wanna BREAK my F#$*ing EVO!!

after ROOTing with TOAST and unrevoked i keep having this constant random SD card failure.sometimes ASTRO file doesnt read anything and sometimes it just crashes.even rebooting doesnt help.i have a STOCK rom as of now.its getting really irritating and fraustating for me so PLEASE any suggestion and help would consider genorosity.

This was an issue when the EVOs were first released and it was addressed in the first OTA update.
If you're indeed running stock now go to settings > System Updates > HTC software update and see if there is anything waiting for you there.

if i update software wouldn't that break my root or brick my phone?

Would break root.
Just back up your sdcard to your pc and format it, that should work

I broke my screen today, so you could just send me your evo and you can take mine and we will call it good?

i haven't had a single problem with my card, but i'm not using the stock card, either. try a larger class 6 card, see if that helps. you can get them for about 45 bucks for a 16gb card

I had the same problem. I bought 2 evo's on launch day day, one for the wife and one for me. Hers worked fine, mine kept giving me problems even after the first update. It wound up that the sd card was somewhat damaged. I tried reformatting it several times with many different methods but it still didn't help. It just kept getting progressively worse, causing random reboots, constantly saying the card was damaged, eventually it caused my phone to freeze and restart in a loop. I replaced the card with one I had in my g1 from adata and now it works great. Just a bad card I guess.

flash with the OTA update and ull be set!

thanx guys I backed up all my files and switched to a new 16gb SD HC.so far so good,hopefully no more frustrations.thank u

I fixed mine by doing a full reformat of the SD card, and making sure it was seated well in the phone. Pulled it out, and put it back in. Worked fine and probably still does (I'm using a Class 6, 16GB card now)

There are plenty of reasons i want to break my F***ing Evo but c'mon, an sdcard?

The root method you used... well, it contains an OLD rooted ROM.
Make sure you flash the OTA rom.
That's why. The old version had SD card problems.
I had this problem too. It was annoying.

the reason is because i have lotta snes roms,videos,pics,wallpaper and third party apps in the SD card.i spent most of the time at work playing movies or snes or other stuff that r in the SD,so yea its pretty important to me for the device to read the Sd card.
hopefully no problems anymore on the new 16GB SD i jus put in.

just to clarify dont do the actually ova update that we have now, just get the rooted rom with the update added

HELP

My friend unrooted my phone with the One click lag fix app and now i dont have CWM or root and when i try to do the One click Root it fails. So i tried to wipe everything but when it reboots it still shows all my stuff that normally would be deleted from a wipe like all my texts, contacts, recent calls... i tried the odin thing and got the same results. the phone has voodoo on it but i cant remove it b.c i dont have cwm i really need help im about to crack this pos in half Thanks

Okay. So you had OCLF and Voodoo installed?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

i was rooted in the past then installed cwm and a voodoo this was like 3 weeks ago. Now he just downloaded OCLF and all he did was unroot it... so i smacked him and tried to do the OCR and it does not work. I put the phone into recovery and then wipe everything and it does nothing but remove all my apps and starts on the welcome to android where you would log in to your gmail and when i try that it doesnt work... i think i killed the phone

When it boots do you hear the robot voice?
good day.

no on that robot voice.

Is it safe to assume you don't have good nandroid (before mucking with the device) ? And is update.zip still on your sdcard?
good day.

You should be able to completely remove voodoo, then Odin to stock and re-root from there.

The touch screen doesn’t work properly on Desire
I got the HTC Desire with contract from UK Three mobile,It had a problem with touch screen, It worked normally but sometimes the touch screen didn’t work but it just sometimes. While the touch didn’t work I was difficulty to use with buttons and I couldn’t type on it. So, I sent it back to service centre to repair this problem. The service connect me, they couldn’t find any fault on it. I think the screen happens sometimes and they didn’t found at that time. Now I get my phone back and I still having problem. So I try to change firmware and now I already upgrade to Froyo (2.10.405.2) and think about problem in firmware. The new firmware work on it and it also have touch screen problem sometimes. The problem is so bad and sometime it is very difficulty to open @ (slide to unlock) screen. Please give me some help about my Desire. Thank you.

I should have read more carefully. Sorry.
Then I can assume you have tried to ODIN the CWM kernel and dropped the update.zip on your sd card?

[Q] Phone Boot problem, won't mound SD

Sorry about the post as this may not be the best place for it.
My phone got low on memory so was trying to clear stuff, it rebooted then on the loading screen (Myn RLS 5) perpetually restarted. So went into recovery
and tried to do a backup (so could format as my last backup was old) and it threw an error in mid -backup (did write it down, doh!!)
Now the phone does the 5 vibration thing and does boot. Also SD won't mount get " /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" error. Also I now notice the phone reset to "S-on" I had a long time ago rooted with unRevoked Forever.
I have read several posts about this , but confused on the best way (instructions) to get a img file on and reinstalled. I have used adb before but only basically , unfortunately my computer at work doesn't have adb installed so cannot test things now.
So if anyone has a good one or two methods for me to try tonight, would be much appreciated. Also totally surprised that security went to "on" so probably have to address that first.
Oh phone is EVO, HBOOT 0.93 , Radio 2.15.00.05.02 . If I should post this somewhere please feel free to direct me there.
EDIT: I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.6.01 installed and can get into it.
Thanks so much.
Kevin

First I woud try the sd card fix found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243&highlight=sd+card+won't+mount Then I would downgrade your radio to 2.15.00.11.19 using a flashable pc36.img file.All radio versions can be found in the development section.If the first 2 steps are successful,run a 3.70 ruu(can also be found in development).If that is successful,reroot using unrevoked forever and you should be good to go.I' not sure if the radio downgrade will work with s-on,but I think if you use the flashable pc36.img version it will go thru,if it doesn't,you can still try the 3.70 ruu.I ran into some incompatability issues with trying to run the 2.15.00.5.02 radio with older software and hboot versions.

@BrianBusby2038,
Thanks for the post, good information I will give it a try. Interestingly the phone did eventually boot into Myn for a few minutes before the 5 vibrations of death started again.
So looked and it def. doesn't see the SD. So hopefully can recover.
I am wondering if the AData SD card I have is not reliable. Thankfully have the original 8GB card so hopefully can get things going again.
Anybody have a good recommendation for a 16GB microSD that is fast (buying from Newegg) ?
thanks again

No problem,hope it works out ok.

I had this same problem a few days ago and I had to get a replacement ordered (a 2.3 preloaded replacement ). Make sure that your USB is still working, because both my SD card and USB stopped working, S-ON went on, and the five vibrations/green light shut down problem happened. I was able to get S-Card operational, but USB was no go. I could not log in as super user and could not enter the commands necessary to fix usb. No USB = No root = no fix for USB. Now I'm stuck with a 2.3 evo, at least its shiny and new .
Hope you fix yours, I wonder how this problem has happened to so many of us randomly. PS: when you take it to sprint store, don't complicate matters and revert to stock.

Crude, fastboot on PC throwing driver error, how do I tell if the right driver is installed.
This is really sucking, Ive only ever installed one driver and could connect with adb.
So not sure what to do.
EDIT: says can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing

@robertsaurus,
not sure how I could go to stock if I cant re-image. Yeah definitely don't want to make a fuss, ugh

I lost clockwork mod and ended up only being able to access default Android recovery menu. I think an option on there will restore the factory Rom and make it look like it was never rooted. I know people have been able to fix theirs but I gave up after a days worth of trying
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well I had partial success. I restored a signed Sprint Rom, but phone keeps rebooting and USB doesn't work. the 5 vibrations seemed to have gone away. Though since I can get usb to work I can't do a RUU install and remove clockwork.
I did talk to Sprint and they are willing to early upgrade me and buy the EVO back for 125 so long as it boots and it does .
So going to give that a whirl , I have 30 days so may give a few other things on the evo a try before I return. Doing the upgrade I just lose out on some of the rooting so we'll see how that impacts me.

I had the exact issue. I think if you do a wipe from the boot menu (power and vol down) it will get rid of it all. And then take it to sprint and play dumb . Worked for me, new shiny evo lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

yeah I played dumb, but since it was out of warranty 1month and 10 days. they wouldn't replace . But at least get upgrade and buy back on the EVO which is not bad.
Though I am over the next couple of days try and get the EVO rescued, so long its still bootable I can take advantage of the buyback

Interestingly I could get the 5 vibrations thing to go away if I applied unrevoked forever s-on. the phone will still reboot and usb not functioning yet. Going to try and get a shell script running to fix usb , or try and do a re-rooting via the auto root, maybe hboot usb will work (fastboot did)
I did get the photon (we'll see how it works, though miss my rooting and evo)
so if like hopefully they will unlock the bootloader.

[Q] Upgrading to CM 7.2 RC

Hi all,
I just had a question about upgrading to CM 7.2RC. I am currently running the stable version of CM 7.1. It has been awhile since I changed out the rom. Did I have to do a full wipe of the device before upgrading to the RC? Or can I just wipe the cache and install the update so it maintains everything else on the device.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just do the second thing. No full wipe.

This thread down in the cyanogenMod forums shows you how to upgrade if you did not know how or want to gleam more information on this. Or for anyone else that is interested. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/40698-installing-nightly-builds-and-new-71/

Ok, but what do I do if I'm running off a bootable SD card? I was told to just copy the new rom to my F boot, then boot into recovery. I have done this over and over again with no success. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. if I'm supposed to copy the rom to a specific partition, then Im screwed because I don't know how to do that.lol. By the way, till about 3 months ago I could count on one hand how many times I'd sat down at a computer. Got a nook color as a gift
,and have been in love ever since. I'm running cm7.1 stable, at 1200mhz. I've had to teach myself every step, every step of the way. So if I sound like a idiot, its because I know nothing about computers, but I am learning. Thank you for your patients

You are probably not renaming the zip to begin with update-. You must do that before the installation script will recognize it.
Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk

Yes I have renamed it. it was cm-7.2 and I changed it to update-cm-7.2 but still nothing. here's the thing, when I try to format this card on my PC, its saying its write protected, and to switch it off. I assume it means the lock switch on the sd card adapter. If thats the case, something is screwed up, because its not locked. I don't think its my adapter cause its not saying that with other cards. When I copy the cm7.2 it says its copying just fine and I can see it on the card but if I take it out and put it back in, its not there. Sorry for the pain in the butt question, and thank you for your time.

I had the same thing happen to one of my sdcards. I could not format it, or write things to it. I could read it fine, just not change anything. I tried all kinds of readers and software (formatters, partitioners, etc.) It would look like it wrote to it, but take it out of PC and put it back, it was not there. I finally had to throw it away and get a new one. This all happened on my phone, not my nook.

[Q] U8800-51 totally ruined! pls help

Hello guys! first of all sorry for my English!...well i messed up my u8800-51 and i cant get it to work, i´ve read most of related posts, but nothing work, so i'll try to explay what happened, i hope u understand my issue and help me...
Ok i had a 2.3.5 GB non-official installed, from androidmovida.. my phone was working just fine, but due to all the apps and media it was kind of slowing down, so i restored it to factory settings... when i did this, my phone started up normal, and it was almost perfect again, but i realized that even without any app installed i had 800mb of the ROM occupied, leaving me less than 200mb, this was just wrong, the ammount of memory used just after a factory reset should be around 350mb... so i installed cwm 5.0.2.7 and booted it to recovery mode, here i pressed;
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
and what i think that screwed my phone..i went to mount and storage and pressed format /system...
Since then my phone didnt start, but i was able to get into the recovery mode... so i downoaded the stock 2.2 froyo from huawei
(this page is in spanish cuz the phone is sold in Venezuela).
i formated my SD card, and put the dload folder in its root and the update process started, but failed...
now i cant even get to the recovery mode, ive tride the process to install the fw a million times and it keeps failling..
and i just can get to the updating process or to the pink screen..if i connect my phone and leave it connected it shows up the logo and turn off, and repeat over and over..
my guess is that somehow i cant install the rom because the memory is almost full, but i have no idea of how to clear it!
if any of u guys can help me i would appriciate it a lot!!!
again sorry for my English and for the long post, but i wanted to be specific so you dont waste time telling me to do things ive already done! thank you!!!!

You need a micro sd reader and hook it up to a computer than copy the stock gb over and delete the old froyo. You should've asked.
I've read this may work, but android movida was closed down.
Try this.

sorry its embarrasing i have to ask, but i'm new with android so im a little lost! but according to what i got to learn last night trying to make my phone come back to life, there's no GB stock for the u8800-51, actually the only stock fw in huawei was the one i downloaded, and the one i installed from androidmovida required froyo to be succesfully updated..anyways ill download GB to see what happens, but if you could be a little more specific it would be nice, buecause as i said, i just learned a few things last night!!
