[AOSP 6.0] Can't Access SD Card, Recovery Mode - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Let me start off by saying I would have posted this here, but I couldn't due to forum rules. It's because I am noob (less than 10 posts!)
I flashed AOSP 6.0 on my S4 as per the instructions on the above thread, and the ROM is great! Aside from a few bugs/battery issues. :good:
My problem is that my computer does not detect my external SD card, and I cannot boot into Recovery Mode. I have tried the following:
Reformatting the SD Card
Ejecting the SD Card
Recovery Boot using the standard method (press and hold VolUp, Home, Power)
Recovery Boot using Terminal Emulator
Please help! :crying:

Solved
I gained wifi access and installed a reboot app from the play store. That got me back to recovery mode where I could flash AOSP 5.1.

HTC Magic - Booting in to recovery.

Just looking for a bit of guidance.
Got my hands on a HTC Magic 1.6 after my sister upgraded her contract, always fancied having a play around with Android so I set out.
Tried loading the sappimg.nbh on to the SD, booting up by holding POWER + VOL - but I always get update failed so I download the Android SDK.
Loaded fast boot from command prompt and got the message:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
I was able to go in to backup/restore and make a Nandroid backup which shows on the SD card itself.
Now my problem is when i run "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" at command prompt it isnt doing anything.
The phone is in recovery mode; but if I reboot it and try and hold HOME + POWER it just boots to a screen with an ! mark, a triangle around it and the phone.
My SD card is blank when I start, do I need files on this? Do I need the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G image already on there?
Any help would be great I'm sure I'm missing something blatently obvious.
If I get this step done, I'm guessing it's then just a case of loading my ROM on to the SD card; booting in to recovery and running update.zip?
Cheers.
Okay.
So I went ahead and stuck the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G on the sd card itself.
Went through the process again and I'm now able to boot in to Recovery mode by holding POWER + HOME.
Do I need to leave this on the SD card at all times? Just incase I want to boot in to recovery and change the rom?
Also, I'm guessing now it's just a case of downloading my choice of ROM and flashing?

Huawei Ideos X5 Boot Problem

Hi to everyone , I connected my phone via usb to my computer and from my fault i deleted internal sd memory data and now phone wont boot , what should i do now ? . Thnx for your time ...
So many views and none can help or answer ??
You haven't provided enough information. What exactly have you deleted? The contents of the bootloader (pink screen)? Or the actual contents of the SD card?
I delete all data and partitions from internal sd /memory , for example it has 2GB internal sd and 512 RAM when i did that , it had 4GB but when i unplug it from pc wont boot after that.
Did you try to do this: http://android.modaco.com/topic/341374-custom-you-data-partitions-size/ ??
Can you still go into recovery mod?
If not, then you need to go into bootloader (hold Vol+,Vol- and Power until the screen turns pink), connect the usb cable and tell me what files you have in the "image" folder.
If you can boot into recovery mod(hold Vol+ and Power), then from Recovery Mod go to mount and storage, mount the sd card and copy a custom Rom (this should do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147103) in the root directory, then go to install zip from Sd card and select the zip that contains the Rom.
Let me know how you go.
I cant go into recovery mod and bootloader because phone dont start or boot , even if i connect it to pc cant read sd card , i think from deleting all this , phone lost all os and now it need to send it to huawei to reinstall it or ??
Recovery.img is located in the bootloader, that memory is not accessible from Recovery or any other tool...In less you actually deleted the files from bootloader (pink screen).
If nothing happens when you hold VOL+,VOL- and Power, then send it back to warranty.
i switched my phone off,then on and it get stuck on the ideos animated screen..
i removed the battery,then turned it on but still,then i tried to hard reset with +-power,i got a pink screen,i removed the battery again(couldnt turn it off)and then i turned it back on,it again got stuck on loading screen...I havent any roms installed,i have rooted it thogh,what's wrong? does rooting,void warranty?
So you can boot to bootloader mode(you can exit from this mode only if you remove battery). Then you can flash again the rom. Try to find an official rom, better the rom that device has before, if you know which you had. In rom's zip file there is a folder called dload. Put this folder on the external sd card, boot to bootloader and the installation will begin automatic.
do i need to have the sd card formatted or it doesnt matter?
i go to recovery mode,i connect the phone to the pc,i rename the original recovery.img to .bak,copy the recovery image(clockwork),dissoconnect the phone from pc,remove battery,enter recovery mode but yet again i get the pink screen....What am i doing wrong?
by the way i have the sd card removed.
I don't know what you have done, but you don't need the recovery to flash a stock rom.
You don't need to format sd card also, just put the dload folder on root of your sd.
If you successfully flash the stock rom it will put all files in the right place, so after you can root the device and replace the stock recovery with a custom one.
i installed a custom rom but still after reboot,the phone stays on log screen(ideos animated)...
So, you have a completly different situation from the user created this thread. You should make a new thread or mentioned here, beacause this lead to confusion.
I think that accidentaly you pushed both vol buttons and for this bootloader mode appears.
Try to use adb or an app for this(QtADB, android commander, Ultra ADB gui) to be sure and to avoid to use the button combination. Of course you need to connect device with adb for this. You can do it from windows command prompt too, by writing adb shell -> reboot recovery.
If you stack at animated screen try to do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache first. The first boot maybe delay before it gets you to the home screen.
recovery.img change
I need help with this also
I have nothing in my folder at all??
What should i do??
Thanks

how to boot recovery?

Hello
I followed this guide to root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17135571
I did everything as given but when i pressed the Up Volume + Power and then down volume, it is stuck in "Starting Fastboot protocol support"
i dont see any recovery. How can i do this?
hi,
After reboot (Vol and Power) you have to wait 3 sec. and you will see a text in the left corner. You can toggle whit vol- and confirm with vol+.
Try it again!
Thanks dude. Got it. But have another problem
When i am in recovery mode when i want to flash the zip file i get the following
Failed to mount /sdcrd (no such file or directory)
Any idea how i can make sure recovery mounts the SD Card?
do you have a SD Card in your xoom? If not then there's the problem, you need a SD Card.
I have a Micro SD Card new one. This is detected in File explorer
Got it working. It looks like the recovery image was not flashed correctly. Its done now and all working fine
thanks for your support

LG E610 L5 / Can't flash Cyanogenmod / Phone stuck in boot screen

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?

How to Unbrick Phone with no OS Installed?

Want to Install Stock ROM Lollipop. But the System Cannot Flash/Install that ROM.
Previous, i'm using Ressurection Remix 5.8.5 . All Went Normally, Until i decided wanna back to Stock ROM and get this error.
Situations :
* The Device Stuck on Boot Logo, and No responsibility
* The Device cannot Reach Recovery, Adb, fastboot, even not detected in Device Manager when i Wanna try Flash using QFIL
* Vol Up+Down + Power Buttons Not Works, Only Blink Blue on screen and then reboot.
Chronologic

2. When Process, it says Update failed
3. Using Minimal ADB, I tried to flash Stock Lollipop Recovery. And failed.
4. Accidentally, i typed "Adb Reboot recovery.img" which should fastboot Boot Recovery.img
5. The Device rebooted and Stuck on Logo, Until Now
Anyone pls help, Any comment helpful very appreciated.
Thank You for ur attention.
Remove and re-insert the battery. Then hold volume down + power button and see if the phone boots into download mode. If it does, then connect it to a pc with adb installed and see if adb detects it. If all goes right, you could try to install twrp recovey and afterwards install stock firmware through it. Google search A6000_S056_150924_WC51.zip and download the firmware and copy it to the external sd card then flash using twrp.
Although guessing by the state of your phone it seems unlikely that this will work. But give it a try. Hope it helps.
Thanks! It Worked
