Hi All I am a total newb and have totally messed up my Desire. I rooted it a few months ago and all went fine, however i tried to install a new rom yesterday and everything has gone wrong. The phone switches on but it is just a black screen that has the word android flashing intermittently. I can still access hboot but when I try to install zip file the sd card appears totally blank. As it stands it is totally useless. Any help greatly appreciated
where have you put that zip file in sdcard?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
The zip file was in the sd card but is no longer there, the sd card appears empty.
When I connect phone to pc it doesn't recognise the device so cant access card at all.
if you are using clockworkmod recovery, connect phone to pc with cable, than go to recovery and from mount and storage option select mount usb, you can access your sd card from pc now, copy another rom and try to flash it
I accessed the sdcard and flashed a different ROM which loaded fine, however it still wont boot. The Rom is the only file on the the sdcard I need all the HTC drivers and set up etc

Well, after getting a blue screen on my PC I then tried what most suggested: DELETE/UNINSTALL any LG driver and re-plug phone to install drivers again.
I went to uninstall programs and got rid of the LG driver there, then plugged my phone up and apparently installed two out of three files successfully. I rebooted my pc and now I plug my phone to it and two things:
1. My computer does not see the sdcard
2. My phone does not see my sd card
When I try to go with phone file manager to SD card it says.... SD card not mounted.
What to do now?
Is it mounted in the Settings > Sd card & Storage menu?
Nope...
I'm running cm7 and in the storage menu there are 3 breaks:
the first one for the SD card, second one for internal and third one to show you how much space is left in the SD card...
Well, in the 1st slot there is not card mounted but in the last one it does show how much space is left/used.... very weird if you ask me!
I will check if the sdcard is not bricked now with a sdcard reader...
well, I think the SDcard is bricked.... I put in the SD reader and connected to my pc and it is not being recognized!
UPDATE: Bought a new sdcard and I still can't mount my card to the pc? WTF!!

Have you reinstalled the LG drivers? Your PC cannot access even the SD card without those drivers.
This is why, once I upgraded past G1, I decided to not root anymore. 2.2 with a strong phone works great. I focus on being a "power user" and not a modder because, quite frankly, it takes way too much effort and the risk of messing up my phone is too great. I just don't understanding stepping out on that ice all the time, when the phone works so well without modding it beyond the user experience.
download from LG site
Hi,
Have you tried downloading and installing the latest drivers from LG website?
I couldn't connect to SD at first until I used the downloaded drivers.
No problems anymore here.
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah
UPDATE: I have went back to eagleblood's rom and now I am able to mount my internal and external sdcards to my pc *HAPPY*
I plan on going back to CM7 and hopefully I am able to mount the cards again without the BSOD!
UPDATE: as stated earlier... I went back to CM7 and now all my f'ng drivers are messed up again...not able to mount/unmount SDcard!!
CM7 should look into this.
I previously had bricked my Xoom and was able to get it back to stock (with help from the forum). I then rooted it and was going to try flash BRD's Kernal, 3.1 update, bootloader, ect. I DL'd the files and saved them to my SD card. Popped the SD card in. Rebooted into Clockword and could not see my external SD to flash from. I went into the advanced setting in CWM and checked to see if the SD card was mounted... It wasn't. I don't even have the mount/unmount SD option anymore.
I went to the forums and kept getting looped back to the Clockwork Mod 3.2.0.0 thread. Is there a way to push this file through ADB? I'm new to ADB so I don't know if it's even possible. If so which file? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to the post, I can't see the external card anywhere. Not in the file manager or on my PC, via USB. I've formatted the SD card in my Droid 2 and my PC. That's all that I can think of to add to this.
You can push the recovery in fastboot. Make sure your CWM is version 3, not the version 4. Get it from the forums, in fact the link in my sig for all 20 stock images has everything you need.

if you loaded 4.0.0.4 already and if you have rom manager you can scroll to the bottom and choose "All ClockworkMode Recoveries" and choose 3.0.2.5, then go to thread i linked and flash that..
Thats how far my knowledge goes
Hope it helps
I've copied Turkawa's post as an alternative to pushing files through adb. If you go the adb route you need to download all of the necessary files on your computer. Also make sure to only flash the image file (.img) not a zip file through adb.
Good luck!

If you can't see your SD card anywhere that is problem number one. If you have a SD card in your droid2, put it in the xoom while it is powered off and boot into clockwork. If you can read the card you have narrowed your problem to the card itself. Try using Panasonic SD formatter (Google for the free app) to format the card and try again.
I recently flashed CM 10 Official Alpha on my AT&T Skyrocket and I've experienced an issue with my SD card. Basically it shows us as my internal storage. Whenever I hook it up to my PC via USB (Windows 7) my internal storage pops up and another disk that I can't access (grayed out). The files I have on my SD card show up whenever I enter recovery mod (Currently on Touch Recovery) but I can't access it through my PC or any other way. I've tried file browsing applications from the market to see if the SD card shows up, but no luck. I also read the change log on their website to see if there was any issues with an SD card and I came up with nothing. I followed every step exactly as posted in the topic when flashing. Is there any way to get my SD card to show up?
Thanks in advanced.
I second this. What I've been doing is copying things onto the internalSD, then using a file manager to get it on external.
Painful, yes, but, I don't think it's ready yet.

Pleaase any one help
wich way have you tried installing new rom...?
recovery or adb?
Ok so Ive accidently wiped my Internal SD card of my LG Optimus G (e971) after installing an incompatible custom ROM for my phone. The ROM didn't cause the wipe it that was my own stupidity..
Its now stuck on a bootloop and I have no recoveries to revert to. can get into clockworkmod recovery and all modes.
Only problem is that most computers aren't recognizing my device. And I'm having trouble with the MTP device driver Im not sure if that driver is vital to having computers recognize my phone.
It showed up as an empty drive with no storage space on one computer but I could not transfer files to it.
Plz help if you have a single idea as to what I should do to repair this error!!
Rogers, LG Optimus G
Custom Kernel : B18c1 att LGOG
(no ext SD and non removable battery)
Ermagherd.... someone help.. herro preez..
Cant mount sdcard from recovery and having troubles with adb maybe my skills at cmd prompt suck but i cant seem to transfer the rom onto the sdcard in any folder...
did you try to uninstall your drivers and reinstall them and find a stock firmware are stock kernal recovery download and change that file to update.zip then copy that to your sd card directory are even try a new sd card and usb cable are port then these steps then go into recovery mode from your cell and find that update.zip folder and download i am very new to this so i hope this helps in anyway
