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.

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?

major problem. Need some help. Loopbooting

So I'm at work and go to look at my phone and notice its rebooting which it never does. I watch it and notice its loopbooting at the white Evo screen. Ive never as much as had a random reboot before. I try to boot into recovery and can get to hboot but as soon as I try to select recovery it loop boots at the same point. I tried pulling the battery and that didn't help either. I'm running cm6.1 rc1 with stock kernel and no over or under clocking. I haven't made any changes in a while. Not even any new apps.
Any ideas?

I just went through and read every thread with loop in the title and it seems like with everyone else they had this issue while rooting or flashing or making some sort of change. Nor just on an idle phone

You may need to RUU your phone and start over if you arent able to get into any type of recovery mode...

I can get into hboot but that's about it

Just got home finally.. Gonna try to get this bs fixed. I wish I knew what caused it. I can't have this randomly happening again.

I was able to run RUU app and install the update from here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747319
It just finished and I'm still in a boot loop. Ugh.
I've been searching for hours now and I'm not finding much help

Ugh.. I'm giving up for the night. Been searching for hours and can't find anything that seems to work. And of course today is Thanksgiving and there's no chance of me even getting a new phone.

did you try a 3.29 ruu i'm surprised that sync let you flash a 3.26 if your phone updated to newer that might help also if you used unrevoked you need to flash thier s-on tool

The only RUU I was able to flash with the RUU app was the 3.26 one I posted. I downloaded like 10 others and RUU app doesn't see them for some reason.
Also, how can I send a file to the phone with fastboot? I've searched and searched and I'm not sure of the exact syntax to use.
I had S-OFF and was fully rooted untill I ran RUU app.

Any other suggestions? I'm really trying to avoid getting a new phone.

Grabbed a card reader and adapter and trying some other RUU's I found now.. Hopefully something works.

Just finished installing that RUU and no change. Still the same boot loop.

Downloading the following RUU now and going to try again.
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release_157088_signed.exe
And for anyone looking for stock RUU's and having a hell of a time. Here's a good link I found with a bunch of them;
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/

That one didn't work either.. Still just loop booting. Looks like this thing is just completely eff'd and I need a new one. Damn.

Well, just got home with a brand new phone. It's got hboot 2.20.. Time to get rooting. Ugh.

Just search for a pc3600.img file that is rooted and put on sd and boot to bootloader and flash

When using unrevoked, every time it turns on, do not touch a thing on the phone. It happened to me when I was rooting and I opened a menu between boots and failed due to same error. I tried again without touching anything and it worked.

Having a hell of a time getting my evo 4g to change to s on. I have successfully unrooted it but the s off remains there. I need to take it back to sprint for repairs.
I have tried several with the recent unrevoked 3. But my results are after flashing "waiting 5 seconds because windows hates" message and the other says waiting to reboot" (both freezes forever). Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks you.

Newsflash. I've never heard one story of Spring checking a bootloader to make sure a phone is S-On.
Flash A stock ROM and you;ll be good, although there have been posts that say Sprint will work on Rooted phones now.

You have to have a custom recovery to do that (Amon-RA or Clockwork). You need to reinstall Amon-Ra Recovery by putting this in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip": http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
Then flash this: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
After that just run an RUU from here: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/ruu
In case the RUU won't work from your computer, download one of the ZIP ones, put it in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip". That always works.

I am not sure what you mean by "Spring checking but I have flashed the stock rom PC36IMG.zip onto the root of the sd. My understanding that once your successful doing this you basically revert to the original rom. I have done that thanks to this site. But, I cannot for the life of me get the s on back on. Rooting my phone with three different custom roms were easier. Not all Spring stores like rooted phones. Id rather revert to original with the s on to be sure. product F thanks for the reply I will try that..perhaps I missed something. Thank You.

That plus the leaked document from the sprint employee forums that said that sprint supports rooted devices means we don't have to fret over s-on for service just make sure that your phone is running a sense rom when it is taken in otherwise they can't use the diagnostic commands from the dialer to fully support the device.

Well I think my biggest problem is that i unrooted my phone because Clocwork will not work for me to flash forever s on because it is unrooted. Is this correct? Thanks

If you're using Clockwork, you have to disable Signature Verification.

Yes but you're still s-off so follow those instructions.

Thanks for staying with me. Appreciate it.
Here is how I wasable to get to recovery to get to the root directory for choosing zip from sd.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 11: TRANSFER PC36IMG.zip TO SDCARD
Connect the MICRO USB Cord. There is an option for this in both the Amon RA and Clockwork recovery.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
It was the connection and discnnection of th usb cable. Everything was in green. Is that normal.
So, my next step was to flash the forever s on zip. The results were unsupported radio version. Update failed. The current version I have is 2.15.00.05.02. on the new update on my evo. I tried it first by removing the pc36img.zip nd then tried it with it on...same results.
So I found this radio version (EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_003), but I am not sure if this is what version is needed. Anyways, I apologize for this long everyone, but I am trying to provide as much info and hopefully I can minimize your time. Thanks alot.

The radio package you mention is the same radio you already have, so you'll want an older version. I'm not exactly sure of the version number, but I do know that is not the correct one.
Remember when you flash radios to not pull the battery. It'll flash, then upon rebooting it'll finish. You'll see a screen that you probably haven't seen before, it'll most likely be an arrow pointing down to a phone or an Android in a box... or something like that. Regardless of what you see after the flash, don't freak out and pull the battery - you'll end up bricking your phone. It's one of the few ways to guarantee a real brick, the phone will never turn on again. You may already know this, or it may be in whatever guide you're using, but it's good to know.
Anyway, I'll see if I can find the correct radio for you, and good luck!
Edit: I read somewhere that someone used this one to get s-on: http://www.mediafire.com/?v0ymbhaa0ltcvyy
However, you may need to do some trial and error. It should work, but here's a link to all of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
These are from Calkulin, so if they're PC36IMG files you'll be fine, but I'm pretty sure you flash them in recovery. Sorry, it's late & I'm lazy. Anyway, I think Calkulin still uses amend scripting, which will render them incompatible with ClockworkMod. You'll either need to switch to Amon Ra to flash them or find a different flashable zip. I think you'll only need to flash the radio, not all of them, but I could be wrong.

You don't need S-OFF to have sprint work on your phone for repair. My cousin just got an insurance replacement Evo 4g because he washed his phone with his clothes. He brought it over to me to be rooted and the phone he got was already S-OFF and that is an Insurance REFERB. also with the leaked forum of how Sprint will infact work on Rooted phones gives it away that you dont need S-OFF

Plainjane. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the zip from the first site you showed here and it ran well with the exception that it got stuck on formatting cache. So, I rebooted. s off still on. I will try the next one here in a few. Thanks everyone.

well. While I continue to try and solve this puzzle I will attempt to attach this link on how to flash a radio to evo. i take no credit.

well i am happy to say i have finally go the s on back on. I believe the problem was that i left the recovery supersonic ra image on the root directory of the sd. i deleted that and flashed the supersonic s on image and voila!!! Everythin crumbled under the rosario wrath and s on is on. Thats Boricua power. My next problem is flashing sense back on. Khilbron, I wasnt ignoring your post on sense, it was just I was trying to get the other things done. So can you please expand on the sense. Thanks to everyone who took out the time even you kipkat with your kind of unfriendly comments. Dueces.

HELP!! GNEX stuck in bootloop & no custom recovery

Hi,
I am fairly new to rooting (infact this is my first post).So,please be gentle if i am violating any rules.
I had put JELLY BAM on my GNEX and it was running fine. I tried partitioning my memory which did not go well so then I tried reflashing my ROM , which again did not go well and accidentally i deleted my ROM and all of my backups. So basically I am not able to use my GNEX .
I have no ROM and was only able to access bootloader and recovery menu (TWRP) . So i tried flashing it thru NRT(by wugsfresh) and since then I am stuck in bootloop(Was trying to flash stock JDQ39) & upon that I am back to stock recovery of android. Also, now PC is not ready to detect my GNEX as ADB device.
Please help me out, I am in dire need of it. Cant find a simillar issue any where else.
Thanks in advance.

put simply you probably trashed your partitions. you might have to use ODIN to repartition

I had a similar problem. I thought it was because my disk was partitioned-screwed. So I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065470
It didn't work for me, but it's worth a shot for you. Give it a go.

Will try the ODIN method.
Also, do you think I am experiencing persistent boot-looping because I wiped off my 'system' (did it for the first time)
coz i have been flashing ROM's and kernels on weekly basis now and this has never happened before.

Still not working, tried the ODIN part also, still stuck in boot-loop.
I jus want to know what exactly is the problem here..!!
getting frustrated now.

Hi all,
Since I am facing difficulties flashing ROM. IF only someone can share a backup image of ROM (CWM/TWRP) with me I can get it restored and flash another ROM later on as need be.

You said you partitioned your memory. What exactly do you mean by this, what did you do?
