If you formated your internal memory you have gone to far
I can tell you that you.should never do that because it.removes important stuff
So get another sd card
Mout sd in cwm (if you.don't know how look it up)
Transfer a rom of your choice
Flash it and it.will restore the full rom

Do you have S-OFF?
Try getting one of the zips from one of the RUUs put it on a memcard and then boot to bootloader and try that way.
yes i have s-off. hate to sound uneducated but what is RUU? Appreciate all the help
Edit: ok googled it. ill try to give it a shot
Ok... Well, let's see if I can do my best to explain everything.
I've been using AdamG's "Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM" in my Desire since I got it (about 4 months ago). Recently, my crappy stock SD card corrupted itself and after backing it up, I reformatted it.
Apparently that did something really bad because now my phone wont turn on. It just sits at the "HTC" loading screen. I can get into recovery, but anything I try results in "ADB server out of date. Killing..." and then "Daemon still not running".
I'm at a loss here. I haven't bothered playing with root, or ROMs or anything since I first did it all 4 months ago (without a problem). So treat me like an utter noob.
Have you tried to take the SD card out and reboot?
Take out the SDcard and try booting into Recovery.
you should of done a nandroid, maybe you have formatted your ext partition, if you have you will need to re-flash
I've tried taking the SD card out and all the obvious stuff.

That sounds plausible, that might have been what I did. What's involved in a re-flash? Start from square one? Re-root and all? How do I do all that from where I am now?
No a re-flash would mean flashing just your ROM.
Were you using A2SD?

Yes I was.
I managed to get into Recovery and wiped everything from there, the phone now boots to the stock ROM. (stock as in the one I had loaded, AdamG's one). I want to swap to a different ROM, how do I do so from this point?
Also, on another (maybe unrelated) note: When in recovery, it says:
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Does that mean anything?
Pick the ROM you want and put it on the root of your SD card.
Download ROM manager and select Install ROM from SD Card, Look for the ROM you put on your SD Card and select it, Tick Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache. Then let ROM manager do it's thing.
Sorry I don't know what "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" means, I'm a newbie too, I only replied because I formatted my SD card before and had the same problems you're having.
Thanks Joe... Unfortunately, I got a little further into the process and went to flash via the Recovery (rather than in the ROM Manager app)...
...I say "unfortunately" because now I have no system (as it formatted it as part of the process) but I keep getting:
E:Can't mount SDEXT:
E:Failure at line 11:

Will the problems ever end?
Moved to Q&A as not development
how did you format your SD? I'm no expert but it looks like your SD EXT partition is still corrupted. I would format and repartition it using Gparted
Heres a guide for gparted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7279872&postcount=3
Haha, I think I got it, it's finishing the flashing process now. I'll let you know if it boots up and runs ok as soon as it does.
I think the problem with "SDEXT" was the ROM itself, it must have been a bad download or something, cause I just tried another one and it seems to be working fine.
Thanks for the help guys, will update ASAP.

Sonofa--
I think I spoke too soon. I'm pretty sure the phone is now stuck in a bootloop.
I just keep getting the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot animation playing, sometimes it plays 5 seconds after another, then I leave it for like a minute before it plays it again. But it's stuck there.
...Unless ROMs have taken A VERY long time to start up since I last flashed. But I doubt it.
...My temper is slowly rising now.

I have some sort of sd-ext error when restoring a nandroid backup. At the moment my phone is stuck at the cyanogen boot loop. I've wiped everything, i tried to format the sd-ext but it will not mount. i've tried fresh installs, everything I can think of but nothing seems to be working.
sd-ext error is normal, that's actually referring to the partition where you would install apps2sd, I get that error all the time because I don't have any as well and no need to have that partition.
In ClockworkMod Recovery, the sd card is just called "sdcard"

Okay. So how do I go about getting my phone operational again? As I said i've wiped everything and tried to restore backups and did fresh installs and still am stuck at the looping boot screen.
You're using clockwork mod recovery right? Format your sd card using Windows to FAT32.
Boot into recovery..format all your other partitions. Mount USB storage, put a ROM in there, try stock Virtuous seems to be more stable than CM.
Clear data/factory reset, clear cache, then clear Dalvik cache. Install Virtuous .zip.
You should be able to boot. If you still can't try taking unmounting the sd card after the ROM finishes installing, try taking it out as well.

I successfully installed the MIUI ROM however it doesn't even get to the boot screen. It stays on the white background HTC Incredible screen.
I saw this guy had a similar problem:
http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/181337-backup-problems-ud-cm6.html
He said that Cyanogen Mod seemed to be better for him. But he was also clearing data/cache and Dalvik AFTER he installed the mod.
It's ok to do that after, but you better make sure to do it before. Have you tried clearing both before and after? If it gets stuck on the white incredible screen I am not sure, but if it goes beyond that and then crashes right before the boot is finalized then that might be an SD card problem.

Yes i've tried before and after. With cyanogen it loops the boot screen, with MIUI that I installed it doesn't get past the white screen and i cannot install virtuous at all
Anyone? I'd really like to be able to save $300 here
last loop i had with cyanogen was because i had the wrong kernel. make sure u flash a kernel that supports asop. its simple but it slips minds alot i usually use kings kernels (#2)

The phone is totally screwed up, it wont even accept unrooting and putting the stock ROM back onto it. I have *NO* idea what happened. I just got this phone replaced and did a restore and it was working fine, then it froze so i removed the battery and put it back in and then this.
http://androidforums.com/incredible...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html
try using that to unroot, itll take you back to 2.1 (or you could use a different ruu for whatever version youd like to revert to)
Fixed! I went out and bought a new class 6 SD card and used berserkers method to go back to stock. Thank all of you for your help!
I have an unrevoked-forever (s-off) Incredible, running CM 6.0.2 (stable). I have been running an 8gb sd in, but recently I have been reaching the limits.... so I decided to upgrade it to 16gb.
I copied all the files from my 8gb to my PC, via phone USB. Then from my PC to a 16gb card, via card reader. When I unmounted the 8gb, and replaced it with the 16gb, it would not remount. I then started getting low memory warnings....but still could not get it to mount the SD card, old one or new one. So I rebooted and now I'm stuck in a boot loop, with either memory card, for some reason....
I tried a nandroid backup, and it says complete with one line saying "SD-ext.img not found- skipping...." then on reboot, it still goes into a boot loop.
Suggestions on what to try next are VERY welcome. I guess I should have not tried swapping the SD card while the phone was on?? I can of coarse boot into recovery, and I do have ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1.
Worse case scenerio, wipe? and run apply CM from SD card?
Why do people always get scared about the SD-ext error messages, where it's clearing data, formatting, or restoring backups. SD-ext is for apps2SD. The SD card partition for general storage is called sdcard.
With regards to your problem, I have no idea, Sorry.

I have no idea what SD-ext is for...I'm not "scared" of this error, I just want to get out of bootloop....if it's not related or important information, sorry....I assume I messed something related to the SD card....considering how/when this started happening....but of coarse I don't know exactly what I did, that's why I'm asking.
I don't get an "error" screen, I just get a boot loop. I don't even know where to begin to toubleshoot this....so thats what I am asking for...suggestions.
I thought that you assumed that error was the problem.
Does your phone still reboot loop when the sdcard is removed completely? You can try backing up the contents of the card onto your computer..then format it with FAT32 in windows. Try it with a completely empty card, but formatted as FAT32 of course.
If you're still having problems then if I were in your shoes I would resort to a factory reset, clear everything, and then start fresh (especially considering your nandroid backup did not work)

The boot loop happens with, either card, and also with no SDcard in. I only get to the Cyanogen animation and it keeps looping......I will try formatting the cards on the PC and then pasting the SD card "copy/backup" from my initial try....
---if worse case----
I have never installed other roms, I have had relative success with CM....so I really don't know how to "wipe" and start fresh.
Are these steps close:
1. boot to recovery> ClockworkMod
2. select wipe data/factory reset
3. select wipe cache partition
4. select advanced> select wipe Dalvik cache?
5. install zip from SD card > select CM- 6.0.2
6. done?
Yes, those steps sound correct to me. That is your best shot.
The Incredible in general has reboot problems, for some reason it is very sensitive. I'm not really sure if you changing the SD card truly caused the problem or not, but it's worth reflashing the latest CM. I recommend 6.1 RC2
6.0.2 is quite old and it has a lot of problems, including force close mail client by default, a faulty radio interface layer that may cause reboots, and many, many other fixes have been implemented in 6.1 RC2 and the latest nightlies. Don't be discouraged that it is a release candidate..in reality it is much more stable than the 6.0.2 "stable".

Well I downloaded a fresh 6.0.2 and 6.1 RC2 from Cyanogen....I followed the steps above to "wipe" and installed the 6.0.2....result= bootloop still
repeated steps to "wipe" again......selected to install 6.1 rc2......result= bootloop still
SO now I'm really at a loss. I figured with a wipe it would work....maybe my steps are wrong.....ANY suggestions now are welcome.
Do you know how to use advanced from the android ask. It can be used to figure out where your problems are.
Might be that the Dex cache is being created, but that only happened to me when flashing my own custom roms, not when changing SD cards.

No I do not know how to use the "advanced from android ask." But I am willing to learn if needed.....Is this the SDK tool? I believe I toyed with this when I first used the Unrevoked method to root....but thats been months and I don't mess with roms much. I started playing around with SDK a few minutes ago to familiarize myself....but idk.....
Is there a simple way to get some kind of log file? Can I load another recovery, like Amon_RA style type, which has some different options....but I don't know if it will help......Thanks for all suggestions thus far.
See I'm not exactly sure that the SD card was what caused the malfunction in the first place.
If you have an AMOLED incredible your 3G radio or battery may be beginning to fail...as I said before the Inc is very sensitive and tends to reboot a lot for stupid reasons.
You can certainly get a log if you use LogCat from ADB, but if you cant figure out exactly whats happening, then most likely you need a replacement.
You can unroot, turn S-ON, and put a stock RUU and see if you still get reboots (I'm willing to be that you will). But if you still get reboots completely stock, since you're stock you can go to verizon now and get a warranty replacement.
Quick review
- you unmounted the 8 Gb SD card, and removed it from the device while the device was still on, replaced it w/ the 16 Gb SD also while device still on?
- in the last working CM 6 ROM... were you using the SD card to cache memory or any other SD card usage tied to an AOSP ROM?
- what apps had you moved to SD card?
Absent all that, try and d/l a non AOSP ROM, for instance Virtuous, place it on your SD card in Recovery, and see if you can flash it.
Why? Solving for whether the device boots and will load a ROM at all - AOSP ROM's utilize the SD card more than Sense ROMs.

Status as of 12/06/10 11:18am est.......Things I have done since last posts.
1. I have wiped numerous times via ClockworkMod. And tried CM 6.1rc2. Still got loop.
2. I installed Amon_RA recovery, wiped everything, formatted SD card through Amon, partioned SD card through Amon.....installed Cyan CM6.1 listed above, and phone sat loading at the initial screen "htc Incredible." Let it sit for 10+min....still nothing....
3. Tried to repeat step above...same results, now just initial screen, NO bootloop.
4. Installed ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5. Wiped. Install Virtuous 3.1.0. Recieved an error during install....."E:\" unable to read data...followed by a string of numbers and other info.....
5. Wiped.
6. Installed Hboot 92. (upgraded from 77)
7. Tried MIUI v0.12.3. Rom installed "successful." Rebooted and stuck on initial screen. been 5+ min as of now....
So NOW I am not getting a Bootloop....just a frozen screen. I can still get into recovery, so hopefully I still have options. Your insights or suggestions are the only thing keeping me trying ATM....I'm running out of options of my own.....
Well I still haven't got past initial boot screen with MIUI, even though it said installed correct during flash.....
SO I tried to wipe, and install Virtuous 3.1.0 again. got the same error...wrote it down this time:
E: Can't chown/mod /data/app (operation not permitted)
E: Failure at line 8: set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0771 0644 DATA:app
Installation aborted.
I'm still at a loss, and taken any pointers or ideas. I may play around with other roms, but idk.
1. I tried Skyraid_333 and had the same results. Locked on initial white screen.
2. Wiped and tried a "stock" rom available from Virtuous.....http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/other-releases.html
It loaded and then it actually booted to the red eye droid (different from my original post which was the CyanMod boot anim)....yay....then it froze (eye stopped moving)....tried booting w/o SD card...same thing....
3. Wiped and decided to try Virtuous again. This time it loaded and installed "completely."
It booted again to the red eye animation....seemed to freeze, but I left it, and it finally started after 5+ min....I finally got a phone back.....
I do not know entirely what I did, in the process of loading all these roms. I do remember when I installed the "stock" rom, listed above, it had an install step which said installing "BOOT." (or something like that) I do not remember this listed step on the other rom installs...although they may do it and not list it....idk....
I have a feeling that the stock rom did something, but I don't know why a "wipe" does not reset everything, and why any rom wouldn't work....So I'm stuck back with HTC sense, due to the time I have been without a phone, I will live with it....I forgot how much I dislike this sense.......
Thanks to everyone who chimed in.
Congrats on you fixing your phone. I am still very new to this myself, but one of the first things I would have done would be install a stock rom again. It sounds like you lost or had some corrupt files which were fixed by going back to stock. If it were me I wouldn't be scared to wipe with a custom rom or nandroid backup, but thats just me.
i'm stuck with a similar problem: phone (dinc rooted, recovery CM 2.5.1.2, hboot .92) currently frozen on htc splash screen -
How it happened:
I was running MIUI 0.6 1.1.28.1, tried to re-format the SDcard to wipe it and start from scratch again. Did not nandroid beforehand (wiping SD) but pulled the 0.6 1.1.28.1 zip to my desktop. Tried formatting but phone wouldn't format it properly - wiped all info from SD, but no longer readable by phone or computer.
Used Mac disc utility to re-format and erase card to FAT32, still un-readable. Phone now only boots to splash screen, recovery works.
Brother has an un-rooted dinc so I grabbed his SD and mounted the card to the Mac via recovery, wrote onto it the MIUI rom I was previously using and did a full wipe (data, cache, davlik) and installed rom - rom installed correctly but still couldn't get past htc splash screen
Gave bro back his SD and tried mine again - got it to mount to the phone by partitioning through recovery, re-installed MIUI rom to my SD card and tried rebooting a number of times, still can't get past the splash screen (15+ mins)
Currently downloading virtuous "stock" rom as posted above and will try to wipe/ flash. It's a huge zip compared to the MIUI zip - maybe that's a good thing?
Here's to hoping.
Have tried flashing multiple versions of MIUI rom, packaged by n_i_x and warttack - no luck on either.
I just flashed the virtuous "stock" rom and got to the droid eye splash YES!! Mine may also be stuck in that screen though on the droid eye.
IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't even begin to say how relieved I am - I'm never getting rid of that magical virtuous zip.
So glad someone had gone though this before me.
AOSP interacts w/ SD
Handy information to know -
AOSP ROMs interact w/ the SD card quite a bit, whereas Sense ROMs not so much.
So, if a new SD and boot w/ AOSP, expect it to be wonky, particularly during boot.
hth
i dunno what caused it but mine has been doing this for about a month. Got my refurbished phone in today so HOPEFULLY that one will work better, but i dont really expect it, as this stupid boot loop issue seems to be a VERY common problem with inc's. I probably wont ever buy an HTC after this one, should have learned my lesson after the touch pro
anyway, even on stock rom, unrooted, with nothing extra, mine does this for no apparent reason
So a while back I rooted my desire, and played about with a few roms, then stuck with cyanogen for quite a while. This is the order of a few actions I took which I think may be where the problem occurred.
So from being rooted with cyanogen 7:
I decided to s-off the phone with alpharev
I then put a new splash screen on
Then decided I wanted a new sd card (I was told by a mate it will just go straight in no problems) So I bought an 8gb card stuck it in put my backed up data on the card and booted, all was fine.
I then thought about trying a few new roms that had appeared, and I tried flashing one only for the phone to hang forever on the splash screen.
I've been trying a few things to try to resolve it, stabbing in the dark, such as running unrevoked3 (maybe to root again, only for it to say the firmware is too new) I made my new sd card a gold card, like I did with the original.
None of these helped. has anyone any ideas or know how to sort this out???
What recovery do you have? Which ROM did hang?
Did you do a full wipe?
Does the rom you want to instal require a ext partition?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I wiped the cache, and dalvik cache, even did a factory reset in recovery. Im using clockwork recovery.
I tried InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_CM7_v20 and Reflex_S_2.0_LITE_GingerBread_Sense-2.1_GRI40_A2SD+
Maybe these need an ext partition? Would that be it? I'm not sure how to set that up yet.
yes those roms need ext partition, don't know about reflex bu have insertcoin myself, 1GB ext4.
1.go to recovery
2.press on partition sd,choose the size, then after it's finished convert it to ext3 in partition sd again below the option of making one, you can make ext4, but thats up to you. ext3 is needed..
Don't forget to backup your sd, you'll lose everything on it
The ROM you mentioned is an a2sd ROM. So yes, you'll need to partition your SD card if you want to use a a2sd rom.

Thanks for this I will get on it and let you know
I can't find an option in my clockwork to partition the sd. Just been searching a bit and seen it can be done through rom manager, that rebooted the phone and left me with the ! in a triangle and the small droid on the screen and when I press the power button it is in recovery it says installation aborted. Is there a guide for the Desire? I can't seem to find one....
Sorry found a guide on here. Will try to do it now.
Ok so I am really struggling to get anywhere with a few different guides to partition the card. Through rom manager it also says signature failed, although I have tried toggling the permissions. Major

Steveoh like i told, do it from recovery(easiest), when you rooted you were able to change the recovery(unrEVOked), do so and change it to Ra recovery
Still if you don't want to this program can help youhttp://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Download this and do it from you pc, although it's very easy to do from recovery, takes 5,6 minutes mostly waiting..
I have created a partition with the program you recommenced. How will I know that it is ext 3? And that my phone will use it?
found it!
