Yesterday I picked up a replacement evo. The replacement was a brand new phone, not a refurbished.
Sprint swapped out SD cards at the store from my old evo to the new one and had issue starting it. Phone froze up a several times before he could see if it made phone calls.
I fully charged it and updated prl and profile and still had constant reboots and freezes.
So I rooted my phone to see if a different rom would help and I'm still having the same issues.
My question is, do I need to maybe format my SD card? If so do I need to save any files and folders?
Also I'm currently running cm6, do I need to unroot and put the default rom back on?
Thank you.

I think the cleanest method would be to unroot and put the original ruu on the phone. Either way you should back up your sd card on your pc so you dont loose any information.

What files if any do I need to put back on the SD card?
Or do I just format it and restart the phone

Just your personal files.....any files needed for re-rooting can always be downloaded again....additionally, you don't want to assume the method you used to root your old phone would be the same way for your new one...

So if unroot my phone and go back to the stock rom, I can then proceed to format my SD card and my evo will still boot?
I don't need to transfer over any system files or folders?

same problem
I have a similiar issue where my evo is not reading my SD now. Tried to backup and retore nandroid and it would never complete. I am assuming the SD may be damaged, however when I boot into recovery it reads everything that is on the SD when I go to flash ROM from SD. I would like to format and see if this is the problem, but will that erase the rom i am currently using?

Formatting your SD Card will do nothing to your ROM

Yes, your phone will still boot. Do not transfer over system files or folders, just transfer pictures/video/etc. from your SD card to your computer, unroot, run the RUU (DO NOT RUN THE 2.3 RUU YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT), then format your card. Oh, and do not accept the OTA Update they are pushing.
Or, you could format it in recovery and see what happens. If you are using AmonRa, go to Wipe ---> SD Card. (Remember - transfer your files to your computer)
I have a year old evo 4G,had cm7 stable,nightlys,beta sense 3.5 rom's,and I deleted everything from phone and sd card,The sd seems like its not putting any new roms to the phone,It boots up to the htc evo 4g screen,then to the sense ''black screen that says' andriod' then just stays there..i go into recovery and install zip and phone says no such files found,bad sd card? Any new rooted stock sense roms to put in then build from there? I don't want the bloat crap,I must be able to remove it,phone has been rooted for a year using unevoked,s-off,Hboot-2.10.0001,Touch panel-atelc03_16ac,Radio-1.36.00.04.02,oct 15 2010...I really need to get this thing working again,boss is always calling me,and I don't want to get into a shouting match over my useless phone,not hat i care anyway... but any help would be helpful.. FYI,Last rom I was on was KINGS bliss and I did a factory reset on that rom,Stupid noobie....
If your on amon ra plug your phone into your computer and in recovery enable usb-ms toggle and then you will be able to put a ROM on your SD card

Do the same thing for clockwork but instead of usb-ms toggle go to mounts and then you will see a option that says usb mass storage

I'm doing this as of the moment.
Ok,got that right now,What's next? just go to yur rom dowloads,right? Maybe flash vr.superwipe before I proceed to a new rom? No go,Gets stuck at box with arrow to little andriod guy,Well what now should I toggle anything? Just choose apply zip?
On the computer download a ROM and then put the Rom onto the root of the SD card of the phone.then you will have a ROM to flash in recovery

I have a feeling this beta Kings bliss rom,screws evrything up,I know it's beta ,but....It worked good for me at first,till week later,WTF...
Are you just trying to reflash a ROM onto your phone or are you wanting to recover everything that you deleted from your SD card?
If you are wanting to recover the data you deleted from your SD card I recommend mounting the card to your computer via your recovery and then running file scavenger (free to download) to recover the deleted files.
after you recover your files with filescav then you can reformat the SD card, replace the contents of the card, and continue on your merry way without having to start over from scratch.
I'm trying to dowload a ROM to the sd card,I extracted files to sd card via recovery and micro sd adapter,Then I try to choose zip,apply and always says no such files,always says E-can't open sd/card/update.zip,Installation aborted...I tried 3 diff sd cards,even bought a brand new one with nothing on it,the files are there on the card but...Am I missing something here??? Always worked in the past.... And Yes,I'm trying to re-flash a diff ROM,I'm staying away from the KingsBliss Beta Rom till it gets striaghtened out...

Ok,I backed up to the new cm7 rc1,got the phone going again,but what's with the sd-ext not found???
Nothing important from what I know its just if you were to partition ur sd card.. Also I can upload mikg amon_ra that u can flash via bootloader if you need it. I was getting amazing sd speeds with that recovery...
Really?I will try this,but I have to delete the 2.3.5 google stuff first,It kept rebooting on me after dowloading a app from the market,I just wanted to try it,This rom is my brand new back-up,No more stock evo rom anymore,I just want to get the sd-ext working again,Any gapps files floating around for 2.3.7?? For some reason,any file installs from sd,but phone tells me ist's empty,I will try the partition,I just want the sd cards I have working 100% again,I have 2GB worth of Roms to use on my computer,I just like flashing,I guess...But yeah I will research mikeg Armon-ra,where Do I look??I was thinking about it when I was figiuring how to get the evo going again...
Hi, wondering if someone might be able to help me out.
Trying to do a nand back-up but it keeps failing with an error of
"Errror while making a backup image of /data!"
I've tried to upgrade to cwm 5.8.1.3 same thing. formated my SD card and same thing.
Any suggestions?
thank you
just wanted to add, i've done backups and restores in the past with no problems until now
Do you have an external sd card?

How many backups do you currently have? Remove some old one to make room for new ones

Did you rename the file? If you did, it needs to not have any spaces. Soithastolooklikethis.

My guess it's because your sd is full, make some room and try again. Backup important files to your pc and save a couple gigs for the space the backup needs. Also, I have found that backing up from the rom manager app and rebooting recovery and backing up from cwm recovery produces different md5 sums, so I generally only backup while in recovery and not from the rom manager app itself.
hi folks,
thanks for the replies but the sd card isn't full as i've formatted it so there's no way the external is full.
come on, i'm not that big of a noob

I've done tons of back ups in the past month, and restores, but I just recently started getting the error as in the op, and now it runs until it gets to image back up, and says it errors backing that up, and then quits. I have 6 GB free on my card, and I only keep the last successful back up in case of fails like this. I haven't changed anything on my own, and the same ROM I backed up last week I now can't. Somewhere something went bad I'm guessing, but I'm glad it's not me that did something wrong. I will try an internal save to see if that works. If that works then I will wipe my card's CW file, and try a fresh one. Maybe just doing a complete factory reset, and fresh new ROM will do the trick. I'll keep ya all posted since more than one is having this issue.

No go for me. Just re-flashed CWM, and it still fails trying to back up image to either internal or external. ugh
Well I flashed a new rom from scratch, and now it works again. The old one must have gotten corrupt.
