Evo Reboots Infinitely After Only Loading White Screen

After 20 minutes after updating to the latest MIUI, my Evo suddenly restarted. It got the white screen, but before loading any further, it restarted to the white screen and repeated the whole process infinitely. The only way to stop it is to do a battery pull.
I have tried wiping the data, but the issue is still there. After selecting the option to boot into recovery, the phone does the exact same thing (cycling the white boot screen). I even tried updating the recovery with the zip file, but that problem is still there.
Does anyone know what's wrong with my evo?

Uh oh! Oh no! Read that thread. Everything you could possibly try is in that thread, it went 27 pages!!, and is still active. There was no solution found, but if something might work for you, it will be in that thread, I promise.
Hopefully an ruu will work for you.
I sincerely wish you luck.

not another one... ok so I would first post your info ROM, kernal, Hboot all the info in advanced. This happened to me last week. All I see now is bootloop post... this is BS.

[Q] Desire won't boot

Hi everyone,
I've got a problem. My rooted desire running ReflexTSenseHD v1.8. Last night the battery went dead or so I thought then. Anyway when I got home and I tried to charge it nothing happened. Tried a few things (battery out, battery in) and finally got it charging.
The next morning I tried to boot it and but it hangs on the white HTC screen. Took the battery out, tried it again still the same screen. Took the battery out again and tried it one last time. I booted it in the bootloader and cleared storage. This time it booted, but when it finaly got to the lock screen it said: connect charger but couldn't get it off the lockscreen. Took the battery again and this time it booted normally and worked like nothing happend.
After a few hours I got curious if it would boot normally right away. But unfortunately, the whole thing started over again.
I searched the web, but couldn't find anything like this. The white htc screen freeze is known, but that is usually due to a broken/ faulty bootchip which in my case is not likely because I can boot (sometimes).
I haven't got a clue what to do next but hope any of you do.
Thanks for reading this, and hope that somebody has a solution.

ps sometimes I can boot in recovery but most of the times it will hang on the white htc screen.

Try boot into recovery and wipe the boot, cache, system, data, dalvik cache and do a factory reset too. What on a fresh rom. If you can't be bothered with that, use an ruu which will do a fresh everything, even the bootloader. If things still are messing up, talk to HTC it your carrier.

Thanks somehow I got into recovery and wiped it all, and so far so good

unfortunately the issue has returned. So far I figured out that if I wait long enough, it will boot but then hangs onto the lockscreen, show the empty battery and says connect charger. I can't unlock it so the only way of rebooting is to take out the battery and start it again.
I just don't get it. It can't be a faulty bootchip, I suppose it wouldn't boot at all then.
I already tried the steps above from meaple but this time I hadn't so much luck. In booting it again.
I'm getting a little desperate by now so any help would again be appreciated.

ps: I'm on a new rom the RCMixHD v3.6 which at first worked like a charm.

[Q] Splash screen stuck after lcd replacement

So Today I changed my gfs lcd and the digitizer. Installed it fine, I make sure all the ribbons are properly connected and close up the phone. The phone turns on and shows the splash screen, seems like it's booting. I decide to use the latest RUU and see if that helps. A few reboots later i on the newest hboot, thing is it keeps happening, except now i can hear it boot (sprint boot anim). I battery pull a few times and I get it to boot. Touch screen works fine and all, tick Development and keep awake (because once it slept it wouldnt turn on again), mind you adb works while the splash is displayed and after the boot anim, adb also works when the screen is turned off and it wont wake up.
I just want a second opinion on if i should get another lcd screen. The one I installed didnt have the best reviews.
Thanks.
ps: i dont post alot because i know how to search, but i havent found anything on this exact issue.

Im slightly confused... so does it boot? or not? I am trying to make sense of what you wrote...
Try clearing the storage in hboot something may have corrupted during the process...

well it does boot you can hear the sprint boot animation, and i can also adb into it. getting into the bootloader works fine, booting into recovery or regular booting is the problem. Just displays the splash screen, but as I said I think it does boot into recovery/system because I have adb access.
edit: i just turned it on and it booted, but once put it to sleep the screen wont turn back on.

If it's not getting pay the splash something is stalling it... Did you try to run a logcat from adb? Do that and look for errors.

[Q] Is my EVO Dead/Gone for good?

Hi Friends,
I did a lot of searching and tried a bunch of things, but I am not very successful. Can you experts please tell me if my EVO is dead/gone for good?
Symtoms:
My Evo was charging (it was rooted and S-Off), I took the charger cable off, and the phone rebooted.
It went to the White HTC Evo screen that comes before any ROM boots, and basically looped their infinitely.
Since then, the symptoms have switched back and forth from Bootloops on the white screen OR STUCK on the white screen, infinitely.
Currently, I am getting white screen boot loops
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared Storage (via Bootloader/Fastboot)
2. Chose "Recovery" from Bootloader/Fastboot (nothing happens, reboots and stuck on the white screen or loops)
3. Reverted back to S-ON
4. Flashed other Recovery zips
5. Upgraded the Fastboot version
6. Flashed the RUU
Current Situation:
Nothing changed guys... and after the RUU flash (out of which the Radio flash was the only component that FAILED) my PC31IMG.zip files are no longer being promoted for updates in my Fastboot/Bootloader menu.
While the reboots continue on the white screen...
Can't access Recovery
Can't run PC36IMG.zips anymore
Am I done here guys, or is there still anything I can do to save my EVO?
Appreciate ALL your help!

Man I have the same problem execept I'm not rooted or s off if you change the battery and let it sit for awhile off it will turn on but it will reboot in about 5 mintues then get stuck on the sprint 4g screen of the htc screen

Hey theneguy,
Thanks for your response... My phone was rooted, but is now S-On and Unrooted, I believe (I can't tell because I am not able to get in the OS).
I can't get into Recovery and my PC31IMG is not being read now...
Any ideas, friends?

same thing happened to my son, pulled sd card and it would boot fine, found and deleted a corrupt .img file on sd...all is fine

Latest Update guys:
I tried flashing the RUU via HBoot/Flashboot, and the update failed, but the progress bar at the screen was full/successful. The on-screen wizard tried to take me to the "Recovery" steps, nothing was fixed.
The computer wizard was stuck at: Sending Signature....
And the phone had the full progress bar from the previous flash.
So I yanked the battery out, cause I had no options left.
Well, needless to say, now, NOTHING turns on. The phone doesn't charge, and blah, blah, blah.
So guys, can someone give me a verdict... is my EVO done for good?
Thanks for your help.

I can't get in the recovery eather I tryed pulling the sd card out it is still doing the same thang

It should be PC36IMG not 31.

Thanks Mark,
But I don't think it matters anymore... I think with the battery pulled out after a failed RUU.exe installation has truly bricked my phone for good.
It doesn't charge, the battery was good, NOTHING lights up, and I just think it's game over...

[Q] evo 4g boot looping - wont go past sprint splash screen

Friends evo just started doing this today - he didn't make any changes or do anything to the phone to cause this. It just keeps cycling through the sprint splash screen/start up sound over and over.
its not rooted/unlocked - it's stock from sprint
If i try going into recovery, i get the black and white htc evo screen. And then I get an icon of a green arrow with green arrows circling around it and after a few seconds i get a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it, which i assume is a bad thing.
Is there anything I can do to try and fix this?
and again - stock, not rooted/not unlocked - running whatever rom is current with sprint.
thanks

Same here except sometimes times it loads up into android but after a few minutes it starts rebooting again. I rooted the phone to see if that would fix it but still stuck in boot loop with it occassionaly loading into android.

I just fixed my friends phone by doing the following:
downloaded this RUU RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.exe
download htc sync
installed htc sync
uninstalled htc sync (keep the drivers).
press the power btn and the volume down button until you get into hboot - wait a few seconds for it to fully boot. Select fastboot. Plug your phone into your pc. Run the RUU - wait a few minutes for it to do it's thing and phone is working now.
not sure how this will work for you if your phone is rooted, as this was done on an unrooted phone.

Infinite boot loop
Stock Evo Infinite Boot Loop
I have been trying to fix my daughter's evo 4g from Sprint. Its at least 2 years old. She no longer uses it because it went into infinite boot loop. Itws not hooked up and is in no warranty.
I have done the hard factory reset. There is no issue with saqving anything on the phone. I have tried everything I could find so far in the forums. I may have missed some things. idk.
Ive wiped cache.
This is what I got in the info on the phone.

Still stuck in boot loop. But now it says in pink above supersonic...Locked..oow
Before when I was using recovery I got these messages..

CANT OPEN cache/cw.prop

data wipe complete
This is completely stock. Never been rooted or changed in any way.
This is my daughter's exact message about problems she was having:
"it seems to me that it gets overheated sometimes. like it seems the battery is getting too hot. i dunno john had the problem with his evo one time but he took it and had sprint reset it which is pretty much the same thing you do yourself i think. his was fixed but mine wasnt.i didnt get sprint to reset it for me. i never dropped it or anything i dont know. i hope you can get it fixed though. i liked the phone when it was working good. it seems like it can go for awhile sometimes without rebooting and i could talk on it but as soon as i would hang up it would go into loop again.it was hot.i even tried making the screen darker so maybe it wouldnt get so hot."
Sorry not to be briefer. Please..anyone with suggestions?
Thanks

Possibly use odin to flash the stock image?

Been awhile since i did this. But search "revolutionary s-off". Do this to gain s-off. Download and flash "smelkus recovery" (find directions in post, search xda). Then try wiping everything and installing a room.
Might work, might not... but if not, that's a stylish paper weight
