I've got a huge problem with my desire!
this morning it suddenly stopped working!
My pcs don't find the ppc (in recovery mode) when i'm into the prompt (i've windows xp) and the recovery-windows.bat doesn't work.
So i decided to use the clockworkmod, i done a wiping of the data, and a cache + dalvik cache wipe, i flashed some different roms followed by the latest radio.
The ppc is now stopped in the white screen with htc logo from half hour and doesn't work yet.
anybody has some suggests?
i decide to restore a nand backup maded with rom manager (with the nextsense6 ) but i've the same problem.. the desire doesn't work yet!!!
What can i do?
i also tryed doing a full wipe and switching on without the sdcard, but nothing new..
nobody could help me?
I had a similiar problem on monday, after flashing and restoring a backup, my device was stuck on the white HTC boot screen.
I found out that I couldn't mount sd-ext in clockworkmod recovery, so I mounted the device via usb on my computer, put the AM Desire Recovery fake-flash ({this forum here}/showthread.php?t=689778) on my sd-card and booted that.
There's an option to fix the sd-ext, I executed that, then went back to clockworkmod recovery and tried to mount sd-ext, which worked, so I went on from there as usual.
hope this helps...
If this doesn't work, try to re-flash the radio (and not the latest one, some people have reported problems with this one).
ok, i think i bricked my desire...
i just got it, used to be a captivate user. i had just flashed this rom earlier and was liking it, except for one lil mms problem. i decide to try another rom (RCSTouch) so i put that rom on my sdcard and booted to clockwork. i wiped data and cache and stuff. i then selected to install the rom and i get this error "cant open file (bad) Installed aborted."
maybe the file was corrupted? well i tried rebooting my phone lotsa times and it just fires up vibrates once and stays stuck at the HTC screen. I have to pop the battery to turn it off.
what can i do here?
Boot in to recovery, go to mounts, mount the sd as mass storage, copy a non corupted rom to the sd, dismount and flash your new rom.

Always nandroid before making any major changes in recovery, that way if anything goes wrong, you can just restore your previous rom. It seems like you did not do this, and thus your phone is not booting up because you wiped it. That being said, follow Ghost's advice as it does seem like a bad file.
help, stuck in bootloader/recovery

stock 2.2 3.29 rooted w/unrevolked.
any help is appreciated.
So I was looking into roms and I downloaded ROM manager 3.0.1.1. Thats when my trouble started. I did a back up with the rom manager and it wiped my old nandroid back ups and I was stuck in bootloader/recovery and couldn't restore my back up. I do an nandroid back up about once a month and they were all gone. I did back up my sd card in december and I had an old back up on it and I flashed it and it worked.
Tonight I tired to flash an older version of clockwork (like I had before) and I'm stuck at the bootloader/recovery again. I tried to restore an old nandroid and nothing seems to work.
I'm open to suggestions.
Should I try to flash a new rom and start over ?
any way to get my old customized rom back ? (I have the clockwork back ups)
thanks
are you able to boot a rom at all?
I haven't tried a different rom, but I cannot boot my current or older.
It can't load PM36IMG.zip, I tried loading one onto my card but it just aborts the installation. Is there a more current or older one one I need ?
that might be a problem. you sayed you were trying to put a PM36IMG.ZIP on but you need a PC36IMG.ZIP i believe if your on an evo. use amon-ra and and flash a new rom and see if it works. copy and paste this link into your url and it will start a download for amon-ra recovery. hope this works
http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
also don't try to flash a clockwork nandroid backup with amon-ra or vise versa. it will mess up your phone from what ive heard
I wonder if it does not like your sd. I am thinking try a different sd or see if you can format yours.
I also do not like ROM managers. They always seem to want an upgrade and then when you do the upgrade your old backups may or may not be compatible any more. To get your old file back you would probably have to run an unerase or some type of debug program on the sd card. erased files are not really erased they just have an F5 in front of them to tell the computer that the space is availible. If you have a backup on your compter or old SD I think you should be able to that.
I did check for errors on my SD card, nothing bad there.
I put a PC36IMG.zip on my SD and when I try to install the zip from my sd it says operation aborted.
I think my entire problem is the fact that I have clockworkMod recovery v3.0.0.5. I've read (after) that anything after 2.6 is not going to play nice with my evo.
I tried downloading a stock rooted rom and I cannot flash it. Anytime I boot the phone it stays on the HTC EVO white screen, I can hold down the - and power and I can go into HBOOT/fastboot/bootloader/recovery, then it cannot find the PC36DIAG.zip, and PC36ING, and a few others.
I really appreciate the help, keep it coming
edit: I'll try pulling everything off my card and formatting it...
card is fine.
I loaded a older clockwork recovery then tried to flash a different rom...
it started opening, installing, formatting, deleting, copying, then...
E: can't symlink/system/xbin/su
E:failure at line 76:
synlink/system/bin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su
installation aborted.
and when I restore a previous nand backup it appears to work then when I reboot the screen looks scrambled and freezes.
I'm tired
I'm starting to think a hard reset and starting over might be my only way out.
Your system can not root since it can not find /system/xbin/su su is not in bin
ln -T /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su would probably be the approach if you were running. Not sure if you could edit line 76 to change bin to xbin, copy a proper symbolic link or?
I looked in bin and there were many links to the tool box that appeared to be associated with error logging. With this in mind it seems to me that this link is part of the recovery/installation process.
I would try to correct the permissions.
I was able to do a hard reset and my phone booted up rooted still..so I restored my apps from Titanium Back up.
Right now I can shut my phone off, restart it, no problem. If I go into recovery, problem.
I need to get rid of clockwork asap, I've read about Amon_ra's recovery but I don't think I have enough knowledge yet on how to install. I've tried installing from a zip but I'm just not doing it right. I can go into folders on my phone (root explorer), should I just delete clockwork anywhere I find it ? I just don't want to go blindly deleting files, that would be dumb.
I need recovery back...this is scary
suggestions ?
I have been into Android modding since My G1 from day ONE, I bricked a friends G1 and had to swap internal stuff and fixed it so I have never had a problem I could not solve till now, Like the guy above I cannot boot into my ROM. I have running Myn's Roms since his(their) first release with ZERO problems until RLS5. I started getting random reboots so like any other time when this happened with anyone elses ROM I did the Recovery, Wipe Dalvic Cache, Wipe Cache reboot and that was that, However today my Evo would not stop rebooting every 5-10 minutes so I wiped from scratch even my sd card was wiped, then reflashed Myn's RLS5 got it to boot once and after finishing SETUP it was on for like 2 maybe 3 minutes and again REBOOT!!! this time staying on the white screen, So I pulled the battery and went to recovery and wiped dalvic and cache rebooted and from then on It does not get past the white screen, I can still get into Fastboot and Recovery but it DOES NOT boot into the ROM, I am now Flashing MYN'S Z 2.2 and praying it boots. Do you guys think VIRUSES are now affecting OUR EVO's????
I just need to get rid of clockwork and I'm still stuck on that...
help ...
Attached is amon_ra 2.3 boot into the bootloader and apply update, reboot, boot into recovery and clockwork will be gone.

ok, I just want to be clear.
First, I'm sorry if I'm noobish
next, I'm gonna put that PC36IMG on my SD card (just anywhere on the card) then go into the bootloader, choose apply update, then boot into recovery, then done, correct ?
side note, I've read around that it should be put on the root of the card, I don't have a root folder on the card, but there is one in the internal system file (found it in root explorer).
just want to clarify before I loose everything again.
You are correct, and the "root" of the sdcard means to just be on the sdcard, not inside any folders. Also don't extract the zip file.
solved.
you sir, are my hero.
you have solved my problem, I'm speechless and so freakin excited right now.
I sincerely thank you and owe you.

Would this work for the Incredible as well? I have the same issue (tried to flash clockwork recover but can't get into it on the phone). Also cannot get into the ROM, so stuck at the boot screen and nearly every command brings me back to it...
Thanks
Recently, anytime I try to wipe data before a fresh install, I get this error:
Formating /sd-ext
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Running rooted with Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.1.0.1 (purple)
This error happens regardless of any ROM I'm running or even wanting to flash.
On a smaller note, when I use Recovery to "mount /sd-ext", I get "Error mounting /sd-ext!".
What would be wrong and how do I go about to fix it? Thanks.

Bump. Anyone know? I did a bit of searching when I got home and one article said that it's not really needed. However, it also said there's a way to fix it; by renaming or deleting a certain file/folder, and I can't find that solution again. Any suggestions?
Dont worry about the error. it's literally nothing for you to worry about =)
I just wrote this whole long post about this, and it does not appear in the list??? I dont know why. So I will try again, and hope it appears because I really need HELP
I have a Galaxy note 10.1 2014, rooted, 16 gb wifi, on kitkat.
I have been having some wonky issues and lags, so wanted to try to refresh it.
Went into TWRP recovery and first did a backup, but forgot to choose extSD and it did the bu on my internal, I had to find how to delete that, then did a back up to my card, seemed to go ok
Went back into recovery and, someone on android central suggested first try to wipe cache, I did that, seemed to go ok, but when rebooted, it comes to the blue circle around the samsung logo, then the music cuts out, and the word SAMSUNG just hangs.
Went back into TWRP recovery, see in the log:
Updating partition data
E: unable to mount "/cache'
E: unable to mount "/cache'
Full SELinus support present
E: unable to mount "/cache
E: unable to mount "/cache
GRRRR
tried to restore my bu, but it did not see it on my extSD card, any idea why?
ok, so next attempt, Factory reset from TWRP recovery,
It appears to start the process, but a few minutes into it, just reboots, to the same as I had before
I LOVE this tablet and feel really desparate that its so messed up., Is there ANY hope out there?
I really hope this actually posts...
