I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.
If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.
Rev
Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.
If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851657
Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps
Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!

Hey everyone,
So I got my tablet today and have been working on it for the past 8 hours!! I finally got CWmod on it and running. Had a nightmare of a time getting it to work correctly and after using NVFLASH to nuke the whole tablet and install the stock ROM, then updating i was able to get CWmod to run. Now I'm having a really odd issue.
I can boot into CWmod. I repartitioned the SD card, mounted it. I can see the device in windows but when I add ANYTHING to the internal SD card it is completely gone once I reboot the device. I'm trying to get a ROM on it but it's like the drive is locked or something really weird. It copys onto the tablet just fine. the second I reboot everything is deleted.
I feel like I'm missing something here. I had that issue with it when I ran the stock ROM. I could change something and it would not stick after a reboot. For example registering my device on kindle and then downloading books. as soon as I reboot the machine it's as if i never registered it. I'm really at a loss as to what to do with this. I can't seem to get it to save anything on the internal storage.
Well after fiddling with it for a while longer I'm about to give up. I used NVFLASH to get it to the stock ROM again. updated to 3588 and yet again, I can't get any changes to stick. I can change anything and everything on it while it's powered on. The second I power it off and reboot it nukes everything I did (and takes close to 5-6 minutes to boot). I even mounted it and deleted every single file on the internal storage. They all came back upon reboot. I reformatted the entire SDCARD, I reformatted all the user data, did a cache wipe.. nothing works. I'm wondering if my unit is defective? at this point I would love to just have a tablet that I can actually use. I can't understand how it's even possible to not be able to make any changes on the device unless it's reinstalling the ROM everytime I reboot?
What version of CWM are you using and how did you install it?
I was running CWM 8. I couldn't install it via the internal storage. It would boot into recovery mode and "install" but once the machine rebooted it would not boot into CWM. I tried it several times same deal. I could install it but once it rebooted, nothing :/..
So I had to use the micro SD card to install it. I edited the recovery command file and pointed it to the SDCARD2. It installed finally, and stuck!
I tried using the microSD card to install the other ROMs. But unfortunately it will not mount in CWM.
I'm trying to get CWM back on it after doing yet another wipe with NVFLASH. We'll see if I can get it to work..
So i'm basically sitting here with a brick.. unless I never power it off lol!
Ok well another odd thing is going on with this. I'm up and running with CWM 08 again. I can turn on USB mass storage mount. The tablet shows up in windows and on my linux box. I can make whatever changes I want, adding files, deleting everything on it. Nothing matters cause once I unmount and remount the device it's all back to normal. It seems like nothing is allowed to write to the internal storage even though it thinks it does write to it??
Ever since I first got this phone, I have been unable to detect/mount the SD card in CWM, and under "Storage" in "Settings."
Oddly, I have no issues accessing "sdcard" in the My Files folder, or in Root Explorer.
Whenever I flash a ROM, I have to select "choose zip from internal" instead of "choose zip from sd card."
I have no issues with doing this, however the reason I think that I should fix this is because I keep having problems with Market FC's and "phone is not compatible" error messages when trying to get apps from the market. Also, I am unable to use Nandroid in CWM because of this.
I have followed the instructions here except I obviously was unable to format the SD card.
Thanks for any help!
I got help in another thread and fixed my Market compatibility problems.

Thanks to Schwaxdoc for that.
So no more issues with the market anymore. I'm still interested seeing if there's anything I can do about my sd card not mounting.
I've had the same issue, ROM Manager tells me that the SD card needs to be mounted when it already shows as mounted in settings OR it says "unavailable" in the space for both internal and external.
I can fix it by removing the SD card, turning off the phone, inserting the SD card, and turning the phone back on.
It almost always reoccurs every time I flash a new ROM.
I'm having the same problem, and I've tried to use seanscreamz fix in the link you posted but that didn't work (but, like you said, since I can't mount the sd card I can't format it ).
Does anyone have another solution? Even after going back to stock, wiping data, cache, system etc. nothing seems to work. I can't use ROM Manager, can't restore nandroid backups, can't mount the damn sd card!
I've attached a picture of the Storage display if it helps (USB Storage appears to be my sd card and the sd card is 0 out of 0).
Woo hooo!!! Fixed it. I can now run Nandroid backups and presumably restore them.
I'm not sure what worked, but I think it was flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager. The Odin-flashable cwm I had didn't have the options for "Backup to Internal SD Card", "Advanced Restore", etc.
Other things that may have helped:
--Tried seanzscreams repair here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21424179&postcount=1 (but obviously couldn't format the SD Card that I couldn't mount).
--Flashed back to stock, wiped data/cache in 3e recovery.
--Rooted, then clean install of Alien 5.5 rom using DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE first (new! found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706)
But I'm pretty sure that flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager was what fixed it.
Hi All,
I am using ICS Asianic V2.0 by Darkmantra. And I was playing with my phone last night (Build prop to be specific). I set VM heap to 12 and rebooted and after that It would not boot up. It cannot go beyond HTC logo with white background.
I can boot to recovery, I'd tried a few things that i think made it worse. I re-installed build prop tweak from SD card but did not work. I did a factory reset and a few others which i can no longger recall.... So I decided to just go right ahead and re-flash the ROM from SD card but I was not able to. I was getting an error: "e:can't mount /sdcard"
Is there still hope for my phone? any help will be appreciated...
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes happens, try turning phone off, take out sd card, put back in and try again
The problem is that the phone thinks the SD Card is unmounted. (Sorry to restate the obvious)
Physically removing the card and putting it back in might work. But if you do it with the power off the phone might not realize anything is different.
If you have 4EXT Recovery, you can try to remount it from within the recovery. First try to mount it. Then unmount. Then mount it again. See if that works.
If neither of those work try to mount it with ADB.
And if all else fails, copy the files to your computer using a card reader, format the card, recopy everything back to the card, and start over. I had a situation like that once where this was what finally got the card to remount. Something got glitched on the card so it wasn't being recognized.

Thanks Skipjacks!!
I do not know what solved it but here is what I did....
- formatted the SD card (have no important data in it anyway)
- copied ROM to SD card
- set phone to Recovery mode without SD card
- Hot plug SD card
- tried to update from SD card and it was able to recognize it...!
- i was able to install my ROM..
thank you! I appreciate the help!
Somehow I corrupted my virtual external storage partition and cannot mount it or format it, when I boot my phone it says "Damaged Phone Storage". I've wiped and re-flashed ViperXL but no change and while I can erase the storage in TWRP it doesn't fix it, nor is it visible if I try to mount it from TWRP either. It seems like it works sometimes for internal operations as I can download files but I can never mount it.
I'm running TWRP 2.4.1.0, ViperXL 3.2.3, and HBOOT 2.14, with S-OFF on an AT&T branded One X.
You may have might the somewhat common mistake of doing a factory reset in hboot, which corrupts the SD card (only factory reset in TWRP in the future). You should be able to connect the phone to a PC, go to Device Manager, and it should give you the option to format the SD. Format it FAT32, and should be good to go.

Yes I know I did try that at one point, think it was after the initial problem started but come to think of it the "Damaged Phone Storage" error wasn't there initially so maybe I made the problem worse. Let me see if I can locate a cable somewhere around here I can borrow so I don't have to wait until I get home and try to see if I can mount it and format it through Disk Management. I think the last time I tried connecting it to the PC I got a FC on the android.media process though.

I don't think the phone even needs to be booted, for the SD to be formatted. Try it in hboot.

Seems worse now, I cannot mount it in TWRP, the option is grayed out but a 9.9GB drive does appear in Disk Management but it fails to format.

Ok, I got it fixed. I used the Evita Toolkit to flash the newly released TWRP and that allowed me to mount and use the External Storage from within recovery. Then I wiped and reflashed ViperXL 3.2.3. The android.process.media error is a glitch in the full ROM and fixed by flashing the OTA update. So now I can mount the SD card partition in recovery and the phone shows up as an MTP device which I can access while booted to android as well.
Interesting solution. Wouldn't have thought to try that. Thanks for posting.
I have spent the last 3 days trying to upgrade my Tf101 with an up to the minute os but have bitten off more than I can chew. I spent the whole of the first day just trying to root it to no avail. Ok, no problem, sleep on it. Next morning tried a different method and " hey presto " I have done it.
So, next job is download " Titanium " and make back up to micro sd card, all done. I then followed " Frederuco's Guide and installed EasyFlasher with TWRP 2.3.6.0 and with a bit of fiddling and button pushing managed to load it and followed his guide right through to the second option " Custom Rom with custom recovery ". I had loaded KatKiss 4.4.2_019.zip along with the add on pack and the latest Gapps package. So far so good. Did full the full wipe/ factory reset, cache, davlick cache, system etc, more success, nearly there. Back to TWRP home screen an click INSTALL to start the flash............where is the micro sd..........? Check further.........micro sd not mounted......oh sugar.......
So now I'm screwed, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew. My little TF101 was working fine before I messed with it albeit a bit slow but it was working. Micro sd card slot was working fine up until now. I am not that PC literate if anyone can help me it needs to be in simple terms please, but I can follow instructions. My pc is running on win 7 32 bit. The Asus was totally stock on the last firmware that ended with .27
I do have a keyboard dock with it but has not been coupled to it through out this process.
Have I trashed my little Asus..?
I appreciate any thoughts even if it bad news. This is the first time I have ever attempted something like this, a total newbie.
Thanks,
Steve
Go to the "Mount" option in TWRP and mount the MicroSD ?
If I remember correctly, with the newer TWRP builds, you have to change between Internal and External SD using a dropdown on the Install page
Also, you need to have the micro SD installed on boot I believe. It is not auto mounted in TWRP.

I thought that and that could have been my first mistake as I had not got the files on it when the Guide told me me to install the rom to flash.
I then put the files on a inserted the card but obviously it still did not mount. I did try the " mounting option " in the program but as you can see I did not manage it. I will try again but I am not holding my breath...!
Thanks for your reply.

Download a different flashable TWRP zip - 2.3.2.3 is the latest official build
Connect PC > TF and boot into TWRP
Use adb to push version 2.3.2.3 to the TF internal sdcard
adb push twrp.zip /sdcard/

I am able to get the TF101 into APX mode and load TWRP.
It would appear that the TF is not connecting to my win7 PC because of a driver issue. When I go to device manager the Android ATP device has a yellow triangle through it which I asume is the driver issue. It keeps trying to load a new deiver but ends up as " Failed "
The drivers that I am pointing it at are " Universal Naked Driver 0.72 which I thought where the ones required or perhaps I am doing something wrong...?
I assume if I can get this connected I can move forward.

Hi, don't panic, you have already install TWRPP. At first be sure your microsd card is always on fat32 and get rom and googapps
If ok put your pad off and insert your sd in. Reboot on twrp. To see your sd card hit install, on the high of the screen you can see "choose a zip to install", above hit on "storage internal storage", a new screen will open, select micro sd, your rom and should be here. If you want to remake all wipe before flasing hit the back arrow in the hight right corner. Hit Wipe on the menu, select partitions to wipe, hit all except micro sd and external (of course). Install rom and gapps, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot. I try it this day on twrp 2.6.3.10, i don't remenber for 2.6.3.0, but the way is the same. Good luck

Yes, that the way i try first, if you can boot on TWRP there'snt any reason to reflash it !

I followed your instuctions......perfect, I don't think I would have figured it without your help. My micro sd card was formatted in NTFS...! Did format to fat32 and things started to work. Started form the beginning again and now I have it working again....!
I did a back up using Titanium (Apps+data) to the micro sd before I screwed it all up, just got to figure out how to restore that then things will be a lot better. Any idea how I get Gmail back ?
Thanks again for your help.
Figured out my Gmail problem, found the app on the play store, not sure how I missed it the first time.
Could not figure out Titanium, did try loads of times to restore apps & data but no luck so another late night downloading all the apps one by one and getting them all going.
At least I now have my pad working again but still have some issues to sort out.
I cannot get the camera working, when I try to open it I get " Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped"........I get the response also when I try to open " Gallery "
I have not yet figured out a quick way to look at the Micro SD....on the stock TF101 rom there was an icon you could open up in the bottom left corner but of course that has gone now. Any ideas?
Overall I am very please the way it is performing now, it is much quicker than it was prior to this update so thanks to all for there time for all who have developed these software's/roms etc to enable people like me to enjoy my TF101 and extend its life further. I would like to increase it speed a bit more but I think I had better get any issues sorted before I attempt anything else. I have not put it in its dock yet so will try that later today.
