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.

Umm huge thanks, button not enough. Thought I'd have to start from scratch again! Will keep in mind in case of future issues.

So, wait, I'm having the same issue. How did you get your phone to a bootable condition without erasing the SD card?

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?
thx u dolan
Gracias

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. =\
Hi all, i have a huge problem. Yesterday i wiped everything in my rom with cwm, wiped data, sd, cache, dalvik and system. I saved on my pc a folder with some files i need to flash and some backups. I would like to mount the usb storage from the recovery, put the files in and flash normally through cwm. BUT, and there is a but, my phone is perfectly view by the pc (it says also Nexus s in periferical) but doesn't see the drive when i mount the usb storage? Do you know why? Is not a problem of drivers, because the phone is perfectly seen. Now i can't boot, because i don't have a SO, and i can't mount the usb storage from cwm. Is there a method to flash roms .zip from fastboot? I'd need the .img file, not the .zip ones. How do i solve?
Thank you very much
I solved by downloading the factory images from google and flashing them from bootloader

So I did a factory reset in the bootloader ,now all my data and ROM has been wiped.Internal SD shows 0 MB and I'm unable to flash ROM(Says "failed" and unable to mount internal) what should I do now? Will it be alright if I wipe the internal SD again?

Never factory reset in bootloader on a modded HOX. It corrupts the SD. To fix it, simply connect to a Windows PC, and reformat the SD. Then boot into recovery, mount the SD, and move your ROM of choice to the SD.
In the future, only do factory reset in the OS or recovery.

Please let's just use the existing thread so we don't have multiple threads on the exact same issue.
Thanks.
Please, help me, i have an LG P920 OPTIMUS, and i wipe factory reset using clockwork,and after the reset this is what i get LG OPTIMUS, not enough free space clean up your data and try again. I deleted everything in the sd cards and formatted them, still i get the error.. I can't download from the market thing, and i can't receive or send text because the storage is full, when it is not. please help
Reflash it
Hi!
What is your android system?
Try to reflash the system, when it finished, power on, let it boot to system, click exit on setup wizard, restart to recovery and do a factory reset.
After it done, do a reboot, and your storage now working.
It worked for me in official GB 21E.
On stock GB Roms, don't do a factory reset with CWM installed, it will keep giving that error. Flash stock recovery on your phone and do another factory reset. That always gets the job done for me.
try this:
1. first check in settings - app manager - how much is the total size of internal storage and SD card (sometimes corrupt installation can access only little of these space). then backup whatever you want to on the computer . download and put a rom.zip in external SD card.
2. if you have root access then boot into recovery , wipe delvik cache , wipe cache , factory reset and wipe system , format internal storage this will completely remove the ROM installed and all the apps. then reboot into recovery and flash the rom.zip from sd card.
reboot and enjoy!
ill keep this simple. tried to advanced wipe data and cache with TWRP which returned an E:/ unable to mount for both data and cache. internal storage is now saying its 0MB after i "fastboot erase" on as many of the partitions it would return success with (ie, what was mounted) flashall is asking me for a specific device.
How do i reset the internal partitions so they become mountable again? i believe in erasing the ones i had, it has deleted them altogether and i need to flash original firmware to get it to auto restructure (im guessing)
EDIT: so i downloaded this (link not allowed) i just dont know how to implement it through adb or fastboot
somewhere i read that the latest moto PQ versions for CWM and TWRP both have some selinux problem when wiping data, causing a force unmount (parroting. i DONT know what im talking about)
the first time i installed with CM11 with twrp (after CMW only allowing me to install 10.2) it worked great, except google play and whisperpush(whatever that is) crashing consistently. i should have used 'fix permissions' instead of going for a wipe+re-install
please help, what commands do i need to use through fastboot to restore the partitions, or where can i get the fxz file to use with RSD?
this is a brand new out of the box Sim-modded and pre-rooted PQ
SOLVED (i think)
god im so ****ing stupid.
due to corrupting the file structure and not being able to mount the cache or data partitions, when i installed CM11 snapshot it picked my external SD as the data storage /android/data/
FIX: unmounting and removing the external SD i rebooted to system, booted back to recovery. -> factory reset.... auto reboot, cant mount messages, then a second time it said SELinux supported message. ->factory reset again and finally no red messages, wipe to system (got an error, but probably cause system = external SD). i then inserted the external SD, installed the ROM and everything looks normal and working right
TWRP will restore file structure with 'factory reset' BUT ONLY IF you remove your external sd
i hope this thread saves time and headaches for someone.
