Pull the battery. Put the battery in. Hold the volume down button and hit power on, which will take you to recovery. Do a wipe data/factory reset and reboot.

I did it but work the fisrt time and get bad again and dont work,any solution?

What? Reflash the rom.

That's my suggestion too. Get into recovery, do another wipe, (factory, cache, dalvik) then reflash the ROM.

Ok Sir I will do it but Can you give a link with the Reflash.

Re: HTC EVO 4G Keep RestartingArrow
I had this same problem and it was driving my nuts, i had the phone exchanged and it still kept happening. after troubleshooting apps and blaming roms, I found the problem, it was the case, I don't know why but sense i removed the rubber protective case the problem went away.
I hope that helps

[ROM][11/09/2010] Desire Z Sense on the G2 via HBOOT (r2)

This is an hboot flashable version of the Desire-Z ROM built for the G2. If you're rooted and know what you're doing with hboot, read on. To install, rename the download to PC10IMG.zip and place it at the root of your sdcard, then reboot into hboot. It'll flash ONLY SYSTEM and BOOT. I'll post more details shortly but everything I am testing works. Sorry for the crappy picture, I am frantically typing to make things happen.
http://twitgoo.com/1qjp6v
Quick overview (this is way below my normal release quality but I've not had much time and am rushing a bit):
Pre-rooted with Superuser from ChainsDD.
Busybox installed in /system/xbin.
Removed apps to allow the ROM to fit on the G2:
AdobeReader.apk
amazonmp3.apk
FlashLitePlugin.apk
FlashLitePlugin.odex
install_flash_player.apk
Maps.apk
Quickoffice.apk
SoundHound_Freemium_2.1.2b.apk
Stock.apk
Stock.odex
teeter.apk
teeter.odex
YouTube.apk
Most of these apps can be installed from the Market. Everything else is completely stock as it exists on the Desire-Z.
THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR JOE AVERAGE USER. PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HBOOT FLASHING THEN STEER CLEAR UNTIL WE HAVE A FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY.
LINKS PULLED AS THIS ROM IS NOW OBSOLETE. Visit the following thread instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042
Enjoy!

FIRST i hope.....
downloading and flashing now

Would i be able to root it after flashing it with the current g2 method ?

Bring virtuous to the g2 please

yay... this is all I wanted
also thank you!!!

Thanks for this i'm downloading now

Absolutely awesome. Thanks so much for this.

So if we're already rooted should we just install visionary to get root first then lock it in?

This is going to be fun...

nice job, but damn work. i just got home and was planning on doing this, so u beat me to it ...
did u modify system so it would fit on g2 partition?

That's exactly what I did. Uploading another version now which has less removed and is pre-rooted.

rmk....Ive been following what youve been saying about the rom on irc since sense 2.0 on my g2 is all i wanted.
could you possibly post a "change log" which would just list things that youve removed from the rom that people might want to know (search app, etc).
Also, is the rom working as fast as the g2 worked or is it like when we first put sense on the g1?
Third to last question, in case something goes wrong with installation or if I want to go back to the vanilla, is there a rom I can flash to go back to vanilla or am I stuck with desire z rom until someone makes one? Also do we have to clear data/cache like we normally do before flashing another rom or what?
second to last question, by installing in hboot, you mean rebooting into hboot then going into recovery to install or what do you mean?
Last question, are the keys mapped correctly or are they desire keys?
Please answer these questions, I want to make sure I know what I am getting into before I plunge. Thanks for all the work!!
P.S - sorry for all the questions.

I dont like senes but like learning. I thought the z and vision had the same chip? So shoukdnt it had fit in the nand? Also eont the pc10img flash a lock down hboot? Or you swapped it out and having s-off means it doesnt look for a sign?

Yeah of course, it's completely different software. Rule of thumb= similar software(plain froyo->plain froyo), no wipe; different software(sense -> stock, stock -> 2.3, etc), wipe

Very cool, glad to see somebody putting a better firmware on the G2. Hope to see rooted version soon.

That's what I suggested. You also suggested the added step of unrooting and rooting again though I think that's completely unnecessary and would be a huge PITB just to get the calendar back. There's no need to throw unrooting into the mix. He should just flash the (rooted) stock ROM.

Actually he didn't mention if he flashed a custom recovery or not so he might have to run RUU if he can't flash the stock ROM. I didn't think about that.

You can't just install calendar.apk because its a system app.
You would have to push it to /system/app then run fix permissions.
Flashing the stock ROM through recovery would be easiest.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Assuming it's a sense rom, I would just download any sense rom, then push it via adb to the /system/app folder, chmod 0744 {filename.ext}. Done.
If it's AOSP, then same instructions, but grab an AOSP rom.

I would just reflash the rom you flashed originally. Wipe Dalvik/Cache and you should be good to go.

Ok, it's been a while since I rooted, but, when I did you had some form of a development rom and had to flash a different one right away. There were several "stock roms" to choose from.
It may be different now, so maybe I'm wrong. If so, get over it.

evo 4g lte is fried, so i brought out an evo 4g out of retirement. must have popped in the wrong sd card (can't find the other one and have no idea what's on it regardless).
rebooted the bootloader and apparently flashed an unknown pcimg zip. now i have no idea what hboot or anything ese was attempted t be put on here. i was getting just the white htc evo 4g screen. then got it to eventually go to the light grayish screen w the big yellow 4G screen. now i'm getting either a blank black screen or a pop up that reads: Sorry! Process System is not responding.
and just now got it to go back to the big yellow 4G.
any ideas on what to do assuming i have nothing from when the phone was in operation? (in other words, i'm assuming the worst case scenario, like i have no nandroid backups, RUU, etc. at my fingertips.)
please help.

and now i'm at the lock screen which reads:
no service
correct time
correct date
and it will not move.

Just download any sense ROM.
Try the latest rooted stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516892
Basic steps:
Download it (either odex or deodex doesn't matter)
Check md5
Put it somewhere on your SD card that's easy to find (any directory will do, but you don't want to have to hunt around for it all day in recovery)
Make a nandroid (well, at least normally you would do this if your existing installation is something you would ever want to go back to)
Wipe everything *except* your SD card - DO NOT WIPE YOUR SD CARD without a backup
Flash the zip
Reboot
If it works, great; let it sit for awhile, then do whatever you have to do
If it doesn't work, nandroid back and ask for further assistance

First thing you need to do before installing a rom is partition your sd card to ext 3 or 4,install DT's apps2sd and then install a rom.Go here and read everything and follow the directions carefully,all the links to everything you need is in his thread,its like 2 or 3 pages.This will help you in the long run from running into more issues,trust me,i live by Hips thread.

^^^ I Love this guy!!

That's what i'll do. Ended up getting recovery installed, superwipe, rom and then (!!!?!!!)....bootloader loops. Grrr...
I flashed the only up-to-date rom i could find that didn't expressly mention partitioning the sd card - something new to me - and could hear that little geek in the back of my mind screaming at me that i needed to do so.
Thank god i have another back up evo. I'm not doing ISH to this one until i sort out the one that still charges. Stupid port malfunction...

Yet another jb guide.

1. you have to be rooted and on STOCK ZV9. the easiest way in my option is to lgnpst. here is a guide http://pastebin.com/g8hXBaaA
use this v9 tot file instead of the v7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091883&highlight=tot
2. you need to root v9 with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
3. you need to download the update zip and rename it update.zip. http://d-h.st/0a9
4. you need to move update.zip to /cache using a file explorer (this is why you need root)
5. reboot into stock recovery. get into stock recovery by holding vol down+ home button+ power button until captive lights flash then release.
for some people programs such as romtoolbox's rebooter works and for others it doesnt but you can try.
6. choose "apply update from cache." then "update.zip"
7. you are now running JB.
8. restore root by using root keeper
9. if you want to reroot use the same method for zv9 above
Congrats, you have rooted jellybean!

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

so i made an actual guide because i did this in the car since kc removed his at the time.
here is the updated version which shouldn't cause a brick except for a few that make a mistake here or there.

Noob Question about this guide
First of all, thank you all for what you do for the Android community
I am obviously a noob, so please bear with me.
I recently used engine95's guide to root and unlock my Sprint LG Optimus G. It was simple and worked perfectly. I have not yet had a chance to attempt flashing any rom's and just noticed that I can actually have Jelly Bean now. So, I am rooted and unlocked. I have recently downloaded Titanium Backup, FreeGee, ROM Manager, Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, and ES File Explorer. I chose TWRP during the unlock procedure with FreeGee. I am now running Titanium Backup on everything (seems to be stuck at 96% with YouTube).
I am about to run through javskies guide to flashing JB (this guide just made more sense to me). I am hoping Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper will keep me from having to root again after the update, but if not, I think I can handle rooting again.
My main questions are:
1) I noticed something in another post about uninstalling FreeGee due to its current incompatibility with JB. Is this correct?
2) Looking at step 4 of javskies guide
4. you need to move update.zip to /cache using a file explorer (this is why you need root)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, I noticed that I do not see a file named 'cache' either when using ES File Explorer or Windows Explorer. (I haven't figured out how to paste a screenshot into a post, so I attached a JPEG screenshot.)
3) Because I did not see the /cache folder, I looked at the Flashing Guide and now I am even more confused because the steps for
ROM update without SDcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
seem a bit out of my leauge...or maybe I am being lazy.
4) How would you all handle a wife/significant other who wants to kill me for spending hours on end reading through posts?
Honestly, if I can grasp how to manage the .zip file correctly in this procedure, I am sure I will be fine.
Because I know it matters...quick thanks to javskies, engine95, fiddy619, and kc_exactly for (unknowingly) getting me this far. Also to _Epic, who apparently is losing his patience with Android illiterates, like myself
Good grief, I hope this post ends up looking right...it is my very first time posting...(just noticed the 'preview' button.)
Thanks guys!

Cache is a folder in the root directory. That is the very bottom of directories. If your rooted you will see it. Put the file there.
And freegee is not compatible for the jelly bean update. So, you are correct to remove it. It will cause a soft brick.
The app is safe just sitting there. But if you run it after the update you will have problems. So, I would remove it for now. Out of sight, out of mind.
Part of the steps to fix the soft brick will be too format the whole phone. So, remove it. The creator of the app is a very active member here on xda. He is working on a fix. Just check back on xda. We will all know when it is fixed.
And it doesn't bother me what guide you use. If you read the bottom of my guide it is basically the same as this one.
I am not a hater. I like to help everyone. There is no competition.
The update process is confusing for new people. There is no way around it. Just follow the steps and you will be fine.

As for the wife. Just say what we all do.

Basically, any combination of something like that usually works.

Also just a heads up, after u download esfile explorer, u need to go to settings and way towards the bottom there r root settings. Make sure u have the appropriate options checked so u can back out of your sdcard folder. Super user will ask u to grant permission once u check the first option. Grant it. That way u can get to that cache folder that you need.

Thanks javskies, your guide worked perfectly. I'm now back to stock rooted ZVB.
I dont know why this guide has been lost in the forums. I coudnt find it until you helped me out javskies.
This guide is perfect for those who want stock zvb that have locked phones.

No problem. This guide is now pretty much just for people in your situation since we have stock roms and the otas so not many are really going to need it. I'm very glad it helped you out and it sucks to hear that shelnutt couldn't help your situation :/

Actually, shelnutt had a way but he said there was also a risk of bricking my phone. I told him I couldnt because I dont have insurance nor do I have a backup phone. I will do it his way within time once I can get a backup phone. Hopefully, within two months.
He also said there were many people in the same situation that can't unlock phone. He's also trying to find the problem and work out a solution in the future.
