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.

This is what I installed. Wish I'd made a nandroid before. This sucks...
All system data is gone too. Is there any way to get it back? Or am I screwed?
If you did not make any backup of some kind, then yes, it's lost forever. ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before installing a new mod or rom. It is standard procedure.

His pics may have been in sdcard and not sdcard2. If that's the case a system wipe would have definitely cleared them out.

yeah I wish i hadnt. i still cant seem to find the internal sd though. it just shows the external in disk drive mode for some reason.
For some reason unknown to me, CWM only see's my internal storage. Also, when I try to Wipe Dalvik Cache, it gives an error:
E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext].
I am wondering if maybe this is maybe causing some sort of issue even though I wipe everything three times...

I wouldn't sweat it. I've had this issue as long as I can remember flashing on my note (a whole two months) and it hasn't caused any issues that I've noticed. If it's a good release, mine works the same as everyone's. Same with a buggy release, same bugs as everyone else. The sd-ext issue when formatting dalvik cache hasn't caused any (extra) bugs for me.

I would use TWRP instead of CWM.
Did you try to fix permissions though in CWM?
I did try to fix permissions, and it said it succeeded, but still hasn't resolved the problem.
I'm not sure if it's an issue per se, based on one of the above posters. But it is annoying none-the-less, so if someone knows a way to fix this I'd be much obliged.
Also, what is TWRP?

The best way I can think of twrp is its cwm except for a lot more functionality with a more friendly user interface. You can flash it via goo manager app in play store which will overwrite your cwm as your active recovery.
As far as the card is concerned, I would start by...
Backing up w/e before starting
Plug into PC via in phone or memory card reader. All that is important is that your PC can see it.
Use the windows built in diskpart utility to clean it partition it and format it.
Let me know if you need the diskpart syntax, its from command line.

I assume that doing this will leave CWM so that I can re-install CM10?
Is CWM stored on some other storage then internal storage? Some other memory chip or something?
I'm having this issue with CWM too, it's kind of driving me nuts cause it used to see both cards just fine before, and I don't like filling up my internal card with all my roms & radios. I'm kind of scared to use TWRP again though after what happened with my GSII. In short- I have reason to believe TWRP bricked my phone. I had just gotten my Note & was getting my GSII ready to sell(clearing data, formatting storage, etc). I booted into TWRP(which I'd been using for months, so it wasn't user error) & did a factory reset there too just to be safe. It seemed to work fine & gave me the "rebooting" message, and then.... nothing. Black screen. No boot, no recovery, no download mode, no signs of life whatsoever. I had to send it to Samsung to be fixed.
Now, it could have just been coincidental timing, but I'm now understandably hesitant to use TWRP again. Has this happened to anyone else? Sorry to hijack the thread.
In CWM, have you guys tried to mount sd card.

Nope, it comes up under "Internal".
Hello everyone,
I had previously rooted my original evo a while back and recently got the new evo lte, and thought "Oh I can root this all by myself." Big mistake
Okay, so, I made sure to unlock it using the HTC dev. Then downloaded Rom Manager and tried to put the new cm10 rom but for some reason it was coming up with sd errors. So, I looked up what could possibly be the cause behind that, which I thought was the previous Rom Manager data from the old evo. So I deleted it and well had the same problem. I also made sure to do the Hboot fastboot thing too.
Then I download the TWRP recovery and things took a turn for the worst. Now my external/internal storage is unreadable to twrp, ironically so, I can still use the USB for the sd.
I tried other roms, but it won't load them
Now, my os is gone and I just don't know what to do. At very least I can still use fastboot, but I really just unsure how I can well make it work.
so stat wise it says
tampered/unlocked
S-ON RL
Hboot 1.15
Radio 1.05.11.0606
OpenDSP-v25. 1.032.0405
I am also running a mac.
So, if anyone can set me in the right direction, that would be super.
For one reason or another some users have problems flashing cmx and corrupting internal. Boot to twrp and mount as USB then format it in OSX.

Thank you for replying. So I want to mount the internal storage and format it in Fat32?
Also, when I go to the mounting menu, it will not let me press "Mount Internal".
However, I can mount internal storage using USB storage method, I don't get it...
Selecting mount as usb storage is all you need to do, at the very least you should be able to do that, then format, fat 32 is the default so there is no need to specify fat 32
Format the top one, correct?
Sorry for the late reply, that should be it
No, Thank you.
So, I did reformat. It still cannot find the internal storage/SD storage.
So, can I push RUU through fastboot to return it to a functional state. All this for Jellybean, haha
I had almost the same thing happen to me over the weekend for the first time. I was about to reformat it in twrp and that worked great for me. So give that a try before you run a ruu

I already reformat the internal and it made no different. I also cannot reformat within twrp, it just says cannot find and fails.
I think I've misunderstood, if you reformatted and can not access memory from aosp Rom try flashing the sd rewrite fix
swap internal/external links

I'm coming into this late but I recently experienced corrupted internal storage while running cmx as well. While I could not choose to mount the external storage, I somehow was able to select that bubble when in the restore menu. I restored an old meanrom and it rebuilt the internal storage despite losing the data. Not sure if this info will help you at all, but figured I would share. Good luck.

When I was able to flash a new rom [as I am now unable to really access my sd card] it would install it, however, it would boot past the the splash screen and would go black. I didn't think I had to flash the kernel before hand, perhaps that was my problem.
Yesterday night I was running the Viper ROM and decided to switch and try out a Sense 5 port. I booted to TWRP and wiped cache, dalvik cache, data, and system. I then tried to flash the Sense 5 port which failed. I tried to restore a backup and it failed. And now my sdcard/internal is not mounting so I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas on how I could get my phone back to a functional state?
At least it isn't 'bricked' if you can still get to recovery which is good. Bricked is 100% dead which yours doesn't sound like it is. If you are able to get to recovery, are you jus notable to get to the external SD? Can you access the SD directly from a PC? If so, maybe copy what you can, format and copy back..try to mount again..

If you're on Hboot 1.12 or you're S-off you can disregard flashing the boot.img (kernel) separately.
I've never run across the issue where storage wouldn't mount, but the fix posted in the thread above seems to have worked for at least one person. Just make sure you back everything up to your computer before you start formatting anything.

Honestly, I've never run across the problem myself but I see it fairly regularly in these forums. I don't know what causes it, either.

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

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.

The one thing I haven't done is wipe internal .. I was afraid of losing some stuff on my internal card.. I'll back anything up and give it a go. Thank you so much for your help and recommendation! I'll let you know how it goes.. I gotta download Jellybomb again as I tried moving it to my sdcard in recovery and it seems to have disappeared somehow.. . Thanks again!

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!

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.

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)

Been running that rom for quite a long time.
Yeah, I was looking at prices for 64 GB cards. Prices look quite good.

I have run into this same problem. This is my first time tyring to flash on my note 3 and when I wipe or try to flash the rom I get the error that it is unable to mount usbstorage. I don't fully understand how you fixed this? Is there a stock image I need to flash?
Also a friend of my said that there is an issue with doing restores on the note 3, that it causes a bootloop. Is this true? It's the first I've heard of it

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
