So I had unlocked my rezound previously and was running the old firmware and decided I wanted to try CleanROMs DE and I followed the steps exactly including the old firmware patch. The Sdcard never mounted properly so I figured I would try a different ROM, none of which allowed the SDcard to mount properly. I've been using a card reader to do all of this and if anyone has any idea how to recover the sdcard through mounting or if I should flash the RUU to start over at the beginning or the leak to start there, please help me. Thank You!
What rom did you switch too? Are you trying to go to a gingerbread rom? Are you still on the non leaked official firmware that came with the phone?

Hi,
My USB connection is broken and i need to send my phone for repair. Most of the methods for getting the phone back to stock involve an RUU that works over USB. Since i do not have this luxury i have flashed the generic WWE hero rom and stock radio. But what about the recovery image etc?
Once i had flashed the generic stock rom and radio i got a notification about the OTA. I thought, great, this will take me back to official software with recovery image etc. However when it asked if i wish to install the update and i said yes it got to the recovery image and threw some error at me so it wont flash the OTA.
EDIT: the error i get is
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E: No signature (216 files)
E: Verification failed
Installation Aborted
Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone have a link to a zip that i can flash from recovery that will take everything back to default including the recovery image?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Sorry but you can't reset to default without a usb connection (BTW the default for a hero would be 1.5 ROM which it came with). By that being said a mini usb is very common (like for some cameras, external harddrives etc.) are you sure you don't have one laying around?
not the cable its the port
Hi,
It's not the cable thats broken it's the port. Is there really no other way to restore without using the usb port??
solution!
For all those naysayers that said it could not be done!
First i found a super old stock rom on modaco, one with a kernal that allowed the use of flashrec.
Then i found some nice person that had posted a backup of their recovery image. I copied that recovery backup to the sd card and used flashrec to restore it so now i have the stock recovery image and stock rom.
Only problem now is for some reason the device is not telling me that an OTA update is due. It did this for every other stock rom that i tried so i am a bit concerned i am now stuck with the oldest stock rom....
Any ideas? ....agian?

I would just send it in for repair. Then root it from 1.5 when you get it back
Ok, i think i might.
Is there any chance they could tell i have been messing with it, for example it has the oldest stock ROM installed on it, is this not slightly suspisious?? Maybe the radio version is slightly newer than the ROM version? I know these guys will look for any excuse not to honour my warranty.
Or is it perfectly ok as long as all the software on it is standard android / htc stuff?
Thanks for all your advice.
settings > privacy> factory data reset ....
try that if it helps
Is it possible that it messed up your settings cause you used someone else's recovery image?
you could go htc website and try to install the official 2.73 rom and then upate to the 2.1 ota from there
obiously you will loose root if your phone was rooted but you can always unroot if you have your goldcard.img
hey i want to go back to the stock rezound rom that came with the phone, where can i find it? i installed Newts rom and its CONSTANtly rebooting, i can maybe get 1 minute on the phone before it does, which means i cant get anyting onto the SD card, and yes iv tried reflashing the rom, twice, is there anyway to trasnfer things to the SD card from Amon Ra recovery? thansk
Which one of Newt's roms did you flash?
Did you do the ICS RUU update or not?

Yes, in the main menu I think like the 3 option. Mount USB or USB mount will allow you to mount the SD card to the computer and you can file transfer.
i flashed this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501512
and whats the ics RUU? sorry my last android was the mytouch 4g which was much easier haha

The latest ICS leak has new firmware which changes the SD Card mount points (among other things).
When running the latest ICS based roms, you either need to update the firmware or see if the dev offers an SD Card mount patch so the newer version of ICS will work with the older firmware.
I was asking if you installed the RUU because you can't go back to the GB RUU if you did. Since you didn't, mount the card as noted in recovery and use this to go back to a rooted stock rom.
Stock rom - http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=76
Boot Image - http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=77
You'll need to flash the boot image with fastboot like you did your recovery.
And next time, I recommend a nandroid back up before you change roms in case you want to revert back.
No idea what happened but lost access to external sd after flashing latest ICS leak, flashing amon and restoring con rom. Also htc storage says only 12kb available?? Any ideas guys. I feel like such a noob. lol.
If you are still on the gb firmware, you need to run the old firmware patch.

Thanks for the help. I wasn't on gb firmware because I just updated to latest ics leak. Not sure what happened but maybe I was able to get back and will try again today. Thanks.
Did you run the latest ICS ruu (or flash the ph98img) or just flash one of the roms based on the leak? Just trying to clarify.

Yes, the latest ICS ruu and then Con rom. I am back up and running. Thanks.
i have never really had problems. today i downloaded a theme and went to flash it. in recovery, which is amonra 3.15...i cant get to my internal sd card. theres nothing there.
so obviously i backed up...deleted and formatted..put my stuff back and still same problem. Root Explorer sees all my files just fine...i dont get it. also..it mounts to my PC.
Any ideas?
Hey there everybody, tried to find a solution all day long for my problem, but wasn't successful jet.
Brought uk version of ics on my tab (using P7510XXLPH) without any problems. I came from cm9 with cwm 5.5.0.4, because of the rolling recovery issue i flashed a different bootloader using isimobile's method.
To get ics working i flashed Stock HC, wiped cache and made a factory reset, both 3x. Finally flashed UK 7510 Version (everything with odin 1.85). Works great now, better then ever....
But and here is the problem, if i want to flash the zip for easy-root from internal sd card using stock recovery mode, it can't be mounted (see attached pictures).
I looked all day long on xda without finding a solution fitting for me. Maybe i'm searching with the wrong words, don't know. There are many solutions for a external sd card, also for different devices, but how can i solve my problem with a gt-p7511/7510?
Hope that someone can help me, don't want to kill the tab by using a try-and-error-method.
And please don't kill me directly, if i did something wrong, just getting started and want to learn now activ, after just reading xda for years.
Thanks for your help!
Just to avoid anybody to think i'm blind, yes i read also these two threads without beeing convinced that they would help me:

edit 2:
Just to prevent anyone to stick at the same trapp as i did, all stock recovery from ics and up where patched to prevent access to sdcard from there. This might be clear to many here, but it wasn't to me. Thanks to msedek, who lighted me up, my "problem" is absolutely normal and wished by devs. Just didn't delet my post becaus about 100 people seemed to be interested so there could be need to state that clear.
Sorry to post bs. If someone thinks my post isn't helpful at all it can be deleted also.
I return now back to read-only-state in the forum, there is still much more to learn...
Hi, I have the same problem on my GT-P7500 (Galaxy Tab 10.1).
If I flash with Odin the stock HoneyComb firmware, all returns working as usual.
If I flash with Odin the stock ICS firmware, I get this issue and can't install anything on recovery because it says
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
by the way I'm happy that you confirm this isn't my fault on something :angel:
Anyway, now the only method to get a working root seems to be:
1) Flash HC
2) Root as usual
3) Do the OTA update to ICS
The first time I updated to ICS, I've done this way because I had original Rooted HC and after the update, Root was still present.

Only method?? Once youve installed ICS, use Odin to flash CWM and then install the root zip

I flashed with mobile Odin and had the same problem. I think Samsung blocked it so we are not able to root easily. This was the case in 7510 in honeycomb also. Anyway, I used Odin to install team win recovery and rooted it!
Sent from my amazing 10.1 galaxy tab
Yes, thats what i was informed about to by msedek. It's a issue to might prevent us from flashing without custom recovery.
Obviousely it worked, thought i did something wrong and my tab didn't act normal

Hey,
I just unlocked my Atrix and after doing so i figured i could just install a ROM and be rooted (I own a Desire and a Desire HD, used to doing this). Well apparently not, so now i have one ROM in my internal storage, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060064
And it bootloops when flashed. I didn't make a backup of the stock ROM (silly me) and I can't mount the internal storage on my PC without having a proper ROM(?). I've also tried putting an SD card in with something to flash but that doesn't show up in CWM.
Can i flash this with RSD Lite? http://static.droidnetwork.net/1kds/SBF/Atrix/
Would that be safe?
Any other ideas are appreciated, thanks.

Don't want to sound patronising, but have you tried doing all the wipes and reflashing the ROM. I use TWRP on the Atrix but on my LG 4x HD I use CWM and have to mount the system before flashing.
If you are using SBF, make sure you pick the correct one based on whether you have an international or ATT&T Atrix.

Hey and thanks for the response.
After doing a factory reset and installing the rom (it installs really fast) i try to mount /system, it says error mounting /system.
If i flash the international one it wont brick my device right?
Hey one more thing, where do i find the international version? The link i posted only contains AT&T US .sbfs. It won't brick my phone even though i'm unlocked right?
I also have a new problem, i can't charge the phone and I don't have enough battery to flash. When i plug it in it just stays at the Moto logo and apparently doesnt charge.
So basically i can't charge it, I can't flash .sbfs, i can't flash ROMs because i don't have any in my internal storage and CWM won't see my SD card, and my computer can't see the phone so i could put another ROM there.
I'm in quite a mess it seems, any ideas?
