I think I bricked my EVO
*****Solved!
I'm a long time EVO user and today I got my second one - White EVO HW 004 I've got for my wife. I carefully rooted it using HBOOT 2.02 instructions and it seemed to go well, besides the fact that it failed to FLASH radio, but it looks like alot of others had the same issue. So after rooting, I've booted in to a ROM and was able to verify that I have fool root access. So my next step was to FLASH OMJ ROM v4.0. This is where the things started to go wrong. I did whipe of everything and then selected FLASH ROM< from SDCARD. I got e:can't mount SDCARD: After rebooting EVO it vibrates 5 times quickly and dies. I can still boot in to bootloader and go to recovery. but bootloader does not like any of the PC36IMG.zip files I'm feeding it - it shows that it sees it and the progress bar moving on initial load, then checking it, then back to bootloader menu - i no longer get prompt to FLASH it. Recovery still can't mount SDCARD. I've tried using SDCARD from a working EVO - same problem. Am I screwed? Help please!
Solution:
found on another forum:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
while in bootloader/fastboot - this force-mounted sdcard, and now , recovery could see OMJ ROM and FLASHed successfully.
However my USB port no longer working neither for charging nor for adb, and I'm no longer rooted as I FLASHed stock ROM. There are some instructions on the web to recover USB port, but they require root, and I need USB to root, so I'm kind of in a dead loop. I will appreciate ideas.
