Borked my EVO

I have just managed to bork my EVO and need help! I was running 2.1 with the OTA update installed and unrEVOked3. I unrooted by using the RUU. Then I rooted again using the 2 step simple root. Everything seemed to have worked fine. I moved the pcimg36.zip to a folder on the sdcard. Sometime after restoring all my applications with Titanium backup, I lost the ability to USB mount my sdcard. Probably restored something I shouldn't have (I restored everything, thought I would be alright since it was the same release). I went into recovery to restore my nandroid backup I took right after I simple rooted. When I go into recovery, I get a picture of an EVO overlaid with a red triangle with an exclamation point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

nahh man sounds to me like yur just BORKED.
..
:d
sorry.

it sounds like you dont have a custom recovery : \. did you use the step on simple root to install clockwork recovery? if not try running that. you should be able to get to a recovery from the red ! by holding volume up and recovery but it sounds like it may be stock.
in all honesty you are prolly not completely screwed since it boots. through i will say this belongs in the Q&A section. let us know if you tried installing a recovery through simple root and results please

Remove your battery and go back into boot again...you said you are rooted right DL and installl another ROM then install ROM manager from th market, use this to try and recover your back-up

Nothing works at the triangle exclamation point. I did flash custom recovery. Ran nandroid backup right after rooting.
I am able to access ADB. Can I push something (some pcimg36.zip) to sdcard to get out of this?

Sorry to be off topic...I've been seeing borked a lot lately???? When the heck did this term start floating around?

Check this thread perhaps? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Dunno if it describes your problem. If your phone boots up/has ADB acess, it is never bricked.

Now THAT'S funny.

I got this working again. Even though it was not recognized as a USB device, I did have ADB ability. I restored the RUU and rerooted. Thanks all for the help.

Borked evo>>> help?
Hey man, I borked my EVO 4g too... What did you do to fix the sd from not being able to be mounted? I can only get into bootloader and recovery... And I heard that if you can get into either of those, the phone is fixable... Any help, please?

Pretty sure calkulin has a thread in dev section about fixing SD not being recognized. Also, have you tried removing it, booting, put back in boot again? Or try SD rescan app from market? What have you already tried and when did it start?
And that's funny, I never correlated borked with Robert Bork lol

Wiping Properly

I had an issue with my Roms saying insufficient memory after flashing and messing up DTa2sd (I think) . Anyways I flashed and flashed and flashed, but no matter what order I did them in, it didn't work. I made a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151943. It details everything that I went through. But that issue is now resolved , and I only changed one thing after having wiped and flashed as much as possible. In SmelkusMod Recovery there is an option under "Combo Wipes" that says "Superwipe". I used this as my primary wiping method for the longest time. That is until I had this issue and said what the hey, I'll just use "Factory Data Reset". Worked like a charm :good:. So, this is my question: The only difference in these two methods is that Factory Data Reset also wipes android.secure. Was this actually what fixed my phone? What else could have happened?

No it also wipes your ext partition. You could have had an issue in either one. I alway do factory rest then super wipe. I flash roms daily sometimes several in a day. Never had an issue using that method.

I use the combo wipes all the time and i never had a problem,i use all of them,except the sd card wipe of course.

I use 2 wipes; Combo, Temp files and Factory Reset and I've never had a single problem.
The method is to wipe everything except SD:Card, which would erase everything on your SD Card

On a serious note combo wipes always work for me.

Yeah, the super wipe always messed with my phone after a while. And a2sd. Now, I use link2sd. So many more options, and it just feels safer.

I use all the smelkusmod wipes now. I never bothered wiping androidsecure until I encountered a problem restoring a ROM that had been working fine before testing a different one. Since then I make a point of wiping everything except the sdcard.

Uhhh no brainer.... Front. To. Back.

[Q] Bad orientation sensor? Missing driver?

I have done a search and can't any information specific to my problem. I am running a stock rooted ROM and even with the auto-rotate setting enabled, absolutely nothing auto-rotates. I even installed Quickpic and changed the setting within that app to bypass the phone setting and use the sensor- still nothing. Please help! Is there an apk or some other system file that could be missing? I am not a developer, just a semi-capable user.
Here is my phone info:

I see your software is listed as MDF are you on ATT or Virgin?
What ROM are you on exactly and how did you get there?

He's on NAE.

Philz recovery via Odin.
I actually posted the wrong thread on how I got the ROM. The last post has been edited to reflect it. But here is the correct link.

Weird. I have the mf9 bootloader
Using Philz 6.08.9
I Odin'd the NAE modem/firmware from Unknownforce's thread.
Then have installed just about every ROM here without issues.
Only thing I do is wipe everything at least two times, REBOOT recovery then flash what ever I want. Seems something happened with your original flash/partitioning.
Might want to just try using the full NAE .tar and get all your partitions reset/fixed it's here in the dev section.

I was trying to make that my last option, it's such a pain in the ass to reinstall and reconfigure everything. At least I can restore most app data via TB, but I've had too many problems in the past trying to use a TB backup to reinstall apps between different ROMs.

Well if you make a TB backup, do a full wipe and redownload all your apps fresh and then just re-install data (and missing apps) you'll surely have a MUCH smoother system!
It might take a little while longer getting everything configured. But even if it took a few hours it'd still be less than the hours and days spent trying NOT to wipe.

Same here, been flashing every ROM possible and found that Hyperdrive always fails if you choose way too many options in Aroma.
The error I get is about symlinking and failure to do so.
Just untick some options.

Cherry pick a few options, don't bloat up the Aroma installer with just everything or else it will not work.

Maybe that's what worked because I did a fairly minimal install and did not experience any problems.

Try redownloading Hyperdrive and matching it's MD5 up, it's probably messed up.

Thank you bro , I'll try it & let u know.

Its a compactbility issue!
Most of the time everyone gets some compatibility problem when they upgrade to cyanogen 12 with dalwik cache, normal cache, app datas of some apps especially launchers.
So what is the cure. Boot into recovery, clear cache. If that does not work, try a full wipe and factory reset.
It will surely solve you issue!:good:

If you factory reset your phone you will wipe your data ie your apps, games etc. But the files in SDcard would remain there. It is better to take a backup ( copy files to computer)
Steps
1) Power off your phone.
2) Press vol+ , vol- and pwr button together. When scree lits up release pwr button. Then after 2 sec or so you will see cyanogen recovery pops up.
3)By using touch screen touch wipe cache.
4)select yes
5) Select reboot your phone.
Look if the problem is solved.
If not
1) Do steps till 2 in last steps.
2)now you r on cyanogen recovery. Select Wipe data/factory reset.
3)Select yes
4)Reboot
Your apps will be wiped up and your problems will be solved!
Hit thanks if I helped you in any way
