[Q] Unable to mount sd card - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I tried to flash the Flyer port (bootloop) I could not mount my sd card. So I could not flash another rom, even trough fastboot.
I've tried different SD cards and it is certainly the phone.
I tried to flash another hboot (CM7 instead of stock hboot) but this didn't help.
Afterwards I flashed another recovery through fastboot (I think it was cwm 2.5 Instead of cwm 3.0.2.4) with no result.
Then I tried to flash a nandroid backup through fastboot but he said the system file was too big (250mb), luckily I had a smaller system (oxygen, without sense 2.3.3 80-90MB) and it worked well.
Now I can, at least, boot my phone normally, but for example the music player said there is no SD card.
The last thing I tried was flashing a RUU rom: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667)
The strange thing is that windows says the battery is below 30%, even when my phone is fully charged. No idea why.
Does anyone have an idea what else I can do?
Thanks,
Stienoo

About SD card, I always had the same problem. But is there a message in notification bar ? As "Sd Card corrupted" or "read only" ? If so, you will have to format it with à PC and restore data with the PC. To prevent it, don't turn off your phone in à bad way. And unmount SD card in recovery before reboot.
Sorry for you.

Which recovery ROM are you using?
I use ClockworkMod, which has the option to mount the SD card, even if the OS is not running. Maybe you could try to put another ROM to your SD card and try to install it after a wipe.

Bootloader and recovery should be fine. You have done nothing that would affect them......

You should be able to flash another Rom.
Otherwise copy the pd98img to your SD card enter bootloader, let it do its thing ...
Guess.. Remove and re-plugged the sd card. , might be the remount it.

Desire Z hboot install only with your phone

I have been following closely the G2 rom development threads and up to now everything has gone well.
If you want to install Virtous new roms you must install the new PC101.img first.
As didnt want to setup a ADB enabled PC again, I just followed these steps.
1-Ensure you already have a 4 way reboot rom (Recovery, hot restart, restart, and bootloader).
2-Download the new PC101.img to the root dir of your minisd card. Be prepared with a PC and minisd card reader. Or prepare another sdcard with any rom.
3-Reboot phone into bootloader. Be sure the PC101,img is on the minisd installed on your phone.
4-You will be in the bootload-reset-etc menu (the white menu). Select bootload.
This will flash your phone with the new PC101.img. You will see a small vertical line filling up as it flashes.
5-When finished, it will prompt you to reboot your phone. Do so.
6-You will see the green HTC logo, just let it there for 3 minutes and dont panic, you still have to install a rom. Pull battery.
7-Now swap the minisdcard with the card that contains the rom (Unity works great). Install battery and push the on button while pressing volume down to go to Clockwork recovery mode.
8-Install rom. No need to wipe as the new PC101.img formatted the internal 4Gb ram.
Thats it, hope it works.Worked for me.
I thought the file had to be pc10img.zip?

Yes, that one. Sorry, will edit. Thanks for the point out.
I tried but it keeps telling me no image or wrong image.

I believe theres a thread that contains all stock and modded hboots. Also has instructions. May I ask why would you return to stock?

I would chance to say that it has to be renamed to capital letters, as in runs in a 'nix environment.

HTC EVO Bootloop

Hey guys, quick question.
My friend has an HTC EVO on Spring. Not rooted, nothing. It's completely stock. It just started acting weird. I pulled the battery and it went into bootloop. When i press the volume rockers + on button it will boot into recovery mode? if thats what it's even called.
After a while of bootlooping the phone shows an image of a phone with a triangle with an exclamation point in it.
Any help?
I've got an infuse, so i'm ok with flashing and rooting and whatnot, i jsut dont know how to reset the HTC.
Sounds like an ota update that was interrupted or a bad ota update
Try this.
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sup...51.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe
Its the original RUU. I think you need HTC Sync to use it. I could be wrong seeing I don't have an EVO.

I started with the basics and wiped the phone data and it booted right up. Now lets see if it stays running...
Just for future reference, is there a way to completely wipe the phone (rom and all) and start fresh?
On the infuse platform we use ODIN. Not sure if there is something similar on the EVO

On the evo you use a RUU it returns you to complete stock no recovery no root but you will still be s-off. RUUs can be flashed through fastboot or renamed and flash in the bootloader

If you have a card reader you can transfer it to the sdcard or use your phone transfer it to the sdcard and put the sdcard back in the evo

Cannot Mount SD Card in CWM

Hello, Ive been having many problems with my HTC One X for a few days now, Right now I've managed to get fastboot working again as it wouldn't show up before. Right now the problem is that there isn't a ROM installed on my phone and for some reason CWM won't mount the SD card so I can't format it or even open it through USB. Is there any fix for this?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Andy
https://www.dropbox.com/s/guvfqd7tp8acxg6/recovery 5.8.4.0.img
download this one, rename it to recovery.img and flash it.
enter it and go to mounts and storage and tap the last option in the list (mount as USB)

Thankyou so much! I've managed to get it mounted on the computer now, what format does it need to be so CWM can mount it?
I can now mount my SD card onto the computer and format it/put files on it. However I have tried formatting the card to NTFS, FAT32 and FAT. When I go back into CWM and try and format/mount the SD card it still says:
"Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format...
Done."
Does anyone know what format it needs to be, or what the problem is?
Thanks, Andy
I think the original formatting is VFAT, so try that.
You could also try TWRP instead of CWM and see if it formats correctly.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
I always format it as fat32. Even from windows. Never had trouble. Did you do a bad sector scan ?
Thankyou for your replies.
What can I use to format it to VFAT? I'm installing TWRP now to try. What program should I use for bad sector scan?
Thanks, Andy
In TWRP, go to settings, untick 'use rm -rf instead of formatting'
Then wipe > external storage.

Managed to get it formatted with TWRP and put my ROMs folder onto the sdcard. Thanks so much!
Although now I'm back to the original problem, no ROM will install! the installation goes through as if it has worked and then I just end up stuck at the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen. Any ideas on what can cause this?
Thanks, Andy

I forgot that step, I have now flashed boot.img now and reinstalled the ROM, still stuck at the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen. Also there's one other thing I've been trying to find an answer for, my hboot is 0.43 and I've searched everywhere for instructions on how to update it but I can only seem to find how to do it for versions above 0.43. Do you know how I can do this? Could this be causing the problem I'm having?
Thanks, Andy
It depends on the ROM. What are you trying to install?
The update procedure should be the same for 0.43, you only have to update step by step, first to 2.17 base hboot and then JB hboot.
What is your CID? Do fastboot oem readcid.

I'm currently trying to flash Nocturnal_MergeX_RC1d. Although if you could suggest a better one for me to use that would be great. My CID is H3G__001.
Thanks, Andy
You can update to hboot 1.39 with a simple firmware flash. Use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
And for the ROM, ViperX is perfect:
