Earlier today I flashed to a new rom and wanted to revert back using a nandroid backup - i tried to move my backups into clockwork folder so I could use clockwork recovery and thats when all hell broke loose
I ended up getting in an endless reboot and when I went into recovery my SD card wouldn't mount. I tried EVERYTHING including the RUU.exe - but no luck it wouldn't complete, SO I was able to add the PC36.IMG (or whatever the exact spelling is) to the SD and it restored that (I used the newest one Toast posted in the 2nd step rooting thread)
Now finally I'm back into android but I have no SD or USB support and again stuck.. Now when I try to reboot recovery I can't even use the update.zip because my phone can't mount the SDCARD within recovery or android. So now I have no idea what to do... Can anyone help? Should I try the RUU.exe on the computer again now that I'm back in android? I don't know if it will work because it seems I have no USB support - I can't ADB or anything.
I posted this in the general section but wasn't getting any hits - sorry if reposting is not allowed I figured more people here could help me fix this quickly!

Hi there XDA Developers
I have a problem with my HTC Desire, that it gets stuck on the white screen with green HTC logo.
I have been using Neophytes AuraxTSense 8.1.3 for a long time, due to this problem. I wanted to test the new "true" Gingerbread ROMs, so i flashed a new ROM and the recommended radio.
I wipe everything - Data, cache, dalvik and battery.
When i reboot it get stuck on the logo screen as before mentioned.
I made a new partition on my SD card, because i read somewhere that it might be the problem that i was having. It formatted my SD card. So i don't have my recovery's anymore.. i thought they were saved on the phone itself :/
The ROM i have recently flashed/is flashed now is Leedroid 3.3.5
I hope you can help me..
If you need further information, ask me to elaborate
Thanks

1st WARNING
So, now that it has been moved to the Q&A,
can someone help me?
I have been using the search, but i did not seem to find anything that could solve my problem.
Hold down and power, wait a moment then choose 'recovery', does this take you into your recovery? If not, find the right ruu for your desire and flash back to stock. Unless you are s off, and have sdk installed that's your only option I think.
Yeah, it does take me to recovery.
But, wipes doesnt work.
Nor does Clear Storage
Did u restore ur system in recovery?
Ur phone seems to turn into semibrick.
There are some ways to fix it,use google.
There are no recoverey, due to the format on the SD card.
I made a log, and mounted the USB storage from recovery

That guide needs the phone to be fully booted :/

You have a few choices:
1 - Restore your phone from a Nandroid backup using the recovery console.
2 - Restore your phone from a Nandroid backup using Fastboot (if recovery doesn't work)
3 - Download and Transfer a new ROM image to your phone through recovery mode / by putting your SD card into your computer. Re-flash the new ROM and see if you get any further.
The issues you are describing are all too common, which is why you have received very little help. Do some searching with google and sort as much of it out for yourself, you'll learn much more that way.
Hey all! So, a couple weeks back, I flashed a BETA ICS ROM onto my Inspire (Desire HD). Being my normal ignorant, and noob-like self, I completely ignored the fact that the thread said "DEVS ONLY!"
Well, flash forward a couple of weeks, and my Inspire is all but bricked. The ROM did not have mobile data yet, did not have a connection to the micro-SD card, and it was not touchscreen ready yet. I have tried ADB, but to no-avail, my file system knowledge and overall lack of knowledge put me quite a predicament.
I have flashed many ROMs before, but I sincerely messed up big time on this try. So, would any of you be able to help me find a cure for this important issue? Is the fix really simple and easy, and I am just a bonehead?
Thanks!
Not sure what your issue is. You never clearly stated. Does the phone not boot? Stuck in the splash screen? you want to flash a new rom?

Oops, sorry! My problem is that my phone is stuck on the developer ROM, and I would like to fix it somehow. So, yes, I would like to get another ROM, but I have to remove this one first. The phone itself works great, but with no wi-fi, mobile data, and no touchscreen support, it is hard to live with.
Your nowhere near bricked. Going to ask the basics. Did you make a backup before hand? Did you have another rom on your SD card.?
If you answered yes to either then simply boot into recovery and flash the rom/ backup. You mentioned flashing roms before so I left out the steps.
If you answered no then you have two options. You can mount the SD card from within cwr. So download a rom on your PC. Mount the sd card, then flash away. Or take out SD card and use an adapter/other phone to transfer a new rom.
I was not smart enough to back up onto a computer, but I did back up onto the SD card. The only problem with this is that the ROM, and my computer, will not recognize that there is in fact an SD card inserted into the phone. So, in other words, it's like not having an SD card at all.
CWR will still read the sd card. Trust me. boot into CWR and restore your backup. And you be good as gold
Thanks! But, what exactly does CWR stand for? Haha, I'm not the most knowledgeable on the topic of Android, but is it like Clock Work Mod?

yeah. CWR stands clockworkmod recovery
Okay, in that case, I'm not sure. All of my old files (CM7, CWM, etc.) were on the SD card, and it is unreachable. I have tried to boot into CWR, but it just gives me a black screen. I feel like this thing is just unable to be fixed!
its fixable. just the black screen in CWR is an obstacle. worst case is you have flash an ruu and start over with the whole rooting. i remember reading about the black screen in CWR give me a few minutes to find them to see what to do next
Okay! Thanks a bunch!
Pull the battery and put back in
Press and hold vol-down
Press power and bootloader will start
Select recovery using vol keys and press power
If you have a backup (you really should, and and if you don't consider this experience a learning one), restore it by selecting the backup / restore option
If no backup, goto mounts and select as storage, plug usb into pc and copy your favorite Rom over, then select back and flash from zip, select the zip and you should all be back up
But please, please I'm all for people learning and experimenting, but might be worth reading some of the basics guides and notes on roms before flashing the next one. Oh, and if I forgot to mention.... Do a backup before flashing ANYTHING saves heartache later, the enjoy

ok i couldn't find the specific thread i was looking for. i remember it being stickied but couldnt find it. did find something that might be usefull but it depends on if you have access to an sd card adapter or other phone to transfer the file needed to reflash CWR. If not i would suggest trying to see if flashing an ruu to help.
edit- I'm confused now. thought you said that when you boot into recovery all you get is a black screen?
I have already Unlocked my phone, all went very well and very easy to do, I am now looking into "rooting" it, I found this guide and was wondering, is this the right guide for my phone.
http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I only got mine a few days ago, it is on the latest firmware, as far as I know, and after 10 mins of phone getting switched on, I had an update to do, that all completed to.
Would appreciate any and all help, I know you guys do a fantastic job and it's great to see the combination of knowledge sharing and working along side "hackers"/developers and even sometimes the mighty manufacturers, to bring the best functionality and usability.

Well since your already unlocked, just head here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
and get the latest clockworkmod recovery and fastboot flash it. once that is done boot into recovery & make a backup. now on to the fun stuff. find the Rom you like & copy it to your internal storage. make sure to read the roms developers main few posts. they all will have there own instructions on how to flash there rom properly. Now keep in mind that all roms on here are pre rooted so no need to "root" your device before hand. just boot to fastboot, flash the roms boot.img. then to recovery, perform a full wipe (data,& system)and flash the rom. once booted your done set it up & enjoy
p.s. here is a great sticky to read thru, it has every link your ever gonna need to read up on the device & how to properly do everything if your unsure of what your doing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603905
Hi there, thanks for the quick reply, when I do the cwm, will this wipe my sdcard. Is there an exact guide on how to do the cwm or any precautions to do before hand.
What are the commands for accessing phone to do this please, I know it's "cd " something.
Just don't want to brick it, this thing is a beautiful thing.
Okies, I have installed cwm via using the auto installer, it works a dream, "Props to dev for this" I am now doing a backup, will this backup everything on phone and sd card or just the phone internal/rom, if not is there a tool, that backs up everything, internal and sd storage to one image, that can be re flashed, if things go wrong.
As the recovery image gets stored on phone, I have made 2 backups and would like to delete 1 of them, how is this done. Many thanks in advance

Nothing will back up your sd card. So never wipe it unless you need to. I copy all my card data to my pc for safe keeping just incase.

Many thanks, I found the 2 backup images and left one there, many thanks for the advice.
Hi there, I use a proggy called Wondershare MobileGo I have backed up everything, contents wise, contacts, videos, music, sms and contacts, will I need to clone my sd card, if so do I do it with CWM and can I send it to my pc via that.
Hello. I need your advise!
Situation:
Some time ago, i was using leedroid 3.x and it was very satisfactory
However, at one day, it said like "No SD card detected" at notification bar,
and I rebooted, it just looped Leedroid booting screen
Went to recovery, reflashed, factory reset, delete data all, new SD, no SD, did everything i can, however whatever rom i put in there it just looped booting screen
I went to HTC service center they somehow they fixed my phone although they knew i rooted mine.
Question:
1. Is this a well known problem? I just went to service center and living in fear because of my ignorance? I searched some articles about brick however couldn't find matching cases with me.
2. If not, I suspect that the custom rom "moved" some vital system files on SD, therefore any rom couldn't boot. How realistic my suspicion?
3. Most importantly, how can i prevent this? my phone was practically bricked and it was a pure luck i could get service.. and this time i flash a custom rom, i dont want to live in fear..
That's all. Thanks in advance !!
1. not sure how widespread it is, but sounds like sd card malfunctioning more than phone problem, or possible USB brick.
2. you're correct. Leedroid 3.x roms move parts to sd-ext. this is why new sd or no sd wouldnt boot. sd card has to be correctly partitioned using 4ext recovery (requires s-off) or gparted. do not use minitool and/or rom manager
3. don't know, at a minimum proper partitioning as stated above. it wasn't bricked at all because you could get to recovery. you probably could have flashed RUU, s-off and rooted again using revolutionary. in future, for any troubleshooting, consult bortak's guide stickied to top of Q&A.
Thank you! I WILL Consult FAQ in XDA if something like that happen again.
(though at that time I didn't know about XDA T.T)
(not to mention i am struggling with so many acronyms and jargons going around here..)
And please if you can clear up one more thing for me..
So if the leedroid and/or any future custom rom i want to install, move some system file to SD card, and the SD card goes wrong,
same boot-looping happens, then
Go to recovery
Flash RUU (<- i searched and i think RUU means offical stock rom.. )
- This process restore system files and therefore go back to the state before rooting, so the phone can boot however it is not rooted
Root again since the phone is now a reborn virgin
Flash new custom room or whatever
Is this the logic behind reviving process? Did i understand correctly? I read the sticky article at the beginning of the forum, but i could not understand the full meaning behind troubleshooting process written there..
Thank you in advance!

the troubleshooting guide has saved many people, takes time to understand it all. it's easy to panic when the phone is not booting
RUU should be your last resort, because you lose all your data. keep your contacts backed up to google, and have a recent nandroid backup saved on your PC just in case. but yes RUU is a stock unrooted firmware for you to start fresh.
in your case i would have:
- made a nandroid backup in recovery
- backed up the sd card to PC
- reformatted and repartitioned the sd card (4ext or gparted)
- restored nandroid
not all roms move system files to sd card, check each rom's requirements in the first post (hboot, sd-ext partition size), or search the thread.
