Continuous Bootloop

hello,
I have a boot loop issue going on right now leaving my phone useless at the moment. Here is the issue....
This morning I flashed * update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Supersonic-signed * and proceeded to backup all my apps and system data from a previous Titanium Backup batch backup. During the backup, the phone rebooted and now I'm in a continous bootloop only displaying the white HTC Evo 4G logo. The screen comes on for a few seconds, then turns off and reboots again in a continuous cycle.
I have pulled the battery and held down power and volume down button. In this white boot screen when I try to get into recovery, it goes to the white HTC Evo 4g splash screen and into continuous reboots again.
Here is my set up.
SUPERSONIC EVT-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041F
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16AC
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root EVO
When plugged into computer, the phone and the computer recognize each other but I cannot see the phone in my computer and also not seen in device manager. I tried this and was unsuccessful... * Stock 3.30.651.2 PC36IMG.ZIP Format *
Phone: HTC Evo
Requirement: NAND unlock S-OFF (this allows for unsigned ROM)
Format: PC36IMG.ZIP
OS: 3.30.651.2 (2.6.32-15 Kernal)

WIMAX: 26023
PRI Version: 1.77_003

Anyone know what is going on and how to fix this ?
Thanks

You might have a bad sdcard. Try to see if you can go into recovery.

I had titanium backup restarting my rom.
(My post from when that was happening.
Mine didn't get stuck in a boot loop though.)
Turned out there was a problem with BusyBox Versions.
Boot into recovery,
Restore nand backup,
Get BusyBox Installer from the market
Update to the same version you used to back up with.
Not sure if that will help, but it fixed my reboot issue.
Remember Hold Vol Down THEN press the power button.

I have tried to access Recovery but when I select it, it reboots to the white HTC evo 4g screen and goes back into that continuous screen reboot...essentially going no where towards booting anything.
Armon RA recovery BTW
is there a PC36IMG that I can put on the sd card to boot from? I dont care about having to re-root if necessary.
Thanks

How is this done ?
Thanks

Found this thread.
I've never used it though.
It seems to have stock 3.30 + Clockwork recov.

you remembered to wipe your data & cache & dalvik right?
Edit: Sorry I misread your post, try taking out your battery and sitting your phone in front of a fan to cool it off. If that helps odds are you have one of the defective radios and need a new phone.

I have tried 3.30 + Clockwork PC36IMG as described above...no luck.
My computer doesn't recognize the phone via USB. The only thing I can think of is to use HBOOT USB ?
Like I previously mentioned in the first post, everything I try results in that continuous bootloop.
The only thing that has produced some results was an PC36IMG but didn't boot the phone or restore the recovery option.

Boot Loops and cant get into Recovery/Factory Reset in HBOOT

I was trying out a custom rom when my phone suddenly goes into boot loops. I can get to HBOOT but it bootloops when I choose recovery, factory reset, or clear storage. I get the splash image then it reboots after a few seconds.
My phone:
Incredible AMOLED
S-OFF
Hboot v .92
Baseband 7.28
What I did so far in HBOOT only with no success:
-formated my sd to fat32 and
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of radio 7.28 ( I was on 9.01 )
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of 2.2 RUU (got back the HTC splash since I had the Chicago Bears splash on it)
-flash the PB31IMG.zip of Clockwork Mod 2.5.05
-connected the USB and rerun the Unrevoked (see if I can reroot) but it won't connect to the phone. Just wait for device.
I want to S-ON so I can send it back but I can't get past Hboot to get to recovery mode. Is their another way to return S-ON by just flashing PB31IMG? I'm really screwed now and its Thanksgiving.
TIA

That's Qualcomm Diagnostics mode, because you pressed vol up while booting the phone with a USB cable attached. That will only happen when you have S-OFF.
To get out of diag mode, unplug the usb cable, take the battery out, wait a few seconds and then boot as normal.
With respect to the OP..the only way to get S-ON is using the S-ON patch by unrevoked. If your HBOOT is verion .92 then you didn't flash an RUU (maybe the latest RUU has a newer hboot? didn't think so). You should flash an older RUU, like the 2.1 one.

in hboot right now this is what it says...
"INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICROP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_12ab

so it looks like it flashed back to stock but still odd boot problem

Regardless if you're booting into HBOOT make sure you're holding volume down and not up.
HBOOT is version .92 now for stock? I didnt know that.

[Q] BRICKED DINC running cyanogen7! please help

So I was running Cyanogen 7.0 for a couple weeks now and have tried a few others. I downloaded it with clockworkmod and everything was fine until I updated it to the newest one and while it was updating my phone died. Now it is just stuck in blue boot screen with the arrow going around and around. I tried Hboot but every one I pick including recovery, clear storage, and factory reset just gets me stuck on Dinc white boot screen. Trackball isn't responsive here so I us power and when I try to boot with up volume or both up and down with power it just vibrates a couple times and doesn't do anything. (I have to pull battery after this to Hboot or boot with stuck C& screen.) Please help! I have been reading so many threads on here and Cyanogens forums and everyone else seems to fix it with recover from hboot or clockwork recover comes up for them. I am very stumped. I have had a rooted captivate, EVO, and tried moto atrix and back to captivate before deciding to try out Dinc (and verizon)

I had that problem a while ago. I recall using the the in revoked program all over again. Hope that helps

the only solution that I would think can work on this case if going back to stock.. since you said you can get in the HBOOT.. you could be able to go back to stock and then reroot you phone again... I was on similar situation once I flash the alternative recover in RM... and I couldnt get to the Recovery and I had to go back to stock by putting the PB31IMG in the HBOOT to get it working..

How do I go back to stock by putting the PB31IMG in the HBOOT?

Download the file and place it on your sdcard once you get to the HBOOT its gonna ask you if you wanna update.. then just vol - for yes and you are good to go...

Similar Problem
I am facing a similar situation with my Incredible. I was running CM7.0.3 when my phone randomly restarted but only got to the white "HTC Incredible" screen before looping over again.. and again..
I have tried loading the stock image (used the files from dougpiston site) as well as others through the HBOOT but I still cannot get past the "HTC Incredible" boot screen.
Is there something that I am missing? Does anyone else have a suggestion? I know it isn't bricked since I can still get to the HBOOT but I just can't seem to get it to boot an image. I did notice it is still "S-Off" if that matters.

If you cannot get into recovery and flashing a recovery from hboot doesn't work, you may need a new phone. This was mentioned in another thread somewhere recently.

Make sure your sd card is formatted to fat32.

[Q] Help?

Phone just started a bootloop cycle last night.
Boots up to white HTC Evo 4G screen then powers off and does it all over again.
Can get into bootloader, no recovery, it simply will not go. Just turns off and goes into bootloop cycle again.
Bootloader looks nasty -
hboot - 0.93
radio - 2.15.00.11.19
I've tried reflashing Amon RA as a PC36IMG (still can't get to recovery)
I've tried RUU install from windows (completes fine but phone still does same thing)
I've tried flashing radios for other devices (to brick, won't effing brick)
I've tried pulling battery 40+ times at different times of flashing images from bootloader
I'm about 2 minutes away from trying 2-4 second microwave bursts
Any ideas?
Sorry if wrong forum section

Evo doesn't boot

Hi, guys.
Have a problem with my Evo 4G.
It's S-OFF, rooted, and have custom recovery (made my unrevoked). There was also MIUI (different versions) as a firmware for more than a year.
Few days ago while laying on the table Evo just became rebooting in a cycle. After battery remove nothing changed. Just showing HTC Evo logo and then vibrate one time and reboot to the same logo and so on.
I've tried to wipe the phone from a recovery, phone just halted until battery remove. Evo just lied for about a week, than i tried to do wipe once more and that worked and after reboot everything was working, but in a few days reboots came over again.
But now i can't even enter the recovery mode. I choose "Recovery" in bootloader and getting Logo + vibrate again and again.
Is that a death for my Evo or i can try some methods to revive it?
PS: there were no programs installations prior to reboots happen. Phone just lied on the table for a few hours or at night.

Updated hboot to the latest 2.18. unlocked it.
Flashed clockworkmod with bootloader (PC36IMG method), also amon ra with "fastboot recovery". With no luck. Can't enter the recovery.
Tried installing RUU, everything fine... except it doesn't boot anyway...
Any other way to try?

I've tried:
1) Remove battery then insert and wait until it charges, then try to power on.
2) Update hboot and re-root it (it was S-OFF, but still made lock off)
3) Re-write recovery, tried clockworkmod and amon ra with hboot update and with fastboot
4) installed RUU (and it passed without any troubles)
5) "Clear storage" from hboot
what else can i try to revive my Evo ?

While I haven't seen this in awhile, you can do a search and see that this isn't a totally rare experience. It's possible you have the same issue other phones have had with bad partitions (Not on the SDCard). If so, it's basically a brick

Yeah, it does sound a lot like the infamous bootloop of death.
You may not have any options. Unless you want to send it to me. I doubt I can do anything with it, but I'm always willing to try.
