[Q] Soft brick help! - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I use a GT-n8010 tablet, and I wanted to flash the HyperDrive ROM. So I went ahead, and did all the necessary things only to find that AROMA installer froze every single time, trust me when I say I tried over 10 times. So then I tried to mount my internal SD to try out another ROM, only to find that CWM doesn't mount my internal SD to my PC. Then, I tried copying it over to an external SD and then chucking it into my tablet, but CWM is not able to read my external SD card. I had wiped all my data and cache and dalvik cache. But then accidentally, I formatted my internal SD as well, so I don't have the ROM file on it.
Now, I tried to flash TWRP using download mode, but then it says USB debugging has not been enabled. I'm not able to go back to my stock ROM since I wiped all my data, I'm not able to flash back my nandroid since it's in my computer and I can't transfer it over to my tablet. I can't flash a new ROM since none of the SD cards are mountable.
Some help would greatly be appreciated! Please help out a noob here, I don't have any idea as to what I should do next.
Thank you so much

No one? Someone please help me out! I'm completely lost!

I did do that, but for some reason, it's stuck in the Samsung logo. And I tried resetting from stock recovery, but still got the same result.

I think you should flash stock with odin or flash a different recovery. I think it is called high on android.

Rooted and Flashed no USB now what?

Hey guys....I hope someone can help me out here....I'm rooted and flashed to CM7...absolutely love it....but down the road I might want to flash other roms or kernals but since my USB isn't working how do I go about doing that?
I do have a micro SD card reader that I've used to upload pics etc...can I realistically throw the zip file onto the SD card through the card reader and then put it on my phone and flash it there?
I only ask because I thought it is probably smart to revert to stock if you re-flash and since I can't go back to stock I don't want to screw this up....
Thanks in advance.

No need to go back to stock just follow these steps for every flash..
1) enter cwm recovery
2) wipe data/factory reset
3) wipe cache
4) wipe dalvic cache
5) flash rom of choice
6) reboot and enjoy
Unless other wise noted those are the flashing instructions for virtually every rom, although every once in a while its good to go all the way back to stock...

[Q] Help with flashing roms?

I recently rooted my T-Mobile G2x and was wondering how to flash a Rom without the use of my computer unless 100% necessary, i have titanium backup and Rom manager, i tried flashing one directly from there but it got stuck in recovery. I took out the battery and everything is normal, what i think the problem is, is my SD card its a 4GB but it only has about 300MD left. Can anyone help?
-Thanks so much

You need to Nvflash ClockworldMod recovery on your phone. Then when you have it. You put a ROM which you want to try on your SD card or internal memory as you don't have much space in your SD card.
Clear Factory/Data
Cache
DAlvik Cache
format system
Flash your new Rom
Flash Gapps (google apps)
Enjoy.
does anyone have the link for the gapps? i go to http://goo.im/gapps/ but i cant download then for some reason
Could search Google, can't really give you a link without knowing what version of android you're flashing

[Q] I can't Wipe Old data

My cousin give me an I9003, cause he bought a new phone. I upgrade the rom to XXKPE and then to XXKPQ, wipe data/cache and everything works fine, but when I start the phone, old data still there, accounts, software, etc. So, I do it everything again with .pit (3x just in case). I do an adb wipe all, wipe data, but everything keeps in there laughing at me
I downgrade it with old roms, format internal sdcard with CWM, with standard recovery, I really don't know what more to do. Every help will be thankful.

I have the same problem. My friednd gave me an i9003. Wipe is not working at all, even from Recovery. I connect the phone to PC and use the internal card, no matter what I do, changes don't apply. I copy/paste/delete/format/even odin flash, no good. Everything comes back as before reboot. What is it related to?
I used to have an i9000, but nothing applies to i9003. I flashed i9000 1000 times and at last got a mmcblk2 error, fixed it with external sd swap. I'm thinking of swapping emmc with sd on this one too, but cant install a rom from CWM (I can install install CWM from ODIN though and can flash CFROOT too). In CWM internal storage can't be mounted... Motherboard problem?

Have you follow the procedure in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737 or try other stock roms? I have no problem in erasing the old data.

TF 300T Partitions

Hey there!
I'm hoping that someone can help me out. My nephew who's a wanna-be geek was going to update my ROM (which didn't to be done really, but he wanted to show me what he was able to do). He went and downloaded the latest CM 11, rebooted and went into TWRP 2.7.0.1, did a factory reset, an advanced wipe, and did the Format Data. When he did that, it got stuck in a loop. Nothing happened. He tried to install the ROM he downloaded, and NOTHING! Long story short, by him doing the Format Data, he wiped out my partitions. TWRP, no matter what I try to do tells me it's unable to mount 'data' or 'media' etc. etc. Which is leading me to believe I have no partitions left. I've tried installing the latest update from Asus, and no dice. I've tried restoring backups that I have on my micro SD, and that's not working.
Can someone please help me and tell me how to fix this? Can I get my partitions back? I'm really hoping that I don't have to send this tablet off to Asus in Dallas, TX to have it repaired.
I'm using a loaner tablet from a rental store, hoping I can get my TF 300 fixed.
Any help is deeply and sincerely appreciated.

I was about to suggest you look in the correct forum, but I see you posted there as well. Anyway, your partitions are probably okay, they have just been wiped out, that doesn't mean you lost them. Have you tried reflashing the recovery? Were you able to flash anything with said recovery before that? Wiping the partitions in the recovery shouldn't have any effect on the flashing functionality, no matter which partitions were selected (except for sdcard, since that's where the ZIPs are stored), so there might be a problem with the recovery itself. Are you sure you have the correct one for your device?

Hey there Duchman ...
Thanks for your reply. I have tried reflashing the recovery like you suggested. And after that tried to reinstall CM11.Afterwards reflashing the recovery it says “Unable to mount data." I don't know if I need to flash a more recent version of TWRP, if that would even help.
Before all of this happened I could flash almost any ROM of my choice as long as it was KitKat supported. All of my backups and restores are kept on my micro SD so they aren't accidentally deleted. As far as I know it's the correct version of TWRP. It's worked for me so far, ever since I updated to KitKat.

You could try flashing a newer recovery first, I think 2.7.1.0 is available for your device. Also try doing a hard reset by cold booting - here's a how-to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTU38Ewh8qo (wipe the cache afterwards)
If that doesn't help, reverting to stock is probably your best option. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757077 (be sure to grab the correct firmware and back up your files)
Have you tried installing any other custom ROM? Does it give you the same error when you try to restore your backup?
Here's what I've come across so far. I did the reset, and that did nothing.
Tried to flash the stock version, after a few seconds, TWRP popped up with FAILED.
I've tried flashing Omni ROM. It will flash, load up, and gets stuck at the boot screen or boot animation. This happens with just about every ROM I try to flash.
Been looking for TWRP 2.7.1.0. I'm not seeing it listed on TWRPs site. Where can I get a copy? Thanks!

Also do try flashing another recovery, PhilZ for instance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597860
Did you try wiping all of the partitions again?

[Completed] After using CWM with Odin (without flashing any ROMs!) my Samsung phone won't turn on

Ok I'm no expert at this, but I'm pretty sure I can't have messed up the original firmware of the phone just by using CWM, right?
All I did was just wipe data, cache and partition the SD card (which was the main reason why I went through all this process). What can I do now? Do I have to flash a ROM to be able to use the phone? And if so, how can I do that if my phone won't turn on (and the SD card won't be recognized)?
