My phone is crippled... Mounting from recovery

Hey guys,
I flashed to the 5.01H dream build, didn't like it, and tried a nandroid recovery back to the latest JFW.
Now I'm getting the hanging G1. I've tried wiping but it still hangs. My SD card no longer has update.zip, because I deleted it upon sucessful launch of the 5.01H. I don't have a microSD card reader and was wondering how I can mount the sd card to usb from the recovery console, which I can get to.
I'm tried searching around but can't find a clear answer, and my linux knowledge is basically nill.
Thanks for your help!

plug your phone in..
using fastboot type the following
1. fastboot erase system -w
2. fastboot erase boot
after this... use your nandroid images and do this:
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
4. fastboot reboot

I feel like a total idiot. I just realized that I did not flash the boot and userdata images when I did my nandroid restore.
Thank you, you're a lifesaver!
P.S. The 3rd step actually was fastboot flash userdata data.img

glad that helped! yeah you are right....data.img..

Bootloop in Lollipop and can't restore backup

Hello guys, I need urgent help
I've upgraded my moto G 2013 to Lollipop retail UE a couple of days ago, everything was working perfect, I have it only rooted and few apps installed, nothing weird (no xposed). I wanted to install a new bootlogo but just in case I did a backup with the TWRP recovery.
I got a bootloop after flashing that, and when I wanted to restore my backup, it was not there! The ''restore'' tab in TWRP is empty, but I see the backup in my sdcard with the file manager of TWRP, it was done just 2 min before but it's just like if the recovery doesn't see it.
What can I do? I've tried with a factory reset but still in bootloop. Can I flash a Kitkat stock rom via fastboot? Because I've seen in some places that it can brick my phone... I was thinking, maybe I can flash the logo of the Lollipop UE rom?
Thanks in advance, I need your help

yes u can flash the kitkat stock rom but follow these steps carefully......
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
note:
u will receive some errors but no problem continue
after flashing kitkat will see flashing line on ur device every time u reboot ur device
just on and off ur screen and that would do it(fix the problem).
upgrade to lollipop to get rid of that flashing lines problem.

Thank you very much! any help to try to install the backup I have but isn't detected by TWRP recovery? Because I wouldn't like to lose all my data

Did you store it to an external SD card using a OTG device? Did you try changing the location for the restore file in TWRP?

[Q] Bootloop after android M preview 2

I used (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-android-m-t3121186) this link to flash previw version 2 of Android M while I was on Android 5.1.1. I did not erase data before flashing. Used fastboot from MAC to flash new version Now my phone was stuck in bootloop. I tried to flash android L stock back but still in bootloop. Please help. I flashed TWRP recovery to erase data and cache but it says error cannot mount cache. please help.

I ran into the same issue, but found this solution:
First, flash the bootloader and the radio, and then reboot the bootloader (radio only applies to some devices):
fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader file name here>.img
fastboot flash radio <radio file name here>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash the recovery, boot, system, and vendor images (vendor only applies to the Nexus 9):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Recommended: For a full wipe, flash cache and userdata as well (userdata only applies to some devices):
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Reboot your device:
fastboot reboot

Hi,
Instead of linking the OP to an external resource, which has instructions for another device (hammerhead does not have a /vendor partition, for example), you could/should have linked him to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
OP, stickies exist for a reason.

Nothing can be written on internal storage (insert sd card error on camera, etc)

I posted this on reddit...but didn't get much help...i hope the geniuses at xda can help me
As the title says, the camera app (any camera app) won't work because as you start any of them, it asks to insert the sd card, but this is a 2013 Nexus 5...so it doesn't have an sd card.
I've done a fair amount of research and the only thing that seems to be mentioned is factory reset. I've done that...both through the settings and twrp. The phone has a stock marshmallow rom.
I tried to download any other file and it won't let me download anything becauase the "sd card" is not available. So it's as if the internal sd card isn't mounted? how do I fix this? I don't have a computer nearby to do anything with adb...any help would be GREATLY appreciated...
The amount of storage according to the settings is correct (3gb used of 12 gb..16gb nexus 5)...all app permissions are correct. I've reflashed two different stock firmwares with the exact same result.

Try this:
boot into fastboot;
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase recovery (to erase existing recovery);
run this fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (to flash stock recovery from stock ROM)
run this fastboot command: fastboot erase userdata;
run this fastboot command to flash the usedata img from the stock ROM: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img;
boot into stock recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset and wipe cache;
reboot.

I'll try that tonight or tomorrow morning. Where do you suggest I download recovery.img (the stock recovery)?
Thanks for the help one way or another.. Hehe

The stock Google images are here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
I assume the phone has an unlocked bootloader since you were able to flash stock ROMs.

What did you do between all being fine and now this problem?

I sold the phone to someone I know. I had a rom (i can't remember which)...so before i sold the phone, i encrypted it, wiped it clean, flashed the stock rom (and radio)....and did a factory reset.

Thanks! I used the factory images and flashed everything from the compressed archive and it worked..you're a lifesaver. I guess I had to go further and reset everything..but thanks again!

Fixing broken boot (RMX2030)

I accidentally did "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" when trying to flash the stock recovery and now it just boots into recovery all the time. I was able to reflash TWRP so I can boot into that and I've restored the Boot partition from the backup I made but that didn't help, so I tried restoring the vendor image and system image, which didn't help either. Then I tried restoring the individual backups I made of the dtbo, EFS, modem, persists and recovery+vbmeta but it still boots into TWRP when I try to boot into system.
I hope someone can help me fix this, as I bought it to give to my brother for his birthday in a couple of weeks!
I note that the recovery.img is 65,536KB, which is the same size as my backed up boot.emmc.win but obviously they're not the same thing.
EDIT: OK, panic over! I wiped System and installed the A20 ROM from the ozip and it's working again now. Phew!

May I ask if how did you do that?
I think we almost have the same situation but rather different reason..Please help
