hi,
i had a whole bunch of issues with my defy (self inflicted) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12349345#post12349345
anyhow, i have now managed to flash, update.zip (which happened to be for t-mobile usa) and now i cant get my, or any other formatted sdcard to work???
when i put one in it begins to mount the sd card, then instantly says "sd card is safe to remove"
i want to flash my defy with blueginger but i cant work out how to seeing as i cant access my sd card?
luckily the phone is still rooted but i cant put clockwork or anything else on as it wants to install it on my sd card, is there a way around this?

thanks to all that gave me help along the way!!!!
Help..
I'm in the same situation as earlier described..
I've been trying to get Adlxmod F4D on to my defy, but in the process I screwed up a few things..
I'm back on track though and I've currently flashed my defy with the 3.4.3-11 .. BUT now my problem is first of all, that after I've rooted the phone using superoneclick (and also before doing this) my phone says that I've got NO SD card.. When I do the recovery reboot to wipe and restore then my touch screen doesn't work (it boots, though).. It's the same if i tryk to boot using power + vol down - here I get no response when I push in the down right corner..
This problem is not only with my 16gb sd card (which was in the phone during wipe + flash + root), but also when I try the 2gb that came with the phone.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem??

Hi,
I've got problem to launch Modaco ROM 2.8. Previously i had 2.7 and I wanted to check out Motion Blur ROM. I have done nandroid backup and flashed new rom. Because i couldn't login to Motoblur account (It's needed to use this ROM) I decided to restore previous ROM. I think by mistake i pressed nandroid buckup again and i lost my Backup. I managed to copy 2.8 ROM to my SD but when i removed safety USB storage I noticed SD card icon with information that my Card is possible damaged. Since then i had problems to us SD. Windows wanted to format my card every time I tried access. I checked what it like in Partition manager. It showed me only one partition Fat 32 1.8GB (should be 1.5GB Fat32 and Ext3 + swap partitions) So I format it again and created new linux partitions. Windows could read SD but Mobile still showed Damaged Card. So I restarted Mobile and now i can't do anything. It's going to Hero Logo (waves robots) and then going to HTC Logo and then goes back to Hero Logo. Is it just because my SD is broken and buying new SD will solve the problem ? or did I break my mobile permanently ?
Thanks
Sorry for my poor English
///edit I just removed SD and it's working . Need to buy new SD
i've experienced a very similar problem where it reported my sdcard to be damaged and worse my phone won't even boot.
what i did was to remove the sdcard and it booted fine ( i had mcr 2.5 working), then noticed sdcard reported no issue. then simply rebooted to recovery, wiped, and applied mcr2.8 zip file.

Had a similar problem didnt have booting problems though, solved the problem in exactly the same way as kroosh. The problem stems from the swapper app which did come as part of the rom but is now only optional.
I had swapper too & guess you are right.
Unfortunately the 2.8 is getting sluggish and not sure if it was the swapper as well. I will try to restore 2.5 and see how it behaves
My card wasn't recognized because it was formatted in wrong format. I managed to install new recovery image v1.2.3 and i have created partition from there and its working fine now.
Hi
I had the same problem with my hero, if you disconnect the usb wrong ect. And the "damaged SD" error appears. I first didn't know what I was doing wrong, (was new to Android) and I re-formatted my SD card twice.
Anyway, after a while, I relize just turn off the phone, remove card, wait a few seconds, and put all back together.
Hope this works for you
Regards
I was upgrading my SD card copied the fakeflash/clockworkmod update.zip onto my new sd card along with my new rom then put it in the phone and tried to boot into recovery.
I get the standard menu chose bootloader then chose recovery as I have done many times before. But instead of getting the black screen with the triangle with the ! symbol in it it just stayed on the white screen with the HTC logo.
Odd fair enough I did a battery pull and then tried to boot normally but got exactly the same thing.
Ok that's strange put my old SD card back in, but no joy cant boot normally and cant get into recovery.
Is there anything I can do or have I just lost my phone for good?
You just need to put a sd card in the phone (a sd card which u are going to use permanently)you dont need to copy anything to sd card apart from rom and radio before u flash it, reinstall your rom + radio and things should be ok, happened with me when i got a new sd card.
Seems VERY similar to a problem i had. Instead of HTC logo though - mine was on o2 splash screen as it is branded.
Have a look at my thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776120
.....it was solved at the end.
If you are going down this route, be aware though you will want an unbranded RUU file and you will lose everything on the phone!
But a wiped working phone is better than a full non-working one!
Good luck

Wrong forum i'd imagine, either way
Mount it from recovery, and on a win 7 machine (probably others but i dont know) you want to repair the disk without formatting it. This fixed it for me when i had similar trouble.

thanks i will give it a shot
This usually happens to me if I unplug the phone from the computer while in usb mode without using the eject disk feature in Windows 1st. Others have told me a few ways to fix it. The 1 above should work but you can also remove the card from the phone and connect it directly to phone and use check disk. Normally all I have to do is boot into RA recovery and toggle usb, wait a few seconds and then toggle back.
I had the same issue today. I just said fugg it and usked caulkins format all and then did the normal wipes and then flashed my rom again. I already had my apps backed up so it only took a bit to set the phone up. Weird thing is that I could still access SD card via disk drive on the phon.e The evo just couldnt see it thru the phone.
So im a noob at this stuff so i guess i kinda f***** myself here. I was using Virtuous Unity, then the 1.24.0 update came out. I did a full wipe and installed via clockwork recovery, I got boot loops. I try going to bootloader to get into recovery but i cant get to it because it keeps scanning for a radio i was about to flash. How can i connect my phone to my cpu to delete the radio? This has been frustrating me for hours. Any help would be greatly apreciated!
Same Problem here!
Do you still have the PC10IMG.zip on your sd card? If so, just take out the card, pop it into a computer with a card reader, delete the file, then boot into the bootloader. You should be able to get into CWM recovery by holding the camera + power buttons together though.

I had the same problem, regarding booting. Seams that my zip file vas corrupt.
Downloaded it again. copyed it to my sd card (clockwork sd mount), deleted the corrupt one (I should have known - it was way 2 small). did recower from sd bootet - and its working like a dream
So I just found another sd card and did the whole process from scratch. Guess the download from the virtuous site was corrupted :/ redownloaded it and its working great! Htc watch and reader are working now, i love it
boot loops on unity 2.39
im having the same annoying boot loops even at unity 2.39, is there a solution to this problem yet ?

So are you or are you not able to boot in to recovery? Kinda confused. You said that you tried but no luck but then you rebooted and did a clear storage. So were you able to boot in to recovery the second time? If you can, do a full wipe and try flashing a different rom. You can download one to your PC, boot in to recovery, enable the usb drive, push the file to your phone and flash.
Ummm sorry for the confusion .... I'm talking about I held the volume down and power button to get to the screen I believe it's "bootloader" and tried to select recovery so maybe I can do a backup to wen it previously worked but no luck cause the phone wasnt reading the sd card with the backup on it! So I went back to the "bootloader" and did a "clear storage" it worked but the phone took forever to come on.... I did that about 2 times when the phone wouldnt boot pass the htc screen but now it no lingers works doing that! And to answer you guys question no I'm not able to boot in recovery just to bootloader with the options
Fast boot
Recovery
Clear storage
Reboot
USB hboot
If you guys are still confused let me know I will explain further more the phone will not access recovery at All!
As asked... what recovery did you load? Amon_RA or CWM? Also, what HW version do you have?
O I'm very sorry.... CMW
Hw info:
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version 2.15.00.0808
Kernel version: [email protected] #1 Sat apr 30 04:36:42 edt 2011
Build number: MIUIAndroid 7.29
And to answer your previous question I don't know how to install a new recovery thru hboot .... I hope this helps you
If you can get to your sd card via a card reader to load a new recovery, then follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026. Otherwise, try this first to see if you can at least get sd access again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Ok will try how do I get a card reader?
If you are on a laptop, most recent ones will have a slot for it and may even have the dock/reader to place it in. You can also get an external one that connects via USB at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack. Basically anywhere that sells SD cards. Usually around the camera section. You can also check tigerdirect.com or newegg.com if you can wait to receive it via mail. They usually have bargains that you can take advantage of. If this is your primary phone, then go to a store to get one so you can get your phone working.
Or if you can't get your hands on a card reader, you could stick your card in a different phone (old phone, friends phone, neighbors phone, phone at sprint store, whatever). Then download amonRa recovery from xda (download the PC36IMG version of it). Move it to the root of SD card (i.e. NOT in any folder) using some sort of file explorer on the borrowed phone.
Then put card back into your Evo, boot into bootloader (using power and volume down method you used earlier).
Bootloader should scan your card, find the PC36IMG, and ask if you want to do the update.
Hope this helps.

Ok thank you I'm going to do it in the morning will this still work for me even thou my phone won't read my sd card??
Your hboot/bootloader should still read your SD card fine. Unique problem, but should read fine. You remember which hboot version you have?
sent from AOKP heaven
No but I'll find out of you tell me how to
Well, not really necessary to know, unless you're trying to use some fastboot commands. But, you said you CAN still get into bootloader by holding volume and pressing power, right? Once in bootloader, it will say your hboot info in upper left corner.
In any case, follow the above info about getting recovery as a PC36IMG onto your SD somehow, and boot into bootloader. Good luck. Report back.
