Is the path to the recovery.img correct? You might also have gotten a bad download and will need to re-download it.

so my stupid head downloads a s3 rom for my s4 hard and flashes it...
now its bricked but i can still get into recovery..
is this the end:[
No, wipe everything and reflash the right one. You should use TWRP so...
Depending on your bootloader version don't forget to 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' within fastboot mode. Remember: **** happens...

For stock ruu you need to be on stock recovery, your device relocked. You can always do that after you've tried it the easy way. :good:
i completly forgot about the relocking...thank you so much
half brick htc one s s4
Hi, so after upgrading to MIUI.us_ville_v4_2.11.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_linds6630 for some reason my htc one s s4 storage usb sotrage stopped working and now even wifi wont work, I've tried wiping installing many times and it didn't help.
So I went and flashed stock recovery and locked bootloader I got the ruu file and now it wont flash as I get signature error so went to check mainver and there is a problem it's all blank. I've tried to use mainver error fix from all in one toolkit ver3.3.1 and no luck as system can't mount sd. when on custom recovery windows couldn't recognize file system so i only had an option to format the storage, I didn't want to do that as miumi starts and I was affraid that this operation will wipe some data and I loose phone completely. So what can I do next, can you help me please?
I am using clockwork for my recovery and I have been getting an error while in recovery "can't mount SD". The problem is, when this happens I can not flash a rom, update Gapps, cant flash a nand back-up etc.. When this happens I will reboot my phone and sometimes after several hours many attempts I will try and it will work.
I have upgraded recovery I have downgraded recovery and still getting the same issue. My last thought is to go back to stock and start over. Any one know why I am getting this?

I tried to flash recovery with fastboot all went well but I wasn't able to access sd again. I ended up going stock with factory image and all is good now. Thanks for the heads-up on philz recovery I really like it.
Hi! I recently installed a cm12 nightly on my nexus 5 and now I can't get rid of it ad return back to stock. I tried using nrt and doing it manually but after everything is finished my device doesn't reboot like it's supposed to, it just stays in fastboot mode and when I manually reboot it it boots into cm again and messages pop up saying that system UI has stopped etc so I can't use the device. I tried using force flash mode in nrt and although it did reboot it rebooted in cm again and the same messages pop up.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
Did you restore stock kernel?
.
I thought the google factory image would do that? Do i have to do it manually and if yes how do i do it?

If you are using WugFreshs NRT you can do this within Advanced Utilities - Fastboot Flash - press Boot (Kernel). Restore stock one and then flash stock image.
You can also try if phone will boot up immediately after you restore kernel. If I remember wright, that is enough.
I should also note that when I try to manually install the factory image manually it successfully installs the bootloader the radio and all the other imgs except the system img. It fails to install that

It hapeness somethime, but just try again. It also hapenned to me. So. First select your device with current version of android you are using. Leave NRT to update all necessary files. Restore stock kernel. Flash stock image that you downloaded.
You should be ok.
I tried that. When i asked it to download it manually during hashcheck it said mismatched. So I installed it manually and then tried to factory reset with force flash mode off and it said system img was missing. So I enabled force flash and it said it couldn't load system.img. After that it booted in CM again

Hashcheck of what file?
That happened when I pressed boot(kernel) from advanced option. so it was the hashcheck of boot.img when i asked nrt to automatically download it

Ok. I have already done that. I tried formatting the device and did everything again. I manually installed everything but when I get to system.img I get an error message saying "cannot load system.img"
I also tried re-downloading the factory image from google's site to make sure that I didn't have any corrupted files but the same problem keeps coming up

Flash bootloader and radio first. Boot in fastboot. Fastboot flash recovery, boot and system. If this doesn't work I don't know how to help you.

After flashing the bootloader/radio, you need to reboot the bootloader.
This is important.
I will put myself in recovery now.

Thank you. I knew that I have read almost every tutorial I could find online. I just did it on my mac and it worked. I don't know why it would't work on my pc.
Thank you very much for your time though!

Try to flash your stock Rom using Odin[PC].You will most likely get your stock Rom in xda itself.

I WILL EXPLAIN CLEARLY SO THAT IT MAY HELP OTHERS TOO.
i downloaded currunt rom from the official website.
tried to flash the stock rom but it gave me a error like- this is for ww sku your phone is asus zooe
theni extracted the zip file and edited the updater script and reflashed successfully but still stuck at the asus logo with out loading symbol.
i tried to flash stock recovery image with adb but it was saying unable to find the recovery file- not exactly but something like that.
i tot the problem is with adb. then i remembered that i have my phone model root file. to conform that the adb is working properly or not i gave a try to flash the mod_boot.img (asus ze500kl root img file) but unfortunatelly it flashed, rebooted and finally my phone is on.

Yeah try ur original rom
Currently my mi4i is rooted with TWRP recovery.
I want to install OTA updates and for that i need my stock recovery.
I have tried following three ways to get back stock recovery but none of them work for me
Flashed stock recovery through Flashify app. Flash was successful but reboot to recovery stucks at fastboot screen.
Flashed stock recovery through adb but again after successful flash, device stucks at fastboot screen.
Finally i tried to install stock recovery in twrp itself but it returned following error:
could not find 'meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file
Can anyone guide what am I doing wrong and what should be done? Any help is appreciated.
Bro, thing is mi recovery.img has many problems. It doesn't work like that. Only thing u can do is flash via fastboot.

Thanks for replying!
I will flash via fastboot. Only issue I have is that this manual process has to be repeated everytime i want to install updates. This is why I was trying to get my stock recovery back. Though it seems like there isn't much that can be done regarding this.
