Help Cycles Start Up Screens Ad Infinitum

[DavidEllzey]

Seems like this would have been covered before but I couldn't find it in a search so i guess I will ask.

My wife's trusty old HTC EVO 4G ran its battery out today, it notified of low batt but she didn't have a charger and needed it for directions. Anyhow once she got to her vehicle and put it on charge she then tried to turn it on.

It turns on with the HTC boot screen, then switches to the Sprint animated screen pauses, then starts repeating. The only way to stop the cycle is to pull the battery.

My thought was that she fried her battery but when I borrowed my daughter's fully charged EVO battery it displayed the same behavior.

Any ideas?

Welcome DavidEllzey
Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but have you had any luck since then?
Perhaps leaving the device off, then charging it overnight and try booting it up in the a.m.?


Next step to try would be to boot into the stock recovery and wiping the cache...more on that later
Worst case scenario is booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset, but that would be a last resort as you will lose whatever you have as far as apps/settings/contacts etc on the device..
