[How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL

I wrote this guide a while back after fixing a friends phone, it has worked on others too so i decided id post it here for anyone that ran into this issue later down the road and did not want to run a ruu. This also works great if you want to start fresh before flashing roms.
Basically all this does it swap out recovery's and clean the SD, give it a fresh start.
You can find the full guide & Video here http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/showthread.php/1050

This involves unnecessarily deleting the contents of the internal sdcard.
The following method works 99% of the time, albeit in linux only:
1: reboot into recovery & do a mount usb storage (no mount sdcard)
this will just present your internal storage as a mass storage device to the system
2: do a
fsck.vfat /dev/sdX or /dev/ubX (whatever it gets detected as) - you can find out via (dmesg|tail)
Analogically, you can fix your data partition if it got corrupted.
You need to do it from recovery since not all roms have the fsck binaries available:
from recovery (copy - paste, unless you know what you're doing):
umount /cache
for x in {2,3,5}, do fsck.ext4 -fyD /dev/block/mmcblk0p1$x;sync;done;clear;echo done

Yes it's an XL, however i can't update, because any zip or file i throw in the SDCARD via twrp recovery after mounting as per my original post it disappears for some reason so i don't know how i would flash anything.

I'm not sure how to do that and what that means. I know how to flash via TWRP recovery which is not working and flash boot images etc using "FASTBOOT".

I can put the zip in there even if i remove the USB cable without unmounting and then plug the USB cable again i see the file inside the phone just fine, the problem is when I unmount to get back into TWRP recovery to install a zip then it doesn't show up. Very weird not sure what is going on, but from what i hear it's a corrupted SD CARD. I found a thread, that teaches you how to fix this, but the link is now broken. I have PM the original poster hope he will contact me back.

adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
this is not working for me instead of just displays all the commands that adb can do.
I have gone and go to advanced>adb sideload in twrp supported version
on my computer i have a folder called c:\fastboot with the adb software and it's the version that supports adb side load according to the instructions so i have met all the requirements. However when i run the command
adb sideload cm.zip
as i am already in the c:\fastboot folder via command prompt all i get is a display of all the commands i can use with adb as if i just typed "adb" and it displays all the commands.
I also tried typing
adb sideload c:\fastboot\cm.zip
this did not work either same result. FYI cm.zip is the name of the rom file.
I also tried typing
adb sideload /fastboot/cm.zip
Any thoughts?

You don't need whole sdk ...if you activate adb sideload in recovery go to device manager on pc there should be something with android device or so ...then right click on it then update drivers or so then something with from computer and download at first the adb drivers for windows 8 extract to a folder a then in the driver update thing select this folder and update it or so...sorry am atm to stupid to write in English but you can sideload because adb drivers aren't working properly...you should also install HTC sync manager etc so it should be fixed then ...if not Google HTC one x adb driver windows 8 many instructions to get all working properlY

[q] SOLVED: ADB ROM PUSH ERROR: DEVICE NOT FOUND

EDIT:
I was trying to reflash JB 4.3 because of storage issues but unfortunately I accidentally deleted and formatted internal and sd storage, so Im left with no OS on my Gnex but I can boot on recovery and fastboot. Also before I deleted the internal I did not enable usb debugging yet at that time. Is there a way I can flash a stock image by just using toolkit? ty
I tried pushing through fastboot mode but it says error: device not found. I only have the platform tools on my pc.
UPDATE:
Finally got the file pushed into the sd card doing via recovery. Since I am using TWRP recevery it was not too obvious how to do it unlike CWRM which I used to use. I spent more than 24 hours looking for the right solution that would work for me and funny thing was I finally got the right way to one of the first threads i looked into but just didnt pay much attention to it which was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
"Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen
- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable
- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)
- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd
- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.
- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)"

Go into your device manager if you have windows, and see if you have any errors.
If you do, you might have an exclamation mark for the device: Galaxy. You can manually install the drivers from here, point it to your toolkit, I guess, since you downloaded it already.

If he reads efrant's "android 101" -which is STICKIED ON GENERAL forum- just the first post, he'll know everything and downloaded everything he needs to know and have to interact with his device.

I have read that already however I was hoping to just flash a file to the sdcard if is even possible considering I have formatted both internal and sdcard. I am very new to adb so its an easier way for me. But it seems then I will ave to do it the hard way. Thanks
PS
Not sure if this has any bearing but when I accidentally formated internal and sdcard it was a fresh 4.3 install and so android debugging was not enabled. Thanks

Doesn't matter because if you reboot in bootloader you can use fastboot(if drivers are installed properly), fastboot always works, you don't need to enable anything for it.

no, there's no ADB interface on FASTBOOT interface. You'll never be able to push anything through ADB in FASTBOOT interface. Please read the thread i talked about earlier, and this one too -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 - Just the first post of each will do.

to move to the root of you c dirve and then type

Issue flashing firmware using adb to ZE550ML

Hi I tried flashing a custom rom on my ZE550ML last week and now have a soft brick(i think). I have looked through many threads and cannot seem to get the answers I need.
During the flashing of the rom I forced restart after about 15 minutes without indication of installation. I didn't make a nandroid backup like i normally do and wiped system cache. I have nothing on the internal storage now and am trying to push the latest firmware from the asus site to the phone but cant get it right.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong with adb. I have the drivers and the firmware. When I reboot to recovery to apply update from adb, I get error saying "closed".
I change the firmware zip filename after watching other vids and reading different posts. Can someone help me understand if either I can't restore my phone or what I am doing wrong.?Thanks in advance!
my command line reads C:\adb>adb push ULZ008WW.ziip /sdcard/ .

I had tried both. Perhaps I was in the wrong location when i tried them. Do I have to go to apply adb update when issuing the adb push command or should i be somewhere else when issuing the adb push command?

Ok. I get that part. I do have a couple of other questions:
1. can the firmware be flashed from an external sd card? If so, can it be any firmware version or should it be the most recent I had installed or earliest version?
2. can the windroid universal android toolkit be used during the flashing of the firmware.
I used the toolkit to install drivers that didn't seem to be different from what i already had installed and when I checked that I had the adb drivers it said i had them.

The syntax of the command is incorrect.
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>"

Mine would not sideload either. I downloaded the zip file to my PC, connected the phone to the PC, put the phone in USB mode, dragged the zip file from the PC to the phone root directory, disconnected from the PC, and flashed the ROM from the phone hard drive.

Faulty ADB drivers I guess. If you have TWRP you can try adb push name /sdcard/

Isn't obvious this is not a driver problem?! Read the error message that is staring him in the face. He has not specified the correct file/path.

Second one is a invalid command because of those <> first command mainly happenda with wrong drivers, I and many other get the error it is quite unexplainable.

Any resolution to this? I'm getting the same problem, saying it cannot read the zip file when I try to sideload

trying to update my wifes phone now. getting the same issue. i typed in adb devices and it shows up, so i know its not driver related. wonder if its a faulty image? ill keep trying

funny i think i just foud the issue. someone posted saying older adbs cant see larger than 1gb (i have a opo so never even heard of this). ill give it a try and report back...
this is the adb ill be using https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Okay, now that may work for others but I could not get it... Sorry
I ended up just removing the encryption, flashing twrp, and flashing OOS that way. Make sure to make a backup... I made a backup of everything... Except contacts because I thought gmail handled that like on my phone. I left my wife a note saying sorry for when she wakes up ha.
At least the annoying updates available message will be gone that we've had since Aug or something

I was getting the exact same errors and was frustrated to no end..... till I figured out how to fix it =)
I had to use this program on my adb.exe to make it large address aware

Grab the laa_2_0_4.zip from the website, open and run as administrator
Click on select executable and go to where your adb.exe is installed, for me it was in C:\adb\adb.exe
Then make sure the checkbox on step 2 is selected and then hit save
I rebooted my PC and upon using the adb on reboot I was finally able to flash the stock OOS roms via adb sideload on my phone
Yipeee!!
