Help, I installed a ROM on my brothers phone awhile ago and now it wont boot at all. He pulled the battery when it wasn't booting past the splash screen, now it won't even boot to the splash screen. It was fully charged now it's as if it were completely dead. Cobra Rom on a GSM EVO.

Did you do a full wipe? (system, data, cache, dalvik) Try booting into the bootloader. (Power+volume down) If you can do that, get into recovery and wipe everything, then re-flash the ROM.
I know this sounds crazy, but try pulling the sd card out and then try to boot. Mine sometimes won't power on until the sd card is out. Then I power it back down, pull the battery, reinsert the sd, and it boots fine.

Thanks, got it working. Just pulled the battery and held the power button for a few seconds put the battery back in and it booted right up. Strange.
Are you on old version of twrp?

So I was about to flash a new ROM, wiped data and cache, formated /system, and then remembered that A05PTH3ORY says to get a gps lock before flashing. Not thinking about what I had done I rebooted and now I can't get back into recovery to restore any of my backups. Google tells me it should be power + vol down but it just sits at the HTC splash. Any advice?
You didn't do anything to recovery so it should still be there. Completely turn off the phone (batt pull if need be). Then from a completely off state, hold Power+VolDwn and you will be presented with hboot. Select Recovery and voila.
I guess pulling the battery was the magic trick. Once I did that I just realized I needed to delete the pg05img.zip and now we're back in business. Thanks very much!

Battery pull, make sure your radio file is not hidden on
SD card.
Just got a new EvoLTE, it's rooted, unlocked, S-Off and has TWRP. I wiped the cache and the Dalvik and tried to install Paranoid Android. My phone boots up to the Rom Logo but is stuck. Am I missing something? How do I boot into recovery since this phone doesn't have a removable battery?

Hold the power button down until it does a hard shut down. Then hold volume down and power and it should put you into hboot and give you the option to select recovery.
Once in recovery you will want to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache X3 (just what i do)
then do a factory reset and system reset
Than flash rom and see how that goes.
Worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch.

NP! Glad I could be of assistance!
Okay, ran into the same issue trying to install a battery mod. Stuck on the boot animation again. Dow I wipe x3 and try to re-install the mod do I have to start from scratch again?

Did you flash battery mod from sense on aosp rom? If yes, then you have to start from scratch. You have to be more specific on what mod you flashed. You have to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing any mod.

Was out hunting today and my phone randomly shut off, when I charged it and turned it back on it wouldn't boot past boot animation, I've gotten home and tried it with OEM charger and it won't get past boot animation.
Was unlocked and running Beans v2 and I have TWRP installed.
Please help? Preferably without wiping data.
Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping cache or repairing permissions?
No, how do I do so?
edit: like how do I boot into TWRP ? I tried home + volume down + power but it booted into the download mode.

Weird, I am also running beans v2 and TWRP and I just had the exact same problem.
I haven't made any changes to my system in weeks and it has been running perfectly.
Today, it rebooted on its own and stuck on the boot animation. I restored a recent TWRP BU and it runs fine again but who knows what happened??
So I just restarted my phone after doing nothing particular and it just will not boot. It gets to the Samsung screen with the Unlocked Lock that says 'Custom' and it just freezes there. I pulled the battery and boot again, nothing. I booted into recovery and wiped it all and re-flashed the bebloated ROM, still won't boot. Anyone have any other suggestions???

sounds stupid, but try whiping it like 2-3 times in a row and then reboot
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 and let us know. I have the very same issue with my phone but ended up giving up and getting verizon to replace it but would really like to know if this works.

Take out the SD card and try a reboot...if that doesn't work.....its odin time.

same problem
I have the same problem. The only rom I can boot is slim bean.
i have had this happen to me and the only way i was able to fix was to odin back to stock grab this

Hey guys, sorry it took so long for me to get back. After 3 wipes I was able to get everything back to stable and it has not locked up like that again. Thanks for all your suggestions, I may need them again someday haha.
damn
basically have the same problem but i have a stock rooted backup in twrp... (which i have to restore once a day).... every time the phone dies or or battery comes out, there no way of starting without wipe and restore, and even then it doesn't let me boot into twrp until a few tries also once in a while my twrp asks for a password, which ive never put on.. so anyways if theere are any new suggestions id be happy to try them out
So last night I rooted my phone using the All in one toolkit. Flashed hyperdrive rom and after getting everything setup I went to bed.
Some apps were kind of freezing this morning so I tried to boot into recovery and it wouldn't let me. It shows the loading recovery at the top then it just boots my phone up. The only way I can get into Recovery atm is by using the all in one toolkit. Anyone had this issue before? I wipe cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions. Still can't boot into recovery without the toolkit.
if you can get into recovery by typing adb reboot recovery in cmd then maybe your finger may be slipping when holing the buttons to boot into recovery.

Hold power + volume up, right when you feel it vibrate, let go of the power.
Yeah I tried all that. I ended up having to wipe everything and flash my first back up when i rooted my phone.... Thanks for the help thought.
I have the same issue. Stock, rooted, TWRP... I can use adb reboot recovery, but using the hardware buttons doesn't work. Any help is appreciated!
