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?
every time i try to flash a rom i get this error: can't open /sdcard/signed_virusROM_R1_KINGSLICK.zip
(bad)
that was the error for that specific rom, but instead of virusrom it would have been bakedsnack or cm6. please i havent had a phone for 3 days i need some help here

thats not working perfect, thats called one f'd up phone.
sounds like a bad memory card and you can wipe and format all day long, the card is still bad.
are you using a different card than the one that came with the phone?
if so put the original back
if not, go get a different card.
if the original is bad take it to the sprnt store and see if they can replace it.

OK Guys, I think somehow my sd card became corrupt. Anyways to make a long story short, I CANT get ALL my VERY important files off this sd card to put on another!! Does anyone know how to get these files off this card. It just keeps hanging and sometimes I get a an Error 0x80070057. PLEASE HELP!!
How have u tried to get to your sdcard? Computer? File manager? Taken it out of your phone? Have u googled that error?
Sent from my HTC Magic SparksMod using XDA App
Ya Ive taken it out of the phone know and Ive googled that error but its not really giving me any answers pertaining to this.
im pretty sure there is no way to recover that card...
0x80070057 looks like one of the memory banks is fouled up...
i know it stinks but, sd cards do fail sometimes, just like RAM in computers and hard drives...
Long story short, always make backups.

Get a card reader for your comp. After a boot loop mine said it was corrupted and needed to be formatted. Plugged it into my MAC using my girls Moment. Said it was corrupted also but I took it out and put it back in while in usb mode and copied everything to my computer then formatted.

One more question, if I reformat this SD card can it be used again?. Or is it garbage and just don't use it?

Very helpful.
I have been using incredibly re-engineered z and downgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.7 as the instructions say to do to load nils business sense z . I downloaded the rom and used Rom Manager to install the new rom, as I always do, except for restoring sometimes in recovery. For some reason when the phone booted back there was a horizontal black line across the screen below the "HTC Incredible boot screen...then there are two vertical white lines at each end of the screen and the center is black.. The home,menu,back and search button still have haptic feedback, so i assumed the phone didnt quite make it into recovery...pulled the battery...tried regular reboot...same thing happens at the boot screen. Got phone into bootloader and when i hit fastboot, it shoots out a bunch of errors it seems real quickly. All is can read is SD checking...no image or wrong image...PB310IAG.zip (i think)...lack of heap. I tried to get the phone into recovery from the bootloader screen and the same thing keeps happening. I'm stuck and have no clue what kind of fix there is for this...am i bricked? I dont get this...have flashed roms 20 times or so and nothing like this has ever happened...please help!
Sense you can't get into recovery you are going to have to flash back to stock with an RUU..... if you want I will help you through the process..... first check and make sure your SD card is formatted fat32... and let me know and we will go from there

i was able to format fat 32...also tried a factory reset and clear memory...appreciate any help...thanks!

Process done, reboot device?
(vol up) yes...i am at that screen now

Ok follow these steps exactly for step was formatting the SD so hboot can read the zip..... now download the zip I'm giving you and place it on the root of your SD card once you have it there rename the zip PB31IMG.zip exactly, then boot into hboot wait for for it to search for it if you did my steps correctly it will once it finds it it will ask you if you want to update press the button up to update let it do its thing till it says it done and asks you to reboot... don't panic and pull the battery because the process can take awhile just be patient... make sure you have a good charge
Here's the file let me know what happens....

hit volume up and rebooted...didnt reboot into hboot though and same thing happened at incredible screen...assume the sd card is still formatted correctly
i do not have a sd adaptor for my mac and not sure how to flash anything on the hboot screen. Also I have never used my computer for anything on the phone so know very little about how I would put something on the root of my sd card through a computer
thinking about going to verizon tomorrow and just telling them that I might have picked up some new malware that I hear is going around on the market...that it has caused this to my phone...???

Well I thought I could help but if you can't access your SD card then that wont work.... the root of the SD is the section where all the folders are located....

just wierd...flashed many a rom and this has never happened before. No clue what I did wrong as I do the same thing every time I flash a new rom through rom manager...make a backup if I wish and wipe...then reboot and off we go...for some reason things went a bit different this time. no clue...?
Yea it sounds strange if you go to Verizon be carefull
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
if i am able to get an adaptor, how easy would it be to do this. As mentioned, I ve never really done anything with the phone on my computer. I have seen the mass storage files and pulled pics from the sd card through a usb cord and thats about it. I can get an adaptor pretty easily. Just dont know if I can actually do this. I'm decent with computers, but far from an expert
what did i do to the phone so i can try not to do this again. Its like rom rom manager messed me up...sux
Its hard to tell what happened without skittles more info but I can help you I will we will Yakut step by step if you want to try I'm willing to help

most definitely...pretty beat from a long week. Are you gonna be around tomorrow? Also, do you know about mac's? I also have a windows machine so i guess it doesnt matter, but know the mac a little better myself.
I use windows myself but all you need it for is to download the file and then copy it to your SD the rest is done on the phone its actually pretty easy ill just have to explain it in more detail for you.... so if you want to wait go ahead and download the file its about 180mb so you will have it and we will get you fixed

so i have like a generic (i guess) sdcard
it has no real branding on it other than "micro sd HC 16gb C4"
and recently i flashed PA3.6 and it worked fine i had pics music everything on it
but than i flashed illusion build 6/8 and i got a "preparing sd card" notification normal right til it said "sdcard removed"
and repeated that a few times til i removed the sd card
it seems anything other than PA3.6 (given idk the build date of that honestly)
but anything build after 6/7 is giving me issues
i flash cm10 rc5 nothing
aokp nothing
PA3.6 works fine -_-
but here the part im stuck at ok if my sdcard was was gonna die or something it wouldnt work in PA
but also it works on any 4.1.2 rom i flash
new 4.2.2 i cant get it to mount
ive formated it 4 times on my pc in fat32 i even tryed exfat nothing and if i boot to recovery no matter the rom i flash it will read the sdcard
i flashed all those roms from my 16gb sdcard they flash fine than boot and wont mount ...
its killing me here any ideas??
ive formatted and ran diskchecks scaned it and all nothing seems wrong with the sd card .. i thought maybe the reader so i took my dads 2gb sd card from his phone nope worked on those roms fine
its only those roms and my 16 card.
help please .. i feel im going in circles i even asked some devs and they even seems confused
.. im lost any help would be thanked
Go to sdcard.org and try their sd card formatter. Also try formatting it from the phone itself while on a build that works.

ill try the site but ive done that to and i just learned it seems ALL 4.2.2 roms OTHER THAN PA wont work -_-
this sd card man
the websites formater wont even format it -_-
it says unsupported
Do you mean it won't work in any 4.2.2 roms, or it will?
Only other thing I can think of to try is to partition the card with gparted. Doubt it'd do anything, but you never know.
If I think of anything else to try ill post it, but for now that's all I've got. Sorry.

I agree. They can start acting very strange when they start to go.
Avoid any unbranded or generic ones. I always stick to samsung and kingston personally. Always had great results with both. (Just make sure you're buying from a certified seller. Otherwise no guarantee it won't be a cheap knock off)
