hi guys ... im not sure what exactly is the problem so i will give as much detail as possible :
i just flashed to Cyanogen Mod 7.0.0 RC4 with radio 7.05. the problem started when after i want to upgrade to 7.0.2 of CM7. i tried going into recovery as per usual but instead of the terminal showing up normally, it appeared for a split second before dissappearing and shows me the triangle with ! sign ( when the terminal dissappeared , my windows popped up some unable to install qualcom drivers ... i don't know what drivers they are .. but i think its USB )
i tried to reboot by taking out the battery and putting back in, only to be stuck in a boot loop.
I am able to get out of the bootloop by connecting the usb cable and either going recovery ( where it wont even show the triangle with ! sign , it will just power on normally , loading CM7 ) or going to "clear storage" and choose "no" while usb is connected , it will reboot and start loading CM7 as per normal.
so after it loads CM7 RC4 normally ... i tried going into my sdcard to re-place the 7.0.2 zip ROM but i cant even connect to my sdcard via USB ... in settings it showed "Unavaliable" and there is an erase option but when i tried to use it ... it only shows "SD card removed"
i know this is a rather complex problem but i would be greatly thankful if you can help me out. Thank you guys so much!
To summarise :
Bootlooping unless connected via USB and going into recovery / choosing no when asked whether to clear storage
Unable to access my SD card when successfully booted up
if it helps* ( i think i wiped ONLY the dalvic cache ( no cache/factory format ) before the recovery terminal dissappeared ) , treat this info as volatile ... i can't remeber if this statement is true or not.
Sound slike sd card failure...WHY?
If your using an ext partition some apps or cache are there,therefore failure of sd can make a bootloop..
Plus not booting into recovery properly could mean it cant use the update.zip to boot recovery..
Try another sdCARD see if that works,ive killed 2 cards and had similar problems
... and remember.. No questions in Dev. section...

Hi
I am on Wolfs TW Gingerbread. I went in xrec and formated system + cache and clicked on fix permissions. Then I have restarted the phone and it stucks on the Sony Ericsson logo. I can't even enter xrec.
But the real problem is that my usb doesn't work and i cannot connect the X10 to my laptop. Is there a way to fix it somehow without connecting to a computer?

You have formatted system???!!! That an anwer why you stucked on SE logo
Now you have to download ROM again, place its zip on sdcard and flash it again. You dont need usb cable.
How to install it? I can't enter xrecovery

You have to get your usb port fixed, I don't think you can enter anything since you've formatted your system.
Follow these steps because you cannot connect your phone to the computer:
1. Get your memory card in a card reader.
2. Connect it to PC and copy the rom file in the memory card.
3. You cannot enter recovery because maybe you formatted your memory card too, find a tutorial on how to install x-recovery manually on youtube and install it in the memory card using the card reader.
4. Place the card back in your phone and press the back key as soon as you see the SE logo. You should now be able to install the rom via zip in x-recovery .
I hope this detailed info would helps you.

I am almost surethat this wouldnt help him. X-recovery (and other recoveries) are placed on system partition (you can see that manual installation of xrec was to place some files and chmod in system root FS), so he formated recovery also.
As told before,now you need to fix usb port first. Because only solution is flashmode flash with Flashtool. No other way dude, sorry..

Well, atleast this will help you get back to stock again. Even with a broken usb port.

Thank you to all of you
cant find the delete button
anyways the device is fully hardware bricked.
it was a 1.4.2 oem off the shelf nook
it showed rev3 for the omap processor
thats pretty much all the hardware details i remember:
How i permanently bricked it:
after having Lag0matic help me i recovered the 1st time i soft bricked it by using adb to wipe the mmcmlk0 memory card, then re-partition it.
i used the ubuntu wipe and restore image to flash back to 1.4.0 that is included with the ubuntu tool
i rebooted the device and skipped registration and made sure it worked
i used sdformatter to wipe a 16bg pny card i bought from walmart (it is a 4 rated speed card)
i placed the 8-16gb cwm extracted files from the 8-16 cm7 recovery img to the card
i placed the teamb-beta-1 zip onto the card
i placed gapps onto the card
i then booted off the SD card with the cm7 recovery image and installed the teamb-beta1 zip successfully
i factory wiped as recommended
i cleared the cache as recommended
i cleared the dalvik cache
i then installed gapps via the same way
i removed the sd card
rebooted
installed some video players (pretty much all of them that had more than 4.5 stars to try play HD video
it woudlnt play hd video
noticed the hardware players would not enable hardware codecs, and if forced would hard lock the thread and force me to hard boot it
gave up on that, copied some games from my htc-glacier over to my sd card for the nook (i copied the whole sd card from the phone)
played some games but the saved games would not load
copied them to the internal "sd card" (data space)
still would not load saved games
figured to clean install it again
using the normal memory card manager (NOT that evil tophat rommanager) i formatted the sd-card, and the internal card by dis-mounting them then formatting them
made the cwm bootable, added the rom and gapps again (same versions)
...
device will not boot with the cable plugged in
unplugged the cable, it boots, but the memory card will not boot the device. it locks up on the "non animated" boot screen
plug the cable back in, still wont boot from it
take out memory card
now it boots with the cable plugged in. wierd. oh well. put stick in and hit the N button to load the recovery manually
recovery will not load from the sd card. "bad image, crc etc"
/huh i think/
reboot again, no sd card, hit n to go to the internal recovery
internal recovery loads, shows me the same errors as before indicating the partitions are gone ... again ....
/me = scream and swear .... alot
go to recovery
recovery cannot write to data, system. emmc, only boot AAAAND! it no longer says happy errors, now it says omap.c can't mkfs on .... blah (alot of things)
/me = oh ****, it is referring to itself as the cpu... not a good sign/
fire up adb
adb shell = no devices
/me = no biggie/
stop and restart adb kill/start server like last time to pick the unit up
adb devices = ur boned dude..... no devices
/me = ooooohhh ****/
look in device manager
the generic adb device entry ... is not listed...
/crap self/
re-install windows to seperate box
adb still wont see it
reboot issues are getting worse... now it keeps doing the soft-recovery for BN.... then hanging.
/DURP/
after that last reboot and "self heal attempt" it is fully durped.
it will not boot if the usb cable has power to it, be it computer or wall plug
it will not boot from the sd card. and 50% of the time with the sd card in it wont power at all.
by not powering up, the lcd stays dead, no flicker, no backlight so this is not a blank screen, or hung.
so. the unit may be defective... not sure. but theres my story. and a big note of warning.
thank you mega,Lag and others... but i think the unit is going back, and i think im opting for a refund. i learned alot, but the device just makes me feel uneasy in its current state. maybe i will pick a used one up when cm9 hits stable beta, but cm7 was excellent but as i discovered not quite enough (video playback, i did not realize that gingerbread had issues with mkv which is 99% of my video collection).
Hey,
I've flashed Omega 33.2 and Siyah 1.8 kernel.
I used 5.5.0.4 CWM recovery (didn't change the recovery, just flashed Omega and right after Siyah).
I then flashed something from Omega kitchen that I guess made some problems with the ROM, so I got in a bootloop. Not a problem - I will just flash the rom again and everything will be ok, but unfortunately I deleted the rom from my phone memory. In those situations I just go inside recovery and mount the sdcard, so I went into mounts and storage -> mount /sdcard, I connected to my computer (windows 7) but nothing happened. So I tried to install kies, but it didn't help too. I also tried the same in Ubuntu (maybe it's mass storage and not MTP because from what I know linux doesn't support MTP), but it didn't worked.
I end up taking my external sd card, putting the rom on it, and flashed the zip from the external sd card.
I don't want to do it every time I want to put something in my phone through recovery. How can I fix this problem? (Yes, I tried more than one USB slot and cable).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply.
Tried TWRP, CWM touch 6, but it didn't work. I tried to mount external sd card and it didn't work also. Tried windows7, ubuntu (I think it's mass storage so it should work), and another computer with windows7, but didn't work in neither of them.
Also, tried 'adb devices' when the phone is plugged in in recovery and it didn't see the device too. Does adb suppose to work when I'm in recovery? (I'm developing Android apps so I'm sure that adb is 100% working when the phone is on).
In CWM 6, I press mount /sdcard and after I press the text is still mount /sdcard (doesn't change to unmount), and when I press mount /ex-sdcard it change to unmount /ex-sdcard but doesn't appear on the computer also.
Does anybody else is facing the same problem? very annoying :S
Nobody faces this problem too..? :/
same issue here!!! trying to get some help as I don't have an SD card available right now
I've recently flashed my phone with Nemesis kernel using Flashtool, and installed "MoonBreaker 3.5". Unfortunately it is horribly, horribly broken so I have tried to do a full wipe and reinstall. This also failed to work, and somehow wiped my internal storage, so now I have no kernels or roms available on this phone.
The phone boots, but the market doesn't work, downloads app doesn't work, there is no file explorer and no network connection. The phone will not mount as usb storage when booted, or when in CWM recovery. When booted it gives me an "MTP USB Device - Failed" message after attempting to install drivers (win7 and winxp). When in CWM it does nothing at all.
Therefore my question is, how on earth do I get files onto my phone now?

What model of phone do you have? I had the same problem with the Sola (I insanely forgot copy .zip on sdcard before flashing bootloader) and i solved copying the archive on external SD then with CWM selecting Install zip from external sd. Of course this method is not valid if you have Xperia U. In this case or in another case where you haven't any external SD slot try reading this guide.
I have an Xperia P, sorry the forum denied my edit for some reason. Thanks for your ideas!
I've had some success booting into fastboot then, while it's connected, switching to flash mode. Stock kernel reinstalled! Thanks for your help!!

So today I was looking at memes on Reddit and the pictures stopped loading. I was almost out of storage space so I thought maybe it had finally filled with memes and that a restart would delete some temporary files (?).
But after the restart it's stuck on the booting animation.
I am using Lineage OS 8.1, been using it since April with no issues.
I'm trying to mount it so I can copy the files but there seems to be some issue:
If I plug it in while stuck on the animation it doesn't show as a file system
If I use my desktop (Win 10) and plug it in using the mount option in TWRP it doesn't show up either
If I use my laptop (Win 10)and TWRP mount it shows up and I can seem to delete files but I can only access the sd card and I can't put files in there
If I use my laptop (Manjaro Linux) I can mount the drive and list all the files but I can't read or add anything.
So... I can't copy my files, I can't update to a new ROM and I can't boot.
I also tried using "adb devices" on my desktop pc but the phone doesn't show up in there if I'm in fastboot. It only shows up in recovery and bootloop modes :S
No idea what to do here.

Hey! I don't like asking this but... did you try switching your phone off and turning it on again ?
Okay, if you can access TWRP then try wiping dalvik and cache and it might just do the trick!
Also, try removing the SD card if you have one and restart. Corrupt SD cards can be the culprits behind implausible errors. Another thing you can try is draining battery to 0% and charge completely and try switching the phone on again.
Now these are just some easy and dubious fixes that might work and most likely won't. But just give it a try. If that didn't work we can try something else :
If you can access TWRP which I think you can because your phone is stuck at "boot animation" and not the boot logo. You can simply flash another ROM. I don't understand why you say that you can't do that.
1. Just take an SD card, copy any ROM you want to install.
2. Insert the SD card and reboot to recovery.
3. Flash the zip and you're done
If I'm missing something do let me know. Good luck!
