Stuck At HTC White Screen :/ Bricked?

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?

Adb to the phone and try to nan restore, if you can take the sdcard out of the evo and connect it might help. Or try to connect usb in recovery.

try adb remount /sd card

Try restoring through nand?

he cant get access to the sd card. have you tried removing the card then booting up, battery pull then put it back in.

Maybe you should read a little more. The best way to get the information you are looking and to keep it retained in your head is to discover it your self.
A quick search for ADB How To might do the job.

yea im tryin to do adb i guess. i got my sd card to finally show up but wen i try to load the nandroid which yes i should kill myself for being so lazy which dates way bak to 10-01 . it jus stays frozen on the that bootscreen i had

i swear all i tryed to flash was the combo update of the radios from calkulin and all this had to happen! ughhhhhh fml!

Dude, shut up. Clearly he's in frantic state because he screwed something up. People like you give XDA a bad name. If you're not going to help or support get out of this thread

You really need adb. I know is kinda scary I was in your shoes once .but read about it download it play with it it will help you in the long run I have done what u have done at least 3 or 4 times the answer is here in the forums. It kills SD card and usb that's why your computer wont see the sd card . Only other option is if your have a SD card reader plug it into your computer sorry I can't be more help.

I had this happen to me on a plane, almost exact same circumstances. The HTC kernel in RLS4 is not compatible with the latest radios.
You need to use adb to push one of two things to the phone:
1. One of the alternate kernels - They work with the latest radios
2. The older (octoberish) radios - Something before the december release
Steps-ish:
adb shell
-> mount /dev/sdcard
-> exit
adb push one_of_the_two_above_zips.zip /dev/sdcard/zipname.zip
Then use clockworkmod to flash that zip from the SDcard.

i finally got an old nandroid to load up so ima just go from there. im losing alotta important things but ill learn from that but i do dearly thank you all . !

format sd card

I read alot of times the suggestion is to format the sd card. My question is since I am still new is do I simply move what I want to save (pictures) to my PC and then format? Do all the folders get automatically put back?
Thanks

Copy the data you want to your PC, format it, and copy the data back. Formatting destroys all data on the card.

Will the folders on the card now be put back on at some point by the phone itself?

Anything you didn't put there yourself, or download to it (e.g. in a browser, through Beautiful Widgets, or photos), yes.

Thanks. I am one of those noob's that was de-flowered in the world of flashing roms by Frozen 1.01. Went to 1.02 and was late to work becuase of 1.1 coming out last night. Thanks for what you all do and how much help you guys give to guys like me.

Thanks for your support!

I'm also still pretty new too. What is the benefit of formatting the sd card? I've never done it but I flash different roms all the time to check them out.

Updating 6.0.f.0.72 to 6.0.f.0.111

Hey, I have a LT28i which i bought off Expansys and it came unlocked with 6.0.f.0.72 installed but when I connected it to my com the PC Companion told me there was and update but after multiple times I still cannot update my phone. I have read the threads and don't really understand the process of flashing and I do not want to lose all my data on my phone. Can anyone help or direct me to the correct thread please?
On a side note I cannot get my Ion to transfer the apps to my SD card as well as all my camera photos are still stored on the internal memory is there any setting i can make to get them to go straight to my SD card?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

You can flash it to .111. All you have to do is make sure that you uncheck the wipe data part of the flashtool. And for the SD card problem, I have no solution to it as I don't have a SD card for my ion atm.

Since the ion has internal storage, you have to look for the ext card to see your SD card. SD card on mine is actually the internal storage.

Thanks a lot. Is it possible to rename the SD card from ext to SD and make the phone think it's the internal one? And if i flash it to .111 will i be able to recieve updated from SE or do i have to keep reflashing it when something new comes out?

.111 is still an official firmware. You can still update without issues. Not sure on the renaming part. Give it a try and see what it does. If it doesn't work just rename it back.

Okay, i've read the flashing guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 but i'm still lost. the program wont detect my Lt28i. can anyone advise please? =/

Does your PC pick it up? If not and the phone is just charging when connected you are probably not using the cable that came with the phone and it is probably a charge only cable. At least that's the problem I ran into at first lol

For Xperia Ion, you have to hold the Up Volume button as you connect it with the usb. The back button is for the older models. Remember, keep your phone charged before you flash.

The problem is that I cant even get flashtool to detect my phone to flash. Even with pressing the button.

You might need drivers... Go to the drivers downloader in the flash tool folder and click on it.

Just try it again and again until it's done. Sony's server is very bad so you can't just update successfully with only one try. I had to try it a whole day to get it updated to 111. When you see the download bar run full, your device will get updated.

External SD Card Isue

Hello guys,
I am using the Galaxy Note II N7100 variant. I am facing a problem with my external SD card.. I am using a 64GB Sandisk Ultra which is Class 10 AND UHS I card..
However recently my write speeds to the card from my mobile have droped drastically!! FYI The card is still blazing fast on the computer (Via the Card Reader) :thumbup:
Next issue is now a days, I cant unmount this sd card. When I say Unmount, it says Unmounting Sd Card for a loooonnnggg time and then the phone reboots! :what: However If I format the same card and unmount it, it get unmounted easily... SO M GUESSING its because of some app I shifted on this card Maybe?! But for the end of me, I cant seem to find that app IF thats the case!
Any help, views, suggestions and inputs are welcome.. SOLUTIONS ARE MOST WELCOME
Thanks and Cheers
GRay

Try the obvious! Wipe cache from recovery and dalvik.
try a factory reset and if all else fails give the phone a full wipe

In that case your options are pretty limited! You can try looking for service codes to access so called 'secret menus' but im not sure how effective that would be but you could get lucky! tbh id be worried that its a hardware issue with your phone and one of the first things warranty service dept will get you to try is a factory reset

Thats a bit worrysome then.. Since my GN2 is out if warranty any ways, let me try your method.. :thumbup:
