Default Evo 4g Bricked USB

It starts to read the pc36img but then goes to the main page. doesnt let me choose to update or not. Im stuck at 1.47. I bricked it last night and lost sd card and usb. I got the sd card working but not the usb. It need me to use terminal and issue su command but permission denied. I made the mistake of going back to stock and updating to the newest ota. I was thinking the ota update would fix my sd card but it didnt. I have clockworks mod but it wont work since im not rooted. I can only charge when the phones off and cant use the usb cable to connect to the computer and view files and use adb. I can get into the phone via fastboot but nothing else. My computer does beep when I plug it in but nothing else.

Thanks

My Hboot is 0.79.0000
radio-2.05.00.06.10
1.47.651.1

Not being able to charge has to be the worst thing.

What OS are you using? I assume windows? Did you install the fastboot drivers? You can push files. But you can also download them via the phone. I would try downgrading the rom then downloading unrevoked 2

I can download files fine and put them on my sd card. I got that working. Im using windows 7 and I have the drivers. I dont know what or how to get it to work. How do I downgrade from the unrooted 1.47 stock rom. I cant get it to update with the pc36img or get the clockworks to open the update.zip. I cant even charge the phone when its on.

Heres the usb fix instructions but i cant root the device so i cant get it to work.
Fix USB

Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
Make sure in device manager the driver is installed(Win 7 x64 downloaded them automatically)
Open command prompt like you would to use ADB and type

fastboot oem boot

It will give you a log, look for the line that says INFOCID is SPCS_001, if it says something different, then use the generator below to create one(or hex edit the one I posted)

Download the mtd0.img attached or use this CID generator made by stevebrush over @ Modaco to create a custom one

Download the flash_image attached

Unzip both zips and copy both files to the SD card

Open a terminal emulator(I used ConnectBot) and type

su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img
chmod 755 /data/flash_image or chmod u+x /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img
reboot


Cant get su access so cant apply the fix. This sucks

ok so when you connect the phone to the computer in Fastboot does windows see it and load the proper driver? You can push files if I am correct via fastboot Maybe you can run the root?

Hook the phone up put it in fastboot usb then look at device manager under android phone

Yes fastboot as been working. Was able to apply the sd fix that way. But I dont know how to fix the usb problem via fastboot. It wonts me to run commands in terminal and i dont have permission.

If I had adb I think i can install the usb fix but cant access the phone via adb. When i plug in phone (turned on) its makes a noice on the computer but cant do adb.

OIC I'm sorry I did not realize that. I"m sure someone will be able to chime in. Have you tried running the official RUU while its in fastboot? Or have you tried Hboot USB?

tried the official RUU that i ran in the first place but i get a 104 error. version error or something. I put it in Hboot Usb but adb said it couldnt find the device. Not sure if i did it right tho. If i try to run the rooted pc36img files I get a error saying Main Version is older.

Heres some details

My Hboot is 0.79.0000
radio-2.05.00.06.10
1.47.651.1

ok download this file and run it in fastboot

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VLNPQWL1



After reboot you should have ROOT

Then either download this or try running adb and if you can then I would download simpleroot1 and let it do its job

But here is the eng.pc3 that should work with the main version error
This one SECOND rename it to just delete the eng-

ive been trying to get the pc36img file to work. I put it on sd card. then turn off device and turn it back on by pressing the down volume button. it trys to load it and then it either does nothing or gives me the main version is older error. Is this one different. I believe im doing it right. Done it many times before. I just got this phone, had the evo but had to get a replacement. power port broke inside of phone.My luck
