I posted this on DamageLess' page in hopes that he could help me, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I figure someone on this forum can help me.. Just read the paragraph and you'll know my problem...
Hey man, I really need your help
I tried using your new DCUpdater (which is a fantastic idea btw) and i'm having a major issue. My phone won't boot. At first I was having problems with SuperUser, but I fixed that by enabling USB debugging, then unplugging the phone, then using the Updater. That worked. But when I tried to reboot the phone, it wouldn't boot. I wiped, restored to my most recent backup, and it still won't boot. I wiped, manually installed your new ROM, and tried to reboot again, and that's where I am right now. It had the Quietly brilliant screen, flashed the sprint logo screen, and now it's back to the Quietly brilliant screen. I think it's in an endless boot, because as I was typing this, the screen flashed grey for a second, then it flashed the sprint logo, and now it's back to quietly brilliant. Please please PLEASE get back to me asap, because I don't know what to do.

id say do not flash a rom. do a factory wipe then restart. read my comment under ur original post
You can do what the 2nd guy said..
Wipe everything.. Then dont flash or nandroid restore.. JUST reboot your phone.
Or save all your files to your computer that are on your sdcard... Repartition your sdcard. Then reflash the rom and move your stuff back.

I just did a factory reset, wiped my Dalvik cache, and wiped my sc card option thingy. I went straight from there to rebooting my phone. I'll say something if it boots now
i'd say wipe settings, wipe ext, wipe dalvik, flash rom, boot. if that doesn't work, wipe again and again then boot.

Did you wipe data, cache and dalvik before flashing? If you did you might of just got a bad download, try downloading again and re flashing

No problem at all, how do you find the rom? I did try it out quickly but because it doesn't really work yet I switched back to CM7.
Sent from my awesome DZ
Its alright, hardly usable, but I messed with it a little bit. But I've already restored back to cm7 rc2.

i dont use it but i keep it as a backup incase i want some honeycomb delight
I am in a really bad spot, my Shift is stuck in a boot loop.
Before this happened, I booted into recovery, made a new backup, and then booted back up, mounted the sd card, and copied a previous backup into the folder. Rebooted into recovery and restored the backup from a couple weeks ago that I just copied over.
Now the phone wont boot, I get a buzz and the white HTC screen, then black, then back to the starting buzz again and the white HTC screen again, then back to recovery.
I've searched through this forum, but I didn't see anything that sounded like a similar problem. What could have happened?
I would just RUU back to factory and re-root, but I can't get the phone booted to a high enough state for the RUU to work.
Any ideas? I really need to get this figured out before work tomorrow.
I have tried flashing the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery, that didn't seem to help
I was on 2.5.1.8 and now CWM is 3.0.1.4
I tried reflashing the engineering hboot, that didn't work either
I can't get a logcat
I've also tried reflashing the original hboot, I see the switch to S-OFF, but that doesn't change the bootloop
Have I bricked my phone?!!
How could restoring a nandroid do that?!!
I was finally able to run the RUU using fastboot, I'll update once it completes
Edit: Ok, so using Fastboot and running the RUU I was able to get back to a working bootable state.
This time I'm going to try out the guide from the CM wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide

IF you could get into fastboot you could have accessed recovery. Could you not do anything there?

Nope, I would get put into recovery on every boot attempt, and couldn't get past it.
Also, I think there are some errors in the steps over on the CM wiki, so I don't recommend anyone try that process until it gets corrected.

With s off and fastboot working, and it booting to recovery why didn't you just wipe then reflash?

Tried that multiple times, always got kicked back to recovery. Even tried wiping each partition individually. Had to RUU to factory then start over, thankfully I had just finished a complete Titanium Backup of my system, so everything was waiting for me on my sd card.

Yeah I'm not sure you know what recovery is....recovery is clockwork 3.0.1.4 which clears data cache makes backups and flashes roms themes mods tweaks....bootloader is the white screen that shows s-off and if you use the volume keys and power button you could have booted into recovery and wiped your data cache and dalvik cache than fresh flash instead of unrooting

I am aware of the difference between the bootloader, fastboot, and recovery. In the OP, i gave the versions of clockwork I had been using, thanks for playing though.

right now neither, because I've just finished up re-rooting after RUU
I was picking reboot system, and it would go through the start of a boot cycle, but then die prior to the 4G boot animation starting and then start back over but kick me back into recovery.

Hi guys
I apologise if this is in the wrong place
So ive s-off'd with Alpharevx, managed to root my phone using clockworkmod recovery and now ive installed the CM7 ROM
But
It just shows the blue android on the skateboard with the arrow circling him!
Can anyone suggest a resolve for this!
I wiped data and cleared cache first btw!
Thanks in advance
sorted, took a few retries but sorted
i have same prob. what to do??? someone?! plz help!
The first boot takes a bit longer. If it boot loops you need to reflash it. Hope it helps.

What have you done? Did you installed another rom?
Before you install a new rom it's adviced to make a backup, than you wipe everything and than you can install your rom by selecting your zip file. You have to do this in clockworkmod recovery.
I hope this helps
brat slovenac,pomagaj! kad udjem u ricovery,sto onda?
i make backup whit titanium ... thats all ... i clear this in ricovery and try again ... what can do more???!

So, due to teamwin dropping twrp I flashed CWM Touch via rom manager (I did it twice, just to make sure it wasn't a bad flash or whatever happened) and when I try to shut down the phone, it just boots into recovery. Even after pulling the battery, once the battery is back in... recovery it is. It seems like it only does this when the phone is plugged in. But wtf is this? Lol, not hurting anything but annoying

Format /system, /cache, wipe dalvik and reflash your ROM. Once you do that download ROM manager (if it's not already there) and flash clockwork again.

What does rom have to do with recovery? Wiping cache and dalvik-cache will not do anything. It's because charging while off mode does not work anymore due to the new recovery being based off of ics and not gingerbread. That's probably why there's no power off option anymore too.

I'm sorry that we have people that won't even bother testing anything before giving false information... Are you on a older CWM recovery? On you on TWRP? Have you even once tried CWM touch recovery? If so you would know these things. BTW there's already a thread for CWM touch recovery right HERE
