Mytouch slide possible brick

I need help, a friend of mine has a mytouch slide that was rooted but he flashed the wrong rom using rom manager. He flashed a htc hero rom by mistake. This rom boots it up but the wifi, bluetooth, calling as well as the mounting of the sd card don't work. I then tried to flash it back to stock using esprimg.zip on the bootloader. It loads but once it gets to the part where it checks it, it suddenly stops and goes back to the options on the bootloader.

Try deleting the esprimg.zip file from root of sd card. Get phone into clookwork recovery and flash new rom. Make sure you wipe first.

That's the thing, the phone isn't mounting or detecting the sd card. Which means that I can't access clockwork mod. So I resorted to esprimg.zip, and it loads fully but when it comes to the checking esprimg.zip part, it just goes back to the bootloader screen instead of asking to update or not.

Mounting the phone to the PC isn't the root problem. He can't get the phone to detect the SD card at all so how is he suppose to load a ROM from ClockWorkMod?
@OP, so hboot picks up that there is a ESPRIMG on the SD card and then fails the check or does it not even say that it's detecting the ESPRIMG?

It detects it, then fails at the checking part

Since you say it wont boot. Try downloading http://de.codeplex.com/
If link fails its called droid explorer. Basically you can get into the memory card without it being mounted. Yes it needs to be pluged up but this should help. Even if it cant be read. And if the card cant be read using this then maybe its the memory card?
Do you have a 1gb memory stick or 4gb?

I fixed it, I loaded esprimg again and right after it loads and then fails. I go to recovery and aply update.zip, which then finally gets it into clockwork mod, thank you to all that helped and for those with the same problem, try it this way

boot loop

My epic 4g touch is doing bootloop in the 4g screen. Need help. any ideals how to recover this. I tried flashing rom but clockwork sees no files in external sd card. Plus, how do you transfter files to your internal sdcard in clockwork?Any help is appreciated. Thanks

When I had to recover from a bootloop I actually had to remove my sdcard, put the phone in download mode and reflash it. Flashing with a .tar on your SD card has caused many problems for me =/

As a rule, here is my emergency ROM evacuation plan:
1) Can I get to recovery? If so, I will simply wipe everything (factoryh reset) then reflash fresh.
2) If not, then just boot to download mode (power+volDown) and Odin over a clean kernel (most bootloop issues are going to be from a kernel issue)
3) If all that doesn't work, then flash a stock rom from scratch using Odin
It sounds like 1 is not an option to you. I don't think you can copy from sd to internal without mounting them on a pc and doing the copy on that side.
In any event, you are gonna need a PC.
HTH

You can put files on your SD card by enabling SD mount somewhere within cwm. However I would listen to that guy^
That is probably the best way to "abort" a ROM

Oh and I wanted to ask: what ROM did you install because SD mounting doesn't work with any of the AOSP ICS ROMs...

With ICS, I haven't been able to mount anything but internal storage... But I have been rooting since I got my first Intercept on day 1. I'm a danger seeker

[Q] Can't restore because of sd card not mounted?

My phone was rooted and I did a backup before flashing it to a starburst v1.7 rom. I did everything correct and now my phone just keeps doing a soft reboot every 10 seconds no matter what.
When I tried to restore it from the CWM recovery screen it says "error sd card not mounted", so therefore I can't even restore. I've done the rooting and flashing soo many times on my other android phone right before I switched to Sprint.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks

Ddownload a .tar file and flash stick rom and kernal and try again?

Did u access cwm manually? Try to use rom manager off the market see what happen. Internal sd or external sd u talking about? When u access to cwm mount and storage check there too.

Hello,
I had this same problem, just go back to stock using Odin & you will be good to go. You can also trying updating to the latest clockword- that has worked for me before as well.

There were some rushed CWM builds released. You may want to try a newer release

Ok, this is what you do.
In cmw, there is an option to mount the phone to a computer, i cant recall where it is in this version. After selecting it, connect your phone to your computer, and move your backup from ur sd card to the phones internal memory, and then restore it from internal memory.

I completely erased the phone and sd card via usb storage after reflashing UCLJ3 stock, then after re-reflashing UCLJ3 stock via odin again, I checked the SD card, and both are COMPLETELY empty
Now, to use the recovery.tar.md5 for touch recovery and flash dbrannon and I's rom and start testing all our updates without worry!

[Q] Have twrp but no OS on phone. Can't get to needed file on twrp.

I'm stuck. I think the partition got messed up and I can't move anything to my internal memory so twrp can flash. it also won't let me move any files onto my internal memory from my external card. There any way around this so I can install an os to my phone? I need something that can rebuild the correct partitions on my phones memory, I guess.

If you can get in to download mode, use Odin to do a full restore.
