phone reboots to bootloader image with 3 skateboards

i have a class 6 adata 8gb 2gb ext4 64mb swap rest fat32
im running cyanogen 4.0.2 or 4.0.4 whichever one i load up from sd at the time, but both are stable. i have newest radio and spl also. the issue is simple. i can get into recovery mode and bootloader menu. everytime i reboot it goes to bootloader menu(3 skateboards). camera button is not held down either or stuck. the only way to get past this screen is to evertime i reboot to factory wipe and install new rom which is a pain. i was wondering if by having the original image DREAIMG file in a folder on my sd is whats causing this. but now that i cant get past this screen i cant remove it from sd. i also already tried mounting sd to comp from console using: "ums_enable" it does nothing(tried it on 3 computers). im tired of reseting and reflashing. pls some assistance.

Have you tried to reflash the SPL? You could just redo the entire root process and replace everything.

New Isuue, Same Problem
Sorry it took so long to get back here. No I haven't tried that. How could it be the SPL? Im asking it in a meaningful way, like why and/or how could it be?
I will reflash the SPL tonight and edit post if it works.
I also erased my sd card and re partioned in in "parted" it booted fine. The battery died today and i rebooted it and BAM! bootloader screen again. So i factory reset and flashed a new ROM image. then it worked fine. now only problem is the private apps i have installed wont work and they get stuck on uninstalling....Whats the fix for that?
Thanks XDA!!

You need to start over and replace everything. It sounds like you have multiple problems. Use THIS guide starting with the downgrade bacause it will reflash EVERYTHING on your phone. If the problem persist then it's hardware issues. Redownload everything, don't use anything you already downloaded because these files might be bad too.

Root Loop?

Hi all,
I downloaded the modaco update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip, and flashed my stock 2.1 (out of the box) nexus one rom, it worked well for about 9 hours, i plugged it into my car charger and when i took it off, it froze, and the touch screen disabled. Now im trying to reflash the rom and keep getting stuck at E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, then E: Can't mount SD card
Any ideas on how i can get this working again?
Thanks

reinsert your sdcard, I have issues where the sdcard doesn't sit properly. This is assuming your using a2sd

i have a few times, same thing keeps happening, is there anything else I can try before I chalk it up to hardware malfunction and send it in to get a new one.... i reaallly dont want to do that
im also tried different sd card, and none of them have worked.

Well..... I wouldn't consider it to be a hardware malfunction yet.
1. Have you tried a non-apps2sd rom, like Stock Froyo
2. Have you tried completely reformatting your SD card on your desktop, while using a MicroSD to SD to USB converter or something of that sort. You'll need to delete all the partitions as you won't be able to see the EXT partiton in explorer, use disk manager
3. Have you tried using a different SD card?
4. Maybe you should completely wipe all the device in fastboot, maybe something is screwy, maybe even reinstall your recovery image
Try these things, then come back with results. We can diagnose issues after some of these troubleshooting techniques

i haven't tried formatting the card, but i have tried other cards with the update.zip flash, do you have a link to the stock froyo file
i think the problem is that the one i downloaded wasnt legit, and i have wiped the device in fastboot, the problem is that something is wrong with the touch screen, when it relaods from rebooting, it will get to the touch the android welcome screen and wont register any touch screen input, only volume up/down, trackball, and power button

okay, i tried formatting the sd card, and putting the update.zip file on it, and the same error occurred, when i tried to flash in recovery mode.

any update on what i can do to fix this?

Flash the original recovery image. You can find it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614057
You would do this through fastboot. Its easy, try that out

how do you do it through fastboot, i've only flashed through recovery

Put the img file on your sdcard, boot into fastboot, it should automatically check for the image and you should get a prompt asking for you to continue installing the image

no luck, it doesnt search for the image. When i enter fastboot, it just shows four options: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down

Then I would say something is faulting with your SD Card or your SDcard slot. I would try and take a very small ammount of rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to the contacts of your SD card, but there is no way to get into the slot without damaging it. If you have to do a warranty replacement just state that yes your device is bootloader unlocked but you're a developer and it is necessary to unlock in order to better serve the android platform

[Q] SD card slot not working after flashing Firerat's recovery

Long story short:
I was running this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926116
and decided to reflash it. After flashing Firerat's Recovery another time (from the same file on the SD card that I have used many times before,) I rebooted into ClockWorkMod recovery and went to flash zip. from sd card but it could not find the sd card and then crashed. I then went into the rom that already existed, it could not read the sd card either. Not knowing what to do, I then went and followed the instructions for "if you found yourself stuck without recovery:" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 here. From there I did a hard reset and now the phone is running Android 1.1, but the Sd card slot still doesn't work.
(Kind of unrelated, when I just got the phone the camera would not work, and would Force Close whenever I tried it. Same thing on any Rom I tried on the G1. After the hard reset however, it started working.)
Anybody know what to do?

HD7 phone HATES ME...a liitle advice?

OK, so this HD7, was windows version 7.5 and bootloader 5.xx, so I downgraded since no SPL tools were working on the modern bootloader version. I had a 2GB SD card installed and formatted, and the phone was working. I took the 16GB out to try and wipe the card and format (linux or Nokia method I haven't decided) and I ended up getting HSPL loaded after successfully goldcard-flashing the stock ROM (TMOUS ROM). I was following Xboxmod's SD card recovery thread and installed the XboxMod ROM suggested in his thread, and it flashed fine- but suddenly the SD card is not recognized. I reinsert the 16GB and it sees it and all is good- but I want the 16GB OUT and reformatted, so this isn't going to work. So, I tried looking for a way to reformat the SD in HSPL mode or with goldcard and found similar complaints about non-working SD cards and 12MB only on SD card, figuring these may be similar issues I downloaded the tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263347&page=7
I ran it and went through the first time and just did a check to make sure everything was working and at the end it asks to wipe c58 (I think) from what I understood this was what fixed everyone's problem. So I did, and it didn't change the way the phone behaved, still boots to 'damaged storage card' screen. So I ran the tool again and chose the other option 'reflash c58' and it entered the 'Entering USB host mode' screen, immediately followed by "No Image Found!" with 'serial' across the screen. I unplugged it after some frustration and reboots etc and some failed SCHUIMG goldcard files that still prompted "No Image Found!" screen..then plugged it into PC, and it switches to USB mode, then I could flash a ROM (reflashed the Xboxmod ROM in hopes that it would at least get me out of the prompt for USB host mode), ROM flashed successfully but still boots to USB host mode, no matter what I put on the goldcard it says "No Image Found!". I'm at a loss as to what my next step should be here......except not to ever buy another windows phone in my lifetime..this is ridiculous- now it won't read the 2GB or 16GB SDcard..
EDIT after some more research it is the s58, not c58..I downloaded the s58 DIAG img and am going to see what that does loaded on the goldcard now..hope someone has had this issue before and get set me straight (btw I bought a cheap symbian Nokia phone, hopefully will unlock the SD cards but now to get the phone to use one...)

ok, I flashed every rom that was reported to work to get the hd7 out of USB host mode, I found the developer's thread, though I can't make heads or tails of the broken English at times, forgive my unilingual handicap..so apparently this is a common problem for people who clear the s58 by pressing the power button, even though the dev says it is simply waiting for the firmware to be flashed, I can't get it to recognize any ngh I mg file on the SD, using a mock xtc cable and a partitioned SD card in a USB reader, it worked to downgrade the phone, and it apparently sees it because it replies 'no image file' when I plug it in. It then goes into serial mode, and I can plug it into the PC and flash the rom with any signed rom and flip my spl all about, from 1.20 to 3.1 to 5.1 and back, and full roms seem to install but after every reboot...
''Entering USB host mode...''
The dev really did a disservice if you ask me by not putting a warning screen of any kind, and the action happens as soon as you press the button..no additional prompts, no time to pull the batt.. and now he has basically blamed those who used his software for having problems and refusing to assist because they didn't watch his video tutorial... :-\ doesn't seem right to me, when I got the sw I read no warnings, even though I've put 30 eyeball-hours on the forum over this beast!!
So...does anyone know WHY it is bootlooping into host mode?

ecj try it again

huh? I have flashed until I am blue in the face..it is a waste of time if I don't know what I mg file is damaged/missing..I don't even know exactly the extent of what clearing the s58 does so I don't know how to fix what I don't know how its broken? Anyone please...or alternatively someone with a riff box wanna buy cheap? Done with wp7..back to android..

Ok, well, not going to abandon this post even though the HD7 section looks dead here..
I have conquered the HD7 without using a riffbox, the problem was how I had made the goldcard, for some reason it worked perfectly well to flash the phone and to open the SCHUDIAG.IMG file, but after I wiped the s58 the phone somehow had higher standards..something I didn't anticipate.
The phone would only allow me to flash signed (that is stock) ROMs (I could do so by plugging in the goldcard while in USB host mode and I would see the 'serial' option appear, I could then unplug the phone and plug it into the pc and use a generic RomFlashUtility task to push ROMs to the phone, although I never got it to successfully flash all the way and stop bootlooping, I was able to flash full ROMs will SPLs of varying versions).
What finally cracked it was this- I had a 4GB microSD, partitioned into a 990MB SD, I had the CID and a goldcard img made properly for windows phones, here was my procedure;
Format the SD in fat32 and upon completion, remove and reinsert the card (I didn't think this would be necessary, but apparently it is)
Load goldcard tool and load img file and patch MMC (success card ___is now a gold card! etc) Remove card and replace!!
Place SIGNED ROM onto goldcard. I had tried this 100 times with different ROMs, from TMOBUS (which is the phone's original rom) to O2 ROMs, AT&T ROMs etc. The Europe O2 UK ROM finally cracked it for me, I placed it in the y cable expecting another "No Image File!" Error, but instead it said "Loading... Bootloader - OK etc." and began loading the ROM. This reset and scared me because it went directly into USB host mode and appeared to be looping again, but I let it do it's thing, and it went through the entire procedure and rebooted again, starting to go into USB host mode and load the same goldcard image again..
I'm screwed, I thought, sure it was bootlooping, so before it could do anything I snatched it from the y cable and removed the battery and replaced it and rebooted...the O2 screen came up!! I was out of the bootloop!!
It loaded up with my 16GB card inside, I then flashed it with RSPL/HSPL and loaded the XBmod ROM on it as per the SD Card recovery instructions, located the dev storagelock.cab file and pushed it through at the startup screen, all went without a hitch. Unlocked the SD card, reformatted, works like a charm..now there's the matter of this 2GB card that I had previously formatted to work but suddenly stopped working when I flashed it back to stock the first time before fubar-ing the thing...
Anyway, I know a long story but I wanted to leave this for anyone who bricked their phones into USB host mode bootloops using the SCHUDIAG.IMG tool on the goldcard, it is possible to come back if you find the right ROM and build your goldcard image correctly. Now..to get rid of this damn windows phone...

[Q] Wierd internal SD problem

Hey,
Been trying to reset the tab to factory defaults the tab does his mojo untill it reboots into android 2.3.6 and then everything is still on the internal SD card.
Then i went to hook it up on the pc tried manually deleting everything on the internal SD pc say's its done i look in the tab and its all still there.
Tried copy'ing files over to the SD card but does not wanne stay on it.
Ok now then i went on booting odin up and rooted it + cwm recovery on it it does it like a charm and works can boot into the recovery.
Now since i cant hold any roms on the internal sd card i went on using an external sd card put on cm 10.2 and gapps,
Installed the rom then reboots into a newer version of cwm and it tells me its not rooted.
ok fine i restarted the tab and went back into recovery then it was rooted.
Went on to install the cm 10.2 and gapps now its hanging at the cm logo on boot
So i went on to flash dbdata.rfs.tar wich normally gets me passed a bootloop.
This time however it dident work.
Anybody has any ideas i can still try to get it to work ?
I think its more of a lock on the internal SD card since it can't hold any files nor delete's anything but im not sure hopefully some1 with some more experience then me can help me further on this problem
Thx

Not locked. The internal SD chip is failing.
You will see many post that has symptoms such as: previous owner info cannot be removed. New data cannot be saved. Wiping failed.

My mind was vaguely thinking that but still hoping it wasent
