How do I fix this?

"Hi! I'm messaging you in regards to my issue while flashing Cyanogenmod 10. I will try to explain exact details of what happened. First I successfully rooted flash clockwork recovery mod superuser etc. using your amazing step by step videos. I decided to flash CM10. I did the beginning part by opening cmd prompt and doing the boot.img etc. While I was on fastboot mode I noticed you had an option for hboot. I did not have that option so instead I clicked Bootloader, opened into to recovery, and tried vigorously installing cm10 from sd card but it always said it could not open it and aborted it. I panicked and wipe data/cache/dalvik cache. I tried multiple times and I still could not install it. On the bootloader I decided to click Factory Reset. It took me too recovery but now I cannot open my sdcard and this error keeps popping up: "E: Can't mount". Now I am panicking big time because I know this could by a soft brick but I have no idea how to undo everything. Please help! It would be greatly appreciated! ".
This is the message i sent to the person who made the video but I am also posting it here because I was wondering how to undo all of this and fix it. This is his video he does a good job of explaning but I just want to fix this and get it back to normal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elDvcVot7qo
Thanks everyone!

This, also note what version your hboot is, 1.14 means you have to flash the boot.img first from fastboot before you can install that .zip fromTWRP

I just found out that there is a version specifically for the AT&T builds. Yeah I did that and corrupted my sdcard and now I'm stuck on how to reformat it. I have to admit I am quite a noob at this but I've been flashing since my old Samsung Captiviate.

Yes you're right I have to fastboot the boot.img first. I'm just stuck on how to get back because the CM10 I put on my phone was for a different version of the One X and I've corrupted my sd card.

I did exactly as you said and I did reformat SD from windows using TWRP and successfully flashed CM10/GAAPS etc. But my phone is just on a bootloop with the HTC screen popping up and a message saying "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action". Now what lol?

You'll always see that screen that's our splashy screen after we unlock our bl...but it seems as your forgetting to flash the boot IMG manually through fastboot AFTER you flash the rom

+1. You need to manually flash boot.img via fastboot first, and then flash the CM10 rom w/ GApps. fastboot flash boot boot.img

once you've flashed the boot.img via fastboot (hopefully that'll clear up your bootloop issue). There is an app around called FlashImageGUI for flashing img files (straight from the zip too) so you don't need a computer to flash the boot.img. This is a great timesaver.

Can not reboot to recovery

I'm trying to flash an update to PAC Rom, but I can't get my phone to reboot to recovery (or even shut down).
When I use the power menu, no matter what I choose, the phone does a hot boot. When I hold power and volume down it will go to bootloader then I can access TWRP, but I can't clear dalvik or cache as it says that it can't mount the partitions. The ROM runs fine however and I can access all my data so the cache can't be corrupt.
What can I do here? Thanks to those who help!

Sounds like somethings wrong with your recovery. Get into the bootloader and reflash TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery FileNameOfTWRP.img"

Would using flashify work here?
It's been a recurring theme on the PAC forum

Yea that should work too, but if not, fastboot is the way to go.

EDIT : Very very strange. Flashing TWRP again via Flashify got it to work. It seems something in PAC Rom is corrupting the recovery. I think if I get this all worked out then I'm going to have to go back to DK until it's all worked out. I wish there was another ROMs with all the same features as these two but got updates (whereas DK doesn't any more) and is stable enough to DD (lots of FC with PAC).
EDIT 2: Just tried to reboot into recovery again. After booting teh ROM just for a few minutes the recovery was corrupted. I can't access internal memory from recovery any more, even if I get it to boot. It doesn't make any sense as the ROM has full access to it all.
To be clear, TWRP says Internal Storage - 0

That worked! Thank you!
I actually used to go around the Q&A forum telling people to do just that when they were having issues with wiping on early TWRP versions. Surprised I didn't think to try it. All back on DK now and hunting for a new ROM. :victory:

Sounds like you solved it, but I think you could've also done an adb reboot recovery command. Not sure if that works though since I usually only use fastboot.

After flashing teh recovery again, I could get INTO it, but the data was not showing up so I couldn't actually do anything from within TWRP. It read I had 0mb internal storage.

[Q] LG Nexus5 hammerhead unable to complete Factory Image 5.0

LG D821 16GB after power on continue rebooting with Google logo..
I flashed factory image successfully except image version 5.
any help here?

Make sure you're using the latest adb/fastboot files from the SDK

Have you tried to remove the erase userdata flag and then running it? Or maybe you'll need to flash each image individually as some people are doing.

are you trying to flash again? No need to if u are doing that.You have flashed, now go into stock recovery and just wipe and reboot the phone. That did it for me.
Can't say whether its an issue with old fastboot files or not because I have setup my device after flashing 4 times with that error and dont want to flash it again just now. In case it matters I had no issue with flashing flo , but got that error with hammerhead.
Do what @EddyOS says. Maybe that's the issue.

Flashing/Booting up L for the first time takes a lot more time than previous Android versions, as ART pre-compiles everything. Give it time, just let it boot. If you used flash-all, you'll be fine.

[Q] Can't remove cm12

Hi! I recently installed a cm12 nightly on my nexus 5 and now I can't get rid of it ad return back to stock. I tried using nrt and doing it manually but after everything is finished my device doesn't reboot like it's supposed to, it just stays in fastboot mode and when I manually reboot it it boots into cm again and messages pop up saying that system UI has stopped etc so I can't use the device. I tried using force flash mode in nrt and although it did reboot it rebooted in cm again and the same messages pop up.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Did you restore stock kernel?

.
I thought the google factory image would do that? Do i have to do it manually and if yes how do i do it?

If you are using WugFreshs NRT you can do this within Advanced Utilities - Fastboot Flash - press Boot (Kernel). Restore stock one and then flash stock image.
You can also try if phone will boot up immediately after you restore kernel. If I remember wright, that is enough.

I should also note that when I try to manually install the factory image manually it successfully installs the bootloader the radio and all the other imgs except the system img. It fails to install that

It hapeness somethime, but just try again. It also hapenned to me. So. First select your device with current version of android you are using. Leave NRT to update all necessary files. Restore stock kernel. Flash stock image that you downloaded.
You should be ok.

I tried that. When i asked it to download it manually during hashcheck it said mismatched. So I installed it manually and then tried to factory reset with force flash mode off and it said system img was missing. So I enabled force flash and it said it couldn't load system.img. After that it booted in CM again

Hashcheck of what file?

That happened when I pressed boot(kernel) from advanced option. so it was the hashcheck of boot.img when i asked nrt to automatically download it

Ok. I have already done that. I tried formatting the device and did everything again. I manually installed everything but when I get to system.img I get an error message saying "cannot load system.img"
I also tried re-downloading the factory image from google's site to make sure that I didn't have any corrupted files but the same problem keeps coming up

After flashing the bootloader/radio, you need to reboot the bootloader.
This is important.
I will put myself in recovery now.

Okay thanks for the reply!
I realized i was using an old version of odin.. maybe thats why it wasnt completely flashing the firmware before.. it would get to almost a full bar and fail. then i would have to flash BL or twrp to get it to boot again.. got the latest odin and it flashed fully this time.
still waiting on my phone to boot up though idk if its stuck on bootloop or not..
Edit *looks like im stuck in bootloop now* ill try formatting and flashing again
Edit #2: I booted into default recovery and wiped data & cache and the phone booted up just fine we'll see how this goes *fingers crossed* lol

Step 2
I presume you're flashing from an SD card. Please backup its data and format it.
Then re-download one of the zips and test flash in TWRP.

Ok do the firmware thing then factory reset in the stock recovery ! Then flash twrp in Odin with auto reboot unchecked in options ! Then pull an replace battery ! Then boot right into twrp an flash superSU SR5 2.8.2 zip an reboot ! Or you can boot twrp an Rom instead !

Glad to be of help. Peter's tricks should solve your final hurdles.
