my phone wont boot!! its turns on the splash screen and reboots over and over again. right before this happened i had flash a rom (Metrogenmod) i had already boot it into the rom and i tried using the camera and its said to insert sd card so i rebooted the phone and now it wont boot. i go into recovery mode and when i try to flash a rom it give me an error:

"E:nCan't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or dev/block/mmcblk0)
(no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard"

i have already switched sd card and nothing :(
 
flashed ruu file in bootloader and it boots but it keeps rebooting. it wil turn on and boot into the phone but only for like 3 minutes then it reboots. installed recovery again and tried flashing rom and it still gives me the same error :(

i dont know what to do
 
ok well i got it fixed :D (with the help of google)

well i think what was wrong is called "usb brick"
so i found this guide for the HTC desire

USB Brick Fix - HTC Desire

just followed the first few steps
(luckily i already had adb folder in my computer)

Note-If you usb bricked on s-off device then try this fastboot command to solve this

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0(unblock your sd-card)
fastboot oem eraseconfig(fix misc partition)

and now it works like before :D
 
ok before this thread i had another thread that certain roms wont boot on my phone and my ffc doesnt work on any rom, and now im wondering is there any other internal files that might be corrupted that cause certain roms not to work and my ffc not to work either?

PS.
MIUI GB(AOSP), TN Shooter Rom for Evo 4g(sense3.0), rainy day(sense 3.0) are roms that i have tried and reboot over and over every 3 minutes. (they boot up perfectly but i dont have enough time to set it up before it reboots)
MIUI ICS(AOSP), Radiance (sense3.5), Energy (sense 3.5), MikG3.11 (sense2.1+3.0) stock rom(sense1.0) 4korners (sense1.0) are roms that work flawless

i know this is an advance question, but it bothers me and i just want to know if anyone knows the answer

The great thing about flashing roms is that when you do a full wipe it replaces all the files in the phone. So if you are having issues going from rom to rom it is usually a hardware problem.

But even when i flashed the RUU on bootloader my phone couldnt read the sd card until i did the adb commands in fastboot. im not sure, thats just my opinion because i havent dropped the phone or anything and its kind of weird certain roms work and others dont.

Some ROMS even though made for the EVO just don't work well. I've had a few 3.5 ROMS that were just problem matic for me. I go back to Sense 2 and its great. I havent run a 3.5 in a while because I pretty much know its going to cause me issues.

But I used to run the roms and they worked perfectly and since the ffc stopped working some roms don't work either.

And I noticed I have alot of files that keep appearing no matter how many iI erase that say:
qxdm_(today or yesterdays date)_( more numbers). Dm
Example: Qxdm_20120516_2205

does your pc recognize your sd card? i have seen this before but it usually associated with the sd card. here is the fix:[ How-To ] Fix SD card not being detected & USB port not working - xda-developers. not sure if this will help or not.

This is kinda like what i did already, if you look at my second post i fixed my phone from being a usb brick, but im going to give this tutorial a try and see if it fixes it better than the first one i tried since the first one was for the HTC Desire.
 
ok i did the tutorial and i got an error after typing: "/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd-eng.img" in terminal emulator. The error said "segmentation fault"
i went through the tread and saw other people got the same error on the last page but it was never answered. what do i do?

not sure i have come up with nothing as far as that error goes. maybe try and reformat the card and try again.
 
alexandroid5 said:
but the error doesnt have to do with the sd card. the last command deals with the data folder in the system

ok after doing some research, you are correct. it could be a number of reasons for this error so it might be hard to pinpoint. what rom are you on? have you tried and re-download the file? is your card partitioned? if so, do you have cache moved to the card?

i am running Metrogenmod Update 4.5 (CM7) and i have downloaded the file through the phone and also i have downloaded it in my computer and put them in the sd card with the usb cable. i have not moved the cache to sd, the only command i ran was "A2SD reinstall" which i dont think moves the cache to the sd
