ok, so i turned my phone off, took out the battery, took out my sdcard, and replaced the back casing on my phone. now that i boot up, my phone is back to default as if i just flashed a new rom. i see that my apps are still there on my sdcard, but my homescreen and all my settings are gone. i tried fixing permission, but no luck, anyone got any ideas?
I assume you put the SD Card back, too??
Are you running A2SD?
What ROM are you running?? Kernel?? etc... need more info
You can try to Just reboot and let it sit for about 10 mins.

yes sir i put the sdcard back in.. and yes i am running a2sd. i am currently running team dirt cm9 1.7 with mason kernel version .15rc4 sbc
tried rebooting several times and allowing it to load.. it's weird because it's not like i turned the phone on while the sdcard was out.. not too sure what could cause this, this is not the first time neither, usually i just reinstall everything but man.. it's been so long since ive ran into any sort of issues.. i nand restored an older backup without reflashing the ext partition, i got most of my settings back, so thankfully i was able to work from there. but i would still like to know what could have caused this. thanks for your reply hipkat, good to know someone cares to even try..
Why did you do the pull, etc. in the first place?

My first thought was that card wasn't fully seated, but I know that's hard to miss. It's pretty odd, for sure.

seems to be the only logical explanation, im possibly assuming finger prints on the sdcard leads.. because i did turn my phone off and gave it a wipe to get the sdcard read by the phone, but my settings wouldn't come back.

As most of you already know I have no trackpad and due to this I can't use custom recoverys. I've been campaigning for an option to use power to select so I can use recovery again.
Now I have a problem that I can't flash any froyo roms but can flash others fine. I've narrowed down the problem I think. It's definitely not SD card related or ext related. I think the rom manager does not wipe every necessary thing that it needs to. When I could use recovery before I could flash froyo roms. Now I have rom manager as my only option and it only seems to wipe data cache and ext.
ROM Manager didn't wipe SD-EXT for me.
If you use linux then format your card in it and try again. Maybe this helps.
Will post again when something crosses my mind
EDiT: Just read your post again. Are you shure it's not SD?
OK. Then try using... damn you and your trackball

Yeah i have tried reformat of sd card. Tried a new sd card with only fat32 on it. Tried a version of froyo without a2sd.
Really stuck haha.
So what's stopping you going stock and taking it back for exchange? The T-Mobile ROM is available so I'd just do that!!
Warranty void. It's only the trackpad it would be fine if I wasn't such a rom whore lol
The warranty isn't void if you go back to stock...they won't even know you flashed a Rom

Ha thank you. Yeah water damage equals instantly void. I opened it up and fixed it but 2 months later the trackpad is totally gone. I just really want the ability to use recovery fully again.
What if you test your luck and bring it back like this?
With stock rom ofc
If they say no... you could just pay for the trackpad!

that makes sense....(htc sense ) nah, but really.....if it costs even 50 bucks id still say thats worth it....a 400quid phone with limited usability....?
The phones fine. I only need trackpad for recovery. Or alternate button.
I wouldn't hope too much on someone developing another recovery...
What if you edit the rom you are using and remap you trackpad press to another button?
Like the search button which i personally never use
EDiT: I'm not 100% shure this would work in recovery... but it's worth a try!
I'm pretty sure it needs to be edited within the recovery its not rom specific.
Hmm... your point seems right since all the modules are loaded in the rom and none of them is used for recovery...
I will check the AMDesireRecovery and look where they have all those button settings

Thanks. I have no idea where to start. All i know is that it is possible. Clockwork 2.0.0.3 had it but it couldn't mount the sd card or anything but the power button did select! I don't know how to edit a recovery or what file controls what. I mean there is a "keys" file but is that keys as in buttons or something else?
I think that the keys file is the verification if the zip is signed... I may be wrong...
What if we somehow merge the files of a recovery which uses power to select with a newer recovery?
Can you provide 2.0.0.3 of ClockWorkMod?
Ok just tried straight swapping the keys file and that did nothing. No response.
EDIT: Give me 2 mins.
EDIT2: Uploading very slowly. It would be great to have 2.0.0.3 merged with 2.0.1.4 (latest) as that would give me all the functionality i need.
Oh damn... the recoveries need to be signed so the stock recovery can eat them...
Do we need a special sign for that?
Yeah. There is a thread on here somewhere that has the tools for signing them...it's on the first page i'll have a quick look.
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709141 bottom of the post.
I know how to sign files but I was wondering if we need some HTC cert for signing.
I will try to do it with the normal one if needed.
We have a problem... if I edit the files and put it back together I can't test it coz I have flashed the permanent version. :S
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 .

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.

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

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

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

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.

Just act clueless and be like "I just took it out of my pocket and it was acting weird" if all else fails plead the fifth
OK....long story short...finally decided to delve into rooting and custom roms. Flashed CM6 yesterday and everything was going great. Then suddenly yesterday evening as I was swiping between home screens on my device everything froze, and I have been trying to recover ever since.
Anything I flash now just freezes, and i have a touch panel-fail so even when i do get a rom to boot i cant actually get into set it to usb mode or anything.
using bootloader i can not get it to connect using the adb driver so that I can push via adb.
about an hour ago I was successfully able to run the latest RUU and it ran successfully, but device is still way laggy (takes 15 minutes to boot) and no touch screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! don't know where to go from here. From what I have read its not bricked because I can get into Bootloader and Recovery???
Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like since you're stock now it's an actual hardware failure.

It seen like you have a HARDWARE issues, Re-Boot the Stock Rom. Call Sprint and explain what's going on with your phone, please *DO NO'T MENTION YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE* Tell them you try to wipe your phone and it was really laggy before you wipe, since you gonna Re-Boot the stock rom the phone is going to get UNROOTED, I know this cause I work at Sprint...

I definitely wont rule out hardware issues...this is a refurb device i just swapped my original EVO for on Monday. I guess I just want to rule out any software issues for sure.
You mention that re-booting the stock rom will UNROOT the phone...however I hav no way to currently re-boot the rom??
Also looks like i can not get into recovery now, when I select the option in the bootloader it just takes me to the screen with a picture of a device and a red triangle

yeah, as far as i can tell. It said it completed and gave me the option to press the power button to reboot.
It did finally load up...after about 15 minutes, but touchscreen is still erroring out and not funtional.
So I flashed Skyraider tonight, wiped data, installed the ROM, and booted up the phone. I was halfway through setting up my Google account when the phone froze and rebooted. Except, it didn't boot back up. It did the "vibrate five times and flash the LED" thing. Didn't think it was a big deal, so I pulled the battery, tried to boot it back up. But it does the same thing.
I can get into the hboot menu, and if the phone is plugged into the computer, it'll boot up into Skyraider, but it can't read the SD card or the internal storage. So, essentially, a pretty screwy phone. I also cannot boot back into recovery. It just does the vibrating thing when I try. My computer doesn't detect the SD card or storage, either. (The SD card is fine, though. I put it in another phone and everything is still there.)
I have no idea what happened with it. I don't know if this is some random hardware damage, or if I should find an RUU and try to fix it or what.
I've had the worst luck with phones these past few weeks.
Any suggestions?
What version of CM Recovery do you have?
I would go back to stock and redo everything again. Download this file
http://www.fourty.net/~berzerker/stockstuff/PB31IMG_3.26.605.1_RUU.zip
Rename it PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader and let the update run its course. This will bring you back to a completely stock 2.2. From there you can re-root and do as you please.
I was on CW 2.5.1.2. But everytime I try to get into the recovery, the phone just vibrates five times and the LED flashes green. I'm also not sure that hboot is seeing my SD card. I'm going to try it, though.
Here is the RUU if you need it

I'm not sure if it works, but can you boot into hboot and run the RUU from there and update. I don't think you need to have a working SD Card in order to do that, but I could be wrong. At least then it will be stock and no worries if you take it to verizon.

If you have the unrevoked USB drivers installed I believe that is what causes it. You have to have the "stock" drivers for the phone installed on the PC for it to work, that was a problem I was having when trying to run the RUU.

I do have the stock drivers. I used unrevoked on Linux, and I've tried the RUU in Windows. But still no go.
I'm probably just going to take it up to Verizon today. If it can't boot, they really can't see that I've changed anything, right?

The sales rep looked at it for two minutes, and they're overnighting another Incredible to me.
So on one hand, I'm pretty happy about how easy it was.
On the other hand, I'd rather keep the AMOLED screen.
Does anybody know if I'm going to get a refurb, or will I get a new SLCD model?
If you had AMOLED first and they give you an SLCD, you can ***** at them and they have to give you an AMOLED one. Cuz that's what you payed for.

Yep. I got my replacement today. It's an AMOLED. As far as I can tell, all the hardware is working like it should.
This is probably the easiest time I have EVER had with Verizon.
But for future reference, five vibrations + blinking green LED = replacement.
I had same problem yesterday, five vibr.+ green blinks, but I had access into bootloader. I decided to reflash stock rom. Finally fixed problem
