Hey everyone. After I bricked my phone, I did the steps to unbrick it, and it worked out. I then got it s-off. but now it says that my sd card is blank! what should I do?

Hopefully u saved every thing you wanted off of there before u did the s-off thing. Only way I got to reuse the sd card was to reformat it using a pc.

i know that some peoples sdcard got erased.. dont know why but its happens to some people that run lazy panda s-off.. i got lucky mine ran great and sdcard was fine.. luckly
Lazypanda softbricked my phone and sdcard was unreadable. When I retried the panda using the same sdcard the data was restored.

I'm having same issue. I achieved S-off but now sdcard is unreadable. I would really want to restore it cause I have a lot of pics and stuff in there. I forgot to backup before doing the process. Any other suggestions or instructions??
Edit- I did try running the Panda again but all it says is that im already S-off so it doesnt do anything.
That sucks. I put a blank sd card in before hand, because the first page stated 'backup your card because all data could be lost'. Hopefully you did that. I had to reformat the card part way through, but then it all worked.

Unfortunately I didnt think of doing that in the first place. SMH. If I would've, I would've saved myself this headache...

It is worth trying a tool like Recuva or if you really are serious about resurrecting your stuff, TestDisk. Both are free, both are for Windows.
Another good idea, for the future, is backup all your pictures to dropbox. We got 25 gb for free, might as well use it. The instant upload feature makes it easy.

I ran the root program that roots the phone then rant the market app that puts a recovery but not unlocked bootloader. I just got the phone and did it last night. I read if the bootloader is unlocked then there is no 4g, not that I used 4g. Or is there a program that does it all like they have for the Evo 4g?
Did you check lokfish's compendium? Whole list of roms. Also check the development threads they'll have "locked" in the title.

yeah
Thanks KTT16, I did end up reading about a couple and tried one that one person said worked smooth. I ended up some error message and RSD'd back to stock and then decided to go all out and figured out how to unlock bootloader, load Clockwork, and then put ICS on. Then went to sleep at 5am =/ hehe. Now I need to set it up the way I need and then shut down my evo and activate my photon=)
Nice work! If you get a chance try cm7.2 and lokfish's rom.

Ok cool I will. I just need to figure out why the sd card isn't being recognized.

Within settings there's a box you check to activate internal memory. Cm7.2 is also like this, so it's not a bug.

Thanks everyone,
I did that so then the camera started working because it was asking for the sd card, but it still doesn't charge when I plug it into the computer and the computer still doesn't recognize anything. I press the button that says if I want to send files yada yada. The lightening bolt comes on the battery symbol, but not charging or anything else. I'll check the fixes section that KTT16 mentioned in case he meant something else beside the box to check.
I also want to use the calendar app in my evo. It's on a kings speed 3d rom, but that's another thing so I'll figure out the sd card first.

Awesome, it worked like a charm!!!
The charging light is also on.
Now I just need to pull of the calendar app of my evo from a nandroid backup or something.
my bootloader is not picking up my pj75img.zip files. any ideas?
I have root. i have s-off.
i go into bootloader, it scans, and picks up nothing.
Did you put it on the root of your external card?

yea, even put it on the internal too. to see if it would take but nothing.
Seems silly, but is the Syntax correct? Capitals and all? Dunno if that would cause an issue, but who knows lol

Not sure about the LTE but with some HTC phones the card needs to be formatted to fat32 in order for bootloader to recognize the zip. That may not be the problem here but I know it was a common issue with the EVO Shift.

its correct. not sure whats up with this thing. the OG EVO wasnt this hard to root.
Trying the ADB / Terminal method: right now.
that seem to work, i now have custom recovery team win installed.
(the whole not picking up the zip is still un sloved)
I'm sure the zip issues will effect me flashing any custom splash screen though.
I did this process yesterday and I had to re- download the zip and then it worked. I'm not sure if I had a bad download first.

I downloaded a trusted AIO Kit but everytime I do a MD5 sum check with the one I installed from Cnet for my pc it keeps giving me the incorrect MD5 than the one given, I just don't know how to proceed cuz I know that much if wrong one stop and don't continue also I downloaded it 3 times and ran it same results??:crying:
Thanks
If at first you don't succeed. Try and try again.

Its really odd cuz on my pc it kept happening with several md5 checkers but when I downloaded it on my phone and ran an md5 checker it came up exactly so whatever lol and a bit off topic for this post, is there some way of dragging/pulling an app off my stock phone before I root it so I don't loose it and I have ES File Manager but yes no root as of now will have root and s-off today just don't want to loose 'Cyberon EN Voice'?
Try a different md5 checker, your phone and cmd on windows work fine or the aio may be a different build from the posted md5.

The files needed to run the exploit are placed on the sd card, so don't you have an sd card at all? It doesn't format your sd card like it says it will, that's just a heads up just in case it does, so far it's yet to be formatted for me.

This is q&a, so yeah, all questions are relevant here, no you don't need a secure kernel, you just need an unlocked bootloader, adb debugging and root.
A mere 256mb sdcard would be fine, but seriously, get yourself something decent, you can get an 8GB card for like 10 bucks or something, I have no clue what your currency is since you didn't mention it, but I'm using USD standard.

Lost 2,000+ pics when I rooted because the idiot who made the video didn't mention that your internal sd card gets wiped. Don't want it happening every time I flash a new rom.
(this is the first phone that I have had that doesn't have an external sd card.)

Name calling is useless. You shouldn't hold someone responsible for what happens when YOU tamper with YOUR device.
That being said, no. A factory reset does not wipe internal storage

Or you could of read one of the 1000 disclaimers that HTC gives you during the process saying that it will wipe your phone.

I wouldn't dream of doing anything to my phone that could brick it if messed up, with my only copy of important stuff on it.
That's just an accident waiting to happen.
To everyone above:
I've been rooting and flashing roms since 2008. I'm fully aware of what happens. This was just my first phone without an SD Card do that's why u was caught off guard. I wasn't aware that it even wipes the internal memory.
That's why the person who makes a GUIDE should mention it. This was probably the worst "guide" every made. I've even made guides before and mention everything important.

God, I wish there was a way to downvote your post. Its your phone, you read non of the disclaimers that HTC gave you and didn't even watch the guide through before you did it. You blindly went through a process which tells you multiple times that it will wipe your data, and you didn't back it up.
The guy who made the video owes you nothing, he didn't have to make it and you didn't have to follow it.
Loosing your pictures is your fault, no one else's.

I know exactly the video guide you're talking about. I remember thinking that he should have put a warning at the beginning too, but luckily I didn't lose anything important.

I finally broke down and unlocked and TWRP'ed my prime. I went to install androwook 2.2 but thread says to put downloaded files on an sdcard. I didn't have one so I stole one out of an old phone (4GB Transcend MicroSD C8). Went to press it into the side slot and it just shoots back out at me. Never clicks like its being held in there. I've pressed it in as hard as I can with my fingernails to no avail.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it broke?
Edit: Just tried it with a sandisk 1GB from another phone and it does the same thing. I'm starting to think I'm screwed...
I just held it in while flashing. Successfully on androwook harrybean 2.2 prime. Hopefully thats the last time i need the sdcard.
