Another brick? Please help!

I followed this tutorial (2nd post down), got some errors during the process and failed to complete it.
Now my phone hangs on the vodafone splash screen on boot. I think it is empty - without a rom.
However, it will boot to recovery and the bootloader fastboot.
Is there anything I can do to fix it or is it just a brick now?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Flitar

boot into recovery and perform update with some rom
you will need to have some external device to write your microsd

If you get to a modded recovery image, you can run adb
1. Run "adb shell".
2. Once you're connected, remount the microsd card (it the os is broken it doesn't mount it automatically, at least on my phone) by running "mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard"
3. Run "exit" on the terminal, so you can go back to your desktop computer.
4. Copy an update file to the sd card using adb, for example: "adb push [name_of_the_file] /sdcard/update.zip
5. Run the update from the recovery menu.
6. Reboot.
If that doesn't work, and if you did a nandroid backup, you still can update using fastboot by using the image files from the sd card (wich, by the way, you can copy from the phone back to the pc by using the command "adb pull [remote_file_name] [local_file_name]

Thanks you guys!
Sorted, phone is fine now.

Please Help!!!!!!!!

I am trying to restore my Gtab using a micro sd card. I already had Clockwork install. So here is the steps I use
On the SD card I reformatted it and add the "Recovery/ command with SD2 and save the file. I also update the update.zip file
So I held up the volume + and power and it rebooted to Clockworkmod recovery, but I can not access the SD2 card to install the update.zip file. So how can I reboot into the system restore and not Clockworkmod recovery. Please tell me if I am doing something wrong? I can not get it to continuing booting up

The /sdcard/recovery/command is only for when you have the stock recovery installed. You have clockwork installed.
Option 1) So what you need to do is put your update.zip onto your internal /sdcard partition when you are booted into your ROM. Then boot into clockwork, and run it.
Option 2) If you cannot boot into your ROM, hopefully you have a backup that you made in clockwork that you can restore to a working state. Then run the update.zip from clockwork.
Option 3) If you don't have a backup and cannot boot into your current ROM. You can push the update.zip to /sdcard with ADB.
adb push update.zip /sdcard

Do you know the instructions on how to use the adb push update.zip/sdcard?

Dang, so you don't have a working ROM and don't have a clockwork backup? If you don't have ADB setup either, then that does kinda put you in a bad position.
At least this will give you the incentive to setup ADB. Here is a guide: http://wiki.tegratab.com/index.php/Setting_up_ADB
Btw, that is the literal command when you get it working. Change directory to the update.zip, then:
"adb push update.zip /sdcard"

You could also go into clockwork and mount usb storage. Then copy the file to your tablet from your pc.

I was until to get the update file on the root on the internal mem but when I try to install it will not let me it just install update and go right to the Clockwork reboot screen

Is it a way I can completely bypass clockwork?

Was able to fix it guys thanks

Only CWM on my TF101G B90...

Hi all,
I'm here because I need your help...
Days ago I installed on my TF101G the recovery CWM 5.8.1.8...
now I can just go into recovery mode and if I try to mount /data I receive the message "no location found"...
how can I push a Rom on my TF to try to install it?
thanks in advance for your help

how to flash a ROM
The ROM to be flashed must be cwm flashable, you cannot flash official firmware unless it is repacked to be cwm flashable.
Your ROM must be a zip file, do not unzip it.
Copy (or adb push) the ROM to /sdcard/
Reboot tab into recovery.
Follow cwm flash instructions. There are many such a manual available on-line, one of them is:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
You can just jump to section "apply update from sdcard", which tells you how to use cwm recovery to flash a ROM
One thing you should pay attention is:
if the ROM to be flashed is only a update to your current ROM, do not do any wipe work.
If it is a new ROM, you must do the wipe.

You can also try this....
hi Fenice82,
read this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
and read message 1 and 313 for mounting and the adb commands for sending cmw flash file to your internal card of your TF.
Make sure you have the cwm flashable rom file on you computer in the adb dir.
good luck.

I'm hege again...
thk nlheiz for your post...
I push the rom in my TF... I tried different location...
data/media
or
data
or
system
or
sdcard
or
sdcard/rom
if I go in adb shell and I use command mkdir to make a new folder like system,data,sdcard I see the the file already exist...
but my tf "can't mount /sdcard/" and at the same time if i try to mount /data from recovery I see the message
"Error mounting /data!"
what can I do now?
edit... maybe this can help you...
via ADB shell
mount data
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 on /data failed: Invalid argument

How about restore stock recovery and ROM? Here is a recent guide for root/unroot/downgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628

I don't have experience with cwm 5.8.1.8, I stayed on 3.2.0.1 because it is possible to flash from external sdcards.
cold you try this:
put our tablet into cwm (volume - plus power and when asked volume +) and connect it to usb on pc.
then on your pc:
adb devices
this should give you a serial number back.....
then try this:
to mount the internal sdcard so that you can push a new rom- use
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /data/
ls /sdcard/
exit
then from your pc, type:
adb push /path/to/your/rom.zip /data/media
I found this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23256536 in post 3......
let me know if this works

[Q] Help! TWRP Won't Mount /sdcard for flashing!

I ran a recovery in TWRP to get my phone back to the phones original rom after being on AOKP JB Build 4 on my AT&T One X, but now it stays on the HTC boot screen with the red legal warning on it and TWRP can't mount /sdcard to flash back to another rom. I really hope that this isn't a brick but can someone shine some light on this issue and a possible fix? Help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: Was able to get AOKP flashed back by mounting /data as /sdcard, phone boots into it and I can use it, but the internal storage (/sdcard) is nonexistent and won't mount.

format sdcard in your computers os. make sure not to factory reset or clear storage in bootloader or it will corrupt sdcard.

I can't get the phone to mount as a removable drive because of the problem with /sdcard, so I can't format it from my computer.

Don't worry about the red text. We all have that. And it is not bricked.
Can you turn the phone on with the stock ROM you flashed? If so, can you mount the SD card while it is on, booted up in phone mode? If, mount it there, then move your new rom to your phone.

Hello,
I have a similar issue, i can get into TWRP recovery, but i am not able to mount sdcard. My mistake was that i did fastboot flash boot boot.img but i neglected to actually flash the room and i didn't put the rom in the sdcard, so now i need to mount the sdcard to load the rom to flash it, but that is where i am stuck, is there a way to copy files into the sdcard via adb or any other way?
Any help will be greatly appreciated it.
Thank you.

I think what you need to do then is flash the ROM from your bootloader. I found this guide with directions explaining how to flash from the bootloader by googling How To Flash Rom from Bootloader in the XDA Wiki. Here are the steps
ROM Flashing
Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
reboot your device into fastboot mode via one of the following options.
adb reboot bootloader (requires USB debugging to be turned on).
power off the device then back on with 'vol up' + power button.
Wipe your device.
fastboot -w
Update your ROM.
fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>
Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.
ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip

thanks for the reply but the procedure is not working,
when in fastboot through cmd i get
fatsboot -w

Lol this just happen toe last night what u need to do is boot into bootloader then plug it USB cable to ur phone and format your sdcard it make sure u download a Rom to your computer before this it can be any tom you like after you format you can put the Rom on ur sdcard and flash and u will be golden

loading into bootloader doesn't allow the computer to read/access the sdcard keep in mind this is the HOX so the sdcard is the internal memory, i could get into the recovery and then try to mount it that way and format from there but for some reason i can't select the option mount sdcard.

I did it. Apparently you can install a zip ROM from SD card once you repartition it from the recovery. There is an option to partition the SD card in the Recovery.
After that, restart the phone, go into recovery again, connect to the PC using a USB cable, and use the USB mount option if you want to copy the ROM without removing the microSD card from the phone. Copy the zip ROM to the sdcard and try installing the ROM again. It worked for me !
I was installing the Pico ROM from this tutorial:

TWRP Mounting SD card

Click to expand...

So I think I may have currupted my sdcard. I'm running CM-12 4/21/15 nightly. I'm a nubie at this stuff and have read everywhere I can think of on the forums. When I try to reboot to bootloader from TWRP recovery if goes immediately to the do no remove USB connection FIRMWARE Update. I am worried that this will un-root me with AT&T being jerks and fixing the bumped bootloader. So, I have always just pulled the battery, plus it never has any progress on the %downloaded bar.
To try to fix the issue I may have just made it worse and created too many partitions or corrupted the SD by doing exactly what you said not to do above. Before I did a TWRP wipe (not the advanced version) the SD card was mounted, but some apps like google play music kept saying external storage removed. I did the wipe and saw the factory reset screen and said ok. I had to download all my apps again and then switched to Google Now launcher I orginally rooted and bootloader unlocked with bump on a different smaller external SD card. I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it.
I'm almost unsure what to ask you or other more experienced users what to do.

eee. how about on my samsung galaxy j5 sm j500h? i wanted to mount my phone to pc but i cant. was planning to fix my phone cause im stucked on bootlogo due to flashing xposed-v72-sdk22-arm.zip. Hoping that you guys can help me out.

Also did following
1) Your phone is rooted and up and running in custom recovery (CWM,)
2) You have proper drivers installed in your Windows (Samsung ADK + LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1)
3) You have USB debugging enabled in the phone (Yup, did it before rooting the phone)
however .... in the CWM recover, still didnt show out "adb sideload" & the cmd.exe still showing "error : device not found"
