I would try simple things first. Do you have a card reader or a different phone to put your card in, so you can mount it to your pc? If so, mount the sd card to your pc, and use windows to check the disk for errors. Let it run and do its thing. Put the sd card back in you're evo. If it stil won't read it, then use your Evo to format the sd card (back up the card first). Formatting it could help. Do you have any other cards to test with? And, as far as the fix you've tried,and you're getting stuck at "waiting for device", I'm not sure. How long did you wait for? Also, do you have any other USB cables to try? I have read on numerous occasions, of people having trouble with the factory HTC cable. And lastly, as the previous poster asked, have you tried any other ROMs other than what you're on? (and what rom are you on, btw?)
hmm...argh!!
thanks for responding. I just finished to an unroot. My phone does boot up fine now and there is no more "sd card removed" error, but my phone still doesn't see my sd card. And it keeps on powering down and then vibrating 5 times, then the led indicator flashes green and i cant restart my phone without pulling the battery and replacing it. I have a card reader on my pc (im running vista). The pc reads it just fine. ???

Hmm, that is strange. So your pc reads the contents of the card just fine, and when you run a 'disk check' on the sd card, it turns up no errors? What were you doing on the phone when this first started, or was it out of the blue? So since your Evo doesn't see the sd card, then formatting it using the phone isn't an option I presume? What about formatting it using windows (fat32), then putting it in the phone, is that something you tried already?
As far as the phone vibrating 5 times and then you get the blinkng led, i believe that is the phone kicking itself into diagnostic mode. I'm not really clear as to what exactly that is, or why it would be happening, but I am sure that it is in diagnostic mode at that time. So you said you unrooted it, and you're currently on stock, s-off ROM right now? Do you still get the same error when you try the fix that you were initially trying to execute?
And i cant flash any ROM's due to the fact that my computer wont recognize my phone, therefore i cant access the ADB Shell. This is so frustrating!!!
i was in the process of flashing a rom and thats when the problems started. I haven't tried formatting the SD Card. I dont see how that would help me, because i can access the card and its contents just fine but my phone wont recognize there being an sd card in the phone. It seems to be a trifecta of evil!!! LOL 1.) PC doesn't see the phone 2.) Phone doesn't see sd card 3.) i can't flash anything because i can do nothing in the ADB Shell. I initially went the Unrevoked3 route of rooting and then i went the way of flashing the PC36IMG file that you put on the root of the sd card and then renaming it. The guy in this thread seemed to have the same exact issue and he figured it out. I dont know what im doing wrong.

Once you format it, before you put anything else on the card, I would put it back in the Evo, and see if it will recognize it, totally fresh from the format. If that still fails, then I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry, hopefully someone else can offer some advice if that still doesn't work. I would consider dropping by sprint for some service if you can't get it handled.
Is it still giving you the 5 vibrates? And also, if it says s-on, you are unrooted, Forgive my previous typo.
thanks. i'll let you know what it does after the format. hopefully this works. (fingers crossed)

Glad you got that figured out. Didn't you backup your sd card to your pc before you formatted? Just copy everything back over to the card.

Wish I could help you on that, but any thread I've ever seen where people were having that problem, where it vibrates 5 times then goes black and the led blinks, the only resolution I ever saw (and I could be wrong, I'd do a search on google about that, quite a bit of stuff on there) was replacing the phone. I'm not sure of the cause of that. If there is a fix for it, xda and google should have it somewhere though. (but I still think replacing is the option for you)

I was rooted and running a 2.2 rom and wanted to install the damagecontrol 3.2 rom, which, as I understand it, requires NAND to be unlocked. I downloaded Simple Root and tried to unlock NAND.
When I turn on the phone I get stuck in a boot loop.
I try the recovery console. It takes a few minutes to load PC36diag.zip, the update for NAND which I already installed.
When I say no to the update and no to restarting I get into the menu, but if I try RECOVERY it loads the phone with the exclamation point, but I am unable to connect using the adb batch file I have always used before.
Also, when I try HBOOT USB the drivers aren't able to be installed. The device is read as "Android 1.0".
Can someone please help me?

Bootloop means you need to do a full wipe.
First thing's first, delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD. Then when you get the image of a phone with an exclamation mark, hold down the power and volume up key to get into recovery.
As for the last bit, I'm sorta' confused what you're problem is.
Part of my problem is that I can't delete the file from the SD card. Can't get into the OS and can't turn on USB.
Something similar happened to me. For me, instead of booting Damage Control, I switched it to Fresh and booted Fresh v3.0 and it worked and booted. Then I unlocked the Nand and made a nandroid. Then whipped everything 2 times and booted DC and it worked fine after that.

You can get in to usb and put fresh on there by going to recovery mode and selecting one of the options that says USB, i can't remember the exact wording.
Added: I just checked it's called "USB-MS toggle"

When you get the exclamation mark screen, hold down the Power and Volume Down key. Once in recovery mode, select the USB-MS Toggle feature, this mounts your SD card yto your PC. You should then be able to access the root of your SD card via the Removable Disk icon on your computer.
It wouldn't let me load USB from the console/whatever either... Another weird driver issue.
But after several more hard battery pulls I let it try again to boot and it showed me the "HTC, quietly brilliant" boot screen, which was different that what it had before.. I let it load and now I'm in android, but it says my SD card is removed.
Is this a part of the process necessary to unlock NAND?... Do I have NAND?

Check and see if your USB connection is in Charge Only or Disk Drive mode.

no. You make your nand back up when you are in recovery mode and you select nand back up and it backs up everything. You'll need to follow through with the rest of the Nand unlocking instructions.
Did you download and follow the steps of the flash_image and mtg-eng.img etc etc...? Then the rest of the steps?
That's the first thing I tried to do when android loaded. It's not even an option. It says I removed my SD card.
I restarted, denied the update to get through to recovery, and I still can't connect with adb -it shows "Unknown Device" in the device manager.

are you connected with charge only? try hot sync (you need to install the program, which include drivers. this is on the htc website)
Mine worked for hot sync but not charge only
Looks like you may need to run through this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
I've been reading that post.
When I select fastboot, it gives me other options.
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
powerdown
If I select bootloader it takes me back to the main menu, if I select reboot, I get back to android and still do not have access to my SD card, so I can't get out of the debugging rom, or whatever it is.
I put another SD card in, so I don't have to wait on the update.zip to be read every single reboot, but that's all it did.
Am I doing something wrong?
Don't know then... sorry. You can try starting over from the beginning?
Best of luck.

And my phone says the the charger isn't delivering sufficient voltage... and I'm down to 8%.

its always an good idea to have a micro sd to sd adapter
After 3 locations, I found a Sprint store that actually existed... had them copy an update.zip that I brought on a flash drive onto my micro sd card. I tried booting into recovery and it didn't do the update. They suggested another store that does repairs, so I went to my 5th store, where I just dropped off my phone, hoping they'll reflash it fore me. I'm expecting a call back.
What a wonderful birthday this is turning out to be... lol. FML
UPDATE: I called them and they said the phone needs to be exchanged... but I don't know how they're going to react to it having the recovery/debug version of android on it.
Does anyone have ANY advice?
Just tell them to put in a fully charged battery for you. Then when you get it home try the Simple Root Guide you tried at first. This time post your issue (if you have any others) in that thread and myself or Jiqqa will help. Make sure before starting that guide that you have .NET framework and HTC sync installed on your computer. But you should be able to root phone and then be able to flash custom ROM after that.
I ****ed up my phone somehow and I don't know how to fix it. I was going to install a new Rom, was wiping data and went to partition my SD card to try A2SD. I couldn't do it in clockwork recovery so I thought I'll connect the phone to my PC and run Paul's recovery from r5 rooting method. The problem was that somehow both recovery's were running and I'm not sure what I pressed but now my phone can't recognize the SD card, nor can the PC recognize the phone when I connect it. The Rom can boot up, but somehow it's not working properly, I can't make/receive calls but for example WiFi works. I guess its not bricked since Android launches but I have no idea how to fix what I messed up. Somebody please help me
Your device is usb bricked, search for usb brick in the development, this can be easily fixed.
Thanks, I found it, but I'm stuck at step 1: "Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card."
Where should I enter that command ? Thanks.
EDIT: I fixed it ! Thank you so much. I knew it will be easy to fix just I couldn't think clearly and forgot about the USB bricking issue
Yes, this is one n00b 1st. post... but bare with me, as I (think) I have done all the right things.
The Issue:
I flashed the LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5 A2SD++ to a HTC Desire (Bravo, Root, S-off, Full Wipe).
It is fast and seems to work really well, but there is one major problem: The phone do not recognized USB connection.
I plug the AC charger in, and it takes 2-5 min for the phone to start charging, and the phone seems to think of it as USB charging, not AC...
Plucking the phone to the PC gives error form windows about "unknown USB device", and the phone newer seems to register the PC: It just go to USB charging, after 2-5 min.
The first flashing of the LeeDroid rom caused a USB Brick, that FastBoot "rebootRUU" and "enableqxdm 0" fixed.
Don't know if that have anything to say.
Yes, I guess n00b problem, and I guess all is explained 117 times.
But please... point me to the right threads.
You have what's known as a USB brick. Basically, you had two problems. Your first was that your phone did not recognise that there was an SD card inserted, you have now fixed that. Unfortunately however you do now have a USB brick, which gives exactly the problems you describe. Do some searching on the forum, there's several threads explaining how to fix this.
try this thread

Thanks a bunch!
I vent to that same thread earlier, when the SD card did not work, but did not find a fix fore it there.
It is all starting to make sense now.
I'l try flowing the guide and, and see if I can make it on my own again.
Thanks Again.
Both SD and USB Un-Bricked now.
Happy Happy!
Thanks.
I've been there and done it. I had EXACTLY the same issues as yourself and on fixing the SD card issue I thought brilliant, "I am legend".... It was only after trying to connect the phone to the PC that I discovered I was not. I was only half way to fixing my problems. I did however make a text file detailing what I did in case it ever happened again and here it is (you will need an image file however which can be got from the thread linked above) :-
============================================
To gain access to SD card:
Put phone into fastboot mode (back button + power)
In CMD, go to dir C:\Android\android-sdk\Tools
Type: path C:\Android\android-sdk\Platform-tools)
Input "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
Before trying the stuff below, try to run this command first - fastboot oem eraseconfig
I had already done the below which didn't work then running that it suddenly did work so try it first, if no joy do the below and if still no joy then try the command again.
ALSO FOUND THIS TO TRY -
So I download the HTC hboot stock partition, flashing through fastboot command, and do 'fastboot flash misc mtd0.img' reboot... and ta...da ... my USB connection fix, Bluetooth is working too, testing with some other rom, and all fine ...
AND -
1.download recovery *.img file.
2.put it in androidsdk\tools folder.
3.boot in to fastboot by pressing back button and power button together.
4.run :-
fastboot flash recovery *.img
===================================================
EDIT: Ah you fixed it whilst I was replying (was on a phone call). Nice one fella.
I tried to root my phone but on the last step it said the internal memory ran out.
I Restarted the phone and it kept restarting at the boot screen. so I went to recovery mode and used a recovery file name (Esprimg.zip). After that My phone would only start if there was (A) no SD card when starting. or (B)the phone was connected to the computer but after I unplugged it from the computer it would reboot. Now with the phone on it will not pull up the SD card it does not even see it in normal operation but it does see it in boot mode(volume down + power).Also debugger mode will not work on my phone the box is checked but no icon appears at the top and when plugged into my computer it won't recognize the device.
Please help me even if just to get it to normal operation I've already done a hard factory reset.
76 reviews and I have not even got an idea I guess I'm alone on this problem.
I don't know lol, all I got was, have you tried a differend sd card or formatting the one you have? I am not sure what the essential things you need in there, but I would try to remove things till you only had the essentials. Back it up first of course.
My phone was running fine till yesterday night. I was using RSK SE Odexed rom with cm7r2 hboot. Today morning i got up and pressed the power button to turn on the screen (i didnt switch it off last night). But all i get into is the hboot menu. It checks for PB99IMG.zip file in the sd card as usual. But non of the keys work (Power or volume) even after the file check. The only thing i can do is remove battery. but pressing the power button does the same thing. Tested my sd card on another device which showed my fat32 system was fine but the ext4 parttition is empty (It shouuld not be empty). i tried flashing recovery by a PB99IMG.zip file. but the phone did not detect the zip file. Tried connecting the phone to pc and use fastboot and adb commands. but the laptop does not detect the phone (tried 'fastboot devices' and 'adb devices'). Both didnt show any device. google usb drivers and htc drivers are installed on laptop. dont know what to do??? please help......
Are you able to enter into recovery?
Try removing the battery, wait for 15-30mins, put it back and press power and vol down buttons simultaneously.

you need card max size 2gb to recognize the file PB99IMG.
Treid with a 32 gb card. placed the PB99IMG.zip for stock hboot at the root of the sd card. started the phone (both ways: (1)power and (2)power + volume down) and straight off the hboot menu was visible. it scanned the sd card and when u get an option to flash the file it was writen
"Parsing....
(1)Bootloader"
below which i think there should be an option for- volume down(...) or volume up(...). But there was no such option.:crying:
