Heey guys,
I Have a MAJOR problem!
1. My phone is stuck in a bootloop
2. I Can't acces recovery (by recovery-windows.bat)
3. I Can't acces clockwork recovery
It al started when i restored factory settings on my phone with Azure 1.01
I did that because i had some internet trouble and my SD was not mounted on boot
So now i'm stuck with a phone wich is stuck in a bootloop and doesn't reed my SD card
ANYONE can help me please????
I really want my phone back
Check the Development section for the thread "easiest way to unroot". I had a similar problem to yours and this resolved it for me. You might need to format your SD card to FAT32 before staring though and seeing as you cant mount your phone you're probably going to need an external card reader for your SD card.

yeah I hate to be a noob but ive been looking everywhere for this info as well. would be nice if it was in the sapphire hacking wiki...
i just rooted and installed cyanogenMod 3.9.11.2 yesterday and SD partition and Apps2Sd is the inly thing I cant figure out.......
use sdparted - see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543985
If your sd card is blank or if youve backed up its contents then you can just power on using home + power and you will see the option there to setup your partitions
Cant find it
Not with cyanogen recovery 1.4 I did it through g parted live cd with my screen flickering like crazy because i failed to notice the resolution icon...but any way I am appd to sd'd up
I used Amon_RA recovery image to partition my SD. Now my question is how do I know it is partitioned and know that my apps are automatically being installed there.
Also I had apps on my phone prior to partitioning and I noticed an option in the recovery to move apps to SD, is that all you need to do to move them?
Thanks guys
Partition
After u format it they will copy over automatically
1.4 Does not seem to have that option...

1.4 Does not seem to have that option, and since this is the first time I have used it, I have nothing to compare it to. I see " [Alt+F] repair ext filesystems", that can't be it, can it?
I had just finished installing Myns New Rom and Flashed the combo radios aswell, I ran Titanium Backup and installed my apps. I opened Rom Manager and said I had to flash Clockwork Mod and it updated to 3.O. I then proceeded to make a back up of the rom and then my phone went straight to boot loader, It would not reboot and would not enter recovery just reboots back into boot loader. I finally removed the sd card and rebooted after 10 mins it went back to my rom. I then tried to open my sd card on pc an nothing shows up, I tried 2 others and nothing, cannot even format. I borrowed my friends evo and went to recovery with sdcard in to format it say error can not mount and nothing. I tried within the phone, with cm6 installed and it said the sd card was blank or wrong something, (I forgot) No luck. I think it might have destroyed my sd card, Im trying to find a software that may allow me to do so any luck.
-not visible in pc
-cannot mount or format on phone or recovery mode.
-16gb Micro Sd card Sandisk class 2, bought when touch pro came out for 110 from bestbuy (got 100 back from Htc Touch return so really only 10)
-Had partitoned earlier to run mikifroyo app2sd, unpartioned by formatting.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

try looking in the forums for the lastet recovery in .zip format.
Copy it to the root of the sd card. (if you think that you have an issue with the SD card, then take a fresh SD that is formatted to Fat32. Make sure it is not NTFS. If you formatted on the Mac, make sure the partition format is MBR and not GUID, if you don't know how to do this, I can explain further. The easiest way would be to make sure that you do it on a windows machine)
Start your phone, and hopefully it will install the recovery automatically.
After you install the recovery, and get your phone booted into android, you can locate a pre-rooted rom of your choice in the forums here or at the "other" place if you prefer.
You can read more about it in this other section of the forum. The information below is from that forum, in case you can't find it or are too lazy to search.

i recently flashed thors 1.7 touch recovery and when i rebooted my sd card wouldnt mount so i tried inserting it into my computer and my computer would not recognize my sd card either does anyone know how i can fix this its a 16gb sd card and I'm not trying to spend another 40$ for another one but I am thinking this one is toast.....any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!
As far as I know, there is no way to recover them. Once they are dead, they are gone. You can find the 16gb ones now for under $20 though.

yea i thought so thanks man
You could try reformatting it. If that doesn't work, it's most likely dead.

if its a cheap card you might be lost.. i buy pny cards they have a lifetime warranty.. I Think the reason they do this is because i have NEVER EVER had a bad one from them. They are a cheaper memory provider that is often over looked for there superior quality.. Of course some other brands are backed just as well..
If your tab phone or computer will not read it . well i do not think anyone can help you.

Try Reformatting it through CWM recovery, then see if it mounts.

I don't know if that will work cause when I have it in my tablet and I go to install flash from zip there is nothing to choose from but I can give it a go but I doubt it will work I'll post back and let you know
Try this formatter with uSD to SD adapter.

I have been able to recover photos from a corrupted SD card using the free version of this tool from Zero Assumption Recovery. Worth a try before you reformat.
My SD card was corrupted recently after my phone rebooted. All my photos and important data were recovered successfully after using TestDisk (developed by Christophe Grenier).
After recovering my files onto my laptop, I reformatted the SD card. I did it because the recovery process undeleted useless files.
Just do a Wiki search for TestDisk.
Note: As I am a newbie I'm not permitted to post the link.

I've never ever had such a bad experience but I really don't think that the card is dead unless you pushed it hard and crack the chip.If you use a windows PC ,once you plug the card (make sure it is properly placed into the micro sd adapter) then nothing happens ,as you say (it could be auto mount turned off ) press the windows key + R and type diskmgmt.msc.
This will open the disk manager of windows OS and you will be able to see all attached devices e,g HDD partitions ,USB thumb drives ,sd card and so on.If it s still not visible try to plug the card reader into another USB port.As a rule windows always informs you once you plug any USB device.If the device is not responding it gives an error
good luck.
Not always true... I had an sd card that just died... Neither Android, linux or windows pc recognised it... Windows recognised the sd card reader was attached but "was empty, attach an sd card"... 16Gb card to be tossed...
If the card is truly unmountable/unreadable and you really need to get data off of it, you could also try the service at recoverfab.com . They start where most free data rescue and formatting software can no longer help.

You may recover data from corrupted SD card with special recovery tool, see this useful guide: corrupted sd card data recovery
hope this helps.
recoverfab.com
Hi,
I tried using all kinds of different zero assumption recovery software and sd card repair software but with no look. I thought I wouldn't be able to retrieve any of the pictures I had on my sd card. That is until I found a company called recoverfab.com, they've been able to restore the majority of the files I thought I'd lost forever. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who desperately needs files recovering from an sd card.
My SD Card had the same problem and this, all of a sudden it was unreadable! I tried every method under the sun including trying to access it through an arduino and using SPI which is the alternative way of communicating with the device. I found a company called RecoverFab who said they could read the data from the memory chip even if the erst of the card was dead! So in a last ditch attempt I sent it over to them and the day after they received it I got an email and they had recovered 100% of everything on the SD card! I have never been so happy as it was all the photos from my girlfriends 21st! Superb communication and service!
Ok lets start from the beginning:
I was trying to upade from 2.2.2 official to 2.3 official and now i'm messed up because after the step : "upgrade sd card" my phone restarted and my usb cabel was still on and phone started charging,after that i tried to turn on my phone.It worked but after 20secs my screens freezes and cant do anything even turn off i need to take battery out,also phone not detects my sim card...
Any idea? My phone is rooted,have installed CWM5.0.2.3,but have no backup only public one...But i can't mount usb storage because i get error like "E:Unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)
ANY IDEAS????
I can get to pinkscreen aswell
If you have an external sd card put the public backup there and try to restore via cwm (if you get boot till there). You can also try the update procedure(the dload folder and stuff) but put them in the external sd card! The phone should boot from there.
Anyway,better wait for more answers since I'm not the best in here.I just know how to flash some custom roms.

sorry for dumb question but microsd = external sd? if yes - then i placed the backup in the card but in cwm only phone memory shows no sdcard...
Edit: external i got that
well it actually is an external microsd card
did you manage to restore via cwm?
P.S. if cwm doesn't see your se card go to advaced->reboot into recovery
should be able to see it now

When i do "reboot into recovery" my phone double restarts and 2nd time it turns on normally not into recovery...
Don't know why this is done,but I think we should be happy that your phone isn't bricked
Maybe someone else here can help you and provide better solutions than mine
Have a read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639761.
Has a link in it to how I solved my issue of constant reboots.
Also , since you can load pink screen, you can connect through usb and change your recovery to 5.0.2.7. That's the one i used. Make sure that you have a cust.img file in the "image" folder. That is where the recovery should be too but am guessing you already know that.
If for some reason you dont have cust.img you can find and download a generic version in these forums. Did not need it so I did not bookmark the post I found it in but I think it was the Kalo's Honor Port thread in the pro development section.
hello everyone!
i have galaxy y and here what went wrong with it
i had a custom ROM, rooted and CWM, one day i decided to change the ROM for the seek of changing just
however the new ROM for some reason didnt boot and i was in a rush and couldn't search or anything else so i just went back to stock
now im trying to root the device (which is the first thingy to do before the CWM) but now the recovery always gives me this error saying "cant mount sd card" when selecting "choose update from sd card" from the recovery and now im stuck with nothing able to do at all, cant root the device to have custom ROMs etc
update the stock ROM is of no good as i already updated the device and kies says that no update is found
any help would be highly appreciated
thanks a lot in advance
you can try flashing any of the firmwares from my firmware thread via odin (its at the top of the 5360 dev section)
have you tried another sd card?
is the sd card mountable when the phone is switched on? ie can you browse files on it
if all else failes and flashing a new stock rom firmware from my thread doesnt help you can always try formatting the sd card from your phone
