[Q] Stuck in Recovery, No rom, can't mount - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi All,
Hoping someone can help me.
I'm able to boot into CWM recovery but have no rom to install. I am unable to mount to USB and my computer refuses to acknowledge my phone unless I'm in download mode.
Is there anyway I can get a rom installed on my SD or am I screwed?
Thanks,

Did you install the latest samsung USB drivers? Also if you have a sd-card you could always just take it out of the phone, and put the roms on that.

device bricked please save me

this is the short story:
my device is unlocked rooted and encrypted.
By mistake I performed format system instead of wipe data in recovery.
Now I can access fast boot and recovery but the device wont go beyond the first screen with the white asus logo and nvidia in the down corner.
Please help me.
I tried to flash the blob file from the latest version but It fails:
Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)
I tried to push the .29 update file thru ADB with CWM and ran it but it says: device is not found
I also tried to copy the rom file in to external micro sd card but the recovery does not see the card.
Please Please help!!!
Didnt you do a cwm backup before you did all that?
yes, but I cant restore it. I get the massage e:cant mount /sdcard
Hi,
I guess, you can't flash this way, if your dev is encrypted.
anywere I found a howto how to format the encrypted partition.
I look for it, if I found some time.

please help me soon. i tried everything. dont know what to do next
Search for "Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Full_EeePad.zip"
I dont't now, if it really works, because before I found this, I have bricked my dev with flashing a 201er image.
But I get no error after use the wipe.zip.
good luck!
Midyr
now when I try to push the rom zip with adb it says protocol error
Hey man Im sorry I cant help more. I bricked my first TF300 so I know what it feels like. Dont give up, someone can probably get you going again.
Check this topic. TS bricked his encrypted tablet and got it working again.

Hope it helps....
did not help
Not sure about the encryption stuff, but I recently went through the same thing.
I would try to use adb to push a custom rom (i've been having issues flashing stock rom for some reason)
I would also try to do a factory reset <--- this got my working.
I did a full wife (system format)+factory reset. I think that I have a shell.
Is there a way I can copy the rom to external sd card and somehow install from there?
I cant see the external sd card in recovery.
I tried every way to push the rom file -also a custom rom to the tablet-no success.
it gives me a protocol error or read only error. I cant mount the internal sd card.
I also tried to flash the blob of the rom with fastboot- it gives me a flash error.
can someone guide me step by step what to do?
I dont think that the tablet has a hard brick because I can enter recovery and fastboot. also I can flash boot.blob from cm9, I dont know how to flash the whole rom.
Please advice what to do next.
I'm willing to donate money the to person who knows how to save my device
If you could somehow push this to your device, you might be able to copy the stock zip onto your internal storage.
Yes you need to install the ADB drivers so you can push/fast boot on there

i did all this steps. cant push the rom file to the sd card. I think that I need to re-partition the tablet somehow.
Try using "fastboot -i 0x0B05 -w," then try pushing the ROM to your sdcard.

That's last steps!
When the device is in recovery and connected to the PC what devices are shown in Windows Device Manager?

Hold the Power button and Vol- button in till it stops flashing then let go of the power button for sec and press again then wait a few secends and the bootloader should show up. Now you should be able to use the toolkit again first thing you want to do is flash TWRP recovery and then use it again to flash the boot.img from the rom you want to use then reboot into recovery and you should be able to mount SD now, copy over the rom then factory reset and wipe system and then install rom.
Oh ,CWM recovery isn't support mount USB

You'd better using TWRP recovery,it's prefect..
if you can't mount usb or sdcard then the only fix that doesn't involve using linux hackery is to read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...OW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard
you need to go back to stock recovery wipe sdcard everything your gonna lose everything and then after you successfully get control of sdcard you flash new recovery use twrp (I wouldn't trust cwm if I was paid to) and that's the fix. happy hacking

I think he cant mount SD is because CWM cant do it but TWRP can.
I've been there more than I like to admit..it's what made me vow never to buy htc

If you use cwm recovery, not twrp, then it's normal that you can't mount your sdcard onto your PC over USB. This is not a problem, as long as you can mount your sdcard onto your root filesystem. You can still adb push/pull files to/from the device. If not, you have the 'unmountable sdcard' and you should follow the sticky in Q&A on this issue.
However, it is scary that you can not get into bootloader/fastboot mode. This means you can't change recoveries and, depending on your hboot, change boot images and radios.
Try unplugging the device before you boot into bootloader using the vol-down key. If you have it plugged in, cwm will boot into recovery as soon as you power down.

I must agree with many of the posts here.
Go into fastboot usb, and flash the latest TWRP recovery instead of clockwork mod.
After having gone TWRP, I dont look back. You have many more features than in clockwork, including a USB mount of the internal sd card. You can also use adb tools in twrp too.
After mounting your sdcard, you can then transfer a rom over and then install using twrp too.
If your sd card is corrupted (ie will not mount, cannot access, etc), then you may need to flash the stock recovery and then in the bootloader redo a factory reset. There is a thread about this somewhere, as the stock recovery can reformat your sd card partition if its corrupted or wont mount with other custom recoverys.

help! please

Hello, Good afternoon.
So here's my problem, as you may or may not have (hopefully you have) read the post title i am having troubles with my CWM mounting my SD card so that i am able to either A: Load a ROM or B: connect it to my PC via usb so i can transfer over a ROM.
I have used the all in one toolkit to unlock my bootloader and root my phone, i have also installed the latest versions of SU, so originally after doing all of this everything was fine, A-OK. i then proceeded to download one of the cyanogenmod nightlies via CWM (the latest i believe) this is where as they say "**** hit the fan" so it seemed like everything installed all fine but then it reboots and nothing for hours it was just stuck on the HTC screen. i then switched the phone off and booted into recovery (volume down and power button) i then not sue it if was the right thing to do i wiped the data from the phone thinking it was corrupted and could simply put a new rom on via usb and boot it. however i have the problem of it not being able to mount my USB either to the pc or on the phone it self, i believe i still have access to the phone via ADB (im not 100% sure what ADB is) but i can flash new recoveries via CMD prompt. i have tried older CWM (modecco < did i spell this right? its the touch CWM) and i also tried TWRP Recoveries both of which cannot mount SD card and recieve the error "unable to open ums Lunfile" or "error mounting SD card".
i have searched many of the forums but form what i can see my solution requires me to boot into the OS but i cant do that nor can i mount my SD card to load a new one i.e putting on an Update.zip file to load a rom/os to the phone.
i dont generally ask for help as i enjoy trying to solve these issue and problems but i have been trying for a few days now and thought i would ask the experts.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

If you have an otg usb cable you can mount it with twrp and install a rom from a usb stick, otherwise install wug's toolkit and go through the driver install process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517778

yes give him a toolkit when he has no idea whats going on. perfect solution.
OP,
you will never be able to mount the sdcard as it is a unified storage system. get adb working in your custom recovery and push the file over OR get fastboot working and fastboot flash the stock rom.

LOL ... I meant to FYI ! your post but ended up clicking the "thanks button"
yes the SDCard IS the internal storage ...etc
But..the OP is talking about USB storage access ( yes, you can mount external card/stick with the help of an OTG adapter/cable and flash a rom ) ... I've done it after wiping EVERYTHING on the list ( complete blank except for radio and bootloader.)
I'm also able to do a nandroid to the external card via this method ( after mounting USB-OTG through TWRP...make sure to select which memory...etc )

That toolkit has a very thorough and detailed process of uninstalling/installing usb drivers which is what he seems to need right now, telling him "get abd/fastboot working" doesn't help.
My adb is working I think I entered the command when trying to push. I didn't have the drivers correct for when in recovery. The driver only worked for the fastboot I didn't get a reply quick enough cause I'm impatient ended up finding wugs toolkit and got the correct drivers flashed back to stock now running carbon. thanks for helping though gave you all some thanks. Can anyone reccomend some cool stuff for my phone I'm not exactly new to the scene but I'm also not super experienced. Would really like to get wireless display working it just reboots my phone on carbon. Would like something like dirty unicorn or something with crazy unnecessary features but didn't see anything like that.

HELP! can't install custom rom

Hi,
I've got an old Xperia S currently running TWRP 2.7.1.0 (the latest version). I'm trying to install cyanogenmod on there but the recovery doesn't seem to work with adb sideloading and USB OTG doesn't seem to show up. I also can't seem to mount the phone's internal memory to my computer. The phone is wiped so I cannot access the actual system. Therefore, I cannot install a ROM on there. TWRP is the only recovery I could find which worked and so I cannot use a different recovery (unless you know of one). I now have a phone which cannot access any external files for installation and without a ROM. Help.
the sony Xperia Emma software doesn't seem to show the phone in fastboot mode nor recovery mode.
Thanks
Bump, Need help fast :crying:
as you seem to be in hurry. Just a suggestion, search the forum with your device name. hope, you'll find some help regarding your issue.
