Help! Blank SD Card?!?!

---

Can anyone tell me what happened? I was in the process of rooting the phone and got through toasts root instructions. Then once the phone booted again, I tried rebooting into Recovery mode and was left only with the "!" sign over the phone with no recovery options.

I had to take the battery out to get the phone to reboot. Once the phone started up I tried rebooting again into recovery mode with the same results. Once I rebooted again I got a message in the notifications saying "blank SD card SD card blank or has unsupported file system" And now it wants me to reformat.

Is there anyway to recover my SD card? I really don't want to loose my backup. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks ahead!

you didnt run the .bat file included in the evorecovery folder you downloaded. You did download that file right?

I did, and it booted into recovery mode that time. Is that how you have to boot into recovery mode every time? With the phone plugged into the computer? and loading it through CMD?

Yup for right now..there is a topic to use Rom manager now though.

Ugh, I wish I would have paid more attention to detail. Any suggestions to getting my SD card recovered? Or am I SOL and I should just format it?

more info. What point in Toast Root did you get this !
Also, like above, did you download the EvoRecovery zip and extract it to your desktop? and follow all instructions?

Also, if possible, always make a backup of your sdcard to your computer before doing any of these things.

However, If you did everything correctly, and it is still doing this....
I think you still could get to your SDCard, if there is anything on your SDCard, (unless it is the EVO SDCard issue)... If you can get to your sdcard thru usb or by taking it out AFTER turning off phone. You could either make your Backup of the card, or put your Backup back on your Card and start over.

I got through all of Toasts Root before this happened. It happened when I was trying to boot back into recovery mode to flash the new ROM and Radio.

Fortunately I just found my Micro SD card reader and everything is still there. I'm now copying it to my HD. So all is well.



I guess now I'll just reformat the card so the evo can read it, load everything back on to the sd card and go into recovery mode with the phone plugged into the computer using the CMD. Hopefully everything will work out.

EDIT: WTF, now the SD card reads fine after putting it back in the phone. So weird. I guess now I'll just try recovery mode, Flash, then restore my back up.

yeah you should be fine. and yeah for now i'd just use the adb reboot recovery command then run the .bak file to get into custom recovery. once you get everything up and running you can work on getting the update.zip custom recovery method going which the link is posted below. Will save you from having to hook up to the computer to get into recovery.

Okay all is well. I'm now rooted with flipz .6 and the point .05 radio. That was kind of scary there for a second.

Don't let it scare you too much. It's very hard to brick your phone unless you're flashing radios that you should not be. As long as your loading evo roms you'll be fine
