I have such a headache trying to search for the best solution to this issue...I know it's been a problem for many. My evo is rooted but I haven't done anything else. In a previous post I mentioned I don't have data service right now, and I was afraid to to do anything until I found out whether that mattered. Now that I know it doesn't, a new problem occurred that I need help with. After browsing through my SD on my PC, I noticed I couldn't install or uninstall from the market... and that my phone wasn't reading my SD. I read about people removing a file on their SD under android. secure, that would solve this problem... but my PC can't read my SD either. I'm thinking about a factory data reset.... I'm not worried about losing any apps or pics. I just want to make sure I don't mess up anything. Thanks in advance for guidance here.
Well if its not reading the card, the first thing you could do would be to go into recovery and then format the sdcard.

Okay, i'm new here but reading all of your threads is just confusing me.. there is so much conflicting information.
To begin, I bought my phone at the sprint store before i was even considering this thing called "rooting". I did the OTA update, didnt know any better at the time... however I did toast's root and I honestly have no idea if i got it to work or not but I was able to do the ad blocking thing and what not.....
I started having an Sd card error on my camera, telling me i had "insufficient rights" to the card...
and the video camera in Qik simply didnt acknowledge that there was a card at all and to insert one.
Now. I attempted the OTA, to fix the SD card, and i thought it worked at first but then it acted up again.....
Now i'm hearing this thing about Unrevoked?? if i have already done it toasts' way can i still run unrevoked or is it advised that i flash it back to stock rom and wipe all my data AGAIN....
anyways heres the funny thing...
i had an extra 8GB micro sd card from my Touch Pro 2, and I put in my EVO and formatted it... and.... now everything works fine....
my version is still 1.32.651.1
What should I do now? Since im not having any problems since i changed the card...
is there data on that card is necessary? or that i can just transfer over?
I dont want to perform the OTA again, but i know if i did it would answer alot of questions based on the result...
I need advice...

I have heard of the advantages of S-OFF and would like to do it. However i have also heard of the risks of bricking my phone permanently. Anyone has any ideas how big is the risk? As in percentage?
I have no idea how accurate this is, but I saw someone mention a figure of about 0.4% failure rate.
Just a reminder - no idea how accurate this is - don't come looking me up if yours does happen to go bad.
Anyway, is there a particular reason you want to S-OFF? Perhaps you don't actually need to which avoids the risk in the first place.
Anyone else than the AlphaRev team giving failure rates is just guessing. And i doubt that even AlphaRev knows. I believe failure rate of the process is next to nothing, but the incapability from the user is what causes bricks. If you know what you are getting in to and follow the procedure without doing stupid things there is no realistic risk.
However there is just the bad luck, which at least once happened, where someone's computer crashed during the procedure.
Still keep in mind: You are the only one responsible for your phone, no one else.
what he said ^
User errors like loose usb cable that gets knocked durring the process
or pc crash. Ive S-OFF'd 2 desires and done similar stuff to a HD2 and
never had any problems. Been worried sick each time but everything went
smooth.
Just make sure the usb cable fits tight if youre going to do it. Both mine and
my friends HTC cable slip out by just brushing past it. I use a samsung cable.
Besides what @TheGhost1233 and @esk02k said, you should pay attention to the file you are downloading and use an MD5 tool to check the sum of your downloaded file against the one specified in the thread / site (you don't want to be flashing a corrupted file). And only do a flash after you have fully charged your battery
Hi all
Aplha Rev S-off, Amon Ra recovery Htc Desire 2.2
I just installed miui rom update over miui.19 r1 and my phone stopped working and it is showing sim card error, I tried 3-4 different sims and non of them are working. another problem is it stopped recognising the sd card same i tried 2 others but no luck

i tried using different sd card when i tried to do nand backup on new card just to check if its appear on system then it showed to start backing up then
Error: Run @[email protected] via adb
and if i tried to upload backup file flash zip from sd card in recovery then it is saying E: can’t mount /sdcard
I have backups of past around 3 different backups , but they are on my cards and my phone is unable to detect sd card so can not go further.
Is there any other way to do restore on phone using backup files, if its not detecting sd card

No idea how you got the idea to post this here but whatever.
Sound like a USB brick. If you are still rooted try this and skip step 1 else this thread might have some useful info for you.
If you have more question do it in another thread since it's completely off topic here.
Lol I just wanna change stuff like splash screen and such.

go for it, just make sure you have a good pooter, usb lead and charge your battery up full, im glad i took the plunge, my desire now runs a rom from a desire HD and i have 2gb internal memory lol
ok, so I'm going to be selling my phone here soon and what i'd like to do is clear all of my items off the sd card by reformating it. I understand my backups will also be cleared off of it as well. My question is... once I'm on the rom I want and I do a reformat of the sd card that wont disable any of my rooting abilities will it? I understand it will remove the pc36img and all my stuff but if I'm on a rooted rom and I reformat the sd card will I will be able to go into recovery and perform a nandriod back up of the current rom I'm running as I normally would?
any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
p.s. also does anyone know how much the evo 3d will be if bought outright? Curious as to the answer because I was reading online it will be 499 however when I went into the local spring store the guy said 599....
thanks again!
Root will keep working fine.
thanks, and I will still be able to perform backups for the rom? kinda laymens questions but just being safe.
Yes you will
nvm............
Ok i posted this in q&a forums but imma put this on here too. ok so i wanted to install data2ext after having to re flash CM7 on my phone. so after i installed it at first it was working fine, but when i rebooted my phone, and tried to play music, install apps to my SD, etc, my phone wouldnt let me, i tried goin to storage, and my phone didnt show up! i tried hitting the format button on that page and that didnt work either, i have googled like a mad man for the last 3 days and nothing has worked
! please tell me someone has the answer to my horrible problem, i have a lot of vital things on there that i could never get back so pleaseeee!!!!! help me!
I know this isn't an answer (and it looked like you were getting some help in another thread), but rule #1 when doing anything with an sd card: Back it up first!
Have you tried removing the sd card and putting it into a card reader to see if that gives access to it?
Did you ever figure out a work around this, ogimnella? I've come into a similar problem.
@mojoffdawal no, unfortunately (and fortunately) i had to use a backup memory card, it is another data2ext guide that works (cuz i installed it on the backup) i will edit the guide soon as my pc fixes!

Hi,
Basically what has happened is, yesterday i flashed the ROM RcMixS however i think i may have done something terrible wrong along the way. I tried to restore my previous backup however had no luck with this. I am currently restoring phone using the RUU, for the 2nd time, since tried it again and same result. Im thinking maybe this good be pointing to a bad partition on the SD card? Is there a way i can fix a bad partition without buying a new card?
Thanks

theres no such thing as a troubleshooting guide sticked on the Q&A forum and it will not help you.
Yes i have seen your guide, and it did help me the last time when i broke my phone. Thanks for the guide! But ive tried looking at your guide, but so far ive tried both boot problem sections, with no success, and the advanced boot problems to. Hence why i might be thinking that its the SD partition?
Did a full format (of everything), and tried flashing a ROM you KNOW works e.g. cm7?
The guide is there to get your phone in working order, not for specific ROM's
Ive wiped everything apart from the SD card and have tried flashing SuperNova, Gingerburst, Leedroid's and AcesMod007. All of which have ended up with the same result. So im definitely thinking its my phone or SD card which is causing the problems?
Edit: managed to fix it myself, by wiping the card on 4ext recovery then re partioning the card. Seems to have worked well
