I'm rooted, unrevoked; I'm currently stuck in a boot loop. I can not reach recovery. I can not get to my rom. I can only access bootloader.
So far I have taken these steps to cure my problem:
Ran RUU software in Windows (with and without sd card in evo)
Flashed RUU as PC36IMG in bootloader
Cleared Storage using fastboot in command prompt
Cleared Recovery and then Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork using fastboot in command prompt
Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed Sprint Lover's as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed eng-PC36IMG from Toastctfh's Old Root Tutorial as PC36IMG in hboot
Each of these methods flashed successfully as far as I can tell... yet I still go into an infinite boot loop.
Before the bootloop this is what I was doing:
I had the initial CM7 nightly installed for about 2 weeks. It was buggy, and a few days ago restarted and deleted all my texts, and desynced from google. On rebooting, google apps acted as if I had never ran the phone before - it asked me to enter google account info, etc, upon reboot.
I decided CM7 was too unstable and so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed CM6. When CM6 booted google apps was already on, before I had even flashed it! Anyways I figured I wanted to give MIUI a run, so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed MIUI. It ran fine for about two hours, and then rebooted out of nowhere... and never came out of the boot loop.
I'm really starting to sweat this as I have gone three days now without a phone. Does anyone have any ideas that may help me? Thanks.
If I am unable to get out of my boot loop, does anyone know if I would be able to unroot my phone and then take it into Sprint and get another?
Are you able to boot into recovery?

bump to this as I am also experiencing this same situation. Phone stuck in an infinite bootloop to the white htc screen then all over again. can get into bootloader but not into recovery.
tried all the above. this was out of nowhere.
This problem is all over the Evo section, especially in Q&A and I don't think I've seen anyone come out of it.
On the positive side, I also don't think I've seen anyone take theirs back to Sprint and have a tech even check to see if their phone was rooted or not, and btw, next time you flash a new ROM, not saying this is the cause, wipe EVERYTHING, not just cache and dalvik-cache
Having the same problem here also...
didi you try the clear storage mode in the boot loader cause if you already flashed the PC36IMGyou wouldnt have a custom recovery just the triangle screen i recomend doing it with the original 2.1 zip file then just re rooting it put the rom then flash radio and g apps

I have tried everything you have mentioned and nothing works...
The OP's list of attempted fixes looks like he ran the gamut.
Unless there's a fix that I haven't read about, it's time for a trip to the Sprint store....
I have someone working on mine that claims he can get it fixed...has access to things I don't. We will see. I will report the results.
Ok...He did it and its up and running. I was trying to flash mine to Boost Mobile so thats how i got mine into a boot loop but he got mine out of it with this...Download the

Boot into recovery and load one of your backups. If you don't have backups, then you just learned why you need them. Of course, there are people who have uploaded nandroid backups to this site and others, find one of them, move it to your sdcard, boot into recovery, and install it.
If all this fails, then just .sbf. It doesn't take forever, and you can make a nice clean stock 2.2 backup after you root and then upgrade.
What OS are you running? Have you tried to SBF your phone back to factory?
Im guessing its 2.2 only
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah i got it back by doing spf. And then reloaded a backup, but i could never get into clockwork, what do u do yo get into clockwork because the only recovery i was able to get into was the recovery that comes with the phone, just would like to know.

The same thing happened to me trying to update using the update.zip. Installs everything normally but when it comes to booting it simply stops at the motorola logo, then if you reboot it several times taking the battery out it boots into the system.
Doesn't sound like your rooted? Have to be rooted to use Clockwork.
If you are rooted might try reinstalling the Bootstrap Recovery.
Would definitely suggest doing an SBF on the phone. The guides here are a little unorganized, so I wrote up a nice one below. Includes everything including the SBF file needed for flashing.

Need help! My phone was rooted using the Easy Root process, all was peachy until I decided to try the latest leak of 2.2. Didn't work, got stuck at the M logo and could only get the bootloader screen up. I thought it was bricked but after searching high and low through the blogosphere got to this post. Now I've done the sbf as suggested, but when I try to do the Easy Root again, nothing happens. Any suggestions? I would like to root again so I can access the backup from my sd card and get my phone back to where I had it b/f. HELP!
I tried to use SuperOneClick to root my phone and it seemed to work. The program came back saying I successfully rooted my phone.
I then went to ClockworkMod to install cyanogen and clicked on the appropriate boxes to begin the download process for cyanogen 6.0 stable mod and ran it.
My phone rebooted and started to run some scripts.
Now, the phone just reboots to the green mytouch screen and continues to loop like that and I have no idea what to do.
I can get into fastboot on the mt3g and when I do, my pc makes the sound that states that the phone is connected but when I try to get into the mytouch, using adb, my pc cant access it but when I plug up my G2, I can see the serial number and such showing that it is connected.
I tried to follow the fastboot driver installation page but it didn't seem to work.
Bottom line is I would really enjoy a functional MT3G in either the regular form or cyanogen (which is why im in this predicament now )
For the the record,
I was running 1.6 but got the OTA update for 2.2 before I ended up blowing up my phone.
Thanks for reading this and any aid would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATED:
I found something called SAPPIMG.NBH that allowed me load Android 1.5 onto my phone. I now am back to a functioning device but still, I am super stuck on trying to get cyanogen onto my device. Any helpful hints? From what you read above, did I miss something?
Thanks again.
... Sadness... I have been bashing my face against this mt3g and haven't been able to get cyanogenmod on this phone for the life of me. I have tried all of the builds from 5.08 up to RC1 of 6.10 and I just get the infinite loop at the cyanogen boot up screen. I even tried to flash 2.23.XXXX radio to see if it gets past the boot loop and it does not. Anybody have any insights into my issue?
Thanks,
You must go into recovery mode(boot up by holding down home + power). That will get you to Clockworkmod recovery(I am assuming since you said you downloaded using Clockwork app). From there you need to wipe cache, and anything else you can wipe. Then try installing Cyanogenmod after that. Without wiping the there is not enough space to install and it causes a bootloop.
I'm in the same boat, I'm stuck in a boot loop and I cannot get any ROM to fully load in. I'm using clockwork recovery Radio 2.22 32B.
I tried wiping everything but that still doesnt seem to work. I noticed when I try wiping Davlik cache I dont see any message on the bottom. I thought it would normally give me some sort of message stating that it is wiping davlik or something so maybe it isnt actually wiping it?
Is there some other way to make sure davlik is wiped? Or something else I can do. I just want the phone to boot up at this point. I can get into recovery but thats it.
I know I shouldve done a backup but dumb me was such in a rush I completely forgot, I know im a idiot...
Het I found that same .img file and also reverted back to 1.5 then just went up to 2.2 not sure what was wrong but Rom I put on just went into a boot loop. Maybe it was clockwork recovery.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the padawan becomes the master... Sort of...
The problem is that you cannot go directly to 2.2 from 1.5. You have to do the incremental upgrades that take you from 1.5 to 1.6 then 1.6 to 2.2
I'm pretty sure my MT4G is bricked. After a reboot earlier today is was stuck at the mytouch boot screen for a long time. I booted into recovery (CWM 3.0.2.4) and was getting errors in recovery. I ended up trying to wipe data/factory reset, and reflashing RG. It seemed to work but after rebooting, it was still stuck. Tried wiping everything again and restoring my stock nandroid backup. Didn't take, kept saying unable to format /system.
After playing with my phone all day, and discovering that it is one of the phones with the bad chip and most likely unable to be fixed, I'm wondering if there's a way to get stock recovery and boot back on my phone through either fastboot or adb. I used the gfree method to root my phone. My phone is covered under warranty, but I don't want to send it back with CWM and S=OFF.
If no one can give you a solution I wouldn't sweat it too much. The same thing happened to me except after a few battery pulls the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I sent it back rooted no problems. I THINK when/if they fix it everything is completely reset (just a guess from a simpleton).
when i first rooted my phone i had the dreadful recovery errors as well. what i did after several hours of research was to erase recovery thru fastboot and the flash the recovery img again.

I just sent my other mytouch back because it wouldn't turn on at all. Now this one is being stupid! lol I just don't want to send it back with S=OFF and CWM because that'll void the warranty.

I tried replacing recovery to see if it'll let me flash a rom, but fastboot kept giving me errors with everything saying "Remote denied" or something similar.
OK heres the deal. I have done tons of searching and it looks like I SHOULD be able to get out of this, but I cant figure it out and I may have gone to far(by unrooting with 4.24 and bootloader 2.16).
So long story short, my launch day evo got lost about a month after I got it. Got a replacement from Sprint(or whoever their insurance is), my original Evo got found about a month or so after that. It has not been powered on since then(a year realistically) with no battery or SD card in it. I got bored and decided to power it up and update everything(because I cant do **** with my new Evo3d, yet since im on a Mac and have no access to a PC). Here are where things went bad.
Phone was rooted with the very original Toast method including S-off with the .76 Eng boot loader. I was running some form of CM6 on it when I lost it.
-Went to power it up and it boot looped at the white Evo4g screen.
-Went into bootloader and tried to get into recovery(had Amon RA 1.7 I think). No go.
-Flashed the new TWRP recovery and got into recovery just fine.
-Flashed the CM7.1.0-RC1
-reboot into a boot loop
-battery pull and a reboot and it loaded, but after about 30 seconds, reboot into a boot loop.
-Thought maybe TWRP didnt like the phone so I flashed Amon RA 2.3
-went into recovery just fine. Did complete wipes of everything using Calkulin Wipe all.zip
-re-flashed CM7.1.0 RC1
-boot loop
-flashed latest radios
-rebooted back into recovery
-reflashed cm7.1.0 rc1
-boot loop
During all of the reboots I would occasionally get the CM7 splash screen and then a reboot into boot loops. I THINK everything was flashing ok.
At this point I was frustrated and was thinking it was something I was doing that was jacked up so I decided to unroot and I flashed the newest RUU(which obviously removes root, S-off, .76 boot loader, etc...) so I did it. Figured I was just trying to get the phone running to sell anyway. Flashed was successful, chose to reboot and guess what. Boot loop. I pulled the battery out for about 10 minutes and it boots into the rom, runs for about 10-15 seconds in the rom and then reboots, back into the rom at least, but only about 10-15 seconds later, another reboot.
Every thread I read on these infinite boot loops were guys saying they couldnt even get into recovery or flash anything, which I had no problem doing(obviously cant really do that anymore with losing root and s-off). So I am stuck.
So current state of the phone is boot loader 2.16 S-on with 4.24.651.1 with all current radios, etc... flashed(as far as I can tell) from the RUU posted on Goo-inside.me.
Does anybody have any ideas for me to try? It seems like I am so close to getting it running because it will run for about 60 seconds but then reboot. I am guessing a hardware issue, but I honestly at this point have no clue.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me.

Thats what I am leaning towards, but why, if a hardware issue, will the phone run in the boot loader or recovery for basically forever without rebooting? It will also successfully(or did) flash everything I asked it to. I would think it would always reboot around that 60 second time frame if it was a hardware issue.
damn, too bad you ran RUU & lost s-off. now you couldn't do anything to test/troubleshoot even if you wanted to.

because in the boot loader and recovery menu I'm sure the phone is not accessing radios, audio components, gps, and all manner of other hardware components that get activated once the phone tries to boot up for real.
It sounds like according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805612&page=4
That my NV is FUBAR, but since I ran RUU and lost S-off, I cant do the fix. Oh well, I am sure eventually somebody will crack the boot loader and then I can fix it. Otherwise I have to send it off to HTC and I am sure pay them to fix it.
Just to clarify. The thread you linked to is for people who wrote nv items to their device.
What I'm afraid you are experiencing is the bootloop commonly complained about by those running CM roms.
I have yet to find a solution to the CM bootloop and all signs point to hardware failure.

Any help greatly appreciated! If I am in the wrong place, very sorry
Which recovery are you trying to flash and how?? via PC36IMG?
Thanks for the reply!!! recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img. and update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip I tried both as pc36img from HBoot and via fast boot. neither worked. I also tried to install to change boot.img via fastboot. same message.
Look for the Amon Ra thread in the Development section, grab the PC36IMG.zip Make sure that it's named exactly like that and flash that in Hboot. That should give you recovery.
i wish there was odin for htc devices
Will try that again first thing in the a.m. Been working on it all day and the brain is mush! I'll post the result as soon as I'm done. Thanks!

Well this happened to me once, what i did was i put on my sd card any other rom (i was using cm7 nightlies so i put another nightly in) and then i wiped cache and flashed it, however it might also help if from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702 you get the format all zip and use that to wipe everything. once you have flashed another rom and your phone turns on wait a little bit and then try once again to flash the first rom you were trying to flash.

Holy Cannoli!! Ok that .zip worked for the recovery (I tried several different downloads!) Now I have to see if I can copy an image. Wish me luck!
Thanks for the info. I totally though the phone was bricked. Actually the phone would load in HBoot and Fastboot but I couldn't get a recovery on or a ROM. In other words there was no ROM to boot to. In addition to that, wether I tried from SD card or fastboot, I couldn't get any .img, .zip etc to install. So here I was with an HBoot - S-off and no way to get a recovery or ROM on the puppy. I am still working on this and still jammed up but the recovery gives me hope. Please stick around in case I have a meltdown. (hasn't happened yet but I can feel it getting closer!) LOL
Stick around for the detail of what I did If I can get this ROM onboard! Maybe this will help someone else.
Success!!! I have a recovery and a ROM!
Here are the details...First I believe my SD card was/is corrupted. I am still using it and I formatted it several times but I think something was squirrely which is now fixed. Second, the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip that I downloaded at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=recovery
worked awesome to get a working recovery via HBoot and SD Card. Next, I used the new recovery to load my ROM. and Voila a working phone.
Moral of the story, Check the SD card, USB drivers, and file downloads for corruption. I think one or all of these played a part in my crash.
@ Johnboy this is an excellent group of developers and members here at XDA, I have been flashing both Winmo and Android for a long time but can always rely on the forums to bring me back to center when I crash and burn! Thanks everyone for your help.

when you go to boot loader and it loads, it then should ask if you want to update splash - hit no, then to reboot - hit no, then you should be able to go one down and hit recovery. do you get those options?
I get those options but when I click recovery it goes to the white htc Evo 4g screen and stays there no matter how long I wait.

I know I sound like a broken record but try formatting your SD card or using a different known good card and also use the link in my post above to re-download the pc36img.zip Amon RA Recovery. Then you know all the components are "clean and without erro". Then you can start to figure out the problem.
