Hello together
i searching for a way to hold my sd card clean.
on the root of the sd card are all folders from installed aps or system thinks... i search for a way to install all system apps and files in a subfolder to hold the root of the sd clean
any sollution to do this?
Easiest thing is to put the SD card into your PC, delete the folders you don't want and then put it back in the phone and boot up - it'll put the folders it HAS to have back on and the rest stay gone (until you use an app again that adds a folder)

So I finally rooted my phone this weekend. And today I wanted to take advantage of some cool themes. So I downloaded the Macdroid v2.2 ADP1.1 theme and renamed it update.zip. Now my phone is stuck on the android boot screen. It just continues to load and load... I have tried wiping my phone and it still reloads and reloads. I can change the update file because there is no way to mount my SD card. Any suggestions? Please?
I guess what im really asking is, is there any way to mount my sd card without actually pressing the mount tab in the notifications menu? My pc recognizes the removable disk, but will not let me look at the sd card. This way I can change the update.zip
Do you have a card reader? Or something else that takes an sd card, such as a digital camera?
were you using ADP or RC30 on your phone. If you were using modified RC30 and installed ADP theme, that would mess it up.
If you followed instructions to root, you should have also update boot with HardSPL and Not sure ifyou made a backup. if you did, you can fastboot recover it.
Otherwise, redo everything and you may need to use another method to load files on your Sd card.

Yeah, at home. I was thinking that I would need to delete it from the card that way.

I had this same problem myself, once you access your card, put the RC29 back on it and flash it back. It will delete everything, making it factory default. You can then follow these steps again to re-root your phone.

I did follow the instructions correctly. I know this because I had already installed other themes before this one. Before I installed the theme update I did move all the files still on my card that I needed to gain root to a separate file on my card. Could that be the reason?

If you can boot into recovery mode, you can use adb to push files to your sdcard.
for example
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push JFV1.41_ADP1.1.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Trust me I searched and now I'm tired and need some help.
I had my sd card filled with junk files so I cleaned the sd up.
Before doing this I was able to:
- power phone down
- press down volume key and power buton.
- phne would boot up and I had the option to choose RECOVERY.
- once in recovery I got the evo icon and triangle and exclamation.
- I than pressed the up volume key and power button.
- I than got choices were I would choose APPLY SDCARD:update.zip
NBow here's the problem! When I choose that I now get an error saying NO SUCH FILE EXISTS. Before the sd cleanup when I chose that I got option to install roms and do other things.
I copied EVERY update.zip file and update file I found on my PC to the root of the sd card and NONE work.
Can you guys please link me to the right file?
Thanks In Advance!!!!

What section should it be in? General?
Make sure you named the file correctly. You do not rename it to "update.zip" because it already adds the ".zip" file extension to the back. Just name the folder "update". I made this mistake, so I'm thinking you may have done the same thing.
yeah..maybe general, but I'd suggest using ROM Manager from the market..it puts a recovery there for ya

Thanks for that. I tried it but it tells me an error occured while attempting to run privilaged command. Its like my phone got un rooted!
I will wait for this thread to be moved were its suppose to be.
My guess would be that your microSD is corrupt. Assuming you're running Windows, pull any files you need off the card and save them, then re-format the card with:
FAT32 (default)
quick format
4096 bytes
Once the card has been reformatted, put your files back on and try it again.

usually to remove petitions on any sort of storage device, you will have to reformat the data from the petition. so just make a copy of all the files and reformat it

Ok I will try that. Should I reformat with using the phone or the computer?
assuming you have a custom recovery installed (like clockworkmod), you can re-partition your SD card from there quite easily.

I do but how do I re-partition it so that I have all my memory back on my sdcard. Also but I don't need to have it partition in order for me to be able to install roms and such do I?

Hi,
Use a card reader,and open it on your pc/laptop.
Use Control + A , Control + C .
This will copy all your files folders and hidden files,and paste them into a new folder on your desktop.
Go online and get "G-Parted Live" (google it).
Use this to delete partitions and format your sd card,then put everything back on it.
I have something all out of whack here .... I have been flashing different ROMs ... gone all the way back to stock ee4 and moved forward. I can install rooted roms and I have root. I can open Titanium and freeze appz and such. My tethering app gets granted su permissions with su popping up asking to allow and so forth. But when I go into CWM recovery, none of the zips on my sd card show up!! I put the sd card into a reader on my desktop and verify the files are on the root of the sd card but I can't see them in recovery !!
Any help greatly appreciated. I'm willing to do whatever I have to do to the phone !!
Thanx In Advance for Any Help
Steve
EDIT: All of this because I couldn't get the browser to work on Danalo's All In One while on WIFI home network. Browser works on 3g but not WIFI ... network is good, wife's moto droid works fine on wifi ...
I'd like to go back to Imnuts' Infinity ROM but I can't see the zip !!!
I can put the zips in a folder on the sd card I created and I can see them in recovery. Just can't see them on the root level of the card ...
Have you tried different programs to actual zip the file, is it getting named file.zip.zip? Sometimes you just name a file depending on the program and it adds .zip to it so it would be file.zip.zip.
I see what you are saying didnt work for me hang on I have 2 ideas. Rename it as an update.zip file and make sure its not update.zip.zip or use root explorer to move the file into a folder that you see in root level such as data. Ok worked for me I moved the file with root explorer to android/data on the sdcard reboot into recovery and see it. Maybe Im not understanding what you are trying to do.

I've never had an issue before seeing zip files at the root level. I mistakenly mounted system during all of the flashing I've done. Had trouble with other versions of un-mounting system but in the end got that back to original. But I don't see the (properly named) zip files at the root level on the phone. Yes, I can see them when moved into another folder but the ones that are there at root level of the sd card are not seen.
I was under the impression that to install a ROM like Imnuts' Infinity, it had to be executed from the root level of sd card and not from within a folder?
My guess is you have so many folders in your sdcard that you can't see it. Try scrolling alllll the way down. I think you'll see it.
The same thing happened to me. I thought I was losing my mind

OOPS !!! You nailed it and don't I just feel like a dumb di** !
It was driving me nutz last night !! Reckon it's time to clean up the old sd card
That's one of the reasons why I put the CWM ZIP files into a folder where all of them reside. I called it "ROMs", you may name it differently than I do. Say "CWMStuff" so that it hopefully will stay near the top of the file list.
I actually have a folder already there 'charge_zips' .... appreciate the thought that put me onto it ... sometimes you do so much you miss the obvious, right?
hahahaha.....amazing, was driving me crazy as well!!! the zip was right at the bottom!
what will happen?thanks!
If you try boot into recovery using the key combination then it'll reflash the firmware I think.
you will be asked if you want to flash the file again.
Just say no by pressing the correct volume button.
You wont be able to get into your recovery until you delete the file. Take the card out and delete the file and you should be ok.
If you don't delete then every time when you boot in to bootloader it will ask you to flash recovery again.

Those are a lot of incomplete answers.
It will not allow you to reach the recovery or any other options in the bootloader because the bootloader will read the file and ask if you want to update, if you say no, it just reboots. If you say yes, it reflashes. The only way to get back your bootloader and recovery is to delete that file.
I had to use another phone to delete the file from my SD card as i facing continuous bootloop...
dont need second phone
take the sd card out,
boot the phone into the boot loader
go to recovery
it will start counting down or whatever looking for the sd card
put the card back in
it will see the sd card
it will continue on into recovery
connect to pc
mount usb in recovery
delete img file
reboot now if you like everything will be back to normal
* i believe this will also work if you put the sd card in after the bootloader is loaded before you go to recovery, the card just needs to be not present while the bootloader is loading. i believe it checks the card when it loads the bootloader, but after the bootloader comes up you can put the card back in then proceed to recovery

indeed, agree 100% with you. the adaptor is the easiest and fastest way to copy/delete that pg58img file.
if u lucky, u can get 2x card reader for £0.99 (ebay)... and sell the 2nd one (just done that )
Ceed is on the correct path, but you don't even need to go that far. If you simply take out the memory card, boot the phone, then put the memory card back in, you can delete the file using any file explorer program from the market. I prefer Root Explorer, but really anything will work. Hope that helps.
You don't have to delete it. Simple as 'adb reboot recovery'
