I Rooted an evo that kept having the restart issue with revolutionary. I was able to unroot it, but now the origional rom will not load. everytime i restart the phone it goes to the bootloader screen. I can choose fastboot, recovery , simlock, or restart i believe. I just want to get it to load the original rom. I never put any custom roms or anything on. cus it got stuck so i decided to unroot hoping it would fix but still stuck. Any suggestions?
so are you still s-on?

I fixed it and now an still booting to 4g screen and then rebooting it has to be a software issue but now i can atleast get insurance thanks
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...

I think you're right...
Friends evo just started doing this today - he didn't make any changes or do anything to the phone to cause this. It just keeps cycling through the sprint splash screen/start up sound over and over.
its not rooted/unlocked - it's stock from sprint
If i try going into recovery, i get the black and white htc evo screen. And then I get an icon of a green arrow with green arrows circling around it and after a few seconds i get a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it, which i assume is a bad thing.
Is there anything I can do to try and fix this?
and again - stock, not rooted/not unlocked - running whatever rom is current with sprint.
thanks
Same here except sometimes times it loads up into android but after a few minutes it starts rebooting again. I rooted the phone to see if that would fix it but still stuck in boot loop with it occassionaly loading into android.

I just fixed my friends phone by doing the following:
downloaded this RUU RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.exe
download htc sync
installed htc sync
uninstalled htc sync (keep the drivers).
press the power btn and the volume down button until you get into hboot - wait a few seconds for it to fully boot. Select fastboot. Plug your phone into your pc. Run the RUU - wait a few minutes for it to do it's thing and phone is working now.
not sure how this will work for you if your phone is rooted, as this was done on an unrooted phone.
Infinite boot loop
Stock Evo Infinite Boot Loop
I have been trying to fix my daughter's evo 4g from Sprint. Its at least 2 years old. She no longer uses it because it went into infinite boot loop. Itws not hooked up and is in no warranty.
I have done the hard factory reset. There is no issue with saqving anything on the phone. I have tried everything I could find so far in the forums. I may have missed some things. idk.
Ive wiped cache.
This is what I got in the info on the phone.

I tried using the ruu..

Still stuck in boot loop. But now it says in pink above supersonic...Locked..oow
Before when I was using recovery I got these messages..
CANT OPEN CACHE/RECOVER/COMMAND
WIPING DATE
CANT OPEN /DATA/CWPHG.ZIP
CANT OPEN /DATA/CWPROP
CANT OPEN CACHE//CWPKG
CANT OPEN cache/cw.prop
formatting cache
data wipe complete
This is completely stock. Never been rooted or changed in any way.
This is my daughter's exact message about problems she was having:
"it seems to me that it gets overheated sometimes. like it seems the battery is getting too hot. i dunno john had the problem with his evo one time but he took it and had sprint reset it which is pretty much the same thing you do yourself i think. his was fixed but mine wasnt.i didnt get sprint to reset it for me. i never dropped it or anything i dont know. i hope you can get it fixed though. i liked the phone when it was working good. it seems like it can go for awhile sometimes without rebooting and i could talk on it but as soon as i would hang up it would go into loop again.it was hot.i even tried making the screen darker so maybe it wouldnt get so hot."
Sorry not to be briefer. Please..anyone with suggestions?
Thanks
Possibly use odin to flash the stock image?

Been awhile since i did this. But search "revolutionary s-off". Do this to gain s-off. Download and flash "smelkus recovery" (find directions in post, search xda). Then try wiping everything and installing a room.
Might work, might not... but if not, that's a stylish paper weight
Riding the Uni on the GSIII
We my son was using my phone GS3 and pressed on to update. he thought it was a game update, but once it ran it boot then it will be stuck in the ATT logo. I kept tying to reset nothing it boots but once in att logo it stops. i also went in to clear the cach anf reset to factory and still no responds please help.....
Was the phone rooted? Does it have a custom recovery? These two things can cause an ota to fail.
So i did the update that was posted today, but after installing i'm now stuck in a bootloop. It pulls the white HTC logo but then restarts.
Trying to enter bootloader and it shows the small grey HTC logo, then restarts.
I've removed SIM and SD card (some have noted that this fixes the update), but still no dice.
Has anyone ever run in to this issue before?
Last problem i had was when the LAST update was hung up at 25% and i had to completely reflash with the RUU from HTC, but this time i can't even pull the bootloader to do that again. Now it won't even go past the grey logo to get to the bootloader.
Any help for this would be fantastic, as I'm basically ****ed without a phone right now...
