help plz! Need to access the external storage - HTC Sensation XL

Hi,
I just run to a problem that i dont know how to solve... after a factory reset my phone it wont start. I dont hace any backups on the phone, but i do have backups of the phone in my computer. So do anybody know how to access the "sd card" without booting it up?
I mean... I need to put the backup.rar at my sd card so that i can restore it via recovery... But how to put that .rar file on the sd card without booting the phone?

Do you have the CMW recovery installed or stock?
With the CWM recovery, you can at mount the storage via USB and do it that way.
i suppose if fastboot is working, you could flash the CWM recovery and then mount the USB.

Use an USB adapter and do a back up form your sd to your pc, you can use apps as titanium backup to backup your data/apps or you can do it manually using whatever browser you want that allow you to manage system partition....
To create a swap patition you will need to use gparted, minipartition tools or do it via recovery in order to get a swap partition or simply using swapper app from Google Play and avoiding create partitions and obviusly a kernel that support it (BE, CF-ROOT e.g.)

Never! Root is placed in an internal partitiom so don't worry about it, Are you flash CWM recovery yet? It's fully recomended in order to do/manage backups and flash custom roms and mods

Great! so you can flash CWM 5.0.2.6 fix
It could do a full backup from your currently rom!! With ALL your data/system/cache/boot etc partitions and you could restore it whenever you want!! so it's a amazing tool
The cwm-backup is saved in sdcard and you can save it in you pc e.g.

[Q] Corrupt Data Partition

Hi
I just tried flashing ARHD 20.2 coming from rooted stock 4.1.2 via CWM touch. The rom won't install, halfway through the phone just re-starts. Also whenever I try a factory wipe or data re-format from cwm my phone re-starts immediately. So I have recovery but I can't flash a new ROM.
Have I corrupted my data partition somehow? Is there a way around this? Maybe via a new recovery or kernel? My searches on xda haven't come up with much. Any ideas? Thanks.

HI, thanks for the advice although I don't understand what you want me to do. I guessed you might have meant try going back to stock which I just tried but that didn't work. I do not seem to be able to flash any ROM.
I can enter in and out of CWM recovery but that is it. My phone is formatted and wiped (excepting my suspect data partition???). So I am doing all flashing etc by adb and fastboot.
I tried a TRWP flash over the top of CWM but it only briefly flashes the twrp logo and then restarts the phone, so I have gone back to CWM which at least works.
In my CWM log I see this
I: Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia
I: Can't format unknown volume: /emmc
Any attempt to format data still just restarts the phone.

to add more info to my situation: if I choose the wipe data option in the install of ARHD 20.2 the phone immediately restarts on the commencement of the installation.
If I don't choose the wipe data option the installation seems to fail when it has finished unpacking.

[Q] Backup files in recovery or downlaod mode

Hi , i have a galaxy s gt-i9000m (canadian version of a gt-i9000) that stop working yesterday for no apparent reason (nothing new installed), it always reboot with the S logo. I can enter download or recovery mode. Is there a way to backup all files from phones via a computer. When i connect it to computer it sees 2 removable media disk but they show them as empty. Samsung Kies doesn't connect, tell me to change to usb debugging, but i cant since it dont boot.
i don't really care about phone (already have a new one to replace it), but i must backup files that are on phone, (over 8gb of stuff!)
phone is rooted and on ANDROID 2.3.
What can i try?
You say you can enter into recovery mode so try this if your new phone is an Android, make a nandroid backup of your old phone then put sdcard from your old phone into new phone then install "AppExtractor" free from market, extract files to new phone. not sure if it will work but you could try.

how do i do the nandroid backup in recovery mode?
In recovery mode use the up/down volume keys to scroll options and power button to select options.

[Q] bootloop in cyanogen 10.1

a few days ago i dropped my galaxy s2 in the toilet(dont laugh) so i went to using my brother's old s plus I9001.
long story short,i tried to upgrade the 2.3.3 to a 4.2.2 Jellybean using this guide : http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4579...alaxy-s-plus-i9001-android-4.htm#.VAWoGfmSzGA
i searched a few other guides beforehand,most of which stated that i need a rooted phone,so i rooted it using a guide i found on this forum(here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001)
this is everything i did :
1. Connect the Galaxy S Plus to your computer.
2. Unrar the CM 10.1 firmware RAR file you have downloaded
3. Copy the CM 10.1 firmware you have extracted from the unrar file to the SD card of your phone.
4. Turn off the Galaxy S Plus.
5. Reboot the device into Recovery mode. Press Volume up + Home + Power keys simultaneously. You can flash this ROM using the stock recovery or a custom recovery app.
6. In the Recovery mode, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition."
7. Then select "install zip from SD card" and "choose zip from SD card." Search for the firmware you have copied on the device.
8. Select the firmware file and install it.
9. Go back and select "reboot system now."
so everything went well,until i tried rebooting the device.im stuck now at the cyanogenmod logo.basically i have a boot loop isue.
being a noob at these kind of things,my first thought was that my phone had bircked,so i followed an unbricking tutorialobviously,it didnt work.
can you please help me solve this bootloop s**t? :good::good:

Make sure the Samsung USB Drivers are installed. Also uninstall/disable KIES (if it's installed).
i did that but it didnt work.i found out that the computer only recognizes my phone when it's in download mode,so i can only flash through odin.currently trying to flash cwm,but it beats me.currently trying to return to a stock rom,will post updates
