rooting and s-off has nothing to do with any files on your sd card, so this isnt a problem

the sd card isnt mounted until 60 - 90 seconds after device boots, so no important files relating to android are stored on the sd card

[Q] Clorkworkmod cant find sd. Is it bricked?

Hi. I was loading a rom in recovery and first wiped system and data. when I went install the new rom I got the error "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (no such device)". In other words, I have wiped the old and it cant find the new rom.
Previously I rooted by UnRevoked so I have not previously set up android sdk.
Am I screwed
Thanks
Have you tried a different SD card or the CD card in another PC?
Could be a faulty sd, or if not maybe try cleaning the contacts on the card and phone?
the card seems ok. It can be read via USB from recovery.
Is there any way I can set up a terminal connection and flash a rom from my computer?
I'm having the exact same issue with r6. The SD just won't mount even in recovery. When this happens there is literally nothing else to do, we need a solution!!!
Sorry to hear it Doogle. Im out of ideas too
Pretty lucky to not be the only one tho
Just so you know, mine is definitely USB bricked, but the SD thing is stopping me from being able to fix this.
It's quite unusual.
Any idea if its possible to set up a terminal?
or does usb bricked mean your comp cant see the phone?
I set up a thread earlier to find that out. No replies
Yeah when the phone is USB bricked the PC just can't detect it,
so it's impossible to flash RUUs, so I'm up against the wall unless
I can get this working
When Clockworkmod didn't find my SD, but card reader showed it ok, I used SDFormater to reformat card (remowed all partitions) and when formated in recovery.

Have you tried reformatting your SD mate? The chance of that fixing it isn't high but it's worth a shot...I'm reformatting at the mo

Basically, the SD card is not mounting (if it's the same as me), so regardless of what .zips might be on it, it can't flash them...

You're not using quick format option are you?
Because a proper full format is much more effective,
and takes a while to complete.
i am now waiting for sdformatter to do its magic. I hope it it learnt to format at Hogwarts!
nope. It still cant mount it

[Q] Need help loading new splash screen.

Hey guys and gals,
I need some help, I have s-off/root using unrevoked forever ... droid incredible 2.2 ... I have tried to load several different splash screens and when I go into HBOOT, it never gives me the option ... I have named the files PB31IMG.zip (have tried the one they offer with unrevoked and numerous others) and placed them in the root of my SD card ... by all accounts this should do the trick, but when I go into HBOOT it never says anything about loading a new splash ... nor does it ask me any questions, it scans for several files and always says "Image not found" and goes back to the main HBOOT menu .... any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Is your SD Card formatted in Fat32? you might want to move everything off your SD card to your PC then format the card thru the PC in Fat32 then move everything back to the card.

Thanks for your response
How would I know file system it's formatted to? It is the same card I used to do the unrevoked forever, would that require the FAT32 file system? How can I format the SDcard after clearing everything off of it?
Make sure it is .zip and not .zip.zip
Go to properties and check the details on the PB31IMG file, usually if there is no .zip, its already there. Adding the .zip just makes it doubled.

Thank you for that suggestion ... I tried it a few times before changing the name myself, it should have been in correct name off of the Unrevoked website .... upon checking I HAD INDEED changed it to .zip.zip .... changed it back and formatting SD card to FAT32 now ... will let you guys know if this fixes problems ...
Thanks again

Storage is missing!

How do I fix this? I've checked the lost.dir folder and it is empty. I am not using a rooted device if it matters.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Backup the files and format the disk then copy everything back.
As above. Its fixed in the latest 1.29.401.11 so either root and flash a rom on that base or have to suck it up until you get OTA im afraid!

you don't need to root to flash an RUU as long as you use the correct one depending on location/carrier
Copy files from SD card to your computer, Format the SD card in FAT32, copy items back onto SD card and done.
You shouldn't have to worry about it happening again.

If you want someone to help you need to give detailed list of what you did and what messages have been output.

Hack Kit does not mess sdcards, so yours should have been bad before, or maybe the contacts in the device are not ok. Have you tried formatting the sdcard?
That might happen if you improperly unmount it. Have you unmount it from the device, take it off and put it back, choosing to eject it from the menu?

That is really not a good attitude to have here.
Oops, thanked you; definitely on accident.
Format the card. If that doesn't work get a new one. Yours might be corrupted.

Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
I will persist...
So it sounds like you managed to root your phone successfully then using the Ace kit. Do you install a new custom ROM as well or just go back to your original one?
If the Hack kit worked your SD card should work fine as it turns it into a gold card. If the SD card was damaged it should have flagged it up during the Ace Hack kit installation.
Turn off you phone, take the SD card out and clean the contacts. Put it back in and restart the phone and see what happens?
If that doesnt work format your SD card or get a new one. They are pretty cheap these days.

sry i was kinda pissed off
anyways..
i guess my sd card wont come back i tried putting it on my friends phone but it is completley demaged..
i will buy a new one
thanks for trying guys

sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem
Hi.
My sd card has stopped working. It shows sd card blank or has unsupported filesystem, I made factory reset, hard reset but still not working. My HTC Desire HD corrupt every sd card that i put inside the whole. How to fix this problem. I'm worry about it because i cannot use the camera or to download any video. SD Card require for all downloads. In the PC shows removable disc but when i want to format it shows "enter the disc".
Thank you in advance

How are you removing your sdcards? Are you dismounting them properly? Try formatting it from the phone instead of the PC.

I already tried everything. From phone cannot format the sd Card. The option is to format it but when i make this option, it wont formatted. Remains only trying but nothing happens. The only thing that I will try is to root the phone.

You need a working sdcard to root the phone. I would advise that you try a new card.

lost all my installed apps and files after sd card partition

Hi
I have just partitioned my sd card through recovery mode, and when it rebooted, all my apps had gone, the icons are still there though. How can I get these back? Also my photos etc. I didnt backup the SD card properly, so cannot get them from a backup
Thanks in advance
when you say "I didnt backup the SD card properly", does this mean you didn't back it up at all?
partitioning wipes the sd card, so if you don't have a backup of it, then all your photos will be gone unfortunately. there's not much we can do to recover these. i'm guessing some of your apps were manually moved to sd card, which is why some of them have disappeared as well.
which recovery were you using? clockworkmod recovery for desire doesn't make the best partitions, also uninstall rom manager if you were using it. i would recommend repartitioning your sd card with 4ext recovery (requires s-off) or gparted, search for guides.
then reinstall your apps which don't appear through google play. if you're lucky the app data should still be saved, so things like game saves etc will still be there.
you also have to make sure you're actually using the new partition. i don't know which custom rom you're using if any? it may have an a2sd script built in, so when you reinstall apps they'll go to the ext partition. otherwise you may need to use terminal commands to activate it, or flash a separate script. check and search the rom thread...use another app like 'diskusage' to browse your partitions.
Thanks for your reply

Once information is deleted, you cannot recover it all back.
