my moms boyfriend has a rooted G2 using iceandfire 2.0 and earlier today he picked up his phone from the charger to find that it turned off by itself, he turned it back on and it stayed at
The htc screen, so I tried wiping the data to flash a new rom and it said can't mount such and such

So the big question is, why did it do this, and what can I do to fix it? Help is much appreciated since he has no backup phone and he's a heavy user so he needs his phone back up and running asap

Those errors are likely caused by a hardware error (bad internal memory chip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504
Hey rickyiswhite, I've experienced the same problem with my htc hd2. I am not hundred percent sure how and why this happened, but I managed to get my phone back to life. Here are two methods which I think might help you.
1. You might be missing 'initrid' and 'zImage' files in your sd card. You need these two files to flash new rom from your sd card otherwise the phone cant 'recognize' your sd card. You can find these two files from any rom you have downloaded, just copy and paste them into your sd card's root folder.
2. If this is not the case, I would recommend you to format your sd card (fat 32, i tried once to format my sd card to ntfs, and kind of destroyed it), and clear everything inside your phone using 'task29', which means you will lose everything stored inside your phone and sd card. Then you can uninstall and reinstall the HSPL (this might not be necessary, but I did that, just to make sure everything is cleared). Afterwards you just have to flash the radio and the magldr back. What's left now is to copy your rom into your sd card, remember to copy the 'initrd' and 'zImage' as well, and flash the rom, done!
However, I can't guarantee this would work because you know, different devices, so you have to take your own risk and responsibility to do this. FYI, you can also flash a new rom through computer, using the DFT.exe inside the rom. But currently most of the roms are flashed through magldr or clk, so it would take you some time to find the rom that can be flashed directly via computer.
Anyway, good luck to you, and hope these tips might help

SU or SUDO ring any bells?
Google your error and adb. Also your posting in wrong area
WOW that is so URGENT!!! Can you still use your phone? Did you brick your phone?
Pull out the damn SD card place it in your computer and put the DAMN file in the root of it and flash it!! Or connect your phone through USB and click connect SD and a DRIVE to the computer and put it in there... Then FLASH IT.
Oh wait Here's your sign!!!
Better yet, if it is so URGENT, Call Sprint and ask them!!!! They will tell you how todo it.
LMFAO, bet he does it too.
Format your sd card through the phone menu then try again
Ah, bro. I hope you brought your flame suit lol. In all seriousness though, back up your sd card using a card reader like the above post says. You can either just save the unrevoked file that way or reformat the card through custom recovery w new fat32 and ext partitions. After that copy your backup sd files to the sd card and all should be well. If you're running a custom kernel some previous versions have had trouble w adb so reflash stock kernel. Pm if you have trouble and I'll walk you through. Obviously not a true emergency and I'm sure you would have gotten a lot less grief I'd it were, but it happens. / moving on...

Hi guys this is my first post in xda developers but i've always solved my troubles with your help. But now i really need to expose my problem, cause actually i can't find a solution even if there are many posts about it.
I changed my clockworkmod from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.4.5 to flash a 4.4 android version rom on my galaxy w.
everything went okay, i guess but i had some issues with photo gallery (kinda everything duplicated, so i had a bunch of ''useless-double-files'').
One day later I decided to go back to my 4.0 rom and here the mess begins. I tried a restore from cwm but i couldn't because there was an error about restoring /data (but there's still the recovery date in that list) so I re-flash the 6.0.1.0 cwm and the 4.0 android rom, but when i turn off my phone all my pictures was GONE.
I plug my device to my computer and it says that the available space is almost full, like when the mess wasn't happen, but when i browse the pictures i can't find them. :crying:
I tried this and everything goes til this:

(even if my .raw is only 8mb???? )
edit: i looked up in partitions of my phone here and i re-did all this but downloading mmcblk0 instaed of mmcblk0p12 that was only 8mb. this is goin over 1,80 gb. is this the correct partition?
how can I turn .raw file in files?
Please help me guys, i literally waste my all day.
(Sorry for my bad english tho)
(sorry for double posting) i've got news..
i finally got my .raw / .vhd files. they are
mmcblk0p28 (that is my mnt/sdcard stuff 1,7 gb like my internal storage phone is. it's 100% full but i didn't find much.. only small pictures)
mmcblk0p17 (that is /data and i find not much pictures in this)
then i tried mmcblk0 that was the largest file (the whole phone i guess?) but when I attach it as a vhd in disk management it comes already partitioned and allocated. what does it mean??
should i give up? i will never get my pictures back? :crying:
hi guys, with all the problems kitkat is giving to us with the sd-cards, I thought that at least music will be playable through it.
I just put some music on my sd-card, and went for a run, the HTC music app recognized the music but when i pressed play no music came out
I tried music from my internal memory and it worked perfectly...
is this a known thing? can it be fixed? and last question, I did researched about it and could not find anything but I read some articles that suggest that android L will support sd-card, is it true?
BTW, I'm on rooted and S-OFF device using latest ARHD if it matters.
cheers
I have no problem playing musics from external sdcard.
All my music files are on external sdcard (Don't have much anyway)

Why don't you post in that ROM thread, maybe someone has idea why it doesn't work for you.
BTW I'm on a rooted device with stock ROM and external sdcard writeable fixed.

what do you mean by writeable fixed?

Means that the sdcard can be writeable. As you mentioned above, google stop the sdcard write access on KitKat, so you need to fix that on your own.
Anyway, what I know most custom ROM has this fix included in the ROM. So ARHD may have that fix included. So ... it's best to ask in the ROM thread as your problem may not related to sdcard read/write problem.
Must be a Rom issue as I copied over a load of music to my sd card the other day and the stock music player played it no problem. I'm stock unrooted by the way.
Hello there,
I have this M8 for almost a year now and I Love it!
Also, by using common sense (and the holly Google) I managed to find a solution for anything but now
it seems to escape me...
allow me to be rude/dirty/ugly:
I gut a big folder of porn on my SD named ".somethingy" (dot up front, for gallery invisibility).
and it was all well.
using USB I put/delete files in the folder, and using Filexpert app to view them.
When using the USB connection I could see 3 folders
1. Internal Storage
2. SD Card
3. ext_sd
now, I don't know what happened but
I can no longer see the ext_sd through USB!
Using Filexpert I can browse and watch the stuff but not with USB.
Any ideas/solutions?
Thanks in advance.,
Mch5.
Flash the modded firmware which contains a part of sense.. And you will see it again.. You must flash the rom new after that.. Find it in my gpe rom thread

Thank you for the reply.
This is an unrooted phone.
I was hoping to find a less destructive solution.
Than you could try to reformat the card or and reset the phone ?..

Tried reseting - didn't work.
Formating the SD - how will it help?
The SD is fully accessible by the phone just not(or partially) by USB.
It used to work! I had access, I have old files on it which I can view with the phone!
Can the filesystem spontaneously change? its not making sense!
but if it does, and did... I'll format it.
I want to understand.
Best way is still to root.. Twrp recovery.. Make a backup and start completely new with a stock like rom..
Btw.. Have you tried a other pc and cable..?

I've tried on a different PC and there, there was no drive at all.
and it seems that it failed to install the MTP driver, which make perfect sense with the issue!
so I went back to my PC, removed any HTC software&drivers,
manually downloaded HTC sync manager,
Installed it and the drivers included,
Uninstalled sync manager Only...
Now everything is perfect!
Thank You!

Try to place all the files from the SD on your phone or your pc
Then format the SD card via the buildin Windows tool
Make sure MTP is enabled under Storage on your phone
Is there any way to tell what version of android i'm running from examining the files on the SDcard?
I have a virgin mobile galaxy s3, I kept getting software update prompts and ignoring them. I may have updated at one point, I don't remember.
All I can look at are the contents of the SD card, and i'm trying to unbrick a hard brick ( can't get into recovery , phone shows no signs of life. Flash seemed to work correctly, and then after phone reboot, phone shows no signs of life, and I am trying to use the SD card method to revive my phone but I don't know what version of android I was running.)

Of you can read the internal SD, take a look at your build.prop
I can get in to philz recovery manager with this method - but after i'm in philz, what do I do? How do I flash an image? My SD card is now tiny, If I try to use diskpart or minitool partition wizard to reformat while it's mounted from philz, it won't let me.
Is it okay to remove the SD card while i'm in philz recovery manager, and then put the card in my computer, restore the partitions, put the stock file on the drive, then reflash?
Should be

If you can get into philz recovery i would suggest downloading a aosp rom from your computer transfer it to ur sd card then flash it.
