I know i need to extract them with unyaffs.exe
But i can't find where my camera photos stored ..
Please navigate me to the path ...
Motorola Atrix 2.3.4 device.
Thanks.
Nowhere, they're on the SD card (/DCIM/)
So they are gone ?
I stored them at the internal sd, not in the external sd.
Internal SD... ah, sorry: the Atrix has built-in memory... I wasn't aware of that. That depends on how it is accessed... I still wouldn't expect it to show up in Nandroid backups, but if your lucky it doesn't get formatted and you can still retrieve it. The question is, what device is this internal storage and what filesystem does it use.
Can you still mount the storage on the PC? You should be able to retrieve most of your images even if the drive was formatted using a standard photo recovery tool
I just full wiped everything .. all the storage places too and intsalled new ROM.
OK, i can do that , which revocery tool should i use ?
It's been a while ... I think I used this one:
http://www.z-a-recovery.com/digital-image-recovery.htm
The free version is enough for image recovery.
Thanks
Just recover some of my images ...
But i can't get the full library from the nandroid backup? what information do you need?
I know i can just restore the nandroid backup ... but it will do trouble ... diffrent kernel from my preset rom..
Any ideas?
?
Sorry for the late response, But I just stumbled upon the thread. I had the G2x. The internal memory is just like another SD card. Just that it's not removable. What's backed up in a Nandroid is things like the /data, /cache /boot /system and android.secure partitions. The internal memory is /emmc. It doesnt get formatted in a wipe (unless you say so) and it doesnt get backed up in the Nandroid. Otherwise, your Nandroid backups would be EXTREMELY large.
I had originally run RegawMOD rooter on 1.13.651.1 and the phone ran great. Yesterday, I decided to do LazyPanda S-OFF and then try out some of the 1.22.651.3 ROMs. LazyPanda said everything completed successfully. I went into TWRP, wiped System/Cache/Dalvik, then went to install a ROM but it failed because it couldn't mount sdcard2. I read through the LazyPanda thread and noticed that there were sometimes data loss issues with the SD card - no biggie, I had all my data backed up. I didn't have an adapter on hand to hook up the SD card directly to the computer, so I went out and picked up a SD card + adapter combo.
Today, I put the brand new SD card into the device and boot into TWRP; however TWRP takes a long time to boot. I look at the console spew and there are a bunch of "E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)" errors and even a "E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)" one. Of course, this is the internal memory. I'm pretty sure I didn't see these errors last night, so I'm not sure what happened between then and now.
So my question is: how do I get back to a usable state? I don't care about losing any of the data (it's backed up elsewhere), I just need a working phone.

I have had this problem before. It started when I booted twrp without my external ad card,then when I put it back in it recognizes it but it somehow got the sd ext mixed up with int sd so it tried to write roms to the ext sd,no matter how many times I reset it to recovery its still the same. The only solution I have found was to re-flash twrp I was using 2.18 or something now on 2.2 and I would recommend it. Here's how I fixed it easy. Downloaded evo 4g lte toolbox from the lte dev forum (not sure if its the orig forum or not),installed and opened toolbox,installed HTC drivers from toolbox,restart my phone in bootloader (vol-d+power) went into fastboot and clicked on push recovery from toolbox,reset into recovery and viola everything mounts properly. I am htcdev unlocked and I'm not sure if its different when your s-off. You should still be able to push recovery from fastboot. Let me know if this works

I wasn't able to find the toolbox you mentioned; however I was able to resolve the problem. I ended up running the RUU mentioned here to restore the internal memory to a installable state.

When in recovery touch mount and then touch external card so there is an x in the box then back out then touch the second choice thing with like two or three dots and select sdcard. that is what I did
PS: TOUCH SO THERE IS A DOT NEXT TO USING EXTERNAL SDCARD AT THE BOTTOM - THEN BACK OUT AND DO ABOVE.
No internal memory

So are you saying you completely unrooted your phone and went back to step one to fix this problem? I am trying to get my internal memory back myself.
if this happens again, there have been reports that mounting your phone to windows while in TWRP and formatting it will fix the issue. no need to RUU...but atleast it fixed your problem :victory:
Have same mounting issues with TWRP

I'm using samsung galaxy i9001. Have installed TWRP. But unable to access sd card on PC.
where can I find this format option?
Before I make things worse, can someone let me know what did I do / doing wrong. I was on Sinister v8, trying to update to v11 of the same rom, using TWRP 2.3.1.0, i did a full full wipe,(Factory, System, Ex Storage, Internal Storage), copied new files to sdcard, reboot into recovery, Install zip (v11) from SD card, reboot....bootloop.
Then I went to try it again, remembering that i may need to extract boot.img and use fastboot but couldn't even access the filesystem. In TWRP I see a bunch of
Code:
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to mount internal storage.
...
E:Unable to mount /sdcard when trying to read settings file...
Here are my details

I'm able to format data/system partitions via TWRP, but can't mount sdcard to get anything on it. I'm pretty sure i'll need to recreate/format the partitions. Any other steps I could try? (I have a backup from 12/31/2012 on my desktop cpu but can't get it on to the phone). I'm good with wiping everything and starting over with this phone if I knew how.

I know the mount menu, but what do you click after that, you just plug in and it turns on mount? Sorry i don't have the device in front of me, only a Nexus 4 as of now, but I'm not able to mount with N4, might be a different deal with the evo lte.
I had this same issue a few weeks back from Factory Reseting within the bootloader. I connected the phone to a USB port, then booted into TWRP and mounted the internal sd card. Right clicked the drive from within Windows then formatted it. I unmounted then rebooted back into TWRP and the SD card was mounted. If when trying to flash a ROM after this you get a Unable to mount cache message, try doing a Factory Reset from within TWRP.

You plug your phone in to your PC and select "Mount", then select which storage you'd like to mount.
still can't get to work
Still can't mount /sdcard. I can get into TRWP I have gone into Windows (I am on a MAC) and formatted the drive (is FAT32 the correct way?) When I try mounting the partitions, I can't select SD-ext nor Internal, is this why I can't fix this? I was able to send boot.img through ADB, just testing if this works. I could use some help before I have to turn this over to Sprint and pay for a replacement. I tried Chris V's solution but that didn't do anything. can't factory resest in TWRP cause can't load the /sdcard.

i have the same problem but, can you make your fix more precise. i mean,
1. what did you mount via twrp? are those cache, data, eemc, system, sdcard, sd-ext? cause i can't mount them all except cache, i can't even click the box with X.
2. i've also reformatted my drive (sdcard) through my windows 7 and make it to exfat.
and all the time i do the wipe of everything that have to be wipe it always says: factory reset failed!

A better bet would be to post in the forum for your particular device. I'm not familiar with the Flare S3 Octa, but basically the steps should be the same. What you want to mount is the "System" and/or the "SD Card". You can transfer to those partitions. Another good rule of thumb is to make sure you're using the latest recovery available. When all else fails, you may need to do a complete reset via an RUU.

I am trying to go back to stock, but somewhere along the way I seem to have corrupted my internal card. I am trying to put the PH98IMG on the internal, but I cant mount it in recovery ("cant mount emmc"). When I try to mount usb using the installed rom, the external card is accessible, but internal doesn't show up like it used to. I downloaded the RUU and renamed it PH98IMG.zip. Can I flash the RUU just like a custom rom using recovery? Or does it need to be installed from hboot using the PH98IMG method?
edit: I ended up just formatting, there wasnt really anything on internal anyways.
This is driving me nuts... Here's my story.
Rooted Rezound, running Tachyon Rom.
One morning (today) phone would just no longer boot. Can boot into TWRP v2.7.1.1 recovery. Can flash recoveries, no problem.
But the internal SD Card shows 0 for size.
So I can't flash a new ROM, can't run the current one any longer. Can't do anything but flash recoveries.
I'm S-ON, so no idea how I can get utilize RUU's.
Any ideas? It's my only phone right now. I'm desperate.

Seriously? Nobody has anything they can add to this? I'm really hoping to save this phone as I don't have the $$ to replace it at this time.
Why can't you flash a ROM? Is your complete internal sdcard (all partitions) gone, or just the emmc (Internal Storage)?
Just put it on your external storage and flash from there... many Rezounds are running without the internal storage and they work fine, and in many JB ROM's they internal and external were "reversed" and the external storage was used as the primary, try some of the 4.2/4.3 build of Carbon, LiquidSmooth, Beanstalk, or any of the larger distros at that time.
If your entire internal sd card is gone (no /boot /system, etc), then your PIT (Partition Information Table) is probably toast, not a good spot to be in. Are you S-OFF, then try one of the executable RUU files (NOT one of the PH98IMG flashables), they will often rebuild the partition table and return the device to service. If you are S-ON, then only HTC can fix this, not sure if even a JTAG service can fix it.

Correct. The entire internal sdcard is gone. I can't mount, partition, wipe, or format it.
I'll see if I can flash a new ROM to the external SDCard. Can you direct me to a tutorial or something on how to flash to external SDCard or logically reversing the SDCards? It keeps failing as it tries to flash to internal by default.
I am S-On.
Thanks!

TBH, its probably toast then... Once the PIT is gone, or the internal flash chip goes bad, there is no recovery method I know of on an S-ON Rezound, even with S-Off there is only a slim chance of recovery at this point. The phones needs to have access to /boot, /system, and cache partitions on the internal flash, the rest can reside on the external storage.

I had this issue appear when I tried to install a ROM on my S-off Rezound. Mine was the internal storage though. I tired many things to recover the data, but was only able to get it to remount after a format.
