Internal SD card will no longer mount. - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Need some help getting my internal SD card to mount. Without it the phone is useless.
Can someone run the following command in terminal so I can try something to fix it?
busybox mount
then tell me where the sdcard0 is mounted:
For example:
/dev/block/void/179:65 on /storage/sdcard1
Just need the numbers.
Thanks!

I'm getting 179:38

The internal SD card will not mount. I cannot mount it under CWM either. Which means I cannot download any roms and flash either and RUU will not work.

Mount with in recovery or mount to PC because in a lot of cases you can mount to PC and reformat also good on you for knowing to check with busy box but just because address is screwed up doesn't mean you need a new phone. A few people have damaged internal and have been fine

I cannot get it to mount in recovery. When I try I get Error mounting /internal_sdcard!

Well you could try twrp recovery since its best suited for our phones. Every one who had corrupted internal so far has been able to mount to pc and reformat

I tried to completely wipe and flash the latest version of Stock w/ Goodies 2.15 and, after rebooting found that, at the top, it said "Damaged Internal Storage" so I tried to format it by going into TWRP and mounting the internal storage, but it won't mount. Really need help on fixing it

You tried formatting in TWRP or from your pc? The latter should work, once you mount it in Windows you should get a prompt to format.

I tried to format the internal storage through TWRP but it kept saying "failed" and when I would connect it to my PC through TWRP and try to mount it it won't let me
I don't suppose you have an adapter that you can plug it into and use in a card reader do you? If not, you may consider picking one up, they're pretty cheap. That's assuming you have access to a computer with a card reader of course...

[Q] not mounting internal SD, can't boot into ROM

Hey everyone. About a week ago my Rezound was having issues and wasn't running well. It wasn't all that unusual, so I just decided to reboot. From then on it hasn't been able to load the ROM.
I went into my recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.0) to format \cache and \dalvik, and try again, but it cannot mount either partition. In fact, it can't mount any partition on the internal SD including \system, so I cannot reflash a ROM.
What works: bootloader, recovery, fastboot. mounting external SD
What doesn't work: I tried reflashing boot.img like Snuzzo recommended in some threads, but no dice. I tried erasing the partitions using fastboot, but I could only erase the cache partition and nothing else.
Phone:
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.28.0000
RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/23.10.-124r
OpenDSP-v14.6.0.7708.00.0507
ROM: PACMAN, though I'm not sure it's important.
What am I missing? This seems to be a common problem, but I haven't seen a solution that works for this case.

Hey, thanks for the quick response. I just tried partitioning and reformatting in TWRP.
"Failed
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/emmc' "
The list goes on. I tried both ext3 and ext4. Same results.

in wipe... try wiping the internal memory and plug it in the computer using the mount in twrp make sure at the top of twrp the main directory its looking at is either emmc or sdcard0 or the 10 some odd gb's....in windows is the space readable in start menu>control panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Manaement> Storage> Disk management...if so repartition and format it there
I tried to wipe internal SD in TWRP, but I get the same failure to mount those partitions. Once it can't mount them, it doesn't even let me select them for mounting to USB. It behaves like they doesn't exist.
That said, I haven't tried to use the disk management utility in Windows yet. Something was detected, as indicated by that sound Windows makes when you plug something in, but it never pulled up the autorun prompt. Maybe the partition really can be initialized in windows.
Unfortunately, when I plugged in my phone my computer turned off, making that power loss cutoff sound we all dread, and hasn't turned on since. I think something blew on the motherboard.
Sigh, it's been a hell of a week. I have to put this on hold for a while. I'll get back to it as soon as I'm up and running again. Thanks for the help in the meantime.

thats never happenned to me when plugging in a usb device. good advice...if its a tower unplug from power source for 15 minutes...if its a laptop unplug and pull battery for 15 minutes....this tells me your usb port or the cord you are using is bad though as something cased a short
Yeah, I unplugged and let it sit overnight. No dice, feels like a total loss. I think the issue might be that I accidentally used the nexus 7 cable, which I have a sneaky suspicion uses a different charging mechanism than usual.

Since you're s-off, I'd just RUU the phone at this point, it resets all the partitions and stuff.
Make a back up of your internal SD if you can, it gets wiped.
Also you can back the rom up to your external SD, RUU, re-install your recovery and restore your rom when you're done. There is also a zip to update the firmware floating around if you want to get back to the latest hboot/radios.

Try the mirrors there, at least one should still be active.

You don't need a PC to install a RUU (well other then to get the zip file on the SD Card).

You can tell Android Police they labeled it wrong then - [Exclusive Download] Full RUU Build 4.03.605.2 For The HTC Rezound
It's a PH98IMG.zip they listed, not an exe. As far as I've seen, an exe has never been released. It returns everything to stock on the phone, can't hurt to try it.
OP - Can you mount external SD in TWRP or have an external micro sd reader? If so give this a try.

he can mount external but as stated he cant boot into the rom....so he cant download from phone or pc right now as far as the info he messaged me...what android police may have done is taken the update out of the ruu.exe and made a ph98img out of it...but i can assure you an ruu "ROM Update Utility" or something in that manner is a program used to flash the phone to an earlier, or newer, stock rom while also completely reformating and wiping the phone from a much deeper internal level

If he can mount external and get into the bootloader, he's good to go...
When people in the Rezound section are referring to RUUing their phones, they are referring to what I posted, there is no actual executable RUU in the wild for this phone. I know it's supposed to be an exe, this is all we've got and it does reformat everything on the phone. I've has to use it to fix my internal storage in the past when CM roms were hosing it up.
It can't hurt to try it before the OP has to go through the trouble of shipping his phone...

My phone won't mount the internal memory!

My phone came broken, it wouldn't make phone calls. I tried a bunch of different roms and none of them worked. Now I can't even boot into a rom and it just hangs at the splash screen of whatever rom I flash. In Twrp is says that it cant mount anything in the internal memory card pretty much.

If TWRP can't find it or fix it, then you will probably have to be S-OFF and RUU back to stock.

Is there really no other way? At this point I feel like just not having a phone. I have been more than a day now with a bricked phone. It just doesn't seem worth it anymore. I can't get s-off because I need to be on a stock rom to do so. I can't install a stock rom because everyone I download doesn't work.

at the bottom of the selections under the "Mount" tab in TWRP do you get area that says Micro sd or EMMC and storage space size
still having problem??
"It won't let me select the internal sd but it lets me select everything else."
If you are unlocked or S-0ff and still having this issue, I would suggest installing Amon-Ra recovery
via PH98IMG.zip.
Start recovery, choose USB-MS toggle, connect to Windows machine,
choose toggle internal SD, then format it. could do the external storage to format as well.
Now both should be visible and ready to take your ROM flash or nandroid restore.

Can't mount internal storage or sd card

Well hello first of all this is my first time posting and sorry if it's the wrong place
So well you see I have Lenovo A516 and I had a custom lollipop ROM installed in it and my sdcard and internal storage was already linked in this ROM so I was enjoying myself until it got bricked by itself so I went into twrp recovery and wiped everything too flash ROM but it wouldn't flash because my sdcard isn't getting detected and I get following errors
E: can't mount sdcard
E: can't mount internal storage
E:can't mount sdcard while loading GUI (something like that)
And yes I have read other threads about it but my problem isn't the same ....I removed my sd card yet I still get these errors and I can't download anything out of market like songs from browser or anything ..I will check my card if it's damaged but still I shouldn't get errors after removing it which I do get so plz help me ...I thought it might be a rom so I flashed allegro ROM using PC and a flash tool but still the problem exists

This is an issue that happens on multiple devices. Happened to me on some of my older phones. I always found that it was much more effective to store the rom .zip file on your internal storage rather than your SD card.

Update: my sdcard was the which was corrupted ....well actually not corrupted more like breasted by the over clocked processor's heat so anyway even if the sd card isn't avaiable why cant my internal storage be accessed ? Any help on that

Messed up my device. Need one file please.

Hello, I accidentially formated something I shouldn't and need one file to fix it, could someone upload their /etc/recovery.fstab file?
Thanks!
No one can pull this file?
It's really simple lol, I'm not asking for a lot.
I don't have such a file in my etc location

I think you can only acess it from recovery.
Thanks anyway for trying.
If anyone is wondering I formatted EVERYTHING on my devices and managed to fix it by flashing a full stock rom, but it messed up my microsd.
I can access it just fine if I boot the device from withing the device or mtp, or plug the microsd directly on my pc, but TWRP just doesn't see my sd card no matter what I do.
My guess is the mount points got messed up.
If anyone has any idea it'd be great!
Seems like I may not need that file after all but something like this:

I used your file but seems like I need the main fstab file of kenzo, I don't even know if I'm correct.
With your file recovey shows the microsd card as 0mb and I can't mount it.
So I must have damaged something else.
Does kenzo have a vold.fstab file in /etc directory?
Mine doesn't.

I did just that, but that didn't help.
So it must be a phone wide issue.
I most likely deleted the mounting file, fstab I think it's called.

Fastboot ROM usually fixes such issues. If you can atleast see the external SD card in twrp as 0 mb, then there's some tutorials to fix that.

I fastbooted the latest beta I had 8.11.15, but that didn't fix it.
I can see the sd card once I'm booted but not on TWRP.
TWRP shows the sd card as 0mb like you said and I can't mount it.
Would you be kind enough to point me to one of those aforementioned tutorials you talked about?
Thanks.
I am not finding that. It was something related to formatting of the SD card from TWRP itself.
