So this is a very weird problem. Im on Tema 18.5 ROM, and I tried installing the Xluco kernel, but I got a blank screen on boot. I flashed the Temaseks ROM again and everything is normal, but when I insert an SDCARD it says checking for errors and it hangs on this for ever. I even tried another SD card and its the same thing. The weird thing is that I'm able to access the SD card from recovery!! Ive tried factory wipe (system, data...everything), and reinstalling the ROM, but the problem is still there. I tried the SD cards in my phone and they are recognized immediately.
Can anyone decipher what could be going wrong?
Best,
Sam

Hi,
Was running on LeeDroid 1.9, wiped and flashed for OpenDesire 3.4, came up fine then rebooted for the 3.4.2 patch and now my Desire just will not go past the HTC logo screen no matter what I do.
I can boot into recovery and have full access to everything, tried formatting the SD card and loading different ROMS but stuck @ the HTC green logo on white background.
Even Revoked3 again but the prob is not getting into the Recovery menu, its getting past that HTC screen.
Any info / idea's / help?
Thanks
Russ
If your phone turns on its not bricked, there will be a way to fix any issues your having, its just finding the correct one.
When flashing other roms did you wipe everything?
Data
Dalvik Cache
Ext parititon (if you have one)
Not wiping Dalvik is the number one reason roms get stuck bootlooping on bootscreen1.
Alternatively, it is booting but your not waiting long enough, you can always run adb logcat while booting to see if they phone is actually doing anything.
Hi,
Thank you for replying....
Figured it out that it is the SD card, here is the situation:
- Boot into recovery but cannot mount nor format the SD card
- Can see the SD card in MAC/ Windows and formated it Fat32
- Can boot without SD card
- Can boot with another SD card which is only 128Meg so cannot get LeeDroid back on it to reflash that ROM
I obviously need to format the SD card proper and it looks like I need to use Gparted but that looks like a HUGE Linux ISO download unless you know of a MAC version of it I can use?
Thanks
Found a 2Gig SD Card, got LeeDroid back on it, flashing and hoping I can boot with the original SD card so I can format with ROM manger but thinking it wont boot up with the SD card in regardless of the ROM, lets hope!
if you don't manage to boot it up. find this in the forum "PB99IMG.zip" w/o the quotes. format your sd card and put the archive in root of sd card. after that turn on your phone by pressing volume down and power on/off. wait till phone recognizes the archive and follow onscreen directions. phone should boot normally as unrooted. use unrevoked to root again and flash any rom you want.
post result.
Okay I am up but not on my original SD card, using a spare.
In recovery mode my phone refuses to mount nor format the card but can see it 100%
Seen some posts of a ADB cmd I need to use or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!
I ran "unrevoked" on my phone again and it booted when I had that problem.
But I took out the sd card when I did that. Not sure if it helps. But who knows.
Tried that, booting without the card is fine, with the card in is the issue, phone cannot see it.
My dinc is set up like this:
9.01 radio
.92 bootloader
I flashed a rom and then it said my sd card went bad. Tried flashing another rom and it problem persisted. As a last resort i tried to reformat my sd card with no luck. got an error. I then tried to flash through recovery and did a full wipe (my mistake for doing this) but cant flash another rom since the sd card it bad. When i restart it gets stuck at the splash screen.
I bought another sd card and placed a rom which i know works on it and it seemed to have installed fine, but now when i restart i get stuck at the splash screen like i did before.
Any ideas?
Maybe i need to find the original update.zip file from when i first rooted? My sd card is empty except for that rom i put on it.
I found it. Nope, didnt work. Maybe i need to flash a recovery, though i have none anymore.
In case someone else comes across the same problem, i fixed it.
The sd card was ruined. unable to reformat or anything. Luckily i back up my sd card recently so i transfered everything to my new sd card. Went into recover and did a recovery of an old backup.
I've decided to try a new rom today, Iceandfire v1.6. I was previously using sense ginger and just thought I'd try something new since I was bored and curious. I downloaded the rom and gapps and booted into recovery. I wiped data/format and cache aswell as dalvik. I installed from SD card the iceandfire and gapps and reboot the phone. Upon the first boot I got an error saying "Damaged SD card" and suggested I format. So I clicked yes to format but that did nothing at all and just gave me another Damaged SD Card error.
So I said, "OK then, my phone doesn't get along with this ROM, I'll just go back to sense ginger." Rebooted into recovery, started a full wipe again, only this time it gave the error "unable to mount /sdcard/ .android_secure!" and said failed to wipe. So I thought "HMMM!!!" and reboot the phone back into iceandfire rom and wanted to try mounting my card to PC to try formatting that way. I clicked mount and it has been loading since I started writing this post up until about 5 seconds ago and just went back to the previous "Turn on USB storage" screen.
Now I'm out of ideas....If I can't format or mount the SD card, what can I do??
EDIT: As it turns out, the iceandfire rom I flashed turned out to be for the Milestone. I found it in the G2 forum and thought it was for the G2! I thought milestone was part of the ROM name...So I flashed a rom that wasn't made for my phone and now I can't mount SD card. Any solution?
EDIT 2: Was able to wipe the sd card completely, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure how. I put my SD card in another android phone, got the same damaged sd card error, put the card back into my phone, wiped data, successful wipe, went to flash a previous rom, said no files found. mounted the sd card to PC, NO files at all on sd card. Downloading new rom now and will try to flash. Perhaps this thread could help somebody else who might have similar problem. Will edit again once I've tried flashing.
EDIT 3: Unsuccessful. I downloaded MIUI and flashed. It happened to be the only file on SD card after transferring. When I installed it, it just instantly installed, so...it didn't install. So I reboot and now it's gone back to the previous rom, even after wiping data. So perhaps I'm missing some core files? I have NO idea. Should I only need a rom like MIUI for it to work? I honestly don't know. Now that I've rebooted into recovery, there are two new folders on the SD card, lost.dir and Android. I'm formatting again and going to try to flash MIUI again. - It gives the error "Can't open MIUI.zip (bad)". Trying to download "Stock Gingerbread" rom. Will update.
EDIT 4: Once again, unsuccessful. Perhaps I'm overlooking something? Tried two different roms, neither will flash. Atleast I'm able to access my SD card. Does the root apply to internal memory or SD card? I could put a specific rom on my brothers SD card and flash it through there? Perhaps that'll replace the necessary files I might be missing (if that's the case). Please somebody help me. I know this is a lengthy thread, it's just I've tried to provide the most details I could.
EDIT 5: All is well. I used sd card from another phone to install a new rom. Everything is working now.

I accidentally reformatted my droid incredible 2 /system while in clockwork recovery now no computer will detect the phone
tried restoring from backups, but still same problem
Did you wipe before restoring backups? Did you reflash the ROM? The /system folder is replaced every time you put a new ROM on.
yes ive rewiped every single time, and ive installed 3 different roms, cyanogenmod nightly 56 , rmk 2.3.3 and virtuous unity 2.37.0, all with same results, phone charges but i can not mount the sd.
ive even restored from back ups and nothing
ive tried connecting with windows 7, and while its trying to read the hardware
"android driver 1.0" fails (if that helps)
Does your phone recognize the sd card?
have you tried formatting the sd card itself? If not try that, format as fat32. I've had this issue before and it turned out my sdcard was corrupted. Did you try another card?
Yes, my phone does recognize my SD card, I've tried a different card and same result, I tried to format the second card to test out, and nothing. I then, for the hell of it, installed another ROM (incredible sensation) but this time through ROM manager, and I updated my recovery to 5.0.2.0. and now it works again, so thanks guys, maybe it was a combination of all these tips.

Is debugging checked? Are you selecting charge mode or disk drive mode?
Hello,
So i installed CWMR touch installer 1.01 on my android but then i did something stupid...
I went to CWMR mod and i installed CWM v6.0.3.6.zip and after rebooting my phone, it cannot detect my SD card and it's rebooting itselves every 10 secs... i tried to reset the phone but it didn't work.
What should i do?
EDIT: So i entered on recovery mode after rebooting the device and i wiped everything. After that, it seems my phone didn't reboot every time by itselves but it still cannot read my SD card...
EDIT2: solved the problem there were a weird file in my sd card (.091271271) i deleted him and everything came back to normal
