[Q] Evo stuck in boot loop

Hi guys, I just got an Evo that will Boot up to saying "HTC EVO 4g" on the white screen, then "evo 4g" with the Android caracter, then Says "Droid" with the droid voice... after that it gets stuck in loop.... specifics are below
NO FACTORY SD Card in it... Though I have a 16gb micro sd i can put in it.
I can boot into where I see this info.
SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.79.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-AMTEL224_16ab
RADIO-1.39.00.04.26
Apr 14 2010, 15:41:34
showing these options below that
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
I'm sure there are probably files that are needed to be on the SD card that it uses to boot...
What do I need to do, or what files do I need?
Thanks in advance!

My friend they are going to tell you that you posted in the wrong area for one but honestly if you use Google you will find out what to do.. a few options... Google my friend Google

Yeah, I Mistakenly posted in Dev. SORRY GUYS! Mods will you please move to correct section. Thanks. I have looked quite a bit already, and I'm not familiar with the Evo.

if you have a sd card with a backup on it you can go into recovery and load the most recent backup!
actually hold up!
download myn warn 2.2 rls5 on your pc
and then xfer it to the sd card!!!
and then boot into recovery and select install from sd
and then goto download and select myn

Edit; i didnt even notice this was in the dev section when I replied. Lost track of where I was when I replied. Normally I'd have waited until it got moved to the proper area before replying. Sorry.

I moved it to Q&A here...

HTCRALEIGHFAN, I got the phone without the original sd card, so no backup that I know of.
k2buckley, phone is used, It does go into recovery with a red triangle. I do have a good 16gb micro sd card for it. just trying to get it back to stock first then go from there. Thanks

Yeah, looks like a launch day evo (like mine). HW0002, hboot. 79 , radio 1.39
. That radio was from before the froyo update. Im curious why it has a droid sound in the bootscreen.
I, too, am curious what you get when you select recovery.
Almost like there's no rom on it? Or a froyo rom was flashed on old radio? How was anything flashed with S-on? All very curious.
But some good suggestions already on this thread. Also, it seems like sd card shouldn't matter, given that a phone can boot with no card, and that you can format your card from recovery

SORRY EVERYONE FOR POSTING IN THE WRONG SECTION!!!!

Would running an RUU help in this case? If so, you can find them in the 'universal auto root' thread. The RUU will take it back to stock, and after you boot normally, and update that bad boy, you can use the auto root tool to flash? Only thing I'm unsure of is if there's an RUU that old, and if so, will it work on a phone that won't boot? The RUU has saved my a$$ a FEW times. Might be worth a shot?
GOOD LUCK!

[Q] How to unbrick Dinc?

I was Flashing the OTA 2.2 Froyo Leak a while ago and it just didnt finish for some reason. Now when I try to turn it on it Vibrates 5 times and has a green blinking light.
Also it is S-ON now for some reason as well.
I have looked everywhere and cannot find a solotion.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit* I have tried flashing other roms and still nothing, (I can access HBOOT but not Recovery) and I cannot flash recovery either. Everything but Hboot is gone. And i tried flashin Ruu and it says main system too old.

5 Vibrates is usually some kind of hardware issue, where-as 3 vibrates is usually a software issue.
BTW, if you're S-On, how are you going to flash any recovery or ROMs? You need to be S-Off before you can flash anything.

How can I get S-OFF then? I can access Recovery but it doesnt do me any good it wont read my sd card.

I have no idea what I did, but it rebooted itself and its working

this is EXTREMELY weird. I had the phone plugged in because I wanted to root, but i was first getting the SD Card files off and when I unplugged the phone the same thing happened already....
So then I plugged the phone on again, went into HBOOT and ran the image until it told me it cant be read, and rebooted and back to normal....
Any idea what happened? I just wanna get opinions out of curiosity.

cool. But no you don't want to be s-off for flashing the RUU back to stock, then you actually flash a s-on image first.

He said he was trying to flash recovery and other ROMs to try and get it to work though too... You can't flash custom recovery without being S-Off.
If you want to flash back the RUU, and go back to complete unrooted stock... then yeah, you want S-On.

Like I said previously, 5 vibrates is usually a hardware issue, meaning you're most likely going to have to send it in for replacement. There's been a few people to recover from a 5-vibrate brick, but they had gotten lucky. You can search the forums and try to find how they fixed it (can't remember the thread off hand, just do a search for 5 vibrates and you'll get lots of results).

[Q] Please help

Can anyone please help me? I do not understand what I'm doing wrong. I am unable to achieve S off on my Incredile 2. I've tried 2 diffent computers, several different usb outlets, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and all it keeps telling me is to go get some lemonade, lol. Fasyboot is turned of and usb debugging is on. So, I'm lost. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreiciated, thx

Are you on froyo or gingerbread? I believe the new revolutionary tool is for GB, so that will make a difference.

I'm on froyo, but followed a video to use revolutionary. It says it will not work with GB. the method that they were using, but did also see it being used for GB another way. Should I update the phone to GB 1st?

Art is right, you need to make sure you are using the correct tool/procedure depending upon what stock version (Froyo or Gingerbread) you are starting from. Good luck!

is AlpdaREV the only way to gain S off as of right now? I cannot update the phone since there is no service to it even with wifi. I'm trying to root it then flsh it to Cricket Mobile.

u can use the gingerbread official ruu and flash it with hboot to upgrade then run revolutionary. usually if you get the lemonade message you have gotten s off though

s-off is what you want, but i'll assume that's a typo o.o
if you're on froyo, use alpharevX, if you're on gingerbread, use revolutionary

sorry i meant S-on

Ok, so I was using revolutionary, but have found posts that alpharev x is no longer in use. I found the Zip, n tried it with no luck once again, please shoot me, lol. Since I generated a beta key prior using revolutionary it is not excepted in rev x. So, i guess I'm left with gingerbread ruu through HBOOT. Can anyone direct me were to find out how to do this? I am unsure which image to extract n if it is to go in the adb file or what. thx

simi brick?

I have hw 003 hboot 2.10. I can enter hboot but not recovery. during normal boot phone just shows evo boot screen and boot loops. same thing when I try to enter recovery. I was s-off but after trying some methods in other brick threads I ended up with s-on.
I was using miui 2.2.3 when I turned it rebooted into recovery to make a nand and that is when the loops started. I have tried several ruu's with no luck on getting it to boot. was going to try the lastest ruu but not sure if I should.
I am flashed for cricket so there is not the option of bricking and returning to sprint for a replacement.
Edit: was not using twrp. Ar 2.3 was my recovery. As stated earlier I tried several ruu's in pc36img.zip.

If you can get to hboot you are not bricked. Have you tried using a pc36img of a stock rom in the hboot? This should boot you to a stock rom, thus allowing you to re-root and get your recovery back.

Oh I am sure Captain will save the day soon as he always does.
That does not sound like fun man, sometimes the evos get crazy and there is nothing you can do about it. Did you do anything different before you had this issue? flash any files, adjust any system settings or mess with the hardware in anyway?

No i had been running miui for a few days and was getting prepared for the next update by doing a nand. I rebooted to recovery with the reboot option in the rom. Then bang boot loop city here i am.

You weren't using twrp2.0 were u? If you were more than likely SOL that's one of the main reasons twrp for the evo is no longer supported even tho it works great on other devices like the kindle fire and 3vo I use it on the KF which I have running cm9 which I just got running on the evo as well now I gotta get my kernel fixed for this thing, have you tried reflashing your recovery?

You guys flatter me .
I don't have any experience with MIUI, though. It's the one ROM I've never tried, but if it's an AOSP ROM, then the bootloop of death is always a possibility.
We haven't had any success rescuing anyone in that scenario, unfortunately. Flashing the ENG HBOOT will allow you to run fastboot commands, though, so that's probably the first step if you want to flash stuff through fastboot.
If you can't get adb working, then there probably isn't much hope. Since you ended up S-ON, and now without a custom recovery, I don't think there's much you can do. Perhaps others with a similar issue can chime in, but as far as I know, there's no current solution. The only way I'd know for sure is having the phone in my hands personally, but I doubt that's a possibility. I haven't personally experienced this bootloop thing, but it sounds scary .

EDIT: This is the thread - you'll probably want to read the whole thing, and if you have issues, maybe you can PM the guy that got it working.
The potential problem I see for you is that you're S-ON and bootloader is locked. You're probably going to have to unlock your device with HTCDev.com before you can make any headway. How were you able to write NV items to the phone? Don't you have to be S-OFF to do that?

[Q] How to root HTC Evo 4G on 2.3.4??

Ok so I've been looking around and can't seem to find really good answers to my questions. First of all I'm wanting to root a Japanese HTC Evo 4G on version 2.3.4 Hboot 2.15. The only way I can really find how to do this is to go through HTCdev and do a bootloader unlock. Now my problem with that is that it says it will wipe all personal information on the phone during this process, which I don't want to have to go through and re-input everything again. All posts I find on this are pretty old and don't seem to apply atm. So I guess basically I have a couple questions. Can you back up this info so that you don't have to back through and manually re-input it all?? Is it safe and good to do for my phone? I'm fairly familiar with the root process as I had an HTC Evo 4G before that I rooted but ended up losing that phone and had to get a new one, that being said it was my first root ever done. Also if anybody knows of roms that work great with the AU mail service?? I had flashed a couple of roms before and couldn't get that service back on the phone no matter what I tried so stayed rooted with just stock rom. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated and links and such. Thank you

Also I should mention that I don't understand or speak enough japanese to actually feel comfortable following a japanese youtube video on how to do this. I watched 1 and understood most of what he was saying but just not comfortable enough to use it as a guide.

Use the Revolutionary tool to root your phone http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

Hmm nope doesn't work. I keep getting Failed to get Root! Not sure what else to do after I punch in the beta key and hit enter it just sits at Zerging Root for about 30 secs then pops that up. Also it appears that maybe the HTCdriver is not working properly? When I look at the drivers from my computer for the phone it says 2.0.7.6 and when I click on the HTCdriver 3.0.0.007 nothing really happens except for asking for permission to run and then I hit run and that's it.

So here's a question now. I see I can delete the driver for this. Should I, then try to run HTCdriver 3.0.0.007?? Not sure what else to do atm.

Try uninstalling the driver and install them with this http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe
Then try using the revolutionary tool

You don't by chance have a PC36IMG file on your SD card, do you? I saw where this was causing some issues for others, particularly when the phone reboots to the bootloader. Delete the file if it's there, rename it or move it off the root of your SD card.
Also, make sure you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, and any antivirus software on your computer turned off. I've used Revolutionary to root & S-off 4 different OG EVO's and I've only had an issue once, and it was due to HTC Sync being installed on my laptop (Revolutionary would open and then immediately close).

Also, make sure you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, and any antivirus software on your computer turned off. I've used Revolutionary to root & S-off 4 different OG EVO's and I've only had an issue once, and it was due to HTC Sync being installed on my laptop (Revolutionary would open and then immediately close).
