Hi guys,
So I've already posted a few times.
I have the new Butterfly S. I tried to root it, but I installed the wrong recovery, which was clockwork. As you know, with this recovery, you can't mount SD card.
So I wiped it, remounted it, and then when the phone booted again, the only thing I saw was a black screen with the internet logos on the top right of the screen. The rest is totally unresponsive. I can only access my bootloader and my recovery.
I installed now TWRP, and it recognizes the sdcard and the device.
I tried to install the stock ROM posted on this forum but no change. No result. Black screen.
I have a backup in .ab format, I have Droid explorer and all. When I try to restore using ADB it asks me to unlock my phone (type the password). Unfortunately, my phone doesn't prompt anything anymore. I am not asked for a password, and therefore I am stuck.
Any idea how I could do it differently?
Thanks a lot, I am desperate.
ok i'm making progress
i can now access the android from the NOS Rom.
I then try to restore the data but then I can't type the password as i don't have any keyboard appearing...
besides, no internet, no sim card detected... any idea?

I partitioned my SD card via ROM Manager yesterday to get more space for apps. I'd made a complete backup of the SD card before partitioning and put it on my PC. After the partitioning which went without probs I pasted everything back on the card. But I noticed that the ClockworkMod backups were not there. They were still on the PC but had not been transferred over, so I manually put them in the ClockworkMod folder.
But now I'm not able to go into recovery mode any more. The phone just gets stuck on the screen with an exclamation point icon. Holding power and volume up button to display the system recovery interface doesn't work either. The only solution is to pull the battery. The bootloader is unlocked.
Also, I've tried a few apps (z4root & Universal Androot) to root the phone without luck. I'd really like to root it to see if I can use RomManager to flash a recovery image.
I'm currently running on stock ROM version FRG83D but would prefer to go back to Cyanogen as I like the trackball wake, etc.
Please help me find a solution to this...
So yesterday I grabbed a copy of OpenRecovery from the cyanogenmod4android Google Code page and unzipped it, threw it onto my Milestone's SD card, rebooted into recovery.
It restarted when the bootloader (or whatever) finished loading the update.zip. I thought it was a bad .zip, and so I re-downloaded, and unzipped it to the SD card. Nothing changed.
I decided "Meh, use now, fiddle later." and let it reboot, sat it down and went back to looking up things to do with my HTC G2.
A minute or so goes by and I notice it hasn't done its normal boot-up vibration. (It's always done that. Pretty sure it's the "Checking SD card for errors" notification.) I pick it up and see that it's rebooting after about 3 seconds at the Motorola logo. What happened? D:
Use this recovery, it's the most advanced one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091787
Download the "Minimod V0.23.zip" and extract it to your SD card.
You should then have a folder called "OpenRecovery" and the "update.zip" file in the root directory of your SD card.
Do not unzip the "update.zip"
Furthermore you need to flash a vulnerable recovery first.

If your phone is stuck in a bootloop then I honestly don't know how that could have happened.
If there's no important data on the phone you could try factory resetting it.
If this doesn't help you'll have to reflash the ROM.
Guess I should've come back sooner...

Well, I powered it on a few more times, and it booted. Works normally apart from the OR issue. I already flashed the vulnerability from the guy who maintains(ed?) the Google Code page, and I've used the same OpenRecovery before, only that was with a different SD card. (Which I formatted and stuck in my HTC Vision without backing up, being an idiot)
I'll try out this one you linked me, and see what happens.
You can also try formatting that new SD card with the SD Formatter tool (link's in my signature)
TL ; DR: Splash stuck on restart, "Mount attempt 1/2/3/4/5... Unable to mount SD card message" in recovery mode, need to access storage to retrieve files I'd rather not lose, is there any way to plug into a computer with the device in boot or recovery mode to access my files?
Long verson:
I haven't rooted my phone or downloaded any weird or strange apps. I didn't recently update or load or add or install anything new to my phone, nor did I drop it hard. Nothing new or different happened, I just decided to restart my phone before bed, and now it doesn't work. The HTC ONE splash pops up, then the AT&T logo appears: Typically it goes through a small animation, but now instead it's just the logo and an animated glare practically indiscernibly moves a couple of pixels across the logo (like it's a lagging GIF). Before the glare moves completely across the logo, the phone restarts and the so does the process.
I can access recovery mode and when I do I get the "Mount attempt 1/2/3/4/5... Unable to mount SD card message". So I guess the only thing left for me to do is try factory reset, but there are a couple files I want off the device if I can manage that. I was hoping to be able to USB plug into my computer into recovery mode and access the storage like a portable hdd but I can't figure out which mode to go into or if its even possible.
Suggestions?

do you have a custom recovery installed? If yes you can use adb pull to copy your file to your pc.

nope, he doesn't the message "Mount attempt 1/2/3/4/5... Unable to mount SD card message" is stock recovery
EDIT: and if he unlocks bootloader using HTCdev, that will completely wipe his phone, I know you know, but the OP probably doesnt

You're right, I didn't know that.
I just finished going into recovery mode and wiping data/factory reset option anyway, giving up accessing the files I needed, and the same thing is happening. HTC ONE logo, switch to AT&T logo with a laggy glare animation, auto restart and the process restarts again. Is there anything I can do to allievate this problem?
So, after MONTHS of trying to fix my red 600 dollar paperweight, I feel it is time to give up and make a post here. I have tried everything from using RUUs, factory resets, restoring from backups, ADB sideloads, etc. and have had absolutely zero success. So here's the story!
A couple months ago, I installed MultiROM on my HTC One M7WLS in an attempt to get Ubuntu Touch to work on it. The install of MultiROM went smoothly and after a reboot, my phone was working normal. Naturally, once my phone was reconfigured I created a backup in the MultiROM TWRP (v2.8.0) to ensure I didn't lose my current state (or so I thought). After the install, I went to install a secondary rom on the phone on another partition. After the second ROM installation completed, I rebooted my phone, only to be stuck in a boot loop. From here, I went to recovery once again and deleted the new partition, and restored my previous one when I had it working. After this is when everything started going bonkers. Upon rebooting my phone, I discovered I no longer had a working radio (it completely disappeared; nothing even shows in settings for Baseband version) and I no longer had internal storage!!! I can access my phone's internal storage through File Manager, but I am unable to install apps, take pictures, or even watch videos on Facebook because it tells me I do not have internal storage, and that I need to insert an SD card. I have tried several things in an attempt to get my phone back to working condition, but I am still stuck with a copy of Cyanogenmod with no radio or internal storage.
Honestly, I have no clue what to do from here so I hope someone has insight on how to do this. I have tried uninstalling the MultiROM addon, but it does not allow me to since I can't put the ZIP file on my phone, or sideload it in since ADB says there is no phone connected. ANY AND EVERY BIT OF INPUT IS APPRECIATED!
So today I managed to restore my recovery to vanilla TWRP 2.8.1.0, and also managed to flash a ROM to the device. Sadly, in the OS I still have no internal storage or baseband, and I have not been able to find ANYWHERE how to restore JUST the baseband for this phone. Also, I have not been able to find how to fix the problems I am having with the internal storage. Once again, any and all input is appreciated

Go into TWRP and choose wipe / Format Data / type yes
when it's done you will have a blank device but the sdcard should be back.
get adb working on your phone with post 2 / faq 2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
when you get adb devices to work from TWRP
go to advanced / sideload
then on your pc - adb sideload rom.zip
be sure the rom is in the same folder as adb
If you still have problems here's the Sprint RUU

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
