So, a friend came to me and gave me his newly acquired One S and asked whether or not I could get it back up and running..
Apparently, from what I understand, he got the phone, unlocked the bootloader, but then didnt know that he should install a custom recovery image before attempting to flash CM10, so he used the stock recovery to flash the .zip from the SD Card. After rebooting (I have no idea if the flashing was successful) the phone is stuck on the quietly brilliant screen.
So, I took the phone, rebooted into the bootloader and used fastboot to boot up into a clockwork .img. Everything good so far, however, the problem is that its seemingly impossible to mount the SD card. My friend told me he fiddled around and "tried stuff", so I suspect somehow he must have messed with the sd card partition.
Since the SD card partition isnt actually on a physical removable sd card, I am running out of ideas.
Anyone have any bright tips? All I need is to get the Sd card mounted so that I can flash a ROM properly.
Thanks!
Try running an RUU.

Yeah, but I cant get the RUU on the device, since the SD Card partition is broken..

Ruu is installed from a computer, flash standard recovery and lock the boot loader and then run the ruu.

RUU runs life an exe file on a PC, since your friend didn't install a custom recovery, just relock bootloader and run RUU while phone is plugged in to pc in fastboot mode.

Had a similar issue that you can't mount SD from clockworkmod, it mounts ok on TWRP, flash that recovery instead.

Aha, right!
However, this still doesnt resolve the issue of a broken SD Card partition..
It probably isn't broken. I've never managed to mount SD through CWM. Try flash TWRP recovery and mount through there.
Dude just listen to everyone and download the ruu and run it only way to fix it I think

There is a sticky in Q&A on how to fix unmountable /sdcard. (Basically: Flash stock recovery through fastboot, then clear storage in bootloader, then flash your favorite custom recovery again.)
It would not surprise me if this is the same thing a RUU does (except for flashing your favorite custom recovery of course). If so, you don't need to fix your sdcard before running the RUU if you decide to go that route..
Beware that the RUU will also update your hboot, which you may not want.
If you don't want to re-lock, RUU, re-submit token, re-unlock, re-root, just manually fix the sdcard mounting issue. Once you can mount your sdcard in recovery, you can just adb push a rom to it, flash it, (wipe cache), boot it. (Depending on your ROM/hboot/recovery, you may have to flash the boot img through fastboot. The best time to do so is before booting into recovery.)
@djsubtronic: There is some misunderstanding about what 'mounting the sdcard' means.
If you can't mount it onto the root file system in recovery, you have a problem and it must be fixed. In this case you can't push/pull to your sdcard or select a zip from it for flashing. If you can't mount it on your computer over USB from recovery, that's not a problem and you don't really need it as you can still adb push/pull.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Once my mate responds Ill give it a go!
Unfortunately, so far, no luck..
Booting into the bootloader and selecting "Clear Storage" seemingly did little other than boot up into the stock recovery. After going back to the bootloader and selecting factory reset (which also just booted up stock recovery), I made him do a data wipe/factory reset.. which seemingly ran okay, but the problem still persists.. sdcard partition doesnt mount in neither Clockwork nor TWRP, and the boot is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen..
My next idae I guess is to try and install a RUU.. just need to set up a Windows VM as neither of us runs Windows
I had a situation similiar, when i went to flash, i had the recovery twrp, but something happened when i went to flash, and my sdcard got corrupted,
i cant remember if i formatted the sdcard thru windows, but i think i formatted it twrp, and then was up and running,
or in windows7 disk management i had to fix the partition then formatted...
this happened over a month ago took over an hour...
but i really really really dont think ur phone is bricked... i can be fixed...
get the ruu and go over a friends house who has windows.... hope it works...
Thanks, booted up a Win 7 VM and pushed in the RUU, partition table reconstructed and everything is back to normal.. Thats another One S now kicking CM10
Thanks for the advice everyone!

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.

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

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.

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.. Think only option for me is to lock my bootloader and install RUU .. but don't know how on a mac... thanks in advance...
oh forgot to mention i'm stuck on bootloop...
nvm I got it done.. just did a virtualbox with winxp and got all working.. wish they had osx native way of doing this. but at least I got a working phone again.. finally found the right words to search to find my answer..
Hey Guys,
I tried pretty much everything and don't know what else to do. My phone just stays stuck on the android screen. I forget that the "SD card" in this phone is actually part of internal storage, I did a factory reset and lost everything.
I tried flashing different boot.img and getting nothing. I'm afraid I need to get a rom onto the sd card but how is that possible if I cant get my phone to boot up.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
volume down button+power button try this combination until u get in the bootloader then select recovery. once in recovery just restore a backup if you have one, you should have one
i dont have a backup and i have nothing on my "sd" to i can install. I have formatted the ROM and thats why it wont boot..
If you can get into Recovery (CWM) in the advanced settings if i remember, there's a "format sd card" to make it work with the installation of a custom ROM
I posted a tutorial for how to do this:

thanks for the guide but im getting error mounting /sdcard. and if i follow cannondale0815 solution for that problem when flashing the stock and cwm I cannot access recovery mode.
Clear Storage in fastboot and re-install CWM then try it. That's how I got mine to work
Ok if your bootloader is locked and you have a custom recovery first flash stock recovery then boot into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock" After that restart your phone and boot back into fastboot. Then run the RUU for your model and cid. easy.
Follow the steps which might work
1, If you knows something about adb, you can just simply push a rom into the sdcard(You don't need to do this if there is already a flashable rom in the sdcard), flash the kernel in fastboot, go to the recovery, wipe and flash a new rom. Then everything(except your data) should be fine
2, If you are not able to use adb push, or you have never flashed a recovery/3rd-party rom/ or you have other issues:
Using the RUU updater might be safe and simple (of course everything except those in the sdcard will lost)
a, relock the hboot using "fastboot oem lock"(or the RUU will refuse to continue)
b, run the RUU updater, wait for ~10min, your phone will be "refreshed" to something like the 1st day you bought it, except the Hboot will say it is "RELOCKED s-on"(this should be LOCKED s-on at first)
c，unlock your phone again(if you have stored the .bin file for unlock, just push it to your phone in the fastboot mode which is enough already, it is not needed to do the whole process in HTCDEV again.)
IMPORTANT: the RUU updater and the phone must be the same area. for example an Europe's RUU can't be applid to an US's One S
This is also the only method to update the Radio software, unless the hboot is S-OFFed

I have a 2.2.0 hboot 1.14 unlocked, tampered CID1111111 One XL from AT&T. I was trying to try my first cooked ROM Friday night and I think I may have totally screwed up. I did a "factory reset" from the bootloader instead of from TWRP 2.3.1. My phone gets to "initiating Swagger" and gets stuck. I tried to re-ROM but TWRP can't find the directory. Everything appears to have been over-written. I tried to use the 2.2.0 RUU to start over, but now my computer doesn't recognize the device in HTCsync. I tried to re-image the hboot with a stock 2.2.0 image to see if that would at least start up so that I could use the RUU. It doesn't appear to have helped. HTCsync still doesn't recognize my phone although it now alerts me that the device "MyHTC" is now on the computer. I tried to mount the USB with TWRP and the computer tells me that the drive is "unformatted" and asks to "format?" So far I've cancelled out of that.
Is this device borked beyond repair?
Update: The solution was very sinple. Reformatted SD in FAT32. Re-downloaded AOKP and Gapps. Extracted the boot.img file from AOKP. Copied zipped AOKP and Gaaps to newly formatted SD. Flashed the boot.img file in fastboot using the Team Nocturnal tool. Everything booted normally and runs great!
Many thanks to area51avenger and crappyvate!! You guys are what makes this community rock! Keep up the good work.
I believe I had this problem yesterday when trying to install AOKP, I didn't flash the boot.img before I ran the .zip in TWRP. I was stuck in the boot screen and then wiped all my data. Couldn't mount SD from TWRP, had to install HTCSync on my computer, relock the bootloader, and run the RUU of what I was previously on. I tried to go to 1.85, but it didn't allow me because I was previously on 2.20, getting the RUU for 2.20 and running it gave me back stock Sense, and I re-unlocked my bootloader and was able to successfully install AOKP after flashing the boot.img.
Don't factory reset from bootloader.
Format card to fat32, mount usb storage in twrp, copy aokp over.
Install as per the 1000 threads here

So you can actually reboot in recovery ? reformat your sd card (fat32). Try to flash the boot.img of the rom you're on, reflash the romzip and see where that takes you. Note: there seems to be some issue with htc sync while you flash so make sure to disable htc sync.
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).

Hi all,
So, last night I successfully rooted and unlocked my One X on AT&T. Today, I tried putting a ROM on it. I flashed the boot.img first, then tried to install the ROM (Jelly Bean Sense). It failed for some reason, so I wiped and rebooted my phone.
Instead of going back to the stock ROM, the phone now will not turn on, is not recognized on both laptops I tried, and does not recognize even being charged. The only thing that happens is when I press down the power button, all of the soft keys illuminate and flash until I stop holding it. I've managed to get into the bootloader screen once, but the phone reset itself before I could do anything.
The only screen I can get to with the Vol Down+Power combo is the HTC Screen, but it's the one that shows before my custom recovery, with some warning from HTC in red letters at the bottom.
At this point, I just want a phone that works. This is a lot more complex [for me] than rooting and flashing a ROM to the Inspire I had for some reason. I fly out for vacation in two days for a few weeks, so I'd like to be able to avoid having to send this thing back to HTC or AT&T if possible.
ANY help is greatly appreciated.
If it's easier, feel free to Skype chat me.
Thanks!
Im confused.. it won't come on, but you can get to recovery? If you can manually boot into twrp you'll be fine.. may I ask which Rom you flashed? Did you flash the boot.img first? Or after you flashed Rom? Alot of guys will say flash boot.img first.. I don't have that funky hboot but I have to do my cousins alot and his will only boot correctly if I flash Rom first, then boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img.
Try that and let me know how it goes
Also... Let go of all the buttons when you see the white screen lol. That means you found bootloader

I can get it to boot into the Bootloader screen and the TWRP now just fine, but that's as far as it will go. The internal SD will not mount with TWRP either now.
Here's the ROM I tried to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055490
I put it on my SD card, then extracted the boot.img to the folder I have my dab/fastboot files in, then flashed the boot.img, then tried to flash the ROM.
If I can get it working again, I'll try to do it in reverse order next time and see if that works. Still trying to find a way to get a ROM on here with my Mac, and to make my SD card work again. Everything on it is backed up so it's ok if I need to wipe it.
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of flashing the right stuff in the right order.
It could be that your sdcard is corrupted. Factory reset from bootloader will do it, but fixing it just a matter of formatting it again. Can you mount it on your computer? What happens when you plug into your PC?
Your sdcard is corrupt. No big deal but you'll lose everything. Plug it in into computer and locate the storage and try to find a way to format it. Sorry, I have no clue with a mac I swore off apple products :thumbup:
Anyway, you seem to know the ropes for the most part. If you can format, drag Rom onto SD. Wipe everything in twrp. Cache, dalvick, factory reset, system. Flash Rom.. immediately boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img. choose reboot from bootloader. Good luck!

Yep, I also suggest doing a factory reset from the bootloader ( which will erase your internal storage) but at least you'll be able to mount your SD card, put a ROM on it and flash it. I would highly recommended you to flash viper 3.0.0, you don't need to flash the boot.img and its pretty much stock JB with some tweaks.

That's good news!
I tried doing a factory reset from bootloader, but nothing happened. Maybe because the SD card won't mount?
I only have a Mac, with no PC in sight. It doesn't show up at all on here. Fastboot USB, or when I mount it as USB in TWRP. It does however show up as a device in recovery in terminal. But nothing on the desktop. Apple+Android do not mix well!
I'm ok with losing my data, what I'm not OK with is having to use this pink Razr while my nice phone is broken :'(
Thanks for all the help so far!
I do a factory reset from bootloader, it takes me into TWRP. Now is the only time it will even remotely show up on my laptop, and even then it's only via terminal when I do adb devices. Since it can't mount for some reason, is there a way to reformat via Terminal, and maybe even push the ROM to my phone from there? That's something I'm not familiar with.

Hey dude, I followed their advice (dug out my XP machine) and now my SD card is re-formatted.
Get into the bootloader screen, hit factory reset. (When I did this on mine, it took me right to TWRP)
From there, I mounted as USB and it showed up as needing to be reformatted on my XP machine. Took a few minutes to do on this dinosaur, but it worked, cause everything is gone!
Right now I'm in the process of zipping up the Viper XL ROM (thanks for the recommendation barondebxl, it looks awesome!), which I'll put onto my SD card and wipe/flash from there. (on my Mac now).
Hopefully it works!
I'm unable to flash ROMs for some reason. It doesn't give an error, just says that it failed. Any ideas?

No no no. This is what is corrupting your sdcard. Only do a factory reset in TWRP or once booted up. Start over and format again. Then copy over your rom.
When you and a few others mentioned doing it, what were you referring to?
I've tried three different ROMs now, and each fails without saying why in TWRP.
Problem solved! Got the stock RUU back on there and it works perfectly. Just re-rooted and unlocked again. Round two..
