Hi guyz,
i think i have just semi bricked my device.
I cant access my sdcard partition and OS T~T..i do think my sd card partition is messed up i cant mount it to my pc. plus, i accidently formatted my sd card and wipe everything including /system, so theres isnt any customrom.zip file in my sd card nor i can boot into my OS
Currently i only have access to fastboot command via HBOOT 1.28 (Unlocked via HTC-Dev) S-ON and CWM Recovery.
Is there at least something i can to to at least get custom rom into my /sdcard? Or do i need to reinstall stock RUU? How should i do that
:crying:.help
What rom u on? Is it rooted?

re lock your phone and then reinstall from RUU file. This has worked for me.

It, was rooted, HBOOT 1.28 Unlocked(HTC-Dev) with S-ON. I successfully installed this ROM yesterday:
[ROM] [11.04.2012] ICS 4.0.3 no Sense V1.1/ HTC Sensation XL
But then after installing the ROM, when i mount my sd card, the size of the sd-card shown was like only 600kb-800kb. I thought that ROM might messed up with my sd partition already, so i was like formatted every partition including /data, /cache, /system, /sdcard
Now i cannot even enter my ROM since i've already formatted /system on my phone, and the sdcard partition is still mess up, which i could not even it to mount the sdcard partition on my PC.

How do you do that? My phone currently is S-ON, so i could not possibly do supercid method since supercid method requires phone to be S-OFF.
And to get S-OFF i need to be able to successfully boot into ROM.
My phone variant is HTC_044 (asian variant i think) and i cant seem to find RUU that is compatible to that variant. Does RUU requires stock recovery? i dont have stock recovery on my phone. how am i suppose to do this installation. Any tutorial please :crying:

Download from here new CWM. In this recovery, mounting sd-card is working perfect.
Now you can easy put rom.zip to sd and install it. If you didn't see your sd-card after install read my guide about it. (Link in signature).

Hi, ive read that too yesterday, but im kinda stuck on the adb line since adb line will only work on a successful booted ROM, but i then i cannot do that, since i formatted my partition:
Code:
adb push hboot_7230ddr2_Runnymede_6.25.4444.nb0 /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot_7230ddr2_Runnymede_6.25.4444.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# exit
$ exit
adb reboot-bootloader
i do only have access to fastboot command and CWM only currently. and my phone is still S-ON. I can't also get S-OFF because S-OFF also require me to use adb command in the ROM OS interface.
-------------------------
to push in vold.fstab like the one in ur post also require successful ROM boot..T~T..goshh i do think my phone condition is quite bad now

Install recovery image from there site on fastboot mode. (power + vol down).
Boot in to recovery your phone.
Connect it to pc and use mount/mount usb.
Copy rom.zip to your sd-card.
install it on recovery.

i could not install recovery via fastboot. it gives me 'signature verify fails'...just like i said before..i cannot access the OS, so i cannot do the ADB function

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If you do fastboot should not be checking the sig. Anyway you don't need to be booted to use adb. You can use adb from recovery.

Seriously??? i really dont know about this..goshhh..too bad..actually it was my friend's phone..he couldnt wait for a while for solution to come out (i do understand his feeling though)..he already sent it to repair for $75..if i do know that adb can be used in recovery earlier, he shouldnt have wasted that $75
Thanks though =D
on my way to brick
I have kinda a similar prob ...Still cant seem to fix it ..
long story short , in the long struggle to have a rooted sxl
unlocked bootloader , flashed CWM recovery , installed this rooted rom using (install zip from sdcard) via CWM v5.8.3.1 , and Yobey rooted phone ...
but this didn't last , as the phone storage showed a total space of only 236 kb _ some of the apps on the sdcard were still running though , and the CWM could load the buckup from sdcard _..
1-I tried formating the Sdcard via CWM , and still 236 kb , _and ofcourse the running apps and the backups are gone _
2-then tried formating the sdcard with my computer (yes the silly right click and then format !) , _and so became unable to even mount nor format /sdcard in CWM ..
summery:
Current status : bootloader unlocked ,running rooted rom , S-off , HBOOT-6.28.6666 , RADIO-3831.16.00.16_M , CWM recovery v5.8.3.1
Problems : Error mounting /sdcard! , phone storage 236kb total .
it seems like I'm going 90 miles per hour on a straight road to a bricked phone , would love a detour ,thanks.
p.s. found some threads talking about resizing Data.img as a solution to similar prob couldn't do this though

Your prob was easy to fix. Just edit the vold.stab file (how to do it is on my signature). Now you need to format sdcard to ext3 or 4 dont remember now.

how can I format it to ext3 or 4 ,I tried this thread and no use the partition tool also showed about 250 total space and only NFTS format option for it , tried cmd
Code:
fastboot format /sdcard
and no use
I formated system and data and tried to flash a new .zip rom via cmd ..and no longer have rom... I'm going to let my semi-brick be for a while and comeback later maybe with a clearer head .
thanks for your help
Connect phone to PC.
Start recovery on phone.
Chose mount sdcard.
To format for ext partition i'm using this EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition.
later go to recovery again and format sdcard there.
Now you can easy put rom.zip to sdcard.

thanks for this thread, glad to say it's It's back to life .
When I try to install a zip from the Internal SD card(phone memory) it will not work and fail to install all the time.
Message I get: E: Cant open/emmc/File name(bad) Installation aborted.
The android in the background is looking dead and has a red triangle coming out of its main compartment.
What is the problem that wont let it install?
Are you using cwm? If so it corrupts partitions.....should have switched to twrp
EDIT whoops didn't read that you had CWM.... CWM corrups partitions which is why everyone uses WCX or TWRP recoveries...... You should have switched recoveries

You still can. Flash a new recovery (wcx recommended). Boot to recovery and try to mount whichever storage volume is you fits and windows should prompt you to format, which you'll need to do
Yea we really need to get can removed from xda. The Chinese ported their own version of cwm I wonder if it corrupts too?

Ok i got it on my Vivid the WCX but when I try to use the internal storage it still does not let me install the root. Do I need S-off?
No.. Put your ROM zip on external storage. Boot to wcx recovery and Mount internal storage to your computer and format it. Then reinstall the rom

Do you have rooted your phone?
You must root, install Universal Kernel Flasher and try again.

Good Morning everyone,
I haven't been able to get an answer in the forum related to this question
I keep reading TUTO in order to custom my new Mi5, and everywhere it is written :
Download the ROM
Put the zip files on your SDCard
Reboot in Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Select "Install zip from SDCard"
Flash
BUT, Mi5 does not support SDCard. How could I put it into it ?
Thanks,
Laurent

You can flash custom rom by going to recovery and select install zip from adb sideload.
Now, adb command prompt and type "adb devices" and press enter, it will recognize your device and then type "adb sideload (your_rom_name.zip)" and press enter it will flash zip file in your device......
[emoji117] NOTE:- Before performing any above steps you must have adb drivers installed in your pc..

Your phone does have SD Card. An internal one. Well, a partion of your internal storage is emulated as SDcard and mounted as /SDCard0

You don't need to boot your phone to copy the rom zip from your PC. You can do it while you are in recovery via MTP file transfer.

Thank you for your quick reply, but I have an issue.
I cannot find the folder /SDCard0 in my phone system. I have only /SDCard, which go directly to my internal storage.
FYI: I use TWRP 3.0.2

/SDCard or /SDCard0 makes no difference. Your internal storage it's seen by system as an SDCard. Copy there your rom. Zip and flash it. Those tutorials you are talking about are made with assumption that you download the rom zip on your PC. You can download those roms right on your phone using your phone browser. Like this it's much easier and you'll skip Step 2 the step that got you confused.
