So I just got back from a trip to Vegas, went to upgrade MeanROM from 6.3 to 6.5, and then my SD card would not mount and my internal storage is not showing. I've tried numerous things to try and fix this, by mounting SD and formatting it (Fat32, quick format off), unplugging and plugging in the SD Card, using a different one. No matter what I do, using TWRP 2.1.8 doesn't recognize the SD card and gives a repeated
E: failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument).
E: Unable to mount /sdcard
Any tips?
Old Twrp ya got....use Goomanager and update...see if that might fix it
Can't even get GooManager to put anything in system cause it defaults to SD card
?? Goomanager install the recovery to the boot partition...you did click menu/ Install OpenRecoveryScript ???
Try flashing CWM recovery and seeing if that helps? My first guess would be to format your internal but since you've already done that I would default to blaming TWRP

CMW is known to damage misc partitions
I just had a similar problem and the only lasting solution was to relock the bootloader, RUU, and reroot. It's easy and the newest RUU isn't difficult to reroot.
I was able to reformat in the internal SD a few times using a PC (before I ran the RUU that is) but it only lasted a reboot or two before re-corrupting. I wish I had just RUU'd from the beginning and not wasted effort with all the reformatting.
I'm a relative noob with just enough luck and knowledge to be very dangerous to a working evo 4g lte.
I'm s-on, unlocked, hboot 1.19, twrp 2.4.4.0. Can not locate recovery image file. Uncertain of root status with superSU 1.25.
I was attempting to update rom to OMJ Aroma v3.4 from stock 4.1.1. Seemed the rom was going to work, then started rebooting at splash screen
Excessive tinkering now leaves me in need of help from you guys.
EDIT: While in TWRP, hit "factory reset" and "wipe data" under the pretense of making a clean install. I suppose that would explain why i have no OS. Additionally, attempts at installing one now fail due to "unable to mount /sd card" ??
I'm thoroughly lost at this point.
What do I need to do to get an OS working and end the boot loop?
Download a Rom and install it with twrp. Wipe caches first though.
Otherwise restore the backup you first made.
Worst case you may have to transfer them over from a computer now.

Part of your problem is that you're S-on. You either need to fastboot flash the kernel or flash a ROM that has a kernel installer for S-on users.

I have attempted to install the OMJ ROM that is on my external sd through TWRP. I select the zip, it loads the optional mod selections, and then begins the extract/install process. However, it reboots to the htc splash screen with red dev warning, holds there a moment, then reboots again to TWRP.

Do you mean restore through TWRP? No restore files show up when using the Restore function in TWRP.
While I am able to explore the external storage in TWRP (sdcard, sdcard2, etc) I am unable to select "use internal storage". I don't know if it is relevant, but there is a back up copy of the TWRP backups on the external sdcard. But, I haven't found a way to make TWRP go to them.
I've found the following in the TWRP log:
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder.

Any recommendations on a suitable ROM that will accomplish this?
I thought the OMJ ROM was going to be good to go.

MeanBean or ViperROM. I've used both Just make sure you read the OP for whichever ROM you decide to use so you'll understand how the kernel installer works.

Thank you for the recommendation. I am up and running once again!
I downloaded the MeanBean and then copied the files to the external directory still accessible by recovery. I ran the install from TWRP and the process seemed to be working properly. From the directions I knew an additional install would be needed.
Even so, i didn't get the impression it was going to properly install. It showed an error mounting internal memory during the process and I began searching for additional remedies...
Then... the system rebooted, and there was the MeanScreen...
Thank you again.
And now, i'll be researching the s-off options. Well, maybe after I relax a bit after the near brick.

If you are s-on flash meanbean or viper, but first try to downgrade twrp, what rom are you trying to install and what version of twrp are you using?
Sent from my Evo 4G LTE
Hello all,
I have run in to some issues with my phone today, and have spent several hours trying out different things, and reading through the forums.
My phone is unlocked, s-on, and have had no problem loading multiple different ROMs in the past. The most recent ROM I was using was Carbon 1.7. It had been working well for the most part, periodically the phone would restart itself, but I didn't really consider that an issue.
Today though, I was taking a photo with the phone, and it restarted itself. Upon the restart, it became stuck at the HTC boot logo. Once I got home I investigated it some more, and figured I'd try and just wipe the cache/dalvik, and this is where I came to realize I might be in a big mess than originally thought.
I'm not able to wipe the cache, dalvik, system, or anything. I try to flash a ROM, and it seems to work, and since i'm S-On, I try to load the boot image with Hasoon's All in One Kit, but still stuck at the boot logo. I try to do a full wipe from within the ROM when install, and also tried a full wipe with Super Wipe, but no luck.
This is what I'm seeing (I've tried using TWRP, CWM, EXT, and all come up with something similar):
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to mount '/devlog'
E: Unable to mount '/emmc'
E: Unable to mount '/emmc'
E: Unable to mount internal storage
I've racked my brain as much as I possibly can. I consider myself a noob when it comes to most of this stuff still, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
I recently sold my amaze to a coworker and over the weekend if started doing the same thing i spent all night trying to figure it out... I did a full wipe except sd and it wouldn't recognize the sd card. It was running cm10.1

S-Off your amaze. Then apply a stock RUU. I had to downgrade to GB to recover my phone. Android 4.1.x and 4.2.x roms tend to have this bug of partition corruption with our phones.
Fix internal storage error
If you wipe or factory reset it from the bootloader, it may kill the internal storage partition. Just connect USB, go into recovery, unmount and remount USB storage, it will recognize the internal storage and say its unformatted. Then format it as fat32. Then you can do a wipe and reimage. Thanks to OM4 from XDA for posting this. Worked for me!!

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

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.
