I am currently running the awezome rom from uriel. Here is what is going on and what I've tried. I am unable to erase the internal sd either by file explorers or using windows. Everything says it is deleted but returns after a reboot. Ive used fastboot to erase every partition and reflash stock images and it still boots up to the same rom. I tried using rsd lite by flashing an sbf, again the same awezome rom boots up. Apps that I install uninstall after a reboot as well. The recovery will not flash any new roms or format any of the partitions such as system or data or the sd cards. I don't know what to do

Have you tried re-flashing the recovery?

Hey all, just a quick question. I'm unlocked ran a few roms (Alien v2, Aurora ect), now when I try to flash something else it won't flash, it just goes through the steps and acts like it installs but boots up to the same rom just like it was when I powered it down and booted to CWR. I've done factory resets and wiped everything, but when I try to manually format /data it has an error. I'm not sure if this is because I used Faux's kernel and it's converted to ex4 or something? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Which recovery are you using?
Solution that worked for me
I ran into the same problem after trying to do a restore with Rom Manager's CWM. As it turns out, I guess CWM has a bug that will corrupt your data partition whenever you attempt to restore the data partition.
If you have an unlocked bootloader, this is easy to fix. Wipe your data partition and start over with fastboot with the instructions below. If you do not have an unlocked bootloader, unlock it with these instructions. This will override the formatting tool which CWM uses and fix the problem.
WARNING: THIS PROCESS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE'S INTERNAL MEMORY.
Connect your phone in Fastboot mode and run fastboot with the following options:
fastboot -w
then run
fastboot reboot
and the device will restart, completely factory reset and ready to go as long as you have a functioning ROM installed. To avoid this issue in the future, avoid doing normal restores with CWM. Instead do an advanced restore and restore only the boot and system partitions. Not the data partition.
I was running the latest CM7 nightly for a while (release 116). I decided to give CM9 a try. I wanted to go back to CM7 so I tried flashing back but something went wrong. I had backup so I tried restoring that in CWM but it gave me a checksum error.
So I tried out the vanilla ICS 4.0.3 (KP8) build using odin. Used it for a bit and then decided to go back to CM7. I flashed to my original OS using ODIN, rooted the phone. Now, whenever I try to flash anything in CWM, it installs but then just goes into a endless boot sequences. Tried flashing MIUI and CM7 with no luck.
I'm on a rooted KI3 release atm.
How can I completely wipe my phone? I've reformatted my external and usb storage with no luck.

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Root with same CWM as backup .
Boot recovery restore backup .

Thanks! Following the processes. Wasn't able to unmount SD card to format it but /data /system and /cache formatted fine. *crosses fingers*
going to use a freshly downloaded copy of CM7 nightly too incase my old zip got corrupted somehow.
I can install my stock firmware and root it with odin.
But, once I try to install Rom Manager and update CWM recovery things start going wrong. It reboots into the regular android recovery console and fails to install the update.
But, if I battery pull and boot into recovery it boots into CWM recovery 4.0.0.5. I can apply the update.zip ROM manager downloaded. But, then when I try to flash anything it doesn't install properly and I get stuck in an endless boot loop. Can't even boot into recovery. Have to start all over again with ODIN.
Rom Manager is causing you grief.
Had a similar thing happen a while back. I wouldn't use it at all if I were you and stick to using CW Recovery. I don't know the why/how/wherefore, I just know that time I tried to use it, it broke recovery & put me in a bootloop same as you.
While performing a ROM change, I ran into this problem: Using TWRP 2.4.1 i got into recovery and did a clean install as usual. Wipe internal storage, factory reset, system, dalvik, and cache, and format data. Done this plenty of times , with never a problem. Today however, when i went to install from external storage, my phone is not seeing the sd card. I can still boot into TWRP, so I tried formating card, then tried 4 different sd cards, but no luck with phone mounting sd card. How do I get an operating system back on this? ODIN? Please advise. Thank you
Boot into Odin flash a stock ROM
okay, Thanks for the quick reply. I've never flashed a stock rom from odin before. Will that unroot my phone?(not that I mind, just wondering). And also, how do I get into ODIN to flash?
My bad I meant boot into Download Mode (if you can) then flash a stock ROM through Odin. Yes it will unroot you, but yo can easily root your device again. Follow the steps Here to unroot.
My phone will not boot and run normally. It's rooted using framaroot, and running CWM touch for the boot loader. I've backed up the stock rom, using CWM. I have tried wiping data and cache, and then reflashing the backed up stock rom. Either way, my phone will only go into fast boot, but will not start normally from fastboot. I can't access my operating system. What is should my next step be to address this?
When you are in CWM you are in recovery, not the bootloader. Which is a good thing. I would download another rom and load it on to your SD card or use the adb sideload to get it onto your phone and try and flash that. It could possibly have been just a bad download of the rom you are trying to flash.

I am using Spice Dream UNO(Android One).
Bootloader: Unlocked
ROM: Marshmallow Stock ROM
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: TWRP
My phone suddenly started giving continuous Force closes so I restarted it and got stuck in a bootloop. Trying to Wipe any partitions failed with Error 1 and I was unable to copy or write to any partition from TWRP file manager. Nandroid backup and restore failed too.
So, I tried to flash Stock Lollipop ROM using SP Flash Tools and it flashed successfully but now all partitions show 0 MB size except Boot, IMEI and Recovery partitions.
Flashing ROM or restoring backup using TWRP still fails. Changing partition format, wiping, formatting fails too. Manual flashing using fastboot shows success but partition sizes still stay at 0MB. I have tried everything but I am not able to restore the partitions back to normal.
I haven't used the format feature of SP flash tools.
Now starting TWRP or fastboot turns the phone off and I am not able to access them.
Is EMMC of this phone corrupted or not? Can it be fixed?
Anyone? It's urgent.
Please, anybody? I need this phone right now.
