Wiped SD card phone wont boot - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So basically i looked around on the forum cause i was getting crap battery and it said to wipe your SD card cause you might have a dodgy file on the phone, i did that and now the phone wont boot at all i dont have any roms to flash on it and the computer wont even seem to recognise it when i mount usb storage in CVM anyone have a clue whats going on?? and what i can do to get a rom working on it? or get it to boot

Boot into CWM recovery and connect the phone to your computer. Make sure you have ADB installed (see the links in my signature). Type "adb devices" to see if adb recognized your phone. If yes, you can transfer a rom file to the phone storage by typing:
adb push rom.zip /data/media
*Replace rom.zip with the location of the actual rom file.
Now flash the rom.

SD card broken?

Hi i own a rooted lg p500 witch broken my sd card when i was going to flash a new rom. Now i need you help guys ! I cant get in to recovery screen , it keeps booting up in a bootloop... What shuld i do ?
I have tested the sd card i my computer and it cant find it... so i tested to put a new rom on an nother card, but it dosent work. I have not installed ADB on the phone ither. PLEAS HELP MEE
Sorry for my bad writing.
you dont install adb on your phone, adb is android debug bridge, and its installed on your windows based computer.... i sugguest you get a new mini sd card from walmart install android sdk on your computer and reboot to recovery.
from command prompt.
cd C:/
adb reboot recovery
now the lg recovery will default the phone unless you have a custom recovery flashed
once the phone reboots from recovery the new sd card will populate with required files.
also make sure the new sd card is in the phone before you reboot to recovery.

[Q] stuck in boot loop

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.

Bricked pad

Installed TWRP ver 2.4.4.0, it gets into the menu but wont see the sd card, I tried different card, wont see it, And it also wont mount the usb adapter.
That don't look like a real brick, i suppose you format all your internal sdcard. You can send a rom with the command adb push from your computer or reinstall the official rom with fastboot. Make a search on the site everything here.

Phone not recognised by PC

Hello,
So I made the mistake of wiping my sdcard partition, so I don't have the .zip with the ROM on the phone's memory.
The ROM I currently had was deleted aswell when I formatted /system/. Recovery works, but because I don't have an external SD card, I can not put anything on the phone memory.
So now, I can not push the zip file with adb because my Moto G is not recognised, even though I installed all the drivers (in AP Flashboot Mode) it says that the USB is connected, but "adb devices" shows nothing.
So in a few words, phone memory is empty, it's not recognised by the PC so I can not push the .zip with adb sideload.
have you tried to connect an USB stick (in cwm or TWRP)?
Probably you can mount it and install a zip.

I found a version of the Universal ADB Drivers, installed them and the adb sideload worked.
Let this be a lesson for others with phones that don't have external SD cards - NEVER delete the ROM from your phone's internal memory
FIXED
Are you using Win8 or Win7? I have read posts from people that had problems using fastboot commands in Win8.

[Q] Internal memory recovery with broken screen

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy Core Plus (SM-G350) with broken screen (totally black) and password set up.
I want to recover my internal card data, but any of my ideas wont work.
I have already installed CWM and tried to blindly mount /sdcard by USB, but I dont see any new drive on PC.
I wanted to root it, but any of methods I found wont work (maybe cause Im running in CWM? Yes, USB debugging is disabled).
I tried also 'adb pull', but I need to mount /sdcard (am I right?) where I get 'permission denied' error - in adb shell I cant perform any command except 'cd'.
Im thinking about flashing /data by Odin, but how to create the 'script' for it?
Anybody has any idea how can I do it?
Same Boat...
I've got a broken screen on Centura Galaxy. I managed to blindly ODIN CWM on it, and now get ADB in recovery, but debugging is off so I'm stuck with there. I've tried recovery screenshot tools to try to load rooted ROM, but had no luck. I know JUST enough to be dangerous, and not much more. Just need to get DCIM folder.

If this is still valid, you could try flashing TWRP onto the phone, where it should mount the SD Card automatically and it should connect to the PC automatically too. Search for TWRP (either 2.8 or 3) here on XDA
