SD Card willl NOT mount on boot. Is there a fix?

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

Bricked HTC One...

Ok so I booted into Recovery, did Wipe Data/Factory Reset then went into Mounts and Storage and did format /system. I stupidly did all this without copying a custom Rom to my internal SD card first. The phone now doesn't boot, I can't mount USB storage in recovery because there is no option to do so and the RUU isnt available.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
PS. Yes I know I should have done a Nandroid backup first and yes I know I'm an idiot.

can you not push the rom onto the sdcard with fastboot using ADB from your pc?

Why cant I mount the storage inside recovery

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.

Is there a way to get a ROM on via fastboot or something?

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!

Which recovery version? Have you tried "Format Data" reboot recovery. adb push and install rom?
If your with TWRP 2.8.4.0 you can use MTP instead of push

I don't mean wipe internal storage. "Format Data" is not the same as Wiping Internal Storage. Format Data will wipe everything by deleting the System Data and Boot Partition. You must reboot recovery after format to write the new partition structure then push a new Rom to the phone with adb.
In twrp go to "Wipe" then "Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm.
When it's done go to the reboot menu and reboot recovery. You will get the No OS installed message. Reboot anyway, you will also be prompted to root the device say No.
When your back in recovery connect your usb cable. Put your Rom in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip
In the command window type.
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push complete (Several Minutes) When it's done Install the Rom with twrp :good:
@armindelavari Check the adb push command. I noticed I had a space missing. I have edited it so it's correct now :good:

Access fastboot after full wipe

Will I be able to get into fastboot after full wipe (including internal storage) in TWRP? I made a huge mistake and I can't go into /sdcard via PC to push .zip file to flash it. ADB sideload doesn't work, only shows "error: closed".
Hope that friends have OTG to put smth on disk, but I don't have for this right now :crying: Any ideas?

Yes you can.. do you mean you can't connect as mtp to pc while in twrp..?, anyway what twrp version you're using it..?, did you already mount internal before connect it to pc..?

You should be able to flash the MIUI fastboot roms still.

@JJeamy:
Well, I've managed to flash TWRP once again and I had access to everything. Propably full wipe messed priviliges to access Thanks for help ?
