I had a complete disaster and lost everything. I have mounted the sd as usb storage and put a rom onto it but neither TWRP or CWm will see them .
Sideload fails in TWRP and every time I try to push i get an error telling me that /data/media/ is a directory ..please anyone got any ideas ? I cant RUU as im on H3g and there isnt a JB one released
Mount the sdcard, copy the rom.zip to the root of the sdcard. Reboot the recovery and install the rom.

Thanks but as I said in the post I had done that but TWRP and CWM would not see the ROM's. .
It turned out to be the file system on the sd card. I formatted it to fat32 and the recoveries then saw the ROM's .
Ah check. Well i had a similar issue a while back. Copied the rom and tried to install, also not visible. Rebooted the recovery once and that probably rescanned the sdcard
But good that its solved :thumbup:

So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.

Did you use the Mounts menu to try to manually mount the sd?
Also, Which method did you use to get into CWM?

Ya i went into the menus and manually unmounted and then remounted the SD card but that didn't do anything. I used the typical three finger method to boot into CWM like i always do.
i think
I believe this has something to do with the way in which the SD card is formatted I also cannot mount in to usb storage in CWM i get an E: error
Have you guys tried to "Reboot recovery" from the "Adavnced" menu in CWM, and then try to flash the ROM?
I've had this happen before, it was a formatting problem. The easiest fix I found was to back up SD-card data on your pc, reformat the card from the Android system, then copy your data back over. CWM should be able to mount your card now.
I had a problem with the mount dropping mid flash it was my sd for some reason was chipped I always keep backup files

Just flash another version of CWM and u'r done. I faced this problem after flashing Siyah Kernel v2.3 which includes CWM 5.0, and I tried all the methods online; formatting, error-checking, etc... nothing succeed!
Finally I flashed another kernel (Which includes CWM 4.0) and it worked fine.
Thanks!
Same thing happened to me just now... found this thread.. pushed new CWM in ODIN - Worked like a charm.. Fixed in 2 minutes..
Flashing another CWM (ACS recovery this time...) via Odin did not fix the issue. Going to try the format /sdcard fix and see... argh!
*Edit* aaaand that didn't work either. WTF... I literally just got this phone 2 hours ago... brand new.
delete the .androidsecure folder on your sd that worked for me formatting wont work if you put your files on the same with me because i always copied that folder along too
hi everybody i'd appreciate if you help me with this, i have put Viper jellybean rom on my SDcard ready to be flashe once i do the firmware upgrade.
I flashed firmware 1.36 successfully
flash recovery successfully
boot.img successfully, in fact I've done everything great,...then i went into recovery to try and install viper rom zip from SDcard, to my surprise i keep getting message saying "No Files Found"
I went and try to restore backed up data which i had but nowhere to be found with same message saying "No Files Found"
what's happened to the data on my SD and how can i get Rom into my SD card so i can flash from zip.
Did you unplug the cable to the pc while you were in recovery ?
Ok i've rebooted into the main screen look through he option and phone's telling me there is "NO SD card present?? looked into the Storage in the settings option and it says phone storage is unavailable?
I looked in the Albums folder it says "Please insert SD card
went and connected USB to PC and to try put data in there but i only get the CHARGE ONLY option in the Choose a connection type
install from sd card

Not as far as i know, when i exited CMD after flashing is when i disconnected the USB from the PC and went into recovery
What recovery are you on ? And what rom are you running ?
What happens when you mount the sdcard in the recovery ?
Mounts & storage and then at the bottom
Mount as usb drive

I've read some other threads that of you and other members like BenHope, CleancoreKiller and responded to and they were very useful,
Like you said i went in ro recovery Mount SD card USB
Connected to PC and BAM!! PC recognized it.
went ahead and dropped the VIPER X 3.2.0 in the SD card.
Unmounted and went to Install zip from SD card and to my Surprise again there was the rom.
continued to install rom, rebooted and everything went fine.
Looked into the settings / storage and now it says 22.75GB available.
Things seem to be working good like WiFi, network etc.
I want to give a massive thanks to you MR Hofs and all the other senior members who have contributed to not just my thread but everyone else s threads which i have read, because without you guys us noobs we would be lost:crying: somewhere. Your Knowledge and expertise in this field is unparalleled and it is much appreciated always:angel:

Hello all,
I unlocked my phone and rooted it. I tried to instal miui ROM, succesful but my phone got stuck at the HTC intro screen. Eventually, nothing worked like whiping cache etc. So i completely recovered my phone from backup (clockwork) from before unlocking and rooting. NOTHING, it just kept hanging at the HTC intro screen. After that i could not find any solutions online and i completely formatted the SD out of despare
Now everything is gone, backup and folders on the SD, EVERYTHING.
I can still go to the HBOOT menu and Recovery menu. My computer does find HTC device.
Can anybody help??
hi
use this, will work 100 %

Enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as an usb mass storage device, copy the rom.zip to the phone and copy the boot.img file from inside the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on the pc. Then you put the phone in the bootloader and flash the boot.img file with fastboot commands, enter recovery and perform a full wipe (except sdcard ofcourse) ....wipe data,system,cache,dalvik cache !
Then install the rom.zip and reboot
If u can go to recovery, use mount usb storage to connect to pc and put your custom rom in sd. Unmount and put in bootloader and flash the boot.img first and then go to recovery again and flash your rom.
Talking about help !

Hello.
I have problem with my phone, i format all memory, and now i have no recovery or any rom to flash it,from what i know and read, only option for me is ADB sideload rom to phone, cause like now i can only go in fastboot, flash new recovery, that it.
The problem is, i think only twrp have ADB sideload function, and .......i can't use it, touch don't work in twrp, volume up/down also do nothing. is there any other method to put rom on card in phone ? Also i can't connect phone to my pc, for some reasons computer don't see my phone, i'm able to flash new recovery through cmd, but can't make pc to see phone as usb mass storage. So now i stuck. anyone have something similar ? And figure out how to put rom in memory card ?

How in the World you managed to do so???
Erasing recovery???
Well, I never used ADB push. The easiest way is to flash Philz recovery again, mount sd card and copy the ROM.zip to sd card.
And why double posting problems. Old thread is only 3 days old
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582565
Flash this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And do whats been told. Mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu. Wait a couple of minutes (yes literally minutes) it will pop up !
And if you did search the twrp thread (touch not working) you would have found the repacked 2.4.0.0 -JB twrp recovery. It's been discussed there many......many times !

i can't do it cause in recovery i can't mount phone as storage so i can't put rom on it. having only recovery give me nothing if i'm not able put rom in phone. if problem will be only recovery, then i wouldn't bother you guys. my main problem is that pc don't see phone, all drivers are installed, yet nothing works.

Man flash the recovery on @Mr Hofs with fastboot. After this go in recovery and mound sd card and put your ROM on the card and flash the boot.img and the rom!!!

And on @Mr Hofs work but on 5.15 you must to wait 2-4 minutes to mount the sd card. Wich ROM are you try for the first time I ever heard for Error7 when you copy the rom to sd card unmount the same and disconect the phone from computer while the installation.

i try viper, cm11,project x revolution, always had error 7
i put rom on sd card in phone, flash boot img, shut down, disconnect cable, boot in recovery, wipe and stuff, install rom, error 7, i never disconnect cable during installation, i even don't touch phone more than i need to.
Its the recovery i guess. Have you tried this.....rom is now on the phone so that problem is done. Flash the 5.15 recovery and install the rom.zip.......spit out ideas and thinking out loud.....these are all things to test.

I gave up, just bought new phone, root, rom, no problems, same model. maybe previous one was kinda...."different"
HELP!!!
I was trying to get all the files that are useless of off my sd card so i formated it in clockworkmod recovery and did not realize that i just deleted everything on the sdcard. And since i was just so clueless i went ahead and formated everything else that i could and then when i tried to reboot my device it takes me straight to the hboot menu. Is there any way i can get my OS back on to my device, i don't care about my files i just want the main OS back so i can use the phone again. And if you need any extra information please just ask in the comments and i will give you any info i can.
Thank You
If you can get to your recovery, go there. Then flash your ROM of choice.
how?

From the bootloader, choose recovery. If that is not an option, choose either fastboot or bootloader (whichever one is there), then choose recovery. If you don't have a ROM zip on your sdcard, mount the usb storage on your computer. Download the ROM zip on your pc, then place it on your sdcard. Unmount, then follow the instructions in the OP of your ROM thread, namely by flashing the zip. Then reboot into your new ROM.
i have clockworkmod recovery but im not sure how to flash the ROM because my sdcard has problems when i try to put files onto it.

If you have a bad sdcard, you can either transfer them to the internal 8gb memory (not sure, it's been awhile since I've messed with my inc), or you should really just get a new sdcard. You don't want a bad sdcard to start filling up with possibly corrupt app data and mess up the ROM.
i cant mount my sdcard with cwm recovery i can still get the device to connect to adb and fastboot

Note that internal 8gb memory does not mean the sdcard. Also, I'm not saying you can do this, because I can't remember. But if your sdcard is bad, you should replace it.
how do i know if the sdcard is bad though?
and how do i use the internal storage?
