I rooted my HTC one s and was running the CM10 rom, i accidentally wiped everything so my os and all my backups were gone, i can still get into TWRP but it wont allow me to mount the SD card, i also tried to reformat the sd card which allowed me to put files on it but they dont show up in twrp. So right now i have a phone that can only go into TWRP, please help me.

Since you have a question and need help you should have put this in the Q & A forum. If you did you might have noticed the sticked post that says "[HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard"

hello,
preparing to sell my nexus s, i formatted the 'sd card' (nand memory) - in clockworkmod recovery, and on windows too, just to be sure. i attempted to install a rom on the phone, but clockworkmod says it cannot mount the sd card. i had the same issue on my motorola atrix, and i solved this by removing and formatting the memory card in windows. obviously, i cannot do this for the nexus s as the nand partition is obviously not removable. i need to install a rom on the phone ... somehow. i can mount the nexus s on my pc, and access fastboot, if that's of any help. does anybody know if i can somehow bring the 'sd card' back to life via fastboot, adb, or some other way? otherwise, it seems i've made myself a nice door stop.
thank you for any help you can provide.
someone posted with a similar issue the other day and i think it was fixed by locking/relocking the bootloader which wipes out everything. have you tried that?

Hello folks,
Am new here, last night after watching some videos regarding jelly bean, i really cant wait for the official update and decided to root my phone, so i followed all the necessary steps and unlocked bootloader installed clockworkmod and as the instructions said, i wiped all cache, factory reseting done and when i chose to install the ROM from sd card its just not loading an shwing me some error. I tried alot i got a backup created before rooting but even restore is not working when i tried. I think there is some problem with ROM file i copied on to phone storage, as i cant start the phone normally there is no way i can copy another ROM into phone storage as far as i know. can some one please help me with this issue, I have a back up copy in my computer too. can some one please tell me is there anyway i can copy another ROM into phone storage or directly flash from computer or anyother way, I just want my phone working.
My Phone is HTC One X Australian Version

Clock work = unreliable twrp recovery = reliable
What Rom did you try to flash can u give me the link please
Agree, use TWRP and not CWM.
What CWM did you install, and what ROM. Maybe another case of installing the wrong recovery or ROM for the Tegra3 One X.

Sounds like you are trying to install a ROM for the quad core version. You better be happy it is giving you a warning, or else you might have had a very expensive paperweight.
When you get to the bootloader screen (the white screen with a bunch of small text and words like "fastboot" and "bootloader") do you see the word "evita" or "endeavoru"? If so, which one? This thread is in the evita forum and the two devices, although identical to the naked eye, re completely incompatible.
Good afternoon fellas.
Have a customers phone here who decided to install an update for his rooted system by SD Card and has essentially "bricked" his device from what it looks like, or soft brick. It will load every time to CWM Recovery but I cannot mount the SD card through commands which will not allow me to run a new rom or flash the backup that was made. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced valued community.

Have you tried to mount system in mounts and storage in cwm ? If so have you also tried flashing backup? If its not mounting I'm not sure if it will work but scripts usually these days via roms and such will auto mount. But try this.

I have tried it and it says error cant mount sd card. the computer sees the phone and registers it has storage but it says storage corrupted and I can't seem to get the sd card to mount no matter what
Can you be a little more clear about the issue??
SD card not detectable?? Which recovery the phone has??

It was already said in the OP
Not trying to be rude by any means, the phone just loops through CWM even after factory reset, after loading the recovery made and an unmountable sd card through CWM commands

have you tried other sd card to check if it mounts or not?
rediculously enough......no
Just tried and same error
maybe the CWM recovery is broken, try with kdz to flash a stock rom and start all over, if kdz recognize the phone
where would I find KDZ, my google search turned up nothing that looked usable

root with superoneclick 2.3.3 only with exploit on auto, maybe it will not work the first time, for me worked 3rd time if I remember, dunno maybe it was superoneclick maybe Iam noob
unfortunately none of these seem to look or read like theyll work for me, phone is already rooted with custom recovery and I do not want to further damage a customers device
or maybe you need to just reflash recovery
That would mean just adding it to sd and flashing such as roms and gapps do...correct?
try to search other recoverys, follow the tutorial or ask the dev how to, in your case, older rom manager allowed to install amonra or older cwm but now it doesn't, so search forum for a different recovery and ask how to install it, or maybe it is the phone to blame...... do a visual check for the sd port of the phone to see if all is ok, bytheway you didn't mention if the phone boot or not
some blame cwm and rom manager becauze they do not like it or does not know hot to use it or maybe they are just bored, I use cwm for over a year I had flashed over 50 roms through cwm on a single phone and nothing bad happened , thats why the user is allways to blame, because it doesn't apreciate the other people work and doesn't follow the instructions because he knows better, CWM IS GREAT as long as the user does nothing stupid and wants to blame others for his fault, same for other tested and working recoverys
I am looking for some guidance and assistance in the following matter.
Did a standard over the air update to JB and from what I can see I lost all my user data from my internal storage.
All my custom directory are gone, DCIM empty.
Been out of the country, not that it matters where I was, and the standard HTC One X device prompted me of a system update. (I have not rooted nor flashed any custom firmware on this puppy yet.)
All seemed to go smooth and the phone started normally. Although I lost all my data.
Android Version:4.1.1
Software Number : 3.14.401.31
First I wanted to ask if anyone has seen this behaviour before?
I tried to do some date recovery with Recover my Files v5 but now see that there is an internal SD mount issue with JB.
What would the best way be to proceed as I am only interested in trying to recover my data?
Thanks in advance.
Internal SD data has been lost or corrupted for some people (including myself a couple times) while flashing custom ROMs. Don't think anybody ever figured out exactly why, but it seemed related to the phone itself (rather than custom recovery or the ROMs themselves). So it wouldn't surprise me if this is the same or similar issue.
Not sure how to recover your data. There was a similar post (maybe last week) and I think somebody mentioned a couple market apps that might be able to recover the data in this situation (since JB can't mount as mass storage to use PC programs like Recuva).
Solved
Thank you Redpoint for your thoughts. I hoped that I would find an easy reply to solve my problem but in the end this is what I knew I ultimately had to do.
Quick summary:
Unlocked Bootloader via HTC Dev.
Flashed Recovery, Team Win Recovery Project 2.4.1.0
Mounted SD as a drive via Recovery.
Ran RecoverMyFiles v5 and recovered the files that I lost.
Now to go ROM shopping and start again. This time I will listen to my own warning and keep a copy online.
Nobody wanted to suggest that because all that stuff includes writing to the sd card which could overwrite your files. Glad you got some recovered

Ah yes, I always forget that the SD can be mounted as mass storage in recovery.
Nice job. IMO, unlocked bootloader is a great thing. Just probably a bit stressful under the circumstances!
Hello all,
Been a long time dweller and avid reader here. I fell off for a while with my t700. Made the mistake of not checking which TWRP I was on before flashing. So, though everything appeared to
go okay, the OS didn't load. So then I realized my mistake (I was on TWRP 2.6.3-that3) and figured the way around it might be to flash an older ROM, then update TWRP, then go from there. So
I flashed CROMi- XENOGEN 4.7.0. And it also went into a never ending load. I think because I can still get into recovery there is a way out of this? A simple-ish way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry to get into this issue with such a stupid newb mistake.
Thanks all,
Macros
p.s. I should mention the ROM I was trying to flash was ZOMBI POP 5.1.1

You could go here and update your twrp:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...overy-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3049395
Follow the instruction on the first post how to install the twrp.....
When you have the latest twrp, you may want to format your /data partition because I believed that it is corrupted while installing the previous ROMs. The format may take a very long time so let it finishes before install your prefer ROM. You should be up running with the new ROM of your choice.... Good lucks,....:fingers-crossed:
Thank you for the help. With a little reading and a couple of failed attempts I got the new TWRP on there. And now it doesn't see the external SD card.....which is where the ROM is. Any ideas about that? I double
checked the card to make sure it didn't get fried. It seems to be fine. And the old TWRP saw the contents just fine. If there isn't a way to activate that, can I somehow transfer the ROM to internal memory instead? Although I hate the idea of not being able to use the SD card for flashing.
Thanks again,
Already been a huge help.

Is your external uSD formatted in FAT32? Reformat it to FAT32 either in the new twrp or in window to see if it works....
Good luck,
LMK
Nevermind. Updated to the latest, latest TWRP and that fixed the issue. Now to flash the ROM.....
