[Q] help please - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay so i have an evo 4g rooted 2.3 with amon ra custom recovery.. i attempted to flash a new rom synergy i did a full wipe on everything data/system/cache/delvik cache and began to flash the rom the rom got half way through and gave me an error message "opps something went wrong check recovery log" so i decided to just forget flashing that rom so i did another whip completely and decided to just do a nanodroid restore on my old rom. that got half way through and came up with an error message saying " internal memory full" so i did another wipe and tried again but this time i came up with the error E: cannot mount sd card.. I can't even us Mass storage to reformat my card so i pulled it out and reformatted it on my computers sd slot and put the custom recovery back on and the recovery files and yet still i cannot mount sd card... i also get an error when trying to flash a rom E: dev/Block/ a series of numbers and letters. my phone is currently bricked if you ask me but what doesnt make sense is how i can put clockworkmod recovery image PC36IMG.zip and in my bootloader screen it asks me if i want to update so technically my phone is reconizing the sd card but the recovery is not mounting it or accepting it does anyone have any idea and any info they can provide to me? sorry for this long thread lol just wantted to get all the details out.

[Q] Cant mount sd card

So today i rooted my desire, and tried installing the Sense 2.2 HD.
The installation failed and now i cant boot up, get stuck at the white screen with HTC logo. Connected SD card through USB in recovery mode, and formated it multiple times successful into all kinds of formats (fat16, 32, ext2, 3) in both windows and ubuntu.
Now when i try to run the update.zip or any rom file from recovery i get the following error
E:Cant mount /sdcard
(No such file or directory)
or some other problem
Any help would be nice
Moved to Q&A.
Take a look HERE. Hopefully this should sort you out.
I've did a wipe data/factory reset, is it still rooted after that?
Cant get this crap to work. It boots straight into Fastboot usb now. But it wont find the sd card. Its the stock sd with 4 gig. My pc finds it and it works
How do i get my phone to recognize the sd card?
Yes you should still be rooted, a wipe/factory reset won't unroot your handset.
All you need to do is the fastboot command to get your SD card recognised again. If this doesn't help, I'd try a new or different card.
Wow took awhile. Downloaded an RUU and went into fastboot and updated.
All sorted then?

[SOLVED] Recovery Wont Read SD card

EDIT2: I already solved my problem, but i'll leave all the writing incase anyone goes through the same problems and knows what to do.
So i restarted my phone into recovery mode, wiped data, wiped cache partition, and went to install .zip so when i go to choose .zip from sdcard, it wont mount! i turned off the phone, took off the sdcard to put into a usb card reader and it seems to work just fine. So ive tried to mount and unmount my sdcard in the recovery but it wont read still. So now im stuck and cant flash the rom.
Im using clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.4
and i was on insertcoin rom v1.3
is there a way i can flash a rom via adb, fastboot, or anything? and please if you guys have an answer please help walkthrough the steps. thank you.
EDIT1: Well apparently my phone can start back up into the same rom (sorry used to g1), which will let me read my sdcard and mount, but in recovery it wont read the sdcard. I even took out my sdcard formated it on my mac to fat32, reinsterted with 1.4 rom on it and still no read from recovery.
EDIT2: SOLVED, I remember previously that i formated my sdcard for booting up someones computer USB style. I just forgot to repartition my phone android style. So i used the clockworkmod to partition it. Even though it does use recovery mode to do it, for some reason it failed to connect at first but still did the job on the follow up.

[Q] Partition SD problem

Hey,
I have a problem. My SD card has broken so I bought new one (Kingston 16GB, class4) I used ROM manager to install the Clockwork Recovery and wanted to make SD partition. Unfortunately it does not work. When the device reboots into recovery I got just the image with little green android and exclamation mark! I may move in clockwork but I cannot find Partition SD in "advanced".
Do you know what is wrong? Something with recovery?? Thank you!
Partition your sd card with gparted:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
I manged to partition it after I put my old clockwork recovery on SD. But now I wanted to update my ROM and recovery tells me the same - exclamation mark and text "E: signification verification fail, installation aborted". Something wrong with recovery I think. Don't know what to do, whetever I try I always ends with this text
You need to turn off signature verfication in clockworkmod recovery:
Start recovery>install zip from sdcard>toggle signature verfiy. Then flash the rom you want.
Um...
Maybe you can use VWare to Partition your SD card.
I use the 16G,Class6, but i Partitioned it use the RA 2.0.1.
It is very easy!

Can't boot to anything but TWRP

So hello modders and fellow G padders.
So yesterday or last night I flashed Malludus ROM and it went ok but the keyboard kept quitting on me so in decided to try again and I downloaded the LG apps , Gapps and ROM from his locations ok no prob.
Did a wipe on TWRP latest version.
Now it will only boot into TWRP no matter what I do, I've tried downloaded mode w/ the PC suite and get a 43 code error.
I can still boot into TWRP so I prepared a SD card and tried to flash and nothing but back to TWRP the funny thing tho is as I mount my SD card and continue to flash the data size on my SD card gets larger as if I'm flashing it to the SD card.
So I copied and pasted to the internal memory and get failed flashes.
Neededing guidance .
Never have used Adb from command prompt but will now if someone can link me to a good tutorial.
Thanks again Modders and Gpadders.

[Q] Please HELP! Can't mount SD card

Hi guys
I was using Philz Touch Recovery in order to install ViperOne ROM (chose the install a new ROM instead of just wipe data option). I successfully did that but the phone took forever and still didn't boot in the ROM, it was just stuck at the HTC splash screen forever.
I decided to go back and flash TWRP instead and then wipe the device but then I realized that the SD card was NOT mounting. I went back to Philz Touch Recovery, same thing. Now I am stuck without a ROM, and with a SD card that will NOT mount in recovery.
I tried sideloading the ROM via ADB and it reached about 50% then gave me a "fail: protocol error" or something like that.
I really don't know what to do.
Right now I am attempting to copy the ROM to my external SD card, insert it into the device and try to install it from recovery, but I am not sure if that's even going to work.
Please help me guys! I My device is S-OFF (which I just achieved today and it was a PAIN IN THE *SS) and of course bootloader unlocked and with superCID 11111111. Would running a .401 RUU help? I cannot find one though.
I tried installing the ROM from external SD card and it failed. I don't know what to do! please help
EDIT: I think I fixed the problem. I believe the SD card was formatted poorly thanks to Philz Touch Recovery (CWM Advanced Edition) and formatting it using TWRP fixed it. It now shows up in recovery and is mountable.
