Can't mount corrupted internal sd - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi all. I was trying to install android revolution on my Rogers one x and something went wrong while flashing the ROM. It does not show up as a removable drive when in twrp and connected to my PC. I have done a search on this forum and can not find a solution. I have lost my backups that were in the SD. I know it is possible to reformat as I have done this I this before. Can anyone give me directions or provide a link to them. Thanks

I feel like such an idiot for not being able to figure this out. This happened once before while trying to flash a Rom on my evita.

Well, I had that yesterday. I rebooted into Cwm recovery, connected the phone to my PC with the USB cable, and went to mount SD Card in Cwm. The drive appeared on windows and I could reformat it.

When I plug mine into the pc and press mount while in twrp it does not show up. I am stumped.

Your first problem is that you're flashing a ROM that isn't meant for this device, you've been wandering into the wrong forum, make sure you stay in the one you're posting in now.
Try using the advanced wipe feature of TWRP to wipe the sd card, which should format it.

Thanks for your reply. I should have clarified. I was trying to flash ARHD 4.18.401.3 which is supposed to be a stock Rom for the evita. I downloaded it from the I did an advanced wipe but it still does not show up on my pc.

No that's what I'm saying, there is no ARHD for Evita, only for Endeavoru. You're getting your phone HTC One XL/at&t One X (Evita) mixed up with the HTC One X (Endeavoru), they're completely different devices. You're lucky you didn't brick. Try flashing CWM recovery instead.

Oh I see. What an idiot I am. I totally forgot that there were 2 different versions. I'll see if I can flash via otg cable.

Hi all. I am still having no luck getting my evita recognized by my pc so I can mount it. I get a beep from the pc when I plug it in, in bootloader mode. I have reinstalled abd and htc sync to get the drivers. it appears to recognize my device while it is checking the media on it, but when it is complete it says no phone attached. I even deleted htc sync and just left the drivers, but still no joy. I just don't get it. My m7 is recognized on my pc, so I would imagine that the drivers are there. When my evita is off and I push power and volume down to get into bootloader, the capacitive buttons do not flash like they used to. Can anyone offer any information? I wonder if someone would be able to help me over Team viewer? I feel so lost. Never had these problems with my m7. Thanks.

The button lights only flash while using the button combo while the phone is already turned on, if the device is switched off it just boots into the bootloader without any flashing lights. As for why your device isn't being recognised, it's really difficult to troubleshoot without actually having access to the device and the PC.

Thanks Timmaaa.

Well I have managed to fix my Evita two nights ago. I deleted my SDK tools and various programs and reinstalled them all. Then I was able to flash a boot.img via fastboot. My device was still not able to mount on my PC but I was able to flash a ROM via an otg cable. Today I managed to achieve s-off with firewater and then super-cid. I am overjoyed. Thanks to all who helped. Have to figure out how to change status to solved.

Deleted OS

Hey all, so last night when I was trying to flash a new ROM onto my phone, I wanted to make sure I deleted everything off my previous ROM so I went into TWRP and basically went on a deleting frenzy. I wiped basically everything from system, os, to cache. Lets just say my thought process wasn't so smart. So now im stuck in hboot. I pmed Scrosler yesterday and he basically told me to RUU back. SO now for the last 5 hours I've been trying to look up how to do that. I downloaded a 1.85 Evita cingular RUU thingy, and tried using fastboot. Now I've run into another problem, my computer can't recognize my usb. Ive tried two different usb plugs of mine. I tried uninstalling HTC sync so that it could uninstall drivers and such, and then reinstall but to my avail that has not worked. So I can't even fastboot. So now I'm stuck and Ive looked on other peoples threads and such and can't figure this out. Yes I know I'm a noob. I SUCK. So if anyone could please help me out. Im rooted and unlocked bootloader. I get stuck in bootloop obviously because I dont have a OS. I can access Hboot and fastboot.
Thanks alot for anyone that could help me in this great time of need.
EDIT: I solved the problem. I just used my fathers computer which recognized my usb and RUU'd to 1.85 then unlocked bootloader etc. thanks for the help guys

Doesnt HTC sync manager already update/install the latest drivers for your phone automatically?
You should manually install the drivers and turn off HTC sync manager. That may be your problem. I would uninstall it.

Ok, so I uninstalled HTC sync. I found a link to download ONLY the drivers.
Yep, getting same error still, USB device not recognized.
Try mounting the storage in TWRP, PC should recognize the 'removable disk' and you can put a zip onto it and flash the rom that way.
This way worked for me when I did the exact same thing. I thought I was screwed; now I'm running TN SE 2.2, highly recommended.

I tried doing this last time, but my PC isnt recognizing my device. It says USB device not recognized. This is the major issue I am plagued with otherwise I would do as you said.'''
EDIT: Ok so I was able to get it recognized on my dads laptop, he is running Windows Vista. So now when I go onto my computer and mount cache, (cant mount sd card through twrp because it says E:failed to mount /sdcard(invalid argument)AND UNABLE TO MOUNT SDCARDWHEN TRYING TO READ SETTINGS FILE) oops caps), it says I have to format it. I right clicked and tried to open as portable device and that works but I can't drag my ROM in there.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this because the new HBoot is stopping the 1.85 RUU? Wouldn't you have to 2.2 RUU?

he is correct, you'll have to use the 2.20 ruu if you were on a 2.20+ rom. unfortunately you'll have to wait for a root method too :/

But assuming you were unlocked before, getting it back is just a matter of flashing a custom recovery and superuser.

[Q] Bricked??

i recently tried to install jellybean but the rom did not work on nexus s, i stupidly removed the only working rom from my 'sd' card and now my phone only boots into a black screen, i have tried to put a known working rom on my phone but every pc i try to connect my phone to says the device has malfunctioned and windows cannot install software. i have tried to use adb but that also cannot find my device. am i looking at getting another nexus with a broken screen and using my working screen to gain a decent phone back or am i missing a vital programme that will fix my utter cockup? thanks in advance
Are you familiar with adb? Because unless you have the right drivers, you phone won't be recognized. Also, usually your computer won't notify you when you're connected and able to use adb, you have to start the interaction through cmd.exe. this being said, try adb again to move a rom or backup into your device.
Also, can you boot into fastboot? If so, is there a warning message or anything?

i am only famililar with adb to the point of rooting, i have tried to download the drivers but only can see .dll files in the driver folders no option to install said drivers. i can get into power and vol up if that is fastboot?? the problem been is i installed a rom which was meant for the nexus s and i didnt read all comments and later found out it does not work with the nexus. i now cannot access the sd storage to put a working rom onto it . when i open cmd and type adb shell it says device not found. brains ready to explode right now. any help on adb is greatly appriciated
Fast boot is when you phone is off, you turn it on by pressing volume up+power at the same time. Let me know if there is a warning text in red at the top.
Do you know how to flash factory images? Because you may be able to do that to get a stock os on your phone. It would wipe everything, however. Flashing a factory image doesn't require you to open SD storage. I'd link you to the thread with the tutorial, but I'm on mobile :/ ill post it if i get a chance, i know its floating around in the nexus s android forums

Well it seems you sdcard isn't dead, which is good! When mine was, fastboot gave me an error.
Now IMO, you should be able to flash a stock recovery image. This will clear everything you have on ur phone, but it should get it back to working condition.
Ill post a tutorial on how to do it tomorrow, that's the soonest i can get on a computer. It is not that hard, and it helps when you're already somewhat familiar with adb. I used to be a noob too, now I'm slightly less noobish!
So as i said, i think i have a solution, ill post how tomorrow, when i have a PC (in on mobile right now).
Cheers, i hope i can fix your phone!

Alright, so this is the guide to install a factory image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307
What a factory image will do, is restore your phone completely to a new like state. That being said, you will lose anything you have on the phone (picture, music, etc..). I don't know of any other way to help, so if you're willing to lose everything, but get your phone working, continue reading.
-First, you have to determine what model on Nexus S you have. If you're on AT&T or Rogers, you have an I9020A, and you have to download the "sojua" factory image. If you're on T-mobile, or have the version with an S-LCD display (as opposed to the normal AMOLED), you have to flash the "soju" factory image. If you're not sure what version you have, let me know what carrier you're with.
-Second, download the Factory image corresponding to your phone from the link I posted, as for version, that's up to you, but I recommend 4.1.2 (JB).
-Third, Make sure you have all the right drivers, and the android-sdk installed. You should already have this, since you've use adb before.
-Fourth, follow steps 1,2,3 and 4A in the link I posted above.
Follow these instruction, and if you do not understand them before doing the procedure, just ask a question here! good luck!

[Q] Custom Roms Won't Boot

So I've recently rooted and put TWRP on my AT&T One X with the intention of putting Jelly Bean on it. I've tried to put countless ROMs on it, doing the proper wiping procedures and what not, but as soon as I install the ROM, when I boot and get past the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, the screen goes black and all I see is a repeating white bar across the top of the screen that appears and disappears as if the phone is attempting to get through the boot but won't. It's really frustrating. This is my first experience with rooting an HTC phone, even though I have a lot of experience with other phones I've owned. I follow the directions for each ROM I've tried, and nothing seems to work. Anyone care to assist me?

Thanks so much! Another question real quick. It doesn't seem as though my PC is recognizing my One X anymore...especially when I'm attempting to do something like flashing images. It will notice it in terms of mounting the disk drive for file transfers and HTC sync, but not for anything else. I'm thinking that its an issue with Windows 8 and the HTC drivers.

press and hold power. THe capacitive buttons will blink a bunch of times then the screen will go black. When it does, let go of power and press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up.

You should fully research and understand any root/mod process, before you start it. You also shouldn't rely on YouTube guides, this being one of the many reasons.

Since my **** up with trying to install cyanogenmod, my phone has been in continuous bootloop and only going as far as the HTC screen before rebooting. I can get it into twrp. How would I be able to get the zip file from my computer to my phone? Is there something else I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks for any suggestions.

Go into TWRP, connect your phone to pc, select mount in TWRP menu, select mount usb storage, your phone should show up as a removable drive now, copy file from pc to phone.

Hi Timmaaa. I tries what you suggested and it still did not show up on my computer. My computer makes the same sound as it always does when an external device is attached. When in tarp and I press mount, a window opens up which shows the storage. It says SD card (0MB). Should something be checked off in partitions to moun t? I tried to mount the SD several times an nothing shows up. Thanks.

I have now found out that it does not show up as an htc device. It shows up as an f drive and a g drive. I tried to copy the gapps to the g drive and it said I need to format the removable disk. I hope that this works.

Ah ok, you did a factory reset in bootloader at some point didn't you, that corrupts your sd card. You will need to format it like Windows instructed, format it to fat32 format and you'll be able to access it again. Unfortunately any data you had on it has been wiped now, I hope there wasn't anything too important on there.

Thanks. I did reformat the SD card as windows asked. Then I copied both files onto my phones SD cars and followed the instructions again using twrp. It said that they were both installed successfully but theCyanogenMod home screen did not come up after completion. When I reformatted the SD card, I just let windows do. I did not set it to format to anything specific. I will try it again when I get home tomorrow from work,. Thanks again for your help.

If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after you've flashed the ROM and gapps.

Thanks. I am s-on. I will look at it tomorrow and figure out how to do that.

Just extract the boot.img from the root of the ROM zip, put it in your fastboot folder on your pc, bit your phone into bootloader and connect it to your pc, wait for it to say fastboot usb on your phone display then give this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now reboot your phone and it'll boot into the ROM.

Hi Timmaaa. I am still having problems flashing the boot.img from cyanogenmod to my Evita. I put it I'm my fastboot folder and typed in the command as you have told me. I get this message pop up from fastboot.exe. ( this application has failed to start because AbdWinApi.Dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem). I just do not understand what I could be doing wrong. Is it possible I am not using the right folder? I started this a week ago but got the Norovirus from work and could not reply sooner. Thanks for any assistance you can give.

I believe I did have the wrong folder. I just tried the afastboot ADB folder and it worked. Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it greatly.
