Ok so I have been trying to install blackbean 8 for my tf300 running 4.2.1 using twrp 2.5. I could never get it past the first boot screen. I have read everywhere for days and tried everything. I wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik cache everytime to no avail. It does the same thing everytime even with cm 10.1. I finally read something about formatting data and i thought i would give it a try (which I am now so badly regretting) because i have a nandroid backup on my microsd. So I tried it and it did the same thing! So i tried to restore the backup from my external sd but nothing shows up!!! It recognizes it and tells me how much space I have left but there are no files on it.... The part that confuses me is I plug the microsd onto my computer and all the files are on it! Am I bricked? I have no idea what to do right now so any help would be greatly appretiated!
EDIT: Ok so i got it to recognize my micro sd by trying a different one but it says i have nothing in my recovery file. Why would that be?
EDIT2 So i got cm 10.1 sideloaded using adb but it still wont boot! Am i missing something? I would really like to understand.

Anybody who reads this, i have ****ED up. I pressed factory reset on the recovery menu and iT deleted EVERYTHING, i mean every single folder. /System /Data /dbData. My phone wont boot up at all. I mounted the usb and absolutely everything was gone I really need help. Im running Speedmod on the Cyanogen nightlies. SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE
reflash cm and gapps, unless you have a recent backup to restore
No dude, i mean no folders the phone wont even boot up, so i cant flash anything
What happens when you turn the phone on?
It does the att screen than the samsung model screen than its stops. What had happened was i used clockwork recovery and pressed complete data wipe and factory restore and it deleted every single last thing on the internal sdcard because there is not even a systems folder on it
Look up the Odin flash files for your phone. That should do the trick.
Hello
Today I was upgrading to the latest starburst rom...this was not the first time I upgraded roms and i did the exact same thing I had done in the past which included wiping data wiping cache wiping dalvik and then flashing....
when i did this and restarted my phone it wouldnt load past the boot screen...after the boot animation the phone stayed black...i repeated steps 1-3 again hoping i just did something wrong...but still nothing
i went back to look at the directions and i say that the developer said to format the system under mounts and storage...in bolded font...i thought maybe thats why it wasnt working so i did just what he said...
now when i load my phone it doesnt load at all and when i open cwm i get a string if e: errors basically saying that it cannot find the drive
if anybody has any advice on how to recover from this I would be extremely greatful
Im having the same problem cant figure out how to fix it.
I have a strange situation going on with my phone and I could use some advice.
My issues started after loading the "official" IMM76D ROM, the rooted and odexed version. Phone would shut off like it was dead after charging all night. Wont boot back up without a battery pull. It would freeze up while the screen was on forcing a battery pull. Basically unusable for more than 10 minutes.
Here is where I might have messed things up. I tried to wipe the phone completely, including the SD card. Factory Reset multiple times, wiped everything multiple times. I even did a repartition of the SD card thinking it would format it further.
Where I'm at now. The phone still boots into the 4.0.4 ROM and I still have CM recovery. But now no matter what I do, factory reset, format/wipe EVERYTHING including the SD card, use fastboot to load a whole new setup, THE PHONE BOOTS RIGHT BACK INTO THE ROM AND SD CARD STILL HAS EVERYTHING. I dont get it.
I have ODIN 1.87 downloaded but it wont see my phone in download mode. I have all the correct drivers loaded including PDAnet, and my phone is correctly detected as Android ADB Device. Interesting side note: fastboot detects the phone, ADB does not. dont know if that means anything.
Sorry for the long winded post but I have been at this for 4 days now and I really need my phone back! Any ideas??
Maybe flash stock rom or CWM recovery from fastboot would solve the partitions issue. I remember when i had my old HTC magic i would sometimes change the partition layout and to reverse it i would have to reflash my recovery.
But as i said, this is all theory and can work or not.
Does anyone have a CWM backup for GSll? I keep getting stuck on formatting cache, I cannot flash any ROM, USB isn't recognized. I think that if I use a backup, that I could get my phone working again. My cousin used my phone for a little over a month and erased everything off my phone and SD card. I didn't have it backed up on my computer, like an idiot, and I need some HELP PLEASE...
Moved to General Q&A.
Hi all, new here. I would appreciate any responses/ideas.
I have an Samsung Galaxy Rush. Here's what happened:
After playing Netflix for a while the sdcard would get full, so I would go into root and delete the cache(as instructed by someone else). One night I fell asleep, woke up the next morning, and decided to just wipe the entire sdcard. Booting into recovery I did just that. Plugged to compuer, ran Odin, pushed the stock tar.. all went well, but then the phone would not boot up. It will only go into recovery.
So I tried this again, except I wiped everything. Cache, dalvik cache, everything(i'm noob, pls don't hate ). Same result.
I should mention that in recovery, I can mount cache, mount this, mount that, but mounting the sdcard won't happen. It just blinks the screen.
I'm thinking either the sdcard is fried. Or it's one of these things I'm not familiar with (boot loop? soft brick?)
Thanks for taking the time to read.
