Hey guys,
I'm new here and I looked around for an answer to my question but the posts I read were either non applicable or didn't work. Please if this has already been answered feel free to redirect me, thanks.
I have a galaxy nexus and I recently rooted it and flashed a custom ROM (Eagles Blood for 4.1.1) as well as installing Google Apps from sdcard in boot recovery screen. I have rooted several phones and flashed countless ROM's but I am stuck and I don't know what to do... Each time I boot up my phone it refuses to boot and loads directly to the bootloader screen. I can switch to boot recovery but that's about it. I can't get it properly boot the life of me..
I have tried re-wiping data/factory reset as well as wiping all caches and reflashing the ROM + GAPPS. I am unable to put another ROM on it because I can't mount the SD card and transfer another .zip ROM to it.
I also DID NOT make a backup because, well idk why I didn't but there is no backup whatsoever so if anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this please let me know.
You could always use a usb card reader for the sd card and put another rom on it via your computer and then try again

I think with the galaxy nexus the SD card is built in, what I mean is that when I take out the battery the only other thing I can remove is the sim card.

Please help me fix my Droid Incredible
I bought my Droid Inc last night (3rd Party). When i got it, it was rooted with some sort of Cyanogen mod. In the process of trying to install just a normal leaked Froyo build i really messed up... please forgive me in advance for my limited knowledge on the subject
The Droid didn't come with an SD card so i put my old Droid 1 SD Card in. Everything is wiped and i believe the card is formated correctly (FAT32).
Now, i can't do anything. I just keeps boot looping. I've gone into recovery and tried a factory reset, tried to put files onto the SD card via the Droid 1 and transfer the SD,....i've tried everything i know how.
The main error i keep getting is "unable to mount data, cache,..etc"
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP. I am so desperate

Which recovery menu are you getting? A recovery menu is a good thing! Depending on the recovery that you have will determine what the next steps are to fix your phone.
When i hold the down arrow and power on I am getting to the HBOOT screen. I'm unfamiliar with this menu coming from Droid but i have tried to Clear Storage and that didn't work. I've also gone into the "recovery" which i'm a little more familiar with as it looks like the Droid 1 screen.
Whats next?
again... which recovery menu do you have? it should be listed on the main recovery screen
oh i'm sorry
I have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
And i figured out how to mount my SD Storage via recovery... I just don't know what to do next

Beautiful! Now... Choose a ROM that you want on the phone and put the zip on the SD card..Then flash via recovery...
Once this is done and you are back into your OS, you can either keep the ROM or you can follow the instructions for unrooting the phone back to stock.. your choice.
Just a quick update...
Here is the forum for the Droid Incredible

If this does't work...
Power off your phone > remove your SD card > start your phone (with no SD card) only when your phone is completely functional > insert the SD card (wait till it scans your SD card), and you should be OK.
Sos! Help asap! What do i do now?
I have a similar problem. First off, I'm a newb to android stuff and don't know a whole lot(especially technical terms like bootloader, flashing, etc.) because im not a good computer guy. But after researching online and reading some forums, i really want to update my phone to gingerbread because the HK froyo version can't get flash or most froyo apps.
When i heard the CM GB ROM, i downloaded odin and flashed it. Afterwards, the rom manager clockworld page popup and i rebooted the phone off course. Now everytime i boot up my phone, it gets stuck on the CM7 logo page and keeps loading and reloading for 30 sec. and continue to popup and do the whole sequence again. HELP PLEASE! THIS IS MY ONLY PHONE AND MY MOM IS GONNA KILL ME IF SHE FIND OUT! If theres a way, please tell me.
P.S- I am very stupid so please explain in simple way but elaborate details.

do and download kyrillos rom v8 non-oc rom..
instructions are given in that thread...
[samsung galaxy s plus]
what is: ramdump mode cause: force upload?
I tried hard resetting, but that gave me a problem, the internal sd card isn't showing up anymore can't mount it in recovery mode. However it does show up in the root browser. I was able to get my apps back with CWM/Feamod.
I know you guys try hard to make this place as noobfriendly as possible and i'm sorry that i got into this mess, but i do hope some one will get my back on track again.
Thanks in advance!
Ok, Ramdump was displayed because i hold the up button with home+power, when it should have been the down button .
Hopefully i can get the sd card running by reflashing a rom.
If you were flashing a stock rom, it is quite likely that your recovery got corrupted, this being the reason it does not recognize your internal SD Card.
Instead of flashing another ROM, I would suggest flashing a Recovery in Odin: either FeaMod, or a version of CWM.
Thanks for the quick reply! i will try that first.
SD card isn't fixed either btw, still can't mount it in recovery
first off, im not sure if im putting this in the right forum section, forgive me if im not also this is long, but please read on.
anyway heres whats up.
Recently the Nexus S line started receiving their 4.1 update. I have a Nexus S 4G (so obviously Sprint). Angry - again- that the 4G model did not get the update (or will be anytime soon) i rooted my phone again after some time.
after some random issues with it (apps would crash constantly) i attempted to switch to CM10. that didnt work. so i went to CM9 and then CM10. everything was fine until the phone would reboot on its own from time to time and every now and then i would pull the battery. After some time the issues stopped.
NOW, the other night my phone died. this morning i decided to charge it. after charging for about 20 minutes i attempted to turn it on, but i ended up getting stuck at the bootlogo (Google with the unlock) i pulled the battery, and tried again. Same thing. I proceeded to go into recovery and flash a ROM that i knew was safe to boot into, except, the SD card would not mount- saying there was an error. Thats where im at now. the SD will not mount, and im stuck at the bootlogo. I believe i "bricked" my phone.
heres what i need help with. I locked the bootloader with Fastboot,but i still have CWM on the phone. i cant delete CWM without getting into the SD card, but the SD card refuses to mount. I want to get CWM off, so that i can send the phone in for repair/a new one. my warranty - although void now - still has a 5 months left on it. Im not worried about switching the ROM because the phone wont boot anyways,which means that when i give in, they wont be able to do anything besides see that its not rooted.
TL;DR
i think i bricked my phone, but i still have hope for it. SD wont mount, and im stuck at bootloader. i need a way to either fix this, or delete CWM somehow. Im on a Nexus S 4G.
PLEASE! Any suggestions are appreciated!
Do u have a backup showing when u go to backups?
Or is it SD card not mountable at all?
Next can u mount via USB?
If so copy ur SD to then format it.
Do u have a backup of ur SD card on ur computer b4 this happened?
If so then try to format SD card then put ur backup in it and then flash a backup or new ROM.
Vs Nexus S 4G
if you have fastboot then you can flash factory images... read this guide a couple times before trying it

but you need a ns4g image from here

no backups at all, but even if i did, the backups would be stored on my SD card,which i cant access. when i go into CWM and go to install zip from SD card, it says "error mounting SD card"

ill check that out. another issue im having is that i think i found a way to fix this, but i can only fix it if my bootloader is unlocked, which, in attempt to mask my errors, i locked, and now i cannot unlock it. when i press "yes,unlock my bootloader" the phone freezes up. i need some way to unlock my bootloader OR enable USB debugging from my computer. thing is, while i DO have all the drivers for my phone, the computer will not recognise the phone. It makes a sound when i plug in the phone, to show something IS plugged in, but it does not show up in my drives.
Is the phone locked by a provider?
CWM works? Format all - data & system & cache & SD CARD.
Then use ODIN to flash a proper stock firmware, unlock & root your phone one again.
A lot of work but necessary...:fingers-crossed:

heres the catch about CWM, i can format all my data and system and wipe the cache. When i format the system, that also formats the SD.BUT under the advanced options in CWM, i cant format ONLY the SD. it gives me a mounting error. And i believe i found a solution through linux, but i need the bootloader unlocked, which i locked up again. Everyone says odin is the way to go but i cant get it on because the SD is unmountable.
is there some sort of adapter i can plug into the USB port at the bottom of the phone that lets me attach an external SD? i believe if i can attach an external SD card which contains the things i need such as a stable ROM, then i can get the phone working. i came across a website which repairs bricked phones. In a video of a Nexus S brick repair, the tech guy installed some files through a "jig"(?) do you think if i can get my hands on one of those i can fix my phone?
Hello,
I am in a real pain because my phone doesn't boot up.
Actually, I rooted my Samsung Ace Duos GT-S6802, saved my nandroid backup in phone's internal sdcard, installed CWMRecovery, flashed new ROM and kernel and I had a new phone.
But all got messed up when I was trying to restore my nandroid backup saved in my internal memory.
I, by mistake, wiped data, formatted the system and sdcard (my phone's internal memory). Thereafter the phone doesn't boot up. It only remain stuck in Samsung default start screen. When I went into recovery mode, the CWMRecovery was gone. Also, on selecting "apply update from zip" it do not show my internal sdcard.
And more worse, now the external sdcard in also not showing up(which is working on another mobile). My PC is also not detecting the mobile in USB connection.
How can I get my phone working again?
Please help me out and suggest me what to do?
Any help would be appreciated...

Download latest stock firmware for your country and carrier from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
Next boot phone into download mode by holding the vol down + home button + power button together.
Follow one of many tutorials on the Web on how to flash stock firmware using Odin.
