hello everyone ,
i have installed android 2.3 on my gt540 rather easy but ,now it doesn't recognize my SD card , im really not sure if this is common error but i couldn't find any similar topic on this, so please help with this ,i cant transfer any data from my PC and therefor can't finish system install....
Re-flash
A re-flash is recommended along with a full wipe.
How did you flash the ROM?
Fully wipe data and reflash by typing:
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system <enter system image here>
fastboot flash boot <enter boot image here>
Definitely replace brackets with the images.
An example would be:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
And remember that each stage is in every line. So the first one: which is "fastboot -w" will delete all your data. Typing all three lines at once won't work.
AND REMEMBER THAT "fastboot -w" with DELETE ALL YOUR DATA, so backup if you like
First of all ,thank you for helping
Second , perhaps i messed up my sd card when i installed fastboot on my phone since it had none , i used this link (h**p://***.lg-phones.org/how-to-install-roms-on-lg-optimus-gt540.html) to flash ROM , there was a warning to pull out the sd card , i haven't ,but after i did it was normal when i plugged phone in my PC sd card was there and phone could see her , that's whats weird and still don't think its problem with sd card (although i could me mistaken).
I will be trying reflash next couple of minutes , just hope it will help
What do you exactly mean by saying
but after i did it was normal when i plugged phone in my PC sd card was there and phone could see her

So your phone recognized the sd card after flashing with CM7 when you plugged it in the computer or when did it happen ?
After I flashed and installed fastboot , i plugged my phone on PC and i could enter sd card , but after i flashed to android 2.3 phone could not see sd card , i tried with another sd card and phone could see her... So i probably burned sd card somehow..
Is there any way to get her back by the way? :/
You might not have the drivers or settings enabled. When you plug in the your phone to a computer, it should show a drive for your phone and you need to enable Mass Storage from your phone. There should be a mass storage notification on your phone. Also try disabling USB debugging from Settings --> Applications --> Development, and then select USB debugging.
Hi
I have HTC hero with CWM recovery. I was in recovery and mounted the sd card, copied few files from sd-card to comp and then on the phone I just clicked back button then realised I should have Unmounted that, having done that on the next reboot it gave me an error to remove the card and insert it, I realised something is wrong so went back into the recovery and tried mounting it but it gave me the error - "unable to write to ums Lunfile".
I dont know what to do now, the card is 8GB and dont have any other card, everything was working fine prior to this.
Plug the card into your PC and format it
sorry mate, that did not work, I also used another 2GB card, formated but that does not work as well.
Using 2GB and going into CWM recovery, while mounting it still gives the same msg?
I also checked that 8GB card putting into the card reader and using it on Win-7, the card shows fine, it is showing that Fat32 partition, obviously it is not going to show me Linux partitions.
So the point is how am I going to use that 8GB card back into my HTC hero?
should I flash CWM again on the phone? will that work?
But the phone does not recognise any sdcard so I cannot flash as well..??
what to do?
Try to reflash jordfaz's CWM

this thread to be honest has got only 1 person replying and was quite annoyed as he couldnt do it and was gonna throw his phone then so I am worried.
Is there anyway I could either flash RA-Hero-1.7 recovery image through command windows, if that could solve this problem?
and how to if possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723409 here, copy the .zip to a SDcard via your PC and flash it with your existing recovery

My friend you didnt get it.
My sdcard itself is not recognised by the recovery, so obviously even if I put it on the sdcard, the card itself is not recognised so I cannot use it.
Thats why I asked if it would be possible to put xxxxxx.IMG file through FASTBOOT and if anyone can advise if that would work?
Else as I already have CWM 5.xx can I replace it with recovery-RA-hero-1.7xx.IMG file? will that solve the problem?
Try it, i taught you cant mount your SD card, are you S-OFF, if you are get Amon RA .img, reboot to fastboot, do fastboot flash recovery AmonRa.img

No I am S-ON
will that be a problem?
suddenly now adb has stopped working.
what a day begins man
could you please give me the step by step commands to flash amonra.img please..
Can you boot into your ROM ? Does your ROM "see" your SD card. If both of these questions answer yes then do this. Mount your SDCard in your ROM and copy amonra.img to it. Then do
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img or flash_image recovery /mnt/sdcard/amonra.img
exit
adb reboot recovery
Hopefully it should go ok, if you get some errors copy output here and i'll help
I can boot into ROM but it cannot see the sdcard?
Now no matter what I do the "adb" doesnt see the devices as well -
I treid
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
and it says no devices found
I tried going in fastboot mode and then also adb does not see my device.
it has gone to a stage - helpless
Is USB debugging on ??? Are you on linux or windows ?

windows 7 and debugging is on
:S This is weird... It sure would help if you were S-OFF but now since no SDCard or ADB this is gonna be a tough fix. Only think i see posible is to get ROM Manager from market and flash CWM recovery from there, i think that ROM Manager will flash version 2.x.x.x
i checked that, there is no market on the phone now as everything was app2sd, market is gone as well
I have Ubuntu on one machine, it was there just for some trial and learning purpose
would anything help with that
Are you sure your USB cable is OK ? No device found is almost 100% bad cable connection, do you have a spare USB
My cable is ok, i have a spare one as well, tried that , same thing, adb doesnt find anything.
I also installed android sdk20 on another pc (64bit) and that doesnt recognise phone in recovery as well..
even while connected, it doesnt even show new drivers installing or nothing..
so i accidentally wipe my sd card from twrp, and my N4 is not showing up on my computer, download the google usb driver and tried to mount sd within recovery, but my computer doesnt want to install the driver, tried 2 computers. so cant load rom to sd and reflash. tried adb push and adb sideload, but says "error devices not found". any other ideas? thanks
You were in recovery when you ran adb push right?
Also try installing Koush's usb driver.

I did the same once. Tried alot of things but as I recall it it was of the toolkits that did it for me. So you should give them a try.
system, data, cache partition is unable to mount. Also erased twrp recovery while trying to fix it by reinstalling recovery. No OS but fastboot is working. Not able to install recovery from fastboot but was able to temporarily boot into twrp by using "fastboot boot twrp.img". From there i was able to see the internal storage files. I tried repairing system partition from the twrp repair option. But didn't worked.
I also tried flashing using sp flash tool but phone is not detected by the tool.
Plz help!!!
anyone any suggestion to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Adb always gets out of memory or fails for some other reason. Use an SD card, that's the only reliable way. If you can't then try to flash TWRP and use a flashable package

No EDL? What happened?
Just doing 'adb reboot edl' from the stock recovery should take you to edl...
Don't you have an SD card at hand?

Yes, no EDL. ADB is not working on stock recovery.
No SD Card.

Put the zip you want to sideload on the folder where ADB is located. let's say that folder is C:/adb to make it simpler.
Open CMD with admin privileges
issue "cd.." as many times as you need to until you get to 'C:/' Usually it's 2 times.
"cd adb"
"adb sideload" then write the first 2 or 3 letters of the zip, and hit Tab. If the name appears then the zip is in the right place
If adb crashes, google for this error. There is a program somewhere that claims to allow adb to use more than the maximum RAM it has by default (i think it's 1 gb).
Or get an SD card lol

I tried what you mentioned before but did not worked. I'm not sure stock recovery supports external sd card to install update zips. It supports just internal as i know

Lol you simply can't access the internal storage on the stock recovery. It's external SD only. Don't question this, you have no idea how many times I had to get an SD just to get out of a no-system situation
Plus, why do you say you have no EDL? what happens when you turn the phone off and hold vol up and down, and insert the USB cable (connected to the PC on the other end)?
You could use DrakenFX b32 package if you can flash TWRP - no?

DFU with stock recovery working? That's really weird.
If somehow you can get adb to work you can use 'adb reboot edl' and you'll get into EDL mode even if you have a DFU brick.
The only way that I could get adb to actually load a zip file was by putting it in the same folder as adb.exe. For example if you used the 15 secs adb installer just put the zip on C:/adb, then use 'cd..' twice and 'cd adb' to get to the adb folder and run sideload from there
The problem is that adb will probably run out of memory
I'm trying to apply the stock firmware B32 but the API keeps saying "Sorry, you can't sdcard upgrade" Whats the point of the instructions on their website if you can't do it? Going to try and do and adb sideload. Hope it works.

If "C:\adb" is the destination you can simply put "cd \adb" no matter what folder the command prompt starts in.

If you read the instructions on the same site you got the update.zip you'd see it explicitly states an SD card multiple times, not internal storage.

It's also worth mentioning there is/was an issue with how the SD card is formatted. The SD card will need to formatted FAT32 to be read. The stock recovery won't read exFAT. At least I seem to remember that being an issue the last time I had to flash a ROM package that way.
