everytime i try to install from sd card, it then gets lost and cannot read it. i was using sky ics.

That recovery doesnt work as far as I remember

is there a solution? one that does a hard wipe and fresh install?
the problem lies somewhere in the cache...

Yeah it's the same procedure as flashing a stock firmware.
Just make sure you place the tar in PDA and DO NOT check repartition!!!!!!!!
There are instructions in the thread I linked, though

It is working!!! Thanks a bunch!!!

CWM 5.0.2.8 Question

I installed AntonX's SGS4G Kernel with a Twist v1.1.3 which includes CWM. At first CWM was red (which I understand is the latest version. Then today I booted into CWM and the text was light blue. It still said v5.2.0.8 but I just thought it was weird. Did something go wrong or anything?
Also tried to flash a modded GB ROM and it came back with this:
ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-AntonX.1.1.3.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/SGS4G Development/ROMs/ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-AntonX.1.1.3.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
Any help?
Thanks.

Something got messed up. Kernel 1.13 includes cwm blue. Was that the error you got when you were trying to install a different rom?

Could be a bad download, but you might also want to just keep the zip file in the root of the sdcard.
CWM might have a problem with that directory with a space in it! (not unix friendly!)

Your so smart bhundven I didn't even think about the directory.

Oh I didn't know 1.1.3 comes with CWM blue. Because I had AntonX's previous kernel (same kernel, previous version) and it had the red CWM, which I thought was the latest and/or best CWM (even though I'm pretty sure both are v5.0.2.8). Not true (that red is better)?
But no that's not the error I got, it was this:
ROM-sms-T959V-GB2.3.6-antsvx.1.1.3.zip

That's what CWM said when I tried to flash the ROM.

Ok, so you are on the newer 1.1.3? or you are still having problems flashing.
Like I said before, directory names with spaces in them are bad. This is why cwm is failing to open the zip file.
Please either, change the space to an underscore '_' or move the zip file to the root of the sdcard.

Good call, I was thinking that might have something to do with it.

Bricked Or Not Bricked?

I have a friends G2x here I wiped his sdcard cause he said he had a back up but he did not but we had it running on hellfire. He wanted me to install CM7 for him so I went ahead did a factory data reset, wiped cache, delvik, and formated his /sdcard cause it was full and he said he had everything on his computer. Well After doing the wipes an formatting I mounted the sdcard via cwm and put on the cm7.zip and gapp.zip flashed both went to reboot and now it only gets to the second LG boot logo with I guess cm7 design behind it and then reboots so I am bootlooping but I am able to boot into recovery still so I am like WTF happend? lol Ive tried a few things already but I was wondering if anyone had this happen to them? By the way my friend only backed up photos no his whole sdcard so I have no Nandriodbackup :crying: FAIL
also just found out via CWM trying to mount internal SDCARD I get this error:
E: Cant Mount /emmc/
seems like there is no /sys file when I do error report i get
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/stat: No Such File or directory

Was CWM flashed using nvflash or ROM Manager?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'd use nvflasher and start from scratch. also did you goto mounts and format system?
i always do before flashing new rom.
Sent via G2x on CM7 b135.2 w/faux 52 kernel

Well original install I am not sure he bought the phone an it was rooted but I did do nvflash to cwm and to stock to see if either would boot and it didnt work either way it but I did the NVFLASH CWM so I could have CWM recovery but right now all i can do is boot into recovery if I try to boot system it just bootloops
I have formatted /sys , /sdcard, attempted to format /emmc but it gets an error and says cant mount skip format is it possible his internal sdcard or memory is dead?

Try using the Batch Cleanup tool. You can find it in the Dev section. Then flash a GB ROM and see what happens

The G2X is nearly impossible to brick. There is almost no way to brick it. There will always be an answer from the community ready to help.

Ok I am going to try to use that batch clean up tool in the dev section will post results

Ok so did the batch had done it early as well here is a pic of the cmd I ran looks good to me and I am able to boot into recovery but once more I end up boot looping I attempted to install cm7 should I try a different gb rom?

Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone I finally got it did the batch clean up then went ahead and located stock rooted nandroid backup files setup the directory in the sdcard and then restored back up and Booted right up into stock rooted device! I then re-attempted to flash the cm7 latest stable an sends me into boot loop so I am going to say that the rom .zip on that latest cm7 stable is corrupt or something went ahead to the previous stable before that one and flashed it booted right up ! so Thanks a lot again guys and hopefully this will be helpful to anyone else that may encounter this same issue I knew it could be fixed since I could boot into recovery

Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

I think a simpler fix is simply this:
1-flash stock recovery
2-boot into stock recovery
I have not heard of this not working yet.

This method was posted awhile ago. Though I suppose it didn't have your nice little .bat.

Please Help!
I can't flash anything to my phone, says can't mount /sdcard. while in recovery, but the sdcard is still accessable through the OS.
The red dragon link is down, says there's to much traffic to the public link. Is there another way to obtain this? I need to flash a call quality fix for Sense 5. Can't hear anything on any outgoing calls.

Stuck in a bootloop

Hello everybody!
I'm posting today cause I got stuck in a bootloop when trying to factory reset from a freshly flashed Asus stock rom.
I was previously tinkering with cynaogenmod installs when I found myself facing those kind of errors:
Code:
E: Can't mount / cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount / cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open / cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open / cache/recovery/last_log
Since I was unable to flash anything from that point via recovery, I flashed the latest asus stock rom via fastboot and the tablet booted again.
Then I flashed CWM recovery to be able to flash CM11 again but I got the "Can't mount" errors again so I booted the tablet on the stock rom and tried a "Factory reset" from the Settings menu...
Now I'm stuck on this nice screen and everytime I try to coldboot the tablet I'm unable to access fastboot anymore... It boots directly to that screen and never gets past it!

You should NEVER use the "Wipe Data" option from the bootloader or factory reset from Settings with a custom recovery installed! Any kind of wipe or format can and should be done from recovery.
But don't worry - you'll be fine.
The factory reset command starts the recovery and asks it to wipe the data partition. And you keep interrupting it. I've seen your scenario a number of times. Connect your tablet to a power source and let it do it's thing. Go to bed. Sleep over it. The next morning it'll most likely be finished.
And before you flash anything else, check your bootloader and recovery versions. Most likely one or both are incompatible with CM 11 or each other.

I've done the exact same thing, was in a hurry and wasn't thinking... I never usually do a factory reset from settings, I don't know what I was at. I hope your right and it will come on eventually. I can't boot to Recovery I can't boot to fastboot, nothing works... Its a nice brick at the moment. Did you ever get this sorted?
