Can someone please help me with A2SD (LucidROM)

So I dunno what to do anymore... I can't get A2SD working... I've managed to repartition my SD card... I'm pretty sure I follow all the directions correctly, I start LucidRom, do that "lucid app" command etc, but it does not install to the SD card... and then it just bricks my phone by getting stuck at the G1 screen when I try to erase the SD card... so I end up with either a useless partitioned card or a bricked phone and then I have to reroot my phone all the way from beginning (RC29)... it was so bad that yesterday I spent 9 hours just trying to get my phone back into *working* condition... I dunno what to do anymore... I tried the apps2sd application from here, I tried lucidrom, nothing seems to work... I have everything done, rooted phone, JF1.5, correct partition, but it doesn't work still... or bricks my phone lol... someone? help please?
P.S. and oh yeah when the phone gets bricked the wipe/reflash doesn't help either... I have to start aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way from RC29 to get my phone to even make calls...

Thank god i thought it was just mine !
I got exactly the same results

you do not have to start all the way with rc29. I had an issues yesterday where my phone just hard locked went to reboot and it locked again (stuck at boot screen) used another sd card put the lucid JF mod 1.5 on there and reflashed it and it worked perfect.

Maybe you should ask in his sticky at the top of the page in this section instead of starting new posts about the same thing?

[Q] T-Mobile G2X - Recovery From Attempting Flash/ROM install via CWM

Hello:
I'm having a frustrating experience attempting my first root of my G2X.
I've had a previous thread from yesterday, attempting to do things from the Mac side:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172487&highlight=velanche
As of now, I've decided to revert to Windows 7 on my Mac to try and rectify things. I'm able to use One-Click Recovery Flasher, following the instructions, to flash the phone. I then downloaded an earlier nightly version of CM7, installed it on my flash drive, and did the install via ClockworkMod.
I had no errors from CWM, from the wipe to the install. I then choose the reboot open, and it powers off my phone.
Upon attempting to turn on my phone, I would get the LG screen, followed by a quick flash, followed by another LG screen with some horizontal blue background behind it. I'm taking it that it means that it's stuck, because I've waited 10 minutes before having to do a battery pull.
I did at one time attempted to flash back to the stock T-Mobile, but when the LG screen came it, it would just remain there without any progress.
At this stage, I don't know where else to go. I'm not sure if there's something amiss, because my phone, as far as I know, as been erased. If there's a way to progress to CM7, I'm game. But one thing I really need to do is to get my phone back.
I didn't backup my phone's contents initially because I was going to recreate everything anyway. Now I'm in a not-so-good place, save having to get a phone exchange.
Any assistance would be appreciated; thanks so much.

Download one of the "Stock Rooted Nandroid Backups" from the development section, stick it on your SD card and do a Nandroid restore from CWM. That should get your phone working again...
On the CM7 installation problem, I have no idea what that could be. I've been flashing ROMs on Android devices since the G1 first came out a few years ago and the only reasons I had bootloops were from me trying to flash without wiping or flashing an unstable build.
Sorry to digress for a second here, but you DO have the T-Mobile branded G2x and NOT the Optimus2x, right?

Working on It
Hey thanks for the help.
I have a T-Mobile G2X, so I should have done everything the way I expected. Then again, things should have worked if I did.
So I installed the Nandroid recovery for my phone, and attempted recovery via CWM, but ended up with a MD5 mismatch error (whatever that means).
I even went so far as move select files from my SD card. I formatted it, then put in those select files i wanted to keep.
I tried again, and no change.
Any suggestions on how I should proceed? Thanks!

I get the same kind of "just not going to happen" errors when I try to install EaglesBlood. I've found no solution, though CM7 works just fine. I don't know what to tell you, really...

The md5 mismatch will happen if you try to copy and past the files. Try it again but this time unzip it directly to the fold where it should be. Do not copy and past the unzipped folder. This is also someones backup so you must go through the restore option in cm

I don't know if this might have anything to do with why I've had problems getting CM7 to work, but I've noticed that when I plug the phone either into Windows or OS X, I've somehow lost the internal drive. I know that it's there because I've found a whole bunch of files on it while in CWN, but I'm suspecting that there's some link between neither computer seeing the internal drive and the issue with getting the phone to boot.
Yes, I can mount the external drive, either from CWM's mount on both platforms or when I press both volumes on my phone and plug in to Windows 7 via USB.
Do you have any insight on this? I was watching a few of The Unlockr vids, and I noticed that even though the guy's phone was rooted and flashed, he still could boot into his phone until he was ready to put on the new ROM (CM7, in this case).
Thanks!

I tried on the OS X side to do this, having to download an RAR app. I found the LG file, and told the app to extract it to the backup directory on my phone. I tried the restore again in CWM, but still a mismatch.
I will try it in Windows 7 tomorrow, and will let you know the outcome.
I'm beat; spent the whole weekend on this phone modding biz. I suspect I'll be really good by the time I finally am able to get things working.

Is this an old SD card? Perhaps some bad sectors on it? Without holding the phone in my hands I can't think of anything else. Other than double check your steps, re-copy the files and try, try again.

The SD card is not old; about 2 months old. I tried formatting the card via Windows 7, but did it in FAT32. I take it that it's supposed to be formatted differently? The card is 16GB, but when I looked into CWM it's limit is 4GB.
I tried the steps again, and still get the same md5 mismatch. Is my guess correct that the card is supposed to be formatted a certain way? Unfortunately, I can access the previous OS via my phone, nor will the internal memory appear when the phone is plugged into the computer. However, I am able to mount the SD card within the computer's OS.
I almost feel like walking away from it for a week, but that means I'll be stuck without phone access for awhile. Tips or suggestions are most welcome.
BTW, there's apparently alternate instructions to deal with the md5 mismatch error. Though in Windows the NDIVIA driver is loaded for the phone, I tried the adb shell command but my device isn't detected by the software.
Thanks again,
V.

[Q] Can´t boot or access sdcard/usb storage!

Okey fellow members of XDA, time to work your magic!
Been rooted and running CM ever since I gor my Nexus S, which was on the day of release. Everything has been working smoothly, until recently.
When I try to boot up my phone, I get stuck on the GOOGLE logo, and when I go into CW, it tells me that E:Can´t mount /sdcard/.
Been browsing the web and XDA, found some people with the same problem but no answers.
Help would be veeeeeery appreciated!

I had a similar Problem with a Nexus S i9020T.
But in my case i couldn't really write on the sdcard for good. I just shove some zip files onto the sdcard and the second i unmounted, everything was back to the way it was. Even formating the sdcard didn't really delete anything.
and when i did get some zip files onto the card, CWM told me they were bad..
I got the phone running again by flashing with fastboot but that didn't really make the problem go away. Dozens of FC's because the phone couldn't really access the sdcard..
So all i can suggest for you is to try to flash with fastboot

Try mounting /data/. If that didn't work, your NAND might be shot.

[Q] My Samsung galaxy Exhibit will not allow me to go back to Stock Rom

Is not recognizing my external Sd. I am running CM9. Everything was working fine for a week. All of suddenly no SD card recognition .
Is there a step or steps for me to correct this problems. I want to go back to the Stock Exhibit rom, but has been unable to do so. I am at a lost, I have no idea what to do. In other word my phone and I am screwed. There a bevy of problems I have created and do not know how to correct them. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Thank You in advance.

This is part of the risk you assume when you play around with roms. If you are not willing to assume that risk, then don't play around with things.
If your card is not being detected, make a backup of your card to your computer and format the sd card. Then copy the contents back once the card is recognised. If that is not working, then buy a new sd card and try with that one. It's quite unlikely that you phone has a broken sd card reader.

Not Recognizing my Sd Card
I assumed the risk, and I am not blaming anyone. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

I asked for advice about why my phone was not recognizing my SD card. I appreciate your suggestion. I accept all responsibility for what happened to my phone as I was playing around with things. It is not the end of the world, if I cannot get it back to recognizing the SD card or when it is connected to the USB. I will and can continue to use it as it is running CM9. Just wanted to return it to stock; so that I could play around with it again and flash a new custom rom to it. I am not deterred because of this one hiccup.
I thank you for that I have formatted the SD, tried another one and still no regonition. It can be the worst case scenario my sd card reader could be shot but I did learned how to flash and root, install a custom rom...no regrets there. Thak You for your help.

Hopefully you had made a nandroid backup of the stock rom after you had (again hopefully) installed recovery.
If that is the case then you can boot into recovery and restore the stock rom nandroid backup. If you do not have that, then things will get more complicated. You'll have to find a stock nandroid backup for that specific phone+carrier from somewhere and load it back while in recovery. If you don't have recovery, you'll have to push that on first while your phone is connected to the computer via usb.

I got it back by flashing stock via ODIN
I am back with the stock rom. Much thanks to all the people at XDA for posting questions and answers for the same problems I was having. I just kept reading question and answers forum pertaining to the Exhibit and I finally found the answers; of course nothing was easy after the ODIN download, the phone was in a rebooting loop. Someone had the same problem and I found the answer. I tried the solution and the phone booted up perfectly. I will give myself a week and then I will root it again and install one of the custom roms for The Exhibit 2. But now I am too tired and so glad to have my phone back as it was when I got it via Tmobile.
Thank you and everyone for your help and explaining it in terms whereas a person like myself came solve his/her problems.

Stuck in CWM

Good afternoon fellas.
Have a customers phone here who decided to install an update for his rooted system by SD Card and has essentially "bricked" his device from what it looks like, or soft brick. It will load every time to CWM Recovery but I cannot mount the SD card through commands which will not allow me to run a new rom or flash the backup that was made. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced valued community.

Have you tried to mount system in mounts and storage in cwm ? If so have you also tried flashing backup? If its not mounting I'm not sure if it will work but scripts usually these days via roms and such will auto mount. But try this.

I have tried it and it says error cant mount sd card. the computer sees the phone and registers it has storage but it says storage corrupted and I can't seem to get the sd card to mount no matter what

Can you be a little more clear about the issue??
SD card not detectable?? Which recovery the phone has??

It was already said in the OP

Not trying to be rude by any means, the phone just loops through CWM even after factory reset, after loading the recovery made and an unmountable sd card through CWM commands

have you tried other sd card to check if it mounts or not?

rediculously enough......no
Just tried and same error

maybe the CWM recovery is broken, try with kdz to flash a stock rom and start all over, if kdz recognize the phone

where would I find KDZ, my google search turned up nothing that looked usable

root with superoneclick 2.3.3 only with exploit on auto, maybe it will not work the first time, for me worked 3rd time if I remember, dunno maybe it was superoneclick maybe Iam noob

unfortunately none of these seem to look or read like theyll work for me, phone is already rooted with custom recovery and I do not want to further damage a customers device

or maybe you need to just reflash recovery

That would mean just adding it to sd and flashing such as roms and gapps do...correct?

try to search other recoverys, follow the tutorial or ask the dev how to, in your case, older rom manager allowed to install amonra or older cwm but now it doesn't, so search forum for a different recovery and ask how to install it, or maybe it is the phone to blame...... do a visual check for the sd port of the phone to see if all is ok, bytheway you didn't mention if the phone boot or not
some blame cwm and rom manager becauze they do not like it or does not know hot to use it or maybe they are just bored, I use cwm for over a year I had flashed over 50 roms through cwm on a single phone and nothing bad happened , thats why the user is allways to blame, because it doesn't apreciate the other people work and doesn't follow the instructions because he knows better, CWM IS GREAT as long as the user does nothing stupid and wants to blame others for his fault, same for other tested and working recoverys
