Please help I messed up my girls white evo!!!

So my girlfriend just got her white evo yesterday and so I tried rooting it the same way i did mine through toast ....but it couldnt find files on the sd card so I didnt get to finish and once it booted back up the phone wouldnt read the sd card and wouldnt connect to the pc so i use the same method I used when My evo did the same thing using the Calkulin guide ..and got the phone to read the sd card but when it came to the second part ..nothing happened and it couldnt find the files again and now it wont charge unless the phone is off ..I tried re-rooting it but still get stuck after the p>>36 update.. ..but it wont help ..please help
Does she have the latest OTA update?
You could download it in update.zip format, put it on her SD card, and use it to bring her back to stock.
From there you can use the new root method (or SimpleRoot2) to get root and put roms on it.
Thank you ...where could i get it from and does simple root2 give me a full root ?
You can use the RUU from here and will put your phone back to stock.

It's the last one. Then use simple root ota edition

2 questions 1. do you think it will fix the non-charging and computer connetion problem ? and 2. will ii be able to run damage's lastest Rom with rooting it that way? and thanks again for the help
Yes it should fix your problems unless its hardware issues. But more than likely its software.
And 2 yes, you can still use the dc 3.2.3 Rom.

how do I update it ..from the blue recovery screen or through the white screen
this may help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Still No go
I cant bring her phone back to stock because the computer wont see the phone ..and ive tried using that methond for the computer to find it but it dosent work .....so is there another way to ether bring the phone back to stock without connecting it to the computer ..or another way to make the computer connect to the phone ?
SD / micro SD card reader?
You can use a media / card reader, or you could swap your microSD card from her phone with yours and move the files to it that way. Once you get it flashed back to stock you should be able to connect via computer again. Good luck!
but how to i return it to stock from the memory card ..how do I update it back
Ive tried letting it search for the update on the which screen and it dosent find it and Ive tried to update it through the blue recovery screen both dont work
Anyone got any ideas!?

Probably not. If you cant get your SD card to mount, then you probably screwed.
damn, same problem!!
Yeah, i couldnt get s off because sd wouldnt mount to be able to flash anything, nor would ir mount with the pc to able to flash ruu or anything.
Spending $90
Let me know if you figure it out.
Did you guys do/change anything RIGHT before it happened? Just wondering so maybe we can avoid it happening to anyone else.
I did nothing other then do a nan backup...

I've had this happen twice now, two diff. phones. sucks... I don't know what causes it, but you need to call Verizon and get a refurb. Make sure to pull the rom.zip from the most recent RUU file (from nov.) and rename it to PB31IMG.zip and you will be un-rooted and back to stock w/o repercussions of losing warranty.
also when not connected to power, does it do the vibrate three times then blinking green notification light until battery pull?

but bootloader isnt reading anthing from sd card so i wouldnt be able to flash that
Thats exactly what happened to me on Sunday. I had to get a new phone. If you notice the adb drivers aren't working, or mine weren't. I was thinking it was just a bad usb port but why would it go back to s-on. Mine did exactly same thing.

what rom were you using?
Well I was using reengineered and switched to magnolia. I unplugged the usb cable right before hitting reboot after flashing. It never booted up. I went through everything, even flashed back to RUU. When I went in to flash RUU I noticed I was s-on. I hadn't done anything that should do that. I was about to give up (already called verizon) when I plugged in the data cable, I had tried the power cable (i have 1 usb plugged into ac adapter and 1 into computer) but it didnt change anything. Soon as I plugged it into the data cable and powered the phone on, it booted up fine. I did managed to get it to reboot unplugging the usb cable while it was on. Once it just rebooted, once it went to the 5 vibrates/led flash error thing. Once I got it working it would work fine (except for usb/sdcard) until I plugged in the usb cable again. Would charge fine on ac though. I didn't notice the sdcard thing until later when I couldn't set any options in handcent. Somehow I just don't feel its just a bad usb port.
I still have my old phone, going to send it back tomorrow if you want to know anything.

it's very strange that you have 5 vibrates, I've read everywhere and I seem to be the only one who have had this happen on two diff phones, getting 3 vibrates... it boots to the splash screen then instead of boot animation it vibrates 3 times, blank screen and green flashing notification light only remedy to pull the battery. I found that it would boot up only with usb or wall power, and I was able to take the ROM.zip from the nov. update RUU and rename it to PB31IMG.zip since it's signed and got me back to stock splash, recovery ect. and since I was turned to S-ON ( dunno how). weird.
My situation is the same with the 5 vibrate and then blinking light until i remove the battery. I cant get the phone to start up at all i keep going to recovery.

ok, i was finally able to get stock android back on. So im getting somewhere at least.
I had to reformat my sd, rename my rom.zip to PB31IMG.zip and put it back on there. And now im at least back to stock. Now i gotta see if i can re root it.
its crazy that after getting the rom and recovery etc... back to stock, it still wants to vibrate 5 times if i unplug usb.

Trust me bro I feel your pain I had two phones do this, a blown speaker, one had the green noti light go out, first brand new one had the camera lens pushed in. even with all the problems I love the phone. just get it back to stock like you have, call 1800-922-0204, push 0, push 0, enter your account password and tell the rep whats up. get new phone. if you bought with amoled, thats what youll get. I should know Ive gone through 4 in the past week. I've brought back 2 boxes last week and I have 3 more to bring back tmw, at one point I had three incredibles sitting in my room. I have two batteries to send back too. man I can't wait to upgrade to the Thunderbolt. Every one of these refurbs it's something else. the last one with the green light blown out, that trackpad was PERFECT it hurts to loose that, this one is a little pushed in, but what can you do, not too mention the back door wasn't creaky at ALL, and on this on its sooooo looose. I just can't win. so this one needs cardboard behind the battery and its still not as good a fit as the last refurb... not too mention who knows if the cardboard isn't good?

Complete Problems , broken and need to put back to stock

Hi there my phones just been in for repair comes back fine and within a day headphone jack and call speaker decided to die on me. Basicaly i can only hear somoeone on the phone through loud speaker and the headphone jack just not registering headphones inserted.
I at first thought it was the rom ect. cyanogenmod 7 RC1 btw but i soon found out it wasnt .
I believe that i have to take it into for repair again but the problem is i cannot connect my phone to my pc to use the RUU. tried on a few computers as well. It just won't detect it i have tried putting htc sync on/off and all other drivers still no luck. I dowgraded it last time using the bootloader which worked but this time it doesnt.
could someone please help thankyou
You tried booting to Hboot and plugging in your USB there?

Well ive got it back to stock, basically i extracted the rom from the RUU, wiped phone, installed the rom from my goldccard using Bootloader ,, so send it in, still got my hardware issues but least my warranty isnt void ..

What state is your phone currently in? Please try to make as much sense as possible so we can help you. Can you boot the unrooted rom? What does your hboot say? Can you get into recovery? What rooting method did you try?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
First off, do NOT send it in to Sprint. That is very important. Do the following:
First, before doing anything else, connect your phone to your PC and enable disk drive. Wait a couple minutes now (I usually have about a 45-second wait before Windows registers the fact that there's a removable storage device detected) and see if you still aren't having your device show up.
Make sure you have a reasonably charged battery before doing this, since it can't charge during these steps.
Boot your phone into HBOOT (turn off, then hold Power and Vol-Down until the screen turns on.) Post here what the text in green at the top says.
Next, try to load recovery. Post which recovery you have (if there's no text and just an image then you're using the stock recovery). If you're on anything but stock, reboot your phone now. If you're on stock, pull the battery.
Finally, as well as what method you used to root, what did you do to UNroot?

[Q] Unroot Galaxy S3 mobile odin. Unique problem Charging port broken

I've done my fair share of searching and I couldn't come up with much so I strongly believe I have a unique problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction
Im have a rooted GS3 747 running Paranoid Android. A couple days ago the phone wouldn't charge. I tried different cables and batteries and after some testing with other GS3's I realized that my phone's charging port was broken. As a result I couldn't even connect my phone to the computer to unroot it with odin. I want to unroot so I can send in the phone for repair under warranty. So I downloaded mobile odin pro and proceeded to unroot my phone. I copied the original rogers rom to the external sd, followed the instructions and started the process. Everything looked like it was going fine until I got stuck on the samsung screen. Did some more research and learned that I had to do a factory data restart by booting into recovery mode. Did that. By now I'm feeling pretty good about all this. I followed the instructions all the way and I'm thinking that I'm gonna get a stock phone shortly. Wrong! The phone was still stuck on the samsung screen.
Now since I cant connect my phone to the PC cuz the charging port is broken I dont know what to do. I would have just flashed Clockwork Mod like I did when I first rooted and started all over but I cant.
If no one has a solution then Im just thinking of sending it in as is. Maybe they wont be able to see that the phone is rooted since they wont be able to connect it their PC without swapping out the motherboard to fix the problem.
I should add that I went to a repair store to try and fix it and they told me that the only way would be swap out your mobo.

You will want to be sure that your flash counter says 0. This can be found by entering download mode (vol down, home, power) and you will see "custom binary count". that is how they will tell that you have rooted. Have you entered recovery and done a factory reset to get past the boot screen? If you can full wipe/ factory reset and get back into Android, I recommend you use "triangle away" app to clear your flash counter.

I entered download mode and dont see flash counter anywhere. I got the warning screen were you have the option to restart or download.
Ya I entered recovery and did a factory reset but nothing. Really cant do anything with charging port broken.
I sent it in anyways for repairs. Hopefully they just replace it
I'm having the same problem with my Gs3 with CM10 4.2.2 running. Thought this would help.
