I have evo 3d, rooted, s-off, 1.40. Ran perfect for last 8 months using many different ROMs. Suddenly started boot looping - no boot to ROM, no recovery, only HBOOT. Took out sdcard & able to boot again-ran fine for 1 week. Put sdcard back in and then boot loop restarted. Took out sdcard but will only boot loop - tried many times: battery out, in, Power-vol, HBOOT menu, no go. I can get to HBOOT & FASTBOOT USB & have flashed new recover images (TWRP 1 & 2) & booted boot.img from ROM but still boot loops and still cannot get to recovery. Any ideas?
Sounds like you gotta run the 2.17 ruu and stock it so you can take it in
from my downgraded 3EVO
Take the SD out and try to boot into fastboot. Also make sure your phone has a full charge or as close to full as possible. Sounds like your SD maybe the culprit. If you have a spare around use it and see if your bootloops still remains.

Try CWM 4.0 should do the trick for a recovery.. Then wipe and flash.. Unless your SD card is spanked but I doubt it...

okay so here is the deal... i was running thunderstick my camera stopped working so i decided to restore to synergy. Once i did that through clockwork my phone never actually loaded up.
I hooking my phone up to the computer but cant do that because my phone stuck at htc white screen and dont have no pg1...zip thing on my sd card so when i go into bootloader there is nothing i can do i think.
So how can I get a ruu on my sd card so i can flash so i can fix my phone. I also tried restoring other roms that I had backed up in the past and still stuck at screen so if there is anyone that can help me i would appreciate. Thanks
If you have a usb to microSD card , you could just load the files directly on the card.
Get into recovery and flash a Rom. An ruu will cause you to lose root.
okay so I will decide to try both ideas. thanks guys
you can flash a rooted ruu here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29644922/Thunderbolt/Stock Rooted RUU/PG05IMG_stock.zip
now you have root.. i suspect your problem may be the last clockwork recovery 5.0.1.0 everytime i do a restore from it i have the same problem.
Same thing happening to me right now... DAMN IT....
plug in with USB,
at command prompt or from run
run this command
adb reboot bootloader
get in to recovery and mount your USB Storage
copy any RUU you like and reboot to recovery.
I'm pretty sure you can mount the SD-card to your computer in clockwork recovery too.

Hey i just PG41IMG-WIFI-light-B10 through the bootloader, at PG41IMG.zip and now its just bootlooping with the htc quietly brilliant logo.
i had s-off/revolutionary and rooted with stock gingerbread.
Im realy worryed guys have i just bricked my tablet? how can't turn it off :S nothig does anything
just got it into recovery through abd, does it recharge in recovery?
reading is fundemental.
You flashed the light version which requries and assumes you would be flashing a rom directly there after. So if you try to just boot after flashing it there is no system to boot into, thus boot loops.
Yes you should be able to charge in recovery and or power off through fastboot and charge
you just need to flash a rom and you will be good to go. Place the rom on your ext sd and enter recovery and let her rip
Just fixed it, have no idea what i did wrong, but just installed leedroids rom after getting into recovery, can someone delete this thread?

Yeah i did read it all but it would just loop and i couldn't get it into recovery/fastboot wasn't detecting it.
it was stuck with no seeable way to
But adb was detecting it and managed to get it to reboot into recovery, i already had the rom ready on the sd card.
And god that noise it makes when looping could drive you nuts.
And yeah i did read it, read more than id like to admit lol
yes the part about not getting past the splash screen i do nto believe is in the instructions. for future notice if you are stuck in a boot loop you can just hold volume down and power. it will eventually boot into hboot

yeah i tried that for ages, that was why i was so worried.
Not having a removeable battery there was no way i could see of getting out of it.
Its more luck than anything that i found the abd command to reload in recovery.
was worried it was that problem where it doesn't recharge. (yes paranoid i know)
But anyway, it all turned out fine

What happened: I've been running and liking ScottsROM's CleanRom Reborn. Today I decided to try a few things. I used the Flash Image GUI app to flash TWRP 2.0 recovery. All seemed well with that. I was able to boot into recovery and reboot back to normal with ease and no issues. So I decided to try one of the Kushdeck's ICS Alpha roms just to see what it was like (knowing I was going to go right back to CleanRom since the camera still doesn't work in the Alpha ICS roms). So I boot into TWRP Recovery and perform a backup. Once it's done I reboot and open the Flash Image GUI app and install (as per joeykrim's instructions on using this app) the Kernal from the new ICS Deck Rom then boot into TWRP recovery to install the rest of the rom. I'm up and playing with ICS in a few minutes and all is smooth. After playing in ICS for a while I decide to go back to my CleanRom (the one I backed up before starting any of this), so I reboot back into TWRP recovery and clear all my caches and dalviks and also perform a wipe. After that's complete I then chose the restore option and let it do its thing. Once that finishes (no errors reported when it finished) I rebooted. Usually when booting up on CleanRom it goes straight into the CleanRom Boot animation screen. However here's where my problem begins (continue below):
Problem: Instead of getting the CleanRom Boot Animation I get the white HTC screen/Green HTC logo and after that clears the screen goes black(but still backlit) and the capacitive buttons at the bottom stay all lit up but that's it. Nothing else happens. Tried going back into recovery and clearing all caches again and re-restoring again but it just did the same thing...
Any advice or suggestions as to what I should do next? I'm currently redownloading CleanRom Reborn (since I'm at work) and was going to just try reinstalling the rom again.
phone wont load after restoring a back up
this happen to me when i was running lee's rom and i decided to flash warm's rom and i used the g u i flash tool to flash the kernal and every thing when well then boot into recovery and to flash the rom and the flash went well also and it booted up and played around with it and decided i didnt like it and i went back to lee's rom and what do you know im stuck in a boot loop and then i found out that some how i lost my boot.img so im willing to bet you have lost your's aswell so what you have to do is what ever rom you flashed i hop you have a back up copy of the zip of that rom on your laptop or desktop and extract the contence of that zip folder and it will create another folder now with in that folder you will see a boot.img this is what you need to to get your evo to boot up you will need to copy the boot.img file into the folder that you used to root your evo should be on your c drive then open up camand promt and typ fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter and you have your evo 3d back enjoy
so my hone is HW002 ~ CDMA ~ Sprint ~ S-Off ~ 1.58.5858HBoot ~ 2.89Firmware ~ 4EXT ~ Anthrax ~ Viper3D, i tried to install cm10 and my phone got stuck in boot loop, i downloaded my hb to 1.4 and it still got stuck in boot loop, downgraded to 1.04 hb and same thing, tried to go back to hb1.58 everything seemed to install fine, but after i reload rom phone just stuck in boot loop again, dont know what to do been at it for hours and getting no where
What I would do (actually, what I did): download Ramjet's file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 . Lock your bootloader and then flash the ruu.exe (you'll still be s-off). At this point you will be stock with no bootloops.
Then, load whichever custom hboot you want, then load 4ext recovery from the zip. You should be good to flash the custom Rom of your choice.
You may also wish to backup and reformat your sd card to make sure there are no bad sectors causing the issue.

My ideas:
HBoot 1.5
Possibly was a bad download?

got it to work with stock rom got it to work with venom tried all the steps to run chads cm10 and i just get stuck in bootloop
gave it another try, and got it to work =)
step by step if your coming from hb1.58
first make sure your phone is charged (install went alot cleaner with out the phone pluged in when flashing for me)
download PG86IMG_eng_hboot.zip from here http://www.mediafire.com/?7mwc27uclw11lux (make sure to rename file to PG86IMG.zip and put in the rood directory of your sd card
make sure you download ROM-AOSP-ANTHRAX-SHOOTER-RLS3.zip if you havent already and save it to your sd card
make sure you have 4ext already installed with the current rom your running (makes life 100 times easier)
reboot phone into bootloader and let it install PG86IMG.zip it will ask you to reboot the phone let it reboot into bootloader just to make sure it changed you back to 1.04 then pull battery pull sd card and hopefully you have a micro sd card reader so you can delete or rename the PG86IMG.zip file (after you rename or delete PG86IMG.zip reboot into bootloader so you can boot into recovery 4ext)
once your in recovery (4ext) wipe everything from top to bottom except the last one which is sd card
after you wiped all go back to the main directory go to power menu and reboot back into recovery (make sure you reboot back into recovery before trying to install ROM-AOSP-ANTHRAX-SHOOTER-RLS3.zip after wiping everything for the first time)
after you rebooted back into recovery install ROM-AOSP-ANTHRAX-SHOOTER-RLS3.zip (it has its own wipe script so dont worry about wiping again) and at the end of the install it will ask you to reboot select yes
after the rom installs click on the ok/check box so the phone can reboot and done, if everything was done correctly it will boot up on the first try like it did for me after i figured it all out
want to give thanks to MasterChefChad for making the rom and the kernel, NineInchNails for helping with the install directions, and nolimit06 for archiving all the files
Thanks Todd for posting your fix. Looks like I'm switching to the eng hboot later. I've had issues of late booting any non sense Rom (bootloops at splash screen), so I'll try this.
I have had TACHYON-1.1.5 install for awhile. I rebooted my phone and I cant get into the ROM anymore. The screen is just black. I can get into recovery and reflash, but nothing happens... I cant seem to mount SD card in recovery either. Using CWM recovery.
If its easier can I just bring my phone back to bone stock? I am S-ON rooted, unlocked.

are you s-on did you fastboot flash the boot.img
Edit: And your mount issues are caused by the fact that you never reapartitioned and formatted internal sd and emmc using TWRP only

Reventech, I have a similar problem which suddenly arose on Vanir yesterday evening. I am bootloader unlocked, using vinylfreak's 2.27 hboot, and I am S-OFF. I can reflash TWRP 2.6.3.0, I can even run and get a nandroid to restore and boot, and the system works completely normally. I can make calls, connect, BT, etc. etc., but when I reboot, the phone runs the splash, then the boot animation, then sits at the black screen. I have run this now twice, completely restoring my ROM and still get hung after boot.
Utterly bizarre.
Any suggestions? Switch to Amon Ra 3.16 and try to re-wipe boot image (I know TWRP can't wipe boot) then reflash TWRP and restore prior nandroid of boot? I'm positively flummoxed.

That worked for a bit, but darn if I didn't do a Nandroid and then the unit failed to boot again. This is so frustrating.
UPDATE: Flashed new nightly and we're back in business.
