evo 4g slid off my lap wall turning a corner and landed in my 1qt 3/4s full cup of water. it wasn't till my second twitter text that i finely figured out were the fancy lights were coming from. i pulled the phone had my fiance take the cover and battery out instantly.
when i got home we took the phone, with no battery and back and submerged it in rice. after three days the phone seamed dry except for a small amount of water trapped between the digitizer and the screen. after another two days in rice i tracked down the tools needed to disassemble my phone to let out the trapped water.
while letting out the trapped water i broke the ribbon cable for the digitizer and had to order a replacement. 5 days later i installed the new digitizer only to find that my phone would not boot past the white EVO 4g Sprint screen. (given normal time)
over the days and mostly after rooting my replacement Evo i managed to get the swimming one to boot into Hboot/fastboot. from there it froze before booting into recovery. so i flashed a new recovery. then after letting it boot for 15min i got into recovery were i flashed a new rom.
where i stand now.
the phone takes a 20+ to boot then once it does i cant unlock the phone or get any indication that the touch is working. additionally when i hit the power button and wait a solid minute it brings up the lock screen again, then immediately goes black again.

what rom are you on? what recovery do you have? what did you wipe before flashing the rom? how long does it boot into recovery?

thanks for having me.
recovery: amon ra 2.3
ROM: Express 3.4.2
to boot into recovery is 5+ min.
did the factory wipe as indicated in rom thread.
i would think hardware but if it was i don't see how i would get into recovery let alone a full, if useless, boot.

Electronic devices dont like water! I have lost a few phones to water damage (yes, slow learner) One that comes to mind was my samsung moment, I actually dropped it in the toilet It still worked when I pulled it out, but it was in the toilet, so wasnt goin anywhere near my face! I hadnt gone yet, was unzipping and it fell out of my hoody pocket, but still, it was in the toilet, so I doused with bleach, and scrubbed it up, that I think is what did the damage, Let it sit in rice couple days with out batt, etc... it would boot up, and run, I could even make and receive phone calls, and send txt messages, but it was slow, and glitchy, lots of fc's, random reboots, freezes. etc So... Just puttin it out there... It may boot, but I would be inclined to believe you have multiple hardware issues at this point.
is there any way to get a log or report through fastboot or adb that would show me what hardware errors are at hand. im not one to solder on the micro scale but it would answer the question and let me put this phone to bed.

I think in amon ra, there is an option under other, or dev options that allows you to export an error log of some sort to sd, maybe that'll help?
