It seems you have to flash a stock rom again.

The black screen with lit up touch buttons is just the vibrants way of bootlooping. The problem with using clockwork to partition the SD card is /sdcard is the internal memory. /sdcard/sd is the card itself. Clockwork is actually formatting the internal memory. Might want remove the external sd and partition it back to 1 fat32 drive and see if that will help.

partitioning it back to fat32 didn't work. still just lit bottons and black screen after it has booted up. I think i erased eveything when i partitioned the sd card. i wonder has anyone else ran into this.
Just download jac's nandroid and put on sd card assuming you can still get into recovery..

I can get into recovery but the recovery doesn't access anything besides the internal memory. I can't access the internal memory if if i can't use usb... it doesn't access SD card so placing a file on the card wouldn't help me.
Clockwork does not even access the external sd. You partitioned your internal. You might be able to repartition it from adb if you connect after loading clockwork recovery.

nah.. i did chose clock work recovery,partition sd card 564 swap and 30mb i think... i am not sure.. but it did that... i tried to be reboot, it goes by the tmobile logo, then makes the tmobile noise as its on the samsung S part and then it goes to a black screen and lit up soft keys....
im guess stuck. i guess i can confirm this as bricked. ugh
i dont even know how to use adb.. it's difficult
Go into recovery and then use adb to connect and repartition.

it's ok... im frustrated and been doing this for about 3 hours trying to fix the phone. thanks again
Not that this is a real fix, but try going to T-mo and telling them you have no idea what happened and that it just won't turn on. With any luck you'll get a nice sales rep and they'll give you a new phone.

because:
the only access i have is booting into recovery. I can't access the sd card to update it.. there is nothing on the phone. how does partitioning your sd card wipe both the phone and the sd? i backed up the rom via clockwork/rom manager so maybe it was all stored on the sd card and when i went to wipe, it wiped everything.

If you have the USB drivers installed, You can use ADB to push files to the sdcard, although it won't be incredibly fast to push an entire nandroid backup over (you may need to mount /sdcard/ and push.

First you need to install ADB. You can find the instructions in the top sticky post on the forum. Once it's installed, download http://www.mediafire.com/?kqaulorzx5f6dyq and unzip it into a folder in your adb folder. (ex: c:\androidtools\tools\) Keep track of the file names in the zip file. Open a command prompt in your adb directory and type "adb devices" to make sure your device is connected. I'm on my phone so I don't have my adb cheat sheet but I think you will type "adb mount /sdcard". Then you will want to push each file to the sdcard. You may be able to do the folder at once but I don't remember. That will be something link "adb push whateverfilename".
These are obviously not the best or most detailed instructions but I'm on my phone... You can read the adb tutorial to find what you are supposed to type exactly. You should be able to figure it out from here.

[Q] Android on HD2

Hello,
I downloaded imilka_HD_RAM_v1.zip.
I parted my SD card (8gb) in Partities,
FAT32 6.5 GB
EXT/3 1 GB
Copied the zip file to the SD card,
Flashed it with USB flasher and run DAF.exe
AD recovery -> instal zip from sd -> choose zip -> STrockdram1.zip (the zip on the SD card)
This part is going ok.
Then reboot system now,
And then it starts up, white screen, but it keeps showing the white screen, then black, then white, then black..
What's my fault???
Thank you very much for help!

This method i found on xda
Simply download the AndroidWindowsBoot.zip file from the link given at the end of this guide and extract the included AndroidWindowsBoot.cab file to your computer. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and transfer the CAB file anywhere on your device.
To install Android Windows Boot, your phone must be booted into Windows Mobile. On your phone, run ‘File Explorer’ from the start menu and navigate to the location where you saved the cab file. Simply tap on it to install, and you are done. Now when you reboot your device, it will ask you at startup whether you want to boot into Android or Windows Mobile.
By default, the application will boot into Android after 5 seconds if the user does not make a choice within that time. Those who find this delay inconvenient can change it by editing the “\Program Files\Android Windows Boot\Delay.txt” file.
In case you do not have Android installed on your device, the option to boot into Android will be disabled, so you can even choose to install Android after installing this application.
Android Windows Boot has been tested to work on HTC HD2 but may work on other phones running Windows Mobile as well. It will NOT work on Windows Phone 7.
Download AndroidWindowsBoot.zip
Thanks for you reaction.
But which version of Android is this?
And i already had the Desire version on my phone, but I'd love to have the Desire HD version.
So my phone isn't running on Windows Mobile anymore, it's only running on the MAGLDR menu right now.
All the steps i needed to do, i did. But it's still not working.
Is it possible that my phone isn't able to get that rom on it?
it could be a ruind file... try to download it again or try another ROM

Btw, i have the Desire rom on my phone now, so i can't boot from Windows Mobile.
I'm trying to install the new Imilka ROM, v2.0.
This are the steps i took:
AD Recovery -> mount and storage -> format sdcard, formad sdcard-ex etc.)
USB flasher -> USB... USB -> I runned the DAF.exe (recovery 130mb) as admin, else i got 2 errors (bootloader missed and USB).
Then i copied the v2.0 zip file to the phone with USBmass Storage
AD recovery, install zip from sd -> choose -> and i installed that zip.
Reboot now.
And i got the white HTC screen, then the black with green HTC logo, and now again the white HTC screen, and that white screen is reloading itself (black, white, black white etc.)
What i'm doing whrong?
I really hope anyone can help me.
Hi,
Have you gone into CWM >AD recovery> and wiped data,dalvik and cache partition?
The idea of wiping data ,cache partition and dalvik is to clear out all the old bits of data etc. from previous ROMS and therefore starting again with a clean slate.
Do these things then run DAF and try installing your new ROM...

From WM to HSPL4 to Radio to MAGLDR -> Ad recovery, it says: no bout sources.
Edit: Got now the normal Desire rom on it, and ill try it now from the MAGLDR menu.
Edit2: Did all, and still stucked on the white HTC screen what is reloading itself.
First im going to format and whipe everything.
And also doesn't work.
I still stuck on the white HTC screen, what am i doing whrong?!
why do i keep getting the foreclose message?
iiadore
for god sake, wtf you do in the middle of this discussion with your "guess what" question????
murris16
hold on , im going to check imilkas thread.
get back to you.
ok - first of all - you have to go back to that thread and you will find that people are talking about white screen problem.
Using the Magldr Mass Storage function can cause corrupted data, Put it on you sd card using a card reader.
(Sorry if someone already said this, couldn't find this)
It could be a wrong partition size of CWM. How long does it stay on the HTC logo, it can stay there for a while when booting first time.
It stays more then 1 hour, and that's way to much i think.
But the white screen is reloading itself.
Sometimes i stuck on the black screen with the green HTC logo, but that also stays more then 1 hour.
What do you mean with Magldr Mass Storage funcion? You mean i need to copy the .zip file to my sd card (with the card reader in my laptop), and don't use the Mass Storage function in the MAGLDR Menu?
And a wrong partiton size of CWM, when i use the option Create Partities SD Card (256mb and Swap 0mb)
Then the .zip file is removed from the SD card.
So what can i try to do?

Yes, copy the zip file to SD card using a card reader, and not via magldr.

Partition size as in CWM File layout (150/250/350 mb).
What you can try to do is, prior to putting the .zip on your sd card, Totally wiping your sd card (also the remaining SD-Ext partition) This will cause you to lose all your data, so backup before doing this.
After the Format, remake the partitions on the SD card to your liking (Fat32 and Ext for App2SD+) (guides can be found on this forum.)
And then try again.

well. copy the zip AFTER you wipe the cache.

[Q] Moving ROM from SD to another

Hi,
I have question , I installed the a NAND ROM using 4GB SD card but I need more space so I purchased new SD with 8GB space.
How can I transfer the part of ROM installed on the SD from the old one to the newly purchased one without losing any data.
If I were in your shoes, I'd make a full backup of my Current ROM with the old sd in. Then, I'd insert the new card and restore the back up. (of course after making the required partition).

The phone will not hang if you've got the ROM correctly on NAND. Also, try making both partitions primary, and windows on the pc will not be able to read the ext partition.

Why are you removing it while the device is on?
You should do this:
Keep Original SD card in
Boot Phone into CWM and make a back up
After it finishes, Turn off phone, put old sd card in PC, copy recent back up there, remove old and put new sd in pc and copy the back up to it
After making the partition on the new sd, put it (the new card) in your phone and boot up
Go to CWM, and restore your recently made backup
after it's done, reboot phone normally
Also, do not remove the sd-card while the phone is active ..
Because we, eu users, need some system files to be on the card and by removing it the device may become inoperative .

[SOLVED] Bricked U8800

Hi,
I did some wrong wipe using CWM, then I think my phone is clean now.
Now, if I press Power+ VolumeUp + VolumeDown buttons, I'll get to the pink screen.
Trying to connect to the PC thru USB cable, I'll get a Removable disk named "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM", with size of 239MB.
I tried to copy all 5 files downloaded from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370960 to /image/, or /cust/image/, or /cust_backup/image/ and the UPDATE.APP (from step 2, official 2.3.5 package) in /dload/ folder of a blank SDcard, but it still goes to the pink screen.
Any hint for me? I cannot download the official 2.2.1 package
Thanks a lot!
-- Edited --
I re-partitioned my phone before following this guide: http://android.modaco.com/topic/341374-custom-you-data-partitions-size/
My phone is the GSM version, not the CDMA (C8800) one.
I think my /system/ dir is also empty. Does it have anything to do with the upgrade?
Following this post I'm able to have CWM4 and Oxygen back.

I tried with the external sdcard. My card is 4GB, FAT32. Should that be the cause of this issue?
I also tried with the internal sdcard (/HWuserdata/dload/UPDATE.APP) but the result was same.
Is there anycase that my UPDATE.APP is corrupted? Could you please help check it's checksum?
Thanks!
============= UPDATE ===============
I tried with the internal sdcard ONLY (remove the external card), and it's working. Firmware update Step 2/2 - ~35% now.
THANK YOU A LOT!
Friend Averell I had the same problem. I solved it this way:
When the phone was off (black screen) after the "Step 2" update,
I pushed the Vol-Down key (not the Vol-up) and then the power button.
After this I left the power button, but I kept pressing the Vol-down for at least 10-20'', until a screen was shown which told me "Formating User Data, Formating Cache" etc.
After all these the phone booted ok and the stock ROM was activated.
I didn't even needed to apply the "Step 3" of the upgrade.
Try it and I am sure your problem will be solved.

I meant the internal 2Gb memory of the phone. Sounds still weird tho. Unless your sdcard has some exotic file system that the phone can't deal with (mine has fat32 and everything went well), I don't know what it could be. Maybe some wiser person could step up here. And check that you didn't use capital letters for your dload folder...Don't know if that really matters, but it could...
Thank all.
The problem seems to be at my 4GB SD card. I flashed 2.3.5 successfully with the internal card.
I tried another 2GB card, and it also work.
Thanks!
yesterday, i managed to update oxygen 2.3.2 r1 to huawei's official 2.3.5 with my 8GB Kingston card, and everything went well, but today when i tried to shoot video, camera stopped after 6 seconds, and phone said that sd card is removed, and i tried to restart phone, took sd card off from phone and formatted card in PC, but nothing worked, then i put another 2GB card in phone and everything is working again??!? weird.. maybe my kingston's warranty just voided last night.

You could just try re-formatting the 8Gb card and see if it works. I've ended up cleaning up the whole sdcard for a few times (I've usually had a small ext2 partion and wanted to start from the clean table) after which everything has been back to normal again (in windows cmd: diskpart --> list disk --> choose Disk "your sdcard" --> clean all --> create new partion and format the card) ..or you probably could do that in CWM recovery too...I'm just too used to do it this way...just beware if you try this, be SURE you choose the right disk or you'll end up deleting a whole partion from your computer's hard drive.

ok, cleaned whole sd card and re-partitioned it and formatted, but no luck. Still when i try to take picture or video it wont let me to do that. It does still make android and DCIM folders etc. to card... and i can copy files to card with computer. but only with external card reader, not in phone.

Too bad. But it's hard to believe that your SD card has something wrong in it since it works in your computer. Probably another unexplained weird software glitch again. Some people reported that they can access the sdcard but not being able to write on it, maybe this "bug" is in the same category.
Btw, have you tried any other ROM and if the problem still exist there?

Too bad. But it's hard to believe that your SD card has something wrong in it since it works in your computer. Probably another unexplained weird software glitch again. Some people reported that they can access the sdcard but not being able to write on it, maybe this "bug" is in the same category.

ok, i tried card to nokia phone, and it works in there.. also it has been in huawei since beginning, so it has worked with official 2.2, B160 custom rom and with oxygen latest. But now when i changed to new beta 2.3 rom, it worked about a day. Maybe i have to wait one more month until final rom is released. Thanks sbasil for good advices.

[Q] sd card not showing in ICS

Anyone got any ideas why my sd card is not showing up in ICS? keeps saying it's blank but has been working fine in Swiftdroid before the upgrade to ICS. I have a Kingston 16gb card class 4 with plenty space on it. Is the file format different for ICS can anyone advise me please, cheers in advance!
also when i plug the usb cable from phone to pc the phone doesn't show in my computer i looked in device manager and phone is in there but no drivers installed! i've tried installing the LG drivers to no avail! what is wrong!!!

???? it wasn't me that answered your problem! check the thread properley!
nono i ment if u entered that cmd itd mount ur sdcard
Re
Write which os do you use than we can continue....
I experimented this when i has a 190mb partition system, now that my partition system is 200mb i've installed again and it recognized my sd card without 'cmd mounting', can be that 200 or 210mb partition system or more is best for a fully working. Can you try it..
Re Nope
Well maybe, but i don't think that's problem....????maybe something with mountpoint.....
ok i don't know if it's a mount problem i've got here as i'm a noob i don't know where to start with that! let me tell you my problem in more detail....
i'm running win7 ultimate sp1 os on my laptop, i have the gt540 installed with ics beta 4 with wifi fix and app fix too, wifi works after wifi fix is installed by recovery, market works too, now when i plug the usb cable into my phone i get the sounds that it is recognized by my laptop and i get usb mass storage disabled so click on the android and it says now enabled but no sound happens from my laptop to say it's recognized it and in "My Computer" there is no storage appearing that's problem 1! problem 2 is that my sd card (which worked perfectly well in Swiftdroid)
is now saying "Blank SD card" also "SD card is blank or has unsupported file system" when i click on the message it then prompts me to "Format SD card" which i don't want to do! are these two problems linked? if so what is the best way to rectify it? please keep it simple and explain fully as much as you can! thank you in advance!
I've just backed up my sd card to my laptop and formatted it using "SD Formatter" as the inbuilt formatter on ICS doesn't work for me, i also did a native swap using bs828 tutorial using his recommended settings for it in hope that this would work! but i'm still getting no recognition in "My Computer" and it's saying "blank sd card" still!!!! i'm at a loss i know the card is ok because i've gone back to swiftdroid thru a nandroid back up in recovery several times and that works!
