Actually, it's not amazing, downloaded through GooManager and screwed up my phone. had to re-install 2.2.2 through bootloader just to bring my phone back to life. Why all the issues with TWRP through GooManager all the time. I've never been able to do a successful upgrade with this process. Also if you go to TWRP website to retrieve the bootloader image it still says 2.2.2

how did it screw up your phone? I'll link 2.3.0.2 in a hboot zip in a few, ok here's a hboot zip try it if you want

http://db.tt/q4kmLk7T

it actually DOES NOT mount external sd via usb in recovery, I tried also viewing sd2 via /sdcard/ext-sd/ and it doesn't pull all the info either. It's weird it comes up as htc storage I don't remember ever seeing that, but my memory could just suck.

This should fix the external sd card mount issue: http://techerrata.com/file/eyeballer/twrp/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.0.4-jewel.img

Can someone confirm?

PS: Thanks for all the testing, as with any software that undergoes a major rewrite there were bound to be bugs in the behavior regarding mounting - we test on as many devices as possible but no way to test all of them. We should have most of the issues worked out this week.

To be extra safe I'm just going to revert jewel back to 2.2.2.0. Dees_troy isn't around atm to look into it, and I don't even have an evo lte to test on. Will update when we can. If you have updated to 2.3 just don't use factory reset for now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Sorry Duce, I didn't realize you can't see post titles in the mobile app.

You may have also not seen the post titles but I didn't want to post too much and then look like an idiot because I was somehow using it wrong.... Unfortunately, I lost about 16gig of music and pics so I felt sick to my stomach thinking about the data. I didn't want to feel like a big idiot for screwing myself BUT also didn't want others doing what I did unknowingly.

I've activated auto uploads of my photos and will just & do more manual backups of my data. I never ever saw this coming but I guess that's bleeding edge for ya.

Thanks man. I'm more than happy to test before release. I have a clean card now. :o

ETA: The worst part here (for me because this is the only reason I even used the factory reset) is that even after all this gdamn wiping, I still can't get TD CM10 to fn flash right!! :banghead: Yes, I'm at my wits end trying to get it to work. :(

Holy crap I'd freak out if my sdcard got wiped.....

@mrrogers1

Thanks for the heads up.

Pretty sure I factory reset on 2.3.0.2 with no sd wipe.

Probably got lucky. :)

Won't try it again. Lol

I back up everything when I make big changes and all my pics auto upload.

Would be ok but at least I don't have to restore thanks to you.

I always Superwipe unless testing a new recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Damn, mrrogers, sorry to hear that. I lost my 1st Evo lte, and lost everything. But my card wasn't very full.

Sorry, bro. Also, that you can't get CM running.

**note 2 self, turn on dropbox instant upload now**

Question, when you enable auto upload pics in Google+, does auto post them for all to see, or just puts em in a library for you?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Well let's just say I finally have taken one for the team. I do what I can. :p

I don't know if there is a setting to not post them. I don't use G+ because I don't post pics all the time and def don't want an app posting them for me OR even putting them in an online library for me to post from.

Yeah, I retested with v2 and yes, wiped my card in the test. Do you recall, did your Factory reset message say, FAIL once it finished?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
OK, I couldn't figure it out, so need help.

@MassStash

the only reason I tried to download through Goo in the first place was because on the TWRP site, the file it showed for bootloader still said v2.2.2.0, the OP links are even older which is the only reason I installed Goo and tried to do it that way.

@il Duce,

So my phone isn't completely destroyed or anything, but long story short I can't mount the internal sdCard anymore. I've tried to figure it out and cannot come up with anything that makes sense on why it won't mount. Just real quick, I am S-Off which is why normally I would flash a new updated TWRP via bootloader. I am currently on PA v2.21 which I updated to earlier on Saturday and everything was working fine. When I tried to do the TWRP update, and the phone rebooted it was on the bootanimation screen for a long time after appearing to update TWRP, but I just let it sit for probably upwards of 45mins because I was doing some other stuff too. Finally I realized something wasn't right and did a hard restart and same thing happened, went through splash screen, then stuck on bootanimation. So then I went into bootloader and attempted to get into recovery, that was a no go, it just rebooted the phone and started cycling again. At that point is when I reinstalled 2.2.2.0 wiped everything and installed a restore. Everything booted fine apps seemed to be ok and so I thought everything was good until I noticed in ES File Explorer that I could not navigate to the internal card. So I went to settings and storage and it showed it was not mounted, tried mounting and it showed it calculating apps, pics , music, etc.. but would never mount. I went back to ESFE and tried to get to the internal card and realized I was on it, but it appears to be completely empty..??? So here's where it gets weird, why the hell can I still use a good 90% of my apps (I found out after further research that a few don't work right) if there is nothing on the card. They are not on my external A) because there is no need to move them and B) I double checked just to make sure. Also, even though the card won't supposedly mount, unmounted it shows in settings/storage that 589MB of 2.12GB of space is being used? Any help is appreciated... if I can save it without having to wipe it and set it back up, that would be great and save a lot of time, but if that is the only solution then if someone can walk me through on how to do it properly I would appreciate that as well. I've seen a couple horror stories floating around about formatting and partitioning the internal sdCard and want to make sure I am not creating even more problems ahead.

Thanks in advance. Also, here is a log cat I ran in recovery.

:cool:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RHall1340:
Does this new 2.3.0.4 version (Or whatever its at now) fix the problem with being unable to format the internal storage? I've always had to mount it to my PC and delete everything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
You should read some of the thread.... at least the last 24hr worth of posts would be insightful.

*Oh, and if you can't erase it in your rom, (if on Sense) I think it might be the rom. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't do it on MeanROM but then tried on a stock rom and it worked perfectly.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
I have been able to successfully restore a MeanROM BU. and during boot process

it was able to write to the internal sdCard and go back and a JB (PA) back up as well. Now when I ES File Ex. it shows new info written to the card. Not sure if I should just format and re-partition or just let it go the way it is. Just weird how it all went down.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
IDK... it's all just very strange. I tried to fix it for 2 days and could not really come up with a reason on why it would not mount, but showed space taken on the card, space available, etc... hell, I could even transfer files to the card from Ext sdCard, and then move them back, but still could not mount after a re-boot to retrieve the data. Oh well so the previous data is gone and the card is working again, but the strangest thing is the instructions I finally ended up going with was someone else who had a similar problem restored a MeanROM BU. and it fixed his issue. I'm sure MeanROM isn't the Messiah, but I can only guess that something during the initial boot process saw that the internal card was corrupted and re-formatted and partitioned because now it shows under storage that the card is mounted and of the 2.12GB of total space 89.12MB of app data is being used and there are 2.00GB available. :D The only thing that really bugs the shyytt out of me through out the whole process is not the partial downtime, not the experience of trying to do an update and have it go sour ( we all know there are risks involved in doing MODs and critical changes to our devices ) no the thing that pisses me off at this point is, I don't know for sure the technical reasons that it is fixed. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rootlinux:
Installing update now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
Didn't test any wiping or flashing, but it definitely mounts correctly.

Now I have 2 requests.

Please fix ddms, shows device unknown, I would like to use it.

You've added into /res/images/ a file called "curtain" which looks identical to the first recovery boot team win curtain. I've changed it and the actual curtain doesn't change. Am I holding it wrong? Or are you toying with me? Lol

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeballer:
1. We have no idea why ddms doesn't work and have no plans to look into it. It's a device specific thing (works fine on my evo3d and tf201 for example)

2. Curtain is not themeable. It was removed from being compiled into the binary but is still part of the built recovery.img. The only way to change it is at compile time or by repacking the recovery - both of which we'd prefer you didn't do (at least not for public release). It was just done to make the code "cleaner."

Note though that I have had many pics never upload. I don't know why it misses some. Maybe just connectivity? Maybe phone bogged down with other stuff at the time? So don't rely too heavily on the auto upload always working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Alright, wipes seem to all be in order, my SD card has remained untouched.

Thanks for posting Eyeballer.

Now, for a question, might be off-topic but I think 16gig's of lost data affords me 1 OT question is the fine thread.... Where the hell could data still be, being stored that none of these damn wipes are touching that would really screw up a fresh, clean, squeeky clean AOSP rom? I have some kind of data lingering and it's been causing problems (can't run and AOSP roms) since 9/16.

Feel free to PM me if you have an answer as to not derail here but I had to ask.

Unfortunately it not that. I have always used the Superwipe scripts, stopped using them to see if that was my CM issue which actually brought me to the Factory Reset functionality in the recovery,...

I have something else going on and as long as I have been a in this game, it really crazy I can't figure it out.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] louched1:
I have an odd bug to report. As it's been persisting thru a few different versions of TWRP it's most likely been reported a hundred times, but here's time 101.

When looking at my external SD card in any other file explorer the following two paths point to my external SD card.

/sdcard/ext_sd

/sdcard2

In TWRP, /sdcard2 correctly see my external SD card in its current state. /sdcard/ext_sd sees an older version of my external SD card from back when I first rooted my phone (I think that's what it's seeing). The files it shows were definitely on my SD card at one point in time, but they don't reflect the current contents of my SD card.

Pretty minor detail considering how awesome and invaluable TWRP has been to my phone. Just throwing it out there as a heads up. One time I thought TWRP couldn't find my SD card because of that, but it turned out I just had to go to the other path to get there.

EDIT: For fun I tried copying some pictures from the /sdcard/ext_sd that are listed but I know aren't on the SD card. I copied them to the internal SD. When I booted up the files were there on the internal SD, but they were just blank files with names. 0 bytes each.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
I think in twrp the sdcard/extsd is if you have a partitioned sdcard2. Could be totally wrong, but yeah.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
charging indicator light doesn't seem to work in recovery. This was in the changelog for 2.3.0. Reported on github
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Was the light actually supposed to be lit OR were we supposed to have a "charging indicator" because we do have the + next to the battery level when charging.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
What you are looking at is a mount point that isn't mounted at that moment (/sdcard/ext_sd), and what is normally just a symlink (/sdcard2) being displayed as the actual mount point while in twrp.

When Android is running, what normally happens, (at least on the evo lte stock sense rom and those based on it) is first the internal sdcard is mounted on /sdcard. Then after /sdcard is mounted, the external sd card is mounted on /sdcard/ext_sd. Then 2 symlinks are added for confusion. They probably thought it was for convenience but it's really more confusion than convenience. /sdcard1 is a symlink that points to /sdcard, and /sdcard2 is a symlink that points to /sdcard/ext_sd

A symlink is just a tiny special kind of virtual file that has no contents other than it's name and the name of some other file (or directory).

A mount point is just a directory that a filesystem is sort of anchored to. The directory is usually empty, because when you mount a filesystem on a mount point, the previous contents of that directory are hidden and unreachable as long as the fs is mounted. They aren't deleted, just covered up.

So what can happen in cases like this is, say one day, for whatever unknown reason, you do NOT mount the external sd card. The empty directory named /sdcard/ext_sd still exists, and it looks and works exactly the same as if you HAD mounted the external card. It's just a directory. You can write files there same as you can on the external card. The only difference is, the directory is on the internal sd card, since it's in /sdcard.

And /sdcard2 still points to /sdcard/ext_sd which as we just saw still exists.

So on that day, anything you write to either /sdcard2 or /sdcard/ext_sd will really just go into a directory on the internal card, and every other day you'll never see those files because normally the external card mounts and covers them up.

In your case another thing could be going on to make it even more confusing.

Twrp is not the same as the normal full operating system and there is nothing saying twrp has to do anything even remotely like what the normal OS does. Twrp and any other recovery is it's own whole separate self contained mini-os with it's own separate "/" root filesystem and it's own scripts or hard coded built in programing to mount the physical filesystems and display them to the user. Twrp MAY have a real directory named /sdcard2 instead of a symlink, and it MAY be mounting the external card there directly instead of mounting it on ext_sd under /sdcard.

It could be yet some other similar kind of mishap, but the point is, the way it normally works is a bit of a house of cards and there is lots of room for ambiguity and for things to fail without being noticed and LOOK like they worked, and the symlinks providing two different paths to the same physical content, leading to confusion and breakage and mysteries later exactly like what you are seeing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
That was a fantastic write up, and incredibly informative for those who have no idea/experience with symlinks
