Evo Stuck in Boot Look [HELP] - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant even boot into recovery. Any ideas? I was using it and it just restarted and I cant do anything at all. It goes to the white htc evo screen and then reboots into a loop. Device is rooted btw.

I've been getting similar issues. Do you happen to have an exchange account?

Boot into recovery, try wiping dalvic and cache.

Can you boot into the bootloader after a battery pull and replace, followed by holding volume down and power buttons at the same time?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I Couldnt get into recovery to wipe anything, nor unroot the device. Reflashing a recovery or RUU through the bootloader didnt work either. Luckily I was able to get a new EVO from my local Sprint store today even though my device was rooted! Came with 2.3.3. so I was sad that I wouldnt be able to root. Then I come online, and BAM! 2.3.3 got root access today! #WINNING
And BTW, I was tethering and sending a text when the phone suddenly rebooted and wouldnt stop. Wasnt cause by the root or flashing anything.

stuck in bootloop

i restarted my phone and its stuck on bootloop, what do i do?
Try reflashing the ROM without wiping. BTW, for better help, honestly, you need to explain a lot more than the 3-4 words you have posted.
Actually i got the same prob. I disconnected from usb without pressing turn off (i use cyanogen 7.0.3 stable). After doing so, adw launcher didnt seem to respond so i decided to reboot. After that, i got boot loop on reboot. Flashing the rom again seems to solve the problem, but only until next reboot. Any suggestions?

The same type of question,2-3 sentance, no spec of phone. Dude post your spec.
Else try a clean install, formatting boot,system,cache,dalivc cache,user data, ext , etc.

Nop,not necessarily. Cos some will do it as default. But some wont. But it will do no harm if u do, other than consuming 2-5 minutes .

Ok , then the option remaining is restore from backup. If u have the backup of current rom, go to advanced backup in cwm and do system resrore only. And check if it works. If it wont, do full wipe and do a complete restore. No more optns.:-(

i dont have a backup, unfortunantly, looks like i will have to wait until future releases of splash ics then to see if the problem is with other wildfires trying to run that ROM or if it is just mine :-(
Should i redownload the rom to see if that works for me?
Tried wiping data/cache/dalvik cache/system/data-factory reset, and then reflash? 1st boot always takes more time btw.

Let me guess.. you used the darkside cache wipe. That's the only way to break CWM. Flash this.
http://db.tt/6lVWyHhD
Its TWRP 2.3.0.0. It should lock up when it says installation complete. When it does just hold down the power button and reset your phone and boot back into TWRP instead of CWM. FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE STOP USING WIPE SCRIPTS.

Twrp recovery restarting

Hey guys nothing major here it's just that every time I reboot to recovery, in the middle, twrp just restarts and goes back to the splash screen. Then it does the transistion and everything is good. But it gets pretty annoying and scary. When I was wiping system to test my rom, the recovery just restarted and I was freaked out. But it reloaded again.
Any ideas. If not, I'll just deal with it. But I will never, I repeat, never go to CWM.
Have you tried to reflash twrp again? Did the problem persist?

Awesome phone. Too quirky

Simply unlocking boot loader and flashing stock rooted rom nearly bricked my phone and definitely bricked wife's phone. Now my wife is on her old evo due to bricking and I don't want to go through this again on the my lg when jelly bean comes out next month. HTC was much easier and more reliable. Just my 2 cents.

I have done this 3x on two different phones using TWRP and have not had one issue. I am not sure what happened but I promise you it was not the phone. CWM is buggy, so I see why your wife's phone is messed up. However I can only assume you have some corrupted download to explain your issues on the other phone. I have also walked a kindergarten teacher with no computer skills beyond word through this over instant message with no problems.

Reinstall drivers. Use tsilenzios automated lgnpst install which has drivers. Then flash stock.

Yea I dont think you like the phone, there is nothing quirky about this phone. Its fast looks beautiful and has awesome battery life.
I like other members have used all the tools avail to root on 6 different phones and haven't had a single issue.
If your flashing stock deodexed ZV9 over ZV8 then you absolutley going to need to wipe everything and only use twrp at the current moment as it is the most stable recovery we have.
There is never a reason to not do a full factory reset wipe cache/dalvik cache other than being lazy , and yes I understand that having to re-do all apps and contacts is a pain but if you use gmail to its potential ( all of us androiders should) then logging back into your account does most of the work and leaves no room for questions or error.
I've never had any issue at all with flashing

I've had zero issues doing a full wipe every time i flash a new ROM.
