Phone does not boot past HTC Evo 4G screen?

I flashed the following: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003.zip

Pulled battery, wiped everything. Still stuck. Pulled battery, nandroid into backup, still stuck.
Any ideas?

Recovery work perfectly fine, let me try flashing some other rom.
Also, because this might be a bad radio flash, can reflashing radio hurt?

Could you give more information so I could be of help. Like what Rom, kernel, recovery anything specific...

I recommend you flash the previous version and then do a full wipe....next, flash a rom...then when that boots you can go back into recovery again and restore a nandroid if you would like....

Using Clockwork 2.5.1 (?, flashing right now) so I can't check.
Was on MYN RLS4. Flashed the bundled radio zip linked above, now in this situation. Currently, I'm flashing to RLS5 after a ADB push of the zip file. Edit: Was on BS#6 Kernel
If this doesn't work, I'll flash a deodexed stock 3.70.
Any more recommendations?
edit: Looks like I got past the HTC Evo 4G screen, just waiting for the MYN boot animation now.
edit2: I booted up, thanks for the help. At least I can rest knowing that my radio flash wasn't borked.

What happened after you flash the radio? Be specific..

Ive had the same problem today on two different evos, with two different recoveries! Both times I just booted into recovery and ran a full nandroid backup, then restarted and it stuck in white screen.
First was with amon_ra recovery. I pulled the battery after it stuck on white screen and it rebooted fine.
Second time was with clockwork. I just now pulled the battery and rebooted..... and it looks to be sticking again.
Both are running Fresh Rom. v3.5.01 I think.

Do you have the SDK installed and a usb cable? Hook up the evo, then do: "adb logcat", power on, and post the output. Note: it sounds like it is looping so watch carefully and when you see it looping hit "crtl+c" to stop logcat.

Do this! download this to you sd card http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY than boot into bottloader, let the phone search for the file update and this should get you up and running. The problem doing what you did is that that works when a different kernel not htc kernel.

good lookin out

What's the purpose of doing this? Just like a RUU, right?

yes! But this should give you all that you are looking for, is much easier.trust me!

You will not Loose Root.

You lucky son of a gun, my old evo wouldn't even not into recovery. Just bootloader. After stressing out for hours trying to fix it I finally got a replacement

The same thing happened to me and your link worked like a charm. I was just wondering if after I did this would I still be able to try and flash a different rom? or am I stuck with this one? I am just wondering....as you can see Im pretty new to the rooting game.

Basically, if you update your radios, you have to also update your rom to 3.70 build otherwise the phone won't get pass the bootanimation screen. Normally, you would update the rom then update the radios. Also, to nandroid or flash back to 3.30 build, you have to downgrade the radios back to the version used for 3.30. I was stuck on bootloop with new radios if I flashed any rom below 3.70, but downgrading the radios to previous version allowed for 3.30 nandroid restores.

Ok thank you a bunch for the info!! you were a life saver lol

Same Questions
Ok so I did what you said above and loaded that file onto sd card and went into bootloader if worked and i managed to get into recovery and flashed fresh and got the phone booted all way but I want Warm two point two so i flashed that version 4 and it wont go past the white HTC screen what can I do

Evo Stuck in Boot Loop, Bricked?

I'm rooted, unrevoked; I'm currently stuck in a boot loop. I can not reach recovery. I can not get to my rom. I can only access bootloader.
So far I have taken these steps to cure my problem:
Ran RUU software in Windows (with and without sd card in evo)
Flashed RUU as PC36IMG in bootloader
Cleared Storage using fastboot in command prompt
Cleared Recovery and then Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork using fastboot in command prompt
Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed Sprint Lover's as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed eng-PC36IMG from Toastctfh's Old Root Tutorial as PC36IMG in hboot
Each of these methods flashed successfully as far as I can tell... yet I still go into an infinite boot loop.
Before the bootloop this is what I was doing:
I had the initial CM7 nightly installed for about 2 weeks. It was buggy, and a few days ago restarted and deleted all my texts, and desynced from google. On rebooting, google apps acted as if I had never ran the phone before - it asked me to enter google account info, etc, upon reboot.
I decided CM7 was too unstable and so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed CM6. When CM6 booted google apps was already on, before I had even flashed it! Anyways I figured I wanted to give MIUI a run, so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed MIUI. It ran fine for about two hours, and then rebooted out of nowhere... and never came out of the boot loop.
I'm really starting to sweat this as I have gone three days now without a phone. Does anyone have any ideas that may help me? Thanks.

hmm, you could flash recovery through bootloader i think

Nope, I can't reach recovery

idk what to say hopefully a expert drops by im sorry that i cant help

Maybe bootloops from having an older radio. Gb roms need the latest radios. You can get a flashable zip in caulkins thread
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

I had same problem, the radios messed my phone and was stuck in a boot loop and mess with my usb drivers as well so I couldnt charge my phone...i had to buy spare battery charger and flash different radio and rom through hboot

I'm pretty sure Sprint Lover's and RUU have the latest radios in them

You shouldnt be bricked and if you flashed an RUU, you wont have root anymore, nor will you have a recovery img. I would suggest running the RUU again. As long as it finishes without errors, you should be fine. Now, just a quick question, what are you seeing that makes you think you are in a bootloop??

Are you sure RUU removes root? I've RUU'd through my computer, as well as flashing an RUU zip as PC36IMG, and I still have S-OFF. If it would turn it to S-ON, that would be amazing.

your ruu file could be bad as well .. it happened to me once and had to redownload...for some reason it wasnt as big as it should of been

[Q] Bricked INC!

I loaded a backup of CM7 and when it rebooted it went into a bootloop and I cant get into recovery. I've tried everything even flashing CWM again and also the stock ROM image. Still bootloop!
Please help

You didnt brick it, if you bricked it, it wouldnt start. You should still be able to get into recovery, by holding the power button and volume at the same time, and getting into Hboot, then go to recovery. Im also guessing it happened because you didnt whipe cache or data before you did this. First time i ever installed a new rom i got a bootloop,

Thank you for responding. I cant get into recovery it starts bootlooping once I select recovery. I tried loading the PB image of CWM and I also tried flashing the stock RUU. Cant get past HBOOT or initial bootloop. I CAN get into fastboot ADB though. Tried flashing a backup system.img, boot.img, data.img but boot.img said error

Your welcome, im not perfect at all this so excuse me a bit lol. So your saying when you select recovery, it boots up normally to the splash screen, or am i wrong? If your able to flash things them im pretty sure your able to get into recovery. Maybe also try another version of CM7? Transferring it to your phone.

No I select recovery in HBOOT and it goes straight to the white HTC INCREDIBLE screen and begins the bootloop process. I've pushed the CWM 3.0.0.8 in a pb13img file and still wont go into recovery. I cant get the phone past HBOOT

Thats really really weird that it wont go into recovery and it starts the boot. Hopefully someone can come with some extra assistance. It isnt bricked tho, i know that. So did you try formating data and cache then before doing anything either?

No I was busy and messed up. applied a backup without wiping data/cache. Came back to a powered off phone. Tried turning it on and it was bootlooping. I cant do anything now. Even if I can get S-ON i'll just get a replacement

There's a data wipe option in hboot, have you tried that?

Goto Doug piston's web site and follow the go back to stock. You should be able to put the stock RUU on the root of your sd card named pb31img (not sure the exact file name but it is on dougs site). When you load in HBOOT, it should recognize the file and install. If I am not mistaken, this will unroot your phone as well.
http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108
Pb31img file is there.

I tried the stock rom PB31IMG.zip and it continues to bootloop. If I cant get it fixed I want to at least get S-On

Probably aren't gonna be able to get S-ON cause that needs to be done in recovery..

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Yeah cant get to recovery so I'm boned.
I got VZW to send me a replacement and also got Asurion to get my an Inc2. Not sure which to send back. Free replacement with a gamble getting caught S-On, or $99 free upgrade to Inc2

what radio were you running
try flashing alternate recovery?
i also seem to remember there being a way to root through adb isnt there a way to unroot like that too?

I tried amon ra and a another one no difference. I also tried everything I could adb wise to flash different systems and erase everything. Im running the new GB radio

I may be wrong but I don't think you can apply the RUU with that radio installed. Go back to the stock radio and I think you may be able to flash ythe RUU successfully.

I got excited thinking there was a way to unbrick because of a step I missed. So I went to make sure the radio was right. I HAD the GB Leak 2.15.10.05.06
Right now in HBoot it shows 2.15.00.07.28

I know its not considered a brick because it still turns on but there is NOTHING I can do to get it out of bootloop or past HBoot

hmm new GB radio this has been happening with thunderbolt users to.....but in greater numbers.....I'd advise against using the GB leaked radio...

Your backup. Rec2.x. and now. 3.x?

Major Major Issues With 2.1 - 2.3 (Rooted/Unrooted)

Hey guys,
So here's what happened and is happening:
1. I was running a custom ROM (Baked Snack 1.7) on Froyo (2.2). The phone was working fine but I wanted to try Gingerbread 2.3.3 out because I heard it had great battery life.
2. My phone would not update to 2.3.3 from Baked Snack. I thought it might have something to do with it being rooted. I used this method to unroot...and I think I only got through the first part:
http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/09/10/how-to-unroot-the-evo-in-2-steps/
I installed the S-On tool like he said to. Then I moved the "new updated version" of PC36IMG (I had the old version on my card already). He said something about the "S-Off" appearing on his phone but not the viewer's...well, mine says S-Off.
So fast forwarding, I got Sprint to push me the update for 2.3.3. It downloaded it, but then a voicemail error came up saying I had 2 voicemails. Then when I called voicemail, it said I had no messages. Sprint said a Sprint store would have to physically go into the phone to erase the error.
I also got a second update message that said there were minor enhancements to Gingerbread. I tried downloading them but the installation failed. Sprint told me to ignore the update, that there had been issues with Gingerbread (and the update) and that they were working on getting these resolved.
Somehow I managed to clear the phone and get back to 2.1. Here's what my system says when I look at the Phone Information:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
When I boot into the main bootloader/Recovery menu (Phone Off + Power Button + Volume Down), here's what it says:
Supersonic EVT2-2 ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC3610000)
If I click down to Recovery from this menu and press "Power" to enter it, NOW I get a picture of an EVO with a Red Triangle/Exclamation Point. This means I have to take my battery out and restart the phone.
Also, the OTA SimpleRoot procedure doesn't seem to work on the phone either. When I originally set it back, the procedure worked. Now it just goes through the motions on the computer but nothing happens with the phone (rebooting, skating Androids, etc.)
All I want to do is basically put it back 2.2 and re-run Baked Snack 1.7 which was giving me NO issues.
If someone could help me with this issue, I would be very grateful.

Well you have a simple fix. The error you got with the triangle and red ! is you booting into recovery, but no recovery is loaded [stock recovery]. Head over to the development section, and download the recovery of your choice. Personally I recommend in order: twrp [team win recovery project] , amon ra 2.3, cwm 3.0+. After you have your recovery installed, boot back into recovery and flash your baked snack rom. Also, don't manually take an OTA of 2.3.3 as it can't be rooted. if you want to try a gingerbread rom, simply download CM7, evervolv, deck's, ect rom and flash it like any other rom. Just backup your previous rom before flashing so you can go back.

Basically amon ra, but better. it has some additional options, such as the option to automatically reboot after a successful flash [good for doing a single flash, but if you're doing multiple, checked it at the last flash.] You have the option to compress backups to save space, though it takes a little bit longer, and they have some built in skins you can change at will. And MOAR.

I tried rooting using this method:
http://www.androidcentral.com/evo-4g-root-instructions
I put the PC36IMG on the root of my SD card and let the phone update in bootloader. It seemed to work fine, updated, rebooted the phone, etc.
Then I downloaded ROM Manager so I could let Clockwork install and then install Amon Ra....when ROM Manager tried installing Clockwork, it gave me the following message: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
It also will not let me flash an alternate recovery. I have the file "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img" on the root of my SD card right now.
What does this mean? Does this mean I'm not rooted? Or some other issue? I remember eons ago when I tried using this program I got the same message but I don't remember how I got around it. (obviously I did though)
Is there a different way I should install it?

That's a bit outdated; use unrevoked. I've already done the linking for you.
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install <- Download and install the modified hboot drivers, follow the instructions.
2. On your phone, enable usb debugging from the applications > development, in settings
3. Connect your phone to your pc via usb cable, leave it on the home screen, no apps should be running; restart the phone just to be sure.
4. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install <- download and run unrevoked
It'll take 3-5 minutes and reboot about 2 times, don't touch in the process, it'll say done at the end. Also, this will only work if on 2.2 still. if on 2.3.3, you're outta luck.

Okay, forget Rom Manager, forget "rooting" your phone - at least according to the normal use of the word.
Delete any PC36IMG files you may have on your SD card, then download this one of Amon Ra 2.3: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
Don't rename it, don't extract it... just put it on the root of your SD card. Then download whatever rom you want to use. Put it on the root of your SD card or in a folder that you'll remember. Amon Ra (and possibly other recoveries) can flash zips that are inside of folders. Just be sure that you know where it is because you'll need to navigate to it in recovery.
Then boot into the bootloader and let it flash the way you've done with other PC36IMG files. When it asks you to reboot just decline and then select recovery. I would make a backup just in case, then flash your rom.

Thank you guys, I will try these methods when I get back from work tonight. I really really appreciate it, I was about having a meltdown without my phone (the way I want it).
I'll report back either way. (and yes, I'm still on 2.1-update1)

OK, I forgot to mention this earlier...last time I was stuck in the Boot Sequence where it kept looping the Sprint and 4G logo....now that I'm rooted using plainjane's method (thank you) I'm stuck with the same thing.
I flashed the recovery, then flashed the Baked Snack ROM....now I'm in the Baked Snack bootload section....and it just keeps looping.
Is this an issue with my system that can be resolved?

EDIT: So weird. I went back into Recovery and wiped everything and set the phone back to original condition...and voila, Baked Snack comes up as the ROM! So now it appears it's for the most part back to normal and back to where I wanted it....thank you guys again.
Now can anyone point me in the direction of the latest radios, etc. that I can download and flash?
And why would it be giving me those looping problems, and then go back to normal when I cleared/wiped everything?
I mean, I'm happy this happened but I don't want the same things happening if I decide to flash another ROM at some point.

[Q] Can't load Recovery

So I installed that Beats Audio for all Gingerbread phones yesterday night.
Flashed fine and the phone worked fine.
Today I wanted to update to the newest Nightly for CM7 and when I went went into the bootloader and chose Recovery the phone restarted back to the Bootloader screen.
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks

why do you boot into the bootloader first?no multi-boot option?Anyway,it sounds like the CM7 rom you flashed is corrupted,It sounds like you might have to format your sd card and start over,or reload a new recovery from the bootloader.If you had a multi-boot option you might be able to solve this without formatting.

hey,
try doing a factory reset getting rid of any apps you currently have and try using the advanced power menu to boot into recovery if that doesnt work, try re flashing a different recovery. let us know how it goes from there!
Good luck,
Stevo

Just try reflashing the recovery, should solve the problem.

can't flash Elite Series IV Resurrected

CWM is junk, for one. Switch to Amon Ra

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^°^
What he said. Man, I just finished typing the same advice in a different thread. Lol.
Seems people coming from Samsung devices in particular tend to start with CWM. I'm not speculating on the OP here, just a trend I've noticed as of late.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I used CWM for my initial nandroid, after first rooting with Unrevoked, then flashed Amon. Anyway, as said try re-flashing recovery. Also, FYI, that "all Gingerbread Roms" was just for one device, the article was slightly inaccurate. I flashed the Beats audio zip myself but upon investigating in Roote Explorer saw that none of the files had actually written.

CWM is a great and sometimes better choice for a lot of phones, just not the Evo

I have been thinking about Wiping everything and starting from scratch again, but I am afraid that if I wipe I wont be able to get into the recovery and get screwed and not be able to re-flash C-Mod 7.
