I have S-On. I'm running the latest AOKP build for my phone. All was well but I wanted to flash MIUI Rom. I flashed the boot.img and then tried to flash the rom. I use TWRP. I wiped the cache and dalvik as usual. I have been flashing roms for awhile now but not the MIUI one. When I did the phone rebooted in to fastboot mode. I tried to go to recovery but my recovery wasn't there. I was able to reboot my phone and the AOKP rom was in tact and appeared to be running even though I tried to flash the MIUI. I navigated to ES file explorer and is says the SD card isn't mounted. Everytime I try to boot to recovery my screen goes blank and I have to use the power button depressed to get it to restart. I then used fastboot flasher 2.4 to try to flash the TWRP recovery again. It appeared to take and I got the words fastboot USB. I thought for sure problem was solved. After my phone rebooted again the SD card wasn't mounted and still isn't. I am able to use the phone and AOKP seems to be running as intended but the SD card won't mount. After I flashed TWRP again it still doesn't boot into recovery. I get an EACCES permission failed when I try to move anything to the card or try to access it. I tried team Nocturnal's method for the SD Fix but it didn't work. Am I going to have to flash an RUU file? If so, where can I get that from? Any help????
It looks like your sd is corrupt. Did you factory reset in bootloader? You didn't mention doing a full wipe when you flashed the ROM, you only mentioned cache and dalvik cache, you should always wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset in recovery when flashing a ROM. Also, which MIUI did you flash?

I dont believe I did. Using trwp promts me and i follow that. Now i cant get to recovery or flash it. Any other options?

You might need to RUU but I'm not even sure if that's going to help with your sd problem. It's worth a try though. Run the RUU, flash TWRP, format your sd card. Make sure you have s-off before you run any RUU though or you'll brick.

Hi this is my second thread here..
My nexus s is stucked on google logo screen, maybe it was coz by beiing battery drained one morning and i just saw it on nexus s splash screen loop, i removed battery and turned it on but still on google logo..so i boot to recovery mod and restore it with my nandroid back up, but hanged.
My phone was unlocked using superoneclick, and installed rom manager and flashed CWM 3.0.0.5..
I can still access my phones recovery and tried to flash every rom that i had on my sdcard but when it reboot still stocked in google logo
I tried to put stock ROM which i newly downloaded and copy to my sdcard via recovery mod (mount/unmount sdcard) but when i run it i got installation aborted. I tried to unzipped the stock rom and put the backup on my cwm folder again via recovery mod(mount/unmount sdcard) when i run it i got MD mismatch..i cannot modify my etc/recovery because my phone is not booting and i cant use the file explorer to that too.
I tried the ODIN rom both I9020/i9023 i got success (pass) status, but when it reboot it still stuck on google logo..
Im thinking that this is now a hardware problem, i tried every method but it does not solved the problem.. But im still having hope because i can stiil accesss my bootloader and i can flash CWM,i can access recovery mod i can mount sdcard etc.. (also my recovery keeps returning to stock recovery so i have to reflash all over again every boot (google logo))
Anything more i could do which can save my phon?
Did you wipe system data, wipe cache, advanced>wipe dalvik-cache before flashing any rom?
If that doesn't work, try ADB pushing the zip file to your SD card instead of using clockwork recovery mounting.

Yeah i wiped those..i also trie pushing zip files via adb but i still get "installation aborted" and MD mismatch...
I would redownload the file then. The download may have been corrupted, hence the md5 mismatch.

which brwoser should be used when downloading?actually i also done redownloading but i still get md mis-match.
Do you think i lost superuser permission, because my recovery always reflash to stock recovery..
MD mismatch means the file is corrupted through either the downloading process or transferring to SD process.
Try flashing a different rom?

I tried flashing roms/and nandroid backup which was saved on my sdcard,when i flash them they run well and i get installation completed, but when it reboots it still stucks on google logo..when i flash the nandroid backup i noticed that it takes so long when its flashing the datas, but after waiting for a while it still succesful but when i reboot im still in google logo..
How long do you actually wait at the Google logo? If you wipe cache it usually takes a bit longer to actually boot up.

Try this
Connect to your computer and lock your bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" via adb.
Once the bootloader is locked unlock it again using "fastboot oem unlock". This wipes out everything on on your phone(including SD card). Then WITHOUT REBOOTING follow the instructions in this thread to flash CWM and get root access through superuser.

Try reflashing Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Do that, and if you have the means, try to check out the external sd on some other device to see what's going on. I'd start with pulling the battery for a bit and try flashing the backup again.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong but if you didn't flash anything because of misfiling xboarder's rom, there was no reason to use the backup in the first place.

Where did you put your nandroid - internal or external SD? They would have been determined by the recovery option you chose - Internal or External SD. Your stock ROM would download the Xboarder ROM to internal in any case, but your nandroid location depends on the choice above.
Since you did a total wipe, you do not have a ROM installed, so you will not be able to boot up, but you DO NOT have a brick.
You could flash the Recovery again with the Oneclick Recovery tool and choose internal, and then you could flash the Xboarder ROM. After that, see if you can find your backup (in the clockworkmod folder).

I didn't know that a wipe from cwm clears out the rom. I only ever wiped before flashing something else so I assumed it was more like a factory reset.

As far as I know, the wipe data/factory reset is exactly that.
There's also a wipe system function, which wipes the entire ROM also. It seems he did that also.
As for fixing the phone, what gaww said haha. If xboarder's mod isn't there, then in recovery while the phone is plugged in, mount the sd card, and put a rom on there using windows explorer or whatever, then disconnect and you should be able to flash it.

Boot into recovery, go down to mount, and mount usb. Then find the file on your internal sd and move it over to the external sdcard. I have had to do that a few times when I forgot to move the file.
I have an htc inspire that is rooted and running hd revolution 6.2.0 i was getting rid if the phone and did a factory reset from the phone settings menu and noticed the sd card was checked. i didnt think if anyting of it and it went though its thing.

I really don't understand why people think when they reset their phone/wipe data and then try to reboot their phone everything will be okay. You have some options. First, since I'm assuming you deleted everything off your SD card, you don't have a back-up available so you will need a computer or some other way to get a ROM zip onto your SD card. First thing, hold the vol. up and power button to boot into HBOOT. From here you will able to get into recovery. From recovery you can either mount your SD card and place another ROM onto your sd card and flash as normal or you can restore your back-up provided you didn't delete it. Another way, which I have no experience in, is you can boot into HBOOT via abd. No idea how to do it but that will also require a computer. If you can't get into Recovery but you can get into HBOOT, I know there is PD98IMG that you can flash via HBOOT that will give you a working ROM.

Unless you know of another way to get a zip file onto your sd card without a working ROM already or a computer, please let us all know haha, until then you'll need a computer..sorry bud!
in the future, if you ever reset or data wipe (not cache or dalvik cache wipe) always always always flash a new ROM or restore a back-up, as you can tell nothing awesome happens!
thank you not a noob but don't know everything. Thank you again. But if I had a good rom on there and i did what I said why would it not just delete the data on the sd card and then boot up again? Just wondering why. Thank you.

I'm assuming you did the factory reset and not the wipe data from recovery option, so I'm not sure exactly what happens scientifically with the phone itself but when you did it, the reset function probably reset some system files or something on the phone in addition to wiping your SD card. While wiping your SD card won't cause this to happen (I wipe my card from time to time leaving only the clockwork files for my back-ups and photos), whatever the factory reset does to the phone, it changed something that caused the ROM to become unstable and consequently not boot.
Ok thank you. I learn from my mistakes lol thank you again.

To answer your question, sure you can do it without a PC, use a MAC
Bustin' your chops. But in reality, if your SD card is empty you'll need to get a ROM downloaded to the SD, and if your phone won't boot then you won't be able to do it from your phone, so you'll need a computer. Once you have a ROM downloaded to the SD, boot to recovery and flash. This is most easily accomplished by booting to recovery, going to mounts and storage, Mount USB Storage. Now your computer will recognize the SD as a mass storage device. Copy the ROM to the SD, unmount mass storage, flash .zip from SD, choose .zip, flash away
So, to make the long story short...
basically, I have no cache partion.
I was rooting my nexus s and flashing a rom everything was fine until I retardedly pressed wipe cache partition in clockwork recovery so now i can still boot up normally but i can't do anything as you all no, the nexus s doesn't have an external card slot, so my phone says that I haven't got an sd card inserted.
Is there any way to bring back the cache partition and how could i make it recognise it as the sd card?

The problem above seems to have fixed itself but now I have another problem. I have flashed MIUI rom and I don't know where the superuser app has gone since I rooted it. So now I can't flash a newer version of CWM and I'm stuck with this rom. I have downloaded the CWM 5.x.x.x.x from the other thread but I am not able to flash it even with update.zip. I seem to be unable to flash anything at the moment because in CWM it just aborts everything because the 'cache' partition is not there. Also when I go boot up normally into MIUI, I can't turn wifi on, everytime I change it to on, it just won't let me and it says error below the switch. Is there anyway to fix this at all?
I think you need to go back into clockwork mod recovery, go to mounts menu, make sure sdcard is mounted. If you can't mount it, you'll have to format it. If you can mount it, then do it, then go to mount usb, and hook up to a computer and back up everything you have in your sdcard folder just to be safe. You can now flash your ROM again.
If you have nothing in your sdcard folder when you connect to the computer, download an undelete program that works with flash drives, and see if it can restore your files.

thx for the suggestion, but I have tried that already and in clockworkmod it says that I can't mount or format the partition as because they don't exist so I don't have any idea what to do.
Also I am able to boot my phone into the rom I have flashed but when I try to turn on the wifi, it gives me and error and turns off, is there a way to solve this at all?
can you use SD partition in CWM to create it again?
Just throwin it out there, not sure if it would work or not?

bro go to recovery>>flash original 2.3 ROM>>after succesful flashing>>again go to recovery>>follow the instructions given in the thread for flashing custom roms
im also new to android........but this reflashing method works well....
ok do it as follow.
remove your battery sd card and sim card. hold the power button for like 10 sec. then insert every thing back on it
Re partition your memory card and make sure u do it from inside CMW recovery.dont forget to backup stuff on it. make an ext-4 ext partition. min 1024mb.
after that go to mounts and format cache, data, system, sd-ext. dont format sdcard. leave everythhing unmounted
then go to advance and format dalvic cache and battery stats.
then factory reset/factory wipe on the main menu. and then flash the rom. wait for like 20 mins or so. it should work.
if it doesnt then unroot ur phone. install factory rom using RUU and then root it again.
Fastboot TWRP or PhilZ recovery into your phone. Explorer doesn't have the ability to flash recoveries as zips.
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123503
PhilZ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265055

Smfh are you sure you wiped the dalvic cache the cache and did a factory reset before flashing this rom? And if you have an internatiinal version and your falshing a carrier branded rom it wont work it will brick and go to your boot loader and post the information s-on or off your cid all of it to get to the boot loader simply power down the phone hold power and vol down until it boots into the boot loded and simply tell us what it says it will help out a lot
