I was about to flash the latest EOS. I did a wipe using TWRP in advance (I didn't check anything out of the ordinary; the first 4 boxes). Afterwards, when I went to flash the rom & gapps, the whole unit had been erased. There's nothing on my card or internal memory. I was sure to verify in recovery before I started that all the files were there. I'm lost as to where to go, or what to do, next.

Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

okay,am not very familiar with TWRP but your problem doesn't seem that big,you wiped the /system which should not affect your USB storage data (even if you wiped the USB storage it's not a problem),try to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power button) then go to recovery,mount the USB storage and put a ROM on it,then just flash the ROM and your device should boot up normally,i think you weren't stuck at the bootanimation since when you flash a new ROM the first boot could take from 5 to 10 minutes.
i usually do a clean install before flashing a new ROM (format system,data,cache,boot) and the device just boot up normally after flashing the new ROM so it's not a problem if you wiped your system just flash a new ROM.

I did this same thing a few weeks ago. I just had to reinstall everything (including the recovery) from fastboot. Worked like a charm.
I used the nexusshack tut to root my nexus had no problems.
You could go into recovery, mount usb storage, find the clockworkmod directory and copy that to your pc..
do a full data wipe and flash a new rom, then install rom manager flash CWM recovery . move the clockworkmod directory back to your phone. boot into recovery and restore you backup.
Just an idea .. not sure if it could work..(take no responsibility is it doesnt)
Hi All,
I have the Telstra HTC One XL, and have just recently attempted to install CM10 ROM - however have run into some problems that I would appreciate some advice to rectify. I had recently updated to Jelly Bean OTA.
I followed the guide on these forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859478
I Successfully unlocked bootloader by following the steps at HTCdev.com
I Successfully installed TWRP Custom Recovery
I Downloaded CM10 as per - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790032. I transferred this as well as Google Apps onto my phones storage.
When attempting to install CM10, I created the Nandroid backup as recommended, and proceeded to wipe the mentioned items using TWRP (a guide I saw said to wipe everything). This is when my Nandroid back-up got wiped. TWRP gives you the option to wipe cache, delvik cache, factory reset, system, external storage, internal storage and format data. I did alll of these, and this was my mistake I believe? I proceeded to try and install CM10 and gapps from internal storage (I had to re load these back on after I wiped everything), and the install of CM10 displayed as successful.
Upon rebooting to system, the HTC screen comes up first and then goes to the CM10 animation. The phone then stays on this animation (rotating circle) for up to 10-15 minutes.
I have read thread after thread with people experiencing similar issues, and have tried rectifying my problem with various versions of roms and different guides out there. I can still boot into recovery (TWRP) mode via bootloader, and this means I can still mount my phone's storage onto my PC and have access to the storage directory. As I have deleted the Nandroid backup though, and because the ROM's won't install, I am stuck in no man's land.
There must surely be a way to have a ROM installed (even if its back to stock Telstra) from the position I am in, it would be greatly appreciated if someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Robbie
maybe yall need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" now

Why do people keep doing this??? Just because TWRP gives you all those options, doesn't mean you should use them.
Sometimes, people will say to do a "full wipe" when flashing a ROM. But that term is a bit misleading. Factory reset (from TWRP, never from hboot), wipe Dalvik and wipe cache is all that is technically required when flashing a new ROM. Some people like to wipe more "just in case". But if you aren't completely confidant in what you are doing, keep in simple and don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.
I don't know if wiping everything is the cause of your woes, but it certainly didn't help, and caused you to do some extra steps.
Flash boot.img via fastboot as previously suggested. Otherwise, just try to re-download and flash the files agin. Its seems that some people are having troubles booting after flashing CM10 (even after doing the correct wipes and flashing boot.img). Doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason, but just flashing again has fixed the problem for at least one person.
Thanks so much, such a simple fix! That has me booted up into CM10.
I have installed cm-10-20130107-NIGHTLY-evita and cm-10.0.0-evita , however with both of these versions, my touch screen is not working once it boots up. I can function with the volume up/down, and with the power buttons, but cannot get past my SIM card lock screen.
I noticed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083314 (no solution yet)...
Does anyone have a solution to this issue that seems a common one?
Alternatively, more than happy to get an alternative ROM on my phone in the interim...Can someone recommend me a ROM?
Again, I really appreciate the quick response to my problem, very happy my phone is in operation!
hello, last week i bricked my tf300, this is what happened...
i installed the energy rom along with the 4.2.1 bootloader, i was already using twrp 2.4.3.0 and it seemed to work fine for a while but then i had problems with a double screen after trying a different rom (cant remember which) anyway i tried the usual resets and wipes to to fix it but no joy. I then used the wipe data in bootloader thinking a full clean wipe would sort it but it just booted straight into twrp.
in twrp nothing will mount apart from system, ive used fastboot to flash various stock blobs, proper twrp img etc but even tho fastboot said everything flashed ok, i still boot into the old twrp which wont mount anything apart from system.
i then got an old 8 gig sd card and put stock roms and energy rom on root of the sd card , in twrp i mounted system but cant mount cache, data or sd card but strangely, i was able to copy the above roms from the sd card and move them to the mounted system partition which i was then able to install the energy rom with aroma installer , happy days i thought until after installation it rebooted straight to twrp again asking for password?
when i try to install stock roms by the above method it fails because cache isnt mounted. i think the twrp is corrupted, how do i fix this?
could someone with the know how tell me what im doing wrong,? should i full wipe again? should i wipe the twrp and how do i do this?
i am sort of a newb to this and any advice would be great
I’m having a problem with my Android phone. It won’t turn on for some reason and when I try, it just loops the start up screen and does a short vibration about every 5 seconds. It’s running CyanogenMod and it’s a Samsung Galaxy S III SCH-I535. It was working fine until recently. Please help. Just so you all know, I already tried clearing the cache and the Dalvik cache, reinstalling CyanogenMod onto my phone in recovery mode (it doesn't let me because "no file_contexts"). I don't know what version of CyanogenMod I have because I can't check because my phone won't even turn on. Thanks for all the help.
Probably a bad zip file. I recommend you download the latest version (or checkout the unofficial version) and put it on the sdcard. Then format /system and install the newest.
Worse case scenario you have to Odin to stock, reroot, unlock the bootloader, install cwm/twrp recovery, and then do a fresh install.

I never used an SD card during the process. My phone didn't come with one so I just used the system storage. Should I go for the worst case scenario solution you mentioned since I don't think I can access the system's contents without turning the phone on, or are there any other solutions that aren't so drastic?

You can try these options:
1), Get one or borrow one SDcard, copy another rom (copy about 3) on the SDcard, boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, system, format sdcard (format sdcard will wipe all your video/pictures, etc..on your local storage, if you have important stuff then skip this). Now reflash a nice and clean rom like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973982 and see if you can boot up.
2) You can boot into Odin mode (download mode) and flash a full factory stock firmware. After this you will be back to stock and you have to re root, unlock bootloader, reflash custom recovery and so on.
Your storage probably corrupted and I would try option 1 first..Good luck!
Ok, i'm trying to install Cromi x JB 4.2.1 by flashing it from my SD card
I'm on bootloader 10.6.1.14.0
TWRP 2.6.1.0.
I flash the zip from the sd card like i've done many times with other ROMS. Everything looks fine. I go through the install steps for Cromi-x, everything appears to install correctly. I get a friendly message telling me that everything went great, to reboot my tablet, and to enjoy!
But TWRP tells me that no OS is installed. When I reboot, it goes to the ASUS splash screen and just sits.
What could I be doing wrong?

Did you mean 10.6.1.14.10? It happens to me once in a while with that issue... If you don't have anything to save and I guess that you don't. First, you could try to wipe your system, cache, and data from your twrp. Then go to mount button and manually mount your system, cache, and data then try to install your ROM again..:fingers-crossed: If it still doesn't mount your system, you have to go through the steps above with a complete shut down of your device and don't install anything if ask.. Then boot back into your twrp and manually mount all your partitions then install your ROM. Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
That usually happens when /system can't be mounted correctly or the installer didn't actually finish (even though it reported it did).
Try rebooting and wipe /system and flash again as said.
