[Q] 4gEvo Bootloop - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok i have a box full of evos left over, my 3d i just broke the screen so i was gonna use a extra but there stuck in bootloops theis one has
hboot 2.16.0001
supersonic evt2-3 shis-on
radio 2.15.00.05.02
mar 08 2011
its stuck in loop[ and i cant get to recovery, i can go to the bootloader but nothing past that either way... is there a update.zip i can use or something??? its not rooted and dont remember what this one was in the box for but i do know a rom was tryed to be installed with s-on

Doesn't sound very good.
If it doesn't bootloop inside the bootloader, the best you can do is to download and put this file on the root of your SD card, then try to install it through the bootloader to see if it fixes the problem. If not, there is not very much you can do to solve a bootloop with the phone S-ON.

You can use htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader but you need hboot 2.18 and you have to select all other supported models on the htcdev tool as your device

ok then i didnt do the htc unlock, well i tried the img u said and when it started the update it failed the radio, the first one, but finish the rest fine but said update failed.... i think maybe batterys low so im charging it now to try again, but i have a few bricked evos if anyone wants to see if they can unbrick em'
well i did the update about six times and differnt everytime, but the last time i had no errors an all complete but when it turns off to reboot it never comes on..... once i pull the battery and reinstall the battery if i turn the phone one it just bootloops still. anytime in a menu it says reboot divice and i do hit the button the divice never comes back on??? ivew tryed a few batterys, could this still be the problem?

well i got two bricked evo now if anyone wants them i can send the motherboard out

DEAD EVO! Help please..

I really need some help. Im s%*& bricks right now.
I have Damage Control 3.2.2 with the OTA 1.47 installed. I am rooted
I have to return my Evo for warranty exchange to The shack.
I did a stupid thing and tried to run [ROM]RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1 exe
RUU ran about 14% and then gave me error.
NOW Evo wont pass the White htc EVO 4G screen!!!! I can still access clock recovery and do nandroid restores, but it still wont get pass the white htc screen! am I toast?
If you can get into recovery, then just download a new rom and flash. Hboot will work with usb.
Sent from Ye Olde Evo
hboot on the device? Ive never used Hboot? Can you give me a 1,2 step if you dont mind. sorry for my noobness
Hold volume down then power as well.
Flash the stock rom via recovery or use nandroid to restore your Evo then try RUU one more time?

Sounds like a similar problem I was having a week ago... I couldn't load any of the DC ROMs, but I could install Fresh 0.3 (but not 0.5), Aloysious, and the 1.47 Rooted stock ROM. Try to install one of these, and see if they will load. Also, search for the PC36 file that is used to ROOT the phone. Put that on the SD card, power off, then hold Vol.Down and power on. It should try to find the PC36 file. If you get a message saying the main version is older, it is the EXACT problem I had... You will have to do Toast's part 2 of the ROOT to restore it. The biggest problem, is getting it to see the PC36 file. you will need to flash the mtd-eng file in toast's method. Where I had the problem, is I couldn't get the sd card to recognize in adb. Someone had posted up an ADB code to get the SD card mounted so it would be able to flash the mtd-eng file, but I can no longer fid that code.... Hopefully someone will see this and know what I am talking about...
Thanks guys I had tried most of these solutions before posting . Nothing would change my screen. I did fix it though... It was there easiest thing ever..I just flashed the new Ruu 1.47 . I guess it won't let you downgrade . Now I'm stuck with non rooted Evo ... I guess I'll make my way over to dev forum . Thanks again

[Q] EVO 4G won't boot, stuck at HTC EVO 4G screen

Hi, hoping someone can help me. My phone seems to have bricked itself. A few weeks ago i had CM6 on my phone then i reverted back to the stock rom from HTC. The phone worked fine for a few weeks then about a week ago i started having random data connection issues, yesterday the phone started resetting by itself, after the third or fourth reset the phone stopped booting at all. all i get now is the white HTC EVO 4G screen or the bootloader when i hold the volume down button.
Here are the version numbers on the bootloader screen.
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.02.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01
Oct 14 2010, 19:14:47
i can only get windows to recognize the phone through usb by using the HBOOT USB option and installing the android bootloader interface driver. I don't really know how to use ADB and i'm not even sure if it is seeing the phone. All i want to do it get this back to official firmware.
any and all help is appreciated
thanks.
Well, it's not bricked if you get into that menu. Can you get into your recovery? If so, try wiping everything and reflashing the rom.
No i can't get into recovery, i even tried reapplying clockwork recovery trough there and all it does is install it, say it's installed ok then i reboot and try to go to recovery mode and it just goes to the white HTC EVO 4G screen
What version of hboot do you have?
*Nevermind* Apparently I can't read. xD
What root method did you use?
that's if i even installed it right.
i'm not sure if it even is rooted anymore because i had put the official firmware back on, when i had CM6 installed i used clockwork recovery and unrevoked
well if you were able to install a custom rom like cm6 then you are more then likely rooted. you say that you cant get into recovery? you should just try running the ruu.exe and returning to complete stock and then reroot if you want.
the official RUU.exe doesn't see the phone. when i connect hboot in the bootloader, device manager see's the phone as android bootloader interface and it i let the boot normally and let it crash at the evo 4g screen it show's up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" and doesn't have a driver. I am running Windows 7 x64
maybe you should try slashing the stock pc36img.zip maybe that will get you back on track.
Edit: this is the link to the thread with the stock pc36img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
and just for future reference. it is not that hard to do a search of the information that is needed. while i was here posting these things i found with the search all the info i hae given. just food for thought.
What caguirr4 said. With that file (or since you have s-off you can TRY getting a rom zip and renaming it to pc36img.zip) your phone will read it automatically when you boot using the volume down technique. That should at least get your phone to boot up and you can continue trouble shooting from there if you have more problems.
Remember: Conserve your battery! You don't want the juice to run out while the phone is in the middle of flashing something. THAT is how bricks are made.
i ran the update you gave me, the phone said that all the stages of the update were sucessful and asked me to reboot, i did so and now my phone won't power on and when i plug it into the wall it won't show any charging lights.

You ran the updates that who gave you? Various things were suggested on this thread.
sorry for not clarifying,i ran the original stock image that was linked to me by caguirr4 in post #9. According to the update it ran fine but after that the phone died when it had me reboot.

Ok, so you press the power button, and it does nothing? That doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully, your battery is just dead and the drivers for the USB port didn't install right. In which case, you need this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Do you have any extra batteries you can try to make sure that battery isn't just dead?
I ended up taking it to a sprint service center, they tested the phone with thier own battery and the phone was dead. they are replacing the phone for me now. thanks you everyone for trying to help.
You could of just overwritten the ENG bootloader u had installed...
I am having the exact same problem. I can get to the bootloader but not recovery. Here's my specs
SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.79.0000
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab

I had cyanogen 6.1.1 installed on it and it was was working fine. I just felt the thing vibrate and took it out of my pocket to see the "htc EVO 4G" screen and it just keeps rebooting unless I hold the volume button to get into the bootloader.
I REALLY don't want the stock firmware back on here and would like to avoid loosing root if possible.
I tried putting the PC36IMG.zip from here and at first it asked me if I wanted to flash it and after the first thing it restarted and now gives an error Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Any ideas? I would really like to keep this phone.
Thanks,
Justin
I've tried basically everything I can think of. After attempting to flash the first PC36IMG.zip file I get the main version error for every other one.
Is there somewhere I can get the latest PC36IMG that will be newer and I can try to flash? At this point I don't really care if I lose root (if I haven't already) I just want my phone back.

Just run the ruu.exe and get it back to stock.

I tried that. I even tried flashing the stock PC36IMG.zip (which flashed successfully) but I had the same problem. I finally gave up after like 8 hours of working on it and took it into Sprint. I am going to pick it up at 7. They said if they couldn't fix it they would give me a new one for $35 since I'm out of warranty which doesn't seem bad.

Never heard of this issue. If i got u correctly, screen goes black with soft keys flashing means screen displays as if opened a black picture. Hboot options inaccessible. Was the os getting booted or not. Check it by making a call to wildfire from other phone. Is ur phone s-off by xtc clip.
Anyway cannot tell u the solution. But coming to the possible ways, u have RUU method and PC49IMG method. And warning, donot upgrade to the official froyo if u r not on it.

sir im using cm7 and my phone is rooted i remember the last time i used my phone is i download some apps in the market then somebody calls me when i pick up my phone its already a black screen and the 4 buttons on the bottom are just flashing so try to pull out the battery it doest open anymore...
and sometimes i can access on hboot but my phone usually hangs...pls help
Just to be clear: your phone gives the same symptoms (black screen, flashing input buttons) in hboot mode?
sometimes i cant access on hboot i should try so many time if some i got luck i got an access it usually hang help....
I suppose you have preformd a nandroid backup somewere in the proces of you installing CM7 and you have Clockworkmod recovery due to the rooting process by unrEVOked.
Try as many times as you need to boot into hboot, and once there, navigate to recovery. In there you can put back a nandroid backup. In my oppinion, that should fix it.
If you no longer have a nandroid backup, just "reinstall" CM7 trough this recovery as you did the first time.
Erwin
I guess if his phone was s-off, then something error might have happened to the partitions which might be causing the issue. Because problem with access to hboot menu is not related to operating system.
And maybe if what I thought is correct, then an eclair RUU might be the solution (some solution which overwrites all the partitions). But nothing sure.

Very true, but shouldn't the problem (inaccessable bootloader) manifest itself every time, and not most of the time?
Just brainstorming here, not saying right or wrong ;-) in contrary, I think its a good thing to try!
dare i say could it be a hardware issue?
last night i got luck to wipe all the data and my phone went back to a stock cm7 2.3 but after several min my phone turns blank again now i cant boot on hboot if i got lucky to enter hboot it hangs again

what do u mean by stock cm7.
As im not using custom roms, this seems something strange and confusing to me.
AFAIK, wiping the data clears the.custom rom.
And u forgot to tell ur hboot version and secure flag (see those in hboot menu). Whats ur hboot version now, and have u used xtc clip to make s-off.
[anyway i think there will be no harm on flashing merely the RUU. So, i think u can make a try of eclair RUU of ur region which has the Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 might be a hope]
bro i didnt used xtc clip my phone is already rooted im in cm7 nightly build how can i use ruu?and how to use it?i cant even boot on bootloader.....
and when i press now on volume down+ power nothing happening i cant go to the hboot....

Not sure of anything now. As u said u havent used xtc clip, ur phone will be s-on.
U said that when u faced the issue for the first time, ur phone screen went black on incoming call. That means there os is booted. If it is still the case, I think u can go with RUU, but not sure whether it works or not.
And RUU is an exe file to be run on windows pc connecting the wildfire in charge only mode. It is used for flashing the os. If u want to make a try with the ruu, u can download it from
www.shipped-roms.org/shipped/Buzz/
There u should download ur region eclair ruu which has radio version (u can see radio version in the file name of ruu) same as I mentioned in above post. And pls donot download froyo ruu.

i downloaded this one http://www.shipped-roms.org/shipped...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe am i correct bro?im from the philippines i dont know if this one is for my region....
do i still need to install htc sync????
Htc sync is not necessary if u have installed htc usb driver which will be 13 MB size. Anyone from those two will be needed.
And as there is no phillipenes ruu, that wwe ruu might be the option for u.

[Q] Phone Freezing At Droid Eye And AThen Bootloops

So i was running a miui rom and did a clean wipe to try and a new rom. I couldn't get past the boot screen of the rom so i figured it was just a bad download. so i went and unrooted the phone. i have Hboot .92 thew radio is 2.15.10.07.07. i have the phone to s-on. i downloaded and installed the stock verizon gingerbread rom by renaming it to th P whatever lol. the reboots gets to the incredible screen then goes the htc quetly brilliant screen then it does the droid sound and i get the red snapdragon logos. but when it get's to the droid eye after it circle goes back and forth once then freezes on the second one. it sits there for like 3 or 4 minutes and then it just reboots to the droid sound and snapdrogon screen then the droid eye and stops and just keeps repeating this. i am hoping someone on might have a cure for this. the only thing i can get into iss hboot. hoping it's not fried. thanks for your time. and sorry for the long post, just trying to be very detailed to get the right help.

Have you tried doing a factory reset from hboot, and then reflashing the ruu (PB31IMG.zip file) thru hboot again. Also why did you go s-on, just makes it way harder to reroot or fix issues like these? The only reason anyone should ever go s-on is if you need to return it to verizon under warranty.
the reason for s-on is because i was selling it and the new owner just wanted it stock. they know nothing about rooting or any of this kinda stuff. i do believe i tried the factory reset but i will give it a go again.
so i believe i have found the problem. and doing some research it's my own fault. i am still on the .07.07 radio baseband and i found out that i should have downgraded before getting s-on. now i don't know if i can fix this problem or did i just ruin my phone. hoping for some good news. thanks

Im pretty sure you have to downgrade the radio to get s-on. As in it wont work to get you s-on if your not on the right radio. Are you sure you didnt downgrade and doing the ruu just upgraded it again?
I would try doing the latest ruu.exe with a pc, instead of PB31IMG.zip.
i would love to but the pc will not read the phone because it just boot loops.

Try flashing the PB31IMG.zip ruu with fastboot. androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/487280-easier-way-flash-pb31img-files.html
do you happen to have a workable link for the adb and fastboot. the link on android forums is through megauploiad and is not a workable link.

Have you installed the phone drivers on your pc?
i have installed everything that i can to try and get this phone working. hboot comes comes up on the phone just fine and i can get to fastboot on the phone. when i go to recovery from fastboot it goes to the green triangle then it turns red. i do the volume and power to get to recovery but when it comes up i get a bunch of error messages. and am at a lost with this. all i know is i don't think it is bricked because i can get to hboot. when i try to install another pB file from hboot it either does not do anything or it tells me it failed because it was an older version. i am pretty sure it is a software problem i just can't figure it out.
