[Q] SD Not Mounting in CWM "Unable to write ums lunfile"

Hey All,
First time poster, long time lurker! i have learned so much from this community. thank you all for what you do. anywho lets get on with the show.
Having an issue with my SD. I cannot mount it all of a sudden in CWM. if i /mount/sdcard the error message i receive is something along the lines of error mounting sdcard.
if i try to mount USB storage i receive the error "E: unable to write ums lunfile (no such file or directory exists).
i cannot for the life of me figure out why.
I am Unlocked, rooted, S-on, running Pyro-ice 1.1.3
i have even tried to flash the stock recovery, flash stock rom, but it wouldnt even take that. through bootloader it would recognize the PG59IMG and get to the point where it would be checking the .zip and it would fail about 75% of the way through. i am at a complete loss guys. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

sd issue
sounds like a problem with your sd card. you should format your sd card to fat32. if that doesn't work, go to settings>sd & phone storage>factory data reset and make sure the 'erase sd card' option is checked (assuming you're still on the stock rom).

not on the stock rom. still on pyro-ice 1.1.3.
i have backed up my sdcard and reformatted to fat32 two times now. that doesnt seem to be the issue.
have tried a different sd card as well to no avail. how would i be able to get it to stock if i cant get my phone to read a sdcard? im assuming the answer is YOU CANT... ugh.
EDIT- i have just flashed stock recovery via fastboot and relocked bootloader. PG59IMG was found in bootloader during the scan and it has finally asked me to update. Going through the process now. WIll report back. Hope this short lived thread will hopefully be able to help at least someone in a predicament similiar to mine.

WELLLLLLL. i managed to get back to the stock rom. I unlocked bootloader once again and flashed cwm. once again. no sdcard can be mounted. i was able to mount the sd card with a mounting app in the market before i went stock. but CWM will not recognize the sd whatsoever. i need to flas su to get root so i can finally get s-off.
this is killing me. ugh.

cwm
try to re-flash/upgrade cwm recovery. it could be that your current cwm recovery is corrupted. xmc wildchild22 posted his cwm 5.5.0.4 in the dev section and it has worked well for me.

So here is where I am at now.
Managed to get stock rom installed and running with stock recovery and a relock of the bootloader. After that I was able to use the sd card normally while the phone was on, and in bootloader.
CWM will not mount the sd, nor will it mount usb storage. That being said, I can't install su via cwm to root, which I would then run JB to gain s-off. I flashed and reflashed all available versions of cwm, new and old with the same result.
Its certainly not a hardware issue seeing as I can use the sd normally while its on, and it even scans during bootloader. But cwm just will not take... I'm officially out of ideas... Help????

ota zip
if it's not a hardware issue, there might be an issue with your internal memory. i've seen instances where the recovery mmcblkxxx on internal memory can get corrupted.
so if you have an htcdev unlocked bootloader and jb s-off, you can flash zip's and ruu's now. try to flash the latest ota 1.63.531.2 PG59IMG.zip and see if it fixes the internal memory partition. i did this last week and although i had to re-unlock bootloader, the device kept s-off so you don't have to do jb all over again.
if this doesn't work, i would pm blue or another dev to find out how to actually format and restore the internal memory.

EDIT: have you always had this problem with all recoveries

I'm having this same issue, I can't even mount my SD while on a ROM. This happened after I flashed CWM 6.
Edit: Also the LED is ALWAYS orange now. Even in recovery.

That's the very same way mine was reacting as far as the orange light goes after a CWM 6 flash. But I COULD mount my sd card from there. It, for me, ended up being a corrupted user data partition that I couldn't get around for the life of me. I'm now waiting on a replacement phone. Should be here tomorrow.
IMHO, there's something about CWM 6 that isn't playing nicely with SEVERAL of the DS's partitions. That seemed to be indicated when it gave me errors on partitions 31 & 24 in particular when trying to do a test restore after my install.
XMC has added to the top of his OP under the header to not use CWM 6 until some of these issues can be addressed & resolved. I would heed that warning!

If you're not getting any partition error messages you MIGHT be able the use jonnycat's method pinned to the top of the developer's section to 'go back'. Mine seemed to be doing great until HBoot got to the user data partition and just hung there. It DID replace my boot & system files that CWM 5 OR 6 wouldn't touch. That is if you can't get ADB running to try what you may have in mind. I wish you ALL the luck in the world my friend!
I take it you're no longer under warranty?

+1 for warranty.
As long as your void sticker is still intact and no water damage, it should be ok.
You should call up htc asap, and figure it out. You may be in the last month or so, but a very good chance (90%+) you're still covered...
Do it! Do it now!!
I'd hate to see you go like this

That's true! HTC's warranty is for 1 year whether you took TMobile's insurance or not. I didn't have it but was covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Ok so here is whats up. 1, my SD was fried. Put in a new one, still did not work. Flashed official CWM, then wiped data/cache/dalvik. Phone booted, and SD is working fine. I can mount via CWM.

Thank goodness!!!!

Issue mounting hox to pc

I'm having a problem getting my phone to connect to my pc, I was able to connect to it about a week ago and transfer a few files(movies) over. But now when I plug it in all it dose is charge, no notification bar, no pop-up asking what I want to do, windows wont chime and detect it either, rebooted both phone and pc, and still nothing. I tried using all the ports on my pc front and back, and a different cable. However my friend can connect his phone to my pc(same port I always used for my phone) just fine, so I plugged my phone into a different computer and it just charges. I even checked to make sure it's still set to ask me on connection and default is to mount as well as debugging is on.
I went into the bootloader to see if I could mount through "fastboot USB" but it wasn't an option, when "adb devices" is used the list is blank, and HTC Sync show's no devices(installed sync to see if the drivers it had would fix things...it did not). I'm on 1.85 rooted but not unlocked and have tried just about everything short of doing a factory restore or running the 1.85 ruu which I'm holding out for last as I don't want to lose my files or root in case doing either doesn't work lol, so any help or advice is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance guys!

Did you check main settings, connect to pc an select your USB option?

Edit to add, I misread your post, it seems you did that already, my bad.

My HTC Flyer used to do that every once in a while (actually has not done it in a while) and its annoying as hell. Wiping cache and Dalvik cleared it right up. I do it from custom recovery, but if you don't have one installed, Market apps should let you clear the caches as long as you have root (which you mentioned you did). ROM Toolbox is one app that states it has this feature (but I haven't personally used it).
Otherwise, a factor reset should fix the issue.

What ROM are you running? I had this issue when I switched to a JB ROM that wasn't very far into development. It could be the ROM. Try entering recovery and mounting it through there.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

I tried Rom Toolbox but it tries to boot into recovery, and from there I get a picture of a phone with arrows, and then it becomes a red ! and then I have to reboot, so Im looking for any other app that may let me wipe the caches and will let y'all know when/if I find one that works. As for my rom, I'm running stock 1.85 as I never unlocked the bl, just gained root using the 1.85 method (did it all manually) but that a few months ago lol
>Edit
I ended up using an app called System Tuner to wipe my caches which did not fix my problem so I guess I'll have to try a factory reset *sigh*

The screen with the phone with arrows is the stock recovery. Its lame if the advertised feature of wiping cache and Dalvik in ROM Toolbox simply boots into recovery (and requires custom recovery), since custom recovery has these features anyway.
Here are a couple more apps that advertise the feature:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fm.kk&feature=search_result
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.j.y.daddy.customizer&feature=search_result
Again, can't vouch for any of them, and haven't used them (since I wipe cache & Dalvik from custom recovery).
BTW, if you do find an app or other method to wipe cache and Dalvik, be sure to reboot, if the method does not already force a reboot.

Are you rooted with a custom recovery flashed. If not rom toolbox will be of no help. The fact that you got the stock recovery tells me you have not yet flashed one. Maybe, if ur rooted download goomanager and install a recovery from there

Thanks for the links, unfortunately when I cleared both cache and Dalvik and rebooted and connected my phone it still only charges so I'm working on using drop box to pull a few backups I made before doing a factory reset or even using a ruu

I was under the impression I needed my bootloader unlocked to flash a new recovery. The only reason why I never unlocked mine was if something happened I could use my warranty until we got s-off, but at this point if I ever get this problemo fixed I'll just unlock it (might save me from a good bit of head aches later on lol)

What a stupid "feature"! If ROM Toolbox requires custom recovery to wipe cache and Dalvik, then its not a "feature" at all, since all custom recoveries can already do it!

That's what I thought, as well. 18th.abn has written this elsewhere, but I haven't seen it confirmed. If you feel comfortable, give it a try, and let us know. Especially if you are going to run the RUU anyway. Running the RUU will revert recovery back to stock.
If you can flash a custom recovery without bootloader unlock, what's to stop you from flashing custom ROMs?

yeah I had HTC Driver 3.0.0.007 installed before this problem, tried to reinstall them and tried to connect again and nothing, so I removed them again and installed HTC Sync to get the drivers from that and still nothing =\
If I don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash a recovery then really theres nothing stopping me now, albeit there's really nothing stopping me now in any case if I manage to fix the usb mounting problem haha

wellp...I did a factory reset and it still wont connect to my computer, so I'm now at a complete loss at what to do
-Edit
I downloaded goomanager and installed twrp but it shunts me back to the bootloader / fastboot and has a tag *** Security Warning ***

I'm at a loss as well. Seems like it might not be the software issue that has plagued my Flyer, and some other users. Does it look like anything in the USB port is damaged or bent?

That's what I thought. If you can install custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader, there is no purpose to unlocking the bootloader, as I think getting custom recovery on the device is the main obstacle to flashing ROMs. Thanks for checking.

well I took it to an at&t store yesterday and they couldn't even get it to connect to their device, so they gave me a number for phone warranty and told me they'll have me do a few trouble shooting steps and then when they realize it's the phone itself send me a new one. My main fear about this is once they get my current phone and they see it's got the security warning and tampered label in the bl will they claim I'm responsible?

sweet! best news Iv heard since this problem started (well as best as it gets in any case lol) I also took a look at the port itself on the phone and it dose not seem like anything is bent and/or damaged so I'm not sure exactly where the hell the problem is.

**Update** I got my replacement phone in, and unfortunately it's on the latest firmware =\ on the up-ish side I think I found out why my old oneX stopped reading...a friend of mine built a pc but his USB ports weren't working, turned out he had the usb lead plugged into a firewire header lol
Big thanks to everyone who helped out trying to find out what the heck happened to my phone!

Wait, so you are you saying their was nothing wrong with your phone?

to be honest, I'm not sure. A few days after I last had my phone hooked into my pc I plugged it into his and it never connected (which was normal at the time since nothing but his mouse/keyboard was able to connect) he had his plugged into the same port as well most the time but his was still able to connect to other computers. In short, it's just my guess that it's a possibility that my plugging it into his computer might have damaged it as we just found out last night he had the front panel usb lead plugged into a firewire header

Ahh, I see what you're saying. Maybe having the Firewire lead connected to the USB port shorted out the port on your One X?

bricked one x

So earlier i attempted to do the 2.2 root.
i managed to get as far as rooting, installing superuser and CWM
now, the problem is when i went to flash the rom, i tried to run the super wipe, but was getting errors about the sdcard not being able to be mounted. and the wipe was not performed/failed/aborted etc
i tried to run flash the rom still, it loaded, but still gave an error at the end and did not work.
reboot the phone, and i get the HTS quietly brilliant screen with red text that says"this build is for development purposes only...." and from here it does nothing but constantly reboot to this screen.
i am able to get to the bootloader screen, and fastboot works.
ive tried factory resetting the phone, as well as using the CWM recovery. i am unable to do any. as the CWM cannot write to e:\sd card
its not mounted, and i cannot mount it, when i try to reformat the sd card, it says it is unmounted.
mount usb storage was not working either, and said files were missing.
i read on other threads about needing the sd card reformatted, but the one x has an internal card.
please help
i feel like it can be fixed, but im really worried my phone is bricked
eta: i tried to revert to the stock ruu, but i think i should have read it more clearly.
so i guess i flashed the ruu that was NOT 2.2
now my CWM is gone, and i can only get onto the bootloader and fast boot
under fastboot devices my device's serial does show up
ETA: i reflashed with twrp, managed to wipe my sdcard, and am now able to mount.
from here my phone is still not able to boot up.
i can attempt to run the super wipe, but am still getting an error
"E:error in /sdcard"

im trying to install the Android Revolution HD 9.7.2 Ice Cream Sandwich
it allows me to choose settings, and such and start install.
after starting install, it goes through the files and such, but when it gets to /system/lib/ it just closes on itself, and goes back to twrp screen and recovery home. the rom never finishes installing. right now im gonna re-download the rom and see if that works.
if i cannot install the custom rom, how can i go back to stock exactly?
do i need to find the stock ruu?

fixed it.
turns out im stupid and was using a rom not compatible with this phone.
i flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907324 so far, and it seems to be working
however, i prefer something closer to stock. can anyone suggest a rom?

hopefully you aren't using cwm anymore and flashed twrp for the evita.

I didn't even have to use the search function. 2 are near the top of General. The remaining has slipped past the first page, but its still pretty high up there.
People who flash a ROM for the international version are simply neglecting to do any basic reading and learning before flashing things willy-nilly, that's my point.

thanks for the help guys. i flashed viper xl yesterday night right after, loving it thus far. i was just so used to the sense keyboard already, and hated the cramped jb keyboard, and this rom has simple little tweaks
i did read, but i guess not thoroughly enough. in hindsight, i wasnt aware that the one x was different than the xl, its fairly easy to miss that the other roms are not compatible with this phone. and is completely different alltogether.
if i had known that, i wouldnt have flashed cwm, and would not have need to post a help thread. all "solutions" i attempted on my own were based off readings of the hox, rather than the evita, once again causing more problems. it was easily enough fixed once i figured that bit of information out.
i am a noob, but this phone is not my first time rooting, so with my prior knowledge i felt i was more than ready to tackle this rom flashing, im sure plenty of others will make the same mistake as i did.
the other phones ive rooted and flashed had their one model of phone only, so all the roms available were compatible.
im just glad my phone is not bricked, and i now have root access

ive tried factory resetting the phone, as well as using the CWM recovery. i am unable to do any. as the CWM cannot write to e:\sd card
its not mounted, and i cannot mount it, when i try to reformat the sd card, it says it is unmounted.
mount usb storage was not working either, and said files were missing.
i read on other threads about needing the sd card reformatted, but the one x has an internal card.
please help
i feel like it can be fixed, but im really worried my phone is bricked
eta: i tried to revert to the stock ruu, but i think i should have read it more clearly.
so i guess i flashed the ruu that was NOT 2.2
now my CWM is gone, and i can only get onto the bootloader and fast boot
under fastboot devices my device's serial does show up
ETA: i reflashed with twrp, managed to wipe my sdcard, and am now able to mount.
from here my phone is still not able to boot up.
i can attempt to run the super wipe, but am still getting an error
"E:error in /sdcard"

Do not use CMW it causes lot of problems(not recommended for our device) . Use TWRP recovery instead

I knew what you did the second I saw the words "Android Revolution", as that ROM does not exist for our phone.

From what others are saying, the newer hboot that came with 2.20 is write protected. Hboot can't be overwritten by flashing a ROM for the international One X. ROM just fails to flash, and you get a recoverable condition like this one, as opposed to hard bricks on the older hboot.

Yea, at least there's one good thing that came with the dreaded update

If you want to ruu grab the ruu file...lock your bootloader from within fastboot and run the ruu

[Q] Bricked HOX? Please help.

I have an ATT One X, which I recently rooted. Yesterday I tried to flash a JB ROM and it said it was successful. However, now when I turn it on it just stays on the Quietly Brilliant screen indefinitely.
I can get into fastboot, and TWRP is there too.
I can't mount from within TWRP, as my computer just says the drive must be formatted before it can be used. I tried to run an RUU but it doesn't recognize that the phone is connected. Anytime I go to reboot, etc from within TWRP it tells me I have no OS.
Help? Please?

Reference the other 20,000 threads opened and answered about this topic

If it tells you in needs to be formatted... FORMAT IT!! Mount in twrp and right click removable storage. Choose format. Look down about 2 threads.. I literally just explained the process to another guy. Gotta read bro.

If you have no OS, download cleanrom 5.1, and trasnfer it to your phone. Flash that in twrp and you'll have your phone back... If you want to venture further, pm me and ill help you through it

Do not worry, ur phone not brick, just you did not flash kernel before flash rom. Always remember this, if you are on Hboot 1.14 or higher, flash kernel (boot.img) before flash rom. Now just extract the boot.img from the JB rom, hook phone to PC (make sure fastboot USB), using kernel flasher, and flash the kernel. Then bingo, your phone back to life!
*** Remember this, always nandroid backup, and as long as you can get into recovery mode, it means ur phone never been bricked!

twrp restoring data for quite some time now

Title says it all, trying to restore a nandroid of cleanrom1.1 with hk mod and art and it has been on restoring data for about 20 mins. Any suggestion? Pretty terrified to leave recovery without a removable battery

Anybody up? A booting phone would come in handy tomorrow. After trying to install gpe with some troubles, I decided I wanted to go back to cleanrom with a backup. The restore has been stuck on restoring data for a while. The system successfully restored, so I want to know a few things.
Can I leave recovery while stuck at the restore screen?
Can my system boot with just a restored system not data?
Can I somehow get out and back into recovery to clean install cleanrom?

I think I got it. Held power and vol up followed by power down and got into recovery again eventually, flashed per usual and its optimizing apps right now. Phew. On the bright side I'm entirely de sensitized with this phone after this brief heart attack

The latest TWRP is known to not restore Nandroids on this phone. Surprised you got it to work. Nowadays I don't Nandroid at all, I just use Titanium Backup. I know that method isn't perfect, but with Nandroid broken, it's what I got.
Like you discovered, devices with no removable battery have a virtual battery pull function that works independently of the phone's other functions. It's kind of like a kill switch.
It's always fun dealing with these issues, isn't it? Samsung phones, for all their faults, are pretty damn easy to work with. HTC... I'm finding, not so much, though when they do have a good ROM in them, they are some of the best phones out there.
Lastly, you're three versions out on CleanROM as of yesterday. I'm using 1.3 and once I get my USB cable, I'm updating to 1.4. H/K is a must.

You should use the twrp that buckmarble has posted. Its flawless. I tested it out good...it makes sense backups an restores them in under 130 seconds. Well for me it does everytime..j had trouble like you with the offical twrp.

Yes, I've heard; thank you.
I wonder if TWRP has abandoned the M8. Or maybe they're waiting on something (4.4.3 update?). I don't know.
130 seconds? When I was on the Galaxy S3 250-300 seconds backups/restores were common. I get that we have two more cores, but has disk write speed really gotten that much better? Depending on your ROM, you're writing 1-3GB to the SD card, and other disk operations are happening as well. I've had a few rogue 2 minute restores, but I expect closer to 4. Then again maybe you have a leaner setup. I'm strictly Sense only as long as H/K is. No H/K in AOSP means no AOSP for me until that changes.

Here is one I just made 5 mins ago just to show you. I backed up sense ROM 3.4 gigs as you can see an there is the 130 second backup. Check out the pic...also I restore it at 93 seconds but rebooted out of habit before I could take my pic of that lol....he did add his own kernel maybe that is what made it faster. Who knows but like I said I'm in the 130 range every time.....

Hello! I downloaded the recovery posted by buckmarble, currently using twrp. Earlier I thought I saw a thread explaining how to switch recoveries (easily) Now I can't find it anywhere, of course, right? Do u or anyone else know where I can get this info?
Thanks in Advance

Over the last few HTC phones on Vzw seems not to get any love from official twrp builds. I have been using one someone else built. Like on m7 santod's twrp was way better an stable an now buck's is hands down the best on m8. Maybe they don't like Vzw. Lol

I believe this is what I have been using since back when I got ny m8.. No issues to speak of.. In fact, this is the first time I heard of any

One huge problem is twrp don't have the partitions map right so if you r one of those users that use apps or the terminal emulator then you have just flashed twrp to your system partition an then your phone no longer boots to OS.. Which isn't the case on bucks build.. Myself I only fastboot so this isn't a issue but I have helped many m8 owners that ran into this. That's just for starters.

You use compression ? Or did you generate md5 or something.

Compression-yes no-md5
Is compression really not necessary?

NThat's why it takes so long. How long did it take on the other twrp with compression? I don't use that feature is why mine dont take that long..
I don't see the point behind using compression. Never have never will.
