1. Ok, so I rooted my phone with UnrEVOked 3, I decided to hard reset, and recover with Ultimate Droid because it wasn't booting up before. So now my phone is working using Ultimate Droid. I want to know if there's a way to get my phone back to using the stock UNROOTED OTA.
and
2. My computer doesn't seem to recognize the phone itself anymore, only the sd card as a storage device. How do I fix this?
Help to both would be MUCH appreciated.

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.
Hey All,
New to XDA but been using this site years so my level of Android knowledge is not bad.
I am currently having a huge problem with my Nexus. I used Google Apps encryption on it recently and that seems to have bricked my phone. I am unable to reset to factory settings to wipe the encryption as recommended by Google and I am stuck now with a bricked Nexus.
I also tried flashing stock roms with Odin which appears to work but the encryption still remains. All I am trying to do is put the stock back on my phone and re-root but I am having no joy. When using CWM to flash a new rom the system does not mount in recovery mode so I can't load any other roms. I have also tried the fastboot method but it stalls on waiting for device all the time.
If anyone has seen this and can help or if anyone just knows how to fix it please help me! I am stuck now with a useless Nexus. I should have just left it alone but as usual I couldn't.
Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.
By some chance is your phone both rooted with CWM?
Hey, yeah it was so when I did a factory reset it could'nt use the stock bootloader so it didn't know how to wipe it. Unfortunetly once you apply encryption from a Google Apps the only way to remove is to factory reset.
I got around it by fastbooting the stock bootloader, radio and image from Google. Then I completed a manual reset using the original bootloader.
A world of hurt really! I have learned a lot but never going near Google Apps encryption again. It also slowed down the phone too.
Anyhow all sorted now, re rooted and running revolution rom now.
theres another thread with a guy who had the same problem. I wonder if vzw nexus has an issue with encrypting...
If the phone wasn't rooted I would have had no issues. It is simply a problem when it comes to loading roms. In CWM the recovery cant mount the data/system so you can't flash anything. Also doing a factory reset from settings doesnt work because the phone is looking for a stock bootloader which it doesn't have once you root. So I ended up in a loop and could do nothing. Fortunetly I learned all about adb and fastboot this morning, never heard of them before and that allowed me to reload stock and unroot. I still had to wipe the phone using the bootloader as I couldn't get into the phone or past the encryption.
If anyone is having issues with this I will gladly help as I really thought that my phone was bricked and was very frustrated. The only way I got help was from a guy on this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392037&page=3
Hey,
Had this phone since about 2 weeks after release, rooted and unlocked bootloader as soon as I got it.
I recently changed to TWRP, from CWRM, and wiped all data (including system & SD) as I was having sd errors with the camera.
Now my computer wont recognise it....for simple file transfer to internal SD. So it still has recovery software, but i need to get a rom to the SD. Tried Flashtool (back from my x10mini pro days) and I'm stuck.
USB mount doesn't help from TWRP.
Any help would be awesome!! I'm so rusty....things were hard with the x10mini pro, but have been so easy for ages with the Xperia S (because of great work from the devs) that I dont know how to solve this one.
Pls help me out

i have a wildfire s (rooted with s off)
i was getting memory problems whenever i was installing software. it was saying memory full, so i tried using methods to use ext2 partirion on sd card to use as system memory.
i could not get this to work.
so i thought i would look into putting a custom om on the phone to see if i could do it that way.
i installed clockworkmod recovery on the phone and selected backup, to back up my existing rom.
this was taking hours so i pulled battery and done a factory reset on the phone.
this worked. i then found a rom to put on there and just tried installing rom through cwm in android.
this failed and crashed my phone.
i am now stuck on the htc logo screen while loading. i have tried using the volume and power button to get into boot loader and tried going into recovery and the phone just hangs on me.
is there a way i can install the stock rom back on the device to get it working again just by putting in on the memory card. or is there any other method someone can suggest to me to help me get my phone back working.
i am not very good when it comes to these sorts of things, so if i could be pointed to and idiots proof method of doing this, it would be much appreciated.
sorry to trouble you all if this has been asked so many times.
thanks in advance

Hello,
I have an HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) that I had a friend root (he has a PC, I have a Mac, plus he's done it before) and all was going well until I installed a rooted app (I think it was Super SU or something) and my phone went into a boot loop, showing nothing but the HTC logo when I tried to turn it on. I panicked, even though it wasn't the end of the world, as I had just bought this phone from a classifieds source and had no personal info/pictures/contacts/anything on it yet.
However, I am still stuck with a soft bricked phone. My friend suggested going into recovery mode and rebooting (see attached picture) but it didn't help. Then he tried side-loading a ROM onto the device, but his computer (both of them, PCs, and even his brother's PC for good measure) didn't show it recognized the phone anywhere in the file system. And he said he looked EVERYWHERE and tried everything. Then he tried downloading HTC's own proprietary system for installing a custom ROM (I forget what it's called) but his PC wouldn't recognize it, so he couldn't use it either). He all but gave up on trying to restore my phone to how it was after he ran into the last of these problems.
I, however, refuse to believe that with the wealth of knowledge at my disposal via the internet that there is no way to fix this, even though I have a Mac. Is there ANYONE who's patient and Terminal-savvy that can help me get my M8 back to normal working condition? I don't even care about rooting it anymore. Thanks in advance for your instructions/suggestions.
I would just go into TWRP and mount the internal storage as usb, copy a ROM to the phone, umount internal storage and do a full wipe and install the ROM.
Do you want Stock, modified stock, CM??, GPE? you just need to figure out which version of ROM you want.
I think I already tried this...
I was just trying to install the stock firmware via a micro USB but the phone wouldn't recognize it on the micro USB stick in TWRP, is there a reason for this? As I'm assuming a restore to stock firmware is impossible if it can't recognize or read the firmware I'm trying to restore it to. Thank you
Hello? Anyone?
