What to do when HTC Bolt is stuck in 'Android is starting.. optimizing storage'?

My sprint bolt restarted on its own and now is locked in a "thinking" mode that says Android is starting... optimizing storage.

My ht c bolt is about a year old and 2 days ago when I was on the camera app my phone just turned off and vibrates, turns to the white HTC  screen it does this over and over. I have tried to do the hard reset and it will only go to one screen after holding Jonah's down volume and power button it had rebot , rebot to bootloader, bolt to download, bolt to recovery, power down. I have tried all of them some just come back to that screen and some go to a black screen with grey ht c and in a couple second s it will go back to the white screen. Help please....

I had previously tried the soft reset (hold down power and vol up) several times with no results. I just held down power and vol down until the menu buttons started blinking. It took about 4 seconds. That rebooted the phone. I tried that earlier and it didn't work, so I don't know why it worked now, but phone has rebooted and is working fine. Note: was stuck on that screen for about 3 hours.

I'm having the same problem. Did you find a solution?
