Hey guys and gals, today while at work my phone decided to shut off and then come back on which isnt uncommon . But when it came back on it is now stuck on the samsung screen and thats it . I can boot into download mode and even into CWM recovery but it wont allow me to mount my sd card to do a restore . So my question is ,what can I do to get this back to normal or will I have to ODIN all over again ? Oh and im on stock ep4d

try wiping just cache and dalvik in CWM (make sure its CWM too and not stock recovery, just making sure since you said you're on stock GB) and see if it'll let you boot fully after that... if still nothing you may lose your data and just have to do a full wipe or Odin

Yes its a rooted stock . I have the yellow CWM ,and I have wiped everything I possibly can as Im not worried about loosing the data . Lol looks like when I get home i will have to reodin . But thanks I was trying to avoid that . The part Im really worried about is I tried 2 different sd cards and neither will mount in order do a restore or to flash a new rom . Any suggestions on that ? Thanks

maybe your sd card slot got fried somehow. I would get the phone up and running by flashing a rom using odin. i know some roms say u have to use cwm, but im pretty sure the allinone rom can be done in odin. if after that u cant get an sd card to work u may need to talk to verizon n see if theyll send u a new charge.
Yeah just flash the all on one package. Make sure you take out your SD card before you flash just in case it isn't fried.

usually, the phone will hang on SAMSUNG if it can't mount any of the devices (primarily /system).

I could boot into recovery, and I could not get it to mount to the SD card but it would mount the system. Got my new charge yesterday and didn't waist any time loading it up with infinity. Hopefully it wont happen again.

Here is goes... so my buddy tells me he flashed to cm7 trinity, but when I turn the phone on it loads to froyo without a baseband. Won't connect to either sd (says cards are busy).
It also seems he reset the phone so cwm is gone but the back ups are still on the micro SD. I have the nvidia flash and LG update. Neither acknowledge that phone but do mine. Any new ideas will be helpfully.
Thanks

reflash cwm recovery, put the stock nandroid that is listed in the dev section into your recovery folder, restore than and start over brotha
Sorry I ment to say no boot. Cwm is gone. I wish it was that easy. I'm ready to tell him to box it up and ship it off to LG and eat the fees.

A reset wouldn't wipe your recovery image. Do you still have root? And, have you tried pulling the micro sdcard out?
Sounds like he didn't NVFlash CWM. That would be you're first step.
ok so i rooted my xoom the other day flashed hammer head 2.1. restored my tablet to stock rooted rom buwhen i did i have now found a way to lock my device. i can boot up and have my su icon available to me however i cannot gain root access even through adb it tells me the file system is read only. so i figured i some how unrooted the device and proceeded to begin the root process for honeycomb. however when trying to push su over to the tablet it tells me the file failed to transfer because the file system is read only what do i do now? Any help would be appreciated.

your a noob mate seriously... these board are full of people like you... 1.. download the stock images from
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/MZ604_HWI69.zip/
if your device is a wifi only and then push the files with fastboot...
ie.. unzip the folder into where the adb fastboot exe are
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. fastboot flash user user.img
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (as you obviously cant handle root..)
Dont have to be an ass about it. But yeah already tried that when i try to push the files it tells me there is no such directory found. So i made sure in cwmr the system was mounted then it tries to transfer but tells me the directory is read only. So i tried the unlock procedure to make sure the tablet was unlocked. everything goes smoothly till i try to transfer the files again.

Not talking mounting in cwm here bud
Get to fastboot mode not android recovery same process power plus vol down
Then flash the files not push as mounting in cwm only put the files on sd card not flashing it outright from what your reply was
I was a noob once and soft bricked everything and yet i read and read and fixed stuff myself through searching.. Cuz ultimately if its bricked what do u have to lose then ey lol just find and try everything cant make a worse paperweight than one u may already have eh
But get to fastboot not cwm then flash the files like i said and it will almost certainly work

Thats my other problem my sd card slot isnt wrkn that was my initial instinct. If i try to flash to the sd card it says no directory found. Ive used 3 different sd cards and get the same message. Im really thinkin i got a bad sd slot even when it was rooted and running i had issues with the sd card not wrking. I had several back ups on it when it did wrk and those dissappeared as well. I bought the xoom soley because of the sd card slot was pretty much going to be my saving grace when doing back ups if i ever messed up. I tried wrking it in fastboot as well if i try to flash to the system its read only. If i flash to the sd card directory not found. I know these questions are irritating to more savy individuals and i looked around trust me the last thing i like to do is say der i dun broke it i need an adult. Im just makin sure i didnt over look something more savy ppl know about. I honestly think its bricked at this point. Ive tried what you said and any other way i can think of but i alway get some kind of error.

Ok thats a very helpful link. Did not know they had a special recovry for the xoom or realize that it wiped out all media if i didnt have this recovery. Lesson learned however i think its bricked solid now cuz it wont charge or come on at all may very well be a bad unit but i c where i went wrong with su as well i flashed 3.0 with out the chmod 4577 during the su update from cwm. Well im going to grab another one from bb and c what happens the unit is non responsive at this point. Thanks to everyone that posted here for the help.

you needed to flash the recovery with FASTBOOT.. not adb push chmod stuff; much easier and the process works
read the top post again.. get the recovery.img file (the v3 one the other fellow told you to grab)
1. hold the volume down button and the power button... some text will come on up the top about fasboot protocol and then
2. leave it plugged in to your computer and DONT TOUCH THE XOOM...
3. get your cmd.exe prompt window out and navigate to where your adb.exe AND fastboot.exe files are (should be tools or platform-tools...)
4. Place the recovery.img file into the explorer window where the adb.exe and fastboot.exe both are.... (this should be there as u keep trying to use adb commands but do it again to make sure)
5. type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
thats the recovery.img flashed...
Got my xoom replaced the other day works fine have root flashed the above mention cwm and everything worked fine. Funny thing tho when they checked to see if the original device had been unlocked they said it was still locked and they gave me a replacement. Other wise id have had to use the warranty i bought. Just thought that was odd.

Was wondering if this method to odin is legit;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6H-5SSE0E0
Trying to flash rom and for some reason get stuck at wipe data factory reset. CWM freezes, and have to reboot phone. Phone is back to factory settings after reboot. Was wondering if the odin method above is the problem. When I first tried flashing i forgot to check the mounts (yes i know rookie mistake) But after using the odin to get out of the soft brick. My phone gets stuck like mentioned above. tried rooting in various methods, all with same end result. begining to think that the pit file, or the odin file is messed up. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yeah that is legit ( used it before n where did u get the odin ?

Yea odin works fine. I actually jus went back to stock earlier. But after rooting and cwm, and all the rom stuff on the root of the sd card. I go to wipe data factory reset option, click yes and then I get stuck on the anroid secure garbage. My screen looks like what I posted. And it can sit for up to 30 minutes with no change in the screen. Not sure what I'm doin wrong.

I tried to install Slim ICS on my HTC one X. So I did a complete wipe and then I flashed Device_x.x.zip***, and then Slim_Common.zip
But now my phone keeps rebooting and rebooting and rebooting. There is nowhere to go, even if I go to recovery and try to wipe again it goes straight back to the Slim install screen and it starts rebooting again :crying:
Does anyone have any idea how I can get out of this loop?

I think I did yes. I did everything according to the instructions. I did install custom roms on this device before. No problems then. Whatever I do now it keeps going back to the install screen.
I'd recommend you check the md5 for the Rom if it fails download it through Ur pc and transfer via recovery menu (if your recovery supports it)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...very_-_what_to_do_in_the_event_of_a_bad_flash
I then flashed another recovery program and that one DID let me clear cache etc. so no more install screen! However....when I want to flash a zip from sdcard it says no such file! Sdcard seems empty but I am 100 % sure I did not format that!
So question now is how do I install when it's not on my sdcard. you were saying transferring though recovery but how do I do that. Mount USB storage does not work: unable to open ums 1unfile. Oh my...I need a beer
Well I give up! I am now going to try to unroot and get back to stock since you can install stock rom through USB. Flashing stock recovery works....I got that far Now I have to wait a few hours for the rom dowload to finish so I guess I am going to get that beer now. I sure hope I don't have to throw my phone out of the window tonight
My phone is locked again, RUU, and SDARD works. Sorry for the drama but I really thought I bricked my phone. I think I will leave it alone tonight......and start rooting again tomorrow
Lol its all good. Sorry for leaving haha mw3 lol and I don't have the one x I got the LTE EVO

Hey guys,
Just experienced what I think is a soft brick. I know that this has been talked about a dozen times, and I have searched. I just want a more experienced yes or no to be sure.
Basically, last night I tried flashing PAndroid on my skyrocket and I went through the format system, format data, factory reset, and wipe cache. Then when I went into flash a zip it said something to the effect of "E: Can't access SD Card". So then I tried to use my band road but that also gave me the error. I then tried to mount the SD card, but it gave me another error. So, guessing that it would just factory reset me, I rebooted.
Now, my phone will vibrate and flash the Samsung logo before going to a black screen (but the screen is on). It also had the symptom of sticky power button for a while with the few second interval buzzing, but I jammed the power button and it seemed to stop doing that and is now doing the aforementioned thing instead.
Should I go use Vincom's soft Brick guide? Also, does anyone have a link to a 7zip extractor that isn't riddled with viruses? (had a hell of a time getting rid of them the first time I rooted haha)
Again, I know this is probably a fairly obvious answer, but yall have just been so helpful in the past that it makes me want to come here before just winging it. And I'm really nervous with this being my first time haha.
Thanks a lot guys, yall are the best!

You wiped system. That's why nothing is happening. You should still be able to enter recovery. Now why your recovery was giving you that error is a different story. Go to recovery and copy the version down here.

Okay, I managed to get into recovery, but I'm still getting the error about the SD card not being mounted. I was looking on Google and I found two different solutions. One was to re flash CWM with Odin, but would that mess up my phone because it already has CWM on it? The other was to reformat my SD card on the computer, but I have no honest idea how to do that haha.

Re-Flashing cwm won't mess anything up. Formatting the sd card will remove everything on it including the rom you're trying to flash.
