Get a SD card reader?
i don't have one, is there another procedure through the phone?
No need for card reader. I did it using the one in rom manager, but as you are not able to use this, i would go with the pushed recovery from the older rooting methods from modaco. You just enter the black recovery screen with the !
Then your insert the cable, and run a batch file on your computer. This recovery should have the ability to partitionate.
just search for the r5 root or pm me for link (cant post links as i'm a new user)
You must use the file called "recovery-windows.bat" or the one for your system.
but if you have clockwork installed, the black screen with <!> will not appear becaus clockwork recovery is loaded automaticly.
if i push the recovery from the r5-root img (while beeing in clockwork recovery) it seems like there are both recoverys running at the same time.
how can i uninstall clockwork recovery or block it from beeing autostarted ?
It doesn't. Normally it boots into normal recovery, and then you have to apply update.zip (which is Clockwork Recovery). THEN it boots into CMR.
ye it is because you have flashed the unrevoked permanent recovery. I prefer the fakeflash as it is easy to change and work just as well.
In that case if there is another easy method to format the sd other than using your computer. I have seen som suggestions on using the amonra recovery.. You could try that.
And i only think you can remove the permanent recovery by flashing stock ruu for now, but then you will have to reroot, as it also unroot the device.
pain in the arse isn't it.. I came across this exact dilemma today
hopefully the unrevoked guys will sense this and make some changes on their next release?
Ok managerd to do it by flashing the ROM
Thanks for your help guys

Hi, my phone got bricked using GPart live to turn my ext 2 into a 3 partition. Everything went fine using the program, turned off Usb storage, went into market and tried to download a program, when it started to install the screen when black.
Now I cant boot with sdcard in, I don't come past the white HTC screen
Without SDcard it starts loading the system but the loading is a never ending loop.
Tried to format SD with fakeflash, dosent help
Tried reflashing my rom with wipe and everything, dosent help
Any ideas?

yes that would be why
lol
you should have thought about it.
only thing I can think of is trying to flash a official HTC RUU update so you will get back to stock and will have to re-root.
If you have wiped everything and re-flashed then I dont know what else to suggest.

Yeah, I guess that its my best chance. Do you know which files that has to be on the SD for fake-flash and where I can find them?
just need the update.zip on the root of the card.
Have u tryed using AM recovery?
If u load it like the clockwork recovery u can partiotion your sd-card in recovery mode,
works every time for me ;-)
http://www.multiupload.com/61STV8CPHL <-- fake flash version just like clockwork but whit partitioning options.

Yes that could work, if the ROM you have flashed requires a ext partition, it will boot loop if you dont have a SD card in. So use clockwork to re-partition the card with a ext.

Im on DeFrost right now, does it require ext? I have to find a micro sd reader then I get right on partitioning.
Edit: I've been thinking if this don't work. Is it possible for someone to make an image of their full rom so that I can try and flash that? Because what I've understood the ones that are up for downloading e.g. DeFrost are not 100% complete.
Maybe some developer know's what could cause a boot loop so I (with some help) could make a flash containing just those files.
u can also try booting recovery, mount SD-USB..
remove update.zip from your root sd.
Place the file i posted above in your root (rename to update.zip ofc's)
Restart phone and enter recovery again (now u get a new recovery) go to partition menu and repartition your SD.
I loooove this forum! Thanks for all the help people, reformat the sd solved my problem. Thanks a thousand times!
Need Help!!! Long story but I have ClockworkMod Recovery installed on my Evo and when I start my phone it goes straight into recovery and will not go any further. Help!!!!!

Is there an option for USB toggle mode in Clockwork? I know Amon_RA has it. Otherwise if you have a microSD card reader, you can put the files on that way.
So recently, Ive got my SE Xperia Play Bootloader Unlocked and I tried flashing the Darkforest ICS V4.1.23 rom onto the device. So I installed CWM 5.0.2.7 onto my phone with the help of CWM Auto Installer App. Then I reboot the phone into recovery mode and flashed the Darkforest ICS rom onto it after wiping all cache data and factory wipe and stuffs. However , when I reboot it I realised it was actually stuck at the Sony Ericsson White Words. So I guess it was properly due to the Kernel. Thus, I flashed the Darkforest ICS kernel onto the device through flashtool. But when I reboot the phone, it was stuck at the Sony logo for a long time, and it won't load. Afterward I entered the recovery mode of the kernel and checked it out. I therefore tried to flash the Darkforest ICS rom once again after wiping all data (Factory Reset and stuffs). However, when I'm about to choose zip to install from SD Card, there was an error saying that the SD card can't be mounted. I tried flashing other kernels like Advanced Stock Kernel but when I try to install zip from SD card, there will be an error saying SD Card cannot be mounted.
The only time I am able to flash the rom is when the device is in its original kernel.
Currently, I have restored the original SE firmware onto my Xperia Play but I really want to flash Darkforest ICS rom onto my phone. If I am doing the wrong thing, please tell me the correct methods. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Someone pls help !!!
Flash the stock ftf for your model. Boot it to set up. Power off then fastboot the kernel for your ics rom. Boot into recovery then wipe data, cache, dalvik. Then install from sd. There's no need for cwm app if your using custom kernel. Most come with recovery.

:angel: first of all calm down. find some good rom and a kernel first. im using MIUI cutom kernel. go to MIUI website find the insatallation procedure. download the things. if you cant go into fastboot mod. connect the phone to the pc and while conecting press "search botton on your play device" then it'll be recognized by the flash tool. then flash the kernel and fallow the steps given by MIUI... all the best.. :angel:
Hello guys,
It seems I did something stupid and now I cant get into recovery.
I had CM10 alpha 6 with CWM 6.0.2.7. Just to experiment with the stock rom again, I flashed FAW version 3 with the CWM recovery. So I rebooted the phone and everything seemed to went fine.
Then I wanted to flash extra packages for theming etc. But phone can not go into recovery. With the button combination v up, home and power the samsung logo just flashes and phone goes off again. I could get into download mode. But it takes couple of tries.
I tried to flash CWM via adb and it seemed to to be flashed without any errors. But still could not get into recovery.
Do you guys have any suggestions as to what to do? Should I try to flash stock rom via odin and start from scratch? Or do you have a better approach? I dont want to get stuck on sam firmware as I love CM10 .
I am cursing my stupidity. Why do you even want to ecperiment with stock rom.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1 : OK I took the sdcard off and took the battery out waited 10 to 15 minuted. Tried again to boot into recovery without the sdcard. Voila it worked.
I do not know what did the trick. Was it trying without sd or waiting without battery, I dont know. But happily I am back to CM10. Pheewww...

Edit 2: Ok it seems it was the SD card I had. Again I had the same issue and I could not get into recovery. Moment I take it out, I can get into recovery. For some weird reason the SD card I have causes this issue. I will check with another sdcard soon.
Fiuuh. congratulations bro ..
you add the solution too. it will be a great information for other people
My suggestion would be to delete and then recreate all partitions on the SD Card.
