I'm dealing with a very very weird issue
Recently i flashed ICE beta 6 rom but it was slow and not good enough for daily driver, so I decided to restore latest nand backup from my last sense 2.3 rom
I did as usual. Reboot to recovery. Noticed that sdcard is recognized as 'null' but did not pay attention to it (which seems to be very stupid now)
I wiped all the partition and system and cache and factory reset etc... as usual
Then i chose restore but it said "error can't mount sdcard"
Tried to mount /sdcard but it said error
So i thought, ok we could try powering off and detach/attach the sdcard again
I powered it off, and now i can only enter Fastboot. Everytime when choosing BOOTLOADER, it enters but then i cannot use Vol up + Vol down + power to navigate through options. Have to pull the batt off to turn the whole thing off.
But when i remove the sdcard, the navigation buttons are MAGICALLY working again! But it does not make any sense because i need the sdcard to restore!!!!
So, any one, help me, please!!!
Very appreciated and thank you in advance!
Somebody helps me please!!!!!!!!!! Super urgent
Maybe your sd is messed up. Put the sd in a card reader and read it from pc. If u can, perform a backup. Then format the sd and see if u can enter recovery !
Or try a different sd card of you have one

my desrie has been running fine until today.
was running the open desire rom but changed the pinky desire 1.8 a few weeks ago.
when using phone today a few apps kept force closing so i decided to reboot the phone.
it kept sticking on the loading screen, it would go black for a second as if it was about to load as normal but then it would loop back to the loading screen.
i tried factory reseting from clockwork recovery console then wiping cache and data and then re installing a rom.
now it just sits on the first HTC screen the one you get after powering up.
EDIT ; i have googled and had a bit of a search for answers. have tried most of them with no positive results.
have probably made things worse,
while waiting for a possible reply on here and various tinternet searches for my problem i was tryingh all sorts to get it working again.
and have now wiped the SD card data completley. so now i cant load a rom from the SD card.
i tried coping my sd card back up data from my pc back on to the card but it cant run the update.zip file to get into the recovery mode.
will i have to use my gold card to get some sort of working rom on my phone now?
OK first thing to try is ensure the SD card is formatted correctly, so boot into recovery and partition the SD card. You want 0swap, 512EXt2, and rest fat32. Then still in the partiton menu upgrade ext2 to ext 3.
Once that is done, while still in recovery you should see an option for usb toggle or or something it's called. With the usb lead plugged in this will mount your SD card on the computer so you can copy your rom onto it.
From there you should be able to flash in the usual way.
Edit: just re-read your second post, and realised you can't boot into recovery. You will need a card reader to put the update.zip on, or you should be able to flash an ruu. You'll likely need your goldcard for that, and then re-root afterwards.

i take it i dont need my gold card if my phone has been debranded?
the stock roms are ruu files and all the guides i have read including
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
this one im guessing you need your phone to access htc sync..
if my phone is not loading up how can i put a stock rom or unroot from the recovery console?
i have managed to put back in the fake flash update zip and have that working now at least.. tried installing a custom rom zip from the SD card from recovery console on the phone but it is still stuck on the HTC screen.
Have u tried a stock rom, running an RUU? Do it like this enter bootloader and connect the phone to the computer it should be found by the computer, in your phone should apear fastbootUSB or bootloaderUSB, something like that..
Hope it works

case closed, thanks for the help and input guys..
i followed the guide
from benko286
1. Download this
2. Turn off Desire and then turn it on while holding back button to enter bootloader(white screen)
3. Once in "white screen" press power button again to enter bootloader
4. Connect Desire with PC
5. Press Volume Down and than Power to enter Recovery
6. Now the red triangle should show up, go to folder you downloaded file and press recovery-windows.bat, recovery-mac.sh or recovery-linux.sh depending on which OS you have
7. Now you are in recovery mode (green screen), press Wipe and than Wipe data/clear storage, than press optical tracker to confirm it
8. After that press Volume Down to go back to main menu in recovery
9. Navigate to Flash zip from sdcard using optical tracker, select .zip confirm it and wait until process finish, after that press Reboot system and unplug you Desire
10. Enjoy your new ROM
and it worked, for some reason i couldnt flash the rom using clockwork recovery mode, but this worked a treat..
was really pooping it cause i thought it was game over and welcome to a posh shiney door stop..
Nice one. Glad you got it sorted.
alright so i was trying to install ruby and my SD card said it was full so int he porcess or trying to format my SD card i think i formatted my phones storage instead. so not knowing i went and tried to install the ruby rom like normal realizing that it would never boot so after trying to format all the partions of the phone through clockwork and still nothing worked.
so i went and decided i was gonna try and just downgrade or unroot so i ran this
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ideo-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading.html
and placed the pb311img on the SD card and excuted it and it disabled the clockwork and all that but not it just keep hanging up in the screen that you get when you hold vol down and power and it wont do anything when i try and reboot it it just keep going back to this screen..need help ASAP as this is my only phone and i dont wanna get a refurb
You're going to have to explain your problem a bit more clearly. Is it freezing on the bootloader screen? Like it loads and it doesn't do anything?
Please slow down, calm down, and try again
its difficult to explain but it wont go back past the HTC incredible white screen.
how i got to this point was i think i accidentally erased the internal memory off the phone and yes i know stupid me
so i went into recovery and when into mount and storage and formatted everything and then wiped the data and tried to install the ruby from off my SD card is said install was complete so i clicked reboot and itll reboot but once it gets to the white HTC incredible screen it just sits there and does nothing so i was like hmm maybe i can downgrade and found a PB311IMG file for a complete downgrade and tried that and it would just get stuck in the HBOOT and so i went into recovery and it was the stock recovery so i tried to apply update.zip which would be the ruby rom and it failed.
so i found a PB311IMG of clockwork recovery so i reflashed that and went into it and tried to re install ruby from that and rebooted and stuck at white HTC screen

Tutorial I used when I needed to unroot my phone. If you dont format to FAT32 your going to have problems. You shouldn't have a problem though if you follow that tutorial. You can boot to hboot so your ok.

Nice dude.
i have the exact same problem and tried this method and it didn't work for me. it told me the main version was older and doesn't work. Hopefully im not bricked!
I was using boot manager to install a rom and I accidently wiped system and the rom didn't flash properly. Now I'm stuck in fastboot and can't mount my usb to transfer a rom to get back into my phone. All it does is power down or reboot into fastboot. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Searching for you... really hope we can get your phone working again
So you can not boot into recovery at all?
If you hold power plus volume down can you get to the bootloader?
have you removed your SD card & used a card reader?

Was just going to suggest that. I had a similar thing happen, and I just popped the SD card out, copied a ROM to it and then booted to hboot (vol down and power on) and selected recovery there. I then could re-wipe and flash the new rom.

If he can't get it to boot into recovery he'll have to try flashing a rom or new recovery in a pc36img.zip.
Thanks for the replies...I really appreciate the help. I can power down and get into the bootloader, but I can't choose recovery to get to my backups. It just loops to fast boot. When I click bootloader it tries to scan the pc36img, but fails...I'm guessing that it got erased. I don't have a card reader, but that's a good idea. I'll got to the store and pick one up and see if I can transfer the files I need to get my phone back on. I'll post back and let you guys know what happens. Thanks again for the help so far.
You just need to put the recovery file on the root of the sd card. Not everything until you see if it got erased.

Just bought the sd card reader and loaded back the recovery file. Looks like all my files on the sd card are still intact. I tried flashing HybridBeta.5...it flashed but kept going back to recovery when I tried to reboot. I'm gonna recover one of my backups and see how that works. Brb...
Once you flash into Recovery
Go to:
- Install zip from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
- Scroll down to BootManager folder
- Select phoneRom and then click update.zip to get Phone Rom back
I have also flashed update.zip files from within rom1-4 when they were known good working installs and had them work as well.
Hello guys.
I've just tried to flash the cm7 Hboot but something went wrong and now when I turn on my HTC Desire, it is opening only the Alpharev Recovery (v2.5.1.8.used for the s-off) black screen with blue commands. I can also acceed to the fastboot and what I see is:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO Pvt1 Ship s-off
Hboot-6.93.1002
.......
.......
radio-5.11.05.27
I try to explain what I did in case u need to know my mistakes
I've created a backup, wiped everything, installed the PB99IMG.zip from SD card (it took 1 second to do it...is it normal??) and I rebooted. Everything was fine when I turned my desire on. I had to set language etc. and I went to check on the Application options if the internal memory become bigger thanks to the cm7, but it was 180Mb as before (I think). So, I thought that it didn't work out and I entered again the fastboot. Here it asked me if I wanted to make an update...I did it and then I went to the recovery to restore my backup. From here on, everytime I switch on, it goes directly to the recovery screen. I tried to wipe alla gain and flash again the cm7, but I had always the same thing.
Another info...now, if i go to the fastboot and I select BootLoader: Hboot it ask me always for the update again....
What can I do?? Please Heeeeelp!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S. I don't have a microSd card reader and if I have to copy something on the sd (another rom or a ruu) I don't know how to do it as I cannot see the memory card from my pc when I connect it via usb and I am in recovery. Is there another way or should I run to some friend?
Which ROM are you using ? Rename PB99IMG.zip to something else or remove it. Download a proper ROM and flash using recovery
This was the first time that I flash something...so I think I have still the standard one.
I tried to install the cm7 because it is required to install the custom rom I wanted to try.
Never did before.
Now that I connect it via usb, I cannot access to the sd from the pc. Is there another way to modify or add something to my sd or I run to buy a minisd card reader?

You can access your SD card by enable it to USB from recovery, which recovery are you using ? Try to find it in the menu, should have something like "mount usb storage" under advance or storage option maybe

You can try non-sense (lol at this term) ROM first, did a backup then try other later. One that I tried very easy and stable is the Ginger Villain.

Moving to Q&A
Hi,
I've successfully rooted my HTC one x, and installed TripNRaVeRs CM9 ROM.
I then decided it Erased the SD card to make it clean and free up space, Setting > storage > Erase SD card.
This has not effected the ROM but it is no longer possible to enter ClockWorkMod through recover and I want to go back to my standard ROM.
Is this because I have deleted something important off the SD card?
When I first enter the bootloader mode the HBOOT now reads;
SD Checking...
failed to open usb master mode
failed to open usb master mode
loading HTCUpdateZipName image...
failed to open usb master more
Please plug off USB
if I 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img'
it says OKAY and Finished, but when I go into the bootloader and select recovery it just restarts the phone into android.
Have you tried to boot into recovery after the reboot from trying to enter recovery? As far as I know there is nothing important that can be erased by formatting sd card. You should flash the latest cwm recovery, 5.4.0. It's in the development section, sorry can't find it quickly from my phone now. That will allow you to put rom on sd card.
Another method is if you can boot into rom, just use adb to enter recovery.
'adb reboot recovery'.
Edit: Here is the link for the latest recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819&highlight=recovery
Oh and that Hboot message is quite normal. I also get it and am sure everyone else gets it as well. It is just looking to see if there isn't a update file(That's for different images, which we'll probably use when we have s-off).

Did I loose anything by wiping the SD card?
Whenever I reboot, my phone now says 'Preparing SD card' in the status bar, which it never used to.

obviously you have lost the contents of your SDcard and probably any CWM backups you have made.
will likely have lost any big game data like ShadowGun etc, anything that requires you to download additional game data
and FYI the "preparing SD card" popup on reboot is normal, maybe you have not noticed it before but it is normal
Thanks.
yea, I wanted to clean it from all the '3 mobile' crap that comes installed (including some bad music), I had already saved my CWM recovery to my PC so have a copy of that.
Just wanted to make sure I hadn't lost any important drivers or boot files. But now thats its booting fine into CMW Im happy.
This is my first attempt at rooting so have not seen the preparing SD card on sense.
should be ok, nothing boot related runs from the SD so happy modding
and the prepping SD should be on stock aswell as custom, maybe im mistaken
