From my bootloader I did a factory reset.
It wiped my SD card and it will no longer mount.
I can get into recovery, but I can not mount the SD card to put a rom on it.
I did a fastboot flash of the boot.img but that is as far as I can get.
How do I fix/mount the SD card and push a ROM to it so I can flash it?

After booting into CWM recovery, I tried to flash a rom but it was deleted off of my externel SD drive (Because I didn't know format /system includes it). Anyway, what's weird is that I was still able to boot to recovery because my CWM files were on the Externel SD card along with my backups. I confirmed this by trying to boot into CWM Recovery after taking out the Ext. SD card; did not work. Then I put my SD card into my computer via an SD card adapter and it said my Externel SD card had 7,789MB/7,789 MB free. Can someone explain this phenomenon? Thank you!~
P.S. The Rom is good to go now, I'm just curious as to where the hell my CWM files went.

How did you flash it? What were the steps you made?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
I used the NVflash volume down and power. I formated and wiped everything possible. When I took the Ext. SD card out and put the EB froyo rom on it via my computer. Tried to boot into recovery to no avail; phone was bricked. put the ext sd card back in, was able to boot into recovery with cwm and the EB rom was there and so I installed it.
Which recovery image did you originally flash and what method did you use to flash it?
the one everyone's been telling me to. oneclickrecovery or something nvflash cwm i dunno. the image was after I rooted and after I removed Nova. The next time I flashed an image was after flashing EBFroyo.

I think their point is that you probably flashed CWM to your external card, which is an option in the flasher.
Hello!
I would like to complet wipe my SD card.
I'm running offical ICS 4.0.3 with Team win recovery 2.0
I see that there is a wipe -> SD card and also SD ext
What will happen if I press the wipe SD card? SD ext?
I want to completly wipe my device and than install Android Code name + Matr1x
what will be the steps of complete SD card wipe?
Thanks!
A quickway is to boot into fastboot and type
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock
That will completely wipe your SD card/factory reset.
and then just mount SD copy the ROM and flash?
So for what the WIPE SD CARD stand for in the recovery?
Since you plan on using CNA, look through the first few posts, you will find links for Dalvik wiper and ROM wiper from Brainmaster.
There are many ways to do the same thing, like the post earlier, using ADB to clean the SD card, you can also mount and format your partitions, or you can use the above zip files from recovery to do the same thing.
I wanted to wipe my phone entirely and start clean before installing Virtuous Inq but I messed up somehow and now my SD Card won't mount. I had MIUI running on my HTC Sensation.
Here's what I did to my phone today -
1. First I copied my entire SD card to my computer.
2. Next I formated my SD card and deleted everything on my phone.
3. Then I went into Clockwork and Wiped Date/Factory reset.
I was hoping it would bring me to Stock but that didn't happen. It just reset MIUI. Then when I tried to mount my SD it just says I can remove even when I click mount.
Anyone know what I can do?

I suspect the problem was in the formatting of your SD card. For the phone to mount it you probably need it formatted as FAT32. Did you format using a computer? Win/Mac/Linux?

This is the same SD card that I got w/ the Sensation. I never had to format or do anything to it.
OK, but you said in your original post that you formatted the SD card (item 2). If you formatted the SD card using a filesystem other than FAT32 (e.g. NTFS or HFS+) then your phone won't be able to mount it - that was what came to mind.
Have you tried to remount it using adb?
CODE: mount -o rw,remount -t /sdcard

Please see the above thread. I think the trick may be you need to insert the formatted sd card into the phone while its running VI.

Well I formatted the SD card with MIUI I thought that would wipe it clean so I start a new basically. Apparently that wasn't the case.

I don't have a Micro SD Card Reader. Does that mean I have no other options?
Bump. Character Limit.
What ROM recovery are using right now. If you are using 4EXT Recovery it have format tools on the recovery. If CWM wipe the sd card is same as format. Or you can't just mount the card using ROM recovery and format on PC.
I had the same problem with the SD card. Formatting in CWM didn't help.
Resolved it by these steps:
1. Format the new SD card with fat32 on pc.
2. Switch off the phone and remove the battery.
3. Insert the new SD and the battery back.
4. Power on in recovery mode (volume down+power).
5. Find "Partition SD card" and partition it with 64KB (CWM will partition the SD to 4GB). It should do the Mounting.
6. Reboot the phone normally.
7. Go to Settings>Storage. It should be showing 4GB free space on SD.
8. In storage options pick "Unmount SD card" and then pick "Erase SD card" in same menu, Don't remove the card from phone!!! , it shoud bring SD back to original storage.
9. Mount SD back and copy back the data from the original SD.
Hope it'll be heplful.
Hi
I wanted to install ROM from SD Card, but it doesn't show in the recovery. What could be the reason?

Make sure that you have the recovery for the correct phone and that sd card is formatted with ext/2/3/4 or fat32
I was installing a rom and for some reason it wiped my whole tablet. Now I only have twrp and cant get my PC to detect it to load a new rom. Any advice?
Take your SD card and put into card slot of PC. Load your rom.zip into the SD card. Reinsert into tablet, boot into recovery and install the rom.zip from the sd card.
