I have a virgin mobile Evo 3d that has the bootloader unlocked from HTCdev (whatever whatever lol), but I didn't think that really mattered since I am S-Off. The error I get is E: Can't open /sdcard/ROMs/Cool-ICS-v9-EvoC.zip(bad). Any assistance anybody can offer me to get this rom on my Evo3D would be absolutely awesome. Instructions to get where I need to get is what I really need. Thanks
It seems the error is due to the zip file being bad (not trying to be sarcastic). I recommend you download the ROM again.
Tried that...

I have actually downloaded cool ICS five times from both of the links he provided and have had no success. I am on the stock rom rooted and deodexed. Do I have to flash Freeza 2.89 firmware or what do I need to do. Asked coolexe but he simply told me to post my question here lol.
Check the zip first by opening in up on your computer, second could be a bad sd card, so try to format it .

Funny you said this because it was in fact the sd card... It was a third party 32gb micro sd and once I tried a Kingston everything is working thus far. Even though it is not a sandisk or kingston can I format the micro sd 32gb without this continuing to happen or is imitation just a temporary fix until the issues arise lol? Thanks all.
Sometimes a format can help if the sector gets marked as bad. Worth a try, but I wouldn't trust it with anything important.

I skimmed through the general thread and FAQ and couldn't find anything on this, so I figured I'd post this!
I didn't have a smaller SD card and figured nothing bad could happen, so just used my 32GB SD card and it boinked out. Thought it was done for...until today! Here's how I got it to work.
1. Make sure you have your SD card in your phone.
2. Boot into your recovery (I used TWRP and haven't tested this on Amon Ra.)
3. Mount your USB storage and go to "My Computer" to view your storage drives.
4. Your SD card should pop up as a Removable Disk that has no info. Simply format the drive, reboot into your ROM, and bam! Fully working SD card
If anyone can test this in Amon Ra and let me know if it worked, be much appreciated, thanks!
easiest way is this:
do your s-off. boot into amon ra. goto the options and format the SD card right then and there.
you're supposed to always format the card right after S-oFF, or else the slot tends to not work right or something. this is pretty much why they said to try to use an extra backup card instead of using your own personal one, so ya don't have to lose everythin
Whoops, just realized I posted this to development lol. Sorry to any mod, if you could please move it.

I couldn't even get S-Off to work, lol. I tried for about 30 minutes and ended up with a "dead" SD card. My recovery didn't even see my SD card, I just mounted my USB storage for S&Gs to see what would happen.
Something I find that really helps as well is to make sure you don't flash the Gingerbread hboot when using the S-OFF program. I didn't think it would, but it did manage to give me SD card issues until I flashed a proper ICS hboot.
I'm only mentioning this because after I S-OFFed and got the SD card issues, formatting it did nothing at all to fix the problem. Only after I got the right hboot did everything finally start working again.

I didn't even get that far lol. S-Off didn't work and my SD card was a dud afterwards. my computer would see the drive, but wouldn't do anything with it. My phone just said "blank SD card" and couldn't format.

It was strange. I just figured that it would have erased the contents of my card and that was it. thought I had lost it entirely lol. Glad I didn't just throw it away.

The method I posted. Just went into recovery, mounted USB storage and formatted my card from Windows. The only downside is that formatting can ruin an SD card...but it's not much to worry about if the card isn't working, anyway =p

formatting can ruin an SD Card? please elaborate. i format SD cards all the time.
I've had a few where the format went "bad" due to some reason and rendered the SD card completely useless. Same has happened to a few people I know and have read of the issue before. I didn't mean that to say "Formatting your SD card enough will ruin it" lol.
*EDIT* I wish I knew about that insurance you talk about in your sig when I bought my phone

I just unmounted mine in Android and formatted it with Windoze. Then I formatted it again in Android. I've corrupted SD Cards all kinds of ways. It's real easy to do if you get stupid with the overclocking/undervolting. I've formatted the 32 gig I first got for my BlackBerry 9630 a few dozen times. It's still as reliable as any other SD Card I have. Better than some, in fact. The only real good way to format a solid state memory device is to write zeros to it. If not, NAND (which your SD Card is) device write cycles can take twice as long.
guys i tried all the format methods listed above still no luck, windows states its a raw format with 0 mb available

I had to download a program that was made just for formatting SD cards. Once I used that it formatted the card fine but windows and my phone would not.

Thanks Chyrux. Your method worked for me . was about to throw away the card but you saved it.
Thanks 1m+ times
Well How many times should I thank you
Thanks Thanks this was the only working method thx very much
Ok so my 32gb pny sd card randomly stopped working, this happened while performing a nandroid backup on amon ra 3.15 which took way too long (20 minutes or so) after it finished it would no longer mount.
So I tried it on my pc with no luck. I can see what's on the sd card from my computer, but if I click on anything, it will freeze up.
Any suggestions? I wanna try to save what's on it but I'm expecting to lose it, I don't wanna try a re format if there is another solution.
Any advice is appreciated

Have you.tried just formating your card? I know it's hard to bite that bullet if you have stuff saved but that may be your only choice if its not responding.

I'm stuck in a bootloop. I was flashing a ROM that needed the old TP so I have the image zip on my sd card. When I flashed the ROM it won't work so I had to reboot. Now I can't get back into recovery since booting to bootloader just keeps wanting to reinstall the TP zip then reboot. I can see my sd card on my pc to remove the image zip either. Can anyone please help with this?
Dude just take out your SD card and boot into recovery.

No, we've all done it. Or, something on the same level. At least it's an easy fix!

Now it makes sense why everything I've ever read says to put the img file on the "external" sd card.

haha and then DELETE it after flashing
I just ran into this same problem. Thank you Google and thanks for the obvious tip to pull the SD card.
Hey everyone and thank you for all the help its greatly appreciated!
So today i decided to flash CM 10.2 on my Evo. I was coming from CarbonRom and just felt like flashing a new rom today. Well everything went fine as far as flashing until CM booted up and then i realized holy crap i forgot the Gapps (I've f;ashed quite a bit of roms and usually remember to do this in recovery) and i quickly rebooted the phone to Hboot and accidentally hit "Factory Reset" the splash screen loaded and i freaked out again and shut the phone off and went into HBOOT again went to Recovery and then recovery told me that it could not mount the Internal SDcard. Now i can not access my back ups or anything. My phone still boots up and works but it will crash and re boot if i run any Google app i had on Carbon I.E. Gmail or Chrome. Im trying to restore my last CarbonRom back up to try this whole process again. Sorry if i skipped any info you may need. I have to be up early for work tomorrow and im just trying to get some sleep so my search on this site and Google wasn't really effective. I did how ever try to format the sdcard through TWRP and my USB but neither was able to detect the card.
Thank you again for all your help the Devs and this site are truly amazing.
Wait, so can you get into recovery?

So connecting your phone to your PC and mounting the internal storage to format from your computer was not successful?

Correct, my phone wouldn't mount the internal memory. My Computer would acknowledge that the phone was plugged in but nothing would happen. Even when I would try to enable the storage on the phone.

Hello,
I have stock ICS 403 active with HBOOT 1.53.0007 and unlocked resp. rooted my Evo ed using the HTC method.
I have also installed 4ext recovery using fastboot tool and tried to flash Cool-ICS-v18-EvoG.zip after backup,factory/data reset, wipe cache and davlik.
But I have got message E:can't open /sdcard/Cool-ICS-v18-EvoG.zip (bad).
I made a restore and downloaded again the zip-file as I thout it might be corrupted. Resul the same.
Then I googled and found that I can flash a ICS based rom also using the original recovery (CWM). I reflashed recovery again with original cwm recovery image.
Performed the same steps: Backup, factry reset, wipe cache and davlik.
But also there the zip-file could not be opened.
What might be wrong?
Could you please give me a hint. Thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Klaus
Reformat your sd card from scratch using 4ext recovery, or try another sd card.
Maybe it's bad.
Try to backup ther data on your sd card before.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for yor your reply. This I have done already.
I bought a brand new sd card. But the problem still remains? Might there be a permission problem?

Thanks again. I Tried with LeeDr0iD rom. And I had the same. I am really stuck.
Could it come, because I downloaded with my PC and the copied it using USB?
I mean I can copy, delete, rename and move files using Total Commander. So I don't think it comes from a wrong formatted sdcard.
It must be something else.
Thanks again.
With kind regards,
Klaus

Hi,
I could solve my problem. I redownloaded the zip file and suddenly now it worked. Don't know what went wrong.
No I am happy. :laugh:
Thank's for your support.
