I've search up and down all night looking for a solution for my problem. The other I let my lil cousin play with my phone. Somehow he got into the recovery and started formatting everything. After I found out my sd card was cleared completely I was like "its ok just put the rom back on the sd card and flash it" lets just say it didn't work. Each time it gets stuck at the splash screen. I was thinking maybe the custom splash is locking it up but I'm not sure on what to do. Anyone got any advice on what to do so I can get my phone back up and running?

If it were me ... I would start over, reflash the recovery image, do a complete wipe, and flash a full rooted rom/radio image. Once everything is back working, update profile, prl, and then move on to your custom rom of choice.
i've re-flashed the recovery image and everything
I've tried flashing Synergy but just isn't happening. Could the custom splash be effecting it?
So after a while messing with i stuck my ad card in my friends hero to see if the data,android.secure file etc etc would have any effects but nope

When you wiped, did you use something like Calkulin's "format all" zip? If you already did that then I would try going back to a stock splash image. Perhaps something went wrong with the splash image install.
Grab one of these PC36IMG.zip here and put it on your SD card.
It contains the stock splash screen and will basically RUU you. You will still have S-Off. Just get the one that corresponds with your HBoot. Then try reflashing recovery and wiping everything 3 times and flashing the ROM of your choice.

Both experiencing the same problem,
One UD 8.0 got stuck in loop after I tried installing Koush Kernel
2nD one is running CM6.0.1, was fine until I tried using to read Phone #1s MicroSD to figure out what was wrong.
2nd phone (CM6) then restarted randomly while plugged into PC, which started the bootloop.
Tried everything, nandroid (Couldn't mount /Data), I wiped, factory reset, tried reflashing update.zip for CM6 phone.
Both phones are completely useless, not sure what to do at this point and CM6's owner was leaving town.
Any ideas? Ultimate way to unbrick a DINC? If you know of anything, please help.
A boot loop is not a brick. I would nandroid back to stock(you did this right?) or use an RUU.

Does this mean you can get into hboot?
If yes, you should be able to ruu an official release..

I do not have a great deal of experience, but since you can get in recovery, place King Kernel #3 on your SD card, boot into recovery and apply the KingKernals #3 zip file from your SD card for the 1st phone. See if that fixes it. Just sounds like incompatibility with the kernel if it happened right after you flashed it.

UD is an AOSP Rom, King's kernel does not support it at this time.
I would try a fresh install of the 8-26 leak. Do wipe first, then do dalvik wipe under advanced settings. Get deodexed version of rom Here
If that does not work let's get some information
Did you run unrevoked forever and get S-off status?
What radio version are you using?
You should not be borked if you are getting into recovery you should be fine.
@ToyTank
BOTH phones are - 2.05.00.6.11 S-ON, Neither are unrevoked forever.
Problem with phone 1 (UD) is that the SD card is completely messed up now. It's an 8GB that has nothing on it, the compuiter is reading it at 758MB. Any function of Recovery leads to errors mounting, so flashing stuff isn't working, nandroid as well.
Phone 2 (CM6) let's me flash stuff onto it, "Install from sdcard complete." but will continue into a bootloop when I restart the phone.
I attempted RUU last night and maybe I'm doing it wrong but the software is giving me an error connecting to USB. How should I go about installing the 8-26 leak? Just wipe > throw in PB31IMG and install?
I assume I don't need unrevoked forever for this, I tried 8-26 and flashed PB31IMG.zip, Device 2 Starts dancing until it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail". Anybody know a workaround?
Try formating the sd card to FAT32 using a computer. That might help with phone #1. Error with usb can be solved using these steps.
1. Try the RUU executable. it will give you that usb error, taking you to the black htc screen.
2. Exit the ruu program (leaving phone in that state) and run it again. This worked for me when I RUU'd mine.
Who knows though. It may have been a one shot deal.
sounds like you are trying a bunch of stuff without READING about what you are doing. you flashed kernels with a rom that CLEARLY states that they will not work and then you tried to flash unsigned roms through hboot which will not work without s-off and then you try to downgrade when you have the ota leak (radio 2.05) which will not work.
you either need to get the ruu working, get s-off applied or follow the steps to go back to stock hboot.
time for you to start doing your homework to get yourself out of this mess.
Neither are bricked. Ruu back to stock.
yeah bro not good practice
@Fretless, @Lafester, @GermanBrat. Thanks for the comments - going to try RUU 3.21.605 and report back.
Hey guys RUU worked for Phone 2 (CM6) but is not playing nice with Phone 1. USB connection error. I appreciate the help so far, any more ideas for this phone?
It's basically stuck in white htc inc screen and will go no further. It's completely wiped and nothing will mount in recovery. RUU can't detect a usb connection but the PC beeps when I connect via usb
Hey all. Running CM6.1 172 nightly. Launch day evo rooted with toasts 2 part.
Flashed zendroid last night. Booted and ran great, good scores on quadrant etc. Smooth as butta.
Rebooted to do a backup of the new setup. Boot loop, about 1 seconds on the splash screen each time. Not sure if its of relevance but its the fastest boot loop I've seen (day one g1 owner). Went to recovery to restore, and....boot loop after selecting recovery.
So I figure recovery image went bad somehow. Fastboot flash AmonRa1.8. Attempted to reboot into recovery. Aaaannddd....boot loops.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I should go next? I can get into bootloader. Had to do plenty of "repair" with the G1, but this is the first issue I've ran into with my Evo since launch day.
Cliffs: CM6.1. Flash zendroid. Runs fine. I reboot. Boot loops. Attempt to enter recovery. Boot loops. Fastboot flash recovery. Loop loop loop. No recovery, cant get into the operating system so no ADB.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just tried flashing PC36IMG.zip from toasts part 2. Still cant get past splash screen. Grrrr. It did however change my splash screen so I would guess it flashed fine. But it still looped after rebooting.
That sucks. Hopefully someone else will chime in. I've never had anything like that happen, but from reading through xda, I've seen this happen to other people. Now I've never had to do it, so don't know the steps. But I think you can take your sd card out, and mount it in your pc. Load a stock RUU onto your sd card, then put the card back in the phone, and flash it from hboot. Then you'll be totally stock and have to start over, but I think that's what you should search about doing. I wish you luck, and hope someone who knows more than I can help more, or inform you of another way.

Hey thanks for lookin man. Yeah my next move is gonna be flashing a stock unrooted img see if I can get into Android. I already tried reflashing toasts 2nd pc36img.zip (launch day evo rooted with toast 2 part). Thanks for your input tho.
i would say unroot is your best option
So, I am pretty new to rooting. But i really effed up. I rooted my phone, got rom manager, and was having a great time. I tried to download a rom, it didnt work and the screen just got stuck on htc evo 4g all white screen. So, retardedly i decided it would be a good idea if i formatted everything in the boot screen, including my memory card. Is there anyway to fix this, or am i soh?
just realized this message is in the wrong place...i reposted in q&a if a mod wants to close this.

If your recovery is not there when you boot into it, you'll have to flash another one.
If you can get to recovery, just wipe everything and flash a different ROM already on your SD card, or put one on there through the recovery menu
Okay guys..First I would like to say that I am an avid viewer here and am pretty addicted to this site and come here everyday. Quick question though to anyone that can help me out. Today I decided to upgrade my Miui Rom on the Incredible 2. After it downloaded I went into recovery to install the new rom but forgot to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Next, after it booted up to boot animation it immediately went into bootloops over and over again and would not get past it no matter how long I waited. Finally, I turned off my phone and went into recovery and here's the kicker. I updated the radio previously, left it on my sd card, and when I went I tried to get to recovery all it does is update the radio again then tell me to reboot the phone, which it will not reboot. Is there anyway anybody knows how to delete the radio update from my sd card? or anyway around this so i can access recovery? Thanks in advance.
--Anthony--
What you wanna do, is take out the SD card, and boot into bootloader. Scroll down to recovery and right as your splash screen comes up, put it back in. Once recovery comes up, you should be good. It happened to me that's why I know. Lol

Hello,
Well, hopefully someone can help me out with an issue. While I've rooted and flashed phones before this, I probably know just enough to be dangerous. So, I was planning on moving back to my EVO 4g and thought I'd like to put ICS or JB on the phone to use as my normal device. So Sunday, I started playing with different ROMs in the forums. After flashing several ROMS I had an issue start. The phone would go through the White 'HTC EVO 4g' boot screen, stay there a moment and then reboot. I tried to reflash that ROM and had no luck. The only way to get out of this loop is to pull the battery. After searching on the website all week, I've tried several ideas, however nothing works. The last thing I did was to basically go through the process of rooting the phone again. After I did the fastboot command, I put the su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip file onto the SD card and used the recovery tool to install the ROM. After I did this, I restarted the device and no joy. However now the phone will only boot up to HBoot screen. I can get to recovery, however I can not put any ROMs on the phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Rob
Are you sure you got a custom recovery or a ROM installed? You've only mentioned su binary zip which, I believe, isn't either of the previous.

Actually, No. So I went back and looked at the directions I was following and realized that the 'su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip' file was not a ROM or recovery file. When it was flashed onto the phone the stock rom was still on the phone. So ... I sent the 'TeamDIRTremicsUXv1.3' ROM over to the SD card and flashed it ..... IT WORKED .... thanks for the help!!!!!
Rob
Good to hear!
Enjoy the Team D.I.R.T goodness!!
Happy flashing!
