Root HTC Evo 4G 0 MB storage.

I will wait till Wednesday to get another micro SD card. My phone wouldn't mount the working on I had Not sure how I will fix my phone. Now recovery is gone somehow. I installed Windows 8.1 on PC. It won't even notice phone.
 
Don't panic.

Don't try fastboot flash zip again.

Flash recovery from Ubuntu -

Put recovery into the sdk-tools folder, go there and -

sudo ./fastboot-linux flash recovery (file name)

Avoid using USB 3 ports.
 
I don't know how to open the Adb tools on Ubuntu. I downloaded the files, but can't open them right. What program do I use?
 
You downloaded the Mini-SDK zip file using Firefox?

If so, open a terminal window by control-alt-t and then -

cd Downloads
unzip *.zip
(Verify you have an sdk-tools directory by saying, with little Ls and mind the space)
ls -lFa
(stop and post back if you don't see sdk-tools, otherwise if you do...)
cd sdk-tools

Move the recovery file to that folder using the file browser, then

sudo ./fastboot-linux flash recovery name-of-recovery-file

If trouble, copy and paste screen to here.
 
I will try tomorrow. Lost files I did full Ubuntu install. Have to get files downloaded again. Thank you. Let you know tomorrow afternoon.Good night.
 
I was tired last night. Had to install Windows 8.1 again and Ubuntu on same drive. Here is what happens when I try your command.
enigma@enigma-Aspire-M3470G:~$ sudo ./fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery-ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-reloaded2.img
sudo: ./fastboot-linux: command not found
enigma@enigma-Aspire-M3470G:~$. Not sure at to do.
 
There is no option to install Mini SDK tools. Just shows files. It never shows it under list either. Terminal only shows my computer.

You're skipping steps.

Let's review -

Did you start with Firefox?
 
enigma@enigma-Aspire-M3470G:~$ sudo ./fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery-ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-reloaded2.img
[sudo] password for enigma:
sudo: ./fastboot-linux: command not found
 
You're skipping steps.

Instructions have to be followed in the order listed ok.

If you followed different instructions from those I've listed here, then you have to tell me what you did, exactly.

The Mini-SDK that I directed you to -

http://androidforums.com/threads/adb-guide-updated-2014-11-11.443072/#post-5389081

Is most certainly for all three major platforms. :)

It's the zip file attachment at the end of the second post of that thread.

Just to ensure that I'm not crazy, I just downloaded it myself and the Linux tools are in there.

Along with the Linux installer script.

That I didn't recommend in your case.

Giving me the output of just the last command run doesn't work.

I have to see your exact steps to understand how you're lost.

So far as I can tell from what you've posted, you haven't gotten the package I directed you to, you didn't stop and give me the ls output like I asked in the instructions I've posted twice and you're firing commands at random.

Hundreds of people have gotten through this same sort of problem by following the instructions, exactly.

I'll check back in a few hours, that's the best I can do.
