i was using gingerdx and suddently it happened that!! after trying everything i knew i put sd card on pc copied fde +4 and with the same sd card that my phone does not recognise i flashed that rom but still my phone does not recognise it but xrecovery does!!
That is strange. Can you go to Setting the Storage Setting and try manually mounting the SDcard? If the problem still exist please go back to the stock ROM and see if the sdcard still wont recognize

well when i unmount my sd card it says sd card removed but when plug it back in it does not say anything!! is there a setting on xrecovery that i should do before going back to stock rom?
Hmmm well as far as my knowledge is concern no. Nwei why you still use xrecovery? Flashing latest rom with xrecovery will surely gives you an error use clockwordmod recovery instead. Maybe thats what causes your problem, Im not certain.

HI guys!
I want to flash cm7 to my new p990 but for some reason the SD card I used in my old phone wont mount. "Alright no problem, ill just use the INTERNAL sd card." Probably not the best idea.
Phone is rooted, installed rom manager and flashed CWM 5.0.2.0.
I tried to back up my stock image to the SD card but CWM wont mount the SD card, and I cant choose internal. I managed to do a nandroid back in CWM, but I had to choose where to put it in ROM MANAGER. All went well. Flashed CM to the phone. Now im on CM and got a hold of ROM MANAGER again and I want to flash the stock rom back.
The thing is, this time rom manager doesn't recognize my internal SD card either, and neither will CWM. Any way to flash the new CWM 5.0.2.3 through CWM?
CWM 5.0.2.3 supposedly fixes my issue but I have a feeling i cant do it that way.
Any help would be appreciated

You don't need anything fancy to install 5.0.2.3 (which I suppose you meant to write.) Just download the latest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745 and choose which version you want to install, external or internal, which in your case seems to be internal.
That should put you right where you want to restore the backup from your internal card.
EDIT: Oh, and remember to turn the phone completely off instead of just rebooting, to get your sdcard mounted again (could be that's all you need to do.)
EDIT2: I've never used ROM Manager to backup, but if it gives you the opportunity to put backups somewhere else than the root of the card (your post seems to imply this), use a file manager to move the backup to the root of the card before rebooting into CWM.
Thats what I want to do. But I need a way of installing it. CWM cant flash over itself, cant it? And I cant get rom manager to do it either.
EDIT: LOL, im a RETARD!!
All the files I need to flash it through ADB are all there in the download...
Thx again man!!

You don't have access to a computer? You need a computer to install another version of CWM. (Well, there are other ways, but it's much easier from a PC.)

5.0.2.0 is compatible with 5.0.2.3 right?
After restoring it wont boot. Restoring again now.

You may have to convert your partitions back to ext3 before restoring with this CWM-installable script http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=720818&d=1316120010. (CWM 5.0.2.3 should in theory do it for you, but I've never gotten it to work.). Mount your sdcard from within CWM, copy it from PC to card, then install it.
No, the sd-ext message does not matter.
Does this format my entire phone with backups and all or does it just convert it?
Did my filesystem go over to ext4 when i installed CM7?

It formats the /system, /data and /cache partitions, but doesn't touch your sd-cards, so your backup is safe.
Yes, the latest versions of CM7 use ext4 for /system

It depends on what I'm doing. Right now I'm on MCR GR3. I frequently flash back to stock 2.2.2 to check if the app I'm currently making works as expected, and sometimes I flash CM7 to test some specific features there.
If you're asking what I'd recommend I'd say go with MCR GR3 when the prebake comes out, or Topogigi 1.8 which will be based on said prebake.
Hmmm. okay, thanks
I kinda like the stock rom but I would like the overclocking and possibly undervolting that aditional roms have. The battery time I had on cm7 was SICK. I fear I wont get that on the stock rom. Im having a try at topogigi v1.7, but I having some problems. Like, can I use ur baseband switcher app to change the baseband I have, and is it necessary? tried flashing it without flashing new baseband (cuz I dont know how ) and then it just bootlooped.
Ill check out MCR GR3

Slight misunderstanding here, it's not a baseband-switcher, for that you need to go through the whole smartflash-dance again. It allows you to install a different ril, that's all.

Topogigi 1.7 works fine without a new baseband, but not all phones can boot with the undervolt of the default kernel. (He has an optional kernel with stock voltages available which probably will fix the bootloop for you.)
Ill check out MCR GR3

The prebaked version isn't ready yet, but will likely be very soon. I expect Topogigi to release 1.8 not long after that.
have same issue. thanks for ideas.

The error message and related problem is written right there in front of your nose:
The ZIP file on your SD card does not seem to be ok. Bad download or corrupted while copying onto the SD.
EDIT: If you want to make sure that a large file got copied correctly to the SD (assuming the file you downloaded is ok):
1. Get HashTool
2. Start HashTool, make sure at least "MD5" is checked and drop the ZIP onto the program window.
3. Save the MD5 hash as a .txt file
4. Mount the phone in USB storage mode
5. Copy the ZIP
6. Drop the ZIP you copied onto the SD onto Hashtool and make sure the MD5 matches.
If the MD5 does not match, then the file on the SD is damaged. Turn off the phone, take out the SD and put it into a card reader. Delete the ZIP, copy anew, recheck the MD5. If it's ok now give it a try ... and research a possible problem with the Android drivers on your computer later on.
If it should turn out that the file is also damaged on your computer ... either the download broke (pay close attention to make sure the file came in completely) or you have a funny problem with your hard drive or file system integrity.

Correct - try another ROM or re-flash GingerXperia.
See the edit in my post above about how to make sure that the ZIP got copied correctly.

Repair it using PCC and start all over again, but this time use super1click for rooting your phone and x8toolbox for install CWM and xRecovery
Or try to pull out battery for couple minutes and see if problem still persist, than start your phone without sdcard inside, maybe you sdcard causing it
so far ok ...but it restarted bout 10 mins ago...i scare it happen again..i really hope not, the last time i serviced my phone is caused the sd card problem
I'm going slightly mad....
I've tried all possibilities, but with no use.
Everything went bad, when i unlocked bootloader, and (tried) flashed nAa kernel to use new rom's for my X8. SEMC unlocked bootloader, rooted phone, everything went fine, but... First my phone was stuck on nAa kernel screen after flashing (it said succesfully) nAa kernel and latest cm rom based on nAa kernel. Since than, i tried 10 different nAa based rom's, flashed alfs kernel succesfully and alfs based rom's, stock kernel and stock rom, and than old rom's which worked flawlessly (on stock kernel), relocked bootloader, booted without sd card, everything. But only combo which works is flashed stock kernel and stock rom 2.1.1. Why? What has been gone wrong that now even old rom's based on stock kernel aren't working? Problem with every rom and kernel combo now is that after s.e. (or if i use custom kernel - their logo), goes custom rom logo and than mobile reboots itself and goes all over again - s.e. logo, custom rom logo, and reboot. Left mobile for hours - same thing. Only when i install stock kernel and stock rom (together in one .ftf file), everything works fine. Now phone is with relocked bootloader, rooted, and on stock rom, with everything working correct. But wont let me flash any custom rom, and i don't wanna use phone like this, because nothing is like i'm used to be (i used mostly gingerdx or gingerxperia rom's).
Please help!!

Which kerenl do you use? Try to format your sd card it might help( before you do a backup of it )
what's your kernel? if it's alfs you have to install an aditional zip file that is on alfs kernel first page : update-rom-chargemon+vold-AlfsKernel.zip

Did you partition your sd card? Try to reformat it, not just quick reformat, its better if you can reformat it in your phone, but if you cannot reformat it on your phone try to use HDD low level formatter. If all things fail, its either on Custom ROM or your SD card.
hey man i've got the same problem.........i reverted back to stock from froyobread and i partitioned it for link2sd.......and then it wasnt mounting............i also tried reformating but it did not help....

can you access recovery??
Try restoring ya phone via. PC Companion. There's a thread in XDA..
If you can access CWM, just flash another ROM.
cwm can be accessed even if system is formatted... enter cwm.. if you dont have a rom in sd card then mount usb storage then copy a rom in sdcard. and then install the rom

If you read his post, you will know that he's on stock kernel. Recoveries for stock kernel are stored in /system. He wiped it => he doesn't have recovery.

Even with stock kernel? Because if I'm not mistaken on stock kernel the recovery comes with ROM while in custom kernel the recovery comes from the kernel itself.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

No if his phone has locked BL. The best way is to flash the phone with PCC or to flash 2.1 firmware with flashtool.
Hi! Recently I followed the guide on this forum on how to root, recovery and set a custom rom. I tried CM10 but i am not satisfied .I would like to revert back to the stock sony firmware. I tried flashmode with flashtool and tried to flash the stock 7.0.A.3.195 for the xperia T firmware. But it would abort when it tries to flash it. Another thing: I cant place anything on my internal sd card when connecting the phone to the pc. Sony pc companion won't pick up the device either while windows shows that the device is connected.
Using xperia T with CM10.
Need some help!

Backup sd cards, and format them
As for flashing try again, that should work no matter what. Can you provide a screenshot of what flashtool says when it fails

There is an option on stock rom to delete everything. On cm roms i think there is an option to format.
Both are found in
settings/storage
Try that, also redownload the ftf package. Also, is there any chance you can translate to english the red errors?

Hmm, it may be related to the read/write error on internal card.
Try it after you have deleted/formatted internal memory.
What you can also try is to flash my kernel in fastboot, then my rom in CMW then try flashtool again
