Cannot reboot phone - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently ran an update for the CyanogenMod. It was the most recently nightly update (12/6) and when it finished the phone restarted into the ClockworkMod Recovery mode. I tried to restart the phone, but it booted to the bootloader. Now no matter what I do I cannot get the phone back into the OS, just the Clockwork Mod Recovery mode or the bootloader. I have tried running a nandroid, but it fails.
EDIT: I figured out that the only part of the nandroid that is not working is the boot section. I can run the restore of every other part just fine, but the boot is the only one that fails each time.

try flashing a different rom but don't forget to wipe tho..it might help

Tried to flash to the new Warm TwoPointTwo rom. Didn't work. Still only loads to bootloader/Clockwork.

[Q] root evo from 2.1 (02/11/11)

My phone reboots before the rom loads, I rooted my evo using the unrevoked method and everything was fine until it started to reboot on its own. I, however, messed up and ran an older pc36img.zip so it unrooted me to 2.1 (2.1 does not reboot in other words its stable) thats not where the problem is at, when i do the over the air updates and get to 2.2 it reboots again and i would just take it to sprint but the s-off is my problem. What can I do fix the reboot or show s-on?
Almost sounds like a boot loop. If you can still boot into recovery, do a full wipe, then reflash a rom. That should help.

no I tried that same thing happened now the issue is that I'm unrooted so there is no recovery and when i get to 2.2 thru over the air updates I'm stuck in a boot loop
Flash a custom rom and radios
Thanks guys but i found out that the reason it was stuck on boot loop was because of the memory card. I turned it on with out the memory card and it was fine I put it back in and back to the loop, so now I reformatted the card and everything seems fine.

[Q] Phone reboots, doesn't get pass boot animation

So I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus that I purchased last December, the phone is currently unlocked and has a custom recovery and custom ROM. This morning after I was downloading some applications after a fresh install of CM 10, it suddenly turned off and rebooted. I thought it was okay at first until it couldn't make it pass the middle the boot animation and started to reboot again. I then went into clockwork recovery and factory reset and installed my restore file, didn't work. I tried to install another ROM, same problem, it didn't work again. I'm at a lost, I don't know what to do and what is wrong with my device.

as long as you can get in to download mode or fastboot you can either use odin to flash back to stock or push the factory image via fastboot. i have a cdma gnex and i can find my odin images in that forum so you should be able to find the same in the gsm forum, or the stock images directly from google.

[Q] Recovery Stuck on Canadian Note 3 SM-9000W8

I have a real frustrating problem with my Canadian Rogers Note 3. I'm rooted and running CM11, but I was looking for a ROM that might be more stable than the nightly builds. I wanted to try a TW-based ROM so I downloaded BobCat, JediElite, and FireNote ROMs.
I copied the ROMs to the SD card, booted into CWM Recovery and tried flashing one of them (don't remember which). The installation seemed to go fine, no error messages or warnings. But when I finished and rebooted the phone just stopped at the Note 3 boot screen. No boot animation, no loading, nothing.
I went back to CWM Recovery, tried the other two ROMs, and got the exact same results. Then I tried flashing the stock Rogers Note 3 ROM. CWM refused to flash it and spat out some garbage about a corrupt zip file (re-downloaded it with the same results). I eventually gave up and restored the CM11 image I'd backed up.
At this point I began to reason maybe CWM wasn't suited to installing TW ROMs, so I decided I needed TWRP instead. Goog.Im and TWRP manager both refused to install TWRP however. So I dropped the TWRP Recovery zip on my SD card and tried flashing it using CWM.
Here’s where it gets really freaky. When my phone rebooted I got a "recovery booting" message, but the recovery never loaded. The screen just froze at the Note 3 logo. If I pulled the battery the phone would again display "recovery booting" and sit there endlessly. The only way I could break the cycle was booting to Download Mode, then exiting so it enters a normal ROM boot.
I let the phone boot up fully and then opened ROM Manager. It showed TWO recoveries installed, one CWM and one TWRP, apparently side by side. Is this even possible???
So anyway, I went back to playing around between ROM Manger, Goo.Im, and TWRP Manger, trying to re-flash it to either CWM or TWRP, but not both. Nothing worked; every time I tried booting to recovery the system would hang at the “recovery booting” message.
I eventually tired of this and decided to get out Odin. I flashed TWRP Recovery successfully (according to Odin), but it still won’t launch. I then tried flashing CWM Recovery with the same results.
So completely out of options, I tried flashing the stock Samsung Recovery. It boots just fine. So I try again flashing the custom recoveries, but they still refuse to launch. Each time I have to reinstall Samsung Recovery.
And that’s where I am currently: I have a (badly) working CM11 nightly ROM on my phone. I have the stock Samsung Recovery installed. I’m afraid to try flashing any zips using Samsung Recovery because my backup image was created using CWM, and if I can’t get CWM recovery to work I won’t be able to restore the backup.
Have I broken some law of the universe by trying to go from CWM to TWRP? Would TWRP work better with TouchWiz ROMs? And can I even install TouchWiz ROMs after hacking my phone to CM11 nightlies? Lastly, how can I get this $#@& Samsung Recovery off my beautiful phone and install a working custom recovery?

My phone won't wipe nor flash a new rom/recovery

Hi there. Here I have my t989 with stable cm11 by Sultanxda and twrp 2.7.0.0 installed.
Everything was fine until I wanted to try 5.0.1.
I got into twrp and did the usual wipe and install ParanoidAndroid 5.0. It failed.
Ok stuff happens so I just went restore my backup no big deal.
Now when I reboot back my phone looks as it were before BUT it reboots after 2-3 minutes in every time it boots back up.
So I thought the power button has problem but soon I figured it is not because my phone won't self reboot in recovery and download mode.
I went back to twrp and try to wipe it clean and install cm11 instead of restoring to my previous backup.
Wipe says successful, install says successful, reboot system. And only to find myself still in my old Rom and nothing was wiped.
All my apps are still there blahblahblah. I tried to update my twrp through twrp manager but phone reboot before it finishes installing.
I grab my odiin and try to update recovery there. Odin says success. Goes to recovery only to find its still in 2.7.0.0
Download a stock .tar and flash it with Odin. Odin says success, boot up and still in my old cm11 rom...
Now I went out of option but ask for help. I have done flashing for 3 years with this phone and I have never gotten this problem before.
Please Help

Help Needed With Flashing After Bootloop

I recently flashed CM12.1 on my S3. I was running rooted stockmod 4.3. Everthing went fine. I made a nandroid first. I was able to flash back to with my nandroid and then back to a nandroid of CM12. I tried to flash back again and booted into Touchwiz ROM with no Google services and most of many (too) many apps gone. I then tried to flash back to my CM12 Lollipop nandroid in recovery and got stuck in a bootloop. I could not get past the the Teamwin screen.
Even though my USB port is dicey I was able to use ODIN on my pc to flash back to stockmod_root 66. I then installed TWRP using TWRP manager on device. This went fine.
I then tried to flash back to CM12 in recovery using my nanback but the phone reboots after a few seconds with any task, even just wiping partitions. I am also now getting an error message after trying to load the same stockmod I used successfully earlier. The message is in Chinese so I have no idea what it says.
Any hope here?
Edit: I managed to load the stock image in ODIN and it is flashing now. Still do not understand what did wrong so as not to be able to restore my nan back of CM12. Was there a problem with my installation of TWRP with TWRP manager?
Thanks
