I was helping a buddy root his Evo 3D today. We managed to get S-off, but couldn't get Clockwork mod to install. Later I realized that his PC was not recognizing his 3vo. Installed the HTC drivers, still same problem. Installed HTC Sync, still the same. Now I can't do anything to his phone.
To make matters worse, he can't surf online. The phone boots up just fine, and the boot loader is unlocked, but this is where we currently stand.
Try to flash TWRP:
[RECOVERY] [EVO3D] TeamWin Recovery Project
Just dl the .zip file, rename it to PG86IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card. Then boot into bootloader (either through adb or take battery out, put back in and hold power + vol down). Then once it loads into bootloader (not fastboot) it will auto detect the .zip and ask you to update. Press vol up to say yes, wait for it to finish.
Now you'll have a working recovery, you can flash other already rooted ROMs using the flash zip utility in the recovery or if you just want to root the default ROM you have to flash this zip file with the 'flash zip' under recovery.
Is there supposed to be a root folder, or do I just simply place the main directory.
We placed the .zip file, after it was renamed into the main directory of the 3vo. Booted into HBOOT, but nothing happened. We were not prompted, just sat there in the HBOOT screen.

The root of anything is the main directory.

Many thanks, well if that is the case then nothing is happening. No prompt, just loads into HBOOT and our only option after that is to reboot manually.

Try again? Here is a link already renamed. Just put on root of SD card as before: http://db.tt/2ARi4m4

Weird, for some reason, going directly through the link that you provided worked. So now we have twrp on the phone. The 3vo recognized it, updated, but now still no phone or internet use.
Do I use twrp as a recovery? If so how? Should there be a twrp app now? Or do I just go back through HBOOT and select recovery from there?

This might not help but try wiping the Dalvik Cache first. If that doesnt help, do a full wipe (factory reset/data wipe), install the ROM again and try that.
Theres no app that will show so go through HBOOT, select recovery (it will look like it is rebooting but it isn't - it is loading the recovery), then choose the backup/restore option.
Alternatively if the ROM you are using has 4 way reboot you can use that to boot directly into recovery.
EDIT: yes twrp is recovery.

There's a Su.zip Signed and Another version that's Unsigned!
Put Both versions on your SDCard and try Flashing one at a tine, see which one works?
Good Luck!
:NOW COMPLETE:
I would like to thank everyone that helped.
Switched PCs. Installed HTC drivers on 2nd PC, worked. Then went through the same root process. All done. I only with that veterans would also inform new root users that 'Error 16' will happen once the phone is rooted. All I had to do was call the provider and all was squared away.
Got one for you now. I was able to get my buddy's phone back. Seems that he can't remember his gmail PW. He swears that the PW he is giving me is correct, but he can't get in, not even through a PC. This blows, as he cannot use the market without a valid GM account. Not even getting a new GM account solves the problem. So I did some research and it seems that the original GM account associated wtih the phone cannot associate anymore, and trying to get a new GM account will not solve the issue. So if PW is incorrect, I'm assuming that the only thing that can be done is to reset the phone back to factory. My question is, doing so will cause me to update the phone to the newest version 1.50+. In doing so, no more root.
Are there any other options?
Going into setings and doing a factor reset doesn't update your phone to the 1.50 hboot and you don't lose root. Just flash a ROM that's updated to the latest ota I'm on clean ROM it runs perfect smooth as butter and don't forget to nandroid

I did my research on how to install ROMS with a locked S On and Kernels, but just got even more confused about the process. I am coming from an Evo 4g CDMA.
I have H BOOT 1.5 unlocked S ON. My back up was lost. I tried to flash something like the newest MIUI using TWRP 1.1. w/e. I can't get past the boot screen for MIUI. As I was reading up on the forums, it seemed to me that you had to use a program called Flash Image GUI to get a kernel going on a ROM. Though, here is where I was confused. If a ROM has a kernel in it and I flash the ROM, does the Kernel part of that flash not get set up as well?
Would I need to flash the rom like normal from the SD Card then use something separate to flash a Kernel? If so, I am kinda boned. I can't get into the phone, just the recovery and can't get that program installed on the phone Trying to flash up Xplode now to see if maybe I just got a bad download.
If these questions were answered, please forgive me, I did try to find the answers, but as I read up more and more, it was getting to be more and more confusing to my personal issue at hand.
Thanks for the help!!
If you grab the kernel from your Miui zip, it's in the zips root called boot.img
Put that into your folder with your fastboot exe
Boot into bootloader the same as when you flashed the CWM
Use fastboot command... fastboot flash boot boot.img
this will flash the kernel and you should be able to boot up properly
Oh, well that is the problem. I had someone else flash TWRP for me. Guess I need to find out more on how to flash up that to get the kernel going. This S On thing is a massive PITA, lol. Guess once I get the phone up and going and I can use that program, things will be way easier

I see. i skipped the how to part since i thought you had alrady flashed the CMW your self, it's fairly easy.
you need..
1) to install the evo 3d usb drivers.. filename HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe .sorry i don't have a link, i got them off these forums somewhere
2) you need the fastboot.exe , again search google/these forums
then shut down your phone
pull battery out, then back in
hold down volume- (minus) and then hold the power button as well, only let go once in the bootloader, choose the fastboot option then insert usb cable to phone->pc .. you should see fastboot-usb message come up on your phone
then you can type out that fastboot command in the previous post from a dos command prompt, from the directory with your fastboot exe and boot.img
It's easier to put rom you want on the SD card make sure debug is on.
Adb reboot bootloader . Now
Fastboot boot recovery.img now wipe and flash rom you are good to go man. Works flawless .

Sorry about posting in the wrong area.
What I did, which can help out other 3D noobs is this:
Since I just unlocked and have no back up, my kernel was still stock
Downloading a stock rom and moving it to my phone via comp, twrp recovery mode>> USB Toggle allows you to connect to PC! Put the rom on the main part of the SD card and just flash like normal.
Here you should be able to boot up like normal again.
Let me say, Flash Image GUI is a noobs friend till you can learn to use adb more.
I was told you can put a Rom on your card and just flash allowing the kernel to flash as well. I have not had success with this with HBoot 1.5 S On.
Flash Image GUI:
Download the rom you want, Aosp to Sense is fine.
Open Flash GUI and choose the Browse option.
Locate your rom on your card and choose it.
The app will give you a message saying the rom is big yada yada, say yes.
Wait a few moments as it finds the kernel. Once it does, choose flash Image.
Choose reboot recovery and flash the exact rom you picked with the App. Reboot and win.
This is just what I, a noob, have found to work.
I have NOT been able to just flash any rom on the SD Card and have it work. Flash Image UI has NOT been able to get Virus' Rom to load
A's I find more noob friendly tips I can report.
Thanks everyone else for the input! I won't lie, I came from an Evo 4g and am totally lazy as I am used to S Off and just flashing away. S On, I hate you. ADB, I fear you. Flash Image GUI, I want to marry you!
CDMA 3D, I wish we had more AOSP lol
Hope this helps out some people.

ADB is pretty simple to flash with lol
All you do is keep a copy of the recovery.img you are using in your adb folder...
You hold shift down right click on the folder that adb is in platform tools folder is where it's at say open cmd prompt to it. That is the fast painless method
Make sure you have a rom on your sd card.... Also that debug is turned on...
Plug phone in hook to computer...
ADB:
adb reboot bootloader
now:
fastboot boot recovery.img takes you into recovery...
Now wipe don't wipe SD card...
Flash rom your set works on virus roms and any other rom 0 issues
Also Flash GUI works for everyone nothing wrong with it....
I just prefer Good Old Adb to do my work If you need any help feel free to ask man.. I'll do what I can to help ya out if you get stuck..

You can not flash some ROMS through ADB/Fastboot with s-on, it just doesn't work no matter which way you go about it. Flashing a recovery is easy but that was not the OP's problem. The "noob" way that the OP suggested is the only way to get roms with custom boot.img in the zip to stick. I just installed CM9 and ADB/fastboot was of no use. Getting into recovery is easy but will not provide results unless you have used FlashImageGUI.apk first on a working ROM.
Nether CWM nor TWRP work to flash such ROM's with the right boot.img. You must use FlashImageGUI.apk!

Dah da dat ta ta! (Swoops in with my 2 cents)
See the Guide/Flashing Notes in my signature for a walkthru for flashing roms, recoveries, etc. All up to date. Choose your method: fastboot & recovery or flashimage & recovery.
Note: TWRP 2.0 with Dumlock is a workaround to avoid using fastboot (pc). FlashImage is not a requirement, its also a workaround vs fastboot.

There is the HBOOT downgrade. I have ZERO linux experience whatsoever and thought the process was very easy. I know it says to 'brick' the phone, but it is honestly not that scary. I have done two of these already both being successful on the first attempt. The live cd by closeone actually takes care of almost everything, except for actually doing the brick. Trust me being on 1.40 s-off is much much nicer.
please help everyone! i was stuck on the htc logo, so i did a battery pull. i booted into the bootloader, but it keeps trying to update. regardless if i say yes or no, it forces me to reboot, which leads me back to the stuck htc logo. please help me!

you need to somehow flash the boot partition with the boot.img file to stop the boot loop
Just remove the sdcard,then boot phone into bootloader highlight fastboot then from computer extract the boot.img from a ROM and place it inside the platform-tools folder then go fastboot flash boot boot.img and that should fix your problems hope u get it and it helps .... Need more help just PM me

You can also install the new 4EXT recovery touch with smartflash s-on to flash the roms without the need of using fastboot anymore ..hope it helps

You will have to extract the boot.IMG file from the zip file and flash via fastboot flash boot boot.IMG and it will reboot the phone also

Stuck
Hey,
I'm an experienced flasher who got a lil flash happy and is now stuck. I can't get into the recovery because I have a PCIMG86.zip on my sdcard and when I load into the bootloader it automatically tries to update. I don't have another sdcard to use nor do I have sdcard slot on a PC/laptop. Is there anything I can do to get back into recovery?
Boot into your rom and open up a file explorer or file manger and remove the zip or put the zip into a folder.

i think by him saying he's "stuck" means he's not able to boot into the rom.
i dont think there is a way without being able to removing the file first
any other phone that you can throw your sd card into real quick and remove the file?
usually i have my work bb for this stuff but started a new job and my gf now has a iphone. seems like im screwed until i get my hands on an sdcard or another android phone. theres no command to stop the pcimg86 update??

Nope. You have to do what the people in this thread said about a month ago. If you can boot up your phone and restart into recovery you can do that. And don't feel bad I did this earlier when I got flash happy lol. ICS will do that to ya.
Have you tried booting your phone into safe mode ??? Also I noticed you asked is there any command to stop the update does this mean you have adb ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
In bootloader adb doesn't detect the device...same goes with being in recovery.
Also, the bootloader automatically picks up the pcimg86.zip file. I think I messed something else up though cause its not even mounting the sdcard anymore...it's frustrating.
I must've did some damage when trying to force my mem card in while the battery was in as well (I miss the evo 4g when you could do that). So now I need either a) an sdcard reader b) another sdcard or c) another phone cause it doesn't read sdcards anymore....
Having no phone sucks in 2012 :-/

Remove the SDcard so that the bootloader won't find PCIMG86.zip and then boot normally into recovery and put the SD card back in.

Okay folks, I am at oss and need to know if I am just flat out screwed or if maybe, just
Maybe I might have a shot at storing my EVO 3d. I was running meanrom. Everything was running smoothly but I decided to give ViperROM a shot. So I d a wipe, rebooted into recovery and flashed ViperROM. Initially I thought everything had gone according to plan until I realized something was amiss when I attempted to start 4g. 4g wouldn't start. I did some looking into and came to tonclusion that because as far as I could tell because I had been running meanrom when I flashed viper the kernel no longer stock was not compatible with viper. So I started flash image GUI, found stockkernel.zip on my sd card and flashed or so I thought the stock kernel in hopes that after I did then the 4g would work on ViperROM. Well I was mistaken. When the phone rebooted, after the initial HTC screen rather than next seeing the ViperROM boot animation my screen went black. It remained there laughing at me till the phone automatically rebooted and then once again went to a darn black screen. It seems my phone is stuck in an endless loop. HTC screen, black scree reboot, HTC... Ect. I then booted into recovery wiped again and tried to then just reinstall meanrom. Well, according twrp recovery the installation went smoothly but after HTC screen, my phone goes straight to black screen. Ive tried various variations of reinstallations and nothing has worked so far. Am I stuck like this or is there something that can be done. Any pointers or suggestions would be more than appreciated

Your phone is alright and working , dont worry.
..............................................................................
I am assuming you are unlocked via htcdev.com .
Follow the steps:
Copy the img file of the recovery you are using to the fastboot/adb folder (folder which you have used to unlock the bootloader).
1.Now boot your phone in bootloader
2.Select Fastboot and connect to PC.(phone should say "fastboot-usb")
3.now open command prompt and navigate to your fastboot folder.
4.Type "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img". Your recovery should boot now.
5.Wipe everything , and install any ROM you want.
6.Then reboot your phone as normal and your problem should be solved.
7.If you get stuck at HTC screen or that black screen , just open the zip file of the ROM that you've just flashed and copy the boot.img file to your fastboot/adb folder > then boot your phone into bootloader > select fastboot > connect to PC > in command prompt type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" > then reboot.
Hope this helps........
Did you make a nand backup before you flashed vipers rom? Or do what he said ^^^^^^^
Did you look in the meanrom folder on ur SD card. Inside of there is the stock kernel. Second try to flash cleanROM and see if that helps. And if that doesn't work, look for the modifiedsuperwipe.zip. if all else fails..... I had the boot loop a while a go. All I did was flash the modifiedsuperwipe.zip and then flashed the ROM of choice and i was good to go. Hope this helps a lil
I'm stumped
So I did the modified wipe. I thought it was going to be smooth sailing well, I plugged in the phone and went to fast boot tried sending my phone a command line but it hangs on waiting for device. So now I'm stuck wondering wtf. No go on fastboot commands for now that is unless someone has an idea on that. Is there a way to perhaps browse root from recovery and transfer the boot image from my sd card to the folder in needs to. Go to? Or can I mount as a usb storage device and move the boot.img file to where it needs to go from the computer. I'm so desperate to fix this issue without surrendering to defeat and bringing it somewhere for someone else to do it. Hell I probably can't afford it if I have to. Whelp, if you have any thoughts I'm grateful. Thanks for the assistance thus far fellas. When bootloader loads it says I believe loading PG86DIAG.zip no image found if that means any more to any of you. I also tried reinstalling meanrom. I booted into recovery via hold power +. Volume up then choose recovery. Twrp loads. Choose meanrom zip flash image. According to twrp this goes down swell with not a problem but when I boot to system still I get the black screen. It mocks me still.
oh yes. Probably worth mentioning. Today I was working from a bit installation of windows. It was a pain on the as o get the adb drivers workingnet but finally found something called pdapal installed it and it got things squared away or so I thought on the windows drivers side of things. So in device manager there are no errors and it says the android device is working properly now alert symbols over the driver or anything but still can't get the phone to accept fastboot commands.

Thanks
I've got twrp flashed fine. However my phone won't respond to commands while in fastboot from the command prompt. It says waiting for device and never responds. Is there a possibility that usb debugging is not working. Is there a way to the? this on from recovery if you needed. I'm not nt intimidated by advanced procedures Im an analyst programmer and am stuck doing super boring things most of the day. I can't believe I'm being thrown a curve ball like this. I'm definitely humbled. Just saying that anything you throw out there Ide be willing to give a shot at this point.

I'm not nt intimidated by advanced procedures Im an analyst programmer and am stuck doing super boring things most of the day. I can't believe I'm being thrown a curve ball like this. I'm definitely humbled. Just saying that anything you throw out there Ide be willing to give a shot at this point.

could be the abd drivers are not on your pc for your phone the reason i said to get ext4 recovery is you can flash kernels now you still cant do that with twrp but with your phone plunged in, in fastboot go to my computer right click propertys go to hardware tab click device manager and look for a question mark that says android phone if it is their you need the drivers
hope i helped you out

Are you sure you are accessing fastboot from bootloader ? By your words, it seems like you are checking fast boot in settings> power
Does the bootloader say fastboot-usb? If not select it and press power.

Still Trying
Yeah, I'm definitely in fastboot through bootloader. Yes it says fastboot usb. I think despite the fact that it says drivers are installed properly in device manager there might still be some kind of driver issue. I'm away from home and don't have access to. My usual computers? I'm stuck on an installation of windows 7 64bit. Originally I was having issues getting the right drivers installed and so I installed pda net and that seemed to solve the issue in device manager but I'm still having issues. If there's some recovery I could flash which would allow me toove boot.img to the right path manually that might be a way I could solve this. Hell, I'll give anything a try. So that's where I am so far. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or where I might go from here?
hboot 1.5 s-on
I've got the same specs as you save the rom and kernel. @ itzloltraim.
I did try flashing clockwork mod using rom manager before my phone started having issues but even though rom manager said it flashed when I booted to recovery next twrp was still there. Is there somewhere I can download a flashable zip from? I couldn't find one last time I looked. From what I remember the Dev Site Links to rommanager to get it. If you have a link that would be a help.
Questions
Hboot?
Base?
Have you tried flashing clockworkmod?

That plus what is he doing rooting or trying to flash a recovery?
Yea, I have the same problem...
I was running MeanROM4.1 with the dodava kernel. Being an idiot I flashed the new Anthrax kernel and now my phone gives me a black screen. When the phone starts up, theres no lock ring. Ive been trying to flash another kernel but i dont seem to be doing it properly. im using 4ext as recovery.
Im currently performing a Superwipe then factory reset. Ill reply with my findings. Good thing I backed up at MeanROM3.91, but if I cant get my screen to work...shall I assume bricked?
**problem solved. I flashed a kernel using the fastboot method. Someone posted it and it worked fine for me.**
Sigh...
Sorry to rant here. hoping i can get answers, to common problems obviously but even though i researched & tried many stuff that i'm unfamiliar with, after 15hours trying, i decided to post.
Certain issues came up while flashing, some fixed(accidentally), but now my HTC one x+ (Asia), which was perfect, is stuck with a non-working ROM which does't get any Radio (no network/sim), also the SD card (internal) is not detected.
I JUST WISH TO GO BACK TO STOCK ROM NOW...
I know how to UNLOCK it using ALL IN ONE TOOLKIT.
I'm now dowloading (on a slow internet in Philippines) an (OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299070u0mcx8aiaku8jgn4.zip),
hoping i will be able to go to Bootloader, fastboot & just click the RUU?
(honestly i dont even know if it will be an EXE, & the correct way)
I'm just hoping if i can re-lock the device, and run a RUU exe, i will have my phone again.
What i did to end up like this below (if anyone bothers to read)
first it was stuck at boot, then i flashed more stuff im aware of, trying to fix anything. i think i shall skip mentioning what i tried as i myself not sure what i did.
bottom line, now the htc one x+ turns on, charges, gets wifi (but no data network & no sd storage)
SD card (while detected, was wiped clean) - no ROMS there now.
I cannot go into RECOVERY BOOT, and pc sometimes recognises the ONE X+ device, but not as a storage card!!??
I have no backup in the Sd anyway..
someone please help me...
i think my post above doesnt make sense, as im so tired trying to fix it by researching.
if there is a simple STEP BY STEP guide to going back to stock ROM please help.
(i'm guessing what i can find for HTC one x can also be used for HTC one x+???)
i saved up many months for this phone.
i loved it so much, & it was perfect, but i wanted to try tweaking & trying the 4.2.1...
i regret it so much as im stuck..my brain is not working anymore after reading so much..
hi
to anyone who can give me a quick reply..
at this point, i have no ROM in my HTC One X+
I am trying my hardest to get back the stock ROM
so now im downloading the RUU exe.
RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.14.707.16_Radio_3.1204.167.31_release_290413_signed.exe
I really think thats the right one for my CID
NOW, after it completes download, (in about 3more hours!)
I intend to RE-LOCK my phone.
Go into FASTBOOT, connect to PC & simply RUN the RUU exe file..
MY QUESTION
Is this the right way? i tried with another RUU exe whih was for Cingular,USA, obviously it said WRONG RUU! but it was starting to TRY TO FLASH/INSTALL etc..so it seems like if i get the right RUU it will work??
(i found some links to use the COMMAND PROMPT but i tried & i still cannot get it fixed..)
please..i know this is all a common problem.. but i really just want my phone back.. at least to working condition..
im now thinking of bringing it to some repair shop, but i don't know anywhere here that can fix android or HTC.. i'm in Cebu, philippines by the way...
Sideload
You can try adb sideload option with TWRP recovery and a custom ROM. That should solve your problem. Finding correct RUU and installing them does not work easily most of the times.
To revert back to your original RUU, you need to
- relock your bootloader
- go to USB fastboot (connecting the the phone to your PC)
- run your Asian RUU from PC and follow instructions and wait
Thank you Steve0007 (I like your Avatar!)
Yes, i'm hoping it will be simple...
(Is it correct after i relock the device, the bootloader shows RE-LOCKED!?? , just curious as i don't know what it says before.. shouldn't it say.. LOCKED??).. oh well..
Sadly i'm using super slow internet to download whatever i can...
now i'm waiting for the Asian RUU (executable) to be downloaded, so i can try this method!
In the meantime..i'm gonna keep reading up about other methods.
thnks so much!

Hi Abhishek... thank you for all the Messages in inbox... relieved to get some help..at least..this phone is my baby..
I see, ... while waiting for the RUU to be downloaded, i think i shall try to find out how to do TWRP recovery!
I have One_X+_All-In-One_Kit_v2.3 (by Hasoon2000)
somehow it doesnt show TWRP...
it shows CWM (ATT),
and CWM International
and Your Own Recovery
i'm sorry i ask so many newbie questions.. but its really helpful for people who are in panic..
(on a sidenote, .. my wife thinks im crazy trying to (HACK-her words.. JAILBREAK-her understanding.. -SPOILING-her verdict) a perfectly fine phone!..)
I've been flashing ROMS and customising stuff on WINDOWS MOBILE since 2005/6 since the O2 Mini days.. but now i decided to 'ply' around with my device and find out i know NUTS!
I feel for you mate I did same after a week of trial and error I managed to adb sideload a Rom hope u get it fixed

Oh..by Custom ROM, you mean one of those suitable ROMS found here right?
Which means i should ensure its UNLOCKED..
i now have in my hard drive...these ROMs downloaded..will these do??

Yes Andy1969, thanks.
I've been trying for about 17hours total now... (i realise i must be not as 'techie' as i thought!)
i have refrained from flashing ever since i got HTC touch, Touch Dual, Diamond, HD, Sensation, One X and now finally got my dream phone One X+.. which is almost perfect.. But i had an itch to start fiddling with it after owning it for just about 2 months...
even though i regret it, at this moment.. i feel that somehow after i learn more..my addiction to flashing may come back just like in those Windows Mobile days!
TWRP2
DELETED
TWRP
First try the RUU you have downloaded. If not, then unlock again and install TWRP from this link http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/130 and try sideloading Slim Rom you have downloaded.

I managed to install TWRP!
now when i choose RECOVERY it goes straight to the TWRP...
i dont really know why the SLIM ROM sideloading did not work... as in SD card (as stated in TWRP) shows only the TWRP folder...
but at least im seeing progress...
i will keep trying sideloading some ROMS... maybe need to change name of file etc??
anyway..when i got into TWRP..1st thing i did was back up... at least for now..its better than being totally bricked...
i am back into the non-fully-working AOKP Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Custom ROM which doesnt recognise my sim or my sd card...
I DID IT! (i think..i hope)
WELL...
by some fluke.i managed to use TWRP to sideload the SlimBean ROM.. wow... 1st it was all error..so since its in the SD partition, i used TWRP recovery to reflash...still many buggy errors... network was found but no calls can be made.. now i did a factory reset from the phone settings itself.. (not the TWRP) and wala... all seems to be fine..
wifi, text, calls all ok..
yet to test others.. its 12.45am now!
so i spent 2 full days for my silly trial... but its ok.. i learnt stuff anyway..
BUT the SD card problem still exists... no detected..will work on it tomorrow or try new roms etc..
but the SlimBean interface & 4.2.1 is really cool & different..
im pretty sure there will be some errors tomorrow.. (just have a feeling)..if not.. then it will be best..
for now.. HOME button doesnt get me back to HOME! (will try settings etc)..now checking out other settings before i get some rest!
cheers.. will update again tomorrow..
Good progress. Now you know how to bring your phone back to life

You keep saying "SD Card" problem. What do you mean by that? You do understand our phone has no SD Card or SD Card partition. What you think of as the SD Card is nothing but a folder called "media" on the /data/ partition. That means we can't do things like mount our device as mass storage on PC's or mount SD Card in recovery.

Yes i understand it doesn't have a 'physical' SD Card, but in Stock Rom, in File Explorer, it is recognised as SD Card.
Also, when plugged into PC, it is recognised as External Storage... from PC, it was possible to access the Internal Storage, and within that, the SD Card, which inluded DCIM, and whatever folders it had..
BUT now all tht 'SD' portion is gone.. Gallery cannot be viewed as there is no 'SD Card' (system prompt)
Camera doesn't work too as there is no 'SD Card' (system prompts again)
Help pls! Rom is gone! Usb unrecognized!
NOW its worse!! pls help!
I woke up this morning, turned the HOX+ on...
I found that most functions not working! (example-FILE MANAGER/CAMERA/BROWSER HAS STOPPED WORKING PROMPT,etc)
I knew that i will try re-flash today, so i went into TWRP recovery again & re-flashed the same SLIMbean rom.
still didnt work, so i wiped data etc...
I didnt realise I ALSO WIPED AWAY EVERYTHING!
SO NOW THERE IS NO ROM AGAIN..
if i boot it's STUCK AT HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT screen, and worst, if i go into FASTBOOT, when i plug the usb into my Windows 8 PC, it DOESN'T say FASTBOOT USB anymore!!
so the pc doesnt recognise the device and i cannot use the all-in-one toolkit!
HOPELESS
