I want to know if anyone knows what the problem/solution of this is. I have a 0003 Evo, the panel that only supports 3 pt touch, ROM doesnt matter, on the ENG HBOOT for CM, AMON RA 2.3
That sums up my phone, the problem is I'm always stuck at the splash screen for 3-4 minutes when booting up. If im booting to Bootloader or Recovery it's quick, hot reboot never reaches the splash screen so thats whatever, but reboot, or powering down then turning on my evo gets me stuck at the splash screen for quite some time. This is my second evo, and continues to do this despite the ROM I use and despite the splash screen image I use. Whats the problem/fix because so far it's only this specific evo.. I've tried google, everyone is complaining about erasing boot, that isnt my problem since everything else of the phone works just fine.

huh?
Anyway, are you wiping data/cache/dalvik everytime you flash a new rom?

What exactly is the problem? It takes a long time to boot? You said it boots up eventually, or I assumed that since you said everything else on the phone works fine.

when i boot up, it is stuck on the splash screen for 3-4 minutes, and then boots up normally. I'm wondering if all that time on the splash screen is normal or if i screwed something up since it takes so long to get to the boot animation
mine takes that long

That's not abnormal. My phone takes anywhere between 30 seconds and 4 minutes to get past the splash screen. This is especially apparent if you've just flashed something. Don't worry, it's just your phone loading

really? I was messing with my friends evo and his screen was there for only 10 seconds, he was unrooted. Is this a side effect of being rooted?

You can by staying on a rom (Of course only to a certain point)
I don't know if I'd say mine stays at the white htc screen for 3-4 min, but close to a good min for sure. Have you actually timed it at 3-4 min?
Once it reaches the boot animation, it's typically ~30 seconds before the UI comes up.

yeah I have timed it, came out to 230 on avg with peaks at 3 minutes but generally around 230. I unrooted, then re-rooted my phone to get the latest hboot 2.1 and see if i screwed something up when rooting and after i unrooted i got past the splash screen quickly, and after rooting it still got past quickly. could it have been my hboot? i was on 0.76, gonna flash 0.93 if i cant keep the current hboot and have Salvage GB at the same time

I suppose it could be the hboot ver, but am not familiar enough with it to say for sure. It's been over a month since I had hboot 2.10, and I don't reboot the phone THAT often to pay much attention to it. FWIW, I've compared mine (hw ver 0003) to a launch day 100% stock evo. Both go through the splash and animation in roughly equal time.
Yours might be delayed because you're running GB?

Does anyone elses DInc 2 take forever to boot up after hitting restart. I swear mine takes like 5 minutes at least. Also the boot animation doesnt last for the whole boot up time. The droid eye moves back and forth twice then just sits there and doesnt move. Seems like a oversite on HTC. Thoughts?
it does take a little bit of time, but 5 minutes?? wow.. you could always go into settings and change to quick boot.
Here's what I'm wondering. If quick boot is available, why would any of us ever use regular boot? Is there some advantage to long boot?
Same problem here. Five minutes may be an exaggeration, but it takes at least two minutes or so. And it seems to make no difference whether I have Quick Boot checked or not. Could this have something to do with running Launcher Pro instead of Sense?
yeah i'm not sure either. but the description says that some market applications/services are disabled if you use quick boot.
When I select restart it does take about 2 minuets to fully boot, but when I just turn it on with its booted in under 20 seconds, quick boot enabled.

Mine sort of freezes on the Droid eye as well. Mainly with the eye and two black dots to the right of it. It doesn't sit there for long though, but definitely noticeable. I have quick boot on as well.

So I just flashed the radio update and i rebooted then it went back to the reboot screen it says its formatting cache at the bottom. Should i wait till thats done or just reboot now. For what its worth I just flashed the new evovled rom R3charged.... its been sitting on this screen for like 40 min now. I can go up/down on the recovery menu thats why i asked should i just try to reboot.
Yeah, you can reboot now. The first time I flashed radios, I did the same thing, stared at that screen for like 20 minutes, wondering....

Funny you mention this. AR 2.3 always sits there saying "formatting cache" even though its done when you do a radio flash. I too waited longer than normal and finally just rebooted via AR. All was well. I'm not sure why it does this.
SO, about this radio update, I came into this late, not realizing there were new radios, sorry if I missed a few things.
1, are you guys not rolling PRI back to 1.77 anymore?
2, what's with the Profile update people have reported?? is this across the board, a problem or just random? And I never heard of a Data Profile, Reset. WTH is that?

thx i got tired of waiting after about an hour and took a chance and rebooted so everything worked out. I was nervous for a lil while watching the formatting cache screen lol
Yeah, when you know that it could brick your phone, it's nerve wracking
Swyped From The Hippest Phone Using XDA Premium
Installed via clockworkmod . . .
I just installed the combo file via clockworkmod recovery. Everything went well, so I thought I'd document my experience to keep anyone from having a heart attack while waiting to find out whether or not they just bricked their phone.
The initial flash took about 2 seconds to complete.
After rebooting, I got the icon of the open box with a yellow arrow coming out and pointing at the Android robot. That lasted for about 60 seconds, then the standard htc EVO 4G splash screen popped up.
That was then followed by a similar box-arrow-Android screen with a progress bar along the bottom, which lasted for about 30 seconds.
Finally, the standard splash screen appeared again, which held for about 60 seconds, then my ROM loaded just fine, although it took about 2 minutes to do so.
Not exactly scientific, but I also documented a speed increase after updating. A speed test from 3 weeks ago had me at 1131/82kbps. Just now, I got 1567/115kbps. I probably should have done the test _before_ updating to have a better comparison, but this is what I've got.
Last time there was a radio update, there was pc36img version, with all 4 updates in it. You could see it loading all three in Hboot. This time, I can only fined the radio itself, so I guess I need to do it in recovery, which freaks me out.
BTW, how is everything? Any noticeable differences?

Flashed all of the new updates, even though I had the only thing that was needed updating was the radio. Reprovisioned data, and I have to say: the previous radio, I got very little cell standby drain. This new radio, even lower drain.
Signal seems to hold better too. Speeds seem equivalent, have not run a speed test yet.
Hello,
Ever since I rooted my phone I've been having this issue...the first image on boot, the clock work mod splash screen takes an awfully long time...like 20-25 seconds before it goes to the boot screen animation where it takes another 20 -25 seconds, is there any way to speed things upand get the phone to boot up as fast as a non rooted device? I'm using AIO Runny 4.01
Thanks
any one knows a way to solve this??
Maybe nobody (me also) gets why this is a problem for you?

well just my opinion buddy......I don't see the need to fix your issue...as I find it normal....I myself takes 30sec or so before I managed to get into CWM Recovery....
You just need to be patient......unless there is a "real" issue behind it.
Hey
Thanks for the replies. I guess I wasn't clear...
It stays on the first screen - the one with the Joker for 20 - 25 seconds before switching to boot animation where it takes another 20 seconds....thats like almost 45 secs of booting time.
I don't remember it taking that long before rooting? Is it normal??
Thanks
If it is under 1 minute you have got to suck it up my friend...as it is fairly typical. Mine seems to roughly to take up to 50 seconds.
However there are apps available such as rescan media root from the android market. Run the app and select the option to disable media scanner. It basically stops media scan to run on boot, therefore theoretically should save a lot of boot time and make the phone boot faster.
Thanks alot mate!
Hey, this is my first post so let me first say sorry if I'm doing something wrong here and thanks a ton to anyone who can help me out in some way...
So long story short - I just looked down at my phone and it was on the white "Evo 4G" screen, so I thought it must have just restarted for some reason (which has never happened, but I usually try to remain optimistic) and I went about my business...about 10/15 minutes later it was still on the white screen, so I pulled the battery and left it out for a minute and then tried turning it on again. No luck-right back being stuck at the white screen. So I pulled the battery again and waited about a half hour before trying with my other battery, which is definitely fully charged and cool, and it is still sticking at the white screen. I don't know what the heck is going on. Anyway, I have an Evo 4G running Warm 2.2 with some netarchy kernel of some sort (one that is suggested on his thread) if that even matters. I can get into recovery, but that's actually another set of issues in itself so if this can be solved without doing a restore I'd prefer that. Okay, sorry to give too many details. Thanks again to anyone who has any thoughts!
this is why you make nandroid backups
If you do happen to have a recent nandroid backup you might wanna restore to that, otherwise the only other other option I can suggest which may still not work but it's worth a try...
recovery > wipe cache > wipe dalvich cache > flash the same warm 2.2 zip you are running and do not flash the custom kernel just yet, see it that gets you to boot

I would suggest wiping cache and dalvik cache and trying to boot up the phone again. I have ran into this a few times using the fastboot option, otherwise never had the problem.
I bought my second hand HTC DHD almost a month ago. I used AAHK to unlock it, S-off and Sim unlock. But its really bugging me that whatever ROM I use (AOKP, CM, ARHD, Blackout) it keeps on shutting down on itself at least once a day. I had to press the power button to turn it on and it just do a normal reboot from black screen then everything goes to normal again. First, I thought its just a ROM or Kernel issue. But when it happens on every ROM I flash, that tells me that there's something else. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem. This is what my boot loader says:
HBOOT - 0.85.2425
MICROP-0438
RADIO - 26.17.14.11_M
Anything else you need to know?
Thanks a lot!

how would I know? most probably stock battery. I bought it second hand, but the battery runs well. I tried pressing the battery cover in all areas to see if its a connection problem, esp the one above the + sign. Nothing happened. The sudden death usually occurs during the day when Im not using my phone. Do you think its hardware?

Personally, my first guess would be an old battery, so my first move would be to try another battery.

Or try it with the phone connected to the charger if you don't have acces to a new battery.
