Phone won't show up as disc drive on PC. Shows MYHTC as device on manager. Just no drive to access.,

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

ok well either way......in order to get your phone working again, we need a sd card that works and something that is larger than 2g. the smaller cards do not work well with the og evo.

norman39 · Jan 9, 2015

Got to get up early for work. Check back tomorrow after 4 P. Thank you for your help. Maybe something will fix my phone. Good night and Tttyl.

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

ok,

..........do you have an sd card adapter or reader? you can download and move the rom directly to the card from your pc.

edit:
some other things to try:
1. new cord
2. sd card reader or adapter
3. new card (larger then 2g)
4. make sure htc sync drivers are installed

^ This.

Too many cooks spoil the soup so I just wanted to drop one extra tip and bow out - and it's this -

Before flashing anything, always check the md5 checksum - we have a tool for that in our Mini-SDK http://androidforums.com/threads/adb-guide-updated-2014-11-11.443072/#post-5389081

And s-on, pretty sure that you can only fastboot flash recovery, so that makes sense.

You're in good hands, good luck!

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

thanx early, that was going to be the next step if recovery still does not work. hopefully adb can communicate with the phone.

Not sure if you can push an entire system without the engineering bootloader yeah? o_O

ocnbrze · Jan 9, 2015

yeah this is true, but you need adb anyways to lower the misc partition and thus might be able to flash an older ruu.

edit:

or even get full s-off as well.

The ADB never shows my device.

norman39 · Jan 10, 2015

I can't get ADB to work on my PC.

ocnbrze · Jan 10, 2015

how did you unlock the device then? you need adb for that.

norman39 · Jan 10, 2015

I used the HTCDev unlocker site.

norman39 · Jan 10, 2015

I got information then posted it online and they sent me code to unlock phone. I can't get the ADB program to stay on. Use just command prompt. Can only do a recovery image. Bootmagic check error and others pop up after Fail when trying to install rom.

norman39 · Jan 10, 2015

I can use the Minimal ADB and fastboot program. Only fastboot part works as I know. Can't fastboot flash any rom. Always says remote failed error.

norman39 · Jan 10, 2015

On recovery trying adb commands and always get device not found.

You can't fastboot flash a ROM because -

That could be caused by either a bad usb driver or because /system is gone.

My opinion - get cheap sd card/usb adapter, plug in to pc, move rom over, flash from recovery.

Right now you're fighting too many unknowns.

Just my opinion.

norman39 · Jan 10, 2015

Yes I have no system. Think I screwed up internal storage too.

Too soon to panic.

Having a spare usb/sd adapter is always a good thing, not expensive and won't be good money after bad, you can always use one.

Getting another sd card, if you haven't already, will more than pay for itself with the time you're getting into this. Plus - spare sd card, always useful.

Don't panic.

norman39 · Jan 10, 2015

When I had other sd card my phone wouldn't mount it either. I left my spare at my Aunt's place. Can't get it for a week or so. 43 miles away.

Yeah - as you've discovered, it's possible to have fastboot access but not adb - Windows drivers are a real pain in the neck that way.

Options - what sd card do you have? I recall reading earlier that the guys advised that you have one too small, not sure. If true, could your aunt mail you the other one faster?

What Windows do you have (version and number of bits)? What adb drivers have you tried? Is HTC Sync installed?

How comfortable are you with the command line? If very comfortable, we could take you through a live Linux boot where there's no such thing as drivers.
