No SD card - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please help... I have flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goog...eview-t2796003 with the recovery method and now I can´t see my files because the mobile sais that I don´t have SD Card. I tried this to solve it using this:
Got "No SDCard" error?
This is because 4.4.x seems to point to: storage/emulated/0 & L points to: data/media/0
Solution:
- Mount system in TWRP/CWM
- Wipe system, dalvik, data, cache
- Unmount system
- Install ROM
- Factory reset
- Reboot
- Go back to recovery & flash SuperSU (link above).
- Reboot
But doing that I only can see the folders, but when I enter in them it doesnt show any file
When I try to restore the nandroid backup that i make before install Android L I cant see the file on TWRP so I can´t restore it... How can I come back to KitKat?

It was mentioned on another thread but I don't remember by whom so can't give proper credit but from a terminal emulator on your phone run
su
storecon -r /data/media/0/*
See if that works

The first time I flashed L I had the same problem. Are you trying to get back to 4.4.4? You're going to lose all data on your device flashing back

Ok, I get back to 4.4.4 by flashing again my ROM and once I did that, I could be able to see files on the KitKat storage, I moved the nandroid to the L storage and I restored it. But now I have the problem that now I have two different storages (The L´s one it´s the preset) How could I change the storage now? restorecon -r... What else?

Lost phone storage???

So this morning I made a Nandroid backup (everything was acting normal) and I flashed the LeeDroid ROM then his insecure boot image since my phone wouldn't boot without that. Since then, my phone just will not recognize the internal SD card from Android (although, it is fine in Recovery). I posted about this in the LeeDroid thread because I thought it was ROM specific, but I just restored my Nandroid and the issue persisted. I have no clue what happened here. Any ideas?
Not sure if it is related but since I flashed the new ROM (even after restoring) I get that Android is Upgrading (runs through all apps optimizing) screen on each boot. Is this related to the boot img? Would the boot img have restored when I ran the Nandroid?

Hi I saw your issue in the LeoDroid thread also. I think if I were you I would flash the stock HTC recovery and do a factory reset with that. Or flash a RUU file.
To answer your question though, if you restore a nandroid it does include your old boot.img

Why would the recovery be involved though? I don't get what caused this. The Recovery console sees my memory card just fine.
Ok so in ROM Toolbox - Root Browser, the sdcard shows up as a file, not a folder. When I click on it, it has empty contents. Does this help? I have full permissions on the file. The sdcard is pointed to /mnt/sdcard but when I specifically go there, it is empty. When I check permissions on sdcard under mnt, they are all unchecked and when I check them off, it is unsuccessful... ARGH
Could someone post their fstab file for me so I can mimic it and push to the phone, I think it is related.
Thanks
Ok so I do have an fstab file and here are the contents
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard emmc /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host
Is that correct? Why does the mount command in the shell day fstab not found or corrupt?

May be a stupid question, but in settings it doesn't show anything under Phone Storage? What do you see there? Can you try to format it? Can you put a screen shot of your Storage settings? Here is what mine looks like.
You say you can access SDCard from Recovery, did you try to go to Mount and Storage and format SDCard?
FYI I'm on leedroid.

Do you have important files on the sdcard your trying to recover? If not have you gone back to a stock recovery and tried to clear storage yet?

I think a simpler fix is simply this:
1-flash stock recovery
2-boot into stock recovery
I have not heard of this not working yet.

This method was posted awhile ago. Though I suppose it didn't have your nice little .bat.
Please Help!
I can't flash anything to my phone, says can't mount /sdcard. while in recovery, but the sdcard is still accessable through the OS.
The red dragon link is down, says there's to much traffic to the public link. Is there another way to obtain this? I need to flash a call quality fix for Sense 5. Can't hear anything on any outgoing calls.

Swich ROM

Hi,
I have Cromi 5.3 and I wanted to switch to cm 10.2, but I can't flash the ROM. My bootloader version is 10.6.1.27.5 and I have TWRP 2.5.0.0, but I have that strange splitted windows issue so I used fastboot instead. First, I did those commands :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

then I did this :

but that didn't work. I can flash a recovery, but not a ROM
I dont know what to do to install without bricking my tablet.
Thanks

Does the recovery work when you flash a recent 2.6.3.0 -42 TWRP?

I just flashed it and I have the same problem

On the split screen, can you confirm that 2.6.3.0 is actually on the device, or if it failed despite what fastboot said.

On the picture, I have the 2.6.3.2 version, but I also tried 2.6.3.0 with the same result :
Look up Buster's recovery script in the general section and try using that. It should reset the device completely.

Hi,
Thanks, I solved the problem by installing the stock rom and put back twrp 2.6.3.0 but I still can't install cm 10.2, it says '' Unable to find partition size for '/recovery' " and '' Unable to find partition size for '/boot'

My personal advice would be to flash 2.6.3.1 TWRP and then install a KitKat ROM, or CM11 in your case. It is much faster anyways.
I chose omnirom instead thanks for your help

FIRST You can flash a stockrom using Odin. Which region // carrier do you need? (Country or region and may be branding).
I can try find one for you. If a normal firmware update doesn't work THEN you can use a splitted firmware and choose re-partition when using Odin.
Already did I tell u full storey I have i9000 with internal storage damage as u can see in picture so what I did make partition on external sd card and install software on it through odin and it's working except camera it's showing disable usb storage before using camera so now condition is I want to format internal storage of phone so I can install OS ON PHONE rather then SD card
Odin refuses auf normal Flash? Have You tried auf Firmware with re-partition? What firmware do you flashed last? And have you siply tried to root/using custom recovery to format the storage?

Latest PhilZ CWM --> philz_touch_6.19.3-galaxysmtd.img which has some different options to format partitions.
You can easily flash it using "flashify" from the playstore. I suppose you are ROOTED <-!!!!!!!!!!

twrp - can't install this package on top of incompatible data

i have followed all the steps using NRT to unlock boot-loader and root the phone.
Installed TWRT manager and flashed the recovery.
Now i am trying to flash CM12 for the first time and stuck with error message "can't install this package on top of incompatible data" during flashing .
downloaded the following flash zip from CM website: cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip (281.77 MB)
Can any one help me what needs to be done to proceed further.
i didnt wipe the data before. Now its working and closing the thread
I wiped everything on my phone via TWRP. Still getting this error!
This topic is old but in case someone else gets here I got a solution - Change /data partition filesystem to ext4 or other supported by ROM

xiaomi note 4g dior
Let me tell my story,
My friend gave me an old xiaomi note 4g which was stuck at the MI icon on boot,
Luckily the phone did not lock boot-loader
So I use xiaomi flash rom to flash global room , it worked after i tried sometimes.
Then I booted to the phone, and other problem came, the phone was linked with an Mi Account , and my friend forgot everything about it
not email, no phone number
I did a search and they said the only way to bypass the MiAccount is using a Resurrection ROM or balallala
so I ended up with using
1. fastboot to install twrp
2. open twrp --> open adb sideload mode.
3. Open window command line and install Resurrection ROM though adb sideload
While installing rom though adb slideload , i got the same issue with topic
SO i cleared data and tried again,
IT WORKED , NO MORE ****ING MiAccount
THANK a lot

Hi
Playing with my wife's Nexus 5, bootloader unlocked, rooted, and latest TWRP installed but when trying to flash from android 6.0.1 to Lineage, I'm getting an error 7 image shown I hope.....
Is this just because I haven't wiped the data first ? (I'm fairly sure but...)
I dont dare try 'cause if it's not that she'll kill me, so would like to be sure before I wipe all her data..
Thanks
Update, it was that I just wiped all except the SD and flashed, all is just great
