I messed something up when I tried to root my Evo. Not only was I not able to root it, but now it won't charge when the power is on. It will charge if I turn the power off, but when I turn it on it stops. I think it has something to do with the mtd-eng.img file. I also can't run any ADB commands because it doesn't see the Evo. I've tried all I can think of and I'm stuck .
Does anyone have any ideas?

did you make a back up and if so can you boot into recovery to install it?
Try a different cable and or computer.
answer
I tried to use a different computer/cable but that didn't work.
No I didn't do a backup (I'm an idiot). However is it possible to use a different phones backup?
Thanks for the replies,
Lance
I had returned mine because I could not get it to read my evo also.

Hey guys,
I've been noticing something unusual with my tablet. The stock hard-reset recovery(as well as CWM) only works with USB plugged in. When it is not plugged on the computer, it hangs on the black screen with the Google logo(when it is oem locked, there's a lock on the bottom). I am also a Galaxy S2 user so I know that I didn't need the USB plugged in, in order to enter the recovery mode.
Is this normal for the N7 tablet? or is there something wrong with it?
Thank you

I have the same issue, and I always thought it was just me. Going to try a different recovery when I'm back home.

Yeah it's weird. Even after coming back to stock, unrooted, the hard-reset via stock recovery doesn't work unless USB is plugged in. Maybe some files are missing
Wow, I'm glad I stumbled on this thread, I was going nuts trying to figure out why I couldn't boot back into CWM after going back to the stock image and applying the OTA .zips.
Confirmed, I can get it to boot into CWM from fastboot only if I have the USB cable plugged in. Otherwise it just hangs on the Google splash screen.
Weird.
I've been able to boot into recovery using the app "quickboot" which had an option to reboot into recovery. My usb cable isn't plugged in.

This sounds a bit like my Nexus S i9020. It will only go into bootloader without the usb, and only go into download mode with USB attached (although it doesn't have to be powering it). This is the same on both handsets I've used. Maybe not a 'flaw' and more a nod to using fast boot/adb?

I am currently having the same problem. Did anybody come up with a fix for this?
I'm having the same issue with the nexus 7. I've found out that you can boot into recovery if you have ROM Manager installed and select reboot into recovery.
Does anyone know if this is an OS issue or recovery issue?
Interesting. Was wondering why I couldn't get into Recovery from the Bootloader.
Another bug for me is that if I boot into Bootloader with the USB connected, I cannot make any selection using the volume keys. Only works if I boot in first without USB connected, then connect once I'm booted.
Its a bug, guys learn to search in the Development threads, I'm sure its being worked on,personally I've been able to get into recovery without have to connect via USB, if all else fails you can enter recovery via USB and ADB, by issuing the command adb reboot recovery in terminal/cmd
I had the same issue last week. Not sure what changed but now I'm able to get into recovery using the reboot menu or good mngr/rom mgr. No need for usb. I'm on modaco rom and used both clockwork and twrp.

I have one more problem...
When I connect USB, the keys don't work in bootloader so can't try recovery with USB cable on.
Any solution for this?

There are two different versions of CWM- one uses the power and vol-up/down buttons for keys- the other used the tablets touchscreen for button press functions.
You may have installed the touch(screen) version of CWM- try using the touchscreen for controls.
Same issue here. I can get to recover either connected or via rom manager.

I too can get into recovery via ROM Manager. I read somewhere that pulling the battery might help. I know that's a bit of a pain on the Nexus 7, but I'm going to try that when I get home later to see if that helps.

Nope, disconnecting the battery didn't change anything. Wug Fresh (Nexus Root Toolkit developer) informed me on Google + that it's a Google issue and it should be fixed in a future update. For now i'll be either plugging in USB to computer or ROM Manager.

Hello from south korea
I have a twrp 2.6.3.0 installed d802 G2 and I accidently wiped my internal sd card so my device only boot to twrp not OS.
I tried to mount but I can only find exclamation mark on device manager which means I cannot use adb, fastboot, adb sideload, flash recovery what so ever..
I've been searching xda forum for about 10 hours and still get no results. I formatted, wiped, factory resetted, tried to install superSU(but won't work)
I think i've tried basically everything I can try.
Any suggestions? please help.

pushed volume up button and plugged usb -> boot to twrp

This is not a solution. Even if he downloads the ROM, how is he going to transfer it to the phone when TWRP can't mount as USB storage?

Buy a usb otg cable and use a thumbdrive or better, get a microusb thumbdrive like this one:

Perhaps by connecting the cable mentioned above would allow you to get into download mode and then heading in this direction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370

Do you have the UTG cable connected? Have you tried connecting it at different points of the process?
(Just throwing out ideas here....)
You could try PMing jkang (the OP) to ask him specifically what he did.

what's the difference between UTG & OTG Cable? if these are the same , yes, I test my OTG Cable on another device [SAMSUNG Note 2] and it's work...
I had the same problem over the weekend. I wiped my entire phone from twrp, and the usb mass storage from the otg cable was not working for any of my usb sticks. I had no way to put files onto my computer.
But, then I used twrp's android adb sideload and managed to get clearn rom xe 1.1 onto my device. Then I used twrp to install the clean rom onto my device.
Took me like 6 hours to fix it. Adb sideload might be a good option for you.
I'm in the same boat.
USB OTG doesn't connect though, I chose install in TWRP, but I don't see my USB drive.

Will you please point to the source of your TWRP which can support OTG.

I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.
what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.
Why don't you manually install drivers from online?

ive tried that already and it doesnt list anything from the LG folder.
I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.
Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.
I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

Do you remove it safely from your machine each time?
Are you on a custom rom? What one?
What version of the Rom you are currently on?
Could be an issue with the Rom you are on... could be a hardware issue. Without more info, it's real hard to help you mate.
I'm on the I think its qd2 v15 version of the 935u ROM and yes i know how to uninstall and reinstall drivers as well it just started happening Monday morning was working fine the night before i might use the warranty to get a new one was just trying to see if there was any info before losing root possibly till I get a replacement
