Why no htc sync?
There's a fastboot RUU zip here.

maybe im wrong but thought you had to be running a stock or sense base rom for htc sync to recognize the phone being that my phone wont load or restore i cant flash or nand back to a sense base or even stock
starting to think maybe my sd card fried cant get it to transfer files from my pc or to my pc it stalls out trying to format it but thats not working well either keep gettin windows cannot complete the format error or a sd card is locked message.... in other words having hell thinking about smashing it and filing on insurance.......

Did you see my help LINKS thread lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.

If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Well, I'm no sdcard expert, but I remember jasonmaloney posting some sort of sdcard help/fix ideas recently. Maybe try to read thru some of his posts or send him a PM? Or give in and get a new sd

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.

Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.

ive alway used my old mt3gs 4gig sd card.

DREAIMG.nbh does not load...

I am unable to root my G1 at all. I can not get it to load any of the "root" files. It is a PVT board. Everytime I go to load the DREAIMG.nbh, it just does nothing.
Anyone got suggestions? I need to be able to flash the custom roms. It is a T-Mobile model. I have tried multiple SD cards already. I am getting a bit annoyed.
I do a lot of stuff with the Tilt and Android personally. This is seriously baffling me.
Thanks for any help.
try redownloading the img
are the sdcards class 6?
are u getting into bootloader mode correctly (camera + power)
what are you currently running?
more details
Try to use the guide in my sig. Its much quicker
As said above, more details are needed.
Try redownloading the file, and copying it over to the SD card again. If you are using the USB cable that came with the Dream, be aware that every one I've seen does NOT have a ferrite bead on it. This causes problems and can corrupt the file.
If you know how, md5sum the file on your PC and after copying it.
Does any error come up in the bootloader when you try flashing it?
K, I am using a DREA100
I did not use a usb cable (used a sd card reader)
I get "image not found" or something to that nature in the boot loader then it goes to strips.
I have dealt with HTC for a LONG time...I have been doing it since the Apache. I never could get this to work.
Yes I am using Class 6 cards. I do IT development and I need the speed.
I will try the suggested guide.
Thanks for all the help. I didn't realize there was an easier route. Also I was actually going to message you david, but I didn't want to feel like a complete noob haha.Thanks again.

You might want to also check the spelling. It sounds silly, but you'd be surprised, I've done it myself.

I even tried the kit thing, but in the end, nothing beats an easy APK. As I said, I do a lot of work with the kaiser. This was not NEW to me, but the G1 is not known territory for me.

Help Stuck at G1 loading screen have no idea were to go now

Ok I had the latest 1.61 update (I think that was the version), followed the instructions at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Rooting
To the letter however now I am thinking that I have a rogers dream.
I downgraded to rc 29 and followed the directions flashing with CyanogenMod 4.2.12.2
When booting I get stuck at the g1 boot screen, going into bootloader mode looks different than before instead of the colors I get three android icons at the bottom on a skateboard and in a yellow line says serial IO.
I'm kinda lost at this point can anyone help? I pray I didn't brick my phone.
I'm pretty new to Android, recently switched from WM. Be gentle...
can u go into recovery mode? home + phone button
p.s. mind you that this isnt the proper place to be posting "problems"
wrong section, sorry
i will request it be moved to the correct section where you are more likely to get a useful reply
oops, sorry about the section...I know better than that =( I can access recovery mode. Problem is that sd card is no longer recognized by computer =( Was hoping there was something stupid and small I missed but looks like I'll need to get a new sd card and re-flash update to original.
Are you able to go to recovery console if yes go to recovery console and flash the rom again.
sounds like u killed ur sd card :-x and your sd card is exactly what was allowing the rom to boot... it was a hero rom wasnt it lol
nevermind i reread your post...doesnt sound like a cyan caused problem....but cyanogen requires you to flash something before u flash his newer stuff...you should pay attention to BaconMod's stuff
Did you flash the 1.6OTA update from HTC that is required first?
Well Looks like I killed the sd card somehow. I put the sd card into my camera and back into my phone and works fine now...go figure.

[Q] N1 wont read sd card some one please help

Hello everyone, i just got the nexus one just to mess around with, its already rooted but no rom installed. My problem is that when I put my SD card in the phone and boot up the phone I get the message "SD card blank or has unsupported file system". I know theres threads on the topic but they seem not to work, I've also reformatted thesd card and nothing. Its a 32gb
Not sure of the brand, ill look and post it.
Try using a program like sdformatter and did you format to FAT32?
Try a different sd card to see if maybe it's the card itself that's bad
Yeah I tried sdformatter, yeah I tried formatting to Fat32, no the SD isn't bad,the computer recognizes it. Idk what's wrong
with sdformatter did you use full erase and size adjustment ON
i am not sure but a card may be able to be recognized and still can't be formatted or may be bad--again, not sure
Yeah I tried full erase but not with size adjustment on though, ill give it a try though. I know the SD card isnt bad because after trying to have the nexus read it, and I get the blank SD card error, I plug it into my computer and it will automatically ask me if I want to format the SD card because its corrupt, after I select yes the computer reads it just fine. I think it just might be the phone itself, I've tried countless solutions people have posted in other threads, and the phone is what, about 2 years old, it just might be slowly dying
understand--good luck

Does N1 support 32 gb cards?
The N1 does support 32gb SD cards, I've gotten lucky and it read it, but after booting the phone up again I got the same message in the status bar, I think the problem might be with the rom on phone I don't know what rom its running but it looks like its a completely stock rom, or it could be the way the way the person rooted the phone, and I don't have a clue on how to unroot the phone. Yes I know its rooted I'm able to get superuser permissions.
you didn't say, unless i missed it, did you try another card
if so, and it is rooted can you tell what recovery is on phone clockwork or amonra
Sorry about that, yeah I tried and still am trying a 4gb SD card, I didn't root the phone, but when I got the memory card to work I flashed clockworkmod, I was going to reboot into recovey but when I pressed powered button I could only power off the phone, so I did and was going to boot into recovery through hboot, but when I selected recovery it just showed the picture of the android with the black background, so I rebooted the phone and kept on getting the error message, idk what I did to get the phone to read the SD card, I guess just luck.
Do you have the android sdk installed on pc do fastboot flash amonra 2.2.1 or maybe clockwork has that option. If it it the first time you may need to delete a couple files to have amonra stick. Clockwork 3+ did have some issues for some. Or you can check wiki and flash the correct passimg and go back to stock and start over. If you have means back up what you can. Not sure of your problem--sorry
Well it looks like the N1 is done, it won't even boot any more, looks like I'll be phone less for a while...the problem wasn't because it was rooted, I got it unrooted back on 2.2.1 then it updated to 2.3.? And it still had the sd card problem, I guess it was a sign that the phone was dying...r.i.p. n1 lol
Thank you ruggmankc for trying to help save my n1
sorry to hear that--
bright side is great phones are coming out this year and N1's can be bought at good prices if interested

[Q] Wondering if im screwed or not

OK so heres my story of what happened to my Captivate. I plan on getting an SIII sometime in the next couple of weeks, but it would be nice to get my Captivate up and running again in case I need it sometime in the future.
So I was running CM9 on my phone, not sure which build, not sure if it matters. Phone was still in my pocket when I went swimming. Left it in a bag of rice, and it booted up. I got the message that said Encryption failed...reset phone or whatever. I figured it would just format it and didnt know that it would lead to more problems. So based on what I have read on the site, now my internal SD is fried im assuming. Now I tried following some guides for using an external SD card but I couldnt get it to partition from ClockworkMod, and I couldnt get into download mode for a few days because something probably got messed up internally from water damage. I managed to get into download mode today and tried running an Odin One-Click to see if it would help at all. Now my phone brings up the AT&T World Phone screen, then shuts off as soon as the screen normally transitions into the next step of the boot process.
So thats my story. I just want to know if anyone knows if this is still a problem with the SD card or if my phone is completely beyond repair. Thanks a lot to anyone that tries to help
You got hit by the EU (encryption unsuccessful) bug. From what I hear not a whole lot you can do now except try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
There are a couple other threads in the dev section about this as well.

Ya that was the guide I tried but my external SD card wont partition, at least not through clockworkmod. When i press the button to partition, the partition process is instant, and i know it just has to skip it because there is no way it would partition that fast.
You could always pay to have jtag performed. It will overwrite all the screwed up stuff and fix the problem.

I think with the EU bug its just trashed. JTAG won't even fix it. There are a few stories of them coming back to life on their own, but no promises.
Hi we offer a work around re-map to have the partitions run on you external sdcard. Pm me if you need any help with this.
