hi guys. wouldnt be posting this type of question if i wasent completly out of ideas of what to do. my evo has become highly unstable. i rooted it and flash the recharged final rom. after that the phone has become almost unsable. while on i cant get any sort of usb connection via charger or computer i had to use what little knowledge i have of adb to get again sd access through the phone. i have flashed stock radios. stock rom. the phone boot loops when trying to get to recovery. i have installed the orginal RUU to try and get it reverted to stock. im flat out burnt out of what to do next. any help is sincerly appreciated thank you.
What recovery are you using? If you are you clockwork you should switch to amon-ra. Sometimes clockwork doesn't wipe your phone very well

I was wondering if your phone is looped at the first bootloader screen and you cannot access recovery or bootloader is there a way to unbrick your device using a code in the adb?
Please answer...... and move if nessasary.
Thank You
I had been running Cyanogen 3.5.2 and then switched to JACHero 2.2 to see the changes. Then when I tried to switch back to Cyanogen and I kept getting the bootloop. No matter what I did, wipe, flash, wipe again, flash again. Nothing. I assume it might have something to do with the Apps2SD setup but I have no idea. I just reflashed back to JACHero and it is working fine.

Did you reflash using the ABD. If you did not then you would have to use the recovery or bootloader mode on the device. Therefore not using the abd commands at all. Im not bashing you or anything btw.
about cyan to jachero same happened to me... it has somthing to do with apps2sd your correct. somthing like the .odex files from hero saving on ur sd partion and ruining the whole setup on cyans. so what i did was use paragon partion manager to completely reformat my sd card and then remade my ext3 partion on it. and it works fine. im never switching off of cyans rom thoe. anymore to much of a headache and stuff.
(as you can tell im drunk and i really dont understand all this rom lingo lol bare with me i hope i helped you?)

There are other posts on this but if you can't get into recovery or bootloader you are toast adb may not connect(really it should connect to adb when on the boot screen but many have been through this and haven't been able to get their phones working. I bet you tried flashing the Haykuro SPL("Danger" SPL) right?
It is brick you will have to look into a replacement/exchange if possible.

Oh no was just wondering cause i am thinking about rooting my phone but under the right direction. Not the posts they have here cause they are to hard to follow. If you or someone could help me i only wanna upgrade to a hero that has flash player and can put notifications out like this one : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q-JSg53A3...AFD4/6TWLdeIi3VY/s400/rosie7-lock-screen2.jpg
I also had bootloop when switching back from jachero to Dude's 1.3. I had to pull the battery out to get it to shut down, but then I was able to use recovery to flash Dude's... how is it that you're unable to get into recovery mode? Have you tried pulling ythe battery?

If you mess up the SPL you can't get into recovery. The only known method of messing up the SPL is with the "Hero" SPL (afaik, without manually trying to brick your phone).
If you get a bootloop, make sure you wiped AND completely cleared your ext2/ext3 partition with apps2sd. That always seems to cause a bootloop.
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
Alright....so I messed up trying to install the GB ROM. Here's my problem:
The only thing I have access to at the moment is stock recovery. I am perfectly content with going back to stock and re-rooting, etc., if that's the only option. My most urgent concern is getting operational at this point. Do any signed ROMs exist that I can flash from stock recovery, even a stock D2 ROM? I have searched for two hours and can find nothing.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Edited for more info: I was originally running Liberty. Downloaded the GB ROM to my phone, but the download apparently didn't go through all the way. The ~240MB file was only around 100MB, but I didn't realize this until after I wiped everything to prepare for the new ROM. I thought, worst case scenario, I can get back to Clockwork and do a recovery image. But now I can't even get to CWR. When I try to boot, all I get is "LIBERTY" splash screen, and no booting
SBF to stock 2.2, reroot, redownload GB, flash, all fixed up
I don't believe there are any ROMs that can be flashed through the stock recovery because they must have a certain signature
Alright...so I figured it out. But now my battery is dead, and I can't figure out how to charge it enough to SBF. It doesn't appear to be charging on the splash screen (no LED), and USB charges until it goes to splash. NO LED when off
Edited to add: Right now i have it sitting on the splash screen (Liberty) with no charge LED, hoping that it's charging and doesn't want to tell me. Is there a better way?
Hmmm hard to tell. Usually in cases where the battery won't chargr, you'll have to find either someone who has a d1 or d2 and borrow their battery, or find an external phone charger

Now, This may have been answered or tied into the post by neidlinger, however I've found my problem to have some strange symptoms and was wondering if anyone could help me out.
I had my Glacier working just fine using the ice Glacier ROM, decided to try out some new ROMS including a couple Gingerbread roms. I updated Clockwork Recovery to 3.0.2.4 and flashed the roms, they seemed fine, but they weren't my cup-o'-tea. So I flashed back to IceGlacier 1.1.6. Ever since then My phone has had a boot loop issue that seems to be effected or triggered by power management. Not always, but sometimes If I plug my phone into the stock charger or otherwise, it'll reboot and sit there looping at the MyTouch splash screen until I pull the battery. Same happens on occasion when unplugging the phone. I can get it to boot into Android by letting it sit off for a while then come back to it a couple minutes later and power it on. Is there anything totally wrong with my device outside of what neidlinger posted?
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Update!
Update: I found some time finally to look through some roms and flashed "Royal Panache" using CWM recovery 3.0.2.4. I still get the boot loops described above, still related to power, seemingly. If I plug the phone in while it's off, often it will start up on its own. Any help is still greatly appreciated . Please tell me if I'm just being stupid and/or blind.
try changing charger, or use pc charge and see if that happens
Thanks! I'll give it a whirl. Though I will say, it happens when using my car charger which is just a usb port.

You keep mentioning the cwr version as part of the flash process. Have you been reflashing recoveries each time you flash a new rom or something?

I have not, it's just added information. From what I've heard some recoveries only support froyo or only gingerbread.

It still happens when plugging into my pc.
Try restoring your phone to stock using PD15IMG, and see if it takes care of the problem.
If you have engineering bootloader - remember to reflash it after PD15IMG (it'll restore 0.86 stock bootloader when flashed).
If the problem won't be cured - it means that somewhere in your flashes you've probably damaged/overheated something in the phone, and now it needs replacement.

Thank you very much for that bit of info. As soon as I get some time, I'll try that out.
Okay, I've searched and searched and no one seems to have the specific problem that I'm having with my phone, so I'm taking to the forums myself. I've been rooting since the G1, I know how to adb push things, I have used google and multiple forums to try to fix this problem. So here goes, anyone that can help I thank you in advance.
1-My phone, like some other MT4G users, reboots itself each time it's plugged in. Initially I thought this was because I was using a Kindle cord to plug it into the pc, so I bought an MT4G usb cable from tmobile, and still it boot loops (just the first white screen for maybe 4 seconds, then black then again and again). The only way to charge it is to let it start boot looping, take the battery out, turn it on, and if I'm lucky enough that it begins to boot up correctly I plug it in mid boot. If I wait til it's fulled loaded it just starts rebooting again.
2-It will not at all from any angle go into Recovery mode. If I try to go to recovery from Rom Manager, or from the screen you get when holding power and lower volume key or by flashing a rom through Rom Manager, it just boot loops just like mentioned above, until I pull the battery for a while (it is currently sitting next to me with the battery out) and then put it back in.
3-If by chance it's on, and plugged into the computer, it is not at all recognized. Ever. While it's booting up my computer finds something, but doesn't know what it is, and doesn't allow me to view any folders on the SD card. Yes I've installed the HTC drivers file. I've adb'ed things to this phone before, now it says device not found. I don't know when it stopped being recognized...
4-I've even tried to fastboot something over to it, but to no avail, still not found.
If I try to do a factory reset, it boot loops. If I sneeze it boot loops.... I don't know what to do, and if I trade it in under warranty, I have to reset it to stock rom, or they're going to charge me for a new phone. Any ideas!?
I have Cyanogen mod 7 on here.
have you tried a fastboot wipe? or have you tried to reboot to recovery from adb?
First, I don't trust using the actual ROM Manager app to do the flashing/installing.
Since you've been flashing since the G1 days why not use Clockwork Recovery? Just go into recovery and do the necessary wipes.
So I suggest to do a complete full wipe in Clockwork, meaning wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Install the newest CM nightly (Which is working wonderfully BTW) and see if your problems still persists.
Edit: I didn't realize you tried to enter recovery, oops. But yeah try what the buy above me said. Try re-installing the latest CWM recovery, if that still fails then try heading into there via ADB.

I second that, flashing ROMs from ROM Manager a terrible idea.
Well...if all else fails and if you are really thinking about returning it and still under warranty...few seconds in the microwave method should work just fine. They wont be able to see that its rooted if the phone wouldn't turn on, would they???
glimmer of hope...
So by the grace of god I did get it flashed back to unrooted, stock 2.2 by putting it as pd15img.zip on my sd card and going into bootloader. Once that was done I thought I would be out of the woods... I even plugged it in last night and no boot loop!! but this morning I unpllugged it (and I'm using a tmobile cable for the phone attached to my pc) and here it sits, next to me again with the battery out of it because everytime I try to turn it on (for over 40 minutes now) it boot loops to that stupid white screen (that is honestly driving me insane at this point). I know that it isn't rooted (because I dl'ed rom manager and it won't let me do anything without being rooted) so do we think that I'm safe to go to the store today to request a new one be sent? Thoughts? And thanks for the help thus far!
yeah I would send that back
Bad emmc chip? I'm sorry man, that's a terrible story.
