So I have been using Hassoon 2000's HTC One X All-in-One Kit to unlock the boatloader, flash TWRP 2.3.1.0 recovery, and finally install the latest version of "Clean ROM."
I tried a couple times before and after flashing the rom to boot into the white bootloader by powering on while holding the power button but it didn't seem to work so I have been using Hassoon2000's tool to send a command to boot into bootloader.
I "successfully" installed Clean ROM but it kept cycling "Unfortunately process com.android.com stopped" or something very similar, and then it would reboot and try it again. BEFORE doing this I wiped the cache and dalvik cache but that was it.
SO, I rebooted into TWRP and tried wiping everything. Cache, Dalvik Cache, and System worked but Factory Reset, External Storage, and Android Secure all say "FAILED."
So then I went into "mount" which prompted Windows to open a Window that said "You need to format the disk in drive x: before you can use it." I have NOT clicked "format disk" because I'm not sure what it is formatting. Before hitting "Mount USB Storage" there are 4 buttons to check 1) Mount System, 2) Mount Data, 3) Mount Cache, and 4) Mount SD Card. I can get the first 3 to check and say "Unmount" but I CANNOT get the SD card to "check."
Now that I've gone back into into Install it shows /sdcard and there is only one folder there which is TWRP. So I no longer have my "cleanrom.zip" on there because the SD has somehow been wiped. I guess when I wiped System it also wiped the SD card because the first time I installed cleanrom, I don't think it deleted the SD card.
Now I am scared to exit TWRP before know how to get a custom rom .zip BACK onto the sdcard so I can, you know, have a rom to boot into since mine has been wiped.
So that is the first problem. The second will hopefully be resolved (the com.android.phone problem) once I re-flash because when I searched the forums for the same error everyone recommended to wipe everything and I had only wiped the cache and dalvik cache...
Any help please...?

Let your computer recognize your phone, bring up"my computer" and right click on removable storage. Hit "format" only bad thing you'll be wiped out. Once it formats, mount in recovery. Download a fresh copy of cleanrom to your comp, and drag it to phone. Flash entire cleanrom 5.1 through twrp.
Now you back on a stable rom to work with.
If you try anything else you'll have to use flash GUI app or fastboot kernels

CheesyNutz: Thanks for pointing that out, I really did not see that sticky so I won't ask anymore questions in General...
InflatedTitan: Thanks for the help. When you say "mount in recovery" does that mean I will need to do the Power on with Volume Up trick? Or will I remain in TWRP? That's the only thing I'm afraid of is not being able to get back into bootloader or TWRP...
I've always flashed roms through CWR (and now TWRP) so I am not very familiar with the "manual" way. (i.e. I'm lazy.)

I'm not sure I follow... Your saying when you plug the phone in, computer won't recognize it as a removable storage? But you DO have the rom zip on your sdcard?
Are you in sense jellybean or aosp? Sense jellybean won't prompt you to mount and transfer files automatically...
What exactly is the problem bro?

For some reason HTC took the option to mount and transfer files easily. Its faster now to boot into twrp to transfer :/

Don't forget to flash boot.img in fastboot before/after flashing the ROM if you were from 2.20 firmware.

Hi all,
My evita was a bit slow so I performed a factory reset from the bootloader... stupid idea as it removed the OS (ROM) from my SD. I tried to push a ROM in the device, it said it was successful but there is still nothing on my SD card.
In the bootloader adb is not detecting my phone, fastboot is working though. Sideload is not working.
When i try to wipe anything from TRWP it says : it says "failed to mount 'sdcard' (invalid argument)"

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.

Edit -- azzledazzle already provided correct link -- apologies for double post
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.
I was running CM10
Just use TWRP. Thats it.

I tried this after a whole night of trying to fix my phone and instant fix it mounted as soon as I formatted from computer using use mount. Thank u a ton.
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..
what i had done was created a backup of the current rom i was using AOKP, to try another rom. i tried to restore back to AOKP using the back up but i kept on getting stuck in the unicorn bootup and it was just continually looping. I tried a few different things but still nothing worked.
I boot up into the bootloader and i accidentally did a factory reset from there and it wiped my entire sd card clean. so right now, im stuck without a working rom but i can still boot into TWRP recovery.
The very big problem right now is that i cannot mount the SD to my computer.
I kept getting this error as i was trying to restore to aokp too "E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)"
im not sure what is wrong with my sd card. it wont mount to my comp so i can transfer a rom there to flash. any help or ideas? thank you
Edit* i dont think twrp can read the SD. :'(

Factory reset will not wipe user data on the sd, you must have done something else. Relock the boot loader, reflash he relevant Ruu to go back to stock then start all over again

Try updating TWRP to 2.2.0
Download it, reboot device into the boot loader, go into fastboot using volume keys and power to select, rename the TWRP .img file to TWRP and put it into your ADB directory then fire up ADB and type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" reboot then try to mount. If I were a betting man I'd guess it will fix it.

Download twrp recovery IMG and flash it through fast boot to get recovery back.. Then go to boot loader select fast boot again and run cmd OEM relock and as long as you are using an ruu with the same or higher hboot you have currently have it will work.. If it doesn't then you need a different ruu...again the ruu needs to be same or higher than hboot version currently installed..

also, i tried installing RUU's and they all failed in the same place :"signicher failled"
i noticed that there was a website where i could download all the original RUU's but is has shutted down for some reason...
BTW if there are any files i need to download could you please post the link cuz i have no idea where to look... if you cant post the link for some reason could you please post the full name of the file?
So I have advanced and now im in this situation:

X Unmount Cache
O Mount SD Card
My computer sees the phone as removble and askes me if i want to format it!
Should I format or should do something else?

Format it then again install recovery through fast boot.. On your PC pick and download a custom rom.. Open zip and extract boot.IMG file to PC in the location of your fast boot..boot phone into recovery mount SD ( it will mount fine after you format and re flash recovery ) move ROM zip to SD card... Boot back to fast boot this time open terminal type...fastboot flash boot boot.img... When done do... Fastboot wipe cache.... Then boot to recovery wipe every thing except SD card 3 times and install ROM zip.. After process is complete wipe only both caches one time... Reboot and you'll be good to go...

Basically I can't go into USB fastboot or mount USB storage in TWRP. In recovery I kept getting these errors:
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard/ (tw_mount)
E: Failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)
I'm reading somewhere that I should't have done a factory reset in the bootloader, but somewhere along the way I wiped my sdcard so I have nothing to flash in my phone..
Basically all this started happening after I dropped my phone in the afternoon while it was charging. It worked fine for a while, but then it hanged then started bootlooping, so I did the factory reset. I'm seriously hoping it's not a hardware issue.. My USB cable was functional the last time I used it to flash stuff, and it can still be used to charge the phone, so..
I was on 2.20, S-on, TWRP 2.2 and was running rohan32's b7 kernel and KK m1 rom. Haven't been here in a while since everything was working fine..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What the heck, this questions has been asked like 3 times today.
Connect the phone to a Windows PC, open Device Manager. There you should have the option to format. Format as FAT32, and this should fix the SD card corruption.
Factory reset in hboot corrupts the SD. Only factory reset in TWRP.
Yeah I read that too. I would if I could but my PC isn't detecting my phone. fastboot devices, adb devices show nothing too.
Since that's that I'm gonna just hope it's just that my usb cable got damaged when I dropped it or something, get another cable and give it a try in a few hours.
Adb will only detect if you are in recovery or fully booted and fastboot will work well yeah that's obvious when

You can boot to recovery but not Fastboot? Can you use TWRP to reboot the phone into the bootloader, have you tried that?
I had a similar problem, I ended up using Evita toolkit to update TWRP to the latest 2.4.2.0 version: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
Then I could use Mount option to mount the External Storage again, dumped my choice of ROM onto it and flash it.
hello there
i had the exact same problem as the author of this post except i used CleanROM5.1 (everything else the same)
my phone started rebooting faster and faster in look until it wouldnt get past the logo screen
i have tried every trick in this forum no success
came down to this post which seemed to look the best, as i seem to have the same problem of SDCARD not being recognized by phone
so i plugged it to the laptop on TWRP recovery and formatted the card
no success
PS.. i used a Mac to format the card, and it has the MS-DOS FAT option closest to the FAT32 sdcard filing system
are the 2 the same ? is that where my problem is? wrong file format when i formatted the card?
PLEASE HELP... I WORK IN A HOSPITAL AND ONCALL AND NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED ASAP TONIGHT!
That could be the problem... FAT is not the same as FAT32.

My problems started a couple days ago, when my phone wouldn't connect to my computer...I didn't get a connection sound, a pop up, or any kind of indication it was connected (nothing in device manager and I have the lastest drivers installed.) It's strange though, my phone charges via usb. I also tried two other computers and nothing worked. So I flashed a CM10.1 rom and I went to flash a theme and everything went wrong. I was stuck in a boot loop and I couldn't access my recovery (twrp 2.3.1) so i was forced to perform a factory reset via the bootloader. I did that, and my sd card became corrupt. It completely erased everything off my phone. I can now access my recovery but if I try to do anything (wipe, etc) I get "E:Unable to mount storage." I also can't mount USB Storage because my phone won't connect to any computer, so am I screwed? :.( If you can help, please help...your help will be greatly appreciated. I'm even willing to compensate...
I forgot to add...Fastboot and adb is also not working for me. I've literally tried everything to my knowledge.

Wipe your SDCARD in TWRP, then try mounting it.
For future reference, factory reset in bootloader corrupts the SD card if your bootloader is unlocked.

When I wipe the external storage I get E:Unable to mount '/sdcard' and I felt like that was my only option, I was stuck in a bootloop and I couldn't connect to a pc or access twrp.

Factory reset in bootloader is never an option if you're rooted/unlocked.

uninstall drivers/software for any and all phones on your PC
Install latest HTC sync
uninstall HTC sync, leave HTC drivers, then try and get a fastboot connection.

Try a linux live USB or a VM to get a fastboot connection. Trying to figure out what's interfering with fastboot could take forever. When you do get fastboot working. Flash twrp 2.6 and wipe your SD card with it.

Fastboot is still not working?
Is there any steps I can take that don't require me to connect to a pc?

Don't believe so, you'll need to use a PC in some way for this.

What did you decide on VM or Linux liveusb?
I know twrp 2.6 can wipe a corrupt SD card but maybe cwm can too? If so you might be able to use ROM manager? To flash cwm and use cwm to wipe SD?

I just don't understand why I can't connect to any pc, if I plug it in the usb it charges but that's it...could it be a hardware problem?

Doubt it. Try another PC?

When I try to wipe my sd card it says failed E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
How would I go about using ROM manager if I can't connect to a pc?
