Hi, hoping someone can help me. My phone seems to have bricked itself. A few weeks ago i had CM6 on my phone then i reverted back to the stock rom from HTC. The phone worked fine for a few weeks then about a week ago i started having random data connection issues, yesterday the phone started resetting by itself, after the third or fourth reset the phone stopped booting at all. all i get now is the white HTC EVO 4G screen or the bootloader when i hold the volume down button.
Here are the version numbers on the bootloader screen.
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041f

i can only get windows to recognize the phone through usb by using the HBOOT USB option and installing the android bootloader interface driver. I don't really know how to use ADB and i'm not even sure if it is seeing the phone. All i want to do it get this back to official firmware.
any and all help is appreciated
thanks.
Well, it's not bricked if you get into that menu. Can you get into your recovery? If so, try wiping everything and reflashing the rom.
No i can't get into recovery, i even tried reapplying clockwork recovery trough there and all it does is install it, say it's installed ok then i reboot and try to go to recovery mode and it just goes to the white HTC EVO 4G screen
What version of hboot do you have?
*Nevermind* Apparently I can't read. xD
What root method did you use?
that's if i even installed it right.
i'm not sure if it even is rooted anymore because i had put the official firmware back on, when i had CM6 installed i used clockwork recovery and unrevoked
well if you were able to install a custom rom like cm6 then you are more then likely rooted. you say that you cant get into recovery? you should just try running the ruu.exe and returning to complete stock and then reroot if you want.
the official RUU.exe doesn't see the phone. when i connect hboot in the bootloader, device manager see's the phone as android bootloader interface and it i let the boot normally and let it crash at the evo 4g screen it show's up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" and doesn't have a driver. I am running Windows 7 x64
maybe you should try slashing the stock pc36img.zip maybe that will get you back on track.
Edit: this is the link to the thread with the stock pc36img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
and just for future reference. it is not that hard to do a search of the information that is needed. while i was here posting these things i found with the search all the info i hae given. just food for thought.
What caguirr4 said. With that file (or since you have s-off you can TRY getting a rom zip and renaming it to pc36img.zip) your phone will read it automatically when you boot using the volume down technique. That should at least get your phone to boot up and you can continue trouble shooting from there if you have more problems.
Remember: Conserve your battery! You don't want the juice to run out while the phone is in the middle of flashing something. THAT is how bricks are made.
i ran the update you gave me, the phone said that all the stages of the update were sucessful and asked me to reboot, i did so and now my phone won't power on and when i plug it into the wall it won't show any charging lights.

You ran the updates that who gave you? Various things were suggested on this thread.
sorry for not clarifying,i ran the original stock image that was linked to me by caguirr4 in post #9. According to the update it ran fine but after that the phone died when it had me reboot.

Ok, so you press the power button, and it does nothing? That doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully, your battery is just dead and the drivers for the USB port didn't install right. In which case, you need this:

Do you have any extra batteries you can try to make sure that battery isn't just dead?
I ended up taking it to a sprint service center, they tested the phone with thier own battery and the phone was dead. they are replacing the phone for me now. thanks you everyone for trying to help.
You could of just overwritten the ENG bootloader u had installed...
I am having the exact same problem. I can get to the bootloader but not recovery. Here's my specs

I had cyanogen 6.1.1 installed on it and it was was working fine. I just felt the thing vibrate and took it out of my pocket to see the "htc EVO 4G" screen and it just keeps rebooting unless I hold the volume button to get into the bootloader.
I REALLY don't want the stock firmware back on here and would like to avoid loosing root if possible.
I tried putting the PC36IMG.zip from here and at first it asked me if I wanted to flash it and after the first thing it restarted and now gives an error Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Any ideas? I would really like to keep this phone.
Thanks,
Justin
I've tried basically everything I can think of. After attempting to flash the first PC36IMG.zip file I get the main version error for every other one.
Is there somewhere I can get the latest PC36IMG that will be newer and I can try to flash? At this point I don't really care if I lose root (if I haven't already) I just want my phone back.

Just run the ruu.exe and get it back to stock.

I tried that. I even tried flashing the stock PC36IMG.zip (which flashed successfully) but I had the same problem. I finally gave up after like 8 hours of working on it and took it into Sprint. I am going to pick it up at 7. They said if they couldn't fix it they would give me a new one for $35 since I'm out of warranty which doesn't seem bad.
Okay so first off, let me just thank everyone who's willing to contribute to helping my issue ahead of time. I highly respect this community, and everything that everyone has done towards making android what it has become.
ANYWAY - I'm completely screwed, or so it seems. I cannot boot into anything, no ROM, no recovery. I've tried replacing the PC36IMG.zip on the root of my SD card. I've even downloaded the "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release_157088_signed.exe", and tried to start over completely, but even that did not work.
Whenever I try to restart my phone, or enter recovery from the HBOOT menu, I get a constant boot loop of the EVO white screen. Over and over, that's all it does. On my HBOOT menu I am showing:

I don't know what other options I have in order to restore my phone. Everything was working fine. I was running MIUI 12.3, with the stable CFS kernel. I woke up this morning, phone worked normally, then decided to randomly reboot. After that, it was over. I couldn't reboot into recovery, or simply reboot the phone.
If anyone can help out, it's greatly appreciated.
I'm not much help for that, but try this file:http://db.tt/AQItwCr
It's clock work mod recovery. If you can boot into hboot, you can flash that. Although, I'm assuming your rooted because you flashed mui*. So its pointless if your not rooted. Let me know what happens.

Pretty fukkin weird. It shouldn't even boot up, it should just go into recovery.
What recovery were you running before?
Sent From My HTC Evo 4G Using Tapa Talk Pro!
Once you RUU back to stock, you should be able to reboot into the phone. Don't go into recovery because you don't have a recovery anymore. If the phone doesn't boot up into Sense, then the RUU you grabbed is corrupt and you need to re-download or grab from somewhere else. Your hboot is now showing S-ON because you basically unrooted your phone so there wouldn't be any recovery.

I just ran it again, and the install process completes. Everything seems to go smoothly. The phone reboots, and you see the HTC EVO 4G white screen, but then it just goes black, restarts, and repeats.
I'm still unsure as to why I can't seem to boot into anything. Don't know what caused this. I do a lot of reading in these forums, and I've never heard of anything like this. Did quite a bit of googling, trying to read up on others that might've 'bricked' their phone, etc.
Also, the RUU file that I used, I gained from this thread:

You were using an AOSP ROM with the new hboot? Didn't you have to use the HTC kernel?

Yes, I was using MIUI 12.3, which is AOSP based. I don't think I had the new hboot until sometime after this problem started. One of the PC36IMG.zip's that I put on the root of my SD I believe was from somewhere in the new HBOOT Root thread on this forum, but I can't remember 100%.
Prior to that, I had the old HBOOT, I'm quite sure. I've never had a problem until. I've flashed plenty of ROMS, and recovery has always booted for me. MIUI wasn't giving me any issues, until earlier today. Randomly, POOF...it restarted...only, it boot looped. Didn't think it'd effect my recovery, though. I've had boot loop issues with other ROM's before, and have just booted into recovery, and solved the problem from there.
Who knows what happened to me earlier, or why, but it really is a pain. It's hard not having a phone. Especially when you've been blessed with an Evo!

That's what it was, the 2.02 hboot is not compatible with older phones and vice versa. Is your NAND still unlocked? (shows S-OFF) If so you may be able to do something with it.

No, it's not unlocked. It' showing S-ON.
&& this problem occurred BEFORE I was even running the hboot 2.02 --
I don't remember exactly what I had before, I believe it was the .76 hboot.
Everything was working perfectly fine.
I had just installed MIUI 12.3 a day earlier. Used it fine. Had everything set up the way I liked it. Went to sleep, woke up, phone still worked fine. Then it randomly reboot, and this problem started there.
The hboot 2.2 was only applied, I believe, when I put a PC36IMG.zip on my SD card root, that I had read about in a reply from someone on the 2.02 hboot thread.
Now it seems that I have only further screwed myself, apparently? idk.
I've tried running the latest RUU stock, to restore my phone to normal. NO luck.
Tried running it twice in a row, as per advice of someone earlier -- still no luck.
Endless reboots, no matter what. Yet, I can still get into the hboot menu. that's about it.
There's BOUND to be a way to fix this...
I can load PC36IMG.zip's ....but nothing else.
is there something that someone can package for me to revert back?
I have no idea, hence the reason I'm here.
HELP!
[and big thanks, of course!!]
Same thing happened to me. Lost recovery, and couldn't boot into rom. Just rebooted on splash screen over and over. Couldn't pull a logcat. Tried flashing recovery through fastboot, through bootloader, flashed renamed roms, the pc36img that I originally used from toasts 2part, etc. Nothing failed or threw errors. Only change I noted was that it reverted my custom splash screen to stock. Last ditch effort I ran an RUU with the phone in bootloader, which took a few tries but successfully "updated." Still couldn't boot into the OS. RUU restored me from engineering s-off back to ship s-on and I replaced it via warranty, $35 new phone on the spot.
Good luck, hope you manage to find something that works for you. After fastboot flashing failed I jumped on here and google hoping to find a fix, and searched for a week to no avail.

What did you flash a PC36IMG of? An RUU, or did you try to reflash a recovery. My first suggestion would have been to reflash recovery, using a PC36IMG, and see if that gets you recovery back. Is that what you already tried? If not, try it. I will attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra recovery. Flash it with the bootloader, and see if you can get into recovery once it's finished flashing. If that works, then try doing a complete wipe (wipe EVERYTHING except your sd card, maybe even use a Format all.zip). Then reflash a rom. If you're unsuccessful with flashing the recovery, I'd suggest trying an RUU or a PC36IMG of an RUU again.
Again, the PC36IMG I attatched is of Amon Ra V 2.3.
Find RUU's and PC36IMG's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu

You don't remember the rom you flashed? Seriously? Did you not download it from somewhere and if so, can you not get on your computer, go to that particular site where you downloaded the rom from and retrieve its name? After flashing the rom, what other changes, if any, did you make to your device? Was the phone performing fine before the battery drained? C'mon man, help us help you?....

That's what I was thinking. Not remembering the name doesn't sound hopeful either.
OP, do you know if it was AOSP or Sense? 2.2 or 2.3? Did you get it from xda?
More importantly, did you do a nandroid backup before flashing? If so, you need a PC36IMG.zip of Clockwork so you can go in and restore your backup.
Recovery image of clockwork provided; remove the -1 in the name, place on the root of your sdcard, and flash it in the bootloader.
ok im gonna do it and see what happens

You need to connect you evo in fastboot from the bootloader, then run the ruu from the pc.

Nope. That particular rom did not mess up your device, unless of course, the zip was corrupted somehow. Flashing it through ClockworkMod probably did. Why are you using an older software version (3.29)? The latest version is 3.70.
UPDATE: Once you've flashed the recovery via the bootloader, as directed by others, download the SECOND FILE from the link below, copy it to your SD card and then flash it from within recovery. It is the rooted stock rom.

Ive flashed probably a hundred times and ive never had a ROM brick my phone, and that includes Myn 2.2.
Either something went wrong with the flash, which i find highly unlikely, or the rom was corrupted. Do you know for sure that the download finished completely, and that you didnt flash a corrupted ROM? And are you absolutely sure that you flashed a ROM for the evo? I dont particularly like Myn, so im not an expert on it, but are you sure you didnt flash a version not meant for the evo?
But whatever you did, it seems like your boot image is corrupted. Since you can get to the bootloader you should be able to fix any software problem through an RUU or using fastboot to flash a new recovery.
The unfortunate thing is, a lot of people seem to be having this same problem and no software flash seems to be able to fix it.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009672&page=32
The conclusion ive come to, and i am by no means an expert, is that the NAND memory has worn out. Its called Read Only Memory for a reason. NAND flash memories can be written to but theyre meant to be read from and dont take to well to constant writing. Normal use wares out all types of solid state memories, particularly NAND flash memories. If you have too many bad blocks that there isnt enough good blocks to fit the files you need (boot image, recovery image, system image, etc), then no amount of software flashes will fix it because its a hardware problem.
This doesnt mean that this is your problem. I couldnt possibly know that for sure. but if RUU's and fastboot commands do not work your out of luck, and its probably a hardware problem. If you have S-on you can take it to sprint since it wont even boot and they couldnt tell its rooted. Theyll run a diagnostic tool that will tell them how many bad blocks your memory has and probably just give you a new one.
If your phone has S-off i wouldnt take it back to sprint, they wont like that. If the bootloader says S-off (and you cant fix it) your better off buying insurance and "losing" the phone. Keep trying a bunch of different PC36IMG.zip's, some people with this problem have been able to turn their phone from s-off to s-on.
yea after i looked around im becoming more convinced that its bad blocks. Look around the forums about "the white screen of death". Again, i cant be sure at all that this is the problem until you try every software solution. But this problem has just popped up a little bit ago and you have pretty much all the symptoms. I've never seen an evo not be able to boot to recovery after a flash. It simply doesnt make sense since the rom wouldn't have included new recovery or boot images. The only thing that really makes sense is that one unfortunate flash ruined one too many memory cells and the phone no longer has enough free memory to execute the boot files.
in short, fastboot and the bootloader are your new best friends. Are you familiar with fastboot commands?
Also, how old is your phone. Is the hardware version lower than 0003?
I have had my phone rooted for about a month now. I was running CM7 and things were fine and dandy. Decided that I wanted to try a different ROM. Downloaded and installed Skyraider 4.0 today. It seemed to be working fine. It was nice to have some sense back on my phone. Out of nowhere the phone reboots. Now I am left with a phone that cycle reboots and will not even get to the boot animation. Just the HTC Incredible white splash screen...black screen....vibrate....HTC Incredible white splash screen...cycle and cycle and cycle. I am able to get to the hboot screen by pressing the volume down button. From the hboot I tried to get into recovery mode but it goes back to the splash screen cycling.
I tried to reflash a stock ROM back onto the phone through hboot and it said that it was succesful. On restarting though, it went right back to the splash screen cycling.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I have searched and searched and am still stuck cycling with on the splash screen.
So you used the PB31IMG.zip that restores the phone to stock? And you can get into hboot but it wont boot into recovery from there? I'm not really sure what else to suggest, there may be some things that can be done with adb but I haven't ever gotten that far, I'm sorry. Typically the RUU is successful in getting people out of bootloops or other tough spots.

Exactly. I used the PB31Img.zip. Hboot cycled through and said that it was successful. I excitedly rebooted thinking that all of my dreams had come true. But I was none-the-better with the cycling issues. I used Doug Piston's method to get the phone to stock.
I am still in S-Off. Would it help to get the phone back to S-On before reflashing to stock or would this make a difference?
I could be wrong but I don't think S-ON would really effect anything as far as flashing the stock rom. How long have you let it try to boot up? And you can't get into recovery from hboot? It sounds like it could be a hardware issue but it seems really strange that it would just quit working like that.

I didn't think that S-On/Off would make a difference but I'm desperate for an answer. I have let it cycle through the splash screen....phone turning off....splash screen 20-30 times before realizing that it wasn't getting anywhere. I am able to get to the hboot screen, but unable to get into recovery. I've flashed three different versions of clockwork to see if that might be the issue but no luck there.
I believe that my warranty may have ran out on the phone so I don't know what to do next.
It seems weird that you can get into hboot but not recovery. I'm really not sure what it could be, I wish I could think of something that would fix it.. I was thinking there was a tiny chance that maybe you just weren't giving it enough time to boot but if its looping that many times, its not gonna do it. Have you flashed any radios or anything else that could have possible messed something up? Is your hboot version the latest (.92)? Tried flashing the stock radio (7.28)? I'm really not sure if any of this could help, I'm just trying to think of anything you might be able to try since you can only get into hboot..

Never flashed any different radios. I went from stock to CM7 to Skyraider. Hboot version .92. The radio was flashed to stock when I used Doug Piston's PB31IMG.
So now, the configuration of the phone is:
INCREDIBLEXC XC SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 0.92
MICROP 0417
TOUCH PANEL ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO - 2.15.00.07.28

I believe that I was successful in flashing the 2.5.1.2 ClockworkMod Recovery onto the phone. I previously had 3.0.0.8 or whatever ROM manager flashed onto the phone for me.
Nothing that I have done has made any difference on getting through the splash screen onto the boot animation.
Everything looks correct as far as stock settings go. I really can't think of anything else to try as my knowledge is limited to things you can do in recovery or in hboot and you've already done everything that I can think of to fix it. The only other thing I can think of is trying some things in ADB, but its been so long since I've used it I couldn't help with it. I'm assuming you've tried all the options in hboot, I think there's a data wipe/factory reset option? I'm sorry, I can't think of anything else, wish there was something I could do! If you got the phone from Verizon, you should have a one year warranty. The incredible came out like 13 months ago so I would think it would still be under warranty?

I had the same problem months ago and i used a card reader to read my sd card and install a fresh rom in the root directory of the sd card. Reinstalled the card and flashed the new rom , make sure to erase any previous rom as it was pobably corrupt.

I'm having some trouble with an Evo I purchased from a friend. I knew it bootlooped before I purchased it. He has not used it in a long time and it looks like new.
Known Device details:
SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.16.0001
MICROP-041f

NOT ROOTED.
Symptoms:
Device will turn on and have the white HTC evo 4g screen, but will then power off and power back into the HTC evo 4g screen repeatedly.
Holding down and power boots into bootloader no problem.
GOAL:
To fix this device without upgrading the Hboot so that I may have s-off and root via revolutionary.
Any suggestions here?
Thanks in advance.

It should flash your phone back to factory stock and keep the 2.16 hboot. Even if you were to get 2.18, it can be unlocked and rooted anyway. If you don't like that file, go to http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu and pick your favorite one.
Thanks for your response, however my problem was actually fixed by wiping the data through the bootloader. Then I rooted via revolutionary so it.was actually really easy, hopefully someone else can benefit from this thread. I didn't think a data wipe would fix it but hey, I'm not complaining.

Hey Lunch.
Have you tried flashing a custom recovery? Is your phone even rooted yet?

I have had the boot looping issue for a few months now... could not access internet or gps without the phone rebooting. It had to be some sort of heat issue, because I did get the damn thing to work by turning my car's AC on high and holding my phone in front of the vent so I could use the gps long enough to tell the Road Rangers where the hell I was with a flat tire. I brought it in to a Sprint service center and they replaced it (just got it today) with a refurb no questions asked. IMO, If your phone has the same issue, no amount of wiping and recovery will fix it. I tried 6 different roms, unrooted and returned to stock, and still had the same issue as soon as the phone started to hit the 3g data network. Working on getting root back now on the replacement.
