Hello there..
Previously i already rooted my phone HTC Desire. But after i change a few ROM's, have some error on progress. but i'm not sure what the actual problems. After that my phone can use BUT i cannot access my SD Card,i cannot use my camera/video,Bluetooth even when i plug my USB Cable,it NOT show DISK DRIVE for me to select. My question is, without access to SD Card and USB Cable, how to change my existing ROM's to another?..
*Hopefully the expert person can help me.

The simplest suggestion would be to remove the SD card from the phone and use a card reader to place a new ROM on it.
If this doesn't work for some reason, you can connect to your computer via Wifi and use ADB to push a new ROM onto the SD card. However, if your phone won't mount the SD card when you plug in the USB cable there is probably something wrong with the way it is communicating with the SD card.
An external card reader is your best bet.
Just to double check - can you access your SD card when you boot the phone in recovery mode?

The problem is, i can't access my SD card from my phone and recovery mode. and also when i plug in USB cable to PC,it just show can charge only. As i know, we ONLY can flash new ROM just from SD Card. is that have another way to do it?

Goldcard creation bricked my Laptop SD

I created a gold card a few days ago to root my MyTouch and all went well. Phone got rooted, had Hero rom installed.. but now I cannot read any other SD card in the system aside from the Goldcard. Any device I plug in that is considered "Drive 1" is unreadable.
Is it now fubar or is there a way to un-do this crap?

could you elaborate more? is this a built in memory card reader? USB Reader? phone plugged in over usb?
have you try to reformat your card ?
I created the gold card with an external USB card reader.
XP cannot read the drive anymore, let alone format it. I have tried with multiple cards, card readers, etc.
I plug in my new Hero via USB and I get the "Please insert a disk" popup.
If I load up the HeX editor used in the gold card creation, it shows the Hero phone as Disk 1, which was the disk I did the Hex editing to.
As stated though, if I plug in any USB card reader and place the gold card inside, it reads that SD card just fine. Any other card says please insert disk. I have tried with 5 different SD cards.
it sounds to me like you need to uninstall drivers and reinstall. are you using windows xp or vista or what?
XP, but it looks like it's any device that ends up becoming "Drive 1" I have tried uninstalling drivers.
What does the HeX program actually do when you paste the goldcard.img values in?
Try booting your machine up with an Ubuntu livecd to see if it can read it
I had a similar issue to this and i solved it by inserting the card you want to format in the Mytouch, Mount the SD card through USB mode on the phone, and if it mounts as a drive through the phone, go ahead and format it there from windows.
Did that fix your other issues? I did the goldcard through an external flash reader, not through the MyTouch.. and as it would be, I do not have the MyTouch anymore, I have a Hero.
If I try and format the card on the hero it says please insert a disk.
The reason this is an issue is I cannot use HTC Sync nor the CoPilot Central software because it cant mount the phones SD card.
i created the goldcard through a reader and not the mytouch. once i realized that it stopped reading my micro sd cards, it tried to get it mounted on the mytouch running a hero rom which it was able to and i formatted it on windows while it was mounted. I think the issue now is that your micro sd adapter might be corrupted from the goldcard creation. do you have a spare micro sd adapter and reader available? try and see if you can see the card from there.
I should be able to mount the SD card from my Hero in windows correct? If so, this is a brand new device, brand new USB cable, brand new SD card plugged into a totally different USB port. Still doesn't work.

USB connection problem.

first my rom and android version are not important coz i had usb connection working before with same build.here is the thing,one day i removed my external sd card from my phone and put it in my brothers k850i to listen some music on se speakers.when i finished i just removed it coz that phone doesn't have safe remove like ours does.when i placed sd card back in my phone i got error msg that i need to reformat my sd card,but i couldn't lose all my data since i was going on trip tomorrow.so i restarted the phone with sd card inside and it worked(everything no error msg).i went to trip and when i came bace i noticed the problem when i connected the phone to my pc(tryed both win 7 and win xp,i have 2 pc's) to copy some photos.i got 'USB device not recognized' error i tried doing recovery in cwm reinstalling drivers even removing sd card didn't help.sd card is working just fine in my phone and also when i place it in bro's phone and connect to pc i can copy files with no prob(tho when i reinstert it while phone is turned on i do get error for re format).only thing that is going on my mind that cable might be broken,but no1 used it while i was on trip so i dont think so.help needed urgent.
it happened with me also. Its all because of ****ing kies installatio. I dont know why it happens but it sometimes happens.
Do like this
1. uninstall kies & everything related to phone from computer.
2. backup ur external sd card data on pc with some card reader. Then format it properly. Then insert in phone. Again format from phone.
3. Restart computer. Install kies properly.
4. Connect phone in kies mode. Let computer install drivers properly.
4. If everything goes well then with card reader again fill up data in sd card. Then insert sd card in phone. Then try in mass storage mode.

HTC Sensation memory card problem

Hi, I am haveing a problem with my memory card. I cant copy anything into the card from my pc. But from phone i can access it and install apss and everything. I tried differnet cards but the result is same. whenever i try to copy something into the card it gives an errror and I have to cancel it. What is the problem? can anyone help?
Btw i am using viper 2.1 rom..
Try a different usb cable, usb port or another pc. Also remove the sd from the phone and try it in a card reader.
When I've had corrupt sd cards then the pc could still access the data in a reader but the phone could not, so it sounds like your pc to phone connection is the issue.
If the above doesn't help them your ROM might be corrupt, reflash to check.
If your using the micro sd card adapter before you insert it in to your pc make sure that it isn't set in the lock position

[Q] Faves Pad - model yx10a03

I have a faves pad 10.1 model yx10a03, and i'm having trouble with storage.
When I go to settings and storage it says I have total space 0.00, even with an 8gb msd card installed. so I'm thinking the tab has lost all its mount points.
I have tried 6 different micro sd cards as well and none of them seem to be recognized, I get a message " preparing sd card then nothing registers.
What do I do? I can get apps to install , but anything that needs more space like google earth etc fails during install.
Some one help...I can't find a firmware update or a custom rom from anywhere.
Iv'e tried factory data reset, no joy. I need a total system reset but not sure how.

When you connect to your computer or using something like Astro can you see or navigate to the "external" memory card drive?
If I connect it without a Micro sd card inserted I get nothing.
But if I connect the pad to my P.C via usb cable with a Micro sd card in it, it registers as external 8gb drive which I can send files to etc.
If I use astro, it sees that the sd card as a mount but nothing inside. Also doesn't show any size or storage available.
I could do with rooting method and put a custom rom on it but can't find anything about it.

Phone/Tablet inits the device but it's OS (drivers?) can't read the format.

PC recognized the mounted initialized device and can R/W to the (fat32?) format.

Astro (AFAIK) ques the device's I/O system for file spec and info. It (again AFAIK) just sends commands through the Tablet's OS. Kinda like running LS might in IRIX or some other unix.

I have no idea and I'm a total n00b but... I wonder if the Tablet uses a proprietary/virtual FS on the SD card instead of the direct embedded card driver?
Is there anything in the instructions about formatting the card? Did you try to format the card in the tablet yet?
So this would be like when I format an SD card on my Mac... It can no longer be read by any other device until it's re-formatted by a non-mac device... But if mounted by said external device acting as a "card-reader" then the connected Mac can perform I/O normally. Only in this case your tablet is like the mac in that situation. Errr, if that made any sense.
Anyway, try to format the card on your tablet and see if that works.

SD card Issues

Hello every one i got this phone doogee dg310 before couples of days.
Everything is fine just one a little problem. When i put my external sd card its working. Than i try to plug phone via usb and transfer file to sd card everything is good but after 3 time connecting to pc and doing file tranfer and when i disconnect from pc i got problem. I am try to open any of files explorer and its get crash. and I am trying restart phone nothing helps. And even when i try put another card is the same. But the strange thing is that when i formating my sd card with computer and put back to phone is working fine and another card working fine until iam using file tranfer with usb 3 times. Phone andorid is kitkat 4.4.2 Maybe you know how to solve it ?
You haven’t mentioned about the storage capacity of your SD card. If your phone can support 32 GB then I suggest you to use 16 GB SD card. Try to connect your SD card with another PC and try again.
My phone spports 32 gb cards and mine card is 4 gb. Maybe its kitkat fault because i read that another people have similar problems with sd card and they are using a kitkat android.
I am trying to use sd card adapter and its the same problem and when this problem apear no sd card working until format, it even show that not sd card are turned on even internal.

I think it's crushed. Use a windows 7 based PC and connect sd card to it . Press format on the pop up menu and also press recover bad sectors . In most cases it will fix your problem . Search on internet for any mem. card repair tool and that might be help you .

Ok thanks I will try. Maybe you can recomend good tool to repair sd ?
unfortunately but its the same bug i am connect to my laptop with windows 7 and format and also scan for bad sectors and trying this with usb and after 4 time transfaring files i got the same problem
