I flashed an update to Vanir a little while ago. Dirty first and it hung. So I rebooted back into recovery and full wiped and flashed again and still no go.
So back to recovery to restore except now twrp doesn't see the internal memory. States as 0 and unable to mount. No backups or nothing.
So I start sweating a little bit but I had saved some ROMs on the ext SD which I could flash. Flashed a good one and I'm back but booting back to twrp its still not seeing internal memory. Its not wiped cause I can see it in file explorer.
Do I need to reflash twrp or try clockwork. Never had something like this happen before.
Thanks

Reflashed Twrp and everything is back. Unsettling how it can get borked that easily.

Went to flash an updated Rom on my ATT One X. Been using CWM recovery.
Reboot into recovery, wipe/factory reset.
Go to find the file, SDCard is almost completely gone/items deleted.
I load up TWRP, mount the SDCard, nothing, all gone. So I just format the SDCard, copy the new Rom over to the SDCard root.
Reboot into recovery. Try to install, when I select it in TWRP, swipe, it sits, then just reboots the app and goes back to the main screen.
At a loss right now, phone apparently soft bricked. Maybe bad Rom zip?
Rooted/Unlocked of course, been working fine the past week. Only had the phone 1 week.
Ideas? Help..haha...
Easy, except you gonna have to reunlock boot loader.you can't boot into fast boot OEM relock bootloader and run ruu. You could also try using fast boot to flash something.

Or it might be a case of twrp going bad. Fast boot flash recovery img and boot back into recovery.

It was clockwork I was using at the time.
Everytime I rebooted into recovery and selected the file to install, more stuff was missing.
I'm wondering if the SDCard got corrupt, recovery went crazy and wiped etc...or bad Rom.
Redownloaded Rom.
Reformatted SDCard for good measure since it was all pretty much gone.
Flashed TWRP back as the recovery.
Installing the Rom now. CleanRom 4.1SE.
But...all my Sh&t is gone off the SDCard. Backups, photos etc...buh-bye forever.
Side note, my camera lens area on the phone has been getting hot. Not sure where the processor is located on this phone, maybe it is just doing that while trying to install Rom and CPU is running a little hot and normal?

Cwm has been known to have instability which is why almost everyone suggests using twrp, which is officially supported.

Ok. I noticed it was nowhere near as complete and slick at say 4EXT recovery on my Inspire and suspected some weirdness was going on.
Back on TWRP now and seems to be installing the new Rom I just downloaded again.
Rebooting now...guess I should start copying my SDCard to my computer
Go to cnet.com and download recuva. Do a deep scam and it will recover most of your stuff.. worked for me.. do it on your computer.

Ok, cool, will give it a look.
The CleanRom thread blew up, apparently me and bunch of others had this happen using CWM and the latest build....
All working again, now if I can recovery some stuff, like the photos I had, that would be nice.
Appreciate the replies and help.
Edit: recuva didn't find anything useful. SDCard was blasted for good somehow.

scrosler warned very clearly (even before the latest 4.1 build) not to use CWM. Why so many people chose to ignore him, I have no idea. For some reason the SD card wipe issue was much worse on CleanROM 4.1 than previous versions (and other ROMs).
Take note that the SD wipe issue has also happened on TWRP. Safest approach is to backup SD data to your desktop computer before flashing anything. In particular, your Titanium folder and anything not easily replaceable (photos, etc.). Its a bit of an annoyance to have to do this whenever you want to flash something. But until the cause of the issue is found and fixed, this is the safest way.
Not sure why everyone is blaming the Recovery's for loosing pictures and stuff from there internal SD card. Same thing happened to me with my HTC Touch Diamond, We all came to the conclusion it was from so much flashing. I have used both recovery's and lost pictures and My Documents. Just my 2cents worth.
Is there a tutorial somewhere showing how to switch from CWM to TWRP?

Doload goo manager and use it to install recovery. Or you can go to twrp dev thread directions are there.

Ok, here's what I did.
I have had my s3 rooted and running custom ROM's. I stupidly and accidently flashed google wallet as my recovery using ezrecovery. Now the phone only boots into odin mode. Is there a way to get recovery back onto the device so I don't have to wipe it and start over (possibly losing everything on my internal SD card)?
Thanks in advance.
Silly Noob.
I don't think you'll be able to get recovery back. You'll probably need to flash stock with Odin.

I ended up with the same result after flashing a custom recovery incompatible with Imo's Lean Kernel/Kexec.
I used ODIN to flash the Root_66 ROM, and all of my internal SD contents remained intact. After the clean install, I flashed CWM 6.0.1 through EZ-Recovery and successfully restored a backup.
The only thing that didn't restore was the kernel.
Awesome. Lesson learned. Think twice before clicking! Odin'd to route 66 and now have recovery of my back up. Thanks guys!
Actually, I in case anyone does something similar the phone booted rooted just how I left it minus the custom rom. I re flashed the rom and I am back where I was without even having to flash a recovery. Thanks again!

I've had my Photon Q for 4 days. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM, and rooted using instructions in this forum and everything was working great. I had not flashed any other mods.
I bricked it today by accidentally formatting the internal SD card instead of the external one. It would only reboot into recovery (CWM) and I couldn't mount the internal SDcard from CWM. After reading several threads here I managed to get into Fastboot Mode and flash TWRP, Then, I downloaded the back-up system and boot files posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34555560&postcount=11
and placed them in the TWRP back-up folder on my external SD card as instructed.
When I try to restore from this backup I get an md5 match failure. I also tried moving the backup to the internal SDcard using the file manager in TWRP and got the same result.
Also, TWRP (2.3.3.0) isn't playing nice on my device. All the functions seem to work, but It displays the menus twice in side by side columns, though the touch controls are where they are supposed to be.
Any suggestions?
Don't use the latest TWRP. I need to get with Dees_Troy to sort out what happened with the latest version.
Edit - I think 2.3.1.0 is the latest version that works.
Wow, sounds really familiar. I did the same exact thing. Took me forever to figure out how to fix it. Have you gotten twrp back on?

TWRP is sorted, still having trouble getting the restore to take. I'll post again if I get it figured out
Hey all,
Recently, I had an issue with the SD card in my skyrocket. Phone will get stuck at custom boot screen for a while. After finally booting, I noticed I had to reinstall some apps...not all.
Anyways,
Right after this happened, I noticed that I could no longer perform a clockwork mod backup as I have done with no issues. It gets stuck randomly during the system files backup state. What can I do to fix this?
I have tried many things, including fix per, flash new cwm version and format new card and copy over all files previously other. Nothing seems to work.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks

I would flash back to stock reload the whole initial bootloader and stock recovery then go and redo the actual superuser then put on the custom recovery try TWRP or you can try cwm again nothing against skaters CWM twrp is just easier for me
Ahh, was not familiar with twrp and have always used cwm. However, after your reply and downloading and flashing it, I must say I love the GUI and ease of use.
Anyways,
I flashed it and did perform a backup. While I did get two errors, it did actually complete and I believe it did save data to this SD card. Should I worry about the errors though?
What's the difference between this from recovery tool and cwm? Still can't get cwm to backup after that SD card issue.
Thank you much for quick reply

if your not having issue with twrp then i wouldnt worry there has been alot people that said thta sk8ters recovery was giving issues never personally had any trouble when i used maybe just bad recovery.. sometimes thing act wonkie for no reason
Thanks...
Should I worry about the two errors even if it did complete?
Also, how do you restore?
I tested by booting to twrp and hit the restore button. I browsed to directory on SD card where backup is but not sure what file to chose?
Thanks again...

I don't use twrp but shouldn't the backup be named after the time/date it was created. If that's true then you should know which backup to choose by looking at the time/date.
I'm thinking the folders for the failed backups are also there..
3 of my roms that I backed up failed to restore, not sure why that is happening often or at all. Im on 2.8.0.4, I can flash and backup roms just fine just when restoring i run into issues. 2 of the roms were the same with diff dates, and the last one was a diff rom.
any reason that this is happening?
suggestions?
Thanks
Don't know about 2.8.0.4 but I'm on 2.8.0.3 and have done several successful restores. Perhaps just a bad recovery flash? I'd re-Download and reinstall recovery
reflashed to 2.8.1.0 directly from the twrp website and still having the same issues.
Any suggestions?
Having the same problem. On 2.803. I can install and backup but I get on restore, failed, E: no partition selected for restore. Twrp is driving me crazy on this phone.
