[Q] SNS I9020T Stuck at "google" screen with unlocked padlock symbol

Hi I'm aware that there are similar threads as to this issue but the problem i'm having is my computer being able to detect my usb storage. Since I cannot boot the phone up I can't turn on usb storage. How do I go about flashing the right software since I cannot mount the files to my sdcard through my computer?
As it stands right now:
1. SNS status = unlocked
2. I am able to boot in to clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4
3. I have tried a factory reset/wipe data from recovery
4. I am using windows vista, have downloaded the proper driver (i think)
I followed the nexusshacks guide so far
can anybody help?

Go into clockwork recovery, mounts and storage, mount USB.

Thanks for that! Now I know I can access my sd card. But now I just need help flashing the default software so I can access my sns again! This is my 1st android phone and would really appreciate a straight forward guide as to how to get out of my bad situation and back to a full system recovery. Once again here are my specs:
1. SNS I9020T Running Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Phone status = unlocked in bootloader mode
3. I have wiped my SD card clean and tried a full factory/data reset through clockwork recovery
4. All I can do it boot to bootloader or boot to cw recovery
5. I need to flash the default software for this phone so I can start a new
Can anyone help me out? would be greatly appreciated

Do you want to reflash the stock ROM or do you want to try a custom ROM? I'd suggest you download a custom ROM, for example Cyanogenmod 7. If you do, it'll also have a compatible kernel and you'll be running your phone again in no time.
Otherwise, search the development section for a stock ROM that suits your phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=883)
Now, I'll assume you download CM7 but the same steps apply to the stock ROM.
1) Download the ROM, it'll be around 86mb in size, a zip file.
2) Copy it to your SDcard using CWM
3) In CWM, go to "install zip from sdcard"
4) "Choose zip from sdcard", obviously, select the ROM.zip file you just downloaded
5) Let it run the installer
6) Reboot
Should work, good luck, let me know if something goes wrong

also if you haven't installed the su zip file yet do that. in clockwork recovery mount the usb, copy the su zip file to /sdcard, unmount, and install zip from sdcard.
not sure how you lost the stock 2.3.4 rom, but you can get the GRJ22 rom back onto your ns. read these threads if that's your cup of tea:

if you're brave and step over to the dark side of custom roms, i can guarantee you won't turn back. i've tried several, but i usually oscillate back to nscollab. you'll want titanium backup to backup your apps and rom manager to make nandroid backups. also when you flash between different roms make sure you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache to prevent foreclose issues.

Download one of the stock/ota roms from vulcan's post.
Extract the zip, and put boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.
<fastboot flash boot boot.img>
Reboot.
See if that works.

[Q] SD Card no longer detected when downgrading from 12.1

I am facing a really weird problem.
Initially, my HTC Desire S was running CM10.1 ROM, with sdcard 32GB FAT32 formatted. Recovery was CWM 5.0.2.0. I saw CM 12.1 Lollipop ROM for HTC saga, and decided to try it out. Recovery was updated to TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, and installed successfully CM12.1 The phone was lagging, and decided to revert back to CM10.1.
The sdcard was not detected in CM10.1, neither when recovery was reverted back to CWM 5.0.2.0. I also tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga and recovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-saga, none could mount the sdcard. I tried other sdcards (16GB and 8GB), formatting them using SDFormatter, checking using MiniTool Partition to make sure it's not set to logical. None could be detected.
But when I put back TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, all sdcards could be detected in recovery. I reinstalled CM12.1, it could also detect and use the sdcard.
It seems that installing recovery TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial and/or upgrading to 12.1. had caused sdcard to be undetectable by earlier version of recovery and OS.
How can I fix this, and have my phone running CM10.1 again, with sdcard detected?

Try flashing 4ext recovery see if thats able to mount anything.
Theres a thread by me in Desire S General and its 4ext recovery as PG88IMG. Just extract the zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot. (or just use the PG88IMG haha)

Nope, 4ext can't mount sdcard. It seems only TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial recovery and CM12.1 can detect the sdcard.

Strange. U should ask the dev of twrp and or the rom dev to see if they know anything bout it.
Check ur sdcard for any recovery folder (twrp) and delete it then try flashing 4ext. There might be something in the folder f****** things up haha.

It happens also to newly formatted sdcards.

How do u format the sdcard? Coz if u format it using recovery then it doesnt delete the recovery folder. Anyway im out of ideas so best contact the dev see if they know why.

accidentally formatted internal storage during twrp recovery

hi.yesterday when i was installing new custom rom, i have accidentaly formated internal storage ,now i am stuck with twrp recovery screen,i have tried to install rom from sd card but not able to install.please help me
thanks

Go to download mode and flash to stock if you are stuck.

Hey there, you can use ADB SideLoad through TWRP to Transfer another custom ROM to your phone internal memory
i had this problem before

what do i do next

i recently bought a galaxy tab s2 8inch tablet (sm-t719). i want to root it
i am following:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7JjDfeIyRI and http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/twrp-3-0-2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627
this is what i did until now:-
1) i copied the supersu zip file to the tablet
2) i ran odin on my laptop and i installed twerp on the tablet
3) i tried to do backup of boot, system and data. it said failed and cannot mount /data
4) it failed because:-
At the moment TWRP isn't working with encryption, this means the DATA Partition and internal storage cannot be mounted.
To mount the Data partition encryption needs to be removed and the boot image patcher needs to be flashed below.
This can be done via the FORMAT DATA button under the WIPE option in TWRP.
5) i did the format data and i got stuck. i dont know what to do next
i am unable to find the supersu zip file that i copied to the tablet. also if i say reboot then the tablet is not booting up and this is because of:-
After formatting DATA the boot image patcher can be flashed with TWRP. The boot image patcher MUST be flashed before booting the device to system.
what do i do next?
should i get an external sd card, put card in my laptop and copy on it the supersu zip file and the boot image patcher, put the sd card in the tablet then install the supersu and flash the image boot patcher? is this the only way?

@cns00 your status for now??? Did you able to boot or it won't turn on ????

i can turn on but i cant boot. it said i need to flash the image boot patcher so i can boot and i didnt do that
i put tablet in download mode. can i install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip by using odin instead of doing it in twerp? if yes how?
can i flash the no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip by using odin instead of doing it in twerp? if yes how?
or do i need to get an external sd card and put both zip files on it and do it in twerp?

How to flash rom via twrp? rom zip not appearing on sd card

Hello guys,
I am looking for help because I am lost.
I have a motorola one vision, its rom is XT1970-3_kane_reteu_RSAS31_48_36_21 according to the lenovo rescue tool
I had flashed XT1970-3_KANE_RETEU_PL_11_RSAS31.Q1-48-36-23_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml via fastboot
I later was trying to install twrp and magisk to root the phone (to later try to extract data from the userpartition after a factory reset, kind of mission impossible I guess)
I was somehow able to install twrp but later when trying to boot the system the system was simply not there anymore. I must have messed around a bit
I am able to boot in recovery mode to twrp and I need to flash a rom. I would like to reset to factory or to obtain a bootable system and here I am stuck
I have the zip file of XT1970-3_KANE_RETEU_PL_11_RSAS31.Q1-48-36-23_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip on the external SD card
Currently if I try to boot the system after the logo the phone turns off
I turn on the phone, I get to the bootlooder. I had the bootlocker unlocked. I select recovery mode and enter twrp and here I am stuck:
If I select restore and select storage sd card no file to use for the restore appears in my sd card
If I select install I see the XT1970-3_KANE_RETEU_PL_11_RSAS31.Q1-48-36-23_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I get invalid zip file format, error installing zip file
Should I use the other zip file? should this rom have another format?
I cannot reflash via fastboot currently
Thanks in advance

May be I have solved:
I saved on the SD card:
lineage-19.1-20220618-nightly-kane-signed.zip
lineage-19.1-20220618-recovery-kane.img
Via twrp I installed the .img file, a recovery tool (the recovery tool will substitute twrp)
(I accessed if I remember well from advanced, install ramdisk or something similar. I did not know exactly what I was doing, intuition was guiding me)
Rebooting the system through the recovery tool I applied the zip file
Later I resetted to factory via the recovery tool.
Once rebooted Lineage OS started in 10m
Now I can eventually reflash the motorola original rom via fastboot
