[Q] Sending Back Under Warranty - Best way to Stock and Wipe - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using the latest DOW 14, ended up with the dreaded internal sd card not mounting. stl10 error!
Anyway, sending it back, but I don't have anyway of wiping the internal sd card. Is there something I can do to mount it to my pc like a USB drive.

Go to settings then sd card and phone storage, and format.

Factory reset will only erase apps and data, not the internel storage.

I think I need a way through my pc rather than using the phone. my phone can't mount it's sd card.

Try q&a section you'll just get flame here

Thanks... just moved... thought I might get more of a development answer, but I should get answers in the q&a section too.

The files are stored on internal storage. You don't need wipe this storage.

You can wipe sdcard storage external from rom or recovery. Usb storage is your internal sdcard.

Just go to settings/storage and check. Usb storage is your internal memory, I think.

Emmc memory cannot be read on computer.

It looks like I accidentally formatted my emmc memory and it cannot be seen by my computer. Does anyone know how to manually formatting it to make it functional again? I restored to a factory rom and back to aokp. I can see the memory and add files to it but music app cannot access internal drive. I get two drives in my computer but can only access SD card when I enable memory access. Any help on this will be awesome.

This isn't helpful I know but I thought id let you know this does not really belong in development thread. Just letting you know why no one is gonna help. People are crazy

Ill try to be of some help. I'd try reflashing your rom from an external SD card. No guarantees as I've not run into this problem, but it's worth a try.

No luck. I can't use my emmc memory. 8 gig SD is still ok
Here is what I did to fix it...
1) Made a nandroid backup of my RevoHD 6 setup
2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cahche
4) Format EMMC
I then restored from another nandroid backup that I had loaded and I can now open my EMMC from windows computer!

Sync with Google and see if they are restored.

a full wipe using recovery mode can delete my photos in /sdcard ?! wow that's new
i 'm pretty sure that "wipe data/factory reset" wipes /data and /cache partitions and it has nothing to do with /sdcard & /sdcard/external_sd
unless if have erased all ur data on internal SD using the devices settings without entering recovery .. if so , then it's impossible to get those files back .. sorry for that
anayways as a last try u can see this app :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete
u can also try this PC app with ur internal and external SD cards mounted as mass storage http://www.piriform.com/recuva
i tried them both with no luck
and to be clear and more specific my photos were not on my SD Card they were on the phone

"On the phone" would mean on the internal SD card of the phone, which is not wiped when doing a factory reset for the recovery or even from settings > backup and reset. All media files should be there. You must have formatted the internal SD card as well, in which case I don't think its possible to retrieve them.

External Storage not mounting in Android

Hey guys! I'm currently running the AOKP&CM9 Remix and for some reason it won't mount/register the additional storage space in the device. I can access it from Clockworkmod, so I know it's there and accessible, but trying to access it from either a file manager or from the Settings(Storage section) they just crash/trow generic errors. I realize this probably should go into the main thread, but I don't have the comment count high enough to comment there. Thanks so much for pointers/help!
What do you mean additional storage? Like USB OTG storage, or the internal SD card?
Sent from my aokp_tenderloin using xda premium
The internal SD card.
Oh, hey! You're the dev! Is there any way I can give you logs or anything to help? You're doing a great job with updating. If this means anything, I "updated" from OaTs cm10.
Sounds like a problem with the media scanner app not releasing the SD card. You could try to just wipe the dalvik cache and /system, then re-flash.

Just did, same error. What's the MD5 for your original file? Maybe the download was corrupt.
Here's the error I get in logcat for opening the Storage option from the home screen: http://pastebin.com/HdTuS4Y8

Well, I learnt my lesson, always backup everything on a ext sd

great that you got it working, i would recommend trying to s-off your phone just because... so flashing rom's and fixing problems if any happens in the future will be easier
yea I know, It looked pretty bleak for a while where i basically couldn't do anything with the phone,
I will look into s-off
fix
