stuck in recovery now what?

I updated clockworkmod recovery through rom manager. Rom manager said the install was successful. So then I boot into the recovery to flash the cyanogenmod 10 preview build. I do all my wipes data, cash, exe. Then I go to install the rom and I realize now with the new recovery I can’t install/restore anything from /extsdcard (external storage). It only has the option to install/restore from /sdcard (internal storeage) which would be fine except all my roms/backups are on my micro sdcard (external storage). I have already wiped everything so now I can’t boot my phone to fix it. Is there a way to install the old recovery after I have wiped everything. I was thinking about using Odin to flash the old recovery in download mode again (like I did when rooting) but I am not sure if this is ok to do. I tried mounting the internal storage to my pc to copy the files I need from my computer to my phone. When I plugged it in the box in the bottom right popped up and said installing drivers and they were successful but when I try mounting (anything) the computer does not recognize it. So I can’t transfer the files. Would someone who knows more than me give some advice please?

While youre in recovery, can you mount through the mounts and storage option? Im not on the recovery you are talking about but if you can mount it you can throw the rom on that way. If you cant do that you should be able to just boot up the rom thats currently on it and mount it that way. Just because you wiped everything doesnt mean that it wont boot up, it just cleared all of the data. It should load up with your previous rom.

Thank you very much. It gave me more insight on what was going on. I have my phone back up and working. I was able to flash the old recovery with odin and i hope this information will help someone else in future as well.

[Q] HTC One X SD completely wiped clean

Hello all,
I unlocked my phone and rooted it. I tried to instal miui ROM, succesful but my phone got stuck at the HTC intro screen. Eventually, nothing worked like whiping cache etc. So i completely recovered my phone from backup (clockwork) from before unlocking and rooting. NOTHING, it just kept hanging at the HTC intro screen. After that i could not find any solutions online and i completely formatted the SD out of despare
Now everything is gone, backup and folders on the SD, EVERYTHING.
I can still go to the HBOOT menu and Recovery menu. My computer does find HTC device.
Can anybody help??

hi
use this, will work 100 %

Enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as an usb mass storage device, copy the rom.zip to the phone and copy the boot.img file from inside the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on the pc. Then you put the phone in the bootloader and flash the boot.img file with fastboot commands, enter recovery and perform a full wipe (except sdcard ofcourse) ....wipe data,system,cache,dalvik cache !
Then install the rom.zip and reboot

If u can go to recovery, use mount usb storage to connect to pc and put your custom rom in sd. Unmount and put in bootloader and flash the boot.img first and then go to recovery again and flash your rom.

Talking about help !

[Q] Sd card issue (CM 10)

Hello folks,
Recently I have flashed CM 10 via CWM 6.0.3.2 on my Samsung Galaxy W. (I followed this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795)
Everything worked out fine (yay) exept for two issues I have:
1. My SGW doesn't recognize my Sd card (internal) at all. (though internal is mounted in cwm menu)
I have several folders regarding my sd and external sd:
- sdcard> tells me it is "unplugged" (in German> translation might differ) when I enter via file manager
- mnt/sdcard> here it tells me my sd card is unplugged as always
- storage/sdcard0> unplugged
- external_sd> it tells me sd card unplugged if I enter
- mnt/external_sd >here I can enter all of my folders
- storage/sdcard1> here I can enter again
2. My SGW can't mount my external sd anymore. I can clearly enter my external sd's files, but apparently I cannot mount my PC. Especially not with Multimount because it requests me to mount my internal sd (issue 1).
So how do I get it to work properly? - is it possible to do it via Terminal Emulator?
Specifications:
- Samsung Galaxy W
- Android Version 4.1.2.
- Kernel Version: 3.0.80-cyanogenmod-gc689589
[email protected] #1
- Cyanogenmod Version: 10-20130605- UNOFFICIAL-ancora
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, I have similar issues with internal storage after flashing to 4.2.2 and also 4.1.2. Model is galaxy W previously 2.3.6 stock.
At root, i have
/data, which seems to be my internal storage as the FX file explorer show it has a storage of 1.07gb
/external_sd, which contains my files in micro sd card
/sdcard, which ES say SDCard unmounted
/storage, which contains sdcard0 (SDCard unmounted), sdcard1 (micro sd), usbdisk (SDCard unmounted)
In the andriod settings > storage, I can see internal storage with total space 1.07gb, but unable to mount it.
My camera and gallery says "No external storage available".
What should I do? Please help

This can be done for the SDcard you can unplug and plug directly to an other device like an PC, but not with the internal.
So better try the following. Secure your files if you can. Reboot into recovery and format there both. Rebooot into CM10 or whatever ROM you are using and change your USB operation mode from MTP to Mass Storage.

If The Internal Is The Problem Then You Must Back To The Main Software 2.x.x
Then Back To The Edited Mods And Rom's
The Internal Storage Will Work

You probably mean back to stock Samsung ROM. But how will this fix corrupted partitions? And why "must" if there are probably more simple ways to fix it rather than flashing roms forth and back?
First of all he should format both and switch to Mass Storage mode to see if this fixes his issue. Flashing ROMs still can be tryied as a last resort.

I think you are mixing something up. First of all he didn´t say he can´t mount / access it from CWM Recovery but from a running ROM. This is two different things so it still should be possible to access both in CWM Recovery and to do a format.
Secound. Flashing a ROM will not format the internal Storage but only the partition where the ROM will be flashed to. They are not the same, so this is also two different things. So even if you flash a ROM but are having corrupted SDcards (Internal and external) they will stay corrupted till you fix this.
And this is why I suggested to first boot into RECOVERY, format both and finally after rebooting change to Mass Storage as the MTP Mode is not always working very well. If this doesn´t help he still can flash back to stock ROM.
However now I´m just repeating what I already said before. If you can´t get it, then I´m sorry for you.

TWRP or CWM wont see roms

I had a complete disaster and lost everything. I have mounted the sd as usb storage and put a rom onto it but neither TWRP or CWm will see them .
Sideload fails in TWRP and every time I try to push i get an error telling me that /data/media/ is a directory ..please anyone got any ideas ? I cant RUU as im on H3g and there isnt a JB one released

Mount the sdcard, copy the rom.zip to the root of the sdcard. Reboot the recovery and install the rom.

Thanks but as I said in the post I had done that but TWRP and CWM would not see the ROM's. .
It turned out to be the file system on the sd card. I formatted it to fat32 and the recoveries then saw the ROM's .

Ah check. Well i had a similar issue a while back. Copied the rom and tried to install, also not visible. Rebooted the recovery once and that probably rescanned the sdcard
But good that its solved :thumbup:

[Q] Need ADB sideload

Hello.
I have problem with my phone, i format all memory, and now i have no recovery or any rom to flash it,from what i know and read, only option for me is ADB sideload rom to phone, cause like now i can only go in fastboot, flash new recovery, that it.
The problem is, i think only twrp have ADB sideload function, and .......i can't use it, touch don't work in twrp, volume up/down also do nothing. is there any other method to put rom on card in phone ? Also i can't connect phone to my pc, for some reasons computer don't see my phone, i'm able to flash new recovery through cmd, but can't make pc to see phone as usb mass storage. So now i stuck. anyone have something similar ? And figure out how to put rom in memory card ?

How in the World you managed to do so???
Erasing recovery???
Well, I never used ADB push. The easiest way is to flash Philz recovery again, mount sd card and copy the ROM.zip to sd card.

And why double posting problems. Old thread is only 3 days old
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582565
Flash this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And do whats been told. Mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu. Wait a couple of minutes (yes literally minutes) it will pop up !
And if you did search the twrp thread (touch not working) you would have found the repacked 2.4.0.0 -JB twrp recovery. It's been discussed there many......many times !

i can't do it cause in recovery i can't mount phone as storage so i can't put rom on it. having only recovery give me nothing if i'm not able put rom in phone. if problem will be only recovery, then i wouldn't bother you guys. my main problem is that pc don't see phone, all drivers are installed, yet nothing works.

i try viper, cm11,project x revolution, always had error 7
i put rom on sd card in phone, flash boot img, shut down, disconnect cable, boot in recovery, wipe and stuff, install rom, error 7, i never disconnect cable during installation, i even don't touch phone more than i need to.

Its the recovery i guess. Have you tried this.....rom is now on the phone so that problem is done. Flash the 5.15 recovery and install the rom.zip.......spit out ideas and thinking out loud.....these are all things to test.
