Hey may have just posted in the wrong thread lol

Also ouch, the physical address for internal may be shot if TWRP doesn't recognize it. Try fastboot to wipe cache and then I guess you could try adb to wipe sd though its not something I've ever tried so it may not be possible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
So what does that mean?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slagle96:
no this just happen to me bu ti just fixed it in a retarted way in twrp i mounted and then my computer said format then i put a zip file on the internal sd once it get s done formatting and i went to sd card and i was relieved
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Why didn't I think of this earlier, if the physical address is bad you could repartition the phone it should wipe everything and rewrite any corrupt or damaged areas

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

I love your enthusiasm to prove me wrong but just because windows recognized a corrupt card and was able to reformat does not mean its physical address isn't corrupt. I've had plenty of SD cards that windows could not read that Linux could and vice versa. Not saying I'm right and you're wrong, just stating no and then offering your solution makes me think you are coming off as hostile
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
Sorry could you please explain this I'm a little lost... thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
They are saying to boot to twrp and mount SD card to pc
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
Yea that doesn't work is what I was trying to say. If I mount internal from TWRP I get a prompt saying "You need to format the disk in drive H: before you can use it" with the only two options as "Format Disk" and "Cancel". Should I format it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Oh, so you were being cautious and searching for other solutions! Finally a user I can admire lol. Make sure it is the right SD card, its OK to format, this is what you have to do when its been corrupted. I misunderstood and thought you said windows would not recognize it at all, I assumed that it was too far gone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
So should I just press format disk? Or is there something more specific?

thanks for being on top of this too
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
no just reformat, it will erase all data on the card, all data on the card including apps and any app data will get wiped, but you can easily restore any backed up apps, if you have any further problems with internal like apps fc'ing or the like you can go into recovery and select fix permissions
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
So I take it this gets formatted as FAT (MS-DOS)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
you really are cautious, yes reformat as fat32 (fat and fat16 have file size and file name limitations that fat 32 does not) I suggest a quick format just to get the card recognizable again and then reformat the long way, this ensures that anything lingering in the memory that could corrupt the card again is better hidden. I say hidden because each file is given a physical address on the card (hey its written to separate physical parts of the memory right? Are you sticking with me other guy?? Sorry just had to needlessly slam the other guy again) when a file is deleted the information remains but the physical address linking the file is deleted, the information stays on a sector of the memory card until it is overwritten by new data.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slagle96:
yeah then put a zip file on it and then it should be working fine go to file explorer or install and then you should be able do what you need
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:

Ok well I guess it somewhat worked. Now however I still cannot get the RUU to run. When booting up TWRP the log says "E:Unable to mount '/cache' (tw_mount)" and "E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)" Any thoughts on where I should go from here? More formatting?

Thanks for all of your help tho guys

not sure what you're trying to do but if cache is corrupt fastboot wipe cache should do the trick

Actually, from your baseband version, you're on gingerbread firmware.

So you can either flash NeoMax with an old firmware patch, or update to ics with a RUU.

I recommend updating to ics firmware.

[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Yes update to the latest ruu first. It will make things so much easier. Be aware that you need to get everything off you phone before you start the process, it will erase everything except for what is on the external sd card.

And yes this qualifies you as a full blown n00b. Sorry.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
See what happened here? You got a taste when you first rooted. Now you're back for a little more. After you get neo up and running you're going to be all like"now that wasn't so bad, maybe ill check out a bamf rom" - I give it a month till you're a crack flasher :D
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
yep, as stated by other memebers you are runing GB with ICS firmware patch. which is fine but your radios are out dated.

you have 2 options at this point.

option 1 is to update to the .12 ruu, the one before the global release. this will give you the ability to flash newer roms that are not built off the global release, which there are more options to flash. this method will keep you s-on and still enjoy all the wonderful roms out there.

option 2 is to update to the global ruu. this will give you the most up to date rom s, but the downside is if you want to go back to an earlier build of ICS like neo's non global rom you will need to s-off the device.

let me know what option you want and i can help you with a mini guide on updating. :)
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
I think 3.14 based roms still work on global firmware as long as you use the right kernel.

But nonetheless, it's always best to be on a rom matching your firmware.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
Man you guys rock!

What reason is there to stay s-on other than it is a bit trick to achieve s-off? I think everything becomes easier once I am s-off? So maybe I should just but the bullet (or the paperclip so to speak) and do it.

ASOP looks so interesting - when that is out and stable I most likely will want to try it - does that change what I should do in any way?

I was additced on my OG droid - rom after rom, was so simple - all of this firmware and s-on/s-off stuff is a bit more tricky for this 98% noob.
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
Where do I get the latest ruu? The ones I found googling said you have to have a locked bootloader or be S-Off, neither of which I am.

And for my own info - what does RUU stand for?

Thanks,

[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
You have to relock your bootloader.

Ruu stands for rum updater utility I think.

So I need to flash an updated firmware, I am sorry to be dense but firmware and rom are not the same? When I google 3.14.605.10 firmware download I get links to the OTA update that would seem to be the official rom.

Reward $10 amazon gift card to first person who clearly answers all

When I click the 648 GB size file it tells me that I must be a premium member to download files lager than 500GB. I see the slow download when I click on the smaller files.

Could you throw the file you are talking about up somewhere- I would seriously appreciate it.

I went ahead and downloaded Scott's GBE and threw it on the SD card, Booted into recovery - selected it and installed. It installed, booted to the Hboot screen - I followed those directions to "Press Power to install the kernel / boot.img" But I am not sure if I was supposed to have something else for it to install on the SD card.

It now hangs after the white HTC screen- screen is dark but backlight is on.

I went back to the CleanROM ICS I was running before and it seems pretty happy - but I Would really like to try some other ROMS.

I got $10 Amazon gift card to whoever can tell me exactly what I need to do and provide links to the files I need - I think I am very close.

1) Put the GBE file on the SD card (it is already there)

2) Reboot to Recovery

3) Choose File From Zip and choose GBE file

4) ???Reboot to HBOOT and ??? This part I am fuzzy on - Also What about the whole PHIMG thing?

1.) Put the GBE file on the SD card

Where is the PH98IMG file coming from?

Why didn't it work then? I flashed Rom, Did the fastboot thing and then when it rebooted it just sat at blackscreen right after HTC screen?

[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
The green text should lag over the one saying PH98IMG and then display a loading bar on the right side. That's how you know that it found the file. When it does confirm the flash, Volume Up, and let it run. When it finishes it should say "Press Power to reboot"

Check the MD5 hash on your download.

Yeah, these guys are awesome. :)

If it's the full ruu(an .exe), you would run it from your pc.
