Hey EM, could we try to flash the RUU and see if that fixes the FC's?

My sd card was originally in my evo 3d, and I only factory reset to fix the sense issue and then it did temporarily and then google wallet went down and google claimed it was a hard ware problem which just can't be right !!! So I'm not sure what the problem is but please read my posts above to get a better idea of how this all happened me and early mon have been working side by side to try and figure something out and any help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!!!
Wallet has separate security keys. The reset while Wallet was in use is what hosed that key storage. It may have been a fusible security function built in to the NFC chip, or simply erased the key storage.
Chips with fuses that can be blown have been around for some time. The fact that rooters get around it, and that the phone worked again at repair strongly indicates no such hardware burnout happened and that's just the story that they tell.
WiMax had a set of security keys. Rooters that mucked about and lost those got stuck without WiMax, so that parallel exists.
This case sprang from unguarded software for a common user function. The phone may well need replacing but that cost ought be borne by HTC.
Welcome! More info would be helpful.
What handset was the card in before the Evo LTE?
What files are on the card?
Manufacturer of card?
etc.
Alot of work involved, but if you remove all files from the card and re-insert it to the phone does it still cause the problem? (determines if this is a hardware issue or software issue). You could go folder by folder and add the files back to where they were and track down which file or folder is causing the conflict? (This SD card issue will probably be specific to your situation - others probably have different things causing issues with Sense)
Hey 814 evo...
Just to help you clarify your situation .... your hardware NFC chip is NOT fried... you can still use it for beaming apps/web pages etc.... the factory reset, fried the secure element, which is a piece of software that authenticates with the NFC chip for secure transactions (credit card). The Google rep you talked to is correct, the sprint techs are clueless. The reason you need to reset the wallet app before doing a reset is because when you first set up the wallet app, it generates a token (element) that binds the app to the nfc chip, this prevents the app from being hacked or a duplicate card being used on another phone. The only way to unbind the two is to reset the wallet from within the app.
Performing a factory reset without first telling Google wallet to release the secure element causes the software brick. I'm assuming this is because after a factory reset, the wallet app tries to generate a new secure element key, because it lost the original from the reset. But the actual NFC chip still has the original key stored. But resetting the wallet app beforehand let's the NFC chip lose its key. So after a factory reset they can pair with each other again.
As long as you don't set up a credit card or Google prepaid card...you won't brick the secure element because a key is never generated.
Thank you as well your correct in your post I quoted above because unfortunately I did set up a pre paid card before I reset to fix the sense crashing issue which at first it was fixed but now it is not it is right back to constantly crashing and now I can't even use google wallet
Any other wallet type apps that come out should work fine, although no one knows for sure if the secure element is tied to the app(Google wallet) or if all future apps that need secure transactions will refer to the same secure element key. However it has been confirmed that all other NFC features do continue to work even if the secure element has been bricked.
Okay well hopefully either google fixes that and uses a better way to secure the app or something and hopefully all future apps won't do the same since clearly a simple factory reset will brick that feature and the app will be useless. So hopefully they learn from googles buggy program and find a better/ able to be fixed if need be security feature.

There is nothing wrong with how the software works, as far as the security etc. It all makes sense to do it that way, and there are any number of secure packages that work exactly that way. The problem is actually with the reset function. The reset doesn't know to warn you first. Google can't fix it, because they can't link there software into the factory reset.
It should be documented too. This isn't a new problem. You get the same kinds of issues even with Windows activation, for much the same reasons.
Well if that's the case then something needs to be done because clearly I'm not alone in this and now that software won't be utilized on my device and many others over that faulty issue. I don't care who's to blame but I expect more from sprint, HTC, and google of all people!

The card was previously in my old Evo 4g. I transferred my music, pictures, and doc files to my pc. Although I did not format the card, I manually deleted every single file from the card. The sd card is a SanDisk 16gb micro sd hc. What would be the best way to format the card?
