Hi all,
Would appreciate some guidance please.
I was preparing my phone to flash a custom ROM. In the process I wiped the data, wiped the cache, wiped the delvik cache, and accidently wiped the external SD card. So basically everything has been wiped.
Now my phone will not boot past the "Galaxy S 4" screen and will not boot into recovery mode either. When I press and hold the "volume down + home key + power key" to get into the download custom OS screen, that gets stuck at "Downloading...Do not turn off target."
When plugged into my computer, the USB won't open the external SD card.
What options do I have at this point?
Thank you in advance.

I gave my old phone Defy Red lens to a friend. He messed around with bootloader and now the OS does not see any internal storage so i can't install any bootloaders.
Can't acces custom bootloader.
I can only acces a recovery mode but my options are limited.
I did a full wipe and cache wipe from the recovery mod but i only managed to get inside os but all data resets everytime and there is no storage as stated before.
Please check attached photos for more information on build etc.
I tried RSD lite but it won't see phone while in recovery mode.
Any help is appreciated.

Bootloader is already in the phone, you must be talking about custom recovery. When you reboot your phone, a blue LED will light up. Immediately push volume down, then choose recovery->Teamwin recovery.
To enter bootloader, switch off your phone, then first press volume up then power button, keep them pressed until the screen lights up a little, then let them go. A screen appears, which is the bootloader. This is needed for RSDLite.
About your problem, download AROMA/full wiper zip. Go to custom recovery, then press install and choose the zip. Choose EXT4 and wipe system, data and cache. DO NOT REBOOT. After that, immediately flash a ROM+Gapps.
By the way, when you cleared data and cache in stock recovery (the one in the photo), they were formatted to ext3, which led to those problems.

Hello.
I've got an LG E610 L5 phone which was given to me with some custom-built Android ROM already installed. My wish was to install CyanogenMmod on it so I downloaded the latest release for the device and flashed it; however, after flashing the ROM into the device, the phone's stuck in CyanogenMod's boot screen.
I'll explain what I did:
I downloaded the latest CyanogenMod built for the LG E610 L5 phone from the official website.
I placed the .zip file on my microSD card.
I placed the microSD card inside the phone.
I booted the phone into Recovery Mode (ClockworkMod).
I backuped the previous installation to the SD card (a backup that I now lost, sadly).
After the backup, I wiped/factory reseted the phone from Recovery.
I wiped the cache partition.
I went to "Install .zip file from sdcard," and then "from ext_sdcard."
I selected Cyanogenmod's .zip file from the microSD card and installed it.
After the "Successful install!" message, I rebooted the phone.
And now the phone's stuck in CyanogenMod's boot screen. It's been in that state for maybe one hour already.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? What steps should I follow to solve this? Should Iprovide any more information? I currently don't have access to anything further than Recovery Mode and I don't know what to do.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Manuel M.

Can you enter in recovery mode?

Yes, I can. What I can't do is get past it.
If I select "Reboot system now," the phone restarts and gets stuck in CyanogenMod's boot screen.

I didn't get to install that recovery because this other problem arised: now I can't even acess Recovery Mode.
When I try to access Recovery Mode (holding down Home and VolDown + Power), the screen remains off while the button lights (Back and Menu) flash repeatedly.
I tried to access Download Mode (VolUp + Power) to flash a stock ROM via KDZ, but when I try to enter the mode, the screen turns completely white and remains that way.
I also tried to acess Download Mode holding down both Volume buttons after plugging the USB cable into the phone, but I only get a "Windows couldn't recognize the device because it malfunctioned last time" message and the phone's screen won't show "Download mode."
Whenever I turn on the phone normally, I still get the neverending CyanogenMod boot screen.
If I turn off the phone using the Power button, the phone turns itself back on. The only way to turn it off is removing the battery.
is there no tool like the AIO -ToolKit to just override everything for the 610?
Hi Folks,
My Yu Yureka phone was stuck in bootloop so i tried to do softbrick. That is flashed the phone in fastboot mode, entered into recovery mode, choose wipe data and factory reset. When it was wiping the data some how in the middle screen went blank and from then the phone does not boot. Pressed Vol up +down + power button and nothing happens. So i belive the entire data on phone including the OS is wiped out. Now how do i install fresh OS into it? Any idea ?
So I've wiped the Dalvik Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and System, but I forgot to flash before rebooting. Now it's stuck in the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen and everytime I tried resetting to recovery mode it would turn off then turn back on at the same screen. ADB is not detecting the devices also. Is there anything I can do or is it bricked?

Boot into bootloader by holding down vol down and power together. The timing can be a little tricky when it is stuck or looping. Hold power until the screen goes dark and it tries to reboot, usually about 8 seconds. Then let go and immediately hit vol down + power together. Hold them until the bootloader screen comes up, should be pretty fast. Might take a few tries to get the technique down with it bootlooping.
From there you can flash firmware directly with fastboot, or boot it into TWRP to flash something from recovery. If TWRP fails to boot for some reason then fastboot flash it again.
It should not be a brick just from wiping everything. Well, just a soft brick anyway.
Thanks!
I was able to get into recovery!!
Last night I wanted to wipe my cache partition, however when the screen comes up wasnt in recovery mode,therefore I pressed start, and I leave it to boot up. When I come back, it doesnt boot up, after 10 minutes. What should I do without losing any data from my phone? Will perform a wipe data/factory reset wipe all items in my internal storage?
