Yes I thought of that luckily my gf has the same exact phone so ill do it that way but I havent purchased an sd card yet. Ill have to buy one tomorrow. Thanks. Theres no way to upload it using adb?

Either Mount internal sd in recovery and hookup to your commuter and put the rom on the card. .. Then you could flash. ... Or get a mini sd and put a rom on it and insert it in your phone. ...

No reboot and Recovery fails because SDCard is empty

Ok so... I am officially dumb :/ I just had my brother ask me to restore his phone back to stock (It was rooted) and when I went to the normal restore menu in the phone's settings accidentally ticked "Clear SDCard" or something similar. I am now stuck in a bootloop and the phone cannot mount whatsoever to use recovery, i can access CM but cannot use any type of restores. When I use the built in menu option to use the phone as a storage device I can see that the SDCard is TOTALLY empty. Honestly I have no idea what to do from here besides chuck it at a wall and hand him $200... If any of you can help it would really help me and I would greatly appreciate it! Hell I'll even toss $10 over paypal if you can help!!
I think I need to get a full backup of the incredible's SDCard contents then manually place it back onto the SDCard... Anyone wanna zip it all up and upload it lol?
And yes. I am serious about that $10 paypal...

If you can get into CM, just go into Rom Manager and flash a recovery. Then you just put the zip of the rom you want on the SD card, reboot into recovery, and flash.
Are you saying that the SD isn't mounting properly?

MTCW. After you get your phone back up and running, it is a really good idea to do this:
1. Back up your stock rom after rooting.
2. Rename that backup to something like this:
STOCK ROM_NO-DELETE
3. Connect your phone to your computer via usb cable.
4. Copy your backup to your computer, just in case you wipe out your sd card
and need to do an emergency restore.
5. In the unfortunate case that #4 happens, you now have a copy of your stock
rom to move back to your sd card to flash.
I know this doesn't solve your current issue, but in the future, this can make your life in the flashing world a lot less stressful.

That would be great... but I cant get the phone to boot up.. nor can I make the SD mount to be able to use any CM recovery or restore features. I can use it as a mass storage device and thats it.
If you can plug in / access the sd card from your computer, make sure it is formatted FAT32, then use BrettApple's suggestion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13742769&postcount=3
theres an option under advanced in CWM that will allow you to sync with your computer. i think its called mount SD and that will allow you to put a rom then just flash that and you are good

[Q] Help please. Everything wiped....

I was using boot manager to install a rom and I accidently wiped system and the rom didn't flash properly. Now I'm stuck in fastboot and can't mount my usb to transfer a rom to get back into my phone. All it does is power down or reboot into fastboot. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Searching for you... really hope we can get your phone working again
So you can not boot into recovery at all?
If you hold power plus volume down can you get to the bootloader?
have you removed your SD card & used a card reader?

Was just going to suggest that. I had a similar thing happen, and I just popped the SD card out, copied a ROM to it and then booted to hboot (vol down and power on) and selected recovery there. I then could re-wipe and flash the new rom.

If he can't get it to boot into recovery he'll have to try flashing a rom or new recovery in a pc36img.zip.
Thanks for the replies...I really appreciate the help. I can power down and get into the bootloader, but I can't choose recovery to get to my backups. It just loops to fast boot. When I click bootloader it tries to scan the pc36img, but fails...I'm guessing that it got erased. I don't have a card reader, but that's a good idea. I'll got to the store and pick one up and see if I can transfer the files I need to get my phone back on. I'll post back and let you guys know what happens. Thanks again for the help so far.
You just need to put the recovery file on the root of the sd card. Not everything until you see if it got erased.

Just bought the sd card reader and loaded back the recovery file. Looks like all my files on the sd card are still intact. I tried flashing HybridBeta.5...it flashed but kept going back to recovery when I tried to reboot. I'm gonna recover one of my backups and see how that works. Brb...
Once you flash into Recovery
Go to:
- Install zip from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
- Scroll down to BootManager folder
- Select phoneRom and then click update.zip to get Phone Rom back
I have also flashed update.zip files from within rom1-4 when they were known good working installs and had them work as well.

Formatted SD / Internal Memory

Hey guys , seeking help from the pros here.
I tried to install a new rom yesterday and mistakenly hit the format SD option instead of format System to clean phone before installing a new Rom. Now my problem is my internal memory has no files now, when going in cwm and trying to install rom from internal memory it says there are no files.
So i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can flash files back into the phone, i tried Odin and some of the flash stock rom guides here but i boot loop and it removed my cwm, so when i go into recovery i actually go into androids stock recovery mode. I have tried to flash cwm again and that seems to work but still no files in the phone. Help.

You should be able to mount sd card from recovery. Choose that option in advanced. I use twrp now and it's a bit easier to use than com. Once you mount the sd card find it on your computer move the rom zip there. Now unmount the sd and flash away.

Twrp seems easier to use and it has big buttons with the touch screen.
If you have an external sd put the rom on it from your pc. Then select external sd from twrp by touching it where it says internal and select external. Now flash a custom rom.

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.

[Q] I have deleted the OS with cwm recovery and dont know how to get the OS back help

HELP!!!
I was trying to get all the files that are useless of off my sd card so i formated it in clockworkmod recovery and did not realize that i just deleted everything on the sdcard. And since i was just so clueless i went ahead and formated everything else that i could and then when i tried to reboot my device it takes me straight to the hboot menu. Is there any way i can get my OS back on to my device, i don't care about my files i just want the main OS back so i can use the phone again. And if you need any extra information please just ask in the comments and i will give you any info i can.
Thank You
If you can get to your recovery, go there. Then flash your ROM of choice.
how?

From the bootloader, choose recovery. If that is not an option, choose either fastboot or bootloader (whichever one is there), then choose recovery. If you don't have a ROM zip on your sdcard, mount the usb storage on your computer. Download the ROM zip on your pc, then place it on your sdcard. Unmount, then follow the instructions in the OP of your ROM thread, namely by flashing the zip. Then reboot into your new ROM.
i have clockworkmod recovery but im not sure how to flash the ROM because my sdcard has problems when i try to put files onto it.

If you have a bad sdcard, you can either transfer them to the internal 8gb memory (not sure, it's been awhile since I've messed with my inc), or you should really just get a new sdcard. You don't want a bad sdcard to start filling up with possibly corrupt app data and mess up the ROM.
i cant mount my sdcard with cwm recovery i can still get the device to connect to adb and fastboot

Note that internal 8gb memory does not mean the sdcard. Also, I'm not saying you can do this, because I can't remember. But if your sdcard is bad, you should replace it.
how do i know if the sdcard is bad though?
and how do i use the internal storage?
