Phone is wiped, and recovery cannot mount both the external and internal SD card
Recoveries can be written to the 2GB system partition but when launched they cannot mount the SD cards which means no ROMs can be flashed.
Phone is in S-OFF, Relocked state, HBOOT ENG_1.90.2005
What recovery are u using?

Tried 3 clockworks and 1 TWRP, all have the same problem, any suggestions I can install those no problem!
Ah ha... 4ext is your answer. Dev section, look for my thread containing [RECOVERY] 4EXT by MadMaxx82

I need the .img file for 4EXT recovery or I cannot command fastboot via adb to install it. There is no .img file available for 4EXT on these forms. He charges about $3 for the program on Google Play so it would not be lying around here for anyone to have.

Thanks, I managed to juggle my way to getting a ROM to flash to the SD card by trail and error after 8 hours of being away!
Now I realized the Ti back-up folder on my computer is empty so must plunge back into the coma to get the old ROM back again and get Ti to run a batch, save it to my computer and start all over again!

Hi all. Used the search tool but couldn't find nothing similar.
My ATRIX is unlocked, rooted, running stock gingerbread. I used the automatic script for unlocking bootloader and rooting. I guess it installed Tenfar's recovery too. I installed Rom Manager some time ago, and today I have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0. So I wanted to switch to romracer's in order to install a custom rom (maybe neutrino or wet dream, something with hdmi landscape =).
I was trying to instal romracer's recovery this morning. I'd put the .zip on my ext sdcard, but when I tried to use the "Install fom SD card" in RomManager, all I could see was the internal storage files. So I went ahead and transferred the .zip to internal storage root. Used Install from SD card again, selected the .zip. The phone rebooted, got into recovery mode.
That's when the problem came. It keeps waiting for SD card to mount, and then times out (20s). Is this sdcard trying to mount the EXT microSD? Why he needs it, since the .zip is in internal storage?
Any ideas on how to solve this? Am I doing something wrong here? Thank you very much. sorry providing so much information, thought it could be useful.
edit: additional information: I can see and use the external sd card on the phone normally. Can acces it via USB too, no problem.
Where exactly are you stuck? You say you managed to flash a zip and then rebooted the phone, right? So where are you now?
What filesystem is your SD card formatted in?

When it reboots and automatically enters recovery, it says it cannot mount the SD card. So it doesn't actually flashes the zip, I guess. I'm where I begun.
Windows says its "FAT". Not FAT32, just FAT. Its a small (512mb) microsd card from my old phone. Should I format it? Maybe its just too small to use in this phone?
Thanks for your reply.

no clue about what was happening to my sdcard?
I thought it might've been a fs issue - I had something similar recently, but it does seem more like your recovery is borked!
As that guy up there ^ said, flashing over the recovery may do the trick
Hello,
I recently rooted my EVO LTE and was looking to install a Custom ROM.
I used this method and this Video:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690919
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690919
I put the Latest Mean ROM on an External SD Card and then opened the Team Win Recovery with the Quick Boot App.
Once I got into Team Win Recovery, I deleted all the Data, Cache, and etc and I was not able to locate the Meanrom.zip file.
I could see all my files except for the Mean Rom Zip File on my external SD Card, I mounted it and saw that the Mean ROM file was in the SD Card.
Then I turned off my EVO using the Reboot Option on the Team Win Recovery, but now when I turn it on, all I see is the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen and I cannot turn off the phone. Can someone help me return back to recovery and help me install a custom rom?
Thanks

Have you tried holding volume down and power to get into the bootloader? Also, if you have adb on your PC, you can type:
adb reboot recovery
...to get into recovery.

You wiped everything the phone needs to boot. So it will not boot into the android OS.
Use the button combo to boot into recovery and flash a ROM.

There is a small option in TWRP. When on the screen to pick your file to flash, make sure the appropriate option is checked (internal storage or sdcard). It is right above the files to choose. Hopefully that is what is wrong.

If you are trying to install the latest MeanRom you must be on twrp 2.2.1. If you are not you will most likely get errors or the install will fail. Mikey has put together a great rom, but with the addition of Google Now the rom has grown to 615mb. For some reason the older versions of twrp seem to choke on that large of a rom. Also, you should be on the latest firmware. Good luck.

Tried to flash MeanRom to my EVO Lte after using CMX for a week or so with no problems.
Now I'm all turned around and I have no clue what's going on. My phone will still boot into recovery so I'm assuming all hope is not lost. However I can't access my internal sd, can't use the adb shell command (I get: "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)"), I've tried to flash CMX back onto my phone but the files seem to have disappeared from it's internal memory. adb reboot recovery works, sends me to TWRP. But once in TWRP I get confused and frustrated because I can't seem to find a way to just flash a damn ROM onto my phone. None of my backups are listed in "restore" and I had three there this morning. WHAT GIVES?
I'm using a Mac and don't have access to Linux or Windows, I was going to try to unroot it and start from there but I can't seem to find a way to unroot the phone on a Mac. Unless I'm googling wrong.

you did save your backups to external not internal right?
are you s-off? what boot loader?
if you can get into recovery you should be able to load a rom zip on sd card and flash from external card.

I saved them to internal. I don't have an external yet.. Single mom, had to buy my kid shoes. Damned priorities...
I can get into recovery I just don't have an external sd that I can put a zip on. I thought I had an extra from my old HTC G2 but I've been unable to locate it.
Should I run out to Fry's and buy an external sd card or is there a way to fix it without the external?
Edit: Btw, I'm s-ON. I'm still fairly new ish to this stuff so I'm not 100% what bootloader I'm using. Is it the same as Hboot? Hboot is 1.19.0000

If I'm using Mac and not Windows will that be ok? I can mount it to my computer but where should I go from there? Erasing it? Restoring it? I'd be using disc utility, unless there's a different program that works better.
thats fine, go to twrp and select mount/mount as storage and connect to pc, format volume fat32

Now once I do that, just add the rom files to my phone's internal and try to flash a new rom, correct?
Have you tried to format storage through the boot loader?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
yes, once its formatted, add a rom, prefereably meanrom, its the only one I've tried that has reliably installed the kernel. Give it 5-10 minutes, the phone will hang on writing kernel and it will reboot 2-3 times and it will hang each time, just let it do its thing

No, that literally just occured to me as I refreshed the page. Off to try that now.
I don't have an HTC phone with me now to show the exact steps but usually when you get to the boot loader it will have an option for formatting storage. Then try to go into recovery and mount.

Maybe twrp isnt mounting the internal memory. I dont see that being a problem though

Well **** I'm going to run out and buy a microsd and try to flash the rom from external. Let you know how it goes.
Alright, so flashed CMX back to my phone from the external sd. Worked beautifully. I now have a rom running on my phone.
Still can't figure out the internal sd.... Is there anyone who can tell me step-by-step what to do to reformat it or fix it or whatever? I feel like this should be a relatively easy fix, am I right? Why can't I figure it out?? Ugh.
Reboot to recovery, select mount, select mount USB storage, plug it into pc, open disk utility and select sd, select erase and choose fat
When you're booted up an go in to Menu/Settings/Storage is nothing showing under Internal storage or Phone storage?

I can't put anything on the sd card I formatted that too ! Pls help !
Is there a way to do this by fastboot ? Or any other way ? Any help will be greatly appreciated ! Thanks

Download a ROM, put it in your SD-Card, mount it and flash it through recovery.
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

P.S. Time for school, not much time for XDA
sideload is a mode within some recoveries that lets you easily flash roms/mods/etc without having it on your phone, you could look for another recovery for your phone and use that but first try to reformat sd in recovery again.
i assume you dont have a sdcard reader that you can place a rom on your card or you would have done so, but you can use adb
open a terminal in the location of the ROM you want (cd to it if you need)
adb push nameofROM.zip /sdcard
then also push gapps or whatever else you need
then flash from recovery
if the above wont work there are more ways

I can't mount system/data/sdcard in recovery and almost everything else . I do have am 2gb external memory card though . I tried flashing Insertcoin ROM from my external SD card but whenever its installing halfway in Aroma , the phone will just turn black screen (shutdown or something) and then it will get stuck at HTC bootscreen .
I tried to use adb to mount the internal memory to my PC using some guide on xda forums but it won't work too .

1. What is your hboot version?
2. What recovery did you flash?
You might have the wrong recovery, which causes the reboots during the flashing process. If you updated to kitkat via OTA, you should install TWRP recovery, which you can find in Desire 601 Original Android Development. Also, if you have an OTG cable, you can use a USB stick or HDD instead of an SD card.

You have the new hboot with the new partition layout. You HAVE TO use this TWRP. Otherwise it will always do some weird stuff and mess up your phone. If you really can't find a working SD, then use adb to push the ROM zip file in your internal memory by typing this into your cmd/terminal:
Code:
adb push <file>.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
Replace <file> with the name of the ROM zip you downloaded.
Then in TWRP go to Install and select the rom.zip file from the list. It should work fine.
