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
OK, to keep things short: Tried flashing a new firmware rom, wouldn't work, kept rebooting (tried multiple times and yes I did wipe and everything). Tried to flash a new recovery rom so I could try flashing the firmware again. It said everything went correctly, except it decided to delete my recovery and not flash the new one. So what I'm left with is no firmware, no recovery, and a bootloader/fastboot that wont allow my usb to be recognized. Anything I can do?

So when turn your phone on, what does the screen show? Is the screen white or does it show the triangle box and phone? If you can get into fastboot you should be able to flash from your SD card if you can get ahold of a properly signed update.zip. Need some more information to help.
If I boot the phone regularly it will keep booting the HTC screen, but yes, I can boot into fastboot but my computer won't recognize the USB.
You probably flashed an overclocked recovery and rom and your phone can't do it. Try clockwork 2501 and then your rom and gapps and a capped 691 kernel. Are you trying to get gingerbread? If you try these steps and it still won't work got to the live help link in the GB thread.

I tried to flash the clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 and the new gingerbread aospCMod. The problem is that I cant get my phone to show up on the computer through the USB so I can't really flash anything or put anything on the sd card.

OK guys, Im not new to the android deal, or flashing, but im stuck here. I have a Sprint Hero, and I need to go back to stock. Problem is, the USB port is broken, and will only charge. So i cant enter ADB, and the phone wont boot past the HTC screen. Its rooted, and i still have root, and clockwork recovery. I cant seem to get any rom to flash though, it just hangs at the HTC screen, and I cant get the HBoot (version 1.47) to read anything. I tried renaming the extracted RUU from the sprint update to HERCIMG and it wont read it. So, anyone have any ideas???
Without usb or an s-off bootloader I think its impossible to go back to stock. Why do you need to?
can u get one of those USB SD card readers? (this way u can put ur SD card into ur computer USB port and transfer files onto it)
search around there is a HERCIMG from the ruu for HBOOT somewhere on here.
i looked real quick and found this, it may help.

Rooting instructions. I know this works on the latest official sprint, because I've done it successfully.
As far as not being able to RUU, some people have an issue running the RUU if they haven't ran HTC Sync. Try that and see if it works, and if not, follow this method.
HERCIMG-2.31.651.7.ZIP download it. it's the Sprint 2.31.651.7 executable but in signed zip format, for people who aren't running windows. Not sure who actually converted the executable to a signed zip, but props to you for helping those that can't run the regular RUU.
Rename the file to HERCIMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.
Power the phone off.
Press and hold your Volume Down button, and while still holding it press the power button to power your phone back up into HBoot mode.
HBoot should then automatically verify the zip file, and ask you if you would like
to flash it. Press your trackball to confirm the update (downgrade in this case),
or press your send button to cancel.
Once on 651.7 you would root as normal, but you should not have to RUU back to 651.7 just to root.

Just a thought, can you download the RUU onto the phone via dropbox or something similar?
Ok. I have an s off bootloader. I can't boot to any rom as it gets stuck at the htc screen. I have tried the above mentioned hercimg file (even though you cant open it, because it says the file is invalid, and I have downloaded it a number of times, so its not a download error) and hboot wont find it even after renaming. I can move files to the sd card via my computer. I have the adapter. I need to get back to something close to stock, so that i can activate the phone. I dont want to get the thread off topic though, just need help getting back there.
Check your computer's USB drivers. If you can charge it you should be able to use USB. Or use someone else's computer. Then running the ruu from HTC website will work just fine. This sounds more like the computers end then the phone. Ymmv.

If you are s off just flash a recovery from h boot. What bootloader version do you have?
Edit: also theres a link to an s off RUU in the links thread I started. Also, you never said why you wanted to unroot?
il, I dont even necessarilly need to unroot. But if people would please read the first post. It would help answer some of the questions.... I CAN FLASH ANY ROM, BUT NOTHING WILL BOOT PAST THE HTC SCREEN. It also says what bootloader version i have, its version 1.47. I have clockwork customer recovery version 2.5 I believe it is. HBOOT wont find any file, period. Including a recovery. And its not a computer issue, its with the USB. Trust me.
I used this when I RUU'd recently and it worked great. jasonmaloney put this up a while ago and this gem was in the middle of the thread. It broke root and I rerooted using Regaw's method this time.
H-boot should have no problem recognizing this.
Drunk, it wont read that either. It doesnt even recognize that there is a HERCIMG on the SD card. This phone is bunk. not even a week ago, it was booting AOSP rom fine, no issues. Then I went to turn it on the other day, and wont boot past the HTC screen. Not sure what the deal is with this POS. About ready to bounce it off the concrete here.

Whoa, calm the F down. My phone isn't the broken one, it's yours. Anyway, I did read the OP, but it was real early, and I missed the 1.47. AFAIK hboot cannot fail IF you build the zip correctly. Pull out the SDcard and put this recovery zip on it, then flash from hboot. Do the device erase thing in fastboot before that. I just flashed it and it went fine. It's CWM 2.5.0.1. You will to rename it to "HERCIMG.zip". Also, were you using any other mods like FR or something? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5669105/HERCIMG2501.zip
il, I have clockwork recovery 2.5. Ill try this though here in a minute and see what happens. This phone is just ticking me off something fierce.
Il, it wont find that either. I put the zip on the root of the SD, and renamed it to HERCIMG and HBOOT still doesnt recognize that there is a HERCIMG file on the SD

just to clarify, you named it HERCIMG.zip all caps and with .zip at the end? If so, maybe your card is bad or your reader in the phone is bad? Do you have another card you can try it on?
yes sir. HERCIMG.zip And its on the card, as when i boot into recovery, I can see the file there.
Man, if you can get into recovery you can fix it. Do a full wipe and flash a stable ROM, reboot, and then walk away from the phone for about 15 minutes.
Try the instructions at http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM
See, thats what I think too, but it wont do anything but boot to the HTC screen. I have tried quiet a few roms, and get the same thing. I just left for roughly 2 hours, came back and still stuck at the HTC boot screen. Im lost brother.
OK, just a quick update. Got it fixed with the help of laei1472. The recovery was botched, that was what was not letting me flash anything. Finally got it to boot one of AOSP's earlier roms (which was the last rom it had booted, before going haywire). Then we were trying to flash RA 1.7 through terminal, but it wouldnt find flash_image. Ended up finding a file to flash it as that version of AOSP was missing the flash_image file in /system/bin. Once we got that, then I was able to flash RA 1.7, and now can flash any rom I want too. What a pain in the butt experience. But happy the phone is back up and going. Thanks again laie1472.
good to hear. glad you got it fixed
Hello,

Go to the H-Boot screen and it should show that if you push the "home" button to get into recovery. Go into recovery and format system, data, cache, and boot. Then, reflash a new rom or restore a nandroid. I don't know what you were doing to get into the situation that you are/were in.
The H-Boot searches for a HERCIMG.zip (Herc is for Hero CDMA), if you are S-on, I am not sure if you can even RUU or not (there is a thread about fastboot though). You might be able to though, but you are ok as long as you can get into recovery. If you can, follow those steps above (those are for using clockwork recovery) and you should be ok if you were only messing around with folders in the system. In fact, you might not need to wipe anything but just flash a new rom. Why not start fresh though?
Good luck! I would suggest getting S-off, it has saved me time and headaches.
thank you but...

Did the ruu load when you did it? It should show you all of the images loading on your phone. There should be a recovery image in it too. What recovery were you using when you this happened?

yes the ruu loaded , i wasn't using a recovery when this happened i simply reset my phone after i loaded a new service programming file on it. I have no idea what you mean by "It should show you all of the images loading on your phone." .
ok just to clarify to all people trying to help , flashing a new ruu dose not work, but i thank you all for the help and hope i can get this fixed.
So keep the advice coming
I am having the exact same issue (I think). Randomly in the middle of the night my phone rebooted. Now it only gets to the HTC boot screen and then reboots again.
I tried booting into recovery, but it just goes back to the HTC screen.
I did not recently flash any new ROMs and have been using the same version of CM7 for awhile now. I was using Clockwork recovery. Nothing I do can get past the HTC screen. I tried all the options suggested. I even placed a new recovery image on the sdcard hoping that would work.
Any more ideas?

Have you tried Booting Without your Sdcard? If that Didnt work, Try Copying Everything from your Sdcard to a Computer, then Delete Everything off your Sdcard! Then One by One Put'em back onto your Sdcard and see if you get Lucky?
Good Luck Bro!
Same happened to mine too.drained battery. Charged it but now only shows HTC screen not going to recovery. No SD doesn't work
guys please help ..
Alright so for the past six hours I have been trying to make up for my mistake. I accidentally tried to flash the color os rom like most others and failed to read. I know stupid, right? Anyway, I cannot access recovery. It just goes to the HTC logo, says I can access bootloader, and I have s-on. However, I have tried to flash a new recovery image and it says okay everything worked and it still does the same thing. So does that mean I am no longer rooted? I just need to figure out a way to get a rom back to my phone, since obviously it erased everything on my sd card. Thanks in advance. Anything will help.
