welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!
are you rooted? or unlocked? if you are not then you do not have access to stock recovery. have you tried to do a clear storage in the bootloader menu?

I am rooted on no I haven't tried that ill give it a shot
I've tried clearing the storage but iis still in the boot loop
So you do not have a custom recovery?
And to stop the bootloop, do you have to pull battery? And when you power back up, it goes back into bootloop?
What happens when you click on recovery in your bootloader screen?
When you were in the bootloader screen, what did it say...that is post here what it says. I think you are going to need a recovery to fix this but I'm not sure.
Yes I'm using clockwork and yes I've tried pulling the battery and just go straight into recovery but it will just go into the white screen evo boot loop I've tried using a different pc36img. Update but everything seems to be going fine but when I go into recovery its just the same boot loop .. any ideas of what might be causing this to happen?
Not sure the cause, however, since you cannot get into recovery perhaps we can guide you to a good PC36IMg recovery zip.
In your bootloader screen, post here what it says k?

And whe I hit recovey it just goes back to the white evo boot loop.
Sorry I think this is what you meant for me to write..Not sure the cause, however, since you cannot get into recovery perhaps we can guide you to a good PC36IMg recovery zip.

On the boot loader it says..

When you said you tried different PC36IMG.zip files, are those files recovery files?
If so, are you renaming them correctly? Windows will hide .zip extentions and sometimes get renamed PC36IMG.zip.zip and the bootloader will not see them.
Also use caps..PC36IMG, no pc36img. Also it should be on the root, or, top of sd card...not in any folder. Again, bootloader will not see it if in a folder of sd card.
Try this recovery file...again, rename correctly, put on root of sd card.
Do you have a card reader that you can use to put your sd card into computer?

Yes I've tried all the things mentioned though with this last file given by you I goy signs of life not before seen it still went into the boot loop I got this message at the bottom of the black screen right before going into boot loop "Ra Revamped Build :RA-Supersonic v4.3-smelkusMOD
Well it seems you have recovery but it won't boot into it. Hmmmm. Gotta think about this one
Yea I've tried everything I could think off but I a not as experienced to get it to work again I really appreciate all the help.Well it seems you have recovery but it won't boot into it. Hmmmm. Gotta think about this one
Yeah, sorry, but unless someone else has a different idea, the only thing I can think of atm is using adb somehow to fix it. However, I tinkered a little with adb but not enough to tell ya what commands to execute from it.....
It's bizzare that you can only go into bootloader screen only and it will bootloop when you try anything else....
There has GOT to be a solution somewhere, I just know it...finding it will happen, don't worry pal.
ok im going to check it out
well unrooting is a 2 step process. and you have to use a PC36IMG file to have the bootloader install the hex edited hboot and then use a PC36IMG ruu to finish the process. at this point it does not hurt to try it.
Cool I'm going to give it a try and. See what happens

Try flashing the amon ra 2.3 zip file through the link in my sig. It is flashed through the bootloader. Do you have any way to get it onto the root of your SD card?
If that doesn't work, there has never been a work around for the bootloop of death. Might be time to hit up Craigslist. I used cm7 based stuff all the time and I've never had any issues. That stinks. Sorry to hear it.

Thanks I've already tried that n now I'm afraid that I might have to give up on it
out of curiosity what is your hboot and radio? and which ruu(s) have you tried?
