[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerman7:
Sounds like you have no recovery or not completely rooted. You could try to put a recovery CWM or Amon-Ra file renamed PC36IMG.zip onto your sd card from your computer, put card back into phone then go in to hboot see if it will flash you a recovery then try to go into it

If that doesn't work search for a stock ruu file for the Evo, rename PC36IMG.zip, place on your card, put card back in phone, flash through hboot. This will return your phone to stock unrooted, then you try the process again

That's what happened to my phone also..It just happened out of nowhere..

I tried everything and in the end I had to file an insurance claim.

And once again, a phone running CM7 goes into this mysterious unfixable bootloop.

What is up with that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony_2018:
What is up with that, I'm about to remove this rom its not really all that. Its already messed up my keyboard, sometimes I have to take the battery out just to restart it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I Loved CM7 when I had it, but then i started seeing all these bootloop issues start up in the early part of Summer, and I refuse to put it back on. Sorry to those that dev and support it, but seriously, out of all the cases on here, and there have been a bunch, only one was on a phone that didn't have CM7 on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Most of those phones from the 'CM Scare" had bad nand blocks, and it had to be replaced. They had them frothe very beginning, but just decided to act up then. It also happen to some users using MIUI.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mweuch:
Okay my speaker got distorted so I decided to unrooted to take it in for service. Now the phone is unrooted but theres only one problem! Now the phone will boot up to the normal home screen but within 2 to five minutes, it shuts itself down and boot back up to home screen again and the cycle starts again. I have reset few times but same ting' happens. Now sprint is ordering a new phone for me hope its not the 3D i don't think I like it. So now I have my evo still but will give it to sprint once my new phone is in at the sprint store tuesday! Oh by the way, beside the speaker problem the phone was working fine as normal before the unrooting. thx

No! Don't say that!! :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I've been using CM for about a year and NEVER had either of those two problems. There has to be an issue with something else you've loaded onto the phone that isn't playing nice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
No one ever said every install of CM7 will lead to this bootloop, but almost every case of this bootloop, the user was running CM7

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It's true that most of the cases happened on CM7, but from what I understand it can happen on any rom... and has happened on Sense and AOSP.

There's no known fix. You can try to RUU, but even if the RUU flashes properly, the phone will never boot. You're eternally stuck with hboot/fastboot. File an insurance claim, that's about all you can do. I had a similar problem with a stock, never-been-rooted Evo. I got a replacement through insurance without paying the deductible, but I was s-on.

Hopefully I don't get slammed for suggesting this, but if you don't want to pay the deductible for a "lost" phone, you can flash a radio through hboot and pull the battery. If you do it at the right time, the phone will completely brick and never turn on again. It may take a few tries. Then you can take it in and you shouldn't have to pay the deductible, as long as you play dumb of course.

I think this happens due to bad nand blocks on your boot partition, so the main cause is hardware. Something in the rom triggers the never-ending splashscreen bootloop (I'm assuming something related to the boot.img). I could be entirely wrong about this though.

You can't live in fear, if it happens it happens. It's one of the risks you take when rooting and flashing. The number of cases is small compared to the number of people with rooted Evos, especially considering only a portion of people are active on this site, and a lot of the reports come from members that wouldn't post or even be a member if they didn't have the problem. I wouldn't let the possibility deter you from running whatever rom you want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommykman:
I myself am stuck with same issue. Nothing takes. So where does hboot reside when loaded? I also have looked in vain for diagnostic flashes....

Now one thing I noticed is that I installed PDAnet and it shows it installed an app to the phone, however I cant connect. I think cause I cant boot the phone and enable what it telling me to...so how is it this software can load an apk and I cant?

Overall, I am now however learning and it has become a hobby.

Theres an answer somewhere I would think. Thinking maybe its time to tear apart and look for jtag points....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
I have had this happen to me a few times, I leave the RUU on the sd card and when this happens and do what bimmerman7 wrote on the first page. This has always worked for me when I get stuck in a bootloop when trying to access recovery.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i think there may be something wrong with the way you packaged the rom or the rom itself because no one can flash it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] irock1985:
It flashed fine for me :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i didnt try it but i was assuming but i guess not
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] drumm3rb0y:
I ended up getting it to flash. I ended up taking the battery out after i wiped everything and then let the phone reload, wiped again and then got it to flash and it worked. I dont get it. Anyhow just a couple things such as when i downloaded fancy widget and use the widget at 4x2 it kinda justifies itself to the left and does not go all the way across the screen. i dont know if its the widget or the launcher or part of the rom. the other thing is when you hold down the camera button it doesnt always respond and i know my button works.

This is a great rom, the launcher is a little strange at times, but it isn't the dev's fault. it runs smooth and hasn't crashed on me at all. Battery life is also great. And I love the theming. The included sms popup gets in the way of the original notification popup, so I disabled it. Other than that, everything works great!

[DEV - ROM] IceCream Sandwich 4.0.1 V3 SDK [TEST]
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Bud , don't bring it to my phone's section alright ? Your running on a thin line . Keep on playing around & lying to everybody i'm going to get what i want and that is to get you introuble .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcsww:
Regardless of the theme, I've just flashed this so no, I haven't played around with it much yet. However, I just want to state it flashed perfectly in ClockWork Orange. As much as I love the Sidekick custom launcher/theme/skin, I also need my device to be reliable. I have tried other ROM's around here but always ended up going back to the stock KG1 as that seems to have worked most reliably for me so far.

First Impressions

Well, the feel of the ROM takes a little getting used to. Upto date Apps would greatly be appreciated in a future release. The ROM is quick to respond though in almost all cases but one. Auto rotation crawls for some reason. Other than that, everything else responds nicely. There are some apps in here that I would personally take out that are more or less bloatware, one being the Google Search and ThinkFree Office for starters. I've already had a few force closes with MagicLocker for various reasons. Hopefully that will either be fixed or removed in a future release.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
all you do is report people you are so useless just because he states the truth that you posted a bunch of ics ports that dont boot doesnt mean you have to get a mod and report him. grow up and just man up and dont run to mods like a baby when your **** sucks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Undeadk9:
Your already being investigated. Enjoy.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jcsww:
I'm not too sure what the rest of you are doing wrong but I got the ROM in the OP to boot. The screensaver animation plays on top of the original boot animation and it doesn't look half bad. The ROM is stable but I do have one big gripe with it. I text on my device a lot and I require the screen to reorient when the phone changes positions. I can't wait 30 seconds for this to happen and shifting the slider up aqnd down doesn't help either. If you can fix this, I'd be more than happy to try another one of your ROM's.

For those trying to flash this, I used ClockWork Orange. Before flashing, I cleared all caches and wipe/set factory defaults. Once this was done, I flashed it. It does take about 8 or so minutes to fully boot but this isn't the first ROM I've tried that does this. Have a little patience.

I am very partial to the Sidekick TwLauncher. It's basic but it works, all the but damn memory leak. Please minimize the bloatware in the ROM in the next incarnation. I hate having to debloat a ROM after taking the time to install it. Whatever the issue(s) are with Magic force closing need to be fixed. I had set the launcher to IceCream Sandwich as a default to get around this and had no issues with that.

He didn't ask for it. I seen one person said he was dontating so revolution can get the phone. People dotated and the port didn't work out. Anyway that's that. He tried to port ICS and I was an epic fail. But, does have some good ROMs. He has this phone and has made so good roms and some bad one. He is reporting you because you are trying to close all of thread's. He is reporting you because he wants you to leave him alone. His was trying to port ICS and it didn't go as planned. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean it won't later with new SDK version's and help from other people. He didn't stop working on trying to get it to boot.

He's not trying to harm anyone or intentionally brick anyones phone. He messed up, but he does own the sk4g, htc amaze, sgsii, and sgs4g. So please don't try to ban him. If he reports you leave him alone and you won't be reported. Again he mess up with the ICS port, but that doesn't mean him can't develop good ROMs for the phone's he has. This is get out of hand.

I have been using this ROM for the past few days, and it has been working pretty well.

Battery life seems to be decent, and I get notifications for when I have a VM. I did disable MagicLocker though, and am just using the 'base' locker.

I do wish there was a way to customize the number of homescreens (6 is too many). Also the NPR News app. still won't work on any sidekick rom I have tried (I did report this to the developers).

That's about it, ill post if I think of more.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] The Pope of Dope:
Finally got around to flashing this rom.

Overall 10/10

Voicemail Notifications work and that is all I ever wanted. Overall it is stable, fast, but most importantly has the features that we, as every day users, need.

I have one gripe:

The MMS updates have now become overkill. Revolutions additions have provided satisfactory notifications, but the original Touchwiz/SidekickMMS quick reply has become cumbersome. If anybody knows how to stop this pop up let me know.
