This same thing happened to me a couple of nights ago. All you have to do is flash a rom to the phone that is stuck on that screen. Put the rom on your phone memory and not the sd card in order to fix this problem and flash the rom. Tell me if this doesn't work.

i have no rom i am stuck on boot loader and unrooted so flash the rooted rom?
i can not get any ruu to do any thing
and i can get my pc to see any drives at all from the phone no storage

Unlock and flash stock Rom. Why did you relock it?
sent from my EVO LTE

how can i unlock it threw adb because i dont know how on adb and htcdev unlock is what i used and it is not working

alittle better
ok i got out of boot loader . i had to re-root using htc dev get token the hard way the adb
and regain root. so now if i re-lock can i flash the ruu but i don't have to unroot?
last time i un rooted threw super user

still not working
Ok i have rom stock with goodies 1.5 . if i lock my bootloader it stays stuck in the bootloader screen i can go to hboot and fast boot. i want to go back to stock. I tried to do the ruu but it shows up as a white paper file. and window will not directed it. I really need help i have 10 hrs to take it back to sprint because my wifi has a problem

Can't run RUU
I really hope someone can help me... I am running CM10 but since yesterday after a couple hours of use, the radios barely get any signal if at all (there's a tower just down the street from me). Turns out now I can't flash a sense ROM nor can I run the RUU because whenever I relock the bootloader it goes into a reboot loop back into it.
Anyone have any ideas? After all this, I'd like to just go back to the stock ROM and wait for HTC/Sprint to officially release JB for my EVO LTE.
Thanks guys!

Did you figure this out?

[Q] Bricked EVO 3D?

Hello everyone. The other day i used revolutionary to Perma-root my evo 3d. Everything was fine, till my text messages were not sending. So i took out the battery and popped it back in, and all i got was the HTC logo, then a dimmed black screen. Yes i can get into hboot, but i have clockworkmod recovery. I seem to be having a difficult time flashing the official sprint evo 3d rom. Any help is appreciated.
Download the pg86100.zip to revert back to stock in the dev section then go into hboot and let it update and you will start back at the stock ROM

try hboot flashing twrp recovery. then if you can boot up update your prl and profile, also make a phone call to see if you got that error 16 thing. Also, did you by chance try to replace your bootanim? If you did, and something like wrong permissions were set, it would still be booting with a black screen, maybe try leaving it alone while it's booting for a bit?
I did the twrp recovery, but i still get the dim black screen. after the dim black screen it goes black for a few seconds, then goes to the HTC logo again. I didnt try to change anything either...

Above is your best solution. From there you can decide to either root again or wait a bit longer. But that should fix the issue and keep you from a boot loop of just the HTC screen.
Well thats where you are wrong. I am still in the boot loop after doing the stock HTC EVO 3d flash.
So the bootloader scanned and flashed the PG86IMG file and you are still showing just the HTC screen?
Did you follow the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053
Hi where exactly do the adb and fastboot files go when you start to run commands?
Well no i still get the boot loop. guess i have a bricked phone...

A brick is when the phone is completely unresponsive and won't boot or give you a charging led. If you can get to hboot you're not bricked. I would do a factory wipe from hboot menu (choose clear storage), and then either run an RUU with your phone in fastboot usb mode, or use a PG86IMG.zip
of an RUU to flash back to stock. That should hopefully fix the loops.

From past experiences like this, wipe, flash the bare stock rooted ROM in the development section. Do this in recovery mode. Before wiping you could try just flashing the bare Rom over. That usually worked for me.

Sweet, glad you got it booting. Now that you've ran the RUU, you'll probably need to run Revolutionary again and then flash TWRP recovery. You should be good to go then. I think your hboot will still be S-off after the RUU, but from reports of other people it acts like it's still S-on and won't let you flash anything, so running Revolutionary again is necessary.
Well i cant use revolutionary...
My device is not supported?
And now i cant make calls or text messages, i get error 16.
any help?

Call Sprint. . they can fix it. . .it's actually a common problem after the root. Try to make a call. . .you will get the error message. . .you should hang on the line for a few minutes and it will direct you to sprint. They will call you on another line. . that's not your phone, and have you power the phone off. . .they will wait a few minutes then tell you to turn it on and make a test call. . .they may have you go thru a few things, but I didn't. . .and it will work.

Help!
I feel like such a freakin noob. My EVO3D is not quite bricked but I think i broke my recovery img AND my ROM. All I can do is turn on Hboot. Tried the stock Sprint RUU to go back to stock and i keep getting an error message everytime it tries to update the ROM image. Have no idea what to do now without being able to go into recovery. Suggestions?
My phone is doing the exact same thing, cept running the ruu.exe didn't fix it. Anyone else have some more ideas?

It will work man lol. Has for everyone else.... I never had that issue.. But everyone else that had it that RUU worked for them...
The download is slow as HELL man.... I had to get it the other day cause I had to unroot lol..

phone constant reboots

Well I got myself into a real pickle here. I was trying to get the newer OTA with my unlocked rooted 3D I tried everything I have here on how to do it but now my phone just reboots itself after it get to the sprint screen sometimes it does make it to where is show the info bar at the top with the time but reboots soon after. I have tried a stock recovery and a new OTA RUU using hboot and the PG86IMG.IMG which did install at hboot but I still have the same issues. Any ideas on how to at least get back to normal?

What hboot are you ? Also what software are you on 2.08 ? You are CDMA I am guessing? If all else fails man boot into your recovery and wipe just not your SD card and go back to hboot relock your phone and use the latest 2.17 ruu exe.. Works every time and then root again and your set... This info is for CDMA only Not GSM>>>
THanks reaper. I was on hboot 1.5 and CDMA sorry for not stating. I ended up just taking it back to sprint and they gave me a new phone which I am actually happy about because of a few blemishes I had on the phone. I think I will wait till after ICS and see if they can get it rooted. I really only want the ability to wireless tether.
Again thanks for the reply

Problem when unrooting phone, stuck on black screen

I originally rooted the phone using HTCdev method.
I'm trying to unroot the phone, I have Tampered, Unlocked, S-on
hboot- 1.19.0000
radio 1.12.11.0809
Per the RUU utility, it says Current information about your Android phone: Image Version 2.12.651.1
I followed a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC-3XsAoL_U&feature=player_embedded#! to unroot the phone. I was running Stock w/ Goodies 2.21, which I believed was software version 2.13.651.1, and so I downloaded a completely stock RUU and ran it, according to the instructions. It started doing its thing, the phone shows just a black screen with silver "HTC" in the center, nothing else in the corners or anything. it got to a point where it said Erasing Data, and then "sending...." then the RUUwindow came up saying
"Error 155, The ROM Update Utiliyu cannot update your Android Phone. Please get the correct ROM Update utility and try again."
I says to fix it, click next if there are exclaimation points in the corners. But I don't have excalinmation points in the corners.
Anyways, no matter what I try, the phone is stuck either at a black screen with HTC in the center, or if i pull the cable out, it goes to the boot loader and shows RUU failed. If I plug the cable back in, it goes back the the black screen.
Please help me!
Pretty sure this belongs in Q&A, not Development.

dont you have to relock to run ruu?
if you watch his video you can see his evo is locked. i remember on a 3d i was having problem running the ruu until i relocked it..
maybe someone else can help you to get it back on.

yeah, this is what im starting to see as I'm looking. It just didnt make sense to me that the phone has to be locked in order to do something like that, you would think it would need to be unlocked. So I'm going to figure out how to lock it.
Oh, and I just had to take the cable out and hold the power button for 10 seconds. rebooted fine, I'm almost wondering if I should just leave it.
if you wanna unroot i would first relock it, i am sure thats your problem since i had that happen to me before. at least you got it back on.:good:

[Q] back to stock

for some reason i'm having a big problem going back to stock.
here's my current set up...
tampered
unlocked
s-on
hboot 1.12.0000
TWRP recovery
Stock with Goodies 3.40
all i'm trying to do is get back to stock!
here's what i've done so far...
1. connected phone to PC with USB Debugging on and ran RUU of the latest release
2. phone reboots and goes to the black HTC screen and just gets stuck there forever
then I realize I have to relock it so I relock and then reboot but then it just gets stuck in bootloader and won't go into OS or recovery...just reboots to bootloader when I try to do anything. plus when I try to do adb or run RUU from PC, the PC doesn't think the phone is actually connected to it.
so i've re-unlocked and now it goes back to OS but my whole point is to go to stock and unroot...what the hell am I doing wrong? I'm about to just throw the phone into the ground and get a new one since I have squaretrade warranty.
I know many of you are probably just thinking...why doesn't he s-off? because i don't have access to 32 bit windows 7 PC and figured just unrooting and then updating to latest RUU and then rerooting/unlocking would be sufficient.
THANKS in advance for any advice...
maybe
u might watch this video. i did the same this morning. made it easy for me anyway.

all his videos are great.
that's what I started with...relocked and then ran RUU but it just gets stuck at the black HTC logo screen forever...like we're talking over an hour. the thing says it may take 10 minutes or so...i'm not getting anything status update...it just gets stuck there...

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390326628153819199
then again i'm still learning and don't know jack sheet
mine was 2.09 thats what i ran worked fine
Maybe Try Again
It took me a few tries or so, to get the RUU to work, but it finally worked.
One thing I realized is that I had to flash stock recovery prior to relocking, otherwise you're wasting your time, afaik.
...which leads me to how I came across this thread. I can't remember where I found stock recovery. I've been searching xda almost an hour. Can anyone tell me?
