help! i have an htc one s and i tried to download a rom but when i downloaded it, it stops in the htc logo, i try to do the procedure again but it didint worked. now i cannot enter to recovery and i cant turn on my device. it says sd card cannot mount
you can flash stock recovery and then "clear storage" from bootloader. card should then be mountable
also, if you have an sdcard bu on pc, you could reformat card after you can mount. just to help with future issues

My SD card won't mount.
It is probably the sbf I'm using. I tried updating my stock rom to official 2.2.2, but when I booted up an SD card icon was in my status bar. When I go into "SD card & phone storage settings", the option to "Mount SD card" is there. But when I press it, it tries to prepare it, and tells me that it is "safe to remove". Back to where I was before.
I tried flashing to Nordic, and other ROMS, but no joy.
What do you recommend?
Should I factory reset when flashing?
Android system recovery doesn't show a problem of mounting the SD card fyi.
ALWAYS wipe before you flash an sbf! I do it from recovery and immediately pull battery and boot into bootloader to flash. I had this SD card issue once while playing with tons of various roms. It has something to do with address mappings being screwed up. I would wipe all from recovery and reflash sbf
Would this also help if I'm getting a sd card not mounted error ? It's mounted but only for a short time... then apps that access the sd card say it's not mounted/ inserted.
Take the card out and check for error's on a pc..
I formatted my sd card from cwr accidentally after I factory resetted the phone. Now my phone is bricked (white HTC screen) and recovery can't seem find the sd card. I can get to the bootloader and the recovery using the androidcontral 1.3 but since the recovery can't read the sd card I can't do anything. I tried the RUU but I get error less then 30% battery even though its fully charged. I tried to repartition the sd card but I don't know the ext size or the swap. I tried to copy the cleardroid zip to sd card and it seem to do it but the recovery can't find it. I tried to copy pd98img.zip to sd and use hboot but it doesn't seem to read it. Can anyone help?
I would try reformatting your card on a computer. Don't do the quick format if your in windows unchecked that. Make sure it formats to fat32. Put the pd98img.zip on and try again. Your card may have crapped out too try another one if you have it handy. Also while in recovery try mounting and unmounting the SD a couple times under mounts and storage

My sd card is fried. I tried loading it on my pc with no luck. I am planning to go and get another one. However, will the phone still boot without the system files that were on the sd card? If not how can I fix it.
Thanks
"If your problem is that you cannot mount the SDCard (as opposed to being able to mount it but it is empty) I ran into something similar during my 2nd ROM flashing experience. I got into this state by doing a factory wipe from the bootloader screen (as opposed to doing it from recovery). This wiped my entire SDCard partition, even the filesystem on it. So when I booted into Android, it failed to mount the SDCard altogether, saying that it was corrupted.
I had to re-format the SDCard from Windows in order to recover, by doing the following:
1. Boot into recovery (for me was TWRP 2.1.8.1)
2. Select "Mount"
3. Checkmark "Mount SDCard"
4. Connect device to PC via USB cable
5. Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP
6. On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"
7. Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)
8. Safely remove the USB storage from Windows
9. Reboot the device
Upon rebooting, the SDCard mounted fine, although all data was erased."

Will this work for me if i get a fresh sd card and follow these steps?
yes, but, make sure you uninstall all apps from the sd card before you insert the new microsd

Well, yes im hoping to get a new fresh sd card with nothing in it. Another thing, I removed the fried sd card and now the phone is booting. I hope it continues with a new sd card in it.
with my SD card in my phone and when am in twrp recovery mode i am unable to select it as an option to mount it.
it works in my other phones and on my computer
it is formated in FAT32
i cannot find any other fourms that can solve this.
please help!
Which device?
I have the FRD-L14 which I managed to unlock the bootloader and all. Anyways, something must have gone wrong, not it wont boot, so I'm trying to go back to stock ROM for it (found a version off the net).
Put the ZIP onto an SD Card (Formated to FAT32), and get into TWRP 3.0.2-0, which won't see the external SD (no mount option).
What do I do?
I can't mount the phone to the computer either since the computer doesn't recognize it as a device.
Thanks!
