Accidentally partioned SD CARD without having saved anything. HELPP!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So I tried installing Virus's ROM and messed up big time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036706
I didn't know that partitioning your SD card would erase everything. So now I'm stuck at the bootloader and the recovery screen. I can't really do much else because there are no roms on the SD card and it erased all of my backups.When I try to click on "flash zip from sdcard" it says Can't Mound SDCARD. On the install instructions for the Virus ROM, I was only able to follow numbers 3-7 and am stuck. What can I do to get my phone working normally again? Thanks in advanced!

Mount to PC in recovery and put a ROM on your sd then flash it hope that helps.

Have you fixed the problem?

Assuming you're using Amon Ra, from the main menu choose USB/MS toggle. I've always had my phone plugged in to the computer before selecting, not sure if that makes a difference. This will mount your SD card to your computer. I've noticed that when I partition my card with Amon Ra, my computer wants to fix the drive. I let it once and it acted funny, so now I just skip it. If your comp wants to scan/fix, just choose continue if you used Amon Ra.
I've never flashed that rom, so I can't help you there. You may want to put whatever rom you were on last on the card instead until you can figure it out.

SD card issue?

First off I have the 6gb SD card that came with the Evo. I have run quite a few roms and wiped SD partition when switching. Later I found that I wasn't supposed to wipe that unless I have an SD partition setup. To make a long story short I'm now running the newest fresh and when I try and install angry birds or back back breaker I get "installation unsuccessful". I tried to wipe my SD ext partition again (via ra recovery) and it said to run "wipe ext" via adb. Today I backed up my SD card on my computer and tried to repair my SD card in recovery and then it said run "fs repair" via adb. Now I'm scared to mess anything up so I was wondering if anyone guide me in running the proper commands in adb?

In the main menu, there's an option called USB-MS Toggle. Plug your phone into your computer and turn that on, and your SD card will show up as storage on your computer.
thanks !
Stupid!!!
Hehe, just kidding! I've done that before too... and I'm sure there are quite a few others on here that have made that mistake!!

its 5:30 in the morning here, and i just barely found this.. i been searching forever.. tonight..
my sdcard errored out. and my phone wont read it.. so.. i went and bought a new sdcard.. and trying to get my zips on the phone now.. thanks god.. hope i can flash my roms now..
I did this the other morning, I used a few programs and it brought my files back..I would have lost around 600 pictures.
I tried the following.
Card Recovery-http://www.cardrecovery.com/
Remo Recovery-http://www.remosoftware.com/
These will only work if you have not over written the files. I believe the card recovery is the one that brought my files back.
Ahhh ill remember this in case i do it again lol

Recuva has worked great for me in situations like these, I was able to recover all my files when the SD was somehow wiped a while back...

The best recovery tool that I've found to date is called recuva.

More than likely, you need to repartition and reformat your SD card. If you're able to, copy the contents of your card onto your computer. Afterwards, repartition and reformat the card. When you're done, copy a freshly downloaded copy of amon_RA onto your card as well as the rom you want to flash
preferably a freshly downloaded one, and then flash it. Flash the recovery first from the bootloader and then flash the rom.

My phone is working right now it just popped up 3 times I only had to fix it the first time now it just goes away in like a minute also I never partitioned my sd card but I've been thinking of doing it anyway the only thing thats been stopping me is that I've seen people having these kind of problems after partitioning so I guess that doesn't matter anymore LOL.
Thanks for your help.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You're very welcome. As for partitioning your SD card, it's very easy. Probably the easiest is probably with a card reader. It can also be done from within recovery especially with amon_RA. Simply select "partition SD card" and set the parameters to your liking.

PLEASE help!! Quick!

Hey guys, I don't find myself in need of help too often, but I really could use some now. I tried flashing decks latest 1.2x, and got stuck in a bootloop. Well, I have been having trouble flashing roms lately, so I decided to format my sd card. I took the card, and started formatting it. In the meantime, I put my old 8gb card back in the Evo to try to restore an old nandroid. My recovery (amon Ra 2.3) keeps telling me that it can't mount the sd card.
I get error
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory) E:Can't mount sd card
Well, I'm kind of stuck now. I can't restore a nandroid, because my sd card won't mount. I can't boot the phone, because my flash of deck's 1.2x won't boot, and I can't flash anything else due to not being able to mount the sd card. I'm sort of stuck. I'm really hoping there is a way for me to restore a nandroid backup via ADB without needing access to my sd card. So far, Ive found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614016, but I'm not sure if that will work, I'm about to try. Does anyone know if I can have a nandroid backup on my computer, and flash it via ADB without needing my sd card? PLEASE HELP me guys, if I've ever needed help before, it's now.
ADB does recognize my device when I'm in recovery, or when my phone is stuck bootlooping, ADB sees it then too. Is there anything I can do? Thanks a bunch
EDIT: trying that method to restore a backup doesn't work. I get the same error about the sd card when I'm in shell and type mount /sdcard. I'm starting to think I'm totally screwed here..
isn't there some way to flash a rom without sdcard? try searching for it. i'll try as well.
good luck...
Buckley,,have you tried shutting the phone down,,then reboot into recovery,,should read card then

Kyle, turn off your device and remove the SD card. Wait about 10 seconds and then reinsert the card and boot to the bootloader and from there, into your recovery. Select the MS-USB option, connect to your computer and see if it will appear as a drive. If so, it should be mounted.

I thought that there is. That's what I'm looking for. The problem is that I'm not home and have no internet. I'm connected to some crappy open internet connection and I'm having trouble browsing and searching. I know there has to be a way to flash a rom or restore a nandroid backup using ADB without an sd card. I would really appreciate it if anyone can find a link. I just want to get booted up again, and then I'll try to fix my sd card problem, hopefully. I don't know what hell went wrong here...
To the other guy that responded, thanks but I get that same error every time in recovery. I've tried shutting the phone off, booting back to recovery, taking the card, putting the card back in, etc. I get the same error every time. Even when I'm in an adb shell and type "mount /sdcard" i get teh same error as when I'm in recovery....
Hhmm,,maybe a cache/dalvic wipe and see if it'll boot on up,,

Thanks Doug. I've tried that, and so far I keep getting the same error. I'm starting to panic, lol. I was just going for a quick rom update, and now here I am. My 16gb card is almost done formatting in my Windows machine, and then I'll try with that freshly formatted card. I'm hoping I can flash a rom with ADB just to get me booted back up. Then I know calkulin has a thread on how to fix the sd card, which I will look for and try to follow. I just really wish the rom I flashed before this happened would effin boot up. It just loops at the boot animation and I can't get the damn thing up and going.
Kyle, take the card out again, make sure there is no dust, lint or smudges on its contact areas and then reinsert it. Boot into recovery and select MOUNTS. Now select Mount /sdcard at the bottom of the menu. That *should* work, my friend.
and if that doesnt work try this make sure you have the nandroid on your pc ok then format sd card then try mounting sd card and putting a nandroid or rom on it if it doesnt mount your not screwed you could just buy another sd card and a sd card reader and the nandroid that you have on the desktop and put it on the new sd card with the sd card reader mount the sd card with the s card reader and put the nandroid that you had on the desktop on the new sd card and put it inside the evo and do a restore

Don't panic, my friend. We've been doing this far too long to know better than to do that......I'm certain that the freshly formatted card will work just fine for you. Still, mounting the card in the recovery's MOUNTS menu should work.

Thanks for all the help guys. I've hit my 5 thanks limit for the day, otherwise I'd get you all a few more thanks.
Here's the update. My 16gb card finished formatting. I copied over a few of my nandroids to it, and put it in the phone. To my surprise, the card mounted and i was able to view my contents of the card from within recovery. I chose to restore one of my backups, and i got "oops, something went wrong". I think there was a problem when I copied the file over to the card, because it took FOREVER to copy, and I thought it froze up. So I htink the backup got corrupted. Anyways, I mounted USB MS toggle in recovery, and copied over a fresh rom. I successfully flashed it, and it's in the process of booting now, I hope it works.
YAAAAAA BABY IT BOOOOOTED. WORD TO BIG BIRD! Sweet, now to get back in action.
I still have no idea at all what went wrong. I also don't understand why the phone wouldnt read my old stock 8gb card that came with the phone. I got the same error on both card, but after the format it's working. Anyways, glad to be back. Thanks again for the quick, prompt, and very useful responses. I love xda. Thanks
Duuuuuude...what hboot are you on? If you have the eng bootload, you can push recovery via fastboot.
Edit: Glad you're up an running/
Whoohoo,,glad your back up and running man,,

Need help ASAP

A little while back I posted a thread asking the following.
"Just recently rooted my friend's GN2, I transfered the files to the SD card and went into CWM recovery. I'm having 2 issues.
1: The phone says there's not enough room to make a backup when there clearly is. I have about 2 gigs on the internal, but but it either says I have 3mb of free space or 0.
2: I click 'install from SD' and the only file it sees is "-clockworkmod/ ".
What am I doing wrong? I personally have an S2 and it's very similar but these two things are preventing me from flashing any rom"
The only person to respond recommended I format the sd card so I did so. However the phone still did not recognize any files in the sd card so I couldn't flash any rom. Upon startup it began boot looping and the phone is no longer activated? It can't make calls or send texts and reboots every minute upon ' failed activation'. The phone currently is useless. I'm not new to flashing roms I've been doing it for years but this is the first time I'm stumped thanks to some bad advice (not blaming that person) and it's not even my phone. Luckily I just got an htc one and I could give my friend the my s2 until the problem is fixed...any ideas how to fix it? Or unroot at least to bring in for repair?

Try using twrp instead. Sorry I couldny be more help. But I have never used cwm on this phone since I got it. Only twrp. You can find it in original dev section.

Yes use twrp. Find the latest version and flash it in clockwork. I havent used cwm since my og evo lol.
Maybe I'm old school but I'm a long time flasher and I've always just been more comfortable with cwm. But I'm not so sure it's a kernel issue?
Edit: and the issue is that I can't flash anything because I can't store anything on the sd card. I'm thinking of odining to a stock build?

The only thing I can suggest is doing a quick format on the SD card to FAT32, especially if the card is a 64 GB card. Also, some Sandisk 64 GB cards were bad from the factory, so check that too. Finally, if all else fails, try breaking the phone even more to the point it won't even boot and get a replacement.

Don't come up with one. Just take it in and show them. Before you take it in, if you can, try to reset the flash counter. If they can check that and see it isn't correct, you're in trouble. If it's reset or it can't be checked, then take it in.

Ok...what files did you transfer to the sd card? Was it the internal or external? Even 2 gigs on the internal for a backup may not be enough. I have a backup that is just over 3 gigs. As far as formatting your external sd what did you do ? Fat32? Personally TWRP is the way to go. Try to format fat 32, download a stock rooted TW rom and put on external sd, also dl TWRP recovery to external sd. Boot into cwm recovery and try to flash twrp. If that works out pull battery put back in volume up+home+power. Hopefully that gets you to twrp, if so go to wipe then factory reset. If you click on advanced it will let you wipe system which couldn't hurt. After that, back arrow on bottom of screen to twrp home screen. Click install...choose external then locate where rom is...hopefully on root of external and see if that helps.
Oh and was the phone activated prior to flashing?

Please do the following:
01). Format the SD card to FAT32 (NOT EXFAT OR NTFS) on ANOTHER computer and do NOT use the built in windows format options. Use a third party tool like guiformat.exe and do NOT USE QUICK FORMAT. (With my current sd card, windows format failed, guiformat.exe partially failed(and by failed I mean formatted fine but caused problems being seen) but I installed and used eausus partition master to regular format it to fat32 and followed the next few steps and its been working fine ever since.
02). Immediately after formatting the SD card slow format to fat32 in easus partition master create a text file on the sd card in its root directory (I've had an issue before where my SD card would not be seen or writable by certain devices if the root directory was 100% empty), before you copy any further files insert the SD card into the phone and use your recovery kernel(CWM/TWRP) to navigate to the root directory of the sd card and insure that you can in fact see the text file you created, POWER OFF THE PHONE(or alternatively unmount it in android terminal if possible) before removing or inserting the SD card(also always eject from the PC before removing, do not just rip it out off the usb slot/card reader), insert the SD card back into your PC/card reader and copy TWRP to the sd card.
03). Boot back into your current recovery and Install TWRP(if it's not already) you may prefer CWM but TWRP just causes people a lot less bugs in general.
04). Verify in the backup section of TRWP that you have explicitly selected external storage as the backup location and given the backup a name, as internal storage is selected by default, and you very well may not have enough free internal storage for the backup, regardless of whatever reasons you think you should.
05). Its probably a good idea to turn off md5 verification of the backup, I do this every time, the one time I did try to verify a backup with an md5 checksum it failed, I unchecked this option backed up restored to it and all was fine(and still is), also a good idea to uncheck md5 when installing roms/kernels/apk's as most don't have md5.
05). If the above does not work you probably have a bad SD card, try another and post back here.

There is
no external sd card in the phone. Just a 16g internal, and I've wiped pretty much everything so there shouldn't be a problem with room. I'll go out and buy an external and attempt to flash something.

Thanks. The problem is that the phone boot loops so fast that I can't stick anything on the internal. And the one time it was on long enough to, the phone still reads that there's no files there. It's why I'm in this mess in the first place, I don't know why it's not recognizing any files

If you wiped everything then you might have wiped the partitions by accident. Get an ext sd card put flashable rom on that then boot into your custom recovery and try flashing the ROM through that

That seems like the best thing...won't the phone still rely on the internal sd card though and keep bootlooping?

Odining back to stock is prooobably your best bet. No need to go through repair fees or restocking fees etc. When you can fix it in house.

It should not rely on the internal. Download mode is deep down in the bootloader. If you borked that then jtag or sending it to samsung/asurion is the only option.

Try a stock rooted rom and see if it works. Because it should at least give you the boot.img in the rom so you might be able to get past the boot screen. Hopefully it will re partition your phone. Im not for sure but its worth a shot.
