[Q] Can't mass storage after rooting/bootloader - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I've been stuck for hours now trying to install Android Revolution HD Rom.
So here is what I've done.
- Unlock Bootloader (HTCDEV)
- S-OFF (revone)
- Super CID
- Installed CWM
I think I installed firmware as well. (not sure what it was, friend told me to install it).
now when I tried to copy ROM file to phone. Can't copy.
CWM can't mount SD card.
Can't use camera and when I try to access gallery it says PLEASE INSERT AN SD CARD
Storage setting - USB storage unavailable. Can't click Mount USB Storage. Phone storage - unavailable.
I have tried searching MTP driver. I don't know what to do from here...
and now when I tried to do adb shell. It says error: device not found.
Also my phone now has WIFI error. Doesn't turn on at all.
All I want is to be able to copy files to phone storage and flash new ROM. Hopefully this will fix all the problems I have.
Please help..
Thanks a lot

I'm thinking possibly the firmware version is for 4.2.2, but your ROM is 4.1.2, hence the problems. Anyone else with more knowledge can confirm this?

with jellybean you dont have mass storage your options are adb sideload a rom to your phone or get a otg cable and load one that way

Got almost the same problem earlier today (not with CM though).
A restart solved that problem (for now). Have you tried that?

i tried it (restart) but its not working
Same error (Please Insert SD Card before using the camera.)
please help me friends .
Has there been any kind of notification telling you that your SD is corrupt?
Can you see your SD card in a file manager?
Do you even have an SD card? CM does the internal storage differently.

I'm surprised that Cyanogenmod install can be done without a physical external SD card.
It's mandatory to have an external SDcard to use Cynogenmod, even if your internal SDcard is empty.
There are complicated things to do as mentionned above to switch internal and external mounting points for Cyanogen but I can guess this can be tricky for someone not used to those things....
So:
- buy a sdcard, even a small one, internal sdcard still can be used for multimedia files and so on, and is mounted as /mnt/emmc (grab Astro File manager for exemple to see it) and is concerned by media scanning.
- flash back stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849) if you didn't made a Nandroid backup before flashing CMod.
- flash another optimized Froyo rom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849 there are some)
- Didn't try Paul Modaco's Gr2, based on official Lg leak 2.3.4, perhaps its mouting points are more conventionnal; but Gr1 pre-baked didn't went good for me as there were no SIM card detection (probably missing some APN related files or so...) so I jumped to CyanogenMod Nightly.
I just bought an O2x with CM7 RC1 already installed.The camera doesn't work (Please insert an SD card before using the camera) and my computer doesn't find the phone when i connect the USB cable(it says it's charging but nothing happens on the phone or the PC). I tried installing LG Pc Suite and the official software on the LG site(mobile updater) and the USB driver seems to be installed but nothing happens when i connect the phone.
What should i do? Should i flash a newer CM7 nightly or a stock firmware? (i have literally no idea how to do that, i'm going to have to read some tutorials).Can i do that if i can't connect the phone via the USB cable? Is there another way?
Yeah flash a newer version, RC1 is quite dated. In the new nightlies you can make internal storage replace the SD card.
You can update the drivers with the LG Mobile Support Tool, PC Suite isn't compatible with CM7.
I installed LG Mobile Support Tool, still nothing. The battery is "Charging" but nothing else happens on the phone/pc. Can i flash a newer version if i can't use the usb to connect to the phone?
Edit: The phone has ROM Manager 4.3.2.3 installed and when i start it: "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager."
I suspect you don't have an SD card, only internal storage. You can't use ROM Manager with that on RC1.
Try the drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...elease-103521-20110725/page__view__getnewpost
No, i don't have external SD card. The phone already had CM7 when i bought it. So i just have to download those 3 files and follow the tutorial?
I also found this tutorial and it has that AP BIN thing in plus. Which one to follow? I would be happy to install stock froyo if everything works on it.
Which one to follow depends on what you want for your phone. Personally I'd use CM7.
Ok , i'm gonna go with CM7. If i follow that tutorial(the one you posted) what exactly i'm gonna have on my phone? What does it do? Don't i have to install a newer CM7 nightly build?
This tutorial doesn't say what to put in the AP Bin box, i just leave it blank?
If you go with CM7 then you have to install via recovery, not Smartflash, completely different process.
Download the newest version from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
Save to your phones internal SD card
Update recovery (unless already on 4.0.0.9 or higher)
Reboot to recovery (can use ROM Manager for that)
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip
Select the CM zip and pick yes
Reboot
In the CyanognenMod settings, in the top option (i foget what it is now) tick 'use internal storage'
Reboot again and you're away
"Save to your phones internal SD card" How am i gonna do that? I can't use usb to connect the phone.
Oh, have you not sorted that yet? Bugger.
Try running mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard from the terminal, with any luck this will make your internal SD /sdcard and you should be able to download CM via the phone. You can also use ROM Manager to install it then as well.

[Q] In a bit of a Predicament, Need help! - SD card isnt mounted and in a bootloop

I've rooted and installed a new ROM for my friends HTC sensation XL called Total Sensless. Upon installation i forgot to edit the vold.fstab file in order for my sd card and internal storage to be able to be read. However I'm also stuck in a bootloop. i cant access the sd card from recovery to flash the same Rom with the edited vold.fstab and i cant seem to push a ROM via adb onto my phone as the internal and sd card memory isn't recognised. Any help would be save me paying from breaking my friends phone, i really need help.
Thanks heaps

First of all, make sure you read things before doing things, secondly, you should have S-OFF'ed the phone, most probably that is the reason why you are in a bootloop, so the best thing for you would be to find the device CID, and if you find a RUU to match your CID, then you are lucky and can start all this thing from scratch.
Or, you could use any of the tools Multi-Tool, AIO, whatever, and install another custom Recovery, and mount USB from there, see what happens.
I gave the RUU a try and tried flashing one that seemed to match but it kept showing an error saying "unable to update your android phone please get the right ROM Update Utility :/
I'll try installing a new recovery and let you know how it goes
Thanks a heap man

And it worked i flashed TWRP using AIO tool and then mounted the USB storage and then reinstalled the origianl ICS Rom back on.
Thanks a tonne, wouldve had to pay for a replacment, means a lot :good:

if i cant connect through USB, then how can i solve this problem? how can i flash a new rom? how to downgrade my phone since i hane read from most of the forums that the only way to solve is downgrade the phone to stock. but i cant even connect it through USB to put the rom.

What rom are you on ? if you are on a ICS rom then flash my sdcard fix for ics roms
or open up system/etc/vold.fstab and if you are on old hboot = 1.25 or 6.25 then check and check that the line says 33 not 34
if on new hboot = 1.28 or 6.28 then check that the line says 34 not 33

If vold.fstab is correct, then there is no reason to use sdcard fix, all that does is correcting that value.
Sent from my Sensation XL using xda premium
Don't worry, i think best way is to use from official Rom at the first. it will make everything solve, and your XL reset to factory options. Then if you want to use CM10, choose which one Ok for you phone.

Does anyone got a solution for this problem now? How do we get to the external memory now?
hello all ,
I have the same problem any solution ? or I have to use JTAG ???
did u flash or install some tweaks/mod/script?
I had the same Error
Hi at all,
I had the same error, but today my friend repair it.
At first, i will tell you what I had done:
1. I was on http://www.htcdev.com and unlocked my Bootloader
I've get this:

2. Then I had installed the Recovery
I had used this one
I think I don't have to tell here how I installed the Recovery with fastboot
3. Then I had installed SuperSU
--> After this I had startet my HTC Sensation XL and it was rooted
But after a time it was boring and I had downloadet the Rootbox 4.2.2 ROM and installed it direktly from the running phone with the ROM-Manager.apk
After that my HTC rebooted and for 3h I had only the RootBox screen, but after a time I opened the phone and reset it (Battery out)
Then it start fast in the Android 4.2.2 but then....
1. The phone doesn't show the SD Card under Settings
2. File Manager can't show you files on sd card
3. No USB connection to the PC
4. Recovery can't mount / format SD-Card
-> Softbrick
BECAUSE I FORGET THE "S-OFF"
!!How I get my SD Card mounted!!
(You have to install the HTC and ADB Driver on your System)
1.I had downloadet the XL Multi Tool and flashed HBOOT to S-OFF
-> Still no SD-Card
2. Then I had:
MOUNTS/FORMAT SYSTEM
MOUNTS/FORMAT CACHE
MOUNTS/FORMAT DATA
ADVANCED/WIPE DALVIK
-> No system anymore, just a withe HTC Screen
3. Then boot into Recovery
-> Connect your HTC SXL to your PC
Go to "mount USB Storage " and sty in this menu, now the PC have to format the SD-Card -> But please look that it only show you the 8 GB free space (SD-Card). I know that Windows can show you only this one but with linux it is able to format everything.
So i had formated the SD-Card
-> Download CM
-> Download Gapps
Copy on the SD-Card
Reboot to Recovery
-> Install ZIP from SD-Card
And now it woks (With my HTC SXL) I doesn't get the error "can't mount SD Card"
-> This was mot everything that I had done and try
(I had installed CM with adb and try to format it with the phone )
*Sorry for my english, i hope that you will understand it.

[Q] Internal SD Card missing after unlocking bootloader

After having some problems with my Xperia T (random reboots, reboot loops, crashes) on stock Android 4.3 I decided to give it a go and try to install Omnirom 4.4
I tried to follow this procedure to install Omnirom
1. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's guide
2. Got root through towelroot
3. I installed TWRP, which seems to be recommend for the Xperia T, TWRP installed BusyBox Free (no idea what this does, but TWRP recommended installing this.
This is as far as I got. The problem I have is that I don't have access to the internal SDcard (my phone does not have a removable sdcard) when connected via USB to my computer.
The internal SD Card does not appear as 'mass storage' in my windows explorer, nor does the phone give me the option to access the internal sdcard as a storage device.
Therefore I cannot copy the Omnirom zip and the GAPPS to the internal sdcard.
I'm stuck here. I tried searching the web, but got no solution.
Anybody who give me a little help here?
I think you can mount the SD-card from TWRP, then you can access it from your computer. Not a TWRP user myself, but that's how it works from CWM
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Free mobile app
Going into -> TWRP -> Settings -> Storage Info
I have 2 options:
- External storage location
- USB-OTG location
What is what? And where should they point to?
Currently they are set to:
- External storage location: /storaga/sdcard0/media
- USB-OTG location: /storage/sdcard0
I can see the contents of the 'sdcard' but have no idea what to mount where.....
Seems right.
USB OTG is when you plug in a usb stick to your phone. So pretty unimportant.
Why cant you download the Omni zip with your phone?

Pluging the usb cable in the phone and pc doesn't seem to do anything. Windows Explorer doesn't show the internal memory card as a storage device, so I cannot transfer the Omni.zip
Pluging the usb cable in the phone also doesn't charge my phone ...
Even PC Companion doesn't find my phone. It keep searching and searching but doesn't find it.

If you have ADB drivers installed (from the Flashtools folder, for instance), you can access your entire phone through ADB while in recovery. Mounting USB storage to transfer files between TWRP and my PC has never worked for me; it has worked on CWM though, although I haven't used that method in ages since I prefer ADB.

Ok, I managed to get the omni rom .zip and gapps.zip to the sdcard using the adb push command.
I tried to install this via TWRP and select the zip file. Unfortunately when selecting 'reboot to recovery' in TWRP nothing seems to happen. The phone reboots, Sony and Xperia logo appear and the phone just starts as normal....
I can't get the phone into recovery. I tried to push the volume up, volume down, holding the volume up/down, push repeatingly .... etc nothing seems to work...
Some more info
- I verified that I'm root
- I reinstalled TWRP
- I downloaded and installed the recovery image in TWRP (for the xperia t this is 'mint')
- I tried other recovery tools such as Clockworkmod, but my device is no supported
- I tried 'Quickboot tool' to get into recovery, doesn't make any difference....
What am I missing?
I forgot to thank everybody who helped me out on this.
I managed to get access to the sd card, push customs roms (CM10 an CM11) and flash my phone. Unfortunately nothing helped fixing my Xperia T reboot problem. I flashed it back to the original Sony rom and returned it to the shop, up to 3 weeks without phone....

[Q] Installing Clockworkmod only

Hi all,
been a while since upgrading and always seemed to get help, so now im stuck i thought id bob back and ask again.
my friends father passed away recently, leaving his mobile locked with all family photos stored on the device, the device has no sim card as this has been cancelled and no memory card, the photos are on the actual phone.
the phone works but when powered on it prompts for the pin code. i dont want to try too many attempts and lock the phone. ive tried download mode, then connecting to PC, i can see the memory card but says please insert when i click it.
on my older phone i had CWM recovery installed and could mount the the storage card, will this work for the internal storage too ??
i dont need the phone, i just cant risk loosing precious photos...is installing CWM an option or is there another way of accessing the memory card while still locked.
the only information i have is that is a Galaxy s I9000, i have no idea which version of andriod is running
thanks for reading and hopefully someone can help
cheers craig

Thanks pryerlee
ive been reading and trying to get the adb method 2 to work but i either get unable to CD system or device offline when i type adb devices ive used linux mint 15
ive also tried window 7 but cannot connect or get same. i read further down and one member stated the USB debugging has to be ticked. i obviously cannot do this.
the only way i can get a connection is through the android recovery by hol vol up, menu and power it on. i can list files but i cant access the system directory or the sdcard.
i would like to be able to install CWM then i can try method one to unlock the phone or just mount the storage and hopefully recover the photos that way.
any advice on which update.zip i need to install CWM
thanks in advance...
you could try aroma file manager as it works from recovery, just download the file to the sdcard then install it from recovery that way you can get into system files, but saying that if you can't access the sdcard from recovery then I can't see it working, but no harm in trying. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
