Hi guys. I have a really weird problem especially cause I have successfully done ruu.exe many times without any problems. But now my evo won't boot even after ruu.exe finished succeffully, have tried multiple times. Just to mention that months before I did this ruu, I've installed a custom kernel "MiRaGe" and everything was good, till a couple days ago when I tried to boot into 4ext recovery and it didn't boot at all, tried 3-4 times, no luck, but the rom was working fine. (I haven't tried to boot to 4ext since installing a custom kernel) Now I relocked my phone to install ruu.exe, it finished successfully, but can't boot now. I have also unlocked bootloader again and have flashed recovery and still couldn't boot to recovery. Then I relocked and did ruu.exe again, but still no luck with booting to rom. Also I've tried factory reset in bootloader after finishig ruu.exe and the same thing.
S-ON

Hboot 1.53.0007
Radio 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed

Please help, I need my phone really bad. Thanks.

Well, go into fastboot and unlock the bootloader again, install 4ext recovery (if you cant find the img file I can help you) and install any rom based on sense which will work on hboot 1.53.

Yeah and I've tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" command to boot to recovery, it was success but again the phone restarts. And just to mention that I've also tried cwm recovery but the result is the same.
I suppose that my evo is a true brick now :/

Try 4ext recovery, fastboot install recovery 4extimg.img and after that reboot into recovery. If it enters recovery install a close to stock ics rom, with 4ext smart flash enabled or extract the boot.img from the rom and install it through fastboot (fastboot install boot boot.img).
I can provide you the latest 4ext recovery img, pm me if you need it.

Already did that with 4ext and cwm but none of them won't boot to recovery, but for the rom, i did ruu.exe after flashing recovery (that won't boot) and after relocking, then I unocked bootloader and flashed boot.img from the same ruu.zip, but no results, bootlooping. I think nothing can be done, it's a brick.

You flashed the ruu with the exe though windows or through sdcard? Did you try to remove the sdcard? Try fastboot wipe or format recovery before installing the new img.

i was able to successfully unlock bootloader, was able to flash a rom successfully, used that rom for a good couple days. then i decided to try a new rom InfectedROM Eternity™ | RLS_1.5 | NIGHTLYS | 3.0 & 3.5 | XE BEATS |(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277431&highlight=stock+radio), so i went into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, system. then i flashed the new rom, new rom loaded but stuck in that roms boot screen.
i went back to recovery wiped everything out again, installed the 1st orig rom i installed, now it just loads to the htc boot screen, & every 30sec or so the htc boot screen would go off & come back on. i went to recovery wiped everything again, did nandroid restore, same results, any suggestions?
what im using:
unlocked bootloader
s -on
hboot 1.50
using teamwin recovery v2.0

Did you apply any tweaks or different kernels? was your kernal that you are on now compatible with the rom that you had put on? The recovery your on, r you on 2.0 or the second releaese of 2.0?
You could try to reflash your recovery and then try to nandroid back. Or try a different kernel and or different rom and go from there. Kind of hard to diagnose bc not sure of exactly what you have done completely. If all else fails, search for the ruu and re apply the original rom and re root.
From my guess, it sounds as something that was applied didn't apply right. Again, not sure on all the details.. I know its not much to go on but good luck on it.
Look at the bright side, your obviously not bricked and if you have to re apply the original and start over, its not that bad. Just a little time out of the afternoon.
only update i did was the rom
tried about 2 more diff roms, still same issue
hmm.. i also choose the "system format" in twrp, would that have done some damage?
Are you using fastboot to boot into recovery? If not, and you're hboot 1.5, then that's your problem.
And wiping system wouldn't cause any issues as long as you flash a new ROM after wiping the system, before you reboot.

ah ok i manually go into hboot with the down volume + power. did "fastboot reboot-bootloader" into bootloader, wiped out everything & reinstall rom, still same issue.
Try extracting the boot.img from the zip file containing the rom and flashing it with with fastboot binary. If you have S-ON, CWM can't flash the boot partition so you'll get bootloops with any rom that needs a custom initrd.gz. You need to manually flash the boot partition.

Yea, do adb reboot bootloader, and then do fastboot boot recovery.img.
You will need to make sure that you have a copy of your recovery.img in the folder that you are working out of when you issue the fastboot boot recovery.img command

Okay, I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do, I get stuck in a boot loop after installing a rom. Extracting the boot.img and flashing in fastboot doesn't do a thing. My nand backups don't work either (get stuck at restoring boot).
Don't have any problems installing recovery and gaining root. I'm at a loss here. I really want to get my MIUI on!

Are you booting your recovery from fastboot? Fastboot boot recovery.img. If not, boot.img won't flash. It's not necessary to flash the boot.img separately, just boot your recovery from fastboot and you'll be good.

Yup, definitely booting recovery from fastboot.
I had the same problem try to install new recovery VIA fastboot an wipe data/factory reset then flash new ROM u should be all set to go

it sounds like you didnt get a full copy of that recovery or one thing is you may have not let the file fully transfer and write itself to the card... try it again and post the size of the file youre using as cwm file
have u tried
fastboot boot recovery.img (rename cwm to recovery.img for ease)
from fastboot-usb mode .. afaik you can flash a whole rom+kernel enetering cmw from that command

that looks to be it right there... when using fastboot usb and you go to flash the recovery partition with that image try typing this in
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that should flash the new recovery image to your phone then try

I'm on 4ext right now but the guys says the best is install through the pc or you will end in a bootloop. I tried with flash gui but the phone went in a bootloop as some guys said.
Make a nandroid first. Then wipe cache & davlik cache and then flash the zip.

boot recovery through fastboot using "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" and flash the kernel.
But IMO , if that kernel didnt worked with Flash Image GUI, it will not work with "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" either. Just try and post the results.

I have a friend and he showed me the fully working kernel on stock ROM for 2.17 @2.1 ghz!!! Quadrant rises up to 5200+ and antutu up to 8300+. I'm running meanrom right now but Idk if that matters. Also one explanation is that the kernel he gave to me was a wrong one.
From my experience I used the GUI app and thats when the problems started using that app I lost my boot.IMG and that causes the bootloop just flash the Rom the normal way and if you want to flash a different kernal you can just make sure you flash the kernal before rebooting for the first time

I believe Goo Manager requires the phone already be rooted, as does the 4EXT app which installs that recovery, and it sounds like you aren't rooted yet. You won't be able to root your phone or flash a custom rom until you have installed a custom recovery.
Make sure you are in the bootloader on your phone with "fastboot usb" showing before you try to flash a recovery.img. It's also good to confirm that your drivers are installed correctly and your PC can see the phone by issuing the "fastboot devices" command, which should give a response with the serial number of your phone beginning with "HT". Once you have your initial custom recovery installed and you root the stock ROM or flash a pre-rooted ROM, you can change recoveries with apps like 4EXT and Goo Manager.

If you don't have a bootable ROM flashed, you will need to start your bootloader (remove/replace battery, then hold VolumeDown+Power until the bootloader starts) and then boot into recovery from there. Have you tried that? If that doesn't work your recovery didn't flash sucessfully and you need to try it again, perhaps with another custom recovery.

Prior to this morning, my phone was on hboot 1.40 s-off, rooted and all that jazz. Sometime today I found my phone was off and when I turned it on, it was in a boot loop. I tried flashing recovery because I could not boot into recovery, but my fastboot was also not working. I then proceeded to flash a stock rom (2.89) which relocked and updated the hboot to 1.58.
Now after unlocking via htcdev.com, I have still have hboot 1.58, but I am unlocked with s-off. The problem I am facing now, is I still am in a boot loop and cannot get into recovery at all. I have tried to flash TWRP 2.3.0.0 and cwm 4.0.1.4 with no results. I have tried everything I have thought of and searched all around, and still am stuck . Any suggestions?
I'd probably do a lot of reading here:

How did you flash the stock ROM and 1.58 recovery? If you used a PG86IMG.zip file you need to remove that from the root of your SD card before you will be able to do anything in the bootloader besides reflashing that or a normal boot, which won't work at this point.
ramjet73
I downgraded the Hboot to 1.40 and then flashed the stock rom 1.13 (because it is also is hboot 1.40) using the PG86IMG.zip. That updates fine and the phone works. However, when trying to root using revolutionary, the phone is put into fastboot, and I am stuck there until I pull the battery and given another boot loop.
As of right now, I am in a boot loop, but trying to update again to 1.13. I am just trying to find a way to get this to work and restore a backup made through cwm before all of this happened.

I can really only boot into the bootloader, but I do not have a recovery, so it just goes into a boot loop.
