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

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.

That's a pretty douchie comment. Just because notify likes you, and everyone treats you like **** in the real world, doesn't give you an excuse to be a " richard" in a forum.

Im sorry you feel that way maybe you need to hug from someone but not me. There was nothing rude or wrong with my posting. There are basic knowledge required to do what the OP wants to do and so I directed toward that direction. If you would like to continue to express your PERSONAL feelings please PM me.
Yeah Anyways. The problem now is that everytime i try and boot from a zip file i just get a white screen. Is there anyway to bypass this?

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?
hate to ask for help bc u can usually find the answer somwhere....if my phone IS really bricked would love someone to tell me that so i can move on. seemed to have read that if it comes on then its not bricked..idk. ive rooted, flashed new roms and flashed it back completely stock.
i bricked it by attemting to flash it to boost...wrote nv items and zero'd out the meid. was looking for the esn so i could do the same, got a few of em.....phone fell battery flew..now i cant get past the first white htc screen...now this is where things get funky. a step of the guide i was following required root so i did n i saw cwm.. wen i got the bootloop i wasnt really worried at first bc i kne i could try a few things. well that didnt last long. booted into hboot n it said s-on..? then it wouldnt let me in recovery, just rebooted to the bootloop. i tried runnig unrevoked agn even tho i couldnt boot...couldnt read the phone. put the pb13img on sd card and it went thru its updating process n asked to reboot. reboots in same bootloop. next i tried runnig RUU..it runs and reboots my phone to the same bootloop...is there anyway to restore the ORIGINAL nv items and meid/esn...since these are the only things other than running unrevoked that ive changed i think thats where my problem lies. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Which radio is currently flashed on your phone? I had this issue once, I had to flash back to the 7.28 radio to get my phone to boot.
damn when i saw this post, i thought it was my post! i did almost the exact same thing and its acting almost the same as your phone. i did the ruu and it worked on the one posted in my thread, ran through and all but nothing. how would i done grade the radio?
i never flashed a radio...hboot says 2.15.00.07.28..
lol waxworks i saw ur post also... started reading and we pretty much did the same thing on pretty much the same step of flashing to boost...mad as hell too stuck with this incognito for awhile smh..
is there anyway to flash a nandroid without being able to get into cwm? idk man jus not looking good.
Reading your post not sure if you used the stock image and tried to update using the hboot menu.There is a thread 5 vibe fix that may help you get a rom image back to your phone

I think we have bricks! I tried to do some other method that involved running a script and cmd prompts. Didn't do anything as I am also "S" on. I think all the fixes are for "S" off.
I need some serious help I have tried everything which means wiping cache, davlik, perform system reset and then tried to install this rom with the latest radio pack and tiamat 4.1 and my phone still keeps bootlooping right when I go to sign into the gmail, no matter what I try it will not work. I can't even get a logcat in adb, has anyone ever had this problem or knows what I can do to fix it
EDIT: I did have some help with putting on this stock RUU rom or whatever but I mean it still did it a couple times today, last night it was doing it every ten mins... but I would still like some help to get it to stop and so I can get back on CM 7.1
Try this
http://www.multiupload.com/RS_7QL6SAXKOD
Download the pc36img.zip and make sure that's what it says then put it on root of sdcard then go into bootloader then let it scan it will ask you if you want to update then hit yes and let it do its thing

nope I did not touch it I was waiting to here from you and see if it was safe to go to CM 7.1 obviously not
I even have tried to go do this RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed
and I just get a error 155 (saying its the wrong RUU) which it's clearly not
Sorry I'm stumped guess you have to unroot it and send it to sprint cuz its probably defective don't know what else to tell you
Sent From way down Bikini Bottom
That's a hardware issue. Had the same problem with mine, last year. Means an insurance replacement, since Sprint can't fix this instore. Bummer man. :-( Unles you're still under warranty, that is. In that case you could send it to HTC. Means being without for a week, but you get Your phone back. Instead of a refurbished one.

Ok ok I know n yes I've searched n so on but just got replacement EVO 4g two hours ago n rooted with revolutionary n did or flashed superuser 3.0.6 got boot screen now reading revolutionary at top s- off n hboot at 6. Something rebooted into bootlosder n have superuser so I'm taking it root was good n flash of superuser was too ... I downloaded wireless_tether 2.0.7 n installed fired it up n was told I don't have root .... What did I do wrong n how do I fix ???? Pls thx structure for such a noon question
If you are running the stock rom, you will have to flash Superuser through recovery to gain full root within the OS.
It's say my kernel does not have everything to run it I guess ... Then I shut down n restarted it to copy the message to post here n it is now stating on screen click to start tethering ?????
I did flash or install superuser threw recovery
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip flash this in recovery then uninstall wifi tether then reinstall it
Will try b right back
Ok did recovery of that new Su it worked reinstalled wireless tether n it still says kernel don't have everything to fun it
Asks if I want to ignore... If I ignore will Sprint know I'm using tether??? If nog I'm not going to worry if it works ignoring what it wants to ignore as long as springs mobile hotspot doesn't know n I get my free WiFi
Ok so I've uninstalled n reinstalled the wireless tether app several times when starting up first time says my kernel don't have what is needed to run n asked if I want to ignore or cancel click ignore n it asks if I'm rooted n says there's binaries n other files missing .... What do I need to do to make this work I need this tething to work plz
In the app hit menu settings menu then reinstall the binaries see if that does anything

Ok wasn't sure if I should post this in Q&A or Dev... but since it's a question:
"Can anyone help with this?" ..
Here's the situation.
Sprint Galaxy S3.. using Blazer ROM 1.6
Team Epic Recovery (non-touch), don't recall exact version
Everything has been fine the last week or so.
I changed 2 things earlier today:
1) Using NFC Task Manager, I enabled "NFC during AirPlane mode" after which it asked me to reboot. I did not at that moment...
2) I modified build.prop to change the default alarm ringtone.
I also did not reboot as I was about to make some other changes...
Since I'm at work, I got sidetracked, but noticed something since the phone was on my desk face up. It suddenly rebooted on it's own.
No big deal, I had thought... except it never came back on.
And now.. It won't boot up at all. I cannot go into recovery either!!
I CAN go into download mode... so I did so and tried to reflash recovery.
Still unable to boot up or go into recovery..(Phone flashes the samsung logo , then disappears forever).
I'm attempting to download the stock ROM via the toolkit and see if that will fix things, but without recovery I'm pretty sure nothing is going to work.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Where it will go into download mode but NOT recovery?
Try flashing the stock tar in odin if nothing else works.

Just flash the stock tar ur downloading in Odin. Ur fine even if you managed to Bork recovery as long as u can still get into dl mode ur ok
I've haven't seen this problem on the Sprint variant yet but it definitly sounds like it's fixable
Like others have pointed out, since you can get into Download mode fine flash the Stock Odin tar file found here
When you boot up I would consider doing a data wipe (Factory Reset option in Settings>Back up and reset) but that's up to you
Yep.. that stock ROM fixed it... now to 're-root' and reapply my ROM... fun fun fun.
I'm thinking that the build.prop change must have caused it.. will be testing that over the weekend to be sure

So far all is working and I didn't even have to wipe the data (actually couldn't at first because I couldn't get into recovery hehe) , and I'm guessing the build prop must have been because I did it on the device, and 'maybe' I hit a stray key or something.. usually I edit at home and push it to the phone but I was in sort of a hurry.
WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!
As I watched it attempt to boot up each time, I kept coming up with different excuses to try to tell the Sprint store
