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.

So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.

Did you use the Mounts menu to try to manually mount the sd?
Also, Which method did you use to get into CWM?

Ya i went into the menus and manually unmounted and then remounted the SD card but that didn't do anything. I used the typical three finger method to boot into CWM like i always do.
i think
I believe this has something to do with the way in which the SD card is formatted I also cannot mount in to usb storage in CWM i get an E: error
Have you guys tried to "Reboot recovery" from the "Adavnced" menu in CWM, and then try to flash the ROM?
I've had this happen before, it was a formatting problem. The easiest fix I found was to back up SD-card data on your pc, reformat the card from the Android system, then copy your data back over. CWM should be able to mount your card now.
I had a problem with the mount dropping mid flash it was my sd for some reason was chipped I always keep backup files

Just flash another version of CWM and u'r done. I faced this problem after flashing Siyah Kernel v2.3 which includes CWM 5.0, and I tried all the methods online; formatting, error-checking, etc... nothing succeed!
Finally I flashed another kernel (Which includes CWM 4.0) and it worked fine.
Thanks!
Same thing happened to me just now... found this thread.. pushed new CWM in ODIN - Worked like a charm.. Fixed in 2 minutes..
Flashing another CWM (ACS recovery this time...) via Odin did not fix the issue. Going to try the format /sdcard fix and see... argh!
*Edit* aaaand that didn't work either. WTF... I literally just got this phone 2 hours ago... brand new.
delete the .androidsecure folder on your sd that worked for me formatting wont work if you put your files on the same with me because i always copied that folder along too
I tried to install starburst rom on my brand new epic 4g touch. I wiped the cache and system and everything and saved the zip file on my external sd card but when i went to flash it in clockwork it is not there. I am thinking that it is only showing the internal storage. Is there any way to access my external data form clockwork?!
Is it in advanced ยป mounts?
Sry for thr un definite answer
Its been a while since i rooted

unfortunately no. before this phone i had the lg optimus s so im not used to the whole two sd cards thing. Had i known it would be like this i would have made a backup before wiping. If anyone else has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Please dont be a brick!!!! lol

Your best bet is to run a tar file thru Odin and then place the zip on your internal. Basically I am saying flash another rom thru odin and start over
Edit
Also always do a backup!

Flash the stock eg30 tar through odin. A phone is not a brick if u can get into recovery/download mode.

Should be an option to mount USB storage in CWM so you can copy files directly from your computer to the internal SD
depending on which version of clockwork your running.
for me going to mounts and storage menu and selecting mount /sdcard worked.
Would any of you happen to know then where i might be able to get a .tar of starburst ive been searching to no avail hoping that my phone isnt an expensive paper weight
My problem is that I already wiped the system data and dalvic cache thinking i would be able to flash the rom so there is nothing for the phone to boot into.
What they're saying is to boot into download mode and flash a full stock ROM via Odin so that you can transfer the file to your internal storage. Its an extra step but shouldn't take much more than 1/2 hour.
Upgrade to CWM 5.0.2.3 and you'll get the option to install zip from internal/external media.
i accidentally wiped my internal storage while flashing jellybomb i am in twrp but have nothing to boot to how can i load a rom to boot to
Use Odin and download mode if you don't have a ROM on your external SD card to flash. I always keep a few different ROMs on my external in case something goes wrong which I have had happen before. You have to flash a tar file using Odin not a zip of a ROM

TWRP should give you option to mount as USB Storage, Can load rom onto your SD, Unmount, flash, and get moving again.
I need help bad. if this isn't the right area by all means tell me where to post or move it and tell me where it is. thank you. What happened is i wiped system/data/dalvik and was on my way in recovery to install darkstalker rom but there was lag in the touch screen and before i knew it it was unresponsive. what happened next is whats killing me while it wasnt responding and i was hitting keys i must have told it to format my sdcard. now i have no rom to install!! i can get in recovery fine but theres no rom to install anymore. can i adb push a rom while IN recovery? what are my options. I am really in a lot of trouble and this is just barely over my head im not new to flashing but i always had something in recovery to flash im not so good with adb etc.. i am trying adb push file.zip file.zip etc but its saying device not found. thank you for any help.

Yes you did put this question in the wrong section.
As for your problem. Download the ROM to your PC copy to your SD put sd card in the phone boot to recovery... Flash ROM.........

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. ...

ok thanks
can you be more specific how do i mount internal sdcard in twrp 2.6.37 theres mount> system / data/ cache / microsd card / or usb storage but the last two dont allow me to tick them. i need to do it this way if im going to get this done tonite without an sdcard thanks for your 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?
