Hi Everyone,
I have a stock Flyer that is stuck rebooting. It never makes it past the HTC quietly brilliant white screen. It reboots every 2 minutes or so.
Here are the steps I have tried from other posts:
1. I tried going to recovery, but it just comes up with the red exclamation point after a few seconds.
2. I tried installing ADB, but it never finds the device. Granted I can't get the device to get past the spash screen, so I have only tried ADB from the white "bios" screen (I think that is called the bootloader screen)
3. I have plugged it into the wall and charged it up. It seems to charge just fine.
4. I tried plugging into my PC for 30 minutes as other posts suggested.
I have not tried a factory reset, and would prefer not to. I'm actually travelling for 2 more weeks, and can't even reload my media until I get home.
Does anyone have any more ideas?
Tell me what the white screen says. It should have your version information on it
version number

Looks like there was a firmware update today. Don't know if that caused this or not. Thanks for the help.
Did you do anything prior to this happening or just poof?
Have you ever done the s off, CM custom recovery, root?
I would think you could flash your stock ruu or s off flash recovery then flash a custom gingerbread room like lee Android

someone else said that they had a similar issue and when they took their SD card out, then it was able to boot normally

still not booting
No, I have never tried anything custom with this at all.
I don't think I've ever even seen the bootloader screen until this problem occurred. No custom recovery or root. I'm afraid I don't know what "s off" means.
No luck with just removing the SD card. It still is stuck in a reboot cycle.
The last thing I remember doing is rebooting it (by holding down the power button). A couple apps had been a little sluggish that day, so I thought a reboot would help. I rebooted and put it in my bag. I don't think it ever recovered from the reboot.
Thanks again.
go to fastboot mode and enter:
fastboot rease cache
then try to boot.
If that still fails, put the flyer in fastboot mode and run the correct RUU for your device.

I bought a used Sprint HTC EVO 3D in ebay, knowing it had a boot loop problem as described by the seller. Before buying, I researched to see if I can possibly fix the issue, and at that time I saw a few ways to do it. Unfortunately, now that I have the phone and tried those ways, my phone is still stuck in a boot loop.
This is what I've done so far:
1) Received the phone w/ HBOOT 1.5 (unlocked using HTC method).
2) I tried to flash TWRP 2.1.1, TWRP 1.0.3, ClockWork Mod 4.0.1.4, ClockWork Mod 5.8.0.1, and 4EXT RC3. The flashing seems to work as indicated by fastboot (it says OKAY after flashing).
3) I tried launching the recovery via fastboot command line and also tried launching recovery via power cycle while holding volume button down. Neither method allowed me to get to recovery. I would see the HTC logo, and then boot loop.
Other things I've tried:
1) Relock the phone.
2) Run the latest RUU (Sprint 2.17.651.5). I also tried the PG86IMG version. Flashing seems to succeed either way. But when I reboot, boot loop is still there. ROM doesn't boot.
Other things I've tried:
1) With the relocked phone, I did the HBOOT 1.4 downgrade and was successful downgrading.
2) I ran the RUU (Sprint 1.13.651.7) after the successful downgrade as described in the downgrade method so that I can try the Revolutionary S-OFF if my ROM boots.
3) The RUU succeeds, but the phone is still stuck in boot loop. ROM doesn't boot.
Again, the only thing that seems to work is fastboot commands. Adb commands don't work since the ROM doesn't even boot up.
I'm not sure if there's anything else I can do with the phone. I'm thinking now this may be a hardware issue. But before I send it in to HTC, I'd like to get opinions from the experts out there to see if there's anything else I can try.
Thanks!!!
none
Try to plug it into your computer, open a command prompt and type.
"adb reboot recovery"
Just like you see it, that should get you into recovery so you can flash a new rom onto it. And if you can swing it, by a new one next time lol
As stated above, adb commands won't work since you need a bootable ROM in the first place.. My EVO 3d reboots right after the first HTC logo pops up.. I've also tried launching recovery via fastboot command line and via power cycle and holding volume down button and selecting recovery. Both methods just reboots the phone and reboots over and over til I pull the battery out.
exact same problems, any help?
i have the exact same problems as Alpine Man.
tired everything, and i was hoping that if i downgraded to hboot 1.4, everything would be ok in terms of bootloops, but no =[
Can anyone shed light on this, software issue? hardware issue?
Anyone have a solution for this? or just send it to htc/
Have u tried installing new custom Rom?
I can't remember the creator's name but the file name is EVO 3d v2. I used the file to fix my bootloop. It's actual use is to relock ur bootloader back and it also install the ruu file. But it worked for me.
It might help u too. Maybe give a shot.
Sent from my AWESOME HTC EVO 3D. Click THANKS if u find my post is helpful.
I tried everything... And nothing fixed it. I finally sent it to HTC. They replaced the motherboard and all is well again.
i've read almost every guide availble regarding bootloop problems. my sister's evo 3d has no problems whatsoever. mine won't boot for anything!! have to go to work now but i will try it when i get home. if that doesn't work i'll probably have to send it in too.
alpineman - does the 1 year manufacturer warranty transfer over when you buy the phone used off ebay? i got my phone in great condition on ebay, with no mention of bootloop problems =[ . i'm not with sprint. i bought the phone hoping to flash it to metro. do i call htc instead of sprint? i'm not really sure how this warranty thing works.
any help is greatly appreciated thanks!
HTC did not ask for receipt, proof of ownership, or whether I had an active Sprint contract. They went by the serial number to determine warranty status. This is the 2nd HTC phone I had to do this with. Both times, no warranty problems whatsoever.
that's great! if all else fails, i'll give them a call on monday. thanks for the help!
good news! Come came back from HTC with new motherboard, boots up nicely now. I haven't done anything to it yet.
Bad new: the battery cover doesn't sit nice and flush anymore, its kinda crooked
It's sooo minor i almost don't wanna bother with HTC, but physically it was mint when I sent it in.
Need help
Hi can any one help, I am trying to gain S-Off on my Evo 3D, hboot 1.49.0018, I have Htc sync driver (Sync Un Installed)
adb devices command works fiine and gives me the serial number
but any other command with adb or fastboot it stucks on waiting for device.
Please Please Help me.
Regards,
Hey, I have a somewhat major issue. I'd absolutely LOVE to be referred to any thread that exists to solve my issue. I just feel my problem is so bifurcated that no one resolution I've found quite fits the needs of my idiocy.
5 Days ago I got the HTC ONE with the Sense UI. Needless to say, I wasn't a fan of being stuck with the Blinkfeed, and lack of 4.2, so I went over to the lighter side of Android and put the Google Play Edition on my HTC ONE (AT&T).
This went well! I was running the GPE and had a blast, but I decided I wanted to return the phone and get the black one. Problem is...I needed it to look as it did out of the box, all unadulterated and such.
I attempt to restore it, accidentally delete OS, accidentally screw myself out TWRP, ontop of having NO nandroid backups.
My phone will either A. Boot to the HTC loader screen with the red disclaimer at the bottom, or B. Boot into the HBOOT screen by holding Power / Down Volume where it says ***TAMPERED*** / ***UNLOCKED***

May 3 2013, etc. <-- Lol what?
Anyways, I'm stumped as to how I go about fixing this and loading stock AT&T sense. I've tried to ADB push command ROMS on, but instead when I type ADB push I get a long list of commands, rather than any kind of success / lag of loading the ROM as other guides have pointed out.
When I FASTBOOT USB nothing pops up mounted. Upon going to USB mounted items, the Android device is recognized as a CD-ROM, not as a mass media device. When I launch recovery it goes into the screen where the phone is displayed with a green arrow circle. I've tried the ADB push command (with and without caps) and nothing occurs, both at the regular HTC boot logo and the short-lived recovery screen, only to display a red triangle with an ! mark in it's center (indicating no recovery loaded, I'm guessing).
HTC device manager doesn't recognize the device either, and suggests it's locked. This is highly frustrating and I'm sure the resolution is simple, but the problem is finding the right one(s) and subsequent steps needed.
I appreciate any and all help.

It didn't work initially, I had tried that video a couple of days ago. I did however get it to work.
I was running Windows 8, so first I needed to install drivers for Windows 8, by deleting the HTC from Device Manager and disabling driver verification. Doing this made the phone recognize in RUU.exe
The next step was an error code 155, suggesting my RUU was for the wrong model. Seeing as how the device was unlocked, I had to change directory to my android sdk and type "fastboot oem lock"
This fixed the error code 155, and the rest is history. Back on stock AT&T Sense 5.
Thank you for the link, had you not suggest it (and me attempt it a second time) I would have completely written off the method.
Hello all....so I've got an issue with a friend of mine's HTC Rezound.
The thing, all of a sudden one day, wouldn't boot back into the OS. I either hangs at the HTC screen or it gets to the beats boot animation and hangs right there. No further. This was a stock phone. So far, I've been able to unlock the phone via HTCdevs.com, and install Amon Ra's recovery. Prior to this, hboot and fastboot were all I had. Recovery from stock wouldn't boot at all, and factory reset didn't do anything either. Custom recovery let me get in, to where I could flash an RUU or 2, and still, no luck. I've wiped the whole phone, and even reformatted all partitions, then installed 2 different RUU's on it, wiping both times before proceeding. I own a Gnex myself, so I'm no newb to flashing and things.
No matter what, the phone never will boot past the beats logo. Sometimes it only makes it to the start of the "b" curling up, sometimes it makes it to the circular "b" logo, sometimes just will sit at HTC before rebooting. Phone hasn't been wet, and was working fine, prior to this. Battery has been completely discharged as well. Tried booting without the back cover on, as if this were a network bootloop, but still same issue persists. Anybody got any ideas I can try? Considering I've tried different RUU's, and still can't get this thing to rock, wondering what could be causing it. Let me know, down below!
Bump
Please help I'm going insane. I woke up a couple days ago to find my Desire 601(Virgin Mobile Canada) in a constant reboot loop. The OS (KitKat 4.4.2) almost loads up but then immediately goes black and the HTC logo comes up again. The logo never does its musical start-up that it normally does and occasionally I will see an error about an app (google+, podcast or some other) pop up for an instant before everything goes black. Any changes I manage to make in the 30-60 seconds of OS time don't stick and safemode reboots the same way.
I tried to do a factory wipe but the phone ignores the command before rebooting again. I can access the bootloader but it doesn't seem to work. I tried to clear the cache and wipe the phone from there but it just goes into the reboot cycle. I tried to unlock the bootloader but after I say ok to the terms the phone simple reboots... over and over.
I've tried a number of suggestions as to ways of doing an RUU or flashing another operating system but I keep coming up snake eyes. I thought I finally had it when I was playing in flashboot when I found the -w command but the developer mode of the phone needs to be on for that to work (apparently) and guess what... the phone ignores me turning that on... YAY.
Any and all suggestions will be appreciated, I'm at the end of my rope here. Oh and the best part is its like a week out of warranty... hows that for timing.
My Bootloader screen is as follows:

Any tips would be appreciated. Really pisses me off this phone has done this, definitely not amused at all. Is there some way to format the phone and start from scratch if developer mode isn't enable and the phone is Locked/S-on?
Thanks.
Still no luck with the boot loop phone(still looking for suggestions tho) but I've started messing with an identical phone I have. I've unlocked it and rooted it with twrp/supersu. Now I'm looking for a compatible JellyBean rom (I hate KitKat so far) or maybe a Lollipop rom (haha). Can anyone explain to me if I need a desire 601 specific rom or can a stock (nexus maybe) rom work fine? I'm very new to this (shocking I know) so I'm not sure what's what. Will any WWE rom work on virgin mobile? I assume it will. I would prefer as close to a stock android as will possibly work with my phone as possible. Again any help is greatly appreciated.
Remove the battery then put it back in ur phone
Hello all! I know this is an old issue and the phone that I have is as old as life it's self but I hope that I can find some help here! I know there are sever threads covering this issue but I have not found any that covers the ENITRE issue that I am having.
Okay, now for my problem....
Of course my phone died (battery). I put it on the charger and powered it up. The phone stuck on Sprint screen for several days. This is the second time this has happened. The first time I was unable to use recovery but I was able to do a factory reset. THIS TIME I am unable to do anything. On factory reset, the phone goes to green icon and then it turns into the red exclamation. Same thing with recovery. I have tried the wipe/factory reset...I get an error there "E:can't open /cache/recovery/command" and I get that on all options in Sys recovery menu. I have read several threads on using fastboot but I have learned that there is more to it that plugging in the USB and recovering the phone.
To help answer some of the questions here are the details on the HBoot menu:
****Locked****
Shooter XC Ship S-On RL
HBoot - 1.58.0000
Radio - 1.09.00.0108
OpenADSP - v02.6.0226.00.0217
eMMC-boot
The phone has never been rooted and everything is stock.
I have seen that it can be recovered through Hboot menu but I'm not deep into this side of things so I will need detailed instructions if possible. I have an HTC Evo 3d and my PC is Mac OSX.
Same problem
I was about to post about my problem, but yours is very similar and like any good forum go-er I checked to see if there were any recent problems like mine.
I am running
**locked** shooter s-on hboot v 1.58 eMMC -boot from may 17, 2012.
I have never rooted the device or tampered with it in any way. I thought about it, but got a newer phone.
I recently got into computer programming and wanted to see what can be done with this old tech with still relevant hardware.
after starting the device it got into the OS , took me to my homescreen like normal then failed horribly after 10 seconds, once i slid the ring up.
it then got stuck at HTC screen, so i tried the bootloader, which works, so i went for a factory recovery. get the red triangle, so i look into rooting.
turns out that if i hadnt checked usb debugging and unlocked already, i cant get in to do anything. is this a soft-brick hard-brick case?
i feel there is hope, but the lack of response to OP after this time leaves me disappointed. I've spent many hours trying to find a solution to this problem, but it is way beyond me.
i tried finding signed copies of PG86IMG.zip for hboot 1.58 to no avail, only option is RUU which won't find the phone on windows 10. drivers are out of date, perhaps.
Installing linux now to hopefully get access to that file system.
Would really appreciate the help, devs. this is a great device would be a shame that NOT tampering with it would leave me and OP with a brick.
thanks for reading and thanks in advance for consideration and advice.
dunno, maybe try this

virgin evo 3d has no downloadable current ruu to flash, and you guys are s on which won't let you flash older ruu to reset your system. which makes it difficult to fix.
