Here is a link to the most frequently used recovery. Amon_ra 1.6.2. Make sure you download the correct file for your phone. H or G. Just power down your phone, hold volume down and the power button until your phone boots into the HBoot screen. You will see something like 'PVT 32B ships on-G'. Depending on if it says H or G, use the corresponding file. Just follow the easy instructions in the thread. There are several ways to flash the new recovery. Personally, I use adb, takes about 30 seconds.

Good luck!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lechy:
Hi, I've had lot's of problems with my HTC recently, no adb access etc, device not being recognised and recovery playing up, ie not being able to wipe install roms etc... however I fixed the recovery issue and managed to do a nandroid backup, I put on I think it was 1.5 HTC sense hero rom... and recently realised that i can only flash 1.5 roms, not 2.1 anymore? would any developer know what would of caused this problem? Any 2.1 rom just locks on the Hero logo, and I've left it for over an hour in some cases and nothing happens. Again, I used to be able to put on any custom rom.... I'm all out of ideas.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trasig:
wipe

did you wipe? what recovery image you using etc etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
1. post in the correct section.

2. remove the ext4 partition from your sdcard, or change it to ext2 or ext3.

3. get adb logcat, otherwise this is like the question "my car won't run, can anybody tell me why?"
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lechy:
I have wiped numerous times... sorry for the "my car won't run type question etc...." just that I've done my research, gooogled, posted detailed info previously on here and another forum, I even fixed my own problem of the recovery image, without fixing that I would have nothing. But anyway the card is partitioned with swap, ext2, fat32 using the latest Amon_Ra image 1.6? something... i've spent weeks trying to resolve this and learnt a lot along the way.

Obviously not where to find the adb logcat... don't worry I'll google it.

Apologies for posting in the wrong forum, if it can be moved could a mod do so?

i had this problem with my magic,Using the goldcard method to downgrade and starting from scratch will fix this
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lechy:
Thanks for your reply, I will approach this method again at some point and give it a try, but I think I read somewhere that I couldn't do it for whatever reason, but I'll look into it again seeing as you've had the same issues. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lechy:
Actually I believe I didnt attempt this because I was no longer able to get my HTC hero working with ADB, as soon as I plug the device in, it comes up as device unrecognised, so I think goldcard method it out.. :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
on the risk of offending you again (even though i am trying to help here...): you did not provide really much valid info. for most things you just said "doesn't work". what happens if you start by pushing home+power? saying the recovery doesn't boot up tells what does NOT happen, for a diagnosis we need the info what DOES happen.

anyway, if i get you right your recovery is now working. now repartition your sdcard (ext2 and fat, NO swap), do a full wipe, then install the rom you desire to use, then move the log to sdcard ("other" in recovery). reboot your phone and execute "adb logcat > c:\logcat.txt" on your pc. if it doesn't boot up after five minutes stop logcat with ctrl-c and post the two logfiles (recovery.log and logcat.txt). you need to set up adb, if you have problems with that sort them out, there is no way to get any information about your problem without the log.

oh, and about the goldcard: i don't know too much about goldcard'ing, but i can't see how this should help here. my strongest guess is that the swap partition interferes with the boot process...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lechy:
No worries no offence taken. Pushing Home+Power works and takes me to recovery. Back+Power takes me to bootloader and USB Bootloader device is recognised, so I am able to get Fastboot.

Just recently installed stock rom, to see if that solved the USB and ROM issues but no such luck, re-rooted, put anom latest recovery back on, and went on to do what you have advised to help.. i've attached only the recovery.log in zip format only, as when doing adb logcat command use mentioned(after installing new rom), all I get is "waiting for devices" whilst the phone is stuck on the Hero logo, I waited about 10 minutes, exited from the adb, and the log file was empty as I guessed. I've tried every possible way that I found on the web to try and get the ADB function working again and I realise this is important to get some info.. but I've ran out of ideas for that.

Maybe the recovery(attached) may show something, all I noticed is that the cache and something else was not wiped for some reason? If you or someone has time, have a look through maybe someone knows what is going on.

Thanks for your help and patience :)

You can still type your contact's name directly from the homescreen, and then select "sms" by rolling the trackball left-right.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgoo99:
Twice in the last two months my 16 GB Class 6 AData microSDHC memory card has popped up as being "corrupt" and needed reformatting after powering back up from reboot on my Nexus One.

The first time happened on CM 5.0.3.1, the second time was with CM 5.0.4.1 with the UV kernel. Both times, data could not be read either through the N1, my old G1, or my friend's Droid. Thus a reformat was required and data loss ensued.

Anyone else experiencing occasional data corruption on their SD card? Another friend had it happen to his G1 with an 8 GB microSDHC memory card recently, running the latest CM for the G1, also on reboot and battery swap.

Is there a common thread here? Could it be HTC hardware-related? CM software-related? Just coincidentally two bad memory cards? Me using chinese replacement batteries when swapping out? The UV kernel? Not trying to point fingers or throw stones, just trying to get to the bottom of this...just lost some great pics of a recent vacation I just got back from. Suggestions or hints are welcome!

TIA!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
this has happened to me a few times but I was still able to get my data through amon-ra recovery. I think it have something to do with an improper dismount of the card.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psylink:
I actually had this happen when my n1 was still stock (16gb class6 card)

I put the sd card in a card reader on my pc, everything was intact so I backed it up, reformatted and still had the n1 report it was corrupt. I ended up having to shut down, remove card, boot up w/o a sd card in, then with the sd card back in I never had the problem again

I know I did a full format the very first time, that 2nd time I had done a quick format. I've done a format recently also via amonra for ext partition and still no problems.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] net.cat:

i'm running a 16 GD Class 6 AData memcard in my N1, my friend is running an 8 GB class 6 SanDisk memcard in his G1. Neither of us is running Apps2SD or anything weird.

glad to see i'm not the only one with this issue. was gonna buy a new 16 GB card but saw an article yesterday that sandisk is coming out with a 32 GB class 6 sdhc card in a month so i'll just wait for that one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd78:
Same here

Same thing has happened three times on my Sandisk 16gb. I am running stock everything on nexus..nothing funky app wise.

After the first time it happened I replaced the sd card. It still happens. I have never been able to fix the card other than reformating. Chkdsk /f on win7 gets to 98% then throws an i/o error.

There is something majorly wrong. It seems that it happens in all android phones from time to time not just the nexus one. The consensus online seems to be that it is a mount/dismount issue that corrupts the card. I never mounted or dismounted the card at all with PC and it still happens so not sure what else it could be.

Do you think it is a phone hardware issue that would resolve with a new handset?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peadarog:
Has this ever happened to anybody using the standard 4GB card?

Where did you purchase your micro SD cards? There are a lot of fake/faulty cards being sold. I bought a fake one (unknowingly, obviously) and it kept getting corrupted until I tested it properly using h2testw.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeyfacedboy:
I have had this problem a couple of times too, the latest being this morning :mad:

I have a stock N1 with a 16GB Sandisk card. The first time this happened, i went to use the camera and it said insert SD card, even though there was one there, I rebooted the phone and then got the Damaged SD card message.

This morning I was on the train, had been using the phone to read the news earlier with no problems, I got it out of my pocket and screen was black. and the phone completely unresponsive. Removed and replaced battery, booted up and got the Damaged sd card message again.

Both times I have been able to recover most of my files by putting the card in a PC, the first time I found that a couple of my photos were corrupted and unrecoverable, indicating that possibly it was the camera app that may have caused the issue the first time.

This time though, I found that some of my music tracks were corrupted along with one of my videos, and also a directory on the SD called LOST.DIR. Everything else was fine.

Not sure why only these files were affected, as I was not listening to music or watching any videos, so I dont see why the nexus one should have been accessing those parts of the card when it corrupted.

I could not delete the corrupted files, even on my PC, accessing them causes the PC to lock up. The only way to get card working again seems to be a format.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro-mann:
If only the format would work!

I'm with you all:

2 times on my Motorola Milestone, using a 16GB class 4 "unbranded" card

3 times on my Nexus, using that same 16GB class 4 card.

2 times on my Nexus, with a 16GB class 6 SanDisk card.

Most times, the data has been available by mounting the card into a PC or Mac directly, though my Mac has seen the card as "read-only" in these cases.

I seem to have this problem after mounting the card onto my work PC, though I don't often do that. I mostly use ADB to copy files. Maybe it is linked to leaving the debugging interface up all the time? I do that and I'm sure that most of you do as well...

Me too :(

I am using FRF91 MRCr21 and I am on a 800mv 070810 .35 rc4 kernel. Newest 5.00.08.04 radio.

Twice now after using quickboot my phone has reported my SD card damaged and it says I will have to reformat. It is a 8gb class 2 sandisk, real. One time I used quickboot to enter recovery mode and the other was only to reboot the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best fix? Both times I rebooted my phone was stable. I wasn't downloading or installing anything. Thanks!

My phone can't read the card. If I pull the card and put it directly in my computer it won't read either. Both OS can't read the file system and want me to reformat.

Neither happened due to not dismounting. Anyone correlate the problem with quickboot?

I had this happen to me the other day.

Running Froyo (Modaco R21 I think - It's been a while since I've updated it since everything's been stable) and the same 8GB Sandisc card that I've had since I bought the phone in January.

I pressed on my Beautiful Home widget to change a preference, phone froze up, screen went black after launcherPro and Beautiful widgets both force closed. Phone was unresponsive after about a minute so I pulled the battery. Upon restarting, the SD card was unable to be read and marked as corrupt or damaged.

Thing is, my computers don't recognize it, either. It doesn't get assigned a drive letter or anything, so how do I go about reformatting it? Is it a total loss?

I just encountered the corrupt SD card error with my N1 and here's the solution that worked for me.

I took my previous phone, Nokia E71x, and installed an app called Xplore. I then stuck the "corrupt" SD card in the Nokia and was able to browse the entire file structure with Xplore. All the files were intact and I transferred them to my PC via bluetooth. Phew, all the data was saved! Hope this helps.
