Anybody else think it's worth exploring this thread to see if it is related to any of the problems people who've been unsuccessful with the methodology in the OP of this thread are having?

I'm beginning to think we're dealing with 2 very separate issues here, that for some reason conclude with essentially the same final result, which has given the appearance of the 2 (or 2+) issues actually being the same when they're not.

Anyway, the biggest difference between my problem & the one fixed in this thread is that I in now way am able to access adb. Throw in the fact that my s is back on, so there's also very little that I can flash, and my phone wouldn't actually complete the RUU flashing all the way & so therefore it now just turns off after it's been loaded more than 2 or 3 minutes, apparently switching instead to the qualcomm diagnostic (black screen, 5 quick vibrates, then a flashing green led light while the screen appears to turn itself back on, although nothing actually comes back on the screen other than a black screen), so unless it's a file that I can either use dropbox to sync or root explorer to change the name to either a pc36img or a update.zip, before my phone shuts down, I can't think of any realistic way to even get files to it. The files from this thread were small enough that I was able to use dropbox successfully, but there's not **** that I can do without root access anyway.

Pretty frustrating. I'll say thought that I've never had as many problems with this phone since I switched to my PNY 32 gb sd card several months back, most namely with the damn thing's sd-ext's since that point continuously losing their filesystem. To which I've usually run parted in order to fix, but since I can't access parted right now, once I saw the similarities in what this fix was actually fixing, then related the fix that I used to have to use when I was always running amonRA's recovery, and remembered that I'd just switched over to twrp, so I couldn't rule out the fact that it was the same problem (sd-ext losing it's filesystem) I decided that it's definitely worth looking into.

I'll post results as I get them. Not overly optimistic, but wouldn't be shocked if it wound up working either. I'd just be absolutely stunned if I'd actually successfully botched either my nand or one of my system partitions, or done something that I couldn't actually fix on this phone, considering all I've done to it & been able to come out of, most of the times all the more knowledgeable for.

How did you get the sd card to finally become readable?

The only thing I've been able to do successfully, in order to stop the thing from rebooting to the qaulcomm diag, is actually go into my settings, sd card, unmount the damn card, & then remount it. The one thing I will say is that I know if it's going to quit on me or not, b/c it doesn't matter if my phone's plugged into ac or via usb, it flat out will not charge unless it's not powered on, if it's going to shut down on me. If it charges while I'm running a rom, I can get as much time as I need out of it, though I still haven't been able to access my sd card (just figured this out late at night last night, haven't been able to put much more time towards it now, while I'm eating lunch & don't have anybody bothering me with **** I was supposed to have reviewed for them by now) &, once I reboot, it no longer matters b/c, boom, just like that, it's then gone again.
