I think I stupidly posted this in the General forum, so hopefully I'll have better luck here. Here's what I wrote before:
Hi, I'm trying to unbrick USB on my Atrix using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751265 but every time I try and use the fastboot command 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' I get 'FAILED error:00120000'.
I am really tearing my hair out! failing this, would flashing via fastboot fix this error? I tried reflashing using fastboot with the CM9 ROM I had handy but adb didn't like it (my installation is borked you see, I can get into recovery but can't reflash the ROM 'cause my sc cards can't be read...so I'm in a bit of a vicious circle here).
If anyone can help I would be so grateful.
Which recovery are you using atm?
Hey,
I'm using ROM Racers custom ROM, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
Would that make a difference?
That's a recovery, not a ROM. derp
Just messing with ya. But if you have Romracer's recovery you should be able to mount your storage from within recovery. There should be a "mounts & storage" option in the menu. That should allow your computer to read the card and/or internal as usb storage. Or, if you have a card reader you can put the necessary files on your sd card that way.

Yeah thanks but I know this...Ok, here is my problem: I can't mount the internal or external card in recovery, it comes up with ERROR: can't mount / emmc and Error: can't mount / sdcard . I can't mount either card on the PC either and as described in trying to fix the USB connectivity it comes up with the 0x120000 described above in fastboot. On top of that the installation of my ROM is borked (which was Jokersax's ICS beta but I have several others on file I could use)...so I can't reflash the handset. ALL I can do is get into recovery - and a fat lot of good that is doing me!
On top of all that, the reason I ended up like this seemed to be when I erased the internal memory card from my Mac...and this was out of pure frustration fro the mysterious random reboot issue, for which I'd tried almost everything else. But one step at a time eh?
So if anyone can help I'd be really glad right now...
Do you have a card reader? Have you tried formatting the sd card (either through recovery or through the computer using "mounts & storage")? Do you have another sd card that you can try?
Can you be more specific as well? When exactly are you getting the "error" and have you tried "mount usb storage" option in "mounts & storage"? Do you only have a Mac or do you have access to a Windows computer?

Ok, I cannot mount the sd card in any way, either through recovery or on the PC.* the SD card is fine as it the phone registered the card as empty (and read the empty card fine) until it started refusing to read anything at all.* Mount USB storage option definitely does not work (it was working and then it stopped)
*
The error comes from trying the USB unbrick solution (link in my original post at the top)...in fastboot I am trying 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' and then in red writing the ERROR 0x120000 (or whatever it was, it's above) appears on the screen of the Atrix and in the command line box on the PC (I am using my windows 7 laptop for all this btw, don't want to confuse you with my mentioning of the Mac above).
*
So...I either need a way to flash from Fastboot so I can get a working system again at least AND/OR I need to fix the USB connectivity (so I can mount the internal/external card on my PC) and fix the mounting in the Atrix itself.* If I can fix the mounting issue (both mounting within Recovery and mounting on the PC) I can then reflash (and use my SD cards again).
*
Any ideas?
I would think reflashing a newer recovery fron fastboot might help you with your problem if your current recovery is borked. (CWM 5.8.1.8 maybe?)
Ok, so I have installed the CMW touch recovery over fastboot...and I can now mount the external SD card. I have also managed to erase the external SD card using fastboot (fastboot erase sdcard) but the phone still can't see it. The internal memory is untouchable either through recovery or fastboot

Try a fastboot -w command and flash a new ROM from the external see if it works. It would be easier if we knew what caused you to have this problem...
Right, some good news...I have managed to partition my SD card from recovery (only to 4 gigs though but it's a start...), managed to put my and now I am rebooting as I type...although it's taking a long time to reboot...
Maybe I should do a fastboot -w first

Yeah it's still not booting, even though I installed the rom from recovery.
Thinking back my troubles started when a) I wiped both the internal and external to fat 32 from my Mac and then b) I converted all file systems to ext4 from the advanced menu. Yeah, that may be it...

So...in order to fix this, can I simply reformat from a Linux box?

to be honest... no clue. I really never thought of messing with the partitions like that.
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!

So you got the internal to work.
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.

You can try ruu, it should wipe the phone and install everything factory

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.

Ok, I have been searching for my exact issue for the greater part of today trying to solve my issue and I haven't come across anything so far.
I am on running gingerbread 2.3.4 with the UnOriginal 1.4.6 minimalist edition rom.
Basically, whenever I reboot my phone, it reverts back to its state on Sept. 27. For instance If I send a text, upload some music from my computer to the phone, and take a picture, all of that data will be missing when I reboot. All of the texts I sent, pictures I took, numbers I've added, etc. are gone. I can't put files on my phone anymore because as soon as I take it out of USB storage mode, the files are gone.
Things I have tried:
1. A factory reset / wipe data from the phone's settings menu and from CWM
2. formatting /system, /data, and /cache in the "mounts and storage" menu in CWM
3. formatting the phone from my computer
4. flashing a stock rom and PIT file from Odin
5. flashing a rom from CWM
No matter what I do, it always boots up the same as always with the same boot animation, the same text convos, same address book, pictures, etc.
I can't mount anything in CWM's "mount and storage" menu. It just gives an error: "unable to write to ums lunfile"
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm completely stumped at this point.

Thanks for the quick reply. should I format /emmc? I formatted system, data, and cache and when I rebooted, it still booted up to it's sept. 27th state. Should I format system, data, cache, and emmc and then try to get into download mode for odin? Could it be a faulty internal SD?

Mount storage to your pc and delete everything (make a backup if you want). And just put one rom in there and see if the problem persists after flash

I mounted the phone to my computer via the in phone prompt instead of CWM and deleted everything off of the internal sd card. As soon as I disconnected the phone from usb storage mode, I used the file browser on the phone and all of the files were still there. Wiping and formatting everything and flashing a new rom in CWM yielded no results as well.
This is really strange behavior to me. Any other suggestions?
You're Making this waaaaaaay to complicated. Just flash another rom. Unless you used rom manager to get into recovery. In which case you didn't read enough. But if not yeah just flash a rom.

Alright so when I go into "mounts and storage" in CWM, I can mount/unmount everything except /sdcard and USB storage.
When I try to mount /sdcard it just says: "Error mounting /sdcard"
When I try to mount USB storage, it says: "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
What's up with that?

When it says mount USB storage it means external sd card. How do you have your sd card currently formatted? (fat32)?

Ok, well that explains why I can't mount USB storage as I don't have an external sd card, only the internal one.
I tried to reformat the internal sd card from my computer to fat32 (it was already fat32), but it didn't actually wipe anything. I'l try unchecking "quick format".
I tried wiping and flashing a few more roms, but still nothing changes.
Thanks for all the help so far guys, but I still can't figure out what's going on and why I can't seem to modify data on the sdcard long-term.
Galaxy y Duos bricked phone!
My Galaxy y duos is bricked! It stays on Galaxy Logo, I have already tried to flash stock rom and kernel with odin, but it says "Status 7 Can´t mount system Intallation aborted (invalid argument)" so i flashed the kernel and now says " Status 0 intallation aborted (invalid argument)!! I can´t wipe data/factory or cache too when i do that it says "failed to wipe on......."
It started when i tried to intall a custom rom, them i tried to flash with Odin, but i got the wrong files! after that it got White screen, i flashed with odin again (with t:crying::crying:he correct files) then it stays on galaxy Y LOGO!!
I dont Know what to do anymore! Please HELP!! :crying:

U posted in the wrong q & a.
This forum is for the sgh-i777.
this problem has been solved? or not yet? cause this my problem too. Cant wipe data. The rom and data are still there.
Why did you necro a 2 year old thread? It would be better to post a new thread stating your issues and information.
I do not remember this issue ever being solved. This may be the only person that has posted with an issue like this, as far as I can remember, until you posted.
What are your symptoms exactly; What firmware is on the phone; What can you do with the phone; What have you tried? Give as much information about your phone as you can think of.
For instance, have you tried flashing the full stock distribution with Odin?
How do you perform this step? mounting the device on your pc. I've tried to do this via terminal on the device itself but it can't get to mount the partitions i need to wipe.
I recently tried to switch over to the HTC One Google edition rom. When I installed it boots up and says com.android.phone has stopped working and constantly keeps spamming it. I imagine I flashed something wrong no big deal I thought just reboot back into recovery and flash again. However I can't manage to get back to recovery, I tried to press down and power to access it and that didn't work I've tried both volume keys and power that didn't work. I've tried turning the phone completely off holding down and then power on and that didn't work. I'm not sure what else to try.

Okay so I fixed the first issue, however now I'm having a new problem. I'm trying to mount the internal storage from my recovery because currently I have no OS on the phone because I accidentally deleted all data instead of just the factory data. I have the rom download on my pc but when I go to mount on recovery it make the noises that windows does when a device is plugged in but it doesn't show up on my computer now. How do I mount the internal storage so I can paste my rom into it and then flash it?
There is no mounting the internal storage from recovery, flash a custom recovery that supports adb sideload and use a guide on here to do so...
