Stock ROM constant reboot on white HTC EVO 4G screen

Hi all,
Here's short history of the phone:
Friend of mine drop his on the concrete about June of last year and whole screen was cracked (not pretty). About month ago I found LCD Screen with Digitizer on ebay bought it and replaced it.
After turning it on everything was working except random reboots. Phone was not registered to any account so there was no internet only WI-FI.
So I started going into system updates and downloading HTC updates it did two of them and I think on the 3rd one it just starts to boot white HTC EVO 4G screen comes on and then it reboots.
Only pulling the battery will stop it.
This is all on stock HTC Sense ROM, rooting was never attempted!
I've searched thru the forums here but everything here relates to failed rooting process.
Can someone please make any suggestions?
Bellow is the pictures of boot loader.
Help is greatly appreciated!

These directions are for un-rooting, but should fix your phone:

Thank you!

Followed the instruction, run RUU and it starts to check the phone after this I get error[170]: USB connection error.
I've tried over 10 times.
Step 4 says "Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone."
I can't even log into Sense?

The only other thing you can do is find a PC36IMG.zip and put it on your microSD card, then reboot into the bootloader. It should find it and reflash everything, the same as using the RUU.

I've tried using this method found here
I placed PC36IMG.zip in root of the SD card. But when I boot into recovery I can see for about 3 seconds on the right side status bar how it checks PC36IMG.zip file but then it goes back to recovery. It never ask me if I want to update like it says in the above tutorial "Do you want to start update?"
Any other suggestions?

I had to unroot mine and I found that u have to have the right pc36img file. If you dont know what ver rom was running then you may need to try them all. But I had the same problem it just wouldent install the file. Keep trying and if you need help finding them Ill help ya.
I found this but its not the same place I got mine from. http://www.filecrop.com/htc-evo-4g-roms.html

Thanks for the reply!
Somewhat of a progress. I tried countless times and it always gives me USB connection error: Then I downloaded HTC Sync and and I think I went to Hboot and I heard sound on windows it seemed like phone got recognized and I was able to finish the processes. It was flashed using RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed. Then when I went to again in recovery it was again red triangle over the phone.
After that I just let it try to boot and it finally booted into HTC sense!
Turned on WI-FI and wanted to check if there's any updates and it said no updates?
This is what recoveries I've tried so far:
Amon RA 2.1.1
Amon RA 2.2.1
Amon RA 2.3 (Added 02/09/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.26.651.6 (Added 01/18/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.29.651.5 (Added 01/18/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.30.651.3 (Added 01/18/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.70.651.1 (Added 01/18/2011)
One by one I tried each one renaming to PC36IMG.zip and none of them asked me if I want to do the update. It just checks it and goes back to bootloader.
Why do I get red triangle?
What should I do now?
Help is appreciated!

Sprint NS4G
Rooted
SU 3.0.7
CWM 5.0.2.3

Installed the wrong ICS version. No Mobile Network available.
Issues:
Computer can NOT recognize devices. Check for MTP Protocal under Setting > Device > Storage > Menu >>> no option exist.
Is there another way to run fastboot and get CWM recovery to install?
Any solution how to flash the CDMA version of ICS?

Not only wrong version of ICS, wrong section for this question. But since we here... volume up + Power = bootloader menu.

Download the drivers and adb flash recovery.img

If you flashed before have you saved any ROM's on you phone? If so did you try to wipe and restore one of your old roms?

have you tried connecting it to your pc via linux? since it doesn't need usb drivers to connect, you may be able to flash recovery via terminal then.

Sux for me! After installing Ubuntu, applying all java updates, and running the unbricking app, my NS4G is still not recognized by a computer. I've also applied updates of the MTP drivers. Sigh, I'm doom til the actual release from sprint.

[Q] [bricked?] cyanogenmod 20130721 nightly broke my phone!

hi, i updated my phone with the last cyanogenmod nightly as always, but when it restarted i cannot use 3g or wifi, i can't browse internal folder connected by usb and adb doesn't recognise it
i can't even try to install any drivers because it doesn't even recognise them...
help me please...
i don't know what to do

Flash the last working ROM you used. wipe cache.
Sent from my Nexus 4

bricked means the phone doesnt turn on or do anything, its essentially a "brick"
before you became a rom flasher, with a rooted phone, you should of learned your way around first, at least learn the basics when it comes to servicing your device. i bet you used a root toolkit because it was easy and you didnt have to learn anything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367406
a. if you made a nandroid backup(you should always before flashing something new) restore it.
b. flash the latest rom that worked for you(if its still in your storage), via your recovery.
c. youll have to figure out how to get adb working on your computer and push a rom to your phone via the adb push option in your recovery.
d. if all else fails, fastboot flash the factory img and reroot.

i'm not a total newbie...
i rooted my phone (and the prevoius one, a htc tattoo) without any toolkit
if i could flash something i clearly never opened this thread -.-
-adb does not list my device
-i can't install any driver, even the one included in the official sdk
the message i get is this:

-i wiped everything
i can turn on the phone, but:
- i can't use internet neither with wifi neither with 3g -> i can't login into my google account or download another rom
- signal is absent -> i can't make phone calls or send sms
so, for me, it's a total brick
i didn't know about the fastboot option, i tried and it worked.
thank you all

if fastboot worked for you, then adb should have worked. i bet it might be something as simple as updating adb/getting a new version of adb. anyways, im glad fastboot worked

[Q] Can't boot any ROM!

Well, I think I need some help with this one.
So, I have been using Resurrection Remix as my daily driver for a while now (to be able to run lollipop). As I noticed the G2 now has an official lollipop build, so I wanted to install that(cam sucks on most ROMs and overall stability isn't always great). Since I figured the best way would be to go back to stock, and then run the OTA updates.
I made a backup of my current rom, found this, and tried the TOT method. Everything ran fine, but when the 85% reboot thing happened, it booted straight into TWRP. Decided to reboot to system via TWRP, but after showing the LG logo for about 5-10s, it goed straight back into recovery. Since i figured the install failed or something I decided to factory reset, and restore from my backup. TWRP says the restore is succesful, but it still won't boot into my ROM. Reinstalling any ROM doesn't work either
Already tried this, no result(, and I'm afraid of trying the above guide again, but let me know if i should just try again)!
I do have access to my recovery and download, and ADB still works. The only thing I see is that instead of this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Mine says this:
(My PC is in Dutch )
(The LG Driver on the guide was an older version than the one on my pc still, but I don't think that will cause a problem).
Hope my phone isn't gone forever, and thanks for helping in advance!!
-Scrytal
EDIT:
Tried the above TOT method again, apparatly it skips a lot of things, and is done in like 30s, so it's not doing its job. I have no idea what's causing that though!
EDIT2:
IF ANYONE STILL FINDS THIS, this was the solution for me. I didn't know LG had a 'official' tool for fixing our sh*t . Hope it still helps you!

You should edit the title to include the word (solved) or (fixed).

And the official lg tool link is broken

Can't Re-Unlock the Bootloader

I read through the similar thread from yesterday, but this is a different issue...
I had unlocked, installed TWRP, and had been running a custom ROM (BadBoyz 1.2). This morning I re-locked so I could flash the updated firmware (v1.80) and now I am unable to re-unlock.
When I issue the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, it works without errors, and the phone goes to the "Are you sure you want to unlock your bootloader?" screen.
However, at that screen, the volume buttons do nothing. I can't select yes OR no, it just sits there. Eventually it times out and just shows the battery charging on a black screen.

}
When I flashed the firmware, it removed TWRP, and with a locked bootloader, I can't re-flash it.
I was able to get a fully stock rom up and running, so I'm not in brickville anymore (had a few hours of panic earlier today), and I've been able to confirm that the OEM Unlock option is checked. I've even unchecked and re-checked to be sure. Everything works except the ability to confirm my choice and move on. I'm kind of afraid that it's a glitch in the new firmware, at this point...
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!!

So, it removed TWRP and replaced the stock recovery? And now you can't reinstall TWRP because bootloader is locked? Is that where you're at?

have you tried running RUU.exe? i took that route and was able to unlock my bootloader again, flash twrp and upgrade to bb 2.0 with no problems

I had the same problem and had to flash a stock rom back on the phone before the unlocker would work.

I figured it out! I can't explain WHY it worked, but it worked...
I had re-flashed several times using the official RUU, and the results never changed...
Then yesterday I went through a mental checklist of what was different when I unlocked the first time... and the only thing, was that I hadn't put my SD Card in the phone yet when I unlocked the first time. So I went through the motions again to verify that it still didn't work, and it didn't. Then I ejected the SD Card and tried it - and BOOM, I was able to unlock!
The only thing I can think of is that the SD Card did have the Firmware .zip on it, which the phone auto-detected and asked if I wanted to install... even though I said no. As soon as I tried it without the card, it worked like it always had, I'm back to unlocked, and back to the custom ROM I had been enjoying so much...
Thanks for the tips, everyone, and I hope this thread helps someone else who finds themselves in the same boat!
