I just wanted to install the clockmod recovery in order to flash a new rom. (My phone wont download anything I thought the version is too old)
Since my phone was rooted, I just went straight to download the 4 ext recovery and installed it as the video showed on Youtube.
everything was OK until the very last step, which is restarting the phone and get into to boot loader? I forgot to uncheck the fast boot, so repeated to run 4ext and restart the phone many times. after unckecked the the fastboot first time, I successfully got into the boot loader but it didn't allow me to make the recovery there is only one option, (hit the power to something I cant remember) so nothing changed this time. Then I repeated it once more, this time it turns out two option, to update or not, then I hit the update, finally it shows me to hit power to reboot.. everything in my phone is gone now except the rom manager and super user apps.
But everything in sd card is still there, just the phone couldnt recognized the card now....
What can I do now???
you could try taking loading your sd card to a computer, copy everything off and reformat and try. You try to load another ROM. What happens if you start the phone without a SD Card in the phone?

You meant to reformat my sdcard then flash the new rom? But I still need to install the 4ext recovery before flashing the new rom, right?
Yes you could do that, you guy try using Clock work mod. Works the same way, minus the touch feature. The only reason i say reformat your sd card is because you said it was not being recognized by the phone.
What happens if you power up your phone with no sd card installed?

Nothing happened when I uninstalled the sdcard, but when I reinstalled it and powered up, it did show preparing the sd card on top...
But all the old apps and contacts are still missing, did I just wipe them all??? Is there anyway to recover them??
If I did wipe everything, how come it doesn't change anything when I open the "removable disk" in my computer
if you are using a Google account. then you just have to resync your account and you will get your contacts back. The apps are gone and will have to be redownloaded unless you made a backup. Like coping the sd card contents to your computer and then putting them back on your card. If you redownload the apps, your data should still be there to use.

I'm confused. You wanted CWM so you installed 4ext? Step by step, exactly what did you do?

Sry being a noob, isn't 4ext a CWM software? I just follow a guy who made a tutorial to install codefireX Builds rom on youtube, he said before flash the rom, I need to root my phone which I already did, and install clockwork recovery mod, which 4ext is good for it.

1. CWM and 4ext are both recoveries. Though 4ext was based on CWM at some point, they are separate recoveries.
2. What, exactly, step by step, did this video have you do?
3. For future reference, I don't advise using videos. They can be outdated and/or just plain inaccurate, and fewer people view them, so problems aren't pointed out as quickly.

Where is the file that you wanted to flashed?? how were you trying to flash CWM? What for? 4ext is a custom recovery as CWM, so you just needed to flash a custom rom from there...

I just downloaded the 4ext free version and installed it, after that, it told me to enter the hboot (press volume down and power button), which caused my problem. It supposed to have the option to hit the recovery button, but mine just require me to update and reboot... After reboot, everything was wiped...
I just thought video was more convenient.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih5orslc-4M

Hmm.. best bet would be adb fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery image (not sure where to get the .IMG file but google and you'll find it =})
Then rename it recovery.IMG and put it where your adb.exe is (C:\Windows\System32 if you used Advance Ace Hack Kit)
Then type adb adb flash recovery recovery.IMG and it should flash 4ext
Then put a Rom on the SD Card and flash it using 4EXT =)
TheCorner approves..

Are you S-OFF, do you have recovery installed? CWM or 4ext are just the same to flash a rom as long you have a recovery installed. To flash a partition you need to be whether S-OFF or have the bootloader unlocked....what situation is yours?
Let me tell you something that I share with MissB up there...that video sucks..there are lots of GOOD tutorials on how to flash a rom, but of course you need to read first...if not just ask the guy who did the video. Flashing and hacking is not for the lazy ones.
Hi,
I have put more than 12 hours of my time, before creating this thread. I have tried things, but still struck, so thought to post it in a new thread. Thanks for all your time.
Currently struck in,
fastboot mode started udc_start()
I tried, fastboot erase recovery -> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -> fastboot reboot (successfully). But it still struck at same place after reboot.
I tried with different recovery images, but still the same observation. I tried to boot by key combination (volume down+home+power), still same observation.
Earlier, I installed ROM manager through google play and installed CWM recovery, version 5.xxx (which I feel now is a mistake), as I tried to install CM11 from MukilSoni, which needs CWM version 6.xx +. I am able to go into recovery and select CM11 image through CWM and proceed with install steps. But, after initial selection in CWM (like app install, etc) it rebooted and went into fastboot mode.I checked the log, it ended with some return error 7.
Then, I tried to Google and check how to recover from fastboot mode, but all failed. I didnt tried KDZ method, but thought to hear from you guys before making it more messy.
Glad, if I get any help and appreciate it.
Thanks for reading it and your time.

Did you ever try pull out the battery, reinsert, reboot system with 3 buttons combination? I got several fastboot mode as you're facing, and the system works just fine using above method.
I think you got just soft brick. Please, keep the device stay untouched until someone with such expertise to solve the problem will guide you. I think @akiratoriyama can share his bad experience bricking his lovely p500.
Wish you luck.
PS.
You must to press three buttons a bit longer, do not release it, until recovery mode appearing. Otherwise fastboot mode or blank screen showing instead.

Two years ago I bricked my phone also after using ROM manger. Though I will never ever use this or similar tools again. But at least, if I remember correctly, I could revive my phone with the "fastboot erase recovery" method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046. But since you failed is seems to be another problem. I am not a fastboot expert , but since you bricked your phone with ROM manager too, I wanted to share my success story with above mentioned method and installing AmonRa recovery. So maybe you will give it a second try? All I can remember is, that it is extremely important to follow the instructions exactly.

Thanks @xu3sno & @androidck
I am also getting help from mukulsoni & others in Official CM11 version 10 thread.
I am able to go into the flash tool (pointed by mukulsoni, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49567169&postcount=45)
and able to go 'Select kernel to hotboot' with recovery.img (CWMod-6.4.0.6-Jan16)
But rebooting by HOME+Volume DOWN+POWER --> goes into CWM recovery of v5.0.2.0 (which i installed initially)
I am thinking, what to do next.
I will keep my progress posted here.
Thanks for listening..

Are you sure that you are booting into cwm v5.0.2.0? Version is listed at the top. If that is true, then either the flash tool failed to flash cwm v6.4.0.6, or you have chosen the wrong recovery.img. This can easily happen since they all have the same name. Try to flash it again, but make sure that you use the correct image.
Also, I believe that you may not have any rom installed, or existing rom might be corrupted. So you may want to flash a cm-9 or cm-10.x rom first, just to stabilize and to be sure that you are healthy. Those can be flashed using cwm 5.0.2.0. I can post a link or two, if you'd like.
Edit: Here is a link to cm-10.1.6:

Thanks @ibub for your helping hand.
I will check why recovery image not upgrading as expected. (I didn't manually download CWM5.xx version to my PC. I got it via ROM manager app, so i hope I haven't chosen wrong image)
Yes, I got CM10.1.6 from your link and installation went successfully and able to boot up..
But, it is very slow. (May be it will take some time?!) I will check it.
Between, @mukulsoni advised to install CWM6.xxx via CWM5.0.2.0. I will check how it goes.

Yeah, I chose to post that link only to make sure that your phone is healthy. Now you can install any recovery/rom that you want. If your volume keys are broken, I suggest that you flash to twrp recovery. It's touch driven.

Hey. Just a few days ago I learned hhow to use CWM and all that stuff (what a noob ikr). I installed CM12 and Elemental X kernel. I tried to install Xposed Framework but it did not work and ever since, my phone will not boot up properly. It shows the google logo, shuts down, shows google logo again and then it does the CM12 Boot animation but doesnt do anything after that. I have tried everything. Sadly, I did not have a backup for when this did not occur so I have 1 backup that has this error. I already tried clearing devlik cache and factory reseting from recovery but it doesnt work. I think if someone could tell me a very noob friendky way to install the stock rom would help. Very noob friendly.

I have, but do not understand how to do it.
Easiest way I can think of: The CM12 zip file is still on your phone. Flash it again (+ GApps) to remove Xposed again
Flashing the nightly will clear the /system partition including Xposed and overwrite it with the CM12 system again -> without Xposed. Then you should be able to boot

First of all: Change your recovery to TWRP ( it has MTP available, so you can transfer files from the PC when you are in the recovery ). Use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905
After that, reboot into recovery and TWRP should appear. There, go to " Mount " and tap on " Enable MTP " or something like that. After that, go to your computer and find a ROM that works ( and gapps, if you want) , connect your phone to the computer, after that copy it to your phone. Then go to " WIPE " and swipe to do a factory reset. After that go to install, select your ROM zip and flash it. After that select " Reboot to system " and if it says something about rooting your ROM, deny it ( if you want root, you'll do it later by flashing yourself the latest SuperSU, it is explained in the link with the recovery tutorial ). This should make your phone boot again, having a new ROM installed.

Ok. Being that you are a super noob lol.. This could be the easiest option for you at the moment. I will give you a link to Wugs Link which should get you back to stock. But I would recommend that you learn how to use a pc to get your device back to working order in the future. Also there are tons of videos that tech you how to use adb etc. Please just read and look up tutorials and make sure you educate yourself first before diving into stuff that you are really not familiar with. Good luck...

It does matter. Go into device manager on your pc. There is probably an icon with a yellow exclamation mark, right click and go to where you can choose a driver from a list on your computer. Choose android adb composite interface.

OK, it sounds like you have a couple issues. No adb/fastboot and no drivers. Google 15 second adb install xda. Install that. That should solve both problems.

Hey, I rooted my S6 edge (I believe just using the CF autoroot ROM, if my terminology is correct, I'm not too well versed here) and installed a custom recovery menu (TWRP 3.0) a few months ago and everything was working fine.
Today I decided that I wanted to wipe my phone, and I quickly googled to see if a factory reset from the settings app would play well with a rooted phone, and it said it would, it lied. Now my phone is rebooting only into the TWRP menu. I don't know what to do to fix it.
I've tried reloading the back up I made when I installed TWRP, it restores successfully but when rebooting it crashes. I have to reboot using Power+VolDown+Home. I also tried to just reinstall the ROM (assuming that going to Reboot - Download would be the same as using the stock recovery menu) but it also crashes so I don't think ODIN can detect it, the phone does however get recognised by my computer
I'm completely lost on what to do now, as I'm rather new to this, so any help would be appreciated!

Thank you both for replying. I couldn't get it too turn off, however I did manage to install a custom ROM through TWRP itself. I think I've just installed TWRP wrong, so thats why it was crashing, so I'll update and reinstall when I'm next at home to see if that stops it crashing. Everything seems to be working now though, so thanks!
hello everyone, today i tried to flash twrp on my phone (rooted with magisk and running stock samsung rom), the flash was successful and i was able to boot into twrp but i coudnt access my storage or anything else, so i saw a guide saying to change the filesystem to ext2 then ext4, after i did that i could access most of the other folders but not the storage foldier as it still showed 0mb. i thought i just need to reboot my device to fix the issue but now im stuck on a bootloop. i cant poweroff the device since no button combination is currently working. is there anything i can do to power it off or do i have to wait a few days till the battery drains to 0?
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy A53 5G (Exynos)
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and...
forum.xda-developers.com
this is the link i used to flash twrp except i didnt follow the wipe instructions because i dont want to use a custom os.
and if nothing else works and i have to wait a few days till it drains to 0, will i be able to boot back into samsung's recovery mode or is this device hard bricked?
help will be greatly appreciated.
This phone doesn't have the nice feature of holding the power button for force off so that is a negative here.
I don't think you should have edit:changed the partition types. If that was necessary it would be a ridiculous thing for other Android roms to have to do. Its all Android so should have worked without that.
Its unlikely that anything new will result from a cold boot verses a warm boot. Worth a shot I suppose but don't hold your breath. Expect nothing new.
If its stuck without Odin, fastboot, ADB, all buttons not doing anything, can't ingest and do something from sd card, can't show up via USB on computer, etc with nothing at all then its totally finished since nothing can be done. Consider it a loss and learn from it.
I'd like to also state that there are for some reason people who supposedly bring roms over to devices and they don't have the device so therefore don't really know if it works or not. You have to be careful about the guides you follow. I've seen someone try with a device that could not be unlocked ever for anyone and that person thought it would work. Live and learn.

hello, i was able to boot the phone into twrp and do a factory reset, i had to time the vol up + power button at exactly the time when the screen went black and it worked!. but now i have a question, if i want to get twrp again and i dont plan to flash a custom rom like it says in the guide, how do i get twrp to recognize my storage? and do you flash twrp before installing an os or after because ive done it after installing the os.

yeah so it seems like the issue isnt with changing the file system or anything because i installed twrp again and tried rebooting and i got the same bootloop issue, but if i flash a rom then ill lose twrp like it happened last time so i dont understand what im supposed to do
you have to format data in twrp otherwise it won't see your storage folder.
once formatted reboot to twrp then reboot to system, it should reboot to stock rom and the set up pages.

wipe>format data>type yes>reboot to recovery. i did that and still cant reboot to system bootloop issue persists
yes you did it correctly this time, is there anyway to undo your 'filesystem to ext2 then ext4'?
or maybe you have to flash the custom kernel to get it all up and running again

Try a different version of TWRP I remember this happened to me before and I installed a different version and it was fine
