Uhoh...Need Help Please :) Fresh .5.3 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I completed step 2 of root today and decided to flash Fresh .5.3
Wiped data, but forgot to wipe SD card. Began to boot loop so I read that I would need to partition the SD card. I tried to Flash back to Fresh .2 in order to backup my SD card and began to boot loop there too.
So I go into recovery and partition (0,0)
I'm still boot looping Fresh .2 and I can't flash anything else (read: my backup) because I wiped the SD card.
Help would be greatly appreciated

SD card shouldnt do anything, wipe data and cache in recovory and then reflash .5.3, i had a bootloop and as soon as i turned it on i rooted and flashed .5.3, wiped data and cache and worked like a charm.

sd card
Sounds like its most likely your SD card. Backup everything off it onto computer, then format it, get rid of all partitions for eg. App2sd just to be safe, then put update file on SD card again, full phone wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and you should be ok. Mess about with app2sd once your bit more experienced.

Are you new to flashing custom roms? the first boot can take a while fyi
do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before you flash the 3.3 rom
it must be that you didnt flash it properly, the 3.3 rom boots without problems on the hero
wipe/factory reset
wipe dalvik
wipe/factory rest
off
boot recovery
flash
reboot
setup
reboot
done!

Nope... I'm not new to flashing ROM. Almost flash to the level where I need to in an Anonymous Flash-oholics group.
I did do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before I flashed the 3.3 rom.
I also re-flashed, tryed wipeing before and after, wiped the dalvik cache before and after...
The reason I do not have a ext part on my SD is, that I do not install so many applications, that I run out of space. And the speed of the internal mem is alot faster.
For keeping my apps between flashs, I find titanium back to be the best solution.
Is a ext part need to run the 3.3? I ran almost all the other villain rom version, without a ext part.

Hey,
I also have problems installing 3.3 ROM. I have a running 3.2 VillainROM but 3.3 will just not install! I did factory/ rest wipe + Davlik wipe but stuck @ bootscreen again! I do have a ext3 (or 2) partition which I did not flash, but the installing of 3.2 worked fine so I guess its a problem with 3.3...

Help, phone in constant boot loop

I've followed this guide on this forum to get a2sd:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
And I have the Modaco mod, and I know it said there was a chance it could go wrong.
But I tried nandroid restore and it didn't work, now I'm still in a boot loop, what should I do
Trying to do this now:
Run a2sd remove to reset everything back...that will fix the bootloop by setting everything back to internal storage.
Hope it works
Didn't work.

I used rommanager to partition my sd card.
And the a2sd remove command didn't work, still in loop
Also, did you flash a MCR custom rom that already includes Apps2SD? if you did, then all you needed to do was partition your SD card while still in Recovery Mode. You only need to install Apps2SD separately if the rom you want to flash does not have Apps2SD incorporated into the rom.
If you have a rom with Apps2SD already installed, then in Recovery Mode, perform a full wipe, flash the rom, partition your SD card, and then convert ext2 to ext3. All steps should be perfomed while still in Recovery Mode and before you reboot your device.

The rom doesn't contain apps2sd.
And with a full whipe, do you mean a factory reset?

Yep, try going back into Recovery Mode menu and select Wipe > Wipe Data/Factory Reset using the optical trackpad. If you still get stuck, then I would suggest that you follow this guide:
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
It is very easy to follow and explains how to install Apps2SD separately. Try flashing the rom file (rootedupdate.zip) it mentions because you would otherwise be stuck in bootloop if you re-flashed your MCR rom having no way to load the Sense UI again and place the r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip onto your SD Card (unless you maybe downloaded it using ROM Manager or had another smartphone available where you could take out your sd card, insert it into the other phone, mount it, and place the downloaded r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip onto your sd card, then re-insert it back into your phone to flash)
Just remember to perform a full wipe in Recovery Mode menu (Wipe > Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe > Wipe cache, Wipe > Wipe Dalvik-cache). Then re-flash the rom and follow the guide to install Apps2SD.
Sorry to answer this late, I was away for the weekend.
It's a nice guide, but I don't have those files on my sd card, and I don't have an sd card adaptor.
I don't want to send my phone in
Try wiping everything (data, ext and dalvik-cache) and either try your nandroid backup again or reflash the rom.

I always tried the factory wipe and cache clear from my custom recovery but that didn't work.
Then I did a factory wipe and cache clear from my standard recovery and he started up again
I think everybody was telling me to do this, but I always did it in custom recovery.
Thanks a lot for the help tkirton and MasDroid!!

uh oh, I borked something......anyone know how to fix?

I was messing with a file cleaning app, an invasive one apparently, and after downloading the latest version of clean rom, I went into CWM to flash it. After doing the usual wiping, data, cache, etc, when I went to "choose zip from sd card" CWM told me it can't mount the external sd card so I had no access to the new rom I needed to flash and when I tried to reboot the phone got stuck at the boot logo. I had to boot back into CWM and restore a nandroid backup I had but even now when I boot back into CWM it is telling me that I still can't mount the ext sd card. Anyone have any idea what I may have done or how to fix it?
***EDIT*** I think I may have it figured out. I reflashed Clockworkmod and it seems to be working fine now.

Corrupted internal SD card / can't access OS (CM 12)

So I installed an update to CM 12 and rebooted without wiping any cache(s) etc. The phone was stuck in the CM boot animation loop for hours - this has happened before and I was able to rectify the problem with the below process - so I decided to boot into CWM recovery and clear Dalvik cache and perform a cache partition wipe. Before, this has sorted the initial problem but this time I was again stuck at the CM boot animation after rebooting.
I booted into recovery again and tried to access my interal storage to locate a CM zip but couldn't access the partition. I kept getting an "E: Can't mount SD card" error when I tried anything that involved accessing the internal SD card/
I rebooted and entered recovery again and decided to perform a "wipe data/factory reset" after deciding that I wanted to go back to stock Android. However, the internal storage wouldn't format because it wasn't mountable.
Now when i reboot I'm stuck on the white HTC screen with "this build is for development purposes only..." at the bottom - I can't even get into fastboot!
I really want to restore and flash stock Android. How can I format the internal SD card and flash stock ROM?

i9195 / TWRP : cannot restore stock ROM backup

Hi all.
I backed up my i9195 stock ROM with TWRP (3.0.2 I believe) before installing CM13.
I wanted to go back to stock to restore some unsaved apps data, but was not able to restore the backup.
During first boot, after unlocking the SIM card I had hundreds of prompts saying "app xxx has stopped" (for all the apps on the phone I believe).
So I wiped Dalvik and cache, but after optimizing apps the phone got stuck on "starting apps" during boot. No way to go past this step.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks !
You should wipe daevil cache and cache before restoring data. And it might also help if In twrp file manager you rename andriod folder in sd card(phone memory) and external card (memory card).
Then do factory reset and wipe then restore.
OK thanks for the tip about the android folder (I did all the wipes I could do). Maybe I should try to reboot without SD card first?
