Database Info

It went bad. No idea what happened.

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?

Wiped and Formated, Now Cant Flash?

Usually I just wipe data, cache, and dalvik. Today though I did this plus formated data, cache, and system. I never do this but the JellyWiz rom I was flashing said to do so. Since I did this the rom will not flash.

Yes, do that again. Boot into Download mode(Batt pull to turn the phone off) then hold vol down+home+power till the prompt comes up.

I can just flash 66 as is? Don't have to flash a stock unrooted version first like you do when you brick?
Do you have any idea why this could have happened? I did everything it said on the page and even watched an installation video for the ROM following every step by step instruction. What the hell does formatting system, data, and cache do in recovery? Never had done it before and as soon as I did my phone just messed up. Also, if I flash 66 using odin will my old backups work again?

I'm guessing there was a bad download and sadly your nandroid might have been corrupted.

Cool thanks. Flashing 66 now through odin. My backups have worked fine before (the exact same ones that just failed). Once this is finished and I test out my backups (assuming they work) how should I go about reflashing JellyWiz? Should I format the system, data, cache again or just do the normal wipes? I'm afraid formatting will mess it up again. Is CWM inferior to TWRP? Thinking about using a different recovery after all of this.

I personally use cwm and to me it's more a matter of preference. I too have had a error restoring backups once and it was after a system wipe. A word of advice, because this saved me, keep a ROM on your SD card at all times to be able to just flash in an emergency.

I think you missed my point, at this point he needs Odin. However, if you keep a zip on your SD card then if your backups gasp like his situation he can just fish that zip. It was simply some advice for future reference, were not all next to a computer ask the time. For people like me that just get an urge to flash it helps to have backups like this.

in order to flash jellywiz i had to do the following or else i bootlooped:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
format system
flash rom
booted up flawless.
i also used this methid for paranoid android...i will probably update my guide with this. unfortunately i cant give any info on what formatting system is actually doing. never had to do this before??

I don't know why they are suggesting it but it doesn't do anything beyond the normal factory reset and then the zip formatting system itself.
Its just the manual way of doing what a clean flash does.

Why are people having issues restoring nandroids after doing this? Apparently bootlooping occurs after format/jb install/restore previous nandroid.

if im not mistaken formatting the system deletes the rom/kernel itself...normal factory reset from cwm recovery only deletes rom data/cache.

Yeah you're right but the zip of the ROM 99% of the time formats system also.

i wonder why i had to format system to get the latest jellywiz rom to not hang on galaxy s splash screen? it makes no sense.

Also, how does a format not erase your nandroids? It should also wipe titanium backups if they are not on your external. Am I wrong on that? Could formatting lose certain bits of info that the nandroid may not have partitioned, and that's why the restores are not working correctly?

[Q] [RESOLVED] Is my phone bricked? Please help

Okay so today I was tinkering with my phone when I accidentally deleted a system file that was crucial. So I went to bootloader and wiped phone (I know that was the wrong thing to do, now). So I have no ROM on my phone. I was able to ADB the ROM I need to my phone on internal storage (not /sdcard) but the problem is whenever I try to flash it, I get the following error over and over in the code area in TWRP "E: failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument). I've gone to the mount options screen and when I try to select sdcard nothing happens, I can't select it. If it's any help, the ROM I'm trying to flash has the official page here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804223 and the ROM I was on before this whole thing is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 . Any help is greatly appreciated, I really need this phone fixed!
EDIT: Alright, so I flashed stock recovery, relocked, and then used my friend's PC (thanks man!) and now my phone is in perfect working condition. Just re-rooted and re-unlocked the bootloader in like 10 minutes, which is funny because it took me like an hour and a half the first time. Anyways, thank you to all the users on this forum for helping me. Appreciate it!

NEVER Factory Reset or Clear Storage from bootloader it'll screw up your storage inside of twrp. I tried formatting storage afterwards in twrp and in windows and it still didn't help twrp see it. I ended up running the ruu again.
easiest thing to do is run the ruu again, reunlock bootloader, flash twrp and flash rom. then never factory reset or clear storage in bootloader again.
if you find another method let me.

And youll have to learn some simple adb commands tto relock your bootloader..or it won't work someone correct me if wrong

Hi guys yep you'll need to do some adb work to relock for ruu. However... if you still have recovery? You could try flashing a clean ROM. Then flash the cm10 over that. Of course youll need to delete cache,s before flashing cm10. I'd give that a shot first.
(Edit) I just noticed you having the mount issue also... ignore that. Just check you PC it should still show up. And it may ask you to format the drive? Your OK to do that fat32.

He needs to relock bl and ruu ..download aan ruu. That will be ok. If you need help with adb check out gunnymans stickied thread

Easiest way to fix is to connect phone to pc, then select mount, mount usb in twrp and windows will prompt you to format.
Then once that is done you can copy your rom of choice across unmount and flash.

Twrp is known for having mount issue. I'm tell in ya if you USB to PC it will still find the SD as long as you have the HTC drivers installed. Unless your twrp is gone? Then you need to ruu.

Eh I'm at work right now so I can't video, but ill try to be as detailed as possible... Now this is using windows vista/7, hope you have it lol..
1. Download adb/fastboot from the first post in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28340689 now extract it.
2. Download the Rom of choice on either phone or computer. You'll need to copy it so that you have 2 copies, one for phone and one for computer. (This is the least confusing way).
3.download gapps onto your phone.
4. Right click and Extract the Rom.zip file... You'll see some files, the ONLY one you need is "boot.img" take the boot.img, copy it and paste it INSIDE THE ADB/FASTBOOT FOLDER.
5. Now enter recovery on phone. Choose "wipe".. wipe cache, dalvick, factory reset, system.. now go back and choose "install" Flash the Rom.zip followed by gapps.
6. Do not choose reboot! Instead, press back and choose reboot from the MAIN menu. One of the options is reboot to bootloader. Once in bootloader (white screen with skating androids) choose "fastboot"
7. On your computer, RIGHT CLICK your adb/fastboot folder. choose "open command prompt here"
8. Type --> fastboot flash boot boot.img
Success! Reboot phone and enjoy. it May seem like alot but I broke it down in individual steps. Others will argue to fastboot first or last, Ive seen my cousin have trouble doing it first. Now he does it last and its a success every single time. Feel free to ask any questions of you don't understand
9. Delete the extracted Rom contents to clean up and so you don't get confused if you have to do it to a different rom

Have you done a factory reset from Bootloader recently? Sounds like your SDcard is corrupted.. what does twrp say when you choose mount? Try to mount in twrp, and right click on removable storage on your computer and choose format if you can. Thatll get it back right.

when ever i go to mount on twrp it gives me 4 boxes that i can check. mount system, mount data, unmount cache, and mount sd card. it wont let me check mount sd card.
when i click on format on the computer it says it will clear everything. is that what i need to do or will that turn my phone in to a flash drive?

Unfortunately yes, you will lose everything.. but you will gain.. a lesson haha.. sorry to poke fun. But yea, reformat it.. it'll take a while, like 15 minutes and you will lose everything.. EVERYTHING on your SDcard. Pics, music, Roms, backups.. just throwing that out there so you don't panic once it happens. Once its complete drag a Rom to the phone, flash Rom, flash gapps, fastboot the boot.img like explained earlier.

Its all good man, we joke but I don't mind helping.. lol I hope you didn't think I was kidding when I said everything will be wiped!! but like you said, now you know.. usually the only time you'll get a corrupt sd is if you factory reset from bootloader. Never do that!
So now just download a Rom from your computer and copy to your phone.. might I suggest downloading cleanrom 5.1? It'll flash the boot.img for you so there's no need to fastboot that Rom. It'll at least give you a working phone.

Unless Scott changed it the last few days it does. Only cleanrom 5.1 and viper 2.4 will

What Rom are you trying to flash? And for gapps lets go over gapps.... Android is open source but Google does not want devs putting gapps directly on the rom so you flash it seperatly...that's only for aosp etc roms... These are sense based roms which base from HTCs build which has all the apps no need to flash gapps and no need to have a copy of boot img on your sd if you're using your comp to flash it

Although a great root/unlock tool, I wouldnt use it for boot.img. just some friendly advice, since you have the funky hboot, get familiar with fastboot first.. at some point or another it will the the ONLY way to get you out of a bootloop.
There are some tools to ease the flashing of kernels (boot.img's) BUT, you have to have a working OS to use it on.. you can flash and push files to your phone without an operating system using fastboot. In my opinion every android user should become familiar with it

[Q] BL Unlocked,Rooted "BL Factory Resetted" Help?

Sorry for my posts !
==
So, I tried entering Recovery Mode, but accidentally pressed Factory Reset within the BL Mode, it rebooted, and now TWRP says
E: No SDCARD to mount / .
Someone please give me the recovery stock for evita , or some help suggestions here?
I thank you very much!
HTC One XL
Evita
1.14 HB
AOKP ROM
SuperCID
I also can't RUU, don't wanna risk bricking my phone with Super CID , also, PC does recognize it in Fastboot mode, so yeah.

You should be able to format the sd card in Windows.

can I format the SDCARD while being in TWRP? I was kinda in the middle of putting a Sense rom on it , until this happened...

No you're gonna need a PC for this.

I know that, i'm just saying , can I just use TWRP to mount it, then format using my PC??

Yeah formatting through Windows is the only way back from this. You may think, but hey, formatting it will wipe the content. Unfortunately that's already happened from factory resetting in bootloader.

a working phone.

Or you could run an ruu if you can't figure out how to format. Either one works.

For the record, I believe 2.6 twrp format can fix corrupt sd card.
I'll test to be sure.
Edit: With twrp 2.6 factory reset in bootloader didn't even seem to currupt my sd card. It just wiped it.

Ever since i plugged in my PC from that day, factory resetting in BL Mode, it would say "Device seems to be corrupt, you need to format this in windows", but yes, it did remove everything from it anyways.
