I haven't been able to flash from ext SD card and whenever I boot into recovery I get a green and purple staticy screen. After I try to flash a file it just exits and reenters the recovery and I reboot back into my current ROM and the file says its not readable even though it was before attempting to flash it and I've reverted to stock with RUU and flashed the recovery again and still doesn't work. Should I just format the sd card

I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 and in an attempt to use Fresh Evo 0.5.3 I screwed something up. I downloaded the zip file while I was at work to my sd card. In Recovery I went into "install zip from sdcard" and selected the zip. When I went to reboot the screen gave me the white boot up. After about 10 seconds the screen went black, then the white boot up came back on. This loops continuously.
On top of this, I didn't install the Evo-Recovery correctly (I dont have any recovery that I know of).
I was using the DetoxEVO Theme prior to this, and attempted to go back to it after wiping both user data and cache partition. The loop continued to happen.
I'm completely lost here and really would appreciate some help. Is there a way to access my sd card and drop the Evo-Recovery in and then run the recovery? If anyone could help that would be awesome.
What did you name the file that you placed on your SD card ?
You can remove the SD card and load it onto your PC via a card reader.
I've got a card reader, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I deleted the Fresh Evo 0.5.3 zip file and tried to install a recovery backup using Evo-Recovery.zip, but it's still stuck.
u had to wipe data/clear cache before u tried flashing
Hello, tonight i tried some thing (i just wanted to change rom), but i made some mistakes... now i cannot boot my phone, it keeps rebooting. I have Leedroid ROM and it keeps rebooting after PC-boot like animation. The only thing i can access is the back button + power recovery. What can i do?
Thanks!
I have tried to wipe the cache and system, and solo deleted storage (hard reset)... but same point. I think that if i can put a update.zip on the sdcard i can flash it... but at the moment i don't have a sd card reader. Is the phone dead?
No your phone isnt dead
1. If you have a nandroid on your sd card just enter hboot and recover your system.
2. Otherwise you can perform an md5 check of the rom you downloaded and wish to flash. (just to make sure its not corrupted, i suppose your trying to flash leedroid) Enter hboot wipe everything >system wipe>cache>dalvic and then relash the rom. Oh and make sure your sd card is partitioned correctly ... a2sd, D2EXt ...
3. If problem persists go into hboot mount your phone as storage copy another rom you would like to try and then flash this, you can just follow the steps in no2 abouve again.
This should solve your problem!
The thing that i have done BAD is the format of the card... or better, i have done right things but i'm almost sure something was wrong. I formatted it from gparted, then created a 3GB FAT32 partition, and with the remaining space i created a ext4 partition. Then, i moved the files needed for the rom that i wanted to flash (MIUI) in the fat32 partition, as i seen that the ext4 part was mounted read only (dunno why).
IMPORTANT: I have done all this mounting the SD card via Clockwork recovery.
When i selected the voice "flash a zip selecting from memory card" (or something )... it said "cannot find a valid zip".
Then the only choice for me was to reboot and... that is
Now i cannot mount SD, as i don't have (at home) a SD card reader and i don't have access to CWM recovery.
Hey,
I have a problem. My SD card has broken so I bought new one (Kingston 16GB, class4) I used ROM manager to install the Clockwork Recovery and wanted to make SD partition. Unfortunately it does not work. When the device reboots into recovery I got just the image with little green android and exclamation mark! I may move in clockwork but I cannot find Partition SD in "advanced".
Do you know what is wrong? Something with recovery?? Thank you!
Partition your sd card with gparted:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
I manged to partition it after I put my old clockwork recovery on SD. But now I wanted to update my ROM and recovery tells me the same - exclamation mark and text "E: signification verification fail, installation aborted". Something wrong with recovery I think. Don't know what to do, whetever I try I always ends with this text
You need to turn off signature verfication in clockworkmod recovery:
Start recovery>install zip from sdcard>toggle signature verfiy. Then flash the rom you want.
Um...
Maybe you can use VWare to Partition your SD card.
I use the 16G,Class6, but i Partitioned it use the RA 2.0.1.
It is very easy!
About 2 weeks ago I suddenly received the SD card damaged message in the status window.
I ended up buying a Kingston 16GB to replace the original SanDisk but I'm still getting the same problem. I'm not seeing a problem with the Sandisk or Kingston on a PC.
Presently;
*If I boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery and mount the sd, I can create partitions, FAT32 and EXT3 and the phone will refuse to boot.
* If I delete the partitions and create a single FAT32 volume, the phone boots but complains that the card requires formatting. If I format the card in android it appears to work.
* I can then mount it inside of android and windows can see the contents ok.
* If I reboot into clockworkmod recovery, and mount the sdcard which was formatted inside of Android, Windows can't see the volume and gparted reports that the volume is corrupt.
I've read that this may be a hardware problem, but it seems more like software to me since clockwork is reading the card differently to android?
Many have said after replacing the phone the problems went away. Can anyone comment on this problem? I had been using Gingerburst and Data2SD for over a year prior to this issue suddenly developing. It just occurred while trying to play a song in an mp3 player and being told the file wouldn't play. I rebooted the phone and then the memory card problem developed.
Change cwm recovery to 4ext. Go here:
www.4ext.net
Download recovery updater and use to flash recovery.
When you finish flashing the recovery reboot to it and repartition your sd, first make it whole in fat32, then make partitiins as you wish.

Hi thanks for the suggestion. It seems I had a very old version of clockwork mod recovery installed, 2.0.5.7. I used Clockworkmod Recovery Manager to try and update it but it never mentioned the version of CMW Recovery which it was obtaining and attempting to flash, or that the flash was failing.
I tried to install your 4EXT recovery but it kept failing, I noticed Superuser was outdated, so I tried to upgrade that but it couldn't flash the upgrade binary. I was suspecting there was some sort of latent rooting issue present, so I then used 'revolutionary' (available from http://revolutionary.io/) to S-Off and root the phone again. This updated clockwork mod to 4.x.x.x. I used Clockwork Mod Recovery manager to flash the CWM Recovery and it reported success this time. I then used the partition manager and it seems to have successfully entered CMW Recovery and created the partition. Looks like the phone is stuck booting at the moment however, seems to hang on the HTC splash screen every time you add that second partition.
I will delete the EXT partition and go back and try to flash 4EXT again now I have rerooted and confirmed S-Off. This has been a right pain, I hope it isn't a hardware issue.
Fixed!
Partitioned directly from CMW Recovery 5.0.2, installed the rom. Booted into android, rebooted into CWM Recovery. Installed the data2sd script. Booted, waited about 20 minutes for the boot to finally complete.
Checked from both CWM recovery and Android and the card is visible on the pc and in android on both. No idea what went wrong, maybe the original volumes did become corrupt but in addition looks like something was wrong with the old version of CWM which was causing the inconsistency in the volumes being visible from android and not CMW Recovery (and vice versa).
Steps performed to fix:
* Installed Revolutionary which offers the CWM Recovery upgrade to 4.x.x.x.
* If necessary use the CWM Rom Manager from the Market to upgrade CWM Recovery to 5.x.x.x as the upgrade does not seem to flash correctly from the 2.x.x.x version I had installed (I could boot by deleting then creating a single partition with fat32).
* Use CWM Recovery to partition SD card directly with EXT partition.
* Factory reset/wipe cache/delvik cache
* Install android rom.
* Boot into android, wait for the boot to fully complete.
* Reboot into CWM Recovery and Install Data2SD.
* Boot and wait bloody ages (approx 20 minutes).
I tried flashing cyanogenmod 10 and I got (status 7) I already wiped my phone so I have no ROM
advice on what I should would be appreciated.
If you have an external sd card, you can put whatever you want to flash in there try again.

Of indeed you DO happen to have a micro sd card, when you put the rom/gapps on it, place this on it too. It's the most recent cwm touch recovery. Flash it, reboot recovery and flash your rom/gapps with no problems.

If you DONT have a micro sd card, you can put the phone in download mode and flash stock via odin from your pc
