Can you turn the phone off? If so, what happens when you press volume down + power? What ROM are you running, and what were you doing with the phone just prior to this starting?

The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
HTC EVO 4G LTE running Sense 5 & Android 4.1.2

It's not bricked. Hold down power and the volume down button until your phone shuts off. Then release ONLY the power button. Keep holding the volume button until it gets into bootloader. then select fastboot. then select recovery. do a full wipe of cache, dalvik, factory reset and system. Then flash this again. it can take up to 5 mins the first time. Be patient.
