Rebooting Evo - firmware??? - EVO 4G General

Okay so I got an EVO so I could flash to Boost (figured it mostly out) however I have another issue. My phone keeps rebooting even after a fresh ruu install (undoing all my work flashing), someone said it sounds like my modem firmware doesn't match the android software and to flash it to stock however I've tried three different RUU exe's so far and none seem to work, I've tried RUU 4.53.651.1, 4.54.651.1 and 4.67.651.3... I don't remember what exact software it had when I got it but I know it had radio 2.15.00.08.08 but even when I first got the phone I still saw a few random reboots so I wonder if it had the right software to begin with (such as maybe the seller flashed an incorrect image). My hardware version is 003 and hboot is 2.16.0001 and I do have s-off but due to the RUU attempts do not have CWM if that info helps.
So is there another way to flash it to stock I should try? Or could the problem be something else? If I manage to put the phone into airplane mode before it reboots it does stop it from rebooting btw. Sometimes the reboots are very infrequent, sometimes they happen before the phone is even fully booted (at the splash screen) and will reboot several times before fully booting.

I am having the same problem it appears... the phone is stock as far as I know and it keeps rebooting... So if anyone knows the answer please share...

Device will not boot...radio problem?

I have a Qtek S200, which is stuck in the boot sequence. what i beilieve is unique about my situation is that i am able to sucessfully flash updates roms, but even before i messed with anything the problem began. the strange thing about what is happening is on the boot scree where it should show all the rom versions, the 'GSM' line is missing. this seems to happen randomly, but most of the time, and the phone never goes beyond that screen, it just eventually goes all white, then reboots. i have flashed with older and newer radio roms, and have finally flashed with the newest dopod rom (2.15) with no change in the situation. does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Mike
maybe you can try this one
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=444&PN=1
or downgrade to a v1 rom and see if you get to boot all the way
Now you issue could be something else but what you can do to make sure (to a certain level) that the GSM radio is the culprit is take out the SIM card and try to turn on the device. This way radio would not be initialized and if radio is the problem, this way device should boot up successfully.
I have had this problem with my older JAM and had to take it to service center (They said radio was sucking in too much power and making the device to reset itself.)

Keeps flashing during Bootloader mode - rebooting?

I need some desperate help. Looked thru the threads but could not fix my issue.
Let me first explain how I get here.
My TMO MDA started to reboot intermittently ever since I upgraded to the WM6 roms. I went through several WM6 flavors thinking it was fix the reboot issue. The phone would reboot during calls and while accessing internet. It would sometimes hang during splash screen as well.
So...thinking WM6 is not stable I decided to d/l back to the carrier rom (file name: MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511).
When I started downgrade on one occasion, the phone rebooted towards the end of the process.
Ever since I've had no luck doing another rom update. I'm notices the phone would just turn on with the straight into the bootloader mode. It shows RUU on the right side and IPL/SPL 2.26. The bootloader screen would flash (rebooting?) causing the connection to drop.
Is my phone bricked?

Here's a tricky problem, need expertise!! Kind of urgent..

I have read and read and read. I have "bricked" my phone in the past and fixed it. I have used, tested, and flashed many roms from this site (Thanks to all cooks for their work!) but I still consider myself somewhat 'new' to troubleshooting.
I woke up this morning to make some important phone calls today and as luck would have it, my phone was stalled again. It's been doing that for a few weeks now. My last flash was Open Touch 5.0 UL I believe (either that or 5.2 biggy) and it has been working great except for the occasional freeze.
EDIT: Forgot to add, the actual problem is now it won't boot up after it froze this morning. Just sits at the boot screen
So I've tried my other methods of fixing it... /edit
Except this morning nothing is working. I have tried flashing with Orig. T-mobile ruu, tried SD flashing with the RUU_signed.nbh, tried restarting the computer, phone, removing battery and sim... NOTHING! When trying the sd flash (which I've never done before today, it reads and tells me to push the down button but then goes to bootloader screen and just sits there. With the RUU I'm getting err 300 but I'm using the SAME RUU (4.10...) that I've used in the past to reflash my phone AND tried the new one (4.26...)
Possible problem: Does it matter what kind of usb cable you use? I don't have the normal one I use as I am not home but I figured usb is usb...
I've read about it being a motherboard issue, how common is this?
I've read somethings about MTTY, would this apply to me??
Please help, anyone who has any suggestion, I'll try it!!
Stats:
IPL 4.10.0002
SPL 4.10.0000
NOT hard-spl'd
Wing w/ Open Touch Project 5.0 or 5.2
actualy the sd method needs hard spl thats all i can really provide
I appretiate it, that I did not know... I could barely find anything on how to do it even.
im having the same problem bt instead of freezing da screen jus goes different colors or jus goes gray and stays der
Thats basically what mine did. The colors would get messed up and no matter what button i pressed it would not do anything. My advice to you edrift, is BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW and reflash it asap if you can still reboot. I can get into my phone at all now.
yea i tink i might jus throw my phone away.dis is jus gettin rediculous

BlackScreen - fault

Well looks like my HD has developed a nice fault and is going to have to go back to orange.
The screen is black and no leds light up (charge etc) The hard buttons respond to being pressed and indeed if I press the phone key the screen does (or at least the tones corespond correctly(
I have\had been running HSPL, Dutty's 6.5 rom no worries.
I can get get activesync to see the device ok but obviously can not see if I can get into bootloader mode.
Now I'm going to attempt to restore to stock before reporting the fault in order to try and avoid "oh the software has caused the hardware fault"
I've managed to restore back to the orange stock rom (obviously now unconfigured) or at least I think I have as it ran through the install screen ok and the phone rebooted (or appeared to going on sounds only)
Now my only issues is to try to restore the stock SPL, however as I've said I cant get into bootloader mode (or cant tell if I'm in it) I've tried running the Hardspl and extracting the stock rom into that, but I'm just getting an error here. USB\Connection errors.
Tried rebooting etc but no joy.
Anyone got any ideas ? Or am I just gonna have to bite the bullet and see if it get's picked up?
cheers guys
I could be wrong, but I always thought when you flashed an operators own ROM it set the SPL also. I could be wrong though, but this is certainly what happens when I re-flashed my O2 Orbit back to the original software.
cheers fella will bite the bullet and report the fault and see what happens.

Flash RADIO fail at 96% -HELP!

ANybody can help me . i have a HD2 When tried to FLASH to any RADIO from 2.07 to 2.15 all failed at 96%. I have made a TASK29 also it fails at 96%. NOW cant install anything on it !
At first 2.15 flashed and after i made task29 it stop to install. Then i used 2.07 it flash, but again i used TASK29 and now when i retry to reinstall any RADIO, it fails at 96%.
Am using tasks29 because my HD2 is stuck in LOGO HTC. So am trying many ROM file for it to WORK but in VAIN !! I still can enter BOOTLOADER. Manage to install MAGLDR and WIN7 but never the phone was OK!
I was wondering if its a HARDWARE problem?
It usually takes a long time at 96%. Try leaving it for a while and see if it will complete. Mine took some time at 95%

Yep, mine hangs at 96% too. Maybe try this Task29 with Radio (check it's the right radio though)...

If you can get into BL dont worry you'll be able to flash. Just try everything again and give loader a moment.
Ok. I waited almost 30Mins ! is that ENOUGH?
But i Found that If i flash with this ROM (that has RADIO in it) - " Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.21907.5.0.93_1.80_ML_V4_Ship_EN " flash succESSfully but still i have the PROblEM of STUCK on HTC logo !
Again failed at 96%
Hello,
has anyone managed to resolve this problem?
I am having the same issue - radio and rom flash fails at 96%, I have tried even older radios and different roms with radio. Tried with HSPL 3.03 and 2.08.
When flashing from USB it always stops at 96% at hangs for 15mins then says fail.
If flashing from SD card then it just hangs indefinetely.
only the Duttys_Leo_Sense finishes flashes but the phone wont boot
Download this, flash it and and start from scratch. something went wrong along the way..but start from scratch and go again.
If you have trouble once you download. restart the phone holding the the power and volume down buttons. and you will get into bootloader..then connect phone and wait until it says usb and flash.

I have not looked to see if it is for the US or EU HD2. But seeing as you have a EU HD2 you have nothing to fear really as the EU can be flashed with any radio version with no bad effects. But the US HD2 can not be flashed with any radio version with a 51 in it or it will be hard bricked. The 51 radio versions were the first radio versions for the EU HD2.
also, try chillign teh phone for twenty mins in teh freezer, then quickly reinsert the sd and try to flash. It may help you get past the last few %
Unfortunately it didnt end well
HTC HD ROM update from USB stalled at 8% for more than 30mins.
Then I tried updating it from SD card when it failed instantly reverting to factory SPL.
And then I tried to use HSPL4 to put: SPL-208 instead of HSPL208. Phone said cracked it and after that it died.
Its completely bricked now, cannot turn it on - no key lights, no lcd
odd, these devices are very difficult to brick since if you mess up, just go into bootloader mode and reflash.

ahhh if only it was that simple. Check out the title of this thread, what you're suggesting is exactly what is failing. Look around, teh forum is stuffed full of this type of error. Sometimes it is solvable, sometimes not.
Hello, sorry for saying this but there is no solution to fix that. I had the same problem on friends HD2. It died with no reason, just rebooted. All you wrote is the same there, if you use newer radio stuck on 96%, older stuck in 97%. HSPL working ok, leoimg.nbh stuck on 8% and you getting ROM Update fail all times. That is hardware issuse and Radio ROM chip is damaged. We did not found any solution to fix that and even tryed xtc clip and all methods of instalation...
can u try flash HSPL first then the radio and then MGLDR...my problem is solve..
Hi.
I bought Hd2 yesterday, and I have a biiiig problem with it. It started perfectly - but after 5 min it shut down. It shows message about low battery, so I connected it into charger, orange led turned on. I tried to switch telephone on, but it freezes on white screen with HTC written. I tried soft-resets and hard-resets, even tried to install official rom - but installer is always freezing at 8%. I can get into BootLoader and phone is recognized by the PC after connecting USB cable. But this is all - i can't switch phone on, I can't install ROM...
What is wrong? Is it gonna work, or maybe it is totally bricked?
Radio flash stuck @ 96%
This seems to be the kiss of death for an HD2. I also have the same symptoms: stuck at 96% when trying to flash a radio. I have a US HD2 and I've flashed about 10 of these phones with no issues. This is the first one I've ever seen with this issue though. It was a friends phone that he wanted me to assemble. He gave it to me in pieces. When I assembled it, it wouldn't boot. So I flashed the stock ROM, but the flash won't complete. Fails at 8% or 11%. Tried flashing HSPL and it seems to work. But when trying to flash the radio it fails at 96% (it just hangs).
I was wondering if it has bad sectors on the partition or someting and if a J-tag service could fix this. Theoretically, it's supposed to be fixable if you can get into the bootloader. Oh well, into the junk box this HD2 motherboard goes until someone posts a fix.
I got the same problem can't not flash anything, and alway stucked at 96%.
Only thing I did to get it complete flashing radio, rom was put the phone in zip lock, and put in freezer for 10mins, took it out and plug in battery and flashing, at anytime, if the phone vibrating it will not accepting any data in, and it will stop at 96% and then i have to put in freezer again. Took me awhile to get everything boot up and got in windows 7 and play with it. But... the phone still rebooting it self, sometimes it will reboot after 5 mins or an hr when I am surfing webs or setting up the phone... Right now I am trying to get a different sim card to test out.
Seem more like hardware problem.
My problem is solved - I've got new motherboard....
NAND Toolkit
Have you guys tried to use NAND Toolkit?! it works fine for me, and never had issues flashing my HD2...
