Can you get into recovery? If so wipe cache and dalvik then reboot. If it still doesn't boot up, wipe everything except sdcard and flash rom again.

if you rooted and have cwm recovery, try taking the battery out, putting it back in then connecting the charger while its off, this should take you to recovery

[Q] Desire won't boot

Hi everyone,
I've got a problem. My rooted desire running ReflexTSenseHD v1.8. Last night the battery went dead or so I thought then. Anyway when I got home and I tried to charge it nothing happened. Tried a few things (battery out, battery in) and finally got it charging.
The next morning I tried to boot it and but it hangs on the white HTC screen. Took the battery out, tried it again still the same screen. Took the battery out again and tried it one last time. I booted it in the bootloader and cleared storage. This time it booted, but when it finaly got to the lock screen it said: connect charger but couldn't get it off the lockscreen. Took the battery again and this time it booted normally and worked like nothing happend.
After a few hours I got curious if it would boot normally right away. But unfortunately, the whole thing started over again.
I searched the web, but couldn't find anything like this. The white htc screen freeze is known, but that is usually due to a broken/ faulty bootchip which in my case is not likely because I can boot (sometimes).
I haven't got a clue what to do next but hope any of you do.
Thanks for reading this, and hope that somebody has a solution.

ps sometimes I can boot in recovery but most of the times it will hang on the white htc screen.
Try boot into recovery and wipe the boot, cache, system, data, dalvik cache and do a factory reset too. What on a fresh rom. If you can't be bothered with that, use an ruu which will do a fresh everything, even the bootloader. If things still are messing up, talk to HTC it your carrier.

Thanks somehow I got into recovery and wiped it all, and so far so good

unfortunately the issue has returned. So far I figured out that if I wait long enough, it will boot but then hangs onto the lockscreen, show the empty battery and says connect charger. I can't unlock it so the only way of rebooting is to take out the battery and start it again.
I just don't get it. It can't be a faulty bootchip, I suppose it wouldn't boot at all then.
I already tried the steps above from meaple but this time I hadn't so much luck. In booting it again.
I'm getting a little desperate by now so any help would again be appreciated.

ps: I'm on a new rom the RCMixHD v3.6 which at first worked like a charm.

[Q] Please Help

My friend tried to flash a rom to his EVO 4g, everything went smooth, installation was a success. However prior to rebooting, he know gets stuck in a blank screen after the evo 4g screen goes away. Anyone ever get this problem ? is there any way to start from scratch?
Reboot the phone into recovery ( pull battery if it's in a bootloop, then restart phone by holding vol-down and pressing the power button)...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Reflash the ROM
Ps: what ROM is your friend trying to flash? Be sure it's a Rom developed for the evo (not calling you or your friend stupid...mistakes happen)
He was using salvage zin, I essential there watching like I prolly should have lol but he got impatient and downloaded the rom then went into recoverey wiped data and all the others and then flashed and then got stuck in a black screen and what do you know he's calling me saying I have a problem lol, I'm trying to drink not fix his phone man lol but now I feel bad, I'm a good listener if I'm giving instructions. I'm a nexus s user though so is new to evo by the way

Is there anyway to Odin back to stock ? Or perhaps himdell back?

If it's a black screen and then the phone boots, there's probably just something wrong the boot animation. If it won't boot then he might have a bad download.

[Q] Randomly bricked? Help please!

So I think my G2 just randomly bricked... I apologize in advance for the long post, trying to be as detailed as possible.
A little background info first:
I rooted my phone a few months ago using the gfree, adb, and s-off method and downloaded ROM manager to flash CWM recovery. I always do a full wipe through recovery before flashing a new ROM (data/cache, dalvik cache, then fixing permissions afterwards).
Recently I flashed Mexdroidmod V3 with no problems and played around with it for a few days. The only thing out of the ordinary that I experienced was random reboots, and rebooting after every titanium backup but I didn't think too much of it.
So today I decided to connect my phone to my computer and download a few new ROMs, namely senseless sense, and Insertcoin 1.5. I proceeded to eject the g2 from my mac and grabbed my phone to unmount the sd card.
The Problem: However, I never got to unmounting it because the phone had rebooted itself... over and over again. Yes, it went directly from ejecting my device into a bootloop. The phone would vibrate once, the HTC logo would come up, then it would shut itself off... after a few seconds it would turn on again, vibrate, HTC logo, then turn itself off again. It continued doing this until I pulled the battery or booted into bootloader.
So I held down the Vol down button until I got into bootloader so I could boot into recovery and restore from a backup. But once I clicked on "reboot into recovery," it would start the bootloop again
I'm totally confused, first on why this occurred in the first place, and why I can't get into recovery!
Again I apologize for the long post, just wanted to be as detailed as possible... thanks in advance for the responses!
EDIT: A few hours before this happened I also uninstalled SetCPU to use the built-in Cyanogenmod performance settings, I had my max CPU freq at 1Ghz on conservative governor, set on boot...
Do you have the eng-Hboot?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I don't think so, I thought that eng hboot wasn't recommended, according to the rooting wiki. I do see "HBoot" highlighted in blue in bootloader though.
So I've been searching around the guides, but still haven't found a solution yet. Anyone have any ideas? If I connect the phone to my computer in bootloader it shows Hboot usb or fastboot usb mode, but adb can't be used in fastboot can it?
Desperate right now haha
EDIT: I tried pressing vol up when turning on the device and something strange happens... the device vibrates three times, then the LED blinks red indefinitely. The phone itself is off and won't respond to any buttons, not even the power button. What exactly does this do?
No one has any idea how to fix this? This will be the last time I bump this up, thanks for reading.

[Q] Is my EVO Dead/Gone for good?

Hi Friends,
I did a lot of searching and tried a bunch of things, but I am not very successful. Can you experts please tell me if my EVO is dead/gone for good?
Symtoms:
My Evo was charging (it was rooted and S-Off), I took the charger cable off, and the phone rebooted.
It went to the White HTC Evo screen that comes before any ROM boots, and basically looped their infinitely.
Since then, the symptoms have switched back and forth from Bootloops on the white screen OR STUCK on the white screen, infinitely.
Currently, I am getting white screen boot loops
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared Storage (via Bootloader/Fastboot)
2. Chose "Recovery" from Bootloader/Fastboot (nothing happens, reboots and stuck on the white screen or loops)
3. Reverted back to S-ON
4. Flashed other Recovery zips
5. Upgraded the Fastboot version
6. Flashed the RUU
Current Situation:
Nothing changed guys... and after the RUU flash (out of which the Radio flash was the only component that FAILED) my PC31IMG.zip files are no longer being promoted for updates in my Fastboot/Bootloader menu.
While the reboots continue on the white screen...
Can't access Recovery
Can't run PC36IMG.zips anymore
Am I done here guys, or is there still anything I can do to save my EVO?
Appreciate ALL your help!
Man I have the same problem execept I'm not rooted or s off if you change the battery and let it sit for awhile off it will turn on but it will reboot in about 5 mintues then get stuck on the sprint 4g screen of the htc screen
Hey theneguy,
Thanks for your response... My phone was rooted, but is now S-On and Unrooted, I believe (I can't tell because I am not able to get in the OS).
I can't get into Recovery and my PC31IMG is not being read now...
Any ideas, friends?

same thing happened to my son, pulled sd card and it would boot fine, found and deleted a corrupt .img file on sd...all is fine
Latest Update guys:
I tried flashing the RUU via HBoot/Flashboot, and the update failed, but the progress bar at the screen was full/successful. The on-screen wizard tried to take me to the "Recovery" steps, nothing was fixed.
The computer wizard was stuck at: Sending Signature....
And the phone had the full progress bar from the previous flash.
So I yanked the battery out, cause I had no options left.
Well, needless to say, now, NOTHING turns on. The phone doesn't charge, and blah, blah, blah.
So guys, can someone give me a verdict... is my EVO done for good?
Thanks for your help.
I can't get in the recovery eather I tryed pulling the sd card out it is still doing the same thang

It should be PC36IMG not 31.

Thanks Mark,
But I don't think it matters anymore... I think with the battery pulled out after a failed RUU.exe installation has truly bricked my phone for good.
It doesn't charge, the battery was good, NOTHING lights up, and I just think it's game over...
