can you get into the bootloader? or try to repair your sd thru the computer.
yes i can access the bootloader but i cant access my sd card thru thu the computer . my phone wont pass the white screen. is there anything i can do thru the bootloader?
adb cuh
/10char
You can mount SD card from RA and clockwork recovery.

Adb to the phone and try to nan restore, if you can take the sdcard out of the evo and connect it might help. Or try to connect usb in recovery.
try adb remount /sd card
Try restoring through nand?

he cant get access to the sd card. have you tried removing the card then booting up, battery pull then put it back in.
Maybe you should read a little more. The best way to get the information you are looking and to keep it retained in your head is to discover it your self.
A quick search for ADB How To might do the job.
yea im tryin to do adb i guess. i got my sd card to finally show up but wen i try to load the nandroid which yes i should kill myself for being so lazy which dates way bak to 10-01 . it jus stays frozen on the that bootscreen i had
i swear all i tryed to flash was the combo update of the radios from calkulin and all this had to happen! ughhhhhh fml!

You really need adb. I know is kinda scary I was in your shoes once .but read about it download it play with it it will help you in the long run I have done what u have done at least 3 or 4 times the answer is here in the forums. It kills SD card and usb that's why your computer wont see the sd card . Only other option is if your have a SD card reader plug it into your computer sorry I can't be more help.
I had this happen to me on a plane, almost exact same circumstances. The HTC kernel in RLS4 is not compatible with the latest radios.
You need to use adb to push one of two things to the phone:
1. One of the alternate kernels - They work with the latest radios
2. The older (octoberish) radios - Something before the december release
Steps-ish:
adb shell
-> mount /dev/sdcard
-> exit
adb push one_of_the_two_above_zips.zip /dev/sdcard/zipname.zip
Then use clockworkmod to flash that zip from the SDcard.
i finally got an old nandroid to load up so ima just go from there. im losing alotta important things but ill learn from that but i do dearly thank you all . !

So I think i have officially bricked my Evo. Apologies if this is the wrong sections. Didnt know where to put it.
Well I had rooted with Simpleroot and everything was just fine. But when i tried to install a copy of the Fresh root suddenly i was stuck at the white screen. So i went into recovery and and wiped everything. I also partitioned the sd card... Dont know if i should have done that but i figured it would wipe everything.. It did and now my zip files are gone. I Dont know what to do.. Yikes
Help much appreciated .
Lol because lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Probably shoulda gone into Q&A....but u erased all.the data on ur card when u formatted it. You should probably follow the root instructions again from the start including copying the files to your sd card and u should be fine.
You could have done a simple search and fixed ur issue.

Sorry I thought this my be the wrong forum section. I cant access my Sd card though?
Your Evo isn't bricked.
Select the USB-MASS toggle feature in recovery mode, that'll mount your SD card to your computer, then drop a ROM or two onto the root of your SD card, wipe, then flash one.
Or pull the SD card out and put it in an adapter and plug into computer, then drop a couple roms on it

Youre definitely not bricked. Pull the battery out, boot into fast boot, wait a sec while it does its thing, then select wipe/restore factory defaults. Then it should be fine. This happened to me 2 days ago. When bricked, the phone won't even turn on. It does nothing, thus the term.

Which ROM's are giving you theses problems?
Ive tried the fresh 1.0.1 thats when it all started then i tried the EVO-NonSense.
I had been flashing roms before the Fresh one now im just stuck at the white screen.
Are you using Koush's Clockwork recovery? Try flashing Yay 4 Juggs ROM.
Im using the RA recovery that came with SimpleRoot
Yeah, just try flashing a different ROM.
Hmm i'll try. Is there anyway to earse my root and start over? Because for now im just get the htc Evo 4g white logo everytime i try and flash a new ROM
Did you update the radios and all that too? Did you make sure and use the right version of simple root for your software?
Yeah Yesterday I was flashing ROMS normally. Something may have happened when i tried to flash a radio and wimax

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBu6GsRZMdI Some random video I looked up on YouTube that shows you how to unroot. It's a hassle, to unroot, then root again, I'd give flashing a different another shot before I did that.
Stupid question: Are you wiping data and dalvik cache before flashing a ROM?
I rooted my Evo last night with no problem and then decided to risk taking chances modding. I ended up replacing the HTC lockscreen with the vanilla one! However, I ended up trying to do a clockwork mod (the one that has the battery number on the top) and now my phone is in bootloop. I can't get my computer to recognize the phone now to download something on it. Anyone know of a way around this?
You should be able to pull the battery and be able to boot right back to recovery. Did you try that? Loops are POST recovery override so I would guess you haven't tried this yet?

Thanks for taking the time to help me btw
Have you tried a different USB port? Strangely, sometimes Windows gets picky with a particular port / phone combo... and then choosing a different port often fixes connection failures.
Also, did you try factory resetting the phone as well? Like... clear storage... followed by full wipe?

Yeah I tried to reset factory but it resets it right into "Clockwork recovery." Trying to change ports now.
Yeah my main problem is I downloaded that mod and I need to get the phone back to how it was when I first used the Unrevoked 3.2
try booting to fastboot... then reboot your PC... then use a previously unused USB port... switch things around if you have to.
Actually... I have another idea...
IF you have unrevoked forever on there, I am guessing this should work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764062&highlight=amon_RA
that thread shows how to easily get switched to amon_RA from clockwork essentially in one easy step... but it requires that you push the img file.. which you are mentioning you cannot do... BUT... if you have a card reader/writer, you can pop your micro SD card out of the phone and into a reader/writer and put the img file in its root... along with a ROM of choice. then boot to the phone and it will automatically ask you if you want to restore the image file. say yes and you will be loaded up with amon!! amon is better. once you have that on there, pull the pcimg36 file off and flash the ROM that you picked from your amon recovery.
does this make sense? if not i can try to give better detail.

Cyanogenmod6 is simply the best, but it is VERY buggy at best and needs and unlock, which you don't have. I like Ava v7 because of it's simplicity and stability. A lot of people like evio and baked snack though. I don't know why. I don't personally.
Member now woo!
I have been using incredibly re-engineered z and downgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.7 as the instructions say to do to load nils business sense z . I downloaded the rom and used Rom Manager to install the new rom, as I always do, except for restoring sometimes in recovery. For some reason when the phone booted back there was a horizontal black line across the screen below the "HTC Incredible boot screen...then there are two vertical white lines at each end of the screen and the center is black.. The home,menu,back and search button still have haptic feedback, so i assumed the phone didnt quite make it into recovery...pulled the battery...tried regular reboot...same thing happens at the boot screen. Got phone into bootloader and when i hit fastboot, it shoots out a bunch of errors it seems real quickly. All is can read is SD checking...no image or wrong image...PB310IAG.zip (i think)...lack of heap. I tried to get the phone into recovery from the bootloader screen and the same thing keeps happening. I'm stuck and have no clue what kind of fix there is for this...am i bricked? I dont get this...have flashed roms 20 times or so and nothing like this has ever happened...please help!
Sense you can't get into recovery you are going to have to flash back to stock with an RUU..... if you want I will help you through the process..... first check and make sure your SD card is formatted fat32... and let me know and we will go from there

I'm decent with computers, but far from an expert
what did i do to the phone so i can try not to do this again. Its like rom rom manager messed me up...sux

I use windows myself but all you need it for is to download the file and then copy it to your SD the rest is done on the phone its actually pretty easy ill just have to explain it in more detail for you.... so if you want to wait go ahead and download the file its about 180mb so you will have it and we will get you fixed

Boot into the bootloader, then select clear storage. This is a COMPLETE wipe of data...
Or, try and flash a new rom first before doing the prior.
i cant flash anything cause my sd card is wipe, there is nothing on it... i did the clear storage and nothing... how can i get my sd card to be read on my pc or mac

hi all, kinda at my wits end here (yes it is 2AM, Have spent some time trying to find answers in other posts, have tried many fixes, but to no avail)
late last night i was flashing the final release build of my rom onto my evo. no problem, went to make a nandroid of it (using clockwork), no problem. I have an 8gb sd card (samsung). so i reboot back into the rom, and that when things went to ***
The sd card was not detected by my evo after that. ok, no problem, i will see if i can see it in my linux box, plug in the cable to the usb, nothing. ok i run windows too, reboot into windows, same thing, card not being read.
no problem i have a 2gb sd card in my old blackberry. i format that, put it in the evo, doesn't read it. put the 8gb card i had in the evo in the old blackberry, it reads it.
so i format both cards in the blackberry, put amon ra pc36img.zip on both cards, go to my evo, and go to the bootloader, gonna do the install of the recovery this way, nope, cant read card. ok no problem, i was gonna try flashing a stock rom, copied the files over to the card(s) with the blackberry, put them back into the evo, nothing..time to search xda for fixes.
tried the sd card/usb fix from caulkin, but can't use it because adb and fastboot will not recognize my device at all. as well as the last reboot i did before coming here it seems my rom is also gone from the evo.
any advice for me on how i can proceed, before i call sprint tomorrow?
if anyone needs any more steps to what i have done/ not done to my evo let me know.
thanks in advance guys

No prob man. Glad its working for ya. Clockwork doesn't always flash correctly for some users, which is why most use amon ra or twrp, but everyone can choose as they all have there own key features.
