Hello all. I just installed a new rom and my phone is stuck in boot loop. Unfortunately i did not copy a backup rom on the card and I kind of customized the one I flashed (probably the framework is causing the bootloops cause thats the only thing I have changed). Anyway now I need to copy a new rom to the SD card so I can flash it. Is it possible to load the SD card via the USB from the HBOOT menu because unfortunately I do not have a card reader.
1. Why didnt you create a nandroid backup before you started? That allways makes life alot easier!!!
2. You can push files to your phone via fastboot if you have s-off. Here is a link to an application that might be able to help you aswell if you are not to familiar with fastboot commands: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823315&highlight=Fastboot
I hope this helps! Good luck
btw if all else fails there is allways a very simple solution to your problem ... go buy a card reader
Just boot in to recovery, go to mounts and mount the sd as mass storage. No need to use fastboot or adb.

Thank you so much man. This made it a lot easier. Re-flashed and everything is working flawlessly. Best forum ever

After I read through several hundred pages on different topics but all treating the sd-ext one or the other way, I still think, that my problem has another twist.
I recently rooted my phone and I'm running Leedroid 3.0.8.2 APSD with S-On. Now everything runs perfectly: quick system info shows my apsd partition, apps are saved there (also new ones I installed after flashing the rom), titanium backups them and my phone runs smoothly.
But, clockworkmod cannot mount the sd-ext, cannot backup it nor restore it. And root explorer cannot find it.
I tried to format the sd card and remaking the partitions. I tried all other solutions I found on xda, but the problem remains.
Can anyone help?

hi,
seems that your problem is your CWM version, already read a problem's like this.. buggy recovery.
look into devlopment thread recovery cwm, think this issue is related there.
depends the version u got
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112658
be aware that to flash new recovery, best way is to be s-off
hope this help
How did you format it? With Linux or the Rommanager,...? Is this problem new?
Maybe you have to flash a new version of the Clockworkmod. Therefore you would have to S-off the device.
Please give us more information.
I made the partions using MiniTool Partition Wizard on Windows. I have cwm 2.5.0.7. But the first time I made the partitions I used the rommanager.
The thing is, that the root explorer doesn't recognize the sd-ext either. I will try to flash a new recovery though. Can't I use unrevoked for this too?
The format of the sd-ext partition is ext3.

After the first partitioning, I zipalingned the sd-ext using the recommended tool by Leedroid. But after that I was stuck on the splash screen, so I remade the partitions using MiniTool.
Then I was able to flash the rom and get my phone going again, but had the problem with sd-ext.
A week later, I wiped the sdcard anew and tried again, but the problem persisted.

I had a similar problem. I solved it by flashing the alignment patch twice (first time: splash screen freeze, second time: bootup and mountable in recovery)
Goodluck

Please try to format the card with linux, the rommanager or the cwm. It is only possible to flash another recovery when you are s-off as far as I know.
You can also backup the data with linux. Copy the files to the card back and restore the ext in the recovery otherwise it won't work. I would also backup the apps with TB before just to be on the safe site.

Hi don 't use alignment zip iit was design for typical rom (data2ext ) 'use instead gpartes but since your rom with a2sd or whtever with ext boot means that U got a working ext fs... To see what is stored in ext use quick system info or browse to system/sd directory.

Hello!
I think, your ext is working well. If its not working, you should not be able to use the Rom as you described. As written by other user, look with root explorer into the directory /system/sd. Here you see the content of the ext-partition. You won't see a folder like /sd-ext in a file explorer. On a running phone the Fat32 partition of sd-card is accessable as /sdcard, the ext-partition as /system/sd .
After you mount your sd-ext in recovery, look into the mounts section, there you should see a line called unmount sd-ext - if you see this, the ext-partition should be successfully mounted. In recovery with mounted sd-ext you should be able to access ext-partition with adb, mounted as /sd-ext
Hope what I have written makes sense

Ah, I always thought that I should look for a folder called sd-ext. I know think that the problem lies with the cwm and the fact that v2.5.0.7 doesn't recognize my sd-ext partition, probably because it is ext3. The sd-ext partition isn't and cannot be mounted in recovery.
You think flashing a new recovery could help? And if yes, what is the best way to flash it when s-on?
Thanks!

You have to be S-Off to flash a new recovery as I told you before.
Therefore I would first try to format the sd card again (not with windows).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112658 if you want to flash a new version (You would have to s-off the device. It could be that you have to install a ruu and reroot the device for that procedure, because alpharev is not able to install the hboot with every rom)

I Use the same recovery like u. No problems with ext-partition (ext3) here. I don't believe its your recovery, I think its your sd-card or partition. Download gparted boot cd, burn it to cd, boot it. Delete at first all partitions on the sd-card, kick apply! Then build new partitions. There are a lot videos in YouTube about using gparted if necessary.

I tried using CWM to do the partitions, but couldn't find the command. Either way, I think I leave it at that, at least until the next update of Leedroid, as the Rom, TB and everything else works perfectly.
If any of you has another idea... Btw, does it matter which class of sdcard one has?
Thanks!

Gparted is good to use... No class shouldn't make a difference for partitioning on speed of data transfer etc

Finally solved my problem! I s-offed my desire and flashed AmonRa, did the sd-ext repair and got it going! thanks all of you for your support!
I'm dealing with a very very weird issue
Recently i flashed ICE beta 6 rom but it was slow and not good enough for daily driver, so I decided to restore latest nand backup from my last sense 2.3 rom
I did as usual. Reboot to recovery. Noticed that sdcard is recognized as 'null' but did not pay attention to it (which seems to be very stupid now)
I wiped all the partition and system and cache and factory reset etc... as usual
Then i chose restore but it said "error can't mount sdcard"
Tried to mount /sdcard but it said error
So i thought, ok we could try powering off and detach/attach the sdcard again
I powered it off, and now i can only enter Fastboot. Everytime when choosing BOOTLOADER, it enters but then i cannot use Vol up + Vol down + power to navigate through options. Have to pull the batt off to turn the whole thing off.
But when i remove the sdcard, the navigation buttons are MAGICALLY working again! But it does not make any sense because i need the sdcard to restore!!!!
So, any one, help me, please!!!
Very appreciated and thank you in advance!
Somebody helps me please!!!!!!!!!! Super urgent
Maybe your sd is messed up. Put the sd in a card reader and read it from pc. If u can, perform a backup. Then format the sd and see if u can enter recovery !
Or try a different sd card of you have one

Yes I thought of that luckily my gf has the same exact phone so ill do it that way but I havent purchased an sd card yet. Ill have to buy one tomorrow. Thanks. Theres no way to upload it using adb?
Either Mount internal sd in recovery and hookup to your commuter and put the rom on the card. .. Then you could flash. ... Or get a mini sd and put a rom on it and insert it in your phone. ...

Hey guys , seeking help from the pros here.
I tried to install a new rom yesterday and mistakenly hit the format SD option instead of format System to clean phone before installing a new Rom. Now my problem is my internal memory has no files now, when going in cwm and trying to install rom from internal memory it says there are no files.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can flash files back into the phone, i tried Odin and some of the flash stock rom guides here but i boot loop and it removed my cwm, so when i go into recovery i actually go into androids stock recovery mode. I have tried to flash cwm again and that seems to work but still no files in the phone. Help.

You should be able to mount sd card from recovery. Choose that option in advanced. I use twrp now and it's a bit easier to use than com. Once you mount the sd card find it on your computer move the rom zip there. Now unmount the sd and flash away.

Twrp seems easier to use and it has big buttons with the touch screen.
If you have an external sd put the rom on it from your pc. Then select external sd from twrp by touching it where it says internal and select external. Now flash a custom rom.

Hello.
I have problem with my phone, i format all memory, and now i have no recovery or any rom to flash it,from what i know and read, only option for me is ADB sideload rom to phone, cause like now i can only go in fastboot, flash new recovery, that it.
The problem is, i think only twrp have ADB sideload function, and .......i can't use it, touch don't work in twrp, volume up/down also do nothing. is there any other method to put rom on card in phone ? Also i can't connect phone to my pc, for some reasons computer don't see my phone, i'm able to flash new recovery through cmd, but can't make pc to see phone as usb mass storage. So now i stuck. anyone have something similar ? And figure out how to put rom in memory card ?

How in the World you managed to do so???
Erasing recovery???
Well, I never used ADB push. The easiest way is to flash Philz recovery again, mount sd card and copy the ROM.zip to sd card.
And why double posting problems. Old thread is only 3 days old
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582565
Flash this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And do whats been told. Mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu. Wait a couple of minutes (yes literally minutes) it will pop up !
And if you did search the twrp thread (touch not working) you would have found the repacked 2.4.0.0 -JB twrp recovery. It's been discussed there many......many times !

i can't do it cause in recovery i can't mount phone as storage so i can't put rom on it. having only recovery give me nothing if i'm not able put rom in phone. if problem will be only recovery, then i wouldn't bother you guys. my main problem is that pc don't see phone, all drivers are installed, yet nothing works.

i put rom on sd card in phone, flash boot img, shut down, disconnect cable, boot in recovery, wipe and stuff, install rom, error 7, i never disconnect cable during installation, i even don't touch phone more than i need to.
Its the recovery i guess. Have you tried this.....rom is now on the phone so that problem is done. Flash the 5.15 recovery and install the rom.zip.......spit out ideas and thinking out loud.....these are all things to test.
