sorry i should have been clearer
'' the 16gb card that ships with tmous hd2's doesn't usually work for flashing.''
(yea yea there are now gonna be half a dozen tmous users all saying they can, hehe)
((oh and i mean for stock rom flashing, of course, not android..))

maybe im wrong but thought you had to be running a stock or sense base rom for htc sync to recognize the phone being that my phone wont load or restore i cant flash or nand back to a sense base or even stock
starting to think maybe my sd card fried cant get it to transfer files from my pc or to my pc it stalls out trying to format it but thats not working well either keep gettin windows cannot complete the format error or a sd card is locked message.... in other words having hell thinking about smashing it and filing on insurance.......

Did you see my help LINKS thread lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.

If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.

Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.

ive alway used my old mt3gs 4gig sd card.

[Q] Chinese Incredible S, want to flash non-Chinese ROM

Hi all, I've searched for help on this and not found anything, please don't crucify me if the solution is extremely simple. I wanted to post my problem in the relevant thread but it wouldn't let me do that so I made a new one.
My girlfriend recently won an Incredible S in a competition here in Shanghai. Great phone but it seems that the Chinese ROM is crippled in some ways - most importantly no Google syncronisation. She can set up her Gmail account in the usual way but it doesn't sync her contacts/calendar/email etc. like her Desire does. It's also got a bunch of Chinese crap that she doesn't need (Weibo, RenRen, etc.).
All I want to do is put a non-Chinese stock Sense ROM on it. I don't really care about custom ROMs as she really likes the Sense UI. It's currently running Gingerbread 2.3.3.
So I downloaded the 2.3.3 Virgin Mobile Australia ROM from this thread (since it seemed to be the most popular and apparently is free from any Virgin Mobile branding or bloatware). I researched and realised that I need to make a gold card. I did this using Goldcard Tool 0.7, and I double-checked with a hex editor that it was correct according to the .IMG I got from the site where you input your CID and get the IMG. Everything seems to check out.
So now I have the gold card in the phone, I connect it with USB debugging on, and put it into mass storage mode (I've tried in charge only mode too, didn't work). I then run the Virgin Mobile RUU file on my Windows 7 PC (RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Virgin_Mobile_AU_2.12.981.2_R_Radio_20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185029_signed).
And every time I try, I get the same error: Error [131]: Customer ID error.
I researched this and it seems this is what happens if you try to flash another carrier's ROM to your phone without a gold card. The full error text is "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
I also note that the Virgin Australia ROM has a lower version number (2.12.981.2) than the ROM that is currently on the phone (2.21.1400.8), could this be the reason why it won't update?
My main question is... what do I do from here to get the Virgin Mobile ROM running on the phone? Is it possible that they've made this phone so you can't flash any other ROM on it, even with a gold card?
Apologies for any noobishness. I have spent hours researching this, but to no avail. I previously rooted my girlfriend's HTC Desire and didn't have too many issues (and learned a lot about Android in the process), but this seems to be kicking my ass as I'm following instructions to the letter and it's still not working.
Any advice? I would really appreciate any help.

This usually indicates a bad goldcard. What size SD card did you make the goldcard with? Also, when you ran the GoldCard tool, did you use the MMC0 or MMC1 value? Either way that is the problem because the IncS actually uses MMC2, so you need to use SimpleGoldCard:

Thank you SO much for replying! I was using MMC1 (MMC0 didn't work). I will try SimpleGoldCard and report back.
I tried with a 2Gb and a 1Gb card (both Sandisk), neither worked.
Thanks again for your help! Hope it works this time.

Well... progress! I think the gold card is working now, because I'm now getting a different error - Error 140, wrong bootloader. Guess it's back to Googling solutions...

That could indeed be due to the fact you are on a 2.21 ROM and you are trying to flash a 2.12 RUU. The HBOOT versions are probably different.

Well, I ended up using revolutionary.io to S-OFF the phone and install ClockworkMod Recovery, then tried the RUU again for good measure... and guess what?
IT'S WORKING
It's currently 30% through the "Updating system" phase, which is further than it's got before. There's also a progress bar under the HTC logo on the phone's screen, which hasn't appeared before.
I'll check back once it's worked or bricked the phone. Thanks again for your help!

VICTORY!
Thanks again for your help, mate. Now got the Virgin Mobile ROM up and running, and all the Google stuff is there. She's really happy with it!
Feel free to close this thread now guys, nothing more to see here.
Thanks again tpbklake!

Checking For s-on/s-off

How to check, proceedure etc.

pull out the battery and replace turn on and press and hold the volume down key, on the screen that is shown it states
s-off on
or
s-off off
hope that helps you also get bootloader recovery etc on the same screen. Still not had chance to further play with my project i have the o2 firmware file now but can't seem to strip it as yet

I have s-on :-( xtc clip arrived today so will have a play soon. I'm also on o2 aswell. Desperate to get this rooted lol
Screen came up with hboot etc on it. Unknown where to go from there just yet.

what version is the hboot and i will see if it differs from what i have

See listed pic for hboot etc
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using Tapatalk

Mine says the same only s-off, did you have the phone attached while trying to get s-off and what happened when you went through the steps i listed up.

I did it as stated took awhile to restart it though, **** myself incase I bricked it lol.
On the instructions it does say use an SD card....I used a blank one I had spare as I didn't want to use mine. Started it up with the gold card and that's when it took awhile to boot up.m when it did, I restarted it took out SD, inserted mine and checked for s-off or on.
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using Tapatalk

try starting with gold card in and choose clear option, you will lose all apps on the phone, and then the unlock option but i am sure i had to do it a few times to be honest, not had another salsa to redo the process i went through to ensure i can write a solid guide which is perfect for people to follow.

What I'm thinking of doing is following the guide u madeand for the clip.
For the gold card I'm going to back my SD up and wipe it so once the gols card is made cary on using ot and recopy it all back on afterwards. Its a right pain as it wipes everything u made lol.
Can't do it just yet as I got a few days of work and need my phone as is lol. I am interested in finding out in another post how they have. Rooted salsa! Maybe get them to copy up the hboot screen and prove its rooted.

this is my hboot screen took it with my webcam on macbook so not overly clear sorry

I checked mine.

much joy yours can now be rooted etc

[SOLVED]Damaged SD Card

I was running Cyanogenmod 7.1 stable and all of a sudden in the notification bar it says that my SD card is damaged. I put the stock SD card (Sandisk) in an old nokia and was able to format it on windows 7.
However this has not solved the problem and I can't seem to access any SD card on my phone. Tried a Samsung 8GB and a 1GB Nokia one.
If you try to format it says that SD is currently being checked. I would try a different ROM however 4ext can't access any backups/zip files.
confused now
Edit: Should I try to S-ON, however without a SD card it may be difficult

Perhaps try a different rom just to make sure its not a software issue!! If not then there's a fault at hardware level!!

Yeah I have been playing around with it for the last 2 hours and have managed to get the Samsung one to be recognized so maybe it is a broken SanDisk card .

I put the bootloader back onto S-on and the problem is still there even though its not a custom rom. I think i mght try to get it repaired since everything i have tried has failed

Yes get it repaired by HTC since you unrooted anyways

Just to update If anyone looks back at this thread at a later date. I sent my phone to htc repair centre and they gave it back to me 11 days later with a replaced sd card reader. All seems to be working well so its all good.
Must have been a hardware fault.
