Hey guys, I had rooted my Evo3d a while ago using the revolutionary tool. Hboot 1.4, S-OFF and all was well. I have the stock ROM and nothing done other than rooting it. Everything was fine for approximately a month...yesterday a member showed me how to remove the software update icon by un-checking the box in menu>settings>updates>...etc. I did NOT update anything though.
Now, this morning I wake up after the phone being on the charger and the capacitive buttons are lit, but the phone screen is blank. I try powering/waking it up and NOTHING. I pull the battery a few times and restarted it a few times and again, NOTHING. I tried doing the power+lower volume key and I get into the root revolutionary menu, but from there I am lost. Can anybody help? I'd like to recover my system settings and my information/files on the phone.
It's killing me now as I cannot access my phone/files, esp mid-week .
Thanks all!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
BUMP, and ^^ thanks!
Anybody please? When hitting power+low volume key>recover, it shows up as revolutionary cwm (clockworkmod??).
ps im an iphone convert, i know nothing about kernals/roms/etc. I followed a how-to on how to root using revolutionary, my andorid prowess ends there.
Was it unplugged when you pulled the battery?
Try removing the memory card, unplug, and pull battery. Then try to boot it.
Otherwise, I have no idea what you need to do. Other than a reset using the recovery...but that will erase your data.
Battery pull 30 seconds
Place battery back in device
Hold vol down and power hold till bootloader starts.
Use vol down scroll to recovery and hit power.
Let recovery boot.
Scroll to clear cache and hit power.
Scroll to yes with volume keys and press power.
When its done scroll to advanced and the wipe dalvik cache and hit power.
Scroll to yes with volume keys and press power.
Go back to main recover screen and choose reboot system.
Good luck

I have successfully flash the the stock SBF 6 times and while it does unroot my phone and restore the stock system it doesn't seem to wipe the data. WHen I reboot my phone and go through the activation, all my apps are still there and my email ect is still set up.
Doesn't returning to stock actually return it to just out of the box condition? I'm new to motorola so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Advice would be sweet...
Here's what I have done:
1) Power off and volume up and power
2) plug in usb
3) load up RSD Lite and select SBF
4) click start
5) once completed I pull battery and manually power up
No it doesn't wipe the phone. You would have to do a factory reset. You can do it in settings. Also you can power down. Press volume down and power till boot. Press power down till you see android recovery then volume up. Then volume down and up at same time. I think. May want to google it to be sure the steps are right.

Battery Question
So wait, if i installed a Pseudo-Rom, such as the Photon Laser Rom, without following the battery instructions, do i have to return to stock then redo all the Rom installation stuff to fix it?

Thanks, I figured as such. I'm used to odin and that wipes the entire phone.
I'm the stock att rom on 2.3.4. I had my phone for a while but never backed up my ROM. I performed a permissions fix and rebooted. I selected backup ROM and it rebooted. The phone tried to reboot but got stuck trying to boot to recovery menu. I hit the volume button and got the Rom M. recovery menu. None of the options work. It just shows an icon and does nothing. If I hit the volume button it goes back to menu. I've tried to reboot several times and it keeps on booting to a non functional Rom Manager menu.
I'm done my searches and I'm no luck. Is there a way to recovery without completely wiping the phone? I'm hoping there's an easy way to recover the boot using Odin?
Here's exactly what I did in that situation .. take the battery out and leave it out for about 2 hours.. this will totally deplete your phone of any kind of power.. after your done put it back in and it should boot up perfectly! If not try to take it out for longer

Depending on which version of cwm you are booting into...what button are you using to select? Most of them its either power or the home button. Try the home button to select.

Thanks for the response but I don't see how this would fix the problem as it boots from internal storage and not the memory. I'll try it while I'm doing research and waiting for more responses.

Much Thanks!!!!! Karashta. Selecting the home bottom to select instead of the power is the proper way of selecting the menu's.
Thanks for making my day.

No problem man. That freaked me out coming from my captivate where power was select. Glad I could help

I'm using [ROM]MIUI/CM7 Hybrid v3 multi-lang update 04/07/2012 and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Tonight I updated a bunch of Play Store apps that I've been putting off for a while and the only one that I could think of that could possibly have caused a problem is MiHome. Everything else was a pretty standard app/game.
Well my phone rebooted and now after it boots and shows the lock screen it goes blank a few seconds later. I tried unlocking it before it went blank and and I did see the home screen but it went blank again before the icons showed up. I can tell it's still on because there is a very slight glow from the screen if you look at it from an angle.
PLEASE HELP ME. I have no idea how to fix this and wouldn't even know where to begin!!
You've flashed a ROM before, you should know this already... Reboot into recovery, do a wipe data/cache (factory reset), reboot. If that doesn't work then wipe all and re-flash the ROM+gapps.
If you've been messing with system files, it's probably best to go straight to wipe all and re-flashing.
Re-install apps, re-configure the dozen or so apps you actually use on a normal day-to-day basis, and set a lovely wallpaper when you're done. 1 hour tops.
At the very least you'll be available for phone calls and text messages again within the next 10min.
Next time make sure to do a backup so you can restore a working copy of your data and cache whenever you need.
Unless you already know what the issue is, or how to fix it, sorry to say it, but the above steps are likely the quickest way to a resolution.
You're right I am very familiar with those steps but I can't reboot into recovery or any other method. My screen is blank and everything is unresponsive. The only way I can reboot is to pull the battery. I do remember there is a way to boot into recovery from a power off status but I can't remember how to do that.
BTW...thank you for your quick reply!

Hold down the volume-down key while booting up, when you see the Fastboot option appear, press the volume-down key repeatedly to cycle through the selections until you get to Android Recovery, then volume-up to select.
Try this:
- remove the battery
- press Volume Down and hold
- insert the battery (tricky part when holding Volume Down)
- wait till system menu appears
- release Volume Down
- press Volume Down again few times till "Recovery" shown.
- press Power
Thank you guys (or girls)! That's what I couldn't remember. Wiping now and will reinstall ROM.
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

Got the phone with rebooting problem: it got the rebooting after updated. The device restarted during Android app optimization stage so I just unblock with the AT&T stock file (pda-odin-att-stock.tar) after that the phone can boot up fine the problem still. It works but continuing reboot every 2 minutes. I tried to clear the cache, test redbend fota... but nothing works

First of all sorry about my English. I wish I can do better.
I got the phone with the rebooting and base on the owner of the phone he said it started rebooting after an update.
Not sure what was of update to but the phone I got always rebooting during Android app optimization stage ( when it updating about 90 files or so) but it got reboot when updating to the file of 57th (So it was not actually working)
I watched and followed the youtube (how to unblock/unbrick galaxy i717) which it used the pda-odin-att-stock.tar file with the ODIN3 V1.85 (I guess that original ROM of AT&T (android version 2.3)
After successful unblock/unbrick the phone the phone actual worked but the problem still. It works but only 2 minutes and the phone reboots.
2/ test redbend fota is one the options you can choose after hard booting the phone using both up - down keys and power key (other options are to clear the cache, or wipe the data..)
That actually happened to me while testing out Bean Stalk(which btw AWESOME ROM). It would do a Random Reboot and continuously do that every 2 minutes or so. The way I fixed it was by doing the following steps:
1) Power off your phone. If unable to power off, remove and reinsert the battery.
2 )Press and hold between both Volume keys and the Power key at the same time until the phone vibrates, then release ONLY the Power key.
3)Continue holding the Volume keys until Samsung appears on the screen. Then release both volume keys.
The recovery menu will display.
4) Press Volume down to move to option 3, Wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Home key to accept.
5) Use Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate in the menu and select Yes- Delete all user data.
6)Navigate to highlight OK and press the Home key to select.
7) Select Reboot system now.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING INSIDE YOUR SD CARD AS WELL! SO DO A BACKUP BEFORE ERASING EVERYTHING!

Could it be a battery issue? I mean if its not software, it might be hardware. Please check if the battery is fine? If you could elaborate the steps you took or the update process you followed, that would be great.
Don't worry we will definitely figure this out, i know how sad it can be when you are without your phone.

No. Surely it is not about the battery. Battery is full and hold the charge pretty well. As I mentioned I was re-installed the original ROM of the phone and there was nothing much to say about this procedure. After reinstalled the original rom the phone works but the problems is still same (rebooting after 2 minutes), before the the phone didn't work and just was in the updating stage but I guess the time of the updating file was also about 2 minutes.
I believe this is about the software than the hardware issue. I am thinking that I may want to install the newest ROM to see it will work or not but I am in the middle of some works right now and have no time for it. So I am just wait to see if there is anyone had similar issue and follow their instruction. Thank you you all.
I am sure you either have hardware issue or in most circumstances it is a user issue.
Is there any possibility you have not read everything or something you are not understanding?
Those of us responding do so because our methods are tried and true. Nobody else is having this issue.
I just ask is it possible?
Have you confidently tried all suggestions with no shortcuts? Even the smallest deviation can lead to the biggest problems

Here is a suggestion:
Please go to stock rom. After Odin restarts the phone...do not touch. Let the phone sit there for a little bit. Then if it restarts u might need to format your internal sd card after formatting system, data, cache and then install rom.
I had to flash it

factory reset did not help me with this...I ended up having to flash CM 10.1. Its the most stable custom I have used on this phone yet....
