Hi guys, it was here a few times, but i have complicated problem.
When I was using the phone, from nothing it showed me SD Card is damaged. I have formated it, copied Nandroid to my SD and restored the Nandroid. Rebooted and all is the same! Apps on SD-Ext don't work and in status bar is SD Card is damaged. This is going to be 2 days and I have made about 6 times Format and about 20 times restored the Nandroid copy or flashed the ROM.
In some times, it showed me errors like:
Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via console
If it showed, I have restored Nandroid via console by Amon_RA. I have tried clean ROM, all Nandroid backups I have (about 8) and nothing worked. Will work if I UNROOT and ROOT again?
Thanks for future for help
I had this. It was immediately solved in within minutes when I wiped and re-partitioned my SD card. I was only so care free because I'm wiping my phone almost every one or two days now in testing. (I needlessly re-partition the SD for each wipe and mount in RA recovery to put the ROM zip on it).
That is very true, i have that issue constantly. Just do what the above poster said, and never remove the SD card with out an umount.

I've been flashing the nightly build on my phone. The last time my phone was working was build 9. I than flashed build 12 and my phone got stuck on MT4G screen. I went ahead and did another full wipe but same result. Now I tried to flash build 9 and I still get same result. In a panic, I formated everything in advanced option and did another flash. Still nothing. I than followed this post in doing a wipe:
remove SD, power down device, SD in card reader, and delete all android created data (android_system; android; dcim->.thumbnails; tmp; data)
put sd back in phone.
boot into recovery
format boot
format system
{back to main menu} - factory reset
then mounts/storage, mount /system, mount /data
install .zip from SD card -> choose (CM-NIGHTLY-X)
then mounts/storage, remount /system (and /data if its not mounted)
install .zip from SD card -> choose (GAPPS)
reboot
win
So now my phone just gets stuck at the MT4G load screen. I can get into clockwork fine and flash but it just no longer will boot. Please help.
if you can boot into clockwork i dont think your bricked....try pushing the 2.x version to your phone and flash a 2.2 rom just to get to a working state.
then try again ?
I literally was going to have a heart attack. I was able to boot into the Nightly build. I guess theres something wrong with my sd card. I figured I try my 16gb card out of HD2 and it worked like a charm. Thanks for responding, I appreciate it.
Theres definitely something wrong with my 32gb Sandisk card. I formatted it with SDformatter to see if I can get it flash my phone and boot properly. Well, back to being stuck at MT4G load screen. The card works fine except for this problem. Now I just formatted 20gbs of music for nothing. FML!
haha no problem, try using HP USb storage format tool
I've done a bit of searching for my answer, however, am not able to find the answer.
I am having a problem running a restore in AD Recovery in the Magldr (v1.13).
Let me explain the situation:
I wasn't able to get App2SDPro to carry over apps to my SD card. I was informed it was because it was that I did not have an EXT2 or EXT3 partition on my SD.
I did that and then my SD was erased, but luckily I make regular backups of my SD card.
So I put all the information back on my SD card. I then realized that my ROM was erased as well.
So I tried running the backup I made from the recovery and got the error mentioned in the title.
I then tried to reload a ROM that I have on my SD at all times and then tried to do an advanced restore of the data and system and cache while leaving the boot but nothing works..
Am I destined to start from scratch, lol? (I had 140 apps installed)(and I'll be using a different form of backup next time, lol)
i have the same problem . while i was recovering from nand backup i have this notification 'Nand Kernel Open Failed'
Just flash again the kernel of your rom or the rom without wipe
you have to flash your rom om the kernel again and hopefully the problem will be solved
CLIO94 sorry i just see your reply
So just wanted to share this in the event anyone else runs into the problem. I was running CWM 2.5 and CM7 RC2 just fine for a while now and I decided to clean my SD card yesterday since I have tons of empty folders from prior app/rom installs. After deleting some folders, my SD card would not be read by the phone. I rebooted and it sent it into a bootloop. Tried to format SD card in recovery and the settings menu, no avail. Tried to partition in adb to correct the issue and /DATA would not mount for the life of me. I could get it to mount via adb, but not in recovery. Any time I tried to factory reset or format DATA, it would say it cant mount the partition.
Anyway, I tried the latest version of CWM (3.8) and it managed to format each partition without any issues. I could then install CM7 without any issues and it booted right up.
So if anyone is experiencing SD card issues when altering the filesystem in any way, try upgrading the recovery image. It would have saved me a good number of hours troubleshooting, but hey at least I learned adb better lol
I am having the same exact problem, bootloop with no way to access card. How did you get CWM updated?
i THINK i know what i did wrong:
i flashed firmware that i found from another site (not filefactory) with mobile odin. i had done a few backups, but did a fresh one anyway from cwm, and moved it to the "external" sd card. i unchecked everroot--i dunno why, i was going to root with the zip file... this may have been my mistake. but i also checked, "factory reset/wipe data/wipe cache etc" from within odin. THIS may have been my mistake... well, when it rebooted, mobile odin went to it, said everything went fine, then rebooted. now i'm stuck on the gTab start-up screen. it doesn't load the boot animation even. i can get into download mode, and i can get into recovery. tried flashing a rom and a kernel on top of whatever is on the device. that didn't work. mobile odin DID take away root. so i rerooted it thinking that cwm may require root to work.
the problem from within cwm is that it isn't seeing the "internal" sd card, or it thinks the external is the internal... that's how i was able to root again, by applying zip from sd card. it worked. so it IS still seeing internal storage.
this may have already been fixed had i not LOST the USB cable.... another one is on order and en route. i can see no solutions with it as is, i'm going to need desktop odin to reflash...
so the problem as i see it: i can't just restore because i erased the "internal" sd card. i moved my cwm folder to the "external" so even though it's on there, and cwm is reading my "external" as "internal" it's still unable to access the cwm folder with my backups available.
so the solution still requires the usb cable, even if i were to just move the cwm folder BACK to the internal card once i get it plugged in. in the mean time i'm dead in the water...
thanks for any help!!!
Hello all,
I am currently running the latest snapshot of Cyanogenmod 11 (M12) on my GS4 and last month I used Flashify to install TWRP 2.8.4.0 over the default CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery that comes with CM11. I did a nandroid backup to my external 64 GB microSD card and it would say that the backup was successful, and I could see it within the file manager and on my PC using MTP.
However, whenever I reboot into the OS, the backup folder gets deleted. I have then tried to backup only the /system partition to my internal storage, since I do not have enough space on my internal storage for a full nandroid. This backup worked successfully as I can access the folder from the OS, however I would still like to a full backup on my SD card since it has enough space for a full nandroid
Here is what I tried:
1. While in TWRP, I copied the newly created backup folder over MTP to my computer. After I rebooted the phone, I shut it down and plugged the SD card into my computer and copied the backup back to my SD card. However, when I placed the SD card back into the phone and powered it on, it deleted the backup again.
2. I reflashed CWM (same version, but newly downloaded and flashed using Flashify) and attempted to do a full nandroid. I received an error saying that the /data partition could not be backed up. Interestingly, I deleted an old CWM backup on my SD card, and after I rebooted that old backup was still there.
3. I flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0 and 2.8.3.0, and still have the same issue.
The version of CWM that I had before I installed TWRP would backup without issues. I am not sure if this is an OS, hardware, or an SD card issue, though my guess would be that when booting into the OS, Android deletes any changes that were made to the SD card that were not made in the OS. I am not sure how to fix this issue and was hoping someone on this forum could help, and I have searched other forums for answers, but haven't found one as specific as this, and solutions for similar problems haven't worked.
The phone works fine otherwise, I'm just worried that with CM12 M releases coming around the corner that I won't be able to install it properly with these recovery issues.
Any help on this would be appreciated, and if there is a better XDA forum for me to ask this on please let me know.
I figured out the issue. Turns out my microSD card is faulty. Sandisk will send a replacement.
