evo has gone reboot happy. any ideas?

My evo has gone insane. Since a few days ago it was randomly reboot fairly often. Now as of a couple hours ago it pretty much reboots as soon as it boots up.
I have re wiped everything and reflash rom (was using fresh), then i wiped and tried damage control, then i wiped and nandroided back to before problems started (from ava's 2.2 rom leak)
all 3 result in reboots galore.
Any ideas at all? should i considering a stock 2.2 rom to break root and return to sprint?

My buddy had this issue and it ended up being his GPS that was making the phone reboot overtime the phone tried to use a location service. Could be anything but a call to Sprint and he was given his MSL and walked through how to reset everything and it works like a charm now.

Are you overclocking at all? If you are, scale that back some.

nope. im not doing anything. it wont even run a fresh stock 2.2 rooted rom without rebooting even after full wipe/reflash

What recovery are you using, and how are you doing the wipes?
If you are using clockwork, here's what I always do when flashing a rom that requires a wipe.
I wipe from the first menu, where it says clear storage.
Then I reboot and go into recovery, wipe data from there. Then I wipe cache. Then I go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. I've never had an issue like yours since doing that.
Maybe try that?

Ive used both clockwork and RA in about every combination possible through every wipe method I have ever read about. Its driving me nuts nothing is working i cant even get it to boot up now before it reboots

That sounds like faulty hardware at this point.

im trying to unroot and cant even seem to get that to work. I am on hboot 79 for some reason, trying to downgrade to 76 but cant connect with abd via recovery. you normally are able to, right? I cant boot the rom to turn on debugging and abd that way..

ok, using an official RUU i get an
"error [140]: bootloader version error"
for some reason my hboot is 0.79 not 0.76
trying to flash the pre-leaked "official" 2.2 rom i get error saying no signature
trying to do step 2 of toast root over again (to get 0.76 hboot back) also is not working. I am getting "older version" error on the pc36img part

[HELP] Problem with flashing Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5

Ok heres the deal.. Im a noob and have only flashed one rom since root so im real fresh to this.
My set up is as follows: rooted with unrevoked running cyanogen 6.1.2 i flashed amen ra 2.3. I dowloaded the Rom and Radio/Wimax updates and flashed according to the instructions on Myn's OP.
It boots fine but after about 60 seconds of being booted i get roughly 4-6 force close notifications. One for the market, messages, media, android process and the others i cant remember. Any ideas of what went wrong?
I really like the look and feel of this rom so I REALLY REALLY need all the help i can get on this.
Please help..

You did a full wipe prior to flashing right? Maybe try re-wiping everything, then flashing the rom again.

Do you mean a all user data/factory reset? If so then no. I wiped data, cache & dalvik tho. I also tried three different sources for the rom download and flashed all three and got the same results each time.

When you flash a new rom, you should always wipe EVERYTHING: cache, data, factory reset, and dalvik. Try doing it again with wiping all of this first.

Your EVO needs a WIPE!! I prefer to use C's Format All Zip TWICE as well as separately wipe Cache and Dalvik TWICE. After first boot, I like to reboot to recovery and wipe the Dalvik two more times. Reboot, fix permissions, reboot and you should be good to go.

Thanks guys.. I will try that right now and let you know how it turns out..
Can any one tell me where to find the cs format?
And do I need to format my sd card?

Hey man. Attatched is a copy of Calkulin's Format all. You flash it in recovery, and it wipes everything. It ensures a solid wipe. Use your recovery to wipe data/factory reset, cache, and davlik cache two times each. Then flash this zip in recovery. Then reflash the ROM. That should do the trick for you, Myn's runs good and clean!
Edit: And no, you do not need to format your SD card.

I wanna say thanks to all you guys for your help. I have it installed and running great.
If any of you have any recommendations for mods I'm open to suggestions..

Evo stuck on boot animation screen - CM7

I just flashed a fresh cm7 rc4, along with gapps, and zendroid kernel (avs i think i'm not sure which one).
Things were working great. I was using the phone, had just installed widget locker, and then tried to plug my phone into the computer.
Thats when the trouble started. For some reason, usb debugging worked, even the wireless tether worked, but I could not get the sd card to be on the computer, the option just never came up.
To fix the problem, I tried resetting the phone, but when I did so the phone became stufk on the cm7 boot animation for a few hours. What do I do?
I would just do a fresh install, but this is actually the third time that I have gotten stuck on the bootloading screen with cm7, so I just need to find a solution. Please help.

Really need some help with this, guys...need my phone back

You're not alone. I installed GApps along with CM7. Stuck in Boot animation. My wife is pissed.

You posted in the wrong section. I will transfer this over to the EVO Q&A area.
I am assuming that you have your EVO rooted. If you are stuck in a bootloop, simply pull your battery, put it back in and press the power button while holding Vol Down. This will make you go into bootloader. From there, simply go into recovery, wipe everything, and reflash the rom. I have done CM7 and gapps and have no issue.

I did that, many times. One time, it just worked. Didn't do anything different as far as I know, but kind of makes me unsure about future flashes etc.

Pull your battery out, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery. Flash ONLY CM7 and the google apps. I think the kernel might be the problem for the bootloop.

I never wipe any of those things seperately, I just use calkulin's format all. That couldn't be the source of any problems right?? I mean, I always believed that that was the best way.

Thanks. I ended up doing that. All is better now.

My problem was installing both at the same time.

I've used Caulkin's format all twice, and both times, I got stuck in the white screen boot loop and had to reflash Amon Ra, just to get back to recovery and flash one of my nandroids.
Wiping everything in recovery works perfectly fine for me.

I use Calk's format all at least a few times a week, sometimes a couple times a day. Always works fine.

Did you wipe?
Did you wipe the data/cache from the handset? if not do so through clockwork

Did I Brick my EVO?

I was flashing radio, wimax, NV, PRI. I was trying to fix android os from showing up on the battery. I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 put to root of sd. Flashed one by one, each one cleared my cache upon returning to recovery. I did not reboot phone completely after each flash, I flashed the next one, all in a row. Can I be saved?
Please help

Is your phone not turning on...or what's 'not' happening?

I reboot and it stuck at splash for 15 minutes. I pull battery, I reboot to bootloader then recovery. I wipe and flashing cyanogen again. I hope it works.

Boot into the bootloader, and verify that the correct radio you flashed is displayed there; if so, go into recovery from the bootloader, do a full wipe [factory/data, cache, dalvik cache], then flash your version of CM7, wipe cache and dalvik again, flash the latest gapps, then reboot.

Its fixed! Thank you for taking the time to help. I been flashing for a while and forgot my user/pass, dont have the same email either, lol. Thanks again

Lawlz, it happens, and you're welcome.

I'm asking if I bricked my EVO as well...I'm new to the whole rooting, ROM, Kernel thing, so I was very nervous to jump into the deep end.
I rooted successfully, took a nandroid backup, then flashed Deck's new ROM, and a kernel. When I selected "reboot" it wouldn't boot.
Can you guys think of anything I did wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

False alarm! I rebooted the phone into recovery and restored the backup that I just took. I flashed the ROMS and Kernel, then rebooted and now all seems to be working.
Man, that almost gave me a heart attack!

Glad its working; just make sure to backup, then do a full wipe before flashing a new rom. If flashing multiple things, wipe the cache and dalvik between flashes.

Boot loop, tried installing MIUI

This is really bothering me. I've attempted to flash into MIUI but I am stuck on the boot screen and it's just staying there. I tried two different sources of MIUI, the latest being from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527 - the thread for MIUI Evo 4G.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I don't know how to make this work. This has been my first try at installing a custom ROM. I already have a backup readily available.
I have tried removing my battery and restarting the phone. How do I fix my problem?
Edit: I have tried clearing dalvik cache and data cache. No go.

Gad the same prob... but didnt bother to ask... i just loaded cm7.. but i would like to try miui lol
sent from my supersonic evo .:CM7:.

That isn't helpful and doesn't contribute to the thread in any way.

I'll first ask the usual question: did you wipe everything (factory reset/wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system, boot, and sd android secure) before flashing the new ROM?
And have you tried to download from this site?
http://miui.us/

Use amon RA recovery, flash a format all zip (you can find it with a quick search) and then flash miui
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
