I rooted my EVO last night and was playing around trying to Unlock NAND and everything went wrong.
My SD card is completely blank. Nothing on it.
Every time I turn on my phone I just get the bootloader.
I have no idea what to do.
Please help.. What do I do?
Give us more details, explaining what you did up to now, then we might be able to help out.

Sorry. I don't really know how or what because I did so much.
I rooted it using a guide I saw in the Development Forum,
but with ROM Manager I could never get CM6 working so I used Revoked to turn S-OFF.
After I did that, Whenever I rebooted, the bootloader would come up and I couldn't actually boot up my phone. I went to recovery to do a factory reset and it still wouldn't boot.
So now my SD card is completely empty, not a single file.
With Bootloader and ClockworkMod recovery.
How do I get my factory default back?
Details are still a bit sketchy to me, but just turn off your phone, remove the SD card and plug it into your computer. Load one of the stock rooted roms on the evo wiki.

Eject it and put it back into your phone. Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, and then install from SD card.
You must have reformatted your SD card when you were messing around earlier.

you should be able to use any rom not just stock. but yea from the sounds of it you formated your sd card your evo is defineatly not completly bad since it boots and gets to the bootloader and recovery there is always hope. Also if you ddint a note for the future ALWAYS nandbackup as soon as you can while everything is working before you change roms etc this way if this happens again in the future you can just nand restore ti back to where you were.

Both experiencing the same problem,
One UD 8.0 got stuck in loop after I tried installing Koush Kernel
2nD one is running CM6.0.1, was fine until I tried using to read Phone #1s MicroSD to figure out what was wrong.
2nd phone (CM6) then restarted randomly while plugged into PC, which started the bootloop.
Tried everything, nandroid (Couldn't mount /Data), I wiped, factory reset, tried reflashing update.zip for CM6 phone.
Both phones are completely useless, not sure what to do at this point and CM6's owner was leaving town.
Any ideas? Ultimate way to unbrick a DINC? If you know of anything, please help.
A boot loop is not a brick. I would nandroid back to stock(you did this right?) or use an RUU.

Does this mean you can get into hboot?
If yes, you should be able to ruu an official release..

I do not have a great deal of experience, but since you can get in recovery, place King Kernel #3 on your SD card, boot into recovery and apply the KingKernals #3 zip file from your SD card for the 1st phone. See if that fixes it. Just sounds like incompatibility with the kernel if it happened right after you flashed it.

UD is an AOSP Rom, King's kernel does not support it at this time.
I would try a fresh install of the 8-26 leak. Do wipe first, then do dalvik wipe under advanced settings. Get deodexed version of rom Here
If that does not work let's get some information
Did you run unrevoked forever and get S-off status?
What radio version are you using?
You should not be borked if you are getting into recovery you should be fine.
@ToyTank
BOTH phones are - 2.05.00.6.11 S-ON, Neither are unrevoked forever.
Problem with phone 1 (UD) is that the SD card is completely messed up now. It's an 8GB that has nothing on it, the compuiter is reading it at 758MB. Any function of Recovery leads to errors mounting, so flashing stuff isn't working, nandroid as well.
Phone 2 (CM6) let's me flash stuff onto it, "Install from sdcard complete." but will continue into a bootloop when I restart the phone.
I attempted RUU last night and maybe I'm doing it wrong but the software is giving me an error connecting to USB. How should I go about installing the 8-26 leak? Just wipe > throw in PB31IMG and install?
I assume I don't need unrevoked forever for this, I tried 8-26 and flashed PB31IMG.zip, Device 2 Starts dancing until it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail". Anybody know a workaround?
Try formating the sd card to FAT32 using a computer. That might help with phone #1. Error with usb can be solved using these steps.
1. Try the RUU executable. it will give you that usb error, taking you to the black htc screen.
2. Exit the ruu program (leaving phone in that state) and run it again. This worked for me when I RUU'd mine.
Who knows though. It may have been a one shot deal.
sounds like you are trying a bunch of stuff without READING about what you are doing. you flashed kernels with a rom that CLEARLY states that they will not work and then you tried to flash unsigned roms through hboot which will not work without s-off and then you try to downgrade when you have the ota leak (radio 2.05) which will not work.
you either need to get the ruu working, get s-off applied or follow the steps to go back to stock hboot.
time for you to start doing your homework to get yourself out of this mess.
Neither are bricked. Ruu back to stock.
yeah bro not good practice
@Fretless, @Lafester, @GermanBrat. Thanks for the comments - going to try RUU 3.21.605 and report back.
Hey guys RUU worked for Phone 2 (CM6) but is not playing nice with Phone 1. USB connection error. I appreciate the help so far, any more ideas for this phone?
It's basically stuck in white htc inc screen and will go no further. It's completely wiped and nothing will mount in recovery. RUU can't detect a usb connection but the PC beeps when I connect via usb
So i think i bricked my phone...i can get into recovery but a factory reset still gives me boot loops. Any suggestions?
I got some "mounted readonly" error for my sd card and i formatted it, then booted up and it worked fine but the phone took forever to load in the homescreen...like all my widgets and everything said "loading..." so i turned it off and turned it back on and bam...bootloops....
try full wipe 2x each one then flash a new rom hopefully work or try the Calkulins flashable reset
will try, thanks for the fast response
worked, didnt know you could mount through USB...was lucky i had a backup copied over. Thank you for your help
anytime dudde there a nothing worst than feel like you are loosing a treasure LOL
So, I am pretty new to rooting. But i really effed up. I rooted my phone, got rom manager, and was having a great time. I tried to download a rom, it didnt work and the screen just got stuck on htc evo 4g all white screen. So, retardedly i decided it would be a good idea if i formatted everything in the boot screen, including my memory card. Is there anyway to fix this, or am i soh?
just realized this message is in the wrong place...i reposted in q&a if a mod wants to close this.

If your recovery is not there when you boot into it, you'll have to flash another one.
If you can get to recovery, just wipe everything and flash a different ROM already on your SD card, or put one on there through the recovery menu
Okay guys..First I would like to say that I am an avid viewer here and am pretty addicted to this site and come here everyday. Quick question though to anyone that can help me out. Today I decided to upgrade my Miui Rom on the Incredible 2. After it downloaded I went into recovery to install the new rom but forgot to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Next, after it booted up to boot animation it immediately went into bootloops over and over again and would not get past it no matter how long I waited. Finally, I turned off my phone and went into recovery and here's the kicker. I updated the radio previously, left it on my sd card, and when I went I tried to get to recovery all it does is update the radio again then tell me to reboot the phone, which it will not reboot. Is there anyway anybody knows how to delete the radio update from my sd card? or anyway around this so i can access recovery? Thanks in advance.

What you wanna do, is take out the SD card, and boot into bootloader. Scroll down to recovery and right as your splash screen comes up, put it back in. Once recovery comes up, you should be good. It happened to me that's why I know. Lol

My Incredible is running CM7 with ClockwordMod and was having many force close problems and the only solution seemed to be to do a factory reset or try getting a backup from recovery. When I tried recovery however, the phone got stuck on the HTC Incredible white screen and never did anything else. I took out the battery and tried factory reset, this produced the same result. I tried starting up the phone at that point again and when it got to the skateboarding android splash screen, it kept freezing and starting the animation over again. I am fine just doing a wipe through the USB if that's possible but I don't know how that is done. Thanks in advance for any help.
Me Too
I am having the same exact issue. If anyone knows how we can possibly fix our phones it would be much appreciated!
For now I have just switched to the Droid OG and waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to come out so I can upgrade.
I would really love to have my DInc back though.
Help! Please?
Try reformatting your sdcard make sure you choose FAT32 format. Just copy everything from your card to you pc, format the card and copy everything back on to you card. This has worked for me before. CM7 is codependant with your sd card and this has work for others as well.

Unfortunately it did not work. Still the same thing when I try and boot the phone up again.
Do you know what specific files that I need on the SD Card to boot my CM7? I could try and just keep them on there and clean out the rest of the information.
Flash latest clockwork recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. You can get the files here.
