Having issues with Roms

Hey folk,
My buddy & I both have EVO 4G's, I rooted mine yesterday, downloaded rom manager did a backup and than downloaded a rom and everything went smooth no problems.
Now today I rooted by friends phone the same way I did mine, when It came to doing a backup or downloading a rom, every time it goes to reboot after the rom is downloaded or you do a backup, it will reboot and than all you see is the white screen and it showing the evo 4G logo.
I don't know what I did wrong? the root went successful and everything else is fine.
Any help folks thanks.

How long is it staying on the splash screen? Sometimes it can take a few minutes.

Is it stuck on the splash screen or can you get it up & running?

It was stuck on the splash screen for about 15 min or so than the battery died.

It stays stuck on the flash screen it won't move, last it was running for 15 min on the splash screen and than the battery died, so I plugged it in to the charger and powered it up and it was still the stock rom but still was rooted.

First thing: don't try to flash anything with a battery lower than 35%. It might be okay at levels lower than 35%, but it's better to be safe. You don't want to be flashing something after a wipe & the phone shut off.
Second: for some reason after rooting my phone, it takes a lot longer to reboot than it used to. This isn't something that always happens but it does some times. The first couple times it would even get stuck on the splash screen & I'd eventually pull the battery. I found that after I switched to amon ra recovery it stopped happening. You could try switching recoveries, but if you do rom manager won't function anymore & you'll have to do everything manually. It's not difficult.
Try again, this time with a full battery, and see what happens. Make sure cwm says that the flash was successful. If it takes a really long time to reboot, pull the battery & power it on normally. Sometimes it takes a while after wiping/flashing because it has to rebuild cache and/or load the rom for the first time, but it shouldn't take 15 minutes.

Every said was correct. But I'd like to add, that its possible that it didn't wipe fully. The screen should never hang on the splash for 15 minutes...five is normal, and sometimes happens after flashing. But like plainjane said, try another wipe. Also, flashing under 35%, it'll flash, but if your phone dies midway, expect to have a fancy paper weight.

Thanks Guys I will give it another try, but I would also like to men-son nothing gets flashed, the phone reboots - black screen than white screen and thats all.
When I did the same thing to my EVO the white screen stayed for about 40 secs and than started flashing.
I will try to remove rom manager and reinstall it.

So I am still having trouble with my friends EVO, it stays on the splash screen and won't change it lasted for an hour and than I pulled the battery.
Nothing happen to phone.
When I try to unrevoke it, it asks me if my version is new and reboots.
Even when I try to go to clockwork it gets stuck on the splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?

does anyone not have an answer for this?

I'm not sure this will help you, but if it were me, I would download unrevoked's s-on zip and flash that. Then get the PC36IMG.zip for the Stock unrooted 3.70 OTA and install that so you will be completely back to stock and unrooted.
Then try to root again. Also, try Amon Ra since clockwork was giving you trouble.

Tried to do the recovery and same issue I can not get into clockworks so I am basically stuck, If I goto recovery it will just get stuck at the white splash screen.
I am really lost at what to do now

Can you boot into your ROM at all?

^^^^^
No not at all.
If I power down than press volume down and power it will take me to the screen where I can goto to recovery but when I select it and try to go to recovery it will reboot and show the white splash screen that says EVO 4G and thats it, it will just stay there.
If I try to download a ROM or do a Backup and when it reboots to the same white splash screen it will just stay stuck there.
It looks to me the phone is partially rooted cause wireless tether, superusers, rom manager works but when I tried to download titanium so I can do the unroot and wipe the data clean titanium won't work.
At this point I have read a-lot of other posts and tried many other things but they all require me to go into clockworks which I can't. I even tried another method I seen on Youtube but I can't find unrevoked on my EVO anywhere.

I mean can you boot your phone up normally, and from the looks of it you can. You just need to reflash your recovery. Boot your phone up, go into ROM Manager and hit flash clockwork. After doing that, choose the flash alternate recovery option to flash Amon Ra and then do all your ROM flashing through recovery and not through ROM manager from here on out.

[Q] Help! Unlocked bootloader, installed CWM, now phone won't boot

I used the GN Toolkit V2.2 to unlock the bootloader, after installing the adb drivers via PDANet. I flashed Clockwork Mod on as well, and was going to install the Android Revolution ROM. I thought I had already copied the zip file to the internal storage, but when I tried to flash it from inside CWM, it said no files were found. (May have copied it before wiping device, I can't remember). So I restarted so I could copy the zip file again and then flash it. However when starting, it seemed to be stuck on the startup screen, with all the flashing blocks of color fading in and out. After a while stuck on there I couldn't do anything so I did a battery pull to restart. At this point, I can start normally or into recovery mode. If I try to start normally, (or go into recovery mode and choose restart from the submenu), it shows the black screen with the white Google logo, and the unlocked icon, stalls for a few seconds, then does a short vibrate and reloads the logo again. It will keep doing this and not go any further. I tried doing an additional data wipe from recovery mode but that didn't help, and I tried to do USB mount from recovery mode, hoping to copy the Revolution zip file and flash it over, but it couldn't mount. I'm starting to panic a little bit, did I brick or otherwise mess my phone up? What can I do? Any help is REALLY appreciated.
Thanks so much and I hope this is the right forum.

I dont have the answer but I wanted to post to calm you. This happens a lot.....multiple times to me on my android devices. You live and learn next time, do a backup in cwm before wiping data and flashing new stuff
Im sure someone will post shortly to solve your problem

Well ok that is reassuring thanks. I downloaded the Google factory ROM from the code.google.com and was able to flash that on my phone with GN Toolkit. It is trying to boot right now, still on the colorful screen. I think maybe I didn't give it enough time last time around? At least I'm past the black and white logo screen. So I'll let it sit for a few minutes and see what happens.
Edit: I let it run for a couple minutes, and it blacked the screen for a sec, showed the white Google logo again, and then went into the colorful startup screen again. I think it's working now so that's a relief.
If someone finds this thread in the future with a similar issue: Don't battery pull during start up and be patient if you don't want to freak yourself out haha. But as spitefulcheerio said, it will be okay so just don't panic. Thanks again.

Make sure you do a Factory Reset in STOCK recovery after unlocking the bootloader. THEN install CWM. learned that one the hard way. skipped a step after doing the oem unlock.

Yes, first time will take awhile on the boot animation.
And, as long as you see the google logo, you are ok, even if it freezes on that. They designed this phone to be easy

Guess all I needed was a psychological confidence boost, thanks for everyone for being supportive I thought I just threw a few hundred bucks away. But I got Revolution installed, phone and rooted and runs like a dream. Thanks all around!

To provide some technical details on why it takes longer the first boot and appears to "hang" at boot animation ...
During the boot animation, the /data/dalvik-cache directory is built up for each application loaded on the device. This occurs during the very first boot. If the /data partition is wiped, the dalvik-cache directory is also wiped and will have to be rebuilt on the first boot. All subsequent boots will be quicker as this directory has already been populated.
Whenever loading a new ROM or performing the fastboot oem unlock command, the /data partition is generally wiped which takes with it dalvik-cache and results in the delayed initial boot time while the dalvik-cache directory is re-populated.
Hope that makes sense and fills in a few blanks on the why Android appears to "hang" at the boot animation during first boot after the /data partition is erased or the /data/dalvik-cache directory is erased.

[Q] Stuck in infinite recovery loop

I screwed up.
I wanted to install a new custom mod after purchasing a new SM-P605. I rooted my device, and searched for a while on how to install a custom recovery (TWRP). I downloaded ODIN and flashed it a couple of times but it didn't work, I kept getting a "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and the screen freezes.
Then I tried Rashr's flash tool to install TWRP for me, and afterwards selected "boot into recovery".
Now i'm stuck in the same screen, but whenever I tried to restart, i get back to it, and can't get back in the system.
What can I do?

I'm unfortunately stuck in a very similar situation.
I was updating the firmware on my tablet to 4.4.2 downloaded off Sammy mobile, uploading using Odin. I've done this dozens of times since my S2 which was 12 handsets and 6 Android tablets ago. This time, about a third of the way through the process hung for a few minutes then the device restarted without warning and now its stuck in a loop where it starts normally
http://imgur.com/MTwiE5V [1]
Then says
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery.
Then this
http://imgur.com/Ua1nmhi [2]
and stays on that screen for short periods before rebooting and starting the above again.
Thanks in advance for any tips or help you guys can provide!

Thanks, but it turns out the solution to my problem was simple. I took it to the place I got it from and the guy just pressed power, vol and menu button long enough until it rebooted. I'm quite a noob it seems.
I'm not sure if it will help you Nationalmaverick, because my problem was slightly different.

I foolishly got myself into a pickle, tabpro 8.4 stuck in bootloop into recovery

So I decided it would be a good idea to wipe everything including data and internal data etc using my twrp recovery on my tablet 6am in the morning so then I could do a fresh rom instal over adb. I fell asleep in the middle of wiping, woke up at 3pm (15 minutes ago) to find that the battery is dead. Plugged in the charger, tried to boot it up. No matter what I try I cannot get it to boot into anything else other then recovery, which is broken because it just flashes me the twrp logo, goes black then flashes twrp boot logo over and over, I can't even shut it down properly now. I've tried holding differrent button combinations etc and nothing works, i just get the bios logo (samsung logo) then back to the twrp logo loop whenever I try something.
What can I do fix this? I did have the android sdk btw, just realized I switched hard drives and have to download it again, I'm getting it right now.

I would first let the battery fully charge if you haven't already.
Then download a recovery flushable rom, i would pick one of the cm based because it's the smallest and this is to get you back. Load it onto your external sd card and flash as normal.

It's been on charge for 3 hours still trapped in this boot loop, it can do literally nothing else, not turn off or anything lol.
How do I flash any rom? I can't get into recovery, it's just boot looping over and over and not letting me do anything.
The screen is black for 5-8 seconds, then it will flash the twrp logo for a split second and go back to being black and repeat.
Holding the power button (with or without ANY combination of holding down volume buttons) all do the same thing, just reboots it into recovery which starts the above boot loop again.

My tablet is completely unusable now , lol this sucks, I guess I'll keep trying random things lol. I might switch back to philz if i get this fixed lol, ive always had trouble wiping cache with twrp.

Anyone know a way to force it out of a boot loop or a way to reset or flash the recovery or rom while its in the current state it is in?
Lol would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

So I went to go try what try mgp53's suggestion. Saw that the tablet had died. Booted it up, and i got stuck the samsung logo accept oddly enough there was nothing in the top corner. adb devices showed me nothing was attached to my computer so I just got mad and powered it back on and off while holding down different combinations of volume buttons, and I got into ODIN MODE! Says download, do not turn off target. Awesome! What do I do from here? I don't know what the state of my tablet is because I tried to wipe everything, including what shouldn't be wiped. So I guess I would have to restore everything including recovery.

What should I do from here? I'm at a loss because I don't want to mess it up more.
EDIT
UPDATE 1
I started by using ODIN 3.09 to flash the latest tar of twrp. Boot is still messed up on all accounts accept for when I hold volume up now, so now I can get into recovery again, awesome! Went through the directories through twrp, all the folders are literally empty lol, including where the super user binaries should be which troubles me a bit. Going to go ahead and flash a rom by sideload and see how it works out.
UPDATE 2
Attempting to sideload now. Getting mount errors for E:, unable to fun partition for path /sdcard, so something wrong with my internal storage. How am I to fix this? lol

You can try samobile, but they make you register. Also I don't know if they don't also use rapidgator.
Or maybe you can try this. Grab the cf autoroot tar. Flash that in odin. Then flash the twrp tar and your recovery should have root access letting you flash custom roms again. Just dl a small one like cm.

Ok cool! :good:

Thanks for all the help, got it fixed and runnings after using Odin for firmware, then to reroot, then Odin to flash philz recovery. Then flashed CM, running brand spanking new.

Oh oh, got the same problem here.
I used the guide from rootjunky on Youtube to install TWRP 2.8.0.1 with flashify but after flashing the tablet wont get into recoveryscreen from TWRP.
So i desided to get back to stock recovery and stock boot image (a made backups before) with the intention to flash TWRP 2.7.0.2 like in the video.
But after flashing the stock recovery the tablet hungs in a loop but i can get into recovery.
can someone explaine me haw to get my stoch recovery back? Or boot image? I don't know exactly wat the problem is, boot or recovery. I'm not to good at this.
And srry for my english, i'm from holland

stuck on boot logo

was trying to odin back to stock and now i'm stuck on boot logo
i'm running t800, canadian. I've tried 2 different ones and neither are loading
T800XWU1BOL1_T800ILO1BOL1_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOL1_T800XAC1BOK1_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOCC_T800XAC1BOC4_HOME.tar.md5
T800XXU1BOE2_T800XAC1BOC4_HOME.tar.md5
Can anyone point me to one that may work? I've spent so much time trying to find these downloads and waiting hours for them to complete off of sammobile that my eyes are bleeding.
I'm able to reboot to download mode and odin sees the option to try flash something. Both the files above progress successfully, however I'm met with a samsung logo that doesn't progess any further. Let the tablet sit for up to 20 minutes and nothing.
help?

Boot to recovery and wipe the data partition.
Reboot will take around 10mins afterwards.

I tried to get to recovery. No matter what button configuration I do when trying to boot the tablet, I only get to a samsung boot logo that sits, or download mode.
edit: I let the tablet sit until the battery died from the boot logo loop. Charged her up again and tried to boot into recovery. Was able to this time. Wiped data like you said, works!!! Thank you!
