[Q] [RESOLVED] Is my phone bricked? Please help

Okay so today I was tinkering with my phone when I accidentally deleted a system file that was crucial. So I went to bootloader and wiped phone (I know that was the wrong thing to do, now). So I have no ROM on my phone. I was able to ADB the ROM I need to my phone on internal storage (not /sdcard) but the problem is whenever I try to flash it, I get the following error over and over in the code area in TWRP "E: failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument). I've gone to the mount options screen and when I try to select sdcard nothing happens, I can't select it. If it's any help, the ROM I'm trying to flash has the official page here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804223 and the ROM I was on before this whole thing is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 . Any help is greatly appreciated, I really need this phone fixed!
EDIT: Alright, so I flashed stock recovery, relocked, and then used my friend's PC (thanks man!) and now my phone is in perfect working condition. Just re-rooted and re-unlocked the bootloader in like 10 minutes, which is funny because it took me like an hour and a half the first time. Anyways, thank you to all the users on this forum for helping me. Appreciate it!

NEVER Factory Reset or Clear Storage from bootloader it'll screw up your storage inside of twrp. I tried formatting storage afterwards in twrp and in windows and it still didn't help twrp see it. I ended up running the ruu again.
easiest thing to do is run the ruu again, reunlock bootloader, flash twrp and flash rom. then never factory reset or clear storage in bootloader again.
if you find another method let me.

Okay, sorry what what's the ruu and how do I run it again?
EDIT: So is the ruu the stock ROM? I've done some googling and it appears that it's something to do with exe file. I'm on a Mac, but I can get access to a PC if it's necessary.

And youll have to learn some simple adb commands tto relock your bootloader..or it won't work someone correct me if wrong

Hi guys yep you'll need to do some adb work to relock for ruu. However... if you still have recovery? You could try flashing a clean ROM. Then flash the cm10 over that. Of course youll need to delete cache,s before flashing cm10. I'd give that a shot first.
(Edit) I just noticed you having the mount issue also... ignore that. Just check you PC it should still show up. And it may ask you to format the drive? Your OK to do that fat32.

subarudroid, the sdcard partition is fubar that's why he needs to ruu. reread the posts.

I can't flash any ROM because I keep getting that error mentioned in the original post.

let us know when you relock your bootloader and ruu back to stock
boot into bootloader run "fastboot oem lock" then run the ruu

You still have recovery. Right? You should still be OK. Twrp is not letting you mount SD. Right?

He needs to relock bl and ruu ..download aan ruu. That will be ok. If you need help with adb check out gunnymans stickied thread

Easiest way to fix is to connect phone to pc, then select mount, mount usb in twrp and windows will prompt you to format.
Then once that is done you can copy your rom of choice across unmount and flash.

A little reading will the trick for u he wiped from bootloader menu and now cannot mount through twrp

Twrp is known for having mount issue. I'm tell in ya if you USB to PC it will still find the SD as long as you have the HTC drivers installed. Unless your twrp is gone? Then you need to ruu.

Yes, I still have recovery and twrp is not letting me mount sd card. I'm trying to get the ruu to work, however, I have a Mac and getting it to work in a third party program like Wine or Parallels isn't easy, but I'm making progress. If there's another way to run the ruu on Mac, let me know.

I don't know jack [email protected] about Mac. Wish I had money for one of those. any Mac genius's out there?

And second example was cwm. And cwm does work but not the international version we have an unofficial unreliable build

I was using just a little sarcasm about cwm. that second thread does in fact discuss the problem with twrp as well. I just hate to see rolltribe go though all the trouble of ruu when it may be possible not to do so.

That's what I was aiming for as well - why ruu when there's an easier way that should work providing the right drivers etc are installed.
I wiped my phone via bootloader 3 times in one evening by being to quick on the volume to power trigger and brought it back using what I said above.

[Q] Back to stock recovery for OTA update.

Hello my dearest XDA friends,
I've got a problem preparing my phone for an OTA update to 4.0.4, then to 4.1(.1?).
My situation is like this:
- My phone is rooted (SuperSU)
- It has what I believe to be TWRP Recovery on it
- I tried to flash stock recovery on it.
But now when I use OTA Rootkeeper and start the update, it gives the red triangle exclamation mark error.. I've tried to flash it using the All-in-One Kit, and also by booting into the bootloader and using "fastboot flash recovery.img", it then says the flash is successful but when I try to boot into Recovery mode it gives the same error..
I'm out of ideas, what to do? I'd rather not lose any files.. thanks!

Oh - I have the S4 version btw

Bump - Sorry for triple post just really want to know.

You need to lock your bootloader

It is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and NOT fastboot flash recovery.img

I've tried this, but when I start the update I get the red triangle error again.. I tried it by locking the bootloader, didn't work, then unlocked it again, so obviously everything was wiped, I've installed ParanoidAndroid now, if I don't like it I'll just install a custom ROM with Sense+.
Thanks for the help guys!

Yes you got red triangle because you need stock recovery to install official updates.

Yes, but when I flash stock recovery, then boot into recovery I get the green circle-arrow update thingy, then the red triangle, why is that?

You'll need to boot into android, with the stock bootloader installed, and the update will boot bootloader and install.
You'll get a prompt telling you what to do.

Man.. I'm having the same issue. Was rooted with TWRP, flashed ZenRom fine (with intentions of getting the OTA to JB), booted fine. Then had to switch computers cuz windows 8 sucks. Flashed stock recovery img, successful, now device won't boot past the green circle, then red triangle.
Any suggestions? I supposed I'll try flashing another recovery and see what progress I can make there.

I posted this instruction like 3 times in the xda forum in one week...
if you follow this step by step correctly there should be NO ! issues by reverting to stock JB
take a look here, or take two looks or more or whatever
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37942416&postcount=2
why using rootkeeper? follow this instructions and root again.
I used this method 3 times on windows 8 with latest HTC drivers, original HTC data cable, and TWRP 2.4.1.0.
no issues

HTC One X Root

To begin, I have been trying to root my HTC One X and all of the methods I have tried have failed me so far. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader but that is as far as I have gotten. It will fail to push anything to my phone, busybox, superuser, etc.., anything and it will just reboot.
I am on 4.1.1 with build 3.18 and also on ATT network.
Any suggestions or anything else anyone can provide would be helpful!
I can provide more information about my phone if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Have you flashed a ROM yet? Or even put TWRP on it? You'll need those.

Firstly, don't use 2.5, use 2.3.3.1 instead.
Secondly, just try flashing the recovery manually. Download TWRP 2.3.3.1, check the md5 is correct, put it in your fastboot working directory, connect phone to pc, open command prompt within your working directory, issue the following command:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1.img (or whatever the exact recovery filename is)
Wait for it to flash, then issue following command:
fastboot erase cache
Now your recovery should be installed.
Then all you need to do is flash a rooted ROM and you'll be rooted.

Oh forgot about that. @OP, what is the issue you're having with CM10.1?
As exad said you'll need to use fastboot commands to flash the boot image.

Once I flash the boot.img and go back into TWRP to install from SD card, it tells me
"assert failled: getprop("ro.product.device") == "endeavoru" 11 getprop("r

Yes, but, you don't need to do it, as I forgot you're on 3.18. It's always good to do it, though, because it can protect you from bricks.

Yeah I'd agree it's a good idea to do it. It'll save you from having to manually flash the boot.img every time you flash a ROM.
The best way to achieve s-off is while running a Sense ROM, so flash one of those and then do the s-off method.

Well looks like you're flashing the quad core one x cm10.1 good thing there's protection built into the rom or youd be bricked right now.
Note, not all roms have this protection so it would be wise to know what you're doing prior to doing it.

Yes, that is the important bit, clear storage in bootloader when you have the STOCK recovery.
The stock recovery fixes the issues. (from what I have read on our forums)

Your boot.img is most likely fine, you just need to restore your system partition. Did you make a backup of your device using your custom recovery? If so, then you need to restore using that backup. Otherwise, I can provide a link to either my TWRP backup (not CWM compatible), an RUU, or my deodexed Rom. Your choice. First, if you already have a backup made up, then apply it. Otherwise, let me know.

I got it out of bootloop using CMW and flashing (K2CLCconversionN) rom but now i have nothing but that rom i had a backup but can't find it. I'm going to flash TWRP recovery and try to find a good rom that will work for (BOOST) K2CL, at this point i've had no luck. Thanks for trying to help me. do you know any got roms or links to one that will work.
Thanks

You can't flash a boot.img via sideload and you can't flash a boot.img via adb. Has to be with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Sorry about that yah i took the boot.img out of the (K2CLCconversionN) Rom and flashed it via fast boot "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
My only problem now is finding a rom that will work with data on the K2CL Boost one.
Thanks

@angelus9151
Download, and run this on your windows computer. Your device will need to be plugged in via usb to your computer also.

It will fix your device completely.

Just a pointer from someone who used to use CWM if you flash twrp recovery its a lot cleaner, with more options than CWM. since your going back stock I would recommend flashing twrp recovery in place of CWM

I had TWRP on before CWM but even when i would load that it would still bootloop thats why i used CWM. Just one question if i want to root it again without a system control app this time will i be able to use this exe file to restore it if it happens again. it took me a year before i tried it because the first time there was no roms and i bootlooped that HTC one SV and had to fork over $300.00 bucks for a new one but i figured that i would root it because of busybox.
Again Thanks...Your a life saver if this works.I'll let you know when i'm done

Its an ruu, an ruu is about as legit as you are going to get when it comes to restoring your phone. So yes, it will work . If your phone bootlooped when you flashed twrp in the past then my guess is that you either used the wrong fastboot commands and wrote it to another partition by accident, or you used a TWRP that was not presumably built for your phone and thus used another TWRP designed for another device.

If you are about to do something to your phone, make sure you know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it, how it works, why it works, should I make a mistake what are my escape routes, and if all else fails - plan B. If none of these are set to mind then I recommend you do absolutely nothing to your phone until you actually understand its method.

In lamen terms, if you cannot stand in front of a class and teach them the concept behind the madness then you yourself probably shouldn't be dancing on thin ice either because you may sink and drown
Dont hesitate to ask a question on here before proceeding further if there is something you do not fully understand.

Bootloader must be unlocked if you are S-On.

Thank you for everything. This is forth phone I've rooted a phone. First three where easy : evo 4g, galaxy 3s, galaxy prevail. But this was tricky not as many rims out there for it. Again thank you. Now that I fixed it I'm going root it again just no system tweaking apps for me

Hi, So i just bought this device and I've looked all over the internet to root my htc one sv on BOOST mobile. I unlocked the bootloader but then must have been following the wrong guide and flashed a wrong recovery or something. I can boot just not into recovery, it gets stuck "entering recovery". Does anyone know a recent and more updated way to root this device?! Thank you so much in advance!
