I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong thread, I didn't know where else to put it. So I just got a new EVO 4G and like my last I was looking into rooting it. So I looked up some newer methods.
I decided to to with the tacoroot method, if you sent familiar with it it can be easily found on google, anyways. I was going through the process and was almost done with the last final steps when all of a sudden my phone just went strait to the Sprint logo screen and keept looping on the same screen over and over. I figured I could just pull the battery and start over again, this was not the case.
When I attemted to reboot, same thing occured. So I had no choice but to wipe cache in stock recovery and wipe all data.
After the wipe I was relieved that the phone booted back up but there were severe issues with the phone for example:
The phone will no longer show the connect to pc notification when connected via USB, will only charge if plugged in then rebooted or off and charging, charges as if it is connected via USB even when charging via ac charger, will no longer recognize the SD card, seems like the internet connection is significantly slower all the time, significantly worse on battery life (full battery +surf web for 20 minutes = half dead battery). And other minor issues I can't think of but those are the worst.
So my question is has anyone ever heard or experienced anything like this and can anyone offer any input as to what I should do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any details you would like to know I will try to answer to the best if my knowledge.
