Via windows use GOOGLE if you dont know how to format .
You don't actually say you have installed CWM recovery if you have flash it again .
Beginner read the stickied faqs and guides first is easier than reading after you brick your phone .

[Q] Android Revolition HD - i ****ed it up

hey guys
the title of the thread sums it pretty much up.
i had cm9 on my i9300. but i was having trouble with it. when i call somebody i could hear them, but they could not hear me.
so i decided to switch to ARHD.
i followed the guide.
accidently i put super wipe and the rom in the internal sd card.
after that i did the super wipe. then, logically there was no rom in the internal section anymore.
now i cant boot. i tried to put the rom into my external sdcard but it says "E: cant mount /sdcard/
do you have any tips what i should to now?
i have no backups

Read installation instruction bro,Mike 1986 CLEARLY said to put the Rom obligatory in ExtSDCARD because Superwipe script Wipe everything including internalSDCard.

Good for you mate, but next time read carfully what the developer said about installation of his OWN Rom.ok We all learn from mistakes and ur not the first or the last person to do so.
i agree to nhariamine formating the ext. SD card before using it is the first step so your phone will recognize your ext SD card.
Good mate. Did you manage to install arhd now?

yep it runs on my device now. the scrolling in the menues is really smooth but it is having laggs when i try to switch between programms.
furthermore it freezes sometimes. i cant explain why this happens.
i will go back to CM9 probably and try to flash a different modem to fix the voiceproblems.

[Q] Deleting all files from the internal storage

Hi,
after trying a few ROMs, I noticed that in the process of upgrading or restoring to a backup all my GS3 files had been cloned to a folder named "0" on the internal storage.
I decided i want to format it.
How can I do it?
Is it safe to format it (right click on windows > format)?
Will a hard reset do the trick?
Thanks in advance, Alon.
btw, I searched for an answer and all the solutions I could find were inconclusive.
I'm currently using WanamLite rom if it's relevant.

Answer was posted on the XDA portal this week .
Format via CWM recovery .

Hi,
Thanks!
I could not find it on the portal, but i'm guessing it's the "format /sdcard" option.
After formating, will I have to flash a rom via Odin3?
If so, does it have to be the stock version, or will I have the option of rooting and then flashing a rom the normal way?
sorry for the questions,
if there is a manual i'll be happy to get a link, since I couldn't find one.
thank you again!

Stock rom then root then custom rom.
Or put custom rom on ext sd card then root boot to recovery and flash .

sd card not available. cant mount sd card

Hi.. im new to this forum...
please help...
Yesterday I installed a custom rom (IllusionRom-2.5, 4.3) on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Before I had CM10.2, 4.3 installed.
for some reasons i wanted to install my previous ROM again, but now i cant access to my sdcard from CWM(v6.0.3.4). when i select choose zip from sdcard, i get
- 0/
- clockworkmod/
- obb/
- ++++go Back+++++

I cant even restore from a previous backup. I tried to mount sdcard from cwm and it says,
Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!. same error is displaying for sdcard0.
but i can access to both sd cards from laptop..
how can i fix this?
please help me.. :crying:
You're files are in /0 now. Install philz recovery and try again. Or flash a rom from ext SD card.
You could try reading the illusion ROM thread. Its not very long,and a large part of it is discussing exactly this problem. Or you could have read it before flashing,and you wouldn't have this problem to start with.

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.

Thanks for the advice but this isn't the solution for my problem (lol) actually as mentioned above when I flashed this rom it already had my memory card and internal storage joined and in a file explorer it never showed my sdcard as a separate storage but now my phone won't detect my sd card and neither let's me download anything to my internal memory ...I am seriously in a pinch

Interesting. I apologize if I am asking something that you have already stated. Are you trying to download it via USB transfer in the recovery?

So, the recovery mode is not recognizing any form of storage? Or are we talking about the OS?

Ummm =^= ahmmm I don't quite get it but I think it's custom not stock .....I do know whats a firmware but I don't know how to tell if it's stock or custom like if I am running custom ROM then i will have a custom firmware ?(sorry for the trouble my knowledge is not good enough)
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
