Root Evo 4g, stuck on bios, cant turn on debug...

So my friend had tried to update to cyanogen 3.0 and it "soft bricked" his phone. he didnt have debugging mode on, so now he cant acess the sd card or connect to computer, and it only boots to bios. Any help would be apprecated.

welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you mean clockwork mod 3.0? do you have s-off? what is your hboot?

So he can't get to H-boot or recovery?

I'm very confused on what he was attempting to update to as well.

CyanogenMod is on version 7.1

MikG3.0 maybe?

when I turn the phone on its a white screen with
Revolutionary
Supersonic evt2-3 ship s-off
Hboot-6.16.1002
Micro-041f
Touch panel-atmel224_16ab
Radio-2.15.00.0808

Fastboot

<vol up> previous
<vol down> next
<poWER> selecta


Bootloader
Reboot
reboot bootloader
Power down



(Now if I select bootloader it brings up fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hboot USB. I can go into recovery but can't mount SD card and computer doesn't recognize the phone, or I would just put it into dl mode and push a stock rom or something to get it back to normal

so in recovery you can't mount the sd card? well you can try and use a card reader to tranfer the files over. maybe try and reboot the computer as well.

EDIT:if you have a card reader then try this ruu:

rename the ruu to PC36IMG and place on the card, no folders. then reboot into bootloader. and select yes to update.
