We're going to need a few more dteails than that. What happened right before it died? Was it unlocked? S-Off? Rooted? ROM'ed? Which ROM? What do you mean by boot loop - is it hanging on the boot splash? How do you know the SD card slot stopped working? Can you get into recovery or bootloader? Is it detected in adb or fastboot?

Sorry about that. So the whole story is, when I first got the phone the screen was broken, everything worked. replaced the screen, and the SD card wouldn't recognize when booted up to ROM it mnokee os jb 4.1 I believe. However the sd card was recognized in the bootloader, so I loaded OTA for rooted phone onto sd and it updated from sd card within bootloader. ADB and fastboot was working. Then after a while I put JB back on. A few months later, it just died and stays in the boot loop.
Any help that can be given to get device up and running with sd card would be much appreciated.

So in your case, when you say bootloop, you mean its stuck on the currents ROM's boot animation right?
what recovery were you having?
Can you boot into recovery or bootloader.
If you had a custom recovery, you could try booting into it and reinstall your rom.

After flashing the new froyo radio rom and the new DJ Droid R1 1.1 rom, when i turn off my desire the screen doesn't turn on and the phone vibrates 5 or 6 six times and then it doesn't do anything!! please help!!
Can you come into recovery mode?
no, i can't do anything. my desire only vibrates
What happened during the flash? Did you interrupt it? Did the flash work correctly without errors? Have you tried booting without sim and SD card? What recovery did you use?

the flash worked correctly without errors, the problem started when i rebooted. i used fake flash and i tried booting without sim and sd card
I recently installed Leedroid 2.2d with A2sd on my HTC desire (unbranded) and it no longer boots (it doesn't make it past the HTC logo). It did this with the previous version but if I removed the battery and left it for a while it would eventually turn on again. Before this happened it started randomly restarting and I think that might be the problem.
Possibly useful information:
I can boot into the fastboot menu but it won't go further than the HTC Logo from there.
I can plug it into my PC and it will display "HBoot USB Plug"
Booting into recovery also only shows HTC Logo, it goes no further.
I have HBoot 0.92.0001 and the radio is 5.10.05.23.
I am trying to work out how I can re-flash in the hopes it will sort this out possibly with the RUU program and connecting from windows.
It has been a few days now and I can't get my phone working and I'm starting to get a little desperate, any help is appreciated as I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of information available and the endless options.
I have downloaded the RUU from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe) and run it.
It starts working and then stops with the message "Error[140]: Bootloader version error". How do I get the correct RUU for my bootloader (HBoot 0.92.0001)?
I have also tried Froyo downgrade (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256) but it just returned a whole lot "Error: Device not found" messages.
Tried flashing RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed and received an error about a file not being able to be opened for writing.
Just ran RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe and it completed successfully but it still doesn't go past the screen with the white background and the green HTC logo.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.0 0.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe didn't work originally but I charged until it was fully charged and then tried booting it again and it worked.
I had taken my sim and sd card out so I switched it off and put those back in and again it booted up fine. I was then switching Wi-fi on and it suddenly restarted and now it refuses to boot again.
Any ideas?
I can now consistently get it to boot by doing the following:
1. Remove battery
2. Put battery back
3. Charge until full and then leave plugged in for about 15 minutes.
4. Switch phone on.
Unfortunately it is still randomly re-booting while using the phone, could be it be a bad partition on the sd card?

try flashing the bootfix on the first post of LeeDroid thread
EDIT: here it is http://db.tt/QLu5cPL
Thanks for replying. How do I flash the bootfix?
Also, I don't have Leedroid anymore and I am back on stock Froyo ROM.
you flash it the same way you flash leedroid. through recovery.
have you rooted after you flashed the RUU? if you have, flash LeeDroid, flash bootfix and then reboot.

I used ROM manager to flash leedroid so I'll try a that again. I'll have to try it later as luck would have it, I can no longer boot using the fully charged battery method

have you rooted? you can do it manually via recovery. hold down volume button while turning the phone on, then choose recovery. you can choose zip file to install.
i've never flashed anything using ROM manager so i don't know how it works. does it reboot automatically after flashing something? if that's the case, then you might need to do it via recovery. because you need to flash the fix before rebooting.
More frustration. If I take the sd card out it will boot up so that I can see the home screen but then it just reboots again, and again, and again at the same point.
When I put the sd card back again it gets to the HTC logo and stops again.
This is really starting to annoy me

I have yet to get recovery to actually run, always stalls on the HTC logo. I also can't get the phone to start with the SD card in so I can't load files onto it.
One thing I've noticed (unless I've missed something) is you've not tried another SD card. I'd give this a go as it may be corrupt

I don't have a spare one but I might be able to get a mini sd card reader and then format it via windows. Would that work as well?

i'd try that if i were you. this goes without saying but make sure you back up first.
I actually don't think any of the above made any difference...
I just put back my SD card and the phone is working perfectly again. The only thing I can think of is that during the day it is too hot and it is cooler now (at night). This seems to be backed up by this thread - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676402
has been running since yesterday evening without a problem. Weird...
So, I am pretty new to rooting. But i really effed up. I rooted my phone, got rom manager, and was having a great time. I tried to download a rom, it didnt work and the screen just got stuck on htc evo 4g all white screen. So, retardedly i decided it would be a good idea if i formatted everything in the boot screen, including my memory card. Is there anyway to fix this, or am i soh?
just realized this message is in the wrong place...i reposted in q&a if a mod wants to close this.

If your recovery is not there when you boot into it, you'll have to flash another one.
If you can get to recovery, just wipe everything and flash a different ROM already on your SD card, or put one on there through the recovery menu
My buddy's incredible seems like it may be bricked. I can get into recovery, I actually installed the team win 2.0 recovery over top the cwm recovery he had before. I have tried a couple of roms after wiping everything and I cant get past the first splash screen. I have made sure that the radio is up to date, the recovery is good to go but it doesnt seem to want to get past that splash. Anyone got any ideas?
Hard to tell what rom he was running before, I think I installed some version of skyraider (froyo) for him about 9 months ago.
Im not new to android and know my way around fairly well.
I believe its SLCD. Would definitely appreciate any help.
I suggest downloading CWM recovery from "http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28" and installing either CWM 3x or 5x. Label the file "PB31IMG.zip" make sure it is NOT labeled "PB31IMG.zip.zip" I just took a look at the Twrp recovery thread and several others are having issues.
I don't think its bricked, just try flashing a new rom by using USB during recovery or updating a PB31IMG.zip over it

After trying multiple things, the issue seems like it was from a corrupt ext3 system. It now works after repartitioning the sd card and the ext3 partition.
I hit another snag. After I got the phone booting, I flashed MikRunny and now all hell is breaking loose. The phone will not boot unless I trick it into turning on by plugging the USB cable in when I see the splash screen. MikRunny just loops the boot animation so I cant get into the android system. I can get to hboot and recovery but the phone is not recognizing the sdcard at all now. My PC does recognize it and I have formatted the card multiple times. I cannot get adb to recognize the phone. I dont know if this is a driver issue or an issue caused by the problem. I tried flashing a new recovery by using the PB31IMG method, but I can't because it doesnt recognize the sd card. I tried a different micro sd card and same issue.
I could follow this guide if I could get the SD Card to be noticed (the phone is giving the 5 vibrations when I try to turn it on without the USB cable):

I tried installing an RUU while I was on the hboot screen (not sure if this is even possible from this screen) but the RUU keeps telling me the battery is less than 30% when the recovery shows about 75% and I just charged it recently.
Anyone have any insight on what else I could try? Thanks in advance.
It's a hardware problem unfortunately... You will have to send in for a refurb... I've had the same thing happen to me twice. Wish I had better news for ya, just make sure you flash back to stock through hboot before returning
Not sure how to flash to stock through hboot because it will not read the sd card. I have been able to get the pc to recognize it using fastboot.
If I could somehow get a rom flashed using fastboot I could fix it. Is there any way to flash a .zip update using fastboot? Or a way to force install the RUU exe without it checking battery level?

Does ADB recognize your phone in CWR? If it does you might be able to get away with Mounting the /System and simply swapping out the Mik Bootanimation for the Stock HTC Bootanimation found in /System/Media? (Correct me if I am wrong). Then basically tricking whoever checks if the phone is rooted with a Stock Bootanimation that bootloops
Hope this helps.
I've been running the CM7 Gingerbread for a while and wanted to update my phone. Read through the 30 page thread on black bean by swiperrat.
I installed smelkus, as recommended.
I rebooted into recovery and got smelkus going (I originally had ClockworkMod but switched to smelkus).
I did the Combo x3 wipe.
I partitioned the sd card - wipe=0, partition to ext2=1024, ext2-ext3, ext3-ext4
When I did this, there was nothing left on my sd card. I had to enable computer-usb connection to load the black bean .zip file
I flashed the .zip file from the sd card
Installed fine, then I reboot the phone.
From there, I'm stuck on the splash screen (android and bubbles). I'm on my third try now and I can't get past this screen. I think the longest I've gone is about 20-25 minutes with no change.
Can someone see what I'm doing wrong? I'm an idiot and did not back up my sd card to my computer. I didn't realize partitioning the card would wipe it all (and therefore lost my TiBa backups, awesome) and now I'm stuck with a phone that's not loading anything. It looks like it wants to work but I can't get past that splash screen...
If you have your USB plugged in when you boot up, that would be the problem

Thanks for the tip, HipKat! I was keeping the USB plugged in to make sure I wouldn't kill the battery but I was also using the latest version of black bean, which everyone is having problems getting to load. I switched to the 2nd latest and I'm up and running now!
:good:
To answer your other question, yes, you should have backed up your SD card to your computer prior to partitioning it. Partitioning wipes the card clean.
