[Q] help.. i cant get out of this loop!! - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

so i did something stupid i know.. i put viper 2.0.2 on without doing a full wipe, just installed it over the old viper 1.0.0.. now it just keeps rebooting.. when i try to use the power+vol down to get into recovery, it just goes to a hboot screen that says parsing..[sd zip] [1] recovery and asking if i want to start the update.. if i do, it does something then asks to reboot and when i do, it just goes back into the reboot loop.. i did try the viper boot-img-flasher 1.2.1 and when it gets into a part of the reboot, the program does see the device and does its thing, makes my phone reboot into a fastboot screen, then i do the boot.img part and it seems to work fine, then it reboots, and starts going into the loop again.. is there any way i can get to recovery so i can just do a full wipe and install the ROM again? i also tried using the current RUU and it did look like it worked once, but then just kept going into the bootloop.. so that dont seem to be working either... thanks in advance for any help.. i feel stuck...

When you wiped did you wipe system cache Dalvik cache and factory reset?

yes.. i did wipe cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset, but i dont think it did anything... i then tried to use RUU to get it back to factory rom, but it fails when it start to go install it.. hangs up with the HTC logo on the phone screen..

You need to flash the kernel in fastboot, there is another thread with the same issue, I posted a copy of adb tools and instructions on flashing the boot.img

[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?

boot loop looking for RUU 1.15.661.11

Hi,
After trying to change dpi with lcd density, my device stuck on boot loop. I have try almost everything, i have try to flash plenty of roms with their boot.img seperately. I can boot in bootloader and twrp so i guest its not bricked. Its a telus canada hox+.
Looking for stock RUU or a way to get my phone to work.
Thanks!
First download a custom ROM and see if you can adb push into the sd card. Then wipe the partition and install the custom ROM.

First fastboot the boot.img and then go to twrp, wipe system, cache, dalvik, factory-reset and then go back and install the custom ROM.
The LCD density should be stored in build.prop. how about pulling this'd file via adb alter it to the stock value and push it back to the device. Also try at least cache and dalvik cache wipes and if it's not working factory reset.

BTW which version of mesa kernel you are using
cwm just wont pop up. i had installed it before i had flashed the RealICS6 rom. and we have to install it everytime when we flash a new rom right? the mesa kernal was released a fortnight ago before the new one was made. 3.1 i think.
the stuff just poped up. it had gave me a heart attack. lets see if it boots up to rom. ill have to reinstall the rom i think.

But when i reboot im stuck on the boot animation and if i go back in recovery and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache i doesnt bring me back the my stock sense rom and still the cm10 boot animation appear and still im stick there.

Thanks.

So now i will have to flash 4ext recovery , in fastboot?
If so will it replace cwm recovery?
Now i flashed 4ext recovery via fastboot and now i cant pass the htc logo boot, and cant get in recovery neither i can access my phone
You have tried going in through the bootloader mode. Pull batt vol down and pwr at the same time

Guys i tried about everything that i could think of, i flashed 4ext recovery, after that it was getting stuck on the htc logo, so i reflashed cwm recovery and still i cant pass the cm10 boot animation,,i tried to factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik cache.
I think im stuck with a bricked phone and im on a contract , 2 years left,,it sucks a lot.
All i can do now is boot the phone in bootloader and recovery.
If you kept getting stuck at the HTC logo it meant that it was a bad recovery flash. Make sure you have a good version of the 4ext recovery.
CWM won't flash roms without S-OFF because it can't flash the boot.img (or was it the /boot partition can't remember) so flash a good 4ext
Sent from my Amaze 4G using xda app-developers app
To go back to stock, you have to restore a stock backup you made or flash a stock ruu via bootloader, wipe and reflash cm, it's gonna reboot once if you're not s-off in order to flash the kernel via smartflash.

Let phone drain battery till it switches off.Charge you phone don't switch on phone let it charge for 80% then press vol down + power key for 30 sec then phone will booted into recovery.
1)Go to wipe
wipe
cache
internal
dalvik
data
2)Go to install
select rom flash it
reboot
wait for phone to boot.This will work if you have twrp installed.
Else follow this Guide
