HTC EVO fail root power cycles - EVO 4G General

Hi I have an htc evo and I tried to root it but failed when installing the damage control rom and now my phone just power cycles when I try to boot it up. If I go into bootloader, volume down etc, when I plug it into my pc it says it could not install the driver for Qualcomm msm device and I cannot run the recovery.bat because it just opens for a second then closes. Please help me!!!!!

I GOT the Same issue
I boughtt this phone (HTC EVO) off ebay thinking I can clear DATA and start over-- I've done some researching and it looks like this was a failed FROYO update-- I Tried usring RUU utility to update rom-- and found one that is the same rom as what looks to be on the phone already, because the RUU is telling me something like replace Build 3.26.651.6 with the same thing-- 3.26.651.6-- i will click yes/next-- it will write new info onto the phone-- then it will complete and restart-- then it goes back and power cycles over and over and over again...just on repeat--(i've tried to downgrade roms, but when i do it gives me a error that reads.."Error [140]: Bootloader version error The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again:---- interestingly enough there is no 4g splash screen when it cycles-- it only goes on the startup image "white HTC 4G EVO with black letters" then will turn off..then vibrate, then repeat again...over and over and over again...
PLEASE help--
I feel as though I've tried everything--
I've also attempted to put "PC36IMG.zip" on SD card with my GF's evo-- then back to mine-- because computer doesnt read my com when its pugged through usb-- i can only connect at "Bootload USB plug"
--ANY help will be greatly appreciated.....
Thanks in advance--

help me - Frozen operator screen, unlocking, flashing and usb connector.

Hey there, just want to say before I tell you my problems that this forum is cool. I recieved a lot of useful information and tools for my phone here. Thanks.
Onto the problems!
Okay so first of all, I was given an HTC Vogue on the Telus network from a buddy because my previous phone fell in the pool. I was having a blast with this phone, 'twas the best thing that ever happend to me.
Now before I get into specifics, I'd like to mention that I've never been able to connect to activesynce because the computer would not recognize the USB cable. I've never been able to fix that problem.
Recently I've been having problems with my phone. Sometimes it would take a little spill onto the floor from my lap because I'd forget it's there or whatever. The back casing would come off and the battery would come out. No worries, I would just pop it back in and off I go. But this time it would boot up to the Telus screen with the buncha red writing.
Code:
M 03
B 01
P DCAAXOM-4350H
R 3.41.00
D 3.07
After that text disappears, the phone would freeze at the Telus screen and either: a) No LEDs would flash b) a yellow LED would come on c) THe phone would be left on that screen and just shut off after a while.
So i did some research and found that I could preform a hard reset. Voila! It worked like a charm and I was off using my phone again, but it had barely been 24 hours before the phone froze and I had to reset. And the phone would revertback to the previous problem. Hard reset would NOT work. It would reset the phone but still freeze. Sometimes it wouldn't even stay on the hard reset, the phone would shut off as soon as I release the SEND button after holding all fo the hard reset buttons. So i went back here and on Google to look for the fix.
I've done a bit of research on possible fixes to my phone like disassembley of the phone and the placement of plastic sheet over a processor of some sort and flashing the ROM.
So what I did was look up some custom roms and what not. From what I understand you need a CID Unlocker before custom roms can be used. I looked around and found that I need the USB connector to work for the phone to become unlocked. But this conflicts with my current situation and whenever I try to flash with a custom rom from the microSD, it takes me to the Loading... screen and stays there without any mention of flashing a ROM. This is also the case when I try to put the CID Unlocking .nbh on my microSD card.
So I ask what I can do for my phone to revive it. I've done extensive searches on any fix to my phone with little or no result. I need some fixes fast because I have a tonne of important calls coming in that I need to answer. I will not accept that my phone is dead.
Please guide me in the direction on how to unlock the CID with a microSD card. Or just anything that'll enable me to use my phone again. I con't afford ot buy another one.

I gather that you can get to the boot loader screen by the above info. While on that screen try pluging you cable into a direct USB port on the computer and then into the phone. If your phone is recognized it will change from serial to USB at the bottom of the multi color screen. If that doesn't work let me know.

I've tried that. The phone reads USB but the computer can't recognize the phone. Activesync won't work either.
EDIT
I've tried flashing with a stock rom. Everything runs fine in that screen. I soft resetted the phone and it went to the windows mobile 6.1 screen with an orange LED and just sat there, I wanted to wait but impatience got the best of me and I soft resetted and now it gets stuck on the telus screen again. Sometimes the green LED flashes as if the phone was running normally and the screen dims. I don't know whats going on.
I think I've tried that ppcgeeks thing but I can't be sure. It doesn't work because I can't connect my hpone with the USB cable.
My boot loader screen has changed after flashing the stock rom. It now reads:
Code:
VOGU100
SPL-2.01.0000
CPLD-3
same problem after flashing, just different writing on the boot loader screen.

If you go to bootload screen connect cable and it changes to USB you should be connected.

To be sure that your computer is not connecting to the phone plug usb in go to deivce manager and double check the USB if it is not connected correctly it will have a warning sign by that port. Try reinstalling updating your drivers for the usb.

You need to flash the SPL 2.31 bootloader
It appears as if it's fixed for the most part. Some minor problems but that doesn't stop the fucntionality of the phone. But I'm still pretty pissed that no matter what i do, my phone will not be recognized by the computer with the USB cable. i've tried everything and looked everywhere. Does someone want to send me the usb drivers for the Vogue? Please don't tell me that i don't need drivers because activesync won't connect. I've seriously looked all ove rthe internet for fixes and none of them work. Any pointers ro anyone want to send me official HTC drivers? I want to start using cooked ROMS.
here you go HTC windows driver will work for the vogoue
http://www.4shared.com/file/94429326/ffb09a5f/WindowsHTCdrivers.html
But unfortunately won't solve active sync problem. I would uninstall activesync and reinstall on your windows XP computer.
Quote from HTC website
Q.
Activesync is not recognizing my device, what should I do?
Be sure that you have not connected your device to your PC before you installed Activesync. If you did plug in your device before installing, uninstall Activesync and start the process over ensuring that you do not plug your device in until after Activesync has been installed.
Verify that your device is recognized by your PC in the Device Manager; if it is not, resolve that issue first.
Unplug your device from the PC for a few seconds and then plug it back in.
Perform a Soft reset on the device while it is plugged into the PC.
On the device, go to Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and check the "Enable advanced network functionality.
crap, my phone just ****ed off again. Same deal as before. Hate being broke.

are you using a GPS ROM if so you have the wrong bootloader and need the 2.31 from this post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370.. Install the 2.31 and give it a try.
tried using 2.31 unlocker, when i run the RUU and says it will take 10 min it accually takes 10 sec and installs fast then after my phone restarts bootloader still says .41
You need that SPL 2.31 for that ROM

Who is the original carrier You will need to get that OEM ROM and flash it. Then run the 2.31 unlocker follow the directions you can use the bootloader on the factory rom I have done it with sprint and alltel Vogues. The OEM ROM will reinstall your radio then you canuse the unlocker. The .41 unlocker is for non GPS radio and ROM combinations.

Unbrick Tmobile Hero :(

My friend asked me to try recovering his T-mobile DE Hero, it was bricked while my friend was trying to root it
I tried to flash official rom, but RUU gets error 170...
This what appears on screen when device is on:
error 170... thats the usb connection error right?
this could be because the drivers are not installed properly.
read this thread, then try again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647353
Although error 170 is indeed USB error, (with windows 7 normally) the nasty looking Icon at the bottom of the screen does not look good, never seen that before
Let us know how you get on please
I had the same error with mine.
I ended up in installing a custom ROM, since NOTHING would work. No drivers no nothing. It just refused to read the phone.
I installed VillainROM 12, it has OS 2.1 so it's working perfectly
I had the same problem, but I was trying to flash my German G2 using an HTC Official RUU. I've been able to flash the recovery rom using fastboot and then boot it, but that's where my progress has ended. I'm about to flash VillainROM12.0.0-Full and see what happens. I'll let you know.
EDIT: VillainROM12 installed via AmonRa Recovery menu, but rebooting takes me right back to the RUU screen with an Xed-out EPROM
Nothing helped
I tried everything You said, but device is showing same screen, I also tried using SD card method but when I turn Hero on (while holding Vol-) same screen appears
Does anyone have any other idea what to do?
Its looking like a problem with a radio (drivers etc). Try to update it through recovery if u can enter there.
You can see in my first post the only screen where I can enter...
Well.. This icon with a "chip" probably say a SPL or Radio of phone is just f***ed up.. :/ You can enter to fastboot so drivers of graphics and other modules are in good condition..
wheeeler i think u should find a .zip with a official SPL and radio and update it through recovery like u did it with Villain ROM
I got some idea but I think u tried it before.
iwanrakic U can connect to phone via SDK?
Try this command. It should update it.
C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
Of course u need image of official radio.

How to fix an HD2 that Freezes at the splash screen and won't boot

HI,
I just had this problem and I saw that a ton of others had it too. It was where my phone would stop at the windows screen and not boot, and my PC wouldn't read the phone so I couldn't load a new rom or Hard SPL. How I fixed it was by getting my phone into bootloader mode, (the multi colored screen). Here's how to do it.
While phone is Off:
Hold Volume down & press power button
While phone is On
Hold Volume down & press Reset Button (meaning the little yellow button by the battery that you have to press with a pen to soft reset it)
Once your on the bootloader screen, plug your phone into your PC, you will hear the ding that the computer recognized it but your Windows Mobile desktop software will still say your not connected, don't worry about that,, you are connected. After that, just pick whatever rom you want, then just install it like normal. and it works. If your not running a rom, do the same but install hard SPL instead of a ROM.
I hope this helps,
As long as your phone turns on at least to the opening screen there is hope.
kn0t.
i had that problem, my phone was stuck on stock together splash screen, but I just called up tmo and they have sent me a new hd2.
Three words. I LOVE YOU! well not really since I'm not gay ha!
By the way This also works for the HTC Imagio!

Ok first off what ROM do you have and what SPL does it show when you are in the muticolor bootloader screen? Secound if you are trying to flash a ROM yse right clicking the .exe file and selecting run as adminastrator is a good idea. l
I had the same problem.. what usually helps for me is when it gets stuck.. pull out the battery and give it a solid 15-20 minutes.. and then turn it on and do nothing up until after it has booted
i do the battery thing but i cant go on doing this , i put a little txt or phone call and the phone goes bonkers and heats up,nightmare!
ok on the tri colour screen it says
PBB110 HX-BC
SPL-S.08.0000 8G XE
MICRO(LED) 0X05
MICROP(TOUCH)
SERIAL
AH!! just got into the boatloader screen !! by pressing volume up and down together~! rest it! but i need to wait cos ive pulled the battery again!!!
I am having the same issue. I had a android rom then was finally able to flash via sd the stock rom, but it would just freeze on splash screen when trying to boot. Now when I try to flash rom again it will start and freeze on 1%. Any suggestions?
Now when I try to load rom via usb it starts and then freezes on 1%. Then will say communication error and then when trying to boot phone it says software issue and now I cant even get a rom put back on! Please help lol

Ok try going to windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download and install the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) , wich ever one you have to have for your computer, and install it on your computer as they have updated USB drivers for your HD2.
have you tried loading a rom from the root of your memory card LEOimg.nbh?
i have this problem too...but what is worse is after i went to splash screen and connect my phone to pc, my pc wont detect my hd2...so i cant flash a new rom...
ps : im on stock rom bought this almost 2 years ago if im not mistaken

You need to put your phone into bootloader then your computer will recognize it. Hold the volume down button down while you power on the phone and the multicolor bootloader will come up. Next connect your HD2 to your computer via your USB cable. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader changes to USB and then flash. If you go to the device manager of your computer while you see USB on your phone it should say HTC USB Sync if you want to be assured that you have a connection to flash with.

[Q] HD2 cannot turn on...

hi there, im new here and ive been searching on the forum for a long time, but i didnt see any solution for my problem... (or maybe i was blind) so when i was trying to flash back original ROM from bootloader screen through USB, it didnt show my current image version info on the screen, but it did show the image version that im going to upgrade... however, i still let it updated and it said its succeed. but when my phone going to reboot, it stuck on the "stick together" screen... btw, my phone is PB81120 SS-B3 SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE. hope someone can help me solve my problem... thanks first :]
Go into bootloader again and connect the device to your PC via usb (should show USB at the the bottom in bootloader) and run the Rom Update Utility again. But first make sure the ROM is compatible with TmoUS Hd2.
I would recommend flashing stock from the bootloader just to be safe.
but i was trying to install T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1 under bootloader, and it still the same... :[
Was that what you origonally tried updating to? Or was it a custom rom you had tried?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
that was the latest i tried to updating to, or any different kinds of version of original ROMs... before, i tried to update a custom ROM on it first, but it failed :[ actually, when i first got my phone it was unlocked, so while i was waiting to get the unlock code for it, i decided to install android on it... later on i had successfuly putting android on it, and by that time i got my unlock code too. then i typed it in and my phone just reboot and stuck on the "stick together" screen till now... so i started to look through the forum and found out that most ppl said is to reflash the ROM back to the original one first, and then everything would be alright... but i guess it didnt work on my phone D:
Have you tried a hard reset? (Hold both volume buttons while booting)
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
yeah... i tried everything :[
hi,
don't worry, your problem is resolvable. (as long as you see something on screen, you are lucky.)
1) When the stick together screen comes, do you see any numbers on left bottom after waiting for some time say 1 min.
if yes, then your problem is missing OS image only.
in this case, take out the battery. after that, keep volume down pressed all the time and insert battery again. press power button, if mobile does not start immediately. please keep volume down button pressed till the time tricolor screen does not come on. after that connect cable to computer and update normally.
2) If you don't see any number, it may mean multiple things, which all are resolvable. (most likely bootloader stuck in another mode.)
in any case, try steps in given in 1 and report back. before reporting back please install mtty on your computer as it is needed to send commands to mobile to get out of this mode.

Reflashing stock att rom

I have an HTC Surround that I cant get to boot past htc logo and if i try to hard rest it goes to spl screen. Where can i get the software to reflash it. I also have another microsd that i can change out if that is bad
still working on
So I replaced the mirco sd and tried to do the restore using the power and volume buttons and still would not get it to try and boot more then a few secs and stop at the htc screen. I also flashed the stock att rom that I got off xda but still no luck. My last chance is trying a new battery today are there any more suggestions
My surround did the same thing recently. It's a problem surrounds have. Unfortunately you have tried the 3 most common solutions.
1: reflash with stock rom
2: Change out sd card
3: hard reset
The only way I know of to get a working one after you have tried those 3 things is hope it's under warranty. :-/

Where did you get that stock at&t rom? I've been all through the developer section and all I see are telus and cingular roms. I've got a phone from the shop that's stuck on the htc logo and replacing the sd card hasn't fixed it. I tried to flash a telus rom because hey what the hell do I have to lose but RUU wasn't able to establish an ActiveSync connection on the htc logo screen looping repeatedly. Is there a way to force it into a sort of download mode from the htc logo to do the flashing from?

i'm guessing this should work:
C. Windows Phone 7 ROM Flashing Instructions
1. Unzip your downloaded *.zip file in a separate folder
2. Press and hold power-on/off button to power-off the phone
3. Press and hold volume-down button and then press power-on/off button to enter bootloader mode
4. When your phone enters the tricolor screen bootloader mode, release volume-down button
5. Connect your phone to your windows 7/vista/xp pc/laptop with a usb cable
6. Verify that your phone will be identified and relevant drivers will be installed by windows os of your pc/laptop
7. After completion of (6.) above, check the usb message connection on your phone screen
8. To flash the new ROM go to your pc/laptop folder of (1.) above
9. Double click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and strictly follow the instructions on your pc/laptop screen
Do You still need help about this?
Basically you need to download DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH from this forum, this will allow you to flash a custom rom. The ROM installed at the phone must be a NODO one because mango roms updates the loader and are not compatible.
For apply it you must put the phone on loader. Connect the phone to the usb, turn it off, turn it on but holding volume down key.
Once there you will see the 3 color screen and will say USB run the DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH and follow the steps.
The phone will restart and showing again the 3 color screen but with HSPL now you can install DFT ROM. DFT ROM is basically a custom Windows Phone with the option to sideload apps you just run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the DFT ROM downloaded and it will upgrade your OS to DFT Version.
Now what? SPL too high!
My brothers HTC surround has crashed, and fails to load the OS. i can get to the bootloader, but it's
spl-4.2.2250.1 (129185) MNG
i've got HSPL and RSPL, but they say DON'T TRY IF NOT 1.X SPL OR IF IT SAYS MNG. his says both. he was running mango, and i'm just trying to reinstall a stock rom. I'm wondering what advice any of you might have. I've reinstalled roms on Samsung devices, but not on an HTC, so i'm not sure what all this is about, or what the consequences are of proceeding. any help would be great.
Thanks dudes.
bump?
please?
Is it 1/2 bricked?
If you connect the device to a PC does it go to USB mode? At teh red blue green screen does it say USB at the bottom?
USB
It does display USB. If i leave it on for like an hour, eventually, i just discovered, windows DOES load, and it says "your memory is corrupt" it does connect to the computer, and it is detected by my pc, and it does display USB. I'm going to try to put in a new SD card, but i'm wondering once i do that, will i be able to flash the retail rom to it, with that spl.
thanks!
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837.I believe you will have to downgrade your bootloader. I haven't tried this yet myself, I hope it helps you out.
