hey guys i completely bricked my phone fone as of this morning, this happened after i rooted, i didnt back up a stable copy after root and i tried to install an overclocking kernel called RCMIX_3D_EVO_kernel_v2.2.3
it failed and when i rebooted the wifi said error and wouldnt work. So i tried to install silverneedle it worked but left me in a boot loop. at the time i had a recovery of the wifi error rom but i accidently deleted the sd. Now i tried to boot PG86IMG.zip and update radios but now my screen is completely blank and it wont charge. I cant turn it on to get into recovery, is there anything i can do or am i completely f****d
 
Rcmix is for the cdma and that is your problem. Following the link in provided and try to install a gsm rom from recovery and report back
 
the problem is i cant get into bootloader because the phone wont turn on at all no power whatsoever, it wont charge ne more either. Do i need a fully charged battery from another evo 3d for it to power on?
 
You shouldn't need a fully charged battery, but I wouldn't try messing with anything with less than 30%. Wall chargers are cheap. Even one of those cheap eBay chinese batteries with a wall charger for like $12 USD (have no idea how that converts into whatever currency you use) would be ideal for this type of situation.

I assume he's not having any more problems as he isn't replying, but I figure I would make this point to anyone else having a similar problem.
 
The Sensation also uses the same battery dimensions. A lot of Sensation owners bought Evo 3D batteries because the 3D came with a bigger battery. My 1900 mAh battery says "For Evo 3D/Sensation" on it.

You can also buy a wall charger, if you have no friends with E3D / Sensations.
 
thanks guys im gonna probably just end up going to a rogers and asking them to try one of there batteries in it and ill try to flash a gsm rom if it turns on, is there any rom that you would recommend?
 
ok soo i finally was able to boot into bootloader through adb reboot, i flashed that gsm rom and also its stock kernel and now im stuck on the htc screen wont boot

Did you wipe before trying to flash? Wouldn't hurt to try it again. I'm not to sure about the GSM rooting process but it may be beneficial to load recovery through fastboot and do everything from there to make sure your writing everything where it should be.
