[Q] My phone is a paper weight. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks I have an evo 4g rooted with Revolutionary and I have been trying to fix mms with no luck so I did a sys restore and now once the HTC boot screen loads the next thing I see is a screen with Andriod in white that flashes. I have tried to boot into recovery and I get the same screen. I removed the battery and the same screen. Help please.

You can try to reflash your recovery or run the RUU for your phone

Kept screwing with it and was able to boot into recovery. Thanks.

[Q] Desire won't boot anything after unrooting. Only have access to hboot/fastboot

Hi all, I've arranged to have my phone replaced because the trackpad has stopped working so I wanted to unroot the phone before I sent it back. I was on hboot 0.75 and CM6 rom before I tried to unroot. I flashed the RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe file from this forum hoping it would take me back to standard 2.1. When I boot the phone I get the white HTC screen for a while before it reboots and shows again for a while...a boot loop I guess. I can get back into hboot/fastboot but going to recovery gives a boot loop like a normal boot. I've since flashed the official froyo update using a goldcard and that seems to be doing the same thing.
Any help anyone can give me would be great...I've hit my limit on trying to fix it and I'm starting to get a bit worried!
Thanks

[Q] Help: SD-ext.img not found

I tried to restore my backup and it says restore complete but it says sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext.img
I have an EVO and this was my first attempt to flash a custom ROM. Now when i try to boot the device it just continues to cycle on the HTC EVO 4G white screen. Can anyone help me get the phone back to some working form? Thanks so much
I ran into the same problem tonight. Don't know if I should do a factory reset (if that would even fix it)...or if there's a simple solution to this problem.

[Q] BRICKED DINC running cyanogen7! please help

So I was running Cyanogen 7.0 for a couple weeks now and have tried a few others. I downloaded it with clockworkmod and everything was fine until I updated it to the newest one and while it was updating my phone died. Now it is just stuck in blue boot screen with the arrow going around and around. I tried Hboot but every one I pick including recovery, clear storage, and factory reset just gets me stuck on Dinc white boot screen. Trackball isn't responsive here so I us power and when I try to boot with up volume or both up and down with power it just vibrates a couple times and doesn't do anything. (I have to pull battery after this to Hboot or boot with stuck C& screen.) Please help! I have been reading so many threads on here and Cyanogens forums and everyone else seems to fix it with recover from hboot or clockwork recover comes up for them. I am very stumped. I have had a rooted captivate, EVO, and tried moto atrix and back to captivate before deciding to try out Dinc (and verizon)
I had that problem a while ago. I recall using the the in revoked program all over again. Hope that helps

the only solution that I would think can work on this case if going back to stock.. since you said you can get in the HBOOT.. you could be able to go back to stock and then reroot you phone again... I was on similar situation once I flash the alternative recover in RM... and I couldnt get to the Recovery and I had to go back to stock by putting the PB31IMG in the HBOOT to get it working..

How do I go back to stock by putting the PB31IMG in the HBOOT?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download the file and place it on your sdcard once you get to the HBOOT its gonna ask you if you wanna update.. then just vol - for yes and you are good to go...
Similar Problem
I am facing a similar situation with my Incredible. I was running CM7.0.3 when my phone randomly restarted but only got to the white "HTC Incredible" screen before looping over again.. and again..
I have tried loading the stock image (used the files from dougpiston site) as well as others through the HBOOT but I still cannot get past the "HTC Incredible" boot screen.
Is there something that I am missing? Does anyone else have a suggestion? I know it isn't bricked since I can still get to the HBOOT but I just can't seem to get it to boot an image. I did notice it is still "S-Off" if that matters.
If you cannot get into recovery and flashing a recovery from hboot doesn't work, you may need a new phone. This was mentioned in another thread somewhere recently.
Make sure your sd card is formatted to fat32.

[Q] weird brick-like situation?

hi!
a friend of mine brought his wfs (gsm) to me that i've unlocked and flashed custom rom before. it froze during the day when the phone was idle and when he tried restarting it was stuck on the white htc splash screen. nothing has been tampered with so i tried the following:
*trying to boot into recovery(which it had cwm and running without problems before): still stuck on white htc splash screen after selecting recovery option.
*trying to re-flash recovery-boot-system (different kinds, custom, stock) from hboot, successfully flashes, doesn't boot
*at last resort, i relocked the bootloader, created a goldcard and flashed "RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe" which successfully flashed, updated hboot, radio and flashed stock everything.
it finally booted into stock after 15 mins of splash screen. but when it gets to the locksreen, it doesn't respond to the touchscreen or the hardware buttons, the screen sleeps after some time, but hardware button lights stay on, and there's nothing i can do except for removing the battery.
i can't use adb logcat at this point since the debugging isn't enabled on the fresh rom.
after removing the battery and trying to reboot, it's stuck on htc splash again, i have to boot into fastboot, do a factory reset, wait another 15 mins to boot into the fresh rom to get stuck again.
my educated guess is that the nand is worn out.
any suggestions or questions about diagnosing what we might have?
thanks in advance!
up
anyone?
Did you try to reflash recovery?

i've reflashed cwm, didn't work. flashed stock recovery, but booting to stock recovery also took like 2-3 mins, more than it should have. flashed cwm again, doesn't boot into it, stays at white htc splash.
Well most of the methods that i know involve recovery, so you are pretty much screwed...

HTC 10 boot loop

Tried so many things and read a lot of threads..
Battery just died and when I tried to start it up, just goes in boot loop.
Only place I can get into is the bootloader (white screen). Unlocked and S-on.
Have TWRP and rooted rom..
Won't go into download mode or recovery..
Anyone any ideas?
Possible to kinda make it 'stock' anyway to give it back into warranty?
Thank you..
