The problem: SD card is not recognized when flashing new roms that have been released the month of Feb 2013. Running the Venom Rom, or even the older NillsP roms, the SD card works fine
Here is my setup
- Rooted, HTC unlocked, S-ON, Gingerbread+patch Firmware
Here is what I have tried
- Running the new "wipe tool 5times wipe" , flashing the EclipticRez rom
- I log into the phone, go to settings, storage, click MOUNT SD card, and it says "preparing sd card" but never finishes
- Restarted the phone, back to settings, storage, mount sd card was still there.... clicked it .. no dice
- I then shut the power off, removed the SD card put in a spare 8 GB, settings, storage, mount, and even tried format.. that all failed
- I then... restored the old Venom Rom, and POOF SD card shows up and works....
- I even tried the new viral rom, and the sd card will not work there too...
- I have tried, wiping the rom again, reinstalling the EclipticRez with a different kernal, no dice...
You should get off gingerbread firmware. That sounds like its the problem.

where does one get the most current firmware
I thought that the firmware was the problem, but just wanted to ask everyone what they thought.... I have been digging around and can not seem to find where the firmware is posted. I am not sure which version to use for the new roms. Is it the ICS firmware? If so, do you have the link?
The latest (Global leak) version can be found here. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390034591667978440. Since your s-on, you might have to relock then flash RUU. Unlock again. Install custom recovery. Then flash a rom. It is a lengthy process.
But since you are s-on. I would recommend flashing this one. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/
Just a tip, delete the recovery.img from the RUU zip file and then run it. That way it won't overwrite your custom recovery

did you ever try RUU'ing back to stock and starting over again? Did that fix the problem?
My phone just stopped mounting my sdcard on any rom.
I've wiped, tried scott's 5x wipe tool, and both roms I tried will not work. it says "insert SD card" but it's already in. I can get it to say "Damaged sdcard" too, and tried formatting, but that didn't work.
So I'm now downloading the latest RUU [ http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ ] it says 10 minutes left on the download..This will be my first time ever going back to stock on my rez. But I surely hope this will fix it. But does anyone have any other suggestion before I go back to stock?
edit: ok. I had the RUU downloaded, and was about to flash it, when I realized my sdcard in an external reader seemed to be acting funny. When I was searching for a file with "find" [lists all the files in subdirs] it would always error out and I would have to pull it out and put it back in the reader again.
So I tried formatting My sdcard again [I just did it a few days ago because I kept losing files to LOST.DIR, thought a reformat was in order]. So I did that again, used gparted in Ubuntu to format my sdcard fat32 again. I put it in the phone and booted it up, and I got no errors! yay. I'm glad I didn't restore it to stock. all is well.

I recently upgraded to the new MR2 radio and GingerBAMF 20-5. For some reason, I forgot to put pg05img.zip in a different folder after I installed it. It had been working fine for a few days, but when I tried to install a kernel through RomManager, it started to go downhill. This was my first time attempting to install a kernel. I had "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Backup Rom" selected. After installing the kernel, the phone started up with the HTC logo as usual, but it just went to a black screen afterwards. I've tried going into recovery, but it automatically asks me to update to the new radio. The only way I can access other features in recovery is to remove the SD card. Is there any way I can fix this?
1. Remove sd card from phone
2. Put sd card in computer sd card reader
3. Erase PG05IMG.zip from sd card
4. Put sd card back in phone
5. Turn on phone

You could also put the sd card in a friends phone and then use a usb cable to access it like a flash drive and erase the file... That's happened to me on a few occasions now.
Thank you, I'll try those out.
Yup, it works. My tb works again. Thanks again.
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, installed amon ra recovery, have flashed a couple different roms. This morning i flashed scott's cleanrom 4.0 booted up everything seemed to be looking fine. However i went to look in my gallery for photos and it just pops up the screen sd card unmounted. So i went to setting storage and clicked mount sd card and it says preparing sd card, but doesnt do anything. So then i looked in the file system. under /sdcard it says sd card empty mounted or unpresent. sdcard2 isnt even a file system (not positive its supposed to be) so basically i only have access to the RAM i think? ive rebooted, factory reset, id try flashing a new rom, but i cant mount the darn cards on the computer to flash a new rom (maybe i could do this from cmd with fastboot or something?) ive thought about trying to format the sd cards but im not sure how to do this especially since the internal one is also having troubles.
I would really appreciate help on this as i cant hardly do anything on this besides texts and phone calls right now!
Thanks for any help

Well, when you say you flashed a couple of roms.. the only rom at the time that would work with the new base was the stock rom that came with the RUU. Scott , then had the first rom with the new base. Using the old roms on the new base caused SD card issues that your describing , but I figured flashing Scott's rom would have fixed it . Easiest fix is if you backed up the stock rom that came with the RUU, if not only thing I can think of is to RUU again and start over. I know Dres is looking into this issue for Amon Ra in case the dev blocks changed , but until he does I would think reflashing RUU is the easiest suggestion.
Problem Solved
Thanks so much! I flashed the latest (that I could find) RUU 3.11.605.1 i got the boot.img and the stock rom out of the RUU and flashed them using fastboot and Amon Ra respectively. When I booted back up the sd cards were properly mounted and everything seems fixed. Thanks again for the quick helpful response!
Now, I still don't exactly understand what I did wrong. So let me try to get some things strait. So the latest RUU is the latest version of the leaked ROM (from HTC?) in question, ICS in our case. So whenever a new RUU is leaked all the developers build new roms on this RUU? and if i say, had been flashing roms from an old RUU, and then flashed a rom from a new RUU (maybe i also forgot to wipe things?) caused problems?
I'd just like to get a better idea of what the problem actually was, and why what i did fixed it. Hopefully someday i won't be so dependent on the great minds here on xda.
Thanks again for everything!
I'm in a similar boat.
I'm in a similar boat. I went straight from stock rooted gingerbread to CleanRom ICS and now I can't get the sd card to mount. CleanROM just kept rebooting over and over. I'm going to try the suggestion by the OP. Hopefully that fixes the problem.
I guess the dev block changed from the old base to the new. Amon ra is already updated. So when you Ruu again and ran the new stock it matched so fixed it. Just don't rum old roms or backups.

Go into my ICS thread or any of the ICS threads and download the patch to run the new build on the old firmware to fix the mounts
I have kind of similar issue. My phone storage and sdcard are swapped. I only rooter and installed AmonRa recovery. I put 9gb of music on my card, but in setting my card looks empty and my phone storage only has 80m left.
Any ideas?
Thanks
what firmware are u on... u probably need to flash the other amonr ra version if you are on 3.14 flash 3.15 or vice versa
Seams to have started just after I S-Off'd my rezound. Took me forever to initially get it working and get cleanrom back onto it, where it immediatly started to reboot randomly after a minute or two, usually under quick/hard loads, it does it every time consistently when I try to Dial or Text someone. I also tried to upgrade to the leaked RUU and rom to fix this, nothing. The stock rom I could dial, but it did reboot once on lock screen. Custom roms reboot consistently. Help?
Did you flash the leak twice?
No, I followed instructions off of theandroidsoul,com rezound ics upgrade page to the 'T' since they supplied download links.
I'd post the page directly but I haven't reached my required post count.
It's a kernel upgrade via hboot, and a shell/rom flash via recovery, so I'm not sure if your expecting a different upgrade meathod.
Which am I expected to flash twice? And what is expected to change?
Check android community site with march 16 story to download rooted version for the leak. It should just be a ph98img.zip. before you do though, have you tried wiping everything in recovery, possibly 2 or 3 consecutive wipes, and then a completely clean install of Scott's stuff again? Also, are you on amon ra?
Edit- it would be the kernel to do twice. When it prompts at bootloader to update, you pick yes and if it doesn't hit all the entries, you have to run it again.b
I flashed the rom and the kernel twice earlier, stock seams to run flawlessly, I can dial, and the phone doesn't reboot Speed Ex 3D like it did earlier, though it plays double screened, weird. Anyway, I'll try flashing some various roms to see what happens.
Good to hear.
Ran into an issue, Stock ICS isn't mounting my SD card, simply says unavailable under storage. HBoot still finds the kernel upgrade, rather annoying when I'm trying to remove it to access recovery.
The format check earlier said Ext4, I assume RUU should be able to handle that. Would be unthinkable that I'd have to flash the GB fix.
have you checked under settings--about phone--software and made sure that it says android 4.0.3? I ran into a similar (maybe same) problem when I first tried flashing the leak firmware. It didn't fully flash correctly, so the first time it said I was still on GB and it could not mount my SD, the second time I flashed the ph98img.zip it said I was on 4.0.3 but still would not mount my SD. So I flashed it once more and everything was fine after that.
What the hell... I just noticed by radio is 1.22, I flashed the leaked radio awhile after the S-Off. Kinda screwy. I removed the external SD card, got into recovery, but when I mount the internal sd to the computer, I can't edit anything. Says full up to 1200kb if i read that right.
Btw, says 4.0.3 under software
SD Card reads normally under CleanRom DE, but still crashes
BAMF Senseless v2 crashes when I try to dial too.
Wait, is it the same sd you had in it when you did the S-off procedure? If so, have you reformatted it? If this is the problem, see sindroidx's how-to in the rezound general forum. If not, it still sounds like your sd card has either been corrupted/misformatted somehow. That's for external. If it is internal SD, see graymonkey44's "S-off is Official!!!" thread. It contains the fix for both, by the way.

Definately, sounds like your SD card needs to be reformatted. Numerous posts on it , but some have had success just formatting in Windows ( might have to do it more than once to finally get it to show your full capacity) . I used Gparted Live CD to repartition and reformat to fat 32 and it worked great. Whatever your comfortable doing will work, but needs to be reformatted regardless. Also sounds like you should just RUU from scratch after your SD card is fixed , then start over once you know the phone is operating properly.
I RUU'd back to the OTA 2.011 and it fixed some odd issues I was having , now running the Sense 4 roms using the old firmware patch and everything is fine.
I formatted through recovery and RUU after I used a spare SD to install/update. Well this is what I don't get, under other Roms, my SD card mounts fine, but not under Leaked RUU, how ever if I'm on, say cleanrom and mount it to to the computer, windows acts like the external SD needs to be scanned/fixed, how ever I can still open and explore it just fine.
Ig I'll try reformatting my SD once more, then flash some GB kernels/fix
Will it matter if I'm on the GB or ICS bootloader?
sounds like the symptoms of not having the firmware patched.
What patch are you referring to?
In the meantime I'm going to try this kernel and run the GB > ICS fix

As I stated, Leaked RUU wont recognize either SD, CleanRom and others recognize both but reboot alot. I tried the internal fix by flashing the ICS Hboot for S-Off last night which changed nothing. I just now flashed a GB Kernel and ran the SD card fix to test with CleanRom and it still freezes/reboots.
-Edit-
Just checked, and it still says 4.0.3 under software. This is such a pain...
Also I can't access the internal SD card from the computer when I USB mount in recovery. It simply opens up blank.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560363 Sounds just like my problem.
The first guide I followed to upgrade was trash,
this guide has fixed everything:

Hey guys, I am hoping i can get some assistance on bringing my sd card back to life after failing to s-off my phone yesterday. After multiple fails on the wire-trick yesterday i called it quits and just flashed nils biz rom but i am now unable to format and mount the external sd card. I went through the steps outlined in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1615418.html and i will get prompted in notifications that my SD card is damaged and needs to be fixed. I click ok and it wipes the card, then i get another notification and it will state that the file system is unsupported and i should reformat the card, which i do, and yet it still will not show up and work correctly.
Does anyone have any other thoughts or advice? Im running hboot 2.21.000 on GB FW, and running nils 4.6 with TWRP recovery.
I have heard that if you put it in a computer and format, it should work.
I have tried that and it did not work.

Hi folks. I had an unrooted Rezound. I used the HTC Dev site to get it to an unlocked bootloader. I installed the Amon-Ra recovery and used it to flash the Infection JB ROM. Now it boots into the white HTC screen, goes slightly darker white and doesn't move. I can get back into recovery but after some wipes to clear up problems, now I'm stuck. It won't mount the internal or external SD cards. I *can* boot into fastboot but when I try to push a different ROM, I get the message that it doesn't an android info file.
I think I might be okay if I can use flashboot to flash maybe an ICS based ROM but I'm not sure. It seemed the phone originally didn't like the 32 gig SD card in there (one boot prior to the flashing it said damaged SD card). I popped it out, put it in a USB card reader and formatted it to fat32. Recovery threw an error when trying to access the SD card to do the flashing of the Infection ROM so I just flashed it from the copy I had placed on the internal SD. I'm guessing I might have to flash a standard boot.img from flashboot and try things again?.

Try using the usb mount to access sdcard. you may have to reformat one if you have an extra one. Or format it prior to putting it in your Rezound. As long as you can access recovery you are not bricked.

Provided I can gain access to the SD card, what would be my next step? Flash an ICS rom?
When trying to access the internal SD from recovery, I get this error-can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 or mmcblk0p38. Invalid argument. If I try to flash anything from the SD card, it says that it is opening the package, gives another line and then kicks me right back to the recovery menu. From there, trying to pull up the external card leads to a blank directory unless I yank the battery and reseat the card (or potentially just reseating the battery). Does anybody have any ideas?
fixit if you are s-0n
Look around xda, or google and find/download RUU 3.14.605.12, which should be an *.exe executable file.
Use a md5 checksum utility to confirm validity, boot into fastboot, and run this RUU.
It should make everything OK again.
@Napalm
Format the sd card using your recovery.
If you still have it in its current state open the rom's zip file, copy out boot.img, and fastboot flash it. Then attempt booting like normal.
Thanks Michael and hi Snuzz! After doing more searching, I did notice an extra step in one of the roms I used. It mentioned about flashing the boot.img in hboot if S-On was true. For my rezound, yeah it's still S-on for me. When I get back to my main PC, I'll see what I can do. I really hope I can come back from it as I'm really looking fwd to upgrading from my Tbolt. The Rezound has such a nice camera and processor, I'd prefer not to have to go another route.
Oh my god. This is so horribly screwy. The problem all along.....it ws the stupid 32 gig SD card I was using. I put Rage 2.3 on a 16 gig card, tried to flash from that one and it worked perfectly. No need for the RUU. I'm happy I didn't need it because of this warning.
This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off

On the 32 gig card, the zip flash would go by very fast and then basically reboot the recovery. From there, well the thread covers that. As of right now, Rage 2.3 has booted and asking for initial setup info. Since Rage is going to be my first ROM on this device, anybody have any thoughts on it or comments on another they like more?
