[Q] I will pay for helpful advice...anything to get my DI working

Please help me fix my Droid Incredible
I bought my Droid Inc last night (3rd Party). When i got it, it was rooted with some sort of Cyanogen mod. In the process of trying to install just a normal leaked Froyo build i really messed up... please forgive me in advance for my limited knowledge on the subject
The Droid didn't come with an SD card so i put my old Droid 1 SD Card in. Everything is wiped and i believe the card is formated correctly (FAT32).
Now, i can't do anything. I just keeps boot looping. I've gone into recovery and tried a factory reset, tried to put files onto the SD card via the Droid 1 and transfer the SD,....i've tried everything i know how.
The main error i keep getting is "unable to mount data, cache,..etc"
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP. I am so desperate

Which recovery menu are you getting? A recovery menu is a good thing! Depending on the recovery that you have will determine what the next steps are to fix your phone.

When i hold the down arrow and power on I am getting to the HBOOT screen. I'm unfamiliar with this menu coming from Droid but i have tried to Clear Storage and that didn't work. I've also gone into the "recovery" which i'm a little more familiar with as it looks like the Droid 1 screen.
Whats next?

again... which recovery menu do you have? it should be listed on the main recovery screen

oh i'm sorry
I have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
And i figured out how to mount my SD Storage via recovery... I just don't know what to do next

Beautiful! Now... Choose a ROM that you want on the phone and put the zip on the SD card..Then flash via recovery...
Once this is done and you are back into your OS, you can either keep the ROM or you can follow the instructions for unrooting the phone back to stock.. your choice.

Just a quick update...

I think my htc wildfire is kinda bricked...

Hi,
this is my first forum post here and I really have a big problem...
I installed a custom rom with rommanager and if I turn on my phone it says touch the android to continue but when I touch it nothing happens
So I wanted to install the original rom I backed up but that is not possible because everytime I go to Hboot and try to open ''install from .zip'' or something in clockworkmod it just shows a black screen and when I hit the power button it goes back to the option menu from clockworkmod, Now I tried to do the things for slcd screen and everything but it doesnt work, when I put the update.zip on my micro sd the Hboot says ''checking sd card... no image or wrong image!'' so I changed my micro Sd card and now when I get into Hboot it just says nothing and when I click on recovery still black screen and not working I really need help asap!!! so is there a way to install my backed up original rom on my htc wildfire with my pc or a way to get clockworkmod working??
Please help asap!!!
Thank you

You should be able to fix your phone by running the exe on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877091
it'd be this one http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4b...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
As long as the setup can detect your phone or if it can't just be at the bootloader screen while running that setup, it should detect that and reboot or switch to RUU mode in bootloader

[Q] Rooted HTC desire will no longer mount SD cards

I have a Desire that is running Clockworkmod Recovery V2.5.0.7 and while I was attempting to flash the the new gingervillan ROm the whole thing crashed and hang for 60 minutes. I pulled the battery and now it will not reboot and the phone will not mount the SD card so I cant re flash the rom. I have tried installing the stock RUU roms but they just say it cant connect to the phone. I have checked the sdcard on different devices and phones and it is not corrupt.
Any help please to unbrick my sd card reader?
Fixed the issue by placing the SD card in an old NOKIA N95 and formated via the phone, this for some reason fixed the issue and the Desire could then read it.

My desire just wet the bed too, failing to recognise SD cards and with SIM card connectivity blinking on and off. The irony was that this only happened after attempting a "read-only" nandroid backup. Try restoring a nandroid backup when even recovery can't detect your sd card.
I was surprised though that the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 seemed to work after a few false starts. Initially I just wanted it to have the name of my provider on the spash screen so that I could return it as it's under warranty but now it works so I'll just hang onto it.
Don't let "unroot" put you off - you can always re-root afterwards.
NOTE 1: Match the *major* radio version to your existing radio, or the upgrade will fail on the radio step
NOTE 2: Run it a few times - for some reason even though it may fail the first time, it gets a little further on subsequent efforts. On my last attempt it said the partition step failed, then I tried to boot and it worked fine.
I was convinced it was a hardware failure but it turns out hboot could read the sd card fine using this method, and just recovery / the rom couldn't find it.
Edit: One more point: when you look in your device manager in windows, the device will appear as pid_0000 and vid_0000.

Thanks heaps

Help would be greatly appreciate it!

I have made a big mistake and tried upgrading my phones firmware to install a costume rom.
Phone: HTC Sensation 4G
Company: Tmobile
I downloaded it the wrong firmware now my phone keeps restarting to the main htc screen over and over it wont get past that, I tried doing a factory reset but I'm not sure if it went trough. I'm done toying around with my phone I just want to go back to the the stock version of htc please help me. I can't afford to buy another phone.
Thank you so much.

I'm a newbie, too. So get my advice in doubt.
As far as I read from forum, Task29 clears the ROM all. Then you can install a ROM freshly. May be you can search sbout doing Task29 on your device.

Download a compatible rom from the net to your computer and transfer it to the SD card using a USB cable (or just use the restore option in the recovery menu if you backed up the previous rom, which you should have). Then boot into recovery by turning your phone on, wait 1 second then press volume down then volume up to recovery and flash the new rom you just put on the SD card.
Good luck
If you can't get into recovery mode then I don't have a clue, sorry.

If u can't get into recovery, u have to push the rom to the phone via adb. There's a thread somewhere on how to do it. Search it
Hit THANKS if I helped u

Guys,i need SERIOUS help! PLEASE!

first off, im not sure if im putting this in the right forum section, forgive me if im not also this is long, but please read on.
anyway heres whats up.
Recently the Nexus S line started receiving their 4.1 update. I have a Nexus S 4G (so obviously Sprint). Angry - again- that the 4G model did not get the update (or will be anytime soon) i rooted my phone again after some time.
after some random issues with it (apps would crash constantly) i attempted to switch to CM10. that didnt work. so i went to CM9 and then CM10. everything was fine until the phone would reboot on its own from time to time and every now and then i would pull the battery. After some time the issues stopped.
NOW, the other night my phone died. this morning i decided to charge it. after charging for about 20 minutes i attempted to turn it on, but i ended up getting stuck at the bootlogo (Google with the unlock) i pulled the battery, and tried again. Same thing. I proceeded to go into recovery and flash a ROM that i knew was safe to boot into, except, the SD card would not mount- saying there was an error. Thats where im at now. the SD will not mount, and im stuck at the bootlogo. I believe i "bricked" my phone.
heres what i need help with. I locked the bootloader with Fastboot,but i still have CWM on the phone. i cant delete CWM without getting into the SD card, but the SD card refuses to mount. I want to get CWM off, so that i can send the phone in for repair/a new one. my warranty - although void now - still has a 5 months left on it. Im not worried about switching the ROM because the phone wont boot anyways,which means that when i give in, they wont be able to do anything besides see that its not rooted.
TL;DR
i think i bricked my phone, but i still have hope for it. SD wont mount, and im stuck at bootloader. i need a way to either fix this, or delete CWM somehow. Im on a Nexus S 4G.
PLEASE! Any suggestions are appreciated!

Do u have a backup showing when u go to backups?
Or is it SD card not mountable at all?
Next can u mount via USB?
If so copy ur SD to then format it.
Do u have a backup of ur SD card on ur computer b4 this happened?
If so then try to format SD card then put ur backup in it and then flash a backup or new ROM.
Vs Nexus S 4G

if you have fastboot then you can flash factory images... read this guide a couple times before trying it

but you need a ns4g image from here

no backups at all, but even if i did, the backups would be stored on my SD card,which i cant access. when i go into CWM and go to install zip from SD card, it says "error mounting SD card"

ill check that out. another issue im having is that i think i found a way to fix this, but i can only fix it if my bootloader is unlocked, which, in attempt to mask my errors, i locked, and now i cannot unlock it. when i press "yes,unlock my bootloader" the phone freezes up. i need some way to unlock my bootloader OR enable USB debugging from my computer. thing is, while i DO have all the drivers for my phone, the computer will not recognise the phone. It makes a sound when i plug in the phone, to show something IS plugged in, but it does not show up in my drives.

Is the phone locked by a provider?
CWM works? Format all - data & system & cache & SD CARD.
Then use ODIN to flash a proper stock firmware, unlock & root your phone one again.
A lot of work but necessary...:fingers-crossed:

heres the catch about CWM, i can format all my data and system and wipe the cache. When i format the system, that also formats the SD.BUT under the advanced options in CWM, i cant format ONLY the SD. it gives me a mounting error. And i believe i found a solution through linux, but i need the bootloader unlocked, which i locked up again. Everyone says odin is the way to go but i cant get it on because the SD is unmountable.
is there some sort of adapter i can plug into the USB port at the bottom of the phone that lets me attach an external SD? i believe if i can attach an external SD card which contains the things i need such as a stable ROM, then i can get the phone working. i came across a website which repairs bricked phones. In a video of a Nexus S brick repair, the tech guy installed some files through a "jig"(?) do you think if i can get my hands on one of those i can fix my phone?
