So I woke up this morning and I was running CM10, goo manager told me I had an update so I applied the update and low and behold it was CM9 on boot. Needless to say CM9 would not boot because nothing was wiped. So I decided to go back and re-flash 10 (CWM touch). So wiped and it said could not mount user data. after re-flashing it again would not boot. so I downloaded odin3 and the stock sprint rom and tried flashing that. No dice Odin screen gets stuck on "Erasing userdata.." for like 10 minutes, after it gets past the sprint LTE animation and get stuck booting in the glowing samsung screen. Also I cannot mount /SDcard in recovery but i can mount the external. I also cannot adb to the device. any Ideas????

Sounds like odin flash is a success. When in recovery, can you wipe data/factory reset without error? That is a MUST after the odin flash. So boot into recovery and wipe

No dice. The default android recovery was put back from the stock odin re-flash, it comes up with "ERROR unable to mount /Userdata.." "Cannot Find /Userdata.."

Assuming you haven't already tried. See if a custom recovery can wipe or mount it. try to factory reset with TWRP (attched odin flash) and report back

I'm stuck on logo boot screen. I believe the problem is because I formatted the root partition of phone.
I can get into to download mode and install stock firmware. I can also install recovery like TWRP, OUDHS or CWM
I can't do factory reset b/c phone can't mount /data. It can't format /sdcard either
Any ideas? I'm thinking I need the pit file to restore the partition table but having trouble locating one
This happened before with my Galaxy Player and I was able to restore with stock firmware & pit

I figured it out. Instead of factory reset with TWRP or CWM I tried with stock Samsung recovery
I Odin stock recovery. Sorry I forgot where I download it from but it was in one of these threads
(1) Put in download mode. Then Odin stock firmware (everything unchecked)
(2) Unplug USB cable & pull battery. Boot into recovery (vol up + power). It took a few tries to do this
(3) Factory reset & wipe data
(4) Reboot
Hope this helps anyone else with same problem
I'm selling my HTC One (stock ROM, unlocked) so I wanted to wipe my data, apps and settings. I performed a factory reset/data wipe in CWM and rebooted and it would get stuck at the Verizon logo. I cleared cache, tried again, and got stuck at "Android is updating, Starting apps" for a good 20 minutes. Now it goes back to the Verizon logo.
Does the factory reset not leave the ROM intact? What can I do now just so it'll boot to a clean slate?

Download the stock rooted odexed ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
After you flash it, wipe data and boot up.
Then flash the latest firmware and stock recovery through Fastboot (also that thread), and do another factory wipe using stock recovery.
Your S-Off / Unlocked status will not be affected by this.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I've been at it for a good 5 hours now and I can't get past the first step.
Using TWRP, I've tried adb push <rom.zip> to /sdcard/, /mnt/sdcard/ and /data/media/ and every time it says it's successful, but the directories show up empty in TWRP. Without a removable SD card, I'm not sure how else I can get the ROM on the phone for flashing. I'm not sure if it's related or not, but everytime I reboot from TWRP, it says my phone isn't rooted. I select "Install" but it occurs again, even though supersu.apk is on the internal storage.
I also tried CWM but couldn't get past "format () expected 5 args, got 4. Installation aborted (Status 7)".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get TWRP to flash the ROM? Thanks.
Try this cmd instead.
Code:
adb push nameofrom.zip /data/media/0/nameofrom.zip

I recently returned my phone to stock in order to reset all the firmware and RIL data. Here is how I did it:
Enter recovery TWRP 2.6.3.4 (if you have 2.6.3.3 you may experience issues)
Boot into recovery, then format Data, System, Cache, and Internal Storage (this will leave the phone with NO ROM installed)
Reboot back into recovery. Answer No to the prompt to root your device.
Once back in recovery, Internal Memory will be available again (if you push the ROM before rebooting, it will not be there afterward)
Push the ROM using adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip (this will take 5-7 minutes for a 1.4GB file)
Flash the ROM in TWRP
Reboot when done, phone should boot up corrrectly
Reboot into Fastboot, push firmware.zip package
Reboot into ROM verify connectivity
Reboot into Fastboot, push stock recovery
Reboot into stock recovery, perform a Factory Reset
Boot into ROM
Once you are up and running on the latest 4.4.2 ROM with stock recovery, boot into Fastboot one last time and push TWRP 2.6.3.4. Your S-Off will not be affected and the new owner will be able to flash any ROMs they like.
If all of the above fails, then try using ADB Sideload from the Advanced menu in TWRP.
You guys are a life saver. TWRP 2.6.3.4 did the trick, it just wasn't available on the TWRP site so I didn't install it in the first place. Flashed the ROM and everything back to normal! Thanks for the help!
FWIW, none of the m7 versions of TWRP would load (stuck at "Entering Bootloader" screen). The Sprint version would load, but wouldn't mount the filesystem properly.

So what state is the phone in now? Stock w/ HTC recovery, or the Sprint TWRP?

The former, stock. The Sprint TWRP loaded but didn't work right. I ended up finding 2.6.3.4 for VZW m7 on an xda thread, it's not on the TWRP site for some reason. That worked great.

Excellent. Glad to see it all worked out.
Help. I think I bricked my phone. I was running S3Rx 3.0 with JB4.3 on my T999 GS3. I attempted to update the rom to its latest version 3-20-14. I made a nandroid backup. I wiped cache and dalvik and then tried to install the zip file in TWRP, but it said install failed. I tried again with same failed results. I then did a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, data and system. I tried to flash the zip file and it failed again. So giving up on the failed update, I then restored my nandroid backup. After the restore was complete, I rebooted the phone and it got stuck at bootup with the Samsung logo and the blue LED light. I let it sit for over 15 minutes and it was still stuck there. I powered off the phone and went back into TWRP recovery and repeated the restore and reboot again, and it was stuck at that same part for over 15 minutes. Should it take that long? I've done backups and restores in the past and I don't recall it having take that long to bootup.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more explanation. Thanks in advance.
Try using odin to update the recovery system and flashing a rom.

It's been a long while since I used odin. I want to get the steps right before I risk further damaging my phone. Should I download odin and latest TWRP tar file to my pc. Put my phone into download mode and go thru the odin process...run as admin, placing tar file in pda... Then do I reboot into recovery mode? From there I'm not sure what to do. How do I flash a rom to my phone? Do or can I download a zip file via odin? One other option I thought of is to odin root66. So am I actually downloading 2 files via odin? Sorry for my confusion.
Ok, so I odined root66. My phone initially booted up to stock, but I got a pop up "unfortunately system ui has stopped". I went to recovery mode to do a factory reset. It took me to android system recovery. Apparently i lost my TWRP recovery. I did a factory reset and rebooted. Hallelujah!! my phone booted up into stock successfully. Whew...
Cool.
Sorry I couldnt respond earlier, I just woke up.
I always keep copies of odin flashable packages for the latest cwm and twrp recoveries just in case some craziness happens.
Ive had a similar issue when dualbooting. Recovery seemed to work 100% but one bad flash sent me into a bootloop I couldnt get out of. Booting to recovery just tried booting my corrupt 2nd rom and I had to odin cwm on to stop the boot script from locking me out of recovery.

All part of the hazards of tinkering with the phone. It goes with the territory. But as long as I can get into download or recovery mode I believe there's always a fighting chance.
Separately I reinstalled TWRP via odin. Next will be to reflash the custom rom.
Hi guys! I have a problem. I had paranoid android as rom and it worked great! Some days ago while i was using Facebook app there was an overloading of memory (i think) and there was the reset of the Nexus. From that moment the cellphone is in bootloop. I can access in the recovery (CWM). I tried some methods:
1)in recovery mode i tried to wipe everything but nothing
2) i used nexus root toolkit but nothing... also enabling the option softbrick/bootloop
3)using gnex toolkit... the same
4)using Odin too but nothing to do
What can i do ??
Thanks
PS: all these methods that i tried seem to work but when i turn on the phone it is always in bootloop -.-
try flashing the system in recovery or in fastboot mode?

I tried both without good results i think it is bricked...
Same problem here
Am facing the same problem here.
Was on cm11 and one fine day without any issues got into a boot loop. My phone is encrypted, so during boot, it asks the password and even logs into the phone, but within 5 seconds, it goes into a reboot.
Tried almost everything i could find.
erasing/formatting from fastboot - shows success but logs into cm11 again with bootloop
Trying to flash stock - everything shows success but still back to cm11 when rebooted
trying to format mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 from recovery- still nothing
flashing through odin - no change.
The crazy part is, everywhere it shows success and when it finally boots system, its booting cm11 and asks for password to decrypt data. And after booting goes into a reboot.
The only place i see any failure is when trying to format /data from twrp. It says its not able to mount the partition.
Any pointers anybody? Can't think of anything else which i can do to fix this issue. :crying:
I had same probleme after install lollilop rom:
[ROM][5.0.1/LRX22C][AOSP] AOSP Lollipop: a wee better than stock.
1 day use and bootloops, everything i do seems ok but it always bootloop without changes !!!
1)in recovery mode i tried to wipe everything but nothing
2) i used nexus root toolkit but nothing... also enabling the option softbrick/bootloop
3)using gnex toolkit... the same
4)using Odin too but nothing to do
If anyone get a solution ?
I had same probleme
I had same probleme after install lollilop rom FML-AOSP-5.0-20141207 Recovery: CWM V6.0.5.1
I've tried everything from wiping erasing and reflashing & reflashing data, wiping cache, davlik cache, system, internal storage. I did the factory reset in CWM recovery to wugfresh toolkit's "flash stock+unroot" with odin mode All finished successfully according to fastboot , recovery , odin but a reboot showed the system in the same state as before.
Hi, i have an I9195 and a huge problem.
Until recharge in the night, the phone shutdown for any reason.
I had flashed Cynagenmod 12.1 on it, so i have CWM Recovery. After it doesnt started and hang in the startscreen of Cynagenmod(the blue Alien or whatever it is ), i entered Rcovery mode and tried to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache. Nothing happened and when i started Recovery i also got and Error:
Can't mount /cache/recovery..
I tried to format the cache and wipe it, but anything helps.
So i decided to go back to stock. i downloaded the stock rom and flashed it threw odin. But when i entered Recovery, the CWM Recovery is still there. This shouldn't, because the stock rom flashes his own recovery, didn't she? But well, i tried to start the Phone but hang in a bootloop. I only see the Samsung logo, then it restarts after a while. I think because i couldnt wipe the cache.
But well, so i thought about to flash TWRP Recovery. But well, get trolled by odin and my phone again, still enters the CWM recovery. When i flashed threw odin, no error occured and all flashes ended with success.
What can i do now?
