Hi guys, first of thanks for taking the time to consider helping me.
Basically, last night randomly my g1 just switched off. When i try to boot up, goes to g1 screen, then boot image, then blank screen.
Boot into recovery, and it doesnt register i have an sd card in it, i wanted to wipe and reflash cm, or nandroid restore. - but cant do either as it doesnt think i have an sd card inserted.
Any ideas how to fix?
Many thanks
Try mounting it on your computer, copying everything over and formatting. You can either put the card in an external reader or try to mount it via usb in recovery using 'ums_enable' and 'ums_disable'.

thanks Adrian. it wont let me mount it though, because it doesnt recognice that there is an sd card inserted. iv tried 3 different sd card, and it doesnt recognice that any of them have been inserted, so i figure its not my sd. :/

Hmmm... I guess the only thing left to try is formatting it externally and trying again.

righto. urm, noob question, is it possible to apply an update.zip via a different method? since its not recognising sd cards, can i flash a different way? thanks

i think an sdcard is necessary to apply an update.zip .. however if you have access to a nandroid backup you could fastboot flash the system, data, and boot .img's without an sdcard

Do a search in android development. It should be under Nandroid backup.
Basically you boot into fastboot and do these commands via adb:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot.
Look for the thread, though. It's been a while since I've used fastboot.

Using fastboot you can flash each part seperatly via usb, problem is ROMs are never distributed as seperate img's, just one update.zip. Buuuuuuut if your sd card will mount in your computer and you can find your nandroid folder, you will see that they are saved as multiple img's.
Once you have fastboot set up (instructions here) put the boot .img in the same directory as the fastboot executable. Boot the phone in to the SPL (home + camera) and enable fastboot. Then 'cd' to the fastboot directory in the command prompt or terminal (depending on OS) and type:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
If you're on a unix based OS, you maybe need to put a './' before that command.
Afterwards reboot your phone using 'fastboot reboot' (again you may need the './').
thanks guys i really apreciate this. il report back after iv had a go.
Almost forgot, make sure you clear the cache and data partitions first:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

I wiped my system because there was something wrong with the hero theme i was running. i booted back up and after i booted into the phone, i cant boot into the home screen, it boots for some reason into lock 2.0 and i didnt choose that as a default, why is it doing this? im running the dude's cupcake beta 12 and app2sd
Don't know...Never heard that occur before. I suggest a reflash of the ROM or even a e2fsck of the filesystems.
i hate when this stuff happens at work where my computer blocks me from plugging in something to the usb port so i have to wait until i leave

e2sfck? whats that?
Checking of EXT filesystems...Do you have cyanogen's latest recovery? 1.3.1?
no, i couldnt figure out how to install it, but i believe i put it in the appropriate place on the sd card to install it, can i put it up through the recovery console?
Depends, did you download the .zip version, or the .img version? If you have the .zip .. Go to recovery console and:
Code:
mount /sdcard
cd /sdcard
mv cm-recovery-1.3.1-signed.zip update.zip
recovery
Then you can try flashing it. CM Recovery also lets you mount your phone via USB, so if you need to reflash and don't have an image on your phone, drop to the recovery and run
Code:
ums_enable
Copy file to your card, eject on the PC
ums_disable
recovery
If you downloaded the .img version of the recovery, I'm not sure that it can be flashed without getting into the main OS. What happens when you try to unlock Lock 2.0? You didn't really say..
my problem is i put encryption on my htc one but could not get rid of it no matter what i did so i wipe every single thing from the recovery so now there notting on my phone what so ever, when i try to mount sd card now it just wont mount there no error message notting from recovery, is there any way in fixing this.... im using clockworkmod 6.0.3.0??
thanks

you can try fastboot erase userdata
or fastboot -w
after that use adb push to get a ROM onto your sd card
or use adb sideload to push a rom and install.

i have not flashed a rom yet and the stock rom works fine i just cant access sdcard
do i need to flash a rom?
which one? a stock one or a custom one?
stock one
okay
i cant access the sd card to copy a rom to
on the laptop the phone comes up like normal. click on it internal storage comes up like normal. but inside the internal storage folder has a folder called storage. inside that is emulated. inside that is legacy. inside that is the normal file structure.
windows errors when trying to copy files anywhere inside the internal storage folder
when in the camera app on the phone it shows a black image and click on the gallery icon it says no sd card
its like the "sdcard" is unmounted. how do i mount it? ive tried CW recovery and TWRP
try sideloading the ROM, there should be an option for adb sideload and use the command adb sideload romName.zip
is there an adb command to mount sdcard?

there should be in one of the recovery menus
This is exactly what has happened to my phone, and there seems to be more thread cropping up about this.
I can see in TWRP recovery there is an SDCard but cant do anything with it. I can flash a rom via sideload (hardly flashes, my lack of understanding) and from OTG USB in Recovery but there will be no installed rom once done, or at least it wont boot.
Same thing in CWM except that recovery can not see the SDCard so no mounting.
I am using clockworkmod recovery but I cannot mount storage. Am I missing something? Drivers in place. Fastboot abd both work. But I cannot mount the storage. I am not new to this just new to the phone.

When you hit the mount button should the storage show up as a drive? It worked on my old phone with external storage. What am I doing wrong?

Doesn't work for phones with internal storage from recovery, cannot mount in recovery. Something to do with how internal storage works with the MTP

Thank you for the reply. I had a friend bring over his phone that was only booting to bootloader and had no ROM's in storage. I managed to get it back by fastboot flashing a boot.img from the viper ROM that was installed on his phone before. Normally I would have just copied a good ROM to the storage through recovery and flashed it. Afterwords I made a backup and warned him not to delete it.
Thanks again everyone for all the support this site provides!

If you need to send a rom or anything to your internal storage from recovery just do : adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/

Easiest way is to get a 4 $ OTG cable from Amazon and a SanDisk 16 GB USB stick. Then choose in recovery 'install zip from external SD card'
I also keep a Nandroid on there. In recovery there is the option 'back up to external SD card'
Really gives a peace of mind!

I've been reading this "[ROOT] H872 (up to and including 20g)" thread and came to an step where i require SD Card to flash TWRP, my device fails to format it, i can't use SD Card, anyway to flash it would OTG do the trick?

You've already figured it out by now I'm sure after this long but posting in case anyone else comes across your issue. You can push the recovery over to the phone after formatting it. Open terminal in the directory you've downloaded the recovery to and
adb push recovery-name.img /sdcard/recovery-name.img
Then obviously, you'll find the recovery image in your sd card directory on your phone and can flash it from there.
