[Q] Can't seem to flash rom from Sd card - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've successfully managed to flash 2 roms to my HTC one m8 phone in the past, but now it seems I have a problem: I'm trying to install a zipped rom stored on my 64gb micro sd card, using PhilzTouch 6.57.8 , but I can't get install a zip from sd-ext. the message: /storage/sdcard1: Idle-Unmounted keeps appearing. I also cannot reboot my phone into the previous rom as i cleaned it in preparation to install a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea what to do
Cant even mount sd-ext as I get 'E:Error mounting /sd-ext!'

[Q] help please

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] Can't mount SD card in recovery to flash a new rom, help!

Hi there,
I was about to flash a new rom on my Dinc, and right after I formatted /system, the sdcard became unable to mount and now I can't access the .zip for the new rom. I've tried flashing 3 versions of CWM as well as one of TWRP but none of them can access my SD card. I also reformatted it in my PC with no success. I currently don't have any operating system on it so all I can work with is hboot and recovery.
Can anyone help me fix this?

Did you format it fat32 with the pc? If the cards fine (can be used by pc and fat32) and recovery and hboot still cant find it, then id venture to say the sdcard slot is damaged or went out.
Using adb in recovery, you should be able to push a rom file to emmc and flash it from there.

I did format it FAT32, and the SD card is definitely fine. I don't think that the slot is the problem either because other things won't mount either.
Actually the only thing I can mount in recovery is /system, everything else is inaccessible. It was having mounting problems before which is why I decided to flash it with a new rom (was running Jellybean very poorly). I also tried flashing the original recovery, doing "clear storage" that way, and reflashing with CWM but it had no effect. During the storage wipe it said that /datadata doesn't even exist. It also shows errors that it can't mount the files /dev/block/mmcblk01 and /dev/blk/mmcblk0p2
This is what the log shows when I did the CLEAR STORAGE using the stock recovery
Restore factory NV setting...
Formatting DATA:...
E: format_root_device: can't find mtd partition "datadata"
Formatting EMMC:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Wipe ALL failed.
E:Can't mount DATADATA:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1)
(No such file or directory)
The same thing happened to me long back. What I did was that I cleared data, cache, and dalvik cache... Worked for me... You can try but i wont take any responsibility

[Q] Bricked phone? Unable to mount internal storage

Several weeks ago I unlocked my bootloader using the HTC website (i didn't get s-off), I installed a custom recovery then flashed the Android Revolution ROM, today I downloaded and installed CM11 but it has issues with music playback so I tried to restore my phone from a nandroid backup on my sd card but I keep getting an error saying...
E: unable to mount '/data'
I can access the nandroid backups on my sd card (but they won't restore) and I can't access the ROM zip files I have on my internal storage.
Any advice to fix my phone would be very much appreciated!

Which recovery have you got installed? Can you use adb commands?

Try and put a rom on your external storage and flash, also check for sd errors on pc, maybe worth saving what u need on it and formatting it
Try loading a ROM using adb sideload

[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.
