So last night I was running Starburst Rom and decided that I wanted to theme it, so I downloaded the theme I liked for it, flash it in recover, but when I reboot the system it kept boot looping. So I figured that I needed to format it, so I went back into recovery and used Caulkins Format All zip, flashed it, then flashed the theme again. OUCH this time my phone would just show the yellow triangle and Samsung logo ( start up page). I can still go back to recovery but all my other Roms are gone so I cant even restore my phone or anything! What can I do? I used Heimdall to root, can I go back and re root again? Would I still get the stock rom? HELP
Download a rom onto an sd card and flash it from recovery. Format all wipes your entire system, you use format all to have a clean slate before you flash a new rom. You have no os now.
Edit: You could also flash the stock .tar they just put up in the development section, just make sure you read the instructions first or you could hardbrick.

You don't. You download it to a pc or mac and then transfer it to a micro sd card and then put the card in the phone and flash the Rom from recovery.

Your going to need a computer at some point if you've lost root. You can at least get the phone working again though.

I have a computer, and I can dowload a rom into it, no problem, my issue is that I cant get this on my SD card due to me not being able to mount the phone in recovery. I tried and it wont. So my solution would be to go to a friends house that has an Android, download a ROM into their phone with my SD card then go back to my phone and flash it.
Do you still have a custom recovery or just the Samsung recovery....sorry i should've asked sooner.

I have lots of those, the one on the phone is a 16GB and it has NOTHING on it.
I'd just flash through Odin or Heimdall and start over.

Right I am with you, but my question is, if I flash through Heimdall again will I get the stock rom? I know by using this method I am flashing a kernel, but since I have no OS as you stated because mY dumb *&^% formatted all, would I get the rom back this way?

The link i posted is stock. After thats done you can reroot and go from there. Make sure you uncheck the boxes in the instructions or you'll brick. If those options aren't shown then don't flash it. I don't know macs very well.

Let me research to see if Odin is Mac compatible but I doubt it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420
Heres another option I've used myself. As far as I know you have to use Heimdall, its the mac version of Odin but I don't know any of the commands or how to use it.

download mode, odin, ??????????, profit
well right now i have no files on my internal sd card cause i formatted that :S
i think one way i can fix it is if i can restore from external sd card which i can't find a cwm recovery version that supports it at the moment...
Have you tried using TeamWin recovery? I cant confirm if it reads external SD but others have reported that it does.

i flashed twrp through odin and flashed a new rom from external sdcard since i only have a 1gb microsd on hand.
thank you so much!
External sdcard readers and a recovery that reads external (cwm touch 4.8.4.5) ftw. I'm pretty sure twrp does read ext also though.

Hello,
I am a new member of XDA but have been using XDA for a while without an account. I have a Droid Incredible that I achieved S-off and rooted. I just recently tried installing Cm9 on it using ROM manager and cwm. For some reason my cwm didn't work (wouldn't come up,no recovery) while trying to install cm9. I decided to take battery out and forget about it. It work for all of 3 hours then rebooted and now will not leave a boot cycle I have tried multiple pb31img.zip files but it always says wrong image. I am obviously not so familiar with the dinc as I am with my Samsung galaxy exhibit because that phone is running cm10 and running perfectly so this isn't my first time. So if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it

Sounds like your sdcard hasn't been formatted properly. You need to ensure your sdcard is formatted to fat32. First, back up your data off it to your computer, otherwise you'll lose it all. Then format your sdcard. As for recoveries, try the latest TWRP (they get more updates, more features, and less issues than CWM for our device, imo) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38633018&postcount=163 then go back to flashing the ROM of your choice.
Well there's another problem. I can't get my phone to connect to the computer..
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
If it won't leave the boot cycle, and you can't connect to the pc, how did you get multiple PB31IMG.zip on there? Remove sdcard and use an external reader to plug it directly into the pc, perhaps?
I used my Samsung galaxy exhibit and downloaded to external SD and put it in the other

Do as pons said and use a mirco sd to usb adapter to read and write to the card with your pc. If you dont have an adapter you can get one for like 4 bucks at walmart. Or try using the sdcard out of your other phone. Or use your other phone to format the sd of the inc.
My problem is, I have a fresh reformatted external SD fat32 I place the pb31img.zip file on SD (no folders) and I get something to the sort of
Checking pb31img.zip
Wrong image!

Hey guys.
So my phone stuck in TWRP screen cause like an idiot I accidently erased system files as well.
Now I tried to adb push a rom bout I tried everything and couldn't get my both mac/windows to recognize the device.
So I now got a OTG cable to connect my USB key which I transferred a rom to use, but how do I get TWRP to recognize my USB key? If I go to INSTALL > EXTERNAL CARD it will not let me click on it.
Thanks!
Can you just load the ROM on an external SD card ? You can flash it from the external card in twrp.

Yeah so I transferred a rom.zip to my SD card than I went into INSTALL on TWRP to locate the file externally but it will not allow me to access the external memory.
Put the device into download mode and flash stock ROM and reroot

Male sure your drivers are installed properly and you are using a micro USB cord that supports data. If not it wont see it. When you say it wont connect have you opened Odin to see if it sees your phone in a com port ?
Not sure why it won't see your ext SD card. What's the size of it ?

My SGH-1747 is also stuck in recovery (TWRP) however I've never flashed, I accepted an update that kept popping up nagging me, after that my keeps booting into twrp. is there anything I can do inside twrp to get back to my home screen?
I flashed the StockKitkatRom_T210(R) rom and it lost its root, so I used Kingo Root to root it (which has worked for numerous phones for me previously) and when it rebooted the tablet I am now not able to get past Team Win Recovery Project no matter what I do! Does anybody know what to do?? Any help is deeply appreciated.

Do you have a backup??
I also had the same problem but it was when I went to recovery (TWRP) with app like Quick Boot or something. Backup done on TWRP or stock firmware flashed with Odin worked for me because everytime it was rebooting straight to recovery.
I had a backup but it disappeared and i have no idea how or where :/

I'm having this problem right now on my t110, seems to be a problem with this device and fast/quick boot apps from the threads I have read. No matter what rom I flash it boots right back into recovery. I even switched from CWM to TWRP to see if that would have an effect and it did not.
Downloading md5 from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T110 and will flash with ODIN and update if that works or not. Download is 3 hours from finished though lol.
Ok I fixed it. The firmware I got from a link in the description of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auRktH49aSM
I flashed the bootloader, code and CSC from the file with ODIN3 and it started up just fine.
