Hey guys and gals, today while at work my phone decided to shut off and then come back on which isnt uncommon . But when it came back on it is now stuck on the samsung screen and thats it . I can boot into download mode and even into CWM recovery but it wont allow me to mount my sd card to do a restore . So my question is ,what can I do to get this back to normal or will I have to ODIN all over again ? Oh and im on stock ep4d

try wiping just cache and dalvik in CWM (make sure its CWM too and not stock recovery, just making sure since you said you're on stock GB) and see if it'll let you boot fully after that... if still nothing you may lose your data and just have to do a full wipe or Odin

Yes its a rooted stock . I have the yellow CWM ,and I have wiped everything I possibly can as Im not worried about loosing the data . Lol looks like when I get home i will have to reodin . But thanks I was trying to avoid that . The part Im really worried about is I tried 2 different sd cards and neither will mount in order do a restore or to flash a new rom . Any suggestions on that ? Thanks

maybe your sd card slot got fried somehow. I would get the phone up and running by flashing a rom using odin. i know some roms say u have to use cwm, but im pretty sure the allinone rom can be done in odin. if after that u cant get an sd card to work u may need to talk to verizon n see if theyll send u a new charge.
Yeah just flash the all on one package. Make sure you take out your SD card before you flash just in case it isn't fried.

usually, the phone will hang on SAMSUNG if it can't mount any of the devices (primarily /system).

I could boot into recovery, and I could not get it to mount to the SD card but it would mount the system. Got my new charge yesterday and didn't waist any time loading it up with infinity. Hopefully it wont happen again.

Pls help-
I'm not quite a noob, but def no dev... got my Atrix 2 rooted using mastermind's 1-click method, installed bootstrap & flashed clockworkmod recovery- everything went fine until trying to flash/restore the ROM itself. I followed the instructions to the letter (save ROM in cwm backup folder, wipe cache & data, do not flash zip... restore in recovery). Yet i've bricked 2 atrix 2's trying to install this rom. Luckily the store I work at was good about letting me switch out, but kinda scared to brick a 3rd device. It just errors on restore then goes back to cwm. I try to reboot and cant get past the moto startup screen.. I'm sure i'm doing something wrong, cuz I know it should work (there are screenshots in the thread)... any help?

Did you unzip the rom and then put the contents in the backup folder?
You do know that you are more than likely going to be charged full price of the phone if you are returning a bricked phone to the store.

Luckily I work for a phone sales store, so they didn't charge me full price, as I blamed the phone bricking on a "bad software update" (which is kinda true- if the rom had restored properly, I wouldn't have been bricked in the 1st place)
; )
and it was still within the exch. period anyway... But that's neither here nor there... Yez, I unzipped the folder into the cwm backup folder. Not sure about reflashing fxz, havent tried that yet... don't really know how, never had to do that? I've flashed dozens of roms on my HTC & Samsung galaxy phones, but this is my first exp. w/ moto. So any help u can give is appreciated.

I had a similar problem, found the unzipped folder nested 2x under clockwork/backup.
Like this
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/myrom/myrom
What I did was move all the files from second folder to the first then deleted second folder.
Hope I am clear and that it helps.

Can you post a like for the victory Rom, I'm kinda scared to install without the bootloader being unlocked and Id like something that's not att stock
I actually did find an extra set of files in the cwm backup folder & deleted them... so ur pretty confident that I should be able to install this ROM now? and (just to clarify) I don't need to flash the zip before restoring in cwm (that just doesn't make sense to me, but w/e works)? Thx for ur help

Unzip rom, move the folder with the 2 files, to CWM/BACKUP.....boot into recovery, choose BACKUP/RESTORE, and restore the rom.

So the problem is that you stuck on motorola dual core logo?
Just try to flash fxz,it's pretty simple. You just need the file you need and let the pc doing everything while you watching a tv.
I got this problem twice when i try to flash victory rom this morning,wich is caused by a corrupt file.
And everything is sorted out by flashing fxz.
Trust me,it works! (It sounds like commercials on tv )
You can always boot to recovery and when you see the android with the exclamation press both volume rockers to reset to factory.

The devs have got some roms from other moto phones to boot but have problems mostly with the radio and probably a handful of other things. I would highly recommend you not try to do this. We have plenty of good roms here in the dev section that you can flash that are good roms. Generally if you follow the instructions for each rom you would be fine but if you are afraid of bricking your phone make sure you read a lot before attempting anything and always make sure you have a way back to stock.

i was trying to flash to a different rom and it being really late i installed a custom CWM on TWRP after flashing a rom that borked on me and i pulled the battery while the bootloader was going on. now i cant flash anything and for some d**n reason my phone will not go into download mode for me to use odin. ive tried downloading the newest stock firmware(4.1.2) and installijng it thru cwm but i keep getting a installation aborted text. im so lost and i never do this sorta thing...but being sleep deprived and now even more so im afraid of the worst. can anyone lend me some help please???

Jig does nothing for our phone you're worthless tired you don't think properly nobody does but anyway grab a cwm flashable twrp then just flash a ROM you probably have some old version of cwm that newer Roms don't like
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
you stated that u dl stock 4.1.2 and used cwm to install, cant do that w/cwm unless its a cwm/twrp flashable zip file
u r tired, rest, read the stickies on installing cwm/twrp and/or restoring to stock
usb jig was a waste of money
there are flashable zip files for cwm and twrp in the 1stop sticky, flash either one then flash a rom
yes i tried flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom that was converted into a flashable zip file. and ok ill try said instructions and see if it works but so far nothing has been able to been flashed.
I'm vaguely recalling a time when I was trying to flash a ROM and it was giving me an insufficient memory error. You may have to do some spring cleaning if that's your issue.
its not really giving me an error besides the installation aborted one...but now its not showing any zips on my sd card at all...smh in confusion and misery.

It's just an sd card, be thankful it's not the phone.

User error you probably did something incorrectly but those button combos are hard coded they don't change if you can get to it with a jig then its something you did wrong.
