Rooted 2.20 now cant boot my phone

Hi Everyone,
So i followed all the steps to temp root 2.20 including successfully installing TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). I then downloaded the CM10 rom and extracted the boot.img as per posts and rebooted into the bootloader and flashed the boot.img from CM10 via Fastboot. However after doing then rebooting to Recovery mode in order to flash the ROM, i get stuck in the red text where it gives you a warning about it being in development mode or something.
I am able to successfully boot into the bootloader via Power+down volume. Additionally I am able to boot into the TWRP recovery just fine, however I am lost and have no clue how to restore my phone to either the CM10 ROM or most importantly at least to stock working condition.
When i got to mount the SDCARD via twrp normally i would get a pop up on my screen and allow me to access my SD card, now i get a pop up just telling me that i need to format my SD card first. I'm afraid some how my SD card got wiped or something.
Can someone please walk me through the steps on how to restore my phone. Please if possible i would appreciate using LAME terms as i do not have any experience as you can tell i screwed up :/ Can you please listed step by step instructions including commands for Fastboot/adb etc etc if needed. Thank you very much for your help and support.

I've typed and retyped a response to help. I'm so tired and my brain is mush. (More so than normal) if you can't find any resolution by morning? Pm me and I'll try and help. Something about pluggin the USB in The back of your pc something something....... snore

I know you tried to help, but it appears now I have bricked the phone. Hopefully i can fix it as i still have access to Bootloader and TWRP recovery. I'll PM you in the morning, thank you.

dont factory reset in bootloader. only factory reset in twrp. sometimes evita has a hard time getting into recovery from bootloader. just keep trying to get into recovery from bootloader. also even if your phone doesn't boot all the way adb sometimes still works. so try "adb reboot recovery" while its trying to boot.
if you did corrupt your sdcard try this method to get it fixed without having to run ruu.
[How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL
when you get your sdcard fixed remember to wipe everything and then copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard and flash. since boot.img is already flashed you shouldn't need to do it again.
you did flash boot.img as "fastboot flash boot boot.img"? i made the mistake of flashing boot.img to recovery instead of boot. i was freaking out. just to make sure flash recovery again "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img"

Yes i did fastboot flash boot boot.img from within the Bootlader. FYI that boot.img was from inside the CM10 zip file. I belive my SD card is corrupt i will check out that link. FYI I am able to get into Recovery mode form the Boatloader if i chooser recovery. However since the SD card seems messed up i can't access it currently. Also I tried to use the method to install the CM10.zip file using TWRP recovery. That recovery has a GUI and you can click on the INSTALL button and choose the zip file you want to install, however it errors out.
What is the proper way to flash a rom when i am in the TWRP recovery? Can you provide me with the commands/steps? Thanks for all your support guys.

install/install from zip/browse to your zip/slide to flash (they really should patent that)
now most of us, to do a clean flash, we'd go into the "wipe" menu in TWRP before flashing , factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system. then we flash our rom.
hope that cleared it up!

You won't be able to flash anything until you fixed your sdcard using the method in that link.

Ptesmoke where have you been? DvineLord is the only one been helping here. The Q&A thread is a mess. where is edditsync chongo, rohan and the other superhero's. I feel like Hawkeye trying to shoot sh#@ down with a bow and arrow. Waiting for ironman, hulk, Thor and the other avengers to get real sh#@ done. I'm tired going to sleep now.

I tried to fixed corrupted SD card as per video. however after flashing the recovery.img via fastboot when it wants me to do a factory reset instead of doing the factory reset it just goes back to the HTC brilliant screen with the red warning text and sits there. If i go to twpr recovery and click on install i can't access me zip currently due to sd card issues.
Is there a way to format via PC since it lets me as long as I am in twpr and just put stock files/folders onto the SD card? Or is it possible to install the 2.20 ruu again? I re-downloaded it form HTC's site while I am in twrp however I cannot install it won't detect my phone. Thanks for your help.

"fastboot oem lock" then run ruu. ruu gets run in fastboot.
after the ruu, reunlock bootloader and flash twrp, copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard, flash boot.img in fastboot, wipe everything except for external storage in twrp, flash cm10 and gapps in twrp, then reboot.

If you can get into twrp and go to mount, mount usb storage and connect your phone windows should prompt you to format the SD card.
Once that's done you can drag and drop the rom you want to flash then boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img.
If you want to run the ruu you need to relock the bootloader first.
To do that you must go into fastboot usb and then type fastboot oem lock.

I'm sorry i'm not too tech savy. Can you clarify how to Fastboot OEM lock. Assuming i just need to be in fastboot mode and run a command in command prompt?
Also once that is done how can i run RUU via fastboot? Right now i have HTC RUU for 2.20 from august that i downloaded from their site and not sure how i can have it detect my phone. If you could clarify and explain those steps in Lame terms i would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

That's the command you do and the ruu is an exe file so get into fastnoot on your phone from bl and run the ruu after you've locked the bootloader

Thank you both will try that now.

Hey guys thanks for all your help and your support it worked. I had the wrong CM10 file instead of Evita i had the other one :/ That was the issue all along ugh... but all resolved could of not have done it without your support. Thanks!! I can now finally go to bed.. been at it since 10pm, now 3:11am

Maybe you can help me . I'm having the same problem. The problem is, everytime I try to use any fastboot commands, it'll say "waiting for device". I'm stressing out.

Make sure you have the right drivers installed, download the latest htc sync from htc's website.
Install HTC sync connect phone and let the drivers install, then make sure you close htc sync from the system tray and try again.
Like DvineLord said below make sure you're in the bootloader then select Fastboot once selected it should say in red writing Fastboot USB.

fastboot only works in bootloader btw

Hit the thanks button for the people helping you fix your boo boos.
If you can type it, click it for them, least you can do in return.

CWM cant mount SD you need TWRP for that and a RUU put you back to stock but the bootloader needs relocking. So did you even try booting the rom because the red writing is fine.

you didn't mention it, but you should wipe system and caches as well as data

Not hard brick. you can chose the correct Ruu file and flash it to your phone.... solved your case.

CWM can not mount our sdcard onto your computer over USB.
But it absolutely can mount the sdcard partition onto the root filesystem.
Unless you have the 'unmountable sdcard' problem, for which there is a sticky in Q&A.
My feeling is that the OP didnt mount the sdcard partition. In that case it is normal to see the mount point as an empty folder.
Once it's mounted, you can adb push rom zips to it.

Download the right RUU for your carrier and location by looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588 and you can get free download at http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
Then plug in your phone and follow the instructions when you run the RUU .exe file.
AKToronto

but everytime i try to run it, it says it fails because the phone it is not connected to the computer but it is...

did you ever try to boot into the rom after you flashed it and boot image as in just tapping on reboot system
can you plug phone into pc and get indicator at top of screen that says you are connected. then pull down notification bar and select to mount drive
if so, does it show you your sdcard in the windows screen
you do have an S4 device and assume you are hboot .13 or higher
if you can get into os and see sdcard, you can get twrp and flash image gui and flash rom and boot image with it
i am sure you tried these things, just hard to know when reading posts
also, i don't know if you are running your commands correctly based on how i undestand your posts. you can't run adb commands from fastboot, which is what you were in to fastboot boot image. you would want to type fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you are very familiar with adb/fastboot--sorry. if not need to get up to speed on them
if i misread or misunderstood any of this, sorry for butting in--

ATT One X TWRP question

Not completely sure how to explain it.
1. Unlocked Bootloader
2. Flashed or booted TWRP
3. Confused as can be.
At this time I had no clue that there was a simpler system by hasoon.
I just want to get back to stock or whatever so I can just root my phone. I do not want to install custom ROMs, just root.
Can someone link me to a guide to get off TWRP or something?

you still need to do everything you've done. if you don't want to flash a custom rom and just have root then flash this in twrp and then wipe cache and dalvik. UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip
TWRP is just the recovery and you sorta need it. you don't have to flash a custom rom if you dont want to.

you copy it to your sdcard. also since you have twrp installed NEVER do a factory reset from the bootloader only do it in twrp.

have you tried reboot system? while you are in twrp you could mount usb storage then copy supersu to your sdcard and flash it.
only time i ever got stuck in twrp was when i accidentally flashed twrp to boot instead of recovery in which case it will always enter recovery. did you run "fastboot flash boot <twrp>.img" on accident? the proper command is "fastboot flash recovery <twrp>.img". when you flash recovery always good to run "fastboot erase cache".

I went to reboot. System. It started my phone and just went right back to the TWRP screen.

reflash twrp and boot.img to the proper places just incase

Can you give me a link and or a small guide to doing that? I'm kinda clueless when it comes to doing this kinda stuff.

I'm not the brightest with Androids lol.

My Asus TF300T Is Completely Dead!

I had upgraded to 4.2 firmware (WW_epad-user-10.6.1.8) using the second method described on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982. This worked well and everything was working until I messed up today D: I was trying to flash SuperSU using TWRP but it couldn't recognize my Internal SD Card so I thought there might be something wrong with my installation. When I entered the bootloader I noticed the message: Key driver not found.. Booting OS. I don't know what this means. I did not read the first thread in the General section and tried to do a restore using the 4.2 firmware package. I used the "fastboot flash system blob" command and this time everything was messed up. The blue bar that appears on installation is no longer appearing and I have an "unrecoverable bootloader" error. Nothing I did worked! What should I do?? Please provide me some simple steps. I used these commands before flashing system blob...
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
This was a very stupid move on my part but I thought this would allow a clean install D: D: Please help!

gee man you completely wiped the sucker, you may be bricked =(. i would start by trying to fastboot flash the patched version of twrp. unless you can boot into twrp already then try to flash the asus package again thru twrp. also, could twrp see your internal sd before you bricked?

No, that is the reason why I wiped everything (stupid move I know)...TWRP was screwed up to begin with. I flashed 2.5 JB version and it couldn't detect my internal SD card. I made sure it was the right model and everything so TWRP messed me up. I don't know how to flash a working version of TWRP since I don't know what version works with 4.2 tf300 firmware.

I'm not sure how to flash it...I tried fastboot flash recovery twrp.blob (2.4.4.0 v4.2). It just freezes although the cmd says it was successful

I keep getting a bootloader error (0x0000000) everytime I try and enter RCK, Android, Wipe Data... Is there a way to reinstall the bootloader? WW_epad 10.6.1.8

No mate
As of now there's no solution to that.
Do ppl ever read before they flash? I've never seen as much bricks as I've seen on this device since the new 10.6x.x Asus bootloader... it's a shame
Read read read, understand understand understand, then read more. I almost feel sorry for you guys who are "just flashing away"

I have a couple of questions.
I would like to know about your bootloader (how many icons and which ones) and whether you can still get into twrp.

Okay, so when I press Volume Down + Power, I enter the bootloader. The bootloader has three icons: RCK, Android Logo, Wipe Data. I have no access to TWRP since there is a unrecoverable bootloader error 0x0000000 when I try to enter RCK.

The odds are slim but let's try a couple of things.
From power off, hold power and volume down, release when you see the icons. You should see the entering fastboot message in the upper left.
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot bootloader
if that fails
Power off and use the same procedure.
fastboot reboot bootloader
Tell me the result.

Sorry for that mistake. Now try rck and let's see if the bootloader is now accepted. If we are lucky the result has changed.

Eh...I don't really know how to explain this but this is what happened. Once the bootloader rebooted after entering the CMD command, I pressed volume up to access RCK and there was a "blink" and there is now a green glowing square around the Android Icon. I cannot move the volume up or down (it is frozen on the Android Icon with the green square glowing), so I don't know what that "blink" was. If i try to press volume up now there is the bootloader error again.

Unzip 10.6.1.8 stock firmware twice and place the blob file into the directory with adb and fastboot. Boot into the bootloader and don't press anything.
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
if the command fails try again without -i 0x0B05

When you say 2.5 JB version...are you talking about TWRP? I don't think TWRP is on the tablet because I can't access it. All I saw was a blink when I pressed volume up on RCK, not TWRP? I have tried flash system blob before I posted here and it did nothing. There is no progress bar when fastboot flashing =/ I think it froze. Yup it froze, just tried to do fastboot reboot-bootloader and it said failed. Also, after the system was done writing, after 2 seconds it said complete so it didn't work.

I understood about twrp and flashing system blob but I thought we had been able to get stock recovery working instead of twrp.
I 'm sorry that is all I have with no sdcard and no adb.

I have never used the stock recovery so what is it supposed to look like? Is it that dead Android with the battery because that didn't show up? I will try and get an external sd card tomorrow and try it if you think it might work. I have the 4.2 bootloader so are you sure that I should put Version V10.4.2.20 and recover using that version? Anyways, if it ends up not working, I would just like to say thank you very much for trying.

Hmm. so you probably need to flash a recovery first.
then you will be able to use the recovery to mount usb and put a new rom on your "sd card"
Then you can flash the rom on your new recovery and don't forget to fastboot flash the boot.img.
edit: the all in one toolkit is great for things like this. It will put a new recovery on your phone with just a click of the button.

I just edited my original post. just in case you didn't know how. I guess I was a little slow.
Also I can't remember if a bootloader factory reset relocked your phone but you might want to check that too. up on top it would say locked or relocked. If it still says unlocked you don't have to do that step again. Like you did when you first rooted the phone.
(all in one tool kit is great for unlocking and relocking too) just put a copy of that bin file in all in one tool kit (data file i believe, but it says what to do in that thread)

Your phone is an s3?
My phone is an S4 as are I would guess the majority of users. I think the s3 is the international version. If you are on T mobile then it's a s4.
Ok,,,
so .... if your phone is an s3 version then you will have to check that the Rom you download is specific for your phone as most of the Roms on this site are for the s4 version.
you need to go to your recovery. press the volume down button and hold it. Then press the power button (don't hold it). That will get you to recovery.
when in twrp recovery you will see a mounts button. hit that then the next screen will have mount usb. then you will be able to move a rom you downloaded on your computer to your phone.
then you can install the rom zip in twrp.
then from your computer, I assume you know how to flash a boot.img
put a boot.img in your fastboot folder, open up a comand prompt.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if you wanted a different recovery than you are using, find the download the recovery. *I would rename the recovery to recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(I only mention a different recovery because in some of the Rom threads you might read that you can only install a particular rom with an older version of twrp.)
I'm not sure of your skill or experience with all of this. If you are very new to it (then you are probably really frustrated) have no fear there is a little bit to learn but not that much. Just keep reading the development thread and the guides in it.

do you have your box the phone came in?
Z520e is S4
Z560e is S3
So were you able to put twrp on your phone? when you are in boot loader and click on the recovery does it take you to twrp? Yes the all in one toolkit will flash a recovery for you. but you have your boot loader unlocked first.

yes i now have the twrp in recovery it says enter password and cancel i tried both it was the s4 one that worked so im guessing its an s4
what will the next step be? (if i need anything please could you leave a link)
thanks for all the help starting to feel i might win lol

in twrp when you press "mounts" then press "mount usb", does your computer finally see your phone?
I was looking at your first post, you say that you rooted and flashed your phone. What do you mean by that? Did you download a ROM and attempt to flash it? Or did you "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?
If you are able to access your phone via computer it is as simple as downloading a rom on your computer moving it to your phone then in twrp "install from zip". Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

how to flash fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
if you are just fed up and want your phone back to stock then you will need to run an RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
To run a RUU you would need to relock your bootloader.
in console type "fastboot lock oem" or use your all in one toolkit to relock it.
if that fails you will need to put your stock recovery back. (you need to have boot loader unlocked to do this)
on the clockworkmod recovery page the stock recovery is the second download link.

Do you know how to FASTBOOT FLASH boot.img which is present inside the ROM.ZIP?
Try wiping data, cache, dalvik. Then reinstall.
