sprint htc evo 4g lte, rooted s-off, twrp recvoery, stock android 4.1 rom
I was roooted for sometime now and have been using a stock rom but i decided i want to try the stable cm10 rom. Created twrp backup and I followed directions and wiped cache,Dalvik cache and performed factory wipe before i flashed the rom. After the flash was successful i rebooted the phone and thats when the problems began. The Htc splash screen came on and then the screen went blank and cant get it to do anything.
what i've tried
1)held down power button for 10 secs to reboot phone,soft screen buttons light up indicating reboot, phone vibrates htc splash screen comes on and then black screen returns
2)tried to enter bootloader but holding down power button and vol button but nothing happens
3)connected phone to computer to run adb/fastboot, adb devices and fastboot devices does not find my phone
4)let the battery drain completely and then recharge but same problem persists
Im stuck on what to do next does anyone have any ideas on what to do or do i have a bricked phone.
Have u used the power/ volume down before to access bootloader cause it can be tricky if your not used to it.
Once your lights have flashed 10 or twelve times I usually take my finger off the power button and press & hold vol down then a few seconds later I press power while never letting go of vol button.
Also you never mentioned wiping system before the flash. This is probably the most important wipe. Its basically the Rom
Good luck

Not sure man but I did see a thread about this very issue somewhere. I would start with toggling CDMA only and data on and off. Try sprint only and CDMA only . that usually works for me

Ok, I've had my galaxy s2 for a while now and have been running either AOKP or CM of some sort for almost a year. I've been running AOKP JB since it was released and things seemed fine... until today. I was at the gym on my lunch break from class and noticed after about 45min I had lost 50% charge. I had noticed that beautiful widgets had taken a long time to do an update later and thougth maybe it was a rouge app acting up. So I forced closed it and rebooted my phone. Now it just sets on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen. I can't boot into recovery or anything.
I've pulled the battery and followed the steps to get into recovery manually, but nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.
Phones dont brick themselves.
battery charge when powered off and connected to charger?
get download mode if you connect USB while holding vol buttons and powered off?
Recovery is tricky, kinda. Hold vol buttons, press and hold power. wait for bootscreen to come on, off, back on, wait a sec then release power button. recovery should pop up after a few seconds.
I'd wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions when you get into recovery.

My plan before it started acting up was to reboot it and wipe cache and etc to hopefully fix the crazy drain. I will be able to put it on the charger once I get out of class and check to see if I get the charge icon.
After some messing around on my breaks in class I can get into download mode by holding volume down and the power button. Where it ask me to press volume up to continue or down to cancel IIRC.
Recovery VIA holding vol up and down plus power isn't working. So, hopefully once I get home I can get into download mode and reflash it. I've seen a few threads on using odin to flash stuff, but it keeps mentioning that I need a gingerbread kernal. Since the phone has already been rooted etc can I just reflash the Fluxi kernal that comes with the AOKP and hopefully get back into recovery to do wipe and reinstall?
My stock s2 did basically the same thing. I picked it up to check email, it froze and rebooted, and no wont go past the Galaxy SII screen.
Not even rooted. From what I understand from the Rep, its a memory failure, and is fairly common.
That's coming from a Rep though, so take it as you will.

If you dont care about the flash counter, then yea, you can flash whatever kernel you want in Odin/Heimdall. boot into recovery and then flash the ROM again.
As for the memory failure. h/w failure would explain the issue. but thats something that I havent heard of, and even noobs of this site are smarter than most at&t reps.

Are you sure you have SGH-I777. That is not the button configuration for download mode on the I777. Could your phone be SGH-I727?
Alright it lives again. I was able to use the Odin3 one click to get back to GB then reflash AOKP JB from there.

So here's the gist of it all...
I have an HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is why I'm in this forum) that has been unlocked and rooted using the HTC-Method and is still S-ON. I am using TWRP and my rom is the MeanRom ICS version 4.9. I didn't change any of the settings (i.e. I didn't change any of the values that would affect performance). My phone has been working fine up until this point which is why I am currently asking you all for your help. Last I checked everything was working fine until my phone tried to connect to multiple WiFi access points at the same time and the system crashed I'm guessing and is currently looping.
I have tried a hard reset by holding down the power button til the soft keys blinked and the phone turned off, but it boots itself back up and goes into a loop again. It won't stay turned off and won't completely turn off. I have tried holding the power and up button to get into recovery and it doesn't do anything. I've tried holding the up button as it goes into the next loop to no avail.
For those familiar with MeanRom, it goes past the HTC screen that says this rom is for development purposes etc...then shows the little blue, roaring android, and finally gets the the MeanRom ICS boot logo. At start up there is a buzz like a text message comes in and right before the phone fully boots there is a smaller, softer vibration. My phone gets to this point and then freezes and reboots.
Sorry for the long post, but I figured the more information I give, the better my chances of getting some help. The battery was at about 85% when it went into this bootloop so I'm going to try and just have it discharge itself and charge it up and see what happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Have you tried clearing dalvik and cache? Sometimes that helps

I can't get to recovery, bootloader...nothing. I can't do anything, it just keeps looping. I can't even turn it off.
Hold power until it turns off and then hold power and volume down, it should boot to bootloader and then you can select recovery. Have you tried to boot in safe mode

I mentioned before that it won't let me get into recovery. It doesn't work
No, you clearly wrote you held power and up. I said power and volume down, they are in fact not the same thing

What about safe mode? Hold volume down when you get to the splash, it will hang a bit and vibrate then you let go and it will force safe mode

It vibrates, hangs, then reboots again.
When you try to get into the bootloader are you sure you're letting go? Once the phone turns off you need to let go of power and then hold power and volume down. Some people seem to think you hold power and volume down till the phone restarts and keep holding it, I don't know how people came to that conclusion.

I got it to go into safe mode, shut it down completely and then got it to go into recovery. Wiped and reinstalled and now it's working. Thanks for your help with this!
Complete noob here, sorry if this is a repost
I haven't been able to find a situation exactly like mine. If there is, I apologize in advance for this being a repost. Yes, I am a stupid noob. I had my EVO 4G LTE on HBOOT 1.19 and I unlocked the bootloader, flashed recovery and did all the necessary steps (including kernel adaptations) to flash CM10. Upon doing this I also got stuck in the bootloop and couldn't access recovery. I took it to a Sprint store and they somehow got it back to TWRP recovery and it's currently at the TWRP menu. Here's the problem: I didn't do a backup before doing any of this and I don't have anything to backup to (shoot me). I'm afraid that if i try to get back to the bootloader menu that I will screw it up even more. What do I do/download to get it back to stock? Any help toward this desperate noob would be extremely appreciated

load into fastboot and try to flash a boot.img and the stock rom (there a multiple threads/guides on how to do this) this guide is for the one x but it is the same for evo lte http://onexroot.com/one-x-roms/how-to-install-rom-and-boot-image-on-htc-one-x/
stock roms available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766628
Hey every one so i have the T-Mobile SGS 2 SGH-t989. I have been trying to install a rom i want to try out, the Paranoid Android with one for the phone. I have followed the instructions to the letter and i keep getting the same result almost every single time. The issue is that when I try to Wipe/ Cache or Dalvik or any thing else that i need to wipe on CWM 6.0XXX i get the CWM logo on the screen and nothing happens. I let it sit for awhile thinking that it is doing its thing and after about 3 minutes it reboots the phone to T-Mobile logo as if i just restarted it. I have tried using Clockwork Mod Touch and it does the same and I even down graded to the regular one w/o touch and i keep getting the same thing.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong maybe someone can help..Please
Which button are you pressing for the option, the home button or power button?

I press the power button to so select it and it just takes me to the CWM logo in the back ground and does nothing.
Ok, so I got an Atrix 4g from my dad the other day. So I decided to root it, I never rooted and had no idea what I was doing. I followed this guide to root it. http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/mo...t-atrix-4g-1-mac-2-3-4-2-3-6-os-versions.html . Than once I got it rooted and I'm not sure if it was a temp or permanent root, but I unlocked the system files read only and made them R/W. Next I wanted to get the touchscreen hack found here, http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/mo...mod-multi-touch-hack-enable-up-10-points.html . Without backing up or anything I was so confident that it'll work I went to System/ etc/ touchscreen/ and changed the NUMTOUCH2 to NUMTOUCH 5 in files 21 & 22 like the instructions said. Than to check if it worked properly, I rebooted my atrix 4g. When it came back on the touch screen was completely unresponsive. Only the power and volume rockers work. Next I dig my hole even deeper and do a factory reset, and format everything using the vol down/ power method. Now. My phone loads, it's factory stock, and the touchscreen is still unresponsive, to make matters worse, since i reset it the USB Tether mode is off and I can't even access the system files to return the NUMTOUCH back to 2. Please help me, if there's no hope, I'll just resort back to my flip phone since my girlfriend broke my Samsung smartphone's screen.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I SBF flashed it, everything went well, except it got stuck on "waiting for phone" and nothing happened, I had 15% battery so I unplugged it and charging it now. Thing is I can't go into bootloader mode just RSD. If i hold vol down+power fastboot comes up not recovery or anything, vol up+power works. any ideas?

Power off the phone. Power on holding power button + vol up. Make sure before the battery is fully charged and install the correct driver in windows.
Be very careful. This procedure can ruin your phone forever.
I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

:victory::victory::victory:
Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong TWRP.

May I suggest following these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51753483&postcount=129
If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.
