Hello everyone,
I just want to say I did not make this thread prematurely. Iv had this current issue for over a month. Iv talked to various people on here and other related forums and tried everything others have suggested with nothing working, So I come here to hopefully, somehow, get an answer or a fix.
I've had my Evo since Feb, rooted almost immediately and have been trying different roms ever since. Yet I always found myself going back to CM. Well just recently, Iv run into a problem where ALMOST every rom I try to flash, it gets stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen, constantly rebooting over and over. I actually waited once for hours to see if it eventually would go into the rom but it didnt. Iv tried battery pulls, clearing cache and davlich, nothing works.
Here is what works with no issues that iv tried: Any CM, Miui, Mikfroyo, MikZ, Myns, MynsZ
WHat iv tried and does not work:Mikg, Virus, Kings, Leo, Alliance, Stock Gb,
Btw, I was originally using clockwork and was told to go to Amon Ra(latest version yes)-
Heres what exactly happens:
I download the rom, which Iv tried from my phone and my pc both. Put it on root of sd. reboot into recovery. Wipe: Cache,Davlick,Boot,System,Sd ext.,Data,Sd secure, All userdata/factory reset in that order and sometimes 2 and 3 times. I then flash the rom. The screen shows the progress of the installation of w/e rom it is, always says complete or successful. Reboot.
Almost immediately Shows the screen with the squigley colored lines then after a second or 2, phone vibrates, reboots right to white evo 4g screen. Sits on that screen for approx.10-15 seconds, vibrates goes black for 2-3 seconds and then back to the white evo 4g screen and it does this over and over til im forced to pull the battery. Very VERy frustrating.
I was told maybe the links of the downloads were bad so i tried multiple downloads of the same zip. I was told to check to see if the md5 sum thing matched, it did. I was told to download sd formatter, did that. I was told to update all the latest radios,prl,ext.
I do not know a whole lot about this but Im thinking that every Gb rom i try doesnt work. With the exception of 2 Aosp roms(cm and miui). I could be way off here but im just throwing that out there.
One thing I will mention. In the middle of trying to figure all this out, I deleted my sd card when trying to wipe. Now what is important is this issue was def. happening before I ever made this mistake. SO maybe its a moot point, I just want to mention everything.
Im hoping, praying that some of you MUCH more knowledgeable flashmatics can point me in the right direction because Iv been pulling my hair out for over a month trying everything I can read or was told to come to a conclusion as to why this would be happening.
Thank you for your time. Its much appreciated.

You are the only response Iv gotten so i thank you.
Someone else mentioned this.
So I downloaded: Htc kernel #15
WHat I did was flash the rom(had been various ones) then flashed this kernel, rebooted, same result. Is this what you mean?
Have youve ever even heard of this? WHere every froyo rom iv tried works, 2 specific gb roms work(CM and miui) yet various other(gb) will not work.
Has anyone EVER heard of anything like this?
What hboot version?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
My suggestion is go completely stock. Unroot with a 3.70 RUU and then root your phone again. Start from scratch and then load up or attempt to load up one of the Sprint Lovers rom and see what happens. Maybe just maybe you had a bad root. I do recommend Amon as well though.
Or try this get Caulkins wipe all zip and format your phones harddrive and load up Sprint Lovers and see what happens
I would recommend flashing the kernel first before the ROM,however,since you can successfully flash froyo ROMS,playa may be right and you should try running the ruu and starting over.I was thinking the problem was an incompatibility between an ASOP ROM and a Sense kernel but doesn't hold water if you can get froyo based ROMS to boot up.

Like I said I will try anything, so I will be trying to do this as soon as I have time. I may run into problems with how to do this, can you possibly point me in the direction or a how to? I mean I obviously would know how to flash a sprint lovers rom but im talking about the un-rooting step regarding 3.70 ruu??, Iv never did it and probably would be lost(noob).

Not a problem. Turn your phone off and hold the power button and the volume down button. This will take you to the bootloader screen. The hboot and radio versions should be at the top. I'm betting your hboot is .76
I had the same issue that you did and nothing worked, I was unable to flash any new GB Rom besides cm. I tried flashing stock, using multiple versions of clockwork and amon ra. Nothing worked, updating my hboot to the latest version fixed my issue, I'm guessing its something to do with the hboot version and hardware combination. You may lose fastboot commands, if you're unsure of what those commands are I doubt you'll miss them. And recent developments have allowed for downgrading of hboot. I'll dig the link up for the latest hboot.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7027238
I personally flashed the 2.02 hboot for downgradability. I'd avoid 2.16 since it is so new and I've heard of issues after flashing. Anything prior to that should be fine.

This.
I was having the same problem htcevo4g03 was having and I had hboot 0.76.2000. Here is what I did:
Made a nandroid backup
Using rom manager I downgraded to clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
Downloaded hboot 2.10.0001 under Evo Stock and Radios
Wiped data and cache (I don't know is this is necessary but probably not a bad idea)
Flashed hboot 2.10.0001
Downloaded and flashed fresh evo 4.2 (a rom that wouldn't flash before) via recovery and it worked!

Hey Man,
I haven't tried anything yet but im going to this morning.
Looking at the bootloader screen, says:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.001
MICROP-041f
RADIO-2.15.00.05.02
Ok so I should download anything prior to 2.16 and flash like a rom?
Thoughts after youve seen my version?

hey the reply is much appreciated!
If you read my op, I mentioned someone told me to dl sd formatter on my pc which I went through the steps and it didnt work.
Hey man If you get a chance please read my op, this is prob going on a month and a half and no fix to this point. I would have though if I brought the issue here, it would be resolved like that but it hasnt. Iv tried everything ppl have thrown at me and not a thing has worked. Other than froyo roms and 2 gb roms(cm7/miui), cannot getting anything to work. Ill flash a rom, it always says successful I reboot, turns to the white screen and gets stuck, rebooting over and ove, always back to the white screen and Im forced with a battery pull to do anything else. AMAZING!
If you can just look over the OP maybe just maybe you might have something you think could work.
The very last thing i tried, in which 2 ppl said they were having the same issue, was to downgrade the Hboot. I did this and it didnt work. SO frustrating.
The one thing I did not try that was said to do was unroot, go back to stock, and root again.
SO lost here. Again thanks for contributing to this thread.

I would just go ahead a unroot,wipe the hell out of it then go a reroot the see what you get. With everything you have tried so far that maybe the thing you need,sorry I couldn't be more help.
Same situation here now
So.. i'm in basically the same situation.. with a wrinkle.
I just tried.. about 8 roms.. ALL of them get stuck on the white screen
Except.. CM 7.0.3.1.. that seems to install
Any thoughts on what the heck that could be?
Roms I tried:
miui
warm 2.2
calkins new one
kings 3d
fresh 4.2
I agree... unroot, run the s-on tool form unrevoked.
run the RUU for your phone
re-root
flash Amon Ra recovery and try a new ROM
Hey hip,
OK if I have to start from scratch I will. But since I'm a super noob, can you please be a little more specific on the steps I have to take? I don't know much about s-off and s-on tool and also what ruu is. If you can just point me in the right direction then I can follow the directions.
And ty for your time

I just got my hands on the dinc. I am coming from a rooted D1. Unforuntulny the dinc has been updated and has s-on..
even searched for s-on Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. I love it lol...
Anyways, if i have read correctly if s-on is enabled, I am just SOL in rooting my phone and using custom roms,themes etc till someone finds a workaround , correct?
Also all my game and app data on my d1, anyway to move it over to the dinc?
Updated to GB 2.3.4 and S-On? If so, I found THIS thread a few days ago that seems to be working. Before you do any of that..make sure your SD card is formatted to FAT32.
Apps yes...you can move those over to your Inc. Data would not be a good idea. The data is from a totally different phone so you would cause a lot of issues by doing restoring any app data. My friend who moved on to an Inc from a DX tried to do it and got FC's all over the place.
Good luck and enjoy your new phone!

I looked that over and it looked like it should get you back to s-off, rooted froyo. It's a LOT like the method jcase developed for the Tbolt before Revolutionary. If you can get s-off, you're good to go. Flash a custom recovery and flash a rooted ROM. Should be that simple.
thanks for the info!
Yeah, that thread works.
Thanks again guys, i got it to work last night.. Now i just need to decide on a rom? Any suggestions? I loved chevyNo1 on D1 :/
Your going to love the incredible compared to the og droid, everything is so much snappier, and battery life will increase too.
I'm not a sense guy at all but McD's ROMS are super nice.
I really liked chevy's ROMs too. CM7.1 stable and the latest incredikernel on 10/12 by Tiny will get you started in the right direction if you want to stick with AOSP or if you want something more barebones grab IncDeck 1.3 Final... I just went back to CM7.1 because I felt I got a little better batterylife.
Will give them a try. I did download cm7.1 and on re boot after install it gets stuck on the boot loader. Do I need to do a complete wipe or something ?

Personally, I never use Rom Manager. I flash through recovery; if you use Rom Manager to reboot into recovery, do a factory reset from there and then flash and you should be good.
Ok cool.. thanks for the quick replies.
McD's ROMS i havent seen any of those. I loaded CM7.1 Very simliar to chevyno1's rom.. Trying something different, miui right now, its not bad, reminds me of the iphone though.. Any other suggestions?
I strongly recommend against ROM manager, too. Any dev worth his salt tends to recommend against flashing through ROM Manager because it doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to. It's been a problem child for a long time now. When performing functions done through recovery, it's best to go directly into recovery to perform them. I think the same can be said for the bootloader.
Sorry i meant clockwork, dont know why i keep on saying rom manager. Can anyone help me with roms or should i post a new post on it?
I kind of dig miui but dont like the sms keyboard layout. Its like cm7 and i really like the stock dinc set up. With my big fingers i get less typos with its set up.. Any suggestions?
Here is a list of Dinc ROMs. I personally recommend CM7, but if you like HTC Sense, go for Runny Revolution 3D. Great Sense ROM.
Ok so im having some major issues. After wiping everything, il flash a rom using AmonRa recovery and it will start up like normal with no issues.. But when i need to restart my phone, or pull the battery or shut off or w/e, it wont get past start up screen.. Doesn't matter what rom i use..
All i remember is after flashing a bad Ice cream sandwich rom, i started having the issues.. Heard someone say something about my hboot? if it could be that, its version 6. 16. 1002.
Need help badly =( My phones my main source of communication and i hate having to reflash it daily
I had the same problem I flashed a miui ROM from amonra recovery and it just got stuck on the bootload screen... I fixed my issue by putting another ROM on the root of my SD card and flashed it you made sure you wiped the cache,dalvik cache,and factory reset right?? That's how I messed mine up I flashed cm7 to fix mine.. hopefully this helps if it didn't I'm sorry

Wholy crap,i'm not sure i want to mess with the reaper crowd,i'm not wanting to die anytime soon,ok guys.Anyway,the best thing i can tell you to do is,either install a new recovery and try that route,or unroot,then reroot,to see if that helps,here a link for the rooting and unrooting... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245649
Normally, if you're having probs like this, it might be good to drop 10 and punt.
Run the RUU for your phone's version, and basically start over. I'm not sure about the newer H-Boot versions, but you may still be S-Off after running RUU. I know on mine, it's that way, but mine is from before Gingerbread
From common knowledge around the root community, that sounds completely like the wrong path lol...
Generally there is a much more simple solution lol.. I know that much..
and nice to see my signatures all over this website lol =D Clearly people like the clean slate Team Noctural sig i created.
I've had a ROM or two in the past do something similar. It would boot the first time and everything worked great but upon reboot would stick at the HTC screen. Try wiping your regular cache and dalvik cache and reboot and see if it will start again.
Ive installed a few different roms and when the phone boots up the animation, it reboots and just reboots at the HTC Evo white screen..
ive gone into the recovery and deleted the Cache and Davlik.. rebooted, and same thing... out of 10 boots, it booted 2 times successfully into the rom but then after 10mins, it reboots again and get stuck...
anyone know whats wrong or how to fix this..
thanx

If your not running any scripts then I would try fresh download wipe all except sdcard battery and rotation and reflash don't flash any thing else until after you boot up then flash each additional item that you like one at a time rooting between each one that way you can find out what if anything is causing your problem hope that helps
ive used the wipe on EVERY options.. even wipe sdcard, battery and rotate screen option...
I dont flash any extras then the actual rom..

Then I would try a fresh download you may have a bad copy
I had the same issue on a replacement Evo, it had never been rooted. Eventually it wouldn't boot up at all, even after 20+ tries. I took it into the Sprint store and they ordered a replacement (they did check for s-off).
I would try running an RUU. If the problem persists, then do whatever you have to do to get s-on so you can get a replacement. I'm not familiar with the new rooting and unrooting methods, haven't done it since FroYo. If running an RUU will revert you to s-on, then I'd use an easily rootable RUU in case it solves your problem. Good luck!
Like plainjane said. In case you need to unroot and have it replaced, I'd follow captain_throwbacks thread at the mik-mik to downgrade radios and hboot to froyo (radio 2.15.00.11.19 hboot 2.10) before your phone becomes completely unalterable, then you'll still be root, and if the unthinkable happens, you'll also be in good shape for sprint checking your setup. Look in the general sub-forum,... much talk and info about this. Look for info from Captain_Throwback.

If you wiped your SDCard, then you have nothing on there. Definitely run the RUU and see where you can go from there
Might wanna check ur permissions ad well....not sure which rom ur running but the boot animations..are either in data....local....or says...media...resources ...if I'm remembering correctly ....long press and check ur permissions once you've found them
Sent from my Expressed out eVo using xda premium
how long have yo let it go? Iv had a similar problem when i boot to a new rom for the first time. it goes through the splash screen, then to bootanimation, then back to splash then animation again. this usually happens 1-2x then once its all up, settled in and i have my settings and apps reapplied it doesnt happen again. Just my experience.
the only problem is....
Im not on sprint.. heck im not even in the U.S.
Im up in Canada. I bought this phone for my media player instead of an ipod, which is more (got this phone for $50) and for taking pictures... If its dead (i hope its not) then its no big deal...
also, i have a habit of backing up my important info and wiping my SDcard when install a new rom..
im kinda getting fed up with this constent reboots..
im thinking if I flash the stock RUU, this would unroot my phone.. then I will reroot it.. would this be a good idea??
I read that the lastest RUU cant be unlocked yet.. so which is the latest version that can be unlocked and s=ff?

I'm surprised no one's asked you this yet, but what recovery are you using?
Amon RA, from the following link. Flash it via hboot using PC36IMG.zip

IIRC, after i flashed this recovery, i started having these issues... before I was on the revolutionary recovery and didnt have any issues..
Hey guys,
For months now, I've constantly been chopping and changing the ROM around on my DHD, without any issues. All ROMs used to install without errors, and they would all boot to a usable level.
Recently, for the past week or 2, I have only been able to successfully install JellyTime 4.2.2 R11.
Every other ROM I have tried (and trust me, I've tried a fair few), all successfully install, but then become frozen at the boot HTC logo.
I have had a look around the forum to find a solution to this, however most issues similar to this seem to be S-ON, or an issue installing all ROMs.
I am yet to find someone with the same issue as I am having, making it super difficult to find the solution.
That's where you guys can come in...
I'd really appreciate the help. I've just this week turned down the offer of the HTC One, on favour of keeping my now 3 year old DHD, and I'd love to be able to keep modding it for years to come.
So please, help me to have some more fun with my DHD before they finally are obsolete..

I'd really appreciate the help. I've just this week turned down the offer of the HTC One, on favour of keeping my now 3 year old DHD, and I'd love to be able to keep modding it for years to come.
So please, help me to have some more fun with my DHD before they finally are obsolete..

Some of the sense ROM's come with kernels that can be flashed only with s-off.
otherwise, make sure you use 4ext recovery.Wipe all except sdcard, then go to the tools menu and format>ext4 menu>wipe data, system,cache, all with ext4.I've had an issue again with CWM/TWRP, where it gave me Encryption Unsuccesful error on boot, and it did so on every ROM onwards.Switched back to 4ext, all is working fine.
In the long run, the S-Off is worth it.
I've tried that. A fair few times...
I've wiped and formatted /system, /data and /cache, as well as wiping the dalvik cache before clean installing each ROM.
I have quite the OCD when it comes to residual files and such, so I wouldn't dream of installing a ROM without a full wipe first.
For me, this still wouldn't explain why I can still install JellyTime without any issues. If anything, JellyTime is working better than any of the previous ROMs I've tried, I'd just like to open up the possibility to explore further..
Is it likely to be a problem with the SD card? The one I'm using is as old as the handset (3 years), and I've named this as the cause of some alight lag issues in the past, but I've never come across this problem before...
Nothing against the ROM, but I wouldn't want to be stuck on JellyTime indefinitely..

Yeah, I'm on S-Off (Altogether, this seemed like the simplest Root form when I first began exploring, and I've kept it that way since).
But I'm having the same issue when I try to install ROMs that I've used without problems before, on the same handset, so I can't understand what's changed?

Hi I got the same problem six months back. I format the SD card then I tried to install other ROMs. It was successful. So try Good Luck.:good:
UPDATE - After trying over 10 different ROMs without success, I resigned to buying a new SD card, eventually deciding that this simply MUST be the source of the problem.
I bought a new 32GB SD, partitioned it, and flashed a ROM at random.
No issues at all.
I've tried a fair few since, including ones I had problems with before, all without any trouble whatsoever
Cheers for your help guys!
