[Q] (partly solved)S4 after recovery can't mount SD-Ext - HTC One S

Hello,
i can access only to bootloader and recovery. Try several times operations with change recovery, clear storage and hard reset.
The problem is that i see SD-EXT in recovery ( TWRP v.2.6.3.0 ) but only like a folder, no size, no nothing. Last time the problem was mount... and i resolve it but now i can't. Only see internal SD (in recovery) with 50 MB memory. The phone is ville S4 16GB, S-OFF, Unlocked, H-boot 2.16.
Lost over a day with try many solutions of my problem but didn't made it. Please HELP me with some ideas or better - solution of my problem.
p.s. Sorry for my bad english.
Edit step by step:
1 fastboot stock recovery... or i think its stock because i try with several recovery witch i think is stock (and may be here is my problem)
2 when i "clear storage" phone is reset in TWRP 2.6.3.0 don't know why...(after that step if i go in bootloader and try go enter again in recovery i get red triangle)
3 i go factory reset and reflash new recovery and can't mount SD-Ext
i go in CWM go wipe dalvic cache and i take again E:unknown volume for path [ext-sd]...
Please tell me where i go wrong, if some of u have stock recovery please give me link ot it.
EDIT 2: i try this methods

Go on hboot 2.15 and follow step for installing roms on 2.16 hboots i'm sure you'll solve the issue! Try connecting the phone to your pc and formatting the sdcard if this does not work try the first thing i said.

last night i try hboot 2.15 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274&nocache=1&z=674317537341266
but i think they are for Ville/C2. After i try hboot 2.15 internal storgage go 10GB and again cant mount sd-ext (i uploud ROM in internal memory and try to install it but get only Error) and i go again at hboot 2.16.
If u can give me hboot2.15 for Ville (S4) because cant find another.
EDIT1:after flash new firmware with hboot2.15 (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755) again get 10GB internal storage and cant mount SD-EXT.
I'm totaly retire.....think i try everything for this days.... is some one have any idea.. please share.
EDIT2: After formating this 10GB internal storage i install Maximus HD10 4.2.2 android and i got only 2GB space.... dont know how this happened...but again have fully working phone with the diference that now is with hboot2.15 and only 2GB or memory...
EDIT3: now i have problems with SIM - after few calls my conversations stops and phone show message with NO SIM but have signal.. after few try to recall i have call again and after 1-2 min call stops and have again this message for NO SIM
The Question is: what i need to reflash to eliminate this problem, radio may be?

With HDMaximus you should only use TWRP 2.6.1 which is mentioned in the OP.
If u would bck to stock from hboot 2.16 u must flash any ICS RUU in fastboot for ur CID.
Then u can follow the installation for HDMaximus again, but its mandatory that ur S-Off

Problem: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

Since yesterday I have the strange problem. Searched the forum but can't find any solution thats right for me.
I testet a sense 3.5 rom (Insertcoin) and then wanted to restore an backup. It went wrong. So I wanted to wipe everything and flash my old rom new.
No I get the error messege when I want to wipe data/factory reset?
What could I do to solve this problem?
I also tried superwipe from the revolution rom, but this doesn't solve my problem :-(
I just want to wipe everything and then flash a new fresh rom.
What I tried so far:
Installed the original Vodafone RUU. Then installed clockworkmod (latest version) then installed root.
Error still occurs.
I got the same problem!

This just happened to me after flashing stock RUU again and installing CWM and CM7.
Should i worry or is it irrelevant?
Also Now in the bootloader it says
LOCKED but s-off on hboot 1.18 should i run Revolutionary again? I tried but it would just close a second after. I did manage to flash CM7
format volume problem

ive got the same problem also tried super wipe but didnt work try formatting the sd card but didnt work.... please help... could this cause the phone to power off and reboot constantly.....
problem format volume
any news on how to address this problem

Just rooted my phone

Do I have to factory reset in recovery and does factory reset result in Bootloop,
Do I have to Superwipe.
Or do this individually:
Format/wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache in advance(menu)
Format SD ext, system, boot, in mounts and storage.
What do you wan't to do with the phone, factory reset from menu will get you to bootloop for sure, doing it from recovery...... it's 50/50. But why do you want to do this?
If you want to change the rom, then just follow the instructions for it, so please do tell, what is your goal.
I just rooted my phone today this is first time I'm installing a Custom Rom.
There is an Instruction in the Rom I want to install. Do factory reset (While in Recovery I think.)
Just flash superwipe first, after that, the rom and something else if needed, if you are going for sense4, manually wipe everything from recovery, except the sd.
And that's it,......... uuu one more thing, backup your messages with some app, if you have important ones.
Thanks for the info!
Yeah I'm going with sense4.
Last question what is the minimum memory card size in doing the partition, I have a 4GB Micro SD is that enough?
Personally I haven't tried sense 4 (neither of them), but from what I read, you need at least 1GB ext3 or ext4(if I'm wrong somebody to correct me). And that's it. If you don't know how to make a partition check out my signature, there should be tutorial about that.
So what is the Custom Rom your using maybe I'll use that.
I'm on aokp (by legen_dary), but that's irrelevant, if you like sense, give it a try, sense roms are cool, they are just not my cup of beer. And whatever you choose to install, should be something that you like, anyway installation process for 95% of roms(sense or no sense) is pretty much the same, so if sense got your atention, go for it!
Ok thanks man you really made my day!
+1 to whatever shortyoko said upto now.. And one more point to be added iz that use yannou's recovery ( r recovery in jaggy jaggs tutorial) for flashing sense roms as they mount sd ext while flashing properly.. Other recoveries have some issues.. Though I tried with twrp to flash build 6.. And it worked..
I'm on my tab
Thank you for that Red Devil!
Stuck in a bootloop
I searched a lot on the forum tried going back to the stock ROM, but still stuck in bootloop need help
Details buddy, details. Also in my signature are two versions of stock rom, check them out

[SOLVED] Stuck with recovery, can't mount USB

Hello all !
I have an issue after trying to change ROM : I had "icon stretching" issue with Source, something apparently no one had seen before. I wanted to switch to Maximus, so I flashed it apparently with no problems. But then the phone only booted to Recovery (TWRP)...
So I tried to flash firmware again, the one given in tuto for Maximus but same problem.
And this is when it got tricky, not only I couldn't boot to Android, but I couldn't mount USB either, the option just disappeared ! Along with issue to mount "/cache" apparently. I tried factory reset, then full wipe, no result.
I tried a more recent version of TWRP than the one given with Maximus' tutorial, with it I have the option to mount USB but only for a 48 MB space ! Again, factory reset and full wipe don't help.
I'm not too worried since I can access bootloader and Recovery fine but I feel out of options... I flashed 2.16 firmware like a dozen times (is it any point in doing that ?), I wonder just how I can get a recovery that can mount USB, or a stock ROM to start fresh.
Anybody to help me ? Thanks in advance !
stick on TWRP 2.3.3.0 which (iirc) is the last one that allows you to mount storage. slap another rom across, flash, fastboot boot.img, get the rom up and running and then consider changing recoveries.
Thanks for your reply
I flashed this version but I can only mount a 48MB storage . I didn't reflash the firmware, should I downgrade to 2.15 ?
i've got no experience with 2.16 firmware so i can't really help you as far as it goes with the best recovery on that... all i can say is the last version of TWRP that allows sd mount is 2.3.3.0. have you tried the latest CWM that works with kitkat roms? that might be worth a shot.

Maybe you should use recovery from maximus thread, it can be specialized for hboot 2.16. AFAIK 2.16 hboot has a different partition system, that could be the problem. Try to wipe your sd with op recomended recovery. You should flash the firmware twice by the way(second one when got the error), i think you already know that

I can mount sdcard with TWRP 2.6.3.0 for hboot 2.15 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528113
YYYYYEEEEEESSSS !
Finally ! That was the right way to do it, downgrade to Hboot 2.15 with help of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755 but the recovery wasn't booting, just reflashing TWRP offered in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528113 did the trick.
And then I was able to mount my SD card and follow the steps to flash Maximus.
What a relief. Thank you all for your help ! I'm just surprised not many people seem to have had the same issue... But maybe they manage to resolve it by themselves !

[Help] Flashing ViperSV_1.5.0 on my HTC ONE SV

So in order this is how i Flash the ViperSV_1.5.0 Rom
1.Go into recovery (TWRP) go to Wipe do a factory reset and then go to advance Wipe Check all the boxes and Wipe.
2. I then go to Mount then Mount USB Storage and place the ViperSV_1.5.0.zip on my SD
3. I the go to install i select ViperSV_1.5.0.zip
4.The setting i choose Perform a full wipe, I don't select DeSense mod, I don't remove any apps and don't select keyboard.
5. The flash starts Its Checks Model ID(Success), It executes Full wipe , Says writing data the writing system, at writing system its stops at 83.00% (Extract:/system/media../weather_fog_night.mp4)
Sometimes its stops at different weather files but has never gone past 83.00%
I went to sleep and when i woke up it was stuck on the TWRP recovery loading screen so i took out the battery and tried a reboot but it just went to the quietly brilliant screen and stuck there, im guessing because the ROM didn't flash correctly and there isn't an OS
Please if you have a fix or think there is a fix reply i need of help
Will this get me back to stock rom if Flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734434
I have boost mobile
SO i go t back to stock but the WIfi dosent work is there a link to a ota for stock
Your phone is from boost and you tried to flash vipersv?
There are different partition layouts between european and boost roms. So it seems, it has some firmware parts overwritten.
Is there a way to fix the Wifi Problem
I don't really know, because i don't know what partitions are overwritten.
Maybe a RUU would help you.
But i guess you need to downgrade hboot first. And therefor you need S-Off.
Is there somthing i can do to help
From my side i can't do much. Try to get S-off. If you succeed, the first step is done.

The issue probably caused from TWRP
It corrupted cache and data partition

exactly you need to update your firmware first because you are still on gingerbread
flash 3.33 universal from here
