I have searched and I've found no answers for this. I picked up my phone today and it was unresponsive. I pulled the battery to restart it, would get to the white HTC screen then nothing. Went to recovery TWRP 2.3.2.3 and was greeted with a long list of "E: unable to..." everything. Can't mount system, emmc, data etc. Cannot restore, cannot install, cannot wipe. PH98IMG.zip does not load from sd card. I am pretty sure it's not a formatting issue.
Am I the proud owner of a brick? Any help is appreciated.
I had this problem, I could only fix it by formatting the SD card in the stock rom. If everything is not working and you can't flash the ruu or get in your ROM, you can try factory reset in the bootloader and try a SD card wipe in the ROM after reset to fix the partition. I have only tested fixing the SD mounting issues with stock ROM SD card wiping
That's my idea. Hope I helped :thumbup:

fastboot flash the latest amon-ra 3.16 recovery and see what happens. Your recovery is outdated.

To me, sounds like you got the recent OTA while on a custom rom. If you don't mind me asking which one was it?

I was running Wildstang's CM10.1. Had just updated to the 030513 update about 4 hours before the levy broke. It appeared to operate fine after reboot. Even used the phone to make an audio recording.
Also, for full information, I am on the most recent firmware (HBOOT 2.27 and most recent radios) and full S-Off.

Easier said than done for me, but I will try it out when I get home tonight. Thanks.
It concerns me, though, that the Image CRC in HBOOT comes up as all zeros for Boot, System and Data, and they are not mountable under any circumstances apparently. Any idea why that would happen?

Hey guys, I've searched the forum for a while but haven't quite found an answer to this, so I thought I'd post here. Before I start, I'd like to say, yes I am an experienced flasher and know most of my basic things. I've got a pyramid working perfectly, but this has been giving me many problems.
Basically, I just s-offed my HTC Evo 3D GSM, with an old CID of RO____001(I think), and HBOOT 1.53.
So now here I am, with my unlocked phone, running HBOOT 1.49, with SuperCID. My old ROM was Cool ICS, and I couldn't stand it, so I wanted to change over to stock Jelly bean, preferably AOKP. I've got the latest AOKP ROM, and 4EXT Recovery. I went into recovery and wiped my user data and cache and tried flashing the ROM, and Gapps of course, and then I rebooted, but it booted into Cool ICS again! With this happening, I tried wiping all partitions(including system, no SD card) and then my phone booted into a bright white HTC screen and didn't exit it. Parents are mad that my phone is broken now.
Please help! Much appreciated!
Flash stock and try again

Sounds more like the actual ROM is corrupt.
Redownload the ROM you want to run. Do a full wipe of the phone, including cache. Then transfer over the files. You can use 4EXT to transfer files to the phone via usb storage mode.
Then try flashing the ROM.
If it still doesn't work, try flashing a different ROM.
If that still doesn't work, report back here or feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the reply, DjDom. I'm kind of in a bigger pickle here. My recovery partition won't even work now. This was happening before I formatted all partitions, each time I wiped my data, it wiped the 4EXT app and the recovery partition. Does this mean I need to use the RUU again? And will the RUU re s-on the phone?

Damn if you can't access your recovery then you are in a bit of a trouble.
Maybe your downloaded ROM got corrupted or it didn't complete downloading that's why it's always recommended to check the HASH after you download something.
Good Luck on recovering your device back!

Na, I can still access recovery by simply flashing the .img... The ROM did finish downloading, as the HASH was proper, there's just a problem with recovery actually flashing to system.
Bump.. Come on guys, I really need help.. It won't even load bootloader anymore.
Flash a new recovery with Fastboot USB (I recommend TWRP or 4ext as recovery) Then go onto your recovery an flash the desired ROM.
Goodluck!
So I just bought the phone yesterday (first Android phone). Its locked to Mobilicity.
I wanted to unlock the phone so I unlocked bootloader, rooted and dont know what else I did but ended up making the wifi/bluetooth get an error.
I decided at the end just to buy a code since I found it on eBay for only $3.99. Went into settings, did a factory restore and the phone stopped booting.
It gets stuck at the HTC screen. I can still lock the bootloader and all that but I dont know how exactly im supposed to restore it now. Im reading something about an RUU but the one ive tried doesnt work. Ive also created a Gold Card and tried the .zip file on the SD.
SD thing says CID error and on the PC it says error 140 bootloader error or something.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have 4EXT and TWRP if that makes a difference at all.
Using this RUU •RUU_Ruby_DAVE_CA_1.45.1800.2_R_Radio_1.09.550L.11v 2DC_30.67.550L.09_release_227348_signed.exe
I also remember flashing a kernel, it was from the youtube video to S-OFF the phone, Dunno if thats what caused the problem
EDIT: just tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110&postcount=44 and when i click on RESTORE it says "cant mount /internal_sdcard" and recovery only boots in safe mode

If its putting a rom on the SD and going into 4EXT, it wont let me do that because it cant mount the internal SD and only boots 4EXT in safe mode
can you access the wipe/format in the 4EXT? try formatting the internal sd card(be aware all contents will be erase) then restart and go back to 4EXT check if you can install from sd card after that.

Nope just tried and it still wont mount I think the phone is just plain dead now
I can mount/unmount "/sdcard" but it wont let me mount "/internal_sdcard"
When I choose "install from sd card" and then "choose zip from sdcard" it says that the internal SD cant be mounted, even though im trying to get it from external
yeah i think i had this problem before, it wont mount because 4EXT is still in safe mode (right?). If you have the Hasoon all-in-one kit in your pc, you can try flashing another recovery program(like TWRP or reflash 4EXT and see if it will still go to safe mode). I thick they release the version 5 of the all-in-one kit 3 weeks ago, look for it!!

Ive tried going to stock but its impossible because the phone doesnt have a ROM at all currently and I cant install anything to the internal cause I think all the partitions are gone
if you are in 4ext you can repartition the phone.. and then place stock ruu either internal or external and flash back to stock

Ive tried but 4EXT only boots in safemode and the internal wont mount, so I cant partition it
EDIT: So i managed to get the internal to mount. SO SIMPLE. Had to plug in device, usb mass storage and then format it.
Now my problem is paritioning. I only have /emmc/ and nothing else. How do I partition and get everything else back?
EDIT AGAIN: So I went into 4EXT once the Internal SD could be mounted and then formatted data, system and boot and then tried installing from zip again. IT WORKED
MY DEVICE IS ALIVE AGAIN.\

I tried flashing the Mean Bean rom. I'm not a noob when it comes to flashing, but I made a noob mistake. I just got my phone and forgot to image before I wiped and tried flashing. The rom was stuck at "format /system" for 20 minutes. I held down the power button, and now, since I didn't image the stock, I can't start the phone (it gets stuck at the white screen) and now when I try to install the rom again, the zip is missing.
I have no idea what to do next. I am downloading all of the ruu files and I'm going to run each one until one works, but I'm not sure if that's even going to fix the problem.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Can you expand a little bit? I went into settings and there wasn't anything there to mount. I went into mount and marked "mount SDCard," and I went back to install and nothing popped up. I do have a ROM on my SD card, but its not the same rom. Its a rom I know that works.

Do you have any data you need or can you do full wipe? if that is possible this is a easy way to flash a ruu. 1 download the ruu from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744700&highlight=how+to+root the one that is titled PJ75IMG.zip 2. you will need to put it on your external sd card somehow ( easy way would be taking it out of phone and putting it in a different one then move it using that phone, or mabye using twrp recovery if possible make sure it is the external sd though), make sure you put it on the root of the external sd card. 3. boot into bootloader and the file should be recognized and it will ask you if you want to processed click volume up for yes this will bring you back to stock ics and it will also flash a image to the phone. hope this helps
I am pretty sure that I have a borked radio. I was running a "pre-flicker fix" Avatar ROM and upgraded to the 10-22 CM nightly. It worked great for about 4 hours and then lost the ability to send texts or make calls. I am trying to work my way through the steps to fix a messed up radio. I downgraded TWRP to 2.3.3 so I could apply the stock ROM, but the stock ROM hangs on the boot screen. I did apply the correct boot.img.
What am I missing?

Ok, so I am getting close to having a fully functional phone. I got it working, but it was all luck. (note: I tried each of these steps before, just not in this exact order)
a. I installed a TWRP backup of my Avatar ROM
b. flashed the appropriate boot.img
c. then flashed the Avatar ROM and gapps over the top of the backup.
It is functioning, but I am unable to access the internal storage. In ES Explorer, I can get to "/external_sd/"(which contains files) and "/mnt/sdcard"(which is empty) but if I try to click on the sd card icon it says "SD Card empty, unmounted or not present. I am unable to save screenshots and pictures because of this. This could stem from the SD swap I did.
Now that I have the radio working, I think I want to just start over with the device, without the sd storage, some of the apps are not working correctly. The factory reset I did blasted a lot of stuff. Also my download speeds are VERY slow... it says 4G but I don't believe it. Does anyone have a link to a good walk through on completely starting from scratch on a phone? What is the most stable CM ROM that does not have screen flicker?
thanks for the help guys
I had this exact same issue with 10/22. The radio died, and in the process of trying to fix it, the internal sd disappeared.
I ended up doing a full RUU following the steps at unlimited.io (ignoring the chmod step and the sudo parts of the commands since I'm in Windows). Then, HTCDev unlocking again, installing TWRP and Viper. Now, it seems to be working okay.
I'm having bad luck flashing the CM nightlies lately, not sure if it's just my phone, but I had the same issue even with the 10/18 experimental build.
I did end up getting it going. I built off of what I did in my previous post. I have to format the phone's data partition (mounded via TWRP) to get it to go.
Hi,
I have a very strange problem now (at least for me).
First some facts about the phone: It's unlocked Virgin Mobile phone, S-off, rooted, and has a usable 4ext recovery installed.
I also did some days ago when 4ext was installed a backup before trying anything else.
After that I tried different ROMs and most of them booted fine after flashing, and I used the last 2 days a JB 4.3 ROM until I found problems with the camera and wanted to see how this is for one of the other ROMs I tried before.
But after try to flash another ROM, it was stuck with on the HTC logo (the same ROM I flashed before without any problems, and of course after wiping all internal partitions like always). Also flashing any other ROM didn't help - even restoring the backup from the original ROM didn't solved this. Only using fastboot from the computer to write the boot image changed the hanging on th HTC logo in a boot loop now - and still no usable flashing is possible.
Does anyone has any ideas what the reason for this could be and how it can be solved to have a working phone again?
Thanks!

Try wiping everything, then reboot recovery, wipe everything again

It's hboot 1.50.5050
The hboot was only changed at the beginning after getting s-off. With this hboot all the ROMs I try now were working before.
However, for the original restore maybe this version could be a problem (hboot 1.58 was on the phone before), but should be no reason for the other ROMs to fail.

Well, this works!
So far I wiped everything but then installed directly the ROM after it without a reboot. No I did like you proposed - wipe, reboot, wipe, flash - and it works again.
Is there a reason why it hasn't worked directly after wiping and needed a reboot between?

I can only find RUU for Sprint but not VM - do you have a link to a file for a VM phone?
Thanks a lot for the help!
Glad it worked, don't know why but there must have been an issue with recovery
Here is the pg86img I use for vm.
https://db.tt/eBcYZ7yu
Place on root of your sd and rename pg86img.zip
Reboot to bootloader and accept update
This will give you stock Rom and recovery and hboot...s off stays
So if you want to flash again, all you need to do is flash recovery...no unlocking necessary
