Hey guys I want to get into twrp recovery but after staying on the 'entering recovery' screen it will reboot . It worked fine till today and I tried reflashing it to no avail. Any suggestions?

Boot into fastboot and type "fastboot erase cache" then flash the recovery.
Try it with both CWM and TWRP.

Yup. Wipe cache and install recovery again, usually solves this.

I tried this but it still wouldn't boot into recovery. I then tried installing an older version on TWRP and finally it booted properly. I was looking through it and something caught my eye. MY ENTIRE INTERNAL STORAGE WAS WIPED!!! I have no idea how this happened!! I tried restoring from my sd card but it couldnt mount /data. Would adb sideloading a ROM work do you think?

It may or may not. Or if it flashes, you might not be able to mount any data partitions or cache.
Try connecting to a PC, and formatting the internal storage with Device Manager.

Last time i couldn't mount /data i just rebooted into recovery and let it sit for a day then it was fine... when I'm about to try to reboot into recovery though it says "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" will it be safe to reboot?
I hope you get your issues sorted soon. Don't know what i can contribute to help you achieve that. You seem to have more issues than one, but i like to give you one tip and that is to stay in one thread only. I seen you around now in multiple threads and its getting confusing on your actual status. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's very well ment advice
Cheers.

Should be safe. You won't have an OS, so it will just boot into bootloader.

Thanks for your help. You answered many of my questions and were very patient with my questions. I regret to say though that my phone is now bricked. Only bootloader will show up, recovery is a black screen and so is bootup. This wouldn't be so bad if my /data is still corrupted after everthing i tried and no computer will recognize my device. I will come back to xda when I actually know what I'm doing and when my phone isn't as valuable. Thanks again for all your help.
Not sure if this is a similar issue or not but I had some issues getting into recovery after doing Sunshine S-Off today. Had TWRP installed and working fine, but after doing the s-off exploit I would see the recovery screen for a split second before the phone would reboot normally again.
Even running fastboot boot recovery.img to run it directly wasn't working.
However, downloaded and installed CWM instead and all is fine again. Phew

Its not bricked if the screen comes on. I sincerely think we can get this thing back up and running. A phone that doesn't work isn't "valuable" so you might as well keep at it.
Delete all HTC drivers, and connect the phone to a PC. Go to Device Manager, select the option to manually select drivers, and select the generic Android MTP device.

Looks like you solved it. But did you mean you were going to replace the phone? That shouldn't ever be necessary just due to software mods you did, as long as the screen comes on. I've seen only one exception so far, where several users here helped the user exhaust every possible fix to the memory not being mountable and nothing worked, and it might have been a fried emmc chip or similar hardware fault. In your case, I still had plenty of hope, as there were still several options that were not tried.

No OS is a known issue for some folks on TWRP. It is puzzling, since it only seem to affect some people. TWRP was pretty rock solid and reliable on my past device, so its a bit disheartening to see it appears to be considerably more buggy on the M8.
So is the phone fully up and running, no issues mounting memory?

Got a slight issue...flashed system fine and messed up trying to customize my bootscreen...anytime I try to mount as a disk drive the phone freezes then reboots.
Only thing I can think of is the 'mount' command in shell. Didn't mean to run the command, but I did. Is there an easy way to fix this?!
I've tried re-flashing the ROM and fixin the permission...neither worked.

what commands did you use...? nothing in customizing bootscreen should damage anything on your phone...?
Last resort = RUU back to stock re-root and reflash..
So why did you feel you needed to make a new thread about this instead of just posting in the thread itself which is already dedicated to the rom and issues...

I used the 'mount' command while in shell.
Thanks for the help even though I posted WRONG.
I got my issue fixed by using a nAndroid backup..retsored and th issue was gone. I'm thinking the problem happened because I didn't have the droid SDK on my PC..fixed that too!
haha. mount by itself only displays the current mounted volumes. there isn't anything you can do with mount alone in order to render your system unusable.

I rooted my Evo last night with no problem and then decided to risk taking chances modding. I ended up replacing the HTC lockscreen with the vanilla one! However, I ended up trying to do a clockwork mod (the one that has the battery number on the top) and now my phone is in bootloop. I can't get my computer to recognize the phone now to download something on it. Anyone know of a way around this?
You should be able to pull the battery and be able to boot right back to recovery. Did you try that? Loops are POST recovery override so I would guess you haven't tried this yet?

Yes i'm in recovery but everytime I try to recover it goes into clockwork recovery and bootloops again. My laptop doesn't recognize the phone either.
Have you tried "fastboot?"

Yeah I did and I keep getting the error message "Connection failed" on my laptop. I'm on Windows 7
Thanks for taking the time to help me btw
Have you tried a different USB port? Strangely, sometimes Windows gets picky with a particular port / phone combo... and then choosing a different port often fixes connection failures.
Also, did you try factory resetting the phone as well? Like... clear storage... followed by full wipe?

Yeah I tried to reset factory but it resets it right into "Clockwork recovery." Trying to change ports now.
Yeah my main problem is I downloaded that mod and I need to get the phone back to how it was when I first used the Unrevoked 3.2
try booting to fastboot... then reboot your PC... then use a previously unused USB port... switch things around if you have to.
Actually... I have another idea...
IF you have unrevoked forever on there, I am guessing this should work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764062&highlight=amon_RA
that thread shows how to easily get switched to amon_RA from clockwork essentially in one easy step... but it requires that you push the img file.. which you are mentioning you cannot do... BUT... if you have a card reader/writer, you can pop your micro SD card out of the phone and into a reader/writer and put the img file in its root... along with a ROM of choice. then boot to the phone and it will automatically ask you if you want to restore the image file. say yes and you will be loaded up with amon!! amon is better. once you have that on there, pull the pcimg36 file off and flash the ROM that you picked from your amon recovery.
does this make sense? if not i can try to give better detail.

Cyanogenmod6 is simply the best, but it is VERY buggy at best and needs and unlock, which you don't have. I like Ava v7 because of it's simplicity and stability. A lot of people like evio and baked snack though. I don't know why. I don't personally.
Member now woo!
I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE PAST HOUR PLEASE DON'T HATE!!!! I ALWAYS SEARCH WHICH IS WHY MY POST COUNT IS LOW!!!
K so here is my issue was installing an app and it just rebooted in the middle of the install and is now stuck in a bootloop on the white htc evo 4g screen but can still access the bootloader. have already tried flashing a pc36img.zip still nothing. if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it. and also can't access recovery.
Thanks in advance!!!
UPDATE:NO FIX!!!!!!!! guy at sprint repair store said to file a claim and get a new one, also said say it was lost since it was rooted.

If you can access the bootloader then you are not bricked. If you can get into recovery then the first thing that you should try is to wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache. If that does not work then something in your data partition may be messed up. The next step would be to wipe Data. You will lose all of you system settings and data by doing this and you will have to reconfigure your accounts and install all of your apps again. If you have a backup (using MyBackup or Titanium) you can restore that just be sure not to restore any system settings that were from a different ROM.

Can you access fastboot usb on your phone (volume down +power buttons at the same time, then power button again on FASTBOOT)? If so, plug your phone to your computer and see what driver you have installed in the device manager from your computer's control panel, under Android Devices.

Try this PC36IMG file on your SD card, maybe it will work, or maybe not.

or try running a RUU file from your computer with your phone in Fastboot USB. One can be found here:

I am sorry i am very bad at this it was some stupid jelly bean thing
O_O
I am trying to install some stupid jelly bean thing now but i jsut want to make my kindle go back to normal....and i put the .zip file into the kindle sdcard and then i unmount it and then i do all the clearing of data and stuff then i use the .zip it worked but then it got stuck on verifing and stuff idk if its suposed to do that..... but then i just rebooted
I know how it is too be bad at this, I used to be pretty bad at this too. (Like 3-4 months ago.) So it was Jellybean? One question, does your bootloader work? If so, it's FireFireFire, correct?
EDIT: You posted as I was writing I see, Well, from my expirence in installing ROMS it shouldn't be hanging on Verifying. I beilive if it is it's because of a md5 check or signature (Correct me if I'm wrong) or another reason not known too me. So here is how you'd Install a ROM, Factory Reset - Wipe Cache - Wipe Dalvik/Cache - Install - Select ROMNAME.zip - Swipe to Confirm Finish -Wipe Cache/Dalvik - Reboot Device I hope this helps you.
So how's it coming along with that video?
I've been using my Galaxy Nexus for a month or so, with the official JB ROM (JR30C or whatever, deodexed and rooted) and today I opened Gmail.
That's it. I opened GMail, switched accounts, and my phone has been bootlooping ever since.
I wiped everything in CWM multiple times and reflashed it, and I can't get the phone to do anything else.
Any clues?

I do not have a working NANDROID. I wasn't sure about the Internet policies at work, but it looks like I can at least make it on here, I'm not sure I'll be able to download another ROM.
I'm confused though, I mean I know it would help to try as many options as possible (to fix it) - but this ROM has been working for weeks. And the phone died randomly, not due to a recent file change or a botched program. The only boot loops I've experienced before were on the Nexus One, and it was always due to a buggy/bad flash or a corrupted ROM download - this one just developed epilepsy on its own...
Here's my plan, since these are the only things I can manage to download due to restrictions on Internet usage at work.

is your (sd)storage recognized? thus is a similar symptom to when the stirage goes bad.
Hook the phone up to adb, boot it, and let logcat run. Maybe that will turn something up.

Hmm, you know, I'm not able to find the option to mount to USB in CWM...and just in case I forgot where that is, when I plug it in, I get the "hardware failed" noise from Windows and not the usual friendly "plug in" sound.

Hook the phone up to adb, boot it, and let logcat run. Maybe that will turn something up.

I'm at work, and I only have my work computer. Group/secpolicy won't allow me to install anything, no admin rights, etc.
Would it even do anything? The phone barely makes it through one second of the boot animation before it loops.

you cant mount the sd card. there is no USB mass storage period. not in recovery or booted normally.

Oy. Then how do I get another ROM on here? fastboot/adb?

Got more than one additional ROM on there via adb/recovery - my clue that CWM hasn't actually been able to do anything since the phone start looping is I'm still getting my custom boot animation.
I'm using the toolkit to reflash a stock image now. What a mess.
Even reflashing a stock image via fastboot did nothing. WTF happened to my phone? Won't stay on long enough to get a logcat
I'm having the same problem as this guy:

I just got finished trying to flash 4.1.1 using ODIN. It still shows me the custom animation from bigxie's ROM (which has supposedly since been overwritten 2-4x times).
Screw you Samsung...this phone is a month old, I flashed -once- to rooted Jelly Bean, and the phone dies when I open the GMail app.
EDIT: WTF - I write screw you Samsung, it boots to the Welcome screen! Just long enough for me to see that my files aren't on it anymore, then it bootloops again. And again. Now it's re-stuck in a bootloop.
And now I'm at the homescreen. I can't rely on this thing like this...is my flash dying or something?
Nobody?
It worked long enough for me to re-enter all of my different Google account information and now it's dead again. Now it only flashes the boot animation for a split second for bootlooping.
I'm thinking of a hardware defect.

Mee too. As you can see from my signature, I gave up and bought a One S yesterday night from Craigslist. Feels like a true successor to the Desire / N1. It's nice to finally have an AMOLED screen that actually seems color calibrated after the ugly mess that was my RAZR and my less than perfect GNex. It's a damn shame how much more painless flashing a recovery was on this thing.
