may have killed phone.. any advice? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

i just upgraded to 2.2.1 and now my phone keeps rebooting when i try to do anything with system (wipe or write a new rom). phone continually rebooting, if my current rom tries to load phone reboots again.
when i plug in light does not come on...
any ideas or is this thing dead? i can still get into recovery and have some battery life just not sure what to do... already reflashed recovery
seems like my /system/ is hosed not sure how to fix if possible

tried nandroid restore.. it reboots
tried to reflash existing.. it reboots
i can still get into recovery though but if i do anything with 'system' it reboots
any ideas how to get that fixed or probably have to replace? i cant even overwrite my custom boot logo. ugh lol

Try relocking the bootloader, then fast boot the ruu

thanks im downloading the RUU..

How exactly did you update to the newest base?

Figured I would update this thread in hopes of helping someone else if they get stuck here.
I had upgraded to the new base with PJ75IMG and that went well - had used other ROMs on that new base.
What had happened was I was flashing venom on TWRP 2.2.0 and it rebooted phone when it hit system (why system was damaged in first place not sure, i had just rebooted into recovery).
I had to oem lock, ruu, oem unlock (even though it said s-off for lazypanda it was not working) and then i was able to re-flash twrp (this time pushed 2.2.1 through fastboot).
I've put a lot of evo's in bad spots but the behavior I saw on this was new for me.. Anything I touched 'system' from twrp or if my rom tried to load, phone would cycle. Light would NOT go on when plugged in.
Either way rocking new rom and am good! thanks guys

[Q] HELP - Bootloop

Hi Everyone,
So I just got S-OFF and post a questions about flashing...I then booted into Amon Recovery just to see if it was still there and it was. I then rebooted phone from Amon (which i have done before) and now my phone is in a boot loop. It boots into OS from then run super slow and reboots over and over and over again.
I have:
pulled battery...still boot loops
pulled battery and SIM...still boot loops
pulled battery and removed SIM...it work without SIM card, but no service
booted without back cover on...it works...but still no service. as soon as i put the back cover on it starts bootlooping again.
What the heck did I do wrong?
I am on stock GB S-OFF. any thing else i can try?
Thanks!

I'd reflash a stock RUU and then factory reset and start over.

Hi nosympathy,
Thanks for the quick reply. I may have resolved it by simply booting back into Amon and rebooting again from there. I will however take your response when/if this happens again.
I plan on trying to flash ICS Clean Rom or Ivysaur Rom. Just not sure if I can flash these with current setup. I am Stock GB S-OFF.
Thanks again for the help

You can flash either just make sure you flash the old firmware patch. You can find this in bored's rezrom 1.2 thread under downloads.

Hi nosympathy,
Thanks for the information. I am kind of new at this but why do I need to flash the firmware patch when I am S-OFF? Will this patch update my firmware to ICS firmware?

No it is because of the mount points changing on ICS. It just makes the from you flash look at the GB mount points instead of the ICS mount points.
Won't change your hboot or radios.

I basically want to know if I upgrade to new ICS firmware can I just start flashing the ICS ROMs without the need of flashing the 'old firmware patch'? And since I am S-OFF can I simply flash the new firware with going and unlock/locking from HTC dev?
Thanks again for all your help...

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.

From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip

Thunderbolt Boot Looping - can't access recovery or adb to phone

I could really use some help here guys. Last night I flashed a new ROM - ThunderShed-v1.6_CM7.2-tbolt using Rom Manager/ClockworkMod (had been using CM7.1 without issue). I also updated the kernal to imoseyon_leanKernel_v6.2.1AOSP (didn't change ANY kernal settings) after reboot and install gapps. Everything seemed fine, however after powering off and back on again. I am now stuck in a boot loop. HTC screen phone vibrates, black screen, then HTC screen. I then attempted to boot into HBoot screen which I was able to do. Clicked on recovery and attempted to get into clockwork mod and restore the backup I'd created. Phone just reboots don't get to recovery and continuous HTC Screen black HTC Screen. This isn't my first rodeo with flashing roms (no expert by any stretch, but I'm pretty familiar with the process). Somehow I've screwed something up badly. I did attempt factory reset. I've also tried to downgrade to an older RUU although the RUU is loaded in HBOOT and seems to install (other than Bootloader is bypassed, due I believe because of Revolutionary ERROR - Can not roll back hboot version). Everything else Boot, recovery, system, splash1, userdata, etc all appear to update and show oK. After rebooting I'm back in the boot loop. I've tried installing stock roms rooted and unrooted without resolving the problem. ADB doesn't help either just never returns the device serial number. Loopfix just sits there waiting for device.
I'm am S-OFF (via Revolutionary)

There is no PG05IMG.zip file on my SD card. (apparently can cause boot looping)
I googled to my hearts content, browsed every forum and blog I could to find a solution. Found similar issues but was not able to use any of the know fixes out there. Part of the problem is ADB doesn't see my phone. I've looked at 'loop fix' and 'thunderbolt all in one tool' these don't work for me. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'd prefer not to have to throw money at the problem to fix it.
I know I screwed the pooch on this one, maybe someone has the skills to help me unscrew it.
Thanks much in advance!

What happens when you connect the phone via USB? Does the computer detect it? You could try flashing cwm through hboot

Windows 7 does signal that it sees a USB device but it shows unknown device. I've tried the HTC Drivers and the android USB drivers from google. Nothing doing. I am currently trying to install CWM via hboot (PG05IMG.zip). Got into CWM once tried to restore back to my backup but after the restore process same thing.
Thank you for your suggestions!

I have the same problem.
I have a brand new(refurbished) thunderbolt. I recently installed
*07-25-2012* JELLYBLUR *V1.3* CM7.2 - SPJESTER Production
I completely wiped and cleared the device. All was running fine, until I unplugged it from the charger then poof, boot loop. I can also access hboot but nothing seems to work. I have flashed a few roms, but I'm out of my depth here.
I will try putting and image on the sd card, since it does try to flash a radio when it boots.
Either of you tried an RUU. Download 605.9 or 605.19, change it PG05IMG.zip and flash it through hboot, see if it goes through.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I have successfully flashed both recovery, and the latest mr4 radio from hboot.
Without the sd card, I was able to get it booted once after each flash. Unplugging it forced it right back into boot loop(whether card was in or not).
The only options that work are hboot, and fast boot. Neither connects to adb, or the all in one tool.
Can I flash a regular rom from hboot? I have previous version of thundershed, and various stock roms on the SD card?

I've tried RUU both .9 and .19 both seem to flash fine. But after reboot same boot loop. After trying a few more times flashing various RUU I flashed .19 again. After rebooting the phone I was able to get into the phone, everything setup fine, google account, wireless, etc. But after rebooting again. Back in same boot loop. I've also tried using 2 different SD card to rule out a bad SD. Unfortunately same thing. Starting to think this is hardware not a bad rom or firmware.
Rem
Ok I tried a factory wipe, no go either....
Tried installing regular rom renamed as "pg....." that didn't work.
So I've been told as long as you have hboot you can fix anything...Not sure whats next? At this point I'd be happy to start over.
Okay, I'm gonna try and see if I can get a dev to check out this thread for you guys. Because I am not sure what to tell you to do next at this point. Its exceeded my knowledge.

ok, I am not exactly sure what happened...I left my phone with no sim, no memory card and no battery alone for about 7 hours.
I came home with the intent to flash twrp from fastboot usb. I plugged it into usb port, put memory card and battery in. The phone on its own turned on, and voila it was in Clockwork.
Note the SIM card was not in the phone. I accidentally left it in the other tbolt I am replacing.
I factory wiped, cleared cache, and then installed thundershed from zip on SD. It has booted twice and seems to be running as it should be.
I put the sim card in and now its boot looping again. Removing the sim it boots and runs fine. The sim works fine on another thunderbolt, so I must assume the sim is fine.
I compared phones both were running the same rom and same radios. Kernels were different so I flashed imoseyon kernel to match the working phone. No go still boot looping.
Assurion sent me a "new" retail sim. Verizon told me to use my old one in the new phone. However the "new" phone will boot loop continuosly with old sim card. I have verified that the rom, radios, etc are all the same.
The mystery deepens...

Attempted the above on my device but no luck. Just same reboot loop. Just FYI. Thanks for the tip.

Even the different sim, eventually led to the same issue. I finally just convinced assurian that my replacement phone is defective (which is may be).
The only thing I can think of is that the jelly rom, combined with the all in one root tool somehow made a bad situation or the phone is simply defective.
Now my task is to see if I can flash something to make this stock...lol...I really don't want to send back a phone to assurion with clockwork and revolution on it if I can help it.
I suspect its going to be tricky as ADB doesn't work..
Here is where I stand.
1. Flashed a stock room, through hboot
2. Flashed a stock hboot through hboot. (this didn't work, revolution is locked)
3. I rebooted back to hboot.
4. removed sim card, and sd car.
5. Then I selected "Recovery" it went into standard recovery i let it sit for a bit, then it rebooted on its own back to stock, unactivated state.
I used the files from this thread
After this is seems to function perfectly normal, except I still have a revolutionary boot loader, and soff.
I let the phone reboot, and once it loaded I was able to get adb to work perfectly fine. I then returned to the above guide and fixed the boot loader, and s-off as directed. Its now completely stock. I mean it might be a version or so from whats current but a simple ota update would take care of it.
Its all brand new...Of course, I am still going to return it to asurian as I have no idea if it had a hardware issue, or what it was.

Tonyagee that's for the step by step. Tried on my Tbolt. Still boot looping. I appreciate you documenting what you did THANK YOU!
Your welcome...I definitely was on the edge of my skill set for sure....
So my thunderbolt is is in the same boat. The main cause for the boot looping seems to come from unplugging the usb from charging.
Mine will randomly stop the infinite boot looping and boot up. Sometimes it's quick. Sometimes it will take hours.
Most of the time when I manage to get it to run it is very difficult to get back into a custom recovery. It has to reboot the phone to get into recovery which most of the time just puts it into the infinite boot loop again.
If I plug mine into a computer it will charge but will not recognize the phone.
I've tried every fix known to man. No luck. I've come to deal with it as I've had this problem for two or three months now.

Mine has done the same thing. I read that one of the failsafe ways to boot up clock work mod recovery is that it will automatically boot up after a battery pull and turn the phone back on with it plugged in.
If I plug the phone in while it is completely shut down it automatically powers it on and 9 times out of 10 it randomly reboots but sometimes it will boot up into recovery.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop - rooted

My thunderbolt got stuck in boot loop about a week later after flashing Liquid ICS MR3V1. If I attempt to reboot the phone numerous times it will eventually boot up and work fine. The phone will not allow me to get into recovery - it will just go into boot loop once recovery is selected. I did manage to get the phone to go into recovery one time and I wiped everything and installed an infected eternity rom that I have been running for a long time without any issues. I thought I was okay once I flashed this rom but when I restarted the phone it went into the boot loop sequence again. Currently after 15+ attempts at starting the phone I got it to boot up without the SD card. I rooted my thunderbolt through revolutionary...if it matters?
From reading other threads it appears I need to install an RUU? Can I just install a RUU that will not un root my phone or do I need to change my modded Hboot, go back to s on and unroot? I flashed roms numerous times without issues and I always wipe multiple times and I am not sure what happened here. Unfortunately I do not have any backups to revert back to -- since I read flashing an RUU without the proper steps can brick my phone I wanted to seek advice to make sure I do it properly.
ys RUU can help you . just my own thought.
good luck to you :laugh:

Sounds like something is just wrong with you recovery. Try flashing another recovery. Also, IF you're using the boot manager app, it may be acting up. If the boot manager app is on your phone, I'd recommend removing it.

Do you mean try re installing cwm? I currently can't get into cwm because it goes into the boot loop sequence. I will try this later tonight and see if it helps. I do not have a boot manager app, I believe when I rooted through revolutionary it modifies hboot? (I have been rooted for over a year now withoutproblems)

I do not have a boot manager app, I believe when I rooted through revolutionary it modifies hboot? (I have been rooted for over a year now withoutproblems)

No, boot manager is just an application from the play store.
Yes, try downloading cwm recovery again.

Update - I reinstalled CWM and got the phone into recovery, and did a reset, wiped everything and got stuck in boot loop. I eventually got the phone to boot up and I deleted a couple roms, etc in my download folder. After this was done I power cycled the phone twice without any issues.

[Q] I bricked my HTC one

I unlocked my bootloader, flashed with Trickdroid, found some bug, then I decided to try the Renovation HD Rom. Got frozen during Aroma twice. Then I rebooted twice. Now my device is half-bricked. I can't get into recovery anymore. Tried CWM, TWRP. doesn't work. everytime I tried to get in recovery, it will just jump to the HTC screen. and after the HTC screen, it will reboot itself, and keep looping...
I want to try to restore using RUU, but there is NO RUU for AT&T version now.
I can't get in recovery, I can't get in the system.... I am stuck. Hopeless now.
Am I the first to brick a HTC ONE?
After 5 hours of struggling, IT got into the recovery again!!!!!!!!! didn't know what I did to make it work. and flashed with Renovation HD Rom and working now.
Update: If you keep getting boot loop, or can't get into recovery, try the ALL IN ONE kit and use the "erase cache", that fix my problem, and I learned it the hard way..

Can you still get into Fastboot?
Use android debugging USB push over image may need to add time delay to allow next available time there is an opening to load image.
Good luck

Hi I am a complete noob and just got my HTC one and went way to fast with rooting my phone and may have a bricked phone as well. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the clockwork mod recovery using the all in one kit. I proceeded to boot into the bootloader, and then went into the recovery. I backed up my phone at the point using clock work mod. I then wiped my phone to factory settings and wiped the cache. At that point I forgot that I had not put my ROM that I wanted to use on the phone storage. So i pressed reboot now. Obviously this was a mistake because there is nothing on the phone to boot off of. Now I have an HTC One that is not turning on no matter what I do and I have no idea where to start. Anybody know where I can start? It is also worth mentioning that I made another noob mistake by starting this process with 35% on my phone so is it possible that it is out of battery and not able to charge?
Charge battery copy ROM to SD card press volume up and power look for clockwork mod recovery go to SD card and install rom . Hopefully nothing more is required. Don't panic if clockworkmod is giving you brick sign usually its a sign you have wrong clockwork mod installed.
