Background
mytouch 4g perm root.
install [Kernel]Gingerbread[2.6.32.36]MaxOC~1.84GHz,Smartass/UV/BFQ/SLQB-Faux123[Apr-02].
Once I finish the process and restart the phone. It continues to cycle through the tmobile/mytouch 4g logo and restarts again. I allow it to cycle for 30 minutes and still nothing.
Help please, thank you
**update**
I wiped cache partition and dalvik code. Still unable to get it to boot.
Make sure you are using Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.6. That is a common problem.
Most roms don't work with 3.0.0.5. If you are using 3.0.0.5., download RoyalGinger and that will get you past boot loop. Then search this forum for 3.0.0.6 and follow the instructions to install and all will be well.
Thanks. I am actually using 3.0.0.5. Updating it now. Hopefully I could get it working. Thank you
Also what rom are you applying this kernel to?
i just finished installing cm7. works perfect. one concern i have now is that i can't merge my facebook and gmail contact. (i like to have the personal fb default picture) on my contact. i know previously you were able to merge it but somehow it doesn't allows me to after changing rom and kernal. any one knows how too?

I didn't want this to be my first post and I've been holding out for a couple of days now, but here goes.
When the CM6.0 zip installation finishes, I tell clockwork to Reboot Now.
When it reboots, I get the white screen with green HTC letters. I do not ever get to the screen with the black writing on it. It then proceeds to the cyanogen mod boot screen with the swirling circle, but that's all it ever does. It will stay in the "boot loop" forever if I let it. The phone never progresses past that point.
I am able to do a nandroid recovery back to before the CM6 ROM and everything is OK, but its not FROYO nor is it rooted. I followed the instructions from here //forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730002
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Are you connected to the PC when you reboot?
No, I've tried twice and both times I was unplugged.
Let me run down some quick troubleshooting answers
I used CyanogenMod-6.0.0-liberty-signed.zip
I have the Android USB Drivers
I installed HTC Sync, but uninstalled to leave the drivers.
HBOOT is good
Clockwork installed like clockwork.
I did not install the Android SDK, I didn't think this mattered since I had the drivers from the Sync install.
Your best bet is to hop in the IRC and ask for help. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
I'll have to get on when I get off of work. Thanks for the linkage and taking a look at my issue!
OK, so the guys over on the IRC helped me out....very quickly I might add. I didn't want to start a new thread for this very reason...super simple fix!
My issue was that I did not perform a wipe through clockwork before installing cm6.zip.
According to Yoshiofthewire and jznomoney, the cyanogen boot loader will loop if the old HTC files are still on there. Performing the wipe through clockwork and reflashing did the trick!
Thanks to you all! now to set the rest of the phone up. Amazing resource!

No problem. I was gonna suggest that you didn't wipe, but I wasn't sure without being able to talk to you. Figured it was faster to send you to IRC. Glad everything is working. Enjoy.
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
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

Rooted using unrevoked. Flashed to evio 3 and trying to flash different roms such as CM 7, or Decks 1.0 and it wont get passed the boot animation screen.
The animation keeps looping and I end up restoring it back to evio 3 with manual recovery mode boot.
I tried cleaning the caches before flashing and it wont work.
Flashed with different methods as well.. Rom Manager and manual install zip from sd on recovery boot menu..
Im new to flashing roms so please let me know if you see anything wrong in my steps. I have titanium back up, but I dont think I have my stock rom backed up for some reason..
Did you wipe EVERYTHING before flashing?
all the caches it specifies on the pop up from Rom Manager, yes.
I havent wiped it to factory, re-root and flash if that is what you are asking.
Ok, wiped everything and got it to boot into new rom but marketplace is gone and its functioning bad. apps arent working and I cant restore apps or contacts..
You need to flash gapps to get your market and other google apps - this will then allow you to sync your contacts, calendar, etc. There should be a link to it in the rom's thread.

For the love of God do some damn research and learn something before you go and ruin your phone.

Just go ahead and reinstall the RUU. Search on youtube for unrooting htc evo. I believe the video is from zedomax. Great tutorial for getting your phone back to stock.
And another one having problems, and using ROM Manger......
Okay I followed these instructions
http://www.talkandroid.com/55906-on...d-3-droid-x2-cliq-and-cliq-2-from-the-forums/
I had it rooted, I used the droid x bootstrap to install the recovery and then used it to go into recovery. I made a backup, but I forgot to wipe before I installed a new rom (newest MIUI). I tried using the bootstrap to install the recovery again and go into it, but when I try to go into the recovery it just reboots the phone basically. It stays on the Motorola logo for a long time but eventually boots. I tried the Droid 2 bootstrap now and still the same results. The wifi on it is broken and the data does not work. Every time the phone reboots, its completely starting from scratch. I have to resign in with gmail and everything, and the bootstrap is no longer installed.
I tried using the recovery by holding the home button while powering it on, but wiping data and cache does nothing, and it errors out when I try to install the rom from the install from update option.
I'm stumped. How can I get back into the recovery so I can wipe+install the rom again?
I fixed it. Please delete the thread. Not sure why we don't have the ability to do so if it's our own thread.
Only because I'm curious, related to my DX presenting similar symptoms: If you have a few minutes, would you be willing to post up your solution/fix? I might find your insight and information useful in my present situation. Thanks in advance,
