Sprint Evo 4g Supersonic will not load my boot screen. Im not sure what is going on I do know that one of my phones is stock and the other is a rooted phone. What the hell is going on. Im not a noob to root FYI. I build gaming rigs and other computer related issues I can solve fairly easy. However, this is getting under my skin because I want to UNROOT so i can activate service on the one phone and then Root it again back to where I had it. The other phone that is Stock RUU sprint is having the same issue. For the love of God I just want to be able to unlock my stock and root! Awaiting a sound answer to my question and I do hope I posted this in the right catagory of the forums because I saw nothing of this issue for Supersonic RUU EVO 4G. Thanks!
So holding power and volume down at startup doesnt bring up the bootloader screen correct?
I know this may sound obvious, but power off the phone, pull out the battery, put it back in, then try again.
Did you make sure that Fastboot was disabled in your phone's Settings? Cuz that will keep it from booting into your bootloader

You don't need to unroot to activate a phone.
Thanks for the suggestions I already had it off fastboot and I took the battery out and swapped with another one and it worked fine after. Its been a while since I messed with my phones technically.

Captain,
other then the obvious "thanks" Sprint is the one that messed my rooted phones network when changing phone numbers. if I remember correctly its stuck on "Hands Free Activation" continually having the icon circle and "contacting the network" times out and I get code 1012. I can cancel this and use the phone just no service. I went back to a stock rom to do this in order to add a line and switch numbers on both evo 4g supersonics. the rooted failed connection and sprint stock is now my phone. I am going to root this one since it has hboot 2.16 but I have to downgrade windows 8 to 7 ultimate first. NOTHING is compatible with that OS... yet anyways. I will check out your methods as well. I was looking for a forum that would be able to explaine how to activate a rooted phone. Ill get back to you if I have an issue! Thanks

Capt. Throwback,
If you wouldn't mind please email me specifically how to bring my phone in. Unless OTA ROOT APP works I need to know in order to restore the phone to its line. In forum mail is ok to reach me at. Thanks.

I have the same problem with being unable to bring up the Bootloader Screen.
So I tried to follow your advice, but I don't see how to disable Fastboot.
I don't know how it was enabled in the first place. I certainly was smart enough to do it.
I went to 'Settings' but see nothing related to Fastboot. Where can it be found?
If this is a common problem, wouldn't it be a good idea to address it in the instructions?

Usually, it is in menu/settings/apps depending on what rom you are on.
I'm on Decks Reloaded and I think it is disabled by default, therefore, no option to enable it.

Ok here is what I have going on. I noticed last night that my volume down button wasnt working anymore. And I know that I have to have a completly un-rooted phone to turn it back in while under warrenty. If you havnt figured it out already, hereis the problem.
I downloaded the un-root and with the rom I have, when I go to reboot it actually gives me the option to reboot into recovery. Well with my volume down button not working, i cant get down to do anything. Is there anyway I can get un-rooted so I can get my phone turned back in?? Any help would be great,thanks!
I don't have an EVO LOL so I have no idea if this will help but maybe try and use the up button and cycle through it all backwards. Just a thought. Haven't had a HTC phone since my DInc so hope that helps
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yea I tried that(first thing) lol, but it wouldnt cycle thru backwards.
Might try to find that official 3.29 ruu. It's an exe you run on your desktop that should put everything back to stock including the newest update, don't quote me on that but I think I lost root when I ran that, of course I was able to quickly root again height unrevoked.
It even flashes back to stock recovery, I think.

Hi! I just rooted and installed CM7 (stable) onto the Incredible. I tried activating the phone via the onscreen activate button and also by dialing #228, but after it says its been "activated" and to wait for at least 15 minutes to go into effect, it still isn't activated. then when i try to use the phone it tells me something BS about connecting to an operator to make a collect call.
i THINK i need to manually program and activate the phone, but i'm not getting an clear instructions on how to do it properly. can anyone here help me with this please? thanks for your time. cheers...
I would go back to the stock Rom to activate.

Reboot the phone and try again. Press *228 on the dial pad, then option 1 to reprogram and enable 3G. Although it says it takes 15 minutes, it should work instantaneously. At least, this method worked for me. Good luck.

if i go back to the stock rom and activate it (assuming it worked), what happens when i flash CM7 back onto the phone? does it still retain its activation? or will the "activated status" go away because i wiped the data/dalvik/cache?
Activation shouldn't go away unless you deactivate the phone through verizon. I've flashed different ROMs and I don't have to reactivate my phone.
cool. i'll figure out how to revert back to stock tonight. i hope there's a "how to". thanks.
Download this:
http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/bui...and-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip
Rename it so it's just "PB31IMG.zip" (make sure your file extensions are un-hidden, so you don't inadvertently name it to "PB31IMG.zip.zip"), and make sure your SD card is FAT32.
Now boot into HBoot, and it should detect the file automatically after a few seconds and ask if you would like to apply the update. Press Vol-Up for Yes. Let it flash.
awesome. thanks! i'll give it shot tonight when i leave work.
still no dice
well... tonight i installed the stock image. i'm still getting the "please hold while we transfer your call to an external operator" after activating (whether it be via online or *228). i noticed that there wasn't even an option to activate via on-screen after installing the stock software, with the CM7 ROM it would show an activate button after rebooting.
a few minutes ago i just reflashed S-ON and reflashed the stock image. it's still doing the same thing. something is up with the phone i guess. beyond my know-how and capabilities. the main reason i put S-ON back is so the phone can be sent back to Verizon. i'm thinking its gotta be a hardware issue if i've done everything you guys have suggested.
thanks anyways, guys. its not my phone, but a friend that i was trying to do this for. makes me glad i'm with another carrier where instead of activating, i just need my SIM card. hopefully i'll have better luck with the replacement they send.
Has he talked to Verizon about the problem? A similar thing happened to me with a phone that's ESN wasn't clear (ebay - ended up getting refunded). The phone wasn't reported lost/stolen or anything?
the hasn't been reported lost/stolen. and the phone has been with the original owner.
i have the droid incredible 2 and i bricked it
i can turn it on and the white screen with the green htc lettering comes up and then it just plays the cyanogenmod 7 load screen in a loop, please help me out, if you can provide dumbed down instructions that would be great
edit: UNBRICKED IT WOOT
edit 2: however now when i try to activate it i cant enter the 4 digit pass code because there are no dial keys while making a call, so i still need help :/
You should be able to long press the settings key and that normally brings it up.
yea i got it activated thanks, i was wondering, is it possible to get it back to htc sense, also i dont know how to get the google app store onto my phone

If you backed up before you flashed cm7, then you can just restore your backup. Otherwise, you'd have to flash an ruu and lose stuff... Or there's always andyBONESTOCK.

That's what I would suggest. Also I have only seen one true brick in my experience, and I've rooted close to a dozen different android phones between my own and friends.
After I rooted my friends galaxy s, I told him to wait before he installs any roms since there were multiple carriers with that phone. He installed a rom later that night that was for another carrier. Obviously the phone would not work properly. So I gave him the instructions on how to fix it (go back to completely stock since he didn't make a backup). while flash through Odin (I think that's what it was, well whatever correct program is called) the usb cord came unplugged half way through the flash.
He had a true brick. After that it wouldn't even power up. It was nothing more than a paperweight, or in this case, a brick.

What happens after you do a battery pull? Try that leave it out for a few seconds and see if it turns itself on again, essentially it shouldn't be able to unless your hardware button is stuck/sticky.
Is your phone insured ?
If you are on a custom rom it could be a bad download. Check the MD5 checksums and verify that your download was legitimate. Other than that. If you ARE NOT rooted, I suggest you read MULTIPLE tutorials and root your phone in addition to adding a custom ROM.
May I suggest Juggernaut V5.0. Or if you like ICS I suggest Blackedition or NexusMod
Best of luck

he means that the power button might be stuck. try booting into recovery, and if your phone automatically selects reboot, you know your power button is stuck.
that's somewhere to start.

Give this a go... Back up your device beforehand.
Download Samsung Kies. Put you phone into download mode. Open Kies, and under "Tools" menu, select "Emergency firmware recovery". This will completely restore your device to stock. If you still have issues afterward, its a hardware problem.
Edit: You WILL lose root with this method. But you'll also get a definitive answer...
Unroot it and install stock

Try a simple sim pull if you haven't already. Often times if you are stuck on 3g, a sim pull will enable LTE when you reboot the phone. on Verizon.

Hey Matt, I wonder if you can help me out. I flashed the GPE rom, it was working fine until i decided to edit the build prop. I changed the density value from 480 to 320. It worked but it was too tiny. Then i would readjust the value to 400 but upon restart the value wouldnt change. So i tried changing it back to 480 and saved it and directly went to reboot, not my phone refuses to load up. When i hold power and volume up the HTC logo screen comes up and then it turns back off, I cannot get into bootloader by pressing volume down and power. I am stumped. If you can assist me, id be sure to tip you some BTC your way.

I have an issue similar to this.
Phone gets to the HTC powered by android screen and then dies. I cannot access bootloader using vol down and power. It won't respond.
S-Off, unlocked boot loader.
Phone also periodically turns on by itself, then procedes to shut down after it gets to the HTC Powered by android splash screen.
EDIT:
Managed to get into recovery using the advice in this post:
Tikerz said:
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.

That's no problem and could happen to all of us. But some pointers from my point of view :
When i look at your O.P you give the tendency to look like a non profit company/organization which indeed offers a free service, that's all fine but please give the users the hint when it will be "offline" when you are on holiday or at least "offline" without a reason to stop the reactions users like me posted before. It looks like a 24 hour service promise which is not there.
I have been a helpful member on the hox section of xda the last 2 years and never had the need of such a thread/service. I think it won't make that major difference because users will always make new threads with their problems anyway.
This is not ment in a bad way, just my personal opinion !
Cheers.
