Cannot Mount Internal Storage - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

By mistake I did an Advanced Wipe of my HTC and wiped everything. Now to install a new ROM I need to put the ROM on the phone, and for that I tried mounting the data from TWRP 2.8 recovery but ADB showed no devices attached. I tried ADB sideload but the progress bar was stuck for about half an hour. I also tried flashing CWM recovery but couldn't mount from there too.
Can someone please help me mount the phone?
P.S. - I am using Ubuntu 14.04

have you tried an older version of TWRP? maybe it's a bug in 2.8.0.0
(i haven't tested it, so can't say for sure)

I flashed CWM and it worked like a charm for me.
Maybe TWRP was buggy.

could be i haven't tried it (yet?), but I recommend you stick with
TWRP 2.6.3.3 (good for Sense based ROMs; CWM will most likely fail for 4.4+ ROMs due to missing SELinux support)
TWRP 2.7.1.1 (but this will erase the firmware version text from your "getvar all") but is needed for CM11 and possibly other ROMs that need a recovery with by-name support
TWRP 2.7.1.2+ (but be careful about possible factory reset this)

When I was trying to push the Rom to my phone, it was not happening with TWRP, that's why I switched to CWM and not it isn't booting up.
What do you suggest doing now?

first off stick with one thread, so let's stay here, let the other one die out
as i mentioned, you'll need to go with TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher depending on the ROM
if you are going for ARHD 81.0, then use TWRP 2.6.3.3, it's working fine for me
also please check the faq sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53270352&postcount=21
let me know if you encounter other problems, by posting back here.

check the device manager. That was the problem in my case. The windows device manager did not recognize the driver. After updating this one it worked

The problem now is that I am not able to mount the device. Adb says "Device not found" (tried all USB ports) and ADB Sideload also isn't working. It has been stuck with the progress bar for almost 10 minutes.
How should I transfer the ROM to the phone now?

[Q] no ADB/usb-otg with TWRP 2.6.3

I used to run TWRP 2.5.0.0 without any problems, since the OTA 4.3 update the touchscreen in TWRP 2.5.0.0 no longer works. for some reason TWRP 2.5.0.0 is the only recovery that would work with usb-otg and ADB, does anyone know how to either wipe and install a new rom only using ADB commnds in twrp, or how to get my USB-OTG and ADB working in TWRP 2.6.3? the phone currently is listed as M7WLS in the device manager while in any recovery besides TWRP 2.5.0.0
did you try adb sideload (nameofrom).zip ? using sideload in twrp.
i cant seem to get my OTG USB to work at all. it will not mount the usb no matter what i do.
only twrp 2.5.0.0 works with adb or usb otg

sideload does not work since the phone is improperly recognized as m7wls in device manager on any recovery besides twrp 2.5.0.0
I had the same issue with twrp & otg on 4.3. I updated to twrp 2.6.3.0 & still had issues sideloading after a complete wipe in twrp. I just read that flashing philztouch from bootloader helped someone to sideload a rom. I haven't tried it yet-so fill us in if you have any luck with philztouch. I love twrp, but i'll use anything that works. We are all learning, so ur best bet is to always take the time to backup before u try anything.

DNasingh has a 1.29 touch panel thread with a flashable zip in the general section. Flash the zip in your bootloader, then flash twrp 2.5.0.0.

the new CWM was able to mount my usb automatically and my problem is solved, ty. But i wonder, why is every other recovery but the newest CWM and TWRP 2.5 unable to use the usb?
Didn't find out about this issue until it was too late
I decided to back everything up onto my laptop and wipe the phone clean including the internal card and then install a new ROM from the USB-OTG
Problem is I didn't realize until I tried it that TWRP 2.6.3 won't mount or recognize USB to either install the ROM or push another recovery onto the phone
Help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Stuck in TWRP

Hi, I have a ATT HTC One I got yesterday. Was rooted, had an old ROM on it, unlocked, s-off, hboot 1.44. I tried to flash a PGe rom on it and it became stuck in TWRP. I can get adb, but sideloading a rom doesn't work. It says it flashes but will not boot. Can get into the bootloader, but can't get fastboot. Really frustrated, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
i was also got same problem with you
and to boot to TWRP i use CMD : Fastboot boot recovery.img
and then i can successfully go to TWRP settings

I will try that. I am also using a windows 8 laptop, which may be part of my issue in getting the phone recognized in fastboot. I am trying to locate a windows 7 computer to use. I am also downloading the correct Guru file for it, but can't try it till I get home tonight because I can't install HTC drivers on my work computer.
I have been rooting phones since I had my HTC Hero and never had this much trouble or bricked a phone, let alone had to leave one down overnight. I am humbled......lol
I was also considering trying to load a nandroid backup. IF I do, and I can push it, what location does it need to go to??

what TWRP version are you using, and what are you installing?
If you're flashing a 4.4 ROM, then you will need TWRP 2.6.3.3, otherwise it will bootloop.
and for GPE 4.4 you also need S-Off.

I flashed Insertcoin with 2.6.3.3, but haven't tried 2.6.3.4 with 4.4 as it was released after. Using 2.6.3.4 on my phone now with no other issues though. I know to never assume, but I did assume that later revisions than 2.6.3.3 should also work. Maybe someone can clarify.

so i checked, but it doesn't say why it's under m7ul now. any reason it wouldnt work with an m7u?
I'm stuck with TWRP 2.6.3.0 unfortunately.....
Solved my problem. Used a Windows Vista computer, and a different cable, was able to get fastboot to work and used a RUU to get back to stock. Got rid of TWRP and put on the newwest CWM recovery and a new rom. Thanks to all that helped!

Accidentally Installed a Rom While S-ON

For some stupid reason I thought I had S-Off. Installed a rom that required S-Off.
Phone boots to the "select language screen", then reboots itself. Does this continuously.
Can't mount my phone to my computer either. Any ideas?
Phone is unlocked and rooted.
Didn't do a backup either.
You can install roms with s-on. Boot into recovery and install another rom. If problem continues you can fastboot erase cache.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------
flash TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3 for M7 if you have international M7
Reboot into recovery.
Now make a Wipe of the phone like when you installing new ROM.
Now Select mount
Tick DATA and just data. System and Cache must be unchecked. Leave it there for now.
Now download new ROM you want and put it into your fastboot folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe files in it if you know what i mean.
Now start fastboot and write following adb push rom.zip /sdcard/. and hit enter. Wait a couple of minutes until you see that files are transfered.
now go back from mount in TWRP until you see the rom file. FLASH the ROM...
Tried two roms and it fails when trying to flash.
I'll try and download some others ...

No problem. Glad you fixed it. Remember you can allways push a rom into a HTC ONE if you wiping **** out of it.

[SOLVED] [Q] HTC One only bootloader and recovery works

Last night tried installing SkyDragon v.9. It installed, the phone booted into rom and then started rebooting. Now i cant flash any rom because the phone reboots on the stage of wiping something. I installed newer twrp 2.8.0.2. Now i have these erros: unable to mount data and unable to mount internal storage. I'm S-ON unlocked. Tried ADB Sideload but it says device not found. Have no idea what to do. Saw somewhere that you can relock, unlock and install RUU to unbrick, but im not sure if i should do that. Help please.
OK. So... Try this:
From recovery go into Advanced Wipe, select all and wipe 2 or 3 times.
Reboot into bootloader.
In fastboot mode, make fastboot erase cache.
Then boot into recovery, and try ADB Sideload again or install rom via USB OTG (if you have)
If it also doesn't work try sth like this - it worked for me some time ago.
I saw that my PC recognizes my phone as normal storage when it's booted into TWRP and I don't need ADB Sideload. Try copy ROM like this and install.
If it won't work, you'll have to install RUU

If it reboots immediately when you try to wipe or flash something (i.e instant black screen then reboot)
You can probably fix it with e2fsck.
Boot to recovery select Mount then unmount all partitions return to twrp home screen and connect usb and check adb is working with
Code:
adb devices
You should get an output of your serial no.
Then do this
Code:
adb shell
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p35
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
exit
Now try to flash the Rom again

After i installed twrp 2.8.0.2 i can wipe. Well, sometimes it does wipe but sometimes it just writes error: unable to mount data and unable to mount internal storage. When i try flashing rom, for example viperone 7.0.1, it writes "set_perm some changes failed" right at the 0%. I tried installing cyanogenmod 11s and it installed without errors. But when i boot into rom, it says something like "the process android ui crashed".

Dude, you are a wizard! Installed 2.6.3.3 and flashed viper without any problems. Yay it's working :laugh: . Couldn't think that recovery can cause these errors. I've been using 2.7.1.1 for quite a long time so i thought it'll work like it always did, but it just kept rebooting on wiping stage.

no problem,
2.6.3.3 is best for most ROMs, unless they require a recovery with "by-name" support (such as CM11), then you need 2.7.0.8 or higher
i've also successfully flashed using 2.8.0.1, but .2 seems to have issues again.

soft brick / twrp issue

Hi guys,
Ive not come across this before i'm hoping some of you can help please, i not a complete noob in the fact i've been flashing roms for a few years now but i'm by no means an expert!!
my htc in on latest firmware and was running maximus lolipop 50.0 and im s off.
I was flashing ARHD and had a bad flash. it hung when flashing and I was forced to put it back into bootloader upon attempting to flash again each rom I tried started to fail, ARHD and maximus. I realized TWRP was giving the error unable to mount storage wwhich seemed to be causing the issue. I been looking through XDA for a couple of hours now for a answer and tried lots of different things to fix this re flash twrp , factory reset, tried to sideload roms but that failed and was about to flash stock recovery when I mistakenly flashed twrp 2.6.3.3, I thought I would try to flash the new ARHD lollipop on this recovery even though i thought lollipop require 2.8.4.0 but ive literally just flashed it and it installed fine and ive just set the phone back up.
I want to re-flash recovery 2.8.4.0 but i've got a feeling that im going to run back into the mount storage issue does anyone have any knowledge on this issue? i also found it strange I had the issue with 2.8.4.0 and re-flashing didn't cure it but with older 2.6.3.3 it still said unable to mount storage but flashed the rom without any issues?
any help is appreciated thanks guys.

You may want to post about this in the ARHD thread. Many users are having problems with storage after flashing the Rom with 2.8.4.0. Based on your experience it seems the issue may be with the new TWRP rather than the new Rom. :good:
Anyway if you have successfully flashed the rom. Changing your recovery now should not cause any problems. It seems to be the data wipe in Aroma during the install that causes the issue. In any case TWRP 2.6.3.3 has for a long time and still is considered the most stable and reliable version. A number of users have confirmed it flashes the new ARHD without issues so maybe your better off staying with 2.6.3.3 I know I will be

I don't know what this issue is, but ive noticed a similar problem with TWRP 2.8.4.0, when wiping or restoring a rom I kept getting a error, something like E:Unable to mount internal storage at sector 65547 (cant remember the exact number), I cured it by using TWRP 2.7.1.1, formatting data and a full wipe then re-flashing MaximusHD50 using 2.7.1.1, I think its probably just a problem with TWRP and not your device itself, nothing to worry about.
I appreciate your response guy's, I'll try and update to 2.7.1.1 and see how I get on

So are you still having problems with your storage?
e2fsck in recovery may fix it without you needing to format the device

If you want to try it here's how
With the phone in twrp go into mount options and uncheck all boxes, connect your usb cable to your pc and start a cmd window at your Fastboot folder. Then type
Code:
adb devices
To check adb is working. If it is then follow up with these commands
Code:
adb shell
e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk0p35
e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk0p36
e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk0p37
exit

Thanks Danny, I think it's fine but I'll check recovery again, if it's still having issues do I literally type those commands using fastboot ?

Basically the same thing yes. Open the command window the same as with fastboot. Only the phone should be in recovery rather than on the bootloader :good:
Bootloader = Fastboot commands
Recovery = adb commands
There's also another fix posted in the ARHD thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58416746
Great thanks Danny

Seems easier to post the fix than a link to it
All you have to do is type in these 2 lines in your terminal emulator on your android device:
Su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
And your storage will be back to normal

Also, I used TWRP 2.8.4.0 and ARHD 90 / Wiped in TWRP and Aroma and never had any problems

Yeah Probably call me selfish but I was waiting for my ride home from work which turned up as I was writing my post so it was easier for me to just grab the link [emoji14]
