Unsure of what happened. I attempted (Using ROM Manager) to try a different ROM (Virt), rebooted, and I am now stuck in a constant reboot loop at the "HTC" logo. I am still able to get into recovery, but somehow my backups are gone, SD card shows almost 4gigs open. I did backup my SD card (with recovery) on my PC. S-off, hboot: .79, radio at 2.15.00.07.28.
I've attempted factory reset, clearing cache / davlik, but I am still unable to clear this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
If you can get into recovery then flash a new ROM from within there.
The problem is getting it on the SD card.. I don't have a SD card reader. Is that what is needed? I have Skyraider 3.3.3 on my desktop, that would probably be the easiest way. Is there any way to transfer it to the phone without one while in recovery?
Update: was able to get SD recognized by PC, copied Skyraider_333 over to SD. Installing via recovery as we speak. (Fingers crossed)

Of course just go to mounts and storage in clockwork mod recovery, you can mount your USB storage from there and then put ROMs onto the card.
Working... Installed OTA without difficulties. Only issue is that it took twice to install, but so far so good.
Once again, thank you!
I've had my a500 for a while now and thought i would have a go at rooting it (currently own a rooted HP TP and a SGS). . .
But obviously im wanting to do all my homework before plunging in (im sure like others, there have been some close calls and tense moments).
Unfortunately the external sd card slot of my A500 doesnt work. . im not sure why, but every time i insert an sd card in it wont "click" in.. it just keeps springing back out. .
anyways, so i've had a look at this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227
and worked out that i can use Method 1 which doesnt require an external sd card. . .this will enable me to get back down to 3.0.1 after which i can run Iconiaroot and then Acer Recovery Installer from the market.
My question is, will not having an external sd card prevent me from anything further? Other than the obvious storage. . .
I'm presuming that after rooting i can transfer a new ROM to the internal sd storage via usb or straight download and flash via CWM?
Yes, latest recovery (1.7.1) from thor supports flashing from internal memory. But in order to update the one that is installed with ACER Recovery Installer from Market (1. 3.4) you still need a sd card or a USB drive. Try if CWM from the market can update itself with the use of a USB drive. If that doesn't work the only other way to install the latest recovery on a rooted tab without sd card would be with ADB and terminal with is not such a big headache after all. Read instructions on tegraowners in the recovery section.
As for the reverting, you can do exactly as you have planned or you can use timmyDean 's method which will flash directly a rooted stock 3.2.1 ROM - haven't tried it myself but seems more elegant He still uses the euu tool but replaced the 3.0.1 image with a rooted stock 3.2.1 which will save you some time and efforts.

cool. .thanks for that. . that's very helpful.
one another question. . .if i did install via the ACER recovery installer, would i not be able to update CWM via ROM Manager? (i.e. without the need for sd card or USB altogether?)
So I flashed a custom recovery today and accidentally wiped everything, including the ROM file I had copied over while I still had my previous ROM. Problem is, I have no idea how to get the ROM file onto the phone now. Usually I use my microSD card but for some reason no recovery will recognize my card (tried mulitple recoveries, and cards, probably a problem with the slot) and now I have no way to get a file onto my phone. I tried using the USB mount but when I click it nothing happens on my computer. So how do I get my GAPPS and ROM onto my phone so I can flash them? Thanks!

Which recovery did you flash? With TWRP I get a popup on my computer when I connect via USB and can copy files over. You will need to DL the samsung USB drivers and install them on your PC.
You can also use ADB sideload to transfer a your necessary files to your phone
Hi,
I just rooted my Sprint V20 and for some reason the SD shows up as corrupted but I can see the files when connected via TWRP.
My question, is there an app or a way I can fix the error with an app or with in android? It doesnt show up on windows for some reason.
NONONONO its a kernel issue. flash the konverged kernel and it will be fixed. You will need to reinstall super su after.
Hello all,
I decided to install a recovery mode called Philz touch v6.07.6, which completed successfully and I can access to both download mode and this recovery menu. Then used Kingroot to root the phone. I then tried to use the ADB system to install a ROM due to not having an SD card at the time. I had chosen the option to clean install which deleted cache and formatted certain folders. The installation process then failed and I can only access download mode and recovery and my phone does not connect to my laptop anymore, or any other. I cannot seem to connect my phone to any computer, either with different cables or USB port.
I've uninstalled KIES, smart switch. uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers but my phone still does not connect to Odin or ADB server. I cannot install a new recovery menu as I cannot see my phone on Odin.
Thinking an SD card with a ROM would resolve the issue I purchased a card, added a ROM to it but I cannot find anything I put on the sd card. Choosing install from zip then SD card it shows clockworkmod/ but nothing else. Using free browse mode i've looked into every folder and cannot find anything that is on my SD card. I see no option under mounts and storage to mount the SD card
Thank you for your time and if you can advise me on what I am doing wrong.
Edit: I forgot to mention - When powering the phone on normally without trying to get into recovery or download mode, the top left of the screen says:
"Kernel is not seanandroid enforcing"
Set Warranty Bit : kernel
You do realize the S4 has an internal storage, right? It's a built-in microSD card.
So you absolutely don't need one to use and/or flash custom ROMs on it.
Your second mistake was flashing PhilZ recovery. It's a mistake because that recovery is outdated.
Your third mistake was trying to flash the ROM via ADB when you can simply flash it with the recovery.
The reason why the ROM zip doesn't show up in your recovery id because, most probably, the internal storage is selected by default. So, either navigate to the microSD card folder or move the ROM zip to your internal storage.
I also recommend switching to TWRP recovery.
@Aysta, if it's not too late for you, just flash the latest twrp Recovery ". Tar. File" in Odin (>AP) by switching off the device in download mode. After that just copy your desired custom rom and gapps to your sd-card by an sd-card reader in Windows and the rest you know, which as i assume, will follow... [emoji6]
P. S I just experienced the same yesterday evening when i bricked one of my Sammy's while using an experimental kernel (. Img) file.
Anyhow, this just solved everything for me [emoji4]

You have to get your phone working with Odin, it's your only way out.

"this doesnt make sense than, either"
And i overlooked it. Can happen mate.
Thank you for your assistance guys, i've still not been able to flash a new recovery as my phone just will not connect. I read installing older drivers helps but it didn't. Older odin didn't work. I need to access an operating system which isn't Windows 10 according to another website. So will create a virtual machine and let you all know how it goes.
Ubuntu has worked! i installed jodin3 and my phone shows up on there while in download mode

That's why i told you it's the Only way, Odin must detect your phone, otherwise you're screwed.
