Wanted to pull this out of the newbie thread, not because it doesn't belong there (i'm certainly still an XDA newb) but because hold IRC-chat is it hard to keep up with all those posts...guess I'm too much of a noob for the newbie post?
TL;DR:
My TF700T has TWRP functioning, but no Android OS installed. Unfortunately TWRP doesn't seem to recognize anything in the USB/SD card ports. See below for what I've tried.
Full Story:
I was trying the whole new ROM on my tablet (ASUS TF700T) thing. I have the recovery part setup just fine TWRP, but I made the foolish mistake of wiping the ENTIRE internal storage, including my backup.
Certainly not a good start, but easy enough to put the new image (I was going for crombie-kk) on an SD card & load from that, except for my problem.....
TWRP doesn't seem to notice my SD Card (or USB) storage devices. It lists "external storage" as one would expect, but it's always 0MB and no files, regardless of whether a device attached. I know the devices are good, and I know the USB & SD card ports were working the day I started the rooting/romming process--so i'm reluctant to think they coincidentally died that exact day.
I've tried SD cards (both full & micro) in both SD card slot & USB port, as well as USB sticks of varying sizes. I've even tried various file formats on these storage devices, but I can't get anything other than 0MB.
Any advice on how to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING, on my device? Obviously a custom ROM is the goal but even if I could go back to a stock device--at least the external storage would work and I could go from there!
Thanks for the help in advance

If I understand your problem corectly you have to go into Recovery and mount your sd card first.
I'n not sure where in the TWRP recovery exactly is but there is surely a menu 'mount'.
In there you have to mount your sd card first.
Hope it solve your problem.

I should have mentioned that. I have tried mounting (under the "mount" menu), it lists "Micro SDcard" as an option, but won't select (it just flashes & stays unchecked) when I attempt to select it.
Thanks for pointing that out though.
See if you can adb push a rom zip to the internal storage.

I don't think I can, "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" does not seem to see my table, when it is attached to the computer. I went to "Mount" --> "ADB Sideload" so the tablet is "listening" for the adb push....but as I said, adb.exe cannot see my tablet
So did I brick this tablet beyond repair?
Is there anything I can do?
What about factory reset?
HALP!
And thanks, for everything I've gotten so far and hopefully everything to come.
Factory reset won't help in this situation at all.

I don't have an SD card in my phone, but when I go to an app like Aldiko(book reader) and try to access a file, I'm able to explore higher level directories than normal. When I first browse for a file I'm in the area that my phone calls internal storage, but if I go one level higher I see that its actually mounted under the name SD card... What's going on? Why does this app see it as an SD card and why is it mounted as an SD card?
just like the samsung galaxy s phones, the 16gb internal storage is considered 'sdcard' to the system. your external sd is called sd-ext i believe
Wait, so if a tutorial says something will be written to your SD card, should you assume internal storage if you don't have one and external if you do have one? I was looking at the tutorial here: [it won't let me post the link because I'm a new user... google this and its the first result: "how to fully backup and restore your android"]
and it said "This image will be written to your SD card which you are then free to copy around and back up on your computer."
well. this phone isnt like a lot of other android phones. like the galaxy S line, there is more onboard storage than what prior phones had. a lot of the older phones came with 512mb/1gb/2gb/4gb of onboard storage that the OS resided on, and you had to add an sdcard to give yourself enough storage for music/pictures/backups/etc
i suspect you will see a lot more of this same thing in the future as flash memory gets cheaper and cheaper, and manufacturers begin putting more and more storage on board.
as for your link, you do realize that the atrix isnt like ANY of those other phones listed as examples?
nandroids dont work quite the same with the atrix

you cannot flash CWM recovery on the atrix like you can a lot of other devices (for which that article was written for)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143
I'm having some trouble with that. I'm going to continue with this question in this thread even though the topics changed, let me know if you want me to make a new thread.
The first thing I did after installing the CWM recovery for the atrix app was click the install recovery button. It said install successful. I assume this made a backup image of my phone's ROM. Then I clicked recovery mode and I tried booting holding the down key and selecting fastboot. I also tried some other options like RSD... I think I'm missing something though because the screen just got stuck on the "starting fastboot" line and I had to remove the battery each time it gets stuck to reboot it.
I have CWM v5 newly installed. I immediately ran a backup with it and all went well. Now, a little later, I've been looking into CyanogenMod and wanted to tiny baby steps so I was nice and confident with things.
I tried to do another backup from CWM and it said it couldn't mount /sdcard. I tried to restore and the same error. Rebooted a few times and it's the same still.
I booted normally and checked with a standard file manager and /sdcard was fine. I haven't changed anything since the time it was working but I still seem to have broken things
What can I do?
EDIT: Actually, since getting CWM on the device, I have played a little with ADB commands and replaced the bootanimation.zip. Everything works when the phone is booted normally so that can't have caused it. Can it?
You really like new threads eh?
I presume you don't have a physical micro SD card, and you've changed kernels again at some point. Now the sdcard mentioned in newer CWM recovery is the external_sd, which you don't have. Use the internal SD card option.

I love them I do search before hand to see if there are similar threads relating to my device but because there aren't, I thought making a new thread per issue would be helpful. I can keep it all in this thread though if that's the etiquette around here though.
I used kTool to flash the zImage from the link you pointed out in my last thread, that gave me CF-Root v5 and CWM. I haven't changed anything since that point so if it worked once, I don't understand why it won't work again. You have confused me about the sdcard/external_sd. I have a card in the device, and everything normally saves to /sdcard but there's also /sdcard/external_sd which is always empty. I also see /sdcard/usbStorage where I have put some files too, but I don't really understand the naming conventions.
As I said, look for the "internal sd card" option in CWM recovery.
I'll add a bit more in the hope you don't need to keep posting.
If you don't have a physical micro SD card in your phone and you try to use any of the "install/backup/restore to/from sdcard" in newer versions of CWM recovery, it will give an error about being unable to mount /sdcard. Also, as far as I know, /sdcard/usbStorage refers to USB OTG, so unless you've got a USB OTG cable and a memory card/HDD plugged in, you shouldn't be writing files to that location.
Backed up successfully to internal sdcard, although I wasn't able to restore from it first which I don't understand because there should be the original one from earlier somewhere.
Turns out I was wrong, I don't appear to have a card in that SD slot even though I could swear there was one. And I can create files/folders in /sdcard/external_sd/ so I give up, lol.
EDIT: Nope, just the normal USB that came with the phone. I created the files/folders directly in the phone when I tested it.
Hi all
I have a Fujitsu ARROWS X F-05D, which running Android 2.3.5. It has 4GB internal storage and supports microSD card.
I tried to format the phone’s internal storage through Windows 7, the operation was failed during the formatting process. After that, I cannot access either the phone’s internal storage or micorSD card. Both of them show “Unavailable” under Settings Storage [Built-in storage] and [SD card]. The [Delete data in built-in storage], [Mount SD card] and [Erase SD card] were dimmed. I had performed a phone hard reset but the problem persists.
If I connect the phone with PC, windows can recognize there has USB mass storage attached and assigns two drive letters accordingly. However, if I want to access either of them, windows will ask to insert a storage media. In addition, the phone will not prompt to ask user to confirm connect the phone as a USB mass storage.
Without external storage, most apps cannot be functioned normally or simply can’t install at all. Could anyone please kindly advise how to fix it?
Regards,
Boy

Also reflashing the rom with a stock is not an option, as it requires the internal memory to do so.

I did solve the problem at last but unfortunately forget how to fix it since my handset was damaged by water linkage after a very short period.
I only remember the problem lies on the corruption of partition table. I replaced a file (sorry, forget what file again!) through adb. After reboot, the system prompts me something wrong in the partition table and asks me to format internal storage, after that. The device resumes normal.

Hello, I recently received a Nook Tablet with a major problem. It won't boot up. The best I can do is to get it to the TWRP menu. If I try to go past that it just goes to a black screen and I have to restart the device. I've tried looking online for a fix but came up empty. I would either like to restore the Nook to factory settings or restore the CyanogenMod OS. The TWRP screen says v2.1.4. When I go into the install menu I have two options cm-7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip and Gaps_and_root.zip. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, -Rob
More info please!
Is this new or a used device that you are trying to do something with? If so, what?
The CM7 leads me to believe it's a used one since CM10 is the ROM of choice at the moment for most.
What have you actually done, if anything, beside trying to boot?
I would suggest you browse through some topics here, because I'm pretty sure spending a little time will provide with several suggestions how to move forward.

It is used and has an 8gb flash card. When I originally got it I was able to get it to boot but I couldn't download any Apps because the Google Play wouldn't work and it gave a message "OTA Updater has stopped working". I've spent hours looking for a way to get it back to factory or to try and get it to work properly and have had no luck. Now I can't get it to boot up. I tried the Internal eMMC recovery option but it doesn't seem to be working. Could the MOUNT options be a problem? Currently "Unmount Cache", "Unmount Internal Storage", and "Using internal storage" is selected. I just want to get this tablet to work properly so I can download apps and use the Android OS as it was intended.
If I was you I would start over again with a "fresh" Tablet and do a completely new install. But that's me... I've given suggestions how to do that in several similar topics in this very forum. As I said, read the forum! I see several topic headlines that SHOULD catch your attention on this very forum page list!

I tried the acclaim restore per this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190 . It involved copying the .zip file to my SD and inserting it into the Nook. When I turned it on it was supposed to begin restoring the Nook to the factory OS. When I did it, the Cyanoboot went into "Loading recovery from eMMC". Not sure if it's not booting from the SD or not but I tried the usb to PC method.
I also attempted the AlbertWertz SD Root card, but when I try to write the .img file to my SD it said that there was insufficient space on disk. And I tried it with a 8gb and 16gb SD.
I then tried the do the CM10 install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626 . But my computer doesn't give me the option to format my SD w/ a partition.
I also tried to hold the Power+N 8x and it just goes back into the Cyanoboot menu.
I can't seem to find anyone with my exact problem. NT wont boot into OS, and no matter what I do it goes into the Cyanoboot menu.
Try the burning the "repart.img" in the topic I link to at the end of this post to an sd-card and boot into it. Unless you've managed to destroy some partition on the device in your attempts (and it doesn't sound as you've made enough progress to actually do that - sometimes lack of progress is good) . It's fully automatic and takes you back out of the box stock 1.4.0 (as I have told in several other topics the last few days).
Using this is far sefer than fiddling with CWM and what have you if you're not sure what you're doing!

Assuming you have a Windows PC/laptop, you can download and use this free disk partition tool: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html (just be careful apply it to the SD drive and not your PC/laptop hard drive).
Ok, without getting into the cascading series of screwiness along the way, I think I've managed to effectively brick my phone. I'm posting in hopes that the part of my brain screaming "No, you're missing something" is right.
e970, already rooted, running CyanogenMod 10.1 and TWRP 2.6.3.0. In pursuit of a "clean slate" to deal with remnants of sloppy uninstallations, I thought I'd clear everything with TWRP and just put CM back. So, I pulled out my SD card with my saved data, and had TWRP wipe everything, including the CM zip on the root of the built-in storage. I copied the newer CM and GAPPS to a spare SD card, plugged it in...
and I found the external SD card wasn't recognized by TWRP. There's only 1 storage location listed, which is the built-in area I just wiped.
I can't get the phone to be recognized by a desktop running Windows 8.1. I have freshly installed the drivers, downloaded the SDK, rebooted, etc. from that side. The phone is never recognized by either Windows or ADB. So, I dug out the laptop I originally installed CM from some time back (last year?). Same story - no Windows or ADB recognition.
Ok, fine - maybe the USB port is dying on me. I'll try formatting the SD card and see if that's the issue. FAT32, copy the files back, still no luck. Great. Maybe it's the card, so I copy my data and put the zips on the original card I had in the phone. Still no dice.
So, here I am. No OS installed, no image on the internal drive to recover from, TWRP won't recognize my external card(s), and I can't get anything to acknowledge the phone via USB to do a sideload.
Am I missing something, or did I completely hose myself?
I forgot to mention: I did try different cables and ports on both computers before arriving at the idea the e970 USB port may have having issues.
Have you tried a different SD card?
SD card have a finite lifespan, and I've seen them fail n the middle of normal use. The first thing I'd try would be a different SD.
If that doesn't work, you may have to just LGPNST back to bone stock.
(You may want to play with the "Partition SD Card" option under "Advanced" in TWRP. It'll wipe any data on the card so back up to your computer first, but this may kick the SD card into being recognized by the phone [though I dont know how windows would react to it])

I did, in fact. I tried it on a spare first, so I didn't have to worry about erasing the data on the SD card I pulled out of the phone. When that failed, I tried copying the zips onto my original card, which was also not picked up. I've found other posts on here that suggest this particular version of TWRP had issues reading external cards, but I don't see any way to get a different one on the phone at this point.

I might be missing the mark here, but wouldn't this format the already-empty internal storage (since it's the one selected) rather than the external card?

If you can boot the phone into fastboot (should be VOL UP + Power), you should be able to flash the recover that way with:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
You'll need to get the .img instead of a flashable zip obviously, but that can be done even by grabbing the "recovery.img" file from a flashable recovery zip.

I've honestly not messed with this option; I just know I've solved similar problems with flash drives in the past by formatting in different ways.

How is he going to do that? He can't get a PC to recognize the phone.
Maybe try a Linux box? You could make an Ubuntu live USB stick with some extra storage space on it, and try running adb from there.

There's a thought... I think I have a Knoppix disk around here that I could boot from. I don't have high hopes, since it's not being recognized by the laptop I did this on originally, but I'll give anything a shot at this point. I'll let you know how it goes.
No dice. ADB gives me the same response whether the phone is at the fastboot screen or the sideload inside TWRP.

Check ALL your cords
Another update. After presuming me e970 dead, going to Best Buy to shop for an AT&T Next upgrade, running the HTC One m8 for a couple days, I get a wild hair to try the HTC cord on the old phone. Oddly enough, it works and the phone was picked up immediately. I've already pushed CM over via adb, and and working on gapps now.
Apparently both of the cords I tried previously weren't up to spec for smartphone use. I'm going to have to come up with a labelling system on what's good for trickle charges and what's good for data.
I'm not sure what a return will do to my upgrade status, but I'd rather wait on a new phone. It even looks like I know what I'll get. Thanks for the ideas along the way.
Nice, glad you found a solution. Unless things have changed with the new plans, you should be OK to return the phone within 14 days and keep your upgrade.
