Do not format via cwm. Did you use bootmenu or only cwm?

[Q] Stuck on start HTC screen (start screen)

So i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1040121
i rooted my phone yesterday and today tried install that rom i installed it with
http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire-2/ guide after install it said it was succesfully installed and i tried reboot it and now i cannot open it normally.
I can go recovery mode by pressing power + volume down
Can some1 help me what should i do?

In most circumstances it is because your sd card is not properly formatted or you have flashed the wrong data table. I think it is probably becuase of the sd card, make sure you format with a fat 32 and a ext4 partition. You can do this very easily with your recovery program or with gparted. If this fails I would flash a simple rooted rom to get the phone up and running and then read the forum. I assure you that is is not as complicated as it all seems

can some1 give me link for guide to format with a fat 32 and a ext4 partition
or simple rooted rom to i can get my phone back to work?

This is a rooted stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833310
Download this, put it on your sd card and flash it exactly as you flashed your previous rom, this will get the phone working again. I would then simply download and install Clockwork Mod recovery or 4ext recovery, both these will sort you sd card out. You simply want a fat32 with a 1gb ext 3 partition. Once this has been done you can then look at installing more complex roms.
If you get stuck lt me know and I will try and help, I was in the same place a year ago!!!!

Sorry, use this rooted rom as the other link requires sd ext

.... because you're partitioning your SD-CARD.. and as far as I know that can be taken out of the phone no?
you can use gparted or minitool partition wizard (google the names). Most ROMs require a minimum of 512mb EXT Partition but 1GB is advisable. EXT3 is preferable, as the faster EXT4 is not compatible with all ROMS

u've asked for the link... i'gave u the link...
use a cardreader and boot not from ur smart, but from usb and do the same steps as in video described

[Q] Can't seem to install SlimBean correctly, help please?

So am trying to install SlimBean on my play, but I am having trouble getting it installed but I don't know if its that or the kernel (Turbo Kernel v3.1) which is causing the trouble. So here is a step by step of what I did;
1. As per Turbo Kernal instructions, flashed FTF in thread for 'vendor-unlocked partition layout'.
2. All fine, booted into stock rom.
3. Flashed Kernel.
4. All fine, boots kernel to welcome screen. (Note: I get the welcome screen all the time, and I don't have to press a key to get to the boot menu, this doesn't seem right to me?)
5. As per Turbo Kernel instructions I did the following - 'Enter Multiboot Menu (Vol-Down key) and go to Internal > Recovery, then format system, data and cache before doing anything else. Very important'
6. Still boots to 'Welcome' screen.
7. Entered the first slot and loaded TWRP recovery.
8. Mounted SD Card and copied SlimBean .zip to the SD Card.
9. Selected 'Install' in TWRP, selected ROM and installed fine.
10. Choose reboot.
11. Phone still boots to 'Welcome' screen.
I have tried the instructions in the Turbo Kernel thread to get rid of the boot loop, (open recovery and choose 'reboot' from there) but still can't get it to load the ROM. Not even sure if it has installed properly. I have also tried switching recovery to CWM, and installing the ROM that way, but I can't get it to mount the SD Card. I also tried the 'Repair' function in Turbo Kernel but that has no effect either.
Does anyone have any ideas where I went wrong, or how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

Question [Q] Can't seem to install SlimBean correctly, help please?
Right now first of all I am no expert on Turbo Kernel I have used it for a few times on my play but my main phone is arc so I am using a different version of twrp.
Now looking at your instructions one thing I did different than you was never to mount or unmount SD card while in Turbo Kernel,I think CosmiDan even say's not to do this as system .img's are stored on sd card (maybe wrong)
What I used to do was take my SD card out and copy the rom to flash to my SD card with a card adapter or when phone was on via usb never while in recovery!
I would try to flash kernel again delete the system img that Turbo creates on your SD card and do as you have been doing but put Slimbean on SD card first.
Hope that helps :good:

try Clockwork mod recovery and try to install the rom then just give it TIME like 5 min or so till the slimbean logo pops up

Thanks for the reply but perhaps I'm not being clear in the OP. The phone always enters the Turbo Kernel Multiboot menu, regardless of if i press anything or not. I can't install via CWM as when i try to i get an error about not being able to mount the sd card to find the ROM file.
@tallman: Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately i don't have a compatible adapter for the card. I will try flashing the kernel again, any thoughts on why i always get the Multiboot/Welcome Screen?
EDIT: I have sorted it. Turns out I needed to partition the SD card in the recovery menu after wiping. Once I did that, USB Mounting and SD Card mounting worked just fine. Installed the ROM via CWM and it booted automatically. Thanks for the replies anyway chaps, now to go an play.

On the Mulitiboot/Welcome screen issue only thing I can comment about that is what CosmicDan mentions in is post below
Q) My device keeps going into the Boot Menu, even though I never pressed the key to enter!
A) This is a bootloader thing and is rare, to fix it just enter Recovery (for any slot) and select reboot from there.
But I think you tried that anyway Like I said I looked at your post and tried to think what I did different to what you did to get it working and as I said it was only the fact That I copied rom's to my SD card when not in recovery to be honest I transfer all my rom's that way.
Don't forget if you install again to delete the system images on your SD card that Twrp creates so that you have got fresh images and start by installing Slimbean in 1st slot
Have you tried installing Slimbean with another JB kernel then when you have it installed swap back and install Turbo Kernel

Looks like you missed my 'edit'.
I'm all sorted now. Had to partition the SD card in TWRP recovery. Slim Bean is a little disorientating, I can't seem to add my google account, but I think I need to install the add ons for it.
Thanks again.

[Q] Sd card issue (CM 10)

Hello folks,
Recently I have flashed CM 10 via CWM 6.0.3.2 on my Samsung Galaxy W. (I followed this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795)
Everything worked out fine (yay) exept for two issues I have:
1. My SGW doesn't recognize my Sd card (internal) at all. (though internal is mounted in cwm menu)
I have several folders regarding my sd and external sd:
- sdcard> tells me it is "unplugged" (in German> translation might differ) when I enter via file manager
- mnt/sdcard> here it tells me my sd card is unplugged as always
- storage/sdcard0> unplugged
- external_sd> it tells me sd card unplugged if I enter
- mnt/external_sd >here I can enter all of my folders
- storage/sdcard1> here I can enter again
2. My SGW can't mount my external sd anymore. I can clearly enter my external sd's files, but apparently I cannot mount my PC. Especially not with Multimount because it requests me to mount my internal sd (issue 1).
So how do I get it to work properly? - is it possible to do it via Terminal Emulator?
Specifications:
- Samsung Galaxy W
- Android Version 4.1.2.
- Kernel Version: 3.0.80-cyanogenmod-gc689589
[email protected] #1
- Cyanogenmod Version: 10-20130605- UNOFFICIAL-ancora
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, I have similar issues with internal storage after flashing to 4.2.2 and also 4.1.2. Model is galaxy W previously 2.3.6 stock.
At root, i have
/data, which seems to be my internal storage as the FX file explorer show it has a storage of 1.07gb
/external_sd, which contains my files in micro sd card
/sdcard, which ES say SDCard unmounted
/storage, which contains sdcard0 (SDCard unmounted), sdcard1 (micro sd), usbdisk (SDCard unmounted)
In the andriod settings > storage, I can see internal storage with total space 1.07gb, but unable to mount it.
My camera and gallery says "No external storage available".
What should I do? Please help

This can be done for the SDcard you can unplug and plug directly to an other device like an PC, but not with the internal.
So better try the following. Secure your files if you can. Reboot into recovery and format there both. Rebooot into CM10 or whatever ROM you are using and change your USB operation mode from MTP to Mass Storage.

You probably mean back to stock Samsung ROM. But how will this fix corrupted partitions? And why "must" if there are probably more simple ways to fix it rather than flashing roms forth and back?
First of all he should format both and switch to Mass Storage mode to see if this fixes his issue. Flashing ROMs still can be tryied as a last resort.

I think you are mixing something up. First of all he didn´t say he can´t mount / access it from CWM Recovery but from a running ROM. This is two different things so it still should be possible to access both in CWM Recovery and to do a format.
Secound. Flashing a ROM will not format the internal Storage but only the partition where the ROM will be flashed to. They are not the same, so this is also two different things. So even if you flash a ROM but are having corrupted SDcards (Internal and external) they will stay corrupted till you fix this.
And this is why I suggested to first boot into RECOVERY, format both and finally after rebooting change to Mass Storage as the MTP Mode is not always working very well. If this doesn´t help he still can flash back to stock ROM.
However now I´m just repeating what I already said before. If you can´t get it, then I´m sorry for you.
