i have looked everywhere and cant find a solution for some reason my phone was fine yesterday, until i rebooted then it went to htc screen and went black, so i tried to flash the same rom which was before, crynogan rom 4.2.2 jb and it said it was unable to mount anything, cache sd card, i am currently not able to wipe the cache or memory as it wont let me, ive been working on this for hours, i cant flash a rom or anything because it wont mount, please help i cant get a new phone at this moment, and need it for work. Thankyou guys.
Also
my internal memory is 0, as well as my sd card. cannot partition either says its also unable to mount. ive tried team win recovery and clockwork, same issure
Can you try formatting the SD card in PC? If it still can't see it, might be bad phone...

If you're s-off, trying running the RUU on it, if that doesn't work, I think it's safe to say your phone is dead.
Thankyou very much for your reply, i have 3 sd cards all at different gigabytes, same thing with them. Not accepting a single one but its not just that, if it cannot mount the system, cache, sd card, or internal memory, then this phone is bricked or useless like youve said, ive done fastboot and its a pain, im not that experienced but i get the idea. Even when i go into recovery, and go to mount, i cannot mount anything or partition, it wont let me select anything. here are some pics of my phone and and process..... well it wont let me upload them until 10 post but i can send them to you if you want to see if you can tell by them. im fully able to get to hboot and recovery no problem.
my phone is S-on btw

Hi all,
So my phone won't boot past the white HTC screen. I'm able to boot into recovery, but that's it. I'll go into recovery and try to flash an assortment of ROMs, but it never gets past the HTC screen. It gets to the HTC screen, stays there for 15 seconds or so, then reboots back into the screen.
I'm 1.4 S-OFF. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Twist: When I boot it with the SD card in, it doesn't work.
When I boot it with the SD card out, it doesn't work.
BUT When I boot it with the SD card out, then slide in the SD card while the white HTC screen is on, then it boots. Wtf. Anyone have any ideas?
first thought, did you wipe cache/dalvik/data?
second, GSM or CDMA?
if all else fails just run a RUU to get things back to a functional state

I've tried wiping everything, flashing AOSP ROMs, Sense, all of them. I'm CDMA.
Something else: When I install 4EXT recovery, I can't boot into recovery. It gives me white screen reboots like in the OP. But when I'm on Clockworkmod, I can boot into recovery.
Gonna try a RUU when I get home :\
Did you do anything just before this started happening? For instance, did this problem start immediately after you tried to flash a new rom?
I'd be really interested as to why you were able to get it to boot by putting the SD card in mid-boot. I honestly have no idea if an SD card is required for an android phone to boot (never had a need to try). Are the connections on your SD card, or that port, somehow degraded or dirty?
the card is not needed, all boot relevant info is in the phone itself.
it's unlikely that the problem is in the card slot, I would have to assume that the problem is software related, maybe it's trying to read some data it doesn't have access to? mind you it still wouldn't hurt to try and check the card for errors (an external card reader would come in handy)
ok, just out of curiosity, when you go into CWM and clear: cache then dalvik then cache and data, do u get an error after it's done?
how'd the RUU go?
Hi, this is my first thread.. I'm from Argentina so i'm sorry for my bad english..
I've problems with my atrix ATT.
Since a week i've been tried with GB roms and ICS, JB, but yesterday, I realise that couldn't erase anything, i tried to erase internal memory from the phone, even from the computer.. It looks like it makes the erase, but when I rebooted the phone, everything it's like before..
I tried Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, and when i reboot, again, nothing happened.. It's just like before was.. I tried erase with scripts, with fastboot, but nothing.. I tried to flash some rom's again but i couldn't..The phone flash the roms, but when it starts, it starts like before, nothing changes.. The phone is working, and fine, but, i can't change roms or put files into the internal memory because when i unplugged the phone from the computer, the files are not there.. It's like the internal memory is in only read mode or i don't know..
When i tried to restore my nandroid (in other times it worked fine) when must to restore data it says Error while formatting /data! .. I tried from advanced in format data, but it says Error formatting /data.. I know that i can't flash the original firmware because i've unlocked the bootloader, so I beg you for a solution.
I really would appreciate your answers, and more if they are in basic english... hahaha
PD: i think it's in the correct section, i apologize if it's not there..
Root?

Do you have root access? and if so your apps may be stored on your sd card wich would cause them to stay after a data wipe.
fastboot erase everything except radio , including sdcards and do frash nandroid . Maybe it could help !

I tried with fastboot, but nothing happens either ..
It seems very likely this is a hardware failure. Not sure there's anything you can do, other than send it in for repairs...
In which case they will very likely either replace the motherboard or just give you a new phone, in both cases you might end up with a nonunlockable BL.
Sucks, I know.

i'm looking everywhere for a solution, but don't find it.. My warranty is void now, and a change of mother board would be too expensive I think.. I know that this is crazy (having an unlocked atrix 2.3.6), but i think that i don't have other option that trying to flash the .sbf 2.3.6
Do you know someone who did that?

I am having this exact same problem
Epinter cm10
cannot format, cannot flash, errors while booted up
It looks like a problem with mounting data drive, or some problem with the data portion itself.
When i wipe, nothing happens, if I try wiping individual drives, I get errors when trying to wipe /data and /cache.
If I try rebooting into fastboot, it wont detect it on my PC (and it seems to get stuck at starting protocols on my phone).
All in all, I have no idea what the solution is, or even the problem... but this certainly doesnt sound good :/

I've been trying with many things, I can use the phone, but i can't save anything.. I tried deleting the partitions by adb but, when I did that, the partitions don't change.. Like you said, i don't know very good what is the problem and less the solution.. I hope someone help us.. If i find a solution, i'm gonna post it here.. please do the same if you fix the problem.
I read the wonderful "Don't Panic" sticky, but I think I need a more drastic fix.
SHORT VERSION:
TWRP keeps saying, "Unable to mount /sdcard", and "unable to mount internal storage". I can't boot past the HTC screen, and my attempts to flash a ROM have failed due to those errors.
LONG VERSION:
I tried using TWRP 2.2.1 and Cyanogenmod 10 today, my first time flashing a custom ROM.
My phone (HTC EVO 4G LTE) was already rooted using the plain ol' HTC bootloader unlocking method.
I booted into recovery and performed a backup first. That appeared to go okay, and verified a backup existed on my external SD card.
I booted back into the OS and used ROM Toolbox to download the ROM and gapps thingy, wiped the cache and dalvik's cache. The phone rebooted and started wiping the cache and stuff. I went away for a bit.
When I came back thirty or so minutes later, the phone was all black. No lights at all despite being plugged into the AC adapter.
I came back about thirty minutes after that, and the same thing. I rebooted. The phone went to the HTC screen and then blacked out again. I rebooted into recovery. I figured the ROM didn't get flashed right, so I went to flash it again. I used the file manager in TWRP and saw that the directories /sdcard /sdcard2 and /sd-ext were completely empty, except /sdcard had a TWRP directory, which was empty. I didn't see any of my storage!
I set up ADB on my Mac and tried mounting my sdcard. No dice. I tried using fastboot to flash a ROM. Everytime I tried to do that, I got an error in TWRP, "unable to mount /sdcard", "unable to mount internal storage". I tried using fastboot to flash the .zip on my Mac, and tried using "adb put" to move the .zip to the phone and install from there. Same result.
Any ideas?

this seem to becoming a more frequent problem maybe something TWRP is responsible for i came to this same obstacle when trying to flash a new rom like a week ago. i tried all the nifty moves i could but no luck even went to sprint looking for answers ultimately i was forced to format (with windows) both internal and external SD. end result. yep u got it i lost everything almost 26gigs of music and files i had backed up no where else. so i formatted (heart broken) got over it now i back up files daily on my laptop thats the only way ive come to see out of this one. but check around forums a solution might work for i saw a couple didnt work for me tho.
JB ROMs rewrites the addresses of your SD cards, good chance the internal is corrupted. Boot to recovery and go to mount/mount USB storage, if you have windows then as soon as you plug it in windows will tell you to reformat, if you have Mac or Linux manually reformat the card
Thanks for the replies, guys.
Tried reformatting, but that didn't seem to help. On #twrp on freenode, they said it looked from my recovery.log that the internal and sdcard storage is hosed, and the maintainer of TWRP said to RUU back to stock. SIGH. . . .
So, since I don't have Windows at work, going to try these at home tonight:
(Great. Was trying to post links, but wasn't allowed. Suffice it to say, I was going to post my recovery.log link and the links to the instructions I am going to follow to RUU back to stock.)
Well that sucks, I'm lucky that I haven't hosed my emmc yet. I can't decide whether to stay on aosp or not, must have flashed back and forth a million times by now
Argh!
I have tried every RUU scenario I can find, and remain unable to mount my sdcard or my internal storage, have no ROM, am contemplating getting drunk. Anyone have any other ideas?
Anyone know if Sprint will fix this, or should I just cash in on my phone replacement plan?
I'd like to know what happened to mess this up so I can avoid it next time. What must have happened for my internal storage to not only be wiped -- I think I get that part -- but why can't it be mounted???? I don't get it.

If you're able to access bootloader, you can recover from this issue(been there myself). You'll end up losing all your ad card stuff but you'll be back up and running. Download the newly released 3.15.651.16 RUU, get into bootloader on phone, set it to fastboot, connect to computer, relock your bootloader (it can be unlocked after ruu app), run the RUU, and you should be back and can reunlock and install custom Roms etc.

I had backed up my sdcard so I didn't really care about not losing it. I think the problem was at least partially caused by having it encrypted.
I ended up flashing to stock and it let me format the sdcard from within the phone - that did it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

This just advice just saved my life. I thought for sure I bricked my phone, and right before memorial day weekend toooo! I did run into issue with the latest Lollipop RUU. I had to resort to using the old Kit Kat RUU I had saved to my computer from before. It worked like a charm.
Trying to install MeanBean...I updated the Firmware to the latest, have the phone unlocked and rooted (it says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED in the recovery screen) and did a factory reset. I have TWRP installed and can still get to the TEAMWIN RECOVERY project interface...
I was installing MeanBean and it just stuck on about 75% and stayed there. I waited for about ten minutes and figured something must have gone wrong so I didn't really have a choice but to shut it down. After starting back up when I tried to install again it said "FAILED" in red letters. I decided to re-download the ROM but now when I mount the SD CARD from within the recovery menu (to transfer the new file) my computer says that I must format the drive before I can use it and won't let me see the contents of the sd-card. I didn't want to do that for fear of bricking...so I don't really know what to do from here. I should add that I don't have a backup made in TWRP (I got the phone yesterday and hadn't installed or done anything to the OS)
Anyone know what should be done at this point?
thx
I'm updating this for anyone else who runs into issues like this: I went ahead and formatted the SD card from within windows, then relocked the phone, reinstalled the RUU and I'm back in a workable mode

I had the exact same problem. I just reformatted the internal storage and that fixed a lot of my issues. I can't however get the RUU to work. Can't seem to find my phone, neither can HTC Sync. Is this just a problem caused by MeanBean? I use to run MeanBean but then switched to CM10 for a few months and was going to switch back. Never had an issue like this before.
Hi, wanna make this quick and short as possible.
Im new here, and I need help on my new phone.
yesterday, I got a Lenovo A369i phone that happens to be a secondary phone for me. So as advntureous as I can be, I tried doing what some of my friends do... Custom Roms. Im not a pro in regards with these stuff, but I aint no noob too, Im a bit literate bout these, but not knowledgable enough to fix this.
so heres what. Phone is Lenovo A369i.
Build no : A369I_ROW_Lite_S005_140823
Android 4.2.2
Rooted and Stock ROM atm.
I came across a site, lenovoa369iblogspot.com, and saw lots of Custom Roms and whatnot and saw a easy way to root and flash my device w/o pc. Using Framaroot to root and MobileUncle Tool for TWRP recovery then installation of my desired ROM. I followed the steps correctly, was able to ROOT(i had SuperSU and was able to use Root-Required apps) and had access to TWRP.
Now, it was instructe to wipe cache and factory reset, which failed at first(but I didnt noticed it caused I acidentally pressed back, and thought it was successful) then I continued installing my ROM(it was a Samsung S5 ROM) it started OK, until it was extracting, then it stopped. At first I thought it hanged, but it just got screen timeout. I left it there for 30mins and I thought it was done. Upon reboot, I noticed nothing changed and speculated something went wrong. So i browsed the web for other ways to install and flash my phone cause I thought it just didnt work. I tried getting a stock rom with build no. S110 and tried some ROMs too but cant get it to work. I also tried switching to CW and TWRP v.v. but cant seem to update/install it, until I noticed that I cant wipe my cache, data or anything on my phone through recovery at all. I can still access my External SD car, cause that where all the ROMs are placed, but as i try each ROM, there would be a bunch of errors like E: cant mount emmc, cant mount sdcard, cant mount cache etc etc. So even I cant do factory reset cause itll say it Failed. Maybe its the reason why I cant install those ROMs. I tried unrooting, no good. I tried to update the software through settings, but after download, it still goes through TWRP/CW and still cant install together with the cant mount errors. I tried the MOUNT on TWRP but i xant mount anything except for the External SD card. It says on the emmc "Emmc=0bytes" like there wasnt an internal storage to begin with. And its really frustrating cause I cant even do a factory reset even through settings, it still redirects me to Recoery Mode. Tried using TWRP/CW and even android stock recovery and to no avail. Funny thing is, I can sill access the memory, I can format the Phone Storage(1gb) and still have the internal storage(1.2gb) for a total of 2.2gb(even tho it says 4gb in the box, I think 2.2gb is the only usable memory) I can still access its file, save and do stuff. Heck, theres nothing actually wrong in my phone, all features are still there BUT I cant make a Factory Wipe cause of that Mounting Error. I want to fix this so I could finish installing the ROM i wanted and I also want to be able to factory wipe my phone incase I do something else stupid.
I really dont know what to do, its been hours since I started looking this up. I also fried flashing it on PC but it wont succeed cause when i start flashing, even tough it "kinda" detects my phone, the Flash Tool still shows my emmc=0.00 bytes. I dont know if this happened when ai was starting to root my phone or during the initial installation of the ROM, so I rally dont know what to do or think of. So I resorted to ask the real pros for help, cause I get OCD on these kind of stuff and I cant sleep or do anything until i figure this out or find a way.
Hope someone an help me. Thnks!
P.S., i dont have access to my PC right now, so I only have my other phone and tab. Im also not much well versed in advanced programming whatnot, I only know a few basics so please spare my brain on codes XD I need something in english if thats ok Thanks!
P.P.S. Sorry if this is not the appropriate place to post, feel free to move it if needed. And I also tried posting on the site where I got the ROMs and stuff, but Im afraid the last post was like months ago so I cant really hope for them to help me.
