Hi everyone. I got into a situation that I almost gave up. I was trying to flash my Xperia S ISC to JB 4.2.2, I rooted the device successfully with fastboot, but I forgot the most important thing to copy the ROM to the sdcard and then wiped all data. Now I can get into boot loader, but since I do not have any ROM.zip copied on sdcard I can not do anything. I tried to connect the phone to the PC and it recognizes the phone but I cannot transfer any file to sdcard. I tried adb push but getting message "denied permission". I tried to mount the usb from the bootloader, but had no result. What could you guys suggest to do. Am I done with my phone.
Thank you in advance.
hmmm

get a sd card reader...put your card in the reader...copy the zip file...n flash...have a good day ahead
Thank you for the reply. the sdcard is internal I cannot remove it, so the only way to connect the phones internal memory is the usb cable.
How about switch off device. Take off sdcard. Put it into card reader. Copy rom into sd. Put sd card back into device and power on ?
Hi, like I said the xperia s sd card is internal ther is no way to take it out from the phone. The only way to connect to the phone is the usb cable.

This sort of happened to me before. try downloading and installing the file attached. It should do the trick. N.B- You need to have root access.
ok thanks. I have root access (i think, fairly new to all this, apologies).
How do I run the file??
Thanks.
sorry to be a pain

Boot your phone (make sure the file is on your phone), then simply select the file and follow the onscreen instructions. After that, select it's icon in the menu and choose to allow it to automatically operate when USB is connected. Then just allow root access and you're good to go. Try your rom flashing again and it should be successful.
hey
thanks for your help, but I currently have no ROM / OS installed on the phone, so can only boot into recovery / fastboot etc.
not into android os.

Since you can boot into recovery and access your phone from your computer, then just flash the stock windows mobile rom to your phone. I think that would work and it does make sense. If it does work then you can continue doing what you want after you have done it.
Do you mean flash it via fastboot? I'm sturuggling to get files across from my pc... sorry to be a pain...
I can access the SD card to drag files in recovery. but cant isntall from the sd on my phone.
tried flashing files direct to phone with fastboot but coundt. probably just got it wrong. gahhh.

Have you tried a different SD Card or a sdhc card? One of them might help.
I haven't tried another card yet no.
I need to purchase one first, hopefully will get chance this week.
Any links to best guide to make a goldcard btw?
Thanks.

I have a Captivate that was rooted and working for over 6 months, and suddenly went into a black screen giving error on E:\.....
Have tried to install the stock firmware using ODIN in Download mode I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 and I897UCKJ3_withBL and both are a success, but as soon as I reboot the phone i get the AT&T logo, see the Samsung logo and then the screen turns black and I can't even see the phone on USB
Also tried loading the Pinnacle_Flasher and I can see the CW recovery menu, but after that point I'm unable to flash an update.zip (Pinnacle_1.2.zip renamed as update.zip on root of ext SD card) from the external SD, and am unable to copy it to the internal SD Card. Connecting the phone to the PC says the USB drive needs to be formated.
Appreciate if anyone can help in recommending any other steps I can take to unbrick the phone

It could be something is corrupt on your internal SD card. Have you tried enetering clockwork mod and mounting USB storage and then hook it up to your computer and reformatting it

updated apps from the marketplace..
Did you actually name it update.zip, or just update?
i had the same issue. trying to look for the posts i made about it. i remember something along the lines of flashing to an old boot loader and an old kernel with cwm then doing all my wipes then doing a master clear via odin then via cwm again then tried flashing to stock. im probably neglecting one of my steps though.
oh and make sure you let it charge via wall plug for at least a half hour before you try anything.
I am stuck on my phone with debugging turned off. I can go into recovery but get a failed command when I try to do stuff. Phone does not boot up into a rom but I know debugging is off. What can I do?

What "Stuff" are you trying to do ? Your best bet would be to mount the sd card on the computer via card slot, and copy a rom on the card. insert in again in your phone and flash. You do not need debugging on to flash a new rom.
when i go to mount the "Mount USB Storage" from recovery my computer says it needs to format the drive. I am scared to do that.

What does windows do if you say no?
it closes the dialog box but it does not allow me access to the phone to put a rom on the phone.
Unable to mount sd card seems to be the issue with failures in recovery commands.
Em does the phone see the sd fine?

... Except the fact the S does not have a removable SD card...
You could try enter the bootloader and try adb from there. I can connect to my device in bootloader via adb, but I havnt tried sending anything to it.
What recovery are you using? Ive heard (quite a lot) of people having issues with CWM not being able to mount the sdcard.
You could try TWRP instead, which you should be able to flash via fastboot.
Hi,
I can't mount the SDcard in any recovery. The strange thing is that I CAN acces the card in the OS(Maximus HD) using ESfile explorer, and I CAN acces the card when connected with USB to my PC.
So at this moment, I can't flash anything anymore..
I have S-OFF and running Maximus HD. It happend when I tried to flash another ROM. The installation went fine but after the installation there was only 47 MB left as phone storage the rest was ''other''.
I couldn't fix it, so I wiped the rom, formatted the SD card so I had a clean start to try another ROM.
After this, the pc recognized the SD card as only 47 MB(total size). This was a problem, I couldn't reinstall a new ROM because there was not enough space..
I fixed this using ADB sideload and pushed the MaximusHD rom back to my phone. This worked and so at this point my phone is running fine, all the storage is back But as I said, I can't flash anything anymore
I tried different recovery's but they all say, can't mount /sdcard/.
Anyone ideas?
Thanks Allready!

You need to go back to the older firmware to run other ROMs

You should mount the sd card using recovery and then use your PC to copy the zips you need back to your sd card and then flash them. Some recoveries will automatically mount the sd card as soon as you connect the phone and the PC with the usb cable. In others you may have to go into the mounts (or Mounts and Storage) menu and select mount USB storage or sd card.

Try to push rom file through adb side load..
I happened to me once..
Try this..

Plug her into computer
Make sure drivers are working for adb by mounting storage than running the command "adb devices" assuming you have set up your sdk. if your device shows up. Run this
"adb push ROM.zip*/data/media" in the prompt.
If your device is not recognized.
Update drivers manually using the device manager on your computer. You will need to install the drivers. That's easy. Just look up how to. That should fix it with minimal confusion
