Ok, so here is my story:
I rooted way back in July right after I got my Evo, so I started on Android 2.1. I flashed and used OMJ's ROM for quite a while until I discovered Cyanogen mod, which I switched to after trying OMJ's 2.2 ROM.
I used CM6 for a long time, eventually flashing some nightly builds, culminating in nightly build number 140. At some point in this process, I started having real trouble with bootlooping CONSTANTLY (and I couldn't even make a nandroid backup because it would reboot inside the backup process). I eventually got it to stop bootlooping after many many reboots and wipes (full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe) and restarts and got CM to boot.
I just now flashed CM6.1 and started getting constant bootloops again. I assumed it was a problem with CM, so I decided eff it, I'm going with a different ROM and downloaded Calkulin's EViO 1.5 rom to try, but it can't boot either.
I can get to the android screen, which displays no signal, then it reboots. I can't get out of this cycle. When I was on CM, I had issues with starting up - I had to hold down the power button quickly and press airplane mode, then it would reboot again, but it would come all the way up. Then once it was fully booted I could disable airplane mode and it would stay online. After that point, I just decided never to reboot the phone, but this is a huge problem that I can't figure out how to fix.
I have tried wiping using Clockwork and Amon Ra, but neither makes a difference.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!!
it reboots while making nandroid? So even if you hold vol down + power and go to the recovery from there it is rebooting?

Correct, I hold volume down + power to get into recovery, then choose nandroid and backup, then while it is creating a nandroid backup, it reboots.
Does anyone have any ideas? At this point, I have no clue what to do, and I can't boot into any ROM.
If you Google it you'll see its an incredibly common problem not just with those of us who have modded our phones but those with stock roms who have never done so it happened to me when I originally flashed cm6 to my phone as well but it eventually fixed itself if you can get it to boot try factory reset it may help

Factory reset just wipes your data using your recovery doesn't it? Either way, I've tried that, and no dice.
I mean, I guess at the very least I could try to bring the phone into Sprint... is there a shipped RUU I can flash so they can look at it?
edit: found the latest RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8474707)
I'm gonna try this and see what happens.

same problem. no solution. i am now fully bricked, aka i reboot before i can pull down lockscreen (rom changes, unroot, nothing works) return before it gets so bad you cant unroot.
No good man I hope you got insurance

Ewe, thats no good. I would use the ruu but Do Not Use The Newest One. You will lose root and the new 3.30 people are having trouble rooting

same thing happening to me. Stuck in bootloop now, started out as just a random reboot that would boot than reboot than hold for a while. Right now im completely stuck in bootloop =(.
Is there a way to put a stock rom on my phone with just booting to recovery?
These sound like hardware issues but if your recovery is working fine then it may be something else. Did you try the RUU while in the recovery?
Just don't use the newest one

I was finally able to get to a point where I could get it to boot - here is what I did.
I wiped everything using amon ra's recovery, then flashed the latest cyanogen mod from here: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/supersonic/update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Supersonic-signed.zip, then when it booted, it would get constant bootloops, but it would get to the home screen for a few seconds each time.
You have to click through the intro menus reaaaallly freakin fast so you see the desktop with the live wallpaper. DON'T sign into a google account. It will probably bootloop again, and if it doesn't, quickly hold down the power button and select airplane mode. If it reboots again, it will power up completely successfully in airplane mode. Then make sure you're in an area of good signal and disable airplane mode until you have 3G, and then sign into a google account. If it starts bootlooping again, quickly hold the power button and press airplane mode - you can always boot successfully in airplane mode for some reason...

It could be hardware related, but I'm not 100% sure at this point...
The reboots seem to be correlated with signal strength. If I have 1 bar of signal (in CM, so not cell signal), it will reboot before it gets to 3G.
Also any flash on a website reboots the phone for some reason. I don't know if that's common or not.
Hey XDA i have tried nearly everything i could think of and have asked nearly every one i know how to get the phone unstuck from the boot screen.. i hit the power button and get HTC evo 4g screen... on bootloader screens i get missing tmp boot image errors on everything i do..
-- all i did last night was flash the rom manager to 2.5.0.1 then booted into recovery, performed hard wipe, cleared partition, cleared the datviz or whatever that one is did all that x2 loaded virus airborne v5.1 then rebooted and bam STUCK...
-- im new at this android thing but this crash is such bs in my eyes i have to be missing something... any help would be wonderful thanks in advance..
EVO 4g
My phone is rooted
im using MikG-v3.11-signed
*My phone was running slow, freezing, no text messages were coming in
* I went to my bootloader, then recovery, then wipe then wipe ALL userdata/factory reset
My phone turns on but now when it gets to the home, nothing is there like lock screen just a black screen
Is it bricked? If not, is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thank you!

Ok re-read what you just posted,"I went to my bootloader, then recovery, then wipe then wipe ALL userdata/factory reset"this means you dont have an operating system anymore,hence the black screen.Go back to recovery and rewipe everything and reinstall a rom or restore the nandroid you should have taken,then reboot and you should be good,now the reason your system is slowing down is the clutter on your internal and sd card,you need to backup,format and partition your sd card.
^^This.
I'm not sure how supported that particular ROM is anymore, so you might want to check the thread for that ROM and see if anybody else was having the same issues. Might not hurt to try something else.

For a while now I've been running a MIUI ROM without problems.
Today, the phone didn't want to wake up from sleep (tried using trackpad and power button).
I pulled the battery and started the phone back up but after the boot animation it went to black screen and wouldn't do anything from there.
I wiped cache and rebooted, went through the app checking but somewhere in the process crashed and went to black screen.
After several failed tries of pulling the battery and trying to reboot but only getting black screen, I did a full wipe and tried installing a new ROM but have not been able to boot into it.
According to the ROM installation everything went fine, but when I boot the phone up it starts trying to boot the MIUI boot animation then goes to black screen even though I did a full wipe and flashed a new ROM.
After doing various full wipes and sdcard formats, the phone doesn't seem to want to boot into anything even if I flash a rom, and recovery keeps loading up in Safe Mode due to a problem with /cache.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I tried taking advantage of my rooted phone and try to nandriod back up my phone. to get ready to download custom rom and before i even did .that i completed the back up then i rebooted the phone and got stuck on the " tmobile 4gLte" on the turn on screan. i remove the battery and it happens all over again. :crying: :crying:
my father will kill me helpp please he bought me this and i messed it up.
PLEASE HELP Me Fix this i would appreciate it.
Keep it on that screen for about 7 minutes, the little letters are like, moving or pulsating right? If yes, then just keep waiting.
What rom are you installing?
If you still get nothing:
boot back into recovery
Wipe everything (data, factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, system)
Flash rom again.
Reboot.
If it still doesnt work, you will have to Odin back to stock (refer to this thread):

Hello, don't worry. What you're looking for is to un-brick your device. I recommend following the directions here:

Ignore the part about the Binary counter unless you plan on hacking this more (and dangerously) to try and keep your warranty.
