Stuck on boot after flash.

Hi all.
I've just got the unbranded Desire [EUROPE-Poland], after Hero i needd root etc. so did everything that You "say".
After tutorials i've rooted and flashed via (green) recovery a new DJDroid rom.
But it keeps playing boot anim all the time.
Tried few defferent roms, same thing.
Did SD partitioning and a full wipe.
Any idea?
pls, help.
Only thing thay i can do is reflash via generic RUU one on fastboot now. =/

EDIT

already searched the formu - nothing similar didnt found

Have you wiped cache and dalvik cache, and done a data/factory reset ?

Yes, yes, yes
As is said: "Did SD partitioning and a full wipe."
[inc.Cache,Dalvik,EXT,Factory]
Dont know the problem...

Can you put up a logcat for us?
And what method of rooting did you use ?

decompress android sdk (check on google for the sdk package, is quite small), then go inside the "tools" folder (I assume you have already your drivers installed).
then go on command prompt, and
Code:
adb logcat
will show the logcat.
Code:
adb logcat > bootlog.txt
will create the boot log (you won't actually see anything on screen since the output is redirected on the txt file.
You can:
start your phone
type adb logcat
CTRL+C when the phone is booted.
It will automatically stop if a reset occurs.

Silly question, but you did use the right one for your bootloader didn't you ?

How did you wipe your ext partition?
I've had to use my computer as wiping it in recovery didn't work.

If he just partitioned it then this shouldn't matter because it should be blank anyway

Looking at the logcat, everything fails to initiate so you could possibly have USB Brick, check out this thread and report back

Done step by step.
No errors while updating.zip
Flashed new rom (DJ...)
Same thing
Any idas what should i do?
log attached - seems to be quailtly the same...

I don't think you have the usb brick as you would have no access to SD card, and the phone would still boot. You would also see qualcomm devices listed when you connect usb.
Have you tried booting without the sim and SD card?

socktug,
Without SIM & SD phone started fine
... but after reinsert abowe its all the same. =/
I can lunch it with SIM only.
So i cant lunch it with SD inserted.
Can You verify what is the problem?
Or how can i?
Maby should i try with goldcard?

if it boots with SIM and no SD then its the SD thats the issue.
You can try to format the SD again and reparition it, if that dont work then it must be a faulty SD card.

But SD with stock ROM works great, with Hero it works also fine.
There was no problems at all...

[Q] Clorkworkmod cant find sd. Is it bricked?

Hi. I was loading a rom in recovery and first wiped system and data. when I went install the new rom I got the error "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (no such device)". In other words, I have wiped the old and it cant find the new rom.
Previously I rooted by UnRevoked so I have not previously set up android sdk.
Am I screwed
Thanks

Have you tried a different SD card or the CD card in another PC?
Could be a faulty sd, or if not maybe try cleaning the contacts on the card and phone?

the card seems ok. It can be read via USB from recovery.

Is there any way I can set up a terminal connection and flash a rom from my computer?

I'm having the exact same issue with r6. The SD just won't mount even in recovery. When this happens there is literally nothing else to do, we need a solution!!!

Sorry to hear it Doogle. Im out of ideas too

Pretty lucky to not be the only one tho
Just so you know, mine is definitely USB bricked, but the SD thing is stopping me from being able to fix this.
It's quite unusual.

Any idea if its possible to set up a terminal?

or does usb bricked mean your comp cant see the phone?

I set up a thread earlier to find that out. No replies
Yeah when the phone is USB bricked the PC just can't detect it,
so it's impossible to flash RUUs, so I'm up against the wall unless
I can get this working

When Clockworkmod didn't find my SD, but card reader showed it ok, I used SDFormater to reformat card (remowed all partitions) and when formated in recovery.

Basically, the SD card is not mounting (if it's the same as me), so regardless of what .zips might be on it, it can't flash them...

You're not using quick format option are you?
Because a proper full format is much more effective,
and takes a while to complete.

nope. It still cant mount it

[Q] Dropped my phone - Now stuck in bootscreen

Hello guys,
I woke up too early this morning, and i accidentally knocked my phone off the stairs. It fell about 2 meters, bounced and then fell another meter, bounced and fell another meter and stopped.
Thankfully it was in a silicon case (i think that's what made it bounce) and there are no visible damages.
I picked it up, and it seemed to be working. After a few secs it went into sleep mode and would not wake up.
I removed the battery and rebooted, and i got the HTC screen, then the nexus boot screen and it stays stuck on the nexus boot.
I then entered recovery mode and thought i would try and restore my backup. I get the following message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /sdcard
I took off the SD card, put it my pc and it works just fine.
I got another SD card, copied a rom onto it and tried to reinstall through recovery.
I did a wipe/data factory reset and tried to install the rom.
I got the same message...
Is my Desire toast? It's only six months old...
I was running Defrost6.1 and using psfMod 0.9.7.2 as my recovery.
Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks
aalex
UPDATE
I did another wipe data / factory reset, and i rebooted.
The rom starts up, without any of my previous settings of course, but I still cannot mount my SD card.
From file manager, it seems that it is being mounted, but no files are listed...
When i try with gallery it reports "SD card unmounted or not present".
Any insights?

Drop it again, it helps

With your SD card in your phone go into settings then storage and unmount SD card. Then format your SD card from your phones menu and it should mount the SD card see if that worked.

Hi ste1164,
Thanks for responding. My problem is that my phone cannot pickup the existence of an SD card.

This is a typical USB-brick. I've had one a few weeks ago. You should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639&highlight=usb+brick.
If you're new to this, it can be hard to get it working again. Just let me know if you have any problems. It took me a few hours to get it done

From fastboot via ADB, execute "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" and then reboot it with "fastboot reboot" command.
See if it works.
If you don't remember how to do the above, just search.

its not a usb brick, thats a software brick.... it sounds to me like you have a corrupt sd card, sd cards are very delecate and this can happen from a sudden impact, try formatting the card in windows explorer, obviously you cannot format your sd-ext using windows so try gparted or ubuntu to format your other partition.

Can't be sdcard, op said tried sdcard in PC and tried different sdcard...same result, must be sdcard reader or something.
You never know, might be a USB brick, just happened before the drop and was brought on by the reset...but I agree probably is hardware fault.
Is it possible to flash stock rom from fastboot without sdcard? Could try warranty repair then...

sorry i didnt notice that, could be a usb brick but like i said thats S/W related and i doubt dropping your phone could cause such an error, +1 suppose the sudden reset could cause the usb brick especially if the device was reading or writing to the sd card when it happened, could also be the sd card reader in the device has been damaged or one of the internal components. can the device read the sim card? if it dosent, could be a usb brick

Just a thought...is the sdcard reader attached by a ribbon? (never seen the inside of my desire, hope I never have to)
I'm sure I've heard of a few desires that can't read sdcard anymore, I reckon it's either attached by ribbon or it's the most delicate part of the phone.
I'm hoping it's a loose ribbon because that's an easy fix, even I could do that.

Hey guys,
Thanks to all of you for responding.
My sim card works just fine. I can make and receive calls, texts, go online via 3g and Wifi, connect through bluetooth. As far as i can tell, my phone does everythind it did before except mount an SD card. Also, the android market keeps crashing, and if i try and download anything from the net i get a prompt saying that i need an sd card to download.
So far I took the SD card and put it in my pc. I formated it, tried again but it didnt work.
I then tried a brand new sd card and that didn't work either.
However, I did not format the old card's ext2 partition, and the new sd doesn't have an ext partition yet.
Would this point to a USB Brick as mentioned above?
Would it be possible for me to flash the stock rom on the device?
Thanks once again, to all of you.

Yes, that should solve your problem. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, but that included a malfunctioning usb, even charging didn't work correctly.
To fix the sd-card, you should run the above command using the tool fastboot, available in the Android sdk. After downloading, cd to the tools folder in the sdk and then run the command while your phone is connected to your pc in fastboot mode. Then it should work again.

Hey koenvbeek,
Thanks for the help. I think i may need a bit more of it
Here is what i did so far:
I used Nephrons guide to download and install ADB.
I then rebooted to bootloader. The phone displays "fastboot" and then when i plug it in it dispalys fastboot-usb
I then went to the ADB tools directory and tried to run the command.
I got a message saying the command cannot be run because adbwinapi.dll is missing from my system, and asking me to reinstall everything...
Clearly i made a mistake somewhere but where?

I don't think you made a mistake
Either the requested file is missing, or it can't be used by your computer. First check if the file is present. If not, google for it.
If it is present, your computer can't use it for some reason. Are you on a 64-bit OS? If you're on Vista/7: did you open the cmd promt as admin?

Yeah, nothing wrong, it's just that the API library is missing.
Download it from the attachment here, and put it in the "tools" folder, then try again.
Edit: As you can see it's in an archive, since dll attachment is not enabled here, so extract the file from it.

[Q] format new microsd

There is nothing wrong with your card. The SD card error is a known bug with CM7. Deleting the LOST.DIR folder should eliminate the SD card error message. If you feel you want to format it anyway, go into recovery and select "wipe SD Card" if you're using amon RA as your recovery.
Posting & replying via the XDA Premium app

How do i get to the .lostdir? when i plug the phone into the computer it wont mount the sdcard. is that because its not formated for the phone?
this is the first time i've put a brand new sdcard in.
im on clockwork. should i flash to amon_ra for this?

Did you have CM7 installed PRIOR TO installing the new SD card or was the new card inserted before CM7? If the latter, a LOST.DIR folder *should* be on the root of the card. If not, it's no biggie, just know that the SD card error is a known bug. If the new card was inserted after CM7, then it may indeed need to be formatted thus the reason your PC is not recognizing it. The cards I have, were already formatted and readable when I purchased them. You could use the EVO to format the card for you in the settings-SD card & Phone Storage menu or it's equivalent in CM7 or you can go into recovery and format it. Either way is sufficient and effective.

neither format method i tried works.
ive had CM7 RC2 already running on the phone for a while(since early march)
most things worked fine.
until
ordered the new card and got the card yesterday.
took the old one out
put in the new
and then i get the errors.
can i screw anything up in Clockwork if i try unmounting and mounting and such?
also what is "format sd-ext"? do i need to do that?

Unmounting & mounting will not destroy anything in and of itself, however, the card must be mounted in order for you to format it. Format sd-ext means formatting that particular partition, but not the entire card. I recommend you switch to amon RA v2.3. The menus are, in my opinion, clearer and pretty self explanatory. You can format/wipe the entire SD card as well as partition it. You can download it from http://goo.gl/cgh5e
A detailed description of every menu can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=516947&d=1297626700
To install it:
Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sd card.
Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go

put the new "unworking" sdcard in

worked seemlessly. except when i plug into the computer there are only 3 folders. can i just make a music folder?
so i guess the issue was RC2?
i also updated cwm from 2.5 to 3.0something so i could flash amon from rom manager.

I do recommend amon RA v2.3. It is a very solid recovery. I also recommend that you do it manually. The installation takes less than 10 seconds. Furthermore, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with wiping & flashing from within recovery. Anyway, I'm glad you got everything taken care of. Take care, my friend....

Have I bricked it?

I rooted my stock HTC Desire with unrevoked3. The operation went smoothly but after the last restart, phone won't switch on. It gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
What can I do now?

You can boot into recovery. Turn phone off, hold vol down + power button. When it's finished checking, select recovery with vol keys and power button to select. From there you can mount USB and flash a new rom if you want.

Yes, I can do recovery, and I had my old nandroid image on the card which I restored, but it didn't change a thing.

Flash a rom real quick and see if that works. BTW, when you go to bootloader, what is your PVT? Just curious.

How can I flash it if I can't turn the phone on normally?
PVT 4 SHIP S-ON

Because you use your recovery to mount USB then you transfer a rom across. Then you flash that rom you transferred to your SD card.
I take it you have ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 or something along those lines? If so, you kind of need Amon_RA recovery because of your PVT.

Yeah, in the ideal world I would be able to find my microSD-SD converter.

Seriously now? It's in mounts and storage. In the real world, if it's in your phone, it stays in your phone. No one knows how to "do things themselves" these days.
And yes, some people do have problems with CWM with PVT4 and so Amon_RA is a lot better since it is more compatible with it.
