hey people how we all doing...
i have a question .... i have installed many roms since rooting my phone... as such my sd card is full of stuff that i think i dont need.... i want to format it all... but wanted to know if i would need to save a few folders and not delete them.... like android folder or nething.... and just say if i do format all the sd card.... would the installed rom stop functioning ? advice welcome thankyou
If you wiped as you should when flashing ROMs you should only have stuff related to your current rom. And yes it would stop functioning . if you really wanna do it I would save any personal stuff like music, pics docs etc and do a full wipe and re-install your rom so its nice and fresh then copy your stuff back over

How do you make a full wipe? Is your clockworkmod still working then?
Yes, a full wipe does not wipe the recovery itself and also not the current flashed boot.img file.

Thx.. But i did a format. now my phone won't mount my sd to my pc so i cant copy my rom...
im also having problems.... well i formatted the full phone.... both sd card n phone... n now the phones empty...
copied the rom over from the computer, .... flashed the boot.img and then flashed the rom (with the wipes) and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.... is their anything i have to do before flashing the rom? or should it work ? i currently tried flashing domination rom .... didnt work with that now im thinking of trying a different one
and i know it could be the kernel at fault... maybe need to flash a different one.. i am aware of that.. but i thought id ask if formatting the sd card may have caused it,
Should work fine, did it myself to many times. Format everything and reflash the rom including flashing the boot.img. never had an issue.
Did you format the sdcard inside the recovery ?
Thanks for the reply . i flashed a different rom and it worked !! So its fine now... I think because domination rom is a mix of all, i may have had to flash a modded boot img or something lol

I can't get in my phone......HTC SYNC can't work anymore.......
HBOOT screen can't get in ..........
Now, only thing is funtional is my SDCARD, I had already copy my backup .android_secure to my SDCARD, but nothing changed.....
My ROM is Revolution HD 4.0 Beta1
PLZ, help me ..........
Bootloader and recovery should be fine. You have done nothing that would affect them......

You should be able to flash another Rom.
Otherwise copy the pd98img to your SD card enter bootloader, let it do its thing ...
Guess.. Remove and re-plugged the sd card. , might be the remount it.

Have u factory reset cleared cache and also cleared dalvik?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Alright..
Firstly, reboot into recovery and wipe full data & the dalvik cache.
Second, flash a rom to which your device fulfills all requirements (eg. not D2EXT, D++)
Third, restart your device after installing the ROM.
Fourth, WAIT!!!!! if it doesnt boot after like 15 minutes then something has gone wrong somewhere.
Just to make things easy to start with, you should try using a rom that doesn't require an ext2/3/4 partition and just uses fat. Unless you are confident you can do that correctly.

thanks all ,after wipe partition and wipe data factory , worked with me.

Seriously, you should do a little reading tutirials and guides on flashing.
You cannot flash a ROM with a different base on top of another - that's why the bootloops. (E.g. Flashing DHDport on top of Stock Rooted or GB on FROYO won't work without wiping).
Secondly, it is wiped it - ergo FORMATTED it, the ext partition is still there.

I understand that i have to see which radio can work with?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Listen, everybody's here to help each other. It's what we android users do.
A little of "Please", and "thank you very much", "you guys are great"... goes a long way...
As for the radio, the easiest would have been, to upgrade your stock system to Froyo 2.29 before running the ROM.
Stock, before a custom ROM. This would probably avoid any radio problems.
If your phone is working and you have no issues, then you shouldn't worry about it.
Some people, get a little angry, when the same problem happens over and over again, and there are posts to cover these problems.
But, I think most of us, will jump right in, and give a hand to those who ask politely. And give a big thanks, when the issue is fixed.
Oh, and all ROMs are not created to work with Desire...

any help plz
Full wipe:
Reboot in recovery
Format data/factoey reset
Wipe dalvik
Format all patitions except sd card.
If you did that, make sure the md5 checksum matches. You should find that where you downloaded the rom from.
If it doesnt, download again.
If it does, flash again. Remember to full wipe in either case.
If the md5 doesnt match, download rom to computer, transfer rom to sd card either by rebooting into recovery and mounting sd card to pc to transfer the file or whichever way you know and can do it.
First boot on average takes about five minutes. Shouldn't be more than ten.

Hi !
I've used CyanogenMod 10 for 2 weeks now. Before I installed it, I had done a nandroid backup through Clockworkmod Recovery, to co.e back to the Stock ROM if any problem happened. During these 2 weeks, I would do some updates CM10 was giving us. Then, there's a few minutes ago, I rebooted my phone into CWM and tried to find my old backup (I ain't done any other one, or wipe, or nothing else) and, however, "No files found".
So now I'd like to know, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ? Is it cause of the daily updates from CM10 sometimes including a change called "6.0.2etc.", which remains me of the CWM version ? I'm really scared I lost it... Now when I look to the new release of CM10, a nightly includes a fix for the error "not recognized backup format type of file" or something like that, should I update and would that resolve my issue ? I'm becoming paranoid, I've got many problems with flashing ROMs and I'm now afraid of updating CM10, cause my CWM is still in 5.8 despite the "6.0.2" changes in the change logs...
What should I do, is my backup still remaining ?
Thanks

Well, actually when I booted into CWM an hour ago, it was in 5.8.4, so it's still the old one... So I wonder if I should update CWM, or updated CM10 which would maybe solve my problem with the backup file fix, but it doesn't completely looks like my issue... I will try anything you suggest in the morning, it's 0:46am in France ^^ One thing's sure, CWM is still in its old 5.8.4 version.
The problem is just I can't see my backup anymore, why and how can I retrieve it ? :/
Thanks overall

So I no longer have any backup at all xD Then I can do a new one right now, and update CM10 then CWM... I still have the stock ROM with the right hboot on my PC so I'll just have to flash it again if I need it :/ Didn't know we could access the backup folder and keep it on the computer

How can I repartition then, if not my flash.
PS for some reason it appears I can flash in the morning after leaving phone overnight.
So maybe I can re-partition in the morning?

Keep trying, if it doesn't work you need to get it repaired at a repair shop/HTC .....not much else you can do
And as additional info, you can always use the existing thread you created. Once replied in there it will be back on top of the list.

Format everything
Ill try to reflash clockwork when my fastboot works.
From there ther is an option to format/ mount etc.
If i want to set everything to fully formated can i safely format everything in that menu.I was worried about formatting system, data etc. and then re-install recovey, rom and GAPPS?
I was worried if I formatted everything I might npot even get boot loader.
I have no data on the phone to worry about
And also there is an option to partition I think, can I use that, ?
Im guessing sd card partition is corrupt or hardware error.
Or can i format via windows?
Thanks
