Problem with flashing and root

I rooted my HTC Droid Incredible with Android 2.2 using unrevoked, but did not flash a new rom. Everything worked fine. My SD card crapped out a couple of days ago, so that it becomes corrupt every time the phone reboots. I've since tried to flash skyraider 4.0 and others, but to no avail. I tried to factory reset all of the data on my phone, but it just reboots with all of my information in tact.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong or what the hell I should do to fix it?

Well, I have no idea what's wrong, but try mounting the SD card to PC from in recovery and see if that lets you flash

Make sure sd is formatted FAT32

and if reformatting does not work, swap out sd cards and you should be good as new.

Strange issues!!
I’m in need of some help!! I have a droid inc that was rooted for many months with no issues. I wanted to change the boot animation. To do this I was instructed to get a root explorer which from the market. I need to move the “bootanimation” file from the sd to the “system/media” folder. After doing this the device lost connection to many of the apps. They no longer showed as being installed on the device. I could no longer “install or uninstall” anything. When trying to restore apps from titanium backup I needed to reinstall them because the had lines through them as thought they were not installed, but the apps get stuck on “installing” I tried formatting the card and recopying the data back to it but that didn’t help, so I tried to wipe the device. Doing this I was able to re download titanium backup but still the same problem with the apps getting stuck on install. Finally I unrooted the device back to a stock rom at jonsuh.com/2011/01/unroot-your-droid-incredible/[/url] I now have installed the drivers and ran the unrevoked3 rom but I get hung up on the “installing unrevoked3 service” Please help me to get my dinc back to a working order where I can restore my titanium backup files.

[Q] I think I finally hosed my phone. Help

So I was running Synergy + God Mode and today my phone decided to reboot itself. Well not it keeps locking up at the htc EVO 4G white screen or sometimes will get as far as the Synergy splash screen but will just loop.
So to back up a bit I previously had moved the Dalvik cache to the sd card as well as most all apps. This has been running fine for weeks.
I was able to get it to boot once after I removed the sd card but now it won't even with that. I tried wiping the phone from recovery and still nothing.
Any ideas? this is annoying. I've never run into an issue this bad before. I've always been able to repair either with a nandroid backup or just a wipe.
I tried restoring a nandroid backup and it just sat there with the lines getting longer and longer 1 dot at a time. Actually filled the whole screen and never actually finished.

Try a RRU

I would try an RUU.exe
Which HBOOT do you have? If you can get to HBOOT, then you should be able to go back to stock and solve most problems

I'm running the 0.76.200 HBOOT.
I will probably end up having to go back to stock but would like to keep that as a last resort.

I think I narrowed down my problem. Anytime I go into recovery and try and wipe anything that has to do with the ext3 partition it either locks up or for instance I'm now trying to repair the ext3 partition and it just keeps adding dots. Just keeps working and seems to get nowhere.
I can still access everything else on the SD card just errors of sorts when dealing with the ext partition.

well got it working after RUU but i still wish I knew what caused it in the first place

[Q] Stuck in boot screen

Hi,
Basically what has happened is, yesterday i flashed the ROM RcMixS however i think i may have done something terrible wrong along the way. I tried to restore my previous backup however had no luck with this. I am currently restoring phone using the RUU, for the 2nd time, since tried it again and same result. Im thinking maybe this good be pointing to a bad partition on the SD card? Is there a way i can fix a bad partition without buying a new card?
Thanks

theres no such thing as a troubleshooting guide sticked on the Q&A forum and it will not help you.

Yes i have seen your guide, and it did help me the last time when i broke my phone. Thanks for the guide! But ive tried looking at your guide, but so far ive tried both boot problem sections, with no success, and the advanced boot problems to. Hence why i might be thinking that its the SD partition?

Did a full format (of everything), and tried flashing a ROM you KNOW works e.g. cm7?
The guide is there to get your phone in working order, not for specific ROM's

Ive wiped everything apart from the SD card and have tried flashing SuperNova, Gingerburst, Leedroid's and AcesMod007. All of which have ended up with the same result. So im definitely thinking its my phone or SD card which is causing the problems?
Edit: managed to fix it myself, by wiping the card on 4ext recovery then re partioning the card. Seems to have worked well

(Q) Should I reflash CWM?

Ok so here's the story. I have been using HO!NO!'s cm9 roms since the first one came out. But today i flashed the newest one (v6) and also decided I would format my SD card. Then everything started to go wrong. The phone has horrible lag, like i can do a few actions for 4 seconds and then it freezes again for 30 seconds. CWM won't show any files when I try to reflash the ROM via CWM. I have tried 2 other SD cards in the phone and the same thing happens. The lag doesn't go away either when I remove the SD card. I have CWM 5.8.2.0. I am not really sure what to do at this point. If you need any more information to help me, please ask.
Update: I factory restored the phone and I'm still having the same problems.

Can someone please help i have the same problem

Try reformatting the SD card on your pc

Question about SD Card Issues

I've had my Inc2 since 2011 and have flashed different ROMs more than I can count.
In the last 2 weeks, I keep getting SD Card was removed messages.
I reboot and its back. I figured the SD Card was dying on me...
Since then, I've switched to a NEW SD Card and am having the same troubles, but more frequently, like everyday.
In fact it took and hour to get it to work again yesterday.
Anybody know whats going on?
I'm running the same ROM I've had for months, I've used a couple different ones over the weekend to see if that was the issue... It's not.
I've cleaned all the contacts and blown our the SD Slot.
Is she dead Jim? or am I missing something?

Have u tried using a different rom?
If u installed the original SD card incorrectly on the same rom maybe it's remembering that?

Assumed that you've already saved contents on your mSD card, wipe it clean on a PC/Mac/Linux OS (Fat or Fat32) then put it back on the DI2,
boot into recovery - wipe dalvik & cache, REFORMAT the mSD card - then boot up normally.
What Rom are you running? If above steps still do not work, try a Master Reset from the Rom before doing a Clean & Fresh Install of the Rom.
Keep a watch on error messages on the screen as you do all these & post your results, good luck !

Been Runnin Miui for the last year. No changes on phone.
SD card acts like it was pulled. Have to poweroff and remove battery to have it back.
A reboot into recovery still doesn't give me access to the card.
I've also tried different SD cards with the same results.

Anyone reading this with this problem, try returning to stock recovery and rom with the pg83.IMG(I think that's the name) and try doing a factory reset in stock recovery. My SD card works after that

This problem has gotten worse. And most of the time the SD card isn't even available in recovery either.

Yeah that's about what my problem was. Usually if you go for about a day without an SD card in, it will most likely recognize it again. If not, I could usually tap the back of the phone on a table, down near the bottom where the SD port is.
If that still doesn't work, you'll have to fastboot flash the return to stock image
My theory on this problem is that after flashing Roms/s-off and messing with stuff eventually corrupts some part of the filesystem. You might also try following the guide to unroot and s-on to see if that works, though that will be a little harder.

Flashing the ICS firmware didn't help.
Guess I'll have to try going the long way around...

Well Then...
Got the PG32IMG factory restore... that was a wash. Got everything but s-on done... and upon getting through the setup... SD Card removed unexpectedly.
So had to use ADP and FASTBOOT to get a recovery installed and back to square one.

Did you try doing a factory reset with stock recovery though?
I've read about some people with roaming problems on their HTC one, and flashing the stock recovery back and doing a factory reset fixed it.
Sooo give that a try if you haven't already
Edit: that probably sound un related but maybe after messing around with HTC devices they get mad and sabotage themselves haha. But seriously though. I messed around with the return to stock image a couple months ago, and I could get it work for a very short time, like you experienced. But just the other day I entered stock recovery mode from bootloader and it started doing a factory reset on it own. After it started up it recognized an SD card when I put it in and i then fastboot flashed a custom recovery(not cwm or twrp can't thnk of the name) then I flashed the andromadus mimicry ICS ROM that was still on the SD card and right now I've been playing music off it for about an hour and it seems to be fine
