[Q] HTC Evo 4G not turning on or goin to recovery - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an OG evo. when its off the orange light doesn't come on saying its charging. it wont go to the recovery. it wont turn on. is there anything that i could do?

I'd start with trying a different battery if you haven't already.

Makes me think the USB port is busted, if the phone isn't bricked. As stated above, try another battery.
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand

well i changed the battery and still nothing. i cant even fastboot flash a rom or recovery on it using my phone. i really think i bricked it. i have never bricked a phone so i really dont kno if i really did or not.

Usually the easiest answer is the correct one.
What did you do right before it started faulting?
Are you sure both batteries had a charge at all?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

i dont remember what i did right before it faulted but i do kno neither of the batteries r charging.

Did either battery have a charge on them prior to putting them in the phone, or did you just try and charge them in the phone?
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand

the batteries charge just fine in another phone. when i try to turn the phone on it will go to the white screen with HTC evo 4g on it and then it will go black and show the same white screen again. it keeps doin that until i pull the battery.

Can you get into the bootloader by pressing volume down + power? If so, try to boot into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik. Then reboot. You might also try a different ROM.

Try installing a new recovery thru the bootloader before you try flashing any ROM's. If you can successfully install a new recovery, see if you can get into recovery mode from the bootloader.

Bricked or not bricked?

I had an issue with my phone a couple of weeks ago where I'm only able to the bootloader screen and the fastboot screen. Fortunately, I got a replacement EVO 3 days later but I'm still trying to get my old phone up and running. But after trying everything I can find, still nothing.
So my question is, when do I say that the phone is officially bricked?

If you can get to the bootloader screen, then you be able to flash an image to get you phone working again.

Believe me, I've tried everything, from using amon ra PC36IMG.zip in the bootloader. It updates successfully then still no recovery.
I've tried the ruu via bootloader, it updates successfully. It still bootloops continually.
I ran Football's recent 4.54 ruu in fastboot successfully and still nothing.
Everything I try, it continues to bootloop.

Were you using CM7 before your phone started bootlooping?

Well CM7 is the ROM typically being run when phones enter the bootloop of death. However, I've heard that there have been a couple of MIUI ROMs that have entered the bootloop of death as well. If you've flash a recovery and still cant enter it and tried to fully unroot then you might have to take it to Sprint. I'd make sure that you're fully unrooted before doing so. I would also recommend removing your SD card so that they cant try to deny you based on rooting the phone. Just a precaution.

Fortunately, I already got a new phone but the reason I didn't take it into Sprint was because it still was S-off. Since I can't get to recovery, how would I get s-on?
And now that I ran stock ruu's, is it a possibility that the PC36IMG.zip's won't be recognized anymore?
I'd love to get this phone running again and let my 7 year play some games on it but I'm afraid I may be sol!!

Well you said you tried flashing via PC36IMG, and it 'worked' but it didn't stick, i.e it didn't 'work'. What you can do is extract the boot.img from the rom / ruu, place it in your adb tools folder. Then boot the phone to the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to your pc via usb cable, open up command prompt, navigate to you adb tools folder and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That will flash the boot image to the correct partition, then reboot the phone, and see if it boots up.

No problem.
And if the NV is corrupted, its toast. It was a flaw with the evo when you bought it, and now its decide to tap out. At that point you'd have to take it to sprint, as the NV is part of flash memory and its locked.

I know someone posted the EVO Brick_fix, I believe cutthroat but since no PC36IMG.ZIP is being recognized on my sdcard. I may officially say my phone is toast.

Did you unbrick your EVO
I tried to use unbrick method and now phone will not boot at all
It just stays at black screen and vibrates once after pressing the power button

[Q] Can't boot into recovery! Has the method changed?

Just rooted my moms evo and tried to boot into recovery holding vol down and then the power button. Was able to boot into it using quick boot so i downloaded a rom, it got stuck on the HTC screen and now we cant get into the recovery. Has the method changed?
Okay, i decided to try something on my wife's evo. I disabled fastboot in the settings and tried to boot into recovery. I went straight to it. Is there something about fastboot that wont allow you to boot into recovery? My moms on the road and I'm trying to get her to recovery to do a restore.
Yes, if you have fastboot enabled, it will NOT boot into recovery; you need to disabled fastboot first.
The thing is, her phone is stuck on the white HTC screen and wont boot up at all. Is there anyway to get into the phone to disable fastboot? Any help would be appreciated.

Major problems! Phone completely bricked nothing is fixing! Please help

I pulled my phone out of my pocket it and saw that it was on the HTC boot screen. It stayed like the for a while so i shut it down using Power, Volume UP&Down.
I tried to boot again but was freezing at the HTC boot screen.
I booted into recovery and it said it couldnt load /cach/x (command and log and last_log)
Ive tried everything from flashing RUU to new HBOOTS, nothing is working.
Now my laptop keeps saying a USB port is malfunctioning everytime i plug the phone in.
Im two seconds away from smashing this with a sledgehammer.
I was running Aeroevan's Unofficial CM10 Jelly Bean With the v12 Kernel w/ Video Drivers.

The only issue now is I only have FastBoot Support but no ADB support. I have no idea why but my phone only shows up under fastboot devices and not adb devices. so i have no idea how to use that guide
The Inc 2 ports often go bad. Try wiggling and plugging it in not all the way. Also sometimes had to push on the cable and hold for it to recognize the USB.

If your phone can be used via fastboot it should be able to via adb. Like CS said, It might be a bad micro-usb slot. I would try wiggling it to see if that helps. Being able to access fastboot means its not bricked, it just might be a hardware failure.

If your phone isn't booting past HTC screen it won't usually show up as an adb device.
Are you s-off?
Have you tried the return to stock that I posted?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767
This does not change hboot version so you shouldn't get that error but will put un-rooted stock and stock recovery back on your phone. Then you can install custom recovery, flash su bins and be ready to go again...... hopefully

evo 4G HELP NEEDED.???

hello to all
i just got a htc evo 4G hboot=2.160001 radio=2.15.00.0808 and hardwared=0004
there is out dated info out there.don't want to brick phone . can somebody please point me in the right direction as to what file to use to root this phone and what recovery to use along with the right supper user file. and what GB rom is recommended. thanks a million.
Use http://revolutionary.io to root your phone and gain s-off. ClockworkMod recovery is installed by default when you run Revolutionary. You're better off installing a Amon Ra based recovery. Personally, when I had my OG EVO, I preferred to use Smelkus, which is Amon Ra based. As far as ROM's, well, that's pretty subjective. What works for one user may not work for another. Just keep in mind that Gingerbread ROM's are the most functional, as ICS and JB ROM's don't have working 4G or front-facing cameras.

Make sure that USB Debugging is on, and Fastboot is turned off. Make sure you don't have HTC Sync installed on your PC-if you do, remove it. Also, make sure any anti-virus software on your PC is turned off. Make sure your phone is booted up (not in bootloader) and set to 'charge only'.

[Q] Is this phone bricked?

I received an Incredible 2,
*****RELOCKED*******
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT -0.98.0000
Radio- 1.09.01.0312
eMMC-boot
Jul 18 2011
All that it does is get stuck at the HTC screen.
Things that I have tried.
New Ruus
PG32IMG
The phone is recognized in fastboot,
ADB does not recognize the phone.
I have been going through the forum, and websites for the last 4 hours.
Factory Reset reboots the phone and gives me a security warning.
Recovery does the same.
I also get the USB Not recognized error once the phone comes on. I have installed the HTC drivers, I have also installed HTC Sync and have removed it.
Am I stressing and overlooking something simple? Or, do I need to take this phone out back and lay it to rest.
Thank you in advance
Crush
I don't own this phone but how did this happen? I'm assuming your rooted and unlocked if you got s recovery and stuff. And if your recovery works.. just Mount your SD card and transfer a ROM from your PC and flash one.. make sure you flash the kernel too. That or run the ruu

I was given this phone because because it is stuck in the bootloop. Phones come with their own recovery, this isn't a custom recovery. I have tried to run ruus, the error I get is Main version is older. I have also downloaded official stock roms with no luck.
When I hit recovery, the phone reboots back to the bootloader, the recovery never comes up.

Ohh so someone messed it up and just gave it to you for free? Or for you to repair? Either way I don't follow the droid inc2 but maybe im sure its rooted if its in a boot loop so try going into fast boot and go into cmd prompt and try to install a recovery. Look up how to install a recovery through CmD Prompt on the Pc. On my phone can't explain all of it. And then just transfer over a ROM probably cm9 and follow the instructions
Unless you want to go back to stock? Not sure if you know about ROMs and kernels?

Thats exactly what happened, it was given to me to me in this condition, and if I can fix it I will get paid for doing so.
Yes, I am familiar with roms, and kernels, I currently use an Evo 4g with Swagged out Stock X 2.0.9.8
Ive also rooted and flash cm7 on plenty of phones, I even have cm7 on my HP Touchpad.
I can't for the life of me figure this out. It has me highly intrigued. I am known for stressing out and overlooking minor small steps, so I wanted get some input from the community.
I currently have fastboot open, I am not entirely familiar with the Incredible 2, but normal case S-on = none rooted from my experience.
it was devunlocked then relocked i believe, from the error message i believe you are not flashing the right ruu, you are trying to flash an older one, you need the newest one, it was released a few months ago if i recall correctly and it was no big update but thats the one you need, search for it and try it it should work. if you are s on you cant flash a older ruu than whats already on it

Thats exactly what happened, it was given to me to me in this condition, and if I can fix it I will get paid for doing so.
Yes, I am familiar with roms, and kernels, I currently use an Evo 4g with Swagged out Stock X 2.0.9.8
Ive also rooted and flash cm7 on plenty of phones, I even have cm7 on my HP Touchpad.
I can't for the life of me figure this out. It has me highly intrigued. I am known for stressing out and overlooking minor small steps, so I wanted get some input from the community.
I currently have fastboot open, I am not entirely familiar with the Incredible 2, but normal case S-on = none rooted from my experience.

Hboot 98 is compatible with revolutionary root method. I would start there, rooting and s-off with a stock rooted Rom...

Your radio is .0312, so you won't be able to flash an RUU, they're all older. Can you recognize it in fastboot mode? Try unlocking again with HTCdev, then flashing a custom recovery and ROM.

Hboot .98 isn't compatible with revolutionary, only .97 is, but that doesn't make a difference anyways because you can't run revolutionary if you can't boot the phone.

OMG..... As usual... I have been overlooking the obvious path to glory. Thank you. I think I can handle it form here.
That literally took me like 2 minutes.

Are there any roms that you recommend that run smooth on the INC2?

I would proceed with s-off because it's so much better than htcdev unlock.
