I need help, a friend of mine has a mytouch slide that was rooted but he flashed the wrong rom using rom manager. He flashed a htc hero rom by mistake. This rom boots it up but the wifi, bluetooth, calling as well as the mounting of the sd card don't work. I then tried to flash it back to stock using esprimg.zip on the bootloader. It loads but once it gets to the part where it checks it, it suddenly stops and goes back to the options on the bootloader.

Try deleting the esprimg.zip file from root of sd card. Get phone into clookwork recovery and flash new rom. Make sure you wipe first.
That's the thing, the phone isn't mounting or detecting the sd card. Which means that I can't access clockwork mod. So I resorted to esprimg.zip, and it loads fully but when it comes to the checking esprimg.zip part, it just goes back to the bootloader screen instead of asking to update or not.

Mounting the phone to the PC isn't the root problem. He can't get the phone to detect the SD card at all so how is he suppose to load a ROM from ClockWorkMod?
@OP, so hboot picks up that there is a ESPRIMG on the SD card and then fails the check or does it not even say that it's detecting the ESPRIMG?
It detects it, then fails at the checking part

Since you say it wont boot. Try downloading http://de.codeplex.com/
If link fails its called droid explorer. Basically you can get into the memory card without it being mounted. Yes it needs to be pluged up but this should help. Even if it cant be read. And if the card cant be read using this then maybe its the memory card?
Do you have a 1gb memory stick or 4gb?
I fixed it, I loaded esprimg again and right after it loads and then fails. I go to recovery and aply update.zip, which then finally gets it into clockwork mod, thank you to all that helped and for those with the same problem, try it this way

Hey my phone keeps popping up with an error saying sd card mounted as read only. I've read about fixes bit they haven't worked for me. My question isn't whether anyone has a fix but whether I should unroot my phone before taking it to sprint

Yup. Use an RUU. You can get them here:

Before you unroot and return it. I had the same problem, and was able to fix it by booting to recovery, Mounting USB through recovery, and using my computer to perform a full (not quick) Fat32 format on the card.
Same thing happened to me, its more than likely a SD card issue. I had to format mine to get it to work, but yes its better to be safe than sorry root before returning

My phone was rooted and I did a backup before flashing it to a starburst v1.7 rom. I did everything correct and now my phone just keeps doing a soft reboot every 10 seconds no matter what.
When I tried to restore it from the CWM recovery screen it says "error sd card not mounted", so therefore I can't even restore. I've done the rooting and flashing soo many times on my other android phone right before I switched to Sprint.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
Ddownload a .tar file and flash stick rom and kernal and try again?
Did u access cwm manually? Try to use rom manager off the market see what happen. Internal sd or external sd u talking about? When u access to cwm mount and storage check there too.

Hello,
I had this same problem, just go back to stock using Odin & you will be good to go. You can also trying updating to the latest clockword- that has worked for me before as well.
There were some rushed CWM builds released. You may want to try a newer release

Ok, this is what you do.
In cmw, there is an option to mount the phone to a computer, i cant recall where it is in this version. After selecting it, connect your phone to your computer, and move your backup from ur sd card to the phones internal memory, and then restore it from internal memory.

First off I know i am not bricked. I can still get to recovery, bootloader, and I actually can boot into my rom. The probably is that I cant get past the setup wizard it keeps force closing. I am on Energy sense 3.5. I would do a nandroid restore but Im on twrp 2.0 and it can not read my sd card. Anyone know how to either past the setup wizard or get my sd card to work.
You can go hardcore. Change your Recovery to Amon Ra, wipe everything except SD Card, and reflash

Take your SD card out and put it in a card reader put amon ra recovery zip on it and boot into the boot loader and let the boot loader flash it

Do that, or run the sd card fix from fastboot, using adb.

Hopefully the issue is only with the recovery and not with the bootloader which should still detect the SD card with a PC136IMG.zip on it. So find RA recovery on its bootloader format (PC136IMG.zip) and put it on the root of the SD and boot to bootloader (power + vol down), it should detect it and flash it.

If you can get to recovery, you can toggle USB on, or whatever TWRP calls it and it'll connect to your computer.
So I ended up unrooting because when I tried to change recoveries it would find the pc36 but it wouldn't let me update. It would say checking but it would take me back to the bootkoader. My sd card still does not show up. And my usb does not work. It wont charge unless I turn it off. I tried to use fastboot to get sd card to working but it when I put in that code from calukin s thread it says failed((status malformed 1 bytes)). Something like that. I'm still on 2.2 with update 3.70 is it anyway rerooot without my USB

If your problem is a loose USB port, they should replace it if there's no user damage. I had one replaced for free with a broken charging port as it's a known issue.

If there is no evidence of rooting your device or moddifying hardware/software (or they can't tell), no water damage, and they can't fix it for you over the phone or in the store.
However they may try to give you a downgrade... just speak to a supervisor if they do.
Ok I took the plunge and installed CWM and Ardatdat Kernel. Thank you to both Ardatdat and utkanos for your wonderful work. Now I made a Nandroid backup of my phone and I have lots installed so it is big. It comes to 1.897.535.488 ok close to 2GB. Now It of course places this in the SDcard as it does not see my 32GB MicroSD card. Everything great so far.
Here is the question....
If I transfer this to my MicroSD to save room on the SDcard internal. If something goes wrong and I screw up on installing another rom and the phone does not boot, how do I get it from the MicroSD Card to the internal SDcard???
I am kinda stumped on that one. Only thing I can think of is before trying any new Rom make sure I transfer back those 2GB of Backup files to the SDcard.
Please any help on this would be appreciated.
Hey mate,
I've done the similar thing. It's a but weird having the mount point for the external sd card /within/ the mount point for the internal storage...
I thought that I had read that the mount points used in the CWM were configurable... But I'm not certain. I will have a read over some of their docos and see what I find..

I kept mine on the computer, so whenever I need to restore, it's right there.
How? Is it not only a CWM file? Can you use the nandroid backup files via ODIN? Because as I am saying, say your phone no longer boots and you need to replace the ROM and your nandroid backup is on your computer how do you place it on your phone's SD card to flash with CWM. (Assuming Odin does not work) If Odin Works then you just flash via ODIN and on the computer is fine.
Can you map to your External card via CWM?
See, I also have an HTC Desire HD for other purposes, and when I tried to put a new rom, it would be stuck at bootloop. There is this option in CMW Recovery that lets you still view the files on the computer (Mount), and exchange files. Then from there you navigate to where you put the backup via backup and restore, and boot it.
CWM should always be there with the Vol down + Power buttons, and you should be able to recover it.
It's my first time experiencing with Odin since I got this device, so I really don't know much about it.

Very interesting are you telling me that you can mount your computer's hard drive on to your phone? Is there somewhere I can read about clockwork mod?
No, he's saying that you can mount your phone to the computer from recovery.

Look in the CWM thread. Pretty sure it's possible, but it takes an editing/adding of code
Ok, so this is probably a stupid question, but the last time I tried to do a factory reset on my phone and install and format a new sd card I ended up soft bricking my phone and I don't want that to happen again because I don't have a computer at my house. But...if I'm running stock JB 4.1.2 flashed thru odin, rooted, and I have TWRP installed can I change sd cards without a problem? Or, are there files on my current sd card that the phone needs to read the recovery or root or whatever? Thanks.

I may be wrong but I'd say you need your SD card with your recovery on it to be in your phone.. I've never really tried removing the SD card.. Good question tho.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking but I needed a second opinion. I am wanting to switch sd cards bc I've got way too many pictures on it and I really don't have time to borrow someone's computer and sit down and go thru what I to keep, then organize them all and put them on disc....so I was hoping to just start fresh on a new card for now, but it doesn't look like it's gonna be that easy. So, would I have to put the new sd card in my phone then flash the recovery via odin? Or would I have to reflash the stock Rom or what? Any suggestions?

Just turn your phone off and switch SD cards. Nothing should happen to your recovery.

I don't know what to tell you. I have no problem switching SD cards. Did it earlier today.
My guess would be to make sure to have either twrp or what ever recovery you use on the new SD card you want to use.

When you flash a recovery it is installed to your phones internal memory. Not to the external SD card.
