Hi there. I have a few questions // concerns.
First off, I just went from Scott's ROM to the (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ RAGE ROM found here. I followed the instructions on how to install as I'm S-ON (3x wipe all, flash rom, hboot image.boot, etc.) and everything was working great. Now it is telling me that my SD card is damaged -- click to reformat. I did that and it still had the error. I attached the device to my computer as a disc drive and I noticed I ONLY saw the SD card (no HTC Internal storage like I used to on Scotts).
I did what any logical man would do -- I removed the SD card and restarted the phone. The phone still says that the SD card is damage...
What gives?
Astro//ES Explorer said emmc was empty -- when I went to write a folder to it it didn't allow me.
I'm hoping this is something easy to fix/explain. Please help me out if you can.
When I go in to Recovery and hit USB-MS and toggle internal SD card (while the device is plugged in to my computer) I can see the contents of HTC Storage where I couldn't before.
But there's no way to keep this active, is there? Recovery only says press power to disable and return to menu and that's the only button that works.

There is. Once you have that mounted, and after you've backed up that data to your PC, use the PC to format the drive you mounted to FAT32. That should fix the problem.

Sorry to hear that. At this point all you can do is flash back to sense to fix the mount issue. Then try aosp again

It's NP -- flashing back to sense is easy, but how do you fix the mount issue?
it sounds like a firmware issues. did you go from GB to ICS?
Actually Neo is right. I had the same issue on that rom. Flashing back to a sense rom then going into recovery mounting usb formatting as fat32, then unmount, wipe everything basically giving me a fresh start then reflashing a AOSP fixed that issue for me
I had the same issue. Check out this thread:

I skimmed through the general thread and FAQ and couldn't find anything on this, so I figured I'd post this!
I didn't have a smaller SD card and figured nothing bad could happen, so just used my 32GB SD card and it boinked out. Thought it was done for...until today! Here's how I got it to work.
1. Make sure you have your SD card in your phone.
2. Boot into your recovery (I used TWRP and haven't tested this on Amon Ra.)
3. Mount your USB storage and go to "My Computer" to view your storage drives.
4. Your SD card should pop up as a Removable Disk that has no info. Simply format the drive, reboot into your ROM, and bam! Fully working SD card
If anyone can test this in Amon Ra and let me know if it worked, be much appreciated, thanks!
easiest way is this:
do your s-off. boot into amon ra. goto the options and format the SD card right then and there.
you're supposed to always format the card right after S-oFF, or else the slot tends to not work right or something. this is pretty much why they said to try to use an extra backup card instead of using your own personal one, so ya don't have to lose everythin
Whoops, just realized I posted this to development lol. Sorry to any mod, if you could please move it.

I couldn't even get S-Off to work, lol. I tried for about 30 minutes and ended up with a "dead" SD card. My recovery didn't even see my SD card, I just mounted my USB storage for S&Gs to see what would happen.
Something I find that really helps as well is to make sure you don't flash the Gingerbread hboot when using the S-OFF program. I didn't think it would, but it did manage to give me SD card issues until I flashed a proper ICS hboot.
I'm only mentioning this because after I S-OFFed and got the SD card issues, formatting it did nothing at all to fix the problem. Only after I got the right hboot did everything finally start working again.

I didn't even get that far lol. S-Off didn't work and my SD card was a dud afterwards. my computer would see the drive, but wouldn't do anything with it. My phone just said "blank SD card" and couldn't format.

The method I posted. Just went into recovery, mounted USB storage and formatted my card from Windows. The only downside is that formatting can ruin an SD card...but it's not much to worry about if the card isn't working, anyway =p

formatting can ruin an SD Card? please elaborate. i format SD cards all the time.
I've had a few where the format went "bad" due to some reason and rendered the SD card completely useless. Same has happened to a few people I know and have read of the issue before. I didn't mean that to say "Formatting your SD card enough will ruin it" lol.

I just unmounted mine in Android and formatted it with Windoze. Then I formatted it again in Android. I've corrupted SD Cards all kinds of ways. It's real easy to do if you get stupid with the overclocking/undervolting. I've formatted the 32 gig I first got for my BlackBerry 9630 a few dozen times. It's still as reliable as any other SD Card I have. Better than some, in fact. The only real good way to format a solid state memory device is to write zeros to it. If not, NAND (which your SD Card is) device write cycles can take twice as long.
guys i tried all the format methods listed above still no luck, windows states its a raw format with 0 mb available

I had to download a program that was made just for formatting SD cards. Once I used that it formatted the card fine but windows and my phone would not.

Thanks Chyrux. Your method worked for me . was about to throw away the card but you saved it.
Thanks 1m+ times
Well How many times should I thank you
Thanks Thanks this was the only working method thx very much
I am running Nils P 5.6 Business ICS ROM with the GB fw (old fw) patch. I S-OFF'd earlier today and flashed the jb_hboot when it asked me if I wanted to flash it during the process. Now my SD card is completely absent from inside the ROM. I was reading in another thread that I need to do the SD card fix, but that is only if S-OFF wipes my SD CARD. However, if I boot into recovery, I can mount my SDcard to windows just fine. I can even flash something else from the sd card if i want to. I tried wiping my the ROM and reflashing it to start fresh to see if my SD card would show up and it's still missing. Any ideas?
Edit: to be clear when I S-OFF'd (not sure if this matters) I used the 3.14.605.5 JuoponutBear's tool running Nils 4.3 Business ICS Sense which had the 3.14.605.5 base and it only took my one try. I know the instructions said to be on a stock ROM...
Did you try to mount your SD card while in the ROM.
Yeah, it only mounts the internal storage.
Format it in the rom

How? When I go to Settings -> Storage under 'SD card' it says Total Space "Unavailable" and then directly under that it says 'Available' "Unavailable" and then the next 4 options are greyed out.
Put it in an adapter and see what your computer does with it. If you can format it there do so...then if you're phone doesn't recognize it you can rule out the physical sd card from possible issues.

I have and I've done that. I have a little microSD USB adapter and when I stick my SDcard in that it mounts to windows perfectly. To be clear, I had my spare SDcard in my phone when I ran the S-OFF tool but my normal SDcard was working in the ROM before I attempted S-OFF.
Edit: My spare SD did get picked up in my ROM as "Damaged" after S-OFF. I tried to format it inside the ROM and it said "Erasing SDCARD" but it didn't actually do anything. I couldn't mount it with my microSD usb adapter either. I booted into recovery and partitioned it inside Amon Ra and then was able to mount it using my microSD USB adapter but it doesn't show up in my ROM either.
Which hboot did you install

Yeah i fixed it, i had the wrong hboot.
Hey guys, I just flashed over to jellybam and so far its pretty tight. The only issue I came across was my camera. Everytime I hit the icon to bring it up it says that I have no sd card and closes me right out of it. I am currently using a 8gb sd that is fine and not sure what the issue is.
advice?
fyi: i am running s-on

Yeah, back the files up on your pc/laptop. In storage options, it'll allow you to format the SD Card.

So today I went into the bootloader (By accident, meant to tap reboot into recovery) I pressed the down button one too many times and I deleted storage. Afterwards I went into recovery (4ext 1.0.0.5 RC7) and after an attempt to flash CM10. I receive the error message "Can't mount Internal SD card." The external SD card works just fine. I'm hoping I can get this fixed and after I do you can probably expect another thread for some other problem :laugh:

use 4ext to format the internals storage, then leave recovery, go back into it and attempt to reflash.

As an added note, everytime i make the phone a usb mass storage it unmounts the sd card
I think something similar happened to me where it didn't mount the internal SD no matter what.
I trie dformating it, partition it, nothing worked.
I fklashed stock RUU (that did it) and started from the beginning.
So try putting stock ruu in ext SD rename it PH85img and let bootloader update it.

yes flashing back to stock may help fix the corrupt file system.. then again there's a super wipe script posted somewhere... (not the one from android hd.. krook6023* posted it) if you look in the q&a about 2-4 pages back you might be able to download that and flash it... it also re-partitions the phone and fixes any errors in the file system..

Hello everyone
I have searched for this issue and haven't had any luck finding a resolution. I also posted on an existing post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343217 (post #9) ) and didnt get any help. So I hope that constitutes as following the rules to open a new thread.
To sum it pretty concisely, I was on vacation, something made my phone act very erratically and perform many random reboots, often 20+ in a row without getting past the cyanogen boot screen.
anyway, i just figured i would go without a phone the rest of the trip and put the phone in my bag where the battery died. when I got home from vacation I plugged my phone to charge the battery and the when I turned it on, the reboot problem was gone. It acted normally and was working fine.
However when I went to take a photo, the camera app said, "no storage, no external storage available" and in the background it said " insert an sd card before using the camera"
so i went to settings>storage and looked at the information and it shows the sd card is mounted under the sd card slot. under the internal storage slot, it says "mount sd card". when I unmount from the sd card slot, and try to mount to internal storage, it says "preparing sd card" but nothing changes and there is still an option to "mount sd card" under internal storage.
I have TWRP recovery and when I did a factory reset and that didnt help. I cant wipe anything because it says "failed to mount sd card" in the console log.
I really have no clue how this happened or what I can do to fix the issue. My phone will not connect to my computer and I just need help from you guys.
Im running..
CM10
S-On
Hboot 1.15.000
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405

If Im in the fastboot menu, and I click bootloader, it says

Any help is very much appreciated! thanks!

Anyone? I will happily donate to whoever helps me fix this problem :good:

Have you tried going to the mount menu in recovery, connecting your phone and PC and mounting the SD card to see if you get the option to format it on your PC? I would also try mounting internal storage this way to see what happens.
Also, the "error" you reported regarding what happened when you selected bootloader is actually normal. The bootloader is looking for a PJ75IMG.zip file on the external SD card (like when updating firmware) and will give that message when one isn't found.
Are you running CM 10 or is it newer, like 10.1 or 10.2?
