Hello,
Here's the deal.
I managed to format pretty much everything with my Wildfire which was kind of stupid. So now it won't start because I don't have android installed anymore. Both the phone system and the SD card is formatted so I no longer have any source from which I can install.
What should I do?

you have recovery?
I can enter recovery. I have ClockworkMod Recovery.
But there I can't to a factory reset as I managed to format it.
Dont you have a stored nandroid backup? what network you on?
I was to eager to move forward with everything so I never created a backup... Stupid mistake really, but that's why I'm trying to fix it.
Right now when I start the phone I only see a white screen and the htc logo in green and then it is like that until I remove the battery.
EDIT: The only solution that I think is possible would be to stick the sd card into a card reader and add a rom so I can flash the phone again in order to get the OS back. Would that be possible?
One word... ****... :S

If you can get into clockwork recovery, that should work....hopefully.

I can get into clockwork recovery. Problem is I can't access the SD card as I don't have a card reader myself. But I guess that's my only option atm so I'll have to wait until I get a chance to try it out.
Cant you mount the sdcard from the advanced options in clockwork recovery and dump the rom onto it?

This should work, i always use this option to put files on SD
Goto partitions menu in recovery then goto mount usb storage and put the rom on and flash it

copy any rom to your microSD with a card reader and boot recovery!
Yes it's working. Thanks for all the help.
I have done the same mistake ....but I didn't quite understand what I have to do ...
I download any ROM on my sd card, put it back on my wildfire and then reboot recovery?? it that it?
Read through this thread, and if your still stuck, i will help you sort it out.
ROM fixed, touchscreen failed
I succeded with a new rom so I was very happy that I could pass the white screen with the htc logo on it. But then another problem came up. f***** frustrating. My touch screen does not respond. I tried rebooting. takind the battery off. Nothing!!! I have not dammaged the touch screen in any way ....like drop it or something like that . it just didn't respond.
Is there any possibility to fix it myself?
Try reinstalling the rom, if that does not work, try another rom. Let us know how it goes.
I've tried both options and the touchscreen is still not working. I can't understand how it stop workin...
Hey there,
I have trouble! I was playing with chrooted ubuntu, busybox, and so..
Than, I started getting error in terminal apps:
sh: applet not found
WiFi stopped working.
I tried cold boot.. Did not help.
SDCard is not accessible. I decided to wipe it. In recovery I choosed Wipe Data/Factory reset.
But after that, still no WiFi. I can see networks, I can click on them, but it is still getting IP address..
I would like to flash the ROM, but how? Recovery cannot mount /sdcard!
What should I do? Thank you

i just got over the same exact issues caused by the same exact thing.
The only way to fix it was to flash either stock or a modified rom. What do you mean recovery cant mount sdcard. If you have cwm installed just put a rom on your microsd and use cwm to flash it. If you dont have cwm yet then you can take the stock firmware off the asus website, put it on the internal or external sdcard boot the transformer like normal, and you will see a little exclamation mark next to the clock in the bottom right corner, click it and it will take you through the motions of upgrading then reboot and reflash. o you probably lost root access too, I know i did, so reroot when done if you want.
There's no such thing as "half-bricked". It's dead or it's not. Yours fortunately still does stuff so you can keep trying.
Could it be this sdcard is moody? Tried a different sdcard?
Alternative ways could be using nvflash while connected to a PC with the USB cable. There are many guides on this forum.
Good luck.

You do have an external micro sd card correct?
You can try Team Rouge's CWM recovery, it work with internal sd card.
There's a modified RecoveryInstaller here that will flash Team Rouge's recovery

After 2 days of trying, I did it
I rebooted it about 2 milions times. He did not see the SD card. But then he finally mounted it and I quickly installed ROM.. uhh..
So, it was my Asus Transformer's PMS or something
Thanks you guys. It was a fight
So.. I'm about to start tinkering with ubuntu on my TF101... I did this on my Droid 4 with no issues, the Tablet is next on the list... What exactly did you do to hose the tablet?
I just want to try to learn from your mistake.
Thanks.
Ok i was on ICS passion then all of a sudden my phone said something about encryption an that it had failed an only option was to reset phone so i hit reset then it went to recovery mode an green android came up with chest open then error message happened an so i booted in to recovery then i try to go in sd an it would not allow me to so i then tried to odin an flashed then i powered on it gies to vibrant screen then it just shuts off so i then flashed Eugene froyo that does not brick then it takes me to stock recovery an says an i cant click on anything in recovery can only move -- movi_checking done!...
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions.
Here are instructions i have followed an no luck http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043892
Ok I think you got some extra cache or some other piece of data that did not get wiped. either way, do this in this sequence and you should be ok
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
It is #7 that is important when it reboots into recovery after froyo that does not brick then pull the battery and go back into download mode and flash the JFD, This will clear everything out and put you back into stock
Good luck
Got it started
I got it booted though a very hard process an now i cant get my sd card to mount it says when i go into anything media related it says "Your phone does not have a SD card inserted" an Externel dont mount either

Don't use eugene's rom, since you were using an ICS rom follow these steps
flash froyo bootloaders
flash regular jfd and TICK REPARTITION ( ICS/CM7/CM9 change the partition layout and you need to flash correct partition table for stock rom to work )

Hey Jason. I'm in the exact situation you're in. Loaded Passion for about 1 week, got the encryption screen and was forced to reset. Now my SD cards (internal and external) won't load. Have you found a work around for it yet? Cheers Mate.
nope nothing
either of you find a solution? Im having same issue
In the same boat
I am in the same boat. I was using the Euphoria ROM. Yesterday things slowed down on the phone. I rebooted a few times and it crashed. The last couple of times it told me about the encrypted data. That was when I tried to take it back to stock and it won't do anything now other than boot to the vibrant logo and shutdown. Searching for a way to odin a ROM/Kernel that has a CWM recovery so I can go in and manually format the SDcard.
Do what I did, sell it to someone as a wifi hotspot and buy yourself a hercules. You'll never look back

Webstas- Just out of curiousity, were you trying to mount your phone to your computer while on ICs when this happened? I have a theory that I believe I know why this is happening. Just need you to see if you remember a few weeks ago and if you had any problems mounting to your PC and then your next reboot you got the Ecnryption Error.

no i got up an took a shower then came back it gave me an encryption error then i odin back an more trouble odined a couple more times an now it boot loop an also wont start with eugenes froyo
I know it has been awhile but think back. Were you mounted to your PC at anytime between your last reboot and the Encryption Error? Doesn't have to be right before, the error gets throw on your "next" reboot. And as you know, reboots can happen manually or for something as simple as wrong UV settings.
Looking back in this thread, I saw that you got it to boot up. See if you can do that again and then mount your External via ADB and you should to push the proper commands then. Pretty much your internal is hosed, but me and a few others are working on that too.
Can't get it to boot it makes it to Vibrant screen an shut off an on Eugene"s froyo it gives me a couple of errors an I just can't get it to start anymore it there anyone who has encountered this an got it fixed like I really need this fix I am using a blackberry please save me
YAY
I got it fixed but now im on step 13 of that guide where you have to use ADB an i cant get the phone to show up on my PC what drivers do i need i already have Vibrant drivers but still nothing an the usb works its a samsung USB so can anyone help me with ADB
I am having a similar problem. Was running ICS 4.0.3 w/Euphoria without issue until this morning. Got a couple of errors after a normal recharge. Pulled battery and rebooted, but is stuck in boot loop. Cannot access either recovery or fastboot screen. Vibrant logo flashes and release buttons, but never enters mode. Then cycles to Android screen and would likely stay there until battery died. This is primary phone and need to put back into service quickly. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Put your transformer in APX mode by hold the power button & volume up.. If it turns back on do it again, make sure you have you sync cable plugged in and drivers installed. Now that your in APX download this stock rom then root it with viper (option 1 in viper)

Yes there's a fix in there towards the bottom of the first post.
If you want to flash another recovery, turn your device on into recovery, connect it to your computer and use adb to push the file to your internal storage.
It should be something like "adb push filename.zip /data/media" then you can use the borked recovery you're on to flash the one you pushed.

His problem is with it getting stuck in recovery, which is a known issue with Koush's 5.5.0.4, simple fix with adb. No need to reflash the whole rom.

Ok I have a big problem here and need help fast... I rooted my Kindle quite awhile ago and installed a IcS rom.. It worked perfectly...i had back ups for the Stock and ICs rom on TRWP so I got a new rom Ics with kernel 3.0 or something... flashed it worked perfectly...... but i went to flash it again in Twrp i went to WIPE and did factory reset but SOME how i clicked Sd card it removed everything I was very very scared.......I go back to restore nothing is in there i go to install everything is gone Idk what to do how am i gona get a rom in here to flash please help me... i dont wanna lose my kindle fire
I bricked a kindle fire pretty bad but was still able to get a working rom on there after using firekit and the usb boot mode trick. Was able to install firefirefire and twrp using ubuntu on a usb stick and some motherboard shorting. I'm still waiting for my factory cable to arrive in the mail but found this trick while waiting.

This is a last resort for when you can't even adb shell into your device.

I'm sure you've figured out by now that you've deleted everything on your /sdcard partition. What you need to do now is "format" that area again. You can do this in one of two ways...
1) Use TWRP's Mount -> Mount USB Storage feature to get mount onto your computer's OS. It will ask you to format... you should be OK after that.
2) If that doesn't work out for some reason, you'll have to use parted to "make filesystem" which is just "format" in linux-speak...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424784
You can follow the directions in there to get it done, but it might ask a couple of times what partition and what filesystem type you want. It's always going to be 12 and fat32 for those questions. Don't mess with anything but partition 12. Type "quit" to get out of the "parted" program.
If you don't know how to use adb, read the posts in this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
I suggest you read it from the beginning, but the information you need is mostly located in the 3rd post.
Hey, I said it was a last resort. I probably should have waited for the factory cable but i'm impatient. It all worked out though.
It should have just reformatted the sdcard partition. Try to mount usb from twrp and copy a Rom to flash.

The shortest recommendation (the one above), is the right one.
I don't know wth tombombman was talking about, that relates nothing to a formatted SD card
TRY to find the smallest possible OS install in megs. It'll increase the likelihood that a SD card data recovery program might be able to find your old backups, should it NOT be overwritten by any new data that's created on the SD card.
