Hello,
I was taking a nandroid backup through Clockworkmod recovery and after its completion I plugged in the usb cable.
My pc could recognise the device was plugged but I couldn't browse the sd card as usual.
So I rebooted the phone and booted it with vol down+power. Tried there to connect the usb so as to copy the nandroid backup but still nothing, so I selected Fastboot and then reboot.
Now the phone keeps on rebooting before showing the "quietly brilliant" logo.. :S
What is wrong?
Thank you!
Problem solved by restoring the nand backup :S
If there is anything that I should know about this procedure and have done sth wrong please inform me.
i have the same problems. After backup by the rom manger, my mobile can't keep reboot. I have tried restore, but it seems can't read my sd card.I have reformat hte sd card and do a full wipe. After i put back the .zip into the sd card and to flash a rom back, it can't. It seems can't read from my sd card. Can anyone give me a big help? I want to boot up/flash a rom 1st.

Earlier today I flashed to a new rom and wanted to revert back using a nandroid backup - i tried to move my backups into clockwork folder so I could use clockwork recovery and thats when all hell broke loose
I ended up getting in an endless reboot and when I went into recovery my SD card wouldn't mount. I tried EVERYTHING including the RUU.exe - but no luck it wouldn't complete, SO I was able to add the PC36.IMG (or whatever the exact spelling is) to the SD and it restored that (I used the newest one Toast posted in the 2nd step rooting thread)
Now finally I'm back into android but I have no SD or USB support and again stuck.. Now when I try to reboot recovery I can't even use the update.zip because my phone can't mount the SDCARD within recovery or android. So now I have no idea what to do... Can anyone help? Should I try the RUU.exe on the computer again now that I'm back in android? I don't know if it will work because it seems I have no USB support - I can't ADB or anything.
My vote is you corrupted your SD card, and that it needs to be formatted. Reboot in to Flipz's recovery; There is an option in there to format and partition the SD card. Or, if you have a MicroSD card reader that you can use with your computer, pop it in there and I betchya the computer can't read it either. Format it with your computer as FAT32.
make sure usb debugging is enabled and RUU will work.
Hi,
Was running on LeeDroid 1.9, wiped and flashed for OpenDesire 3.4, came up fine then rebooted for the 3.4.2 patch and now my Desire just will not go past the HTC logo screen no matter what I do.
I can boot into recovery and have full access to everything, tried formatting the SD card and loading different ROMS but stuck @ the HTC green logo on white background.
Even Revoked3 again but the prob is not getting into the Recovery menu, its getting past that HTC screen.
Any info / idea's / help?
Thanks
Russ
If your phone turns on its not bricked, there will be a way to fix any issues your having, its just finding the correct one.
When flashing other roms did you wipe everything?
Data
Dalvik Cache
Ext parititon (if you have one)
Not wiping Dalvik is the number one reason roms get stuck bootlooping on bootscreen1.
Alternatively, it is booting but your not waiting long enough, you can always run adb logcat while booting to see if they phone is actually doing anything.
Hi,
Thank you for replying....
Figured it out that it is the SD card, here is the situation:
- Boot into recovery but cannot mount nor format the SD card
- Can see the SD card in MAC/ Windows and formated it Fat32
- Can boot without SD card
- Can boot with another SD card which is only 128Meg so cannot get LeeDroid back on it to reflash that ROM
I obviously need to format the SD card proper and it looks like I need to use Gparted but that looks like a HUGE Linux ISO download unless you know of a MAC version of it I can use?
Thanks
Found a 2Gig SD Card, got LeeDroid back on it, flashing and hoping I can boot with the original SD card so I can format with ROM manger but thinking it wont boot up with the SD card in regardless of the ROM, lets hope!
if you don't manage to boot it up. find this in the forum "PB99IMG.zip" w/o the quotes. format your sd card and put the archive in root of sd card. after that turn on your phone by pressing volume down and power on/off. wait till phone recognizes the archive and follow onscreen directions. phone should boot normally as unrooted. use unrevoked to root again and flash any rom you want.
post result.
Okay I am up but not on my original SD card, using a spare.
In recovery mode my phone refuses to mount nor format the card but can see it 100%
Seen some posts of a ADB cmd I need to use or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!
I ran "unrevoked" on my phone again and it booted when I had that problem.
But I took out the sd card when I did that. Not sure if it helps. But who knows.
Tried that, booting without the card is fine, with the card in is the issue, phone cannot see it.
It all started when i was transferring file from my computer to the sd card thru the usb and they kept deleting on there own. So i figured ill do a factory reset and reflash decks 1.2, so i did the factory reset then tried to flash the rom and it keeps aborting and it says (bad), i tried flashing three roms and nothing, so then i tried doing a PC36IMG thru the bootloader and it does not seem to read the file nothing comes up to do an update PLEASE HELP
I did put the nand backup on the sd and tried doing a restore but them dots in ra just kept going for like 45mins never stoped
For your first problem, the download was bad, so try it again, or directly from your phone. If using a mac, you need to use a browser that isn't safari. As for the backup, it may be corrupted, you can always re flash the recovery. And make sure you do not have more than one PC36IMG file on your sd card.

There is a possibility that your SD card needs to be reformatted. Copy the contents of the card to your computer or external hard disk and then, using your recovery (preferably amonRA v2. 3), go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it. Afterwards, do not reboot. Simply connect your device to your computer and then select the USB-MS option within recovery. When your computer recognizes the card, copy only the rom onto it. Select the USB-MS option again to disengage. Now flash the rom.

So earlier, i wanted to format my SD card again and clear off some junk, so I moved everything to my computer and tried formatting with Settings>Storage Erase. However, that just hung up for a long time, so I booted into recovery and formatted the SD card from there.
That went fine, so I mounted the SD card in recovery and copied back my files. But when I restarted, my phone just goes to the bootloader menu. I cant boot back into the ROM anymore; only recovery / bootloader.
Did I mess something up? I do have a nandroid backup, but its a little old.
Thanks
EDIT: Also, when I choose Power Down from the bootloader, it brings the bootloader back up. I think I have to take the battery out if I actually, want it to stay off.
Ok so baisically my retard side came out last night and i accidently installed electricfire theme from rom manager, when my phone booted it was full of errors so i thought i would put my phone in recovery and reset/clear data etc. Didnt work ofcourse, so i booted into cw recovery to restore my nandroid backup, then notice i had version 5.0.2.8 and not .6 so whenever i try to restore my backup it will stop at certain points in the middle of the restore and reboot then enter boot loop, I can still get to hboot and recovery though. So then i was going to try and put the stock rom zip on my sd card to flash through recovery but my computer wont recognize my phone as a storage disk to put the zipped file on the sd card.. But my computer does recognize that my phone is plugged in when in hboot, but a prompt pops up asking to install driver software etc.... Posting a thread was the last thing i wanted to do but i couldn't seem to find the same problem on the fourms. Any help would be much appreciated thank you.

Take the sd card out of the phone. In a card reader, from your computer, copy the cwm 5.0.2.6 file ( www.redmondpie.com/how-to-install-f...overy-on-supported-android-devices-root-only/) the root of your sd card (it should be a PG76IMG.ZIP file). Put the card back in your phone. Take the battery out for about 5 seconds. Put the battery back. Hold the volume down button then press and release the power button. The phone will go on, let it do its thing, it's installing cwm. When it's done, take the battery out again, then take the sd card out. Put it in the pc's card reader and delete the PG76IMG.zip file. Make sure you do this, otherwise it won't work. Put the card back in the phone, also the battery. Now hold the volume down button and press and release the power button. It will look for the PG76IMG.zip file, but it won't find it. When it finishes doing its thing, press the volume down button to where it says recovery, then press the power button and you should now boot into recovery. From here, restore your backup, and you should be good to go. Let this be a lesson and make sure you research and understand what you are doing BEFORE doing it......
Thank you for the reply, ill have to get a card reader then.. haha thank you much appreciated.
