[Q] Help!!!

I was getting ready to install a new rom and using CWR performed a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and a format system. I accidentally went into partition SD card and instead of hitting the back button hit the go. Now my phone only goes to first white screen "HTC Incredible" and stays stuck on that screen. I am able to boot into bootloader and recovery but cant recover any backups "no files found". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Partitioning the SD card formats it, do you keep backups of your SD card on your computer hopefully?

Can you hook up your SD card to a computer to verify that it's erased? You may need to reformat it to FAT32.

Don't have a micro sd card reader but will get one to see whats going on.

Im interested to know how partitioning the sdcard would make the phone get stuck at the htc splash? I have partitioned my sd several times before, it does format the sd but has never made it so i cant boot the phone.
EDIT: Alao you cant remove a ext partition by just formating in windows, as windows only sees the fat32 partition. To remove it go back to recovery and the partition sd. When you select it it should ask you 2 things, ext size and swap size.
Use the trackball to set both ext and swap to 0, leaving the whole sd to be formated fat32. After you do that see if you can boot.

I have done this too but good thing I had another SD card with a Rom on it or other wise I would have been screwed

Not sure why its getting stuck on splash screen. It was my first time partitioning my sd card. I tried installing a zip from sd card and none found. I also tried to nandroid restore and no file found. I will try to remove the partition and see if that works.

I set the partition to 0 and still no boot

Sounds like your only option is to redo a wipe data/factory reset, format boot, and format system again, to be safe, then copy a new ROM zip to your SD card and flash that.
Your nandroids, and everything on your SD card, are gone.

there is a clockwork folder on your sd card that is used if you updated clockworkmod recovery from rom manager. i mad the mistake of deleting it once. i had a backup on my pc before i did it. if you can get the phone to boot then just click the first option in rom manager and it will re build the file.

You don't need an SD card reader if you can get to CWM. Just go to mounts and mount Your SD card with your USB cable attached to your PC.

1. unlink all apps
2. uninstall link2sd
*backup data
3. reformat your sdcard
4. search for a link2sd guide here & do as directed

i cant understand what u r sayin ....
i think you mean to say that your Sd card files are not showing ?
But when you view with link 2 Sd then its showing there right ?
I think u need to backup your Sd card in PC then u need to format your Sd card in fat 32 using you're phone not in PC .... Then restore your files via USB cable from PC ....
and also do a wipe data /factory reset in stock recovery

link2sd cannot mount its scripts on stock roms!! That's why you cannot view the 2nd partition!!

@leodasal2
No buddy.... I'm using link2sd on stock rom... And it's working awesome.

I think he doesn't have problem with ext partition but the fat32 partition

This happened to me once your sdcard must be failing, you better backup your data before it says format unable to read device

Ya I'm on stock kernel as in signature, and I can create link also.
No problem at all.

Im also on stock Rom& stock kernal and link2sd is working perfect for me....
but i had these problems before....
I experimented many times by relinking and recreating mount scripts...but the problem came once in a while.
But after that i've backed up the .apk s and cleaned up the second partition and cleared data(settings-applications-manage-link2sd-clear data button) and now again used link2sd, created links and now the mounting problems are over! hoo....

Try formatting your sdcard,
Backup first in your pc, or delete your ext partition using minitool partition or easeus partition, make it (your sdcard) empty , copy paste cwm to your sd, and flash it via recovery , goto Advanced n then choose Partition SD Card . Hope this help..
Also, if its not working again, try deleting "content holder" or something like that, on /system/sd . Use root explorer (recommended) .

Excellent first post! Completely correct about not wiping SD. Also sound advice about making sure you have Amon RA.
@ the op, hit ^^ this guys thanks button!

Actually, wipe sd is not bad if you are able to put stuff back on your sd card... What you should do IS use Amon Ra recovery, and partition the sd card and upgrade it to ext 3.
Pick a ROM, let's try to get that flashed and working! Hit me up on gtalk if you'd like, pm for contact info.

Try taking out your sd card then do a hard reset.

32 for swap is cool and 1024 for ext 2 and yes, upgrade to ext 3.

It really depends on what you are flashing, if you use your sd card. I don't really store anything in my sd card, so I use 64mb for swap and 2048 for ext, and yes upgrade to ext 3. If you are flashing ICS you can use ext 4.
I am curious did you get a ROM working? I remember switching to Amon Ra after a similar situation, nothing would work, though it did with Amon.

phone wont' boot up

Guys, After a while i'm using my htc desire hd . I downloaded the new rom n copied to sd card. booted phone to recovery mode.
as usual wiped everything. some how Sd card is not showing up. it's says not mounted. even i tried to mount it's not mounting either.
with Samsung I could use Odin to flash a new recovery or rom.
I don't know what to do with htc desire HD ?
any help plz

Get the pd98 zip and install thru hboot. Then see if you can do it over again. Are you rooted or not ?
Also did you format SD on computer or on phone. If you did a true full wipe meaning SD as well then your ROM is no longer on card. After full wipe you need to mount USB then copy ROM to SD then flash ROM.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

Yes the phone is rooted. n currently using a custom ROM. some how thought of flashing different rom. now stuck at recovery.

curently cwm is 5.0.2.0
Just wondering how can I flash a newer version of it...

In recovery do a full wipe
1. Wipe factory
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Format partitions (except SD card)
5. Format SD card
6. Mount USB
7. Copy ROM zip to SD card
8. Unmount USB
9. Install from SD
10. Flash ROM
11. Reboot
All done from within recovery. Do not exit recovery till all steps complete
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

I've already copied the ROM into SD card. it's 32 GB Sandisk class 10 sd card.
I have done all those steps but I get error : E: cant mount /sdcard/

Did you try reformatting SD card on computer or even try another card if you have another one.

Formatted SD / Internal Memory

Hey guys , seeking help from the pros here.
I tried to install a new rom yesterday and mistakenly hit the format SD option instead of format System to clean phone before installing a new Rom. Now my problem is my internal memory has no files now, when going in cwm and trying to install rom from internal memory it says there are no files.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can flash files back into the phone, i tried Odin and some of the flash stock rom guides here but i boot loop and it removed my cwm, so when i go into recovery i actually go into androids stock recovery mode. I have tried to flash cwm again and that seems to work but still no files in the phone. Help.

You should be able to mount sd card from recovery. Choose that option in advanced. I use twrp now and it's a bit easier to use than com. Once you mount the sd card find it on your computer move the rom zip there. Now unmount the sd and flash away.

Twrp seems easier to use and it has big buttons with the touch screen.
If you have an external sd put the rom on it from your pc. Then select external sd from twrp by touching it where it says internal and select external. Now flash a custom rom.
