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

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!

[Q] I think I've jacked up my phone...

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.

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

Bricked Evo? Stuck in Boot Loop

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?

unfortunately, nope

Hmm then I'm not to sure what to tell you. That was my only idea.

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

[Q] Flashed cm7 & getting lots of force closes??

Im on mytouch 4g permrooted s=off,gfree method,i searched through the forums and couldnt find anyone with this issue?? Wiped data,cache,& delvik flashed cm7 and jt wrked fine for about 10 min then everything wss forcd closing,i couldnt open no apps or anything so I pulled the battery out & rebooted then everything happened again so I just flashed back iced glacier anyone had this issue??

I had an issue like that when I first got started, I found that all I needed to fix that was to fix permissions.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Did that then rebooted wrked for a lil bit and did the same forceclosing,i dnt knw whts wrng... Tried last night & then after it did the forceclosing I had to pull the battery then went to clockwork and got all errors couldnt mount cache or data,phone went crazy,but managed to keep playing with it & got it running again on iced glacier,i also have clockwork 3.0.0.6 forgot to put it out there lol..

I know this problem. There is an issue about the permission problem.
1)You turn your phone off
2) hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER switch to go to the bootloader
3) go to RECOVERY (to the clockworkmod recovery)
4) in the cwm recovery, go to the ADVANCED
5) in ADVANCED go to the FIX PERMISSIONS
6) wait until it is finished
7 ) restart your phone and nothing bothers you with crashing.

Did you flash gapps with the cm7 rom? You supposed to flash gapps every time you flash a cm rom. Also, did you do a full wipe? Not just cache and dalvik but a full full data wipe since you're coming from a different rom than cm.
Sent from my CM7 Glacier using XDA App

Yeah I forgot to say that also,i did install gapps also,did the full full wipe,@fosunite ill try that when I get off wrk & let u knw how that goes,thanks to all for the quick replies...

Am I the only one with this issue?????
wiped data,cache,delvik,formatted boot & system,flashed cm7 again,installed gapps,then fixed permissions,then rebooted everything booted fine then went to put my account info,phone started forceclosing everything again and at that point i cant press any apps or anything,always have to pull battery out then wipe everything and flash another rom.... i would really love to use this rom!

That s wierd, did you try without using gapps ? maybe it could be that you downloaded the wrong gapps version which is not compatible for 2.3...
i used that one which was provided with the cm7 download link.

Try this:
When you first boot after installing cm and gapps, let it sit at the google sign in screen. Don't sign in and don't hit skip. Just let it sit for two full minutes while the dalvik is rebuilt. Then reboot from the sign in screen by holding down the power button. Once rebooted, let it sit again at the sign in screen. Then SKIP sign in so you go to your home screen. Let the phone chill again. You shouldn't have any more fcs after that. Sign in to google by opening the market app.

[Q] HTC EVO Stuck at white screen

So i went to this website called udromDOTcomfrom my phone and downloaded the Evo - UD 3.3.1 onto my phone. Then i went to ROM Manager and installed the ROM from the /downloads folder. I of course backed everything up and when it was installing it said installing, then i just happened to walk away at that moment so i didnt see if any errors came up or anything but then the phone restarted and now i am stuck at the HTC Evo 4G white screen. Any help on how to get past this screen. HELP ME PLEASE

Try this. If you made a backup, nandroid back to it. Go into your favorite file manager and move the Rom file to the root of your sd card. Then boot back into recovery and flash the Rom again.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

from your description, you forgot to wipe. you are switching from sense to aosp, which is like switching from apples to oranges. you really need to wipe everything. second, i wouldn't use ud. they are just a modified cm7 (and for a long time, they denied it was anything close to cm7, enev though everyone and his brother could tell that they were the same. there was even proof in signatures of the files) so they are slower to update. i'd use the latest cm7 nightly, which is based on android 2.3.4, or the latest stable, which is based on 2.3.3.

And third, stop using Rom Manager to flash things with

I wiped everything and I used Cualkin (sp) Wipe. Now I can't even get into the bootloader to see my SD card. The screen (hboot) is just saying Fastboot , Recovery, Clear Storage, Simlock, HBoot USB. I go to recovery and all I get is the white HTC loading screen. I know it's not bricked. I don't know what to do next. :/

I did the same thing.. Let me see if I can find what I used to UN-BONE it..
