Does anyone have a CWM backup for GSll? I keep getting stuck on formatting cache, I cannot flash any ROM, USB isn't recognized. I think that if I use a backup, that I could get my phone working again. My cousin used my phone for a little over a month and erased everything off my phone and SD card. I didn't have it backed up on my computer, like an idiot, and I need some HELP PLEASE...
Moved to General Q&A.

I'e been using Cognition and all is well. Now, I plan to sell the phone so I (stupidly) used the Factory Reset on the phone to remove my data. Now, I'm stuck in a loop. AT&T logo, Cognition logo and Galaxy logos all appear but then nothing. I can boot to the OS but when I choose to re-run from the SD card (either update.zip or 'choose another zip file'), no files are there. I put the Cognition zip file on the external SD card but I guess it's not looking there and I can't see the phone when connected to my PC. Please help. My phone is up on E-Bay as we 'speak'!! I was up until 3AM trying to figure this out for myself and finally resorted to the forum. Thank you so much in advance.
usually wiping everything (data and dalvik) and installing a fresh ROM will do the trick...
I have a strange situation going on with my phone and I could use some advice.
My issues started after loading the "official" IMM76D ROM, the rooted and odexed version. Phone would shut off like it was dead after charging all night. Wont boot back up without a battery pull. It would freeze up while the screen was on forcing a battery pull. Basically unusable for more than 10 minutes.
Here is where I might have messed things up. I tried to wipe the phone completely, including the SD card. Factory Reset multiple times, wiped everything multiple times. I even did a repartition of the SD card thinking it would format it further.
Where I'm at now. The phone still boots into the 4.0.4 ROM and I still have CM recovery. But now no matter what I do, factory reset, format/wipe EVERYTHING including the SD card, use fastboot to load a whole new setup, THE PHONE BOOTS RIGHT BACK INTO THE ROM AND SD CARD STILL HAS EVERYTHING. I dont get it.
I have ODIN 1.87 downloaded but it wont see my phone in download mode. I have all the correct drivers loaded including PDAnet, and my phone is correctly detected as Android ADB Device. Interesting side note: fastboot detects the phone, ADB does not. dont know if that means anything.
Sorry for the long winded post but I have been at this for 4 days now and I really need my phone back! Any ideas??
Maybe flash stock rom or CWM recovery from fastboot would solve the partitions issue. I remember when i had my old HTC magic i would sometimes change the partition layout and to reverse it i would have to reflash my recovery.
But as i said, this is all theory and can work or not.
Hey Everyone,
So.. currently I have Viper One S 2.1.0 on my T-Mobile HTC One S with ElementalX kernal installed. My current problem is that HTC Sense keeps crashing and no apps can start (they crash) from accessing from my lockscreen. The phone boots up fine, but I'm unable to really access anything past the lockscreen as the Sense keeps crashing. My next step was to use my nandroid kept on my device, but by trying to do so the CWM prompt responded with the MD5 Sum check failed. After further research I found out that one possible reason would be my SD card could be corrupted. Before I accidently soft bricked my phone and used trial and error and clicked the factory reset by bootloader, which by research told me could corrupt my SD Card....Well it's now corrupted as my phone can't truly access anything. Next I tried plugging in my phone to my computer to use another nandroid...but my computer can't find my phone.
So my question is this, how can I completely format my SD card and just start over?
EDIT: Forgot to add that my phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked, and S-Off
Thanks,

Doing a factory reset or clear storage from bootloader while on custom recovery will corrupt your sdcard. You have to fix that first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459 Basically: flash stock recovery, then clear storage from bootloader, then flash back custom recovery.
Once your sdcard is mountable again (it's empty now, sorry) you can copy your nandroid from your PC onto it and restore it. Format system, data, cache first.
Also, I've found that undervolting can lead to storage corruption. The same thing happened to me about a week ago when I was fiddling with frequencies and voltages. Reading and writing storage became unreliable and it ran itself into a mess. (I didn't have a recent nandroid copied off my device.. )

Ok so I have been trying to install blackbean 8 for my tf300 running 4.2.1 using twrp 2.5. I could never get it past the first boot screen. I have read everywhere for days and tried everything. I wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik cache everytime to no avail. It does the same thing everytime even with cm 10.1. I finally read something about formatting data and i thought i would give it a try (which I am now so badly regretting) because i have a nandroid backup on my microsd. So I tried it and it did the same thing! So i tried to restore the backup from my external sd but nothing shows up!!! It recognizes it and tells me how much space I have left but there are no files on it.... The part that confuses me is I plug the microsd onto my computer and all the files are on it! Am I bricked? I have no idea what to do right now so any help would be greatly appretiated!
EDIT: Ok so i got it to recognize my micro sd by trying a different one but it says i have nothing in my recovery file. Why would that be?
EDIT2 So i got cm 10.1 sideloaded using adb but it still wont boot! Am i missing something? I would really like to understand.
Hey guys, so I rooted my honor 6x without a hitch. Everything went smooth with the help of the XDA community of course. I wouldn't say I'm a noob but I don't know it all either.
So after about a week of playing around with my rooted device, I decided to go out and buy a micro SD card so i can have some more storage and be able to move files around easier. I inserted the card while I was booted into TWRP. I then immediatly loaded a copy of my backup on to the SD card. Nothing failed. When it finished I rebooted like normal except this time my phone did a hard reset. I was never prompted or asked to do this. So that was a little wierd. After it booted up everything was gone. SuperSU. Everything. So I try to boot into TWRP and I'm no longer able to do that. I'm only able to boot into recovery where it gives you the option to recover via WiFi I believe, reboot or shutdown. I tried the recovery thing while connected to WiFi and it failed. When I go into file explorer all my files are gone as far as I can tell, but the wierd thing is that all the space is still taken up just like it was when it was rooted. I only have about 12 gigs of internal storage just like I did when I had TWRP, and SuperSU loaded except it's all gone. What happened? And how do I get my rooted phone back?
