Stuck on white boot screen

hello all

been at this for over a week and havent been able to find a solution.....

the htc evo phone will sometimes boot all the way only to get frozen( have to pull the battery out) and then when i turn it back on it gets stuck on the white boot screen. history of the phone is unknown to me but dont think it rooted as it indicates S-on.

SuperSonic EVT2-3 S-ON

Radio 2.15.00.09.01

microp-041f

hboot-0.97.0000

kernel 2.6.32.15-gefb08e

build 3.29.651.5 cl252548

pri version 1.77.003

I have been able to connect and flash stock RUU but it still get stuck on white boot screen....Please help at wits end.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Wow! Someone that actually uses the search feature....commendable to say the least. lol

From looking at the info you posted, you seem to have an Evo from the first batch that was released. You said the history of the phone is unknown to you......does this mean that it is possible that it was broken when you got it? If the phone accepts the RUU and still doesn't boot, it could be a hardware problem that is causing it to not function properly.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Activate the phone take it into a repair store and pay the $35 to have it replaced if you don't have insurance. If you do have insurance the store will replace it for free.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Sprint changed their service policy again. You can no longer get things replaced or repaired for 35 dollars if you do not have insurance.

Which RUU's have you tried using? I'm assuming that since you've been at it for a week now, you've most likely tried them all. However, if you haven't, here's a link of pretty much every evo RUU and PC36IMG that there is. I suggest trying one that matches your specs as closesly as possible (.97 hboot, and the 3.29 software). If that still fails on you, and you feel you've exhausted all other methods, then the beauty of this situation is that you're bootloader is S-on, and the phone is within the 1year warranty still. So if you take it to Sprint, there is a good chance you'll get a replacement.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
You are mistaken if the phone has a manufacturer defect which it sounds like this person is having you can still pay the $35. At least

in my part of the country.

Stuck on white htc boot screen

o.k. thanks for all the replies finally somewhere i got feedback to my problem. first i have tried to flash the phone with pc36img.zip but it always gives me a no image found. 2. only 2 successful RUU flash of 3.29.651 and the phone did boot all the way into the welcome screen but again it freezes and back to same problem of stuck on htc screen. 3. did not try newer version of software as i dont know if it would be compatible with the hboot or radio. I have to activate the phone in my name to get insurance for it, but have to program it to my number with sprint but cant do that if the phone freezes.
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
Try the newest ruu, The 3.70 one. Youre compatible.
[EVO 4G General] xda751:
Stock on boot screen

well now i cant get the RUU to load it keeps giving me a error 170. Connecting the phone via fastboot. as for the other method PC36IMG any image i place on the microsd card is not recognized always says no image.....o.k. forgot i had better success with my xp machine.....so i switched over but when i try to flash the RUU it will reboot to bootloader and the phone will not turn on again. What i have done when the phone goes off and doesnt come back on i disconnet the usb cable and remove battery (quickly) and reconnect it while the RUU is still waiting and it will write to the phone. Ok flashed the RUU 3.70.651.1 and now my hboot is 2.10.0001 but still stuck on htc evo 4g white screen : (
[EVO 4G General] xda751:
stuck on white boot screen

o.k. been randomly taking out the battery and restarting the phone. still gets stuck, on one of the reboots i got a double arrow circle mean on a htc evo. what does that mean and can i use this to flash/recover or something with the phone.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Activate the phone on your number take it to a repair store and get it swaped. You don't have to program the phone because you can't. Don't tell them what you have don't just say something stupid like I think I have a bad battery. When you activate the phone ask to put insurance on it if not it will be $35. That is it.
[EVO 4G General] xda751:
Stuck on White Boot Screen

Thanks to all that made suggestionsand offered links. I kept at it last night and followed Calkulin how to fix sd card: as follows:

SD Card Fix

Press & hold vol down and power on the phone

Select fastboot by pressing the power button

ADB commands

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

That should fix your SD card not being detected.

and Voila!! i was able to restore via sd card........o.k. im getting ahead of myself so the phone booted correctly and again it hanged up. So i called today and swapped phones(placed the evo on a 3rd line i rare use and insured it) but i am hardheaded so i had the battery out all night and placed it back in booted up the phone and Voila its alive.....phone kept trying to update my profile but nothing so a placed a test call on it and nothing so i called sprint again and the rep told me the phone was no activated on my account. So we went throught the steps of programming it and so far so good. Afraid to even turn it off.....no matter its insured now and i can always take it in now......woo..wooo

Again Thanks to All who Helped

I read an article on engadget that said it was a possibility that sprint would be switching to LTE because of Clears(Clearwires) financial problems. Anyone have anymore info on this ?? Will our EVOs work on LTE? IS there a special radio required for that or just software?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
There is a thread on this in the general section. And I would say no, as it would be GSM and requires a simcard, and the Evo radio can't access it. But it won't happen immediately.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
LTE is not even related to GSM.

I have been reading different theories. One is that our current 4g antenna can handle LTE with an update, but I am not sure I buy that one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I never claimed to have all the answer. But as to your second point, I don't buy it either doubt the evo would be able to support it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eat it iPhone:
Verizon uses LTE on cdma (same as Sprint). As for LTE being compatible I've heard rumors an update to the radio is all that's needed.

I assume if its not they will keep us wimaxers on clear and in 2 years or so we will all be upgraded anyway (new phones)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
ok to clear this up since everyone seems to be misunderstanding everything with this.

The WiMax radio and the LTE radio are very different. As far as I am aware, LTE requires a sim card. WiMax does not. The Towers that sprint has put up for WiMax can apparently be converted to LTE towers by changing one piece of hardware and issuing a software upgrade.

Your Evo will not be able to access LTE. It does not have an LTE card in it, it has a WiMax chip.

in the real world, LTE is the faster network than WiMax is. The downside is they can control what you do or don't do. What websites you go to, etc.

in my experience I have seen LTE do 15-20 down and 2 up on a broadband card. Wimax I have never seen past 10 (due to sprint limiting this anyway) and it is usually around 4-5 on average.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heldunder:
ACTUALLY, wimax end of life is suposed to be able to hit 140 mb/s and LTE end of life is only looking at 100 MAX... so in the long term wimax is much faster, most people have said that it's mearly the way clear rolled it out that makes it so unreliable and slow.

Hi xda peoples

this is a very good way for those who install the rom to be able to install the best roms and save time.

All the experts here intorduce the best roms from introduced roms every week so newly arrived people can make use of them.

The introduced rom should be the best in every aspect :

* the best in cameras

* no bugs

* unlocked

* high speed

* high stability

this action is very useful so try to take part in it

There's already a thread on this... also, there is no best rom. It's personal preference.

And at this point, all the wp7 roms are pretty much the same... personally don't see the point in having as many as there is, but it's good that there's different cooks and hopefully there will be differences in the roms as they progress. But right now, all the roms have pretty much same tweaks and features... no real difference except maybe the lockscreen picture and a theme color.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UTZorro:
Hey guys, I upgraded to the Atrix from my Tilt2... I set up the bluetooth with my car (Audi A5) and the calling works fine but the car no loner imports my SIM contacts, recent calls, missed calls, and dialed calls list that my Tilt2 used to send over. Those options on the car are now just blank. Is there anyway to enable this? The bluetooth profile on both phones is just listed as "hands free". Is there any way to fix this or enable other connection profiles to send that data like my last phone did?

Thanks guys :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ziuck:
I can pair my Atrix is my BMW 3-series but when it tries to download the phone book the BT connection drops. Sometimes I can start to make a call but it will drop the connection.

I can connect all my BB's and my HTC Inspire 4G just fine.

I think there is something wrong with the BT stack.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UTZorro:
I think you may be right... I did some more online searching after the post and stumbled upon an Audi forum where multiple people have lost the ability on several different car models after moving to a stock android device... however, it appears things fix themselves with CM roms which may have a more sophisticated BT stack. I wonder if it's hopeless about having that capability until 2.3 or the bootloader is cracked?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
A lot of cars can only import the phone book from the SIM card. Not from any other application on the phone.

So if your phone book is in Google Contacts or some other application...you'll need to port it into the SIM card itself for most cars to be able to read it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade1d:

"I have new A4 and atrix pairs fine."

And do you know WHICH phone book your numbers are in, or which phone books the A4 can pair with?

If his BT is connecting, and the phone is working over BT, there's no reason to think the phone is defective. yet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
It's not a BT Stack problem...it's an Audi problem (or BMW, etc...). The manufacturers need to program their devices for Android. The ability to grab contacts and such isn't a standard bluetooth handsfree device option. It has to do something extra. How it *handles* that extra something differs by device...which is why some don't work with Android devices.

On top of that, there's a dialogue when you first pair the device that asks if it should have access to your contacts, call lists, etc...that you have to "Allow" or it won't ever be able to get those lists. It's been the same way on every Android phone I've ever used. If you don't hit Allow within 10 seconds the dialogue will go away and never come back...unless you unpair and re-pair the device. Try doing this and seeing if the dialogue comes up. If it doesn't, it's an issue with the way your Audi/BMW polls for contacts.

BTW works perfectly with my Kenwood receiver.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
"They" didn't. Audi/BMW did. They didn't spend enough time programming to figure out that Android handles contacts slightly differently. Put blame where it's due.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmflex:
Hi, new user here to searched and figured it'd be better to post in this thread rather than starting a new one.

I'm another Atrix user who is having issues with pairing the Atrix to a bluetooth car kit. I've got the VW Touch Phone Kit (rebadged Bury CC9060) which used to work perfectly with my previous Samsung Omnia as well as my partner's Samsung S8500. The problem I have was that with the 1.57 firmware, I could initially pair the phone and it would sync the phonebook up fine so that I could make or receive any number of calls without a hitch. But the issue was when I switched the ignition off then back on, the Atrix appears to pair correctly, it'll grab the phonebook but cannot make or grab any incoming calls. When dialing from the phonebook, it will initiate the call then drop out while the call still goes through. Incoming calls just aren't picked up at all. If I deleted the pairing and paired the phone up to the car kit again, it'd work until the first ignition off and back on again.

After I updated to the 1.83 firmware, this no longer works for me at all even though it appears to pair correctly and syncs the phonebook as well.

I've looked into upgrading the software on the car kit but I'm already on v0181 which is the latest for the VW branded kit. The Bury CC9060 kit has available a v0235 update but won't load on the VW kit as it does a checksum check. I'm looking at possibly editing the flasher to bypass the checksum check.

Has anyone else used the Atrix with this car kit and experiencing the same issues?

Thanks in advance

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmflex:
A quick bump.

I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one using an Atrix with this car kit...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
I really wanted to buy a car kit, I was even willing to pay the rather high price. Then i saw tht the Atrix just "snaps it" with those two spring arms.

You know what happens in an accident? The phone will fly out as a missle. Good luck finding it, if you were doing 30 when you got slammed, the phone will still be doing 30 when it launches out of the clips.

If it doesn't hit you, you still won't be able to find it or call 911 on it.

So, nice dock, I'm holding off for something that can be used "in case of accident". For that price, I expect a more robust product, designed to survive. (Note to Moto, calls Mercedes and speak to crash safety team.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staunch:
I am not sure that the blame can be directed to the car makers not suiting the android configuration.

I had concerns about Androids paring car bluetooth, so when my wife got her Samsung running Froyo before i purchased the Atrix, I tested it on my 2010 A4 and it all worked faultlessly. All phonebook, dialled, missed calls & received calls. All her contacts are stored on the Phone too, not the SIM. It actually worked better with it than my old Nokia's, and my old iPhone 3G. All of which had contacts stored on the phone not the SIM.

Being in my car all day, I had to make sure it the Atrix running Froyo would work too, and that's why I tested it with my wifes phone before buying the Atrix.

I would have to say that the problem does have something to do with how the Atrix handles bluetooth. I have been having all the same issues that other users are having.

To be fair to the Atrix, I had only one problem when I originanlly bought it and that was loading the contacts from the phones storage, all the other options were working and it never displayed the annoying error message and it never dropped the connection either.

This has only started playing up completely since I rooted it and installed HeLauncher with Fancy widgets (maybe it's just a coincidence, but its unlikely i think IMHO).

I have since uninstalled the HeLauncher and Fancy Widgets, and yet the problem is still there, so I have no realistic reason why it isn't working anymore.

Because i work for Audi, I will check at work why this issue might be happening ( just with the Atrix not all the other Android phones) and see if their is anything that can be done to fix the issue. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmflex:
Hi Staunch

I'd be very interested in what you can find out about this issue. I've basically got nothing out of VW and their official stand is that the atrix isn't compatible.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staunch:
Ok, I have tried connectivity with the current version of MMI and it seems to pair up with NO error messages at all. It would appear at this stage that the new MMI generation have the "issue" fixed. I am still waiting for a reply from Service Technical Support to answer why the issue exists on the older MMI generations. It would appear that Audi in conjection with Apple focused their MMI setup for iOS, not considering Android OS's.

Will keep you updated once I have some more information about previous versions of MMI.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netgun71:
I've also had fun trying to get my E46 3 Series BMW ULF BT module to talk to the Atrix - has no issues speaking to an older Nokia phone. Anyway after a LOT of experimentation I've finally pinned down the root cause of the problem, text messages (SMS).

I've yet to figure out the specific trigger but it is either the number of messages or something in a specific message it doesn't like. I figured this out because I noticed the envelope icon coming up on the BMW screen for 5-10 seconds before the bluetooth would drop out each time after connecting the pairing. Each connection only lasts 15 seconds at most.

Anyway there were 193 SMS messages in the car memory, maybe the 194th message was upsetting it. I deleted almost all the 1150 SMS messages in my phone and it was only when I got rid of all of them that it connected. I then had to manually clear the SMS messages in the BMW one by one (took a long while).

I then did some testing whereby I sent an SMS or two to my phone. I noted that the Atrix seems to periodly get asked to upload messages to the car. You can delete them in the car but if they are still on the phone, they come back shortly after. They always show as unread on the BMW unless you read them on the car screen. Reading them on the phone has no affect. Maybe the SMS side of BT headset support is borked on the Atrix.

So my conclusion is that while I don't know the detailed trigger specifics, for BMWs at least the Atrix Bluetooth issue comes down to SMS messages. My large contacts directory uploads in its entirety without an issue. The solution for reliable BT connectivity to the Atrix and a BMW seems to be in SMS message management. Get yourself a copy of SMS Backup from the market when you experiment.

Hope this helps others!
