Im in dire need of help, i rooted my nexus s and i got stuck at the boot logo. Then tried to go into clockwork, but my sd wont mount properly
I feel like crying
In windows explorer, there are 2 usb devcies that are greyed out and say please insert a disk into drive
I just want stock 2.3.3,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, im shaking here, only had it a day
im trying the odin files?
Is this the right thing to do?
I wouldn't try Odin just yet I would put the sdcard into a micro SD adapter and move the file to another sdcard the try booting into recovery mode. Have you downloaded the recovery and tried to get into recovery mode the normal way? And if you did get into recovery can you still get into there and just put a rom on the root of the sdcard and wipe data, cache, delvki and the flash the rom and see if that works just a few ideas before you break it completely lol

Sdcard? The nexus s doesn't have one. Odin works but it isn't popular.
I'd go with clockwork recovery. Is your phone bootloader unlocked? Clockwork recovery fully flashed?

Good evening,
I really need your help. Been satisfied user of the Virtuous Ville ROM, but wanted to try Leedroids On S Rom today.
It all started with flsahing the Boot.img via ADB, which worked fine. But hereafter, I think I may have made a bad mistake: I launched ClockworkMod recovery, pressed "Nandroid Backup" - without verifying the message - and then wiped my phone. I should have noticed that Clockworkmod wasn't able to mount the SDCard already at the time when it attempted to do the nandroid backup.
Situation is, phone is empty and won't boot, I have been trying to restore access to my SD Card since about three hours, re-rooted my phone and read some bricking threads here at XDA... could not find a solution.
I have used the android internal encryption feature when I had the old ROM. Could it be that this blocks Clockwork Mod from accessing the SDCard?
Can someone please help me?
Maybe there is a way to flash a Ville ROM via ADB, so I can bypass my SDCard-Problem?
Greetings

Amendment:
right now, I am trying to revive my phone via relocking it and installing the Stock ROM via RUU afterwards. I hope this works while the phone is in fastboot mode.
If this is successful, I am going to post it here.
Does anyone know if I have to revert to stock recovery before applying the RUU?
Thanks in advance
Ulu

And NO you dont need stock recovery, Just a sense ROM and a relocked bootloader
no you dont have to. RUU flash via fastboot should be no prob.

I had the same problem a few days ago & the other forums didn't work for me so I relocked the bootloader and flashed the RUU. Now its back to its factory state and im well I'm just happy it works

Edit -- azzledazzle already provided correct link -- apologies for double post
The link works, had to use it myself.
why not just try flashing stock recovery then going back to bootloader and clearing storage and then going back to bootloader restoring to factory and then rebooting into the rom it'll wipe all partitions including sdcard except for system that uses the original proc/mount and restores sdcard to default
worked for me everytime

QUICK WAY TO FIX SD CARD ERRORS
Well this worked for me can't guarentee it for everyone else. I'm running a mac, was able to boot into CM10 very well. Initially it just got stuck at the bootloading image so I had to flash an update boot.img and was able to get in but noticed no sd card even couldn't access the sd card in recovery. So I flashed a TWRP Recovery, still showed that it wouldn't allow me to mount the sd card telling me there is some error, however it allows to mount usb storage which is a life saver.
On mac automatically it comes up with a pop up window that says initialize... ignore eject.
Click Initialize.
Tap on the Drive on the side -> ERASE TAB on top
From the drop down list chose FAT -> CLICK ERASE
After it's done eject the storage safely then unmount usb storage from the phone, you can try and tap mount SD CARD and it will still give you the same error. No worries there, boot into the OS and it'll prompt you that the sd card partition is damaged, it'll ask you to format. Let it format and your in the clear.
This works great if you were able to get into your OS.
I was running CM10
Just use TWRP. Thats it.

I tried this after a whole night of trying to fix my phone and instant fix it mounted as soon as I formatted from computer using use mount. Thank u a ton.
Ok just got the same problem ... unable to mount my sdcard. went back to stock recovery and it wasn't able to format/mount the drive.. I'm on a an OSX machine as well.. was about to RUU update but all I can find are exe (windows) files to run.. anyway for me to do a RUU update with a mac anyone.. Think only option for me is to lock my bootloader and install RUU .. but don't know how on a mac... thanks in advance...
oh forgot to mention i'm stuck on bootloop...
nvm I got it done.. just did a virtualbox with winxp and got all working.. wish they had osx native way of doing this. but at least I got a working phone again.. finally found the right words to search to find my answer..
Okay so I sold my HOX running AOKP to a guy on Clist. He tried to flash a stock rom.. and somehow in the process wiped his whole system and sd card. Over the phone I figured out he soft bricked it and its stuck in a bootloop.
Went thru the steps over the phone with him to get into recovery(TWRP), and he confirmed that TWRP is there. Of course he didnt do a nandroid or anything of that sort, so he cant revert to that. There's no ZIPs on the phone, when he goes to INSTALL on twrp, it just shows "twrp" folder and thats it.
I haven't had the phone in my hands yet, but will see it tomorrow. My question is:
How do I transfer a Zip file onto the phone to flash thru TWRP? Does TWRP have a USB mass storage mode? (I have an S3 now and that's not available on my TWRP)
Can I use ADB or Fastboot to flash the ZIP as is? Or can I use ADB to transfer a file to the phone?
Yeah twrp has usb storage, you go into Mount then mount usb storage and windows should recognise so long as you have the correct drivers installed.

Maybe I didn't understand the op but, when flashing... You'll have to flash the boot.IMG file from the rom seperately if the phone has the 1.14 Hboot. Then go into recovery and install the .zip file after you wipe the cache/delvik.

You can just mount USB storage and drag the ROM to the sdcard.
If you are on the new hboot (1.14) you will have to flash the boot.img (its inside the rom zip) first (from fastboot). then flash the ROM from recovery.
Can someone please help me? Im stuck in the latest CWM recovery. I cant get into bootloader/fastboot/hboot. Tried with the all in one tool kit. I cant mount my usb to pc but I can get the tool kit to restart the phone. All it does is go back too recovery. I accidentally wiped my sd too. So I have no roms too go back too. All my restores are wiped. Is there anyway too fix this??
Im getting the UMS linfile error when I try to mount usb storage. How can I get my HOS to connect to the pc without any fastboot??

Hold the Power button and Vol- button in till it stops flashing then let go of the power button for sec and press again then wait a few secends and the bootloader should show up. Now you should be able to use the toolkit again first thing you want to do is flash TWRP recovery and then use it again to flash the boot.img from the rom you want to use then reboot into recovery and you should be able to mount SD now, copy over the rom then factory reset and wipe system and then install rom.
Oh ,CWM recovery isn't support mount USB

You'd better using TWRP recovery,it's prefect..
if you can't mount usb or sdcard then the only fix that doesn't involve using linux hackery is to read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...OW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard
you need to go back to stock recovery wipe sdcard everything your gonna lose everything and then after you successfully get control of sdcard you flash new recovery use twrp (I wouldn't trust cwm if I was paid to) and that's the fix. happy hacking

I think he cant mount SD is because CWM cant do it but TWRP can.

If you use cwm recovery, not twrp, then it's normal that you can't mount your sdcard onto your PC over USB. This is not a problem, as long as you can mount your sdcard onto your root filesystem. You can still adb push/pull files to/from the device. If not, you have the 'unmountable sdcard' and you should follow the sticky in Q&A on this issue.
However, it is scary that you can not get into bootloader/fastboot mode. This means you can't change recoveries and, depending on your hboot, change boot images and radios.
Try unplugging the device before you boot into bootloader using the vol-down key. If you have it plugged in, cwm will boot into recovery as soon as you power down.

I must agree with many of the posts here.
Go into fastboot usb, and flash the latest TWRP recovery instead of clockwork mod.
After having gone TWRP, I dont look back. You have many more features than in clockwork, including a USB mount of the internal sd card. You can also use adb tools in twrp too.
After mounting your sdcard, you can then transfer a rom over and then install using twrp too.
If your sd card is corrupted (ie will not mount, cannot access, etc), then you may need to flash the stock recovery and then in the bootloader redo a factory reset. There is a thread about this somewhere, as the stock recovery can reformat your sd card partition if its corrupted or wont mount with other custom recoverys.

it seems that i thoroughly wiped my tablet and now it has no OS at all the pic below is all i got and i cant do anything else. so how screwed am i?
*EDIT* ok so i managed to get it to the point where the 4 icons are :RCK android USB wipe data: by running the command abd reboot bootloader. but it says its in cold boot and was stuck there where i could do nothing but shut it back down. any ideas what i should try next?
You are doomed!
J/K.
Have you try to install TWRP and flash a custom ROM? Looks like your tablet is already unlocked.
i did have twrp and was running clean rom 2.5. i was gonna sell it today and my eagerness to wipe it clean i failed to have a ROM zip file ready to go and wiped the system. from what i can tell i no longer have an OS.
so i might in fact be doomed

As long as you can still get in the bootloader you'll be fine (others might correct me here). You should be able to get into USB mode and use ADB on another machine connected via USB to copy a ROM to the internal SD card. I also think TWRP can load a ROM off the removable SD card.
Good luck.
i mean i have no recovery now or anything. i can turn it of with the reset button and vol+ but if i turn it on that pic is all it does. and i cant even find a twrp download

Its Droid 4. I put it in forum there. but looks like nobody now. And I dont know if this problem is same for every android device? Sorry if it should be in different place.
I wanted wipe CM 10.2 but I have the stock rom in safestrap nad wipe everything from it and restart device
From my search online it appears that the original version was Gingerbread. The link below should still work even if you flashed to ICS because it would still be a stock update.

Good luck and don't give up. A few days ago i totally wiped my Hisense Sero 7 Pro tab and though all was lost and was about to use it for spare parts until i kept scouring the net for the stock ROM.
I have the stock rom downloaded everything. But I cant open safestrap. Only I can do is system recovery which what I understand I cant flash any rom in it. Or I can open bootloader and use fastboot where is problem that I cant find the phone in rsd :/
So you put your phone in RSD mode and then connected your USB cable and then couldn't find your phone?

Put the flashable zip in an sd card and flash from recovery..
Sent from my Xperia Go using Tapatalk
Your battery has to be at least 70% before you do anything. Then find where your Safestrap recovery is on your device. Then you go into RSD mode and as 74NK suggested with the ROM you downloaded on sd flash it to your device.
Again, good luck.
here's a solution
go it into the recovery mode by pressing(VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache(optional according to your rom) @advanced
there you click install zip from sd card
there you choose your rom zip files then install zip
flash it
reboot system
enjoy your custom rom
@op did it work out for you?
