accidentally erased all data on sd card - Desire General

I was in the fastboot menu and deleted all my stuff and I was trying to fix a endless reboot loop so I can't get into it. I have a restore spot on my computer but don't know how to get onto the desire.

Take the card out of the phone, put it in a card reader, put the card reader in the computer, copy the backup to the card, take the card reader out, take card out and put out back in the phone.
If you don't have a card reader boot in to recovery, go to mount and mount the sd as mass storage. You obviously need a usb connection for this.

Yeah I figured it out and now I have it working. Thanks to all that helped

Search up EASEUS on Google. There should be a data recovery program on there which should help you restore erased item's.

Search how to unroot your evo in 2 steps. And this isn't dev material. Q&A is where this belongs.
I believe you are looking for just the flash card? meaning the microsd card?
there are a few ways.
1. Pull the card out plug it directly into a computer, back up all data and then format it...then plug back into the phone and copy your stuff back.
2. plug the phone into a computer, transfer / backup all your sd card contents, go to settings sd & phone storage umount SD card, format sd card and put your stuff back.
I just know there is crap on this sd card that is a waste buy not sure what...

SD Card Help

I'm in a world of hurt and hoping someone has a solution for me!
I took my SD Card out of my phone & plugged it into my laptop. I then took all the files from my SD card and dragged them into a folder. Next I deleted those files from the SD card so I could use it for another purpose.
After I finished this process I got rid of what I had put on the SD card for the other purpose & dragged all the Android files from that temp folder back to my SD card.
Now my phone won't recognize my SD card. The card will not mount and when I boot my phone I get a message that says "blank SD card". When I click on that message it prompts me to reformat my SD card and warns me that everything on it will be lost.
So what I'm wondering is: can I reformat the card, plug it back into my laptop, drag the files back to the SD card and all will be well?
Or is there something else I need to do?
Or am I screwed?
I even tried a CWM restore...but the restore is on the SD card so that obviously isn't an option.
At any rate, I really need some help here and I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance and direction for me.
Thanks!

Yes, format the card inside the phone then put everything back on it.

Worked great!

Need to unroot

I have a big problem and am wondering if anyone can help me. My evo won't read my sd card. Is there a way I can unroot without using my sd card?
Is it the evo or is it the SD card?
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
It's definitely the microsd card. I put the microsd card into the sdcard adapter and put it into my laptops memory slot and could open it up. I need to unroot it to take it back to the sprint store to get a new one.

If it's "definitely the microSD card" then why would you need to unroot your EVO? Sprint is not going to give you a new EVO for an SD card problem. If anything, they will simply exchange the SD card. Of course, I'm only speculating. Anyway, if you're certain it is the SD card and can read it from your laptop, how about copying the contents of the card onto your laptop and then repartition and reformat it via your laptop. Afterwards, copy the contents back to your SD card, reinsert it in your EVO and reboot.
sorry meant to say definitely not the sd card.
No problem.......Still, I would copy the contents of the card to the laptop and then repartition and reformat it. Afterwards, I would copy the files back to the card and reboot the EVO. Also, connect your device to your laptop, boot into recovery, select the MS-USB option and see if you can see the card from your laptop. If you can, download the SECOND file from this link -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=884060 -- copy it to your SD card and flash it from within recovery.

[Q] Copying SD card files in recovery to PC

Is there a way to copy SD card files while in recovery I'm using TWRP.
My SD card is unreadable getting error SD card damaged try reformatting. Ive connected my phone to PC but it doesnt see SD card.
When I'm in TWRP I can see all my files. If I could just copy them to PC I could reformat without losing my data.
Thanks for your help

[Q] Partition SD Card

Just formatted my SD card and now wanted to reflash a new ROM. However, there are no ROMs on my card when I look at them through recovery. The ROMs are on my SD card when I look at the SD card on my computer. Do I need to repartition my SD card? I did a factory reset on my phone and now I'm in a boot loop. Please help.
Thanks

Are you looking for file on internal or external SD? Are you in the right directory?

Ok,
1. Forget about re partitioning your card.
2. Use es file Explorer (or similar) to locate the files on your ext sd card. If you can see it/them then you know you are looking at internal storage in recovery.
3. Change to "storage: micro SDcard".
4. Flash away...
