So i dropped my phone today and its getting stuck on a boot loop of the HTC screen. I can still access recovery and stuff but it literally won't boot up into android.
Any ideas?
That's odd..try flashing a new rom or making a backup then wipe/restore maybe

So do I, 3 months ago, don't know how to fix the boot loop with HTC screen...
Can you connect to pc and load an ruu?
If Recovery, Then..
SO if you can get into the recovery, have you tried to wipe or do a full reset? Or even loading another ROM that you may have loaded on your SD? If no ROM, get one on that SD and give it a shot, I would have to say that anything lost is replaceable and better than no phone at all... (most important stuff is stored on SD in my world, aside from SMS)
If you are boot looping then your phone is OK, it is not bricked. You simply need a software fix. An RUU should do the trick.
Hey so I tried wiping flashing ... I got it to boot once and once the battery died it would no longer boot past the HTC screen. Also it wouldn't loop fully. It would load the splash HTC screen and then turn off again. I ended up filing a claim and am on the new phone.. sigh hboot 1.5 ...

If the phone turns on it isn't bricked. No need to replace it.

Agreed, you don't lose/corrupt data by dropping a phone. You can crack solder joins and other parts though.

How do you boot the EVO 3D into recovery? I tried the method used for the EVO 4G with no luck. I also can't find the answer anywhere.
Does fast boot have to be turned off to do this?

Setings/power/fastboot. Uncheck fastboot then it will work.

You can also simply pick Reboot off of the power menu and as soon as the bottom leds turn off, hold the volume down rocker.
If your phone starts vibrating like crazy then you held volume down too soon, but it will still go.
But yea, this is an side effect of fast boot, because the phone is doing a warm boot not a cold boot. Or of course you can pull the battery, but that can be a pain.
I got it booted into recovery and now it's stuck on a screen with a phone and a red triangle exclamation!
Crap, still stuck on this screen.... HELP

Because you don't have a custom recovery, because the phone is not rooted

OK, now I feel like a noob. I rooted my HTC EVO 4G the first day I got it, so I guess I was spoiled and I assumed backup/restore was built into the phone already.
So the red triangle upon recovery boot is normal?

Yes, its normal. If you were to return your evo 4g to complete stock, and tried to boot into recovery, you'd end up with the same result

if they can put out updates so fast..why cant they just unlock the boot loader with one of these updates...Pardon my ignorance if its harder than it seems

Because now they can update apps only without messing with the rom. These app updates don't even restart the phone so no testing from Sprint. By bot restarting I mean they don't need to install anything to the bootloader or do a rom install.

Yeah, probably a big overload with lots more people getting the phone today at Brick & Mortar stores.
just got them... still no phone on lockscreen.
Update works I can confirm.
For some reason mine just sat at 0% as well. I tried 3 times. I rebooted then tried it again and it worked.
I think you have to reboot your phone after you install it as well.
Delivered to you from my Simply Brilliant EVO 3D!
I did both updates but my phone icon is still there.....

FYI you have to reboot to get the phone icon to show on the lockscreen again....
Update puts the phone icon back in the lock screen but after you apply it, it doesn't stay UNTIL you do a RESTART then it's stays
Mine still won't download... nto sure why. Tried rebooting and using WiFi and 4G.
Hopefully I'll be able to grab it soon.

I received my Evo 3D yesterday, spent hours getting it all configured and re-app'd. I avoided the OTA, but couldn't access the Watch/Green Hornet OTA. When I read about the second fix to the fix OTA, I installed the first one, rebooted, saw my phone icon missing on the lock screen, as advertised, then went right back to settings and downloaded both the Watch and updated fix. All worked flawlessly, and now my new phone is purring like a kitten. No problems whatsoever, all is well, and even watched a bit of that Green Hornet movie in 3D. Wow. So far HTC is so much better in updating/support than Samsung (I ditched my Epic 4G for this phone). Marvelous.
Can someone who has updated please check in about phone and post the version number?
BANG! from my shooter...

I was running mlk's ics release on my evo 3d. I had hboot 1.40 and s-off. I had no problems flashing the rom and I was using it with no problems.I have been using it since it was released. No issues. Yesterday, I just went to reboot the system through the advance power menu. The phone went dead immediately, mind you my phone is fully charged. I tried going into recovery using the usual vol down + power, phone doesnt respond. I plug in the usb cable and tried it again, no luck. So I tried pressing all the buttons (power, vol up, vol down and camera button) the phone flashes the htc screen then shuts off. That is the only response I get. When I use adb devices it lists this:
"HT16FHX07713 recovery"
I can get the phone to do the same thing as mentioned above when i do "adb reboot recovery", it just flashes the htc screen for less than a second then goes off while still showing that it is charging.
Can anyone shed some light on what I can do to fix this? If you need any info, let me know and I'll try to provide what I can. Thanks
I see that you tried adb reboot recovery but have you tried adb reboot bootloader?
Thanks, that was the only thing I didnt try. Tried it just now and the bootloader just loaded up. What should I do now? I'm kind of rusty and that its been awhile since I flashed/rooted an android phone.

Sorry for the late reply, got busy. I'm sure you've figured it out by now. If it were me, I'd just flash a pg86img of 4ext (let me know if you need it) and then flash a rom.
Yes please. I do need that. Thanks

Dirty racuun s-off
hboot 1.19.2222
Recovery -twrp 2.3.3.1
rom-mean bean
Everytime it powers up i get white htc screen for about 10 seconds then black screen then back to white htc screen. i can get to bootloader but when i try to got to recovery it goes to white htc screen with red letters htc dev letters for about 10 secs then black screen and back to the white htc screen and then just loops from there. tried fastboot flashing recovery twrp 2.3.3.1 and 2.3.3.3. also fastbot erased cache and rebooted, no difference. fastboot flashed boot.img from the rom i am running (mean bean). now everytime i try to charge with device powered down, charge for about 8 or 10 secs then by itself it powers on to white htc screen and loops.
Just found out that my lil girl was playing with it and dropped it in water. :crying:
What was the last thing you did to the phone before it started acting up?
I would try and flash recovery through the bootloader using the PJ75IMG.zip method. Once you get recovery working I would do a clean install of MeanBean.

Hope you paid for insurance, if you didn't go to Sprints website and add it now. With the Evo not having a removable battery it may not have gotten powered down immediately. Also, since you've been messing with it powering on and off and trying to charge it you are probably too late. Try the rice thing, but the fact that it powers on when you plugged it in are signs of problems. Better to claim it now and hope for the best.
Yes I paid for insurance. The 150 dollar deductible seems steep. I opened the phone up looking for the sticker that shows whether it has been in water or not and I could not find one. Anyone else know where it is?

Im kind of noob at these things, So i need a bit of a walk through if one does come up with a solution.
I have a tmobile HTC Amaze 4G I bought used. And it has a problem restoring... It wont restore at all. It says, the PH85IMG is missing/ Cant open cache/recovery/command. When i try factory restoring, after it starts, It shows an andriod device on the screen with a red triangle and exclamation point in the middle. And another thing.. The phone reboots ALOT . and after it reboots, Everything i downloaded or did to the phone disapears, Like it didnt happened. And the language changes back to how he had it, And his contacts come back and everything,
What should i do?

When you get to the screen with the red triangle and exclamation point, try holding down the volume up+power button at the same time and see if anything happens
