My epic 4g touch is doing bootloop in the 4g screen. Need help. any ideals how to recover this. I tried flashing rom but clockwork sees no files in external sd card. Plus, how do you transfter files to your internal sdcard in clockwork?Any help is appreciated. Thanks
When I had to recover from a bootloop I actually had to remove my sdcard, put the phone in download mode and reflash it. Flashing with a .tar on your SD card has caused many problems for me =/
As a rule, here is my emergency ROM evacuation plan:
1) Can I get to recovery? If so, I will simply wipe everything (factoryh reset) then reflash fresh.
2) If not, then just boot to download mode (power+volDown) and Odin over a clean kernel (most bootloop issues are going to be from a kernel issue)
3) If all that doesn't work, then flash a stock rom from scratch using Odin
It sounds like 1 is not an option to you. I don't think you can copy from sd to internal without mounting them on a pc and doing the copy on that side.
In any event, you are gonna need a PC.
HTH
You can put files on your SD card by enabling SD mount somewhere within cwm. However I would listen to that guy^
That is probably the best way to "abort" a ROM

Oh and I wanted to ask: what ROM did you install because SD mounting doesn't work with any of the AOSP ICS ROMs...

I have a year old evo 4G,had cm7 stable,nightlys,beta sense 3.5 rom's,and I deleted everything from phone and sd card,The sd seems like its not putting any new roms to the phone,It boots up to the htc evo 4g screen,then to the sense ''black screen that says' andriod' then just stays there..i go into recovery and install zip and phone says no such files found,bad sd card? Any new rooted stock sense roms to put in then build from there? I don't want the bloat crap,I must be able to remove it,phone has been rooted for a year using unevoked,s-off,Hboot-2.10.0001,Touch panel-atelc03_16ac,Radio-1.36.00.04.02,oct 15 2010...I really need to get this thing working again,boss is always calling me,and I don't want to get into a shouting match over my useless phone,not hat i care anyway... but any help would be helpful.. FYI,Last rom I was on was KINGS bliss and I did a factory reset on that rom,Stupid noobie....
If your on amon ra plug your phone into your computer and in recovery enable usb-ms toggle and then you will be able to put a ROM on your SD card

Do the same thing for clockwork but instead of usb-ms toggle go to mounts and then you will see a option that says usb mass storage

I'm doing this as of the moment.
Ok,got that right now,What's next? just go to yur rom dowloads,right? Maybe flash vr.superwipe before I proceed to a new rom? No go,Gets stuck at box with arrow to little andriod guy,Well what now should I toggle anything? Just choose apply zip?
On the computer download a ROM and then put the Rom onto the root of the SD card of the phone.then you will have a ROM to flash in recovery

Kings bliss rom worked for a day and half,no problems,I don't care about 4G,I live in the sticks,but after a while,It kept telling me andriod.process.acore whatever forcelosed,And the phone will not accept any downloaded roms now,from the regular computer I have,On the previous posts,It did work,the bliss rom,and with the app market,Now I'm right back at a blank phone again...hboot comes up,recovery comes up,But i download a rom,to sd card...Forget it,tells me no such files found now,Didn't do that before,or Am I missing the steps to load a rom to the phone?
I have a feeling this beta Kings bliss rom,screws evrything up,I know it's beta ,but....It worked good for me at first,till week later,WTF...
Are you just trying to reflash a ROM onto your phone or are you wanting to recover everything that you deleted from your SD card?
If you are wanting to recover the data you deleted from your SD card I recommend mounting the card to your computer via your recovery and then running file scavenger (free to download) to recover the deleted files.
after you recover your files with filescav then you can reformat the SD card, replace the contents of the card, and continue on your merry way without having to start over from scratch.
I'm trying to dowload a ROM to the sd card,I extracted files to sd card via recovery and micro sd adapter,Then I try to choose zip,apply and always says no such files,always says E-can't open sd/card/update.zip,Installation aborted...I tried 3 diff sd cards,even bought a brand new one with nothing on it,the files are there on the card but...Am I missing something here??? Always worked in the past.... And Yes,I'm trying to re-flash a diff ROM,I'm staying away from the KingsBliss Beta Rom till it gets striaghtened out...

Thank you,Concordium,I'm going to try this before drasitic measures has to be taken,but I did get everything back,to my suprize...This may work for me,!!! Naaa,Didn't do anything,It's telling me,"No sd-ext found...etc..Generating md5 sum....I will go on with your info,press on..I'm detirmined to fix this..Thank you for the help...
Ok,I backed up to the new cm7 rc1,got the phone going again,but what's with the sd-ext not found???
Nothing important from what I know its just if you were to partition ur sd card.. Also I can upload mikg amon_ra that u can flash via bootloader if you need it. I was getting amazing sd speeds with that recovery...
Really?I will try this,but I have to delete the 2.3.5 google stuff first,It kept rebooting on me after dowloading a app from the market,I just wanted to try it,This rom is my brand new back-up,No more stock evo rom anymore,I just want to get the sd-ext working again,Any gapps files floating around for 2.3.7?? For some reason,any file installs from sd,but phone tells me ist's empty,I will try the partition,I just want the sd cards I have working 100% again,I have 2GB worth of Roms to use on my computer,I just like flashing,I guess...But yeah I will research mikeg Armon-ra,where Do I look??I was thinking about it when I was figiuring how to get the evo going again...
Ok I took the plunge and installed CWM and Ardatdat Kernel. Thank you to both Ardatdat and utkanos for your wonderful work. Now I made a Nandroid backup of my phone and I have lots installed so it is big. It comes to 1.897.535.488 ok close to 2GB. Now It of course places this in the SDcard as it does not see my 32GB MicroSD card. Everything great so far.
Here is the question....
If I transfer this to my MicroSD to save room on the SDcard internal. If something goes wrong and I screw up on installing another rom and the phone does not boot, how do I get it from the MicroSD Card to the internal SDcard???
I am kinda stumped on that one. Only thing I can think of is before trying any new Rom make sure I transfer back those 2GB of Backup files to the SDcard.
Please any help on this would be appreciated.
Hey mate,
I've done the similar thing. It's a but weird having the mount point for the external sd card /within/ the mount point for the internal storage...
I thought that I had read that the mount points used in the CWM were configurable... But I'm not certain. I will have a read over some of their docos and see what I find..

I kept mine on the computer, so whenever I need to restore, it's right there.
How? Is it not only a CWM file? Can you use the nandroid backup files via ODIN? Because as I am saying, say your phone no longer boots and you need to replace the ROM and your nandroid backup is on your computer how do you place it on your phone's SD card to flash with CWM. (Assuming Odin does not work) If Odin Works then you just flash via ODIN and on the computer is fine.
Can you map to your External card via CWM?
See, I also have an HTC Desire HD for other purposes, and when I tried to put a new rom, it would be stuck at bootloop. There is this option in CMW Recovery that lets you still view the files on the computer (Mount), and exchange files. Then from there you navigate to where you put the backup via backup and restore, and boot it.
CWM should always be there with the Vol down + Power buttons, and you should be able to recover it.
It's my first time experiencing with Odin since I got this device, so I really don't know much about it.

Look in the CWM thread. Pretty sure it's possible, but it takes an editing/adding of code
Background Info:
Apparently the files that I used to root my phone weren't good. I get the normal Samsung message and then the Galaxy SIII screen and then it all goes black with a pulsating blue LED. I can still get into ClockWorkMod, but apparently my backup that was stored on the phone's internal memory was deleted. I have it on the external SD card as well and on my computer, but ClockWorkMod seems to only have the option to load it from the internal memory. When I connect the phone to my computer, it won't mount the internal and external SD cards, probably because the phone is still in USB debug mode.
My Question:
How do I load my backup files back onto the internal phone memory or how do I get ClockWorkMod to reload the backups from the external SD card?
Thank you for the help,
Adrian
When I go the Backup and Restore menu in ClockworkMod I see the option "Restore from external sdcard". Do you not have that option? I am using CWM v6.0.1.2.

I don't have that option. I have CWM version 5.5.0.4. Dang, I guess I got an old version. I'm pretty new at rooting. My options are:

advanced restore
backup to internal sdcard
restore from internal sdcard
advanced restore from internal sd card

Maybe, would you be able to walk me through that? As you can tell, I've only been doing this since last night. I've mostly been following how-to documents.
Or you could use Odin to load a newer version of clockworkmod. There is a thread in development with Odin loadable recoveries.

I'm trying to upgrade to the 6.0.1.2 download recovery that's listed here:
<world wide web dot> clockworkmod <dot> com/rommanager
(I'm too new to paste links apparently)
But I don't know how to get the clockworkmod into download mode. I tried opening odin, removing the SD card, holding the volume up and down keys and then plugging in the usb cable, but the phone just vibrates over and over and odin doesn't find the phone. Is this the correct sequence to get it into download mode? After that, I was going to follow along with this procedure to load clockworkmod the way I did in the past:
<word wide web dot> androidauthority <dot> /galaxy-s3-sph-l710-sprint-clockworkmod-recovery-99305/
Is this the correct procedure to use? I'm just trying to get this going tonight so that I will have a phone tomorrow and after it's working I can spend all the time in the world learning the details of how to do these things. Thank you for the help

To get to download mode... Ensure phone is completely powered down.
Hold power+home+ VOLUME DOWN. When screen turns on, Will give you a warning.. Press Volume Up to activate Download mode.. Now ensure odin is open, Plug in phone to computer.. Should get a Com5 or something pop up in Yellow. Success! phone is now ready to reflash!
Hope it helps!

i feel like my phone is falling apart. i cannot get a rom on there, i cant get it to reconize the external sd card, ive redownloed and installed the driver for my phone. nothing is working, and the problems its having are happening more frequent. never had this problem with any other flash
any recommendations?

Sounds like you got a really bad flash. You are in luck that it at least boots because you can at least
If all else fails I suggest you try ODIN flash stock rooted. Have you tried to get into download mode ? can you get into recovery ? I didn't see if you mentioned that.
Look for the stock rooted ROM in the root with out tripping the flash counter thread

did you try reinstalling the samsung drivers onto your pc? is your sd card readable in other devices or your pc? and i'm assuming you've tried mounting the sd card in settings/storage?
If you have a bad flash maybe you can go into goomanager or the xda app and download a new rom directly to your phone and flash it. Maybe that will help.

it's also depend on whether it's modified from TW and AOSP features or AOSP and add TW features

Well. I thought I was in luck, my wife has a s3 with kailisjr's wicked sensations rom. I grabbed her version, being the same phone, moved it to her ext sd, pit the sd into my phone, went to my file browser, moved it to my internal, went into recovery which is the latest team win. It saw it. I was soo happy. I wiped all neccessary things, went to flash wicked rom, failed to load, that's the only error. My wife's phone is the same as mine but blue. Now, stuck on samsung screen. In the midst of excitement that recovery saw the rom, I didn't make a back up
To answer the other post. I only used Odin a few times, and not really familiar with where and what to download. I am pretty good about flashing just with recovery. I can get into both down load and recovery. Just won't boot up now because of well...no rom. I did not try and mount the ext sd I thought that it would auto sense it. Will try that now.

it sounds like you didn't wipe cache, dalvik. go back in recovery and wipe them
and also flashing new rom might take some time for it to load, so be patient

Would it be a good idea to format internal memory? And I just now tried to select mount sd card, it wont let me select it

Ok so I went into recovery, it won't see the ext sd, I go to just try and factory wipe, cache and dalvik, it hangs in the cache wipe saying the path to the partition cannot be found.
And now the same for dalvik
Time for Odin it seems. Go to the "root with out triping flash counter" thread. Download odin 3.07 and the at&t stock 4.1.1 with root injected. Place in download mode. Makes sure its detected and flash it in the pda spot.
You could do a full wipe and erase data as well and see if it lets you flash a ROM then. Another possibility

so let me get this straight
you flashed galaxy mod,
it wouldn't let you read ext sd card correct? (if so you needed to format it, it seems like it is running off AOSP and aosp doesn't support exfat on ext sd)
and now you're trying to flash wicked rom, but it wouldn't let you install?
if so it is either bad file or outdated recovery.
and if you're stuck on samsung screen, if wipe dalvik and cache partition + factory reset don't work
Odin back to Stock Rom
and start root, flash rom again

Well. I'm going to give Odin a shot then, well report back right afterword.
I hate having to mention Odin back to stock but sometimes a clean slate is best.

it's also depend on whether it's modified from TW and AOSP features or AOSP and add TW features
depend on one another, the rom might or might not support the format of the external sd
