Please help....all of a sudden phone cant read any SD and I have S-ON

Good evening everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me. Last night i was in the middle of flashing a Rom (Green Lighting 3.0) and wanted to repartition my SD card. I have flash this ROM and repartition my SD many times and had no issue. I moved my info from my SD card to my computer, wiped and partitioned the SD like normal and no problem. I started putting the info back onto the SD and still no problem. I then tried to flash my rom back onto my phone and when I went to my sd card it said "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)" I then noticed that I couldnt do anything with my SD card. I have tried different SD cards and they do not show in my phone and I get the same msg still. I have put the card into PC and I can see everything there just cant access it.
To make things stranger, When trying to figure out whats going on, I notice that when I go to bootlader I see S-ON. I know I had S-OFF (Got my EVO last Christmas and rooted it then). Any else have this issue? Im not sure what caused this or what I can do to resolve the issue i was thinking about reflashing back to stock but I cant even put the img back onto my sd card which means im not sure how i would take it back to sprint....Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Can anyone at least help me get to the point where I can take it in to sprint and they cant tell that its been rooted?
Thanks

Would say fastboot but your also saying you don't have root not either.

Might need to reroot then use fastboot

Or if you want to get really snazy you can symlink the block device for the sdcard to a folder on data then use adb to push files to it. Then in reviving you can flash a new image.

Happened to me first thing you are rooted second thing what I did is format data on card and phone ( backup files on card) via fastboot then you would need to get to adb and type some code to be able to use the card then boot phone and flash a custom recovery I used rom manager if any questions I will try my hardest to help I wish I had help when this happened to me (took exactly 9 straight hours to fix)

Thanks Cesarcerros and Lithid-cm for responding! Do either of you have the necessary steps to preform these steps or a link? Im not really familiar with adb (heck i have tried to get into it again but its not working) And for the rerooting option, would i use the new gingerbread root? Also, i cant get back into the rom so im not sure if that will affect things....again thanks!

I have scripts for setting up just about everything for android, sadly this only working in linux.I have not used windows in over 7 years. When I have helped people before they have always been able to get adb working following this guide here:
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-adb-drivers-for-htc-evo-4g/
You will be able to use the new root method, but without an sdcard to flash anything might be pointless to focus on that. I would look into a decent disk utility and run a scan on the sdcard mounted to your pc somehow (Does the sdcard work when connecting it to a pc and only doesn't work while connected to the evo?). Might be able to simply reformat the sdcard to solve the issue. If there are bad blocks, try to repair them. I know that this all sounds like another language, but now you have some more information when looking up errors for your sdcard.

Thank you both for your help with this. I was able to get this working by downloading Hausx's auto root 2.5 tools and putting that in a folder on my c drive and using the dos prompt to get me into using fastboot. I then used the following commands and I was able to see the sdcard again:
SELECT "FASTBOOT"
PLUG USB
type in the "dos"
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
Again thank you both for your help and attention on this.
cesarcerros31, you said you had this happen before, do you know what casued it? I dont remember doing anything out of the normal so i was curious if it might be a hardware issues or something else u were able to figure out?
On a side note, Lithid-cm was learning Linuix easy or did it take some time? Im interested in networking and seeing that a lot of people in networking are familiar with linuix so i figured i should look into it.

Some of the Linux distros like ubuntu or mint are pretty easy for a windows user to get used to. U can always dual boot.

Honestly I am not really sure, I grew up kinda poor and was forced to use linux as we couldn't afford a brand new windows pc. I would find pc parts that people would throw out, and searching the internet I was only able to find linux that was free. Been using it ever since.
I think its easy, its just something to get used to.

Thanks for the advice Fitz. Thats how I learned about building and working on PC's....thanks again everyone.

Connecting Macintosh to ics

I recently upgraded to one of the fb27 of caulkins rom. I could not get my mac to connect to it through usb.
I used android file transfer app, but it just wont see the device.
Anyone else stuck? Would like to move to ics.

I have the same problem. I haven't been able to figure it out yet though. It works fine on my windows partition, just not OSX. I'm not a fan of this new system, I prefer the the mount and unmount but it's not up to me.
Currently for a work around I use Wifi File Explorer Pro. It an awesome app. It works so well. Definitely recommend it for everyone. The only time I don't prefer it is when transferring a rom over cause it takes a little longer but it still works. There is a free version too. Give that a try. It really is a life saver.

thanks, it is so stupid that this is an issue. Tried to figure this out for an hour and there is nothing on the internet addressing this issue.

Personally I've just been using Kies Air, not the fastest, but it works very well.

I don't know if it will work for sure since i don't have a mac to test it on, but since it's not using MTP, but the old method, it should work

mass storage does work using Calks latest and OSX Lion. You have to turn off USB debugging first though.

[Q] 4.1.1 File Transfer problem

So I got that OTA update for 4.1.1, a lot of things changed and now when I connect it to my computer to transfer stuff, I can't just drag it into the folders as before. It only brings up HTC Sync Manager, any way to get the device files to come up again?

I've already got a thread running on this issue.

I'm using a Mac too. This is getting annoying, but I've found alternative options for now. Not too fond of them but it'll do for now.

Google changed it in JB for all devices to be connected as MTP . If you really need it that badly , maybe go to CWM Recovery Mount USB .

t999v with no OS

Hello everyone,
I've searched around the forums but have yet to come across anyone with my exact set of problems.
Phone is a Samsung t999v on the Wind network.
I believe the problem started when a restore was done from a back up with no system information. TWRP tells me there is no OS on the phone.
As there isn't an OS zip file on the hard drive I cannot flash from internal card.
Odin 3.04 fails to add tar file of stock rom after repeated attempts.
drivers will not load with G s3 toolkit allowing phone to be recognized.
Connecting the phone to PC while in TWRP or even in download mode and the PC (Windows 7 ultimate wink wink) will show in devices as a modem but doesn't show up in "my computer". Drivers failed to load is the message after connecting the phone.
Last working OS was the latest AOKP build two.
I hoping someone can help me out. I do feel that this information is probably on here somewhere but I've searched with no luck.
I really trying to get an OS onto this phone and hope I haven't screw it up for a friend of mine. These forums have helped do some good works with my phone and phones of my friends that I guess I ended up thinking I knew more than I did. I should have stock with clockworkr which didn't have the option to back up without system. safer for a dummy.
I appreciate any and all comments.
nur.

Did you don't download the drivers from Samsung website?

Yes I can download them from the website but at times the device is still not recognized. For some reason this happens with all my Samsung products. My PC often time does not recognize them. It started months ago with my 10.1 Tab and them my i727 and this t999v. I have to contect the usb and disconnect several time before they'll connect even changing ports. But now they don't connect at all.

Since you have twrp, why don't you just flash a ROM?

I would love to but how do I get the ROM on to the phone? The phone is not being recognized by computer. I have an sd car but my other samsung phone isn't recognized by the pc either.

Uninstall the drivers you have installed (the Samsung ones) and uninstall Kies if you have that installed.
Install the drivers from my signature. They are an older version. I use them because all of the newer ones do exactly what you are describing. The PC won't see the device, etc.
If all else fails buy a card reader. One of the 10+ in 1 sd card readers. Probably should have one of those anyway; just a thought.

Thanks for the advise. I'm going to go grab a micro sd reader now, hopefully. The drivers from your signature didn't fail to install as well. Can anyone think of what the source of the issue is. My drivers failing to install is happening on both of my PC's. I didn't try to install the older drivers on my second pc however.

You can download the ROM on another phone and transfer it to an SD card, after that you can swap it to the one with no os and flash it

The card reader fixed it. Thanks everyone for helping me out. No more lurking for me.

I have the same problem with my phone being recognized. I will sit there and plug and unplug the cable into the same usb port repeatedly, and eventually it'll be recognized.

Did the drivers fail to install from the installation package or when you plugged the device in after that installation? Also, are you in MTP or PTP mode?

It says MTP mode failed so I guess that's the mode. Both have happened but usually the fail happens after I plug in the device.

I followed all the steps exactly and the problem still persists. KIES fails at installing drivers and same happens when I connect the phone. The only place I can there being an error was that I replaced and copied the files in Windows INF as the new files had the same names as the old ones. As for that everything else I followed the steps exactly with no luck.

Might be worth a shot but it doesn't seem likely that it's a cable issue. The cable is effectively new and PC does recognize that I'm connecting a device.

[Q] Serious help fast!

ok so heres what happened. forgot my phone was rooted. i tried tmobile ota update. kicked me out into twrp. i messed aroun and bascily now i have no os or anything. i accidentally formatted everything in the phone. its the white 32gb tmobile version if that matters. to make things worse, i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS. no windows. cant even figure out how to get windows on the pc. and no i cant go buy it. noodle budget. i also messed with the fat32 thing and it said unable to make fat32 partition. basicly. its screwed. i need to know what to do about this. i have the lg flash tool, the original .dll and .tot ready to go. but theres the linux thing. everytime i try to connect it to the computer in download mode it said could not mount adroid device or something like that, now it wont even come on for me. i dont know what to do about this. no i couldnt get adb sideload to start, i couldnt mount in download mode, i could get adb to recognise the device but thats about it. i pushed a couple roms to it but nadda. after installing succesfully it just went right back to twrp. i need a video or something that i can slightly understand on how to fix this.

Your best bet is to set up a virtual box and virtualize it. I guess in twrp if you can still get access to it. Is to wipe system and all that fun stuff so it can reformat it to ext4 then try to adb sideload the rom that matches the update as close as possible. The only thing I can think of is that the update messed up partitions so when you flash a rom it can't all fit like it used too.
Sorry if I didnt help I'm just trying my method I had to do when I had my g2
