Yeah i'm about to just go ahead and see if i can flash it back to stock and take it back to sprint. >_<

I got frustrated took out the battery and reseated the sdcard and it automagically reappeared. Now I just got to hope that this sticks and doesn't have this problem anymore. As for the adb issue I had, I was running an experimental rom and I'm not sure if that was the cause of my problems or not. Either way I'm nandroiding back to my CM rom that I know works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZENGURU:
If buy any chance you still have the phone (EVO 4G), in your computer with a card reader put your sd card in and transfer Flipzmode rom (nice and clean). Put the card back to your phone and press vol down and pwr button and if it works go to recover and flach flipz rom:

USB BRICK in my INSPIRE 4G ( DESIRE HD)

Desire HD USB brick reg

No this application did not help. I have also multimount. When I try to mount USB storage it says "please connect USB cable".

One more thing to note , that my phone functions properly and SD card in the phone mounts properly.

The problems are

1. It does not recognize USB connection. It only gets charged via USB cables.

2. During switch off mode my desire hd does not get charged via USB.

Thanks for your reply. Please help me out to solve this..
[EVO 4G Android Development] wild1z:
So... just curious.

Lets say you have no working rom, (stock Rom) Rooted then didn't flash another image. So no ADB support. It will not boot into a rom at all.

And..since I have no SD card mount or USB (Debug mode)..

Am I screwed? lol

Trust me, I have rooted phones before. I am an idiot for not flashing a rooted ROM right after I was rooted.

I am now S-ON by flashing a stock recovery PC36IMG.. boy was that stupid too. haha. Sorry gents.

Edit: flashed an all in one revolution return to stock image. But could not fix the boot loop problem. I brought it over to sprint. The power button I believe was the issue. I will update this post add soon as I get the phone back. TIA

Edit: sprint couldn't fix it either. They are going to replace it. Yeah good luck with that, as they are probably out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] papaslacker:
when i run the commands in Terminal emulator i get there is no flash_image file on sd card but it is there any other way i can try does anyone know ? Also i do have my sdcard reading now so i don't think thats the reason

i fallowed the steps from post one lol but for the usb side at first i forgot to unzip the files before running the commands lol but if you unzip the files place them on your sdcard run the commands all works right
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
That right there is your whole problem, lose the 32GB card and you'll be able to enjoy your rooted phone again. The 32's are inherently unstable with random file system corruption, & extremely slow to mount at boot. The slow mount at boot is why it appears that the ext3 file system is to blame, when in fact it is the SD card not mounting that causes a2sd to throw the .noa2sd flag file disabling a2sd when the card fails to mount in time at boot up.

Trust me on this, lose the 32GB card & all of your stability issues will go away. How do I know? I fought with the same exact issues you are describing with a Patriot 32GB class 10 card for over 6 months, I finally gave in & bought a SanDisk 16GB class 4 card. Immediately all of my stability issues went away. ;-)

32 Gb SDCard was my problem

I have to agree with carhauler. I went back to my 16 GB sdcard and the issues went away. Even though the 32 GB sdcard was class 10 and by a name brand, I can't remember now who made it, as soon as it was gone, my file systems became stable again.

I was losing the ability to flash zip files after about a day or two or three. It varied. I would get the error about not being able to open the zip file. The only way to get past this with the 32 GB sdcard was to repartition it. But the problems came back after a few days.

[EVO 4G Android Development] brymaster5000:
First, thanks for this thread! It worked in the end, but I spent two nights trying to fix my sister's EVO not reading the SD card (unrooted).

Last night I tried the ADB commands to start with...and it was able to talk to the phone and reboot...nothing. I noticed while her phone was plugged in (using my Incredible 2 usb cable) to the computer it would not let me check the "Disk Drive" option on the phone. So tonight she came back over with her usb cable and it still wouldn't give me the option to check "Disk Drive".

I tried the Auto Mount app...not really expecting much and confirmed my disbelief - no success.

I then pulled her sd card out of the phone (having pulled it out the night before to check it on the computer and verifying it was still readable) and copied everything off of it. The copying process got hung up on a particular image from the camera. When her phone stopped working...she was taking photos (so I thought this was the issue when it hung up). I canceled the copy, made sure everything else was copied over except the file that hung it up. Wiped the card and formatted it with disk manager.

I plugged it back into the phone and, voila, I got the "Disk Drive" option back. I checked that to make sure the computer could pick up the phone. I then booted into the bootloader and pushed the ADB commands in the OP and it is now back to working order.

Again, thanks for this thread.:D

Whenever I ran the first command in terminal emulator I would get a “Cat/sdcard/flash_image: not found” the same thing with "mtd-eng.img" this is starting to frustrate me because I cannot find a fix for the USB, which is causing my phone to boot then vibrate 5 times right after splash screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kalehua4791:
Make sure you unzip the file to your sd card first which will actually make a flashable image......i use win rar to unzip files.....try that and see ...then try again in terminal emulator.....

Make sure you are rooted or this is for naught.....peace
[EVO 4G Android Development] bandbrain:
I unzipped the files to my sd card that and it still did that. Right now I can only use my phone when plugged to my USB cable and if I unplug it would go to a black screen then vibrate 5 times. Oh yeah and I'm using z4root for temp root.

Bottom line when I boot using vol- key there is a test mode, vol + recovery mode thus far I have yet to figure out if or how there is a Fastboot mode. Cherry Mobile tech support as far as I know doesn't even actually exist, yeah they say this and that but there is no help at all its been months and dozens of emails and numerous post on FB never once a single response. Hop over too there FB page for a good laugh if you got some extra time.

That link was dead so I d/l it form http://www.androidsoftol.com/applications/2012/0203/3124.html

I installed it and told it to mount the sd card it said it did but really nothing happened. I tried to boot into Bootloader Mode like I have with other apps like Super Manager etc. it waits for a while then just boots normally. It was a good thing to try but unfortunately it did not work.

A couple question I have are pertaining to the modes I can boot into... I can boot my phone using vol -/+... -= Factory mode & += Recovery mode. I will post pics below. From your experience and from the pics do you see something that I don't see? Particularly the Fastboot option?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brokerdan:
I too use Z4root for my Cherry Mobile Candy there are 2 options in the one I use Temp and Permanent I make the presumption that you use Droid 2.2.1 like me. I was unable to actually achieve anything using temp root. I Used Perm. Root and it installed SU on my device. As long as you do not delete the data from this app after it installs your phone is probably rooted but still not permanently. Froyo is an odd one I understand and actually requires a device called XTC to officially root it. Please note that you can always re-install z4root and it has an option to unroot your device even with choosing the permanent option. In simple terms z4root acts as though the phone is rooted using Prem. Mode but is actually not.

I am curious when you boot into bootloader mode do you have a FASTBOOT option?

[EVO 4G Android Development] bubbavic:
Can the USB fix be done even if the phone is not rooted?

Here's my problem, I was trying to root my HTC evo 4g for the first time using the TacoRoot method. Somewhere in the middle something went wrong and I had to pull back. Since I didn't finish the process, I don't think it's actually rooted. I thought I'd try again today but this morning I discovered the phone won't recognize my SD card and USB port isn't functioning. When the phone is on I can't charge it even with the wall charger. I can yank the battery and leave it off and it *seems* like it's charging. (I'll find out more later)

What can I do?? Help!!

EDIT: Ok, so I was able to get the SD card back working. Still can't get the USB fix to work since I'm not rooted. I know the idea is get temp rooted via z4root but from what I've read z4root no longer works for Evo 4Gs with the hboot 2.18 and the OTA from earlier this year. Is there something I'm missing?? Obviously, I'm a newb at all of this so any help or guidance is appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brokerdan:
I'm not too familiar with your phone but there are a few things you can try... First download this app Root Checker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDUwMSwiY29tLmpvZXlrcmltLnJvb3RjaGVjayJd

That should be able to tell you if you are rooted. If not you might try using z4root again this time use the permanent root setting. Keep in mind(From my experience) that you can unroot the device using z4root even if you choose perm. option. Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bubbavic:
How did you go about solving this again? I'm trying to apply the RUU now but I feel like I'm missing a step here. I was able to get root on the phone (htcdev method). SD card fix seems to work. But now, I'm getting the same "No space left on device" error at the last step of the USB fix. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do??

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

I'm retarded. The RUU file I had had the extension renamed to zip instead of exe. Running the exe put my phone back to stock. SD card works and USB port works again! Hooray!

For anyone having issues with OP's method or who ran into the problem I posted above try this. It worked for me. =)

[EVO 4G Android Development] Cordy:
Nice to see you at work already Calk, used your Diamond kitchen+roms and can't wait to see what you and the rest of the community has in store. As far as the sd/usb issue goes, from what I've gathered/read, it just seems to be the underlying problem with the method in which we currently have to boot into recovery and flash roms. It is random from what I've gathered but I'm sure the more frequently you flash roms especially in succession will increase the chances of it occurring. That's why the fix for the Desire works on our Evo's, we use the same method for recovery and flashing roms.

I am having this same problem, but when I try using this method to fix it, I get nowhere. When I enter the commands you provide into the command prompt, i get "'fastboot' is no recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." When I try the same commands with 'adb' in front, all I get is the adb help list. Adb shell tells me 'error: device not found.' So, without USB, I can't use toast's recovery for a nandroid backup, and without SD, I can't use Koush's fake-flash recovery either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:

I figured out my problem: you have to navigate to c:\~\AndroidSDK\tools for fastboot commands to work.

I connected via local, but that was just a wild guess.
