[Q] Hero does not recognize SD card & ADB does not work.

EDIT: I think that these steps are helpful for someone who has same issues.
(A) I fixed SDcard issue.
1. run into FASTBOOT mode (press VOL-UP + POWER in booting)
2. run the following command from PC: % fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
(B) I could not fix USB brick issue. But I can flash RUU to my cell (no ADB connect, S-ON)
1. make gold card (ref. http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard)
2. put RUU into gold card
3. flash RUU via HBOOT
NOTE:
After these steps, USB may be still bricked. You should better use older RUU for getting root
without ADB commands by AndroRoot or others. (I used newest RUU so that I lost root forever. LOL)

ORIGINAL POST:
My Hero has some problems two days ago. I did many things but it still does not work well. How do I fix these problems? Could anyone give me an advice?
ROM: AOSP 2.3.3 (ver04/21/2011) w/ Firerats 1.5.3 (100 4) + Kifno Universal Scripts 1.5
Recovery: aospCWMod-HC-20110421.img (w/ firerat-recovery
SD card: 8GB(real size:7.45GB) (7.0GB FAT32 + 256ext4 + 128swap)
What happened:
* doesnt recognize SD card not only after booting but also from Recovery mode.
* cant connect with Hero via ADB not only from USB cable and also from wireless(ADB wireless)
(first, I could connect with Hero, but suddenly I couldnt)
* Any other functions on HERO may work well (Call, Network, Wifi are available)
* USB cable still supply power fortunately.
What did I do before this matter happened:
* "Backup Current ROM" via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0
It did not work well although messages (Waiting for SD card to mount (XXsec)) appear. After that my phone does not recognize SD card but ADB was still working.
* After doing "Partition SD card" via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0, typing "parted" on ADB and so on (as follows), ADB was gone.
What I did to solve this problem:
* Reformat and Repartiton SD card (8GB/FAT32, 8GB(FAT32+ext3(256MB)+swap(128MB))
* Change another SD card (4GB/FAT32)
* Try another USB cable
* Partition SD card via Recovery mode
* Partition SD card via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0
* (parted command does not exist on Recovery mode)
* Reinstall Android SDK on PC
Others:
* SD card can be read from Windows 7 after my HERO did not recognizing it. (All of data on FAT32 were copied from SD to other)
* On root in SD card I found some files I have never seen before.
Those names are "qxdm_(DATE)_(TIME)_1.dm"
This files are created after reformat SD card.

I tried a few:
* ext3 partition is changed from ext3 to ext4, but still not recognize.
* Fortunately ADB wireless WORKS.
What causes that my HERO does not recognize SD card on Recovery mode?
(SD slot destroyed? or not?)
Can I reinstall recovery image and reflash ROMs via ADB wireless without using SD card? (If I can, does it make my HERO a brick?)
Any idea?

It sounds like you sorta found a solution. I would say it sounds like you're running too many tweaks. Why are you formatting your sd? Are you using data2ext or a2sd? If you use firerat you shouldn't need that. Also, to use SD in recovery you need to mount sd in the mounts/storage menu. I guess I'm a little unsure of where you're at now.

Thanks, il Duce.
> I would say it sounds like you're running too many tweaks. Why are you formatting your sd? Are you using data2ext or a2sd? If you use firerat you shouldn't need that.
Sure. All you said is right.
I used data2ext or a2sd in other ROMs once before using firerat.
Now I'm using firerat instead of it then I dont use data2ext or a2sd.
I was too lazy to remove ext4 partition.
The reason why formatting my sd card again is that as mounting sd card was not available due to these problems and I thought that its partition might be corrupted and I should fix it due to formatting it. But I had no luck..
> Also, to use SD in recovery you need to mount sd in the mounts/storage menu.I guess I'm a little unsure of where you're at now.
My explanation seemed like obvious. I wrote many unwanted things.
I couldnt mount sd in recovery menu. It said only "Error mounting /sdcard!" (also /sd-ext is same).
Before this problem happened, I was able to mount sd in it and in ROMs.
All I want to do is to use SD card in recover and in ROM again.

I did additional few things. But still I cant mount sd card.
* My hero in fastboot can be recognized from my laptop. "fastboot devices" can work well. But my hero in recovery cannot be recognized. "adb devices" cant get anything.
-> USB cable may be OK.
+ fasboot flash/boot does not work. (I found a posts that said that flash via fastboot doesnt work on Hero CDMA. Right?)
* My hero in hboot can access SD card. "HERCIMG.zip" on root in sd card can be accessed. But my hero in recovery cannot access sd card.
-> SD slot and SD card may be OK.
+ I cant find available HERCIMG.zip for HBOOT 1.47.
Can I flash recovery in terminal on ROM?

I would recommend the following:
1. Remove all partitions from your SD card, reformat it to FAT32
2. Run RUU on your phone, that should overwrite everything - you will need to re-root, but it will remove all the dingleberries from your phone.
Hope this helps.

Oh Dude, why didn't you say this earlier... I assumed that fastboot/HBOOT is not working on your phone.
1. You can absolutely flash recovery or any other images from fastboot, on a hero. Do "fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>"
2. You can also flash recovery from HBOOT... look for the right HERCIMG.zip, place it on the root of the SD card, boot your device by holding down the volume down + power

I find several HERCIMG.zip via some file share services that Google teaches me. I tried one of them (I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-792170.html) and it seems like doing well (as below).
Ohters say "CID incorrect" "Update Fail!" after Checking.
It says:
SD Checking...
<snip>
Loading...[HERCIMG.zip]
(refresh screen)
Checking..[HERCIMG.zip]
(refresh screen)
<VOL UP> FastBoot Mode
<BACK> Simlock
<HOME> Recovery
press <HOME>, go to Recovery, then boot.
But nothing changes. Still I have same issue.
Should I look for another HERCIMG.zip?

I have questions like noobish.
In my thought, these issues (cant mount sdcard in recovery and ROM) may be solved by reflashing ROM image again. Is it right?
Does "flash_image" via terminal on ROMs work well?
(I've not done it from terminal.)
If using firerat, is it necessary to flash FR-recovery over just flashed recovery to avoid rebooting back into recovery?
(I worry that if sdcard were not still mounted in recovery after doing "flash_image recovery" I would have no solution to escape from the bootloop into recovery mode because I cant connect phone in recovery via ADB now.)
Does the following steps seem worth a try?
1. push a recovery image to inner memory (e.g. /data/local/) via ADB wireless
2. open terminal, "su" and "flash_image recovery <above image>"

Doesn't seem like you are S-off or you have Eng-SPL. The first one would have allowed you to use HBoot and the second to run fastboot.
If you were S-Off and had the Eng-SPL, the screen should have read something like this...
HERC XC ENG S-OFF...
Anyways, did you try to run RUU? You should try the one found on the HTC website for the CDMA Hero.

Thanks, all.
Fortunately I seems like fixing these problem.
But it's not known exactly why I fixed these problems.
In view of andythegreenguy's advice, I tried to run RUU on my phone.
But I cant connect my phone via ADB.
Then I reinstall HTC driver for Windows 7 once again. Of course, I already tried it before but still it didnt work well.
Booting into FASTBOOT because I could connect my phone via FASTBOOT, and connecting my phone with USB and trying to replace HTC driver.
But it still said that the driver was already installed.
But after rebooting into recovery mode, my laptop recognized it. And sdcard could be mounted in recovery mode for no special reasons.
After booting sdcard works well in ROMs.
(No qxdm_*.dm files I had seen first after these problems occurred doesnt be created any more)
It seems strange to me that connecting ADB act on the behavior of mounting sdcard. I still worry that the same issues will happen. Does this happen?
Anyway, thank all guys giving advices to me.
ps. I'll try S-OFF and ENG-SPL for avoiding the same issues.

Good to hear that your problems seem to be solved.
BTW, you don't need to have ADB running to run RUU, you just need HTC sync properly installed and have the RUU executable from HTC website.

OMG... I got excited for nothing. I didnt fix it basically. LOL
After that, I tried to flash recovery image.
flash recovery(aosp 4/21) and flash FR-recovery(1.5.3) w/ full wipe and reboot into recovery.
But the same issues occured again. (hero in recovery didnt mount sdcard again laptop didnt connect it via ADB)
It goes worse in point of losing booting ROMs. HBOOT, FASTBOOT work but didnt do S-OFF and ENG-SPL.
I acted stupid. I should have done S-OFF or ENG-SPL before flashing recovery.
I guess that the I have the same chance as the previous post (occasionally ADB works well in recovery). I will do serveral things that I did. (and try on another PC).

Oops. I guessed wrong.
I could connect Hero in FASTBOOT via USB then run "HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe". It seemed to work. But it gave 'Error [131] Incorrect Customer ID'.
I was looking for some articles about Error[131]. They said that driver's name should be "My MTC" not "HTC Bootloader".
But my laptop shows "HTC Bootloader" after re-install HTC Sync 2.0.40 again and updating driver from "Devices and Printers".
Does it cause error?

I am all confused about what your phone is doing... . Anyways, switch off your phone (battery out, if nothing else works) and follow these steps:
1. Backup your SD card
2. Remove all partitions from the SD card and format it to FAT32
3. Install HTC sync on your computer
4. Download the RUU to your computer
5. Switch on your phone
6. Run the RUU from your computer and see what you get (report back)

I did above steps.
1. already done backup
2. Use "Mini Tool Partition Wizard 5" for removing all partition and making FAT32. (and use "Panasonic SD formatter 3.0" for re-formatting sdcard)
3, use HTC Sync 2.0.40
4. RUU is HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe
5. connect usb cable to hero
6. run RUU and turn on hero in accordance with its guidance.
hero is booting up normally and it shows FASTBOOT USB on the top of screen.
then rebooting by RUU and it shows alternative HTC boot screen
it says "Error 131 Customer ID error" and quit.
# I tried it from Windows 7 and Windows Vista. But both are same.
My career is KDDI Mobile. Maybe it borrows sprint network
(ROMs showed that the career was sprint) Is it concerned with Error 131?

The HTC RUU is for Sprint only... hence the error. Do you have a RUU specific to your carrier?

No I dont have it. I have checked that company's page for RUU but I had no clue.
I believed without no doubt thatit would work because KDDI services operates on Sprint networks as a MVNO and usually "Settings" shows "Sprint" as connected carreer.
BTW, I left hero in recovery mode all night.
I found the files "qxdm_*.dm" created on sdcard. What are these files?
These files seem to be created not only in recovery but also FASTBOOT, HBOOT.
Those file size seem to depend on running time after booting. (if the sizes exceed 65535KB, it seem to create a new file.)
I guess that after booting my phone may keep writing these files on sdcard and this may prevent phone from mounting sdcard...

I fixed SDcard issues ( not mounting). And I could flash RUU into phone by Gold Card.
Unfortunately, USB bricked issue are not solved.
But, I wrote up these steps for helping someone having same issues because I found many similar articles.

s-off+cmw 5+ data2sd the noob way for indian htc salsa

mine was s-on with boot loader 1.12.720.3 same as most indian htc salsa
download the file adb fastboot and adbwin from below and unzip to
c:\android
and ph11img.zip from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=723431&d=1316354019
copy the ph11img.zip to ur memory card
boot into ur bootloader holding power and volume down..
let the phone search for the zip file and when it asks to update or not select yes and let it update..
now u have the boot loader supported by htcdev.com
nw remove the ph11img file from ur sdcard
goto bootloader again select fastboot thn connect ur phone to pc
goto http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
select ur device as htc salsa
follow the steps directly from step 7
and if u do it correctly ull have a new tab in the hboot saying unlocked...
but it wld still indicate s-on
don worry u can nw easly have root acess nw
be sure to use the fastboot given by me
now first u need to get cmw recovery 5
follow this post to download recovery.rar
unrar it to android dir in c to get recovery.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=852074&d=1326296914
while ur phone is in fast boot type the command fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
now voila u got cmw5 recovery
to check pop the battery out again goto hboot
select recovery and a new screen will come with the new cmw5
paste root.zip to ur sd card which ull download from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=723432&d=1316354019
now in recovery select install from zip and select root.zip and select yes
now u have root acess
ull c a app called super user in ur phone
nw to increase ur internal size
go into cmw5 recovery goto advance then select to partition ur mrmy card
u must create 2 partitions
1) fat32
2)ext3
the size depends on your requirements
once dis is done
go to cwm recovery again, wipe data, cache and dakvik cache. Reboot.
Install busybox, and choose the version v1.17.1

i have composed this using various authors...
say thnx if helps...if any prblm cms do ask...

nice tutor, mate. you make it simple. well, im thinking about getting our salsa support ext4. it must be something cool..

thanks...
ya ext4 would be really good and stable...
ext 2 keeps giving me crash report for certain processes..
eagrly waitng for ext4..

How does it matter? I have ext2 and i receive 'Force close' error quiet often. Will ext4 work better?

ext2 is slow.....ext3 is better and more stable and you tend to not get force close, ext4 is the ultimate!

i cant get the ph11img.zip to get flashed
while i enter the hboot it finds it but dosnt ask me to flash it.. i belive it dosnt recognise it as a valid file . what am i doing wrong.
my salsa is hboot 1.07.0000 indian version

thats because with version 1.07 you need to go directly to htcdev for the update...it will update that way easier.....

Good tutorial.
Unlocked my salsa..
Increased internal memory but gives Force close on ext-2 and not much stable.
May be problem of my 8GB class 4 SD card.
Will try again when my 32GB class 10 SD card comes.....

I too have class 4 sd card, 8 gb.and everything is fine on my phone.make sure u have followed all steps correctly.

be very careful, safe usage is 1.5gb on any card.

hi sorry if im asking a stupid question but im new to this, I followed your instructions and at the end i still see 120mb for internal storage. my sd card is 16gb and now shows 10gb. is the increased internal memory suposed to show or not? also when installing the busybox it said "instalation aborted" at then end, is it doing what its supoed to? if im doing something wrong could you please tell me how to increase the internal space I would greatly appreciate it. thanks for your great work

plz list up the following so we can help more
1-which rom are you using?
2-what ext partition have you setup

4-how did you make the ext partition

Hi BigBearEvo Thanks for your reply I managed to get it working but i made a terrible mistake of formating the system, data and cache. Now when i turn on the phone all i see is the bootloader and it will not go past that coz i think i have formated the internal memory( if formating the above does that). I desperatly need a solution, the problem is that forgot to do a backup from cwm, i looked for an official rom but didnt find anything so i tryed flashing a custom rom (chinese rom, as it was the only one i could find) but it keeps saying error. Please if you know a solution to this tell me about it, atm my phone is useless. Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated.
Btw I am from Australia Im not sure what rom i was using before, I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev which meant i hadto download the RUU for Australia and update it. It was running stock rom. Sorry I am not very good at this stuff. When I turn on the phone this is all the information i can see:

Do u have recovery installed...if not...then we need to get it installed and get you flashing a new rom again.
Best option is.....somewhere in here is recovery 5.0.2.6 with instructions to flash via adb cmds.
Do this according to post, trust it will work!
Once that's installed go get either iconic or sense 3.5. Flash either of these and presto .....working phone again.
Takes a few mins to flash recovery and upto ten minutes for a custom rom.

I had the same problem so I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev and continued from intalling the cwm recovery step, it worked for me, try it.

Hay, I used the script data2sd-ext3 and that made my phone slow like a dead unit. However, i guess it is because my SD card is not a high speed card.
So i reinstalled everything without the data2sd script and it works well now.
I have a question thoug. I am using link2SD now, and most of the application are on SD card and still the phone speed is accetable. Not like data2sd(dead slow).
Question: When i use link2sd and move softwares to SD card. Will it move the application to ext partition or fat partition. I am asking this because it seems like my fat partition has a folder for each application I installed. and the space on fat is decreasing.
any ideas?

From what I gather it uses both and it doesn't truley move them. It still shows as using internal memory but holds alot on.SD. I.stopped using it the minute I got access to ext3 script.

[Q] In a bit of a Predicament, Need help! - SD card isnt mounted and in a bootloop

I've rooted and installed a new ROM for my friends HTC sensation XL called Total Sensless. Upon installation i forgot to edit the vold.fstab file in order for my sd card and internal storage to be able to be read. However I'm also stuck in a bootloop. i cant access the sd card from recovery to flash the same Rom with the edited vold.fstab and i cant seem to push a ROM via adb onto my phone as the internal and sd card memory isn't recognised. Any help would be save me paying from breaking my friends phone, i really need help.
Thanks heaps

First of all, make sure you read things before doing things, secondly, you should have S-OFF'ed the phone, most probably that is the reason why you are in a bootloop, so the best thing for you would be to find the device CID, and if you find a RUU to match your CID, then you are lucky and can start all this thing from scratch.
Or, you could use any of the tools Multi-Tool, AIO, whatever, and install another custom Recovery, and mount USB from there, see what happens.

I gave the RUU a try and tried flashing one that seemed to match but it kept showing an error saying "unable to update your android phone please get the right ROM Update Utility :/
I'll try installing a new recovery and let you know how it goes
Thanks a heap man
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

And it worked i flashed TWRP using AIO tool and then mounted the USB storage and then reinstalled the origianl ICS Rom back on.
Thanks a tonne, wouldve had to pay for a replacment, means a lot :good:

[Q] Can't mass storage after rooting/bootloader

Hey guys. I've been stuck for hours now trying to install Android Revolution HD Rom.
So here is what I've done.
- Unlock Bootloader (HTCDEV)
- S-OFF (revone)
- Super CID
- Installed CWM
I think I installed firmware as well. (not sure what it was, friend told me to install it).
now when I tried to copy ROM file to phone. Can't copy.
CWM can't mount SD card.
Can't use camera and when I try to access gallery it says PLEASE INSERT AN SD CARD
Storage setting - USB storage unavailable. Can't click Mount USB Storage. Phone storage - unavailable.
I have tried searching MTP driver. I don't know what to do from here...
and now when I tried to do adb shell. It says error: device not found.
Also my phone now has WIFI error. Doesn't turn on at all.
All I want is to be able to copy files to phone storage and flash new ROM. Hopefully this will fix all the problems I have.
Please help..

Hey guys. I've been stuck for hours now trying to install Android Revolution HD Rom.
So here is what I've done.
- Unlock Bootloader (HTCDEV)
- S-OFF (revone)
- Super CID
- Installed CWM
I think I installed firmware as well. (not sure what it was, friend told me to install it).
now when I tried to copy ROM file to phone. Can't copy.
CWM can't mount SD card.
Can't use camera and when I try to access gallery it says PLEASE INSERT AN SD CARD
Storage setting - USB storage unavailable. Can't click Mount USB Storage. Phone storage - unavailable.
I have tried searching MTP driver. I don't know what to do from here...
and now when I tried to do adb shell. It says error: device not found.
Also my phone now has WIFI error. Doesn't turn on at all.
All I want is to be able to copy files to phone storage and flash new ROM. Hopefully this will fix all the problems I have.
Please help..
Thanks a lot

I'm thinking possibly the firmware version is for 4.2.2, but your ROM is 4.1.2, hence the problems. Anyone else with more knowledge can confirm this?

with jellybean you dont have mass storage your options are adb sideload a rom to your phone or get a otg cable and load one that way

No it shouldn't as it could format the SD card by it self. Unplug from computer and format in recovery and also. There's a sneak peak for a upcomming ROM for sxl

i found the solution. if you did a backup it will work. in cwmr you navigate: backup and restore and confirm,than navigate to advanced restore and confirm. you will get a backup file,confirm on that file,now navigate to restore sd-ext and confirm and wait.after done,reboot. now works with no problems. i had same problem,i downloaded 5 roms for htc from this site(developers) and all have same annoying thing with external card. if i restore my whole system always work.so problem are those roms,something is not made it properly sigh.
