So I flashed the latest nightly 9-2-02 and I kept on getting the error in my camera app external device storage needed. I figured the problem was not with my sdcard, but with my internal sdcard folder. When I go to flash via recovery, it says e:/unable to mount internal sd card. Is there anyway to remount this card?
I have Hboot 1.15, s-on. I know some other people have been having this problem, anybody have any ideas?

it may some how have gotten corrupted. update twrp to the latest if you dont have it (2.2.2) and then boot into recovery and do a back up, go to advanced and install htc dumlock and reboot, i dont personally like dumlock but it is the most flexible solution barring a few extra steps, go into apps and launch dumlock, here it will write recovery to boot and then reboot directly into twrp because you technically no longer have a boot, it has been replaced by twrp, then go to advanced again and restore boot and go back to menu, go to wipe select internal, this will reformat it, then do the usual factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, system and then flash cm10, gapps, and reboot, if all goes well you can go ahead and flash any extras you might have had prior
note: with dumlock there is no need to fastboot the kernel, with dumlock in boot it can write directly, the reason this method isnt the most ideal is that you are writing to boot multiple times but like i said i think it is the most flexible for newer users

Thank you for this explanation, but I believe (thanks to a user from the CM10 thread) that it is indeed corrupted like you said. But instead of going through that, I went and mounted my internal drive via TWRP to my computer. So I have a macosx (ugh) and I reformatted it, but it had trouble doing it and it didn't work properly. Normally in windows it would do a much better job as you are able to set it FAT32 etc etc. So when my phone started up, the phone recognized it was a corrupted drive and repaired it itself, and voila, everything is working, I am able to side load apps and actually download things.
well i wrote those directions to give you the best chance at getting it to work, I always prefer a fresh start when possible. my instruction is also non reliant on a computer which to me is also a plus as windows/mac/and linux can interfere with usb. Glad to hear you got it working
Formatting work
I would like to thank everyone who posted, I rebooted my EVO to TWRP recovery, mounted the USB drive and connected to my windows PC. The USB drive popped up and windows asked if I wanted to fix it, I said yes and formatted as fat32 adn after unmounting and rebooting, the sdcard mounted perfectly!
Thanks you!

Have you had any issues with mounting the external?

Hi guys,
My phone started to reboot itself every 5-10 minutes today. I rebooted into recovery and loaded a backup from a week ago. Now it loads and I get Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and it repeats. I never get service.
I've wiped, put on a different ROM, same thing. When I try to wipe internal storage I get an error.
I'm s-off 1.12 hboot
radio 1.02.11.0423_2
I don't know what to do.. Do I have to relock, ruu, then re-root? If so, which RUU?
Any easier fixes?
Thanks
Mount internal storage to pc using twrp, it should say the internal needs to be formatted. You can also try fix permissions and clearing app data for any apps that force close.

thanks but no dice.. i did that and now when i try to wipe in recovery it fails and isnt installing any zips (downloaded 2 new ones).
i get this:
Install /sdcard/stock w goodies.zip
finding update package..
opening update package..
installing update.
e: error in /sdcard/stock with... zip
above that i see
Using rm -rf of 'dev/block/mmcblk1p1'
e:tw_format_rmfr: unable to locate volume for device "dev/block/mmcblk1
and
e:tw_format_rmfr: unable to locate volume for device "dev/block/mmcblk0
that seems bad
phone hosed? should i try to ruu? i dont want to lose root so im not sure which one to use or what process
No no, mount storage to pc. Go to mount select internal card and hit mount storage and plug it into pc, and it will read as a flash drive. It will recognize it as a corrupt card and tell you that it needs to be formatted. Twrp will not recognize corrupted cards.

I just formatted again on both. Then I added a zip from my PC and it flashed without failing. It booted so we are good. Not sure why didnt work first time around or what caused it in first place.
Think it could have caused the reboots every few mintues earlier today? I hope thats fixed.. otherwise i got a phone dying lol.
THanks again!
It may have just been something simple like a kernel problem. Sometimes everything flashes and you boot android but it doesn't agree with the kernel and it reboots. Sometimes it's because something has been corrupted. Make back ups, keep a copy on pc and it would be handy to keep a wipe script in case you ever have to start over. It's easier to just flash a wipe script and then flash a rom
You should try getting a new sd. I've seen this happen with sd's that are starting to fail. Not saying this is your issue but its something to look into.
\Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
I know there are a couple of other threads out there, but I want to make sure I get the right solution for my problem...
Hboot 1.12
S-ON
I've been running SuperLTE 2.0 for a few weeks, and when i plugged into the charger last night it started bootlooping. In TWRP I cleared both caches, but I am unable to mount the internal SD CARD and bootloops continued. I am able to mount the external SD just fine...
I've made no other changes while I ponder a solution. Looking at other threads, should I try reformatting the SD somehow, run an RUU (which one? never done that...), or run one of the twrp advanced menu apps like dumloc?
Solved, see third reply...
Well at least your not alone. I am running Stock rom with root, Hboot 1.12, and S-off (LazyPanda). On saturday my phone froze up, then rebooted. It immediately started boot looping and i could not get it back. Wiped cache, dalvik, nothing worked except a factory reset. I did make a backup of it to try and fix it but needed the phone back up ASAP. If anyone knows what is going on please help us.
Tried this three times and it did not work:
1. Remove external sd card
2. Boot into bootloader then recovery
3. Mount USB (to internal SD)
4. Windows recognized unformatted drive so I reformatted to fat32
5. Copied SuperLTE rom to SD card
5. Restarted and reinstalled ROM with full wipe
6. Boot to rom, everything seems to work
7. Shut down, insert external SD CARD, power on
8. Bootloops
looks like something besides the internal sd is FUBAR perhaps... The data seems to be good on the internal and external, so I'm left scratching my head
I think I finally fixed it by running the RUU:
(RUU_JEWEL_CLICS_40_S_Sprint_WWE-2.13.651.1_Radio_1.12.11.0809_NV_SPCS-2.45_003_release_277028_signed.exe)
I was reticent to do this because I had flashed radios and didn't want to upgrade my hboot, but it turns out that it was easy and didn't matter. Rerooting was via the stickied method instead of the old 1-click for 1.12 hboots, but that was easy enough.
1. Download the RUU
2. adb, fastboot oem lock
3. run RUU from fastboot usb
4. Reboot, then root via stickied post
5. Nandroid backup the stock rom for posterity
6. wiped, wiped, wiped til there were no brown stains
7. Changed format in twrp to rm-rf because on the superlte insructions it says to do so because of ext4 optimizations
8. wiped again
9. flashed superlte via the aroma installer
10. Yay
I should have bit the bullet and done the RUU yesterday... Everything is now up to date on the firmware side and re-rooting was easy. Hopefully it works good lasts long time.
Hi all, I built my sdcard per: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
My kids have two NT's. With two 16GB Sdcards, one class4 the other class 10. I know class4 is recommended, but one poster in forums said he's taken images of CM built on class4's and applied this image to class 10's in several cases and has had no problems. So I thought what the heck, can't hurt to try, so that's what I did (using Winimage). It booted fine 5 or 6 times for me, and I installed several APK's of games from Humble Bundle . I turned over the Nook to my little girl and she brought it back to me later showing she gets errors on boot, after swiping the lock symbol to unlock it. One is "Unfortunately, Talk has stopped". If you click OK on this, you get ""Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped". Clicking OK on this does nothing, it keeps popping up indefinitely. I don't know if the sdcard is hot pluggable (can be removed with power to the tablet), but she did admit to doing this. So I'm wondering if some corruption occurred to the CM build on the sdcard. Has anyone seen these errors? I could reflash it from the image I made off the class 4, but want to understand what happened so we don't run into it again. The funny thing is, I don't recall the startup wizard off the 1st class4 card prompting me with several screens regarding Google crap like it did on the 2nd card which was flashed from the same image. That was even after telling it I had no Google acct hoping it would leave me alone.
can anyone explain the boot menu you get when you press the N button? (I'm not including the faded selections) I'm wondering especially about the recovery options. Here's my menu:
INT BOOT ( I assume will boot to B&N native OS?)
INT RECOVERY ?
SDC RECOVERY ?
SDC BOOT (Iassume, boot to CM10 off sdcard?)
SDC ALTBOOT ?
START FASTBOOT ?

Yes,
internal boot - boots Rom in emmc
Internal recovery - recovery in emmc
Sdcard boot - boots your sdcard Rom.
Sdcard recovery - boots sd card recovery ( keep recovery.img in root of sdcard for it to load recovery)
Sdcard altboot - alternate recovery ( not necessary, unless you want both cwm and twrp at same time)
Fastboot - fastboot mode , fastboot commands to flash .img file etc with this method .
As for your problem, try entering recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache partition (I've done this on emmc version, never tried sdcard version of any Rom) this may solve the issue. If not try factory reset.
And removing sdcard while device is switched on is called hot swapping , hot plug is a CPU governor. Not sure if sdcard roms are hot swappable, but I think not.

Thanks.
emmc=internal nook memory I assume?
Oh, and...just to clarify, I haven't modified (rooted) my tablet. (you mention factory reset). I should mention that with the sdcard out, it boots B&N OS just fine.
And the part you say about wiping the two caches, so I should go into SD Card Recovery to do that? Once you get into it, you have various choices like the ones you mention? (I'd read that this choice was to backup your NT to sdcard). And please, I want to be very, very careful not to wipe out the B&N stock OS, so please, any detailed instructions you can give so I don't make that mistake, I'd greatly appreciate it. (I see so many posts on these forums about people bricking their Nook tablets it worries me.)

Um I don't know much about how it works for sdcard Rom. I've always only used emmc version. I guess if you were to enter recovery, it would access the stock cache partition by default , and we aren't trying to clear that.
Try this - use titanium backup (only talking about your sdcard Rom here, nothing to do with your stock) and in options, you may be able to wipe your cache or dalvik cache.
Or,
boot into your sdcard Rom, in settings > backup and restore > factory reset. This will delete all user data and return Rom to original Cm10 that you flashed on sdcard.
Or if it's only google talk and trebuchet launcher issue, install a new launcher (go launcher, adw etc) , then use titanium backup to uninstall trebuchet and talk.
Sent from my ST27i
From what I see, titanium backup is an android app. If I can't boot to Android (Trebuchet error loops as I said) I don't know how I can install this to do anything? Nor can I install another launcher or go into Settings as the error doesn't let you get any further.
I guess if there was a way to browse files/folders on the sdcard partitions on the sd to manually delete the cache files.....but if they're linux partitions (ext3 or4) you can't do that under windows...

In cwm, enter mounts and backup, then (if) you see /sdcard /cache, mount that and format that ONLY.
Do not format anything else as some options can brick device (Rom, bootdata, factory etc)
Wiping cache is safe (99%)
Again, I have never used sdcard Rom so I don't know what will show up in your recovery. But if you see something like sdcard cache, it can be cleared. If it doesn't specify sdcard, let us assume it refers to stock emmc.

I plug sdcard into PC card reader and the FAT partition has 0 bytes free. So, appears it ran out of space. I saw your comment about 600MB space being needed. So I'm redoing the partitions now.

Why backing up now when it's not working? Fix your issue, then make a backup. So the next time there's a problem you can restore to working condition.

Well, backing up, I think, was a good suggestion by Digimax. So I'm glad I did it. and now i know how to do it for future. Just in case anything EVER goes wrong, I'll always have that image now on my pc. Bad thing was, apparently B&N nook OS apparently keeps lots of APKs around after installing them. I had to make my 1st fat32 partition over 2GB for the entire backup to process without running out of space. backup size=1.6gb
I ran into lost chains - convert to cluster msgs trying to delete the folder of the first failed backup, but it never would delete even after a chkdsk, so I formatted the card and put the original image back onto it, adjusted the partitions, and then ran into a new probem.....the Cyanomod spinning logo never stopping spinning so it won't boot up. So I give up. I don't know if it's that it's a class 10 card that all these problems are happening. barring any other suggestions, I guess I'll make sure the other NT we have runs stable for a few weeks and if so I'll order another class 4 like that one has.

I don't know about your bootloop issue, but I don't think it's a sdcard class issue.
Anyhow, now that you have stock backup, aren't you going to consider flashing cm10 internally? Do you actually use stock?
Sent from my ST27i
I'm a little leery of it, at least while it's under warranty. I don't know how reliable recovery is.? Besides, my daughter wasn't thrilled with it being down for several days with me fussing with it and asked if she could have her "B&N boot" back I admit It is a bit of a pain having to pull it out of it's case, lift the flap, pop-in or out the sdcard to switch between them. (& also to have to remember to always turn it off b4 removing/inserting)
I may do it in the future though. Thanks for the help
FWIW, you don't have to actually remove the card to boot into stock. Just reboot, hold "n" to get into Cyaonoboot menu and choos "int boot" or something like that, and it will boot to stock with the sd-card still inserted.
Great, thanks for that tip!
Card died
I think many of these symptoms could have been caused by a dying card. It did have a corruption error once, and then it finally completely died. Just for anyone else that runs into these.

FWIW, /cache does not need to be backed up, which should help reduce the backup space requirement.
Before I make things worse, can someone let me know what did I do / doing wrong. I was on Sinister v8, trying to update to v11 of the same rom, using TWRP 2.3.1.0, i did a full full wipe,(Factory, System, Ex Storage, Internal Storage), copied new files to sdcard, reboot into recovery, Install zip (v11) from SD card, reboot....bootloop.
Then I went to try it again, remembering that i may need to extract boot.img and use fastboot but couldn't even access the filesystem. In TWRP I see a bunch of
Code:
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder

I know the mount menu, but what do you click after that, you just plug in and it turns on mount? Sorry i don't have the device in front of me, only a Nexus 4 as of now, but I'm not able to mount with N4, might be a different deal with the evo lte.
I had this same issue a few weeks back from Factory Reseting within the bootloader. I connected the phone to a USB port, then booted into TWRP and mounted the internal sd card. Right clicked the drive from within Windows then formatted it. I unmounted then rebooted back into TWRP and the SD card was mounted. If when trying to flash a ROM after this you get a Unable to mount cache message, try doing a Factory Reset from within TWRP.

You plug your phone in to your PC and select "Mount", then select which storage you'd like to mount.
still can't get to work
Still can't mount /sdcard. I can get into TRWP I have gone into Windows (I am on a MAC) and formatted the drive (is FAT32 the correct way?) When I try mounting the partitions, I can't select SD-ext nor Internal, is this why I can't fix this? I was able to send boot.img through ADB, just testing if this works. I could use some help before I have to turn this over to Sprint and pay for a replacement. I tried Chris V's solution but that didn't do anything. can't factory resest in TWRP cause can't load the /sdcard.

i have the same problem but, can you make your fix more precise. i mean,
1. what did you mount via twrp? are those cache, data, eemc, system, sdcard, sd-ext? cause i can't mount them all except cache, i can't even click the box with X.
2. i've also reformatted my drive (sdcard) through my windows 7 and make it to exfat.
and all the time i do the wipe of everything that have to be wipe it always says: factory reset failed!

A better bet would be to post in the forum for your particular device. I'm not familiar with the Flare S3 Octa, but basically the steps should be the same. What you want to mount is the "System" and/or the "SD Card". You can transfer to those partitions. Another good rule of thumb is to make sure you're using the latest recovery available. When all else fails, you may need to do a complete reset via an RUU.

Hi,
im quite new to rooting and custom roms.
I have rooted (ALLINONE) my device with the S3 ToolKit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488)
My device had stock rom and was encrypted. I performed a factory reset from the stock rom (after a nandroid backup from the toolkit.
But the phone failed and booted into TWRP. When i try to wipe Dalvik Cache it sais failed..
I get "cannot mount internal storage" in the logs.
What sould i do?
I want to install the Paranoid Android ROM. But for now, whatever goes. Is there always an possibility to fix the phone as long as i get into the TWRP menu, or can it be permanently bricked now?
Download mode yes no ???
jje
Yes im am able to open download mode. thanks for your quick reply
Could i try to install a ROM from a external card without wiping dalvik? I was able to wipe "cache", but not factory reset or dalvik. havent tried anything else yet.
To my knowledge, you can only access encrypted data with the instance of the ROM you encrypted it with.
I would expect you'd have to decrypt fully before wiping and flashing.
I may be wrong but there is a chance there's nothing you can do to get the data back :/
Everything possibly needs to be formatted.
I just took "format data" - it worked just to confirm i was on the right track, i tried dalvik again - it worked! OH YES. going forward
Whatever doesnt kill your phone makes you stronger, or something But what should i do now..?

I want to flash the Paranoid Android ROM.
I have downloaded the ROM + gapps from as stated in this link: (remote the [DOT] and replace it with a real dot) tothemobile[DOT]com/install-paranoidandroid-4-2-2-jelly-bean-custom-rom-on-galaxy-s3
but im not sure what steps i should do now. The toolkit dosnt have a feature covering my situation as far as i can see (a formatted phone), since the toolkit want me to boot it as normal to start the flash procedure - if i havent misunderstood this totally

You don't really need the toolkit. Plus, it's really good to learn how to do things manually, in case you get in situations like this.
Sol exactly what state is the phone in?
What recovery has the phone got?
Does the phone now boot?
Is it wiped and internal storage works?
Thanks for your help - really appreciate it
Im not sure how i can describe the phones state more than i have now used "format data" in the TWRP recovery screen, the device is listing in the toolkit and im able to go into download mode. I dont have an external card for the phone now, but if its critical for the ongoing progress, ill get a hold of one.
EDIT:
When i hit "Install" in TWRP i am able to browse the internal memory. I can see:
cache
data
dev
efs
etc
external_sd
extSdCard
preload
proc
res
root
sbin
sdcard
sys
system
tmp

Have a read of the "sticky roll-up thread" in general where there are guides for flashing etc
im not familiar with twrp. usually android sees /extSdCard as your removable sd. But recoveries usually use external_sd for the same location.
Essentially you put the zip on your sd and install via recovery. Have a look through those guides. I cant really help withy your recovery though as i dont know it.
I believe that the case is resloved!
To users experiencing that wipes/factory reset fails on a device that have/had encrypted data, you must "format data" and then mount a SD card with the desired ROM and gapps. If you dont have the option of a external SD - i dont know what you have to do - but im sure the internet do
