In the mounts and storage area of CWM it should show a UMMU format. I'm on my phone so I can't put to much detail, but I posted a more detailed explanation in the development thread that should help you out.
Thank you for your effort of keeping the development thread clean.

is there anyway we can add a chinese language for the system?
I know many people don't put much faith in benchmarks, but they have to measure something right?
That said, ~3700 on 3 run average. Using out of box SD Card.
It's smooth, and no problems yet (except for known "buddies" FC).

Looks great, love the theme. Can you put some sort of indicator on the bottom when you drag the notification pane down? Plain black matches the bezel, and I keep losing it lol. Love the keyboard.
Shutdown still reboots, and I think it may need a battery stat wipe, but I've burned 5% typing this. (Thanks for the % icon )
It's quick, isn't running "hot". But this phone always feels to warm anyway. Everything else is great, more insight on battery life tomorrow.

can someone break down the instructions a little bit for me. this is my first time fashing a rom. where do i start. from rom manager or in recovery etc. why does efs needed on pc. i downloaded zip directly to phone from xda. was that wrong. there are many option to mount/unmount .. only change what is told. when do i format system. and does that mean a reg factory reset. thanks

Ok efs in desktop is optional just as a precaution.
Mounts just set them as I mentioned. The idea behind ummu is that before ur supposed to see unmount in front of the word assigned.
Factory reset is tje option in the top menu of cwm recovery .
Formatting system will erase everything in ur phone making it unbootable if u exit cwm so flash rom before u exit.
And as long as u have rom on sdcard u can flash it

I would start the process from Recovery Mode. I would go to the section called Mounts/Storage first and format system. Then I would Unmount System and Unmount Cache. Then go back to the first screen in Recovery and find Wipe Data/Factory Reset. After you are done that, flash the ROM
done now i am waiting to see how it goes.

Ok so I know when I flash a rom I need to have unmount, mount, mount, and unmount... for sure unmount sys. I read the others don't really matter... but I just want to know what they all mean and do I need to do the same when I am done flashing b4 I reboot. I also read that once cwm goes from ornge text to red you don't have to mess with mounts at all. Is that for a particuler rom or all roms... I can't reall find anything that really talks about it. I just see "check you mounts" ...

As i understand this means that the data is in the internal memory of the phone at the moment and you can't rewrite it with another data.
So you must unmount this data to get the access to rewrite it.
P.S. you don't need to unmount\mount system after you flash the rom, this is made automatically or doesn't matter (sorry , don't know a lot about this thing)

If you don't unmount system and data before you flash the rom you can brick the phone and the only way to revive it is ODIN
what about backups

but there are some roms that say make sure sys is unmount b4 booting after flash.. and some say make sure sys is mount... i wish the phone was more popular with more devs. but on another note, so when i want to go to another backup i have do i need to mount/unmount? and fyi on rom manager i can edit my backups but when i try to make a backup or restore to a backup via rom manager it takes me to the normal recovery.. not the cwm recovery. i have to ether do the update.zip or just turn the phone off and hold the valume+power then it will take me to cmw or (cmw voodoo) witch im not sure what voodoo is... im full of qustions. lol sorry everyone!
I've been reading the forums for a while but don't fully understand this mount issue either so finally decided to make an account to clarify
So basically when flashing a custom ROM, all the devs tell us to check mount so we don't soft brick the phone. They say the mounts should look like this:
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I'm a bit confused about this.
1. Is this what the screen should say? In which case DATA & SDCARD are not mounted (and clicking on MOUNT would mount them obviously) and CACHE and SYSTEM are mounted?
OR
2. This is what we should do before flashing .. i.e UNMOUNT the cache and the system?
Sorry, I know this is a noob question but I didn't wanna take a risk and end up soft bricking
Thanks in advance!

So basically I should UNMOUNT the System and Cache in recovery before flashing, and again after flashing but before reboot? Should SD card and data be mounted during this or does it not matter?

This post by rpmccormick says I need to MOUNT them tho :S
rpmccormick said:
Finally, the mounts thing is something unique to our phone, but yes, for this phone you should check your mounts before flashing a rom, and before rebooting after flashing a rom. AFAIK, all 4 should say "unmount" meaning they are all mounted. I don't know why HewettBR suggested that data&sdcard should be unmounted (probably nothing matters other then system [and maybe cache] being mounted).

As I understand, in recovery the mount screen should say this:

But that to me means CACHE and SYSTEM are MOUNTED [so you have the option to UNMOUNT them] while DATA and SDCARD are NOT MOUNTED?
That kinda confused me. But that is why I posted this thred some people say to do diff than others and I was hopping that someone could say what was the right way and explane exactly why and what and when mounts should be changed. But like I said

Hey, thanks for the reply. So I think I understand now ... you say you make sure the screen is like that before you do anything right? Means you have SYSTEM MOUNTED so I'm gonna do that .. hopefully I'll be fine.
Its just confusing with the wording as some people say to unmount the system but I don't know if they mean it should be unmounted (which would say MOUNT on the screen) or what ... eh ://
So basically before flashing and after flashing but before rebooting, the screen should say
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM

Go to the recovery and try mounting the sdcard as usb storage on windows. Then format the sdcard removable disk. Worked for me. Copy the rom on sdcard and flash from twrp and you'll be up and running in no time.

Thats correct. Its internal, which essentially means its just a seperate partition (formated in FAT32) in the internal memory of the phone. The link provided above should help you, and will allow you to reformat that partition if its corrupted. You have to work through the linux shell as it wont show up in windows if its corrupted. At the bottom of the instructions are even more simpler methods, assuming you are ok with wiping all the data on your phone. The reason those methods work too is because the stock recovery in your phone will also format the sd card when you choose to factory reset, etc (but you need to reflash the stock recovery to work). Check the post, it should all make sense.

This thread made my day
I have htc explorer which is rooted and was working fine. Yesterday i removed the sd card from the phone and then tried to power it on but could not make it. I tried several times but the phone always get stuck at android sign animation. I put the sd card back and tried to power it on but nothing changed. Same problem. Before putting the sd card back, a friend of mine copied a few videos in his pc. I dont know what to do. It gets power on, after HTC logo it gets stuck at android sign animation no matter how long you keep it there. I dont know much about rooting. I have bought the phone from a stranger in the rooted condition. Plz help me.
check
it has cwm recovery or twrp??????
if yes just wipe everthing and install a new rom or stock rom
that it
The SD card has probably an ext partition and someone of your ROM data is on that. So removing card makes it unbootable.
Hit "THANKS" If you think this was helpful.

Make a nandroid backup first(in recovery, go to backup and restore, click backup ).. copy your SDcard and that backup to your PC.
You can extract your needed data from that afterwards (not easy ~but if you're willing to spend some time, yes it'll work )

What to do after that? As I mentioned the phone gets stuck at the boot on htc android logo.
First take a nandroid backup, before you attempt any thing.
Next study adb and log cat(link in my signature )
Look @the log ~try to study what's the problem (if it's some file ,you can directly delete that file )
Alternatively, after nandroid,wipe everything install new Rom ~use apps like nandroid manager ,app extractor /titanium backup pro to restore your apps from the nandroid, you already took *You cannot restore apps ,that are moved to SDcard (the normal way in settings )~but you can restore thier data *

Problrm Solved
Its been a long time since I posted this thread but not too late to inform the community with the final outcome. It was really easy to get my phone alive as it only required FACTORY RESET which i did in the recovery mode and thats it. I didnt forget to make a back up prior to that. But I.decided to continue with the fresh state however i did get a few apps as they were before the reset.
Hi,
I hope the title makes sense
I have the HTC One, but I know the issue I have is not unique to this device. I have flashed a couple custom sense roms, and what I have found is that I seem to have 2 parts of my internal sd card for some reason. When I boot into recovery to flash something, it finds the old sd card, but when out of recovery, I only have access to one, which according to recovery, is in "0". Because the roms I'm on are only using "0", I'd like to delete the original, but I can't because I can only see it when in recovery.
Is there something I can do? I've did a bit of looking around with no luck.
thanks
Anyone?
Same issue
Has anyone heard of this?
I am having same problem....
I am sure it is something dumb I am just missing but I have his issue to a T....
Have you tried to format your sd card from pc ? Or maybe you can try to flash another custom recovery, i use Philz Touch and it has never given me any problems
running CWrecovery. That is the only place I can see the whole SD card (in recovery) but I have to go to SDCARD directory to see what I copied on the phone recently.
It is like I am prevented from going up a directory when the phone is booted up.
I would like to recover what is on my phone so I am trying not to format.
Thanks for the help BTW

No problem I'm not an expert but I've had so many issues with new roms that maybe I can help a little
you could try:
-flash Philz Touch with Odin
-dismounting and mounting the SD card
-mount USB storage from recovery and see if from your pc you can at least copy your data
-though I think you'll need to format sd to solve the problem

If this is your first time rooting I would double and triple check you're rooted and good to go, and also I would do a test boot to recovery mode to make sure that's all good.
For me, the easiest way has been to flash through the recovery mode. Its basically like a factory reset though, so it will erase everything if you're going from, say touchwiz to CyanogenMod. Make sure you have a D2VZW (Verizon) ROM zip and the necessary GAPPs (Google apps like gmail, etc). Those apps can't be packaged in the ROM zip for licensing reasons. Also, you may need a radio to flash (not absolutely necessary in most cases though).
Once you have all of those, place them on your external SD card. Boot into recovery mode (you can use ROM Manager app from play store if you're having issues with that, its tricky to get the hang of the first few times). From here, you'll be wiping/formatting your /system, /cache, /sdcard (INTERNAL SD), there may be more. I always do basically everything EXCEPT your external card. From here, you'll go back to the main menu and press "install zip from SD". Then theres another option to install from external SD. Choose external SD. From here, find the radio first and install (again, not necessary). Next would be your ROM zip file with the same process, then your GAPPs file with the same process, then reboot. Don't interrupt ANYTHING its doing, or you may brick it. First switch from touchwiz to cyanogenmod took a very very long time to install the OS, probably all the formatting it had to do. Subsequent flashes take all of 15 seconds.
