Root Phone does not recognize SD card or pc

Newbie
I recently tried to root my phone, some things went wrong and my phone ended up seemingly back at the factory resets. After this there are some charging problems and now when I turn on my phone it says "SD card removed" I have tried putting a new SD card in and it says the same thing.

I wiped everything off the SD card and did a clear storage on the phone but it did not work.

Also my phone is not recognized when plugged into a PC.

Any help would be great. Thanks
 
now when you say somethings went wrong, what do you mean? do you have s-off? what is your hboot? do you have a custom recovery?

try formatting the card from your phone.
 
I rooted it and everything worked fine. I went back into the boot screen and went into clockwork mod and did a recovery, ever since then its been all messed up
 
ok i would like to reroot my phone from the start. Since my computer does not recognize my phone is there a way i can root from my sd card?

Do you know how to get to recovery? Power off your phone, then hold volume down+power til the white hboot screen comes up. Wait for it to finish scanning for a PC36IMG file(if it finds one, tell it not to update). Select recovery, select wipe and wipe davlik-cache and then wipe cache. reboot the phone and see if it helps.
 
ok i tried that but it didnt work. I click on recovery, it tries to reboot then a black screen comes up with a picture of a phone and a red triangle with a ! in the middle
 
ok so do you have s-off or s-on? what hboot do you have? to find those answers, power off your phone then press and hold power+vol down.this will get you to the hboot screen. what does the white screen say?

if you have s-off then you are ok looks like you have a broken recovery.
 
I had a similar situation in my early rooting days. You didn't mention if you flashed anything, but something during your process is causing instability. I fully agree with ocnbrze, although CWM sounds easy, you should learn amon and the process of manually flashing everything. I fixed my problem by putting my SD in my wife's EVO (that should get some comments...). My PC would then recognize it. I placed a freshly downloaded ROM (MYNs 2.2 at the time) on my SD card while still in her phone. I replaced the card to my phone, rebooted into recovery, and flashed the new ROM. I was good to go. The great Akazabam said that the same process could probably have been achieved with a card reader if another EVO wasn't available. Give it a shot and reply if you need additional help.
 
At the top of the white screen it says

Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-2.10.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-1.39.00.04.26

Since my phone is not recognized by my computer and my sd card is not recognized by my phone is there still a way to root my phone?

If you can't get your pc to recognize your phone then I don't think it is possible. You can try and run the RUU through hboot to see if it restores communication.

Interesting Hboot info though.....you have hboot 2.10 but have a very old radio version on it.

not sure what that means..haha im really new to rooting and obviously not very good at it
 
try and install htc sync and uninstall it. it should leave behind the htc drivers. try that and see if your pc will see your phone. also have usb debugging on.

Go to the Rooting for Dummies Guide and look in the After Rooting section for unroot. Download the PC36IMG file for hboot 2.10, rename it only PC36IMG and put it on the root of your sdcard. Reboot your phone to hboot and it should find the file. Tell it to update and let it run. Reboot the phone and see if you can get communication between your phone and pc.
 
I installed HTC sync and uninstalled and it still does not see the phone.
If its any help-my phone only charges some times, like right now its plugged in but the charging light is not on.

Got anymore ideas?
