Stuck At HTC White Screen :/ Bricked?

So I think i have officially bricked my Evo. Apologies if this is the wrong sections. Didnt know where to put it.
Well I had rooted with Simpleroot and everything was just fine. But when i tried to install a copy of the Fresh root suddenly i was stuck at the white screen. So i went into recovery and and wiped everything. I also partitioned the sd card... Dont know if i should have done that but i figured it would wipe everything.. It did and now my zip files are gone. I Dont know what to do.. Yikes
Help much appreciated .

Lol because lol

Probably shoulda gone into Q&A....but u erased all.the data on ur card when u formatted it. You should probably follow the root instructions again from the start including copying the files to your sd card and u should be fine.
You could have done a simple search and fixed ur issue.

Sorry I thought this my be the wrong forum section. I cant access my Sd card though?

Your Evo isn't bricked.
Select the USB-MASS toggle feature in recovery mode, that'll mount your SD card to your computer, then drop a ROM or two onto the root of your SD card, wipe, then flash one.

Or pull the SD card out and put it in an adapter and plug into computer, then drop a couple roms on it

Youre definitely not bricked. Pull the battery out, boot into fast boot, wait a sec while it does its thing, then select wipe/restore factory defaults. Then it should be fine. This happened to me 2 days ago. When bricked, the phone won't even turn on. It does nothing, thus the term.

Im sorry you feel that way maybe you need to hug from someone but not me. There was nothing rude or wrong with my posting. There are basic knowledge required to do what the OP wants to do and so I directed toward that direction. If you would like to continue to express your PERSONAL feelings please PM me.

Yeah Anyways. The problem now is that everytime i try and boot from a zip file i just get a white screen. Is there anyway to bypass this?

Which ROM's are giving you theses problems?

Ive tried the fresh 1.0.1 thats when it all started then i tried the EVO-NonSense.
I had been flashing roms before the Fresh one now im just stuck at the white screen.

Are you using Koush's Clockwork recovery? Try flashing Yay 4 Juggs ROM.

Im using the RA recovery that came with SimpleRoot

Yeah, just try flashing a different ROM.

Hmm i'll try. Is there anyway to earse my root and start over? Because for now im just get the htc Evo 4g white logo everytime i try and flash a new ROM

Did you update the radios and all that too? Did you make sure and use the right version of simple root for your software?

Yeah Yesterday I was flashing ROMS normally. Something may have happened when i tried to flash a radio and wimax

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBu6GsRZMdI Some random video I looked up on YouTube that shows you how to unroot. It's a hassle, to unroot, then root again, I'd give flashing a different another shot before I did that.
Stupid question: Are you wiping data and dalvik cache before flashing a ROM?

[Q] Update.zip for SGH-T989

Hi guys,
I know most of you will say I'm a noob who hasn't searched and everyone and their mom knows this but im new to the custom roms, I have a US T mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989. I have rooted it and flashed the latest clockwork but when i try to install the custom rom it says im missing the update.zip file. and i cant find that damn thing anywhere online. I have harassed the search on Google, YouTube, xda and every other site i can think of but i cant find anything..... please......help?

Don't select update from zip.
Choose install/update from custom zip. It's a separate option.

RE
i do select the install custom but i dont have the actual update.zip file in my sdcard. i dont know where to get it

How were you able to install clockworkmod and root, but you can't find a rom? That's ass-backwards if you ask me.
Check the development forum. Plenty of roms in there. Most of them zipped.

i did find a rom but when i try to install it, i get a message that update.zip is missing

Select 'install zip from sdcard', then select 'choose zip from sdcard'. If it's on the internal, not an actual microsd card, select 'choose zip from internal sdcard'.

I'd start from scratch. Sounds like you did something wrong...

First off what the F is villain...
2nd... take the battery out, plug in your usb cable to the PC. Hold vol UP + vol DOWN and plug in your USB cable to the phone while holding the volume buttons. Does it go into Download mode?
**EDIT** If your talking about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198334
Then yes you are an idiot. I'm sorry Thats for the UK version and I believe you are bricked. You could try a USB jig...
I'm afraid now (if even possible) your new friends will be Download Mode and ODIN..

Isn't the VillainROM a ROM for the i9100? If so, that is a completely different phone and you probably are f-ed.

sorry to say it bro but...
Have fun with your new paper weight.
If the phone is new, you can probably get a warranty exchange.

villain was supposedly a rom,
I did as you said but the screen does not light up or show anything, i hear the noise on the computer as if it recognizes it

Yea it is. I edited my post with the link to where he probably got it.. suckes when we can't help people :/

The question is where did you get the ROM from? There is not a VillainROM in the T989 dev section. VillainROM is in the i9100 (international Galaxy S 2) dev section.

If thats the case and it makes a noise you can "try" starting ODIN and see if it recognizes it on a COM port. if so you might be fixable...

just wanted to say thank you for your guys help and patience with us noobs. I know im an idiot and didnt do enough research. I was trying different roms and non worked, thery kept saying no update.zip file

If you did flash a rom from the international version sorry to say you are hard brick nothing you do will fix it.. Only option you have is to do a warranty exchange and play dumb or see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562758 the op seems to have found a way to fix hard bricked devices for a price so get a hold of him and see what he can do

You might be in luck if odin still recognizes it.
If not, you can try warranty or an unbricking service. There's one floating around for 40 USD or so.

[Q] Toroplus vs. Stock

Ok, here's a head scratcher (but then again, I have lice lol). Anyhow, Im having problems with my "new" SPH-L700. My last Sprint Gnex ate itself, and now Im not sure Im pretty safe in assuming Im on Stock. But Im not sure why the Toroplus ROMs I download, seem to not want to install. The only thing that DID stick was I corrected the radios as when it was given to me, it had two different radios so Im on 4.2.1 GA02 and they both match now. Im fully rooted (confirmed by Root Checker Pro) reset, and everytime Ive tried to install any ROMs they send my poor little andy on his back with a mean old red triangle coming out his poor belly. and the info tells me that the file is bad. Ive tried this with at least 3-4 ROMS and it's the same result.
Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Black out your IMEI. Or just delete the status screenshot; it's unnecessary. Are you using a custom recovery? What recovery and what version? What ROMs are you trying to flash? If you unzip the ROM what happens? Do any have md5sums?

Thank you for the info. I think it's done.
Im using CWM v. 6.0.3.6
Ive tried the new PAC-MAN 4.3, codename Android, Carbon & AOKP the closest thing I can come across that's close to an mdnsnd found that in AOKP and Carbon. Ive since deleted codename and Carbon Is there any other info you need? Im not a developer or anything. Never really had many problems once I got the hang of it. Usually I can figure it out, but this has gotten me conf*ckulated
Thanks,
Ridge
Oh yeah, sorry, when I try to install it, I get a bunch of mumbo jumbo that basically says its a (bad) file and it aborts the install.

Unzip one of the ROMs. What do you see? Folders? Files?
By md5sum I mean, do the ROM devs provide a md5sum? The purpose is to hash your downloaded copy and make sure it matches the dev's version.
I'm asking both questions to figure out whether the downloads are corrupt.

Im sorry I didnt get back to you sooner, I fell asleep. I cant rest til I know my baby (yes, I said it LOL), is all squared away. So usually I just pass out from exhaustion.
Anyway, when I try to install any of those ROMS i get this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package..
E: can't open /sdcard/o/then the name of the rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Then that's all she wrote. Im SO glad I remembered to do a backup before I started messing with my phone THIS time. (I forget a lot of times).
Ive checked all three of my ROMS, and I dont find any md5sums in any of them. It's very strange that either my computer would either corrupt or download 3 ROMS that I feel are usually pretty reliable. I DO however, have a "hash" .txt file in my phone's program. Might that be the trouble? Or is that supposed to be there when I root? Crazy SH*T man. I dunno. I thank you SO very much for all your help. This is quite frustrating. What's a dummy to do? LOL. If I came off snappy to you in my last post, it wasnt meant to be that way. I was just wondering if there was anymore info i could help you with. Im not so good with words sometimes, and I come off as an ass. I AM very appreciated of all your time and help. Doesnt seem like anyone in here really likes to help, and I get a bit cranky when I ask a question in a thread in here and I get made fun of instead of getting any help. So I really am glad for all your time and effort
Thanks so very much,
Ridge
P.S. I always forget all youve asked me... When Ive unzipped all the ROMs, I have folders that have TONS of files in them.

[H]Lack of ROMS for SM-T321

I cannot find any development for the 3G version of the Pro 8.4
I bought one today and the standard bloatful ROM on this thing won't even allow me to use Google services... so it is quite useless.
Please point me in the right direction or tell me when a T-321 ROM or Recovery is going to be available.
Very surprised to see zero development for this which is obviously superior to the WiFi-only version.

Hi! I know 100% how you feel. I got a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and there were 0 roms for it so I ended up creating the first one. I don't have the device which you have but I can create a rom for you (or at least try to). I can't guarantee if it will work or not but we can use trail and error if you are up for it. Let me know if that's cool with you.

No worries: I actually am just finishing downloading the stock rom for your device. It's very slow speed from the website. So what I will do is once it finishes downloading I will upload it to google drive and give you the link so you can have a fast download.
As for the rom i'm going to have to do a little bit of research before making it so it will take me a bit. I don't mean to scare you or threaten but if it doesn't work please don't hold me responsible for any damage. Although I don't think anything bad will happen. Worst case scenario I have seen with my tablet is I end up flashing stock again.

Yea, its the Chinese one. That is how I got into this mess...I can access google drive via my VPN service so it should work.

The CHN one probably doesnt have google account functionality. At least, the stock Chinese model I bought today doesnt. Maybe this is different. I will try. Otherwise, I might ask you to download the North American stock for me if it is not too much trouble.

Thanks so much. PM me your bitcoin address and I will buy you a beer.

This firmware is doing alot of random restarts unfortunately :|
Better than nothing I suppose. I will look around for a fix.

Well I'm glad the firmware worked out for you. I'm going to start working on the custom rom today so hopefully I can get it finished by day after tomorrow. As for the bit coin thing, I'm 14 so no can do.
But if you would like to give me a little something how about a google play credit code?
Edit: just saw the thing about the restart issue. I'll look into it as I have no clue why it would do that on stock.

How to flash d2spr Lollipop Roms on the d2lterefreshspr (SPH-L710T Tri-Band Model)

1st let me just say I'm not a developer at all just someone who enjoys custom roms as much as everyone else here! I'm not very good at explaining things so please try to bear with me and try to understand this the best you can! If any real developers read this please help us by adding support for our device and if any developers can explain this better please do so! For anyone with the d2lterefreshspr (SPH-L710T Tri-Band) wanting to flash almost any Lollipop Roms made for the d2spr you can flash them! You might 1st have to unzip the rom and go to the updater-script and delete the 1st part where it checks the recoveries build to see if your device is the d2spr or the d2lte and so on. Then repack the rom back into a zip file the flash it in recovery as you normally would. Then once the Rom boots you won't have a baseband or service or anything but I will tell you why and how to fix this. The d2spr's modem-image file are labeled different from our modem! At the bottom of this I will show you the list of each modems links so you can see which 1s are different and what you have to delete and resymlink to get the Rom to reconize your baseband and get your service working! But using a file manager with root access navigate to the files in "/system/etc/firmware/ " and delete the wrongly symlinked modem-images! Once you have done that navigate to "/firmware-mdm/images/" folder and start symlinking the correct files to "/system/etc/firmware/" folder. After this you might want to modify the buid.prop and change all parts that say d2spr to d2lterefreshspr but only if you want. Once you have done this reboot to recovery and flash the Lte apn fix zip then reboot. Now everything should work with service and everything! I have tried this on the latest SlimLP 5.1.1. Beta and A..I.C.P. Lollipop and a few other Lollipop Roms for the d2spr. If you would like to download some of the Roms I have modified the updater-scripts so they will flash on our device and the APN zip I flash with a flashable build.prop I have already modified just send me a message and I will send you a link to my drive account. I'm trying to create a zip we can flash in recovery that will delete the wrong symilinked files and symlink the correct files to help save us the trouble of this process and for people that don't know how to create a symlink file! But as I stated I'm not a developer so I might be able to but if any developers that could help us by creating 1 for us please please feel free to do so and let us know! But take a look at the 2 lists of symlinked files and delete the necessary files and create the new symlinks that our device needs! If the files show the correct symlinks on 1st boot but you still don't have service click on the symlinks and view its details and you will see it'ssymlinked to the wrong files. Just delete all symlinks and create the correct new 1s.

symlink("/firmware-mdm/image/dsps.b00", "/system/etc/firmware/dsps.b00");

For anyone unsure about creating the symlinks I have a very simple zip file to flash in recovery to delete the bad symlinks and make the right 1s! I have tested on SlimLP, A.I.C.P., Exodusand Pac-Man d2spr Roms. It will not mess up anything on your S3! It only does as stated. If you wanna check it its all in the script-updater. Just flash this after flashing a d2spr Lollipop rom and if you are also confused on modifying the script-updater for the rom so it will flash on the d2lterefreshspr then just flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery from TWRP's website and you wont have to worry about changing it!

Hey man this is great! This opens up a whole new world of wonders for this device. You have any idea how I can fix having to manually select apn after each reboot?

well, come to find out flashing octos, made for triband,,,,who knew, not me until today, anyway, its very easy. haha probably easier than ANYTHING i've done up to this point. i dont remember how much i've told you but the triband that i was fighting with so much may have had a problem from the very beginning. getting into recovery continually got harder and harder until it just wouldn't go. i tried about 8 times and it completely died. i mean its dead.im sad for that. that drops me to one sph-l710 with a crumpled usb and so i have to charge it wirelessly which is cool but its fragile. so ive got another refurb triband which im about to flash. WHY? ill be damned if i know why. this phone is rooted and cleaned out and runs beautifully. but, i want more. i guess or im just stupid which by reading this i may be. ill let you know.

tonight if your not busy with other people ill have some questions for you. im looking forward to it. i loaded the rom, gapps and now theupdate has been in a holding cycle for half an hour. it vibrates a little every so often. so i guess ill let it go. i want in so i can finish setting it up. ive got a lot of work to do. i know you must.

Will this zip work for KK roms too? Or is it only Lollipop? I'm willing to test it out but I just want to be sure that I won't brick my S3 since I can't afford a new phone right now.

Yes it should work and no flashing it wont brick ur device at all! Nothing is flashed or installed it only deletes the wrong symlinks and creates the correct ones!

its about time you showed up again. i thought like these other senior members that once you dealt with the senior citizen with debatable alzheimer's you had fled the country also. hehe man i don't know. on my other triband i had no music at well, no sound at all, none. and i had no cell service. now everything works except the bluetooth on the music. as soon as i boot it up the music locks up. its weird. i was just prepping my phone to go back to stock. i think these tribands are better stock with the bloatware removed and not too much of that. ya, i spend alot of time with my file manager. have you tried total commander? its great. you get it from gizmos freeware. im just getting to know it but i have it on the computer and its pretty good.

I just flashed the final d2lte CM11 snapshot and your zip file, and it worked! After flashing everything the ROM runs super fast and runs wonderfully! So far as I can tell everything works perfectly. Camera, SMS and MMS, GPS, Mobile Data, and Screen Rotation all work perfectly. My steps for flashing were:
Modify Updater-scripts file to remove device checking
Wipe system, dalvik and cache, and data.
Flash CM11 snapshot
Boot to system
Reboot into recovery and flash Gapps and APN fix (I'm on virgin mobile)

I never liked CM myself! I prefer Slim or S.O.K.P. Roms more then any other! You can use alot of the non triband roms kernels and tweaks but just not the bootloaders or modems!

guess what? my second triband died last night. just running, fine. so, went to turn it on and it wouldn't come back on. is there any kind of a reset for the samsungs thAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT? the exact same thing happened with the other triband i had. so i take the phone back to the store and they give me another triband, they said. so i get it home and looked at it and immediately knew that it wasn't a triband. it was the original sph-l710 that i bought", to begin with. these guys dont know what they are selling. id like to complain but to who? this is truly a beautiful phone wit the brushed blue metal look and its one of the "grade A" refurbished phone so i guess maybe i have faith that this one will work.however im a little short on faith right now.

Wow! Good luck man. Honestly, if I had to choose I'd want the original one over the tri-band.

ill tell you what, when it ran it ran very well. so what i want to know is tell me what you would do with this phone rom wise and maybe point me where to go get it. also i need all the stock files in case i have to flash this. this phone is very easy to fix. way easier than the triband but those had the same problem and i didn't know it until they up and died. so, if you have a minute. i've got all rooted. i've got selinux fixed and so, ....what is the latest liquid out there? by the way i watch the tide religiously. have for years. i also just noticed your logo. are you part of octos? ah, i think i saw your name. so i had octos on my triband when it died but i didnt have bluetooth on music. it worked on phone. tell me how to set up octos. man i liked it but i have to have that bluetooth music. how do i fix that?

For anyone unsure about creating the symlinks I have a very simple zip file to flash in recovery to delete the bad symlinks and make the right 1s! I have tested on SlimLP, A.I.C.P., Exodusand Pac-Man d2spr Roms. It will not mess up anything on your S3! It only does as stated. If you wanna check it its all in the script-updater. Just flash this after flashing a d2spr Lollipop rom and if you are also confused on modifying the script-updater for the rom so it will flash on the d2lterefreshspr then just flash the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery from TWRP's website and you wont have to worry about changing it!

Since you're not on a triband just flash the d2spr build, not the d2refresh build. You can run xposed on our ROM if you wish. We always recommend a clean flash, especially if coming from stock or any other ROM. Even if its Oct-L to Oct-M. ??
