I dropped my phone over the weekend and might have damaged the slot where it goes in because every time I open the camera it says "Please insert SD card before using Camera."
File Manager, Titanium won't recognize it either.
Does it just need to be replaced or did I mess something up by dropping it?
Question is:
How do I put the *Sprint Lovers* ROM on my phone and flash it??
I assume they won't let me take my phone back for repairs with the MIUI Rom on it. So how do I fix this?

why is this in the dev section ?
Put your microsd card in a card reader, connect it to your pc and see if any files are there or if your microsd card is damaged. You might need to format your card, but thats just my opinion. Try mounting it again, maybe.
How can anyone else know what damage you did to your phone by dropping it... the only thing you can do is either try a different card or try the card in a different phone or on a computer or something...
Instead of wasting everyone's time including your own, Use a little common sense and deductive reasoning.
And please stop feeding the trolls... Post in the correct forum.

Broski, you're trolling
OP: Wrong section. But more than likely you have a corrupted file on your card. Try scanning it on a PC

Don't mind that guy, he is one of those who come to the defense of the ignorant everytime. A White Knight as I call em. "Broski" ... that says alot right there.
OP: Like others said, check your SD card first. Try a different one, etc. And then realize that you posted in the wrong forum and don't do it again
First of all, the reason why I posted this HERE instead of in the questions section is because I have posted in that section MANY times, and seldom get any answers. You know how annoying it.
No one from here, who actually knows a thing or two, actually checks in that section. Ask yourselves when was the last time you visited that section and answered questions??
Second, my phone now somewhat recognizes it. It says "file unsupported". And when I try to format the SD Card(which I'm not very happy to do, but if that's what it will take) using MIUI, it does not work.
So now I have an SD Card icon with a "!" next to it on my top bar.

You can check your sd card by putting it into a card reader and seeing if everythings there.
Even so if you don,t get answers... this still doesn't belong here. There are sections for a reason. Try bumping it, or even putting it in general. The questions there seem to get answered.

As do I. And whenever I post a question there it's answered within an hour or so. I don't know why people think that you'll be ignored if you post in QA. The devs and high knowledge people do venture there. And if you get ignored, then bump your post. A lot of people post in QA. Just cause you got ignored it doesn't give you the right to break the rules.
can you mount the card to the PC via recovery?

Its responses to threads like these that are pushing me away from an otherwise great forum. Blasting someone for posting in the wrong forum helps nothing. Yes, people need to read and follow rules. But just answer the damn question and move on. This forum is supposed to have mods right? The only reason threads like these get any traction in the wrong forum is from people feeling the need to point out like the 30 people before them "wrong section" Leave em alone and they will quickly sink to the bottom. (which I am guilty of with this post.) Can't we all just get a bong? I really like xda but the user base latley just seems so angry...

I had this happen to my HTC Hero. I dropped it and it busted the SD card slot, it would not read anything I put in there.
Here is a guide that was created from that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911228 This assumes you have Amon RA recovery. If not, if you go a little deeper in the thread, I wrote about how I flashed a recovery without an SD card as well. Good luck!

If no one ever said anything the dev section would be filled with so much "junk" that it would bury all the roms and kernels and everything. I dont normally post in these threads.. but the op KNEW not to post in dev, and did it anyway because he or she didn't get what they wanted...

I feel that is the root of this problem, people have figured out if you post in the dev you will get flamed, but 9 times outta 10 you'll get the answer you want also. As a constructive community we need to just ignore these posts, report them and move on. I stress the ignore. The problem is the internet is full of trolls and flamers that enjoy being anonymous and able to fling ****... It will probably never end

Dude, no need to be a jerk... Anyone, if that download stops working, you can download it here: http://www.google.com/buzz/superlinkx/PiHU4FDrj6n/For-those-interested-I-have-included-the-final
Be warned that this update will not flash over the leaked beta update. It will ONLY flash over 1.47, so be warned. It won't brick your phone, but you will waste about 10 minutes of your life just to see it fail. HTC said they plan to have a solution for those who flashed early within the coming days.

Just an idea here... You might avoid the so-called "jerks" by posting your Question in the Questions and Answers Forum.
Let's use a little deductive reasoning here. Why post in this forum? Don't give me some BS answer, saying something like "it relates to development," because that's a lie and you know it. Truth be told without beating around the bush... The Development Forum is more populated, and you think that because you're posting here, it's more likely to get answered quicker.
Sure, it's more populated, but there-in lies the problem. Because it's the most popular forum, these so-called "jerks" are ALSO more populated here. So your probability of having a so-called "jerk" reply is far greater. You're also going to get a more rash response simply because of posting in the wrong forum and giving a reason to these so-called "jerks" to flame you.
Not only that, but those that would normally offer the help, are then turned away from offering the help because of your posting in the wrong forum. So you're not only attracting the unwanted crowd, but you're turning away the ones that would help you.
Developers are in the development forum for that exact reason... development. You people think they don't visit the Q&A Forum at all. This is untrue. Besides that, this is a community. There are those that aren't skilled enough to be a dev but skilled enough to offer the help and point you in the right direction, and not all of them, but most of those people visit the Q&A Forum regularly.

Amen.
I regularly go to the Q&A forum to give back what i can. I can also tell you that the above is correct. the people flamed the most are those posting in the wrong forum. If you search and let them know you try people a re alot more forgiving int he Q&A forum then they are in development. Think of development as your library and Q&A as the class room.
If you are unsure if it should be in development it probably shouldnt be. If it doesnt pertain specifically to a rom and isnt asked in that Roms thread until you get to a level where you can better determine where it goes ... ask in in Q&A. Best advice i can give to people with questions.

You're right. I should have been less mean. It's just that... when people come to development with questions seeking answers, it just doesn't seem right. I'd like to apologize. And I'm not gonna go back and edit it to make it better. I'm going to straight-up apologize.
I'm sorry for talking down.

Mods, please lock or delete this. Though I'm sure you are all busy dealing with all the trash coming from all the noob trying to ask how to update, each with their own thread...
Okay I rooted my EVO about a week or so ago and Im running the Frost ROM... I like it but I would like to check out some other ROMs and what kind of addons or MODs that are available... I keep running across the term "dodexed" and "odexed"(?) i think is what it was...Can some one please explain to me what that means...
Also what is the differance in Sense and non sense ROMs... What is aosp??
Any clairification would be helpful...
Thanks
Dude you have over one hundred posts. And they're all questions about this and that. Are you aware of the fact that there is a search bar for these forums. I have seen this question asked a lot of times. Hell I even wondered but I searched before starting a thread about it.
Dude, put in the effort and do the work. Only good things will come from doing a little research.

haha deathsled beat me to it. seriously though... i believe (not sure) that this is correct.
dont quote me on it. correct me if i'm wrong.
so each apk has a matching .odex file that contains stuff for it. if you flash a theme a theme (altering framework-res.apk or other app) then the odex and apk dont match and you get system failiure. so odexed roms are unthemeable. i think thats about right. google it (thanks deathsled)
ahhh got it. google is friend. posted by berzerker

so baisically odex is compressed more and deodexed allows for themeing.

Seems like this kind of thing is all to common in the open source scene.

But you can get help for windows sans the ass chewing. I have never understood that.

All the flaming doesn't bother me, I can play this game all day long! I have done more than enough searching to be immune to this kind of treatment... I had a million questions in the begining and I only posted a few specific questions... and even though one can search the forums for an answer to a specific problem, more than some ppl here on XDA can't explain things clearly enough to be of any help to any one - skipping steps and being vague doesn't really help any one but yourself to raise your post count. Needless to say, most threads are useless... they 'cause more confusion than solutions. I'll keep doing what I want and you can keep flaming me 'cause you are better than me & I need a laugh every now and then...

I had a million questions in the begining and I only posted a few specific questions... and even though one can search the forums for an answer to a specific problem, more than some ppl here on XDA can't explain things clearly enough to be of any help to any one - skipping steps and being vague doesn't really help any one but yourself to raise your post count. Needless to say, most threads are useless... they 'cause more confusion than solutions. I'll keep doing what I want and you can keep flaming me 'cause you are better than me & I need a laugh every now and then...

try asking on the irc. very helpful and knowledgable people there.
I have 15 nandroid backups. What is the quickest way to get rom info (like what you get in options and about phone), names of apps installed and pull all the sms? I see that they are image files can I mount them in ubuntu and just browse? Tried but nothing worked so far. Is there away I can mount the images in the emulator? I have been restoring them to my phone 1 by 1 but its time consuming and leaves me without a phone while its flashing. Is there a faster way to go about this or am I stuck flashing a couple a time?

That person means you asked a question looking for an answer so naturally the correct place to ask this question is in the Question & Answer subforum.

LMAO....No I didn't cut the link short! Like rushco said, I meant to direct you to the Q&A section where this question belongs and I did it in a rather sneaking way instead of being a rude SOB to you and getting your feeling hurt........Learn from this and just don't do it again.

I posted a question there over 6 months ago and I did not get a single reply that subforum is garbage im better off on my own... I marked the post as a question and if they don't want me asking questions here why is there a "Is this post a question" checkbox in this subforum? As you can see I don't make threads daily for the simple reason of making threads. If I make a thread is because I have a question whose answer I believe will help many in the future. As you can see from my last thread most of those answers are simple for a dev even now after 6 months of using android I can answer or provide alternatives for most of them. There are not enough knowledgeable people in Q&A and posting there is a waste of time. Yes I have searched and not just this forum. Maybe ill go to the ubuntu forums see if they can point me in the right direction for mounting the images.

For some reason you seem to think forums are mutually exclusive. Never said I was leaving simply said I would try more than one place for a solution. Thanks now the thread was moved to q&a so all future responses will be as useless as yours. BTW toast thanks for moving the thread without input. Don't worry about my feelings when you troll as much as I do you don't take anything online personal I think you should know that.

I just been doing backups since I started flashing roms and for some reason did not think to back up sms. I have been flashing them its time consuming but its weird to see what my phone looked like (widgets/wallpaper/lockscreen/topbar/launcher) several months ago its like going back in time none of them are the same. Im starting to delete them now since I took the long way I haven't really had time to find an alternate method. If I find how later I will post a separate thread to save some time in the future.

If you want to backup you sms messages, I believe there is an app, sms backup that others use.
It said it finished the download, it loads the clockwork recovery...
I then select the up[date stuff.... and then it spews this error 7...
any idea's on how to fix this? all the other updates from 4.0 to 4.1 and from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 with CWM went just fine...

are you flashing the right version rom for your device? all gnex arent the same. you cant flash a gsm rom on a verizon device for example. also, do you have the latest cwm recovery installed? try twrp recovery. also, have you tried just redownloading the rom and flashing again?

A useless post in a useless thread is rain in the ocean. Much like this post. However, status 7 error is easily one of the top 5 beat to death questions on xda. So I'd say, in the interest of usefulness, informing OP of his folly is progress towards sparing the community useless threads, whilst posting the actual information, for the ten thousandth time on xda, is actually not encouraging anything. I call 'em like I see 'em.

if we go your route, then just about every issue in human existence has been written about, posted about, talked about, etc. then there is no point in having any kind of forums, from child raising, to car buying, to xda. might as well just shut them all down because all information is available somewhere already, from a library, to the internet, to stone slabs. but we are all imperfect humans, that do imperfect things. just remember, anything that you will ever ask in your lifetime, or have asked, has been asked already and answered. go search for it instead of bugging your family, friends, teachers, government officials, doctors, or stranger that walks past you on the street with any kind of question.

no its not. there have been 10 threads that i know of dealing with the same thing in the past 2 days.
In the grand scheme of things, and an idealized, purely general, take on existence, you're unquestionably correct. But that excellent segue into reclassifying a cited instance aside, this topic hardly warrants profound defense, in the interest of benevolent information exchange. To your response I would say that this is more akin to asking the manufacturer of your product to read you the instructions. A needless request for assistance, for something that has been more than reasonably supplied already.

I see your point, but I see it more like having a 1,000 page instruction manual and asking someone (or the manufacturer) where the info is located in the book (that's the core idea of a Table of Contents). Just because someone has all the data in their possession, doesn't mean they know where to look or could really understand what they're even reading. But asking someone for help with understanding the instruction manual is totally normal (that's the exact idea behind why there are THOUSANDS of tutorial videos on Youtube and tutorial sites in general). So if someone said "Hey, where in this 1,000 page manual is the answer I'm looking for?" An answer of "The info is there in the book, go look for it" would be pointless.
Back on topic, with error 7, just reboot the recovery (preferably using TWRP) and try again.
^^
And, update TWRP. They've fixed it.

any request for assistance is not needless. the op has a need anyways. i am more than happy to assist anyone in need of assistance. if youre not, you dont have to, no one is making you.
I can see you're train of thought, and I can appreciate that. In any case, you're also correct about getting our young status 7's thread back on track lol didn't mean to hijack.

Just saying... but if S-OFF was needed it would have more than likely been mentioned at least once in the 50+ threads and easily found using the search function.
I think I smell a troll....
Pretty sure s-off is only fur htc phones...

Well you should not say things without actually saying whats on your mind, some have many devices or try out new devices and as most know and I now know about Android that all things are not the same in every instance so mind what you say please.

All I'm saying is that simply searching would have pretty much said that S-OFF isn't needed on our phone... A simple search would have answered the majority of the questions you've asked. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying that asking questions to which the answer can be found within mere seconds does nothing but clutter up the board.
"How do I root?" "I dunno, have you read any one of the various threads?"
"How do I unbrick?" "I dunno, have you read through any of the 3 guides explaining step-by-step how to do so?"
"How do I copy the contents of my SD card to another one?" ...... granted, this one doesn't really have any reference on here, but does it seriously need it?

Never asked about 'unbricking' and as 'you' should know, there are many rooting threads and not all work also why should there be soooo many rooting threads with not all working plus there should be dedicated rooting methods 'proven' to work on each model of this device 'just saying. (not knocking the efforts of the programers of these tools)
