HELP!
I tried loading some ROMs on my Samsung Captivate and after a couple of successful attemps ( i just didnt like the look of them ) i tired another one and it didn't work. My phone would no longer fully boot. And after me screwing around for a while, everything on the internal sd card got erased and i no longer have any ROMs there to install. And now the phone wont startup and i cant see it on the computer.
Is there anyway I can install a ROM from either my ex sd card, or my computer and is there a way to put the ROM onto the phone.
Well since you wiped your SD card, your. update. zip for clockwork recovery is gone. So you wont be able to just go into recovery now and mount your SD card to add a new rom from pc or re-install one saved. If only you wouldn't have wiped the SD. Easiest way i can think of would be just go in downloadmode and flash back to stock, depending on your revisiion ( mine is 1008) I'd use the A10 toolbox/ captivate toolbox. It has everything you'll need. So.. stock, re-root ( either superoneclickroot or A10 toolbox ) get rom manager, flash clockwork, go into stock recov. And re install packages twice, put a rom. On your phone , back to recovery, install zip from SD.

Try putting it into download mode (I forgot how to do it so google it). And then once your in download mode, download the original firmware onto your computer, and then use Odin to flash back to stock . This process has worked with my old Vibrant time and time again.

I was attempting to install a custom ROM on my T-959 Vibrant, and upon the suggestion of a friend, did a factory reset before I tried to install the rom. Now the ROM will not install (it shuts down when it cant mount the data), and my phone will not boot. I can get into the recovery menu, and into download mode (although ODIN will not connect to my phone in download mode for some reason). Also, for some reason, when my recovery menu is supposed to go to the sd card, it goes to the internal memory. Can anyone help?
Are you using the Vibrant tool kit?

I found this very useful.. I flashed to stock, rooted then used that to flash a rom on.
If you aren't using it then I'd suggest trying it, if you are using it then I don't know.
So just a while ago i tried to download a Cyanogen Mod nightly off Rom Manager for my G2x and I backed up my stock rooted rom of course before going through with the wipes and everything and it seemed to have gone though very quick and when it booted back on all it did to my phone was wipe it and pretty much restore it. Now when I go try to Manage and Restore backups nothing is there! So in other words the Nightly didn't go through for some reason and for another weird reason my Backup I did right before isn't there and showing up either. I know it's there also because I checked under Linda File Manager and it's under my Clockwork Mod file. Any ideas or thoughts?
Try moving the backup from internal SD to external SD its in a file called clockworkmod

it's already in that folder. this isn't my first time flashing and backing up before and all but this is the first time I have on the G2x and the first time i've ever encountered a problem like this. is there something i'm supposed to do to make rom manager work completely? i remember i used to boot into recovery a couple weeks back and I wouldn't be able to properly navigate and choose what I wanted but then now when I randomly tried today it worked and i was able to boot into recovery perfectly through rom manager but for some reason my backup won't show up and now I'm a little scared lol
have you not tried search yet. If you did search then you would have found that Rom Manger does not work with the G2X you need to use the recovery flashed from NVflash to do backups. So you have to boot into recovery by holding down vol-d + power. If you have not flash recovery from NVflash then do not do the vol-d + power or you will hard reset your phone.
I have the Nexus S from Telus.
It was rooted, unlocked, running CM7. However I've been having issues with it freezing and decided I want to go back to the stock rom.
I ended up downloading what I thought was stock ROM for my phone (Stock GRH78 Nandroid Backup in this Tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093) however after it flashed my phone, I ended up with a phone which was essentially stuck in Airplane mode, would not connect to Telus. I'm guessing that it has the wrong radio for my phone/carrier?
So then I ended up finding a zip file someone posted Stock-GRJ22-i9020A-unsigned which should have worked, I ended up flashing the zip file from recovery.
It said it installed fine. Rebooted, and now the phone just cycles the Samsung Loading screen endlessly.
I tried to go back to recovery, and it gives me yellow triangle with !.
Is there any way to flash the recovery image back to the phone?
I plug the phone in and the PC won't recognize a device.
I installed the Android SDK
Ran the command adb devices, no devices attached to the PC.
I tried fastboot devices - blank
I don't know how I'll be able to get files back onto the phone SD Card for flashing etc...
I had the exact problem two days ago...flashed an image that jacked my phone up. Wouldn't boot past the google logo. Sat there indefinitely.
Read this thread and see if you can get it work. In a nutshell, you need the PDA net drivers installed. Since PDA net can't install the app on your phone (because it's not booted into an OS) leave the install program in limbo and voila, fast boot will work. From there, push the recovery.img (google Clockworkmod recovery image), boot into recovery and you are off to the races.
This is, of course, assuming you already have a ROM image on your internal SD card you can flash to get back up and running. I'm not sure how to install a .zip image ROM if you can't gain access to your SD card.

Good luck, I know the feeling. It blows.
Ah, just found out how to install a file on a phone that won't boot.
You do need to flash CWM recovery first though.

Good news! I tried a factory reset/data wipe and rebooted the phone.
It doesn't hang anymore, all functions restored and the phone is working on Telus again!
I guess I had to format data, clear cache, before the flash of the rom.
So relieved.
Issue has been solved!
I was tryin to flash starbust but i did it wrong so when i went back to recover the rom that was previously on there i recovered back to a rom that was still on the sd card from my evo. Now i'm stuck on the "samsung galaxy s II" screen. I have access to CWM but my sd card is not visible for me to flash any other rom. What should i do?
Mount your sdcard in CWM, connect to your pc push, a new ROM to flash on there.
If thats not possible, go into download mode, open odin or heimdall, find a rom you want to flash and flash it.
Ok finally got it working. I had to put the stock kernel on it and flashed the pit as well..only thing, if I make a recovery file I can't find it in CWM. The "midnight rom" I flashed works well but there's a few fcs but that's probably just this rom.
I tried following some guide online to get my S3 rooted and running stock Jelly Bean and all was going so well...Casual Root worked like a charm, cyanogen all set. But when I went to install the ROM and Gapps in recovery it kept getting hung up. I assumed this was due to encryption on the device from my work email, so I went back to factory andremoved the account and decrypted the device.
Then it was back to recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps. All seemed to go well,the ROM installed fine, Gapps installed fine, but reboot got stuck at the cyanagenmod loop. I had mad a backup of the original ROM, but I must have saved it to the internal SD card by accident before i factory wiped. I thought my best bet would be to load the Gapps and ROM onto my external SD and flash from there, but I cant get it to mount.
The one good thing that I can do is get to the Odin boot screen. Anyone think there's a chance I can get Odin to flash something that will boot? And does anyone have suggestions of what to flash?
