I rooted, unlocked, loaded a custom ROM. I ported over my #, and it went HAYWIRE. Now I cannot use my phone. I am able to get to the teamwin screen, but I have no roms or backups to load. What do I do?!
I do have a SD card.
When you're at teamwin you should be able to mount your internal sd card and then hook it up to your computer via usb and drop a rom on the internal card.

This is exactly what I'm trying to do.
Unfortunately I just realized I gave my dad my SD card. He will be back in an hour.
Anything I can do now? I see a "mount" option but it's asking me to "reformat"....
Internal sd should be your built in memory. I haven't installed a recovery on my LTE yet but I've never had this problem on other phones.

So my dad rushed over and it's installing...I put over freEvo and it said failed, even after wiping cache/etc. Now what do I do....
Also while I'm here, does anyone know how to install things to SD card instead of internal memory?
When looking at the internal memory, the external sd is mapped to the 'ext-sd' folder.
My suggestion, read some more, then read again, then read instructions a third time until you fully understand what you're doing. Look at some youtube videos of the process too. If at any point along the way you're scratching your head, stop and rewind.
Assuming you actually transferred the rom to the sd (internal or ext), you're simply not pointing to it when flashing through the recovery.
Saying something failed isn't saying a whole lot. If you want useful help, you need to be much more detailed. What completed successfully, what exactly failed, when, what were the steps to duplicate, etc.
Put your phone into the boot loader.... Run the ruu and let it go back to stock... The root your phone again.

This.
Have you tried doing a factory reset yet? a lot of times that's all it needs if you're on a stockish rom
hello team,
i have an I777, the problem i receive is : E: can't mount /emmc/
the i read a lot articles about this and non of them is looks like my problem, because the internal sd is detected in the MCW recovery like the external SD, abd when you try to mount the internal SD he just reconize that one like a external when i connect the external SD card in the phone, he detect that one like the internal SD, and let me mount the OS, but when the system restart to open the OS is not working and just send the galaxy sII screen and then shoot down the cel.
help please!!
If I'm understanding this correctly, in settings>storage and in there you can swap the storage settings.
Sorry if this isn't your problem. You might want to explain more.
Cheers!

well the problem is the phone not enter to the OS, if you try to install the factory image same issue, when you enter to the recovery mode with the CWM you can see the 2 SD card the internal one and the external but in the options display like the internal SD card is detected like as an external and when i mount the external SD he detect that one like the internal SD card, I'm not able to enter to the android just to the recovery mode, i use odin to install different kernels and the problem is the same, i install the gingerbread stock OS and the problem is the same.
I think I understand your problem. It has to do with which kernel your using. On some the two sd cards are swapped on others it is correct. There is really not much you can do about it in recovery except try to keep track of which is really which. I suggest making a folder on your internal called "internal" and a folder on the external called "external". Then you'll always know which one your actually in.

He's right. Try flashing something else and see what happens.

welll i'm not able to use the phone, just to connect in the computer with the recovery mode and use to mount usb, but when i do that the systems i connect the phone not detect the external SD, but detect the internal SD when i change the kernel the CWM detect both SD cards, but in the incorrect places, when i install the siyah 3.1 not run the phone i was just able to enter to the download mode, then i use the NEAK, enter to the recovery mode and not detect non of the SD and not let me mount the SD cards when i go to the mount options, i use the rogue sm recovery to reset the settings but the problem persist, then use the sph cwm fixed but the problem is the same, then i install again the gingerbread ( the factory OS ) not pass the galaxy s II screen, but if i connect the cell by usb he enter to the gingerbread,
this is something ready weird!!!!

Thats not weird man, Samsung screws with stuff, AOSP builds attempt to right this. The fact that you cant mount your sdcard to your pc in recovery, doesnt seem that big of a deal, put a file on internal and flash it, how hard is that?
And after going back to stock, a reset in 3e recovery might be required.
Hmmmmm. Try putting another kernel on an external SD card maybe?

not work also.
if i connect the cel to the usb he enter with the gingerbread os, but sometimes shutdown the phone, if some one have any way to make a total reboot the cel because when i try to do that to the internal sd and the external sd not delete the information and also i don't try to delete or format the external and internal card in the computer when i have that one connected because i don't want to screw up more my phone.
Please don't take this the wrong way. But I'm guessing english is not your first language? What you are saying is not making much sense. At least not to me. Is anyone else making sense of it. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's hard to help you when it's hard to understand what your doing or trying to do.

well what is happening is that the internal SD is being detected in the cel and the external and vice versa, while the phone is connected to the computer via USB does get into the operating system, but sometimes goes in that way, that only is possible if I am with the gingerbread installed on the phone, and install different versions of kernels and none detects the internal SD where q is everyone sees the external SD as the primary I formatted both SD and still the problem, I put different fix to return to the state makes the phone but still the same problem ....
if as you say English is not my first language and as I am somewhat accelerated by this problem I have with the phone not devote myself to see if I'm giving me to understand what he said I hope this explanation makes more sense than the above and thank you for support as in any other forum I've read and seen q talk about a similar problem everyone talks about simple things that disabled the internal SD or q does not detect the external and stuff. but an investment of both and therefore it can not install the operating system to separate the kernels mentioned roms or installed from the CWM or from odin.
What rom are using and which kernel.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
the kernel use in this moment is the CWM 5.0.3,
also test with the NEAK and the Siyah 3.1,
the CWM is the only one can see both SD and enter to the recovery, the other 2 not let me enter to the recovery, in this moment i have install the gingerbread stock rom,

So you're trying to use an ics kernel with a gb rom?

no, i now install that kernel now because the system not enter to the recovery mode with the stock kernel.
in this moment the cel have the CWM install because i will try to install the serendipity 9 .
Ok i'm done if I respond to this im gonna say something ridiculous. Lol. Good luck man. I honestly can't understand what he is trying to do it seems he is just randomly flashing hoping it works.

lol ^
Im not sure either.
sdcard location inside CWM doesnt matter.
Put a ROM on either sdcard and flash it, following the instructions on the ROM's Original Post(OP)
End of story.

No kidding. He's obviously not having issues flashing. He keeps flashing different kernels.
Evening and thanks for reading my thread!
I am a new user to Android and just picked up my Galaxy S3 today. I already read some information and decided I wanted to theme my Android device, just like I did with my old iPhone 4. I wanted to install the Android Revolution HD ROM. As per suggested I used the SuperWipe zip first to remove the stock ROM and then wanted to install the new one. I forgot to pick up a external SD card at the shop today, so I thought I'd wipe the phone using SuperWipe, connect it back to the PC and put the 700MB Revolution ROM on the internal memory card and flash it from recovery mode. However, now I can't seem to get my Galaxy S3 connected to the PC at this point.
Is this the result of me being a dummy or am I doing something wrong. I had the intention to pick up a SD card tomorrow, however I'm kinda puzzeled on what to do now.
Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can offer me some advice!
I never use superwipe and never will just because i dont need it,you can wipe your data from recovery and some roms come with superwipe so i dont think its needed.i may be wrong
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Never use superwipe, I know too many people, who have f***ed up their devices with that cr*p..
Just wipe your device normally, with CWM and everything will work fine. I have never used superwipe, and I'm glad I didn't even consider it..
Even if you are using an AROMA ROM, don't in fact NEVER use Super Wipe
Anyways, hope I didn't scare you too much.Just wanted to make you caucious

Hi, personally i've used superwipe on many many occasions without any issues, all it does is re-formats some of the partitions like the /system, /data and others. Thats why you wont be able to boot into you rom again as there is no rom on you phone. As far as i know there are two possible ways(there may be more but i've used one of these methods lots of times.). One is to use an external sd card like you intend to do. Or you can use adb(this is my preferred method). You can find instructions to download and install adb online. Once you have adb you can simply use the "adb push" command to copy the zip file from your pc to you internal sd card, then flash the zip as per the instructions.
First off I want to say that this site is amazing, over the past week I have learned so much off here. So to all the moderators/developers "Here's to you Sirs"
My question involves the Liquid Smooth JB ROM. I love the ROM but Im having some issues. I did a lot of research before I even attempted to root my device and install anything (my wife actually told me not to lol) Anyways I rooted and installed the Clockwork recovery touch. Moved the ROM and Gapps onto my external SD, and installed both. Had no issues. After a few days I went to move some photos over to my SD and now my phone will not recognize my external SD. It doesnt show up in any of the explorer apps I have, nor will Clockwork recognize it. I tried to hook my phone to the computer to see if I could find it and it doesnt show up there either.
What do I need to do to get my phone to recognize an external SD again.
Also my 2nd not so important question is, does the liquidsmooth ROM support 4G LTE? Before I rooted my signal icon would show as either 4G or LTE, now it only shows H+. I did a speed test and it seems like Im getting the same 4G speed its just not showing as 4G. Is this something in the ROM or something with my phone and can it be fixed.
Thx in advance for any info regarding either of these issues.
Not sure bout the first but the second question...ur answer is H+ is the same thing as 4G...just different icon...not sure why it changed on you but its the same

It's a long shot ...but the above link is a complete ICS leak rom for this device.
The source link is older, but several other users have pushed this file and restored function to the sd card.
The image contains the full PIT file structure, baseband etcetera, and will restore the device to complete stock.
Flash counter excluded of course ...but that's easy.
You likely have partition damage in the #4 partition, which houses the other 4.
The device has 5 total, and something causes damage.
I personally think that CWM is doing the damage, but I can't prove it ...yet
If you are willing to take a long shot, then push the file by using Odin.
It should work...but as always....you do this at your own risk.....as STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY....g
I am having this same issue. Except I am using AOKP JB and TWRP recovery. External SD worked fine for about the first month with AOKP. Then at random it started to dismount its self. I would get notifications of a bad or damaged SD card, or unexpected removal of SD card. Reformatted, didn't help.
That lasted a week or 2, then it stopped completely and just like OP, I can not locate my external sd by phone, or computer, its like the slot is empty. That was months ago. I kind of gave up on it.
I will probably be returning to stock and having the device replaced under warranty anyway, due to my USB charging port failing.
P.S. This is the 2nd time I have had a charging port on the note go bad and be replaced under warranty...
If I flash that ICS ROM and it restores the SD card can I then flash back to the JB ROM? I was kinda tired of ICS. I'll keep looking around but I may have to take it back to factory and reset flash counter so I can just get a new one. Would getting a new SD card work?

Test your SD card first, before doing any work on roms.
If you flash the ICS leak, it will take away root, and you will have to push CWM back too the device via Odin.
After that, you can flash any rom you wish.
This leaked build is a full build, and will restore stock function to the device anyway, (minus the flash counter) and is a good test when searching out partition problems etc.
But yes, do the SD card test first....g
Hi folks. I had an unrooted Rezound. I used the HTC Dev site to get it to an unlocked bootloader. I installed the Amon-Ra recovery and used it to flash the Infection JB ROM. Now it boots into the white HTC screen, goes slightly darker white and doesn't move. I can get back into recovery but after some wipes to clear up problems, now I'm stuck. It won't mount the internal or external SD cards. I *can* boot into fastboot but when I try to push a different ROM, I get the message that it doesn't an android info file.
I think I might be okay if I can use flashboot to flash maybe an ICS based ROM but I'm not sure. It seemed the phone originally didn't like the 32 gig SD card in there (one boot prior to the flashing it said damaged SD card). I popped it out, put it in a USB card reader and formatted it to fat32. Recovery threw an error when trying to access the SD card to do the flashing of the Infection ROM so I just flashed it from the copy I had placed on the internal SD. I'm guessing I might have to flash a standard boot.img from flashboot and try things again?.

Try using the usb mount to access sdcard. you may have to reformat one if you have an extra one. Or format it prior to putting it in your Rezound. As long as you can access recovery you are not bricked.

Provided I can gain access to the SD card, what would be my next step? Flash an ICS rom?
When trying to access the internal SD from recovery, I get this error-can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 or mmcblk0p38. Invalid argument. If I try to flash anything from the SD card, it says that it is opening the package, gives another line and then kicks me right back to the recovery menu. From there, trying to pull up the external card leads to a blank directory unless I yank the battery and reseat the card (or potentially just reseating the battery). Does anybody have any ideas?
fixit if you are s-0n
Look around xda, or google and find/download RUU 3.14.605.12, which should be an *.exe executable file.
Use a md5 checksum utility to confirm validity, boot into fastboot, and run this RUU.
It should make everything OK again.
@Napalm
Format the sd card using your recovery.
If you still have it in its current state open the rom's zip file, copy out boot.img, and fastboot flash it. Then attempt booting like normal.
Thanks Michael and hi Snuzz! After doing more searching, I did notice an extra step in one of the roms I used. It mentioned about flashing the boot.img in hboot if S-On was true. For my rezound, yeah it's still S-on for me. When I get back to my main PC, I'll see what I can do. I really hope I can come back from it as I'm really looking fwd to upgrading from my Tbolt. The Rezound has such a nice camera and processor, I'd prefer not to have to go another route.
Oh my god. This is so horribly screwy. The problem all along.....it ws the stupid 32 gig SD card I was using. I put Rage 2.3 on a 16 gig card, tried to flash from that one and it worked perfectly. No need for the RUU. I'm happy I didn't need it because of this warning.
This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off

On the 32 gig card, the zip flash would go by very fast and then basically reboot the recovery. From there, well the thread covers that. As of right now, Rage 2.3 has booted and asking for initial setup info. Since Rage is going to be my first ROM on this device, anybody have any thoughts on it or comments on another they like more?
