evo 4g stuck in recovery HELP

i tried to do the gps fix on my evo 4g running the rc cm7. i downloaded a sense rom and attempted to fix the switched back to cm7 rc1. now my phone is stuck in recovery and i cannot restore any of my backups. it says error while flashing boot image. PLEASE HELP

Have you tried flashing a rom instead of restoring?
It could be your SD card. Copy the contents onto your computer and format the card. Put whatever you need to flash back on the formatted card and try flashing again.
What recovery are you using? You can try a different recovery (or reflashing).

it wont even let me connect my phone to my comp. it just sticks me in an endless cycle of clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.2 it wont let me load up to my phone so i can install another rom. it just keeps saying error while flashing boot image. it will let me go to advanced under restore and manual let me restore everything but restore boot is the only thing that fails

Try Amon Ra. It won't let you restore the backups made with ClockworkMod, but you should be able to connect to your computer through usb-ms toggle and put a rom on your SD card to flash. You can also try flashing an older version of ClockworkMod, I've heard of issues with one of the newer versions.
It you can get a card reader or somehow transfer files to your card, flash one of these through hboot. Hboot will scan and find the PC36IMG and ask you to "update" - select yes, then no when it asks you to reboot. Select recovery and go from there.
Amon Ra is here: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
Clockwork 3.something is here: http://db.tt/9sksyTK
Both are already named correctly, so don't rename it.
If you could access your SD card then you'd have a lot more options. Not just flashing a different recovery, but flashing a rom or formatting your card.
Your boot partition could somehow be corrupted. Hopefully not, but it is a possibility.

ok i put both links on my sd card and when i connect to fastboot it detects the file but it says no image detected. it never asks me to update. and i tried instaling the pc36img.zip manually in recovery but it is aborted.

I'm also having a similar issue with the new ClockworkMod Recovery. Until its fixed I've been using 3.x to do all my work...
Is there a place where we can contact the devs behind it to submit bugs or something?

Until its fixed I've been using 3.x to do all my work...
I still cant connect to the computer. i have been taking out my sd card and putting it in the card reader. i am happy aman ra worked. since then i have tried flashing cm7, cm6, and cm7rc1. everytime i try it lets me get to the point where it says installing update but then it says " assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot" Then the name and location of the zip then status 7. i am close i think. i just cant get into my phone at all to make phone calls or text. also i have not been able to connect to the computer with amon ra. Is there a setting i have to enable? thanks for the help guys. I was so lost and now it seems like i am making a little progress

In order to access your SD card from Amon Ra, you need to plug it in and select usb-ms toggle. That's all that you need to do, so if it isn't working then something is wrong.
Have you tried running an RUU? Considering that it won't flash the boot partition, I feel like something more permanent might be wrong. If you can get the RUU to flash, then you may be able to flash from there.
I still recommend formatting your SD card if you haven't already. It can't hurt, just remember to backup everything on the card.

Help! ClockworkMod: "E: Can't mount SDCard"Did I brick my One S?

Good evening,
I really need your help. Been satisfied user of the Virtuous Ville ROM, but wanted to try Leedroids On S Rom today.
It all started with flsahing the Boot.img via ADB, which worked fine. But hereafter, I think I may have made a bad mistake: I launched ClockworkMod recovery, pressed "Nandroid Backup" - without verifying the message - and then wiped my phone. I should have noticed that Clockworkmod wasn't able to mount the SDCard already at the time when it attempted to do the nandroid backup.
Situation is, phone is empty and won't boot, I have been trying to restore access to my SD Card since about three hours, re-rooted my phone and read some bricking threads here at XDA... could not find a solution.
I have used the android internal encryption feature when I had the old ROM. Could it be that this blocks Clockwork Mod from accessing the SDCard?
Can someone please help me?
Maybe there is a way to flash a Ville ROM via ADB, so I can bypass my SDCard-Problem?
Greetings
Ulukaii

Amendment:
right now, I am trying to revive my phone via relocking it and installing the Stock ROM via RUU afterwards. I hope this works while the phone is in fastboot mode.
If this is successful, I am going to post it here.

Does anyone know if I have to revert to stock recovery before applying the RUU?
Thanks in advance
Ulu

And NO you dont need stock recovery, Just a sense ROM and a relocked bootloader

no you dont have to. RUU flash via fastboot should be no prob.

I had the same problem a few days ago & the other forums didn't work for me so I relocked the bootloader and flashed the RUU. Now its back to its factory state and im well I'm just happy it works

Edit -- azzledazzle already provided correct link -- apologies for double post

The link works, had to use it myself.

why not just try flashing stock recovery then going back to bootloader and clearing storage and then going back to bootloader restoring to factory and then rebooting into the rom it'll wipe all partitions including sdcard except for system that uses the original proc/mount and restores sdcard to default
worked for me everytime

That's precisely what was posted further above already. Click the link.

I also get this message "Can't mount SDCard" when using HTC sync to PC..

QUICK WAY TO FIX SD CARD ERRORS
Well this worked for me can't guarentee it for everyone else. I'm running a mac, was able to boot into CM10 very well. Initially it just got stuck at the bootloading image so I had to flash an update boot.img and was able to get in but noticed no sd card even couldn't access the sd card in recovery. So I flashed a TWRP Recovery, still showed that it wouldn't allow me to mount the sd card telling me there is some error, however it allows to mount usb storage which is a life saver.
On mac automatically it comes up with a pop up window that says initialize... ignore eject.
Click Initialize.
Tap on the Drive on the side -> ERASE TAB on top
From the drop down list chose FAT -> CLICK ERASE
After it's done eject the storage safely then unmount usb storage from the phone, you can try and tap mount SD CARD and it will still give you the same error. No worries there, boot into the OS and it'll prompt you that the sd card partition is damaged, it'll ask you to format. Let it format and your in the clear.
This works great if you were able to get into your OS.
I was running CM10

Just use TWRP. Thats it.

Ok just got the same problem ... unable to mount my sdcard. went back to stock recovery and it wasn't able to format/mount the drive.. I'm on a an OSX machine as well.. was about to RUU update but all I can find are exe (windows) files to run.. anyway for me to do a RUU update with a mac anyone..

Help please

Hi i have my asus transformer and i flashed twrp 2.2.1 touch for it. I was having trouble clearing data and formatting it. I had a rom Revolution hd on the internal sd. so i flashed clockwork mod latest and rebooted to recovery. i cleared data skipping /data/media for the internal sd card. then when i went to try to flash revolution hd it appeared as if the internal sd was wiped. i checked everything and it appears as twrp did clear data but still just kept saying fail. mow im stuck with clockwork which only reads internal sd and no boot cuz it got formatted by twrp too. i have tried adb and nv flash etc but cant get any working. my computer doesnt recognize my transformer for nothing. im on WINDOWS 7 ultimate 64 bit. i have tried mostly every possible fix but doesnt work. i have also tried download mode but no luck. IM THINKING LINUX MAY BE THE WAY TO GO??? ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Had you taken backup of current ROM ? Do you have external SD card ? In my case, all the backup from CWM recovery is kept in external SD card only. Otherwise, you can try to MOUNT the SD card from recovery, I think it is in advanced option. If you are able to MOUNT, then you can copy the ROM and flash it again.

If you can get APX mode working (holding vol up,down and power at same time at boot) and your computer recognizes it, give whitekidneys EasyFlasher a go (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012) to get TWRP back on, then restore back ups etc as gurung_vishwas1 said they are located on the external sd card. try updating TWRP to the latest version also

im on ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2 i dont see an option to mount the sd card. Yes i had a backup too but it got wiped off when twrp wiped data but kept saying fail. I think it was just a bad flash of twrp.

Thing of Doom will be able to help you much better then i can. The only thing i can think of is to install asus sync, which i belive comes with all the required drivers. Or you could try the universal naked driver (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942) but i havn't used it so i dont know if it will work for your situatio.

[Q] Stuck in CWM. Can't mount the sd card. Nothing is backed up.

I tried to install drumlock app and my phone restarted and went into the recovery. I can't mount the sd card either to flash the rom again. I dont have anything backed up. I am really lost and need someone's guidance.

I had the same issue one time what I did is I mounted the phone as a USB drive (don't know if it works with CWM, if not just flash TWRP recovery) and formated the SD card (when I mounted it Windows asked to format the SD card; Format in FAT32!). As you can imagine all data from the SD will be lost but your SD card is mounted again and you should be able to boot again. If booting still doesn't work try putting a ROM on the SD via mount as USB drive function and try to flash it. It should work.

worked but another problem happened :[

Thanks for that advice. Everything worked. I formatted the cd card and it is now seen in TWRP where I installed the viper one s rom. BUT! Now my phone just keeps on restarting - it shows the htc logo with a red banner under it and just restarts and does it all over again. I can get into boorloader mode If i get lucky pressing it before it restarts, yet the bootloader wont let me get into recovery. I am going to try other methods I guess but I am wondering if there is a way just to use RUU and restore it to stock?

You must've done something to your recovery when you formatted your sdcard. Try flashing TWRP again. You can easily bring your device back to stock by running the RUU. Info can be found around the forum.

Relock bootloader and run a official HTC RUU (warning: itll update hboot).

what worked but now its stuck

I tried that method and flashed utb rom and when i restarted it its stuck on the loading screen...so i tried the different viper one s rom and nothing either. After i locked it i tried the RUU but it gives me the error 150 ...Im on the right track I know...its probably something minor that I keep on overlooking.

gives me error 150

I also tried this method but it brings up the error 150. Could this be the recovery that is causing it ?

So you can't even get into recovery even if you flash it over fastboot?

Can't install ROM from recovery mode

Hi. I have a shield tablet with Blisspop a friend gave me. Since for some reason the os was quite broken I'm trying to reinstall it via recovery mode and microSD. I already swiped and tried with two different rom (blisspop and cyanogen), formatting the SD exFAT/NTSC, but I can't read the zip file when in recovery mode (storage/sdcard1). It says there are no files and I got an error if I try to mount it. What am I doing wrong?
