[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottfree1:
Took a flyer on a $15 evo 4g looks like I overpaid, anyone have bootloop recovery not available brick?

I've tried recovery/roms pushed from fastboot and from zip updates and the same thing boot screen for a sec black bootscreen again reboot. Pwr vol+ works but recovery is will not come up, wipe avail but not factory reset choice. I've pushed various recommended recovery and boot images, and they all say success but have zero effect. I'm guessing it's that s-on is on but with out recovery I'm not having any luck, any ideas?
