Unable to read sd card

I had CM 7.2RC1 on my phone. Today, after taking a nandroid backup, i wanted to transfer the file to my comp. It was unable to do so. Now I have the following problem:
CWM cannot recognise my sd card.
I tried to reflash my rom. But CWM says unable to mount /sdcard or error mounting sdcard
CM7.2 stuck in boot loop
I can see view the sdcard in my computer. But my phone is unable to detect it. Please help me out.
Thank you in advance

It looks like a USB brick to me. Which recovery do you have? If you have 4ext then you may be able to solve the problem. It has a USB unbrick feature with auto detection.
Edit. You have cwm. Flash 4ext in fast boot.

Its ClockworkMod Recovery. Just to put me at ease, have I bricked my phone? or can I get out of this mess?
EDIT : Could you please tell me the command to flash ext4 in fastboot. As ADB doesnt seem to be working.
Thank you

OK ADB and SDCard not working. Looks like USB brick. It can be fixed. Get a 4ext touch recovery .img first. BTW are you SOFF? What does your bootloader say? You cant give fastboot commands without SOFF. If you are not fastboot then you will have to flash a PB99IMG.zip from bootloader from4ext more on that later..
The command to flash recovery is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img

If you need a recovery.img link here it is. Unzip it and use the img. I have to leave now.

Remind me to buy you a beer if you are ever in my part of the world mate. Thanks a ton.

If 4ext does the job for you fine. Else post 13 of Bortaks thread is the other option.

Maybe you should get to your Recovery, unmoun SD card if mounted and mount again your SD. It may be helpfull

Phone Stuck after ROM install

I tried to install viper x on my phone but missed out putting the ROM on my SD card, it now seems to be stuck at the HTC logo, I cant access the SD as on the PC when connected it shows a Removable Drive and a CD Drive, both of which are inacessible.
How can I get the ROM onto my phone to install it?

Have you tried mounting USB storage from recovery?. And which recovery are you using ?

When I enter recovery there are no options just the loading screen then it switches to a red triangle with an exclamation mark.
Im not sure what you mean by recovery, I didnt make a backup etc. I did download endevour recovery signed.img for my CID and version but not used it as not sure if I need it or not, completely stuck at the moment.

It sounds like you have not installed a custom recovery, the list you refer to in the viperx thread, that includes fastboot and recovery etc, is actually the bootloader. You need to flash either cwm or twrp recovery via fast boot. Or search for an all in one tool if you are not comfortable with fastboot and adb commands
Sent from a pile of cabbage with XDA Premiumiumium

Im fine with the ADB commands, can you tell me where I can get CWM recovery files? are they CID specific or anything?
I just downloaded CWM Recovery from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
The GSM one, is this the correct file? its a UK Voda One X VODAP001 CID.
Also my bootloader is set as unlocked at present.

I flashed that recovery and now have storage mounted and visible, can I just put the viper rom onto the deivce storage as firmware.zip and intsall it now?

Aye that's the right one, 5840. Sorry if I'm reaching Granny to stuck eggs but power off, then hold vol down and power until boot loader appears, and don't worry about the USB master fail thing. Copy the cwm to your fastboot folder and rename it recovery.img. With cable in and "fastboot USB" highlighted type in command window " fastboot flash boot boot.IMG" press enter then reboot into the recovery and follow the previous instructions to mount and copy

Yeah you can but don't forget to extract the boot image from the zip and flash that first

Excellent thanks, its installing now. Phew.... one thing it did say is I need a custom Kernel as im not S-OFF, any idea what this is?

ignore the kernel thing for now, just use the boot img from the viper zip. if you want a custom kernel you can install one later, you only need it if you wanna overclock or use some of the advanced tweaks

Soft Brick

Well I flashed by the firmware 2.22.1540.3 through hboot and now my phone is stuck on on the bootsplash screen I can boot into bootloader mode. My computer doesn't recognize that a device is connected so I can't use adb and I tried flashing twrp by using a custom ruu in hboot but it didn't work. Anyone know how to get a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM? Thanks in advance. I'm s-off and I have an unlocked bootloader and the zip was modified for my CID (CWS__001)

Does fastboot mode work? That's the best way to flash a recovery.
As far as the rom goes, you'd need to adb sideload or from twrp adb mode. Or I recently did it using a micro SD. I put the rom on the microSD with my tablet, poured out in the phone and flashed with twrp.

That's what it's supposed to do.
In a command prompt... Navigate to the folder fastboot is in and type "fastboot devices". If it returns a number, you're good to go! Flash recovery.

Are you in the fastboot folder? Doesn't sound like it. If you type "dir" you should see fastboot. Exe .
If you're having trouble, and don't know fastboot... You might need to read up first.

Soft Bricked my M8

Hello everyone,
So, I soft-bricked my M8 after trying to downgrade from lollipop back to ViperoneM8. My first problem was that internal storage wouldn't mount in Twrp, but now it does. However, my phone doesn't boot all the way back, and it just boots into bootloader or TWRP. I also did a factory reset in TWRP, and I think my USB debugging is gone so I can't use the ADB sideloading tool. When I try to use this tool, and run CMD, "adb devices", it only says "List of devices attached" and it doesn't display my phone. I tried to mount my device through TWRP and insert a RUU, but when I try to flash it, it keeps saying NO MD5 file found. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks

You could side load a ROM if you can get ADB to work, or using another device and SD card, put a ROM, or even stock nandroid from the stock nandroid collection thread, and install from the SD card from your recovery.

I have tried that. I installed the RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5_rooted file and sideloaded it, but it keeps saying No MD5 file found. I even tried the ViperOneM8_3.2.1 file as well, but that doesn't get recognized by the CMD prompt. I can't use the SD card slot since it's busted.
Should I download another file and sideload that instead?

Drag about the sd slot... As that's the easiest way.
My adb usage is limited. Are you saying adb doesn't recognize Viper? Try another rom perhaps. Or again... Try a nandroid image for your particular device.
And perhaps it's the wrong RUU, or download was damaged?

Yea the card slot is damaged. I tried another ROM, and this time through sideloading it, and it didn't work again. It said it successfully flashed and everything, but when I went to reboot, it rebooted twice and went straight into TWRP. I'm not familiar with flashing Nandroid, can you teach me or show me a guide? Thanks

You flash the RUU in fastboot not sideload
Fastboot OEM rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
Fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
Fastboot reboot
You have to be s-off also

OTA Update Location

Hi,
I made this stupid mistake of forgetting to turn off the OTA auto update. Now that it's already downloaded, I'd like to know where this update file is at so that it doesn't get updated and mess with my root. I can't even restart without starting the update process. Please help.

Please be more clear.
If you want the update files dowload location they are in internal storage , folder name is started with hw.....( I forgotted i remembered it was like hwota)) In that folder it was stored.

also u can reset the app data of updater ,see once

Found it. Thanks guys.
For anyone else who might need this information, I found the downloaded update at:
/data/update/HwOUC
Deleting the files inside did the job.
Thanks again.

Hi guys,
i tried to update the new OTA B183 and as you know it didn't work since i have twrp already installed on it, i would like to know how i can restore the official recovery.img so i can update.
I already tried to extract the recovery.img and to put it in internal storage but i could not find it in twrp for encryption reasons (many folders with strange letters on it) and putting the recovery.img on external sd card and flashing it ended to an error...
What is the proper process to get the original recovery and to install it ?
Do i need to decrypt, format data and use a kernel fileencryption ?
I'm kind of lost because i don't know where to find the proper original recovery.img and the kernel fileencryption.
I know how to flash, fastboot, root, but for this process, i would appreciate a step by step
My honor 8 pro is a DUK L09, European version, running now with B130 update.
