Lost phone storage??? - HTC One S

So this morning I made a Nandroid backup (everything was acting normal) and I flashed the LeeDroid ROM then his insecure boot image since my phone wouldn't boot without that. Since then, my phone just will not recognize the internal SD card from Android (although, it is fine in Recovery). I posted about this in the LeeDroid thread because I thought it was ROM specific, but I just restored my Nandroid and the issue persisted. I have no clue what happened here. Any ideas?

Not sure if it is related but since I flashed the new ROM (even after restoring) I get that Android is Upgrading (runs through all apps optimizing) screen on each boot. Is this related to the boot img? Would the boot img have restored when I ran the Nandroid?

Hi I saw your issue in the LeoDroid thread also. I think if I were you I would flash the stock HTC recovery and do a factory reset with that. Or flash a RUU file.
To answer your question though, if you restore a nandroid it does include your old boot.img

Why would the recovery be involved though? I don't get what caused this. The Recovery console sees my memory card just fine.

Ok so in ROM Toolbox - Root Browser, the sdcard shows up as a file, not a folder. When I click on it, it has empty contents. Does this help? I have full permissions on the file. The sdcard is pointed to /mnt/sdcard but when I specifically go there, it is empty. When I check permissions on sdcard under mnt, they are all unchecked and when I check them off, it is unsuccessful... ARGH

Could someone post their fstab file for me so I can mimic it and push to the phone, I think it is related.
Thanks

Ok so I do have an fstab file and here are the contents
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard emmc /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host
Is that correct? Why does the mount command in the shell day fstab not found or corrupt?

May be a stupid question, but in settings it doesn't show anything under Phone Storage? What do you see there? Can you try to format it? Can you put a screen shot of your Storage settings? Here is what mine looks like.
You say you can access SDCard from Recovery, did you try to go to Mount and Storage and format SDCard?
FYI I'm on leedroid.

It says phone storage and total space and available space are "unavailable".

Do you have important files on the sdcard your trying to recover? If not have you gone back to a stock recovery and tried to clear storage yet?

Bricked Or Not Bricked?

I have a friends G2x here I wiped his sdcard cause he said he had a back up but he did not but we had it running on hellfire. He wanted me to install CM7 for him so I went ahead did a factory data reset, wiped cache, delvik, and formated his /sdcard cause it was full and he said he had everything on his computer. Well After doing the wipes an formatting I mounted the sdcard via cwm and put on the cm7.zip and gapp.zip flashed both went to reboot and now it only gets to the second LG boot logo with I guess cm7 design behind it and then reboots so I am bootlooping but I am able to boot into recovery still so I am like WTF happend? lol Ive tried a few things already but I was wondering if anyone had this happen to them? By the way my friend only backed up photos no his whole sdcard so I have no Nandriodbackup :crying: FAIL
also just found out via CWM trying to mount internal SDCARD I get this error:
E: Cant Mount /emmc/
seems like there is no /sys file when I do error report i get
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/stat: No Such File or directory
Was CWM flashed using nvflash or ROM Manager?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I'd use nvflasher and start from scratch. also did you goto mounts and format system?
i always do before flashing new rom.
Sent via G2x on CM7 b135.2 w/faux 52 kernel
Well original install I am not sure he bought the phone an it was rooted but I did do nvflash to cwm and to stock to see if either would boot and it didnt work either way it but I did the NVFLASH CWM so I could have CWM recovery but right now all i can do is boot into recovery if I try to boot system it just bootloops
I have formatted /sys , /sdcard, attempted to format /emmc but it gets an error and says cant mount skip format is it possible his internal sdcard or memory is dead?
Try using the Batch Cleanup tool. You can find it in the Dev section. Then flash a GB ROM and see what happens

The G2X is nearly impossible to brick. There is almost no way to brick it. There will always be an answer from the community ready to help.

Ok I am going to try to use that batch clean up tool in the dev section will post results
Ok so did the batch had done it early as well here is a pic of the cmd I ran looks good to me and I am able to boot into recovery but once more I end up boot looping I attempted to install cm7 should I try a different gb rom?
Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone I finally got it did the batch clean up then went ahead and located stock rooted nandroid backup files setup the directory in the sdcard and then restored back up and Booted right up into stock rooted device! I then re-attempted to flash the cm7 latest stable an sends me into boot loop so I am going to say that the rom .zip on that latest cm7 stable is corrupt or something went ahead to the previous stable before that one and flashed it booted right up ! so Thanks a lot again guys and hopefully this will be helpful to anyone else that may encounter this same issue I knew it could be fixed since I could boot into recovery

PG88IMG Splash screens

Thread closed
jmcclue said:
Hi i made a few splash screens for HTC Desire S... S-OFF phones. Just download the PG88IMG.zip that you want, rename it to just "PG88IMG.zip" put it on your sdcard (NOT in a folder) and boot in to bootloader, bootloader will find the PG88IMG and ask to update splash? press volume up for yes then press power to reboot.
Dont forget to delete it off your sdcard once your done coz everytime you enter bootloader, it will ask to update.
I only made a few simple ones so if anyone has any ideas n wants a splash screen then post your pic here and il make it.

Dunno bud. I tried all of them without issues and i just dowloaded one, renamed it and placed on my sdcard, booted into bootloader and it flashed fine, booted recovery, wiped cache then rebooted recovery and still no problem with mounting anything. Problem is at ur end...
Extract the file and put the .img file in ur fastboot folder and flash it from fastboot, its the best way anyway.
Command (i think) is
fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

Weird, it rendered my phone useless propably screwing partition table, had to change HBOOT to 9.8 then install RUU. I will gain S-off again and try that later though. Yesterday I was desperate and angry but looking back, much experience gained. BTW do you know some way to repartition nand (am I asking about right thing?)?
I dunno. Sorry that they didnt work for you and u had to go through the whole ruu crap, il remove them and close the thread, 1 person having a problem is one too many. They work fine for me but, hey, every phone is different.

TWRP

twrp - can't install this package on top of incompatible data

i have followed all the steps using NRT to unlock boot-loader and root the phone.
Installed TWRT manager and flashed the recovery.
Now i am trying to flash CM12 for the first time and stuck with error message "can't install this package on top of incompatible data" during flashing .
downloaded the following flash zip from CM website: cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip (281.77 MB)
Can any one help me what needs to be done to proceed further.
i didnt wipe the data before. Now its working and closing the thread
I wiped everything on my phone via TWRP. Still getting this error!
This topic is old but in case someone else gets here I got a solution - Change /data partition filesystem to ext4 or other supported by ROM

In twrp, I had to fumble around to find advance wipe to clear data but worked like charm after that.
Thank you!
xiaomi note 4g dior
Let me tell my story,
My friend gave me an old xiaomi note 4g which was stuck at the MI icon on boot,
Luckily the phone did not lock boot-loader
So I use xiaomi flash rom to flash global room , it worked after i tried sometimes.
Then I booted to the phone, and other problem came, the phone was linked with an Mi Account , and my friend forgot everything about it
not email, no phone number
I did a search and they said the only way to bypass the MiAccount is using a Resurrection ROM or balallala
so I ended up with using
1. fastboot to install twrp
2. open twrp --> open adb sideload mode.
3. Open window command line and install Resurrection ROM though adb sideload
While installing rom though adb slideload , i got the same issue with topic
SO i cleared data and tried again,
IT WORKED , NO MORE ****ING MiAccount
THANK a lot

Hi
Playing with my wife's Nexus 5, bootloader unlocked, rooted, and latest TWRP installed but when trying to flash from android 6.0.1 to Lineage, I'm getting an error 7 image shown I hope.....
Is this just because I haven't wiped the data first ? (I'm fairly sure but...)
I dont dare try 'cause if it's not that she'll kill me, so would like to be sure before I wipe all her data..
Thanks
Update, it was that I just wiped all except the SD and flashed, all is just great

Soft brick one sv

Hi everyone. Please bear with me I am a complete noob at this stuff.
I have a HTC one sv c525e K2_ul 4.2.2 S-on in Aus with optus (maybe LTE??)
The storage space for apps is tiny so I wanted to root the phone to re-compartment space.
I eventually found and followed the tutorial by qbking77 to unlock the phone and root it. I did well up until entering recovery to root the phone. The twrp image I used didn't work on my phone. I tried several of them with same result. Somewhere along the line I got the bootloop. I don't recall if it was before or after I tried to flash this I think I tried some other kernel that I can't find now.
Anyway I went back to twrp and tried more images. One finally worked to get into recovery. It was- twrp-2.8.6.0-k2_cl.img 10.4M the second listing under HTC One SV Boost USA (k2_cl).
So now I could enter recovery mode I went back to qbking77's tutorial. I found the options and process on my phone was different to his and I had a few errors come up like unable to mount sdcard, storage and some other stuff. As a result I was unable to do a back up and unable to install super user. From there I still got the bootloop.
Although internal sdcard and storage was unable to mount the phone did see the external sd card. So I loaded the super user zip direct from pc to sd card and opened the zip in recovery. Still bootloop.
I was wondering if I managed to unwittingly delete some important ****. So in my brilliance to persevere with screwing with it, I loaded the venom ROM (and some kernel) onto the ext sd card and opened it in recovery. Still several errors came up and I wasn't given any options to pick before flashing. It did say installation was a success at the end. Still got bootloop.
So I am hoping someone might see an obvious f-up that would turn into an easy fix ......... :laugh:
So I've been doing some reading :angel: but I'm no better off. I watched closely what I was doing and I was getting an MD5 error. I tried downloading the zips in firefox so as not to corrupt them but the phone is still coming up with 'missing MD5'.
I'm thinking my only option at this point is to run the RUU as I've seen that suggested a few times to others. Looks like a PITA but I guess it's that or new phone
I don't know when I'll get around to doing it.
Looking into RUU I need the S-off. Since I can't boot the system does anyone know how I can switch the S to off through fastboot or recovery?
So I was too lazy to run the RUU. I again attempted to flash the viper ROM. In recovery it says it was a success but I still get the bootloop. I noticed when I went into recovery something would flash up on the screen but it was too quick for me to read so I took a picture of it. Does anyone know what any of it means?

[Bricked Nexus 5] can't mount /persisit ,/data; Currupt Partition; Flashing Failed

My rooted Nexus 5 has got bootloop issue because of faulty power button. It keeps restarting on its own. After replacing the power button with new One from LG Service center, now it stuck
at marshmellow boot screen, that boot keep running entire day untill battery died. LG Service center guys told me to replace the mother board. Since i was not convinced, i decided to make sure
if it is really required. My Nexus 5 has CWM recovery ver 6.0.4 with usb debugging on. Fastboot, adb everything is working. But if i tried to flash / wipe or mount i simply get error
can't mount /persist
cant mount /data
I tried following links to fix it-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...orial-how-to-flash-factory-images-lg-t2713833
and some other first hand advice like run "Flash-all.bat" from stock rom, use WUG Toolkit to fix soft brick and flash stock rom or try flashing another custom recovery. But no matter what i try
CWM never get replaced and again same error. i was able to flash TWRP ( only untill reboot)and able to see folders under File Manager. But can't select Data, persist if try to wipe or mount from there.
One thing though, While using LG Flash tool my device never got detected in the tool even though i could see LG USB Serial Port under device manager in PC.
Please suggest if there is anything can be done to get it into working mode ,or motherborad replacement is the only way to go ahead.
You could try repartitioning device. try doing this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...guide-repartition-nexus5-to-increase-t3509880
Actually resizing system partition also deletes userdata partition and it should work after recreating it. You have nothing to loose if it is already broken.
Try flashing the oldest stock ROM from the Google site. Make sure to flash userdata.img and perform a factoru wipe before booting the phone for the first time.

I am really sceptical if this will work. Since I have already tried flashing oldest rom of marshmallow (6.0.0).
Anyways, it won't take much time so will try to flash KitKat and let you know.
Edit -
Result was as expected
remote : failed to erase partition
remote : flash write failure
Any other Help ?? How to make sure if its really hard brick and not soft brick?
Sounds like the internal memory chip is damaged. I had one phone where I could not flash anything so I changed the motherboard and everything worked perfectly after the change.
I think I have a similar issue. Someone please help!
