OK, so long time lurker/flasher, but rarely poster. I've been flashing roms for a while now (up to ICS), and wanted to go back to something more stable and complete. I'm on downloaded Nil's Rom, wiped system,boot,cache, etc. and ran a couple superwipe scripts to make sure. I flashed the rom, it booted once, said I needed to do a data wipe again, so I rebooted to recovery, wiped data/factory reset, and now I can't get past the white boot screen.
I can't get into HBOOT or recovery. No vibes except the 3 vibes when I tried power+volume up. I've looked through a couple older threads, but the solutions seem to be related to other problems. Anybody have any advice on a thread/steps to undertake?
EDIT: Looks like ADB shows up in device manager, if that helps
Try a battery pull, then volume down + power.
Well, I'm not sure what I did that works, but my combinations of battery pulls and button presses eventually got me into hboot, then recovery, then a nandroid restore.
Mods can delete this thread if needed.
Thanks for the attention!
Well.
1. Wiping after flashing a sense 3 or sense 3.5 ROM will cause bootloops which is why your ROM didn't boot up. You'd need to Nandroid or flash again.
2. Hboot is indeed volume down+power. Volume up+power will give you the 3 vibes.
No need to delete thread. Just add [RESOLVED] to the beginning of the title.

Flashed Myn's R4, and then flashed Warmlines boot animation. Now stuck in Warmlines boot loop. Power/Vol+ doesn't get me into Clockwork Mod, and ADB cannot detect my device. The only way to stop the reboot cycle is to remove the battery. I have searched the forums and Google using the terms Evo 4G and Boot Loop, but haven't found a solution yet. Suggestions?
*Power/Vol- seems to be the right path to take. Please disregard this post until I do something else idiotic.

Your phone didn't like the boot animation eh. Pull the battery out. Let it sit out for a couple minutes. Put it back in. Hold Power and VolDown simultaneously until it loads up the bootloader, then release. Wait for it to scan the sd card, youll see some stuff scroll down the screen real quick. Then select recovey. Once you're in recovery, wipe everything 2 or 3 times (data, cache, davlik cache) Now you can either restore a nandroid backup if you have one or reflash Myn's RLS4. That should be successful, then reboot. I guess you could try reflashing the ROM without wiping data, but I would suspect that to still leave you in a bootloop, but maybe not. It would be worth a try to reflash the ROM without wiping data, and see if it boots and if it runs okay. Otherwise wipe data.
I flashed the incredibly re-engineered v2.2 rom a week or so ago and it worked great till today it was giving me a force close on a bunch of apps, so i restared it and it still didn't help. Did a *228 and when it restated it just goes to the black screen that says htc incredible Loading then after several seconds it flashes blank for half a second then says same thing. I used rom manager to flash it. I've also used virtuous and skyraider 3.5. I'm good at computers but android is new to me as i've only had this fon 2 months. I have to do a battery pull to restart it. Any Ideas on how to fix this? I can boot into recovery but havn't been able to do anything... Never used it so not sure what to look for but like when i click recovery or factory reset, nothing happens. Oh, and i did a search but didn't come up with similiar problem.

Flash a different rom.
sent from my Dinc
How do I do that? When I boot in recovery mode I have option of fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, and factory reset. When I select recovery it goes to bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down, with reboot highlighted. Wen I select that it boots like normal than gets stuck on boot up screen.
Try fixing permissions through Rom Manager first, if not I would reinstall the rom. Be sure to do a full wipe, don't just flash over your previous rom.
If neither of those work, I would follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Flash back to stock 2.2 and see if your phone starts acting the same way. If so I would take it back to verizon. If everything seems ok, re-root and flash JUST the rom and apps that you want, no kernel, themes, anything extra yet. See if that fixes the problem.
I made sure I did full wipe when I installed it so that shouldn't b problem. The issue Is i can eve get to rom manager because he Fon wont load past the boot image. And its out of warany so vzw prolly wuldnt be much help.

I would re-download a different ROM (making sure you don't have a corrupt download), check the MD5 SUM's to verify integrity of your download, mount USB Storage in Recovery to transfer the file to your USB card (when phone is off, hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time), wipe all user data/factory reset and Dalvik, and then reflash the ROM of your choice.

Go to that link in my post, download the PB31IMG from the 2.2 Stock OTA, put it on the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader and let it update. You will go back to being completely stock and unrooted. Root it and then try installing the rom again.
So here is the problem and what I've done so far:
My power button is broken, as in it doesn't work at all and it used to work a little bit but now it is just shot. So this obviously makes it kinda hard to do anything in recovery since the power button is used to select things. I had Amon Ra v2.2 installed and flashed clockwork 3.0.0.5 in an attempt to use Rom Manager to automatically wipe and flash roms. I know that isn't the best idea and I found that out. When I tried this process everything seemed fine but when once I got to the boot animation I was thrown into a bootloop. Now what I've tried is to wipe everything via adb and then restore a backup via abd as well. The problem is that the nandroid-mobile.sh restore command didn't work (I believe the every was something like 'sbin:sh: nandroid-mobile.sh not found'). I understand that I can do all of these things through fastboot as well but I tried that a couple months ago and it did not turn out well. That time my power button started working partially after a day so I could navigate into recovery and do things manually. But as I said the power button is completely broken now. Also I already tried taking it to sprint and they said is was a problem with the motherboard (probably dropped it or something).
Having said that I would appreciate anyone helping me to wipe and flash a rom via adb or fastboot. Please give me clear instructions that are guaranteed to work because I am kinda a noob at this. (Also I have spent about 6 hours trying to figure this out so please to get pissed at me for not trying) Any help?
So I flashed the "Synergy" rom and noticed that I didnt have the 3d carousel effect after letting the rom run for 2 days. I then noticed another download for the rom with the 3d effect. After flashing that rom I am now stuck on the splash screen. I can also no longer boot into recovery. I am able to access the bootloader but that's it. I cant access nothing on my phone.
Find it odd that you cannot get into Recovery. Are you pulling battery, then holding power and down key?
Yep... Ive pulled the battery several times, and tried accessing the recovery by holding power and the down button.. All it does is restart at the splash screen and stays..
Did you wipe prior to flashing ? Never had that issue so what happens when you click on recovery in the boot loader.
You said in the first post that you can access the boatloader, but in your next post, you say starting your phone with vol down and power takes you to your splash screen... this is an important piece of info for me/us to know in order to help, give advice.
If it goes to the boatloader, try reflashing a custom recovery. If it's going straight to your splash screen, that is a result of " fastboot" being enabled in the settings menu, and you're holding your phone wrong and have to wait longer ( up to 10 minutes) as it can take a while to build the dalvik cache and set up the symlinks.
Tower, this is SkyRaider requesting a fly-by...
Flash a custom recovery pc36img.zip in bootloader. When done boot into recovery and factory wipe. Then partition your sd with 1024mb ext2, move ext2 to ext3. Flash synergy and u should be good. Backup ur sdcard before partitioning it.

It's one of two things... bad wipe or user is just impatient and isn't used to the longer initial boot time of the sense 3.0 roms, so panic sets in after 2 minutes of boot

Ok here's my process fellas and this is whats happening (or not happening). Phone is stuck on the SPLASH screen. I can hold the volume down button and power and get into the bootloader. Here's what Ive tried so far thats not working for me. Trying to go into recovery through the bootloader takes me back to a stuck SPLASH screen. Ive installed a PC36IMG.zip (Custom recovery) and when the HBoot looks for the file it doesnt see it. The file doesnt have zip.zip as the extension and the MD5checksum was good on the file. When I installed the rom I did do a full wipe and when i hit restore it took me to my SPLASH screen and stayed there longer than 10 minutes. I flashed plenty of roms and this is the 1st time ive been at this point where im unable to boot my phone. I suspect the recovery is broken
and as of now, there is no other way (that i know of now) for me to load a custom one into my phone.
I also tried to push the file via adb and when entering the command adb shell, i get a device cannot be found message.
Hope this helps you guys help me.
I'm now having the same problem with my Thunderbolt. I need some major help. I can boot into bootloader, but not recovery because I have a p50IMG.zip on my sd card...so it just scans it and asks to install...how do I get it off of the card?
For the past few months I have been running CM7 with no problems, but lately I've been running into many problems at once, with bunches of apps force closing at once, not being able to download new apps, and nothing saving between reboots (downloaded apps, new widgets, etc).
I finally gave up with all this nonsense and tried a factory reset, but all my apps were still there after wiping. I was really confused and decided to revert to stock using the PB31IMG.zip file I found on another post here.
Now I'm stuck in a boot loop and am out of ideas. Can someone please help?

Slow down, you're not bricked if you can power on. If you're trying to do a complete factory reset, go here to obtain the latest stock image. Ensure your sdcard is FAT32, and put that file (renamed exactly as PB31IMG.zip) on the root of your sdcard. Pull the battery, reinsert, boot into HBOOT (by holding down power and vol down) and wait for it to load the file. Select yes (vol up) to apply update and let it do it's thing. Once done and in your "new" stock OS, unrevoked to re root.

That's what I just did... Several times. I'm stuck in a boot loop
try using the windows ruu utility. Also what radio are you running now.
