ok. . total noob move here. just Got evo 4 this year. recently got a knock off z180. atleast I believe it is knock off. while trying to format EXTERNAL sdcard) I accidently hit internal. (First time I saw internal / external. everything has been file structure like a unrooted phone. device and sd card,
someone got an image on there and I am able to do factory reset of it however there are 4+ references to sdcards. so somehow I messed it up really good. which is the proper sdcard folder and what is the best possible image for the below so I can burn it and in the proper place. what ever I did either did something with the booting from sd or i am not too good with the connect mode. LOL
this is bare mimimun 10" tablet . no phone etc no camera etc
Image I currently have is

any ideas? or am i totally in wrong thread?

[Q][Urgent] "Zeus Flash Device" > hardbrick?

Excuse me in advance, for some reason XDA won't save it when I put an enter in this message, it pasted everything into one big text. It's hard and annoying to read. I'm sorry!
Edit: fixed it by typing HTML codes
A few weeks ago I ordered a (micro) SD-card in China, it arrived two days ago.
I backed up the internal storage and external SD from my phone, then replaced the ext-sd with the new Chinese 32gb card, and switched the internal and external memory as per @TeamMex 's thread.
(Of course using the CM10 mountpoints as I was on the PureCyanogenmod+ ROM).
Then I tried to restore my apps with TitaniumBackup, but I found out that the apps now installed on the SD (the 32gb Chinese card that is mounted as internal storage) kept disappearing after a reboot, having me to restore them again.
This also happened most of the time with reinstalling via playstore, and then restoring the data via TiBu.
I figured it might be a disk issue, so I tried fixing the sdcard with windows disk repair, and even linux' "dosfsck", but nothing really happened and the card kept acting strange.
So I was trying to correctly format it via the phone itself, but then it didn't mount anymore. I decided to pull out the card and restore it via a card-reader, hoping that would finally work, so I pulled the battery out of my phone, and pulled the card out.
And now here it comes: I tried to turn on my phone, but it didn't do anything, no led, no screen, no vibration.
I decided to plug it to my PC to see if it did anything, but the phone itself did nothing.
Yet, although I didn't click anything on the phone, the PC started to install drivers, later they turned out to be called "ZEUS flash device" drivers.
As far as I found on google up till now, I've read that means I probably have a hard brick.
Is there any other reason for my phone to list the "ZEUS flash device" drivers or not?
Anyway to restore my phone from here, as it still installs drivers to my PC, meaning there must be some tool that can flash something to it, or is it dead?
I hope someone can help me or explain more of my situation.
Phone: Sony Xperia Tipo, ST21i
ROM: PureCyanogenmod+
PC OS: Windows 7 & Ubuntu 12.10 dual-boot
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Drago

uhmm try using other SD card and other usb port,
maybe ur sd card was damaged since you sent it
flashtools is used to repair the phone, if that does not work you will have to go to a technician to use medussa box
cheers.

either medusa or setool box, setool also has the bootloader specifically for this qualcomm chipset, so you can reflash if you have access to a setool box.

[Q] Phone broken or still hope?

Hello everydody, I am experiencing some difficulties with my Samsung, model GT-I9003-phone which "dropped off a lorry" somewhere next to my relatives somewhere in Asia. When I goth the device, it was in a non-working condition, except a boot-loop and the download-mode. Back then, I had the package of the phone where the exact version ( I don't know if this is what is called "Baseband" or at least is called baseband at my wife's GT-I5003) was specified. So, back then, I was able to find the exact ROM for the device. Unfortunately, the box with the version number now is - somewhere.
After flashing a stock-rom, I managed to enter recovery-mode where I read something about the internal memory being corrupt. As far as I can recall, I then mounted the external SD-Card and somehow managed to reboot the system back to almost normal operation. Even reboots appeared to work normal, besides the fact I had no memory access, neither to internal nor to external sd. In addition, GPS malfunctioned, too.
Unfortunately, even this state didn't last for long time. After several weeks of now-and-then-use, the system just broke down again into a boot-loop. After some time of flashing a variety of stock roms, I managed to flash clockworkmod recovery which works perfectly well. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to root the phone before it "collapsed" again. Besides the possibility, I'd guess this could be a resaon for CWM being unable to flash a custom rom? Otherwise, I'd just test my way through the varieties of versions .
Basically, I do have two questions: 1. is there a possibility to find out if internal memory has failed - and if yes: How?
2. Is it possible to install any version of CM on that phone in the condition it is in?
Thanks a lot in advance for any answers

Hello everybody, I finally found the box . It reads GT-I9003MKDTHL. Is my assumption right that there are no such things as basebands in the GT-I9003 any more and I should be able to flash pretty much any firmware? Furthermore, today I tried to format what is specified as "sd-card ext" in CWM fir GT-I9003 and it gives me an error-message. When I flash "sd-card", my external sd-card gets formatted. So, I'd presume the internal sd is just fried. I read about a workaround for GT-I 9000, where someone installed Androd on a partitioned external SD. Is there somebody who knows someboy having heard about somthing similar working with the GT-I9903?

One step forward...
Hello everybody, I finally managed to get some light into my issues as I once again figured out how to get a software installed and running . It's this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329200
Thanks a lot to the guy who just posted it somewhere where id could do good...
By the way, I figured out that this software actually includes the Baseband.
As in this version, the original recovery system is running and giving me an error message when I start it without external SD-card, I am now quite sure that the internal memory has just failed as this error message was specified in another posting of someone who had a similar issue with a GT-I9000.
The biiiig "Outch" is, that I am unable to install any CWM Recovery System with that Baseband..This results in me not being able to upgrade the software to ICS, where - as far as I read some troubleshoot-information - will enable me to mount an additional partition on my SD-Card as Data-Partition which isn't possible yet (i.e.: I can't access my SD for storing data or whatever - it's just specified as "not there").
I tried to install the XXKPE-Baseband to be able to go for KPQ which would enable me to install CWM Recovery. I also installed Bagarias CWM-normalboot-image via Heimdall - but I was unable both to boot the OS and to find any trace of a zip-file on the SD-card.
Edit: I managed to install the right CWM - it's mentioned in the post where I've got the firmware from... now, I only have to figure out how to deal with the fact that "officially" there is no SD-card inserted - or, better, that this SD-card is now flagged as "internal SD" - and how that machine can find the zip-file on it
Thanks for every bit of help with that issue

Try Aroma File Manager with Terminal
For SDCard issue you could probably switch them in vold.fstab in /system/etc
Good Luck !!!

No SD Card/Insufficient Memory Error

Hi guys, I installed the kitkat 4.4.2 update a few days ago to try it out (the international patched version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581548 I installed the file using CWM and also made a back up of my phone.
I then went back to my backup as kitkat was running terrible and I couldn't get in to setting menu plus all the lag.
When I did the restore everything seemed fine but I realise now that I am getting a lot of errors with the file system, I can't take pictures as it says "your internal storage is running out of space, delete some images or other files". If I try and view images on the phone it says "no external storage available" and the other place the error is obvious is when using chrome or any browser it will say "no sd card" and will not allow me to save any files.
I'm unsure whats happened. I'm also getting another error using PDANET the app will connect while the phone is running the OS but when in the bootscreen it simply says "HTC error- 1" which is supposed to be an issue with HTC phones.
If anyone knows anything or can help me get this back to normal please help as i'm completely lost.
Thanks
Ryan

I had the same problem
I had the same problem in exactly the same circumstances, I tried various things and thought I had bricked my G as I had nothing except fastboot and that was a bit flakey
However, the files linked to on this page, http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-moto-g-uk-generic-firmwarestock-rom/ seem to have brought back my phone and solved the SD problem

I had the same problem and I was freaking out as there was no clear solution on the internet.
Then I did some research, and found the cause to be the partitioning of the SD card. It happens either when you format your internal SD card using the recovery or when flashing ROMs that fail to partition SD properly. The solution is not to format the SD again as this didn't work for me but to fasboot the stock firmware which re partitions the SD card in the correct format.
Hopefully this helped! The links to the stock firmware can be found in the android development section.

storage issue on Android phone (cant mount, is my data gone?)

Hi everyone,
Since this is purely a question about the storage of my phone I thought it wouldn't really be necessary to post this on the HTC One S boards (since it's also an old phone and those boards might be a little dead) If this belongs somewhere else I apologize and I hope a mod can move it to the right boards.
So I have a HTC One S, I use CM11 on it with TWRP 2.8.5.0 and HBOOT 2.15, not sure if that's relevant information.
The HTC One S does not have any slot for a SD card, it has 16gb of internal storage.
Here's what happened: I wanted to go into my recovery but instead accidentally hit the FACTORY RESET that's right below it in the bootloader.
It did not ask for any confirmation and immediately showed me the HTC logo which means my phone is rebooting, this is where I (probably) made the mistake to hold the power button down to try and stop the factory reset of my phone.
I realize it was risky to hit the power button in the middle of a factory reset but let's just say I slightly panicked.
So my phone boots up and everything seemed to still be the same. Nothing was reset.
But a little later I notice the internal storage is unmounted. At least I think it is, see pictures:

When in TWRP -> Mount I am unable to mount "Internal storage", it simply doesn't allow me to check it in the list.
As I try to run the TWRP backup, it shows it is unable to mount the internal storage:

I have found some instructions of how to get the storage to mount, but it involves wiping the internal storage and I wanted to try and recover my date before wiping it completely.
I've tried several recovery software but none of them even detect the disk, and Windows only goes as far as seeing a non responding "Removable Disk":

Furthermore when I try to connect it as a USB mass storage device it simply attempts but after a few minutes goes back to the "Turn on USB storage" button.
i.imgur.com/yK56jHW.jpg
I understand it's very likely that I will have to wipe the disk to be able to use it again, but I want to be completely sure there isn't a way to recover my data first.
Thanks for reading and any help you can offer.

well ,if you are rooted you can try to recover your stuff ,with an apk called disk digger from google playstore,, but it costs money... however you can find it for free on google ... just search disk digger apk free full download...hope i helped

Thanks for the reply, apparently I cant install some app either without an internal memory including the one you mentioned.
I think my next step is going to have to be wiping everything :/ hoping my internal memory will even work after that.
