Okay, so I am s-off, and have TWRP recovery. I was trying to use the superwipe.zip, and it formatted and then I tried to flash CleanROM, then it would only boot into the bootloader. I then tried to flash ViperROM, and was able to get it to flash, and boot. So I rebooted and tried to rewipe and flash CleanROM again. Somewhere in the midst of all this it started telling me it couldn't mount /system, /data. I'm guessing corrupted partitions. Does anyone know if I can format them from fastboot or something else I could try? I can get into bootloader and recovery. Anyhelp would be graet.

you should be able to format them from recovery.

They aren't even mountable from recovery.
I don't trust super wipe zips because of things like that.. wait... Did you ever flash CWM?

You can wipe the system and stuff and you recovery. This should help. If you do put the roms on your device put them on the phone memory and not the external memory source. Tell me if this works.

I did fix the problem, but thanks. It was as you said. I read somewhere that apparently md5's and potentially files could corrupted in twrp while dealing with the ext_sd.

So I just got this phone early today, have it rooted and unlocked etc. now I just need to flash my first custom rom.
I loaded up Alien 2 onto an SD card, rebooted into recovery through CWM, ran a backup etc. from recovery, I wasn't able to see my sd card for some reason. This was after I wiped my data of course.
So I try to restore my backup, and it can't mount /data for whatever reason. I rebooted the phone and my old rom was still there and in working order.
What did I do wrong? I moved the rom into internal storage so I'll try that next time. Will /data screw me over though?

You'll need to unlock the bootloader then fastboot flash Tenfar's custom CWM recovery image from the development section. The recovery in ROM Manager is broken for wiping data and so I assume other things aswell.
Hope this helps

In Tenfar's CWM thread someone made a .zip file of his recovery so it can be flashed using ROM Manager - no need for fastboot now.

I have a phone that is refusing to cooperate. It's probably because I suck at Android.
I'm trying to get ANYTHING on this phone, but it just won't do it. I have fastboot up and running, and flashed CWM. I used ADB to sideload Cyanogen, and rebooted to the HTC logo looping.
Thing is, CMW 10.1, TWRP 2.4.3 and 2.4.0 cannot mount the SDcard, system partition, data, or cache. I earlier flashed the kernel to the Blade kernel, and flashed back to stock thinking this was the issue.
The main issue: get those partitions mounting, then get a rom on.
BTW, if anyone lives in Victoria, BC, I will pay you to get this thing off the ground with all features working.
AW: Can't mount partitions...?
there is nothing to mount
its a MTP device.
Which phone version did you own? International or AT&T / TELUS?
Have a look here and read Q6.

Well, majority of the tutorials that I'm looking at describe flashing from sdcard, etc. Which I cannot do.
AW: Can't mount partitions...?
yes i know, but there is no physical sdcard.
only a partition with the "sdcard" folder "data/media"
I'm having the same problem with my HOX+ (India), the only solution i found is to go for a factory RUU. But no ruu is avilable for my phone
Hope u'll find for yours..
Had the same problem. Try first flashing original recovery. Erase cache. Boot system. Do a factory reset from within booted rom. Then bootloader: Erase cache. Reflash recovery (custom). Erase cache. This did the trick for me.
.... Sorry just realized you can't boot. Did you flash the apropriate Blade kernel for AOSP? However, best would be RUU

I have a DNA and while trying to restore to a previous backup I made in an attempt to restore to a stock rom, I ended up wiping my system from TWRP's wipe screen. Now i'm stuck in a boot loop and despite adb pushing a rom over to try to flash and recover to it, I'm pretty sure all of my files are gone and i'm screwed. Help?

You should still be able to get into the bootloader by holding volume down and power or by adb reboot recovery. Then just adb push the rom to somewhere like /data(just because I know it exists) and flash the rom.

I can get to TWRP's recovery screen, and push the rom to /data, but when I try to flash and install I get error messages saying it failed because it's unable to mount /storage or /data

make sure they are mounted in the twrp mount screen. You may have to do a full wipe of them too.

It worked! Thank you guys so much for your help haha
So I am S-On, running CM 10.1.3 stable.
I was on OTA 3.16.651.3 with 2.09 hboot when I successfully unlocked my bootloader using HTCDev unlock and installed TWRP and SU using BigDaddy619's kit.
I wanted to try out CM 10.1.3 stable ROM. I was able to transfer the zip via usb to the Internal SD, then Installed inside TWRP. I then realized I needed to do the boot.img kernel flash using fastboot. I did this, and the phone booted up!
I have tried CM for the last 3 days, and like some aspects, but I really want GPS and Bluetooth to work.
So I tried to flash back to zhaus's stock ROM. The problem is I no longer have an internal SD mounted, and the phone won't let me download files. I can not for the life of me figure out how to remount the internal SD so I can download to it. Plus, the phone won't allow me to fastboot update or push the file to the phone using ADB. It's weird, since fastboot works but errors, but ADB doesn't even find my device.
Another odd thing is when I enter TWRP and try to do a factory reset/wipe, it always says FAILED.
I am super confused on how to proceed in switching back to a stock ROM. Hoping someone can throw me a life preserver.
You need to format your internal storage. To do this, boot into recovery and connect your phone to your PC. Select the 'Mount' option, then select your internal storage. You should then be prompted to format your storage on your computer.
Also, when wiping with TWRP, choose the advanced wipe option and select Dalvik cache, cache, data & system.
GPS should be working on that build of CM. You may need to try the GPS fix from a Sense ROM before dismissing the issue as GPS simply not working.

I'm confused, because both of those things work fine on CM10.1. Methinks you should S-OFF to avoid these types of issues going forward . . . .

I don't think I properly installed CM 10.1. I initially tried to flash cm-10.1.3-jewel inside TWRP, BEFORE flashing the kernel with the extracted boot.img in fastboot. I never tried to re-flash the cm-10.1.3-jewel zip after flashing the kernel.
My second mistake was selecting factory reset in the bootloader, which screwed up the Internal SD mount.
Thank you guys for the replies.

It's best to avoid a factory reset from the bootloader. Anything you do as far as wiping should be done from recovery. Don't sweat it, though, you aren't the first person who has done it and you surely won't be the last

Here's my situation--I had been running MeanBean for a while and decided to try Kush's KK build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518211&highlight=loop). I flashed the recovery he linked to, then installed the rom and gapps he linked to. TWRP said everything went successfully. But, when I reboot, the phone just hung at the HTC splash screen. I tried flashing again, downloading fresh and flashing again, wiping the cache, etc. Nothing worked.
So, I decided to go back to my last nandroid of MeanBean. But, after TWRP "successfully" recovered to the latest nandroid, I got stuck in a boot loop. The phone gets through the first part of the boot animation, then freezes and reboots. I tried installing a fresh version of MeanBean, flashing back to TWRP 2.6.3, but nothing has eliminated the boot loop.
I'm s-off and I've never gotten stuck like this before. Anyone have any thoughts?
Reboot to the bootloader and run the command "fastboot erase cache" from a command prompt, then try a fresh install. Are you sure you're S-off?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Thanks for the suggestion. I erased the cache from fastboot and did a fresh install of MeanBean. No luck--still in the same boot loop.

Have you tried fastboot flashing the boot image from the rom? You shouldn't need to if you're s-off but couldn't hurt if you're still getting boot loops.
Sent from my EVO LTE
Thanks, Fin. I tried fastboot flashing to boot.img separately (which shouldn't be necessary with s-off) after a fresh install, and I'm still in the boot loop. Any other ideas?
Go to recovery, do a full system wipe (data, system, Dalvik & cache) and re-flash the ROM after a fresh download. Really, though, you shouldn't have to wipe cache, since it's under /data.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Okay, did a full wipe, got a fresh download and installed. Still in the same boot loop. I also tried flashing TWRP fresh again. Any other ideas or am I bricked?

What ROM are you trying to flash at this point, and also, which recovery are you using, the one posted in Deck's OP, or one from the TWRP website? If you're trying to flash a 4.4 ROM, use the recovery posted in Deck's OP. If you're trying to flash a different ROM, use the regular TWRP recovery.

Trying to flash MeanBean, which is what I've been using previously. I flashed the regular 2.6.3 Jewel TWRP.
It sounds to me like you have the same problem I did. When in recovery and you wipe caches does it say failed? Look into your internal sdcard and if it is empty then it has been erased and corrupted. If so remove your sd card and plug your phone into your pc and mount usb. If it says the card needs to re-format then that is your problem. Re-format your internal sdcard and replace your external sd-card. Flash meanbean and reboot.

Hmm, don't think that's it. I've been able to mount internal storage and wipe the cache, etc. just fine.
I'm at a loss at this point as to what the problem might be. If you shoot me a PM I have one last option for you.
