[Q] Failed to install Custom Rom, now stuck in TWRP with no rom to flash.

So I have been using Hassoon 2000's HTC One X All-in-One Kit to unlock the boatloader, flash TWRP 2.3.1.0 recovery, and finally install the latest version of "Clean ROM."
I tried a couple times before and after flashing the rom to boot into the white bootloader by powering on while holding the power button but it didn't seem to work so I have been using Hassoon2000's tool to send a command to boot into bootloader.
I "successfully" installed Clean ROM but it kept cycling "Unfortunately process com.android.com stopped" or something very similar, and then it would reboot and try it again. BEFORE doing this I wiped the cache and dalvik cache but that was it.
SO, I rebooted into TWRP and tried wiping everything. Cache, Dalvik Cache, and System worked but Factory Reset, External Storage, and Android Secure all say "FAILED."
So then I went into "mount" which prompted Windows to open a Window that said "You need to format the disk in drive x: before you can use it." I have NOT clicked "format disk" because I'm not sure what it is formatting. Before hitting "Mount USB Storage" there are 4 buttons to check 1) Mount System, 2) Mount Data, 3) Mount Cache, and 4) Mount SD Card. I can get the first 3 to check and say "Unmount" but I CANNOT get the SD card to "check."
Now that I've gone back into into Install it shows /sdcard and there is only one folder there which is TWRP. So I no longer have my "cleanrom.zip" on there because the SD has somehow been wiped. I guess when I wiped System it also wiped the SD card because the first time I installed cleanrom, I don't think it deleted the SD card.
Now I am scared to exit TWRP before know how to get a custom rom .zip BACK onto the sdcard so I can, you know, have a rom to boot into since mine has been wiped.
So that is the first problem. The second will hopefully be resolved (the com.android.phone problem) once I re-flash because when I searched the forums for the same error everyone recommended to wipe everything and I had only wiped the cache and dalvik cache...
Any help please...?

I'll help you out

Let your computer recognize your phone, bring up"my computer" and right click on removable storage. Hit "format" only bad thing you'll be wiped out. Once it formats, mount in recovery. Download a fresh copy of cleanrom to your comp, and drag it to phone. Flash entire cleanrom 5.1 through twrp.
Now you back on a stable rom to work with.
If you try anything else you'll have to use flash GUI app or fastboot kernels

CheesyNutz: Thanks for pointing that out, I really did not see that sticky so I won't ask anymore questions in General...
InflatedTitan: Thanks for the help. When you say "mount in recovery" does that mean I will need to do the Power on with Volume Up trick? Or will I remain in TWRP? That's the only thing I'm afraid of is not being able to get back into bootloader or TWRP...
I've always flashed roms through CWR (and now TWRP) so I am not very familiar with the "manual" way. (i.e. I'm lazy.)

I'm not sure I follow... Your saying when you plug the phone in, computer won't recognize it as a removable storage? But you DO have the rom zip on your sdcard?
Are you in sense jellybean or aosp? Sense jellybean won't prompt you to mount and transfer files automatically...
What exactly is the problem bro?

For some reason HTC took the option to mount and transfer files easily. Its faster now to boot into twrp to transfer :/

Don't forget to flash boot.img in fastboot before/after flashing the ROM if you were from 2.20 firmware.

Hi all,
My evita was a bit slow so I performed a factory reset from the bootloader... stupid idea as it removed the OS (ROM) from my SD. I tried to push a ROM in the device, it said it was successful but there is still nothing on my SD card.
In the bootloader adb is not detecting my phone, fastboot is working though. Sideload is not working.
When i try to wipe anything from TRWP it says : it says "failed to mount 'sdcard' (invalid argument)"

I found the solution : Plug the phone to the PC, open in TWRP recovery / click on mount, then the PC ask to format the device, format in fat32. Then copy the rom to the sdcard. Flash it with TWRP. Done!

Help me please the similar thing happend with me but i exit twrp. Now i don't know what to do

Bricked After trying to install CM10

After trying to install CM10 Via TWRP my phone hung on the CM10 splash page.
I have tried to reinstall CM10 and I keep having the same problem.
I'm able to access TWRP but for some odd reason I can't mount my sd card properly. I'm not able to click "Mount sd card" on the "mount" page in TWRP. That being said I can't backup my phone from a previous backup.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now my phone won't even turn on.. HELP

Have you tried holding down the power and volume down button for longer then 10 seconds or longer? this should force restart your phone, get into TWRP and try an other Rom for now, also did you try an international rom? international roms will not work.
UPDATE: I'm guessing your also can't recover your last back up because your on HBOOT 1.14 S-ON? 1.14 will not recover boot.img's

If you manage to get it to mount to your computer (Check your drivers are installed also, EG htc sync usb drivers) then look for a "one click boot img flash" unless you know how to flash them using fastboot commands, whenever you are to flash a room, extract the boot.img from the zip file, flash that in fastboot, THEN go to recovery and flash a rom. same goes for backups. S-off is a hassle.

My computer recognizes that the phone is being plugged into the computer but it can't install the proper drivers.
Sadly I can't get my phone to go into recovery either.

when in twrp recovery.
1. delete cache, dav. cache, and system restore.
2. reinstall the gapp files and the CM10 zip file.
3. reboot

The issue is that I can't get into TWRP

what did you do to it? phones don't just die and cm10 didn't kill it. are you sure you flashed cm10 for the evita?
also try flashing this version of twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-evita.img
also run "fastboot erase cache" after flashing then try going into recovery and wiping cache,dalvik, and external

I'm trying to fix it by using the HTC Android Phone ROM Update utility, but I keep getting the follow error.. "ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR...
I'm not currently able to boot into TWRP to install a new ROM.

well if you've unlocked your bootloader you cant upgrade with anything to do with htc and that's sure to mess with it. you're on your own sources of updates, no OTA nothing. You need to install htc sync and adb drivers for your phone if that still doesnt detect then its a usb brick and I'm of no hope but others may be

I managed to relock my bootloader, but installing the stock RUU is still another story..
I can only get my computer to recognize that the phone is connected to my computer if I'm in Fastboot mode.

If you can't mount from recovery the sd got corrupted happened to me they have a fix if you do a few searchs. If you locked the bootoader and the computer only recognizes in fastboot that is good now run a RUU like 1.85

[Q] Can't go into USB fastboot or mount USB storage in TWRP

Basically I can't go into USB fastboot or mount USB storage in TWRP. In recovery I kept getting these errors:
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard/ (tw_mount)
E: Failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)
I'm reading somewhere that I should't have done a factory reset in the bootloader, but somewhere along the way I wiped my sdcard so I have nothing to flash in my phone..
Basically all this started happening after I dropped my phone in the afternoon while it was charging. It worked fine for a while, but then it hanged then started bootlooping, so I did the factory reset. I'm seriously hoping it's not a hardware issue.. My USB cable was functional the last time I used it to flash stuff, and it can still be used to charge the phone, so..
I was on 2.20, S-on, TWRP 2.2 and was running rohan32's b7 kernel and KK m1 rom. Haven't been here in a while since everything was working fine..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What the heck, this questions has been asked like 3 times today.
Connect the phone to a Windows PC, open Device Manager. There you should have the option to format. Format as FAT32, and this should fix the SD card corruption.
Factory reset in hboot corrupts the SD. Only factory reset in TWRP.

Yeah I read that too. I would if I could but my PC isn't detecting my phone. fastboot devices, adb devices show nothing too.
Since that's that I'm gonna just hope it's just that my usb cable got damaged when I dropped it or something, get another cable and give it a try in a few hours.

Adb will only detect if you are in recovery or fully booted and fastboot will work well yeah that's obvious when

You can boot to recovery but not Fastboot? Can you use TWRP to reboot the phone into the bootloader, have you tried that?
I had a similar problem, I ended up using Evita toolkit to update TWRP to the latest 2.4.2.0 version: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
Then I could use Mount option to mount the External Storage again, dumped my choice of ROM onto it and flash it.

hello there
i had the exact same problem as the author of this post except i used CleanROM5.1 (everything else the same)
my phone started rebooting faster and faster in look until it wouldnt get past the logo screen
i have tried every trick in this forum no success
came down to this post which seemed to look the best, as i seem to have the same problem of SDCARD not being recognized by phone
so i plugged it to the laptop on TWRP recovery and formatted the card
no success
PS.. i used a Mac to format the card, and it has the MS-DOS FAT option closest to the FAT32 sdcard filing system
are the 2 the same ? is that where my problem is? wrong file format when i formatted the card?
PLEASE HELP... I WORK IN A HOSPITAL AND ONCALL AND NEED THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED ASAP TONIGHT!

That could be the problem... FAT is not the same as FAT32.

I would verify in device mgr that computer isn't seeing it, if you see android devices or my HTC in device mgr then it is recognized, if not then check the hidden devices option under tools and see if its greyed out , if so update driver at HTC.com
Oops just realized you said you are on a mac.....that might be your first issue of many

WTF did you come from?! But seriously the GS3 is different than the One XL so you could end up with a brick. Go search the GS3 forums or post a question there.

HI XDA,
After flashing a early version of sense 5 rom for my phone, twrp doesnt install any other roms. And after accidentally deleting my back ups, i cleared my rom and now I have no OS. To make it worse, my phone doesnt connect to the computer so i cant load any other rom on. I NEED HELP PLEASE ASAP

What version of TWRP are you using?
Also, you need to work out why the pc can't see your device. Did you factory reset in bootloader?

Go into recovery, connect your phone to pc, select mount usb storage, find it in my computer on your pc, format it to fat32 format. Now it will be usable again.

[Q] One S Stuck in bootloop after installing Viper 3.0.0

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I installed Viper One S 3.0.0 on my Phone.
Installation went ok. Used TWRP by the way.
After the message of succesful installation i rebooted the Phone.
Now it's stuck in a bootloop. I can get into recovery, but there I cannot do anything. It doesn't seem to see the Internal storage, so restoring the backup I made of the stock ROM is also not possible.
Anyone an idea how to get this ROM to work, or how I can get back to the Stock firmware? I kinda need this Phone.
And does anyone know if the SD card is wiped? Or just not visible?
Any help would be much appriciated.:good::good::good:

Hi,
I had the same problem, i had installed the viper rom twice (second time without wiping) and then it worked. I also had the 'no ds card found' error. This fixed it for me:
1) Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock
2) Boot into the bootloader and choose to "clear storage" and afterwards to reset to factory defaults.
3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a CWM recovery version again.
4) Reboot into recovery (CWM). Your /sdcard should now be mounted and visible.

Ok so I'm a bit further. I Flashed an Original Recovery I found in the thread of the Toolkit. That didn't boot.
But afterwards I flashed the TWRP again. Now I see the SD card again.
Only problem now is to send a ROM to the SD card for installation.
ADB is not working properly on my WIndows 7 X64 machine.
Anybody any ideas on that??

Nice going! goed gedaan!

Just 1 little thing I found. Maybe someone knows how to fix it.
Every now and then the Phone just reboots. Then it works fine for a while. Is this a known issue?
Besides that I'm loving this ROM. It's fast, customizable it just works great!! Respect to the Developer!!
