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.

Download a new rom from the dev section here.
Put rom on SD card through sdcard reader on PC
Boot into clockwork and flash new rom

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

My epic 4g touch is doing bootloop in the 4g screen. Need help. any ideals how to recover this. I tried flashing rom but clockwork sees no files in external sd card. Plus, how do you transfter files to your internal sdcard in clockwork?Any help is appreciated. Thanks
When I had to recover from a bootloop I actually had to remove my sdcard, put the phone in download mode and reflash it. Flashing with a .tar on your SD card has caused many problems for me =/
As a rule, here is my emergency ROM evacuation plan:
1) Can I get to recovery? If so, I will simply wipe everything (factoryh reset) then reflash fresh.
2) If not, then just boot to download mode (power+volDown) and Odin over a clean kernel (most bootloop issues are going to be from a kernel issue)
3) If all that doesn't work, then flash a stock rom from scratch using Odin
It sounds like 1 is not an option to you. I don't think you can copy from sd to internal without mounting them on a pc and doing the copy on that side.
In any event, you are gonna need a PC.
HTH
You can put files on your SD card by enabling SD mount somewhere within cwm. However I would listen to that guy^
That is probably the best way to "abort" a ROM

Oh and I wanted to ask: what ROM did you install because SD mounting doesn't work with any of the AOSP ICS ROMs...

If your on amon ra plug your phone into your computer and in recovery enable usb-ms toggle and then you will be able to put a ROM on your SD card

Do the same thing for clockwork but instead of usb-ms toggle go to mounts and then you will see a option that says usb mass storage

I'm doing this as of the moment.
Ok,got that right now,What's next? just go to yur rom dowloads,right? Maybe flash vr.superwipe before I proceed to a new rom? No go,Gets stuck at box with arrow to little andriod guy,Well what now should I toggle anything? Just choose apply zip?
On the computer download a ROM and then put the Rom onto the root of the SD card of the phone.then you will have a ROM to flash in recovery

I have a feeling this beta Kings bliss rom,screws evrything up,I know it's beta ,but....It worked good for me at first,till week later,WTF...
Are you just trying to reflash a ROM onto your phone or are you wanting to recover everything that you deleted from your SD card?
If you are wanting to recover the data you deleted from your SD card I recommend mounting the card to your computer via your recovery and then running file scavenger (free to download) to recover the deleted files.
after you recover your files with filescav then you can reformat the SD card, replace the contents of the card, and continue on your merry way without having to start over from scratch.
I'm trying to dowload a ROM to the sd card,I extracted files to sd card via recovery and micro sd adapter,Then I try to choose zip,apply and always says no such files,always says E-can't open sd/card/update.zip,Installation aborted...I tried 3 diff sd cards,even bought a brand new one with nothing on it,the files are there on the card but...Am I missing something here??? Always worked in the past.... And Yes,I'm trying to re-flash a diff ROM,I'm staying away from the KingsBliss Beta Rom till it gets striaghtened out...

Thank you,Concordium,I'm going to try this before drasitic measures has to be taken,but I did get everything back,to my suprize...This may work for me,!!! Naaa,Didn't do anything,It's telling me,"No sd-ext found...etc..Generating md5 sum....I will go on with your info,press on..I'm detirmined to fix this..Thank you for the help...
Ok,I backed up to the new cm7 rc1,got the phone going again,but what's with the sd-ext not found???
Nothing important from what I know its just if you were to partition ur sd card.. Also I can upload mikg amon_ra that u can flash via bootloader if you need it. I was getting amazing sd speeds with that recovery...
Really?I will try this,but I have to delete the 2.3.5 google stuff first,It kept rebooting on me after dowloading a app from the market,I just wanted to try it,This rom is my brand new back-up,No more stock evo rom anymore,I just want to get the sd-ext working again,Any gapps files floating around for 2.3.7?? For some reason,any file installs from sd,but phone tells me ist's empty,I will try the partition,I just want the sd cards I have working 100% again,I have 2GB worth of Roms to use on my computer,I just like flashing,I guess...But yeah I will research mikeg Armon-ra,where Do I look??I was thinking about it when I was figiuring how to get the evo going again...
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.

Cool just tried this and it works great. This makes complete sense. Now is there anyway to mount my 32GB card in Clockwork mod?

Look in the CWM thread. Pretty sure it's possible, but it takes an editing/adding of code
