I'm wondering if anyone can walk me through completely cleaning out my phone before re-flashing Crazy 8. I read somewhere that you can format your internal and external sd cards to really clean things up. I've been having major slow downs and fc's and I want to try this to see if it helps. MY question is, do you format these cards and then go back to stock with ODIN or the other way around? Any tips would be most appreciated.
move critical stuff to pc
format internal/external
power down
odin to jfd
use the update.zip in my noob guide that lets you boot straight to cwr
flash rom
move any critical items back (ie titanium backup folder if you want your apps)

You format each drive through your pc or directly through the phone?

Awesome s15! Thanks so much. I will try this when I get home later. My internet has been down all day at work or I would've thanked you sooner!
Matty: I think you unmount the cards and then format them through the phone but I'll find out more later when I try it out.
You can format your internal/external SD card using either your phone or the computer. However, I think you should better use your phone to avoid any incompatibility issue.

Thank you both. I wasn't sure how to go about it.

Just boot into recovery, select mounts and storage. There is a format SD and format extSD choice. Always make sure you've removed anything critical to your PC first.

YAY! Formatting both SD Cards worked a charm. My phone is very speedy now and not having all the weird random re-boots and FC's! I can't buy anything from the market though, again, this is such a weird problem and I seem to be the only one having it.

Small disaster. Trying to upgrade from 18/04 Hydrogen ICS to the 13/05 build. I flashed the 13/05 .zip in recovery after wiping Dalvik and Cache. Booted as normal, until I found all gapps were dud icons (I did not flash 29/04 version as I thought that I could keep my earlier version). Irritatingly, while USB Mass Storage worked correctly with my PC and I could use file explorers like ES and Astro, when I booted into recovery I could not do anything. I have a nandroid backup from 21/04 which I'd like to restore, but clicking on both 'install zip from sdcard' and 'mounts and storage' just gives an error message saying 'can't mount /sdcard'. I have no clue what to do, any help would be much appreciated...
Please help...
Seriously, does anyone know what to do? My phone is almost unusable, I can barely launch any apps. Is my question so stupid it doesn't bear replying to? Somebody please say something...

Do you actually have a microSD card? If not, use "internal SD card" options.
Also, why are you using "install zip from x" to restore a nandroid backup?

I do have a 16GB external SD. I was not trying to restore nandroid via install zip from SD, I was only saying that originally I wanted to reflash the 18/04 build, and only when I found that this didn't work did I attempt restoring my backup. sorry if this was not clear.
Thanks for the reply. I tried to find instructions for remounting my SD, but a search of this forum didn't yield anything. Perhaps this is the wrong forum

Unless I'm using the wrong method, I can't flash the 'proper way' since the install zip from SD card path doesn't display my SD. I can put the gapps and ROM on the SD via PC, but I can't access them when I disconnect.
I'm not convinced you understand that there's a difference between "install/restore from sd card" and "install/restore from internal sd card". Have you actually tried both?

I haven't, but only because I know where I keep my ROM on my external SD! I have changed ROMs at least five times before on this phone using this method and I am a veteran (if I can use such a hyperbolic term) of the MoDaCo ZTE Blade forum. I hope I know what I'm talking about. Being treated like a hopeless noob gets pretty boring after a while. Fact is, I can't access my external SD inside recovery. I get that my explanations probably don't make enough sense, but I'd like a specific suggestion to my pretty specific problem. Sorry if I come across as a little blunt, I'm just rather frustrated that I haven't found a fix in 3 days...

You hadn't given me a reason to treat you differently, and a lack of ability to do these things on your own for three days kinda goes with the assumption .

Boot your phone, copy files from microSD to internal memory, reboot to recovery, use internal SD options.
I have a T-mobile HTC Amaze running Android Revolution with 4ext recovery. Recently my phone lost cell signal and would not pick it up again. I tried wiping data/cache/dalvik and reinstalling the Android Revolution ROM but the problem is still there. After reinstalling the ROM twice the wifi won't turn on and just says ERROR. I tried going back into 4ext and now it started to give me an error "can't mount /internal_sdcard" when trying to choose zip from sdcard.
Anyone has any idea what's going on?
Thanks

Ok dude I think I know what's going on, then outlook doesn't look too bright either. It looks like your internal sd became corrupted and now it can't mount. So back up your internal sd, reformat, and put your stuff back in and see if it helps.
If that doesn't help I guess you just had a bad luck Brian moment. This internal sd problem happened to me twice already.
For the wifi error, that's probably because you dirty flashed ARHD over a perfectly fond ARHD. You should have just airplane mod'd it for a while or rebooted. When you wipe the cache don't dirty flash the entire rom for one simple problem. When you reboot after you wipe the cache, it just takes a minute to rebuild the 'blocks. '

Well when I connect the phone via usb, it shows up on my computer but none of the files I had show up in the drive, including the zip for the ROM. I most likely lost all my stuff but that's okay. How do I reformat my internal sd at this point?
I tried to do a clean install of ARHD by doing a complete format inside 4ext, maybe something went wrong along the way. So If I can get my internal sd to work, can I format data/cache/dalvik and reinstall the rom? will that fix the problem?
Thanks for your help

Ok the way to format the internal sd is in 4ext. I remember it being somewhere in the wipe section. Choose format sd then internal sd.
Here's a tip when flashing, use format all partitions except sd. This is better than wiping cache then dalvik then data. This method clears of everything but it doesn't touch your sd. This is how to comoletely clean install roms without errors in flashing.
And if after you flash it and see no bars, T-mobile is probably having a bad connection or doing renovations to their towers or something.

No, i don't. I think the cause is the quality of internal not good, and during use that fone, i format it so much.

Same here with any rom it seems, even when doing a wipe of any kind.
Im going to try a older version of TWRP, smells like the recovery isnt right in some way, not the roms.

Found the fix for it. I followed one of the posts from chain fire who was referred to this method by someone I believe. (I apologize if I'm not giving credit to who referred)
1.Turn phone off
2. Remove sd card
3. Flash mi5 stock recovery( you can find a link in the general form in the let's figure this out guys forum on page 7 or so)
4. Keep sd card out while you boot the phone back up.
5. Update to new mj4
Hope this helps. I take no credit for this I just sumerized the genius devs of this forum who I have come to love since I found this place on my s3. Thanks devs

Folks, this is NOT an error. It's support for OTG USB storage. Disregard unless you're using a USB OTG adapter and a USB Thumbdrive. Confirmed with the devs. (Which is where this question should have been posted)

No this is an error.. It fails to install the rom and the only explanation at the end of the log is Unable to mount USBSTORAGE.. Whether it has anything to do with usbstorage or not that is the error we are getting. I am also getting this error. I wipe everything, go to install a rom and it fails.. I can nandroid back to my stock but that is about all I can do aside from flash some mods.
And for the record.. he's trying to get help and Troubleshoot which is the topic of this portion of the forum so I think it's perfectly placed..

I had this issue, what i did to fix it was wipe everything, system, davlik, cache, data, and internal then I did a "format" data in twrp. Once that was done I restored a nandroid booted into it. Then back to recovery and flashed the rom. It was funny as before I did the format data I couldn't mount anything, including inernal storage even when in the rom.
Not sure if this will help you guys but it worked for me.

Sure thing,if somebody that has MJ4 with passwords sticking can do a factory reset then TWRP back up their system partition and post it I may be able to make a zip that fixes this issue. Of course this is exactly what freeza did I am sure so it may not work but I could give it a try. I will pull system from the girlfriends phone but she is on a plane and gone for the weekend so it may be next week before I can get hers.

So I put the rom on my card, rebooted, wiped ONLY cache and dalvik and flashed the rom and it worked.. lol. This is what is called a dirty flash coming from the Evo LTE.. I would never have done this lol.. But if it works whatever lol. Thanks again for the recommendation. It actually installs more like a theme than a rom. Always interesting to learn the changes from phone to phone. Excited to see what's to come!

Did ya have the backup on your external? If I'm reading this right, you wiped your internal storage. I've yet to successfully get a clean backup onto my external. It sounds like this could come in very handy, I just want to make sure I understand the steps in case I want to use this. Thanks, bro.

Yep had the backup on external. When this happened to me it was after taking the OTA to MJ4. Basically I had odined to full stock, factory reset and wiped internal. Then I removed external SD. Rebooted and took the MJ4 update. After this I flashed TWRP before CF auto root, this took me to an endless boot loop. I couldn't flash anything and anything I tried to run in Odin failed. So I wiped everything again, formatted system and data, tossed in the external SD and restored a nan droid. Presto I was back in business. I think having twrp flashed before cf auto root may have been the culprit. After I restored the nan droid I reran cf first then twrp. Since then no issues at all. In fact I have restored several nan droids from external and have had no problems.
Those nan droids were only of system, data and boot. I am using the latest TWRP with a scan disk 64gb external. I can't remember if it is formatted NTFS or fat32.... I will have to check that for you if you need the info. I am pretty sure it is NTFS but I did have it formatted fat32 for a while so like I said I will have to check that to be sure.
Break.....
In reply to the other post, if you have a T-Mobile version I would try the efs partition restore. I don't have the link anymore but it is in xda forum somewhere, if you search or ask around somebody is bound to know what thread it is in.
Last thing to try is wiping in recovery first then if the flash fails just reboot back to recovery with the twrp menu. Then don't wipe and try the flash again.
I have kind of jumped around a bit with the explanation and couple more things to try, hopefully it makes sense.

I believe that the T-Mobile efs partition fix works great on this phone, if it's the miracle zip to which you are referring (small zip file labeled brick bootloop fix after restoring backup, or something to that effect).
The external SD card I'm using is only 16 GB (yeah, I know), so definitely not a problem with the way it's formatted (it's the one I had on my E4GT). It just fails on backup. I may try it again sometime, but just got tired of that red fail message.
Your explanation is clear and useful.
FWIW, I believe that boot, system and data comprise a complete backup, unless the efs gets fried. Also, I think that you may be right, that the TWRP then autoroot may have been the culprit, but back in business is way awesome (pain while in the mire, though).
In preparation for KitKat, I think a large external SD card is my next purchase, along with a complete wiping of internal, clean start and all.
Thanks for the info. Very helpful.

I'm sure the 64gb cards are much cheaper now. I think I got mine on amazon for like 50 over a year ago.
Every time I want to do a "clean" install I format the internal memory. I usually have backups of apps/data/rom on the sd card which makes using mybackup pro awesome to restore apps/data. But for whatever reason I am having trouble using mybackup with this phone..
So I've kinda been chillen on freezas rom / kernel waiting for development to increase more (it's coming along great)

I have personally been switching back and forth between maximus ROM and AOSP and have had no issues with restoring backups through TWRP. As far as the unable to mount USB storage error I believe everyone gets that but it has never caused me an issue with flashing a ROM. It is looking for a mass storage device if I am correct. Sometimes after I do a factory reset I rebbot twrp back into recovery before I flash a new ROM and have not had any issues. Someone please chime in if you know better than I.
Hope this helps in some way.

Not sure if it affected the wip or not, but I got that error pretty quick during the flash. I don't see how the rom could have flashed in under 10 seconds, so I do think it is affecting it from flashing and possibly wiping. Thanks for the info about the restore though
I'm using htc one x+ and I've created a back up rom and save it in sdcard. Now, I do format/system in clockwordmod recovery. My backup file can lost???

No, dude. Your backup is not deleted
Thank NowenUI very much about your reply! But my phone (Htc one X+) don't have microSD card slot. It's only a Internal Memory 64GB. Everything had saved on it. I still have a concern

Don't worry we all have the HOX+ so we know what we are saying.
I did have my concern in the beginning however, once you select "Format System" "Format Data" Format Cache and Dalvik " none of your files stored in the SDCard will be destroyed.

Ummm soon I'll be rooting my phone but I need to be 100% sure that if I s-off, root and custom rom this phone that I won't lose any data on the internal card... Can anyone confirm?

Let me tell ya something,
1- No S-Off for HOX+ , so when you flash a rom you have to connect the phone to the pc and fastboot flash boot boot.img , guides on how to do so can be found here
2-Sadly the process of unlocking the bootloader (which lets you install a custom recovery which comes before actually rooting) must sadly erase every single thing in your internal storage, however this is a one time process, after that changing roms wont erase any data. Sadly there is no way around it.
Just copy your music/pics to the pc and your contacts are auto synced to google contacts, thats the best you can do.
