So I Have S-Off was on a custom rom and it kept rebooting. I wanted to return to stock so I locked the bootoader and was able to load the most recent Tmobile RUU. When it reboots to load for the first time I get the lockscreen I go to unlock it I get the HTC Loading screen again then it starts to reboot. Then goes to a black screen with the status bar icons showing and nothing else then after a few mins will reboot again. Has anyone seen reboot issues like this?

I've just been trying a few ROMs and whist trying to downgrade from 3.5 to 1.2 spl I found myself stuck in the bootloader white loading.. screen.
If I pull the battery it boots the ROM fine but whenever I entered bootloader or ran a ROMupdateutility to try a reflash I got this white screen.
I've searched for an answer on here with no joy and actually started this post to ask for help but I've just removed the SD card and it went straight to the normal bootloader screen and I'm re-flashing as we speak.
Just thought I'd complete the post for any future searchers.
Thanks
Mine has been stuck on the screen every time I try to re-flash (which actually has saved me from wasting a lot of time as well ....) but I did the same & now have the Bootloader.
Back to the endless routine of upgrades and downgrades then.
I tried to get Android on my HD2 which failed and now the device keeps re-starting with the white screen (with the green HTC logo) & constantly loops.
I can get into the Bootloader, I have tried a system restore, flashed it with the HTC 1.66.405.2 official ROM and I tried a custom one as well. It still keeps re-starting. I installed radio 2.08 as well.
Both these ROMS seemed to work as they went to 100% and it said it was successful but the device still keeps restarting after showing the white screen.
Any ideas or is this bricked?
Many Thanks.

have you taken out your sd card when you are doing this?
if you can see the bootloader, you are not bricked!
restart loop is very often a bent battery pin.
try to take your battery out for 5-10minutes...that could help.

SamSamuel - top man, it was a dodgy battery pin. All now working, thanks for all the help guys.
aaaaand relax.

Perhaps it is the network bootloop issue, had that issue with the first OTA, try diagnosing that:

mpmorph, let us know if your problem was same as the network boot looping issue, so we can assist others that get it with this OTA.:good:
....Sadly that is not the case. I tried to follow the instructions on that link but never managed to enter the code. The phone never got that far. The device just displays the white screen with the HTC green logo and then it dims the light a bit, and......it shutdowns, just to restart again. Removed everything, SIM card, microSD card, and nothing.
Received a replacement from verizon today, but before i send the other one back if anybody has any ideas to try.....now is the time....please?
Draw all over it to make VZW mad.
On a serious note, it would be nice if the internal sd was a real micro sd that you could remove and stick in a computer to get all of your files back.

Run the OTA RUU on it
I had the same issue with my OTA update. But Verizon won't warranty my 5 month old phone because it was not purchased on my line. Grr... Anyone that has any suggestion of how to fix it, please let me know/.

Tried it. RUU ran then on restart same thing. No go.
I think S-OFF and running a GB RUU might work, don't wanna risk getting 500 dollar spike on my Verizon bill Cuz it was hacked.
Thanks for trying guys.
I had a similar problem, if you are able, wipe everything and reinstall the update. It worked for me.
Is the stock recovery installed?
Bootloader is locked/relocked ?
Did you remove the PH98IMG.zip file from your SD card?
Did you try booting with the back cover removed?

Lol they won't bill you $500 for "hacking" your phone. Jailbreaking / rooting / etc. is all legal; the most they can do is void your warranty.

Contact HTC; see if they can warranty it if VZW won't.
I reflashed my phone last week and had 0 issues. I'm using the rom from graythewolf in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885553
Today I noticed I had bars but it didn't say anything about what type of service (3g, LTE, etc). I've had this problem before and typically putting into airplane mode and turnign it off fixes the issue. Its a minor annoyance but one I could live with. Since flashing that above rom I haven't had to do this. Awesome right?
Today the issue came back and I turned on airplane mode and turned it off, nothing happened. I tried a few more times and still would only gets bars but no data service. I rebooted the phone and that is the last time it came up. Its boot looping at the HTC white screen. I tried going into recovery and it goes right back to the HTC screen and constant reboots. I tried reflashing the recovery (AMonRa) and it flashes fine according to the response in fastboot but when I try to get into it it shows the 1st two lines of amonra and then goes RIGHT back to the HTC rebooting screen.
I have been trying to find a RUU that I can use to reflash the entire phone from the computer (tried fastboot flashzip ph86img.zip and it failed after trying). Any ideas guys. I kinda live and die by my phone but this is my 3rd rezound and this is extremely frustrating.
Yes I am S-OFF and unlocked.
Pointing me to any ICS RUU that runs off a windows machine would help immensely as I think that might get me out of what ever reboot hell I'm in.
Thanks in advance.
1st thing, take the battery out for at least 5 minutes to let everything discharge.
Pop it back in and do the power + volume down to try to get to hboot and then to recovery. Once there do a full wipe and reflash.
CM9 is going to have issues, so just stick around. If you need a stable ROM you should be on CleanROM or Neomax.

Definitely agree. CM9 is being improved greatly but its not at the state where you dont have to worry about things like toggling airplane mode to fix data or stuff like that and bugs or glitches.
Especially if your like me and expect you phone to last long and always be ready to work, definitely try another rom for now. Theres literally a ton of roms that are all awesome
I had this same problem somewhere along the line. All I had to do was the "fastboot boot (name of your recovery).img" through adb. Did a clean wipe and install and everything cleared up.

I had a boot loop issue last night too. It was strange, just looking around on Facebook, suddenly it reboots and halfway through the cm9 animation, back to HTC white screen. I could get into hboot and even recovery, but restarted as soon as I tried to wipe or nandroid restore. Had to rerun ruu and re flash cm9 and all that. No idea what happened

Hello guys, i am trying to put the Stock rom on my Evo. I am already running the RUU exe and still waiting maybe from hour and i am scared to disconect my phone from computer. Can u give me some advises what is the best to do in this situation? Thank you in advance.
did you relock before running ruu?
give us some details about your hboot,s-on/s-off etc
Has the ruu actually started running? If there is no status bar showing the progress then you should be okay to unplug. Although you can wait for it to time out which could take hours. If you unplug it can cause a certain "issue" that I'm sorry I cannot remember what it is atm, but it's nothing detrimental, but can give you a moment of panic if you aren't expecting anything. Sorry, I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. But it doesn't mean that anything will happen.

same problem
I have about the same thing going on as OP. My sprint evo 3d cdma phone froze one day so i pulled battery. Then it wouldnt boot up just stayed on white htc screen. Then got into recovery and tried to flash new ROM, wouldnt work. So i re-locked and tried flashing several sprint RUU. I get the status bar on the computer and the phone screen, but it freezes on "Sending boot...." so i pulled battery (bad idea i know but it was unresponsive) and now i cant even get into recovery or hboot anymore. Windows or linux will not recognize my device, ADB will not recognize my device. Currently stuck on black screen with HTC letters and exclamation marks in all four corners (RUU failed mode i believe). Re-locked, Hboot 1.50.0000, Radio 0.97.10.0808, S-on...
Im about send it in for JTAG but was wondering if that would even fix it. any thoughts or suggestions i would appreciate it. Thank you.
