boot ur phone to bootloader and run ruu
Try going into Recovery, and wipe cache and wipe Dalvik, then reboot.
Not sure if this will work on the One X. But I've had occasional issues with the internal SD mounting on my HTC Flyer tablet, and wiping cache and Dalvik fix it every time.
Its worth a try, anyway.
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.
Lesson learned: do factory reset from recovery, not the bootloader screen

I'm having the same issue, but I can't check the SD card box in TWRP?
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
I had the same issue. however if you USB to PC and format sd drive, twrp will sometimes find. Also notice that when I did that my rom zip, kernal files to flash were in the twrp file in recovery.
Make sure you have everything backed up.
I guess I should add that twrp wouldn't mount however USB to PC still found it.

Ditto, exact same problem. Any solutions?
I've been having the same problems. My phone has been in a soft brick for 1 week and a half now and nothing seems to work.
Suggestions I've been given (None worked for me):
-Hold power button for 10 seconds for a force reboot
-Flash stock recovery, go in Hboot, Clear Storage, Flash TWRP, wipe cache.
-Connect an SD card reader to your phone with the rom in it.
-Partition SD from TWRP
-Relock phone and flash stock RUU (My phone is on 1.94 firmware and there is no equivalent RUU. I tried all of them and they all say I have the wrong ROM)
The only suggestion I have been given that would work is to buy a new phone... But I am not that desperate yet.
Maybe one will work for you

Now that I think of it, it is probably not necessary to checkmark "Mount SDCard". The reason is that doing so only mounts (or unmounts) it for access within TWRP and should not affect the USB access. So if you cannot checkmark it, try just ignoring that step.

I didn't. I had to wipe the SDCard by formatting it. More correctly, the factory reset that I performed from hboot wiped the SDCard, so it was already wiped... I just had to format it. Lesson learned: only perform factory reset from recovery (TWRP or CWM), as it does not touch the SDCard.

My phone is now booting, but it still can't mount or recognize the SD card. Do I have to reflash again or is there some setting I can use to get it to mount?
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.
Freaked me out too man

How does one extract the stock recovery from a ruu or stock ROM? (or, would it be possible for you to send me the file?)
and does flashing the stock recovery require me to relock the bootloader?

I followed all the steps, but I'm stuck in TWRP recovery, I can't boot anything past it and I'm lost as to what to do. =\
I ran a recovery in TWRP to get my phone back to the phones original rom after being on AOKP JB Build 4 on my AT&T One X, but now it stays on the HTC boot screen with the red legal warning on it and TWRP can't mount /sdcard to flash back to another rom. I really hope that this isn't a brick but can someone shine some light on this issue and a possible fix? Help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: Was able to get AOKP flashed back by mounting /data as /sdcard, phone boots into it and I can use it, but the internal storage (/sdcard) is nonexistent and won't mount.
format sdcard in your computers os. make sure not to factory reset or clear storage in bootloader or it will corrupt sdcard.

I can't get the phone to mount as a removable drive because of the problem with /sdcard, so I can't format it from my computer.

Don't worry about the red text. We all have that. And it is not bricked.
Can you turn the phone on with the stock ROM you flashed? If so, can you mount the SD card while it is on, booted up in phone mode? If, mount it there, then move your new rom to your phone.
Hello,
I have a similar issue, i can get into TWRP recovery, but i am not able to mount sdcard. My mistake was that i did fastboot flash boot boot.img but i neglected to actually flash the room and i didn't put the rom in the sdcard, so now i need to mount the sdcard to load the rom to flash it, but that is where i am stuck, is there a way to copy files into the sdcard via adb or any other way?
Any help will be greatly appreciated it.
Thank you.

I think what you need to do then is flash the ROM from your bootloader. I found this guide with directions explaining how to flash from the bootloader by googling How To Flash Rom from Bootloader in the XDA Wiki. Here are the steps
ROM Flashing
Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
reboot your device into fastboot mode via one of the following options.
adb reboot bootloader (requires USB debugging to be turned on).
power off the device then back on with 'vol up' + power button.
Wipe your device.
fastboot -w
Update your ROM.
fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>
Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.
ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip
thanks for the reply but the procedure is not working,
when in fastboot through cmd i get
fatsboot -w
erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.003s

Lol this just happen toe last night what u need to do is boot into bootloader then plug it USB cable to ur phone and format your sdcard it make sure u download a Rom to your computer before this it can be any tom you like after you format you can put the Rom on ur sdcard and flash and u will be golden
loading into bootloader doesn't allow the computer to read/access the sdcard keep in mind this is the HOX so the sdcard is the internal memory, i could get into the recovery and then try to mount it that way and format from there but for some reason i can't select the option mount sdcard.

I did it. Apparently you can install a zip ROM from SD card once you repartition it from the recovery. There is an option to partition the SD card in the Recovery.
After that, restart the phone, go into recovery again, connect to the PC using a USB cable, and use the USB mount option if you want to copy the ROM without removing the microSD card from the phone. Copy the zip ROM to the sdcard and try installing the ROM again. It worked for me !
I was installing the Pico ROM from this tutorial:

TWRP Mounting SD card

So I think I may have currupted my sdcard. I'm running CM-12 4/21/15 nightly. I'm a nubie at this stuff and have read everywhere I can think of on the forums. When I try to reboot to bootloader from TWRP recovery if goes immediately to the do no remove USB connection FIRMWARE Update. I am worried that this will un-root me with AT&T being jerks and fixing the bumped bootloader. So, I have always just pulled the battery, plus it never has any progress on the %downloaded bar.
To try to fix the issue I may have just made it worse and created too many partitions or corrupted the SD by doing exactly what you said not to do above. Before I did a TWRP wipe (not the advanced version) the SD card was mounted, but some apps like google play music kept saying external storage removed. I did the wipe and saw the factory reset screen and said ok. I had to download all my apps again and then switched to Google Now launcher I orginally rooted and bootloader unlocked with bump on a different smaller external SD card. I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it.
I'm almost unsure what to ask you or other more experienced users what to do.
eee. how about on my samsung galaxy j5 sm j500h? i wanted to mount my phone to pc but i cant. was planning to fix my phone cause im stucked on bootlogo due to flashing xposed-v72-sdk22-arm.zip. Hoping that you guys can help me out.
So, I just got this phone and decided to root flash yadda yadda. I didn't realize how many different version of this phone there were and flashed a kernel for the international version. Shortly after TWRP said I had no os installed and when I use adb to push a rom to both /system and /sdcard it won't show up.
Any ideas?
Edit: I've been able to push it to /data and when I try to flash it It says "updating partition" then immediately fails..
Just mount usb storage in TWRP, copy a ROM from your pc to your phone sd card, and install normally from TWRP install menu.

I forgot to mention this: windows doesn't recognize the file system and wants to format it when I mount it..
In that case you've probably corrupted your sd card, and you will need to format it using Windows before you can do anything. My guess is that you did a factory reset from bootloader didn't you.

Yes I did but it said it was formatted before I did that.

Hi community,
I have my Nexus 5 since 2 Days. Now it cant find the internal storage.
U dont talk about usb, mount at mass storage etc. NO
My Phone didnt recognize the internal storage.
So i can boot it, but can not access.
What i have done:
- its odex stock rom
- open bootloader
- root SuperSU
- Recovery TWRP latest
Until then everything was fine.
Then I tried to mount my USB storage with TWRP.
I know now its not possible..
But I would not give up so I installed CWM latest to try it.
->
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
fastboot erase cache
After that i navigated to "mount option" and try to mount and unmount all of this buts not working.
So i flashed back to twrp and reboot my phone.
Now the phone has booted, but the internal storage was not recognized.
In addition, there is no GSM / LTE connection.
Because I can not access the storage, I can not f the recovery
So my question:
How does the phone get back access to the memory?
Thank
Try format data and data/media (sdcard) from recovery. If that doesn't work, you may have to flash the factory images from fastboot. In either case, your data will be wiped.

Since you´ve messed up your internal storage, I suggest you to flash a factory image and to hope for the best

Yeah, thx. Now its stock and full working.
My OPO is running on TWRP v2.8.4.1 recovery.
I formatted my entire phone by wiping the internal storage, system, and cache partition. I want to now transfer the ROM files and gapp files to the phone so I can reinstall.
I am booted into the TWRP recovery and connected my OPO to my PC using USB. However, I am unable to transfer files of folder to the internal storage.
How do I do this?
Go into the Mount menu from the TWRP main menu and enable MTP.

You can use adb sideload or adb push command to send files via terminal.
You need twrp recovery as usual.
