Stuck In Bootloader - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So I wanted CM 10 on my phone, I used Flash GUI app, and flashed and tried flashing it through twrp. It reset, somethings didnt install properly couldn't catch what it didnt install. I read some misinformation online (or misinterpretation on my part) and wiped cache + davlik data. So now when I restart it goes to HTC screen then a black screen. I can still access bootloader, but I don't have a recovery file now to go off from or have no idea where to go from
I have HBOOT 1.15 with S-ON, 1.22.651.3, any ideas, or suggestions?

The kernel install didnt take. I'd highly suggest doing it via fastboot and not the app.

[Q] Help! My Screen won't work after boot-up

I have hboot 1.5 and rooted my Evo 3D using the HTC method.
Anyway my screen will work in hboot, recovery, and on the HTC splash screen, but after that it just goes black.
I know my phone is fully booting though because the notification light works when I get a new message etc, and I can swipe the lock ring and feel the screen vibrate on keypad for my pin.
I think this happened after flashing a kernel in joeykrim's flash gui app.
I've tried flashing new roms or restoring a backup in recovery but nothing works.
Considering that I still have recovery and hboot is there anything I can do?

Try wiping everything (data, cache, dalvik) then do a factory reset, then flash a ROM and boot.

I just tried that a couple times and the screen is still going black after the HTC screen
You may need to wipe more than just /data etc. Either go find a good super wipe or format /system /boot /cache and /data might as well wipe android secure on the sd card too. Most likely you have a few leftover modules from your kernel that aren't playing nice. After doing this load the rom you want on the sdcard. Then flash it from fastboot on the computer. You won't be able to use joeykrms gui since by formatting everything you won't be able to boot untill everything is replaced. Flashing through fastboot on the computer will accomplish this for you.

You shoot boot in bootloader then hit power button > connect usb > it should say fastboot usb> flash the boot.img from the rom you flashed using command fastboot flash boot boot.img ( make sure you copy boot.img in you fastboot folder) > then fastboot boot cwmxxxxxxx.img > then flash a 2.3.4 kernel not any other ( ziggy anthrax etc ) then try to reboot. If you have wiped you rom then flash boot.img from the rom you wanna flash then boot into recovey using fastboot > then flash rom.zip >then flash a 2.3.4 kernel
Sorry i wasnt able to explain clearly .....i wanna go to work
hope this helps.
Dont forget to thank if i helped you

Oh man thanks so much! It totally worked!
Am I going to have to do this same procedure every time I want to flash a rom from now on, or should things be fixed?

I don't know exactly if you have to follow same steps for different roms. Flash image GUI is to flash. recoveries and kernel. I had only used that software twice for kernel and never tried it for recovery. It has some issues with few kernels. Some work some dont. I use. the steps posted in second post of infected eternity rom thread . I don't follow all steps as all of them are not necessary.
And I think only 2.3.4 kernels work on hboot 1.50 with flash image GUI.Roms and kernels are meant to be flashed from fastboot using PC. untill we get s-off.

[Q] Help putting on different ROMs

So i am running the viper rom and it runs awesome. But i really want to install different ROMs when when i use the recovery and back up everything and then reset everything and install the ROMs zip file, it says installed complete and then i reboot from the recovery. When it is booting, it goes to the white screen when HTC in green and then reboots? So it is in boot loop. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? if so that would be great thanks
If you are in a boot loop try checking the integrity of the ROM by running md5 checksum. Re download the rom then clear davlik cache and do a factory reset in Clockwork mod an then re install zip. Remember to get back into clock work mod you hold volume down as you boot the phone.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Sounds like a bad flash. If you are s-on, I recommend you use 4ext as your recovery since this takes care of improper kernel flashes which can cause boot loops. Actually, use it if you are s-off too .
Did you do a super wipe before flashing the new Rom? If not, flash a copy of Chad's super wipe before flashing the Rom.
Sent from my PG86100
I am using TWRP recovery right now. I had clockworkmod but it seemed to not work as well. Is there a link to 4ext recovery where i can download and flash it please? Hopefully that will work
Thanks to coal686 for the recovery link in his signature.
I am still stuck with putting a new Rom on my 3d, could anyone help? It still goes in bootloop and I have tried twrp, clockwork, and now 4ext. I factory reset and do what all the threads say but it won't get past the white screen with HTC on it. Then it reboots and does it over and over. Anyone help

[Q] Rooted then flashed custom rom now stuck bootloop help

Okay I know this is a noob question so PLEASE excuse my noob-ism. Not sure if this should be in Q&A or Dev so please move to the correct section if I posted in the wrong one.
Okay, so my phone was originally 4.0.4 with a 1.19 HBOOT and 4.1 Sense. I rooted my phone, read up on a couple of threads and youtube videos regarding how to flash CM10 and from what I got if you have 1.19 HBOOT you can't just flash it using TWRP because you can't go S-OFF. Here is where I was a bit confused and think I went wrong. I read in the description of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQKOhqdPpM that if you aren't S-OFF that there is a workaround, which linked me to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29417266&postcount=1397 . So the 1st option said that it's possible to flash using Flash Image GUI to flash CM10 THEN to flash it in recovery, which I did. However now that I look closely at the pics it says only for EVO4G and the 3D. Here's where I'm at, Flashed using Flash Image GUI, then rebooted to HBOOT, then recovery, then flashed using TWRP. It looked like a success after rebooting because I seen the CyanogenMod boot screen but it's been about 25 minutes and it's just stuck there. Read up on it some more and it said that it should only take about 5-7 minutes for the first boot. I don't know what to do from here. Is there any way to still boot CM10 on my device since it seems essentially stuck at the "CM" boot screen? If not, what ROM would take me back to where I initially started off previous to trying to flash CM10 (like sense essentially)?
Once again, sorry for the noob-ism but kinda stuck here. Thanks!
I would try going into recovery and wipe Dalvik, Cache and then factory reset, do not wipe system just the 2 I mentioned and reboot, if it stays on boot anim, go to bootloader and fastboot kernel and reboot
If you have SDK or adb tools then open terminal and navigate to the folder, open cm10 zip and extract the boot image and place it in that directory, with you phone in fastboot, type fastboot devices to ensure you are connected and type fastboot flash boot boot.img it will state write time and ok, then try reboot again
hold down the power button until the phone shuts off, when it does, hold power and volume down to get to boot loader, press volume down to recovery and then press power, in recovery wip all and restore nandroid back up,,,hope you made a back up hope this helps
It's probably something corrupt in dalvik or cache, could also be a kernel mismatch but I think it's more likely phone was not properly wiped prior to flashing cmx

no problem just keep in mind that when switching roms, especially different bases (ics sense, aosp ics, aosp jb) wipe the dalvik and cache because they can easily be corrupted

Hmm...well this time I just went to recovery. Made a backup and erased, cache, dalvik, system. Did a factory reset as well (didn't do that before) and in the end did as you guys suggested. Flashed rom and then boot.img via fastboot. Thank you very much!!! :victory:
Haven't been as active lately because I've been very sick but factory reset would have been my first suggestion. If you are starting a fresh install you should always wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and then wipe system. I used to refer wipe scripts but for this phone there has been an unusually high number of users who's partitions (mostly internal sd) end up corrupt after using a wipe script. I don't know why, they are generally reliable and in most cases are better as they can wipe areas of the partitions that you miss wiping normally. If you are familiar with reformatting and you can back up internal regularly then you should try a wipe script. It's just a bit more convenient when it does work then manually wiping each partition.
Nothing works!

Okay so I did all of this and still..... doesn't work. I'm not really a phone wiz. I paid someone to root my phone before and I used the CM10 ROM, everything was fine until I tried to change my font, the phone rebooted and got stuck on the CM 10 boot screen. I went to recovery and restored my phone from September. I then went to Flash Image GUI and flashed the boot.img for CM!0. Then went into recovery and flashed CM!0 and gaaps and wiped the cache, delv cache, system and factory reset. When I rebooted I was still stuck on the boot screen. :/ I am able to restore back to September but my camera or wifi doesn't work. Anyone know how to help me?
Try flashing meanrom, it has the kernel installer and doesn't require flash image or fastboot. If you still have any issues with the camera then relock the bootloader and flash ruu. If that doesn't fix the camera then its most likely hardware failure.

Bootloop Battery Issue
I recently flashed paranoid android to my verizon GS3 but after trying to boot I got stuck in a bootloop. It ran all last night but didnt accept a charge, and now won't turn on at all. When the battery is taken out and put back and then plugged back in it comes up with the battery charging symbol briefly but then immediately shuts off again. It wont turn on in download/recovery mode either. What should I do?

Help HTC One M9 Sprint No OS iNSTALLED TWRP 2.8.6.1 No Fastboot S-On

Hello, I need help. I tried to update my phone to a new ROM and now it is only booting in bootloader and says there is no OS. I have downloaded a RUU that matched, renamed it and put it on my microsd and tried to flash it but it reboots in TWRP. I have a backup and when I try to restore it says Restore Complete Failed---E: Cannot restore System -- mounted read only. I really love the M9 and want it back up and running can anyone please help me get it back functioning? It does not have fastboot option and adb server out of date. Pretty much a noob here. I have flashed other Roms before, but this M9 is proving to be a pain. I have been researching thread after thread and still no luck. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Here is info on device:
htc_himawh1 PVT S-On

OS-1.32.651.30

Thanks I figured I will look at how to relock the bootloader without fastboot. I honestly didn't think I could install a rom because I figured most needed MM7 and I dont have that installed which is what happened when I tried to install Viper Rom
Got it working again. I had to restore only the boot and system image. After it rebooted I then restored data and it's back to normal.

i woke up today and my phone died of charge. I plugged in the charger and tried to power up my phone. It was stuck in a bootloop. So, I went into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted, and still didnt work.
I then went to wipe and did the thing where twrp asks to do a factory reset by wiping cache, dalvik cache, and data. Still didnt worl, so i took out the sd card and did it again. Still bootloops. So, i then wiped dalvik cahce, cache, system, and data. Now, my phone is stuck in the white HTC logo with red text. and twrp tells me there is no os installed, are you sure you want to continue? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS! PLEASE PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Hey did you get it to work? Just seeing this post. If you backed up your system and boot images boot into twrp and flash those copies you made before the wipes. See where that gets ya. Hopefully you got it fixed by now.

Stuck in bootscreen after rooting.

Hi Everyone,
I just followed the instruction and unlocked my bootloader.
I am in marshmallow and then used twrp to flash supersu 2.64.
When i was flashing to root twrp asked me about the partition change which i dont understand so swiped it and now i cant get past the htc one bootscreen. I have tried factory reset and wipe dalvik cache.
What do i do?

Go back and change partition to read and write in twrp (I think), sounds like you set it to read only if you are getting stuck at that screen. If all else fails I'd try running the RUU then re flashing twrp , but are you s off? I've been s off since sunshine came out (which I highly recommend) and don't know how things work being s-on. Also which version of twrp are you using?
Go read up about how twrp works , that way when you are prompted with things that could prevent you from obtaining root you will know what to do. #4 in the link below might be able to help you... but once again read all the information provided.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59745198&postcount=3
you need to update your TWRP to 3.0.0. Flash it through CMD or sdcard way, reboot to recovery, "Mount as Read Only" message swipe to right. You want it to be that way for an untouch system backup(if you wanted to do). Reflash MM ROM.
got it
The problem was twrp was asking to flash the supersu from itself even after i had flashed the su manually from twrp. i just installed badboyz and then flashed the su and did not accept the twrp option to flash supersu again and it is working again. To add more, i think i even got it dsu with the recent guide posted here which saved me few bucks. I love xda!
