Please help me, I had my nexus rooted for the longest and been using it, when to put a rom on and I bricked it, I deleted the wrong things on the phone, I have clockwork mod on the phone and I can only get into boot loader/fast boot.
The phone does not boot into any os on the phone, what do I do?
on your pc type the commands to reinstall CWM and then
on CWM go to mount and storage/ format system/ factory reset/ delete cache and dalvik/ restore from a backup
when i plug the phone into my PC nothing happens, also I think thats where I mess up, I deleted all my restore points, So I think I'm screwed
first try to reflash cwm from windows http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-install-clockworkmod-touch-on-rooted-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g/ go to mount and storage to mount your usb to your pc and put the rom zip to flash it again !!
my issue is, I can't get the drivers to pick up the phone, I download Adnroid SDK and installed the usb drivers, and even the Samsung drivers, it keeps coming as 1.0 android in device manager, with an uninstalled driver.
Try to install PDANet http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php then reboot and try again to flash..
try another pc... maybe it will work
ok I got the phones drives and now it sees it as Android Phone, but now when I try do the recovery while in CMD I cant seem to get the dos to locate where I have the Nexussrecoverytouch folder with the files....This is driving me crazy, because I didn't this before.
try to use Odin, because I'm doing the same mistake that you and I thought my phone was dead. But after having to use nickel as if Odin phone had just come out of factory
You don't use "cmd" when in recovery. When you use cmd what you are actually using is fastboot. And the phone needs to be in fastboot not recovery
Fastboot would be used to flash custom recovery. But you said you already have it on the phone. So that is pointless.
Download a rom on your computer. Boot the phone into cwn. In cwm mount the USB storage while the phone is plugged into the computer. Wait for it show up in windows like a USB thumb drive ( may take up to 30 seconds or so). Drag and drop/copy and past the rom + gapps if needed on there. Unmount storage.
Do a full wipe in cwm. Format/wipe all put sdcard.
Flash rom and reboot.

I have a very serious problem with my nexus S . I've installed an app on my nexus and after that... nothing works and when i say nothing i mean nothing!! when i try to open an app says ''unfortunately this app stopped '' always... i cant use my phone even to call or to send a sms. I tried to flash new rom but i cant save anything to my usb storage memory when i try to save something on the phone after the unplug from the usb disappear like never was there. Also its impossible to delete something from the phone if i delete something after one reboot itss back there (photos , music etc.). I tried to do factory reset but when makes reboot and try to open after a min. diplays a delta(warning) sing with an android and stays there and i need to pull out the battery. Also i locked and i tried again to unlock but on the cmd says fail to unlock... i really dont know what to do if anyone has any idea will help me sooooo much.
Thnax anyway
Have you tried to mount SD through recovery. In recovery, go to mounts and storage> mount SD. Transfer freshly downloaded rom from computer then unmount SD. While still in recovery perform a complete wipe.
Mounts and storage> wipe system> wipe data> wipe cache> wipe boot. Now try and flash rom and wipe dalvik cache. Hope this works for you.

nothing i tried many times through recovery but still nothing! when unplug the usb from my computer the rom dissapear ://
This happened to me once... I tried playing a movie and it froze and rebooted and everything force closed on my... even the launcher
I flashed a different rom to fix it.. and its also a good idea to change the kernel as well

Oh right forgot about this. Unless you have a backup working rom, you can flash that first. If not try this first. go to CWM Recovery and fix permissions. Try that
If it is still not working, this is the solution if you dont need your data on your phone. First take out your mini sd card. Get a mini sd card reader from any tech shop (eg dicksmith, costco even has it, electronics store) use that to copy everything onto your SD Card. First make a copy of your current rom. (yes the one with nothing working. So if this stuffs up you can try another way)
Once you copied everything to your comp on your sd card. Plug your sd card back in. No go to recovery, and wipe ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Including sd card. Now just flash the rom and kernel (optional) and it should all work.
When i mean everything (via CWM Recovery). Wipe: cache partition, dalvik cache, battery stats, format: /sdcard /system /cache /data /boot. Also wipe SD card and SD ext.

the problem is i cant save anything and that mean i cannt flash any rom or kernel because when i plug it with my computer and try to save (through mounts and storage) new rom or kernel to phone when i make unmount or to press go back the rom disappears

If you got clockwork mod recovery.. than go into that and turn on mass storage from there

Can you see your device in fastboot devices? If yes download the Android 4.0.4 factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Unzip it in the tools folder of the Android SDK. Enter your device in booloader mode with volume up+power and insert the following order in the cmd window:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i902XXXX.img (check the proper name according to your phone)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i902XXXX.img (check the proper name according to your phone)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-soju-imm76d.zip (check the proper name according to your phone)
Just make sure you download the correct version! This is important or you can end up with a bricked phone.

Mate i followed all your instructions but! the problem now is the phone is locked because i locked it and now when i try to unlock it ALWAYS (when i press yes to unlock ) says on cmd FAILED to erase.... so i cant do anything because when i type ''fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i902XXXX.img'' says ''failed because is lock type fastboot oem unlock''
I'm afraid you're pretty much out of luck mate... every thread i searched with FAILED (remote: Erase Fail) nobody could solve it... and without unlocked bootloader we can't do much i'm afraid...
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.

I can and have tried but it wont let me flash with the "unable to mount /data" error. It tells that my external sd-card and whatever rom i attempt to flash has problems

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.
Was doing to do a fresh installation of Omni on my Nexus 5 and i accidently done a factory reset however also wiped the internal storage so the rom is now lost.
As i cannot boot the phone, i can only get into the bootloader and recovery screen, how can i manually upload files to my phones storage?
Hope you guys can help me asap.
Thanks,

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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575150
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

So i soft bricked my device while trying to install the latest 4.0.1 image. I tried hard wiping the device and wipe cache partion from Stock Recovery but didn't help, still wouldn't boot. I tried installing the image in Stock Recovery from Apply Update From External SD Card, but i got a few errors first "E:Failed to map file Operation aborted", i took a look at the file and it had about 1.67gb extra in "Userdata" i tried deleting that file and reinstalling from external sd card but then i got "E:footer is wrong" "E:signature verification failed" Operation Aborted.
Now i'm trying to install update from ADB (Surprisingly if i have the tab connected and im in Apply Update from ADB the tab is recognized in ADB
Code:
adb devices
serial # sideload and i have updated the drivers) But if i try to flash the recovery file 4.0.1 (provided from the developers site [cant post links]) "i just get waiting for device"
Anyone know how to get around this issue in ADB or properly install from external sd card without getting errors?
(Alternative read to my problem posted in the Nvidia Forums 98% sure i soft bricked my device [cant post links]
Did you ever find a fix? I'm having a similar problem.
Try to use fastboot restore everything.
I can't get it to connect to fastboot. When it loads the boot loader and I try to select fastboot protocol it fails.
Wow this thing sucks! I'm really appreciating my Samsung with Odin right now! So I finally got it to connect to fastboot (don't ask me how, I don't know) unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp. Now it won't flash supersu in adb sideload so I put it on an SD card (which now magically mounts and works now) and flashed the zip in recovery but it says at the very end of the process while trying to update the partitions that it can't mount the data and system partitions so I'm not sure if I'm actually getting root or not and if so if it's permanent I have no way to tell. I think this is because they have been accidentally wiped. Do you think it is safe to try to flash a rom in recovery from external sd card? And if so which one? I have no idea which version bootloader, kernel, or os is or was on this device...
Update: I think I may start a new thread in the Q&A/Help section so that I can try to get a vast concensus. Thanks!

Yes flash a ROM in recovery.
Try Resurrection Remix. It'll resurrect your device
Just tried flashing bliss 6.2 and it won't get past the nvidia screen. It says it flashes successfully but I still get a bunch of "can't mount such and such partition" errors during the flash sequence. Not sure what to do, I can post pics if you guys want.
If you got/can get TWRP on there now, the advanced wipe menu will allow you to check /data for errors. As for /system, wipe it. If you get errors that e2fsck can't fix in your TWRP log, you'll have to put on your data recovery hat on. If it's that important to you, my advice is to adb pull the right file under /dev/block. You won't get a block device, you'll get an exact image of your data partition. Once it's fully pulled (it'll be 10 GB or more on a 16GB device), make a copy of it first thing, and use data recovery tools (testdisk, or if you really know what you're doing, debugfs). If you don't have anything valuable on /data (remember that any backups you took from recovery go in /data/media by default), just format that and be done with it.
Pray that there are no errors after you format everything, because that usually means your NAND is toast.
If your errors are hardware ones, you're royally screwed. Same thing happened to my Nexus 7 2013 model a year ago. Only way to use it is to flash a modified kernel that will use an attached USB drive exclusively as storage. If the NAND is toast inside the boot partiti,try replacing recovery, otherwise, you have to tether boot it (fastboot boot) every time you want to run it, unless you have the guts to try repartitioning the NAND (unlike on PCs, messing up there is an instabrick).
Since the Shield Tablet can use SD cards, you're better off. No USB drive needed.
Hi guys, how have you been?
Look, recently I've installed one ROM from this forum, and because some problems and reset loops I decide to change the ROM.
So I've download a new one, and forgot to do a backup.
Enter in TRWP, did a wipe cache / dalvik / system and DATA cause I won't any old structure from another ROM.
Perfect until this moment, no problem. So after I did, normally any person go to install option select the file .zip and try to install.
Here started the problem!
I've tryed to install the wrong .zip ... the zip the TRWP found was one erro zip... the correct one was in my microSD so in this moment I realized the TRWP don't recognized my microSD, every time I try to reach this folder through /SDCARD1/ or select the disc (micro SD) the TRWP show me (microSD 0MB) and I cant select.
I tryed too mount the microSD and the TRWP don't allow me to mount the microSD.
I can only view the internal storage.
So Now I don't have any system, I just have the .zip file in my pc or microSD ... the ADB on my (fck Win10) doesn't work, only thing that works good its fastboot.
I've downloaded the .FTF correct version, to flash using flashtool ... here another problem... When I enter in ADB MODE on Z5 (green light) the phone stay like 1 minute at maximum after this the phone reboot trying to enter in system modem automatically.
So anybody can help me to save my z5? flash the FTF version through FASTBOOT. Or if can't ... teach me how I can make works the ADB SIDELOAD from TRWP, cause my ADB on PC don't work well.. every time I put "adb devices" don't appear my cellphone and now after a lot of drivers and attempts appear something about server, that can't start more than one.... something like that.
Sorry about my stupid english, it's not my first language, but I hope so somebody understand me and help me.
Really appreciate guys!
Cya
OBS.: my TRWP version it's 3.0.2-0
You can flash ftf file in flash mode, not in fastboot I think. Try to put your phone in flash mode by pressing volume down while connecting to PC and then flash your ftf from fllashtool.

thats not for here. Q&A, HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING
Hi, I had problem hope it's same as yours i was flashing new rom but the phone always went on from flashing mode and the trick is which is barely mentioned somewhere to start flashing wait till flashtool makes files ready and then it asks for your phone to connect so then you put your phone into flashing mode and connect it to pc.
