[Q] HTC hero damaged ROM

Hi guys!
First of all, I want to say that I'm *really* new to andoid and this rooting stuff. My device is a HTC HERO with VILLAINROM-v13. That being said, this is my problem:
I tried using Link2SD to install apps on my sd card, since my phone's internal memory was getting full (apps2sd was nowhere to be found in the market for some reason). I formatted my sd card using ROM manager (also flashed clockwork while I was at it), then I tried to use Link2SD to move some apps. But I got an error saying 'failed to mount' when I started Link2SD, and so I didn't get it to work. Eventually, I gave up.
A few minutes later, my phone rebooted just randomly (it took extremely long to boot up again). A few minutes after that, it happened again. This time it didn't take so long, but when my home screen appeared, all my apps just vanished, including the Android Market. Phone's internal storage was empty, and there was nothing on the first and second partition of the sd card.
I'm kinda panicing. I don't know how big the damage is, and if it's able to be fixed at all. I don't know much about rooting and hacking the Android OS (actually, I bought this thing with villainrom on it). I don't know what to search on google, I don't know how to put another ROM on there or restore the current one, I don't know what to do!
Any help would be welcome

[Q] Please help urgently LG Optimus 3D and Atrix problem

Hi
I had an Atrix and used it for three months, then the internal memory (SD area) seemed to corrupt - I could not format or unmount it or access anything in there apart from copying files with Astro or ES File Manager. Even a full factory restore of the phone did not delete any of the data on the Internal SD (or Media Area). Ended up getting rid and getting an Optimus 3D.
Now, had the 3D for a month and can't believe I am having a similar problem. Android market apps kept disappearing on boot up (this is what started before), and randomly they would be there or not on each reboot. I moved some files using file manager from the internal to the external SD to create some room and my phone got stuck in a boot loop so I had to remove the battery and external SD for it to work again. Then, all of the apps on the internal sd instead of their icons had the android sd symbol and when clicked on say 'application not installed on phone'. When I look at the Sd and memory storage, the internal SD is nearly full still! I can't access it, can't factory reset it, or delete data. Surely there is some way of sorting this without yet another handset - it's gotta be a fixable glitch? In desperation rooted phone with Superoneclick which was really easy but doesn't help me because I can download from the market, etc, but can't actually install - I am stuck in the install 'candybar' for ages and it just won't work. I thought of manually deleting all of this stuff but I can't get a file manager onto the phone and the factory reset wiped out ES and Astro, I can't get them back on in the usual way.
Because I have root access now, I presume I may be able to use ADB through my PC to sort this problem - but of course would need exact commands etc, on how to do this through the command prompt? I am not an expert but think I just need to get rid of the carp on my internal SD which must have a corrupt file somewhere. Please help urgently, it is frustrating beyond belief and I almost feel like going back to Apple!!!!

Sorry bro but I didn't get, what do you want to do now?
IF you phone have some problem then firest do a factory reset, if it don't solve the problem then flash stock rom.
And there are many apps to do stuff like folder mount.
but please explain your problem,...

My main problem is I cant move my game data/obb files to my external SD card. I tried a bunch of apps like GL to SD, apps2sd, directory bind etc other than foldermount but failed every time.
Ok now the option is to do factory reset or flash stock rom......though i used iPhone for 4 years and jailbreak and other things was a very easy things for me but I am very much new in ANDROID.
So i need some idea about how to do flash stock rom and factory reset and how these can help moving apps data to external sd card.
May be I have explained my problem.
Thanks
okay Bro,
I have a thread regrading folder mount.
read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-to-foldermount-t2828552
and you can factory reset your device ..
go to settings-> accounts-> backup and reset-> factory data reset
and if you want to flash rom , I don't have much info about flashing rom to HTC. but you there is a thread of custom rom for HTC Desire 816 dual sim. ask about it there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712315
good luck

SD card problems

I've got about three gigabytes of music and about ten or twelve apps installed but my storage says I have less than 1gb free (16g version) anyone else have this issue? I had the restore con problem too and sorted that in five minutes but I can't even do a back up to update my ROM with this situation. Anyone know about it? I've looked through this thread and cant see any thing similar to my problem. Thanks guys
Install ES file explorer and use its sd analysis tool - it will show what uses space and so on.
If u can't find what's using up ur card u could try formating it in Windows or in recovery I've had funny things like that happen on my n5 and my HTC a format has always fixed it for me but be sure to back up any thing u don't want to lose.
Cheers guys
