flash recovery by fastboot - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got twrp recovery installed, but i accidently flash over system now it whot boot . i tryeed writing another one but i got this error .img
sending 'system' (262144 KB)... OKAY [ 27.641s]
writing 'system'... FAILED (remote: (00120000)).. i can still get into twrp. but no sdcard. so i can put rom on sdcard to install. anyone got the system i need to write

Try putting a ROM on the external SD card and flash a ROM from there.
Could try flashing another recovery, try CWM maybe?

No worries, try flashing the recovery again and delete your system partition with this:
Code:
fastboot erase system
Then try flashing the system another time, if not work try doing what @matt4321 recommended :thumbup:

[Q] Help! TWRP Won't Mount /sdcard for flashing!

I ran a recovery in TWRP to get my phone back to the phones original rom after being on AOKP JB Build 4 on my AT&T One X, but now it stays on the HTC boot screen with the red legal warning on it and TWRP can't mount /sdcard to flash back to another rom. I really hope that this isn't a brick but can someone shine some light on this issue and a possible fix? Help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: Was able to get AOKP flashed back by mounting /data as /sdcard, phone boots into it and I can use it, but the internal storage (/sdcard) is nonexistent and won't mount.
format sdcard in your computers os. make sure not to factory reset or clear storage in bootloader or it will corrupt sdcard.

I can't get the phone to mount as a removable drive because of the problem with /sdcard, so I can't format it from my computer.

Don't worry about the red text. We all have that. And it is not bricked.
Can you turn the phone on with the stock ROM you flashed? If so, can you mount the SD card while it is on, booted up in phone mode? If, mount it there, then move your new rom to your phone.
Hello,
I have a similar issue, i can get into TWRP recovery, but i am not able to mount sdcard. My mistake was that i did fastboot flash boot boot.img but i neglected to actually flash the room and i didn't put the rom in the sdcard, so now i need to mount the sdcard to load the rom to flash it, but that is where i am stuck, is there a way to copy files into the sdcard via adb or any other way?
Any help will be greatly appreciated it.
Thank you.

I think what you need to do then is flash the ROM from your bootloader. I found this guide with directions explaining how to flash from the bootloader by googling How To Flash Rom from Bootloader in the XDA Wiki. Here are the steps
ROM Flashing
Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
reboot your device into fastboot mode via one of the following options.
adb reboot bootloader (requires USB debugging to be turned on).
power off the device then back on with 'vol up' + power button.
Wipe your device.
fastboot -w
Update your ROM.
fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>
Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.
ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd )
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip
thanks for the reply but the procedure is not working,

Lol this just happen toe last night what u need to do is boot into bootloader then plug it USB cable to ur phone and format your sdcard it make sure u download a Rom to your computer before this it can be any tom you like after you format you can put the Rom on ur sdcard and flash and u will be golden
loading into bootloader doesn't allow the computer to read/access the sdcard keep in mind this is the HOX so the sdcard is the internal memory, i could get into the recovery and then try to mount it that way and format from there but for some reason i can't select the option mount sdcard.

I did it. Apparently you can install a zip ROM from SD card once you repartition it from the recovery. There is an option to partition the SD card in the Recovery.
After that, restart the phone, go into recovery again, connect to the PC using a USB cable, and use the USB mount option if you want to copy the ROM without removing the microSD card from the phone. Copy the zip ROM to the sdcard and try installing the ROM again. It worked for me !
I was installing the Pico ROM from this tutorial:

TWRP Mounting SD card

So I think I may have currupted my sdcard. I'm running CM-12 4/21/15 nightly. I'm a nubie at this stuff and have read everywhere I can think of on the forums. When I try to reboot to bootloader from TWRP recovery if goes immediately to the do no remove USB connection FIRMWARE Update. I am worried that this will un-root me with AT&T being jerks and fixing the bumped bootloader. So, I have always just pulled the battery, plus it never has any progress on the %downloaded bar.
To try to fix the issue I may have just made it worse and created too many partitions or corrupted the SD by doing exactly what you said not to do above. Before I did a TWRP wipe (not the advanced version) the SD card was mounted, but some apps like google play music kept saying external storage removed. I did the wipe and saw the factory reset screen and said ok. I had to download all my apps again and then switched to Google Now launcher I orginally rooted and bootloader unlocked with bump on a different smaller external SD card. I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it.
I'm almost unsure what to ask you or other more experienced users what to do.
eee. how about on my samsung galaxy j5 sm j500h? i wanted to mount my phone to pc but i cant. was planning to fix my phone cause im stucked on bootlogo due to flashing xposed-v72-sdk22-arm.zip. Hoping that you guys can help me out.

[Q] Sdcard became a file

my sdcard in root explorer became read only and a file and is now legacy. this first started when i tried to boot into TWRP 2.8 and did not boot so i tried to fastboot erase cache and that is when i had problems. I also don't have an IMEI number but i have a backup. TWRP can read the sdcard though
Try fastboot flashing the cache.img.

Fixed becasue i had a back up and just restored the cache and efs from another ROM
is the sdcard mounted in cache or something?

No but you mentioned that you erased the cache in fastboot. Normally, the cache should reformat. If it doesn't, you lose your cache file system. The phone is still useable but may exhibit odd behavior.

Problem with partition sdcard after fail flash

Hello,
That last night I wanted to flash a new ROM from 4.4 to 5.0.1.
I had some bugs, like my full SD card, therefore i installed nothing like apps or pictures .
So I try to re-flash the ROM again after a factory reset.
But, i can not reflash since it has wipe my SD card ..
So I managed to reconnect my phone and flash a recovery.
However, when I install a ROM (official google, or custom), it no longer detects my SD card
when the flash rom: E: unknown volume for path / sd-ext.
I try everything, I do not know how to repartition as originally my SD card.
I hope she is not dead as impossible to get out of my phone ...
I manage to mount the SD card, but still the sd-ext partition that does not exist ...
I just followed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...o-repairing-corrupted-data-partition-t2577447
everything works, but again, the sd-ext partition ..
I manage to get to the bootloader, recovery, I can flash a ROM anyway!
However, when I want to take a picture / install / sms .... I get an error "No SD card" or not avaialble space.
I need your help, since yesterday I have no phone ..

Easiest way to solve is just to flash a factory image - follow ALL the instructions on this page: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Have a read of RootSU's post about file system issues after updating - explains how and why this happens, and how to fix. I would just do the above though, just so you know you're totally back to stock.

it looks run, I can now see my sd card, install applications ...
However, some problem:
- In aborescence I have : sdcard, then 0 / legacy / OBB
Is it the same for you? Is like this for 5.0?
- When flash: E unknown volume to path sd-ext. Unable to unmount or mount /system, but I was able to boot; and it seems to work ..
- Clean master does not detect anything (unnecessary file or anything ..) Why?
- What recovery do you recommend?
- In storage: Various weighs 5.68gb, but there is nothing on it, how to clean?

- go to general > stick roll-up and find my data loss/recovery thread it explains all the /sdcard quirks
- you don't have sd-ext, that's why. you can't mount /system if its already mounted
- who knows?
- TWRP
- again check my recovery /loss thread and also my "sdcard problems" thread in general. particularly the part about lost Nandroid backups
Your best bet is to read those threads, find any lost backups and wipe storage via TWRP
"you don't have sd-ext, that's why. you can't mount /system if its already mounted"
It is normal ? Or it's a problem ? How can i fix it ?

Go to /data/media/0. That's where everything should be. When you're in /data/media/0, you shouldn't see any more "0" folders. If you do, take everything out of those "0" folders and put it all in /data/media/0
So for example you should have your photos in /data/media/0/DCIM. If you have /data/media/0/0/0/0/DCIM, obviously that is wrong.
Sometimes its easiest to wipe everything a d start fresh so copy any data you want to keep to PC, then flash the 5.0.1 full factory image, wiping your device back to default completely.

You didn't do the commands I said. The erase was important
You would need to fastboot flash a custom recovery and either flash a custom ROM from that recovery or flash SuperSU from recovery depending if you want a new ROM or just root
i didn't do the command, but as you can see in the screen, just after "fastboot flash system C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/system.img"
there is : "erasing system.. OKAY"
So i think it's good no ?

No Os/Softbricked

Hi Guys,
I have bricked my phone. It is an HTC one X + from Telus. I flashed the rom and boot.img for telus from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235248 and i somehow ended up with no OS. I don't know what exactly is going on with storage sometimes the device shows up on my laptop in bootloader and shows 199 mb storage i have 64Gb device. During adb side load in TWRP it says failed to mount cache and system. Fastboot devices recognizes my phone but when i boot into recovery to try and side load adb it can not detect my device. I am on windows 7 Hboot 1.400. Any Suggestions?
Thank you,

Try booting to TWRP and connect to PC. See if your device's storage shows up on your PC. If it does, download a ROM to your PC, and drag and drop it in your device's storage. Then flash it via TWRP.

Phone is Extremely Weirdly Bricked

So first, I transferred a file to my phone. I was quite low on storage (about 3 gb left) before the transfer, but the file was around 2.4gb, so it fit. I wanted to transfer that file to another computer, so when I plugged it in the other computer, a local disk drive shows up as opposed to mtp. I figure that it was probably a glitch. When I restart the phone, it boots, but instead of having 600 mb of free space left, it has 1134mb left. Somehow the available space just increased, so I decide to reboot again. The bootloader shows up, but then it simply goes to a black screen with no boot logo. When I plug my phone back into the computer, it opens 4 disk drive prompts saying I need to format the drive so that it can be used, and one that shows something. When I go in the "drive", there is one folder called image, and in the folder there is a bunch of files like modem.b00 as shown in the image attached..
It seems that instead of mounting the internal storage, it is mounting the firmware.
I am able to boot into recovery however, but nothing I have done seems to help. I have tried flashing several firmwares again with different recoveries (2.8.7.0.5 and 3.0.0) and restoring the efs partition again. I cannot delete any files off my phone through recovery as it yields an ERROR=1 and through MTP when I delete a file, it appears the file is deleted, but when I unplug and plug the phone back in, the file is back. I can however transfer files from my phone to the computer, but not vice versa.
It is also able to read but not write, meaning that my internal storage may be faulty, or that the file caused a corruption on my phone. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix it or has any experience with this, please let me know.
Can you access fastboot?
Sounds like it may be an issue with the userimage data try a reflash using the link below but edit the bat file (or .sh file) to only include the following line:
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata_64G.img (or userdata.img if you have a 16GB model)
you can grab a zip with the entire OS here and you will need to setup fastboot drivers properly (which sounds like you would have already done)
Return OPO to 100% Stock

Flashing the userdata partition via fastboot will wipe all data so I hope you have your stuff backed up. Best solution now is to fastboot flash COS12.1.1 and see if it turns on

C:\adb>fastboot flash userdata userdata_64G.img
target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 3.829s]
sending 'userdata' (56 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.016s]
writing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: Bogus size sparse and chunk header)
finished. total time: 3.860s

You can try that but no guarantees it will work.
You can either wipe everything (/system /data /internal storage /cache and /dalvik) with advanced wipe for TWRP 2.8.6.0 (recommended version) then transfer the flashable version of COS12.1.1 from link below and flash

Or you can fastboot flash the entire COS12.1.1 fastboot using commands manually from the previous link the other poster gave you. You will run into some problems if you decide you wanna try some AOSP ROMs after flashing the userdata from COS12.1.1 but if you stick to CM you'll be fine

Ok I had to fastboot flash the entire COS2.1.1, and it is working well now. Why is there an issue with AOSP roms after flashing the userdata?

I don't know what is up with the userdata image for COS12.1.1 but its corrupted in some way and you cannot flash ROMs like Omni and OxygenOS. It acts as if you've encrypted the OS when you haven't, solution is to wipe using an older userdata partition like the one from COS12.1 or earlier.

Do you have a link to an old userdata partition?

Sorry I don't you'll have to download from the link I shared earlier an entire fastboot zip to be able to do it
