Yea go to cnet.com and download Recuva. Connect ur phone to computer. Run Recuva enable deep scan and you stuff will be restored

boot ur phone to bootloader and run ruu
Try going into Recovery, and wipe cache and wipe Dalvik, then reboot.
Not sure if this will work on the One X. But I've had occasional issues with the internal SD mounting on my HTC Flyer tablet, and wiping cache and Dalvik fix it every time.
Its worth a try, anyway.
If your problem is that you cannot mount the SDCard (as opposed to being able to mount it but it is empty) I ran into something similar during my 2nd ROM flashing experience. I got into this state by doing a factory wipe from the bootloader screen (as opposed to doing it from recovery). This wiped my entire SDCard partition, even the filesystem on it. So when I booted into Android, it failed to mount the SDCard altogether, saying that it was corrupted.
I had to re-format the SDCard from Windows in order to recover, by doing the following:
1. Boot into recovery (for me was TWRP 2.1.8.1)
2. Select "Mount"
3. Checkmark "Mount SDCard"
4. Connect device to PC via USB cable
5. Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP
6. On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"
7. Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)
8. Safely remove the USB storage from Windows
9. Reboot the device
Upon rebooting, the SDCard mounted fine, although all data was erased.
Lesson learned: do factory reset from recovery, not the bootloader screen

I'm having the same issue, but I can't check the SD card box in TWRP?
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
I had the same issue. however if you USB to PC and format sd drive, twrp will sometimes find. Also notice that when I did that my rom zip, kernal files to flash were in the twrp file in recovery.
Make sure you have everything backed up.
I guess I should add that twrp wouldn't mount however USB to PC still found it.

Ditto, exact same problem. Any solutions?
I've been having the same problems. My phone has been in a soft brick for 1 week and a half now and nothing seems to work.
Suggestions I've been given (None worked for me):
-Hold power button for 10 seconds for a force reboot
-Flash stock recovery, go in Hboot, Clear Storage, Flash TWRP, wipe cache.
-Connect an SD card reader to your phone with the rom in it.
-Partition SD from TWRP
-Relock phone and flash stock RUU (My phone is on 1.94 firmware and there is no equivalent RUU. I tried all of them and they all say I have the wrong ROM)
The only suggestion I have been given that would work is to buy a new phone... But I am not that desperate yet.
Maybe one will work for you

Now that I think of it, it is probably not necessary to checkmark "Mount SDCard". The reason is that doing so only mounts (or unmounts) it for access within TWRP and should not affect the USB access. So if you cannot checkmark it, try just ignoring that step.

So, wait, I'm having the same issue. How did you get your phone to a bootable condition without erasing the SD card?

I didn't. I had to wipe the SDCard by formatting it. More correctly, the factory reset that I performed from hboot wiped the SDCard, so it was already wiped... I just had to format it. Lesson learned: only perform factory reset from recovery (TWRP or CWM), as it does not touch the SDCard.

My phone is now booting, but it still can't mount or recognize the SD card. Do I have to reflash again or is there some setting I can use to get it to mount?
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.
Freaked me out too man

How does one extract the stock recovery from a ruu or stock ROM? (or, would it be possible for you to send me the file?)
and does flashing the stock recovery require me to relock the bootloader?
thx u dolan
Gracias

I followed all the steps, but I'm stuck in TWRP recovery, I can't boot anything past it and I'm lost as to what to do. =\
When in CWM recovery I am no longer able to install anything from my SD card, I was able to before with the same card.
I get an error when I try to install from the SD card that says;
E:unknown volume for path [/emmc<filename>.zip
E:Can't mount /emmc<filename>.zip
I know the card is fine, I can access and edit its contents from a PC
Can anybody help?

EMMC is not the SD card , its internal system memory. Can you list the steps you are taking exactly.
Have you done a system reset or clear data from stock ICS or stock recovery? IF so you may have encountered the EMMC bug
Well I can install from SD again, but now when I try to flash the stock ROM it succeeds but it boot-loops, could that be the EMMC bug?

i have formatted all the files in cwm and now my phone not getting switch on.... not even getting anything on my screen
my phone neither getting into recovery boot nor in flash boot
please help me out,,,
Well look. If you format /data, all your app's data and things like that get lost.
If you format /system, there is no system anymore, so nothing to boot. The whole /System folder is empty then.
If you also format /sdcard, you're whole memory is formated, meaning there's nothing left.
Solution:
You can "mount usb storage" in cwm and connect your phone to a computer. Then drag a new ROM.zip into it.
Flash the .zip via "install zip from sdcard"
That way a new /system get's flashed and your android should boot again.
If mounting the usbstorage doesn't work on your phone (I don't know wich phone you have) Then try to sideload the zip via ADB, but that's a bit advanced when you didn't even know what you do when formatting the whole device...
EDIT: Oh, you should still be able to get into recovery. But I need to know wich phone it is, so I can tell you how
my model is micromax a87...
n my phone not getting into recovery mode.....totally its not responding

Remove the battery and put it in again, you should be able to get into recovery when you boot up the phone with Volume-up and power pressed for a few seconds.
Or else, if you can't remove the battery, press the power+volume up buttons for like 10secs. it should reboot into recovery then
You know, if you really did what you said, and formatted everything in cwm, then cwm is still there.
So, I wanted to install a custom ROM, but somewhere along the way something went wrong and I got stuck in a bootloop, I've been reading up on some threads and I followed some steps that were supposed to fix it, but I feel like I'm in even more trouble now (Well, my phone is still alive so I still have hope but yeah..)
Anyways, I'm using Philz custom recovery now, I tried to do a wipe to install a new or stock ROM, at first it said the wipe was succesful, so I tried installing the ROM, but during the install I kept getting:
E: Error mounting /data
It did say the installation was succesful, but after I rebooted it kept trying to wipe eventhough I did not ask for this.
Got another mount error and said Wipe Failed.
Now when I try to sideload stock ROM I get errors like:
Formatting Cache
Formatting /sd-exxt
E: Uknown volume for path /sd-ex
(I also don't know why it's doing that since this phone has no SD card) I got the Falcon edition with the internal storage. Also when my computer recognizes my phone and I want to open the phone folder, there is no longer an Internal Storage folder.
Anyways after those errors it says Data Wipe Complete, Wiping System, Now flash new ROM
But nothing flashes properly it seems due to the mounting error. I've looked for solution, but I can only seem to find threads that involve Samsung
and when I find a solution video it has something to do with either taking your battery out of your phone (which you can't do with this phone) or something
with your SD card (which this phone doesn't have).
So yeah, I'm running out of ideas here and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers.

The phone has a virtual SD card.
I had a similar issue. Try flashing TWRP recovery and go to wipe > format data (THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA) then reboot recovery. Worth a shot if you're not able to use your phone. You can copy over SD card contents to a computer first via TWRP by mounting MTP, or use USB OTG..
