My Evo stays in the white htc evo 4g screen and wont go to boot. How can I go to the recovery? I have taken out the battery and turned it back on while holding the power button and up volume key and it vibrates three times and wont go to the recovery. How can I fix this?
Hold the volume DOWN button, then press the power and keep holding volume down
Your going to have to flash a/the Rom your using over.
Assuming your rooted, pull the battery. Next, put it back in, and hold vol down along with power until you boot into bootloader mode (screen with skateboarding androids.) From there, select recovery (navigate with vol keys.) After, select flash zip from SD card. If your using RA Recovery, make sure the Rom is on the root of your SD card, if your using clockwork, you may find it in any folder that you placed it. Once imaging is complete, select reboot now.
If your not sure which Rom to select, I recommend JoeyKrim's 5.1 Rom. Stock, without lousyness. And if your not familiar with downloading roms, one note, do not extract them from the ".zip" format. Flash them as is.
Sorry for overloading you with this if you already know it. I'm just assuming you don't since you didn't try it yet.
Best of luck,

Thanks!! I have done that and it worked.. I flashed the same ROM again .
Mine Wont Power ON
I Flashed to new Fresh rom 3.5 had issues so i rolled back to 3.4... i wiped everything like I normally do. I got the white evo screen. pulled battery now i dont get anything. I have fully charged battery by external battery charger. if i plug it into usb i get no lights what so ever. Did it brick on me?
So while trying to unroot my Droid Incredible, I managed to brick it. Basically, I used what was on theunlockr.com and it didn't work out. I did this process:
How To: Unroot the HTC Incredible | TheUnlockr
Basically, I downloaded the PB31IMG.zip file and placed it on the root of the SD. I then rebooted into HBOOT, ran the update, and rebooted. Now the phone won't turn on. I try going into HBOOT (volume down+power) and just regular boot and neither are working. After pulling the battery and replacing it, I press and hold the power key to have it do a quick vibrate one time, but still nothing happens with the screen.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you cant get into hboot, and you cant boot normaly, im sorry to say you have bricked your phone.
You could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825960.
Also try reformating your sdcard fat32, then put a stock PB31IMG.zip on the sd. Hold down power and vol down for 10 secs then release and wait for 10 mins then press vol up. After a couple secs the phone may then reboot, wait another 15 mins and press vol up again. Hopefully then it will restart and boot like normal. It basicly blind flashing an ruu, it may work if the phone is on and responding but you just cant see screen output.

which screen type do you have amoled or slcd? sounds like you might have flashed the wrong one.
anyways. try the ruu.exe method instead

no need to see the screen if you let the pc do the work for you.
Thanks! I completely forgot about this posting. I'll have to give these methods a try.

This morning I tried to flash Blackout ICS Incredible. I am currently stuck on stuck green logo with white backgroud forever. I am using CWM touch recovery. I can not get to cwm, bootloader or Hboot menu. Only way i can reboot is to take out the battery. Once I put the battery in and let it boot, it goes back to logo screen and gets stuck. Then I took out the battery again and put it back it and press power button while pressing down vol- button, and it goes back to same logo screen and stuck. Again if i take out the battery and put it back it, and if I press the power button while pressing down the vol+ button, the phone vibrates 3 times and goes blank(dark) with battery indicator light blinking(i am not sure if that is battery light).
Any help would be appreciate. I am trying to connect to adb or fastboot, but it does not connect to the phone yet.
Pull the battery, wait five minutes.
Press and hold the volume down button, then press the power button. Don't let go. Wait.... wait, should go into recovery.
Full wipe.
Format data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions except sd card.
Restore a back up.
Then read how to get that rom working. Been posted too many times as for me to repeat it. Check the thread somewhere below yours, the title of the thread I believe is the same as the rom, answer is there.

Just saw the HBoot screen but lost it. What I did was, took out the battery, sdcard, SIM. Replace the battery but not the cover of the battery. Then I hit power and volume(plus/minus) button, the HBoot menu came up, but because the batter cover was not placed, the menu was lost when I did not hold the phone tight, meaning batter got loose. Now I am trying to get back to HBoot menu again after replace battery and cover but to no avail. I still have sdcard, SIM out of the phone. I think there is some combination of keys you've to press coming out from cold boot vs. not. will keep on trying unless someone already knows.

That is common flashing that rom. Choose full wipe in aroma installer even if you did it manually. When the flash is done, don't choose to reboot with aroma installer...DO IT MANUALLY from recovery!!...that should solve it...:good:
The same happened to me and found that solution in their thread.

I was able to get to HBoot, choose recovery, came up with CWM touch, did the wipe data/app, delvic, cache, did format /data, /* all the mentioned other than /sdcard. Then went to install from sdcard and choose that Blackout rom. went through the installer but at the end chose not to reboot from the installer as suggested. Then came back to CWM touch menu and did the reboot from there. It stuck on that logo screen again for 5 minutes. Now again took out the battery for few minutes, and want to go back to HBoot, but could not. Do I have to take out SDCARD as well, Do not think so but not sure. And why do we have to take out battery for so long, any idea, taking battery out for a minute isn't enough?
5 minutes just in case.
You missed one step. Wipe from aroma as well.

Should work without battery pull as long as you power off. But when it doesn't, battery pull.
Just volume down, the power, both pressed till it turns on.
Oh, and fastboot unchecked
Edit: if it stll doesnt work, could be a bad download.

If that doesn't work this straight booted bricked phone when nothing else would. Took 2 months of searching but I got it working within 5 minutes. It's from a thunderbolt forum but I think the commands are the same except for the img name.http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/480350-easier-way-flash-pg05img-files.htmli was stuck with hboot s-on, no recovery whatsoever, security warning, no sd card, NOTHING.

After monkeying around with this ROM for a day, it was actually problem with CWM recovery. It looks like this ROM is not compatible with this recovery. I replaced cwm with 4ext recovery and voila I was able to flash this new ROM. Thank you guys so much for helping out. This community is really great to be part of.

I had the same problem after unlocking the bootloader on HTCdev. After a lot of searching, it seems that the HTC process keeps the boot partition locked from recovery but not from fastboot.
I was able to get around this by unzipping the Rom and flashing boot.IMG using fastboot and then flashing the Rom again.

I haven't done this for a while but used to do this 100s of times.
I have a stock HTC rom installed without root. It is an experimental version of 2.3 that was never released.
I'm holding down the volume down button and pressing power. When I release the power button it boots normally into standard home screen.
I tried with the back button and the same thing happens.
Has anyone ran across the same problem?
Is there anyway I can boot into HBOOT without the volume down button and no root? Any apps which might help me to do that?
Thanks
afaik you press and HOLD those two buttons until the phone goes on.
Your volume down might have become faulty.
To go to fast boot mode press and hold "back key" while power up. From there press power key once more to go into hboot mode.
Regards

I think the volume down button works because when the phone is on i can control the call volume using this button. I also tried the back key to boot into fast boot but that doesn't work.
I hold the two buttons indefinitely. It's only when I release the power buttons that the phone starts booting but always boots into normal mode.
Any other ideas? thanks.
Lol try hold volume up + power

Awww damn!
I guess the only other thing I could try is to flash a different RUU.
Does anyone have a link to the stock Froyo RUU? Would flashing it over a stock GB rom work or wuold it complain that the HBOOT version is different?

Press n "hold" back, press (wait 2 second) and "release" power. Simple. You can't do it wrong. Try again please.

I am really not an idiot.
1) Press and hold power and 'back' at the same time
2) Waiting waiting waiting.... 5 - 10 seconds, nothing happens, black scren
3) Release power while still holding 'back'
4) Same thing happens with volume down and volume up

I want to install an ICS Rom. So I need to root.
To root I need to install the custom HBOOT drivers otherwise unrevoked doesn't pick up the device.
In order to install the custom HBOOT drivers I need to be in HBOOT with USB connected. Is there any other way?
K, does ur volume buttons work when phone is booted? If so, turn off the phone then pull the battery out for 10- 15 seconds then put back in, then press and hold volume down and press power button (while holding vol down) it should boot bootloader
Also make sure in
settings/power
That fast boot is not checked (if u got that option)

Wicked! Thanks!
Removing the battery made the difference. It seems that I have to remove the battery every time after power down or when I powers up it skips HBOOT. Nonetheless it works!

Hello guys, So I rooted my one v like 4months ago and got tired of the custom rom. As I was "exploring" the recovery I accidentally wiped my system Now I'm stuck on the boot screen and I can't get to recovery or even turn the phone off. Also my sd card broke and it doesn't work anymore. I have no idea how to fix it or if it is even possible to fix it. Could you guys help me? Im pretty new to this.

If you power off the phone and then reboot using power and volume down to reach the hboot. After that use the volume buttons and power to select recovery. From recovery Restore your nandroid back up, assuming you have one. If not reflash your Rom with another custom Rom.
