So I was trying to flash AOKP and the gapps on my AT&T Samsung galaxy S4 and i suppose i wiped too much; it got rid of the rom, my backup and now I'm stuck on with TWRP or the "Samsung Custom" screen.. What do i do? Please help..
Try flashing it again... If that doesn't work, re-download the ROM, put it on an SD card and try again.

I don't have AOKP on it anymore, it deleted nearly everything i had; it also gives me the option to install superuser through TWRP, then just puts me through the bootloop again.
Place the loki'd ROM/kernel and gapps on a micro SD card and flash from it or read up on adb.
You did do a nandroid backup correct? what happens if you restore?

So I tried to update my wife's nook color from cm7 to the latest cm10. I had messed up the partition layout before but she would never let me try to fix it, so I was trying to re partition it to the 1/5 set up. It will not read the SD card, either within the ROM or in recovery. I was able to get the repartition files to what the ROM thinks is the SD card but it won't flash. I tried to reboot into recovery to flash the reformat zip and it is now stuck in cyanoboot. It will not boot into recovery, ROM (CM7), or a boot able SD I made.
What are my options?
Force a factory reset and start over? I've never had luck with the 8 failed to boot method.
Thanks foe the help

You need to use my bootable CWM card found in my tips thread linked in my signature. It has been modified to boot in these circumstances. Then go to my partition repair thread and run those zips. It will take you back to 1/5.

I gotta say, you guys here in the NC forums are the best. Thanks form the quick reply
**edit**
So I got it up and running, just one little issue. It gets stuck at the bootloader screen and it wont boot into recovery. I can get it yo boot into the sd recovery and flash/backup whatever I want, and then reboot system. But it won't reboot recovery from cm10 or cyano boot menu

Do you mean to boot to internal recovery? There is none there after you did the partition repair. It wiped everything. And if you put a CM rom back on it, that does not put any recovery on it, just the rom. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and there are several recoveries there to put on emmc. I recommend the 5.5.0.4 version for emmc.

"or reboot into the rom". What does that mean? You cannot get the new flashed rom to boot? Or did you mean you could not get it to boot to internal recovery from the power menu in CM10? If the latter, try installing a different recovery to internal to see if the twrp install corrupted somehow.

I wanted to install cyanogenmod on my Nexus 4 so I installed CWM recovery through ADB and then booted to it from the phone.
Before doing anything I wanted to do a Nandroid Backup but something went wrong (I suspect storage space)
So I tried to boot the device to delete some files, but I can't get past the boot screen
I still dont have any roms on the device so I cant flash them and I can't figure out how to access the SD Card, I've read it doesnt work from CWM on Nexus devices
I would try to wipe data cache or maybe lock/unlock from fastboot and hope it gets back to normal but I wanted to hear your thoughts before messing it up even more.
What dou you think?
Thanks in advance!
You can try sideloading a rom onto it if you flash TWRP.

Thank you Wiping the cache did solve it however.
Also, if this happens to someone else and wiping the cache doesnt solve it, CWM has also got a sideload install option

Hello!
Ok so i have a galaxy s4 for at&t. I want to install the 4.2 google edition rom on it. First time im doing this! For some reason it keeps failing. This is what Im doing:
1. Root the phone with motochopper ( i confirmed its rooted by DLing root checker app)
2. Transfer the ROM file onto the micro sd card
3. I boot in recovery by holding volume up.
4. Wipe
5. Update from sd card and select the rom file
6. It seems to be working and restarts the phone with touchwiz!
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Please Help.
Sounds to me like you're in stock recovery. Did you install a custom recovery after rooting?
You need to install twrp or cwm recovery

Agreed. After you install a custom recovery, OP, ya better make a backup before continuing. Cheers
I have been a Samsung Galaxy Y user for more than a year. I have to say that this device is awesome. But.... I have later noticed 2 problems.
1) One day I tried to install Elegance ROM. I followed all steps very carefully and when the installation was done, I rebooted my phone. Unfortunately, my phone booted up again at Samsung stock firmware. I tried to enter recovery mode because I wanted to see what went wrong, but I was automatically redirected to CWM recovery. I tried once again to install Elegance ROM, and the result was the same. From that day, CWM is my default recovery. Why? How to fix this??? I can't access stock recovery and I also cannot install any custom ROMs. How to fix this?
2) Even my SD card is full with songs, photos and videos, the "Gallery" and "Music" apps don't read any file. Why? How to fix this?
P.S. I'm running stock 2.3.6 rooted.
Thanks for help.

You have a permanent cwm because you are using a custom kernel with a permanent cwm - probably was included in the rom zip
If you want stock recovery flash stock kernel (can be found in general section or flash hells fusion #50 from dev section and select option to flash stock kernel)
you would of remained on stock rom after flashing another rom because you didn't mount system in cwm before you flashed the zip
As for your other problem flash stock rom via odin as you have probably mucked something up from flashing zips incorrectly
So.... If I flash the stock kernel, will I be able to access stock recovery and flash CWM every time I want?
By the way, this mess with the files started when I changed my phone's SIM card. When I turned my ohine on again, I opened by mistake the "Galery" app. I noticed that no images were there. I also thought that the "music" might also had the same problem. And that's what happened. Which Odin version I will need?
Thanks again.

Yes stock kernel = stock recovery and you can flash a temporary cwm
there is no problems with a permanent cwm in custom kernels as you need cwm to flash roms
If you goto phone settings about phone it will show you your current baseband - for example mine is xxlf3
You can either download that stock rom firmware from dokys thread if there or any other from your country
Thanks everybody. You are all really helpful. I appreciate your help. But tell me, do I need to mount system before installing Elegance? And while I'm having a custom kernel installed, can I flash roms or I need the stock kernel?
Thanks again.

Follow instructions on the op of the rom you want to flash
you must always mount system before flashing a zip else nothing will happen - you can flash zips all day and no changes would happen as it can't write to system as it's not mount!
As a general rule
wipe system
wipe data
wipe cache
mount system
mount data
mount cache
flash zip
format data (not always required just for some roms)
restart
you do not need to go back to stock to change rom
There are guides in general section - please read them first then you would understand the process

A few months ago, I installed Creed 3.5 ROM. It was awesome. I want to install it again but tell me:
Can I install it while I have a custom kernel installed? If yes, do I need to mount system before installing? Thanks for help

Yes you can flash it over any kernel and yeah mount all the partitions after formatting them.

I refer you to my previous post in this thread
wipe data system cache
mount everything
flash rom
you can use any compatible kernel
The problem with the files is caused by the sdcard

S3 I9300
Pacman rom's. Nightly
Latest CWM touch
Problem I'm having is every time I try to flash the nightly update, it says update complete then when I reboot the phone goes into a bootloop and have to restore from backup.
Using CWM I have tried installing zip from SD card as well as from the external SD card.
I have wiped cache & dalvik cache after install and even tried wiping before and after zip install. Still get the bootloop.
Even tried installing using Rom Manager and get the same bootloop.
Do I need to change the file name or something? I'm kinda stuck. Any help would be great.
Thanks guys
I don't have a PC so can't flash with that.

I'm sure about your phone, but with mine, I just waited a couple of nights for a new nightly. I'm on nightly from 11/9/13 and its been working OK. With it being a nightly, there's always gonna be problems. So I wouldn't worry so much about that, and just wait for the official. but then again, I'm no expert.

are you using a custom kernel? if so the bootclasspath is probably borked.
