Im new to the whole rom thing and simply wanted lollipop on my galaxy s3 but whenever I want to flash the rom and the gapps it says unable to mount and it lists all these errors, it will normally boot back into the stock touchwiz, I have sprint kit kat 4.4.2, I cant do anything when I go to recovery twrp (2.8.6) it says that I have zero data in my internal and sd, I was wondering if there was any fix to this. Thanks you for your time.

lost internal memory storage photos after i flashed stock rom on my phone. ran Dr.Fone with no results. Are my screenshots/saved images lost forever or is there some way to get them back?
I am pretty sure they are gone.
If you can post your device details, it would be of help to point in the right direction.
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i337
rooted and had 4.2.2 and wanted to update to 4.3 (didnt get updates pushed to it) so i manually downloaded 4.3 and flashed that to my phone using odin.
not sure what other details to give, let me know if that helps
I do believe you have lost them forever.
Please post in AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Here's a dedicated help thread in your device section, you can ask for ideas here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886
Always do a backup before flashing anything, for times like this. Putting a rom on your external SD if you can is probably the easiest way to get running.
For other ideas, ask in the thread.
Good luck!
Hello,
Need some help with a Nandroid restore. When I did the backup everything went fine, and now when I am trying to restore it, when it gets to /data it is taking forever.
I am using philz touch CWM recovery. Samsung Galaxy S5.
I started it yesterday and it is still going, it says 800/5575 mb, so it has a lot more to go... is this normal? is it really going to take a week to do a restore?
Hi,
Since you're stuck now anyway, I'd restart the phone in recovery, wipe system, data and cache and try restoring again. But it may just be corrupt. If you have another nandroid, try to restore it.
Other options are use another device with a micro SD card and put a rom, and gapps if needed on it and install the rom on your device.
Last option is to Odin flash stock firmware again.
If you want other ideas or need further help, please ask in this dedicated help thread for your device,

Thanks for the help! Do you know if wiping the system will get rid of the clockworkmod folder? that is where the nandroid backup is saved...
I may just flash a new rom again, with titanium I should be able to recover everything.
Copying to the other thread too. Thanks!
I'd let the experts who own your device answer that... I'd say no, it won't.... But I don't own your device, so I can't say for sure. ?
Hello,
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5, and i opened clockwork mod custom recovery. I formatted /system and rebooted the phone. Now it is stuck on samsung galaxy s5 screen and wont turn on. Is there any way to fix it without losing my files? Help please. Thanks.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist again. In the future please ask your questions in your device specific forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5 The answer to your question is still, you need to flash the stock firmware in odin and you will lose data.

I rooted my SM-T111 with method given here:
http://techbeasts.com/2014/07/09/install-cwmtwrp-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-lite-sm-t110sm-t111/
Well rooting went smoothly,afterwards I just simply went to Recovery Mode(Just to explore).Afterwards I decided to reboot into system and kept aside my tab and went to complete some work.When I came back I found that it was still at the TWRP recovery page.I tried rebooting again and again and again...
Everytime I kept returning to the same screen.
I searched around the web and came across some solutions,however none of them are completely for my device so I want to ask for some advice.

Considering that I never actually Flashed a ROM or Did an OTA update , would the above mentioned methods work without f*cking my tab more than it already is.
Should I flash a ROM for SM-T111 and check or After flashing ROM use the code or do something else.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Any Help is appreciated.
