Welcome to the forums!

Help me understand what you mean by can't mount /sdcard - where are you in the process?
 
Well won't go into all the problems but here is where the phone currently sits. I can get to the Fastboot USB and the HTC startup screen and that is it.
 
A friend of mine put a video file on my computer and let me borrow his charger. I came back a few minutes later and my phone was in a bootloop. I powered it down and when I got home I wiped the phone with the factory reset in the fastboot and twrp. The next thing I know I am trying to install Slimbean and the logs say that they can't load the /sdcard. I followed some of the sites saying I needed to wipe the phone and now the phone sits either in the HTC Boot screen or in the fastboot screen or off.
 
Hi Great guide. I managed to get s-off using a windows pc at work but I cannot install TWRP, it says device not found. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've downloaded your mini SDK and installed sdk.sh (surely that means the drivers are installed?). Thanks.

P.S. I'm running a HTC Desire with Android 2.2.2 so I can't use unrevoked either
 
The sh file just straightens out names, Mac and Linux PCs don't have to bother with drivers.

Custom recovery is unique to each model - are you sure that you have the right one for your phone?
