Hi i own a rooted lg p500 witch broken my sd card when i was going to flash a new rom. Now i need you help guys ! I cant get in to recovery screen , it keeps booting up in a bootloop... What shuld i do ?
I have tested the sd card i my computer and it cant find it... so i tested to put a new rom on an nother card, but it dosent work. I have not installed ADB on the phone ither. PLEAS HELP MEE
Sorry for my bad writing.

you dont install adb on your phone, adb is android debug bridge, and its installed on your windows based computer.... i sugguest you get a new mini sd card from walmart install android sdk on your computer and reboot to recovery.
from command prompt.
cd C:/
adb reboot recovery
now the lg recovery will default the phone unless you have a custom recovery flashed
once the phone reboots from recovery the new sd card will populate with required files.
also make sure the new sd card is in the phone before you reboot to recovery.

HELP!!!! TF101 C10 SN borked

Ok, So I've got a problem, I caused myself of course. I've been running one of the Jelly Bean beta roms that are out there and I wanted to go back to ICS. I've got CWM installed (the touch based one, 5.8 something) I threw Android Revolution 3.5 and the super wipe utility on the external SD card. I tried installing from that in CWM, however I couldn't mount the SD card. I moved the files from the external to the internal, and ran the wipe from there. Then I tried to install the ROM. Now I have nothing on my internal SD card, and I can't seem to mount the internal SD card in windows to put the files on the SD card to try the install again. The tablet will boot into CWM, but won't boot into anything else. If I don't boot into CWM it just stays at the Eee Pad boot screen. I've tried using a couple one click newbie applications I've found in these forums to no avail. I'm currently trying to install it via ADB (adb install C:\ROMfile.zip) and it seems to just be sitting there. I can see my device in ADB if I type ADB devices. I know all is not lost, I'm just not sure where to go from here. Thank you for your help!!!
Edit, I gave up on that and am now trying to push the file to the internal storage, but it isn't working.

Yours is one of the ones I've tried. Doesn't seem to flash a recovery, and I can't get it to install the stock firmware.
Perhaps it would help to list what programs I've tried:
Brk Root Toolkit
OneClickRecovery 0.4
Easy Flasher 0.8.3b

I can't link to the thread, noob that I am, but here was my solution to a similar problem:
OK. I managed to master the ADB command prompt well enough to "ADB Push c:\update.zip /sdcard/" Hey-zuss, there is a lot out there to read. After that, a few 2 tries with CWM got me to actually flashing '/sdcard/update.zip'
Steps I took:
Install the android SDK
Get the latest version of the ASUS ROM
Unzip the outer container.
Rename the zip carried inside to to "update.zip", and place it on 'C:\'
Start a command prompt in the directory with 'ADB.EXE' in it. (part of platform-tools for the android SDK)
In the command prompt, enter the statement, "ADB Push c:\update.zip /sdcard/update.zip'
Use ClockWorkMod to flash a new ROM, and chose the 'update.zip' from the root directory.
Chew nails.
(mine failed, so as a true windows user, I tried it again)
Chew nails.
Success.
The android SDK is easy to fin/install
The ASUS ROM is available from asus (find downloads/firmware for your system)
Now to time backup the ROM I have with CWM so I never have to do this again!

I've tried a couple times to use ADB push to put a ROM on my SD card, and every time ADB has said it successfully transferred the file. Yet when I boot into CWM I can't seem to find it, nothing at all is on my SD card, no folders, nothing, after the super wipe script for Revolution. I'll try again, and continue to do so. I've also found Wheelie which supposedly gets me NVflash on my SBKv2 TF101 that I might try and use to flash my tablet back to stock.
edit: well, for some reason this time the push worked! I'm up and running again!!! Thanks all so much!

Wiped SD card phone wont boot

So basically i looked around on the forum cause i was getting crap battery and it said to wipe your SD card cause you might have a dodgy file on the phone, i did that and now the phone wont boot at all i dont have any roms to flash on it and the computer wont even seem to recognise it when i mount usb storage in CVM anyone have a clue whats going on?? and what i can do to get a rom working on it? or get it to boot
Boot into CWM recovery and connect the phone to your computer. Make sure you have ADB installed (see the links in my signature). Type "adb devices" to see if adb recognized your phone. If yes, you can transfer a rom file to the phone storage by typing:
adb push rom.zip /data/media
*Replace rom.zip with the location of the actual rom file.
Now flash the rom.

[Q] stuck in boot loop

I've got my tf300t stuck in a boot loop when i turned it on today. (Ive looked around the forums for this issue already and been able to find little or no solutions that work for me)
I'm using cm10 and twrp. last night i shut the tablet off as usual and go to turn it on today and i cant get past the white asus logo and device unlocked screen.
I can access my twrp recovery menu, wiping dalvik returns a "E:Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)" cache wipes fine no errors.
I'm unable to flash another rom or restore from a back up as well.
Fastboot says its working but in cmd prompt it wont list the device. (computer recognizes it and it shows in device manager as android adb interface)
If there is any other information needed I will be more than happy to provide it.
any tips or help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advanced.
I'm not yet very fammiliar yet with TF300, but from SGS 1 and ICS I remember one trick. If you have external microSD pluged, take it out or of you don't have it plug it in and then enter TWRP.
It probably won't work but you can try anyway.
Does TWRP have any file browser? I'm using CWM so I don't know much about TWRP.

Yeah it does have the file browser, upon initial booting i can browse an sd card ( i have a few of various sizes none seem to to be having any affect) and i can browse the internal storage as well. Booting both with and without the sd card in the device still leaves me in the boot loop.
So, can you copy new rom to sd card, then copy from sd to internal and install new rom? I think only option you have is to reinstall rom.

Be sure your sdk is up to date.
1. If you hold volume down plus power button to get to fastboot.
2. shift + control right click fastboot folder on computer then open command prompt.
3. type devices... and if it is not showing a device there something is not right.
4. you can try adb push to apply a flash if your device is not wanting to flash from sd card.

I've tried this as well. It was my first thought. Also it states in my original post that fastboot doesnt list my device, adb doesnt list it as well. Both are recent and up to date. However device manager does recognize it and windows makes the little notification sound. In safely remove devices it shows up as fastboot when i enable fastboot on the device.

Need help!!! :(

You should mount the sd card using recovery and then use your PC to copy the zips you need back to your sd card and then flash them. Some recoveries will automatically mount the sd card as soon as you connect the phone and the PC with the usb cable. In others you may have to go into the mounts (or Mounts and Storage) menu and select mount USB storage or sd card.

Try to push rom file through adb side load..
I happened to me once..
Try this..

Plug her into computer
Make sure drivers are working for adb by mounting storage than running the command "adb devices" assuming you have set up your sdk. if your device shows up. Run this
"adb push ROM.zip*/data/media" in the prompt.
If your device is not recognized.
Update drivers manually using the device manager on your computer. You will need to install the drivers. That's easy. Just look up how to. That should fix it with minimal confusion

Phone not recognised by PC

Hello,
So I made the mistake of wiping my sdcard partition, so I don't have the .zip with the ROM on the phone's memory.
The ROM I currently had was deleted aswell when I formatted /system/. Recovery works, but because I don't have an external SD card, I can not put anything on the phone memory.
So now, I can not push the zip file with adb because my Moto G is not recognised, even though I installed all the drivers (in AP Flashboot Mode) it says that the USB is connected, but "adb devices" shows nothing.
So in a few words, phone memory is empty, it's not recognised by the PC so I can not push the .zip with adb sideload.
have you tried to connect an USB stick (in cwm or TWRP)?
Probably you can mount it and install a zip.

I found a version of the Universal ADB Drivers, installed them and the adb sideload worked.
Let this be a lesson for others with phones that don't have external SD cards - NEVER delete the ROM from your phone's internal memory
FIXED
Are you using Win8 or Win7? I have read posts from people that had problems using fastboot commands in Win8.
