Hi long time flasher and now i suddenly stumbled on a problem i have no idea how to fix. It's my internal storage it sais that it's not there but when i start TWRP i can find everything this happened when i went from Android L Preview to EHNDROIX V apperantly there was something wrong with the release because the download links have now been removed. I have tried Flashing the Recovery, and flashed a new Rom with BOOT IMG and a new kernel but the problem stays the same. Any suggestion? I cant get to my nandroid backup either for some reason.
Please help.
Its a common issue if you read the L thread sticky (where all L questions belong]
Basically back up your data and flash factory images to fix
Thanks.

The basic deal is I got bored of the software and decided that I should root an install some custom ROMs on my Nexus S.
I used the One click method posted I believe in the general forum and everything went smoothly. I downloaded the latest AOKP and CM zips, put them onto my phones memory and went on with my day.
So today I began to put on the AOKP ROM and it got stuck at the initiating swagger screen. And was stuck there for a good 20minutes. I didn't know what to do, so I battery pulled.
I thought I had some backup saved from the day before, but that wasn't the case. So now I'm essentially stuck in thee boot menu for clockwork and my phone has been rendered useless. If any of you guys know what I should do, please tell, I'm extremely pissed off at myself for letting this happen.
I deleted the Cache partition and Dalvik thing when I was first getting ready to put on the ROM. I didn't to a factory wipe, so that might be an issue? I don't know. I've also tried plugging the phone into my computer, but because I cant turn on USB mass storage, I can't look through that either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi,
If ur in the bootloader screen scroll down until u see recovery. Then press the power button.
From recovery scroll down to mounts and storage to connect to computer via USB.
From here u have a few options bjt i would just download another ROM and its gapps or a ROM that already contains them.
Just be careful to get the correct zips for ur type of phone
Good luck

Wow. Thanks a lot. Do you think I should do a factory reset before I install a new rom?
EDIT: Hey vidaljs, thanks for the help! I got the CM10 ROM up and running, apparently I was running some really old version! That USB mount thing really helped!!

No worries
Next thing u should do is make a backup of this working ROM so u can always go back to it in a pinch.
And always follow what the developers suggest in their thread since they created it.
But when I go to a new ROM, I always do a factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvic.
If u haven't found it yet, use titanium backup for ur apps so its easier to apply them to ur newly flashed ROM. The free version is fine but I've heard that paid version has some extra useful benefits.
Good luck and happy flashing.

Hi guys,
Almost same stroy, I tried to Root & install Cyanomodgen 10 on my Nexus S, but boot isn't working quite well, and I'm stuck at a circling image preparing the launch.
Recovery isn't working I got stuck at the image with the robot and the back and the exclamation mark on top of it and like 5 minutes later it launch the cyanomodgen ring again - and can't get in download mode.
I pretty don't get what I should do.
Any idea?
I feel I lack some info on my problem, I'll create a fresh post for it
thanks
The Phone was working fine. When it stopped sending emails, i rebooted and it showed the "samsung" boot screen, then the screen turns black and there is nothing. Sometimes, it will boot into ROM after sitting there for 30 minutes. It is SGII skyrocket running CM 10.2 with TWRP. Tried flashing stock rom and various backups and roms. A few days earlier I had flashed a rom to experiment but ended up reverting back using a backup. I am able to get into download and recovery mode. Is it possible I corrupted something and what do I need to do to get it to boot correctly? Thanks.

Flash the proper recovery, then wipe and flash the Rom again. I'm not going to help you past that, since I've already explained this exact problem last week.

I was given the advice to use odin and flash a stock recovery. Havent tried it yet, but its on my list. That and finishing the christmas tree. My problem was similar and phone would randomly kernal lock during boot.

Thats not helpful. What is "the proper recover?" TWRP has been working for months. Not even a link to where you explained the solution? I searched the forum before I posted and I didnt see it. I flashed the stock with odin before posting and it did the same thing.

Search 'black screen boot' in this forum and you will find dozens of threads describing the exact same problem. Read some of them.
zjsdlr2,
read ALL of this thread first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659
You have many options for ROMs so YOU need to decide what you want to use.
I have a problem with my Neuxs 5.
A month ago i flashed my Nexus on Android L and yesterday i also rooted it.
Then a few hours later it crashes. I don't know why and I can't boot it anymore.
Today i tried to flash it new without a data loss, but the problem is that the apps run all perfectly except for that i can't save anything and could not open the galerie.
But in the settings i can see that there is a memory. Only i can't access on it.
I want the data from the memory, but i don't know how.
I hope you can help me and sorry for my english.

No unfortunately not.
I have the Total Commander
Go back to Kitkat through factory images.
its a very common issue with flashing L, your storage isnt seen because the location changed.
1. you can move everything back manually(your storage is still there, just in another location).
2. or you can flash the factory img for 444 via fastboot.

Thank you guys, but i solve the problem with the nexus root toolkit.
With this toolkit i can make a copy of all data on the phone.
After this i flashed Android L and the IMEI get also back.
Please learn to fix things manually. Toolkits are the root of all evil

Hello everyone. Wanted to share an experience with my OPO,.
Today i rebooted the phone, and when it booted up it presented me the first configuration wizard. I thought, "ok this is strange" but after i completed again the configuration everything was still there.
Tonight I tried to install the XNPH33R update via TWRP, i loaded the file into the sdcard and rebooted into TWRP.
I thought "let's make a nandroid before, in case of problems", and i saw it could not mount the /system partition. The backup failed and then i tried to reboot. The phone does now not start and when i try to boot into TWRP, it reports that now ALL the partitions are borked and can't be mounted, reporting them 0MB, except for the boot one.
My question is, am i the only one that experienced something similar?!
I'm goin on to flash factory image but this seems a big problem!
Little hint: try to install another recovery (e.g. CWM, Philz...) before returning to stock
I doubt OnePlus (or any other mfg) would count this sort of thing a bug if your phone is running anything other than 100% stock.

Obviously i don't want to report a "bug" that i want oneplus to fix
I just wanted to know what happened, my partitions corrupted themselves by... rebooting?
since i saw that many users reported being stuck at the oneplus logo after updating to XNPH33R i wanted to know if this is related to their experience :silly:

I had the same weird problem last night.....
Except my recovery was also reverted to stock.
it happened after i got notifed about an update available couple days in a row which i canceled.
I even have Droidwall and everything but a few apps are blocked from data usage.
What i would suggest is to freeze the ""system update" system app.
I kinda have a feeling the OTA updates have something to do with it.
This happend to me 1 other time a while back with an HTC One X device. Same pattern, System update notifications then couple days of ignoring .... then pooffff...

Phone was originally bone stock, I then rooted & installed TWRP recovery, booted into TWRP and did the Backup option and saved it to SD Card, I then flashed CM 12.1 and used it for a little over a month, trying the various Nightly updates.
I decided to go back to the stock rom I had backed up previously, It restores successfully but when I boot the phone everything is crashing once it hits the home screen, "Unfortunately xxxx has stopped" is seen over and over, I can't load anything, even the settings menu crashes.
I then tried rebooting into TWRP and did Factory reset but when I do this It wont ever get past the Samsung logo on reboot.
Not sure what went wrong with the backup or if Im missing a step, I also tried enabling the verify MD5 check option for the Backup and it says everything is fine.
For now I'm back in CM 12.1, Any ideas appreciated!
Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Your device has a dedicated forum and within that forum you have a Q&A section specifically for your device.
Please try searching within this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help and I am sure others have previously experienced the same thing.
You will find the device experts for your Sprint S3 there.
Within that forum you could also find a stock rooted Rom and download and flash that. You do need to know exactly what boot loader your device is running.
Good luck
Ragnar
