Ok I have a problem I flashed bulletless Rom 2.5 like I always flash roms I rebooted my phone into recovery (CWM touch) did a factory reset/wipe then I flashed the rom and everything went great I rebooted my phone and the rom booted and I went through the set up. I didnt really like the rom so I rebooted the phone with the advanced power menu into recovery but when I rebooted the phone it just hung at the white HTC screen so I thought no big deal I'll reboot the phone into bootloader then Recovery and try flashing it again but when my phone boots into bootloader and I select recovery I can see a quick glimpse of the recovery screen then the phone reboots and just hangs on the white HTC screen again??????
I tried reflashing the CWM touch from fastboot but that didnt fix it
So I tried flashing the regulat CWM recover from fastboot but still no go
Then I tried to flash TWRP recover and when I boot into that I can see the splash screen for it but then the phone reboots and hangs on the white HTC screen
Does anyone know why this happened and how I can fix it please dont tell me that my phone is bricked
PPlease some one help

I had same issue when I tried CapAlpha ROM.
Your phone isn't bricked.... Just soft bricked.
Just restore a previous backup from hboot>recovery.... Make sure u restore using the same recovery you used to backup with... Just to be safe. That may mean flashing a new recovery through fastboot.

basically i flashed a rom and this rom ws working fine until it started to reboot everytime i chargd the phone then it would boot loop for like 30min and finaly go in to the rom.. ive tried to access the recovery to switch roms but it just bootloops.. onlything i can go is to bootloader.. i was looking for a stock rooted
P0g5?? file to flash in bootloader but all i can find is mr2 and its in multiupload which is not working for me.. can anyone please give me a working link or answer... and the last option i would hate to do is completely restore to stock and root allover again.. i want to restore to stock rooted/s-off.. not stock rooted/s-on.. please help anyone....
Can u download a new recovery, rename, then flash in hboot possibly?

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

I went to OTA update MeanRom from 3.1 to 3.2 and after the rom install and reboot my phone kept rebooting, I waited for about 45 minutes just make sure it wasnt going to take.
I then used fastboot to install my last recovery however, the recovery install froze at installing /system for over an hour. I had no choice but to try and reboot as none of the buttons worked. I am now stuck at the HTC screen and can not get into fastboot or phone.
I've tried searching for a solution for a day and still have had no luck. Cant run RUU as it has a USB error which I expected as the phone never boots.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am/was on latest radio/firmware/s-off.

Did you do the restore from recovery (TWRP) or did you use fastboot? I ask because fastboot isn't typically used to restore from a nandroid backup, so just trying to understand your description. Do you have adb on your pc?

Gotcha...then this is very strange. Once you have adb installed, try plugging the phone into your pc, power it on and when it's at the HTC screen try the "adb reboot recovery" command and see if that gets you into TWRP. I've never tried using adb from that screen so not sure if the phone is capable of communicating at that point, but worth a shot...

That's what I was afraid of...the only other thing I can think of is to maybe try flashing a new boot image, but you may have the same problem you had with adb in not being able to communicate with the phone. What you would need to do is pull the boot.img file out of the MeanROM zip, put it somewhere on your PC, then with your phone plugged in open the command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path_to_boot_img>boot.img
It's basically the same process as installing a new kernel on the new hboot version, which is outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867
Typically you have to be in the bootloader for this, but it's worth a try from the HTC screen. I've been successful with the fastboot command when adb does not see the device, so may work in this case as well. If not, then I'm out of ideas. Since you can't get to the bootloader, you should be able to take it into sprint or best buy without them knowing you tampered with it. Just tell them you took the latest OTA and the battery died during the installation or something. Hopefully they will exchange it, but you run the risk of getting one with the new hboot and losing S-OFF Better than no phone at all though, I suppose...
Not too sure if u have a recovery installed but regardless you should be able to simulate a battery pull by holding power button for 10 seconds or until the captive button lights flash 12 times I think. When the phone powers down press and hold volume down only and you should boot into boot loader. From here you should have a better chance of using adb or fastboot or recovery if you have twrp installed. If you can get to boot loader you have options especially since your s-off.
Good luck man

I rebooted and it keeps getting almost to setup then reboots. Should I try an RUU again? If so what version should I use?

That's good you can get into the bootloader, as previous poster said, you have a lot more options. I would save RUU as a last resort. See if you can flash a different ROM, like viper 4g or clean ROM. Or maybe an older version of mean ROM.
Sent from my EVO LTE
That's odd that after a full wipe mean ROM won't boot. Wasn't there issues with mean ROM if your recovery wasn't up to date. I would do a full wipe and try to restore a nandroid. Someone with more knowledge than me can defo help you . You can access bootloder, you have a recovery installed so you should be fine.

Hello, so recently I tried to get S-OFF on my Evo through JuopunutBear. Something went wrong and I (mistakenly ) unlplugged the USB cable. Now my phone only boots up onto Bootloader. I can't access the recovery nor can I access adb. The only thing that works is fastboot. Can someone please help me? I have no idea what to do and after hours of searching, nothing like this has ever happened before I assume. I'm sort of a noob. I have adb installed and can use it but I don't know what commands to enter or what files to download or what. Is there any way I can reset my phone or get out of this bootloop? Thank You guys!

I have finally gotten to my recovery, but that did not help. I've cleared EVERYTHING. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop where when the phone boots up it goes straight into JBear phone image with the arrow.

Thanx for the help guys! Well, I fixed the bootloop and screen by flashing the boot.img. That got me stuck in an HTC logo bootloop, but I WAS SO HAPPY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER SEEN A BOOTLOOP THAN THIS. Well, since I knew how to fix this, I just flashed a stock ROM, and from there installed TWRP recovery and from there flashed a custom ROM (rooted, deodexed, stock, since I still don't have S-OFF). Now I'm just restoring my apps from Carbon( Helium) and getting some new themes. Thanks Guys!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Just a heads up. The Evo V 4G seems to operate better when 4EXT recovery is used!

I had to reset mine to stock, relock it and return it on warranty, apparently there is a known issue with the sim card slot or tray or something. On my third now, debating whether to unlock and try again. No matter what I flashed on it, RUU, stock roms, anything, I couldn't get it back working right. Always had the roaming. New sim card didn't work either.
So your gonna have to do some work to get it back to stock and proper relocked, and then request a new phone from verizon.

I to have the triangle
Are their any current threads on how to ruu back to stock?
I also have the triangle and was told flashing back to stock would fix it I guess we'll see lol
The thing is I get the triangle but I got it back today by messing around with the sim card.. IMO this seems like an issue with the sim slot.. If u go back to stock let me know how that goes.. As of now I have 3g but no 4g and honestly I haven't had 4g on this phone since I got it 3 days ago
Edit... Just replaced my sim .. Good to go now make sure u try that b4 giving up

I've tried replacing my sim with no luck. Is there a step by step guide to return to s-on with the moonshine method?
Ruu back to stock, I had the same issue and had to do this to get it working again. You do NOT need to go back to s-on to run the ruu, but you do need to be running the stock hboot, so if you are on eng hboot make sure you flash back. .torrented has links in his signature for the ruu and the hboot

How exactly is this an issue? Seems more like a cosmetic thing. Plus, your carrier could be renting towers from another carrier causing the phone to think it is roaming while it actually is not.

I don't think this has anything to do with renting towers. The same thing happened to me while I was flashing the GPE rom for the DNA. I spent two days trying to revert back to s-on and stock out of the box. Finally figured out how to do it. Next I took the ota and the triangle disappeared and showed 4G LTE.
It means your are stuck in roaming. You'll have to adb install stock hboot. Run the RUU. Let it boot. Once that's installed, you'll have to go into hboot and do a factory reset. After that, get the two OTA's. Then install custom recovery and your back in business. I've done it three times that I remember, maybe more, with success. If the first time factory reset don't work, so it again. Promise it will work. You don't have to lock or relock...

I have the 'triangle' problem on a moonshine s-off DNA, but ADB doesn't recognize the phone, I only get "list of devices attached" and blank. It will connect in fastboot, but I've tried 3 computers, multiple usb ports, installing and updating drivers, etc. The device shows up in windows attached by usb and I can drag and drop files- any ideas? I am NOT a programmer by the way, so have been trying to rely on step by steps. Is there a way to fix it without adb? I guess even if I have to go back to box stock that will be better than no phone!
Also, the other things I've read do say you have to lock the bootloader in order to flash the stock hboot and run the RUU.
Thanks in advance-

Planedoc, thanks for that, nogo however...when I tried to manually install those I got a Windows (7) error message saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems."
I did try to install Koush's universal drivers as well via the exe he provided, and it still didn't recognize the phone in ADB, and then every time I plug the phone in it tries to install it's own drivers again, currently the DNA is showing up in device manager with device name: HTC6435LVW, Device type ortable devices, Location: Port_#0004.Hub_#0005, and driver files \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WinUSB.sys and \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WUDFRd.sys
Maybe I'll try my wifes macbook tonight and see if it shows up there.
