crap. i flashed some new roms tonight,but decided to go back to my previous rom. did a nand back up before. now after nand restore the boot animation for aloysius starts and goes for about 5-10 seconds. freezes and then restarts again. i never seen it do this before and have loaded it several times.
its really random and freezes, starts over again, freezes etc.
have wiped, restored and same thing over and over.
your sd card may be corrupted, try mounting your phone sd card then running chkdsk in windows on the card; go to my computer --> right click sd card --> properties --> tools --> check disk for errors (or something like that, i use Ubuntu) good luck!

Thanks Tereg,
I ran the disk check in windows and it said the disk is healthy.
still can't seem to flash any cynagon or froyo roms.
would a 16 gb sdhc sd card yield better results? My plan is to format the new card to fat32 no partitions and try loading a cynagon or froyo rom.
i did the engineering bootloader and now am running 1.49 s-off. i am rooted and can successfully run aloysius, evil eris, any of the vanilla roms. but any 2.2 or cynagon roms just either freeze during the boot stage or boot loop.
my phone runs great oc'd to 710 on aloysius v12. snappy, very little lag. i'm fine with this rom, but reading and seeing the screen shots of the froyo type roms i want to try them out. any other ideas what could be causing this on my phone? and if the sd card is healthy, what would be the next thing to look at? could the hardware on my phone be bad?
I tried all the froyo roms before discovering aloysius. Aloysius is faster by a mile and all your stuff will work. On froyo you'll lose camera and other stuff and get quirky odd crap happening. I'll never move off of aloysius.

Try Formatting the card, since any froyo or CM roms have apps2sd built in there may be an issue with the current partition.
The Froyo rom I'm using works great, and if you look at the cyanogen twitter page you'll see there is a camera fix now.

this phone is really starting to piss me off.
i inserted the usb cable to mount the sd card as a disk drive. wouldn't come up under windows, the notification bar on the phone didn't show any options for usb charging or mount as disk drive. nothing. then the phone reboots.
- goes thru the boot animation for about 5-6 seconds. freezes, then starts back up again.
this has happened so many times before and each time the only way to fix it was to reflash the rom and reload all of my settings/wallpapers etc. nand restore won't work anymore either.
i have wasted so much time with this phone. most of it f'ing around with roms etc. but now i just need it to work as a phone and it won't even start up.

I am on stock 16GB sd card class2 and HD2 stock battteryI tried 2GB class 2 and 8Gb class 6. I am on Radio 2.10 and even upgraded to 2.12.Lot of SODS and phone restarts automatically.
After SOD windows won't load up and hangs at Stick together logo and will never go forward. Need to take off the battery and need to wait for couple of minutes and after wards it loads.
After getting into Android, gets again SOD and will reboot and when I get back into android, will try to check email or make call and then again phone restarts itself.
Any ideas.
I am on Darkstone latest release froyo2.2 with today's update i.e 18th August and tried all kinds of ROMS.
Any help is appreciated.

Could be corrupt files on you sd card. A bit time consuming, but doesn't hurt..
- Copy your sd card onto your pc.
- Format sd card (fat32)
- Copy everything back
I read somewhere that this problem can be caused with mounting your sd card from your phone via usb. I know I had a lot of problems with Android seeing the new files I copied over so I stopped doing it (connecting via usb).

Friend,
I did copying N number of times, formatting SD card..
Do you want to me to try still?
Any other suggestions?
Just dittoing. Having the same problem with chuckyrom + mattc 1.5. Seems to happen when i'm not using the phone for a while.
Can I load the stock firmware , and install HSP3 and start running android?
Do I need to have a different ROM to run this? All I understood was earlier there was a sound issue but not now..Can I do the above step?
same
yea i get this very random, I'm not to sure if its bluetooth related for me, anyone's guess i think at the moment

I had this same self-reboot issues, regardless of android build, even after deleting and re-creating the android folder in the sd card.
Following is how I managed to solve it:
Take out sd card and use card reader, mount it on a winxp machine.
Copy ALL files to a backup folder in pc. Use 'xcopy /e /c *.* c:\sdbak\.' for example, as normal copy/paste wouldn't work if it found errors due to corrupted files.
Use sd formatter. Refer to this thread. Do a Full format; a class 2, 8GB will take around 10 minutes to complete.
Copy back each backup folder into the formatted sd card, one by one. Recreate and copy your favorite android build onto the sd card.
Reinsert sd card, boot up and start android from fresh.
Let us know if this works for you.
i did do full format in xp before and have random reboot problems. Maybe something happened since then, ill try this tool.
Did it and no dice, still reboots. Im gonna try another suggestion about uninstalling setcpu.
setcpu
this restart happens to me everytime i use setcpu im on shubcraft 1.4b with the r4 overclocked zimage labeled NewKernels_LatestGIT_r4_BTalternative it just started happening with this zimage. are you using setcpu try uninstalling it it worked for me! i never had this prob with the original zimage! hope this helps!

It doesn't work. It still reboots inspite of doing all the above steps.
I have the same issue with crashing back to windows mobile when inactive, this is only recent for me, previously Android was solid as a rock. Guess I will try a build without adding apps or settings and see if it crashes, then add apps one at a time.
Does anyone know of a way of catching the error/crash reason?

Just a note, shub and darkstone's builds gave me random reboots. Ive moved to mattc's nexus based build and it has been super solid.
I have installed mattc 1.7 and zimage r11 with all .ko files and no longer experience reboots in android, I use task manager and setcpu also, its worth trying a this if you have probs
Sent From My HD2 using xda Android app
It all started out with a simple root, flashing of recovery, and a flash of Megatron to my friend's Optimus T. It was great, the rom was fast, snappy, and much smoother than before. No problems......until my friend switched SD cards.
I am aware that messes up the ext4 partition of apps on the phone. Well, my friend switched back to the regular SD card, and it still didn't work. Soon, he started to get weird issues, such as the the boot animation switching back to the stock Android one from the sketch animation in Megatron. I told him to wipe data and cache, and told me that it didn't work. So, I have his phone right now, including a bit of headache.
The problem: The SD card refuses to mount on his phone. His phone boots up and all, but force closes after finishing the Setup Wizard with the message "The application 'Setup Wizard' closed unexpectantly" or something like that. And there was a black screen after that with nothing able to be accessed. The status bar still displayed, with the notification "SD Card is removed" or something along those lines. I suspected at first a data/cache/dalvik wipe would fix it, but to no prevail. In the recovery (using RA-thunderg-1.1.0-GNM), whenever I try to flash a zip, the following error appears:
E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0 p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:
Also, when partitioning the SD card, the recovery says that it has succeded, but in reality, it hasn't. Also, converting ext2 to ext3 does not work and displays:
Error : Run 'fs ext3' via adb!
and for ext3 to ext4:
Error : Run 'fs ext4' via adb!
To add, the USB-MS option doesn't work either, as the Removable Disk does not show up in Windows.
I've also tried using a blank SD card that was freshly formatted: didn't work.
So it all boils down to the SD card not mounting.
Any solutions? I'm kinda responsible for this as I told my friend to do this, but I never expected such a problem. I am an experienced Android user as I've flashed, rooted, adb, and etc on a Droid Eris, Droid, Droid X, Samsung Continuim, and currently the Samsung Fascinate. The hardest problem I've encountered is dealing with Samsung's RFS issue, but I've gotten over that now. This is beyond anything I've seen.
Hopefully the community around here can help me as I've been trying to solve this for a few days now. Thanks for enduring through such a long post!
(P.S. All SD card's used are the stock Samsung Class 2 2GB that comes with the phone.)
Change the sd or try fresh format and reflash.
As said before, even with different SD cards, the card will not mount, and therefore I'm unable to flash anything from the SD card.

only possible reason for what's,happening would be that you didnt follow the procedures correctly, I recomend u reflash stock rom and do all the procedures for flashing a custom rom correctly this time..
I flashed the rom correctly, and it worked perfectly until my friend switched SD cards, so I'm pretty sure I followed the procedures correctly.
Edit: Would you mind linking me to a stock reflash of the phone? Can't seem to find it....
I've been having ongoing problems with my SD card in both MIUI and CM7. Basically, sometimes my card will mount and sometimes it won't. When I try to mount it, it sometimes says "damaged card" or "blank card" There's no consistent behavior. Sometimes it loads up fine on reboot, sometimes it works fine if I eject and reinsert it or unmount/mount it, but sometimes not. I've tried two different cards - one a sandisk 32gb class4, one a sandisk 2gb class4. I've tried reformatting the cards both on the phone and on the computer, using windows standard format and also the sdformatter program. I've loaded each ROM several times, ODINed back to stock, ext4 formatter, kernel cleaner; tried different kernels, different radios, different cards.
The cards I'm convinced are not the problem, because they work fine on the computer and also on my phone using different ROMs. I've seen people come up with this problem here and there, but not found a reliable fix. Every thing I've seen recommended I've tried, but nothing lasts. Sometimes things will work fine for a couple of days, then I'll start having problems again.
bump - anybody have any input on this problem?
+1
just flashed cm7. My sdcard works fine on cm6.
the other weird, app2sd is just fine, every app on that partition working, except accessing sdcard.
sdcard also can mount on recovery using, as well as mount mass storage via recovery (mass storage failed on OS)
The only problems I've ever seen with sd cards is on ec09 but not cm7 or miui.. based on what you describe...I would think its a hardware issue with your phone not the rom, not the kernel, nor the sd card itself, have you tried pulling the battery, removing the sd card and cleaning the contacts on your phone with some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip..do the same to the card or you can use a pencil eraser for the card...is it possible you could have tried to insert a card the wrong way or a little crooked? I'm just brain storming for ya cause I'm not sure on a definite fix.
If you can, I would back up everything on your card while its still usable just in case its crapping out on ya
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Thanks. I haven't tried that, but not sure how it could be a hw issue since the card works just fine on other ROMs on the same phone. Never had any SD card issues of any kind until I started messing with these GB ROMs. I will try, though.
I'm really thinking of going back to a froyo rom for now because I need stability. But this is such an intermittent/rarely reported issue that I don't think anybody's really working on it. I don't know that it will ever get fixed, in other words. Oh, well.
Well, I've given up on cm7 for now. I've gone back to ed05, trying the powerwashed ROM for now. Got to get some stability out of my phone, and unfortunately, I'm coming up with nothing from cm7. Maybe if there's a big update or something I'll have time to play with it again.
solved on CM-7.1-Pre
tried installing other rom base on CM-7.1-Pre and it work like a charm.
still curious if i have bad sdcard, tried back to previous ROM, and.......... the problem persist there.
so I decide to try dualboot.....
All my sd card mount issues are usually solved with a battery pull

I also have problems with my SD card. I can't partition mine. I more or less bricked mine about a month ago flashing a voodoo kernal, or not voodoo (I can't figure the whole thing out anyway) where it wasn't supposed to be (I think....), and followed Dale V's instructions on unbricking EXACTLY. I've now gone clear back to Eclair 4 times, ODIN'D AND HEIMDAL'D each and every time I've gone back to stock, AND I've used different links to different DL09, DL01, ED01, EB01, ED04, and on, and on, and on...and every time, my SD card partitions perfectly, I think (at least I don't get the E: can't format, file doesn't exist crap when I try to wipe dalvik cache, and only dalvik cache). As soon as I flash 7/17 CM7, the updates, gapps, glitch kernel, I have no partition. I can see the partition with file managers, but there's nothing there.
So, I totally feel your pain.
And while i'm here, why do I have a .apk called FOTAKILL in my files????
Peace!!

CM7.1 pre is an older build, correct? Where can I find it? Am I understanding that you install this one first and upgrade from there, or just leave it at this build? Anything else I should know if I want to try this out?
having the same problem mate my sd card is damage after i flashed miui
when i connected my phone to pc to test the connectivy it also cannot detect my phone btw my phone is sgs19000..and when i ejected the cable it says my sd cad is damaged..i know i safely remove it..but what is the proper way to safely remove it in miui because its a little different compare to stock/other ROms..
me too, but only on miui & 32gb c4 sundisk microsd on stock all normal. On all new kernel when my phone wake up I see this message.
I can't see problem on old kernel - try kernel neo09.
And maybe this help too - multimount app from market.
I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work.

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

Flashing my fascinate for the first time. Flashed cm7 7.1 stable build and my phone is having a hell of time running with the SD card. sometimes cm will recognize it but most of the time it starts to freak out after a few minutes of working and say BLANK SD CARD or SD CARD UNEXPECTEDLY REMOVED. It will also lock my phone and cause it to restart. Also if i boot up with SD card in it bootloops me. quick clear of all data and no SD card in i can reboot. with the SD card out it runs great and boots great. I have the stock 16gb sandisk SD Card that the fascinate comes with. Before you guys ask, I have already reflashed a bunch of times and i have reflashed back to stock and then tried all over again. still no cigar.
Please Help !!!
Probably best to get a class 6+ SD card. Have you tried formatting the card on your computer, then using it?
Yes, I saved all my files i needed then formatted fat32 same problems. should i have done NTFS? where can i come about one of these class 6 cards.
I've been using one of these in my Fascinate since last summer with excellent results:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OYLN9U/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
i will have to check into getting one. but there is no way or any kind of fix to make the stock fascinate sd card work with cm7 ?? seems to work fine with other roms that i tried today (AOKP build 29 ICS). id love to be using cm7 though without this problem.
It does seem strange that it'd work with AOKP but not CM7. I don't know, I had one SD card that wouldn't work with MTD roms and one that did. Although I've gotta say, I don't know why one would choose CM7 over AOKP?

I guess your right. this AOKP build 29 is way better. just am weary cas its only a "build" which is why i was thinking try and find a fix for cm7.
took a look over on the CM forum and it seems that the "stock" sd card has been a problem and no "fixes" yet. looks like ill have to try a different class sd card.
