Can't figure out what I did (not relevant at the moment I suppose) but I'm trying to flash ANY rom and I always get the same kind of error (no matter what recovery I am using). It says "can't mount /sdcard or can't mount /media etc etc. Do I need to repartition my internal SD? If so how do I do it ?
Thanks a lot,
Bob
Very unlikely that you have to partition your SD - maybe format oarts of it, but that depends what you did....
What rom, recovery and bootloader version are you on? You sure you flashed the correct recovery???

Was using cromix until things died. Tried latest CWM and TWRP. Tried installing stock and various different roms.. Everything still gets stuck saying it can't find /sdcard.

sounds like you need to reformat it to me - but will twrp let you do it?

If you can get to fastboot, reflash TWRP, reboot, then boot to recovery and try again.

Well i was trying to install cleanROM 5.1 and cleanKERNEL on my HOX, but every time i would try it would say failed (unable to mount /sdcard, etc.) so i wiped my cache, did a factory reset, wiped external storage, then accidentally did a system reset so i have no OS installed now, i was running 2.20 before but found a tut to unlock bootloader and root. in bootloader it says ***tampered*** and ***unlocked***
So if i have a custom recovery installed that means im rooted right?
and basically what can i do to install this rom and kernel without an error

You have to plug it in to computer, open up "my computer" and click it... It'll ask you to reformat sdcard. Once its done, download cleanrom on your computer, mount your sdcard in trwp, and drag it onto your phone. open up recovery on your phone and flash entire rom :thumbup:

Just wanted to let you know that you are in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL forum, you need to ask your question in the Galaxy Nexus forum. That will be the best place to get an answer.

You have to flash the boot.img separately. There are only about 100 threads on this issue.
hi there. I was trying to flash custom ROM. JB+SENSE+ I did wipe, flashed rom, but now the phone is just going to bootloader and nothing else. I can go to recovery but cant mount SD card to push any rom on it. Can anybody help, please?

Flash TWRP recovery it will let you mount the SD card. Then don't use CWM on your One S anymore.

Here you go, don't forget you have to flash it in fastboot.
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/g4r0ryvjy6oce9k/recovery.img?dl=1
Or if you have the All in One toolkit you can place that file into the data folder then press the flash your own recovery button.
Thanks for that. You probably saved a few years of my life. .
Sd card mounted
Now just to find working rom. I have cwm backup in my laptop. How could I push it to my sd. Does it have to be the clockworkmod folder or I can copy to sd root and then use restore in cwm recovery?
Sent from my HTC Hero using xda app-developers app
if you flashed twrp, you can't restore cwm bu with iy
make a new bu with twrp even before flashing a new rom
Actually, I have got twrp backup as well. Just need to copy it to my sd. Ill try that after work. if I'm stocked ill seek sone help here. Thanks guys for help.
EDIT: got sorted, after I flashed boot.img extracted from rom everything working fine.
Only one thing. I cant mount sd card to my laptop.... But...... Too late tonight, leave it for another time.

And had the same problem as you.
What's happening is that when you are installing a ROM, the ROM checks for a file in the SD card that tells it if the ROM is compatible for the device, when you formatted the SD card, the file is wiped as well, now the when the ROM tries to find the file, it can't find it and consequently it aborts installation as a safety precaution

Probably the cleanest solution HERE
I ran the causal root applet on a new SG3 on 4.1.2. Ran root, the unlock script and installed TWRP. Booted into recovery and I got the error for a locked bootloader. I used download mode to get back to the stock rom and then used E-Z unlock to unlock the bootloader. Was able to boot into recovery this time but TWRP read internal and external memory as 0mb, unable to make a backup, and gave a no OS error when went to reboot. I updated TWRP with TWRP manager but the problems are still persistent. Phone boots fine and reboots fine at the moment.
I'm not sure what to do now though. I'm at the point were I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA update but I'm afraid that will brick the phone. I'm not sure what went wrong with TWRP, since this is the second S3 I've rooted.
Any sugestions? I'm afraid to use odin or try anything else since the phone currently works fine. But I'd prefer to not have to sleep in fear it might force the OTA update while I'm asleep and wake up to a bricked phone.
I tried searching, the best I could find is that newer versions of TWRP can't read the memory on a 4.1.2 rom, but the problems were there when I originally started with the recommended version.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
Try to use cwm or philz and see if you have the same issue.

Can you install a different custom recovery over one using the causal applet? I was planning on trying to reinstall TWRP but I wasn't sure if I had to do it a certain way like through odin or Using the unified tool kit?
Thanks for the help so far!

No.
Download latest philz touch recovery d2lte zip, then flash it in recovery, then reboot recovery.
Then check and see if you're getting a similar error message.

OK.
Then download the Odin version and flash through that. Then boot the phone into recovery.
Or download ez recovery, and the latest cwm image file, and flash through that from your rom.

I tried CWM and the stock recovery through EZ, both gave the same error as TWRP, unable to mount /
I'm really confused as to whats wrong. At this point I don't care if I get stuck with the OTA 4.3, but I don't want to try to update it with the recovery still not reading either my SD cards.
Any Ideas?
Are you sure of your phone model? I believe it puts it on the screen in download mode and also on a sticker under the battery. I'm mostly curious because you mention that this is a new phone with 4.1.2. Are you trying older versions of cwm as well?

I'm pretty sure, has all the verizon bloat and logos, also I'm pretty sure the causal applet bricks the international ones. I don't remember the version of twrp that the causal script flashed, but I tried that one, the most recent one, and 2.5 i think from EZ recovery. The stock recovery from EZ has the same issue now though which is what really confuses me. at the moment I have root dissabled and the bootloader is locked and its back with the stock recovery, it still says custom when i reboot the phone though.
