after trying to flash trickdroid from cm10
my phone refuses to mount the sdcard (keeps giving me errors)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720
im stuck at the first step
"Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock"
the problem is my phone is an international version
i couldnt find a stock kernel
can some one help me
I don't think there is any real difference between stock recoveries,
so you can take the recovery from any RUU or OTA.
Just flash it from fastboot.
hmm ok i found a strange way of fixing this
i flashed twrp (CWM has it too)
mounted USB storage
the told my pc to format it as fat32
and now its fixed
You should ask the op to add that to the sticky

Hi all,
when i boot my g2x into recovery (clockworkmod) and try to backup, it says it cant mount the system. first it used to say cant mount sd card but the solution was just taking out the sd card and putting it back in. unfortunately i cant do this with the system
anybody have any solutions
That happened to me too... download the update.zip from rom manager and boot that or flash the new recovery image
How do I get the update.zip though? And when I go on rom manager and click on flash clockworkmod, it flashes the latest version 5.0.2.0 but it only stays in that version if I click on restart into recovery. If I exit and turn my phone off then boot into recovery, I still have version 3.0.2.7 and the same can't mount system problem occurs

I just fixed this problem today.
The version of CWM that you have flashed as recovery doesn't have the capability of mounting an ext4 file system. Most likely your file system was converted to ext4 somewhere along the way. You need to flash CWM again and it can't be through rom manager since Rom manager only gives you what is considered a "fake flash", which is why you see 2 different versions when you boot into your recovery.
Use the search feature to find information about how to install CWM 5.0.2.0.
There is a one click installation script somewhere in the development section for the G2x with very good instructions on how to permanently flash a newer version of CWM that can handle ext3 and ext4.
Doing this completely fixed this issue for me.
Hopefully it will do the same for you.

NEVER, EVER FLASH RECOVERY WITH ROM MANAGER!
rom manager only does a FAKE FLASH on your phone, if you want a real recovery, always flash with NVFlash

Hello i think i bricked me phone... I unlocked my one S installed flashed recovery and rooted it.
the i installed cm10 nightly, but it stays at the cyanogenmod load screen.
I can get into bootloader and recovery but ive been dumb enough to not backup my stock rom.
Anyone has a suggestion for what to do now?
Is it possible to flash using fastboot maybe?
thanks
Not fastboot! Use an RUU and do it that way.
There might be a problem with your cm10 download. Anyway you can't flash Rom in fastboot but while in recovery you can mount sd card (internal storage), copy any other Rom (maybe download any other nightly) from your pc to sd card, unmount and then flash. No need to run ruu.

That doesn't work I tried that before.
Idk, that was my idea.
So it fails even when you try to wipe, that's interesting (also means my assumption was wrong).

I am having the same issue
hboot1.14.0002
radio 0.19as.32.09.11_2
I am unlocked/tampered but S-on.
I thought I made a back up of CleanRom5 when I first put it on the phone, but alas I find that I didnt.
So I am between roms with s-on. Is there a way to achieve S-off with. I can still get into bootloader, and recovery.

boot to bootloader fastboot flash a 2.3 version of twrp i use 2.3.3.0 boot to recovery mount usb transfer rom to phone flash rom be sure to fastboot flash boot.img reboot
This seems to be a bug with 2.4.x.x versions of TWRP. If you downgrade to an old version, it should be OK, from what I've read.

I installed 2.3.3.0 and the factory reset still failed..?
errors given were E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
did you factory reset from bootloader if so you have corrupted your sd card there is a fix let me find it
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
this is not my post copy and paste
Thanks brother anyone else this may help

I just about crapped a brick literally
Just rooted and s-off a replacement one S. Everything went fine until i got to the point i was going to flash a rom. Ive been using the viper rom. after starting the installer it seemed out that all it did was format the memory. After it finished it rebooted and stayed on the HTC splash screen for probably twenty minutes before i did a hard boot. after getting back into recovery and trying again it did the same thing. i decided to just start over and do reboot from recovery but it is saying there is no OS. so i went back to view my card from recovery and everything on it was erased. Now im trying to copy the viper rom back over via recovery but the transfer speed is down to about 50kbps and keeps saying its timing out. any ideas
What recovery are u using? I read several times, that ViperRom and the latest twrp don't fit. In case of using twrp u should try an older version.

I guess i was using the twrp with that all in one toolkit i would switch to cwm but i cant get my computer now to reconigze the phone. i keep getting the htc mtp driver issue and haven't been able to figure it out. I figured if i can get the other recovery installed i should be able to flash a os

go into bootloader, then fastboot usb mode.
the flash the new recovery via fastboot command, or with the all in one toolkit (chose custom, then locate your file)
i switched over to cwm and tried copying a viper rom to my phone but it keeps erroring out during the transfer. I tried a smaller rom and it copied over but all its doing with i click install is going to a black screen then back to cwm
i also tried several other roms that were smaller in size and it was doing the same thing
I have been reading for the last couple weeks, thinking I have an answer and end up further into the hole.
Rogers HTC One X / EVITA / HBOOT 2.14. / 2.4 TWRP initially, now 2.6 / Unlocked boot loader / s-on
1. Started trying to flash AOKP 4.2.2. Flashed boot.img, then followed with TWRP recovery. All I could get was the language screen and then it stalled. Tried numerous iterations of this with various wipes and flash first and flash after.
2. Next tried Viper 3.2.7. All good till it gets to startup screen then it stops (I understand Viper has its boot.img installed to start not needing it flashed).
3. While trying various wipes to see if it would install completely I mistakenly did a factory reset! Now no OS! No Nandroid! No ROM.zip!
4. To get a ROM on SDCard tried ADB sideload thru TWRP. after running script it says unable to mount SDCARD! Suggests I reboot system! Now a little leery of rebooting for fear it will not.
5. Also tried to MOUNT HTV via TWRP on to laptop. Did not recognize said ti initialize. Formatted FAT 32 (via MAC). Now will not mount SD Card. I did drop Viper.zip into mount (cache and system OK) but can not find it using FILE MANAGER via TWRP
6. Now am in BOOTLOADER screen of Android. Thought I could flash a ROM but from what I read it does not look possible.
Can any one point me in the right direction to get this thing up and running. At this point, as much as I am learning all the time, it does me no good having my phone down for two weeks (sure glad I kept my Nexus One).
Any answer at this stage is a good answer and I appreciate all input!
Thanks

Sounds like you did a factory reset in bootloader which corrupts the sd card after unlocking the bootloader. You used to be able to just mount it on pc and format it but after the jb update I don't think that's possible due to the drive no longer being a mass storage device but an mtp device instead. There was a method to fix it developed by team nocturnal but it looks like the site is inaccessible right now. I'll see if there's a way to fix it and get back to you. Bear with me.
[/COLOR]By any chance have you tried wiping sd card in twrp 2.6?
Also, have done SuperCID yet?

SuperCID has not been done. It is S-ON presently.
I wiped SD Card as suggested. Saw it set up partitions. And now TWRP shows up when I mount . Can I just drop a ROM in and flash via TWRP? Any suggestions for a ROM. Could not get AOKP 4.2.2 to run or Viper 3.2.7.
Thanks for the quick assist at getting it to MOUNT.
Flash a stock sense rom and then fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom. Then use jet to downgrade hboot and SuperCID and then s-off. It'll save you lots of headaches.

It all sounds simple when you say it.
I will find a stock sense ROM to install then follow with boot.img.
Is it necessary to wipe anything more then Dalvik and Cache?
Thanks again.

In twrp 2.6 the factory reset wipes everything except sd card and system. You don't have to wipe system but I always do when I'm flashing a new rom.
