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.
Ok when I Insert My SD card it just boots to loading and reboots over and over again. Any ideas?

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.

Find a stock 3.1 ROM ( so you can root) here, and flash it using power/volume.

When I say there are no files I literally mean that there in nothing on the internal drive. lol
When I click "install zip from sdcard" it tells me there are no files found. nothing in the "/" (root dir) :'(
I'm assuming there needs to be at least a folder like "/mnt/external_sd" for the Recovery Mod to access the external sd card?!
The above link requires me to access the official acer recov, don't know how to do that seeing as CWM is there.
I don't understand why they would put options in the Clockwork Recovery that could format the internal drive completely...there's no "/mnt" or "/system" or anything...
Kinda sh**ting myself as my tab is now less than a doorstop
PS. it also says "can't mount /sdcard"
HAHA.....ok, jokes on me....I just noticed that the reason for the device not picking any files up from the "sdcard" was because the damn thing formatted my EXTERNAL CARD.
So, kids...what have we learned today, beside that I'm (in the great words of Red Foreman) a dumb-ass, it's that CWM read from your EXTERNAL sdcard and NOT, i repeat, NOT your internal.
Sorry, and thanks anyway
Ummm yeah, I assumed you had no files, even before you apparently knew it. That's why I provided the link for you to d/l the stock ROM of your choice via PC, copy the files to SD card and flash using stock recovery

We all do stuff like that from time to time as we are only human. I seen people not unmount the sd card and it make the card unreadable and you can't get the files off of it then. You have that grayed out sd card, when you try to use it.
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.

But, still not able to install stock 2.3.5. Any hint on this? Thanks!

Did you copy the dload folder and its content to an internal or external sdcard? Sounds a bit like your phone doesn't find the update files.

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. It's so typical to me.

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?

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.
Today, many hours ago, i wanted to install the
[ROM][22/1/12][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.35 Kernel]
I came from the
[ROM][15/01/2012][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.32 Kernel]
So first changed my CWM into version ClockworkMod [v5.5.0.4]
I first pasted the new rom on my U8800 (previous versions i also had the network problems so needed latest version) SD card, then did the new CWM install and after this i lost all sound and mic...
I tryed to install the new ROM but still the network problem...
So i did my back-up but again no sound/mic/vibrate working...
After this i wanted to put an older rom or maybe CWM back on my SD card but now the SD can't be written on...
What can i do now...
Someone plz help me... Now my phone doesn't have network or any sound, vibrate also isn't working...
Best regards VdBRoald
Try to update from internal sd?
Also, the newer MIUI requires you to install official 2.3.5 before you install it. The newer has different kernel .35 that is required for all functions to work. (Batterystat , network, wlan, etc.)

thx for reply,
The inside memory is to small for installing a ROM and atm i only have the Build-in SD card, the one that is now write protected for a reason...
Because i came from another rom i think it isn't needed for first upgrading my standard version into 2.3.5...?
Best regards
Trust me, it is needed. .35 roms don't work unless you have first installed official 2.3.5.
Buy sdcard and try to install from there.
Try to mound/unmoung sd in cwm and try to install then.

Try first to mount sd card on pc and check it for errors with windows check disk app. I don' t think that the card is damaged. Then you need to put dload folder from 2.3.5 official rom package(instructions are on package' s pdf file) and flash it from bootloader by pressing vol+,vol-,power when device is off.
The SD card isn't damaged , just is write protected now...
Tryed to mount/unmount in CWM but gives an error (because of problem mensioned i think...)
I can buy a new one but i hope it doesn't reaches that point... :x
Put the card in a card reader and mount it on pc. I don' t think that you have problems then.
It is a build-in SD card so i can't reach it... :'(
edit:Just wanted to dl the official 2.3.5 release from Huawei.
But all sites seems to have deleted the file...
Do you have 5.5.0.4 recovery? I had same problem with that.
Try to change your recovery to Genokolars 5.0.2.7 or the official 5.0.2.6 one.
Firstly, you should've updated your base ROM to B522, then flash MIUI. The problem for your case is that the new kernel does not work with the old base.
Here's what you should do:
Flash B522.
Flash CWM.
Flash MIUI.
How can i do this without an sd card that can be written ons?
I Will do this after i found the solution for the SD card problem, then i can copy new files on it...
PS: factory reset also doesn't work because off problems
You change the recovery in PINK SCREEN not in internal sd card.
Change the recovery, then youll be able to access sd, at least I did.

Use another phone or, even a camera. Insert the micro SD to that, connect to USB, make folder dload on the card, copy the update.app into there and do the steps I wrote before.
All already thx for the comments, i just got a new sd card, for the low cost of 8euro i don't bother for more trouble handling with that. So now i'am trying to do everything with my new card.
It was a hard start because it wasn't working well in beginning, i put the files off the first step true pc (in SD holder) and is now installing the new firmware... let's hope that all the rest will go a bit easyer
Thx a lot to all the replyers and specially to Blefish!
Everything is working perfect now!
The only thing i now have to do is search for some nice ring and message tones

Thank you.
What filesystem is your sdcard formatted to? FAT32 works best for daily use.
Yes, it is on FAT32, but the phone wont mount it on the clockwork mode.
Worst, it wont connect no the computer, and i have no ROM on it...

What recovery are you using? I use CWM touch 6.0.1.2.
Have you tried sending over a rom with adb? If you have adb working, you open up cdm and navigate to where you have the adb files and write: adb push path-to-rom /data/media/

I had the same problem. I have the solution now.
The problem is cwm 6.0.1.2 - it does not recognise the external sd card and you are unable to backup to it as a result.
I have just reflashed cmw 5.8.4.0 through cf root 6.1 and everything is fine.
I now have a full backup (1.8GB) on my external SD card - which I checked by resetting and restoring.
The problem is not the phone, rom or card - it is CWM and you need to flash an earlier one that works via Odin. Hope this helps
The big problem is that the internal SD card wont mount on the computer, so, how can i put a stock rom in there?
I'm completely lost...
I have odin on the computer, how can i donwload the CWM 5 trough it?
Or the custom rom?
so you have 2 problems? phone doesn't detect external card and pc doesn't detect phone? please clarify
Yes, i have said that on the first post.
I have now the CWM 5.5.0.4, and it wont mount any sdcard, and the PC still wont recognize it...
does Odin recognize your phone in download mode?
Yes.
Having only the internal SD card, it says error mounting SD card...

the 2 problems are unrelated. Your PCs failure to recognise your phone is to do with drivers - you can try reinstalling Kies.
I suggest you sort that out first so that you can flash your phone via Odin.
well if Odin recognizes it, why don't you just flash a stock Rom?
The PC stooped recognizing the phone after i made the wipe.
Since it wiped the stock ROM, i have no phone, it wont mount the external SD, and it gives error mouting the internal SD.
How can i solve this?
I'll let you sort him out slaphead...I'll butt out cos I think we are getting mixed messages regarding the problem here, best of British....
There are no mixed messages, i have 2 problems.
I have already ignored the fact the the recovery wont mount the external SD card.
I want your help so i can at least transfer the custom ROM to the internal SD.

it seems he has possibly super wipes before installing and didn't put a zip to install on his ext sd card? Is that your line of thinking, because he isn't being very clear, but feel free to butt in, I'm not entirely sure where his problem starts at this very moment!
It was exactly that, i have used the Super Wipe from the internal SD.
I know i should have used the external, but it wouldn't work...
You know how to solve this?

Yes! If Odin recognizes your phone in download mode then flash a stock Rom, re root with cf root, boot up and set up, copy zip to sd card, and flash it, you will be on a clean install any way, so no need to use that POS superwipe, so just follow the Rom installation instructions, and you will have the benefit of knowing you are running a nice clean install, then you can just reinstall all your stuff with titanium or whatever :thumbup:
---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------
add to that, before installing the Rom, format your external sd on the phone, and make sure it mounts and unmounts in settings, but anyway, doing it the way I mentioned you can flash from internal sd
