and the phone boots again.
But i can get into the boot loader with power and volume-.
Hboot is 1.02.0001
i can go into fastboot, but when i try to get into the recovery mode, the phone is stuck in the boot cycle again.
Anyone some suggestions on how to continue this? I think i need to turn s-off to downgrade the hboot if im right but how?
Update: When i try to do fastboot oem boot via adb, the phone vibrates 7 times in is back in the boot cycle
Update 2: Correct me if I'm wrong but I think i have to set up a custom recovery mode like clockwork via pb99.img, right? However dont have time now, will try it tomorrow...
