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
try this links:

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

You can't use my root zip until you have installed Clockworkmod Recovery first as instructed in my thread you referenced and many other threads. If you read the threads regarding recovery you will see the newest version of Clockwordmod that the One Click Flasher installs support the external sd card.
Also, I am sure you other phone is not bricked. It is almost virtually impossible to brick this phone. Put in in APX mode, install the newest Clockworkmod, boot into recovery and wipe, wipe, wipe everything and then flash a new rom or go back to stock with one of the zips available for download on this forum.
Is not recognizing my external Sd. I am running CM9. Everything was working fine for a week. All of suddenly no SD card recognition .
Is there a step or steps for me to correct this problems. I want to go back to the Stock Exhibit rom, but has been unable to do so. I am at a lost, I have no idea what to do. In other word my phone and I am screwed. There a bevy of problems I have created and do not know how to correct them. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Thank You in advance.
This is part of the risk you assume when you play around with roms. If you are not willing to assume that risk, then don't play around with things.
If your card is not being detected, make a backup of your card to your computer and format the sd card. Then copy the contents back once the card is recognised. If that is not working, then buy a new sd card and try with that one. It's quite unlikely that you phone has a broken sd card reader.
Not Recognizing my Sd Card
I assumed the risk, and I am not blaming anyone. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

I asked for advice about why my phone was not recognizing my SD card. I appreciate your suggestion. I accept all responsibility for what happened to my phone as I was playing around with things. It is not the end of the world, if I cannot get it back to recognizing the SD card or when it is connected to the USB. I will and can continue to use it as it is running CM9. Just wanted to return it to stock; so that I could play around with it again and flash a new custom rom to it. I am not deterred because of this one hiccup.
I thank you for that I have formatted the SD, tried another one and still no regonition. It can be the worst case scenario my sd card reader could be shot but I did learned how to flash and root, install a custom rom...no regrets there. Thak You for your help.
Hopefully you had made a nandroid backup of the stock rom after you had (again hopefully) installed recovery.
If that is the case then you can boot into recovery and restore the stock rom nandroid backup. If you do not have that, then things will get more complicated. You'll have to find a stock nandroid backup for that specific phone+carrier from somewhere and load it back while in recovery. If you don't have recovery, you'll have to push that on first while your phone is connected to the computer via usb.
I got it back by flashing stock via ODIN
I am back with the stock rom. Much thanks to all the people at XDA for posting questions and answers for the same problems I was having. I just kept reading question and answers forum pertaining to the Exhibit and I finally found the answers; of course nothing was easy after the ODIN download, the phone was in a rebooting loop. Someone had the same problem and I found the answer. I tried the solution and the phone booted up perfectly. I will give myself a week and then I will root it again and install one of the custom roms for The Exhibit 2. But now I am too tired and so glad to have my phone back as it was when I got it via Tmobile.
Thank you and everyone for your help and explaining it in terms whereas a person like myself came solve his/her problems.

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.
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!
Hi
I bought some electronics at an auction and there was a Asus TF101 included in the lot. After reading about the unit I thought it would be great for personal use. I ordered a charger online an I tried it but it gets stuck at the boot screen. If I try switching it off it just switches back on. I think this is a botched root job but I don't know what the previous owner did. I doubt it is hardware related though. It has Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.1.3 installed and can boot into the recovery but honestly I am a bit lost at what to do next.
Attempts to wipe the data etc to reset the device has all failed. It seems it needs to be flashed so any help will be appreciated. While I am at it I was thinking of going for one of the newer roms here on XDA available for the device.
Update: I wiped the user data and got the unit reset but now it boots straight into the clockworkmod app
Thanks!

Since you have Clockwork installed and recovery is booting, look here.

I did see that and I have done some more reading since I posted here. Will I be able to upgrade from Clockwork to TWRP 2.8. if the unit doesn't boot?
Also I got an error saying that the sdcard cannot be mounted. I know this is the internal storage and not the actual sd card.

I believe I flashed mine that way. If you have just wiped storage that is the normal error. I would give it go

That one worry less, was worried something hardware wise was faulty.
This may sound like a stupid question (definitely newbie question) but if I cant access the internal storage how am I going to copy TWRP onto the internal storage and run the install from clockwork?

Sorry it has been a long time since I used Clockwork, but does it not see the external removable sd card? Or try the adb push method if the CM version will support.

I then Used Kisskat 4.4.4 here at XDA forums to flash the Unit. Lollipop was not happy with the older version of TWRP
