[Q] SNS I9020T Stuck at "google" screen with unlocked padlock symbol

Hi I'm aware that there are similar threads as to this issue but the problem i'm having is my computer being able to detect my usb storage. Since I cannot boot the phone up I can't turn on usb storage. How do I go about flashing the right software since I cannot mount the files to my sdcard through my computer?
As it stands right now:
1. SNS status = unlocked
2. I am able to boot in to clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4
3. I have tried a factory reset/wipe data from recovery
4. I am using windows vista, have downloaded the proper driver (i think)
I followed the nexusshacks guide so far
can anybody help?

Go into clockwork recovery, mounts and storage, mount USB.

Thanks for that! Now I know I can access my sd card. But now I just need help flashing the default software so I can access my sns again! This is my 1st android phone and would really appreciate a straight forward guide as to how to get out of my bad situation and back to a full system recovery. Once again here are my specs:
1. SNS I9020T Running Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Phone status = unlocked in bootloader mode
3. I have wiped my SD card clean and tried a full factory/data reset through clockwork recovery
4. All I can do it boot to bootloader or boot to cw recovery
5. I need to flash the default software for this phone so I can start a new
Can anyone help me out? would be greatly appreciated

Do you want to reflash the stock ROM or do you want to try a custom ROM? I'd suggest you download a custom ROM, for example Cyanogenmod 7. If you do, it'll also have a compatible kernel and you'll be running your phone again in no time.
Otherwise, search the development section for a stock ROM that suits your phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=883)
Now, I'll assume you download CM7 but the same steps apply to the stock ROM.
1) Download the ROM, it'll be around 86mb in size, a zip file.
2) Copy it to your SDcard using CWM
3) In CWM, go to "install zip from sdcard"
4) "Choose zip from sdcard", obviously, select the ROM.zip file you just downloaded
5) Let it run the installer
6) Reboot
Should work, good luck, let me know if something goes wrong

also if you haven't installed the su zip file yet do that. in clockwork recovery mount the usb, copy the su zip file to /sdcard, unmount, and install zip from sdcard.
not sure how you lost the stock 2.3.4 rom, but you can get the GRJ22 rom back onto your ns. read these threads if that's your cup of tea:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060192&highlight=stock+2.3.4
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
if you're brave and step over to the dark side of custom roms, i can guarantee you won't turn back. i've tried several, but i usually oscillate back to nscollab. you'll want titanium backup to backup your apps and rom manager to make nandroid backups. also when you flash between different roms make sure you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache to prevent foreclose issues.

Download one of the stock/ota roms from vulcan's post.
Extract the zip, and put boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.
<fastboot flash boot boot.img>
Reboot.
See if that works.

new to this and need help

I have the HTC thunderbolt and it is running gingerbread. I have multiple roms on my SD card but i can't remember how to change to a different one. Can anyone help me?

You must start recovery.
Reboot the Phone, start the recovery. Install zip file, and that´s it.

Sorry, i forget to tell you how to get into the recovery:
1. reboot
2. after the lights go down push the up or down button for long.
(at my device Desire HD it´s the down buttton)
3. now you are in the recovery. choose "install zip from sdcard"
4.take the rom you want.
5. press yes and you get the new rom

and remember to do a full wipe before installing

not exactly a full wipe. just data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache (dont wipe sd card or else you will have nothing to flash; the only reason why the sd card would be wiped/formatted is if you are partitioning it)

Need Help Fast! :( I Think My Phone Is Bricked

Okay Today I Decided To Flash My Rom From The Rom I Was Already Flashed To On My Huawei U8150, "Dronix 0.4 The Fastest" I Tried Flashing To Cyanoman V2. I Did My Backup And Everything, Everything Was Normal. But When The Phone Was Booting Up With The Cyanoman Bootscreen It Said In The Notification Bar "Preparing SDCard" Then it Froze.. I Thiought Nothing Of It. Restarted It. And It Happened Again.. And Again And Again. So i Snooped Around The Internet And It Said To Format My SDCard.. Since I Couldn't Get ANY Acess To The Phone. I Formatted It In The Clockwork Recovery Boot Thing.. And Now There Is NOTHING On My SDCard.. When I Plug It Up To The Computer It Has A File Named "LOST.DIR" When I Select It, It Brings Up A File In the Paper Format Named "4" When i Downloaded the Stock Rom On My Computer To Transfer It to The SDCard It Prompted Me "Disk Is Write Protected" ... In Addition When i Boot up The Phone Normally It Still boots With The Cyanoman Bootscreen And when It Finally Boots Up It Prompts Me With "Complete Action Using, --> com.android.provision. or Setup Wizard" Then It Freezes And I Cant Select Anything.. ( Thanks In Advanced If Anyone Can Help.

If you have another sd card try loading the rom onto it and see if you run into the same problem. It sounds like the sd is corrupted. If you are able to boot into the rom the phone will format the card automatically.

Ive Formatted The SD Card. Now the phone just has a logo on it and it wont boot at all.. can I use another phone to download a Tom on the SD card and boot from my phone? Thanks for the reply BTW

as long as you can still get to recovery youre not bricked. you could use another phone to transfer a rom from your pc,or you could go to meijer or wallmart and pick up a $10 card reader to plug into your pc.
since you have no backups now,youll have to flash something to get the phone working.
double check the md5 sum to verify the integrity of whatever you choose to flash(bad,incomplete,or corrupt downloads casue all sorts of different issues)
in recovery,prior to flashing the new rom:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-format or wipe /system since youre having issues.
now flash the new rom,flash gapps with it if needed.
hopefully that gets you back up and running

1. self explanatory
2. for installing a an update that's in the root of your card (I think)
3. wipe user data
4. wipe cache (3 and 4 are needed when you flash a new ROM)
5. for flashing a new ROM, gapps or whatever else comes in a .zip
I'm pretty sure you could have found the answers yourself had you bothered to look ...

Help plssss

Hi there,
I am having Lenovo a6000. I rooted it via King root. Few days back i installed chainfire3d on it. it asked for reboot so i just click yes. . now after reboot my phone went in boot loop. i have twrp recovery installed so i wipe dalvik, cache and system. Also i did factory reset. so i don't have root access and also i don't have my backup of android. So what should i do? I think installing stock ROM will do but is there any other way out of it?

Okay. If you have working TWRP installed the chances of fixing your phone are 98%.
Your system parition is invalid or corrupted. The only way is intalling stock rom and Gapps if you don't have a backup. If you have a backup just restore it.
Here are the steps:
1. Download these files on your computer:
https://userscloud.com/0mz53p05uoy1 - Micro Gapps
https://userscloud.com/vn2vevhp2vd0 - Stock rom
2. Put the files on your phone. Use an USB cable or a micro SD adapter for that.
If you need help with this just ask.
You can put them anywhere (SD card, internal memory), just remember where you put the files.
3. Enter your TWRP recovery.
Go to Wipe > Advenced Wipe
Now select Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data.
Swipe to wipe.
4. Go to main menu of recovery.
Select install.
Now find your Stock rom file and install it.
Select install again.
Now find the Gapps file and install that.
You are done. Set up your phone, install apps you need and then
make sure to make a NANDROID BACKUP!
Anyways you can bookmark this and use it to fix your phone any time.
