Son of an infinite boot loop!!!!! Help Plz!

No idea what is wrong with this damn phone but this happens every time I turn it off. It goes to the white Evo 4G screen, then resets, vibrates, and goes right back to the Evo 4G screen.
Not rooted, nothing custom about this phone.
Help please!

Try running a RUU.

Absolutely.
This is what they would do at the Sprint store if they have to reset your phone.
Nothing to be afraid of.

only if ur s-off can check if it says s-off or s-on in your bootloader

nah u shouldnt be worried bro

Are you rooted and what method did you use? What did you do last that started the issues? You could just try to reflash a OTA rooted version check the DEV forums for one .

Okay just read your thing lol your not rooted did you do any of the OTA updates? Might be causing your issues. Since your not rooted. If your having issues take it to sprint they will probably swap it out.

I am doing this the most ass-backwards way possible.
I do not have a USB-Micro USB cord. I am now transferring that large file via bluetooth to my Blackberry, where I switched the Micro CD Card out with my EVO. I also lost my Micro-SD adapter.
This whole ordeal has been one massive fail.
I'm about to pass out, but will update tomorrow.
Thanks!
Edit: Limited to 5 thanks per day? Well, until tomorrow, my verbal thanks will have to suffice gentlemen.

Bricked EVO?

So I installed unrevoked [Followed step by step everything was fine]
Here's where I think I messed up (ROYALLY) I went into recovery and installed the freshEVO ROM from .zip and it installed but was stuck on the HTCEVO 4G screen, I waited like 15+min see if the install was slow, then I rebooted (took out battery) and cleared cache just did everything I think I could do to remove and now my phone is like bleh :[
Help please and thanks.

You can reroot if you want once you ruu'd your phone. Its entirely up to you.
It also could have just been a bad flash or a bad file

Just use the 3.70 RUU and you can reroot.

Yeah I press volume down and power then I go to recovery and it runs clockwork recovery, and that's about it

Then you can use caulkin's format all and then flash whatever ROM and kernel you want.
I would just run a RUU, 3.70, and then reroot.

Rename the zip file PC36IMG and put it on the root of your sdcard and then boot into the bootloader and accept the update.

He has root if he has clockwork. Dude just install a rom.

I agree with riley you have clockwork no need to go back to square one. I had the same problem with fresh ROM. Get Sprint lovers its simple to use.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153 and like every thing else put it on the root of you're SD card (or out side of the folders).

[Q] Phone is stuck in the HTC Evo 4G screen

Tittle says everything.
I've researched about it for an hour or so now..and the answer I came up with is to get this thing for the SD card, hook up on my laptop, and get sock stock image or something like that.
May anyone help me? I really need help.

(HELP) Red triangle on recovery

I am rooted and on fresh rom with s-on and hboot 0.79.00 . I want to flash new roms but i am not able to do so coz recovery is nt working.PLEASE HELP ME

Do you remember how you rooted. You either rooted with toast method (PC36IMG file), Simple Root, or Unrevoked?

I bought this off ebay so i have no idea how he rooted. Can you please guide me how to flash rom without recovery?

Busybox installed I hope, and latest version?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/EVO-recovery.zip

The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Toast Method 1 (only needed a PC36IMG file and a temp recovery) or the old Unrevoked (3.1 something, before unrevoked-forever was added). It did not need S-OFF for just flashing ROMs.

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).

Thank you Everyone
I found the problem and fixed it. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.

Help - S - off not working

HI everyone, I need some help. My micro USB port went on my phone and VW sent me a replacement. I used the tacoroot temp root methond and the Revolutionary to gain s- off and flashed the newest radio etc. All seemed fine. Fastboot screen say S- off and shows newest radio, I thought great! time to root. Nope..here is what I get:
first of all I have to use adb shell to boot the phone into Revolutionary/CWM recovery. It will not let me do it by holding the power and vol down button.
second when I go into recovery and pick a rom to flash I get this error: E:Can't open /sdcard/xxxx_ rom.zip.
makes no sense to me. Any Ideas?

You didn't receive any errors when using revolutionary? When you boot up your ROM go into settings and look under the power option and make sure fast boot is disabled.
I would go through the whole process again. It sounds like something went wrong in rooting.
