Hey,
Had this phone since about 2 weeks after release, rooted and unlocked bootloader as soon as I got it.
I recently changed to TWRP, from CWRM, and wiped all data (including system & SD) as I was having sd errors with the camera.
Now my computer wont recognise it....for simple file transfer to internal SD. So it still has recovery software, but i need to get a rom to the SD. Tried Flashtool (back from my x10mini pro days) and I'm stuck.
USB mount doesn't help from TWRP.
Any help would be awesome!! I'm so rusty....things were hard with the x10mini pro, but have been so easy for ages with the Xperia S (because of great work from the devs) that I dont know how to solve this one.
Pls help me out

Hi guys
Really need some help. I have somehow broken my phone.
The phone is S-Off and had been working fine for months on various different roms.
Today, I did a nandroid back up through clockwork and then upon reboot all my apps were missing. It soon became clear that the phone could no longer read the SD card
In recovery I can not restore etc as it says it cannot mount the SD card.
I stupidly wiped the system so now I can not boot at all. I can still get to recovery though.
Is there any way I can fix this and get the phone functioning again or is it completely dead?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

Alright, I have a T-Mobile LG G3 and I rooted it and installed the Skydragon ROM. Everything was working and I accidentally wiped my ROM. This deleted everything from my internal storage except TERP. I then downloaded the skydragon rom zip file onto and external SD card using a different G3. I them put the ext card into my G3 and used TWRP to install that file. It ran through the setup procedure and shows that is successfully installed. The problem is that the phone always boots to TWRP and won't go any further. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Youll need to flash the phone to untoched stock using LGs flash tool. Youll find the files and instructions on the tmobile lg g3 general forum. I ran into the same problem.
I saw that tool and unfortunately the phone hard bricked when I was trying to flash a rom from an external sd card. It will not boot at all, it is like it has no power. I tried to charge the phone but it was a no go. The led light won't even come on. I took the phone to t mobile, it is 2 days old, and they replaced it free of charge. I got real lucky on this one!

I used LG Flash Tool because my G3 was softbricked but everythis was ok then rooted and flashed zone rom.
Hello,
I have an HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) that I had a friend root (he has a PC, I have a Mac, plus he's done it before) and all was going well until I installed a rooted app (I think it was Super SU or something) and my phone went into a boot loop, showing nothing but the HTC logo when I tried to turn it on. I panicked, even though it wasn't the end of the world, as I had just bought this phone from a classifieds source and had no personal info/pictures/contacts/anything on it yet.
However, I am still stuck with a soft bricked phone. My friend suggested going into recovery mode and rebooting (see attached picture) but it didn't help. Then he tried side-loading a ROM onto the device, but his computer (both of them, PCs, and even his brother's PC for good measure) didn't show it recognized the phone anywhere in the file system. And he said he looked EVERYWHERE and tried everything. Then he tried downloading HTC's own proprietary system for installing a custom ROM (I forget what it's called) but his PC wouldn't recognize it, so he couldn't use it either). He all but gave up on trying to restore my phone to how it was after he ran into the last of these problems.
I, however, refuse to believe that with the wealth of knowledge at my disposal via the internet that there is no way to fix this, even though I have a Mac. Is there ANYONE who's patient and Terminal-savvy that can help me get my M8 back to normal working condition? I don't even care about rooting it anymore. Thanks in advance for your instructions/suggestions.
I would just go into TWRP and mount the internal storage as usb, copy a ROM to the phone, umount internal storage and do a full wipe and install the ROM.
Do you want Stock, modified stock, CM??, GPE? you just need to figure out which version of ROM you want.
I think I already tried this...
I was just trying to install the stock firmware via a micro USB but the phone wouldn't recognize it on the micro USB stick in TWRP, is there a reason for this? As I'm assuming a restore to stock firmware is impossible if it can't recognize or read the firmware I'm trying to restore it to. Thank you
Hello? Anyone?
I think I might have totally broken my Note 2 and I've got no idea what to do next for the best.
Long story short, I can boot my phone into TWRP but apart from that I believe the phone is wiped. TWRP for some reason won't mount an SD Card so I cannot install a new Rom from there (which is what I would normally do). TWRP is also reporting that my phone is no longer rooted. It asks if I want to install SuperSU but this fails also.
I cant mount anything via USB-OTG either and cannot get my PC (windows 8) to see the phone either, even though I am sure it is detecting it.
Anyone got any ideas on what I should try next?

if you can enter download mode, then flash rom using Odin.
See in settings of recovery what you have mounted.
You can also reflash recovery, root and flash rom to make sure it's well set up
I need some serious help here! I own a sim unlocked i317 (I bought it second hand and it was already unlocked-1 year back). It was working fine (except it used to get restarted itelf 4-5 times a day since past month) and then last night after completing charging it was working fine and I slept then. When I woke up, to my horror, the phone was stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. I tried after removing SIM and mSD, and then restarting it but to no avail!
So the phone is stuck in Bootloop, it had latest jellybean rom from AT&T that had been sim unlocked. Recovery menu shows Philz Touch 6 with some errors like:
"Can't mount system/recovery"
"Cant load system/command" etc.
I am here seeking help in retrieving my stuff on internal memory and, if possible, all app and phone data before I try a factory reset or install fresh rom!
Any kind of help would be highly appreciated! Thank You!
PS: I'm not a proper programmer as my field is DBMS, but since I have basic know how of programming, I would manage to try your suggestions!
ok this should be a fairly easy fix. I would stop using Philz recovery as a first step. You should be able to flash the newest version of TWRP without losing any internal data or storage. go here to get twrp and flash in ODIN. https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote2att.html
Once you have this one your device boot into recovery and you can use the file manager to move and folders you want to save to an external Sd card. You may also be able to get a computer to recognize the device and copy your files that way.
