Tired to update, stuck in reboot loop.

Unsure of what happened. I attempted (Using ROM Manager) to try a different ROM (Virt), rebooted, and I am now stuck in a constant reboot loop at the "HTC" logo. I am still able to get into recovery, but somehow my backups are gone, SD card shows almost 4gigs open. I did backup my SD card (with recovery) on my PC. S-off, hboot: .79, radio at 2.15.00.07.28.
I've attempted factory reset, clearing cache / davlik, but I am still unable to clear this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

If you can get into recovery then flash a new ROM from within there.

The problem is getting it on the SD card.. I don't have a SD card reader. Is that what is needed? I have Skyraider 3.3.3 on my desktop, that would probably be the easiest way. Is there any way to transfer it to the phone without one while in recovery?
Update: was able to get SD recognized by PC, copied Skyraider_333 over to SD. Installing via recovery as we speak. (Fingers crossed)

Of course just go to mounts and storage in clockwork mod recovery, you can mount your USB storage from there and then put ROMs onto the card.

Working... Installed OTA without difficulties. Only issue is that it took twice to install, but so far so good.
Once again, thank you!

Phone wont boot any clockwork build help

Dont know if this is the correct forum to post but here it goes,
phone has MAGLDR 1.11
clockwork 1.1
originally flashed jdms 1.6 nand and was working perfectly
i tried to add the files from the updated clockwork 1.2 booted up clockwork as it normaly would, backed up my current system through through clockwork, i downloaded and put the updated version of jdms 1.7 beta and it would just bootloop, read that i needed a partition and i did it through clockwork, still bootlooped but it woped my sd card's contents with the partition, tried reformatting sd card added a new rom to start from scratch and it just satys at the htc logo or the android on rollerskates logo, tried putting the recovery image had back and it said it couldnt recognize md5 sum so it wouldnt do it. ive tried three bulds and all of them get stuck at the htc or cyanogen screen, i am doing all this from ubuntu, do i need to just start over and reflash through DAF? i dont have access to a windows machine so it will be a while, anybody have any suggestions? im phoneless at the moment, thanks in advance

Wipe cache after restore.
When bootloop, restart phone, start Clockwork mode - wipe cache.
Then restart phone.

Same Issue
I have the same issue of a bootloop... this seems to be the only place i could find with someone who is having a similar issue as i am.
Steps ive done:
Used Task29 w/radio 2.08.50.05 first.
Ive installed HSPL3
Ive also installed MAGLDR 1.13
Ive partitioned the SD to 13 gb FAT32 and 1 GB Ext3 --- both in primary
Ive flashed recovery 400
installed recovery files onto sd directly
I added the zipped CMYLXGOroms.stock.desire.HD.v1.1.5n.NAND.RMNET.NO-SQUASH-RAFPIGNA.1.7OC_CWM file directly to the SD card root.
then I install the CMYLXGOrom and it installs correctly, and then it boots up, and i see the android welcome screen for a second, and it starts its bootloop.
I've tried this with several differnt roms that are for the 1024 LEO but I get the same result each time.
Any help would be much appriciated!

HELP. clockworkMod recovery can't mount /sdcard

Hi all, I'm traing to install a fix, and clockworkMod recovery can't mount /sdcard.
do anyone have a clue on how to fix this?
tks!

I am also having this issue,
i'm using an 8G and 2G sd cards, tried to format them through the computer and through the phone but with no luck
i'm using clockwork recovery 2.5.1

try making a folder on your sd card, clockworkmod.
tried that, and it started working for me, dunno if it was a coincidence though.

I had the same problem. I think its due to the original JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0 sbf.
SO... Use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
When choosing your firmware select the Nordic 2.2.2 (Froyo) version [JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005]. Then re-root using : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709
Then you should be able to mount sd card in CWM.

Please tell me how you installed CM7 on the Defy.
I've been trying to install a custom ROM (CyanogenMod) all day on my phone but now I'm pulling my hair out by the clumps. This seems to be one stubborn device to play with. My desire didn't give me any trouble at all.
Please help with the following queries I have:
I have installed 2nd init boot and then was accessing clockworkmod through that.
But when I try backing up my ROM I get the error "cannot mount /sdcard".
On the defy if I press up and power on I get the default bootloader with battery check. I can only get into clockworkmod from the recovery app.
On my desire, I can directly boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by pressing up and power button. I don't remember now how I got t to do that, but I would like that in my Defy too. I suppose this will solve the sdcard problem?
What must I do to install a custom ROM on defy??
EDIT: I followed the cyanogenmod wiki at first and in their method I got stuck at the cp -R command, where I got the error "cannot stat, no such file or directory found" or something like that. I'm at my wits' end here, please help me!

This is hell annoying but simple solution worked on LGO2X. Reinsert SDCARD while in Recovery. It should work in all devices. Nothing stupid to try. Tell me...

It is because you formated your sd card with some other file system. Just go to settings / sdcard and storage . Unmount your sdcard and format it. It will get mounted in cwm from now on .

but how??? its UNDER the battery!!!

Still Can't mount sdcard, after formatting and creating folder on sdcard
phone and software details:
ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8
Motorola Defy Eclair, OS 2.1, kernel 2.6.29
SndInitDefy_2.0.apk (Defy 2ndinit)
Android Bootmenu v0.6.1
USB Debugging is NOT on when I reboot.
I formatted the card, remounted it in normal operation, then tried going into the Android Bootmenu and mounting the sdcard, formatting it, backup but none of them worked b/c it couldn't mount the sdcard.
I also tried doing the same thing, but not remounting it in normal operation and shutting it off to no avail.
I also tried adding the folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod but with no luck.
Specifically, when do Custom Recovery, then in ClockworkMod Recovery, do backup and restore and do backup, I get the error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0{
(No such file or directory)
Can't mount /sdcard
This particular version of the OS makes rooting very difficult. z4root doesn't work as it exploited some security feature that was figured in the firmware update. Since I have a mac, even after using mono, I was not able to get SuperOneClick working (it hangs on "waiting for device"). So the only way I found to root was from this post:

Same issue on Galaxy S Plus
Have to same situation here with a Galaxy S Plus (9001). Everything works great mounted on the stock rom, but not in clockworkmod. Card is formated as FAT32 with clustersize at 1024 bytes. It's another phone but it might be the same issue ... Reinsert card while in recovery doesn't work, it reboots the recovery I think. Putting a folder 'clockworkmod' on the sdcard also doesn't work.

[Q] Update Problems cm7 on sd

Have been running cm7 7.03 for quite some time originally installed using verygreens method with sd card cm7 installer 1.2. Decided I wanted to update to cm7 7.2 so thought I would update verygreens installer to 1.3 before updating to new version of cm7. Put update-genimage-1.3.zip on boot of sd card booted to recovery installed file and it appeared to install correctly rebooted and now I am stuck on Loading ... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not install that zip that way. You have to unzip it to the .img file and burn to the SD with win32diskimager like you did the first time.

Thanks for the info. I was following instructions that indicated that I could put the update-genimage-1.3.zip on the boot portion of the sd and apply the update through cwm. I did not want to reimage my sd card as I have allot of information on it.

ok, don't know why it got stuck then. You used CWM recovery on emmc to flash it? The recovery script on SD would not install it properly.

Yes, that's correct. Now when I put the sd card in I just get stuck on screen that says loading and I have to take the card out to boot back into the nook software. I did make a backup of my emmc with cwm before I started this but I am unable to get into recovery at this time. I am not sure what my next steps should be. Start the process over with another sd card and then try and salvage the info on my original sd.

I just read the instructions in thread and you do not use CWM recovery on emmc to flash that file. You are supposed to use the verygreen recovery script that is on the SD. By using CWM on emmc, you flashed the new recovery files to emmc and replaced CWM. That's why you can't get back in it. I think you can recover by putting the update- zip back in the root partition of the SD and trying to boot to the SD recovery. Then when you have got your SD repaired and flashed 7.2, you can reinstall CWM to emmc with ROM Manager.

I can certainly try that but I am now confused on which update.zip file to put on the boot portion of the sd to hopefully fix my sd card. Thanks for your help.

If you have one of the newer u-boot.bin files... you hit "n" when booting up and select SD card... Recovery... that will be verygreen's recovery mode.
If you still have the original u-boot.bin from genimage 1.2 (not very likely at all... since CM7 has had new u-boot.bin's for a while now) you would have to use the old timing method of power + n for about 5 seconds.

When I try holding the n key the screen comes back with Loading ... but never moves past that screen. Actually the nook will not boot at all when the sd card is in even if I do not hold down the n key it goes right to the Loading ... screen and just hangs there. If I shut it down and remove the card it boots into the nook operating system fine. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I have attached a file to the board. Download and unrar this file. There should be 4 files there. Take your SD card out and put in your PC. Copy these files to the boot partition, overwriting the files that are there. Take the update-geniimg1.3...zip out and put the update- ...7.2 ...zip in. Then put the card back in the nook. Boot and while booting hold the n key. A boot menu should come up. Choose SD and recovery and continue booting. It should install cm7.2 and you are done. When in CM7, use ROM Manager to reinstall CWM to emmc.
EDit: I added a second file. Unrar and add these two files to the boot partition too.
Edit 2: Files removed after user successfully repaired SD

Transferred the files and did the update everything is running great. Thank you so much for your help it is greatly appreciated.

Reboot into Recovery fail?

Ok so I rooted and installed CMW on like the 23rd of June and it installed CMW onto my phones internal SD (I guess it didn't recognize the external SD). Apparently now there is a fix to flash CMW onto the SD card but I can't find any instructions on how to uninstall CMW from the internal SD... Do I just delete the folder and then flash CMW onto the external?
The second problem is that now that I have updated my rom manager and CMW to the latest version I can't get into recovery. It just boot loops and I have to boot into download mode and reboot from there.
Help is greatly appreciated! I want to be able to try CM10 so bad lol.

You seem a bit confused on the CWM works -- Your first problem, really isn't a problem at all.When you flash a different version of CWM, there isn't any need to delete any folder. With that said, some back-ups from one version(s) of CWM may not work with others.
If you are on T-Mo as your info says, download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, and follow the instructions from this thread very carefully - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552
This should fix both your problems and also install the version of CWM that is compatible with both internal and external storage.
