You can't mount anymore in recovery yet. I would go into download mode flash cwm and restore your backup that way

Flash the clockwork prerooted kernal, download the stock recovery files and flash in clockwork recovery.

Try flashing zedomax v3 kernel with odin and see what happens. Or if you have cwm recovery download a rom wipe cache and flash it.
can i just flash the rom like on the evo from the sd card??? in clockwork mod??
i put a rom on my memory card but when i go to clock work mod it is not there......
help please

I am stuck in a perpetual loop of moving threads to Q&A! What should I do?
Oh - yeah - move to Q&A. Silly me.
I think if I'm not mistaking you have to put the rom in your internal memory NOT the sd card. Try that
how can i put in on the internal memory if it's stuck in boot loop???
Can u go into recovery? Of so go into recovery then USB mode
ok i am at the clock work mod recovery screen now what do i do???
ok put it in usb mode but the computer is not even recognizing that's it's connected
i will never flash or root my phone again this is ridiculous.
Do u have the drivers installed? Make sure the drivers are installed, or try a different wire
phew even though i had done it before i flashed the stock kernel waited and i'll be darn if it didn't boot up.....
cool. next step: click the thanks button a few times for the kind soul (aaron130) who patiently stuck with you as you worked it out
Good glad your back up and running. I know the feeling u had and it SUCKS

just wondering how I go about updating to new rom that just came out for a100 by these guys.
tried update.zip method but did not work. got an android with a exclamation mark while trying to flash.
edit: also how do i tell what recovery I have?
i followed these steps

just do a full wipe and flash through cwm.
Personally, I don't like it. The gains aren't worth what you sacrifice

what do you lose?
not much aside from the acer ring, whenever you rotate you get a black flash. it's a bit irritating and you don't get much as it is incomplete

thanks and got it flashed on there now!
EDIT: Obviously I am an Idiot.... I flashed this recovery and now I am not sure how to get to the recovery to make a nandroid backup and whatnot. i tried t backup using ROM manager and got the android with exclamation on boot. and I also tried to bring up recovery by holding the volume up while booting and all it did was try to update and fail.
I just need a little bit more detail in getting this and once I get this squared away I swear I will be good to go for now on. Also I appreciate your alls patience and helpfulness!
edit 2: found recovery. hit home key after red android thing. shows Android system recovery<3e>. is this correct? nothing in the options there allow me to backup nandroid.

use adb to transfer a rom to your sdcard and flash in cwm..
You can also adb sideload a rom or use fastboot to go to stock.

He has to go through fastboot to get to recovery.
Also, is the huge ass signature image on every post really necessary?

so when you reboot your device it goes back to downloading mode directly???
becasue when i try same thing like you .. my phone was rebooting but it got stuck on the Samsung Logo.
what i know is ... you can you Volume up + home button+on.off button to go to recovery mode
so when you press all 3 together and see Samsung Galaxy on device .. release them... and it will go to recovery mode...
for me it works like that.
i am newbie to Android... so i am telling you this from my personal information.
give it a try if you feel like
thanks

Well you can only get into download mode. So you need to install a custom recovery using odine. CWM is short for clockwork mod recovery. Find a how to and install cwm using odine.
Another custom recovery is TWRP. I like using TWRP. Has a nice touch interface.

If you have a computer download a Rom of your liking then install meaning find the file on your sd card then flash it? I recommend something close to the stock Rom then try new ones btw make a back up of your stock rom!!!!!! P.s. Look at YouTube for tutorials on how to?

To be more clear.
You said you can't boot into recovery. You can only boot into download mode. What download mode means is that you have to install cwm from a computer using odine. You connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable. Boot your phone into download mode. Open odine on your PC select the cwm odine file and push it to your phone. Disconnect your phone from your pc. Then you can put a ROM on your exSDcard and boot into recover and install the ROM.
Do a search on xda on how to install cwm using odine. I'm not going to write how to do it here cause you can search and do it your self. Good luck

If you still have access to your custom recovery then go to freeza's thread and download one of his Stock ROMs.

how would i put that on my sd card tho?
Take your sd card out and put it in a micro SD to SD adapter if your computer has a SD slot. B. Use another phone and put your SD card in that. C. Rule of thumb always make backup and if you did just go to restore and restore your saved ROM. D. Use Odin and restore that way YouTube a Qbking video about flashing threw Odin.

What is the version of CWM you are using?
Have you tried flashing a new or different recovery, like TWRP maybe?
What is the exact process you are using when the installation fails?
Go here and download TWRP 2.4.4.0 & CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 - place them on your external sd card via the above described method/s then try flashing the CWM recovery and then rebooting to recovery. Now try flashing a Stock ROM (make sure you're checking the MD5 to verify a good download) if that doesn't work then try the TWRP recovery, etc...

Try holding Volume Down, home, and the Power buttons. This will get you into download mode. Then Odin a stock TAR file using a method displayed in QBKing77's videos. Search around, you'll find something. If you're still unable to find anything after a while, give me about an hour and I'll help. Good luck!
