[Q] Rooted Desire stuck on htc logo after trying to make a partition.

I have a rooted desire and I was trying to partition the sd card and it rebooted and since then hasn't been able to pass the screen. I've tried to search for answers but here is some info
-I bought the phone unlocked and rooted so I don't have a gold card
-I tried pressing the back button and then power but the "reboot" option doesn't work
-I also tried "clear storage" to factory reset and it still doesn't load past that screen
-When I choose "recovery" sometimes it loads up my CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY page but I don't know what I can do from there.
Please help!
Thanks!

Ok if can enter recovery no problem, try wipe data in recovery and reboot, if that doesn't work, did u have an nand backup? Restore it, or dw the same or a new rom and install it threw recovery...

How can I put a new rom without a gold card? Can I just put it on my SD and instal that way?
I tried doing wipe and it didn't help and no I don't have a NANd backup

Gold card is only needed to install stock rom´s...
Look for a rom that u like, download the zip file to the SDcard, and install it threw recovery...

Thank you!
I'll try that out.
So I'll just need to name the new rom update.zip and then install through recovery?
I'll give that a try!

Yes u can rename it to update.zip or just choose install from sdcard and choose the zip file u want..

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
It worked!

Since you're so smart, do you know how to easily create an EXT on the SD card?
Thanks

Not that "smart" interested.. lol
U can find everything i told here in xda..
The easyest way to partition your sdcard is threw rom manager, download the app for free threw market, this is the easyest way to backup/Restore and install roms..

I tried doing it through the ROM manager already but all it does it reboot my system and then I get the android with a ! and when I click power it displays CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY and I see this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v.2.5.0.1
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package..
E: failed to see in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
It gives this to me everytime. Maybe something is wrong with Rom Manager?
It's a 4GB card Class 4

weird,
never had problems with rom manager,
do u have sd adapter?
try and format the card threw windows/linux, format type FAT32, or if u have another phone like a nokia format the SDcard in that phone, had some problems with the SDcard, not recognized in Desire, format it with an Nokia, and then the SD is readble again in my Desire, then with RM, partitioned the card

how to access sd card through recovery

im trying to install android revolution, i did superwipe but forgot to put the zip file for the rom on the phone. i cant access the sd card from recovery anymore so how do i put it on there to flash it?

You'll have to push the file using adb
adb push /path/to/file /data/media
That will put it on the root of your SD partition

I'm special.

This but make sure to mount /data in recovery

Have ADB installed, in recovery mode type this to copy file to the internal storage:
adb push locationoffile.zip /data/media
Type this to copy everything from your internal storage to a backup folder located in your ADB directory:
adb pull /data/media ./backup

Mounts and storage - mount USB storage

The Nexus do not even have that option available since it does not use UMS mode.

I did the same with my htc incredible but still had cwm's recovery installed. To put a install file on my zip card:
1. Start phone - and enter the boot screen (for me, my phone automatically went to the boot screen since I didn't have any system installed). If recovery is not a scrollable option, then select and run bootloader and the recovery option will become available.
2. Select and press 'recovery' to go into recovery
3. Select and press 'mounts and storage'
4. At the bottom of the mounts and storage screen, select and press 'mount usb storage'
5. Plug you phone into your computer and a new removeable disk (your sd card) should be available on your computer.
6. Copy install files from computer to phone sd card.
Hope that helps.

As stated that doesn't work with GNexus. ADB is the only option

While in recovery plug your device into your computer with the usb and then just go into the partitions manager and then select mount usb mass storage and that will mount your sdcard to your computer.

As already stated above, GNex doesn't support Mass Storage mode at all.
And hey, what's the point of bumping a thread as old as this?

If you're talking about flashing .zip's in Recovery mode, you just use the "Install zip from sdcard" option instead of the "Apply update from sdcard" option to flash your update files.
As for the sdcard mount problem;
What exact model is your defy?
Can you mount the SD card from the launcher via; Root Browser or ROM Toolbox?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when the phone is at the Launcher?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when your phone is in Bootloader mode?
I think I had this problem a while ago but a Quarx nightly update fixed it...

[Q] Complete Device Reset

hey guys,
i wanna completely reset my one x via hboot or fastboot. is that possible?
i have the issue that my system got chrootet to /sdcard/0 and now i have lots of trouble finding my data or using cwm. i cant even mount usb via cwm oder restore my old backups
thx

Why? What happens if you mount usb storage in recovery?
Which ROM are you using?

i upgraded from cm10 to 4.2.1 so my sdcard got chrootet to /0
if i try to mount usb it says "unable to open lumis file" or sth
also i cant see any of my backups in cwm cuz cwm thinks my sdcard is /sdcard, but it actually is /sdcard/0....
i already reinstalled cwm but nothing changed
my rom is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506&highlight=rc8 RC8 version

Does it actually say 5.8.4.0 in recovery?
Give me the full error message you get. It's "ums lunfile", right?

TT is right ! Flash the new cwm recovery correctly and transfer everything froms sdcard\0 to just sdcard ..... this method definitely work .... :thumbup:

Have you tried using the "Mount USB Storage" option under mounts and storage? Could help you access you SD Card from your laptop.

That doesn't work on nexus devices. Adb push or adb sideload are the options.
