Out of no where I got a message on my phone, saying that my sd card was unmounted. I wasn't doing anything other than I normally would. Now when I try to access my SD card, it's not even seen by the G2. I've formatted it to FAT32 and nothing, I've restarted the phone multiple times and no dice, and I have given it time to rest. I cannot seem to find the issue with this, but I have heard about some issue with the SD card latch thing. What can I do to fix this issue? Any advice would be greatly welcome
Have you tried another SD card to see if it is the phone or the SD card giving you problems?

Is it the SD card that came with the g2 or a different one?
I had this happen with a 32GB patriot class 10 I put in my G2. It would corrupt and do the exact same until I full formatted it on a PC. (long story short it's a issue with the sdcard itself and has to be formatted a special way, but it's ONLY THIS CARD).
Try a different card, if a different card works then full format the nonworking card. If that still doesn't work then there may be a off chance (a very very off chance) that the card went bad.
Went to the T-mobile store and tried 2 different sd cards. Neither of them worked... any way to fix this on my own? If not, then can I un-root my G2 without an SD? If I call up costumer care, they'll probably want me to send my G2 in and will notice it has been rooted and such. I heard somewhere that as long as it looks stock, they won't do/say anything... not sure if this is true though..

Yikes, I'm not sure if you can if it can't read a image off the sdcard to flash.
You do have a legit hardware issue that rooting couldn't cause though.
The sd slot is not fixable most likely.
But getting your phone back to stock is.
if you have an eng s-off bootloader you can usually fasboot update the PC10IM.zip if you rename it to update.zip and place it in your adb/fastboot fodler on your pc like so:
fastboot update
ot
fastboot update update.zip
not sure, it's been a while
if you have an s-on bootloader have no fear, you can still get to stock, it's a little more complicated.
find a PC10IMG.zip that has a stock recovery.img in it.
extract it and place it somwhere it is easy to locate and the path is short for ease. like c:\
download a flashable recovery update zip for the stock rom you want to load back on the device. keep it for later.
download this special recovery image:
View attachment CWM-3.0.2.4-sd-spoof.zip
extract the image and flash it from the OS, you'll need to boot your phone first then when it is up and running you need to enable usb debugging and use it to push the recovery image to your /data partition
adb push recovery.img /data
or the path is required if you put it elsewhere like c:\
adb push c:\recovery.img /data
it should be in /data/recovery.img
then open terminal or since you shoudl have adb open you can use 'adb shell' then type enter to enter a root shell
flash_image recovery /data/recovery.img
it should just spir out a
#
that means it's successful, reboot to recovery
now you will be able to push items to the root of your /data folder (or anywhere in /data really)
when you select the flash zip from recovery option it will spoof the /data folder as the /sdcard and display the contents of your /data folder rather than the /sdcard allowing you to flash without needing the sdcard to work.
now flash any stock rom from recovery.
while still in recovery you will need to flash the stock recovery image as well once you verify the stock rom is in place and boots. you will still have CWM but you wont be rooted so flashing from recovery is required. it can be flashed with the same commands you used to flash the other recovery from the OS
if you get a return of error -1 when you try to use the flash_iamge command to flash recovery PM me, i have a fix for that as well. it should be updated though not to do that any more.
ONCE YOU FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY AND STOCK ROM, unless you manually root again, which will be tricky, you are stuck.
hope this has been helpful.

S-off and S-on bootloader? Is that the same as having S-on/S-off in general?
Larry was banned this morning, apparently being helpful isnt something highly valued around here.
yeah, you achieve s-off using gfree and you can decide if you want to install the ENG bootloader.
If you did, it should say ENG S-OFF instead of SHIP S-OFF
if fastboot allows you to do anything remotely you're in a good shape and that means you probably have a ENG bootloader.

Heya,
I was using the LeeDroid ROM until today, when I desided I want Cyanogen.
I backed up the phone using ROM Manager, wipe and flashed Cyanogem 6.1 RC2. The phone restarted, turned on - but it cn't load the actual android OS - just keeps restarting on the blue wheel-thing animation.
I can boot my phone into recovery, but can't do much from there since its S-ON.
The recovery windows says:
bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot-0.80.0000
microp-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.10.05.23
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
what can I do to get my phone working again? Will a simple restore using HTC software do the trick (followed by root with unrevoked)?
Thanks

Which version of Clockworkmod recovery did you fakeflash? There is an issue with the latest one that makes your SDcard unaccessible afterwards. It also mess up your USB.
Here is a thread that guides you how to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
I used the latest one, 2.5.1.7 I think.
Isn't there a way to restore the phone with the HTC software, sonething lite the iphone+itunes combo?
Is your sd card not being recognzed?
As you said you created a backup using rom manager before you flashed the new rom. So why dont you just enter hboot, go to recovery and the restore youre phone to the backup that you made using rom mabager before you flashed?
When I select "recovery" using the HBOOT I get a picture of a phone, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark. Does this mean I have to do the USB brick fix?
hmmm thats odd ... sounds like it could be a usb brick related issue, im not sure as i havnt had the same problem before or seen anyone else in the forum experiencing this problem.
I think you should read up more about the usb brick fix, hopefully there is something there that would be able to help you ... if its already known that the latest version of clockworkmod does give this problem then im sure its this and you would be able to find a solution to this problem.
Good luck
UPDATE:
My bad, I was supposed to press volumeup+power to see the recovery screen.
Now, when I do that I get "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command", and get only 4 options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe date
wipe cache
Is this related to the USB BRICK thing?
You need to wipe data when switching roms, this will fix the bootloop.
I would also suggest you flash a permanent recovery for ease of use. You need to use unrevoked to do this.

This is the default android recovery screen. The error "E:Cant open...." is something I also get.
Do you have an update.zip on your SDcard? Like the clockworkmod recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640Use 2.5.0.7 and not 2.5.1.2 (has the fail you most likely see now). If correct update.zip on SDcard, try to press apply sdcard. If youre able to do so, you are accessing your sdcard. If youre getting problems applying this update file. I suggest following the thread I told you in my first post You then have to make your SDcard accessible with a fastboot command.
You are accessing fastboot by holding vol down while powering your phone on. Select fastboot. Plug your USB. Download the Android SDK or only fastboot.exe. Run this command from cmd: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0". You should get a return command like "okay", and your SD card should be accessible again. Now you will need to follow the guide and fix your USB. However, you should be able to flash a new ROM now when your SDcard is accessible again, or just restore the nandroid backup that gave you this problem to begin with

Do you have a mem reader for windows/linux? Look if you have the file or not. If you don't have it, copy it there. If it's there, you have a problem with accessing the SDCard.
I would say, If I were you, I would try to "repair" the SDcard with the fastboot command first. Most likely, your ROM will boot again when it can read from your SDcard.
Other options would be to try to push the update file with ADB in Android Recovery. Most likely you can't push it either since your SDcard most likely is inaccessible. Try fastboot

You can get your update.zip file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
Download the 2.5.0.7 zip file and rename to update.zip. Put on root of SDcard and apply sdcard: update.zip in android recovery. From here, go to nandroid, restore, and select your backup.
Doesn't the Update.zip file suppose to be a zipped ROM?
Not necessarily. A zip can flash a lot of different things. I'm not that much into it. But it all depends on the content of the zip file.
How do I " go to nandroid"?

Don't remember what it's called exactly. But when running update.zip (clockworkmod), you should have a restore menu somewhere...
Thanks a lot man! recovering right now.. will update when done.
About that S-ON thing, will the Unrevoked reflash option "Remove phone security" take care of this? Is there a risk in re-rooting?
I want to add some notifications sounds and the "system" folder is write protected
EDIT:
The restore works just fine!
Hi everyone, for Christmas my screen was crushed by a car .
The screen is completely destroyed (both touch screen & display screen).
However the phone is booting, so I can put it in recovery mod (I rooted the phone and I have clockworkmod).
After many trials, I succeeded in having adb connecting to my phone in blind mode.
I did this:
Code:
adb mount /data
adb pull /data /a_backup_folder
adb mount /system
adb pull /system /another_backup_folder
... and copied back my SD to my computer. I plan to buy another Desire and to revert the instruction by issuing a push for the data & system. This is:
Code:
adb mount /data
adb push /a_backup_folder /data
adb mount /system
adb push /another_backup_folder /system
Will it work ? Or is the system in sync with the flashed firmware ?
Can I selectively push some of the folders (namely applications, and the whole data). I hope to get back my settings, contacts etc...
I'm afraid I cannot do a whole lot more, since I do everything in blind mode.
Any advice on this ?
Thank you !
Just make a nandroid, should be able to restore as long as you don't have a different screen version (AMOLED to SLCD) but not 100% sure.

Thank you for your suggestion.
Can I do it even if I do not have a screen ? I've tried to launch it but I fear it needs busybox (it says that it cannot find nc) and I think I do not have it (and don't know how to put it without the screen).
What are the supplementary steps that nandroid does ?
This is for CWM 2.5.0.7.
Sorry mist the part that you have to do everything blind, when in recovery press 5 times down on the volume rocker and then 2 times on the OJ let it sit for 10 min, should be done sooner but i don't know how to check if it's finished. After 10 min press once again on the OJ, your phone should reboot and in the Clockwork folder on the SD card should be a backup folder with a folder with the current date and time of the back up.
Unfortunately it did not work.
It did the steps as provided, and indeed the phone rebooted, but there is no clockworkmod folder on the sd card.
Is there any way to do a similar operation with adb ? This would be easier since when I'm in adb shell, I can type from the PC .
Try installing amon ra recovery. You should be able to do it. This is what the amon ra thread says:
Scripts available via adb :
* Nandroid v2.2.1 : enter "nandroid-mobile.sh" to start.

Use the command below to find out what partitions each mtd is for (I don't remember)
cat /process/mtd
Then backup with
cat /dev/mtd/mtdx > /sdcard/mtd.img
(Replacing x with whatever number)
Get all the partitions you need, boot, cache, data and system. Then flash to your new phone from fastboot.
fastboot flash boot mtdx.img
You might want to get hold of a tool called unyaffs and take a look inside the images you make to check its all ok before you bin your old phone or send it back.

Ok the first step worked, but unyaffs does not want to open my imgs.
The size are as follow:
Code:
3*145*728 boot.img
3*145*728 boot_ro.img
41*943*040 cache.img
41*943*040 cache_ro.img

4*718*592 recovery.img
4*718*592 recovery_ro.img
262*144*000 system.img
262*144*000 system_ro.img
154*796*032 userdata.img
154*796*032 userdata_ro.img
which seems good (I also made images from the mtdXro). However I should be able to extract userdata and system from my understanding. I tried with unyaffs both on linux and on windows, on both I get a segmentation fault.
Do I have a way to verify that theses images are good ? I do not want to trash the new phone I will buy with a faulty image...
Flash the same rom from recovery on your new phone, then flash the data image from fastboot, if it works the first boot should take a while as it builds the cache. If it doesn't work just clear data and it wont have done any damage to your new phone.
You will have to zip the data image before you fastboot flash it because it's too big for fastboot to receive.
If you have s-off on your old phone I would flash amon-ra recovery from fastboot then use the nandroid script over adb.
As long as you don't try to flash the recovery you backed up I don't think there's any chance of damaging your new phone doing this.
Ok the final solution was to use the new phone (rooted and with clockworkmod) as a reference.
I did the same backup sequence on the two phones, and have been able to restore the backup on the new phone.
Thank you everyone for your help !
Glad you got it sorted...don't drop your phone under a car again.

Hi Experts,
I am getting serious problem in my clockworkmod recovery, I am not able to mount the card because of which I am not able to install any ROM, the thing is that I do not have any ROM installed on my phone so cannot go out from boot/recovery window.
I am getting error like when I try to open SD directory from recovery
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
Please help I tried searching the thread but could not find any good solution.
Formatted the SD-card card also but no success
I am having the same problem here
Plz help expert , I tried to use another sd card also although it was old with 128 mb space but same error was shown in recovery,
it is the case the the sd port might have been corrupted?
then i think the phone is gone
plz help
Plz help guys...no one to suggest something ...m thinking of taking the phone at service center....but u i think warranty is void now ...as it is rooted...
ok soz i just read 1st post carefully, will help you momentairly
also i need to know is your phone S-OFF ?? (did you do the alpharev procedure or just unrevoked)
you must set up ADB on your pc : http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ you dont need to do steps 3-5 since you already have the drivers (the same as rooting), you must download the ADB files from 'update' part after the step six, and dont do ADB devices cmd, do 'fastboot devices' while in fastboot mode (back+power) to check if you get a serial number (if yes it works if not you didnt do it right way)
when done, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt do :
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
this should fix your SD, then go into recovery and check if you can mount your SD (USB storage) to use it in windows, if yes you are good if not that is an USB-brick, it is fixable so dont worry
Thanks for the help .... Will try this ASAP....hope it helps
Also my phone is NOT S-OFF...Do i need this before proceeding or can I solve the issue like this..??
you dont need S-OFF and, if you have USB-brick i dont think you can make this procedure
first, do what i told you (set up adb and enable your sd card) and check if your phone has any usb-connectivity

are you 100% sure the .zip file are OK ?
try downloading Oxygen ROM and flashing it.
also i do understand you can connect your phone with computer with USB cable [with USB storage enabled in recovery, does the windows see the FAT partition on sdcard] ?
check your md5 sums - or flash another recovery
Yes the zip files are OK i already installed them before (RCmixS)
but wen i mount from recovery the usb is not seen in windows...

plz help guys still no gain...cant install rom...
firstly lets try to flash a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640&highlight=clockworkmod
download clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 ZIP file and put it onto your SD
then boot into recovery and flash the downloaded CWM.zip, it should now boot up into clockworkmod 3.0.0.5
now try flashing a ROM (rcmixs or some AOPS - Oxygen or CM7)
you can also try with clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 (but 3.0.0.5 is better imho)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod
now hopefully you will have a bootable device. now the usb-brick.
all you need to know is in the 1st posts of this two threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143252&highlight=usb-brick
also in the second thread there is 'visionary+' mentioned but you do not need it, since you are rooted already.
both threads describe the same method, read them and you will know what to do.
good luck
-----------------------
if for any reason you cant flash a ROM with a diffrent recovery then im outta ideas. someone else would have to figure out why cant you flash a ROM (not being able to flash a rom has got nothing to do with usb-brick)
just to be safe, try with oxygen.
----------------------
and if nothing works you could try a RUU (put phone into fastboot and then run the .exe file on PC and it will work) this should restore you to a Stock unrooted rom, but the USB-Brick will still be there, so you would need to do the method from 2nd thread with visionary+ to gain temp root
thanks a lot dzumagos
for all the help...will try it ...
simply try to change the recovery with unrevoked , download amonra recovery and it should work
But doesnt changing the recovery with unrevoked works when u have a ROM install...
As I do not have any ROM installed can I change the Recovery.....
the thing is I rooted the phone long back and now I forgot how I did it....need to search it ...
Also when I run CWM 3.0.0.5 thru recovery it changes to 3.0 but wen i reboot the recovery again CWM 2.5 comes
y is that so ??
yes it is the way it is supposed to be
it is called 'fake-flash' which means CWM 3.0.0.5 is flashed temporairly. so it is gone after a reboot. to flash it permanently you would have to be S-OFF which you are not but that is not a problem.
anyway were you able to flash a ROM using 3.0.0.5 or does is act the same as 2.5.0.7 ???? did you try with Oxygen rom ??
Hi there, I'm having a bit of a crisis, I'll try and describe as accurately as possible:
- I decided I wanted to install a new rom, with Android 2.3 and HTC Sense 3.5
- The rom required going back to to the stock hboot, which as far as I know and can tell (I'm far from even averagely knowledgeable) turned S-ON (the hboot I've got now is 0.93.0001)
- It also required a 1024mb Ext4 partition on my SD card, which I created
- The rom got stuck in a loop at boot, so I entered recovery to try and restore my previous rom (which I had backed up both on the SD card and a copy on my hard drive)
- While there I discovered that recovery was finding an error with the Ext4 partition, and wasn't able to mount it
- I went back and reformatted my SD card to get rid of the Ext4 partition, thinking that if I was restoring to the rom I was using previously I should put the SD card back the way it was
- I transferred the hard drive backup of my previous rom onto the SD card
- When trying to restore the backup I get an error saying:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /sdcard

Which doesn't, presumably because the phone is S-ON
- so I go to adb to try and turn S-OFF by following the steps here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting, because I figure it's likely to be the same way for a Desire as it is for a Desire Z. When I try the first command ("adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/) I get back "error: device not found". This is despite fastboot commands working, and the SD card showing up on the PC if I mount it through recovery.
That's everything I think so far. I've tried a few solutions here and on various sites, but everything fails.
If anybody has any suggestions they are extremely gratefully received, whether they work or not! I'll try anything, really.
I think that if I can get the SD card to actually mount I'll be good to go; I'll be able to restore my previous rom and all should be well. But I expect I need to find a way to turn S-OFF for anything to work? Is that right? And is there any way to do that another way using adb (or getting the adb method I was trying to work) or without an sd card/an actual loading and running operating system?
Again, anything at all appreciated. I think I've included all the information I have?
Thanks!

What made you think that what works on DesireZ would work on Desire?? There's a separate section on that wiki for HTC Desire. Just sayin.
If you want root, check http://revolutionary.io
But don't go ahead and do anything yet. Your story is lacking some info. So what was your old rom, what was the new one you tried. How did you manage to change the hboot? If you weren't using stock hboot before, then you should already know the correct tools to s-off your phone. Oh and one more thing so do you have a Desire or a DesireZ??
Please post more information from hboot (start phone with pressed volume down + power button).
In my opinion the best way for you is to flash 2.3.3 RUU for a fresh rom and then use revolutionary to get S-OFF and root.
Hi,
I have been trying to root my phone to install ARHD. I installed the boot.img file from the downloads section, installed ClockworkMOD, copied the ROM to the SD Card and unlocked the phone using HTCDEV.com.
However, now when the phone tries to boot, the lock screen appears, freezes then the phone reboots. Ican get into CWM Recovery but I can only see an Android folder, Lost.DIR folder and My Documents folder. I cannot see the ROM.
What can I do to get out of this Bootloop?
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
boot into recovery
install zip from sd card
choose your rom
install
viola
any of these steps that you not make? If you can follow through all these steps you should be good to go
good luck

Thanks for the quick Reply shadehh!
I can follow the instructions up to Install Zip from SDCard. When I choose that option I can only see the following directories:
Android/
LOST.DIR/
My Documents/
I've searched through all 3 directories and no sign of the ROM. I had originally copied it to a new folder call ROMS on the root of the SD-Card.

Ah this looks crappy, your phone i think is not in big **** just yet. Looks like you've got to find a way to push your rom into your phone and i think i just recalled something...
I know this is written in the One S section but i see no reason why this shouldn't work with the HoX
What this basically does is it lets you put a rom on your sdcard through CWM, this i hope helps you get back on track : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
try putting across again go in to recovery and mount the storage and drag and drop it over again see if that helps
adb will not detect the device as I cannot get into the operating system to turn on USB debugging
when I mount the SDCard, my PC still cannot see the drive so I cannot copy anything across.
Any other ideas?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html <-- you have that installed?
install following packages:
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform Tools
Google USB Driver Package
uhhh, then check if your device gets detected?
Also have you got HTC Sync installed?
EDIT: If this doesn't help then i'm clueless. Hope someone else can help you
Phone wont even charge now. Think my next stop is the nice man at the Vodafone shop.
If you have latest cwm 5.8.4.0 then you can charge in recovery. You can also mount your sdcard to put the ROM back on there in cwm
Go on mounts menu then choose mount USB storage then plug to PC.
It should appear in computer and you can copy back over

Thankseveryone for your assistance.
What I had to in the end was to flash stock recovery . This allowed me to then factory reset which got the phone up and running, albeit, in stock, but unlocked.
Now, do I bite the bullet and load a ROM on or be thankful that I dodged a bullet?:laugh::laugh:
Again, thank you all sooooooo much!!!!!
