Root HTC Evo 4G 0 MB storage.

norman39 · Jan 8, 2015

I tried rooting a HTc Evo 4G sprint phone I bought. Somehow one of the roms I screwed up my phone with. My phone has recovery flashed on it. However it won't mount storage or SD card. No matter what I try. I can't fastboot flash anything, but recovery. The recovery says unable to mount storage and unable to mount SD card. Shows 0 MB storage too.

Well hello there norman!
Got the Evo 4g eh? Nice! I still have mine too!! Best device EVER!!

(in its day)
Anyhoo, what recovery do you have?

Edit: oh, when your phone is booted up, does your phone see the sd card? Or does it not boot up?

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

PC36IMG_TWRP_Recovery_2.7.0.0_SELinux_support. I have been able to fastboot flash recovery only. Always get remote not allowed error on anything else. SD ext card got screwed up. Internal storage says 0 MB on recovery and always says can't mount storage or Sd card.

I have no Operating system on phone according to recovery. REboot stays on HTC 4G EVO tm screen and reboots.

Mikestony · Jan 9, 2015

You mention, "Always get remote not allowed error on anything else."....does that include the AmonRa recovery?

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

Recoveries do fine. The Amon ra showed up as LG510 or something. It won't work.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

I tried the Sprint RUU.exe it works until I choose the new update. Then my fastboot freezes up. Next the Ruu shows a page saying error in connection. Check USB cable, etc. I noticed fastboot on bootloader freezes up everytime I try it and other things. End up pulling battery and getting to bootloader again.

Hasve to go to work soon. Will check on status after 10 PM. Please help me if you can.. Thanks in advance.

Mikestony · Jan 9, 2015

Whoa now lol...what Sprint RUU? Are you wanting to unroot?

Are you getting the AmonRa PC36img file from...?
Try this link and go to step 2, "How to get recovery"

AmonRa works very well with the Evo 4g.
What size sd card do you have? and what class of card?

I"ll try to check back, but usually I'm in snoozeville by 10 pm

Edit: I should have clarified, that's 10 pm Central time

would also help to know what is your hboot. it is found in the bootloader at the top of the screen.

and using a ruu is your last resort. once you get a recovery, try and flash a custom rom.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

Toshiba 8 GB Micro SD card. No longer works. PC won't recognize it either. Hboot is 2.18 The RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed is one I tried after relocking bootloader. My phone freezes up on fastboot after I choose the update 4.13 on Ruu process screen. Tried loading a rom and got the same remote not allowed message, etc..

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

that is becuase your bootloader is locked.....you must unlock it first to get recovery and flash a rom.

what radio do you have?
......it has been a while so i forget which hboot 2.18 belongs with what firmware and radios.

have you tried other ruu's as well?

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

radio is 2.15.00.01.15. Phone is unlocked. Ship S-ON.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

My phone says Supersonic EVT3.

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

ok so a couple of things:
.........before all of this happened, were you s-off and unlocked? or did you only unlock your bootloader?

your radio suggests that you have have the 5.07 OTA firmware which older ruu's will not work.

what recovery do you have working now?

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

I installed the Amon Ra that was suggested PC36IMG_RA_2.3. No s-off only unlocked before.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

No way I could find to s-off

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

Just tried to go into recovery phone shows picture ofa phone with a red triangle and ! inside it.

hmmmmmm recovery must not have stuck.....try running the PC36IMG file for amon ra again.

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

your radio suggests that you have the 5.07 software which is the latest ota for the phone.......and yes you can get s-off, but it is not as easy as it used to be:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-rooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-dummies-guide.html

as for what to do now.........let me think this thru a minute or two.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

Tried flashing it again on fastboot. will try it again.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

Reflashed it again. Worked this time. ON recovery.

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

ok......good. try and see if you can mount your phone now.

curious as to what rom you used before this happened as you said one of the roms screwed your phone up....which one was it?

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

My SD card is messed up so can't use that. Can't access my phone storage either. Says 0 MB and unable to mount.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

I kept trying different roms. some wouldn't load unto phone because of failing thing. Evervolv was last one.
