Hello all, first poster here and i wish it were under better circumstances...
I found a thread earlier tonight for Cyanogenmod 9 ICS for my Evo 3d and it installed perfectly, rebooted and now it just gets to the HTC screen and reboots itself over and over.
I tried holding down and the power button and i can get to H-Boot, but selecting recovery or factory reset just sends me to fastboot which is just the options to reboot or power down.
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
please? anyone? i'm desperate!
Are you CDMA or GSM?
Also what Hboot are you ?
What happens when you try your recovery? Does it go back to hboot? Have you read through the thread that you got that rom from? To check to see if the OP has a workaround for it?
hey thanks for replying, currently using:
HBOOT 1.40
CDMA
If i select recovery or factory reset, it shows me the HTC screen, vibrates and sends me to fastboot. Yeah, I read that thread and I didn't see anyone that was having the same problem and I can't post and ask because I'm a new user.
What recovery are you using? I would mount the sdcard to a computer put a update .zip with the recovery on it, boot into bootloader and let it do its thing,
we are android, android is us

Hey guys..
ill start with saying that I have rooted and installed custom roms on Legend, Hero and Nexus one. This thread is about a GSM Hero that isnt rooted and never was rooted.
I cannot boot my hero after updating. When I start it normally I only come to the screen where it says HERO with white text on black background. I cant get any further than that.
When I do a factory default same thing happens. only get to the HERO logo at startup.
The only mode I can get the phone into is fastboot.
So how can I get this Hero to boot up normally again?
My thought was that I probably should be able to install some recovery through fastboot then boot the phone into recovery and install a zipped ROM through there but I get not allowed whe I try with "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img" because it isnt rooted.
Is there anything else I can do via fastboot to get it running again or do you have any other way I can try?
Thanks in advance!
Run a HTC RUU when in fastboot to return back to stock again.
PS.... Things like this need to go in GENERAL or QnA next time. Thanx
So I unlocked using the HTC method, and then rooted the phone. I downloaded MIUI for Evo 3d, I went into bootloader (volume down and power) and I installed MIUI. So apparently I really messed up, and now I'm stuck in MIUI bootloop. I have no way to get back into Android.. I can't even use my phone at all. I remove the battery, put back in then hold down volume down and power. I get into the menu and choose recovery but it just boots back into the MIUI thing. How can I get back to android? I'm really worried here Did I mess up beyond repair? I'm freaking out.. I've posted on a few forums but no one has gotten back to me yet. I really hope someone here knows what to do, thanks.

If you're on hboot 1.5, and did not follow these instructions, then that is why. Follow that and you should be good.

I did use these instructions. Should I just go through those again?
Your obviously not following the instructions. hold volume down and power.. then go into fastboot. Plug in your phone and now it should say fastboot usb. From the command prompt navigate to the folder where you have teh fastboot and adb files. then type fastboot boot recovery.img
Recovery being the name of the recovery file in that folder "CWM****.img. Once you do that it will boot into clockwork recovery giving you fill access to write to the kernal. Now you need to flash the ROM of your choice.
I followed your steps. I am now at the teamwin recovery screen and menu. I went to my nandroid backup and am now installing this. I hope it works. I appreciate you help by the way and you were right, I guess I did overlook the step you mentioned
Hello all!
My HTC evo 4g lte will not boot into recovery! I recently flashed CM 10.0 and am now trying to boot back into TWRP recovery but with no such luck. I have tried all of the standard procedures (i.e. turn off, hold volume down and power...and reset to recovery via CM) and none of them seem to work. The phone just gives up and boots normally. I need to flash gapps but can't! Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

are u s-on or s-off? my quess your s-on
Correct...I am s-on at the moment.
is there an easy way to go S-off using a mac or is that even necessary?
s-off makes thing alot easier.. dont think u can on a mac tho?? i mite be wrong.. check the dirty racun thread out.. i kno on aosp rom if your s-on u have to flash the kernel spearate.. that mite be messing u up.. i would try and get s-off if i was u..
Best bet would be to run a copy of ubuntu live distro and following the directions for dirty racun
if your S-on it does depend on whether which hboot your running. i was running 1.12 hboot for the longest time without any problems. i just kept flashing and flashing no problems. if your on 1.15+ then yea s-off does help because you can flash stuff more easily.
as to your not being able to enter Twrp have you tried fastbooting and re installing TWRP? thats probably a last ditch effort though.
When your turning it on and holding the volume down button does it enter the boot menu and you just select recovery and it just doesnt go into TWRP or can you not even get into the boot selection area?

Try to boot to the bootloader first. Then select recovery. To get to the bootloader, hold power button down until screen shuts off, then hold down power plus volume down until bootloader screen comes up.

Thanks for all of your replies! I can get into bootloader although it is through a round about way...I have to first restart the device...let it start the rom and then hard reset it while holding volume down. Once in bootloader I am still unable to get into recovery. I have managed to get into recovery on a one time basis by re-flashing TWRP...however this only works once before I am unable to get back into recovery mode.
I do have Hboot 1.19...and I am guessing it is more difficult to get s-off with that new of a version but I will look into the dirty racun thread...
thanks again guys...any more direction would be appreciated!

So, back in da bootloader, what happens if you select recovery?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
It acts like its going to continue on into recovery but then gives up and boots like normal...I also noticed that my mobile network no longer works...perhaps thats a separate issue. I need to look into it a bit further...
Hi, i was trying to install a custom rom , (king kobra 3d 1.6) and after i installed my phone went into a boot loop and would just restart every time i tried to boot. When i hold vol down+ power i can access hboot but if i choose recovery my phone just reboots and goes into a boot loop again. Ive searched all over the internet but couldn't find anyone with the same kind of problem. Can someone help me, i just started using android not long ago so im a complete noob at this.
Things ive tried...
Using another battery/charging from a computer
doing a factory reset from hboot but this didnt work and my phone just rebooted.
ps ive heard you can do something with hboot to get recovery back but ive no idea what to do.
Any help would be really appreciated thanks.
By the way my device is S off

Plug up to the computer and put it in fastboot usb, Download you a recovery and rename it to recovery put it in a directory with fastboot and open a command prompt
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery recovery.img"
That should fix you up.
The fastboot recovery flash will work if you can do it properly. You could also drop the recovery.img into a zip file, call it PG86IMG.zip and toss it on the root of the sdcard, then flash it via hboot, you'd need a SD card reader or another device to copy the zip image there, but same outcome.
last night all of a sudden my evo just powered off and when i try to reboot , it wont reboot from power button, I can only get it to reboot from bootloader, and the after a few minutes it will shut down again. ive managed to keep it on long enough to try installing a nand. ..no luck still does same thing when the boot loader is loading it scrolls down and says no image installed / wrong image .. so i installed twrp again hoping that would work .. i tried wiping cash /dalvic ... and also factory reset and flashing rom again .. it happens on any rom so its not the rom anyone, have any ideas? .. im lazy panda s-off on cm 10.2
Make sure your recovery is up to date. If you don't have a ROM on your phone to flash, boot into recovery and mount storage and install a ROM from your PC. Do a full system wipe from recovery (not just a factory reset), then flash a ROM like normal. Also, the "error" in the bootloader where it says "Wrong image or no image" is normal-the bootloader is looking for a PJ75IMG.zip on your external SD card, so unless you have one, you'll get that message.
If all else fails, I would run ViperRUU. It will take your phone back completely stock, unrooted & S-on. You can then HTC Dev unlock and run Moonshine to get S-off again. You can run ViperRUU from the bootloader. Just follow the instructions in the OP. The link to VipeRUU is below.
