[Q] Phone flashing itself. - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I thought i will have no problems now and nothing will suprise me with my HTC, but of course i was wrong =)
As i solved my last problem with Google Play, now once my phone weirdly rebooted by itself, and when i loaded android it looked like it flashed itself cause i had Menu as i flash rom to set language and stuff.
I was like "wut.." but ok, i set my phone again, and then it started to download all apps i had before, but every dll ended up with an instant error
"There is insufficient space on the device."
I also looked at the App settings, selected All and huh, Internal Storage status bar was all grey with no info how much space is left.
I downloaded ROM (tytung's 4.2.2 ..) again through my phone, and tried to flash it again, but it said i have no EXT space, so i had to wipe my SD card in CWM and create 1gb ext partition.
Then it was all good, i downloaded all my apps without any problem and i was happy, but next day it was same thing, it rebooted with Setting Language Screen and afterall i have no storage. Now downloading tytung's ROM again to flash it...
Seem like an endless fun :crying:
Any solutions?
PS. I am on holidays, and i have no connection with PC, only phone + web.
#EDIT
Oh, when i try to flash ROM i get an error:
Code:
Mounting SD-EXT failed!
Please Create an EXT4 partition
(mmcblk0p2) on the SD Card First
Error Messages:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /NativeSD failed: Invalid Argument"
Making partition will help, but i bet that tomorrow i will have the same situation...

I was going to suggest changing the SD card. Or it could be the same problem with robbie, try to remove the sd card and clean the contacts on the sd, and clean the slot of the phone if possible.

Thanks, i just caught myself that last time i partitioned EXT i set swap to 32mb or sth, and it should be 0 ofc, will see if that will or won't help, then i will try with sd card.
#EDIT, yay, it's stuck on green HTC logo now!
#EDIT2: couldnt stand this, deleted everything, gonna hard reset or wait till i get usb to install new rom ... anyway phone useless for now.

bad sd card?

I tried to update to the 2.33 jachero rom got a bootloop
tried an older version got a bootloop
tried the dudes build got a bootloop
i then used and old sdcard from my sidekick and i got on the dudes build
i tried to use apps2sd on the stock 1gb card which i previously already had and it said i didnt have a partition on it which i did previously so it set it up and rebooted into a bootloop
is this a bad sd card?
any ideas?
Is it trying to move the /data to the sd? If it is, that would be the issue, Least it was for me when I went to 1.51
sorry havent been on here in awhile been on vacation
i tried upgrading to jacshero2.3 at the time and i just got a constant bootloop nothing would happen so i took an old sdcard from my sidekick lx and put back on the dudes build and it worked but i cant reboot the phone from the sd card i tried to install hero on it will bootloop.
also i lost appstosd nothing saves to the sd but if i open partion manager it says i still have ext2.
and if i use appstosd it says i have to partition my sd card and if i try it the phone reboots and bootloops
Yea sounds like you need to redo the sd card.. Id just save the apps and apps-private folder and wipe the rest. Then put the apps and apps-private back on after you wiped the card then relink them.
is it a simple copy and paste
it started up today wit the sd card so ill reformat it
Its not a simple copy and paste.. Usually if you use linux you need to make sure the attributes are saved as well. cp -a

HELP! can't mount SD card (i've already tried all the fixes)

I've been using android on my phone for awhile, and tried a bunch of different builds and never got this error. Yesterday when i was switching back to shubcraft all of the sudden the boot loader gives me
mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument
failed
failed to mount sd card. cannot continue.
/bin/sh: cant't access tty; job control turned off
i tried loading just about ever build and get the same thing.
I've changed the startup.txt and i always reformat before i switch builds. i was thinking it might be the sd card itself, but it works fine in winmo.
if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated, im having android withdrawls...
oh and its the stock 16gb class 2
EDIT: It randomly started working again...strange...
This Is What I Do
I was getting either the same thing or something very close to it on about 2 rom to the best of my understanding is when your trying to flash (for lack of better words) a new rom you still have some left over traces either on your storage card or the phone so what you need to do is format your SD card and reflash your phones rom.
I took the origin file put it on my sd card unzipped it there went into the android rom folder cut the plain android folder paste it withe the other folders then reased every folder EXCEPT the PLAIN ANDROID FOLDER now put the sd card in the phone enable the the sound then install android.
To be able to watch the process after you flash your rom go to settings, system, power (battery) and uncheck everything so it doesn't sleep. when you install now you will see the progress and will be able to read the progress if you see 2 things have failed
This is my process and it hasn't failed yet when I didn't do it this way I had fails.

you can search a tool named SDFORMATER V2.0, it will be worked.
okay this is now happening to me as well!
had been using Android and various different builds without hitch.
but today after trying the Hyperdroid build the sd card fails to mount on startup.
Editing the startup.txt does nothing, have also flash to the latest chuckyrom and formatted the sd card time and time again and tried different builds.
anyone have any other suggestions?
Ta
working again now.
the fix for me was to reupload my backup to the sd, format then upload the required new build.
very odd...

[Q] SD Card formatted as vfat?

I recently flashed Grankin01's kernel and one of the CM7 preview nightlies. Everything seemed to be fine until this morning when I tried to mount my SD Card to flash one of the new nightlies. My Redhat box comes up as
The volume '_PNG ' uses the vfat file system which is not supported by your system.
My Vista box doesn't pick it up at all, even trying to mount the card fails on the phone. HALP? Am I going to have to reformat the card? Is there a way around this without losing all my crap?
Try flashing the stock kernel that comes with cm7. But it sounds like you may have to format the card.
Reflashed with what I have on the card currently, no dice. Super-weak
Gonna try reloading clockworkmod 2.5, dropping back down to a non-gingerbread and see what happens there. If not, guess I'll be formatting away
Couldn't format to save my life. Had to partition the card through recovery to get it to mount
But after trial and error (and error and error and error F'ING MMCBLK1P1) I finally got it to go
Now to rebuild the phone from scratch. Oh well, probably didn't need all that junk I acquired anyway

[Q] Storage Full message

Just flashed [EU/TMOUS][CWR] imilka's HD Sense Series v2.0 1.84[D2EXT][K:rafpigna 1.7 OC] on my hd2 which is an EU one. Had partitioned my 16GB sd card using MiniTool Partition Wizard, making 2 partitions i.e. about 11GB FAT32 and almost 4GB EXT2, both primary. Just copied the zip file of the ROM on my sd card and ran it through AD Recovery (400mb setup one, which is recommended with this ROM). Everything went smooth but after the installation, even if i run the browser i get the message: Storage Full..you dont have enough free space remaining in your phone's storage, whereas in Settings, SD&phone storage my Internal phone storage shows 3.52GB available. I also cannot install any new apps due to this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.
its suggested not to use larger than 2gb ext partition
Had a same problem with my favorite Hyperdroid. After flashing i could not even receive any sms becaus they were rejected because of no space. And i did not have anything weired installed... I solved it by completly formatting again and tnen the whole prodcedure again.. Sorry but that was the only way that helped me;-) But actually i could not solve the prob itselve...
Thanks for your reply. Yes, mine is the same problem, can't even receive emails or browse the internet, the message keeps showing up. I'm ready to repeat the whole process by formmatting my sd card, but I have some simple questions (might sound a little naive as i'm new to flashing android):
1- Do I need to make only 2 partitions? Fat32 and an ext partitions?
2- Do I need to keep any other files on any of these partitions except the ROM before I start flashing through Recovery?
3- Do you also suggest, like Richy99 does, to keep the ext up to 2GB only?
just discovered answers to the above questions. Repeated the whole precess, repartitioned my sd card (this time 2gb ext), and finally got rid of that storage full message. There's a lag though...seems to be slow on my hd2. Moreover, I cant uninstall the apps that came with this. The uninstall button remains grey.

a) Use 1GB ext, NOT 2GB.
b) Lag is beacuse its a DHD rom, you need to wait for all the apps to sync or wait for OS to settle down. Let everything sync and then do a few reboots and wait some hours. Once everything has settled lag should be gone.
c) If you want to remove stuff use "System App Remover" from market.
d) Read your roms instructions properly.

[Q] Unable to write to ums lunfile. Reward of 20$ for solution!

Hi everyone,
I'm sicked of this error "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)" I search all this forum and google. But i can't find a solution!
So I offer a reward of 20$ to the one who gonna help me with that problem. I prefer offer someone this little money for help instead of buying a new phone...
I have an HD2, he was rooted with a MIUI Rom (and a lot of other Android NAND Rom before), everything was fine until one day i woke up and no more SD Card readable. I restarted my device but it changed nothing. I try reflashing the ROM but when it come to the part "install zip from sdacard" with ClockWorkMod i had the "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)" or "E:Can't mount /sdcard"
I tried reflashing a Win6.5 ROM and redo the whole process (MAGLDR 1.1.3 with Recovery 3.2.0.0 or 4.0.0.0) but always the same error.
I tried putting another SD Card => same thing
I tried formating my SD Card with SDFormatter
Someone have a solution? Or want to try helping me getting rid of this error?
thanks
up! Some one please :'(

1. Reflash ClockWorkMod Recovery (The newest version)
2. If that doesn't work, take the SD Card out of your phone and reformat through Windows using FAT32. MAKE SURE YOU "UNCHECK" QUICK FORMAT
3. If I'm not mistaken, that error is a mounting issue with USB, so maybe reinstall all of your drivers for the phone. (i.e. the Google USB driver, the HTC drivers, etc.)
Ok i just reflashed it and nothing changed.
Actually I can acess my SD from USB MASS STORAGE of MAGLDR 1.1.3
So it's a problem with Clockwork Mod Recovery isn't it?
I also have the same problem. I am trying android for the first time and I am stuck.
formatting the sd card worked for me
kinda same happened to me
i accidentally re-partitionned internal sd card
then i tried to format all folders: /data /system /sdcard........
now i can boot into CWM
but i can`t even mount USB ... it shows "E: unable to write to ums lunfile"
when i try to wipe data/system, it shows:
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
when i plug it on the computer, windows can detect 2 disks but i can`t access it with partition magic
i think i`ll have to repartition the internal sdcard and format everything again.. thats it?

I'm sure you got it fixed by now, but if your without a card reader you could , boot into the tri-color screen and reinstall win mobile 6.5 and use it to format your sdcard , then redo magldr or clk and see if you get things to going, just make sure your using a CWR made for HD2
i have the samme problem

And whats about the case, you internal memory gives you this error..? :crying:
Hello, this problem has came to me also, just one day the card is not working, i have 2 cards of 2gb, both of them not working with the ums lum errors cannot mount them in cwm recovery. Both of them are working in the card reader in pc. I have tryed to windows full format them, then panasonoc sd formater, it didnt work. I have clockworkmod recovery 3.0.1.4 version, and i haven found any upgrades on that. E: unable to write to ums lunfile
anyone could give me a solution without wiping rom out ?
Also I'm thinking to upgrade my clockworkmod recovery to some later version, maybe that could help out ? But cant find 2 things - 1) how to do that without using sd card?
2) Will i loose my data on the phone ?
i'm not sure if your roms will load after formating sdcard, probably it depends on the rom you use.
Once upon a time i had some errors with my sdcard and nothing help, neither windows formatting nor some sophisticated utilities like panasonic formatter.
But formatting in nokia phone did fix the sdcard. It was Nokia n97,but I believe any nokia n-series will do, or maybe just any nokia phone. Try it it helped to many people.
and let us now if this method worked
i did found a way to install cwm without sd card, using fastboot. But that didnt solve the problem of phone detecting sd card. I have 2 cards, none of them are working in the phone, but works in the reader. I dont have any data in the card, phone works with android, but it wont recognize sd card. Anyone got fixed that ? I mean, the card was working one month ago, no its not.
Anyone any sugestions without reflashing it ? since a lot of ppl try this, and it didint work for them .
Here what i found is 100% exactly what is happened to me.
