Sorry, I know there's a million threads on xda for people requesting help so I hope someone can help me.
I don't know why but my phone won't mount it's storage. When I try to flash a .zip through CWM, the phone just states it can't mount /sdcard/. When I power the phone on, and I plug it into my PC, the PC says it doesn't recognize the device. Trying to boot the phone into RSD mode makes it semi-recognizable, but is only recognized as a composite device, and I am nervous about flashing back to stock. I haven't tried fastboot and the only time I mess with it is to unlock my photon again.
If anyone has some sage advice, I would be more than grateful for it. Thank you!
What rom are you running? and were you able to mount before a possible flash or update? need more info first before assistance can be given
Oh sorry, I forgot! I'm Running MIUI build MIUI.us_sunfire_v4_2.3.30. and I was able to mount without any incident at all. In fact, I didn't even notice it until just recently, because post-flash of MIUI I was still able to use my usb storage without a hitch. And I was able to flash before.
ok so are you referring to the internal sd/external/both? if external try testing the card in a stand alone reader to see if it could possibly be corrupt
The SD card is definitely okay, and I experience the issue with the SD card in the phone and out. In fact, I don't usually have one in my Photon because of the internal storage.
so external sd then? are you able to see the internal sd? if so try flashing a nandroid back up through the internal and see if you regain connectivity
Hey, I hadn't, unfortunately, had more time to troubleshoot my phone. But I basically was unable to restore from a backup because it was saying /sdcard directory does not exist. I was, strangely enough, able to reinstall the drivers from my PC and RSD back to stock 198_6. However, I still get an error message that my device has malfunctioned when I plug into PC, and just to test, trying to do an "apply update.zip via sd card" in the stock recovery 3e just gives me the same message.../sdcard directory does not exist.

Sorry if this is too obvious a question but does the /sdcard directory exist? Can you navigate to it with a file explorer and open it? Does it look like the structure is intact?

Ah, as strangely enough, I can. I can even navigate to /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard-ext. So there's a /sdcard directory and the previous two. in the /mnt directory there are /usbdisk1.0-7 files as well. Not sure if that helps, though...
Woo! Information bump! So I've been fiddling with my photon and from what I can tell, I get the same issue on 3 PCs(2 at home and 1 at work) where windows states the device has malfunctioned. I don't think it's a driver issue because it's happened multiple times on different PCs, and I know one of them definitely works.. I can definitely navigate to the /sdcard but my PC and phone recovery won't find it. Is there a way I can force the phone to mount it via fastboot? I will literally do ANYTHING to get my phone's internal storage to be read and any help would be mega appreciated!
Weren't people having issues when downgrading from a 198_7 base rom to stock 198_6. You have done a lot of fiddling around that you may have done something by accident and not have even noticed. Btw I believe anything ics based has to have 198_7 as the phones primary. Could be wrong.
That could have been the start of your problem from the beginning
just want to throw in my two cents. when I was haveing a problem with usb I couldnt mount it in cwm. Once i switched to twrp recovery i was able to mount just fine.
To everyone in this thread, THANK YOU! You guys are what make the xda community awesome. And apparently, I got it all figured out. Not sure what I did, but now the computer is recognizing the phone and so are all my other computers.
Still eternally grateful, though, to everyone in this thread.

Here's my issue: I wanted to start with a fresh "slate" for flashing a custom ROM (I originally had TRIGGER+OVERSTOCK). I backed up my apps/settings and the current ROM, disabled the Voodoo lagfix and unrooted the phone. Then, I ODIN'd back to JFD. At this point I downloaded TitaniumBackup and ROM Manager. When I tried to mount the Internal SD card, nothing happened...just the external card mounted. I went back and checked my ODIN settings an noticed that I had left the "Re-Partition" box checked. Freaking out at this point, I then went ahead and rooted the phone, and checked the file system through the Super Manager app. All my data was still there!!! So I went ahead and used ADB to "pull" the TB and ROM Manager data onto my computer just in case. My question is: how do I get the internal SD card to mount correctly?? Any help would be HUGE!!! Thanks in advance for everything!
Oryon007
I can't really tell by your post, are you trying to mount your external sd onto your phone or onto your computer?
I have Odin'ed to JFD with repartition checked many times, and have never had your problem. If I were you, I would just go through and Odin again using a different JFD image (maybe you just had a bad flash, what version of Odin were you using?) As long as whatever you are flashing with Odin contains all the essential bits, repartitioning should not do anything too deadly to your phone. (I learned this the hard way, do not try to Odin and repartition with JI6, for example, because JI6 has no dbdata image included).
If you just want to troubleshoot your current install, check the "/etc/vold.fstab" and "/etc/vold.conf". I can't actually tell you what those two files should look like as I am currently running a 2.2.1 rom (I think the files should differ between versions of the OS, but I'm not sure).
I am a pretty big Linux and Android noob, but I'm pretty sure that those two files are responsible for mounting both sdcards onto your phone, at least partially. (I would have no idea where to look to fix it if it isn't mounting onto your computer.)
Sorry if any of my advice is off, like I mentioned a little earlier, I am a pretty big noob, albeit very interested in Android.
Sorry for the confusion....I'm attempting to mount my internal SD to my computer. As far as ODIN is concerned, I'm using 1.7 with the flash files from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475&highlight=stock+odin
I've used this ODIN flash before without any issues, so I'm still a bit stumped on why I can't mount my SD card. I can see the entire file system from within my phone as well as through ADB, but (for whatever reason) cannot mount it to my PC. I am leaning towards the issue of the SD card being partitioned wrong. Any thoughts? Any ideas on how to repartition the internal SD back to "stock"? Thanks again for any help provided!
-Oryon007
That's actually the same JFD image I use. I would just use Odin to flash JFD again with the repartition checkbox checked. I'm pretty sure that that will solve your problem.
Make sure you use the pit file too, without that you will have serious issues if you are repartitioning.
I'll try this again, just in case I missed something the first time...wish me luck!! I'll let you know how this turned out, too!
-Oryon007
Alright, good luck. Did you use the pit file when you originally flashed JFD and repartitioned? Not using that file may have been why you had this problem.
Ok...so, no change with the internal SD. When I attempt to mount the SD cards to my PC, the only one that shows up is the external one. After unmounting them, I can still see both cards with filesystems. Could the internal SD have been partitioned incorrectly? If so, how do I get it repartitioned right?
EDIT: I did use both original files from here...
Okay, I'm sorry but I have no clue how to help you. Are you sure its not just your computer? You may have to try and get help from somebody more knowledgeable than me. Have you tried flashing any other rom through Odin over JFD?
Not yet...I wanted to make sure that it wasn't something that I was doing incorrectly through ODIN. Again, my ultimate goal in all this was to have a "clean slate" to install a custom ROM on; the catch I'm running into is that I can't mount the internal SD card to place the files on to flash through CWM, even though I can see all the files through the phone and through ADB. *sigh* Thanks for your help though! It's always nice to have help when you run into these issues...
EDIT: After trying to ODIN JI2 files, I get the following error upon boot of the phone in Recovery:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Look at what I said at the end of the second paragraph, on the second post in the parentheses.
EDIT: Just flash a rom using Odin that does have a dbdata file. You probably checked repartition while flashing JI2.
Last night I was having a similar problem. While I wasnt flashing back to stock or anything, I could only get G: (external sd) to mount to my pc but not the F: (internal storage). Eventually I disabled USB Debugging, plugged in the USB cable from the pc, and it gives you 3 options for USB Mode: Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage. Once I selected mass storage, both internal and external sd cards mounted to the PC with no problem. Just remember to re-enable USB Debugging after.
Finally got it!!
Finally found the issue!! Only took me a week....lol
Going to manage my disk drives found that my PC wanted to assign a drive letter that was already assigned to a mapped network drive. *duh* Obviously not going to work. Reassigned the drive letter and voila!! I can mount my internal SD card!! w00t!!
That's really terrible and hilarious at the same time. Why wouldn't windows just pick another letter to map it to?
I have CWM v5 newly installed. I immediately ran a backup with it and all went well. Now, a little later, I've been looking into CyanogenMod and wanted to tiny baby steps so I was nice and confident with things.
I tried to do another backup from CWM and it said it couldn't mount /sdcard. I tried to restore and the same error. Rebooted a few times and it's the same still.
I booted normally and checked with a standard file manager and /sdcard was fine. I haven't changed anything since the time it was working but I still seem to have broken things
What can I do?
EDIT: Actually, since getting CWM on the device, I have played a little with ADB commands and replaced the bootanimation.zip. Everything works when the phone is booted normally so that can't have caused it. Can it?
You really like new threads eh?
I presume you don't have a physical micro SD card, and you've changed kernels again at some point. Now the sdcard mentioned in newer CWM recovery is the external_sd, which you don't have. Use the internal SD card option.

I love them I do search before hand to see if there are similar threads relating to my device but because there aren't, I thought making a new thread per issue would be helpful. I can keep it all in this thread though if that's the etiquette around here though.
I used kTool to flash the zImage from the link you pointed out in my last thread, that gave me CF-Root v5 and CWM. I haven't changed anything since that point so if it worked once, I don't understand why it won't work again. You have confused me about the sdcard/external_sd. I have a card in the device, and everything normally saves to /sdcard but there's also /sdcard/external_sd which is always empty. I also see /sdcard/usbStorage where I have put some files too, but I don't really understand the naming conventions.
As I said, look for the "internal sd card" option in CWM recovery.
I'll add a bit more in the hope you don't need to keep posting.
If you don't have a physical micro SD card in your phone and you try to use any of the "install/backup/restore to/from sdcard" in newer versions of CWM recovery, it will give an error about being unable to mount /sdcard. Also, as far as I know, /sdcard/usbStorage refers to USB OTG, so unless you've got a USB OTG cable and a memory card/HDD plugged in, you shouldn't be writing files to that location.
Backed up successfully to internal sdcard, although I wasn't able to restore from it first which I don't understand because there should be the original one from earlier somewhere.
Turns out I was wrong, I don't appear to have a card in that SD slot even though I could swear there was one. And I can create files/folders in /sdcard/external_sd/ so I give up, lol.
EDIT: Nope, just the normal USB that came with the phone. I created the files/folders directly in the phone when I tested it.
Hello guys,
at first i want to explain what happened to me:
i wanted to format an usb-stick on my pc, i used windows' diskpart in the cmd.
well, somehow i maid something very wrong and formated the sd-card of my sgs2, which was connected in the "usb-connection"mode. Well, it was no problem for me, the datas (music and pictures) are safed. but the smartphone don't recognize the card anymore could be because i formated it in ntfs. Well, the storages is always shown in the computer, as soon as i plug my phone in. i don't need to activate the usb-connection mode.
well i'm on a pacman rom and the following is my kernel:
Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.1-[00-49]-[07-03]-JB-CM-AOKP-SGII-PWR-CORE
i could format the card with the pc i think, also did it as a fat32 file system, but nothing shown in the phone.
can anybody help? maybe format it with a terminal emulator or so?
thanks for any suggestions!
greetings
Format in CWRecovery.
thanks for that tip.
i tried it, via mounts and storage, but i get an error:
"
Formatting /emmc...
Erro mounting /emmc!
Skipping format...
done.
"
i think i should format the storage via the pc, but how :/
Try formating sd card using a linux pc
I did same thing with a flash drive and worked
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with PACMAN ROM v22.2 and DorimanX 9.20 kernel
that's a good advice.
do you have had the same things as i? so that you can see the storige when the device is active and plugged in? i'll try it later in the evening with a live linux, if i can't get any other solution on windows
Let us know how you get on/if it works. Using a LiveCD & doing it could be a good solution for someone else who finds nothing works (Rather than going the whole hog & doing a full Linux install they'll never use again).
i'm not sure if linux can do more than windows. i've formated the stick 3 times now, once with the diskpart console-programm, well this time "format fs=fat32" of course, than via "computer" (rightclick, format) and here also fat32... then i tried this tool:
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
nothing to see in the smartphone either.
of course i've unplugged the cable before.
do you think it could help to do a flash via odin? well, for this i could need some instructions, it would be great to flash a custom rom, because i wouldn't use the stock rom.
but so far thanks anyway for your help, very nice how fast you reply ;D
and here a little apology, i'm very sorry for my english. i hope you can understand most of it ^^
Your English is good
Hmmmm. I'm not sure flashing anything in Odin would help, flashing another rom won't make any difference (Because this is kernel-side). Though I guess you could try flashing another custom kernel/reflashing the one you're using, but that would probably only be useful if there was something funky going on with CWRecovery causing your attempts to format through there to barf.
How about restoring a nandroid backup ?
To be honest, I've heard worse ideas than the Linux suggestion.
a nandroid backup isn't such a good point i guess.
because it contains the apps and so on, and i can't have an backup because i cant flash anything in the cwrecovery (because it cant mount the /emmc)
i think something tricky is up here, otherwise i could mount it easily in the recovery menü, but no chance. i tried it with a terminal emulator with the lines:
su (so that i'm superuser) then of course i accepted the su-prompt, and then typed:
mount -o remount rw /mnt/sdcard
but something must be wrong there because of the following error:
mount: Invalid argument
when i go to settings-> storages i have the internal storage with ~2GB for apps and so on, and it shows another "internal storage", where there are 2.00B used by "other"... when i click on that i see a .defaultrom data, nothing more.
any suggestions what this means? do i have an internal storage mounted where there is a 2bytes file and nothing more free?
that "re-partition" option in odin seems to be interesting.
do you think a flash of an emmc_EXT4_16GB.pit with the "re-partition" field ticked could help me?
EDIT:
fixed it 8)
well but i don't just want to tell how i did it, firstly i want to tell that it wasn't such a deep thing as "sectors broken while formating" or something like that. i really don't know the reason for myself, but i fixed it without the pc. i tried to format the storage with linux, there i tried ext4 and fat32, nothing worked.
than i googled a bit with the live linux, than i found someone who had the same problems like me. Well, he wasn't finished where i was, because he got the problem again after flashing a cm 10.1, but i don't need to flash it, and i dont think i will get the problem, because i got it in a different way than he (he installed cm10.1 from an external sd, than the internal didn't showed up)
Well, i dont want to write longer, i'll tell how it worked:
go to settings -> backup and reset -> factory data reset and in the next page tick "Erase SD card"
this formats the card itselfes, so it recognizes it after all. if i could i'd have formated it in the "storage" section, but there i had no ability to do so.
well, i hope i can help someone with this fix ;D
Ok, without getting into the cascading series of screwiness along the way, I think I've managed to effectively brick my phone. I'm posting in hopes that the part of my brain screaming "No, you're missing something" is right.
e970, already rooted, running CyanogenMod 10.1 and TWRP 2.6.3.0. In pursuit of a "clean slate" to deal with remnants of sloppy uninstallations, I thought I'd clear everything with TWRP and just put CM back. So, I pulled out my SD card with my saved data, and had TWRP wipe everything, including the CM zip on the root of the built-in storage. I copied the newer CM and GAPPS to a spare SD card, plugged it in...
and I found the external SD card wasn't recognized by TWRP. There's only 1 storage location listed, which is the built-in area I just wiped.
I can't get the phone to be recognized by a desktop running Windows 8.1. I have freshly installed the drivers, downloaded the SDK, rebooted, etc. from that side. The phone is never recognized by either Windows or ADB. So, I dug out the laptop I originally installed CM from some time back (last year?). Same story - no Windows or ADB recognition.
Ok, fine - maybe the USB port is dying on me. I'll try formatting the SD card and see if that's the issue. FAT32, copy the files back, still no luck. Great. Maybe it's the card, so I copy my data and put the zips on the original card I had in the phone. Still no dice.
So, here I am. No OS installed, no image on the internal drive to recover from, TWRP won't recognize my external card(s), and I can't get anything to acknowledge the phone via USB to do a sideload.
Am I missing something, or did I completely hose myself?
I forgot to mention: I did try different cables and ports on both computers before arriving at the idea the e970 USB port may have having issues.
Have you tried a different SD card?
SD card have a finite lifespan, and I've seen them fail n the middle of normal use. The first thing I'd try would be a different SD.
If that doesn't work, you may have to just LGPNST back to bone stock.
(You may want to play with the "Partition SD Card" option under "Advanced" in TWRP. It'll wipe any data on the card so back up to your computer first, but this may kick the SD card into being recognized by the phone [though I dont know how windows would react to it])

I did, in fact. I tried it on a spare first, so I didn't have to worry about erasing the data on the SD card I pulled out of the phone. When that failed, I tried copying the zips onto my original card, which was also not picked up. I've found other posts on here that suggest this particular version of TWRP had issues reading external cards, but I don't see any way to get a different one on the phone at this point.

I might be missing the mark here, but wouldn't this format the already-empty internal storage (since it's the one selected) rather than the external card?

If you can boot the phone into fastboot (should be VOL UP + Power), you should be able to flash the recover that way with:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
You'll need to get the .img instead of a flashable zip obviously, but that can be done even by grabbing the "recovery.img" file from a flashable recovery zip.

I've honestly not messed with this option; I just know I've solved similar problems with flash drives in the past by formatting in different ways.

How is he going to do that? He can't get a PC to recognize the phone.
Maybe try a Linux box? You could make an Ubuntu live USB stick with some extra storage space on it, and try running adb from there.

There's a thought... I think I have a Knoppix disk around here that I could boot from. I don't have high hopes, since it's not being recognized by the laptop I did this on originally, but I'll give anything a shot at this point. I'll let you know how it goes.
No dice. ADB gives me the same response whether the phone is at the fastboot screen or the sideload inside TWRP.

Check ALL your cords
Another update. After presuming me e970 dead, going to Best Buy to shop for an AT&T Next upgrade, running the HTC One m8 for a couple days, I get a wild hair to try the HTC cord on the old phone. Oddly enough, it works and the phone was picked up immediately. I've already pushed CM over via adb, and and working on gapps now.
Apparently both of the cords I tried previously weren't up to spec for smartphone use. I'm going to have to come up with a labelling system on what's good for trickle charges and what's good for data.
I'm not sure what a return will do to my upgrade status, but I'd rather wait on a new phone. It even looks like I know what I'll get. Thanks for the ideas along the way.
Nice, glad you found a solution. Unless things have changed with the new plans, you should be OK to return the phone within 14 days and keep your upgrade.

Wanted to pull this out of the newbie thread, not because it doesn't belong there (i'm certainly still an XDA newb) but because hold IRC-chat is it hard to keep up with all those posts...guess I'm too much of a noob for the newbie post?
TL;DR:
My TF700T has TWRP functioning, but no Android OS installed. Unfortunately TWRP doesn't seem to recognize anything in the USB/SD card ports. See below for what I've tried.
Full Story:
I was trying the whole new ROM on my tablet (ASUS TF700T) thing. I have the recovery part setup just fine TWRP, but I made the foolish mistake of wiping the ENTIRE internal storage, including my backup.
Certainly not a good start, but easy enough to put the new image (I was going for crombie-kk) on an SD card & load from that, except for my problem.....
TWRP doesn't seem to notice my SD Card (or USB) storage devices. It lists "external storage" as one would expect, but it's always 0MB and no files, regardless of whether a device attached. I know the devices are good, and I know the USB & SD card ports were working the day I started the rooting/romming process--so i'm reluctant to think they coincidentally died that exact day.
I've tried SD cards (both full & micro) in both SD card slot & USB port, as well as USB sticks of varying sizes. I've even tried various file formats on these storage devices, but I can't get anything other than 0MB.
Any advice on how to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING, on my device? Obviously a custom ROM is the goal but even if I could go back to a stock device--at least the external storage would work and I could go from there!
Thanks for the help in advance

If I understand your problem corectly you have to go into Recovery and mount your sd card first.
I'n not sure where in the TWRP recovery exactly is but there is surely a menu 'mount'.
In there you have to mount your sd card first.
Hope it solve your problem.

I should have mentioned that. I have tried mounting (under the "mount" menu), it lists "Micro SDcard" as an option, but won't select (it just flashes & stays unchecked) when I attempt to select it.
Thanks for pointing that out though.
See if you can adb push a rom zip to the internal storage.

I don't think I can, "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" does not seem to see my table, when it is attached to the computer. I went to "Mount" --> "ADB Sideload" so the tablet is "listening" for the adb push....but as I said, adb.exe cannot see my tablet
So did I brick this tablet beyond repair?
Is there anything I can do?
What about factory reset?
HALP!
And thanks, for everything I've gotten so far and hopefully everything to come.
Factory reset won't help in this situation at all.
