[Q] Help! Phone not recognized in recovery by PC - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Okays guys so my friend is having some issues, I can't solve it so I figured I would go ahead and ask you. When he plugs in his phone while in recovery to mount the sd card, nothing shows up on his computer. When trying to flash a custom rom or backup of a rom, it gives error status 7. I do not know what is wrong with it, and can not seem to find out how to fix it. I have spent the past hour or so browsing the forums after he did trying to find a resolve to the issue with no avail. If you can help me in any way it would be greatly appreciated.

What version of recovery are you using? Sounds like the SD card is corrupt from doing a factory reset in bootloader.

He is running TWRP 2.1.6, he does all of his wipes in recovery none in bootloader.
Edit: It even shows up in device manager, as a regular device. No exclamation point or anything. ADB even recognizes it in recovery mode.

Install the latest twrp and Wipe SD card in twrp then mount.

Attempting this right, he said that he flashed the newest one but he didn't. Thanks for the input this might just be a user error on his end.

It went bad. No idea what happened.

Went to flash an updated Rom on my ATT One X. Been using CWM recovery.
Reboot into recovery, wipe/factory reset.
Go to find the file, SDCard is almost completely gone/items deleted.
I load up TWRP, mount the SDCard, nothing, all gone. So I just format the SDCard, copy the new Rom over to the SDCard root.
Reboot into recovery. Try to install, when I select it in TWRP, swipe, it sits, then just reboots the app and goes back to the main screen.
At a loss right now, phone apparently soft bricked. Maybe bad Rom zip?
Rooted/Unlocked of course, been working fine the past week. Only had the phone 1 week.
Ideas? Help..haha...
Easy, except you gonna have to reunlock boot loader.you can't boot into fast boot OEM relock bootloader and run ruu. You could also try using fast boot to flash something.

Or it might be a case of twrp going bad. Fast boot flash recovery img and boot back into recovery.

It was clockwork I was using at the time.
Everytime I rebooted into recovery and selected the file to install, more stuff was missing.
I'm wondering if the SDCard got corrupt, recovery went crazy and wiped etc...or bad Rom.
Redownloaded Rom.
Reformatted SDCard for good measure since it was all pretty much gone.
Flashed TWRP back as the recovery.
Installing the Rom now. CleanRom 4.1SE.
But...all my Sh&t is gone off the SDCard. Backups, photos etc...buh-bye forever.
Side note, my camera lens area on the phone has been getting hot. Not sure where the processor is located on this phone, maybe it is just doing that while trying to install Rom and CPU is running a little hot and normal?

Cwm has been known to have instability which is why almost everyone suggests using twrp, which is officially supported.

Ok. I noticed it was nowhere near as complete and slick at say 4EXT recovery on my Inspire and suspected some weirdness was going on.
Back on TWRP now and seems to be installing the new Rom I just downloaded again.
Rebooting now...guess I should start copying my SDCard to my computer
Go to cnet.com and download recuva. Do a deep scam and it will recover most of your stuff.. worked for me.. do it on your computer.

Ok, cool, will give it a look.
The CleanRom thread blew up, apparently me and bunch of others had this happen using CWM and the latest build....
All working again, now if I can recovery some stuff, like the photos I had, that would be nice.
Appreciate the replies and help.
Edit: recuva didn't find anything useful. SDCard was blasted for good somehow.

scrosler warned very clearly (even before the latest 4.1 build) not to use CWM. Why so many people chose to ignore him, I have no idea. For some reason the SD card wipe issue was much worse on CleanROM 4.1 than previous versions (and other ROMs).
Take note that the SD wipe issue has also happened on TWRP. Safest approach is to backup SD data to your desktop computer before flashing anything. In particular, your Titanium folder and anything not easily replaceable (photos, etc.). Its a bit of an annoyance to have to do this whenever you want to flash something. But until the cause of the issue is found and fixed, this is the safest way.
Not sure why everyone is blaming the Recovery's for loosing pictures and stuff from there internal SD card. Same thing happened to me with my HTC Touch Diamond, We all came to the conclusion it was from so much flashing. I have used both recovery's and lost pictures and My Documents. Just my 2cents worth.
Is there a tutorial somewhere showing how to switch from CWM to TWRP?

Doload goo manager and use it to install recovery. Or you can go to twrp dev thread directions are there.

Apparently I posted in the wrong place. Advice please, I just bricked my phone.

I am running the latest AOKP, and was having problems with tiny chat. I decided to reboot into recover and wipe everything. I wiped all the options that allow a wipe, and then went to reboot. It would not reboot - it said there was nothing in /system. Now, if I try to turn it on, it gets to the HTC screen, and nothing.
Did I just brick my phone?
Some folks in the other forum posted that I could download an RUU to flash. How do I do that if I can't boot?
Not bricked just no OS loaded.
You should just be able to boot into recovery and copy a rom across to storage then flash.

Reflash the Rom, you have nothing.installed
Power off your phone by holding power for 15 seconds
Hold power then volume down then release power while holding volume down
It will boot into hboot and select recovery, reflash and boot it up

Your recovery mode has the option for mass storage, use that to put a Rom on the sdcard and flash it

In Recovery, click on Mount and Mount USB storage. If you have proper drivers, your computer will detect the phone as a HDD. You can copy files to the internal SD card and flash in Recovery.
It says I have to format the drive to continue. Should I do that?

Noooo... Make a nandroid before you wipe... You can always extract your data from your nandroid .

Okay. I went into TWRP and chose mount, then mount USB storage. My computer picked it up and I transferred Evita and Gapps to it. However, when I then go to Install, there is nothing listed.
XDA is amazing as always. Fixed it. Thank you all so much!

[Q] TWRP/NO OS - ROGERS - Searching forums and nothing!

I have been reading for the last couple weeks, thinking I have an answer and end up further into the hole.
Rogers HTC One X / EVITA / HBOOT 2.14. / 2.4 TWRP initially, now 2.6 / Unlocked boot loader / s-on
1. Started trying to flash AOKP 4.2.2. Flashed boot.img, then followed with TWRP recovery. All I could get was the language screen and then it stalled. Tried numerous iterations of this with various wipes and flash first and flash after.
2. Next tried Viper 3.2.7. All good till it gets to startup screen then it stops (I understand Viper has its boot.img installed to start not needing it flashed).
3. While trying various wipes to see if it would install completely I mistakenly did a factory reset! Now no OS! No Nandroid! No ROM.zip!
4. To get a ROM on SDCard tried ADB sideload thru TWRP. after running script it says unable to mount SDCARD! Suggests I reboot system! Now a little leery of rebooting for fear it will not.
5. Also tried to MOUNT HTV via TWRP on to laptop. Did not recognize said ti initialize. Formatted FAT 32 (via MAC). Now will not mount SD Card. I did drop Viper.zip into mount (cache and system OK) but can not find it using FILE MANAGER via TWRP
6. Now am in BOOTLOADER screen of Android. Thought I could flash a ROM but from what I read it does not look possible.
Can any one point me in the right direction to get this thing up and running. At this point, as much as I am learning all the time, it does me no good having my phone down for two weeks (sure glad I kept my Nexus One).
Any answer at this stage is a good answer and I appreciate all input!
Thanks

Sounds like you did a factory reset in bootloader which corrupts the sd card after unlocking the bootloader. You used to be able to just mount it on pc and format it but after the jb update I don't think that's possible due to the drive no longer being a mass storage device but an mtp device instead. There was a method to fix it developed by team nocturnal but it looks like the site is inaccessible right now. I'll see if there's a way to fix it and get back to you. Bear with me.
[/COLOR]By any chance have you tried wiping sd card in twrp 2.6?
Also, have done SuperCID yet?

SuperCID has not been done. It is S-ON presently.
I wiped SD Card as suggested. Saw it set up partitions. And now TWRP shows up when I mount . Can I just drop a ROM in and flash via TWRP? Any suggestions for a ROM. Could not get AOKP 4.2.2 to run or Viper 3.2.7.
Thanks for the quick assist at getting it to MOUNT.
Flash a stock sense rom and then fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom. Then use jet to downgrade hboot and SuperCID and then s-off. It'll save you lots of headaches.

It all sounds simple when you say it.
I will find a stock sense ROM to install then follow with boot.img.
Is it necessary to wipe anything more then Dalvik and Cache?
Thanks again.

In twrp 2.6 the factory reset wipes everything except sd card and system. You don't have to wipe system but I always do when I'm flashing a new rom.

[Q] BL Unlocked,Rooted "BL Factory Resetted" Help?

Sorry for my posts !

So, I tried entering Recovery Mode, but accidentally pressed Factory Reset within the BL Mode, it rebooted, and now TWRP says
E: No SDCARD to mount / .
Someone please give me the recovery stock for evita , or some help suggestions here?
I thank you very much!

I also can't RUU, don't wanna risk bricking my phone with Super CID , also, PC does recognize it in Fastboot mode, so yeah.
You should be able to format the sd card in Windows.

Yeah formatting through Windows is the only way back from this. You may think, but hey, formatting it will wipe the content. Unfortunately that's already happened from factory resetting in bootloader.

Or you could run an ruu if you can't figure out how to format. Either one works.

For the record, I believe 2.6 twrp format can fix corrupt sd card.
I'll test to be sure.
Edit: With twrp 2.6 factory reset in bootloader didn't even seem to currupt my sd card. It just wiped it.

Ever since i plugged in my PC from that day, factory resetting in BL Mode, it would say "Device seems to be corrupt, you need to format this in windows", but yes, it did remove everything from it anyways.

sdcard formated

Hey guys today when I turned my phone on nothing happened it showed the htc screen then turned off. I loaded recovery and noticed that everything on my SD card was wiped. I'm thinking even the OS is gone as well because it will not boot past the HTC screen. It stays there and after about a min or so the phone turns off. Is there a way to install the stock os in fastboot?
Provide more info please. What ROM were you on? Were you on a custom kernel? Had you made any changes to the device recently? What are your bootloader details?

That's very odd, devices don't usually just wipe automatically. Anyway, just try mounting your sd card in TWRP recovery and copying a ROM across from your PC.
