CWM recovery 6.0.1.0 was not actually wiping my partitions before I flashed new ROM's I found out recently after installing TWRP. Eventually (after a few ROM installs) my phone started bootlooping and hanging a lot, so I wiped everything in CWM and attempted another flash. Now the sdcard portion of the internal memory seems to be corrupted, and it won't mount or be written to when I flash (via fastboot or CWM).
Any tools you know of that can help me format or repartition the internal MMC so I can try to flash it again? Or at least get it back to stock form to turn it in to the Sprint store and see if they will help me. Maybe it is physically damaged, but I am leaning towards corrupted.
Sounds like a job for Odin.

Do that, and if you have the means, try to check out the external sd on some other device to see what's going on. I'd start with pulling the battery for a bit and try flashing the backup again.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong but if you didn't flash anything because of misfiling xboarder's rom, there was no reason to use the backup in the first place.

Where did you put your nandroid - internal or external SD? They would have been determined by the recovery option you chose - Internal or External SD. Your stock ROM would download the Xboarder ROM to internal in any case, but your nandroid location depends on the choice above.
Since you did a total wipe, you do not have a ROM installed, so you will not be able to boot up, but you DO NOT have a brick.
You could flash the Recovery again with the Oneclick Recovery tool and choose internal, and then you could flash the Xboarder ROM. After that, see if you can find your backup (in the clockworkmod folder).

I didn't know that a wipe from cwm clears out the rom. I only ever wiped before flashing something else so I assumed it was more like a factory reset.

As far as I know, the wipe data/factory reset is exactly that.
There's also a wipe system function, which wipes the entire ROM also. It seems he did that also.
As for fixing the phone, what gaww said haha. If xboarder's mod isn't there, then in recovery while the phone is plugged in, mount the sd card, and put a rom on there using windows explorer or whatever, then disconnect and you should be able to flash it.

Boot into recovery, go down to mount, and mount usb. Then find the file on your internal sd and move it over to the external sdcard. I have had to do that a few times when I forgot to move the file.
WTF is going on, why has this (in the history of this phone) apparently never been asked? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here, just trying to flash a simple rom.
i can access mine through CWM.
yes yes, the only thing i noticed that is different on this phone is that when i make a nandroid it puts it on my external sd instead of my internal but it still sees my internal.
If cwm is not recognising the internal sd card....you have a corrupt partition. You need to odin
Stock. Tar boot into stock recovery wipe data/cache 3 times each reboot. Then root/ flash cwm recovery back onto the phone and then wipe and flash your rom

Are you getting this message after you root the device? I had this same issue and realize I needed to first root the device, open ROM manager to give it root access then reboot. After that it was OK.

This............^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
hello, last week i bricked my tf300, this is what happened...
i installed the energy rom along with the 4.2.1 bootloader, i was already using twrp 2.4.3.0 and it seemed to work fine for a while but then i had problems with a double screen after trying a different rom (cant remember which) anyway i tried the usual resets and wipes to to fix it but no joy. I then used the wipe data in bootloader thinking a full clean wipe would sort it but it just booted straight into twrp.
in twrp nothing will mount apart from system, ive used fastboot to flash various stock blobs, proper twrp img etc but even tho fastboot said everything flashed ok, i still boot into the old twrp which wont mount anything apart from system.
i then got an old 8 gig sd card and put stock roms and energy rom on root of the sd card , in twrp i mounted system but cant mount cache, data or sd card but strangely, i was able to copy the above roms from the sd card and move them to the mounted system partition which i was then able to install the energy rom with aroma installer , happy days i thought until after installation it rebooted straight to twrp again asking for password?
when i try to install stock roms by the above method it fails because cache isnt mounted. i think the twrp is corrupted, how do i fix this?
could someone with the know how tell me what im doing wrong,? should i full wipe again? should i wipe the twrp and how do i do this?
i am sort of a newb to this and any advice would be great
I have a phone HTC Desire S
like a year ago I rooted it. Revolutionary method I think...
Well been playing with roms cyanogen etc
Yesterday installed Andromadus 10.1. It was great but the phone rebooted on its own and got stuck on the Cyanogen loading screen I rebooted and it happened again.
I went into recovery and now it says the E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command error :/
Can you guys help me fix this phone?
what details do you need?
I don't know if that error is about SD card or internal memory but have you tried booting without SD card? I think its probably internal memory, but maybe a dodgy SD card would cause that.
Failing that, can you not fully get into recovery to reflash the device? If the recovery partition is corrupt I think you'll need to reflash the custom recovery via adb fastboot command.
Edit: also maybe the cache partition is corrupt and needs formatting
For some reason, out of the blue, I cannot read/write//mount my internal storage. I installed an unofficial version of CarbonRom on my Verzion M8 and everything was PERFECT! I created a Nandroid Backup of the way I had my CarbonRom setup and installed CHECKM8's aosp kernel to see if it would boot. It did boot, but was crashing all over the place. So naturally I went back into recovery to just restore my backup and all my internal data was gone. I've tried many things and I haven't been able to get my data to mount again.
HELP! As my phone sits right now, its a brick.
Basically, how do I restore access/mountability of the /data?
I tried fastboot erase userdata but it can't mount the data to erase it.
Going to try flashing the stock RUU and see if that'll do it. Currently downloading.
This happened to me also and I flashed the RUU but even after that data still doesnt mount. Did you find a solution
I had the same thing happen to me and with multiple flashes it just fixed itself. I had some ROMs saved to ext SD which saved me.
