Ubuntu, and I have a whole guide for this that I'll have to track down for you.

But first - there's one more thing that you can try. And it sounds crazy, I know.

Phone disconnected, turn it off, plug in to usb and say -

adb reboot

If it turns on, it's not your drivers.

If you go with the 32 bit version, you don't need to install the libraries mentioned in the Mini-SDK thread.

Here's information I've given others -

Make a live whatever of ubuntu, all directions here -

You want rev 12.04 LTS, also linked above.


Booting is not fast. Even when it looks up, give a few minutes.

The only snag people seem to hit sometimes is getting networking up so give it a test run, and if it causes trouble, it's still fixable. (I understand the newer Windows will shut down the NIC before shutdown and you many have to go into device manager to stop that - again, we have a thread on that, I'm not a Windows guy.) Reasonable to expect that you'll get a driver pop-up and then a lan card icon in your upper right. Tap that to config your wifi drivers if it comes up. At that point, I prefer to tap the empty wifi icon and uncheck wifi, give it half a minute and then repeat to check it back on. That seems to scan more quickly for networks in my case.

If network problems persist, see -http://androidforums.com/computers/646562-ethernet-problems-in-ubuntu-12-04-a.html

If you email yourself our Mini-SDK zip file, or a link to it, you can go right to your Gmail in Firefox.

Anything you get will go to your downloads folder.

Open a command window with control-all-t and go to your download from your home directory -

cd Downloads

unzip *.zip

Go to the sdk-tools directory and

sudo ./adb-linux devices
 
No SD card I have that messed up is Toshiba 8 GB. MY PC won't even recognize it. MY Computer is 64 bit. Doubt I can use 32 bit. I have AMD 64
 
Going to try it. Thank you very much for all your help. Let you know if something works out. What rom for my phone would you suggest? I want both cameras to work if possible. I got phone on straight talk. However uses Sprint towers still. That is before I messed it up.
 
THE SD formatter program not pulling up my Micro SD card either. The PC has light light when I insert it. However never shows up as a drive,etc.
 
Keep us posted on everything you try.

And no worries - I got my Evo on launch day + 2, and you're among friends.

One of the best danged phones ever made.

If we can help, we will!
 
Thank you. I want to keep y phone. Just didn't like Gingerbread because I couldn't use iradionow or geico apps, etc. Any good full working roms? That is if I save my phone.
 
sounds like you fried your micro card buy a new one.sandisk 32 gigs are cheap i got one for 30 bucks

also has anyone thought to make some backups of a working stock for whatever recovery hes using.i fixed someone with a corrupt htc one sv that had this similar issue that way.thing is you need to have some card working to have the backup files on to restore.just a thought.or since he has custom recovery he can just use a custom rom to install but again he needs to get a valid rom onto his card.also in bootloader have you tried the clear storage option?just a suggestion.i dont have this phone,but that should be a general fix for most phones
 
Yeah. The Evo 4G is four and a half years old, two and a half years older than your One SV. The original Snapdragon big screen phone. 1 GB internal storage, not 8, and a different sd card setup than you're used to. And the OP has already said he can't afford a new sd card right now.

Very much appreciate your willingness to help, those are good ideas, I think we're pretty much clear on how to fix this one. ;) :)
