I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.
If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.
Rev
Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.
If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851657
Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps
Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!
Hey all,
I stumbled into an issue a few days ago and I'm trying to figure out how to get it resolved with minimum headache.
I downloaded the latest CyanogenMod download from h8rift's get.cm website, but unfortunately I didn't notice that it was CM9 rather than CM10 until I had flashed it and the boot animation popped up.
I didn't have a CM10 zip saved to my SD card partition, and TWRP, for some reason, would not mount to USB on either my Mac or my PC. The phone wouldn't boot into CM9, so I couldn't download the zip from there either.
So, I hit 'factory reset'.. twice, both from the bootloader, and from TWRP. Well, no luck. Now the file browser in TWRP doesn't even show my SD card's contents, just the TWRP folder. Every time I see a command line in TWRP, it tells me the SD card couldn't be mounted.
So, crap. Are all my files gone? I didn't realize factory resetting wipes the phone. I have all my photos on the SD card partition as well as a somewhat recent Titanium backup, so I'd really, really, really not like to lose those.
I understand that running a RUU will probably fix my issue, but the thing is, on the off chance that my SD card contents are still around, I'd like to be able to keep them. Will running a RUU wipe the SD card, if it still is in there somewhere? Are there any other suggestions re: getting the phone to boot, or be recognized as a USB disk? Also, if I do end up RUUing, I assume I have to unlock the bootloader again. Sigh, that was a hassle the first time.
tl;dr I'm complaining about a lot of stuff that I'll probably have to do anyways because I did something stupid and wasn't smart enough to keep backups, but if anyone wants to give pointers that'll make this process easier I will kiss your shoes and worship you forever.
Thanks.

Oops, here is the full url:

So I just managed to boot into CyanogenMod 9, without actually doing anything.
So it boots but can't mount the SD card. I have no idea either. Any way to mount the SD card without relocking bootloader?
Have you tried to access your sd card with a file manager app like solid explorer to see if anything is still on the card?
Sent from my Nocturnalized One XL using Forum Runner
Factory reset from the bootloader appears to wipe the sdcard and leave it in an unformatted state. I did this yesterday and fixed it by letting the phone boot back into the sense rom I was running.
Not quite sure what you can do in CM9. Have you tried connecting to your computer and seeing if windows detects a valid drive? If it doesn't maybe let windows format it, yeah I don't like this idea either, so you can at last get some files on it.
I had a similar problem after flashing a nocturnal update...
Here's what I did to resolve:
Wipe all - SD card, factory reset (all can be done inside TWRP)...then plug your phone into your computer via usb and on your phone in TWRP main screen, navigate to Mount and select USB storage. It WILL show up on your computer as unformatted - just reformat (which will wipe it again) and then let you copy files in. Just download the latest CM10 (which is working great) and flash away...
I am using a Mac computer running win xp via parallels and it worked great - I don't remember what file structure to format the SD card as, but it was the default when it brought up the format dialogue...
Hope that helps!

Ok, I've spent about 8 hours on this and read a million forum topics, flashed everything upside down, five ways to sunday and now and I'm giving up:
I have adb, fastboot usb, unlock code, TWRP, HTC sync all working (as far as I can tell)
I successfully loaded AOKP latest build onto an external SD card, installed it with TWRP and it will get to the loading animation, where it loads permanently and will not complete.
My assumption is that it is trying to mount the sdcard and data folders and cannot, I believe this because in TWRP, I get error messages saying "E:/ unable to mount /data" and the same for /sdcard.
I successfully updated TWRP with a recovery image to 2.3.3.0, which did not seem to help, but it is functioning and I can get to it reliably.
at teamw.in/project/twrp2/66
I tried chmod 755 for the data and sdcard folders, but they don't mount so it appears that is not taking hold.
I have wiped and erased pretty much everything (probably too much, in frustration).
So now I can have a bootloader, TWRP, or a spinning unicorn logo, but my phone won't do anything else.
I'm stuck. Can anyone figure out why I am hanging at the loader or what I'm doing wrong?
I appreciate the help in advance

According to the rest of it,there should be no reason for the ROM failure.

It says "revolutionary" at the top of the bootloader
ok, I did the 4EXT thing, copied, wrote over the image, flash rebooted and the phone cycled, and up pops my spinning unicorn gears as before. Still spinning....and spinning....I waited 5 minutes.
Is there some way to check into the mount permissions or something? Could I have messed that up and that is why it won't finish loading? This whole unable to mount /data thing?
More ideas?

Hi,
Sorry,it is not clear.
Did 4EXT install?
Or does the spinning occur when you try to load a ROM?
Next thing I would suggest is to back up your sd card,format it to FAT32,and replace all your stuff.
Do not worry about the Android files.They will be installed when you load the card.
Format all partitions (except sd card)
Download a ROM,place it on the root of your sd card,check the md5 checksum,then,run it.
Yes 4EXT installed.
It said "error could not mount sdcard" but booted anyway
In 4EXT it still won't mount /data or /sdcard I do see that the SDcard is formatted as FAT 32
I'm a little confused, you said to format sdcard to fat32, but your next line says to format all partitions except sdcard?
When youi say you did the whole 4EXT thing, do you mean you installed AOKP using 4EXT Recovery?
If you can boo tinto 4EXT right now you will find a mounts menu that will allow you to mount and unmount just about everything.
You MAY see that the internal storage and SD card are already mounted. Unmount them and remount them. If that doesn't work unmount them, reboot into recovery, then remount them. 4EXT is pretty powerful and handles mounting pretty well.
I don't believe you deleted too much off the phone. I simply don't believe it. It's posisble to do that, but you wouldn't have access to the recovery module. If you can boot to 4EXT I am certain this is fixable.

Because you want to format everything and there is no option to format everything. You have to do everything internally and then do the SD card separately. It's to prevent you from accidentally screwing yourself up.
But actually before you format the internal memory, take the SD card out and try to boot. See what happens. It's possible that your SD card has an error that is causing the boot loop. Take it out and see if you boot all the way to the android home screen. If so, your ROM is installed. Just format the SD card after that and it should work.
Ok, booting into 4EXT and going to the mounts menu, when I hit "mount /sdcard" or "mount /data" it gives me an "error mounting..." message. I can mount and unmount system and cache though. I think that's the issue...any way to make those mountable again?
I will format everything and see if that helps...
Nope, it won't allow me to format my sdcard, since it is not mountable. Other partitions formatted with the exception of /sdcard/.android-secure since sdcard will not mount. I don't have an external sdcard in at the moment...should I put one in to do all this? I assumed /sdcard is the internal memory, no?
Toggle usb storage also gives me an error message " E: unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory) Unable to connect to your (internal?) sdcard. If that helps understand the situation at all
Thanks for the glimmer of hope with "I am certain this is fixable"

Hi,
Yes.
These are 2 separate instructions.
Format all partitions (except sd card) is something you will find in 4EXT.
It should be used to clean your phone before a fresh install.
Format to FAT 32 is something I suggested you do to your sd card,in case it has some error or other,which may be preventing you from flashing a ROM.
In any case,try the mount/unmount thing that Skipjacks suggested first

Ok, as before, I could not format sdcard due to being unmountable. /data is now mountable though, that's progress!
It seems the internal sdcard being unmountable is the crux of the problem. Cannot format or repartition or mount internal sdcard.

Hi,
2 choices:
1.Use a card reader
2.Use another card
I would suggest number 1
It can then be formatted in your PC (better than on the phone)
And it is an extremely useful tool.(quicker data transfer)

Hi,
OK.
I got the wrong end of the stick.
Why are you using internal?
To load a ROM,place it on the root of your external sd card.
When you choose/select ROM to flash in recovery,that is where the phone looks.
Not in the internal.

Ok, well I did not want to do the RUU if I could avoid it.
I think somehow, magically, you guys have helped me fix it. I took your suggestion of not trying to load a ROM onto the internal memory and just leaving it on external micro SD and leaving the external in while I run. (too scared to take it out after 24 hours of tinkering) But it is running now! Thank goodness.
Some combo of wiping and formatting with 4EXT in addition to my change in installation method (although I tried this same method yesterday to no avail) has solved the problem.
Thanks to the both of you! Real heartfelt thanks as well as forum button thanking.
I accidentally hit the FACTORY RESET option in HBOOT, and it seems the phone just rebooted into TWRP without doing anything. However it seems my SDcard is now empty and unformatted. Earlier I had two "Internal SDcard" options in TWRP\Mount but now I just have one, and if I try to click on Mount USB storage, the removable disk appears as an unformatted disk on my PC. Is there any to fix this? Is the SD gone for good or can I recover the data?
Run a Ruu and your phone should be fine again (dont forget to relock your bootloader)
I think your data you wiped is hopelessy gone..

I made a nandroid luckily, but I just realised that the problem is due to the sdcard not actually being able to mount. It says
E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
I'm using TWRP 2.5, maybe I will try with 2.3.1.0.
EDIT: Okay that didn't help. If I run a RUU won't it erase my SD card? I don't want to lose what's on there, is there any way to fix it and be able to mount it again?

before going through the trouble of an RUU, if you can see the unformatted disk from your computer just try formatting it there into a FAT32 partition like you would any other drive. This has worked for folks successfully. But as for data recovery....
Dang that sucks... was there some sort of confirmation before starting the wipe? I've always been paranoid that I might fat finger it randomly and it just wipes without some kind of second check
Reflash the recovery img from fastboot then boot into recovery, you should be able to mount sd
Zero help to anyone, but I did exactly the same thing myself and had to mount the SD card in recovery and format.
It hurts!!
Well it's official. All my data is forever gone. And no there was no notification, I hit "FACTORY RESET", and it just paused for a second then rebooted into TWRP with my SD instantly destroyed. I tried every possible trick in the book. The problem for me wasn't just getting it to mount and work again, I could have done that in 20 seconds. The problem was to try and get it back WITH all my data, which I failed.
In the end, I made a RAW disk image backup of the sd card partition which for some bizarre reason ended up with a file that was 6 MB in size instead of 10 GB... I knew my data had somehow got nuked. I decided to just reformat it (Quick Format) as FAT32 on the PC, then I ran a host of data recovery programs, even those that were specialised in finding stuff from formatted drives. None of them could even find ONE file. But after format I was able to use it as normal.
I have really no clue how the entire drive was nuked within a fraction of a second, even all the data on it, but it is what it is.
On the bright side, for some reason my phone seems MUCH faster now, especially when installing apps, and the battery seems to last noticeably longer too.

It's hard to do recover because normal format recovery might not work but you can try the old ver of Easy Recovery Pro 6.x(I don't know why but the lastest ver seems removed RAW recovery) and use the RAW recovery, it usually could find some stuffs. You can also try out Diskgenius.
Hey. I was tryna install custom ROM on my device. The first time i installed TWRP on my phone it asks for a encrytion key. But since idk what the hell was that and i thought it might be a bug, I tried installing TWRP again and this time it doesnt require a key no more. And here's the weird thing, in TWRP when i look at the select storage it shows the correct size of my sd card and internal storage just fine. but i cant see the rom files either on my internal storage or sd card. I put the files on both storage but it just doesnt seem to read my files in there. I'm pretty sure i have enabled usb debugging and i have unlocked the bootloader. any suggestions on what else to do here? i have done wiping everything for few times too.
now i am stuck with a bricked device. can someone please tell me what mistake i did or what to do? :/

Hey. I was tryna install custom ROM on my device. The first time i installed TWRP on my phone it asks for a encrytion key. But since idk what the hell was that and i thought it might be a bug, I tried installing TWRP again and this time it doesnt require a key no more. And here's the weird thing, in TWRP when i look at the select storage it shows the correct size of my sd card and internal storage just fine. but i cant see the rom files either on my internal storage or sd card.

on the twrp main menu select wipe, and there are 2 choices, advance wipe and format data...
Data format makes all data stored in internal storage erased, so maybe you need to back up

if you have 'format data'... the 'internal storage' is erased so you will not see your own zip file in internal storage...
try use this...

but i suppose, the sd card should be able to show the files right? since only the phone's storage was wiped and the sd card also has my zip files. but in this case my sd card shows none.

Most probably you need to mount sdcard. See "Mount" on twrp. If sdcard not checked, check it.
