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?
did you convert it while the phone was in Android or while it was in recovery?

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!
Hey I've been rooted for about 5 months now but never really got into it deeply. I'm in need of some help, could be easy but I'm stumped. Basically I was running a custom rom which was an AOKP JB rom released back in early September. It flashed no problem and what not, and has worked flawlessly up until today when I tried to flash to a new AOKP JB rom released.
I had done nandroid backups prior to attempting. So I downloaded the rom via AOKP OTA updates and then put it on my external sd card, and updated my cwm recovery to the most recent version. I then proceeded to cwm recovery and wiped data/factory reset, wiped the cache, and wiped the dalvik cache. I believe the first time around I forgot to format system and proceeded straight to flash the rom via external sd card, but it kept saying error can't external sd card every time attempting to flash the rom. I then tried to do it from internal sd card because it was located in AOKP OTA folder and it started flashing the rom but then an error occured very early on. Now since I have restored from my nandroid backup I'm now unable to access my external sd card, my phone just won't locate it.
Basically I need help figuring out what happened and how I can get my phone to recognize my micro sd card and how to properly go about flashing this rom.
Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
If it helps I'm with Rogers. Also is it alright that I went back to a stock rom, can I update the stock rom too without any issues?
Anyone please?

So are you currently back to stock? If so, what version of stock?
Yes I'm back to stock, which was from a nandroid backup. Running 4.0.4 tried doing software update but it failed. Am I going to have to go through odin and flash stock rom to unroot and then root again? Cause my micro sd is going insane keeps getting a errors....

Have you tried changing recoveries and seeing if you have more luck with TWRP?
No I haven't tried it, you think it would make a difference? I have just got the new cwm prior to these issues.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk HD
I would be sure to have a good, clean download of the ROM you want to install on your internal SD as well as a NANDROID somewhere for worst case. Then, install TWRP through the GooManager app from the play store. Once in the app, hit the menu button and select to install a custom recovery script. That should install the newest TWRP in place of CWM.
From there, enter recovery mode. It would be recommended to go the wipe menu and choose factory reset and then dalvik. FInally, install your ROM .zip and GAPPS. Hopefully that should work and install the ROM of your choosing.
If that is without success, flashing back to Stock via Odin may be your best choice.

I personally have never flashed a custom ROM from anywhere other than my internal SD. I actually had root with numerous custom ROMs without ever using an external SD.
Alright so hopefully this sorts out my external sd card then.

Please let me know how it turns out.
I wiped flashed file but it keeps booting into the modified TWRP RECOVERY? Stuck at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
I was on TWRP 2.4.1 Newest version
MA5 Stock Deodexed MA5 Firmwares
OK Now a little freaked out. I can't get to billards file or any of my back ups because they were on my external sd card!!!! I hate trying to learn new stuff (old dog)
I'm so used to HTC and when I think I have a grasp of Sammy I F&ck it up!
Oh yeah and my back ups on PC are gone because of hard drive crash! FFFFUUUUDDDDGGGGEEEE!!!!!!!
Any help to get me back to where I was before I flashed this thing would be very much appreciated. Hell I'll take a bootable ROM of any kind. Sweating bullets!
I have the mskips 3.0 toolkit can that help? I scared ****less to do anything!
I don't have ideas of why. But if you have ROM, try flashing it and see if it'll boot. Then at least you can get the rom you want later and maybe your backups.
No Rom on Phone

It's (TWRP) not showing anything under the external sd card and I'm not sure how to mount the external sd card? Under mount there are some options problem is this is a modified version of TWRP 2.3.2.3 or something close to that. Just confused on how to just get a stock rom back on the thing?
thank you very much for your reply

I had this problem a few times. I know I solved it by just flashing back to stock and formatted everything. I know that's probably excessive and you'll lose a lot of info but it's better than having a very expensive paper weight. Lol

I can't see anything on my sd card and since this is some sort of modified version of TWRP it can only see what's on the internal memory. But none of my back ups are on the internaland whenever it rebooots it always boots the the modified version of TWRP. Really stumped i don't know adb so I don't know if I can even push anything to the phone?
Don't mind losing data no biggie there but I'm like you don't want it totally hosed.
Thanks Charles
Use odin to flash latest twrp over the funky one. Then use real twrp to access sd card. Also before that, remove sd card and copy contents to new hard drive using a card reader.

Copying files now. Quick question/advice If I can see my old TWRP file in my internal memory could I flash that file with this weird modified version of TWRP? Then I could flash any file from my sd card stock or custom ROM. If not to flash the TWRP file in Odin do I place it in PDA the slot and which buttons do I need to check (reboot etc)?
Wait I can't use Odin because my PC can't recognize or see my phone because of this modified version of TWRP. Damn it!
My apologies for the noob questions just scared ****less to do anything.
My sd card is wiped clean
So I could put a file on sd card but this modified version of TWRP can't see my external sd card.
Thank you for your time
Charles
To use odin you have to put the phone in "download mode" not recovery. It's a special mode different from recovery or OS or bootloader. Power off the phone and press & hold UPvol+home+power until you get the download mode screen.
It doesn't matter what kind of recovery or anything else you have. It works even with no recovery or kernel or bootloader or OS at all.
Get the tar version of openrecovery 2.4.1.0 (or whatevers latest you future readers). Don't unpack the tar.
Uncheck reboot.
Use the PDA button, select the downloaded tar.
After flashing is done and it says 1 success 0 error, bpull the battery.
This next is annoying and I can't really believe there is no better way, but I need to do it this way or else the newly flashed recovery doesn't "take" and I have to flash it again. Just once the first time after flashing. After that no problem. Anyway, hold DOWNvol+home+power, and while holding all those, put the battery back in.
Now you should have a good fully functional useful TWRP recovery that you can use to flash all kinds of things from the sd card, backup all kinds of things to the sd card, access the internal main OS flash drive, the internal "sdcard" and external sdcard, etc.

Ok since I was in the middle of all this (On MA5 Firmware and stock rooted ROM) Do I flash a stock rooted ROM and which one(LJ1 MA5 LK8)??? I don't know where I was as far as this zip was when I wiped dalvik and cache and started this disaster?
For the life of me I can't remember how to boot into recovery Power & volume down? Is that right?
Thank you for all of your help your a godsend.
UPDATE:
I'm back on Stock Deodexed MA5. I was and to flash TWRP 2.4.1.0, Reboot recovery, and restore my last back up.
Thank you SOOOO MUCH... going to cry in my stressed out happy place

I installed this rom and I'm not happy with it. I can't get play store to work, and need help installing one of my other roms. In recovery it has taken away my option to back up and restore please someone help me.
Ypu are in stock recovery. Use odin to flash el26 kernel with cwm then flash through that

I know what I did wrong with the rom I didn't install the g apps at the same time I did the rom. now my sd card will not mount so I can put the zip file on there, so I tried putting the sd card on my wife's phone and putting the file on there and then putting it back into my phone. I'm so frustrated right now it's ridiculous, but I'm not stuck in recovery I can start the phone and get into my launcher, but my google store does not work, my sd card can't be read, and my option to restore my back in recovery has been taken away. all I have is install update from external sd or install update from internal cache. If there is anyone who can help me please do so I will be forever in your debt.

thanx man I got it flashed and it worked.
So my sister recently bought a used phone running 4.1.2 and it started rebooting on its own for some reason or another. I am able to get into twrp 2.3.1.1 recovery and do a factory reset but the reboot loop problem still remains. I tried the other options in the wipe menu like wiping the internal storage but it says its unable to mount /data. Even in the Mount Menu i am unable to check the Mount data box.
I've also got the hurricane v4 rom downloaded but i am unable to install it for some reason. Is it because i am unable to mount the /data? Would a Format data work to install the hurricane rom? I've tried to download the 4.3 stock rom but not successful due to such a crappy internet connection. Luckily the hurricane v4 rom that i got from here supported the resume download function.

I also have note 2 with this strange reboot problem.
The OS doesn't matter at all for me (check that also).
If the problem will still remain, then I must say that it's a hardware malfunction.
Mine has it too, and does some random reboots at any time, specially when it has been used for longer time.

Go to mounts and storage and click on format/system, format/cache, format/preload , format/data and format/data and data/media (/sdcard)<--- this will format your internal storage,so back up if you have anything saved on it..NOTE: Do NOT format storage/sdcard1 cause this is your external sd card if you accidentally do format it you will lose all the contents on your sd card.If you still want to format your external sd card by this way make sure you have a card reader handy to be able to transfer the downloaded ROM and other contents on your sd card.
Now go back to main menu and click on advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache ,once again go back to main menu and click on wipe cache partition and go ahead and wipe it.At the very end go back to main menu and click on wipe data/factory reset and choose Clean to install a New ROM.Done.You have successfully performed all the wipes.Now you can go ahead and flash the ROM.

None of the modems worked. I've deleted the /system and /data and all the steps you gave me and restored back to 4.1.2 with twrp and the darnedest thing happened. no reboot loop, only thing is that there still is no service. The GCI screen shows up when booting (my cell phone service) . i was pretty sure the efs was checked when i backed it up a few days ago. I think i dun goofed on this one.
EDIT: Looking at the 4.1.2 backed up rom on my computer, there is a efs.ext4.win.md5 and a efs.ext4.win file on there.

So i finally got a premium link download on rapidgator and am downloading this stock rom atm. so its resumable (hooray!).
When done, i use the "PHONE" option in odin right? Im guessing installing the stock rom also re installs the stock recovery? Crossing my fingers (and toes lol) hoping this download finishes. If her phone doesnt work after all this i talked her into letting me buy it. It seems like a really nice phone. If she lets me buy it im thinking to get the Moga controller afterwards and installing some emulators and games, it'll be a nice little portable system.
SOLVED
Finally got the stock 4.3 download and installed and now the phone is working. Thanks everyone who contributed to help.
