I successfully rooted, unlocked bootloader, and flashed CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 5 but when I boot my phone up, it shows that the SD card is ready to be removed in the pull down notification tray. I only have access to the allocated internal storage. When I plug the phone into my computer, the shows up as a removable disk but when I click on it, the computer prompts me to insert a disk. If I try to switch to USB drive mode on the phone, it doesn't do anything either.
I've tried to mount the sdcard in ClockworkMod Recovery but it just gives me "error can't mount /sdcard"
I'm going out of my mind trying to fix this. Does anyone know how I possibly could? I did not save a recovery to flash because I didn't know that I had to before I flashed the ROM and now I'm stuck and do not know what to do. If I could get any help at all, it would be so appreciated. Thank you!
Oh by the way, I'm on the Rogers HTC One X.

OOOOPs i seem to have done something wrong
i installed a fj build from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490598&page=2
to get the numbers in UK instead of US format
and now the phone does not load /
I had jf rc9 root and bootloader have tried a wipe and reload with no luck.
Please help !??!
reinstall a different JF build you should be fine, unless you had your apps moved to your SD card and then you need to push the modifued mountd.conf and init.rc and make sure that /system/sd exists
how do you get access to sd card with usb without turning phone on? as cannot get popup on my computer to install a new build ?
i can load system recovery and bootloader screen with usb cable attached but cannot access on pc? - sorry probably an obvious solution have missed - mount / unmount facility
i can see removable disk in my computer but when i try to open states:
please insert a disk into drive E:
but is coming up that a mass storage device is connected
tubaking182 is a star.
prob sorted. opened sd with another phone.. got new build and installed it again.
done ! *phew*
Hi there I have a problem
My problem is that i've just root'ed my HTC Desire (I think?)
But my Desire won't boot right.. It only boots to recovery mode...
If i try to install an update.zip with clockwork it says can't read sd card
Pretty much anything i do on clockwork it says "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"
I have also tried adb but it says device not found
My computer registres my Desire when i plug it in but it doesn't recognize it..
What shall i do next?
Ps. I am running windows 7 x64
Sorry for any spelling errors i hope you understand and are able to help me
I had a similar problem. Try booting into clockworkmod recovery, connect your phone to your PC and select mount USB (or something like that) from the partitions menu. This should give you access to your SD card on your PC. Next, backup the contents of your SD card and then delete all partitions. I used gParted but i guess you can use disk manager in windows. One deleted, don't format the card or anything, just reboot the phone and hopefully you should boot up OK. Now you can format the SD card from within Android. Before you do all this is might be worth removing your SD card and seeing if you can boot up OK without it.
Thanks for reply
When I choose to "mount usb storage" nothing really happens it is not getting recoqnized
The phone won't boot without sd-card
Do you or anyone else know if you can sync your desire from recovery mode?
One step further
Okay i now got one step furter
My phone can now start up, but it still can't registre sd card
It just says sd-card removed
Any ideas
have you tried the "mount usb" option again? Although nothing appears to happen on the phone, you should be able to access the card from your PC. it worked for me in both Win7 and Ubuntu. Other than that I can't think of anything else apart from trying a different SD card.
I can't choose mount usb storage any more.. I can't get into clockwork
Now, when i press recovery I get into a black screen with at red triangle and i can choose from 3 or 4 things, inluding wipe and apply udate
I've allready tried a diffrent sdcard
Similar problem but extra issues
Searched for hours and been in a live chat a number of times and posted on another forum but can not find specific solution.
I wanted to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789830 HD rom so I partitioned my sdcard (successfully, to ext3 1.5gb, 33mb linux swap, rest fat32) and started wiping via ClockworkMod recovery.
That is when I ran into problems.
Now I can not mount my sdcard - "E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) (invalid argument) Error mounting SDCARD:!"
When I reboot, it just loops.
WinXP will detect my device via adb (when in recovery) but can't see the sdcard.
I had never used fastboot, so I am not sure if I am typing commands correctly.
Htc Desire 2.2 GSM * Uk 3 network * 8gb class2 sdcard * Bravo pvt1 ship S-off Alpharev * Clockwork 2.5.0.7 * HBOOT 0.93.0001 *
Was on Teppic's rom with init.d support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Any help would be very much appriciated.
I hope I haven't missed an obvious or relavent thread.
EDIT
Tried sdcard from Nokia6500 but Desire won't mount that either.
When I go into fastboot and plug in my usb, I do get "FASTBOOT USB" come up, so why would cmd "fastboot devices" not detect my phone? In recovery, cmd "adb devices" it does detect it.
I don't mean to be a pest but i doubt any of us can live without our desire's
BUMP
I have the same problem when i make ext etc. for me helps putting card into another phone with android and format it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have no other android device but...
I have managed to get fastboot cmd's to recognise my device.
Just need to figure how to flash my phone but I dont really want to take any backwards steps in terms of flashing a recovery.
Would like to flash my last set-up if it is possible.
Wish me luck lol
EDIT
Sorted....ish
Long short cut short is:
sdcard reader, reformatted to all fat32 with Paragon hard disc manager 8.
copied rom zip to sd.
full wipe with clockwork recovery.
Then inserted sd and installed zip from sdcard.
booted.
smiled again, even though its a practically stock rom.
ok i just waited and it finally booted up normally and went under sdcard and erased all that data this removes the partitions
I have a Captivate that was rooted and working for over 6 months, and suddenly went into a black screen giving error on E:\.....
Have tried to install the stock firmware using ODIN in Download mode I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 and I897UCKJ3_withBL and both are a success, but as soon as I reboot the phone i get the AT&T logo, see the Samsung logo and then the screen turns black and I can't even see the phone on USB
Also tried loading the Pinnacle_Flasher and I can see the CW recovery menu, but after that point I'm unable to flash an update.zip (Pinnacle_1.2.zip renamed as update.zip on root of ext SD card) from the external SD, and am unable to copy it to the internal SD Card. Connecting the phone to the PC says the USB drive needs to be formated.
Appreciate if anyone can help in recommending any other steps I can take to unbrick the phone

It could be something is corrupt on your internal SD card. Have you tried enetering clockwork mod and mounting USB storage and then hook it up to your computer and reformatting it

updated apps from the marketplace..
Did you actually name it update.zip, or just update?
i had the same issue. trying to look for the posts i made about it. i remember something along the lines of flashing to an old boot loader and an old kernel with cwm then doing all my wipes then doing a master clear via odin then via cwm again then tried flashing to stock. im probably neglecting one of my steps though.
oh and make sure you let it charge via wall plug for at least a half hour before you try anything.
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.

I am stuck on my phone with debugging turned off. I can go into recovery but get a failed command when I try to do stuff. Phone does not boot up into a rom but I know debugging is off. What can I do?

What "Stuff" are you trying to do ? Your best bet would be to mount the sd card on the computer via card slot, and copy a rom on the card. insert in again in your phone and flash. You do not need debugging on to flash a new rom.
when i go to mount the "Mount USB Storage" from recovery my computer says it needs to format the drive. I am scared to do that.

What does windows do if you say no?
it closes the dialog box but it does not allow me access to the phone to put a rom on the phone.
Unable to mount sd card seems to be the issue with failures in recovery commands.
Em does the phone see the sd fine?

... Except the fact the S does not have a removable SD card...
You could try enter the bootloader and try adb from there. I can connect to my device in bootloader via adb, but I havnt tried sending anything to it.
What recovery are you using? Ive heard (quite a lot) of people having issues with CWM not being able to mount the sdcard.
You could try TWRP instead, which you should be able to flash via fastboot.
