I have the MyTouch 3G with the Cyanogen Recover 1.4.
I had the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.7 with no problems. I tried applying the Enoch theme 1.4.7 and it put my phone in a boot loop. I tried factory wiping. I don't have access to any of the cyanogenmod zip files on my SD card because the Cyanogen Updater doesn't put it on the root directory of the SD.
So is there a way to fix this? Get back to any build of the phone to work? Can I access the SD card if I connect it via USB to my PC? PLEASE HELP!!!!
dannyfal!
i don t know if I undersoot you fully.BUT>>>> sometimes the SD card plays crazy,or get dammaged easy.In case you see the files on a computer but your phone is unable to read them is no big problem.If your phone is in bootloader mode and stucked there,it is a bit bigger problem.Have you ever applyed the hard reset ???It helps a lot.After that the SD card recognized by the phone as memory card2.So the phone is looking for the simple name SD MMEMORY.Or sd card.This is just matter of time.You give a name ending sd crad.bat and you can erase this bad sector data.In this case you might loose the program and your important data with it.BUT>>> you save sd card,and other files on it.
If you can t make it work coz your phone is in boot loader modus,than you need professional help.And a new rom update.
helos * hopr helped somehow*

You can enable usb mode in Cyanogen's recovery image by connecting the usb cable, dropping in to the console and typing (without quotes) "ums_enable" move your ROM and when you're done "ums_disable"
then "reboot recovery" and reflash.
If you don't have a computer you can use the console to my the files.
mount /sdcard <- Mounts the fat32 partition
ls <- See what files/folders are in the current directory
cd nameoffolder < change directory
then once you're in the folder where the ROMs are stored (cm-update, I believe) you can either move or copy them to the root.
use 'ls' again to find the filenanme of the ROM you want to copy/move..
cp name-of-rom.zip /sdcard <- to copy the ROM to the root, or use 'mv' to move the file.
EDIT: I am an idiot. You're on a MyTouch so you can't use the console in recovery. In that case connect your phone to your computer (which has the sdk setup with drivers) and type the commands I stated about after 'adb shell'

I was running the Fresh 2.4.0 Rom. I could not install apps to the SD card. I decided to reformat my partition...I ended up reformatting every option there was
I am not able to get past the HTC screen, or copy recovery images to the SD card.
I do seem to have access to the ADB. I hope I am not way over my head with this.
Thanks,
Craig
If you have adb access you should be alright just flash a recovery and then flash a rom.
Can you adb remount and then adb shell?
yes, i can get to the ADB shell, but when i try to push the recovery image, tehn i am still lost, the phone reboots, and the white HTC screen.
i did somehow get the Fresh Rom onto the SD card and I am in the process of rebooting now. Not sure what I did different, but the SD card showed op as a removable drive, right above the Hero Icon drive. I was then able to drag the files to the Root SD and reinstall the ROM.
I seem to have a full install of the Fresh Rom 2.4.0 now.
i did nothing new, no update, just while installing some games, pc suite got a freeze, i restarted my pc and my DHD, all applications installed on the sd card are not working, but my sd card is mounted and i can access sd card root using astro, also i tried to install some apps using astro, but installation bar progress takes forever and didnt finish, even installing from market did not start.
any suggestion on what is going here?
P.S.: i tried to unmount than mount my sdcard, and nothing changed.
this is turning very serious, plz i need help.
i did a factory reset, and i did install the stock rom from sdcard, both ways keep the problem, that i cant sync the device or mak it appear as disk drive, i can only make a internet passthrough connection, but no drive no htc sync, i did a lot of tries, debug on off, connect reconnect usb, restart device, restart pc, use another pc, i also have stock rom .6, and original kernel with latest htc sync installed.
m very frustrated now, i have no recovery, the device wont accept installing anything from pc, or from market place, installing process takes forever and do nothing, the problem is in the device not the pc, is there a way to get back my device to operate properly, please help
Is you SD card corrupted? Can you access it?
i will list it again as following:
-stock rom .6 with original kernel
-radio s off
-no recovery
-sd doesnt seems corrupted cause i can access it once with astro, and i can access it with pc suite only as disk drive
-i tried with mounted and unmounted sd card (no fix)
-i did a factory reset (no fix)
-i did install the rom from sdcard (no fix)
-i tried another pc for syncing (no fix)
-i can only make internet passthrough but no disk drive or htc sync
-in market i can press on install but nothing will happen
-in desktop htc sync, if i get luck and see it, if i browse to install an apk, it will simply freeze.
please all i need urgent help, i think something bad happened to my device
How about copying all the data from yr sd card into another card? Your current card could be faulty but stil accessible by astro.
You could also try copying everything out to your PC and then reformat the card and copying everything back.
If stil don't work then start brand new by reformatting the card and reinstalling all your apps
i will try it man for sure but just for informations:
-say i have no sdcard in the device (sdcard is unmounted) should i be able to install from market or install from pc some apk?
if yes than the problem is not in the sdcard, if no than i have hope to do it.
P.S.: how can i format the sdcard if i cant access it as disk drive?
You can format from within Android, Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> Unmount first then Format.
Have you got another SD card to try with?
-i formatted the sd card, insert it in DHD (doesnt work)
-i replaced the sd card by another one (doesnt work)
-reinsert the new sd card and reboot (now problem is fixed)
-now back to the original sd card (and yes the problem is fixed)
what happened i dont know, why it's fixed i dont know, it's like a sudden problem and sudden fix, if anyone have any idea of what happened plz enlight us for future or similar issues.
I had a problem with my EVO, here is what happened and how I fixed it.
I rooted my HTC EVO 4g using Unrevoked, it worked fine, then I decided to flash a new rom, followed all the steps and I backed up my stock and wipe data/factory reset and Davik, now my phone doesn't read the sd card, is not even connecting throw usb, not even for charging.
Took the sd card out and did a FAT32 format (4 times already), downloaded the new zip to it and still not reading.
Can't do a restore because I re-formated the sd card and is not reading anyways.
I have another SD card and same thing happens.
As soon as I check install zip from card it reads
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Besides that my computer wasn't reading my phone and my phone wasn't reading my SD card.
I asked and got no answers and thats why I decided on posting this.
Here is how I fixed my EVO, that doesn't mean that is going to fix yours, but is a start.
Also I am not responsible for whatever you do with or to your phone.
For everything I put on SD card I used SD card reader
A) I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
followed instructions for only SD card fix, because I couldn't use ADB.
B) Downloaded the most current RUU here http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU/ to my computer, then to SD card, went to bootloader, flashed PC36IMG, now my phone is back to stock with out USB connection, doesn't even charge with phone turned on but at least I was able to restart into a ROM. (If you have the same problem that I had, turn phone off and charge it, you don't want to run out of battery in the mids of all this scramble.
C) Download Astro, terminal emulator and root explorer from Market.
D) Download Z4root.apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 and put it on SD Card
E) Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045 and download hboot_2.xx_soff-VX.zip to computer, open it with 7zip then I put the files from step 4 on sd card, if you ignore the part that says adb push, the next is the location of the file on the zip you just opened, got to pay attention to rename the zip with correct name. The last part that says flash_image /data/local/ has to be done manually, just make sure flash_image is on the SD card.
F) Put SD card and battery back, turn phone on as normal, it will boot into rom, open Astro and search for Z4root.apk, long press on it and select application installer, install and don't open.
G)Go to Root explorer, press Mount R/W, select SD card, search for flash_image,
long press, select move, arrow back, select data, then select local and paste image there.
H)On step 6 I couldn't get Terminal to do the first part of backup but got the second part "busybox sed -n '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,$p' /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/rsa_OEM.key"
I) After step 7 is done, pull battery and reboot into bootloader, and install PC36IMG as described and at this time I had S-OFF so I rebooted into ROM not to recovery and plug USB cable to computer, USB worked fine so at this point I have many options to finish job.
J) I used after last reboot universal auto root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448&highlight=xHausx, run it and done, now I keep flashing different roms.
Hope this help you as it helped me, I take no credit for work done buy any of the OP's of the threads mention above, I just put together all the resources in one place for you to find.
If you feel like donating, donate to them the OP's and if there is any extra I don't mind a pack of mints.
After having formatted my internal sdcard, I'm unable to flash any rom. I've installed cwm revorery and would like to push a rom to the sdcard in order to be able to flash it, because right now theres nothing on my card (its totally formatted without any system on it).
When i try to push a file via toolkit to the internal sdcard there appears the following error message:
- exec ' /system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Can anybody help me out with this issue?
It looks like the error is saying it is missing a file in /system/bin/, which makes sense since internal storage is completely wiped.
Just start a command prompt in Windows and change directory to where adb.exe is in the android sdk. Then copy the ROM you want to install into the same directory as adb. Use the command "adb push blahblahblah.zip" to push the ROM from your PC to the internal storage. Obviously replacing blahblahblah.zip with whatever the ROM filename is.
Toolkit's can be handy, but before you use one you need to know how to unlock your phone and copy files to/from your device without a toolkit. So that way when problems arise you know what probably went wrong and how to fix it.
Probably not really helpful, but I was able to push files to /sdcard when I wiped all options and formatted Data with TWRP.
Same problem here
Please help us. I accidentally did the same. Now I can't copy file to the device. CWM is still functioning but there is nothing left to flash.

Just flash TWRP recovery via Fastboot then mount the SD card as USB storage. Once you have done this you can copy a new Rom over and flash it.
Thanks for your quick reply!

You're right! I've learned that by wasting hours..
How do I change directory to where adb.exe is? what is android sdk? I'd be very happy if you could explain me some of the steps to achieve that or lead me to a tutorial where I can learn it.
Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for your reply!!
Would you mind telling me how to flash twrp recovery via fastboot?
Thx in advance!

Also:
Once you are in a ROM again, download GooManager and look on Google for the easy steps to flashing TeamWinRecoveryProject.
Thank you so much EniGmA1987!! This is awesome!
It finally worked out for me! BIG THANKS!
Your welcome
Was it easy enough even without the use of a toolkit?
Your tutorial is very clear and easy to understand. I followed all the steps, but still couldn't find the pushed ROM on my SD card (after having waited for about 5 minutes). So I mounted all you can with cwm and used the toolkit - and it worked! Probably it was the directory that was set right after having followed your tutorial. Thanks again!!
hi guys I accidentally wiped data from twrp while flashing diamond rom, now my device wont (clearly boot) and i cannot push any file in the internal storage of the phone via usb, how can i install any kind of rom now?should i use odin or adb sideload?
Remove sd card
Download rom and copy to sd card
Then put card in phone and install
If u need other recovery to flash or baseband
Download and copy that too
Or download firmware from sammobile and flash with odin
