Hi,
from one day to another my defy started into a bootloop. When i remove the sd card the defy starts without any trouble but when i reinsert it i've got the same trouble again.
I tried to reflash the firmware (froyo UK and froyo PL-orange) but nothing changes. When i do a full wipe of the system i'm able to boot with the inserted sd card for about 3-10 times and after that i've got the same effect again. It doesn't matter which microsd card i've inserted (i've tested different once - both formated on the defy and on a pc). I realy don't understand what's going on there.
Sometimes i can boot the defy with inserted sd card when i connect it to my pc by usb when booting up (perhaps it's just a coincidence because sometimes i can boot with inserted sd card.....)
I can't find anyone else with these problem???

Ever since flashing cyanogenmod 6 I have been having several probelms
1. My SD card is not mounted and not recognized by anything. This is stopping me from accessing rom manager or making any changes.
I have tried several things including reformating my sd card and removing files just in case it was to full. I have not been able to figure out how to partition it to part fat32, part ext yet. I am running out of ideas and getting very frustrated with my phone. I have three sd cards to work with and none of them are recognized.
2. This would not be a problem if I could just go to stock. Unfortunately I can not get my pc to get me into recovery so I can preforma NAND backup or flash a different rom that is closer to stock. I think this may have something to do with my sd card not being recognized. I have also tried the workaround involving no pc but still am getting nothing,
3. I am also having issues with usb connectivity.
I think if i can either get my sd card mounted or my phone to enter recovery mode so I can flash another rom, add the google add on, or do a NANdroid backup it would take care of my problems. If any one has a great idea as to how to get my sd card to be recognized I feel that would solve most of my problems.
Thanks Brad
Hey I have the same problem!
Could you solved this sd card issue?
Thanks
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

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.
Hello. I have done hours of searching for this problem I now have with my Desire HD and haven't found anything similar.
What happened:
I was running a MIUI ROM and experienced poor signal, noticed my Radio was a different version to the one recommended for that ROM. So I checked my phone was ENG S-OFF (yes) and flashed the recommended Radio.
Since that point the phone worked, I did a full wipe to install the newer version of the MIUI ROM and that's when Clockwork Recovery said it was unable to mount the sdcard.
I tried booting the phone with its stock ROM, and it's as if the SD card doesn't exist, if I plug the sd card directly into my computer it works fine, but ANY sd card plugged into my phone does not recognise it.
Since then I have reflashed a few different radios but still the phone does not recognise the SD card and I have lost root access. Phone is still ENG S-OFF.
Can someone help?
Thanks.
I would first suggest to put the SD card in your pc and attempt a format. Many problems can be solved that way. If not, try another SD card. If that doesn't work the phone may be broken and you may have to get it repaired. But let's wait and see what others think about this too.
I would suggest you to try inserting-ejecting the card multiple times into the phone socket. It is clearly the socket flawed. It happens on most of the phones I guess, even in my old SE W580. Try inserting-ejecting multiple times. If this would not work, you have to get your phone repaired, since it isn't likely to be a software side problem.
Hello thanks for your responses.
I have found a pattern between the sd card not being recognised and HBOOT.
For whatever reason, my phone will not boot directly to recovery (POWER + VOL-UP) - I get 3 vibrate pulses and the orange light flashes forever - instead I have to boot to HBOOT (POWER + VOL-DOWN) first and then select recovery from there. Whilst booting HBOOT, it checks the SD card for 5 different files, of which none exist - think something like PD98DIAG.ZIP etc. And once this process has been done, the SD card is not "seen" by anything else (recovery or ROMs).
However, once in recovery, if I reboot the phone directly into recovery from there (reboot recovery), the SD card is readable and usable.
Very bizarre!
Hi, please help me, i have flashing italian job rom (V.1.0), i have some mistake in flashing it, and my phone had bootloop 4 times. But then i flash the rom again and it work fine without any problem... After about 30 minutes, there is a notif that show usb storage is removed, i try to restart my phone and re-plug the sd card but its not work, sd card still not detected... even in my laptop the sd card can't be readed... Is there is anyway to "revive" my sd card? No problem with the data, i just want to get my sd card back
First: change thread name - this is not Italian Job foult but yours experiance.
Format sd card on PC ( fat32) but if pc cant do it...clean your card with clear cloth and/or change adapter/pc.

Got a 2nd phone to try the sd card there? I think I have encounter that problem some months ago with ace 2 after flashing a GB rom, but I can't remember what I did to solve it.
Hey guys and girls!
This morning my phone turned off by itself (13% battery left) and needed somewhat longer than usual to reboot (in the meantime I plugged it back in to the charger). First thing I noticed was that my whole theme got reset as well as it started showing me introductional tips ("long press here to move your apps to the homescreen, ecc.). It also started to update apps in the Play Store even though I set it to manual ... so basically a LOT of things were reset.
The biggest problem I'm having now is though that all my files (pictures, videos, music) that are stored on an external micro SD card are corrupt. It's not possible anymore to open anything. I already removed the micro SD card and put it into an adapter to have a look at the files via the laptop. But nothing, even though the sizes of the files seem OK, I can't open them.
Does anyone have a clue as to what exactly happened here? Are those files lost (at least of some I have a backup) or is there anything I can do to "repair" them? Help is really appreciated, thanks!
PS: Things like the card unmounting and re-mounting never occurred. So I can't tell if the card was dying or if actually the phone ruined my files.
Did you happen to be using a SanDisk SD Card? I've had my 10 brick 2 of those until I switched to Samsung SD Cards about a year ago and haven't had issues since.
I never could manage to recover files from the damaged SD cards.
I have a Samsung SD card and had something similar.
I guess I was on Viper Rom and basically my phone restarted around 15-20% of battery. After a long wait for booting back again, all my settings were gone.
Files and others in the SD card was okay but basically until I formatted the card, I wasn't able to boot into the Download Mode to install a new rom...
I fixed the restart issue by installing the official HTC Rom.
Thanks for your replies.
It is indeed a SanDisk 16GB card. It seems though that the card is still working (no problems accessing it via phone or laptop), just the files appear to be broken. In the meantime I also tried apps like PC Inspector File Recovery, but to no success
I'm still on stock HTC Sense by the way, no root, nothing.
Anyone know though why that happened (resetting everything, etc.)?
Hit me with a PM I'll give you a SanDisk restore tool which works quite ok. there is a huge chance some files can be recovered, some will be damaged though. Don't push any new files on the card after you tried to restore the files
HTC 10-Corrupted microSD card
I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if there is a solution. I have an HTC 10 which has an micro SD card in it, that is "married" to the phone. When connected to a computer, the computer recognizes the phone, and the microSD card, and begins to load the folders/files. Eventually this process stalls, and the phone/drive is no longer readable by the computer. To get the computer to recognize the phone/card again, I need to restart the phone, but the same thing happens again.
I have like 20gigs of data on the card, and cannot just put the card in a reader, because it's encrypted to the phone. Any possible solutions? It's frustrating to see the files/pictures for a minute or two, and then have them disappear. I have tried copying/pasting the files while they're visible, but this often triggers the computer to no longer recognize the phone/memory card. I've tried to un-encrypt the microSD card, but the phone can't recognize/access the microSD card long enough to complete that process.
Please help if you can.
