[Q] TWRP and mounting

Hey guys new here. I've done a fair amount of searching and cant really find anything that describes my problem. Trying to root my AT&T HOX and failed to put CM10 on the drive before unlocking. Now I have TWRP up right now but when I go to mount and then mount USB storage my PC says that this drive needs to be formatted to work correctly. Honestly not sure what I should do here I tried using HASOON2000's all in one kit but couldn't find the data folder for it. So I started following Cursed4Eva's video tutorial. I have already went to HTC Dev and unlocked it. When I'm in the bootloader menu it says "unlocked" "tampered". Basically Im kinda stuck right now as to what I can do to get CM10 on the one x's drive. Sorry for the super noob questions. Thanks in advance!

Okay so I formatted my drive. I'm able to get into TWRP and Bootloader screen, I get stuck in an infinite loop of the HTC screen with a disclaimer on it if I try to turn my phone on normally. Not sure where to go from here. Do I need to put CM10 in a specific folder and then "install" it from TWRP? Really sorry for the newb questions but I thought that I could handle this and apparently I cant.

Inside of TWRP, there should be a Mount menu button that will allow you to mount your phone to your computer. Simply drop the ROM zip anywhere in that directory, unmount the phone, and choose the Install option on TWRP. Select the ROM zip file and see what happens. If you get errors of "unable to mount drive" or the like, you may have to reflash the factory RUU and start over. Did that my first time trying to flash, it's a little sucky.
You can also do this from the fast boot bootloader menu with adp push.

Well I forgot upload boot.img can I just do that right now and "install" it? Will it just install CM10 and I should be good from there? Not sure what the adb push is. I have a folder with the documents, boot.img, adb, adbwinapi.dll, and fastboot.
Okay update I got CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip installed so I have root access. I also have TWRP installed. I dont think that I have a Kernal on my phone or if it is then its not working correctly. In my bootloader screen it says **tampared** and **unlocked**
I might need to reflash the factory RUU (I assume Factory ROM?) and try again I guess.

You should just be able to select the entire zip and install that through TWRP. I've been told that if your hboot version is 1.14, you might have to fastboot the boot.img separately. The ROM/Kernel set I used both took care of that for me via Aroma installer, but it's something to keep in mind.

Well Im far to newb for this so I will try to put my phone back to RUU and try again another day! After doing more research I found some people say that TWRP 2.3 doesnt work for the AT&T 2.20 and that you have to use 2.2 TWRP. Can anyone confirm this? Also learned quite a bit from this failed attempt. Please tell me if Im correct, Need to unlock the phone with HTCDev, upload the boot.img via fastboot, install TWRP, mount the "sdcard" flash the rest of the rom? Does this sound correct?

I'm on 2.2 using twrp 2.3.1.0. From what I've read, different roms tend to recommend different recovery apps/versions.
As for the ordering of the install process, I would install the recovery first thing after rooting because you'll need that to flash superuser. A lot of installers will actually use superuser during the installation, so you'll want to make sure that's squared away first.

So you just load the rom after you have your phone unlocked and the recovery app (TWRP) and SuperSU installed?
I really appreciate the help! Thank you!

Sounds like you got it, hope everything goes well. Good luck!

Help! I did something to my phone!

Hello there, I have a htc one xl on At&t rooted... it has the hboot 1.14. Everything was fine until yesterday when I tried to flash AOKP. I used flash image gui to flash the boot.img then rebooted to TWRP and wiped rom, wiped everything, then installed the .zip for the boot.img I flashed... It would say android is upgrading and cycled through all the apps but stopped at starting apps... wouldnt go past it for 6 hours. I rebooted and tried to reflash the boot.img, but computer didnt recognize phone, and TWRP showed there was nothing on the sdcard

Juts mount your sd in recovery and drag a Rom over from your computer

Sounds like the initial problem was just a bad flash/download. It happens.
Try unplugging your phone, shutting down and restarting into bootloader, then hooking it up.

You flashed an incompatible kernel it sounds like.
Make sure you try flashing the kernel within the ROM

Hello everyone! Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the rushed post earlier, was on the way out the door after trying for a while to figure something out. I'd love to send a rom to it, but TWRP shows that I have 0 mb available of storage, and the computer says I must format it to access files or something. I may have forgotten to mention- I think i flashed rohan kernel b6 improperly... used flash image gui then went to recovery and clicked it and hit install ... it hung at installing for a while, and upon reboot the starting apps problem happened, followed by no rom being on there, only being able to access TWRP, and ... well, above things. If I formatted it would I be able to put twrp and everything back on it necessary to make the thing function properly? Orr.... Thanks for any help!
God bless!
P.S. Forgot to add- Not sure why I thought I needed to try to "install" rohan kernel later on in TWRP lol
P.S.S I tried to mount sd card in twrp, nomatter how many times i try to select it it wont work

Yeah just format it and then it'll show up as a drive for you then you can send a rom to it.

I'm sorry- I really don't understand what I'm going to lose if I format, like... apparently all my data is somewhere in the air now lol, but will I not lose any important things the phone needs to run? TWRP? Will the bootloader still be unlocked?
And, if above "issues" aren't "issues", then will the following steps be correct?
1. Send ROM to phone
2. Throw fastboot.exe and adb thing into a folder with the ROM/ boot.img
3. CMD prompt to flash
4. Magic
?
Thanks so much and sorry to be a pain here if this isn't that big of an issue! I was afraid I bricked the thing, but I was holding on to hope that I didn't since it seemed like a good thing that it would still boot to TWRP.
Also- not sure if this is an issue, I tried to hit adb sideload in TWRP just messing around with options, and it said it couldn't mount the SD card.... so.... yeah, is that an issue?

Whatever data you had on the sd card is gone anyway. You need to reformat to use it.
Formatting the sd card won't affect your /system files or recovery, which are stored on a different area, or cause you to lose root.

You guys are awesome. Thanks so much!
And, as you get a lot: Sorry... for being a noob. lol

[Q] Stuck in Bootloader and TWRP

I have an AT&T HTC One X that's rooted. I wanted to put Cyanogenmod 10 on it, but I accidently wiped the System files instead of the cache. Now it can't boot up regularly, I've tried using Rom Update Utility but it doesn't seem to work. Factory Reset doesn't seem to work either. I didn't expect this to happen because my friend just flashed his a couple of days ago. I've tried making a backup and restoring but no matter what I can't get the phone to start up normally. Unless I put it in TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) or the HBoot/Bootloader I really can't use it for anything. Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. Also when bootloader opens it says "Tampered" and under it "Unlocked" because I did root it. It didn't have "Tampered" when I first rooted it.
I don't care about Cyanogenmod 10 anymore I just want to have it working again.
Everything else about the phone is in perfect condition but what I just said is the only problem.

Wiping /system means you wiped the OS. Naturally, it can't boot up with no rom in place. You need to flash something.

Well, I've already flashed it to a few things and so far it hasn't changed anything. Got any links?

Did you fastboot flash boot boot.IMG ? Don't know what hboot you are on, but could be it.

Maximus HD can't mount sdcard problem

I tried to install the Maximus ROM from the dev thread, everything was fine until I had to flash the firmware and the recovery. After that, the phone restarted but was stuck at the loading screen, hence I could not mount the sdcard and transfer the ROM into it.
After that, I could not mound the sd card from recovery. I've tried numerous stuff, notably, flashing the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset and then reinstalled a custom recovery and I still get a problem. Either I get a 0mb sd card in recovery or a 48mb but in both cases, there's errors while mounting them.
I'm not sure exactly how I could fix this problem now, I have read that the easiest is to flash an RUU but I have never did that and I'm not sure if my current setup is compatible with my RUU (which is Rogers).
Since I'm superCID, can I flash any RUU? If so, which one should I flash?

With supercid you can't flash OTA ZIP, you get bricked device.
This thread might help you with RUU's:

I ended up working it out, it was a partition problem.
Also, no where on the thread of Maximus does it state that you can't mount in recovery and have to use sideload to make it work. Kind of confusing IMO as my device was not mounting anyway after the boot.
Thanks guys

[Q] Where Did I Mess Up?

This rooting crap used to be easier man, I swear. I think I literally rooted my Evo through the web browser. Whatever...anyway, it just seemed a lot less riskier back then. I havent had an Android phone since then so I was happy to see my One S come in the mail. Right now though, I'm hoping I didn't waste my money. I'm gonna try to retrace my steps as explicitly as possible so someone can help me easier.
1. Unlocked the bootloader thru HTC Dev
2. Used this to root
3. Install recovery, TWRP.
4. Downloading CM10.2 ROM and Gapps to flash thru TWRP.
5. Cant mount sdCard. The mount screen in TWRP gives you 4 check box options, cant check 'mount sd'
5a. (Can boot phone as normal until now. Was on stock rooted rom with no problems but I hate sense and wanted to switch)
6. Wipe everything; data, cache, dalvik, sd.
7. Cant see SD Card at all now. No OS. Stuck on white HTC startup screen if I dont go to bootloader/recovery.
8. At this point I just tampered around with random solutions from threads I found on google, now I can see my SD card in TWRP file manager but its still not mountable (Even when I could check 'mount sd' windows doesnt see anything).
9. Tried relocking bootloader, running RUU, error code 155.
10. Right now, stuck with tampered unlocked bootloader, s-on, cant install rom because sd card wont mount and cant push ruu because it errors within 2 minutes. This was from last night, and I havent touched it today, and I wont touch it until someone who actually knows what they're doing can tell me whats up.

Hi,
I had a similar issue.. I followed a tutorial on YouTube and the guy forgot to mention that the ROM needs to be on the SD before rooting.
And my device was not reconised by my computer (win 7).
I messed around with a few recovery's.. turned out i was using a older version and after flashing about 3 recovery's my computer reconised my device when mounting SD card.
Hope this helps.

Okay First I don't whether you have an S3 version (VilleC2) or an S4 version (Ville).
Understand this, when you format SD card using TWRP recovery, you can't mount it. It is because only the Stock HTC recovery is able to format the SD correctly.
What you ought to do now is:
1. Download stock HTC recovery for your phone version, S3 or S4.
2. flash the recovery through Fastboot using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Go to bootloader and select the option to erase Storage; if it's not there, then you will have to select Factory Reset, wiping your data and apps too.

Just use this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471151
It will almost do all things for you, Unlock Bootloader, Flash recovery, Root ...
And remember, if abd console says "error: device not found" or when downloading and fail install "HTC MTP drivers" don't worry, it happened to me too.
Remember, you need flashed Recovery, to be able to Gain Root. And Unlocked Bootloader to flash Recovery.

Now I am back to original stock ROM, rooted.
Windows still not recognizing SD card after mount. it gives option to mount internal_sd, but folder that sd is located is called 'sdcard'? I flashed stock recovery, clear storage, then factory reset, then root, then flash twrp.
Even when I put a custom ROM and gapps on the sd through stock ROM, it bootloops after flash. It's like HTC really doesnt want me to appreciate anything other than their crap stock firmware.

Rooting the stock is not necessary flash a custom rom. Most roms that you flash are already rooted and root should be flashed in twrp if you just want a stock rooted rom
Flash the stock recovery, clear storage and factory reset. Then flash TWRP. If that doesn't boot for some reason you may need to flash the stock ruu.
If you chose to keep the stock firmware, you can download the superuser.apk from the playstore. When you run the app it will give you the option to reboot into TWRP to flash the root automatically.

Even after clear storage, factory reset and TWRP flash I still cannot see the SD card in Windows or install a custom rom without white HTC bootloop. Only way I can mount the SD card is on the stock rom.
Also, Win says SD card is 10GB. Does everything else really use up 6GB?

What CID do you have. Have you matched the RUU with the your CID. If the CID's don't match it will give you and error and not flash. If you are SuperCID you can flash any RUU but with a stock CID you need the RUU that matches it.
