EVO hung up on reboot loop!

ok, guys... something is totally effed up with my evo. i was trying to reroot after doing a factory reset, but now all it does is reboot from the "htc evo 4g" screen constantly. it won't even bring up sprint's 4g boot screen...
please help!

nothing?? =/

trying to do a factory reset through the android os? I dont think that takes away root. But in any case, can you still manage to get into recovery? If so you could do a nandroid restore, or flash a new rom

it's weird. i tried that. it's still loops. i tried to do a nandroid restore as well, no success. i flashed dc 3.2.3 (what i was on previously) with no success.
it just loops with the htc evo 4g logo screen and then powers off and then repeats. i even tried a different microsd card, but again, no success.

Have you tried wiping cache, or even full data/cache/dalvik and then flashing a rom?

i'm on my 5th attempt right now...
aaaand... nope, no success.

So all you did is do a factory reset from the settings and it started boot looping? Is your recovery method up to date (if clockwork)

yea, i wanted to reroot it and apply a new rom. i use amon ra recovery. it was up-to-date, from what i understand.

Well crap! The only thing I can recommend is to use the starting over guide, possibly trying to use a ruu to return it to stock and the try rerooting and flashing a new Rom
Just so I can sleep comfortably tonight, you were just rerooting for fun? Because you know you don't have to reroot to flash a new Rom correct?

trying to use a ruu would work, if i could only boot up, which i can't =/
and yea, i wanted to get a better feel for rooting. i know i don't have to reroot, i just wanted to wipe everything and start fresh, you know, wipe the slate clean. i'm trying the recovery-windows.bat batch file now. worst scenario, i'll go to sprint tomorrow and try to get a replacement.
still, thanks for the help man!

Hmm, do you think there is a possibility you could have used the wrong image when you were trying to reroot? Or if you didn't get that far, starting at toast part 2 might get you out of the loop.
I'm sure you'll get it though!

it's entirely possible i may have used the wrong image. i'm trying to see what this batch file will do, though it's been hung for quite some time. i tried doing toast's part 2, i got the error that the sdcard folder doesn't exist... when it was already mounted lol.. something funky is going on.
thanks i hope so...

having the same problem tried to go back to stock so i could exchange the phone. now i am stuck with the reboot loop also. if anyone figures out what to do would really love the help.

i let the recover-windows.bat batch file run overnight and it seems to be stuck at this spot:
C:\Android SDK\android-sdk-windows\tools\evo-recovery>adb-windows.exe shell nohu
p /sbin/recovery
nohup: appending output to nohup.out
i ran it while i was in recovery, and the recovery menu is weird, switching between the main menu and sub menus if i use the volume rocker to move up and down the selections... i think i'm going to go to the sprint store, act stupid, and try to get a replacement.

i bought mine at bestbuy so sprint wont look at it. until my 30 days is up with bestbuy. and cant get a replacement at bestbuy since they are out of stock. hopefully someone can fix this problem. because right now iam sol.

I have absolutely no idea what would cause this, I will try searching around to see if a similar problem was resolved. I just can't believe that it won't let you do anything from recovery. Have you guys tried a different Rom, maybe stock Rom before root? Clueless, I am hoping someone will chime in with something else to try.
Can you still remount the system as rw? Using the command: adb remount rw?
If so maybe try flashing the recovery, wiping, and then flash a stock rom?

it's really weird. i can't get past initial boot. i went to the sprint store and they're out of stock, so i have to wait a few days
in the meantime, i'm going to try and continue to force my will onto my evo lol. this is heartbreaking...
do you know where i can find a stock rom unroot? like a zip file? maybe that'll work? i doubt it, but worth a shot.

Yea let me get the link. Will edit...
Here is a cache of the wiki, it has links for Stock rooted roms which I would give one of those a shot. I can only find the unrooted in an exe form. I am not sure but in the boot screen you could try fast boot usb and see if the exe would run that way but I am entirely unsure about that
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...iki&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Also, did you see if your nand was still unlocked? And did you try reflashing recovery? Not sure, just throwing ideas out there!

edit. no success still... i'm trying all versions of exe files.

Since you can boot into recovery, amon ra will let you mount your sdcard as a drive into windows where you can download the stock 1.47 RUU and copy it into the root of your sdcard. Once you do that, unmount via the recovery menu and wipe data/dalvik and then flash the ruu to try and get it to boot. You shouldn't need to boot fully to flash the ruu. Find the starting over post by whitslack to get the ruu.

Problems flashing, need help please!!!

Ok, so here is what I have done: I have already rooted my phone, etc, and have flashed some different roms on my phone, and have not had any problems until now. I recently tried the miui rom, but didn't like it.I just flashed the newest miui rom, and it was acting really weird, so I decided to go back to the virtuous rom which I had used before. For whatever reason, I am getting this error: E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (file exists), and the installation aborts. I did the wipe data deal, and I also tried to reinstall the miui rom. It says that installs fine, but it won't get past the htc incredible screen. Any suggestions? Also, I didn't want to try this and mess things up further, but can I restore a backup I had done when I had the virtuous rom installed, or do I have to have the rom already working properly? Kind of a noob question, I know.

Hmmm... Do you have any Nandroids from earlier roms? That'd be the easiest route.
If not, since you can't even get to a homescreen, you might try an RUU reset, but let's hope it won't come to that for now.
I get that too, but only when going into the menu for Dalvik Cache wiping, and it never actually gets in my way, it just pops up and then I can keep going on about my business.

1. yes you can restore the backup whether a rom is currently working or not
2. post questions in the correct forum

If you can't get a nandroid backup to work, you may have to RUU back to stock.
Here's the older one that will still let you use unrevoked after. Just rename this PB31IMG.zip, load up H-boot, follow the prompts, and be patient. Then run unrevoked when it finishes and install rom manager to restore your backup. If the backup still won't work, try a fresh install of virtuous.

Sorry

Probably in the Q & A General Forum, but don't worry about it this time, just as long as it doesn't end up being a frequent thing.
But I don't know about being able to move the thread, I think that's a Moderator power.
Regarding your issue though, either use the RUU link posted above, or try Nandroid-ing back.

No go
I tried restoring a backup, and got cannot mount /data, along with the previous error... It changed my boot animation, but has not restored my phone. should I do this RUU back to stock? Sorry for not being very good at this, and I definitely appreciate the help.

It's cool.
Yes, you'll need it on the root of your SD-card (not in any folders), run it through hboot, and then you'll have to re-run the unrEVOked tool from your PC. I would also suggest running the S-Off tool afterwards, just to be safe. That has saved me once before.
Make sure you have at least 50% battery before you do the hboot flash. VERY IMPORTANT. If your phone dies or loses power while updating the radio files from the RUU, your phone is as good as bricked.
If you get stuck with the unrEVOked tool at waiting for root for more than fifteen minutes, post back here again and we'll continue from there.
EDIT: Actually, run the unrEVOked Forever S-Off tool through CWM recovery before doing this, as a pure precautionary measure.

I'm an idiot apparently
Well, I am really sorry guys, I won't ask any more questions on here. Apparently I am super stupid. I figured it out, I left out some info because it didn't even register as relevant, but it was the key apparently. So I just go a new sd card, and I formated it on my computer, and just dropped the zip files on there, and was trying to flash like that, and apparently the phone didn't like the new sd card, or it needed info off the old one, because once I put it back in and tried flashing from it, it works fine now. Sorry for bothering everyone, I am going to go sit in the corner in shame now.

Glad you figured it out. Be sure to make a backup of your current rom on your new SD card right away haha.

[Q] Nandroid Backup -- Lots and Lots of Dots

Am trying to do a nandroid backup using Amon-Ra 2.3, and it just keeps laying down line after line of dots, taking much longer than I would expect, and never finishes. I've tried the suggestions in this thread on the issue, and I'm still having no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions/wisdom to offer? I've let it go for 20-30 minutes on a couple of occasions, and it's still not working -- I just end up with a screen full of dots.
Part of the reason I'm doing this is that I've been having issues with my wireless, data, etc toggling on and off on its own lately, so I thought a fresh start with a new ROM might be worth a go. Doubt that's related, but who knows, so I'm throwing that out there in case it matters.
Thanks!
PS Currently running VirusROM Airborne RC 6, to the extent it makes a difference.

What rom are you trying to restore?
If you wanted to start fresh, than you can install your new rom fresh, then restore all your apps+data, just not system settings.

I wasn't trying to restore anything, I was just trying to do a nandroid backup so I could flash another ROM. With that said, I've tried to restore an older backup to make sure I had one that worked, and that isn't working, either -- just an endless stream of dots. If I pull the battery in the midst of a restore, will I screw anything up?

No it shouldn't.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip Place that on your sdcard, and flash it in the bootloader, that'll re-flash amon_ra 2.3; hopefully that should fix it.

thanks man, I'll give it a try.

Aye aye, and I shall be around if it doesn't work.

well, I'm stuck in the back end of the boot animation now. Hmmm, very frustrating. How horrible would it be to just do a factory reset of the phone? Would I have to re-root?

If you do a factory reset, that just erases all data. You should always wipe the factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery before flashing a rom for the first time. You don't have to re-root, just restore your apps from titanium backup.

OK, so here's where I'm at:
1. I can't perform a nandroid backup
2. I can't restore any of my previous backups
3. I can't boot the phone to allow me to flash the new Amon-Ra you provided.
With all of that being the case, I feel like I'm sort of out of options at this point -- maybe just wipe it and flash the new ROM, hope for the best, and perform a nandroid after the flash? Can't really get any more screwed than I am now, right?

What do you mean you can't get to the bootloader?
Power the phone off/battery pull, upon turning on, hold vol+down till you see the white android screen, then it'll scan for the PC36IMG, which you apply update, then reboot. And it can still be saved.

I guess the question was how do I get the file onto my phone when I can't get the phone to boot up, but it occurs to me that I can pull the card out and load it on there that way, so let me give that a go and follow those steps. Now, I've just got to find that little card adapter thingy...
Thanks again, appreciate the assistance

Ah yes...the adapter...tis why I just always leave it in my laptop. But that will work, and you're welcome.

that did the trick, back up and running. Whew!
Much appreciated!

Glad that it worked.

[Q] [q] soft brick -- a little help plz?

So I was got my s3 awhile back and rooted it and ran Clean bean without any problems, well after those annoying system update messages started to get to me I decided I wanted to try and new rom and update my phone a bit as I would be leaving the country and wanted my phone updated. So I decided to flash slimbeam , It went off without a hitch. Only problem was I could not figure out how to get Titanium backup to restore all my contacts and app data. I saved all the backup files on my computer and even after putting them in the Titanium backup directory it would not let me do it. Anyway.....I decided to try and use the titanium backup program that lets you extract the data from a nandroid backup and flash it in recovery. I forgot to put it on my internal card when doing so and when I did my wipe I deleted it (epic facepalm) so I have to reflash cleanbean go back into my phone and make the .zip file to flash...
So I got tired and went to bed before flashing anything else, when I wake up. My phone is stuck on the samsung boot image screen. I try starting only to get the same thing. So I boot to CWS recovery and try to restore one of my nandroid backups. I accidentally hit backup to external sd and it started to run a backup, thenn my car charger came unplugged and the phone died....thinking it would just make that specific nandroid corrupt I thought nothing of it. So I reboot to CWS recovery again and actually try to do a restore with my oldest nandroid, But I get the error "Error updating /system" and error updating "/data".....I tried multiple backups that I have, none of them work and all produce that message.. 'm fairly new to this, What Am I doing wrong? I really love this site and all you guys do and I will be forever greatful of any help you guys can give me. I leave the country for Mexico in 2 days and I cant afford to pay the $150 to get my phone warrantied from sprint!
Thanks in advance, and sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes (at work, not suppose to be on here)

Ok Lucid, stay calm.
First off, never do any work in Recovery without a fully charged phone. You're just asking for trouble if you're relying on the cable being plugged in.
I've never had good luck with trying to restore data in TiBu from a nandroid backup.
I'm not going to go into how to make your backups work. I'm honestly more concerned with just getting your phone back into working order. This thread has the most current Stock Rom in TAR form. Odin instructions can be found in this post within that thread.
After you're back to 100% stock, unrooted, you can follow the rooting guide to gain root back.

THANKS

Do what he said, I can vouch that restoring data through tibu from a nandroid has never worked for me either. If you backed up your contacts with Google you can just export them into a file (either .csv or .xml i forget) and then import that into your contacts

Here is a link to a post where I talked about Tianium Backup and what not to restore. It should be fairly informative.

In TiBu for SMS and call logs hit menu from the main screen and backup data as XML, select save locally when it's done. Move the xml files to external SD if you're gonna flash a 4.2.2 rom, flash new rom move the xmls back to internal, go to tibu, same menu, restore from xml and select which one you want to restore. It'll open a quasi file explorer, locate the corresponding xml for the option you chose(call log, SMS, wifi, bookmarks) and select it. It will restore the data via XML and you'll have all your call logs, sms, bookmarks and wifi accesspoints back like you never left your previous rom.

[Q] How can I unroot my device?

So I decided to root my Sprint Galaxy S3 today using this guide: http://qbking77.com/how-to-root/root-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/. Everything went well and I flashed a custom ROM onto my phone (I did backup before hand). The ROM in question was this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356491.
After a few minutes I realized that the ROM wasn't allowing me to send out text messages. So I decided to revert back to my old backup because I didn't want to take the time to figure that problem out. So I preformed the wipe and start the backup. Then there is a problem, the backup file is corrupt and will not load. So I think to myself, "Okay. I'll just start over, it's not a big deal." The only problem is, the custom ROM rebooted when I restarted my phone.
My problem: No matter how many times I wipe my phone, the custom ROM keeps rebooting. I can't flash any other ROM over it. There's nothing I can do. And I can't unroot the thing either because the QbKing77 guide (http://qbking77.com/how-to-unroot/unroot-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/) has nothing but broken links in it. So I need some help getting this thing back to stock. Hell, just getting a new ROM onto it that works is fine by me.
