Ok, I have CWM and I can access it. I cannot read from my External SD Card to install a rom. I can access my Internal SD but I do not have a rom in there.
I cannot boot into the previous ROM since I erased everything and when restarting I get boot loops. I need the tablet to get back to work tomorrow.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
I have a ROM downloaded in my PC but when I connect the A500 to the PC (via USB) I cannot mount it to copy it there and flash.
HELP please!!!
What version of CWM do you have. I think the new one can install ROM from USB drive. Also try reformatting the SD card in a PC in FAT32, some time its just that and some time tablet is picky what SD card it can read and what it cant.

I was able to put the SD Card from my phone and flashed the new rom. The tablet is sill not recognizing the SD Card though. I put it on my PC and it wont detect it (cant format it that way). I put it on my printer and I am able to read from it but I cannot format it. It tells me that is right protected.
I need to find another way of formatting it.
Thanks for your help.
I suggest you get a new sd card. Clearly the one you're trying to use is not working.
I'm not even sure if you can "write protect" an SD. Maybe something on the micro SD adapter perhaps (switch)? Or an option in Windows Explorer (check the sd's "properties". If it says "write protected", then turn it off.

Hey. I have owned my Wildfire for a week now so I am still a noob. I wanted to know if it's possible to install a custom ROM on the wildfire without an SD card so basically do it through USB. I have seen some phones can do it with Amon RA recovery but I don't think it is possible for the Wildfire.
Thanks.
Dont think it is although why would you want to do it without? The wf comes with a sd card

Because when i put my SD card in the adapter and put it into my laptop it cant open the card and asks "do you want to format" and when i choose yes it says "unable to complete format" so im screwed with that SD card
Use paragon partition n look on YouTube 4 a video that will sort it out n will fix that error

Still dont work its not even showing up on my computer now ive probably ****ed it somehow but on my phone it says 1.83gb free space. weird.
Dose paragon partitioning show ur sd at all if not erm check to make sure ur SD card reader is ok bu using a different SD card
if paragon partitioning is showing ur sd card.
is ur SD card signed as active and does it have a volume letter as these thing will stop I from formating the SD card

It showed my SD card then when I tried to format it would only show my hard drive and plus the free version does not let you do anything to the card.
Try Panasonic SD Formatter:

E: Probably unrelated, but, make sure your card reader supports SDHC cards.
1.What happens when you connect the phone via USB and choose mount as disk drive?
2.When you use the SD card adapter, and right click on the SD card's drive letter if there's an option to "open as portable device" try that also try updating your laptops card reader drivers.
3.Use bluetooth to transfer the ROMS?
4. If you're already rooted, try formatting SD card via ROM MAnager.
As far as I know you cannot install custom firmware (a "ROM") without an SD card.
You don't have to use your SD card directly from the computer to install custom firmware. You can use file storage mode on your phone's USB connection or adb to access your SD card through your phone on your computer.
To install CyanogenMod with the help of adb, follow the steps in hxxp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Wildfire:_Full_Update_Guide and put the update.zip into the root of your SD card with this command:
Code:
adb push update-cm-6.1.0-buzz-signed.zip /sdcard/
You need to have your phone connected to your computer, have the appropriate drivers installed to do this and have USB debugging enabled on your phone. Documentation on adb is available at hxxp://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
An alternative way to the above adb method is to enable USB phone storage mode when you connect your phone to your computer and transfer the update.zip file to your SD card.
Hi guys thanks for all your help I have fixed my problem. All I did was use a windows 7 laptop and it worked.
Hi Guys,
Ik played with my Htc HD2, and wanted to install android on it (not the first time, installed more than 10 roms before)
But this time it went bad.
I dont know what i did but my pc doesnt recognize my htc hd2, so i cant acces my sd storage, so that means i cant put an rom on my sd card so that i cant install a rom.
i can still acces the magdlr menu and also the clockworkmod menu. but when i go to the mounts and storage menu in clockworkdmod and want to mount usb storage it gives me this error
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
What can i do. pleaseeeee i have been searching for a solutions for 2 full days.
If you're just looking to get the rom.zip onto your sd card, and don't need to flash a new recovery or anything, you could just install dropbox on your phone and on your computer. Download the rom on your computer, and the put it in your dropbox folder, then download the rom from dropbox on your phone.
I've had to do this to get roms onto my sd card for quite a while, since my usb port on my phone is broken, it works fine, just takes a little longer than transferring via usb.

yeah but i cant get the rom on my sd card because i have no rom, i only have magldr and clockworkmod recovery on my phone, and when i choose mass storage in the magldr menu. my pc doesnt recognize the phone.
what is problem here you thing, my hd2, the micro sd card or the windows 7?
Not knowing anything about it, I would have to say it could be any one of the three things you mentioned is wrong. Or it could be your USB cable.
Maybe you could try another cable, try plugging into a different USB pot on your computer, or better yet, try a different computer if available.
Isn't there also a way in CWM to connect your comp to your SD card? I've always hears that transfering files to your card via USB in MAGLDR was unreliable and could corrupt files anyway. Maybe you could put your card in a friend's phone and plug that phone into your computer and transfer the file.
Iirc thats linked to the sd card, so it may be faulty or just need reformatting
I have had to follow this proccess a few times when I've had issues with my sd and I have the 4th new csrd in the phone after about 20 months
First I would check out the sd card, and delete all partitions on it - format as primary partition and fat 32 use EASEUS free version
Then task 29 the phone
Then I would reinsert the sd card and then follow the instructions running magldr and cwm before flashing your rom again
the thread for the rom should provide help if not try the CoreDroid rom V1.7 the thead is very active with lots of online support

Perhaps try putting into a USB card reader or SD card adapter, then try seeing if the computer recognizes it.

Yeah get yourself a SD card adaptor to put your SD card in and then put it in the SD card slot on your computer, or if you do not have one get a USB SD card reader to put the adaptor in. They will run you something like 8 to 10th dollars USD for both to get them.
Also your card is like this bot because you erased the MBR on your SD card. It is because on the first boot of WP7 it formats your memory card with a RAID format so it can use your SD card as internal memory. You have to do a low level format of the card to remove it. Once the low level format is done you will have to do a full format of it again with Fat32
This is for others that well read this, if you flash a WP7 ROM and it boots up but you so not like it or it does not work right. Do not, I repeat do not try flashing the ROM again or try flashing another WP7 ROM before doin the low level format and then a Fat32 format on your SD card. If you do you will probably end up with a trashed SD card.
Thanks i will try that..
No, i cant do nothing... i try with a external sdcard reader over usb and the sdformater just stops working when i start or do a refresh. i try with others sd cards and the new sdcard reader works good...
Any more ideas?
The other night I got a NC with 3.1 and decided to root it and flash cm7 onto it. This all was going fine until after the rom flashed and I booted up the device I have micro SDCard 2GB in the NC and it isn't able to read the SD card it says I need to put one in. Every time I go to download something off the browser it says I need an SD card to download this so and so file. I used my phone SD card in the NC to see if that will work and same problem persists. I have .apk files on my SD card I would like to run on the NC but can't get them off the SD card. This NC belongs to my brother who I was trying to help out by rooting and putting cm7 on it for him but now there's really nothing he can do with it any and all help is welcome. If someone knows how to fix this please tell me. (When I plug it into the computer it still can't read the files on the NC. Even if I mount SD card or USB storage through recovery) please help

Try plugging in the SD card by itself to your PC to see if it got corrupted, and if it hasn't you can transfer your files, format it and give it another go. I hope that helps.
Yep. Sounds like a card corruption problem. I had one. Reformat was the only solution. Be prepared to sacrifice your apks. And always drop spare copies onto your computer, just in case.
Hello. Plz help.my note not recognize my sd card suddenly when i power off the phone then opened again. In addition the computer also suddenly nt recognize phone but the odin recognise when put it in USB debugging mode.also when open gallary it says SD card is in USB storage mode......thanks alot
does the sd card work in a different phone?
same here, my sd card works on other phone
Yes it works....also when opening camera it says turn off usb mass storage
But in recovery mood.it can read the sd when click on install zip from sd card
In recovery mode the inbuild memory is called sdcard, some not-stock recovery can separate between the two memories.
That said, your mentioning maybe wrong.
Is the card mSDXC, or regular mSDHC?
If there's nothing important on your card, try to format it inside the Note.
If there's important stuff on it, copy it to your pc (using a USB-SDHC-Cardreader) and format it inside the Note after that.
Sometimes the connection between the sdcard and the phone gets disturbed, so manual ejection of the sdcard out of the Note, cleaning the sdcard-contacts and putting it in again (repeat for 2 to 4 times) may help, too.
Regards

first: thank u, still the same issue even with other sd cards. i tried to install new rom by odin,it started progress but at the end of the progress it stopped at the word(hidden) in the box.
I have a 32Gb card installed in my phone and the Format card bit is greyed out. Any reason for this? Thanks in advance!
