[Q] Help

I am needing install a rom to my SD card...but can't simply move the file over to my phone at the moment I only have fastboot right now. Can I move a file over using fastboot and then use clockworkmod to flash it?

Use the "mount USB storage" in the CWM "mounts and storage" menu.

Why can't you move the file over? To use fastboot you need to be hooked to a computer anyways.
You could download rom file to your sdcard straight from the phone.

You can only flash img files via fastboot. I don't know if CM is released that way at all.
Is your phone even functional? I mean, you can boot to a regular rom, correct?

[Q] Help! TWRP Won't Mount /sdcard for flashing!

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,

fatsboot -w

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.

[Q] TWRP 2.5 no OS

It seems you wiped/formatted your internal storage.
You should be able to mount by USB to your pc if you have your drivers for the device installed though I have never tried.
Few things you could try.
1.) reformat microSD card(fat32) and put rom on it and see if it is mountable again.
2.)If you are getting the message unable to mount internal storage try formatting the internal storage using twrp(data will be lost).

I try new SD card and reformat but same situation. How driver i need for connection over USB?

You'll need to use adb to connect your device whilst in twrp. However why don't you just copy a ROM to SD card and flash that way?

This looks to me as if you're another candidate for this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803343
The instructions are for an old ICS rom, but still work with JB 4.2
You may want to search for users ssnova or jjgrantham in the CROMIX thread in the development section and pm them.
They had exactly your problem: only thing they could boot to was TWRP and solved it using above method.
Good luck, let us know if it worked!

Well, after looking a solution to ADB sideload write error from TWRP, I just rebooted TWRP, asked me to install SuperSU, rebooted, and sideload worked perfectly.

[Q] Flashed wrong kernel.. Derp

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.
I just got it to work. I pushed the rom to /data then copied it from /data to /sdcard and it installed just fine. I was a little worried!! I need to pay more attention next time x.x

[Q] SD Card no longer detected when downgrading from 12.1

I am facing a really weird problem.
Initially, my HTC Desire S was running CM10.1 ROM, with sdcard 32GB FAT32 formatted. Recovery was CWM 5.0.2.0. I saw CM 12.1 Lollipop ROM for HTC saga, and decided to try it out. Recovery was updated to TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, and installed successfully CM12.1 The phone was lagging, and decided to revert back to CM10.1.
The sdcard was not detected in CM10.1, neither when recovery was reverted back to CWM 5.0.2.0. I also tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga and recovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-saga, none could mount the sdcard. I tried other sdcards (16GB and 8GB), formatting them using SDFormatter, checking using MiniTool Partition to make sure it's not set to logical. None could be detected.
But when I put back TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, all sdcards could be detected in recovery. I reinstalled CM12.1, it could also detect and use the sdcard.
It seems that installing recovery TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial and/or upgrading to 12.1. had caused sdcard to be undetectable by earlier version of recovery and OS.
How can I fix this, and have my phone running CM10.1 again, with sdcard detected?

Try flashing 4ext recovery see if thats able to mount anything.
Theres a thread by me in Desire S General and its 4ext recovery as PG88IMG. Just extract the zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot. (or just use the PG88IMG haha)

Nope, 4ext can't mount sdcard. It seems only TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial recovery and CM12.1 can detect the sdcard.

Strange. U should ask the dev of twrp and or the rom dev to see if they know anything bout it.
Check ur sdcard for any recovery folder (twrp) and delete it then try flashing 4ext. There might be something in the folder f****** things up haha.

It happens also to newly formatted sdcards.

How do u format the sdcard? Coz if u format it using recovery then it doesnt delete the recovery folder. Anyway im out of ideas so best contact the dev see if they know why.
