Went to flash an updated Rom on my ATT One X. Been using CWM recovery.
Reboot into recovery, wipe/factory reset.
Go to find the file, SDCard is almost completely gone/items deleted.
I load up TWRP, mount the SDCard, nothing, all gone. So I just format the SDCard, copy the new Rom over to the SDCard root.
Reboot into recovery. Try to install, when I select it in TWRP, swipe, it sits, then just reboots the app and goes back to the main screen.
At a loss right now, phone apparently soft bricked. Maybe bad Rom zip?
Rooted/Unlocked of course, been working fine the past week. Only had the phone 1 week.
Ideas? Help..haha...
Easy, except you gonna have to reunlock boot loader.you can't boot into fast boot OEM relock bootloader and run ruu. You could also try using fast boot to flash something.

Or it might be a case of twrp going bad. Fast boot flash recovery img and boot back into recovery.

It was clockwork I was using at the time.
Everytime I rebooted into recovery and selected the file to install, more stuff was missing.
I'm wondering if the SDCard got corrupt, recovery went crazy and wiped etc...or bad Rom.
Redownloaded Rom.
Reformatted SDCard for good measure since it was all pretty much gone.
Flashed TWRP back as the recovery.
Installing the Rom now. CleanRom 4.1SE.
But...all my Sh&t is gone off the SDCard. Backups, photos etc...buh-bye forever.
Side note, my camera lens area on the phone has been getting hot. Not sure where the processor is located on this phone, maybe it is just doing that while trying to install Rom and CPU is running a little hot and normal?

Cwm has been known to have instability which is why almost everyone suggests using twrp, which is officially supported.

Ok. I noticed it was nowhere near as complete and slick at say 4EXT recovery on my Inspire and suspected some weirdness was going on.
Back on TWRP now and seems to be installing the new Rom I just downloaded again.
Rebooting now...guess I should start copying my SDCard to my computer
Go to cnet.com and download recuva. Do a deep scam and it will recover most of your stuff.. worked for me.. do it on your computer.

Ok, cool, will give it a look.
The CleanRom thread blew up, apparently me and bunch of others had this happen using CWM and the latest build....
All working again, now if I can recovery some stuff, like the photos I had, that would be nice.
Appreciate the replies and help.
Edit: recuva didn't find anything useful. SDCard was blasted for good somehow.

scrosler warned very clearly (even before the latest 4.1 build) not to use CWM. Why so many people chose to ignore him, I have no idea. For some reason the SD card wipe issue was much worse on CleanROM 4.1 than previous versions (and other ROMs).
Take note that the SD wipe issue has also happened on TWRP. Safest approach is to backup SD data to your desktop computer before flashing anything. In particular, your Titanium folder and anything not easily replaceable (photos, etc.). Its a bit of an annoyance to have to do this whenever you want to flash something. But until the cause of the issue is found and fixed, this is the safest way.
Not sure why everyone is blaming the Recovery's for loosing pictures and stuff from there internal SD card. Same thing happened to me with my HTC Touch Diamond, We all came to the conclusion it was from so much flashing. I have used both recovery's and lost pictures and My Documents. Just my 2cents worth.
Is there a tutorial somewhere showing how to switch from CWM to TWRP?

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

I was flashing over clean rom from my old paranoid android and I was stupid and formated my sd card from the fastboot screen on the phone. I read on XDA that the thing to do is mount, format on computer, place rom on sdcard and install.
The rom is currently on my sd card after I formatted from computer. I am in TWRP and was under install and found the rom zip but it tells me "This operation may install incompatible software and render your device unuseable"
I stopped to ask before I make an expensive paperweight. How do I proceed?
I've never seen twrp say that... I wiped my SD card back in the day and can't remember anything like that. Are you on 1.14 Hboot? Maybe you need to adb boot.IMG first? As long as your sure its Evita ROM should be ok

This is normal. In the last 3 days I've flashed Roms back and forth and twrp WILL list this but only as a warning. It's perfectly fine. It's like a condition to cover everyone's butt except yours, since you (the owner) have taken the opportunity to change software on your phone.
If you've gotten to that screen that means you got the Rom on your sd card. Don't forget to wipe all data and a reset ALL inside of twrp. Flash away!

So I should install and then wipe cache, factory, system... etc ? Everything wiped?

Reverse the order you typed in your last post. Some Roms give that option before its flashed. However, just do it yourself. Clear cache, dalvick cache, wipe system and then factory reset ALL INSIDE twrp. Don't factory reset outside of twrp.
THEN install Rom from twrp. Notice the warning you mentioned and simply follow the install directions.

Good lord this is terrifying. haha so I installed it and now its bootlooping. I wiped in that order and everything.
NVM. Got it!! My heart stopped lol. Thanks guys.
I've had my Photon Q for 4 days. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM, and rooted using instructions in this forum and everything was working great. I had not flashed any other mods.
I bricked it today by accidentally formatting the internal SD card instead of the external one. It would only reboot into recovery (CWM) and I couldn't mount the internal SDcard from CWM. After reading several threads here I managed to get into Fastboot Mode and flash TWRP, Then, I downloaded the back-up system and boot files posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34555560&postcount=11
and placed them in the TWRP back-up folder on my external SD card as instructed.
When I try to restore from this backup I get an md5 match failure. I also tried moving the backup to the internal SDcard using the file manager in TWRP and got the same result.
Also, TWRP (2.3.3.0) isn't playing nice on my device. All the functions seem to work, but It displays the menus twice in side by side columns, though the touch controls are where they are supposed to be.
Any suggestions?
Don't use the latest TWRP. I need to get with Dees_Troy to sort out what happened with the latest version.
Edit - I think 2.3.1.0 is the latest version that works.
Wow, sounds really familiar. I did the same exact thing. Took me forever to figure out how to fix it. Have you gotten twrp back on?

Just rooted and s-off a replacement one S. Everything went fine until i got to the point i was going to flash a rom. Ive been using the viper rom. after starting the installer it seemed out that all it did was format the memory. After it finished it rebooted and stayed on the HTC splash screen for probably twenty minutes before i did a hard boot. after getting back into recovery and trying again it did the same thing. i decided to just start over and do reboot from recovery but it is saying there is no OS. so i went back to view my card from recovery and everything on it was erased. Now im trying to copy the viper rom back over via recovery but the transfer speed is down to about 50kbps and keeps saying its timing out. any ideas
What recovery are u using? I read several times, that ViperRom and the latest twrp don't fit. In case of using twrp u should try an older version.

I guess i was using the twrp with that all in one toolkit i would switch to cwm but i cant get my computer now to reconigze the phone. i keep getting the htc mtp driver issue and haven't been able to figure it out. I figured if i can get the other recovery installed i should be able to flash a os

go into bootloader, then fastboot usb mode.
the flash the new recovery via fastboot command, or with the all in one toolkit (chose custom, then locate your file)
i switched over to cwm and tried copying a viper rom to my phone but it keeps erroring out during the transfer. I tried a smaller rom and it copied over but all its doing with i click install is going to a black screen then back to cwm
i also tried several other roms that were smaller in size and it was doing the same thing
I was running CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.something. I had just rebooted the tablet, battery was around 95%. I launched an app while reboot was still going on, as evidenced by the toasts that came up regarding superuser permissions.
And then it happened. The display went blank. I still had sound. Hardware buttons did nothing until I held the power button down. Device went into reboot and stalled at the bootanimation. More than 5 minutes went by so I rebooted into recovery.
While in recovery, I poked around for a backup to revert to. I have misplaced my recovery SD card...but no big deal. I was considering updating to CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7. I downloaded that from the interwebs, copied it to an SD, then booted the device into recovery and flashed it. The flashing process had no issues and I rebooted the device.
Now the device is still doing the same thing. Still stuck at the bootanimation. Been another 5 minutes on this one too.
I compel thee to opine.

Sounds like something got corrupted. Might be worth doing a factory reset and reflash the rom to see if it boots?
Factory reset from recovery. Reflashed 3.4.7. Rebooted to clean install. Joy.
Ty sdbags...you rock. Now that I'm at square one again I should go with a 4.2.2 ROM.

Yeah you need to flash twrp with fastboot, download stock firmware from asus unzip it and flash it with twrp then re-flash twrp again with fastboot (the asus firmware zip will wipe twrp) then install CROMi-X

Δεν είμαι σίγουρος αν κατάλαβα καλά όλα αυτά.
Yeah means I need a PC or just do it all from TWRP recovery (I think I have 2.3.1). I was looking at the CROMi-X thread and didn't see any need for a PC if I am already running a custom recovery and ROM. I might just stick with what I have for now...don't want to get in too deep. Been a while since I've done anything with the TF700 anyway, barely even used it last month.
If I can't do it all from flashing from recovery, I need to do more thinking and reading before I do anything else.
Thanks again for your support.

Oh I actually didnt see The bootloader package on the Cromi-x thread, that should work fine. I tried this method long ago, but my bootloader package didn't have a custom recovery included so i still needed to use a pc to fastboot one on. The cromi one should be fine
Yes I prepared the recovery and bootloader as one so as long as you have any custom recovery installed you can use my package to get to the right supported versions. Twrp 2.6 still has issues hence why I haven't upgraded yet.
I have done all the flashing. All is good. I am happy with the update but I need to thin out my apps. I am curious why there isn't an advanced power menu (shutdown, reboot, recovery, hot boot).
