[Q] Did I permanantly Ruin my EVO? - EVO 4G General

I tried rooting my phone and it made it through almost all the steps and then failed..Well it rebooted and had a big red exclamation mark and triangle on the screen. Well i download the stock ruu and tried flashing it and it almost finishes then says error 101..Now it wont even go into boot loader and had an htc logo and 4 triangle/exclamation marks on all four corners of the screen...Please tell me ill be able to fix my phone... Definitely wont be rooting again...thanks in advance for your help!

maybe try taking out battery and reboot

Push vol up + power and a menu should appear. You can reboot from there.
The screen with the four triangles is where you need to flash it from. Just make sure you are using the right version ruu

Stuck in bootloader

so ive been flashing roms and have never had a problem till today.
i went to flash the new ava-froyo rom and it went fine and booted right up, and then i tried flashing the new radio and that when everything froze.. it was stuck at the white evo 4g screen...
so i rebooted and it did the same freezein at the white screen..

Have i bricked my phone?

Hi. I were running a rooted stock rom with the newest radio and spl and ra recovery. I decided to try rom manager(i think thats what its called). I flashed the recovery, i believe it is called clockwork. When i rebooted my phone it just keeps rebooting at the htc logo. I cant enter recovery or anything. Is there a way out of this or can i just throw it in the dumpster?
Can you get into fastboot? Take the battery out and pop it back in. Then try powering on holding down back+power. You should get a screen with three Androids skateboarding. If you can get the port the information here. If you can and it just does the boot loop, do the battery again hitting the back button repeatedly, give that a few tries and see where it gets you.

Thanks for your reply but i cannot get into fastboot either. Ive tried holding every single key while booting xD. It just keeps doing the same thing. Reboot at the "HTC Magic" screen. I hangs for some seconds so ive also tried to see if i could grab it from adb but without success.

Did they take it back under the warranty? Did you mod your phone?
Do you get the blue led & black screen when pressing trackball + power at boot?
I get blue led but no fastboot or recovery

So that means your device isn't fully bricked - your hardware seems to be working, and you should be able to restore the device using JTAG (search the forums). Though I managed to restore mine by resetting some stuff with draining battery and repeatedly trying again. I'd recommend you to try too.

I think I bricked my device any help to confirm this would be really nice

I don't know what I did when I was trying to install the orginal rom but, now my phone just shows the mytouch 4g picture, then it goes black and the same picture appears again, while the phone is vibrating. I am able to get into hboot but none of the options work. I upgraded the firmware with clockwork and unrooted the device. Is there a way to unbrick, or is the device just a brick?
Any help I would be thankful toward,
Luke
This may seem trivial, but it was not mentioned and therefore I am asking. Can you get into recovery?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
No I can't get into recovery its locks up and stays on t mobile mytouch 4g screen. That is after i select recovery.
Good news is its not bricked. You're just hitting a snag on boot. Have you tried fastboot or hboot?
RIP Cotton Eye Jim
When I try the fast boot method it brings up bootloader i selct it and it takes me back to the main screen, at that point I try recovery again and the device show t-mobile mytouch 4g for a second then goes black and goes back to the screen and vibrates and repeats the same thing over and over.

You don't choose bootloader in fastboot. All commands need to be run from your machine.

It does not even show the device in adb. I have install the driver for hboot usb plug, but maybe I got the wrong driver. Do you have a link to download that so I can try to reinstall driver, or is the unit bricked? Or how do I fastboot with the unit not loading to android, but its on hboot screen with usb cable attached. Is there a way to do that?
Press and hold the back button while booting to get into fastboot mode. Then download the clockworkmod recovery img and flash it through fastboot. You can find more detailed instructions in the thread where you download clockworkmod. This will enable you to enter recovery and flash a new rom.
When I followed those steps, fastboot in red came up and it gave me choice of bootloader reboot reboot bootloader and powerdown, it does not load, I have tried the bootloader, it goes to the main screen.
Was being dumb needed to hit restart it boots, thank you I will be reading on clockworks. I a noob as you can tell.
I reinstalled clockworks but now I cant get the hboot up by holding the volume down and power key. Any suggestions?
Volume down+power does nothing?
RIP Cotton Eye Jim
Got it working just wasnt holding it long enough I need to be more patience lol
Lol, I had the same problem the mt4g when I first got it. Very different from the mt3g. For future reference, as long as you get fastboot to come up, or at least get adb to recognize the phone, its not bricked. I actually bricked a mt3g 1.2, and when they're dead they're DEAD. Nothing works except an led notification.

[Q] Stuck on bootloop

I'm stuck on a bootloop on the Samsung custom screen and I can't get into recovery mode. I'm not exactly sure what happened because my it's my brothers phone he says he was clearing his cache. I looked around on the forums to see what to do but I got even more confused. I'm using a Mac, so would it be a bigger problem to fix it? If this was a waste of time and this was already posted before with an answer, feel free to delete it. Thank you.
**EDIT**
I just got it into recovery mode, any help is wanted, thank you.
Is the phone stock? Is it rooted? I have no idea what recovery (stock or custom) you're running. Need more details
Are you trying the 3 button combo to get into recovery?
Hold power +home+vol up. When the blue text in the upper corner shows, release power and continue to hold home+vol up.

[Q] HELP!! 4.4 update

i tried to update to 4.4 through factory image files and i wounded up getting stuck on the nexus symbol and it wont boot up!!
i tried then going to recover mode but its not even doing that! the furthest i can get is into fastboot mode and when i go to recovery mode theres just the red triangle with no menu at all.. just the picture with the red triangle.. all i can do from there is hard reboot
so the situation is..boot stuck and no recovery
thanks for the help!
Well you should be fine. The little red triangle is normal, it is the screen you get before it goes to stock recovery. If you were to google that, you'd see you need to depress the power button and the volume up buttons at the same time. You keep them pressed together for about 4-5 seconds before it goes into recovery. Once you do that do a factory reset and see if that works.
BTW when you post like this make sure you include a little more detail how you got to where you are. Like what operating system you are using, Windows _, Ubuntu __._, or IOS. Also if you were using a tool kit. If you have ADB and Fastboot installed, etc., helps w/ the diagnosis if you know what I mean.

Maybe your factory image is corrupted. I downloaded the factory image from Google, checked the MD5 to make sure it was right, and then flashed it with no problem.
wipe data / factory reset on STOCK recovery.
