[Q] Evo keeps looping at 4G Sprint splash screen....

Hi all. I do not post much on here and am relatively new with this so please bear with me if it is in the wrong forum and if I explain something that is worded incorrectly.
I rooted my phone following the 2 part video series I found on here and all was going well until I tried to place the following theme on it:
[THEME] MattedBlues - CM 6.0.0 and Sense 2.2 Versions *UPDATED 09/13/2010*
I rebooted after flashing it through the recovery screen and cannot get it to boot into the home screen at all. As stated in the title, I see the Sprint splash screen and then the 4G screen to start. It then sits there for a few seconds and then starts back at the Sprint splash screen again.
Any help would be appreciated as to what I can do to get back to where I was and also possibly tell me what I may have done wrong to cause this.
Thanks in advance!

You need to pull the batter hold down the volume button and hold the power boot into recovery. Go to USB mode copy over another ROM and reflash. OR restore the backup you should have performed before you flashed the theme being new I doubt you did this step.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes, you are right...being a noob I did not do the backup but believe me once I get this back up and running, that will be the first thing I do!
About your other suggestion, I tried to reflash with the unrevoked-forever and it still keeps doing the same thing. Should I wipe the cache out and reflash or is that not the problem here? Also, what other ROM would you suggest to be a good starter for someone new such as I am?
Thanks again!

Well, I decided to do a data wipe and reflash with a different Rom and it is now working.
Thanks!

[Q] htc desire wont boot up

i am new to the forum and i am looking for some help i have a htc desire unbranded and it is stuck on the htc splash screen it is on hboot 0.93 and i have tried downgrading but it keeps coming up main version is older i can get into fast boot but not recovery i have been reading a lot of threads but cannot figure it all out as there is so much information i'm chasing my tail tail lol if anybody can help me i will be very grateful.

Why are you trying to downgrade? You could use an RUU as a quick fix but it will wipe everything. You haven't given any details of what you tried to do or are wanting to do.

i believe i have to downgrade to hboot 0.83 to get the phone to work but im not sure i have tried a lot of ruu's but cant seem to find the right one i'm very confused by it all to be honest i'm stuck as to what to do

It would also be helpful, if you used a little bit more correct grammer (putting punctuation between each sentence) as much as possible. Some of us, can't understand what you're talking about. This isn't FB or an sms
Also, it would help. if you said exactly what you did, and how you got into this situation. Ie; flashes, etc.
For example, are you rooted? Were you trying to flash a custom ROM?

htc stuck on boot up
Sorry i am not the greatest writer. I was on 2.1 and upgraded ota to 2.2.then the phone started resetting itself. before not booting altogether.i am currently on rom image 2.29.405 hboot 0.93 .and thats as far as i know.

htc stuck on boot up
The phone just hangs on the white htc screen.and wont go into recovery.

First of all, you have a desire. Before running any update, you need to create a Gold Card. It's not specific to "all" desires. But, better safe than sorry.

To boot into recovery the manual way, turn phone off.
Hold volume down, and press the power button.
This should boot to recovery.
If you get the Triangle, with exclamation mark,
press Vol Up + Power
This will bring you to another recovery menu where you can : Reboot , Flash from sd , Wipe Data/factory ,Wipe Cache
If you can recover the system, I highly suggest creating the Gold Card.
And one more note, if you decide to flash to a stock RUU, I highly recommend wiping all cache memories before flashing. Yeah, I know they will tell you that it's not necessary, but hey, I believe in overkill.

htc stuck on boot up
That's the thing it wont go into recovery, I can go into boot loader and fast boot but when i press up and power it goes back to the htc screen and hangs there again, i have tried a ruu which seemed to be successfull but it still hangs on the htc screen and will go no further.

If you can't get into any type of recovery, just how are you able to flash?
Bear with my stupidity here.
Without a menu system in any type of recovery, I am at a loss.
However, I have heard, that, some people put their phones in the freezer for several minutes. And that the phone would boot. Enogh where they col=uld goto recovery, and fix what they messed up.
Now, I would suspect it;s because the processor was overheating during boot. Probably because cache memories weren't wiped before flashing, and crap got all messed up.
Normally, I would never suggest this. And you do this at your own risk. So if it's messed up beyond repair, please, do not blame me,

htc stuck on boot up
I went into fastboot usb then ran the 2.29.405 ruu which completed successfully,i even extracted the pb99img.zip file and updated that way but still no luck,ill throw it in the freezer for 5 and give it a whirl, who knows might work. and thank you

The freezer thing, is a last ditch effort. And it is only a temporary thing. 15 minutes max. Maybe enough to allow you to clear caches and flash.
I have run out of expertise. So, I have nothing more to offer...

Phone restarts and won't turn on

For the past several months my phone would restart randomly when I used 3G, GPS or sometime just from heavy usage. It would turn off, boot to the white HTC screen but then the screen went black and it would vibrate 3 times and a led would blink. At that point the only way to turn it back on was to pull the battery and power on (although that usually didn't work until after a few tries or letting it sit for a while).
It has done this with both CM7.1 and decks 1.3 and with the Tiamat 3.3.7 & 4.1 kernels. I flashed Mason .14 on Tuesday hoping it might fix the problem. It did at first but after 24 hours it was back to restarting randomly, only this time it was worse. I was also getting a lot of force closes and it would restart even it was sitting unused. It would take hours until I could get it to successfully boot again. I attempted to do a full wipe and install CM7.2 yesterday only to find out I can not boot into recovery, attempting to do so causes the phone to turn off (I tried both through holding the power button and selecting recovery and through the bootloader).
As of right now my phone will not turn back on at all (going on 4 hours), I've had it successfully boot twice only to immediately turn off, other times it gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
I am still able to access the bootloader so I'm thinking my best option may be to place a PC36IMG.zip on my sdcard and see if I can't flash back to stock and then load CM7.2. My concerns are a) not sure if that will even work b) if the phone were to turn off in the middle of that would it completely brick my phone?
Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to provide as much info as possible. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can't boot into recovery? Have you tried reflashing your recovery? Get a PC36IMG file of your desired recovery (preferably amonRA, or drellisdee) and flash it thru bootloader. It only takes a second to flash, so I wouldn't be too worried about it shutting off while flashing it.
That's all I got.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. Flashes the recovery just fine but I still can't access it. I did manage to get my phone to boot into android after trying, not sure if that's a coincidence or not.
So I'm left with my original option, flashing a stock PC36IMG.zip. Also this might be a dumb question but can I rename anything PC36IMG.zip and flash? If so I could just rename Calkulin's format all, flash that and then repeat the process with CM7.2. Anyone know if this will work?
Edit: Should probably also ask if anyone knows what is causing this, is it a kernel issue?

Just a thought, maybe a bad battery or a bad usb?
Did you try the battery in another phone? Or, another battery in your phone?
Sounds like it may also be going for the reboot of death... If your recovery is corrupted and getting random reboots, maybe your internal storage is going bad...

I was able to flash back to stock and it is still having similar problems. Turns off during any sort of data usage both 3g and Wifi. The fact that it has happened on multiple ROMs, multiple kernels, and multiple radios makes me think it is something hardware related. I guess I will talk to sprint and see what they can do.
BTW does anyone know of a method to flash an S-On zip file as a PC36IMG in the bootloader? I am still S-Off because I can't go into recovery to flash.

Well after going back to stock but still being S-Off I decided to try reflashing Amon_RA and I eventually got it to boot into recovery. It was similar to booting into the OS, I just had to pull the battery and wait 30+ mins before trying and then boot into bootloader and select recovery. It was a PITA since I needed flash a couple things but it worked. Got it back to S-On and took it to Sprint. Of course they didn't bother checking for any of that haha but I was able to get a replacement EVO.

[Q] Can't access bootloader at all. Please help!

Hi guys
I've searched the forum for something like this but I'm coming up empty handed. But then again, I'm freaking out a bit.
I just tried flashing ARHD 9.7.0 and I've hit a big snag... For a bit of background, I was previously running ARHD 9.4.2 with the Endeavoru-Faux123-010b3 kernal. The battery was at 35% when I started the process...
I downloaded the zip, put it onto my SD card and rebooted into CWM. No worries there.
Did a wipe/factory reset and wiped the cache aswell. No worries there.
I did NOT flash the boot.img in the zip as I believed it would work okay with the current kernel (possibly the issue)
Went to install zip from SD card and chose the zip to install. AROMA starts up and I go through the familiar install process. No problem there.
I checked the reboot now option in AROMA and let it reboot. This is where the fun begins...
I get the beepy boopy start up sound and let it sit there because, as we all know, first boot can take a while. 10 minutes later, it's stuck at the HTC One splash screen. So I thought I'd reboot into CWM and start over like I've done with other ROM/kernal incompatibilities.
So I hold down the power button, let the three lights blink and the screen go blank and hold down the volume down button. And it goes back to attempting to boot up. I've tried different combinations of holding the buttons down and letting them go and hell, I've even sat there hammering the volume down button while it starts up! Still, I can't get into the bootloader.
Obviously, no bootloader, no ADB connection so I can't go through CMD and can't re-flash the kernel.
I'm currently sitting here looking at it. The USB cable is plugged in and the orange light is lit up so I hope it's charging. I'm at a loss here guys. Please, if anyone can give me some help, I will be most appreciative.

I'm really sorry to have wasted your time. It worked eventually after about 50 tries! :laugh:
Looks like it ws a kernel incompatibility.
But out of curiosity and for anybody else who gets this problem and really can't boot into the bootloader, what would be the steps involved in recovering a device in that state? I'd rather look like a knob in public as long as something constructive comes from it. :silly:

It's a bit tricky to get into hboot after a forced reboot, I think we've all been there

Just avoid the problem altogether by flashing the boot.img inside the zip first to make sure that it boots. Once up and running, flash your custom kernel and modules.

And don't let go when reboots keep hold of buttons and it should go to bootloader

HTC One X will not boot into recovery.

Hi all, I've tried many things so I'm reaching out before I giving up on the HOX
So, It's totally my mistake, but I think I may flashed an incorrect ROM (with different recovery layout possibly?) Maximus Hd I believe 4.2.2...
When I had a 5.1 Rom installed.
After installing, phone reboots after HTC screen.
When I try to enter recovery from HBoot, recovery splash screen pops up and then the phone immediately reboots.
I tried flashing different recoveries.
All the same issue.
Phone reboots before entering recovery.
It's even more frustrating because I have a low battery, so it's that much more difficult to flash anything from fastboot cause i can hardly get it a charge.
Any Ideas?
Please and Many Thanks.

I've also tried a boot loop batch script to charge,
but it doesn't reboot into bootloader and just starts over in a regular bootloop
If I happen to get a charge enough anyway
I'm going to try flash the boot.img from the maximus hd rom
and flash CWM recovery
as I've been using twrp
Not managing to get a charge over 3375mv.... :\
if the phone boots to htc screen
it sucks it back down
