did you try pulling the battery and trying the same process? I dont think you bricked it, seems like something else is going on. Did you remove the SD card while it was running?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sruon:
Btw to reenable SD Card and ****s go into fastboot and type

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] West650:
You tried hard resetting already?

Turn the power off.

If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it

Hold the Volume Down button

Press and release the Power button

You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock

Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button

Press and release the Power button

Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC EVO 4G. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
This did let Android recognize the SD card, so thanks

Hopefully this fixes the USB issue, so I'll report back shortly

Wiping/Hard reset didn't fix it
[EVO 4G Android Development] sruon:
If it works... make sure this get stickied and ****s
[EVO 4G Android Development] West650:
I'll think I'll wait on rooting my Evo when I get it. I don't want to get into any problems haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Actually it did fix it, I have the SD card & USB function back, so I'll update the first post with the instructions

So thanks a lot for that sruon, I owe you one now
[EVO 4G Android Development] sruon:
No problem!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Ok updated the original post with the instructions cause I know I'm not going to be the only one with this problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darth Pooh:
Thanks for this mate. Worked like a charm... even with your files, I didn't need to muck around with the generator or a hex editor. I will tell you this tho, I dont ever wanna do that again. 10 minutes to type 5 command lines in a shell on an Evo sucks hard.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:

+1, i used many of his winmo roms. cant wait to see what he does with android
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Glad I could help but be sure to thank sruon as he is the one that posted the link

I don't know what exactly caused it, I don't remember exactly what I did right before the restore failed but I know I was working on de-odexing the system and since 5pm was coming around, I decide to restore and it failed. So I really don't know if it was the failing of the restore or something else(had flashed the Froyo ROM about a hour before too).

I'm already working on something don't worry :D But I need to finish my v1.6 ROM for the Moment first
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
sorry calkulin, me and you go way back, i can't wait for you to start building roms for this bad boy. unfortunately the same thing happened to me, i think my friend broke it when i asked him to pull my sd card out, anyways after i took it out it never read another sd card again. i had to get my evo exchanged yesterday, so the 1st day i didn't even get to play with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Nice to see you p-slim, buy yeah I can see how someone can damage the SD card slot, it definitely is a pain to remove and insert a card, especially if you have short finger nails. But don't worry, mine only lasted 3 hours before I "thought" I had killed it, so your not alone :o

I did these two fixes and my battery usage went from 20% an hour with constant usage to 10% an hour with constant usage.

Stuck in NO USB Hell (purgatory?)

Some of us, myself included, have not found relief after trying the suggestions in this thread: chmod 755, sd cards taken out and put back in, etc.

Does anyone know what the NEXT step would be? I'm clear I don't want to brick my new Evo 4G, and I don't know where to go from here.

Other than not having usb connection to my pc for simple sd card file access, and not being able to charge my phone unless its the wall plug or the phone is turned off in the car, the Evo is working quite well with Fresh 3.0.1 and Netarchy's Kernel Toastmod 2.0.4.

If anyone has the expertise and the knowledge to point out where those still without USB might start looking next to fix our situation, I'd be grateful.

Should we try to UNROOT and start over? Is that possible without messing something else up? Is there a stock recovery rom out there for the Evo 4g available for bringing the phone back to its original state?

Any help would be appreciated.

How do I fix USB without root, as I can't seem to root without USB!

Stuck at an interesting place. On a 2.1 EVO without root and had both of these problems, the SD card fix worked perfectly and while the USB fix portion clearly states you need root, the root methods I've found require USB access (generally for adb shell work). Is this a Catch 22 or am I missing something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kubodhi:
another day of research seems to be confirming my fears. need root to fix my USB, need USB to get root. any creative solutions?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] anthonyl2008:
Yeah, I have the same issue. I have no root, running on hboot = 0.79.0000, fix usb debug problem need rooted.

Requirement to fix usb issue: ROOTED

I'm in the circle. I don't know what to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RoidBoy:
I let Sprint fix usb, then rooted again... worked!

You don't absolutely need pc connectivity to root. Read this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=721055 about how to do it. You can use connectbot from market (choose "local", "password" is anything, force size to 40x25.) There's a free program called Homepipe that can help you move files to your sdcard without usb.

My usb never worked right after using too many different methods to root. I put PC36IMG.zip (there are 2 files with this name, of slightly different size, I believe I used the 170mb one) on my sdcard, went into bootloader (turn off phone, press and hold vol down and power at same time), and it automatically found PC36IMG.zip, asked if I wanted to update, and I pressed vol up for YES), and,after rebooting and starting phone, this left my phone in unrooted new condition (except for usb, of course). THEN I took it to Sprint repair (I told them I wanted the sd card given to me before repair so there'd be no evidence of rooting). Sprint got usb back (with "factory reset") and I then rooted perfectly using metod in link above for "no pc needed".

The only thing I'm a bit fuzzy on is which size PC36IMG.zip I placed on sd card, but I think I have it right. I can offer no guarantees on all of this, but this worked for me after I tried every other method suggested to fix usb and they didn't work for me.

Good luck!

p.s. Sprint handed me the fixed phone telling me it was being recognized by the pc. When I first hooked it up I was using a usb extension cord and couldn't see pc on usb. Got rid of extension and was able to connect! But I still used the non-pc method from link mentioned above to root, unlock nandroid)
[EVO 4G Android Development] anthonyl2008:
yeah, thanks for you trying to help me, but I had already read and followed this thread, it doesn't work on me, because I'm in the middle of the process of hxxp/xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496&page=1 rootting the htc evo 2.2 after running PC36IMG.zip then my usb debugging got problem, that's why I can't follow the following step. I'm stuck in the middle of no where,

My phone now is running on Android 2.1update1, hboot. 0.79.0000 , because of hboot 0.79.0000 then I can't follow the link you provide me. The PC36IMG.zip is older then my version then it won't run.

Any guide can help me will be appreciated.

Thanks

worked after updating radio and wimax

i followed the instructions to fix sd card and usb, i installed the 2 files on my sd card via a card reader and did the fastboot. that enabled my phone to read my sd card. then i used terminal emulator and did all the comands with no errors, but my phone would not mount to my pc or charge through my pc. i dont no what exactly happened or why but when i updated the radio to 2.15.00.07.28 and wimax to 26023, my phone started to connect to my pc! now it works perfect!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcinkcinkcin:
I'd just like to add that I ran into this problem. I was able to connect to some computers (netbook/laptop), but both desktops would connect and then disconnected. I installed a rooted stock 2.2 rom which did not fix it. I then installed the radio update, which fixed it. Go figure. Anyways, if the stuff on page 1 doesn't work, try that.

USB

After flashing to CM 6.0 my USB is only recognsied for maybe 2-3 seconds. On the Evo, the screen pops up about which type of connection to use...then quits. I can still charge the phone via wall charger, but I can't figure out how to get it to stay "seen". Is this part of the issue people are talking about? Will these files fix it?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] hieste:
just read the post before mine. Updated the radio to 2.15.0007.28 and everything works again... whew.

MT3G (CM6) - Non working usb and sdcard

/bump

Just recently flashed to CM6 about a week ago, everything was working fine until the USB randomly decides to not work.

- unable to mount sdcard via usb (the notification does not come up for the phone or pc)

- the phone will not charge (does not show a charging icon), however it will charge normally when the phone is 'off'

The other problem is my SDCard will not mount to the android OS

I tried mounting the sdcard onto the pc through my microsd adapter which worked and all the card contents are still there so the card is fine.

I installed the android sdk and ran fastboot to attempt to correct the sdcard and all it does is <waiting for devices>

I am running 32bit windows 7 btw.

Anyhow I am a little stumped on what to do next :/. How am I supposed to fix the usb if the sdcard is borked ... and if I require the usb connection to fix the sdcard.

how do i update "radio"
[EVO 4G Android Development] tonyj111:
The radio update fixed this issue for me too! Thanks!

I can't post a link to the download page since i'm a new user but all you have to do is google search "[Radios] All EVO Radio & WiMAX Radio versions‎". Find the download page, and download the latest radio file. Copy the file to your sd card and restart the phone into recovery mode. Choose "install from zip" or something of that nature and then select the radio file. Once its done installing just reboot the phone :D

Done!

[EVO 4G Android Development] skorpi0wn:
I just upgraded to Fresh 3.3.0.1 and now my SD card won't read. In fact, when I choose the connection type within the phone, Disk Drive doesn't even show up. I've tried the method above numerous times with no luck. When I reboot by holding down the Down Volume button, the system doesn't even scan for the PC36IMG.ZIP file. The phone just won't find the SD Card. I've tried a few other cards I've had that were also tested in other phones and they work fine. I opened the sdcard directory using adb shell and noticed the permissions were set to read only. Any attempt to update that resulted in an error.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of trouble and what did they do to fix this?

Update 1: Just loaded a stock Rom using the RUU executable. Still no luck. Card was formatted in a PC as Fat32. Nothing.

Update 2: Got it working. I tried formatting the SDHC card again with my reader using Windows at first. No luck. Then I used an SD Card formatter program from Panasonic. No luck. I put the SDHC card in my Blackberry and formatted it using that and it worked!

No keyboard?

Ok, so...i'm probably being dumb here...but when I get to fastboot...(FASTBOOT is highlighted in red) I have no keyboard option...and since the computer doesn't recognize it...i can't do this in CMD or Terminal. How shall I type the fastboot commands in?

I'm sure i'm missing something totally stupid...since you guys got it working just fine. Help? Thanks :)

UPDATE:

When i clicked 'FASTBOOT' tonight, it changed to 'FASTBOOT USB' which, it either did not do last time, or I did not notice. Anyway, i assumed that this meant that I could actually plug it in and run ADB commands...because this didn't seem to be stated anywhere. Well, I was then able to follow the rest of the steps to get it going. Thanks again guys for posting this fix.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jpflaw00:
Unfortunately this fix doesn't work for me. Problems started happening when my phone froze all of a sudden and I pulled the battery. After that my Evo wouldn't recognize the SD card. It kept saying that it was mounted and safe to remove. I tried formating the card but nothing really happened. I tried removing and putting it back several times. This wouldn't fix the issue. I tried the steps outlined here, but this didn't work. I tried another method of removing the battery for about a minute (some else recommended this). This didn't work either. I even cleared everything and started from scratch. I was able to get my 4 gig that I used to use with the Touch Pro to work. Unfortunately even Windows 7 and Snow Leopard doesn't recognize the card. It's a shame it doesn't work anymore considering it hasn't even been a year yet :( If anyone else has ideas let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Davidp65:
Hi,

Everything went well with the SD Card fix. That fixed that issue.

However, the USB fix didn't fix my issue. So, I still can't charge, get into recovery, etc. My computer will not recognize this device.

I could not run the command chmod 755 /data/flash_image misc since the file isn't there. That's the message I got. I verified that it wasn't there. When I typed in reboot, it wasn't permitted.

Is there anything else I can do to fix this. Otherwise, I really can't do anything with this phone.

Please help,

Best regards

Ok, guys im in a bit of a pickle and I'm looking for a genius to help me fix the problem.

Firstly I just got my Evo4g yesterday, im no stranger to rooting and or unlocking but this time i'm stuck. I came straight here to get the root started. My evo is running 2.2 firmware stock. I went here and started the ball rollinghttp://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/08/27/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-4g-with-froyo-2-2-video-walkthrough/

The first video went off without a hitch and I was feeling really good about everything, then tragedy struck. I followed the second video and during the PC36IMG.zip update I got a weird error.

First line it bypassed the bootloader and on the second line it said:

[2] Raidio_V2 FAIL-PU

everything else updated fine but after the reboot i can only access the bootloader or it goes straight to the red triangle. I've been up for 3 hours trying to correct this problem before I give up and try to get a new device.

A little more information in my bootloader it reads:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-2.02.0000

MICROP-041F

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac

RAIDIO-2.15.00.09.01

I've tried several things and none of them worked, I've even tried to flash the stock RUU.

If you've run into the same problem, please post here and maybe some of the genius's at XDA can brainstorm and keep this from happening to anyone else.

Evo is offline

I have read through these forums for the past 12 to 20 hours, but I am still stuck. I followed regaw_leinad's tutorial on rooting my Evo. Everything was fine until it rebooted and tried to load the PC36IMG.zip. The bootloader was skipped and the radio update failed. Now I cannot do anything.

I get into the recovery mode, Windows shows the Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager, but adb devices shows the Evo as offline. I have reformatted the sdcard, copied the PC36IMG.zip file back on to the card with a card reader, re-ran the update, but it is always the same. The radio update always fails, the entire update fails and the phone stays in an offline mode. Is there anything I am missing here?

Just rebooting the phone only gets me to the logo and stays there forever. When I reboot holding the down vol I get:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON

I'm a long time EVO user and today I got my second one - White EVO HW 004

To make a long story short. I've rooted the phone, but then unrooted it. I had both SDCARD problem and USB problem. SDCARD problem is no solved, but USB is not working.

USB port no longer working neither for charging nor for adb, and I'm no longer rooted as I FLASHed stock ROM. instructions on this thread look good to recover USB port, but they require root, and I need USB to root, so I'm kind of in a dead loop. I will appreciate ideas.

htc evo usb and sd card issues (unrooted).

I have two issues,

1. My evo doesn't recognize my sd card or any sd card that I insert in it. I've hard reset the phone and even reformatted the sd card on my macbook pro (fat32). I inserted the sd card with no files on it and when I took it out of the phone and mount it on my mac via the card reader I saw some Unix Executable Files that the phone put one the card, this is what the files name look like (qxdm_20101214_011430_1.dm).

2. when I connect the phone to my mac or pc, the computer doesn't recognize it so I can mount it as disk drive. usb debugging it on and there's no option for disk drive under default connection type. I've try new usb cable with no luck. I try doing the usb fix on this forum but with the two issues I'm having I can't do the adb for the sd card and the usb fix. any suggestions and help will be greatly appreciated.
