Okay my problem is im unable to flash any rom...what ive done
Was on stock firmware unrooted, connected to pc and rooted.
Then installed twrp bootlooder , then downloaded ng5 rom and tried installing through bootloader and the end string was just "/system" after 2 mins of hanging on installing rom with percentage bar.
Tried the basic rom v3 and had exact same result.
Flashed a new bootloader philz touch recovery
Did the same thing to both roms when attemt of flashing.
Other possibly related incidents... tried to enable mass storage not long after using some root app which claimed microsd card wasnt
mounted
Tried to install the avast mobile tracker rooted version and it wouldnt embed itself to the main built in rom with an error that implied it couldnt write to /system ...then tried the second option given by avast for older devices where it generates some zip that you then flash...guess what it wouldnt do that either saying make sure your sd card is mounted.
Ive verified root with two apps...my memory card is accessable and readable and im lost...am i...half rooted...is it an s-on device with nand protection??? Coz its acting like how i would image one to from my reading!!
Just really want to flash another rom and sick of being trapped with stock
Any advice would be ledgendary.

Team,
I have been researching for hours and am quite confused on which avenue to take to recover my soft brick. Information overload:crying:
Here is what happened and I will provide as much info as I can so please bare with me. After OTA upgrading to 4.3 and rooting successfully using the CF Auto Root. I was attempting to get my wifi hotspot working again using the Wifi mod and mucked around and installed the wrong mod (Odexed MK4). This rendered me stuck at the glowing samsung screen and it goes no further. Ive tried to factory reset, wiped cache and rebooted several times. Boots fine into recovery and download mode.
So after hours of searching, reading (its 3:50am est) and testing solutions I am no closer to a fix than I was when I started. I am currently waiting on a stock rooted rom to download in an attempt to flash back to stock but its taking hours to download.
However I just noticed, as I am typing this thread, that I can no longer
1. Mount as an usb external drive in recovery (TWRP v 2.3.1.0) I have Samsung drivers installed (1.5.14.0) so I get the indicator sound from windows that I sees the phone.
2. If I attempt to manually browse through my files using the recovery there are no files inside my internal sdcard directories.
/sdcard There are three directories there
/0 /obb /TWRP and the only folder that has files inside is the TWRP folder.
Im floundering here. I cannot even mount and install files on the phone to even attempt to flash back to stock. Can I get some fresh angles ladies and gents? I am at a loss.

Good morning (not really, I assume, sorry). So where are you at? Not sure what you mean that you cannot install files on the phone... Can you get into download mode and your computer recognizes the phone? If yes, can you do what you started to say - odin stock rooted? Or... if you can get into a custom recovery but your internal sd card has been wiped, can you put a stock rooted ROM in zip format on an external sd card, put that sd card into your phone, and flash in custom recovery?

Here is the problem...the ROM I have is in zip format and based on what I have been reading I cannot install via Odin. Due to the fact that the phone refuses to mount as an external storage device I have no way of placing data on the the internal or external card. The only recourse I have now it to attempt to find an adapter to be able to mount this microsd card to my PC. I am out of town and have no idea where I could find one.....uggggh. Ill keep you posted.

Walmart. .. target. ... and most any office store you should be able to find one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538543 ... This thread gives you the stock unrooted rom in a flashable zip. To my knowledge no one has put out a stock rooted zip, but I will check around.

You always have the Factory Reset/Wipe Data option inside your Recovery. But if that doesnt work use your downoad mode and Reset in KIES. but whatever you do, now that you have upgraded to 4.3 DO NOT try and dowgrade. it will cause a hard brick.
You did the ota update which put KNOX on your phone which is bad especially if you have a warranty. There is currently no way to get rid of it. I read a while ago the peoples phones has been getting bricked because they were trying stuff.
Anyway the only option I guess you have is to use your computer and reset your phone using kies. It will flash your phone back to stock in download mode.

Thank you all so much for you help!
Congratulations
I am glad you were able to get use of your phone back. I wish I had seen this thread sooner. I was in exactly the same boat a couple of weeks ago, only mine lasted 3 days. I even bought a new GS4 when I thought my phone was dead. Took it back when someone finally helped me do what you did. It's a helpless feeling when you have been rooting and Romming for years safely. Sure seems like a sticky thread is in order for this specific issue. As you can see, I haven't got enough history for credibility on this forum since I rarely post. Oh well.
My phone is the Virgin Mobile edition of the Epic 4G Touch, with the GB28 Jelly Bean stock rooted Rom.
I was in the process of installing Cyanogenmod 11 via the instructions listed at the bottom of this page. I've done hours and hours of research over several days to make sure of the process. However, I did the noobiest of noob things. I committed an error that even the dumbest of the dumb wouldn't have done.
I forgot to copy the files to the SD card before flashing the EL26 Kernel.
Mock me. I will understand. I've been circling my room cursing out loud at my amazing stupidity and oversight. Nonetheless, I need your help. My current situation has me at a mismatched Kernel and Rom which, of course, won't boot.
Solution 1 [Failed]:
Flash back to the stock GB28 Kernel. I tried the One-Click off of rwilco12's repository, but I get an md5 sum mismatch error. I've downloaded the file multiple times, but it appears to be corrupted.
Solution 2 [Failed]:
Boot into the EL26 CWM recovery (which is successful!), then try mounting /data or /sdcard. Neither works, and my laptop will not recognize that an SD Card is connected.
Solution 3 [Failed]:
Plug SD Card into the printer (with a mirco SD card adapter), then use the printer to transfer files. Problem is, my printer is out of black ink, and I can't do anything without that ink cartridge. That's right, I can't read the SD Card without replacing the ink cartridge. Go f*** yourself Kodak.
And so, with a phone that cannot boot properly I need to transfer files to my SD card. I've read something about ADB, but I don't quite understand how it works. Is there a specific version of ADB I need to download? If so, where could I find it? Is there any other way to get the files onto my SD card so I can complete the process of upgrading to CM11?

Try this if you can get into download mode. Install Odin on your laptop. Download the stock rooted restore for VMobile(GB28), tar version. Flash through pc Odin. Once you boot back up you should be able to copy the files you need top your sd card.
Since it appears all the download links for the VM recovery kernel are dead, you can use the GB27 kernel for the Sprint version. It won't cause any issues. To avoid the yellow triangle, flash the kernel through Mobile Odin. You can find Mobile Odin in the play store. Or, if you don't mind the yellow triangle warning on boot, you can flash the GB27 kernel with pc Odin. Once you have the recovery kernel flashed, you can reboot into recovery and continue your flashing.
By the way, you'll need to flash the Blasphemy kernel to get the proper recovery to flash any of the 4.4.2 roms. If you get the latest 4,.42 blasphemy kernel zip file, you can flash directly from the GB27 kernel recovery I linked. Then reboot into recovery, wipe and flash cm11 and gapps.

Success! Your instructions worked flawlessly, and I managed to get Cyanogenmod 11 working perfectly.
You're an amazing person, riggerman0421. Don't ever let them tell you anything different. :laugh:
Just glad I could help. I've been in those types of situations before. Most of what I've learned about android has come from trial and error. The rest of it has been from the helpful people here and other forums, usually after one of those errors. We all learn from each other, and try to give back when we can.
If you or anybody needs it, here is the GB28 kernel with CWM recovery. I hope nobody has any issues with my posting it as all the old download links are broken.

Thanks for the link! I've sent a message to rwilco12 to see if he'd like to add that to his repository. Whether or not he does, it's helpful to have that link for anyone searching the forums later. Thanks for taking the time to help and post.
Hi everyone,
I screwed up the OS of my tablet and am now stuck in a bootloop.
After a lot of trouble due to my inexperience, I managed to get a rooted but otherwise unaltered Android 6.0.1 on my tablet working correctly.
I also managed to get Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.4.7 installed which seems to have overwritten my OEM recovery. I did this so I could install SuperSu 2.65 on there so I could root my device.
The reason I rooted was to get Sixaxis controller app working on my tablet so I could use the Dualshock 4 to play games that did not support that controller, like I did on an older tablet.
Unfortunately, it does not work in Android 6.0 due to some bluetooth protocols or something being changed and the app not being updated, so I wanted to flash a rooted but otherwise unaltered Android 5.1.1 rom. I don't really need this tablet on a day to day basis so I wanted to turn it into a gaming machine.
Stupidly I forgot to enable USB debugging. Or make a backup on the internal SD card. I selected restore from the settings within Android to clear all data, caches etc and ended up in a bootloop.
I have no external SD card slot.
I have no backup on the internal SD card.
I am now stuck in a bootloop, but can boot to Clockwordmod recovery and bootloader.
I can't sideload because I don't have USB debugging enabled.
OTG USB does not work in my version of clockworkmod, even though it says the USB disk is mounted, there is no option to install/restore the zip file from there unless you have an unofficial version which I don't have.
I have the Anriod SDK developer stuff installed like the Google Drivers, Fastboot, Adb, etc.
In short, I need some way to get a damn zip file onto my interal SD card, I don't care what rom if it's rooted or not, stock or modded, Android 4.x or 6.x, because at least with a working OS I can go from there.
Any help would be appreciated...

If you can get into the bootloader, there's no reason why you cannot unlock it through fastboot command (fastboot oem unlock) or Skipsoft AIO. If you succeed in doing so, you can just flash a stock rom or any rom you download though Skipsoft. Good luck.

Actually I have and it worked like a charm. Thanks everyone for your help.
Hey there,
I have a problem with my fairphone (FP1). I recently used it with the ROM provided by chrmhoffmann (thanks for that!) but as I will use the dual SIM function more intensively in the future I decided to go back to official ROM.
I downloaded and flashed it from my SD card. It started and seemed to work until I reinstalled some of my apps (including Xposed). The phone got stuck in a bootloop afterwards, but I could still do a factory reset and it would work again. Unfortunately I had to do this a couple of times.. Don't remember what happened exactly, but I also flashed it again from my card.
At one point this didn't work any longer. My SD card is not recognized any longer, I cannot install anything. I tried a different card and fat32 but no success.
I therefore tried to sideload with adb but the installation always fails immediately. Somewhere I've read that someone had a similar issue caused by missing executing permissions - but I don|t know how to check that without booting.
Next thing I tried was to flash with the flash tool. I have version 5.1320. If I open the scatter files from the offiial ROM I downloaded from fairphone.com I get an error because it's missing some files. ("Item[1] PRELOADER: File not found" etc.)
It would be great if anybody could help me with this scatter file thing and explain me how to check this permissions thing!
i wanted to install new stock rom from here but fastboot wont install it so i went to twrp and tried to flash it from there but during flashing twrp just rebooted itself and saying installation wasnt sucessful, i figured this is due to S-On but prior to flashing it i did possibly the stupidest thing, i went to ADVANCED WIPE and wiped every option on the list(dalvik,system,data,internal storage,cache) except for micro sdcard ofcourse. i then went to FIX PERMISSIONS and stupidly select the ALSO FIX SELINUX CONTEXTS. when those done i then went and install another image which is on the sdcard that i downloaded from here E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip . the installation went well and rebooted itself and got to the homescreen and whatnot. but the troubles came when i tried to install apps from playstore and it gave me all kind of errors known to man, even going into file manager to access the internal storage gave me problem it says something along ACCESS IS DENIED or CANT ACESSS EMULATED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. when i opened chrome to download something the browser just crashed because apparently it wont able to access the emulated storage. yeah i fcked up badly here. dont know whatelse to do.
see below of the files that i currently have in my external microsd card:
E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip -WORKS
open gapps arm64 android 5.0 stock
RUU 0PJXIMG_A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.7 07.2 - DONT WORK

Thanks!
Got it fixed! by going to TWRP-->WIPE-->FORMAT DATA and reinstall the ROM. if anybody experiencing the same problem please do the same.
