yes that would be why

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!

New SD Card - stuck on white screen

HI,
I have a rooted Desire running Pinky Rom
I recently bought a new 16GB card and am having problems with i. I formatted it throught the recovery menu and have copied over all the files from the old SD card.
However, now when I put in the new card the phone gets stick on the White HTC initial screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
(The old SD card was partitioned but I was going to do that through ROM manager and restore my apps through Titanium)
Thanks

That'll be the problem, old data needed by the ROM will be on the old SD card. You'll need to wipe and start again (or partition it using Amon RA/GParted)

So basically go into Recovery, and wipe everything, and then try and re-install the ROM using the new card?

Just a wipe should be fine - the ROM should then start and you can then partition it. I'd, personally, change to Amon RA and partition it before the first boot of the ROM but that's just me...
I say this in that it should work after a wipe BUT I'd wait for confirmation first. I assume if you put your old card in it works fine?

Yeah old card works as normal.
Will try the wipes (left the new card at home so will have to wait until after work!)
Never heard of Amon RA so will google that now and try and figure out what it is!

It's another custom recovery, like Clockwork Mod...I use it now as it has more options than Clockwork Mod - search for it on here, it's in the Developers forum

Amon-ra is arguably the best recovery around and on many android devices is the only option (or the only option everyone uses).

Excuse my ignorance, but it is an app that I download?

No, its a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod

Right,
I wiped it, and then the phone got by the white screen. I had to reset my APN settings as they were blank but managed that.
But I am now getting an Error manage when I try and connect to WIFI.
I have searched around here and all the problems seem to relate to updates to 2.2 and gold cards.
My phone was already on 2.2 and I have never used a goldcard in my life....not even sure what one is.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this??
Thanks guys

CWM 5.8.2.0
and I have wiped everying.

Remove and reinsert SIM card and SD card (while phone is off), and try again.
Is there any ROM that you've used that did work?
What exactly did you do leading up to when the problem first started?

I too had the reboot issues even after installing almost all ROMs including stock as well as CM series. However, thanks to instructions from DRUMIST, my phone is stable now. I think the problem is with the SD card. If you see LOST.DIR in your SD Card, it indicates some bad sectors or wrong formatting .The steps I did to resolve this issue are :-
1. Removed the SD card from phone, inserted in Laptop and did a FULL FORMAT (Not Quick format). [It may take some time]
2. Re-inserted SD card and Flashed Official LG V20c using OTA update method ( Using LG Tools ).
No reboots since 7 days of heavy usage.
Thanks again to drumist for advice

Glad you got your problem solved. However I should mention that Android will always create the LOST.DIR folder on your SD card if it doesn't already exist. Just the folder being there is not a problem -- however, if there is anything inside it, that means there was some data corrupted at some point. Most people should have nothing inside that folder.

So formatting it from CWM wouldn't have worked then? I would assume that would have been easier.

Possibly, but I personally suggest using SD Formatter which is a program that will do a better job of formatting an SD card than either Windows or CWM.

[Q] CM10 sd cardproblem

When I go into recovery to try and get my gapps zip there are not any files. Mounting and formatting sd card from cwm recovery does nothing for me. Im affraid if i try to factory resest and then go back and flash a different rom then i will be left with a brick. Any tips or suggestion very appreciate. Thank you

Sdcard gets emulatd using cm10 everything is still there but you're gonna have to fix it by transferring it over to emulatd/ sdcard/ 0

[Q] Stuck on TWRP

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
Update used an all in one and stock deodexed MA7 thank you everyone!
