cw recover says cant mount (snapshot) please help

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

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

[Q] MIUI rom problem

after install the rom of MIUI
SD device is not work again,even can't connect to computer
anymethod to write the backup to the GN,does adb shell work?????

1) Gonna need more information to help you.
1a) what MIUI rom did you install and how did you install it
2) what trouble shooting steps have you already taken
3) you should probably look inside the thread from the rom that you used. Also posting your problems in there will most likely get them answered quicker by people who use that particular rom or the developer.

Are you connected to your computer when trying to read the SD card...... that would prevent it and give you that error. Seeing the android icon in the corner makes me think so
Android - making grown men pee sitting down since 2.0

Can i use the adb shell putting the backup into the "'internal'" storage

No it doesn't.. that is a feature of MTP you can use the phone and virtual SD even while connected to a computer.. it is a problem with the MIUI rom.

[Q] JB Update Giving me Forced CD Drive

I updated today to JB CID_044 Android Revolution HD 15.0. And now when ever I plug my phone into the computer I get 2 connected devices.
Portable Device 'EndeavorU' which I understand is the new mounting method
and
CD Drive 'HTC Sync Manager'
It is this one that has me confused. When I open it it contains many files that are for the new HTC Sync Manager, plus drivers, install files etc etc.
Why? and for what? I don't want HTC sync manager and I certainly don't want a reserved drive for the install files. I have not read about this anywhere else, so can someone please shed some light on it for me and how to get rid of it.
BTW I did install HTC sync manager recently but quickly uninstalled it!
Thanks in advance

They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

I understand that, I just don't understand the CD DRIVE business. The MTP works fine as a drive solution it comes up as a portable device that I can transfer files to with no problem. What I am saying is I get 2 a CD drive and a portable device

[Q] Bricked phone - forgot what version of android I was running

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

Please Help... Note II cannot connect to pc

Hi,
I'll keep it to the point.
What's the problem?
I am not able to connect my phone to PC. And stuck on a unrooted Stock rom(Rooting Apps not helping)
What have i tried?
I tried plugging into many PCs with many different cables.
What happened?
I was on Cyanogen based Lollipop when the problem occurred and thought it was a problem with the rom so i tried to go back to Stock Rom. Since i was not able to connect to PC i used MobileOdin. Though it reverted me back to stock i lost my Root as well.
Now stuck in the barren Stock rom lands for five months with almost everything on google tried out I am hoping to go back to the Cyanogen with your help.
Please help, please let me kno if you need more info.
Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

download TWRP from play store, flash TWRP via app, then go to recovery, use microsd card reader or wifi/bluetooth file transfer.
make sure you have Kies installed
