[Q] She is bricked (pls not) HELP!

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.

Internet Downloads?

When I try to download things from the internet onto my phone, it says I have insufficient storage. I formatted my SD and now have over 7GB of free space so I think the downloads are saving to my phone instead of my SD card. The problem is, when I go into my internet settings to "Download storage" it says "Storage card" underneath but it's grayed out. How do I fix this problem?

Anyone??? Please?

Did you format your SD card via your phone or via computer. If via computer, format it from your phone. Menu - Settings - SD & Phone Storage.

^I formatted it on my computer. Now, I just formatted it on my phone and my SD card wouldn't mount so I rebooted and now I'm stuck on loop on the FreshEvo boot screen.

Turn your phone off and then remove the SD card. Boot your phone to make sure you can boot normally. Afterwards, turn off your phone, reinsert your card and reboot, if you get stuck again, reboot into recovery and, depending on what you have, you *might* be able to format the card from there. If not, reformat via your phone. It *should* work. It always work for me.

I'm still stuck on the loop without the SD card in, and when I boot into Recovery it says it can't mount the SD card.

Your problem is not the SD card then. Your phone will operate without it. If you done a nandroid backup, I recommend that you use it to restore your phone to operating status and reformat your card once completed. Sorry for the delayed responses, I'm doing chores and stuff and reading the forums as time permits.

When I try to restore nandroid it just says SD can't be mounted.

Do you, by chance, have a spare SD card? I just want to see you get out of the loop and into your phone's menu. I don't see the connection with you being unable to boot completely and your SD card because the card is not mounted until after you're at your homescreen. Also, if you're unable to mount your card for a nandroid restore then your phone is useless, but not completely so don't fret. Therefore, acquire a different card and go from there. If you have To buy one, buy a 4gb card. Remember, we're trying to get you to your homescreen and if push comes to shove, the ability to flash your rom.

I'm having the same issue with my HTC Desire. The Download Storage option in the browser settings appears grayed out. I've formatted the card through the phone menu, I've rebooted it but the issue remains.
Did anyone solve this?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Finally reached a problem I cannot fix on my own, please help

So my phone and computer will not detect my sd card after I dropped my phone.
Here is everything I have tried:
hard reset
sdhc micro adapter for my computer
pulling out sd card and reinserting
pulling battery and letting sit for awhile and plugging battery back in
I followed the sd card and usb fix issue found in the forums, but everytime I install the jdk the sdk installer says it is not found.
I know if I am able to format the card somehow it will fix it i think. but I cannot get anything to recognize it, or if I can figure out what single driver is missing on my phone I can figure the rest out from there.
The sdhc adapter works with the new micro it came with but not mine.
I am still able to use my phone but I obviously cant do **** without the sd card.
I have a recent backup of my sd card on my computer I just need a way to get it to my sd card and I am stumped.
Thanks for your help guys
Is there a way to force my comp to read the sd card?
Update
One thing I was just able to do was to take the micro sd that came with my adapter and my phone reads it just fine. However it is only a 2 gb. Like I said, I have a back up on my computer of everything that was on my sd card at one point. Being that my phone can read sd cards, does this help at all with somehow fixing my factory one?
Since I am now able to get into rom manager and my phone recognizes some sort of sd card. Would flashing some sort of sense ROM allow me to put my original sd card in and format it?

If all you want to do is repartition and/or reformat it, boot into recovery and do it there. While in recovery, especially is your recovery is amonRA v2.3, select the "MS-USB" option and serif your computer detects it while you're connected via USB.

I am currently using clockwork. I tried the mount unmount options in recovery mode. I have never really tried amon-ra for anything but now might be the time to give it shot.

[Q] USB Debugging turned Off and can't get into OS need to do backup SD is internal

I have the Google Nexus Unlocked version phone and I can not get into the OS and then touch part does not work I can hear the notifications go off but the screen is blank. I do not have USB Debugging turned on and I need to Backup my data from the internal SD card. I can get into recovery but the computer does not recognize the phone at all. There is no way to remove back case as SD card is on a built in chip. What can I do. I am using CM 10.1 Please help me I have to send in phone to get fixed.

Guessing you have clockworkmod recovery if you're running cm10? Boot to recovery and use adb pull /sdcard/. O, and at the top of the general forum, there are stickies which will teach you all you need to know to both use adb and fastboot, as well as return to stock. You should do your research before flashing!

Unable to mount SD and to boot

Hy all,
First, excuse my english, I'm french.
This morning I was on call and suddently, it stopped and my phone freezes. I had to remove the battery.
But know, I'm unable to boot again.
Since I decided to remove the bootlogo, I don't know if it's right after the HTC screen or while booting (I knew it was a bad idea...)
Finally, after some tries, I've been able to access hboot and recovery. But recovery took 46 secs to boot and said "Unable to mount SD card" or something like that. I tried on my computer and the SD card can be accessed.
So, I would like to know if someone had the same issue or if someone can help.
Thx!
Infos :
DHD running CodefireX SR19 and latest radio. No other sign since the release of SR19 some weeks ago.

sounds like you need to reformat SD card on computer. But first copy 4ext folder to computer then format SD. After format SD place 4ext folder back on SD then remount SD to phone see if that helps. You may have to full wipe and reflash rom when you enter recover do to apps moved to SD will no longer be there but may show in rom and when you try to open they will force close.
