EVO 4G stuck at htc 4g splash screen - I searched for 2 days!!!

Hey guy's, well first off I just want to say I'm a big fan of android and especially xda-developers and all the helpful people on this site. I'm having a pretty big issue, one that I searched for a solution for 2 days now using the search function on here as well as google and many others available and I'm in a corner. I have an EVO 4G I bought from someone off craigslist and everything was fine for 3 weeks then 3 days ago the phone died and i plugged it in with no led light showing the charging status. I thought perhaps it was a bad battery so I bought another battery and with the little life the new battery has it turned on and got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G splash screen.
So I pulled the battery out and re-installed and booted into the bootloader menu only to find out more bad news. When I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader menu it goes to the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and stays there forever. I have tried to clear storage, in which it clears and says everything is ok reboots into the HTC EVO 4G splash screen and gets stuck again, So I'm really concerned now and I cant find a solution anywhere I've tried several different methods to flash amon RA recovery, I downloaded the zip file and changed the name accordingly so the bootloader menu would automatically recognize it and it said installed successfully but still to no avail, and I do not believe I am able to manually flash another recovery method because I cannot get into usb debuggine mode from the phone so I'm not sure how adb would even begin to recognise the phone.......... someone for love of all things fancy please help me!!!! I'm struggling!!! lol

Also this is what appears on my bootloader menu:
supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

I cannot boot into recovery

If you have a card reader,you should be able to download a Rom,put it in the root of your sd card,rename it pc36img.zip,put it back in your phone and flash it through the bootloader.

I have already attempted this method twice but I'll give it another shot

Try running RUU update. Download here:
OTA 3.70
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=86NCAM22
Link grabbed from PPCGEEKS user KarlE
this will revert you back to android 2.2, but this should fix your problem.

downloaded the file and executed it in windows and it reboots the phone from bootloader to bootloader again but phone never comes back on...

Do this, in this order...
Charge battery to full (since there's no way for you to tell how much charge there is you might as well be sure it's full...)
Boot to Bootloader
Select FASTBOOT with volume up/down
Press Power button to go into FASTBOOT
Plug phone in to PC
Run RUU.

Hey I tried this method and all was well for the most part and then the executable ruu said that it could not continue because my battery was less than 30% and my phone won't charge for some strange...

The phone doesn't charge in bootloader, turn the phone off and leave it on the charger when it's OFF until the light goes green, then start over.

Then it's possibly a bad battery or simply a brick now, because if you can't charge it normally, doing anything to get it working again is futile... If you have another battery try that, or if you can take it to a shop and try one of their batteries in it... That's all I can think of doing...

Well I don't think its a complete brick just yet the usb port can't be bad if fastboot reads the pc when connected and vice versa, however I went to frys and bought a universal battery charger and am charging the battery to full right now. I'll let you know something soon thanks for all your help so far.

Ok so I let the battery charge, re-installed and ran the RUU executable file it flashed and installed successfully but is at the same place still gets stuck on htc evo 4g screen

What Rom and kernel were you on when you discovered it at white screen.
Also, did you just find it at the splash screen? or did it random reboot or just not boot?

Stock as far as I know and the phone died and when i went to recharge it and discovered the white splash screen

Ok I'm really stuck nothing is working for me the RUU ran and flashed properly just to get back stuck at the htc evo 4g screen again I was reading somewhere else that it needs to read S-ON on bootloader to flash the OTA RUU is this correct? and if so how can I change it with unrevoked if I cant get adb to recognize the device?

Bricked htc one x!!!!!!!

HELP!!
I bricked my phone after Flashing the Jdroid Exodized rom.
it end up with Bootloop/HTC logo.
My Fault is Before Flashing the rom, my Battery is 10%....
I've Done All the XDA Threads on how to Fix this.
-erasing cache from fastboot mode
-relocking the bootloader(its relocked now)
-Flashing RUU(i can't flash RUU becoz of my Low battery it needs 30%.)
My problem is, How can i Charge my Phone Up to 30%... And how would i know if it is Charging?
coz everytime i plug in my devices USB or Charge, the red light is going on and off,steady,sometimes its Gone...
Im confused.
Please help me T____T
Godbless

Once it gets to the HTC logo and freezes it should charge there.
Are you still able to get this far?

Have a read of this, see if anything helps.

Try flashing the RUU from Fastboot rather than HBOOT, worked for me.
You may need to put stock recovery on and then lock the bootloader first.

If you're using the latest CWM then turn the phone off and charge it

You have to unlock bootloader again by the looks of it.

why don't charge your phone, while it's off? You'll see a red light burning.. when it's green, it's 100%..
than try the RUU..

Boot into recovery, if it's 5.8.3.1 then it's the latest one so just charge the phone when turned off

Try not to panic!!! I went through something similar last week. It should charge there. Leave it be for 3 or 4 hours to charge.
I cant help that much as this is all new to me as well but Im sure some of the smart and nice people of these forums will guide you in the right direction. They certainly helped me out.

That was my thought exactly. Why don't you let it turn off / let the battery die and then charge?

Are you using the HTC charger as it requires 1 amp to charge properly. I found this out when I used my Nokia charger and the light flashed but when I used my HTC one the light stayed on and charged quicker.

RUU Failed can't reflash Battery Low error

Hi yall
I have just tried to reset my One X, it failed flashing, I rebooted it, and now Im stock without a valid rom and it just keeps rebooting into fastboot mode, and it does not help to charge the unit...
What can I do to save my handset??
Best regards

Try flashing CWM (latest) and recharge it. When you tried to go back to stock, was your phone fully charged?

I see.
Well that is a bit difficult having a low battery. If you can get into fastboot mode make sure you select "Fastboot USB" by pressing the power button. And then you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img".
You have to make you have the Fastboot files are in your C: drive and have all the HTC drivers installed.

They might have to charge you to fix the phone. It won't be covered under warranty because of the custom ROM that was flashed on it.

Charge your phone in the "HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT" screen you dont going to see any notification light. But if you have a light notification in your usb charger you going to see when your phone is charging or not.
Try to charge the phone a complete night.

Charge your phone in the "HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT" screen (connect the phone to the charger when you see the screen), you dont gonna see any notification light, if you see a blinking red light restart your phone and try again until you DO NOT SEE any notification light.

When I click "switch off" in boot menu it will just restart and bootloop. I don't know how to charge my battery so I can use RUU again. Please any help will be much appreciated!

Exactly this version. But I've seen odexed later after I installed it.
I was able just to "erase cache" and unlock it. Then flash recovery. Now its in recovery and I'm waiting for it to charge. Hopefully it will.

Once you have the latest CWM you can charge the phone whilst it's off. After that you can flash a ROM/run a RUU and get it back up and running.

I've tried everything. Now im at phase in bootloader - battery very low again. It's not charging from bootloader neither when I start it. Recovery is not working too + I can't unlock it because of the battery. Tried to shut down - not working. HTC made that phone crap because of the internal battery! I hope there will be solution or I have to return it to them,.

To be fair its not HTC's fault, you did do something that they didn't intend.
Also don't charge from the bootloader it needs to be completely off, hold power and volume up to force it off.

I put it in bootloader to charge - it failed and switched off. Turned on bootloop to charge - same story. Tried with clockworkmod latest - same story. So I was going to send it back. Until I switched the usb port on the PC - then the battery problem was not there! I WAS ABLE TO USE RUU! That's how I fixed it.

[Q] I think i soft-bricked my phone. need advice on next step

Hey guys, im going to be as detailed as possible.
Couple of days ago i rooted my One X and it was all good, had installed a custom ROM and everything. But i found out that whatsapp doesnt play nice with custom ROMs. Sicne i need whatsapp( Yeah i tried to download LINE but i cant download large apps(?)) i decided to go back to the stock OS. I had a backup of nandroid on clockwork recovery mod and restored it. But it didnt get past the boot screen. Cleared cache etc still no dice. So i thought it would be a good idea to unroot my phone.No,no it wasnt.
I followed all the unrooting steps, locked the bootloader. Well here is my problem, when i tried to run the RUU it aid i had the wrong one. So i think i have found the right RUU but during the searching my battery went below 30%. Everytime i on/reboot the phone it just goes to fastboot. Am i wasting my time with this RUU stuff? or is it the way to fix my phone? If i it means anything, my cid is htc_44.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Ok guys i really need your help, i cant even re-unlock the bootloader because the battery is too low. Whenever i try and charge it just goes to fastboot. Even if i try and powe it down it goes back into fastboot

what happends when you plug the phone in the wallcharger and boot into fastboot and then choose powerdown .... Does it start to charge and do you see a red charging light come on !
Otherwise you have to search for the batt charge script

It just goes back into fastboot. Im currently charging my battery with the bat file. After its charged what do i do? unlock bootloader and go in clockworld recovery to charge then do the RUU

Well my best guess is that you run the ruu directly after charging
Keep the phone in fastboot USB mode and run the ruu from pc with admin rights !!!

You can charge it from Clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, which is quicker and will charge more than the script.
