Boot screen rooting problem - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is the first time I have ever flashed a Rom, It loaded successfully but when it rebooted it took me back to the stock boot screen with the three skating android dudes and every time I reboot it keeps going back to that... PLEASE help. Flashed Shooter 3.0 v2

Never heard of it booting back to the bootloader before. What HBOOT version are you currently on? What recovery are you using? Sounds like a bad download, or you didn't wipe everything like you were supposed to prior to flashing the new ROM.

HBOOT is 2.18 and recovery is amon ra 2.3 I believe. I did wipe and tried again and again but wouldnt work so tried a different rom and now is working. Maybe just file? Would really like that shooter rom but... You suggest another rom?

Per forum rules, I'm not going to suggest any particular ROM. Just start flashing and figure out which one works best for you

Any ideas?

Recovery work perfectly fine, let me try flashing some other rom.
Also, because this might be a bad radio flash, can reflashing radio hurt?

Could you give more information so I could be of help. Like what Rom, kernel, recovery anything specific...

I recommend you flash the previous version and then do a full wipe....next, flash a rom...then when that boots you can go back into recovery again and restore a nandroid if you would like....

Using Clockwork 2.5.1 (?, flashing right now) so I can't check.
Was on MYN RLS4. Flashed the bundled radio zip linked above, now in this situation. Currently, I'm flashing to RLS5 after a ADB push of the zip file. Edit: Was on BS#6 Kernel
If this doesn't work, I'll flash a deodexed stock 3.70.
Any more recommendations?
edit: Looks like I got past the HTC Evo 4G screen, just waiting for the MYN boot animation now.
edit2: I booted up, thanks for the help. At least I can rest knowing that my radio flash wasn't borked.

What happened after you flash the radio? Be specific..

Ive had the same problem today on two different evos, with two different recoveries! Both times I just booted into recovery and ran a full nandroid backup, then restarted and it stuck in white screen.
First was with amon_ra recovery. I pulled the battery after it stuck on white screen and it rebooted fine.
Second time was with clockwork. I just now pulled the battery and rebooted..... and it looks to be sticking again.
Both are running Fresh Rom. v3.5.01 I think.
Do you have the SDK installed and a usb cable? Hook up the evo, then do: "adb logcat", power on, and post the output. Note: it sounds like it is looping so watch carefully and when you see it looping hit "crtl+c" to stop logcat.
Do this! download this to you sd card http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY than boot into bottloader, let the phone search for the file update and this should get you up and running. The problem doing what you did is that that works when a different kernel not htc kernel.
good lookin out

What's the purpose of doing this? Just like a RUU, right?
yes! But this should give you all that you are looking for, is much easier.trust me!
You will not Loose Root.
You lucky son of a gun, my old evo wouldn't even not into recovery. Just bootloader. After stressing out for hours trying to fix it I finally got a replacement
The same thing happened to me and your link worked like a charm. I was just wondering if after I did this would I still be able to try and flash a different rom? or am I stuck with this one? I am just wondering....as you can see Im pretty new to the rooting game.
Basically, if you update your radios, you have to also update your rom to 3.70 build otherwise the phone won't get pass the bootanimation screen. Normally, you would update the rom then update the radios. Also, to nandroid or flash back to 3.30 build, you have to downgrade the radios back to the version used for 3.30. I was stuck on bootloop with new radios if I flashed any rom below 3.70, but downgrading the radios to previous version allowed for 3.30 nandroid restores.
Ok thank you a bunch for the info!! you were a life saver lol
Same Questions
Ok so I did what you said above and loaded that file onto sd card and went into bootloader if worked and i managed to get into recovery and flashed fresh and got the phone booted all way but I want Warm two point two so i flashed that version 4 and it wont go past the white HTC screen what can I do

Please do not start new threads when people are trying to help you. Wait patiently for an answer before starting a new one. You have started 4 threads already about rooting your phone and the problems you have. Invest some time in reading, learning and understanding the wikis. Thank you.
Sorry. I'm just paniking for the fact my phone is stuck on the boot screen and I'm jusst trying to get help asap. And actually the other thread was about if my phone was rooted so this thread is on another topic.
Are you still able to boot into recovery? And if so, what is displayed in your screen?
So I took the battery out, put it back in.. held power and the volume button it took me to where it says s-off n did a system recover. It worked!!! Haha... now I wanna try again but can u tell me what I did wrong??? I downloaded the cyanogen 6.1.1 and just started it up with the google stuff. It rebooted did its thing n stayed at the boot screen... am I supposed to clear something?? I read somethin like that when I was on google with my gfs phone. (I'm out somewhere... made me panik more since I don't have access to a computer atm)

Which version of ClockworkMod are you using?
Since you trie to flash a CM6.1. rom (which is froyo, android 2.2 based) you must use a ClockworkMod 2.5.x or below (or compatible).
And did you install Engineering HBoot? Sorry for asking, but it's unclear to me what you exactly have been doing already.
I did the visionary/gfree root last night without the hboot. And I tried the cyanogen 6.1.1 which was suggested by another user on here in one of my threads.

Btw my clockworkmod says 3.0.0.5
Whatever version that was on the market is the one I downloaded.

Apart from the fact that it seems to me that you skipped a step (hboot), which you have to perform , you are also trying to flash a 2.2 rom with the wrong recovery. Try with the 2.5 version in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898151

First of all, flashing the engineering HBOOT is not required unless you want to use fastboot on your computer. Also, if you used ROM Manager to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, that version is supposed to support both 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs. It was only the beta version of the recovery that was on this forum that only supported 2.3 and not 2.2---unfortunately, it was also labeled 3.0.0.5 and caused lots of confusion).
As far as why you are stuck at the boot screen, did you wipe data/cache when you flashed the ROM? Whenever you switch to a completely different ROM (as opposed to simply upgrading one), it's a good practice to. Also, the first time you start a new ROM, it'll take longer to boot up since the phone will be rebuilding its dalvik-cache (on CM6.1, it's be at a CM animation).
Ahh yeahhh okay good. So u cleared it all up for me n now my phone is running great

No, because its for the 3D. Another user tried flashing it and it just doesn't flash; luckily it didn't brick his phone.

What he's saying is that the ROM you linked to is for the EVO 3D, not the regular EVO. Make sure that you are attempting to flash an EVO ROM and if you still have problems then please post a description of exactly what happens when you try to flash a gb ROM.

What recovery are you using? I would suggest you install AmonRa 2.3, if you are already using it reinstall it from a fresh download. Next wipe everything except your SD, wipe system, wipe boot, sdext, ect...

I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence and I understand the issue you are trying to resolve. If I recall correctly it is caused by the boot partition not being wiped. This does not cause an issue when switching from 2.2 rom to 2.2 rom because kernels are specific to the version of android (and sometimes other system elements such as sense / asop). And again, if I recall correctly, the "wipe all" command on many older recoveries did not wipe the boot partition, or wipe it completely so when you go to boot your 2.3 system with a 2.2 kernel it doesn't work and you get a boot loop. Hence my question & suggestion. Best of luck finding a fix.
please update your radio to one of the ones that came with gingerbread and try again..remember the safer way to update radios is through bootloader and not recovery...and remember the phone will reboot during the update, do not touch the phone until it reboots a second time or you may brick it..
Okay here is what I did to get GB, on my (evo tester phone)
1) booted the evo into recovery
2) factory reset 2x
3) ran VR_SUPERWIPE 2x
4) then I ran, SNS SUPER WIPE 2x, still could not run 2.3 GB at all!!, trying all kind of things for a little over a week.
5) Went through my files, found an old RUU. (RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.71_003_release_147044_signed) THIS IS THE ON YOU HAVE TO PLUG THE EVO INTO THE COMPUTER TO RUN.
6) Booted the evo into bootloader, then ran the RUU.
7) REBOOTED PHONE,… okay looks like stock,
8) Rebooted to bootloader s-off, is now s-on…. Dayum
9) I said F**K IT… repeated steps 1-3, then ran (deo_4.54.651.1)
10) This is the same rom I tried to install all week, now it install, verified, the version, guess what. 2.3.3.. wtf
11) I then installed, GW (signed_Team-Nocturnal_Stock_RLS.02).. (it also restored my custom splash screen)
12) IT INSTALLED NO PROBLEM… WTF…
13) STILL WITH SUPER USER PRIVIELGES
14) How is this possible with s-on
Like ca1ne said. I am 99% sure your issue is outdated radios. Update those then flash a gingerbread Rom, preferably one based on the ota 4.54.

[Q]droid gtr rom v1.0 not booting

Ok so I flashed it the first time and it was successful but noticed market was not opening so I flash the latest gapps for cyonogen mod and then everthing fc so wiped and flash and now it won't even boot it gets stuck on splash screen. Is it cause of SD card is on ext 4 or is it smellkus recovery or what?? Any help is much appreciative
Try wiping cache and dalvik then fix permissions in recovery.
Did you flash the correct ROM for your specific phone model and carrier? I had the the problem of flashing a T-Mobile ROM for my GS2 a while back, due to my excitement about using an ICS rom.

no its for the evo its under evo general development it was just released
Can you boot into recovery? If so, I think your best bet is to restore a backup, delete the faulty ROM, and try reinstalling it if you want that specific ROM badly enough. That has worked for me a few times.

Yes I could go into recovery and I actually fixed the issue. I'm guessing it was the recovery itself that I was using because now I flashed Among RA recovery and now is booted and working fine. A great Tom overall. Thanks guys for your help

Not to bother anyone, but I was trying to run the droid GTRv2.0 ROM on my EVO 4G and it wont get past the first screen.

Need help please?!?!

Hello everyone, I am new to XDA but I have a ongoing problem with my HTC Evo 4G, I'm rooted on my phone but every single time I try to download a ROM it never seems to get passed the start screen. I've tried to unroot but it never ever works for me it still shows the room. I've tried to remove the ROM that never works either. Any ideas? I've tried to unroot and remove the ROM but nothing seems to work. I have SOS 2.0.9 by the way. I tried to factory data reset my phone and remove everything off the SD card but it still seems to be there.
When you flash a rom, are you wiping the system? What recovery are you using? You should use twrp; as cwm sucks on the evo.

What method did you use to root your phone and what recovery are you using? If you don't wipe things like Dalvik cache and data when you flash a new ROM you're just setting yourself up for failure.
Sent using my EVO 4G and a magic wand
I'm using clockworkmod for it. I wipe it and back it up whenever I use a new ROM because I know it will end up not working so I have to reset it. I don't know what twrp is by the way. I don't remember the method because I rooted my phone in 2010 the day I got my phone. I use ROM Manager to download all my ROMs
Stay away from ROM Manager and do everything from recovery. TWRP is Team Win Recovery Project, one of the better recoveries for the EVO. Use it or Smelkus and ditch ClockworkMod, as it is known to cause issues on the OG EVO. Do a search in the Development section for either of those recoveries, install and don't look back.

I can't use the PC36IMG.zip because the link doesn't work. But when I went to find it I downloaded it, it said checking and that's it. I went into recovery and I still have ClockwordMOD
For my HBOOT screen it show's

HBOOT- 2.10.0001
MICROP- 041f

I know there is HBOOT 2.18. But I honestly do not know how to update my HBOOT
