please save my desire!

Last night I was trying to partition my sd card and it went wrong. The sd stopped working and after turning off the phone every time I turn the phone on it goes to fastboot. It got the clockworkmod as recovery and if I try to format the sd I get the message: cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) . Is there anything I can do? Ps sorry if this post is poor im sending this from my wifes phone as my home internet is down too!

If your on froyo your SD Card need an ext3 partition to boot the phone

Use clockwork recovery to re partition.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

use gparted to partition, just make sure that you have it in this order, fat32 then ext3 then swap(if you decide to use a swap)

I got a very similar problem and still can't solve it. I did partitioned the sd card with Rom manager and then went into recovery, tried to check if it was ex3 (because i read somewhere that rom manager partitions the sd card only with ex2), and then the **** was done. Every time I boot the device it goes into fastboot, so I can't even put some rom on the SD card and try to flash the mobile phone again :S
Any tips, help or whatever? Please.

[Q] HTC Desire not recognizing any SD card, neither recognizing any connected cable

Just ran into the weirdest of problems. I had a rooted desire with Latest Clockworkmod Recovery and Villainrom. I saw some roms that required i had AmonRa so i flashed that using unrevoked. I did'nt like amonra's recovery so i used rom manager to flash clockworkmod back. It wouldn't stick permenantly, i.e. on a hard boot it'd revert back to amon ra.
Today i did the same, then asked rom manager to backup the current rom. It rebooted, amonra applied the clockwordmod update... then clockworkmod recovery started.. then started backing up the rom, upon completion it just rebooted without asking and kept on rebooting on the HTC logo, did'nt go ahead from that. I took the battery out and then re inserted it.
What happened next is weird. I user wiped the phone (using amonra) it gave me an error
Formattting SDCARD:.android_secure...
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...
Skipping format of sd-ext
After this when the rom booted, the phone refused to recognise the sd card, and the charging light wouldn't turn on when i connected a usb cable OR the charger. I tried replacing another sd card that was working on my htc hero and it wasn't recognized either. I tried my orignal HTC Desire SD card (16 gb) in the hero and it showed a 14 gb unformatted partition on linux. when i tried mounting it , it mounted correctly. I immediately copied my data off the sdcard.
Please note that i had a 512 + 32 mb ext4/swap partition besides the rest of the fat32 partition which wasn't recognized in linux. After repartitioning the sd card i tried the sd card in the desire again but it's not working. Right now i can't mount or access any sd card in the desire, nor can i use adb to connect to the desire. I tried unrevoked to patch the clockworkmod recovery again but it doesn't recognise the phone at all. I'm thinking the rom is screwed up and i'm trying to patch another rom again on the phone but i can't since i can't access the sd card.
I'd also like to mention that using the amonra i tried repartitioning the sd card after this whole mess and it did'nt give me any error, so i'm thinking it did get to access the sd card.
Please any help would be appreaciated.

ok i just figured out that it's s-on on my phone now. So now i have a htc desire with amonRA recovery and S-on with Villainrom 1.0 installed on it. It's not showing usb debugging mode when i connect the data cable, nor is it accepting any sd card.
If possible can anyone tell me how i can :
1. Turn S-on without using usb debugging etc ?
2. Use unrevoked some other way
3. Unroot the phone to root it totally over again.

i had this problem the other day.
Check out this thread. worked for me. Read it through first so you know what your going to be doing.

THANKS ! I've finally got the sd card to be read but i'm wondering that post is for the legend, will that work on my desire ? i mean those image files etc ?

Thanks for the tip man, i googled the words (which i couldn't find to express my problem) i.e. bricked usb and found my solution for the desire here http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/

[Q] bootloop when sd is in phone [leedroid]

Hello,
Since i tried flashing my phone to 3.0.5 leedroid i get the following problem.
the phone gets stuck in bootloop!
I used the zip file for the new ext3 allignment from the thread of Leedroid.
After i flashed the 3.0.5 i get dalvik cache errors.
I wiped all cache and the dalvik as well before flashing the rom.
See my logcat attached.
I can not get passed this
someone please help me!

try to mount sd card manually in the recovery after installing 3.05 and before the first boot
It solves this question for me..

There are some directions for enabling SD card in fastboot in this thread which might also help:

Found the issue!!
First of all thank you all for your help and giving out the information that might be helpfull for others.
As I wanted to put a new zip file on the FAT32 partition of the SD i noticed something:
The partition was corrupted!
So after checkinng the SD card all partitions seemed corrupted.
So after reformatting the SD card in the following order:
1. make a new fat32 partition of 2.72 GB
2 make a new ext3 partition of 512 MB
3 make a new swap-file partition of 219 MB (this size seems weird to me, but there was no more room)
After this has been done, I hooked up the phone to my pc with the Android SDK installed.
I started up the Dalvik Debug Monitor and keeped a close eye for errors.
After this i mounted the sd card to my pc again in clockworkmod.
I copied the rom zipfile again.
Reflashed the phone and made sure the SD card was mounted to the phone again.
Rebooted my phone and it worked!
Thank you all for your input.

[Q] Desire Bricked ?

I re-installed Leedroid as i was trying to get apps2sd working on an ext3 fromated sd card and upon reinstalling, it hung at the Telstra Splash screen for about 20 mins. I took the battery out and rebooted into bootloader where it displays that no image can be found on the sd card.
The computer detects the sd card however when i enter recovery mode to install zip from sd card, it displays "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0.... can't mount /sdcard".
What do i do to completely erase everything and install Leedroid again ?

Backup your SD card, format FAT32 and ext3 then flash the rom again.

I copy+pasted everything to windows earlier when everything was working, but don't have anything on the sd card to back up now. I tried formating to fat32 but the bootloader still says the same thing about the sd card, therefore i can't flash the rom.

Anyone ? i'm out of ideas. I tried a different sd card but the phone still 'cant mount'.

seems you got problem with your partition on the sd card, use you recovery to rebuild you partition or gparted to do so...
googlise gparted live cd or more friendly virualbox or vmplayer to run a complete linux distri.

Did you partition your sd-card on this way:
http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/partitioning-your-sd-card-ready-for-a2sd
If not, do it, flash the rom again and all should work.

You could try the sd card enable command?
Code:
fastboot oem enable qxdm 0
Otherwise there is a good guide on USB brick here:

Hope it helps!

[Q] Install zip from sdcard in recovery => "no files found"

Hi,
I had a stock HTC Desire. These are the steps I took:
- First I rooted using unrevoked. That worked perfectly.
- Then I did S-off using alpharev. No problem at all.
- Next I wanted to have a2sd (or mount2sd or app2sd+ or data2ext, WTF is the difference???) to finally be released of the "no memory" messaged (HTC, what were you thinking??). I didn't want to add init.d support to my stock rom, so I picked this rom, which had it built in.
- Before I installed that ROM, I used Gparted to make two partitions on the 4 gb sd card: 3 gb FAT32 and 1 gb EXT4.
- Then I installed the Cronmod ROM. During installation it asked if I had an EXT partition, I said yes.
The phone booted fine so I started to install my apps. I soon noticed my internal memory became to small again! Why wasn't that data2ext thing working?? I remembered from the rooting faq that some ROMs don't work with EXT4 partitions, so let's see if I can change it to EXT3.
I booted into Gparted again and here things started to go bad: there was nothing there! There was 2.74 gb of unallocated space!!!
Not only was there just 2.74 gb on a 4 gb card, all partitions were gone!
- I made two partitions again: 1.76 FAT32 and 999 mb EXT3. I would try to find a solution to get the invisible 1.3 gb on the sd card back later. First I wanted to have this data2ext thing working.
- When I tried to reboot I got stuck on the Alpharev "Why so serious" screen.
- wipe data/factory reset didn't work either, because I got the "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)" error. Why is that much going wrong??
- Googling learned I probably had an SD card brick, so I followed this guide. That didn't work at all. I did these two command: fastboot oem enableqxdm 0(unblock your sd-card)
fastboot oem eraseconfig(fix misc partition).
- Finally I did a "partition SD card" in recovery and that got it to recognize my sd card again.
- It still hangs on the "why so serious" screen though. So maybe I need to reinstall the rom? I put the rom on the fat32 partition, but "install zip from SD card" in recovery gives the error "no files found". Also, in HBoot, for a split second it shows some errors: something about missing zip/img files and then "no image or wrong image"
According to the Troubleshooting FAQ I need to do this:
To fix a bootloop/ stuck on HTC Screen:
[STEP1]- do a battery pull to power off the device (as this is the only way to do so when stuck in a bootloop)
[STEP2]- hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button to boot into the bootloader
[STEP3]- use the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons to navigate, and POWER to select. Navigate to RECOVERY.
[STEP4]- select "mounts & storage" and then select the following options
[STEP5]- format boot
[STEP6]- format system
[STEP7]- format data
[STEP8]- format cache
[STEP9]- format sd-ext (IF YOU HAVE IT)
[IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP]
[STEP10b]- go back to the main menu, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard", and flash a ROM which you KNOW works. If you have none, try my failsafe: CyanogenMod
- reboot system now
I did all that, but as explained, it doesn't find any files on the sdcard!
This is the info I have in HBoot:
---AlphaRev---
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
So these are my problems:
- Stuck at "Why so serious" alpharev screen.
- My SD card reports only 2.74 gb size, while it's 4 gb.
- I can't install zip files from the SD card: "no files found", while I can see they are there in windows explorer...
Please help :-(

FINALLY got it to boot again by doing this:
- recovery > advanced > partition SD card
- select 512 mb recovery, 0 mb swap
- next put the rom on the SD card from windows explorer
- install the cronmod (it could finally find the zip!!!)
- during installation select that I have an EXT partition
I can now boot my phone, but just to be sure, I checked in Gparted and I now have only one big chunck of unallocated space with size 3.22 gb :-s
How could I put the zip file on there? Where is the EXT? WTF is going on?

Do you have a microSD to SD converter so that you can view your microSD on your pc? If so you might want to check if you can acces the unlocated space on your PC and format all of it back to FAT32 before trying again.

It looks like damaged card for me, try it with other micro sd if you have one

But how did I manage to damage an SD card?
Is there any way to fix it?

You can test your card by using H2testw (google search should turn it up).
Odd you're getting problems with Gparted - never failed me yet. I wouldn't recommend using recovery to partition, although 4EXT Touch does seem to work. You mounting sd card in recovery in order to partition using Gparted?

Thanks, I'll try that H2testw when I get home.
I already tried SD Formatter (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/), to no avail.
Yes, I mount the SD card from within CWM recovery and then format with Gparted.

I have had the same problem with one of my sd-cards.
I guess it was just the card, which wasn't completely compatible, because with other cards, I didn't had the problem.
I had no problem using it with just one fat32 partition, but as soon as I made the second partition, it failed. It had something to do with alignment. Try to experiment with that...

4EXT recovery was able to kind of revive the SD Card. It formatted it to a total of 3.7 gb, so still quite a lot short of the 4 gb the card should be.
At least it is working now.
Strange... first time I've had bad experience with Gparted.

3.7 gig is quite normal.
4EXT can also check alignment of your partitions....
