I installed a new rom that I ended up not liking as much as I thought I would so I restored to the nandroid backup I had previously made. Now when I turn the phone on it gets stuck at the white "htc Incredible" screen. I have pulled the battery and can get into recovery but when I try to turn it on normally it does not work. Anybody know how I can fix this?
Go into recovery, which you say you can do, and try your nandroid restore again. If that fails, it may be a corrupt nandroid. Worst case, wipe clean and flash the previous ROM that you know works and rebuild your apps and data.

Thank you very much. I could not restore to the backup I had made and I never thought to just go back to the rom I had on the SD card. Thank you.
Not trying to threadjack here but I have mostly the same problem so I thought I would just add it here. I was flashed Ruby 2.02 ROM and was just setting things up when my phone rebooted it would not get past the htc incredible splash screen so I read to pull the battery and try to reboot into recovery. When I tried to reboot into recovery my phone just vibrated 3 times then went dead. Did my phone just get bricked or what? ANY help would be awesome!

Can you still get to recovery now? If so, you are probably ok.
I am able to get into recovery but if I try to reboot from there it is still stuck at the splash screen. I think my sd card is not working right now, so I am not able to flash anything. Is my only solution a factory reset?

You need to boot recovery, wipe and flash a known working rom and start completely over. You really need to get a working card.
Well I flashed one and the problem didn't change so I am now flashing an older one of a different ROM that I hope will work.

Hey folk,
My buddy & I both have EVO 4G's, I rooted mine yesterday, downloaded rom manager did a backup and than downloaded a rom and everything went smooth no problems.
Now today I rooted by friends phone the same way I did mine, when It came to doing a backup or downloading a rom, every time it goes to reboot after the rom is downloaded or you do a backup, it will reboot and than all you see is the white screen and it showing the evo 4G logo.
I don't know what I did wrong? the root went successful and everything else is fine.
Any help folks thanks.
How long is it staying on the splash screen? Sometimes it can take a few minutes.
Is it stuck on the splash screen or can you get it up & running?

It was stuck on the splash screen for about 15 min or so than the battery died.

It stays stuck on the flash screen it won't move, last it was running for 15 min on the splash screen and than the battery died, so I plugged it in to the charger and powered it up and it was still the stock rom but still was rooted.

First thing: don't try to flash anything with a battery lower than 35%. It might be okay at levels lower than 35%, but it's better to be safe. You don't want to be flashing something after a wipe & the phone shut off.
Second: for some reason after rooting my phone, it takes a lot longer to reboot than it used to. This isn't something that always happens but it does some times. The first couple times it would even get stuck on the splash screen & I'd eventually pull the battery. I found that after I switched to amon ra recovery it stopped happening. You could try switching recoveries, but if you do rom manager won't function anymore & you'll have to do everything manually. It's not difficult.
Try again, this time with a full battery, and see what happens. Make sure cwm says that the flash was successful. If it takes a really long time to reboot, pull the battery & power it on normally. Sometimes it takes a while after wiping/flashing because it has to rebuild cache and/or load the rom for the first time, but it shouldn't take 15 minutes.

Every said was correct. But I'd like to add, that its possible that it didn't wipe fully. The screen should never hang on the splash for 15 minutes...five is normal, and sometimes happens after flashing. But like plainjane said, try another wipe. Also, flashing under 35%, it'll flash, but if your phone dies midway, expect to have a fancy paper weight.

Thanks Guys I will give it another try, but I would also like to men-son nothing gets flashed, the phone reboots - black screen than white screen and thats all.
When I did the same thing to my EVO the white screen stayed for about 40 secs and than started flashing.
I will try to remove rom manager and reinstall it.
So I am still having trouble with my friends EVO, it stays on the splash screen and won't change it lasted for an hour and than I pulled the battery.
Nothing happen to phone.
When I try to unrevoke it, it asks me if my version is new and reboots.
Even when I try to go to clockwork it gets stuck on the splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?
does anyone not have an answer for this?

I'm not sure this will help you, but if it were me, I would download unrevoked's s-on zip and flash that. Then get the PC36IMG.zip for the Stock unrooted 3.70 OTA and install that so you will be completely back to stock and unrooted.
Then try to root again. Also, try Amon Ra since clockwork was giving you trouble.

Can you boot into your ROM at all?
^^^^^
No not at all.
If I power down than press volume down and power it will take me to the screen where I can goto to recovery but when I select it and try to go to recovery it will reboot and show the white splash screen that says EVO 4G and thats it, it will just stay there.
If I try to download a ROM or do a Backup and when it reboots to the same white splash screen it will just stay stuck there.
It looks to me the phone is partially rooted cause wireless tether, superusers, rom manager works but when I tried to download titanium so I can do the unroot and wipe the data clean titanium won't work.
At this point I have read a-lot of other posts and tried many other things but they all require me to go into clockworks which I can't. I even tried another method I seen on Youtube but I can't find unrevoked on my EVO anywhere.
I mean can you boot your phone up normally, and from the looks of it you can. You just need to reflash your recovery. Boot your phone up, go into ROM Manager and hit flash clockwork. After doing that, choose the flash alternate recovery option to flash Amon Ra and then do all your ROM flashing through recovery and not through ROM manager from here on out.

I tried to flash the latest (at that time) Synergy Rom on Sunday. I had been trying out Sense 3.0 Roms since being on Cyanogen for 3 months and low in behold after flashing and rebooting, the phone hung on the splash screen, wouldn't even get to the boot animation. I pulled the battery out to reboot and kept doing the same things. So then i just figured I go through bootloader to get to recovery. When I hit recovery, the phone hung on the splash screen and thus I was forced to report my phone lost because I use it for work and was able to get a new one the next day (had to pull out my old bb 8530). The phone charges, but it will not do anything when powering on, or hitting recovery but go to splash. Once again when i try to go into recovery, it won't get there.
Any Help Please.

You need to reflash your recovery. Is it just hanging at the splash screen, or is it rebooting at the splash screen?
Download this PC36IMG I attatched (it's Amon RA recovery v2.3). Place the file on the main directory of your sd card (you'll probably need to take the SD card and use a card reader to get the file on the card....or put the card in another phone with an sd slot if you have access to one...just get the PC36IMG.zip file on your card). Once it's on the card and card's back in the phone, boot to your bootloader. It should scan and find the PC36IMG then ask you to update...select vol up to say yes. Should finish in 10-15 seconds. Then when it asks you to reboot, say no. Now from the bootloader menu, choose recovery. Do you successfully boot to recovery now, hopefully?
Ok, I got that, I put cyanogens latest release candidate from 5/5 on the card, I have Ra's recovery up, i guess i jumped ahead and the install aborted, tips please.

So what part aborted? When you were flashing the rom? Just to clarify, you did successfully get the recovery flashed, right? Now it's the rom you're having trouble flashing?
If so, I'd be sure that you don't have a corrupted download. Check the md5 checksum, or simply try redownloading it and trying again. Good luck.
It starts to install the ROM, then it all of a sudden aborts after getting 50-75 percent complete. I'm trying RC 7.3 now, wala, it worked, well i have an extra evo now i need to figure out what to do with it. BIG THANKS.

You're welcome, glad you got it squared away.
As far as having two Evo's...just be careful. If I'm not mistaken, when you report a phone lost or stolen to Sprint, they will make the ESN bad. I'd check into that, to make sure that one them doesn't have a bad ESN. I didn't even catch that part of your OP that you had already gotten a new one, lol.
So I guess that will make the phone useless if I give it to my father in-law.

I was getting soo frustrated.
Don't worry man. You helped me out too. Now I don't look like a **** this week
Good evening everyone,
I've been scanning the forums and everyone's problems seems a little different. First of all, i was running CM10 and missed some of the sense features, so i jumped to ViperX.
1. Everything seemed fine on first run, got the snakey tail, but then i noticed it was hanging just after this with the "Htc quietly brilliant" screen and snakey long gone!
2. So i reboot my phone, this time, it just hung on the first start screen and never so much as flinched.
3. I booted into recovery (CWM) and couldn't even get there, it was like a blink of the recovery screen and then it vanished and rebooted, I wiped everything clean by doing a factory reset and tried to reboot again. Same result.
4, Flashed TWRP and managed to get into recovery mode and install ViperX again but on reboot I'm stick at that same ol' "quietly brilliant" screen, this time with no snakey.
I can get into hboot to use fastboot and into recovery in TWRP but cannot get into the OS. I'm not clear as to whether this is a problem with hboot or the way the rom is installed but any suggestions or such about how i've gone about things and how to go about getting around this problem would be great! Gracias! :good:

Strangely, and by the luck of trial and error, I tried 2 boot images. The first was for CM10 (again, this was trial and error) and now i've just rebooted from the ViperX one and managed to get back in. Back up in progress! Phewww!!!!
You get my thanks for replying anyhow!
Im in big trouble right now...
I had installed the StockPlusRom, and for some reason servers went down, so i decided to do a fresh start, boot into CMW and instead of wiping, and also format everything, after that, it obviosly broke everything, after that i tried sideloading (via CMW) 2 different OTA updates, with success, but they get stuck at boot logo (logo freeze), so i tried the StockPlusRom again, and with that option, i only get a black screen...
Is there a way to fix this screwed up ouya?
thanks

Make sure to clear cache and dalvik. Not doing it can cause it to stay on the boot screen.
When it ends the install it will ask you if you want to keep recovery, I choose no... And tried to boot, but still gave me the freezing logo, but next time I tried I boot Into the original recovery, I installed from there the last version and it worked.
