Stock EVO continuous rebooting

madflo · #1 (**permalink**) 12-08-2010, 04:08 PM

I have a up-to-date stock evo that is stuck into a constant reboot cycle... It gets to the big 4G screen then reboots again...and again and again....
a little background.. battery was very low and I was charging via a car charger that wasnt giving it enough power the phone eventually died... but i have since fully charged the battery and am still stuck.
I am sure if I were to erase all the data and go back to default rom that would alleviate this problem, if possible I would like not to have to use that option.

Any helpful tips would be appreciated..

sounds like you'll have to call sprint.....you're somewhat limited on what u can do since you're not rooted...

well if u were already rooted you could have booted into recovery, did a backup, then you'd have a copy of your data.img. From there, you could flash a rooted stock or custom rom, then restore your data.img.

I'm not sure if the latest rooting methods would blow away your existing rom/data.

Hard reset to see if it takes care of it.

How will you root if you cannot start the phone? And if you do pull that off, and it still does not work, you will need to unroot before going to Sprint.
