Tried to flash MeanRom to my EVO Lte after using CMX for a week or so with no problems.
Now I'm all turned around and I have no clue what's going on. My phone will still boot into recovery so I'm assuming all hope is not lost. However I can't access my internal sd, can't use the adb shell command (I get: "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)"), I've tried to flash CMX back onto my phone but the files seem to have disappeared from it's internal memory. adb reboot recovery works, sends me to TWRP. But once in TWRP I get confused and frustrated because I can't seem to find a way to just flash a damn ROM onto my phone. None of my backups are listed in "restore" and I had three there this morning. WHAT GIVES?
I'm using a Mac and don't have access to Linux or Windows, I was going to try to unroot it and start from there but I can't seem to find a way to unroot the phone on a Mac. Unless I'm googling wrong.

you did save your backups to external not internal right?
are you s-off? what boot loader?
if you can get into recovery you should be able to load a rom zip on sd card and flash from external card.

I saved them to internal. I don't have an external yet.. Single mom, had to buy my kid shoes. Damned priorities...
I can get into recovery I just don't have an external sd that I can put a zip on. I thought I had an extra from my old HTC G2 but I've been unable to locate it.
Should I run out to Fry's and buy an external sd card or is there a way to fix it without the external?
Edit: Btw, I'm s-ON. I'm still fairly new ish to this stuff so I'm not 100% what bootloader I'm using. Is it the same as Hboot? Hboot is 1.19.0000

If I'm using Mac and not Windows will that be ok? I can mount it to my computer but where should I go from there? Erasing it? Restoring it? I'd be using disc utility, unless there's a different program that works better.
thats fine, go to twrp and select mount/mount as storage and connect to pc, format volume fat32

Have you tried to format storage through the boot loader?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
yes, once its formatted, add a rom, prefereably meanrom, its the only one I've tried that has reliably installed the kernel. Give it 5-10 minutes, the phone will hang on writing kernel and it will reboot 2-3 times and it will hang each time, just let it do its thing

No, that literally just occured to me as I refreshed the page. Off to try that now.
I don't have an HTC phone with me now to show the exact steps but usually when you get to the boot loader it will have an option for formatting storage. Then try to go into recovery and mount.

Well **** I'm going to run out and buy a microsd and try to flash the rom from external. Let you know how it goes.
Alright, so flashed CMX back to my phone from the external sd. Worked beautifully. I now have a rom running on my phone.
Still can't figure out the internal sd.... Is there anyone who can tell me step-by-step what to do to reformat it or fix it or whatever? I feel like this should be a relatively easy fix, am I right? Why can't I figure it out?? Ugh.
Reboot to recovery, select mount, select mount USB storage, plug it into pc, open disk utility and select sd, select erase and choose fat
When you're booted up an go in to Menu/Settings/Storage is nothing showing under Internal storage or Phone storage?

I was in the process of upgrading my Rezound from Scott's GB CleanRom to the ICS version, and accidentally downloaded the files to my internal card instead of the external sdcard. I didn't realize this before I rebooted into recovery selected "Wipe ALL data/factory reset." Because I'm dumb, I didn't do a Nandroid backup before doing this. Now when I try to reboot to get the files in the right place, I'm stuck in a boot loop.
I tried pushing the files from my computer to sd card via adb, but despite it appearing to work, the files never show up.
Is there anything I can do to get it to boot up once without doing a manual reinstall of everything through adb? Any other ideas? Would really appreciate the help, and sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I really did look around.
Use a card reader to put the files on from your PC. They should be in the right place then.

This. Just use the computer as an intermediary to drag from internal sd to computer to regular sd or just mount your sd card and re download. No need for adb commands; drag and drop should work sufficiently
Hello everyone,
I had previously rooted my original evo a while back and recently got the new evo lte, and thought "Oh I can root this all by myself." Big mistake
Okay, so, I made sure to unlock it using the HTC dev. Then downloaded Rom Manager and tried to put the new cm10 rom but for some reason it was coming up with sd errors. So, I looked up what could possibly be the cause behind that, which I thought was the previous Rom Manager data from the old evo. So I deleted it and well had the same problem. I also made sure to do the Hboot fastboot thing too.
Then I download the TWRP recovery and things took a turn for the worst. Now my external/internal storage is unreadable to twrp, ironically so, I can still use the USB for the sd.
I tried other roms, but it won't load them
Now, my os is gone and I just don't know what to do. At very least I can still use fastboot, but I really just unsure how I can well make it work.
so stat wise it says
tampered/unlocked
S-ON RL
Hboot 1.15
Radio 1.05.11.0606
OpenDSP-v25. 1.032.0405
I am also running a mac.
So, if anyone can set me in the right direction, that would be super.
For one reason or another some users have problems flashing cmx and corrupting internal. Boot to twrp and mount as USB then format it in OSX.

Thank you for replying. So I want to mount the internal storage and format it in Fat32?
Also, when I go to the mounting menu, it will not let me press "Mount Internal".
However, I can mount internal storage using USB storage method, I don't get it...
Selecting mount as usb storage is all you need to do, at the very least you should be able to do that, then format, fat 32 is the default so there is no need to specify fat 32
Format the top one, correct?
Sorry for the late reply, that should be it
No, Thank you.
So, I did reformat. It still cannot find the internal storage/SD storage.
So, can I push RUU through fastboot to return it to a functional state. All this for Jellybean, haha
I had almost the same thing happen to me over the weekend for the first time. I was about to reformat it in twrp and that worked great for me. So give that a try before you run a ruu

I already reformat the internal and it made no different. I also cannot reformat within twrp, it just says cannot find and fails.
I think I've misunderstood, if you reformatted and can not access memory from aosp Rom try flashing the sd rewrite fix
swap internal/external links

I'm coming into this late but I recently experienced corrupted internal storage while running cmx as well. While I could not choose to mount the external storage, I somehow was able to select that bubble when in the restore menu. I restored an old meanrom and it rebuilt the internal storage despite losing the data. Not sure if this info will help you at all, but figured I would share. Good luck.

When I was able to flash a new rom [as I am now unable to really access my sd card] it would install it, however, it would boot past the the splash screen and would go black. I didn't think I had to flash the kernel before hand, perhaps that was my problem.
I thought I was doing pretty good with this One being used to the HTC One X . Now a new problem I can't figure out. When connecting usb. It says usb connected. Debugging mode checked. My computer says Android device , My HTC. but it wont show as a hard disk in the computer, It only shows as a portable media player. I can't access the SD card, can't go into Recovery and mount SD card to copy or delete. This just started when I flashed Cognition 1 rom. I had factory on it before and was reading the SD by copying and deleting roms to the card. Any backup I make in recovery and rename , it still has a label as factory rom.
Windows 8,
unlocked , rooted, TWRP recovery v 2.5
I have a folder on the SD card labeled "Roms" where I put the Rom zips to flash in recovery and can't find that now either. In settings , under storage there is "mount usb storage " as greyed out. I have deleted HTC sync. Deleted drivers, reintstalled drivers and back to where I was before. Any help ?

I haven't got stuck yet to the point of no return. I tried using CWM no difference. Tried calling HTC. they offered no help. For some reason I just made another folder for roms and presto there is the folder. When in recovery I see the "rom" folder and whats in it, but connecting to the PC there is no folder except now the one I made. When I go back to recovery there is only one "rom" folder but I can also see what I put in it before making the new folder and adding to it. Still can't mount the SD card in recovery tho.

Never call support... Absolute uselessness in that solution. Just install from zip to get the boot.
Hey everyone. About a week ago my Rezound was having issues and wasn't running well. It wasn't all that unusual, so I just decided to reboot. From then on it hasn't been able to load the ROM.
I went into my recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.0) to format \cache and \dalvik, and try again, but it cannot mount either partition. In fact, it can't mount any partition on the internal SD including \system, so I cannot reflash a ROM.
What works: bootloader, recovery, fastboot. mounting external SD
What doesn't work: I tried reflashing boot.img like Snuzzo recommended in some threads, but no dice. I tried erasing the partitions using fastboot, but I could only erase the cache partition and nothing else.
Phone:
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.28.0000
RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/23.10.-124r
OpenDSP-v14.6.0.7708.00.0507
ROM: PACMAN, though I'm not sure it's important.
What am I missing? This seems to be a common problem, but I haven't seen a solution that works for this case.

in wipe... try wiping the internal memory and plug it in the computer using the mount in twrp make sure at the top of twrp the main directory its looking at is either emmc or sdcard0 or the 10 some odd gb's....in windows is the space readable in start menu>control panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Manaement> Storage> Disk management...if so repartition and format it there
I tried to wipe internal SD in TWRP, but I get the same failure to mount those partitions. Once it can't mount them, it doesn't even let me select them for mounting to USB. It behaves like they doesn't exist.
That said, I haven't tried to use the disk management utility in Windows yet. Something was detected, as indicated by that sound Windows makes when you plug something in, but it never pulled up the autorun prompt. Maybe the partition really can be initialized in windows.
Unfortunately, when I plugged in my phone my computer turned off, making that power loss cutoff sound we all dread, and hasn't turned on since. I think something blew on the motherboard.
Sigh, it's been a hell of a week. I have to put this on hold for a while. I'll get back to it as soon as I'm up and running again. Thanks for the help in the meantime.

Yeah, I unplugged and let it sit overnight. No dice, feels like a total loss. I think the issue might be that I accidentally used the nexus 7 cable, which I have a sneaky suspicion uses a different charging mechanism than usual.

Since you're s-off, I'd just RUU the phone at this point, it resets all the partitions and stuff.
Make a back up of your internal SD if you can, it gets wiped.
Also you can back the rom up to your external SD, RUU, re-install your recovery and restore your rom when you're done. There is also a zip to update the firmware floating around if you want to get back to the latest hboot/radios.

You can tell Android Police they labeled it wrong then - [Exclusive Download] Full RUU Build 4.03.605.2 For The HTC Rezound
It's a PH98IMG.zip they listed, not an exe. As far as I've seen, an exe has never been released. It returns everything to stock on the phone, can't hurt to try it.
OP - Can you mount external SD in TWRP or have an external micro sd reader? If so give this a try.

he can mount external but as stated he cant boot into the rom....so he cant download from phone or pc right now as far as the info he messaged me...what android police may have done is taken the update out of the ruu.exe and made a ph98img out of it...but i can assure you an ruu "ROM Update Utility" or something in that manner is a program used to flash the phone to an earlier, or newer, stock rom while also completely reformating and wiping the phone from a much deeper internal level

If he can mount external and get into the bootloader, he's good to go...
When people in the Rezound section are referring to RUUing their phones, they are referring to what I posted, there is no actual executable RUU in the wild for this phone. I know it's supposed to be an exe, this is all we've got and it does reformat everything on the phone. I've has to use it to fix my internal storage in the past when CM roms were hosing it up.
It can't hurt to try it before the OP has to go through the trouble of shipping his phone...

i actually host the ruu.exe files for this device and have helped many with them...granted yes it cant hurt to try file if he is able to download the file and try
Edit: as stated though...hboot wont let him do anything....it reads then reboots on him
My phone came broken, it wouldn't make phone calls. I tried a bunch of different roms and none of them worked. Now I can't even boot into a rom and it just hangs at the splash screen of whatever rom I flash. In Twrp is says that it cant mount anything in the internal memory card pretty much.

If TWRP can't find it or fix it, then you will probably have to be S-OFF and RUU back to stock.

Is there really no other way? At this point I feel like just not having a phone. I have been more than a day now with a bricked phone. It just doesn't seem worth it anymore. I can't get s-off because I need to be on a stock rom to do so. I can't install a stock rom because everyone I download doesn't work.

It won't let me select the internal sd but it lets me select everything else.

at the bottom of the selections under the "Mount" tab in TWRP do you get area that says Micro sd or EMMC and storage space size
still having problem??
"It won't let me select the internal sd but it lets me select everything else."
If you are unlocked or S-0ff and still having this issue, I would suggest installing Amon-Ra recovery
via PH98IMG.zip.
Start recovery, choose USB-MS toggle, connect to Windows machine,
choose toggle internal SD, then format it. could do the external storage to format as well.
Now both should be visible and ready to take your ROM flash or nandroid restore.
