Hei guys
I've a problem i made a backup in recovery mode ( using CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4. :: CF-v1.5), the backup failed and now is my internal sdcard full. As you read in the title my s3 doesn't boot anymore. I tried to install diffrent roms and the stocked rom is well but none of them were able to boot it. I also tried this turtorial (rootgalaxys3iii.com/galaxy-s3-stuck-at-boot/) it didn't work. :crying:
I'm pretty sure it's because the internal storage is full.
pls does anyone have any suggestions ?
is it possible to wipe the internal storage in recovery or to get accsess to the storage be for android is running ?
1. Download & instal Windows PC programs "Android Commander"
2. Boot into CWM Recovery
3. Connect to PC USB & allow/edit for any drivers to instal
4. Run Android Commander
5. You may need to mount the partitions first in CWM recovery / mounts and storage
6. Navigate to internal sdcard, delete what you need to
7. Exit program, connect USB and reboot
8. All else fails, wipe cache/Dalvik, format system and reflash ROM.
Hope this helps

Mount all the partitions in CWM recovery and then run program again.

Hello all, I am a noob. I tried to install my first rom, OpenOptimus 1.48, from this tread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653
I followed the instructions, wich said to get the file on the sd card then partition the card, then I get my phone able to boot in colckworkmod recovery but nothing else, file not found for install the rom because the partition is formated.. We are c urrently 2 noobs that this happened at the end of the posts on that tread.
So this is a kind of catch-22, now the compuiter wont recognize the usb, wich is the best method to get it working again now ? I am currently trying to get adb, if someone knows the treads to look for I'll be happy.
Thanks from Canada
Eh, the instructions do not say any such thing like to put something on SD card and then format/partition it. Anyway,
Either download the SDK, connect the phone via USB cable and do
Code:
adb push openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip /sdcard/openOptimus-build-X.XXX.zip
and flash it from recovery like the instructions say,
or simply remove the SD card from phone and use a card reader to copy it there in PC.
Just mount usb storage from recovery and connect it to pc. The card will be recognized and then copy the zip file.

at the first page, instructions looks like that :
"
4.Go to Advanced>Partition SD Card
512 EXT(Do not create it if you do not want a2sd)
0 Swap
Remainder FAT32
5.Go into the main recovery menu and select "wipe data/factory reset"
6.Go to Mounts and storage>format /system
7.Go into the main recovery menu and select "install zip from sdcard"
8.Select "choose zip from sdcard"
"
So then I got the file on , then formated, so no more recovery . I have clockworkmod 3.1.0.0 installed.
I am trying to get ADB working, will try that. But looking at the instructions, is it me that is not understanding them well enough or are they written strangely ?
Thanks ;-)

Yes, the instructions do say that, but instead of blindly following them you should have realized that after partitioning the sd card all data would be deleted.
Anyway, the way to do this is after partitioning, select mount usb storage in recovery and connect it to ur pc(while still in recovery). The card will be recognized and you can copy the zip file. Then you can flash the zip.

I assumed he already tried that and it did not work (b/c of the "now the compuiter wont recognize the usb" part of the OP). Anyway, if not, then that is obviously the most easy way to get the file there.
Man I think your stock rom should still be working. Reboot and it should boot into your previous rom. And USB should work. Even in recovery u can mount sdcard.

I got a sd-adapter...
Well, no usb-mount while in recovery, adb is complicated to install and so I went to the store and got a micro-sd adapter and a new card with more capacity. Then no more complication to install the rom to the card & phone..
Thanks folks
I just switched to the Neutrino v2.2. Tried GT first then the EE. both are not going past the dualcore boot screen. I formatted my SD card before installing the rom. Not sure what i need to do to fix this. I can still get into recovery also but IDK how im going to put another rom on the sd card to try another one any suggestions?
This is a known issue with Neutrino at the moment. All you need to do is when it gets to the Boot screen just pull the battery and boot again, should work after that.

tried that 2x will try again..
Also, I noticed you said you put it on your sd card. I think you need to install it from the internal storage. Just boot into recovery and go to "Mount storage" and select to mount the internal storage and plug into your computer. Should be able to move files then.

you can move files w/o being able to get into the rom?? btw i tryed battery pull and still stuck at the boot screen :-/
I can see my sd card but my "g" drive is not avail..
Yes. Which recovery are you using? When you boot into recovery there should be "- mounts and storage", select it and at the bottom there should be "mount USB storage"

yup seen it and did it. I see my SD card in mycomputer but the G drive wich is my internal is not accessable
That's weird because "G" usually means External for me. Anyways, try selecting "mount emmc" in the same menu

actually mounted all of them so i knew i got the right 1 lol maybe that is the problem is the emmc folder..... is there a way i can "reflash" ext 4 or 3? i still have the emmc but if im not mistakin thats what the ext 3 or 4 creates.
That's just how CWM reads the file structure. If you can access it then it will work when flashing by selecting "install zip from internal storage".... I think. It's been a while since I have had to use it that way. But if you can access the internal storage then try putting the ROM zip there and retry flashing from internal

Thats the problem. I cant access the internal i just can access the sd card where I already put the zip file :-?
Well, you can put another ROM zip there that can be flashed from external. Also, make sure to perform the wipes necessary, either through fastboot or recovery. Hope you get it worked out.

could the problem lie with formatting the EMMC?
Possibly, at this point you're probably looking at a full wipe anyways so it shouldn't hurt anything.

I appreciate all your help bro
full wipe as in fact reset/delete cache and dalvik if so i do that each and every time I switch roms
Yeah, that's what I meant. Although, some people recommend doing the full "fastboot erase [partition]" wipes if you are going from a Blur based ROM to a CM7 based ROM, and vice versa.
boot into fastboot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot
NOTE: when using this method you should already have the ROM zip on your phone and when you give the "reboot" command be prepared to boot directly into recovery (by holding Vol down after pressing "Enter") as this method erases the system.

Hi
Firstly you need to format your sd card via a card reader and make sure before formatting u need to backup all its content to a folder on ur PC.If u r unable to get it to your PC then it may be a dead sd. If works.... Then copy the nandroid backup in your sd card... hope u had taken before flashing...... if not then try official rom in zip format (flashable format....search xda).
Copy the zip in the sd card.
Then install the sd card in the phone again...
Reboot into recovery.
Before installing u have to:
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Wipe data n settings (factory reset)
Format /system
Then install zip from sd card
Locate the rom...
...wait
flashing done
Reboot n enjoy....
NOTE..::::------------->>>>>>>>>>>
If in case your sd card not works after formating then its dead.
If somehow u r able to detect your sd card in your Pc. Then try the following commands to fix it through your windows PC:
Open command prompt
Type:------
FORMAT E: (suppose e: is the drive letter of your sd card, change the drive according to your pc)
After then.....
CHKDSK E: /f / r
This may be bring your sd card to life....
If your recovery not works then try to flash another recovery..... if still facing errors while flashing. Then u need to push recovery to your phone via fast boot mode through adb... search the xda for full illustration...:thumbup:

In clockwork recovery I press mount USB storage to get the storage to show up, but nothing is coming up on my laptop. I need to a flash a new rom and my internal memory has been formatted.
I also can't boot up in my current rom, it just freezes on boot
Please help!
It's normal doesn't mount USB storage with the original CWM/kernel. To solve it install/flash another one (Siyah, Fluxxi, etc).
About it doesn't boot your current rom, back-up all the information and format/wipe everything.

I'm having the same problem, only with a HTC One M8. When I connect to my Imac and select "Mount USB Storage" , I get nothing on screen. I'm using an Imac with Yosemite.
I've attempted to flash a newer version of cyanogenmod on my phone (10.1.3 to 11). I'm using TWRP 2.6.1.0
I can not boot because I've wiped the phone (dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache), and I suspect the ROM I have is corrupted but I can't connect it to my computer and transfer the file via USB because I have no ROM installed and can not boot. I also can't take the SD card (since there's non) and put the file that way.
My phone is Oppo find 5
My root file flashing was successful, but installation of the ROM cm-11-20140204-NIGHTLY has failed. I assume the file was corrupted, but I have no way to find out what it is.
I now realize my mistakes, like wiping the system unnecessarily.
Is there any way to get another file on the device? any other suggestions?
Also, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was not able to find the right place. I apologize in advance.
Eyal,

Check that thread, set up adb and push a ROM to the internal sd of your phone via adb. You can use adb in recovery mode (I could in CWM, dont know about your recovry) so if you can boot into recovery, you can push the rom. (There is info on the thread about adb pushing/pulling)

Cwm has an option to mount storage to PC in mounts & storage menu
Check if twrp has the option
You can mount it that way:good:
