I had the same issue when I first unbricked my nitro. I did find the solution on xda but now cannot remember where. Basically I had to pull my mSD card put it in a mSD to SD adapter install it on my laptop, backup it up (very important) format with fat32 put it back in my phone. Boot into recovery, partition and format the card with CMW and then restored my backup. It then worked. I think it has something to do with the way LG formats the card and the CMW bootloader...just a guess though.
Edit: found the post... hope this helps

Miui Sd mount to computer not working

So i just flashed another rom and my sd mount was working but on miui my sd won't show up on the computer it just says I don't have the drivers but it doesn't let me install them. So what could it be wrong with the rom?

ok so lets try a few things. First lets try to fix permissions since miui is a asop rom. If that doesn't work make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, card partition, and data factory reset if your using rom manager. Also data factory reset when flashing a totally new rom not an update. If this doesn't work flash back to an older rom and see if this works. If not we will need to flash back to stock rooted to see if that fixes the problem.
I just flashed the stock rooted and it worked. I really like my miui setup and dot feel like wiping data since I don't connect it to the computer that much. But How do I check permission tho?

[Q] Messed up evo PLEASE HELP

My evo cannot install apk's and whenever i boot up a rom i downloaded from my computer it randomly reboots. The rom's I tried were Alter rom and elite series resurected. The only roms i got to work were evo classic and dark light. Please help me.
Some backstory. It all started when i flashed Evo classic last night and I did not have the Google Play Store. I decided to get an APK. What I did was got an APK from a thread on XDA I tried to install it through the Downloads app but it froze up my phone and just rebooted. I tried this several other times with no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Some roms you have to flash google proprietary files.

You did not say that you made a nandroid back up of your phone, have you? If not, you just experienced why you should start.
What recovery are you using? Have you tried wiping dalvik and cache to see if that helps?
More details on what you did to get yourself in this situation would be helpful.

I did that. For dark light i used ICS Gapps. And when I rebooted there was no play store. Also for Classic sense I went through setup, and there was no playstore.
I am thinking this could be a Sd card issue.
You can't flash ICS on anything below 4.0. It won't work
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I tried sense 1.0 and I had a Android backup of dark light I tried to go back to that but no market so I used am on ra to fix permissions then I installed gaaps and there was a market. But when I install an app or apk my phone reboots.
If it were me, I'd:
1) Backup the files on SD
2) In Recovery: Reformat/re-partition SD
3) Copy a ROM .zip to SD
4) In Recovery: Flash ROM
5) In Recovery: Save recovery.log to SD
6) Post recovery.log here
If you do this with AlterROM, you'll need to use the Save Log option at the end of the installer.

Thanks but I think I found out the problem what I did was install a rom ran gaaps went into recovery fixed permissions took out my SD card booted up the phone downloaded something from the market put my SD back in and everything worked. Also I tried AlterRom but when I got done with aroma and booted it up there was no launcher. So what I am thinking is that its an SD card issue. And other help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading my tome of knoledge . Any help is appreciated.

twrp back to cwmr please help

Need some help guys. I wanted to try out TWRP and was currently using CWMR 5.5.0.4 so I flashed and everything went fine. Didn't really like it so I odin back to CWMR. Now in CWMR it won't see anything on my ext sd card. All my files and my CWMR backups are there and usually when I go to restore I would have the option to restore from sd card or internal sd card. Now I only have the option to see my internal sd card. How can I get my CWMR to see my ext sd card again? Also I was looking for a newer version of CWMR but could only find the odin version of 5.5.0.4. Thanks again guys for any help.
A lot of the first cwm recoveries don't support external sd. Upgrade to at least 5.8.4.5.

Problem fixed thank you. But where is the newer CWMR? I can't find any good links anywhere. Even google.
www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
What didn't you like about twrp?
It does the same thing but is touch screen.
I love how I can just flash without manually going into download mode too. Goo manager does it all automatically for you through twrp

Phone stuck in bootlooop!

I installed ParanoidRom and everything was going fine till my phone did not start and went into bootloop.I'm really worried,i don't know what to do.
I've gone into recovery and wiped everything from cache to sd card but nothing seems to help.I have tried re-flashing boot.img and recovery.zip files but nothing works.I tried downloading stock RUU for my device but could not find the right one.
I want to flash another custom ROM but i don't know how to do it without access to SD card.SD card does not show up in my computer.It shows up only if i start my phone and change from "charge only" to "disk drive" but since i can't boot into my phone that option is closed.Is there any way to install the ROM from the zip file on my computer?
I have tried extracting the contents of the ROM zip file to the fastboot folder and flashing the boot.img but it gives a BootMagic check fail error.
Is my phone bricked,is there any hope,i can't lose my phone.
Yes there is hope, so don't worry
Go to recovery, Mount SD card, transfer ROM to phone and flash

Get into recovery->advanced->mount usb storage. The pc will open your sd card. Just paste the rom then on the phone do unmount

When i go into recovery,the phone opens the clockwork mod recovery and under it's advanced menu the only options are :
reboot recovery
wipe dalvik cache
report error
key test
show log
fix permissions
partition internal sdcard
go back
There is no option to mount USB storage!

Oh sorry I use twrp recovery. In clock work there should be a mounts and storage option, then mount usb storage

Ok i managed to copy the ROM zip file to SD card but when i tried to flash boot.img it gave me a BootMagic check fail error.What do i do now.
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!
Why are you still trying with that rom?
Custom roms are sometimes bad, its happened to me 2 times one after the other....theyre just too buggy to work.
also putting stuff on microsd card from phone is kinda....stupid. just use the microsd card adapter for pcs they always hand out one along with the micro.
Download ANOTHER custom rom (there are many better ones than paranoid...foxhound or rootbox are good. Not cyanogen they still need to make a complete version for s3).
And FACTORY RESET/FORMAT EVERYTHING and then flash from rom package. Why bother flashing boot image?

Plus theres no reason to be worried if ur phone is stuck in bootloop. Bootloop saves phones not kills them. If it can't run the os (custom rom)....well it just can't. Take off the battery and re insert, at least it wont run out of battery life.
Then when uve got everything ready along with rom on sd card just boot in recovery mode and do what i told you earlier. If sdcard is a problem i remember there was an option in clockwork to have the rom pushed to the phone from the pc just like what happens when u root with odin...

I'm trying a different ROM.I'm not using Paranoid ROM i'm using PAC ROM.I don't have a microsd card adapter but anyways i was able to successfully copy the ROM zip file to the sd card.
I have downloaded PAC ROM but i can't install it.If i install it by flashing the boot image in fastboot folder it gives a BootMagic error and if i try to install it via CWM recovery it aborts the installation and gives some weird error.

I'm using the boot image found in the zip file of PAC ROM.When i flash this boot image it first sends boot but there's and error when it tries to write boot.
I was using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img but that was giving an error so i tried using another command,fasboot flash system boot.img and there was no error this time.So i typed the command fastboot reboot and went into recovery to open CWM recovery and chose install zip from sd card,i chose the zip file but it gave an error and did not install.I don't know what to do.Looks lik my phone is done.
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!
Don't do that stuff without asking! I don't think it was a good idea to do fastboot flash system.. But it may be fixable. I've never used that command so just wait that someone that knows what to do gets here.

using that command didn't do any damage.The problem is that i cannot install from Zip file on the sd card,it gives an error :
E:Error in /sdcard/Winzipfile.zip (winzip is the name of the ROM file)
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.

Are you going mad? What the hell is pac rom? Are you fixated with paranoid android? All they have are.dropdown windows like tablets...not really very useful. Get a MORE popular rom, and more stable. Try aokp.
And dont flash just the bootimage. Flash it ALL. Reset everythung to factory and install FULL rom...at this point its obvious.the problem of the paranoid rom doesnt rely in bootimage...maybe its kernel.
So:
Intstall new rom + new kernel(just to be sure its not kernel problem).

How about googling something before calling someone else mad?

PAC rom is quite popular.
And only image files can be flashed and there is only one image file in the zip file called boot.img
R: Phone stuck in bootlooop!
dont get sensitive i was trying to help. What i meant was:
"Good sir, would it not be wiser to stop flashing bits of roms and instead flash all of it through cwm?
It does, in fact, seem to me that your downloaded rom/roms appear to be broken or somewhat buggy, perhaps flashing some evem MORE popular roms that the already very popular pac rom would fix the problem, thus liberating all of us from the madness you cell-phone is causing and making it's user happy once more"

[Q] Can't flash my S3

Ok so I downloaded the Beanstalk ROM, after using Intergalactic for a while. I wiped and formatted in TWRP - my issue is that I can't get my PC to recognize my phone now, so I can't just copy and paste the ROM to my root folder. I could only get it onto my Mirco SD card. I tried installing the rom from that but it kept failing. I thought it might be that it wasn't on the root folder, but when I moved it there it still didn't work.
Is there some way to back-to-stock my phone through Odin? Or does anyone know a workaround for installing this rom? Wondering if I need to install CWM recovery or something...
thats a 4.4 ROM right? the latest CWM should be able to do it. TWRP doesnt work with 4.4 yet afaik.
