HI,
I have a rooted Desire running Pinky Rom
I recently bought a new 16GB card and am having problems with i. I formatted it throught the recovery menu and have copied over all the files from the old SD card.
However, now when I put in the new card the phone gets stick on the White HTC initial screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
(The old SD card was partitioned but I was going to do that through ROM manager and restore my apps through Titanium)
Thanks
That'll be the problem, old data needed by the ROM will be on the old SD card. You'll need to wipe and start again (or partition it using Amon RA/GParted)

So basically go into Recovery, and wipe everything, and then try and re-install the ROM using the new card?
Just a wipe should be fine - the ROM should then start and you can then partition it. I'd, personally, change to Amon RA and partition it before the first boot of the ROM but that's just me...
I say this in that it should work after a wipe BUT I'd wait for confirmation first. I assume if you put your old card in it works fine?
Yeah old card works as normal.
Will try the wipes (left the new card at home so will have to wait until after work!)
Never heard of Amon RA so will google that now and try and figure out what it is!
It's another custom recovery, like Clockwork Mod...I use it now as it has more options than Clockwork Mod - search for it on here, it's in the Developers forum
Amon-ra is arguably the best recovery around and on many android devices is the only option (or the only option everyone uses).
Excuse my ignorance, but it is an app that I download?
No, its a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod

Right,
I wiped it, and then the phone got by the white screen. I had to reset my APN settings as they were blank but managed that.
But I am now getting an Error manage when I try and connect to WIFI.
I have searched around here and all the problems seem to relate to updates to 2.2 and gold cards.
My phone was already on 2.2 and I have never used a goldcard in my life....not even sure what one is.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this??
Thanks guys
So my phone now will only reboot up to the HTC Incredible white screen. I'm not even sure what the issue is, all i did last before it got stuck was erase data on an old sd card i had in the phone. Then I just did a reboot and it froze on the white screen.
I'm running GB evervolv 2.3.2 with 2.6.37.4 incredikernel.
I can get into HBOOT but when i click on recovery it takes me into fastboot everytime.
What can i do to fix this????
Sorry please move this thread to the Q&A section, i thought that's where I was posting it, my bad.
Go to the Clockwork Recovery thread and download the update for a different version and try getting that to flash via bootloader. That way you can at least get into recovery if you need to flash new. Just to clear it up, did you use your phone to delete stuff off the old card, by using Astro or ES file explorer? I know ES file explorer has root access so is there a chance you could've deleted a system file on accident? All it takes is a click of the SD card icon and you're in root instead of SDcard. Also this is probably a thread more for the Q&A subforum, just an fyi
i deleted an old sd card that i don't even use for my phone, i was just putting it in there to clear out whatever was left on it. so i could use it new.
And it still bootloops even when you put your normal SD card back in?
yup, i dunno what it's deal is.
I remember an older version of cm7 on the nook color warned against formating sd cards because it accidentaly formats the boot partition, this may be a bug that exists in the rom your using.
at least you can get into hboot, you should be able to download ruu image and flash it in hboot. this would get you back to stock, then root and install clockwork, and then restore your latest nandroid.
Flash this recovery in hboot
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
It should at least give you a working recovery.
i have to rename things as update.zip in order for hboot to flash them right??

NO leave it PB31IMG.ZIP.
hboot can only see that name. if you rename it hboot will not see it at all.
also make sure your card is formatted as FAT32
got it into recovery so i'm just wiping and restoring, thanks for the help!
ok now i'm getting a bootloop on the cm7 boot screen...i just went to flash that new instead of my nandroid because the nandroid was from an older rom.
Did you wipe everything? Davik, Cache, Data, etc?
wiped data and cache...didn't do davik because i've never had to in the past. but i'll give it a try.
would i need to update CMW from version 2.0+ to 3 in order for cm7 to work? because it's still bootlooping
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
i was on MIUI 1.3.25 (the newest GB release) and i was formatting an sd card and when i restarted my phone i got stuck at the splash screen! i have been able to boot back into cwm recovery but even when i wipe and flash, nothing works.
i booted into recovery and tried to restart from there - failed
i reflashed 3.18 (wiped cache/dalvik) - failed
i wiped all data and reflashed 3.18 - failed
wiped all, flashed 3.25, fixed permissions - stuck at splash screen again
restored an old MIUI (v1.1.15) - stuck at splash screen
pleaseee let me know if you figure this out
edit:
i ran the RUU and got stock to start working. i'm about to root and try flashing something

Are you getting errors when you wipe?like when you wipe data does it say error can't mount or anything like that.... I have a feeling you may have to flash an Ruu and then reroot
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
no, no errors. but i flashed the RUU and rerooted and everything works just fine. I flashed MIUI again and it worked perfect
thanks!
I figured that's what you would have to do glad you are back running

I always mount my sdcard in a linux and format/fix/repartion, or at least let Clockwork Recovery do it. I have never found a Sense, Vanilla, or AOSP ROM that handled SD partition operations very well, without at least a little tragedy.

This tends to be things go as far as ROMs partitioning my sd, always back it up externally and format/partition before transferring stuck back over to it while in phone.

You should switch to Amon Ra. I REALLY need to put a link to it in my signature, but get the PC36IMG.zip file of Amon Ra in the development section, put it on your SD Card and reboot with Vol dwn\Pwer. When it comes up, it'll scan and ask if you want to update. Hit pwr up for yes, then it will flash Amon Ra.
Then the phone will reboot, and do that scan again, this time say no. and you will get to recovery.
Go to Wipe, then hit wipe All User Data/Factory Reset.
Then wipe each sub category EXCEPT the one that says SD Card. Just don't wipe that one, or it will erase your card.
When you've done that, flash your ROM. Sadly, the backups you did with CWM are useless now, but you shouldn't have this problem again.
Also, if you are using ROM Manager, don't.
thanks! i dont think my evo is on disk driver so how will i get this on to my phone?

If you've done a complete wipe, it is beneficial at times that you reformat your card and update your radios prior to flashing Synergy. Doing those two things often results in a successful flash of that particular rom. If you decide to reformat your SD card, please be sure to transfer the contents of it to your computer or external disk drive first.

How long are you waiting at the White EVO screen?
posting & replying from my EVO 4G
ok when i try to download the zip file my pc just show a white page?
i wait like a few hours i went to sleep
Look in DougJamal's signature. He has a link directly to the file
Also, what browser are you using?
how do i put the file on my sdc?
Sorry, I got away from my computer.
If you have a card reader, just take the card out of your phone and use the card reader, or if you have a different phone you can put it in for a few mins to get the file.
You DO have recovery now, right?? CWM??
Does CWM have usb-toggle so you can connect to you computer in recovery?
how do i put it on my sdc?
yes it do have that, i think i have recovey , when i push recover it ask me t pick one , i do n the phone just reboot to the evo white screen.( im lose) ... thats another thing when i try to get the file i get a blank page?????/
i think i got it , i just had to flash a rom? i hope i got it
ok, this has gone far enough!!!!
i recently flashes from Virus' kingdom to R2R lightning 1.1 and thing were great for about 2 weeks, the i flashed the V6 script (i know you cant flash a script, just used flash for lack of better word).
A few days later i noticed dramatic slow down, & after trying everything in the book , decided to switch roms. I went for the new 3.5 port the Kingedrunny 0.2, then about an hour later, i re flashed 0.3 using the firerat method & BAM bootloop.
I've formatted, wiped , superwiped, re partitioned, but i cant ge a 3.0 rom to flash.
I've managed to get Sense 2. whatever roms to flash without a prob, and even got a sac's 7 rom to work from an old nandroiid backup, but nothing new will work.
I ultimately end up hung at the boot screen, waiting on a sign from the phone gods., & the sac's 7 back up is setup with metropcs setting (no good now that im on boost).
any help would be great,since Im going gray trying to figure this one out.
UPDATE:
I GOT IT!!!!!!!
dont know if this helped but,
installed an old micro sd
Found a thread about fixing a unrecognized sd card

For one, those are big ROMS. Are you using a partitioned SD Card with A2SD?? I'd recommend it.
sd card is partitioned, 32 swap 2gb ext 2 & 3, using 2.3 & clockwork. ive been stuck at the boot screen for 33 min & the phone is fully charged. its another post here with the same problem. ive never installed cm7 on this evo , so that cant be a factor.
Use amon ra as your recovery instead. Go download virus superwipe zip. Wipe everything. Flash the superwipe. Flash your ROM and you'll be chillin. Cm7 has nothin to do with your flashing process

ill give it a try, but i think i finally bricked it . i can only go into boot loader, ive tried flashing a ra recovery img , but thats what i think bricked it. gonna try to use a stock ruu to retore everything over & start from scratch.
That's a good idea. Run the RUU,. use Amon Ra, and you don't NEED those superwipes. Just wipe everything except SD Card in Amon Ra and you'll be fine. (And don't wipe battery stats if your battery isn't at 100%)
Still no good, but i did manage to get recovery running again. Never tried the ruu, dont wanna chance screwing up the meid since its on boost. I think ill do a nandroid backup of the rom i have running now, then try another 3.0 rom if that doesnt do it then ill bite the bullet
ok, ive come to the conclusion that i've managed to corrupt my system (it came to me in a dream). not sure how i did it, but its the only thing that makes sense. im unable to flash any rom with ANY element of sense 3.0.
the question now is how do i repair my system files & file structure without totally bricking my phone
If you ever use firerat and want to remove it, get amon RA 2.3. Drop the pcimg36.zip on the root of the SD. Reboot into hboot and load the recovery from there. It will reapply the amon RA recovery.
Firerat. Mods the recovery, so to remove it you have to start from scratch,with a new recovery install.
....wipe....flash your rom of choice...
good to know, this gave me hell. too bad you didnt tell me week and a half ago lmao
King's shooter is working pretty well for me. On v4 hardware.
I have been using the very stable pc36img spring lovers version. I flashed a bunch of roms yesterday like I usually do. The last one was the miui rom from yesterday. It didn't work. tried to do a nandroid update but could not. Then I used the pc36img that has worked well for a while but everything updated except the system. it said failure-UZ. luckily later I was able to instal a hybrid rom with MANY bugs. I no longer can upload my contacts. If you have an idea or can point me in the direction of a pc36img that may solve this I would greatly appreciate it. I know I should have moved my backups to the sd card but I messed up here. Please help. Thanks
Honestly you should stop flashing roms as PC36IMG because you'll forget what they are eventually. Download the rom you want, place it on your sd card, then do a full wipe, and flash it in recovery, boot up, and you should be fine.
That is what I do. but after flashing yesterday's miui rom from the zip file my system wouldn't let me do a nandroid backup. In desparation I used my pc36img update and now a I am screwed

yesterday I flashed a bunch of roms from the sd card but something happened after the miui zip file
pc36img
in desparation I used the pc36img update. Now I am looking for a way to fix the system update part of the pc36img update which doesn't work. I only use the pc36img when nothing else works.
can anyone point in the direction of some good pc36img files. I am very desperate here. I have tried everything
Take it to Sprint, tell them it just broke. They will happily load stock GB, then you can start over.

pc36img
I couldn't wait. I tried it and it again said Fail-UZ when updating the system. it also said image unzipping fail. Any other ideas?
The only PC36IMG's you should ever flash, really is recovery and RUU. Everything else you should do in recovery with a flashable zip.

now I can use roms but when running pc36img (sprint lovers) it always sais fail-uz (failure unzipping) should I just ignore this and move on??? I don't really know the significance of this. I can flash working roms now but something makes me feel uncertain. Why can't I update the system with the ruu? any other ideas?

ok this is all i can think of:
1 - get the original pc36img.zip file and put it in your sd
2 - delete the amon ra pc36img.zip that you have
3 - go into bootloader and when asked to update hit yes
4 - when asked to reboot hit yes
5 - if your phone reboots fine (i will give it a pretty good amount of time) download rom manager
6 - in rom manager flash Clock Work Mod (CWM)
7 - Then make a back up (optional).
8 - scroll down in Rom manager and flash alternate recovery (this will give you amon ra w/o having to put the pc36img.zip into your sd card.
9 - do what you wanted to do at first.

You guys are talking about PC36IMG.zip as if its a ROM that is being flashed. Sprint Lovers, if I am not mistaken, is a ROM that should be flashed via recovery like all ROMs should be. You should not be flashing PC36IMG.zip files through Bootloader unless you are updating radios, RUU back to stock, splash screen updates, etc. It sounds like you are spending a lot of time flashing things via bootloader and that is what got you in this mess to begin with. Can you get into recovery? If so then download any ROM, enter recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache/data, flash ROM, and then quit using the bootloader before you permanently screw up your phone. This problem should be able to be fixed without the use of a PC36IMG.zip file. Because you've gotten flash happy in your bootloader and as of right now you can't tell us exactly what you've flashed.
If you cant get into recovery then just download Amon Ra v2.3, flash it, and then do the steps I mentioned above. It's not difficult. Just stop getting flash happy with your bootloader.
There is a version of Sprint lovers that can be flashed thru bootloader
And for jj that might just mean the pc36img is corrupted you can download a new one but I say just nice on and use recovery instead of bootloader

"Warranty's" can be restored
pc36img probs
hmmm? I have tried everything as described above. maybe my sprint lovers pc36img has been corrupted. but I really don't think so bc I saved it in many different sdcards and in my computer. Should I try another .zip? can anyone point me to other pc36img files that may help. I must say that I do not flash anything by pc36img, but after I flashed hybrid I couldn't do anything. In desperation I tried my sprint lovers pc36img assuming I could go back. I had to many backups saved and it told me that I didn't have enough space when I tried to do a nandroid backup. I guess the take home message is to save nandroid backups to the sd card also. unfortunately mine is lost.
