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.

I wanted to install a custom ROM for my TF201. So I downloaded the Energy ROM and placed it within the SD Card as update.zip
I flashed CWM and ran the Asus Bootloader Unlocker.
Then using Rom Manager rebooted into CWM, following on screen prompts I installed from SD Card the ROM. The install completeted successfully, the tablet restarted and showed the Eee Pad logo, but got stuck. I've tried cold booting from recovery mode, tried reinstalling the ROM but nothing is working. It is refusing to boot up properly.
Have I bricked the tablet, if so how do I fix it if at all possible?

Did you do an MD5sum check on your download? Also have you tried flashing another rom? And my third and final question did you wipe Dalvik cache, cache, and factory reset before you installed?
And this is more of a preference thing but I'd suggest TWRP over CWM. I've had issues on other devices with CWM but TWRP on the Prime is perfect.

I did a factory reset, then selected wipe Dalvik cache and cache.
How would I flash another ROM? I'm not sure how I can get another ROM onto the device as CWM cannot search external storage, only internal?
I was going to use TWRP but wasn't sure how to get it flashed onto the device, where as CWM was simpler. I didn't do an MD5 check on the ROM
EDIT:
Just tried using Fastboot USB to flash the official ASUS ROM(Tried latest JB and ICS 4.0.3), both write to the device okay but both fail
It says "FAILED <Remote: <>"
On the device it shows: Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)

IT LIVES!!!
Don't know how I did it, but I managed to get TWRP installed on it. Using Fastboot somehow or ADB. It booted into TWRP and mounted external SD card, then flashed an official JB ROM(the Prime was on ICS before) and it has now booted up fine
I will now try and re-flash a custom ROM again(a different one) using TWRP but it is all looking superb
I was worried i'd have to claim on the extended insurance I took out with the retailer
Hi Everyone...
Today, my phone froze while playing radio from InTune so I took out the battery and re-booted it.
It seems that it was not in a bootloop .....
I tried wiping cache, etc.. and still it would not work.
I tried re-installing a backup, even tried installing a fresh rom over top..... Nothing...
No matter what I try, Wiping, or re-flashing a new rom, it just wont get out of its bootloop.
I hope my system partition is not damaged.... because the internal SD is fine.
Im was on Turkbey v17 with my own mods & theme w/ Perseus Kernel 32 .. Everything was working perfect till now.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Do this, this wipes ALL of your data!
- Flash a stock Samsung ROM
- Go in recovery mode, reset your device.
If this doesn't work, then it's very probable your device is broken.

Thanks to the both of you!
I backed up my internal SD content and then reset my phone from Recovery also formatted everything...
I Then installed stock rom - (which still had bootloop) - I formatted the entire thing again & did a Hard reset.
Then I took an old recovery backup and flashed that in CWM.... That did it! It now is working with last months backup.
It seems like the system Cache was completely corrupt and only a full format & reset would fix it.
Thanks again guys.
Problem solved.
I installed a bunch of root apps that ended up putting my phone into a bootloop. I had superuser on it with Titanium backup, and I was able to undo the loop. I am now just stuck on the screen with the triangle after attempting to put a stock ROM on the phone. Its an Epic 4G touch, Im able to get into Recovery and Odin mode. Ive wiped all partitions, dalvik cache, etc. Still stuck. How can I get back into my phone?

Did you install twrp or cwm? Sounds like you wiped the system off and need to install a rom now thru recovery after you put it on your sd card. Dont wipe your sd card. Fallow the steps to install a rom.
i had also face same problem
the i had flashed costom rom and kernal
and also my old backup then also
there is no result
only the in bootloop and open only cwm recovery only
then i had flash custom recovery
it works and my files and app are safe.
Hey guys its been since my first epic 1 that I been here..what I have is an unrooted s3 I updated it and it worked fine but the next day it wont boot past the big s....I was wondering if anyway to undo the update? I dont want to wipe and flash because all my pics and music and some important files that mever made it to my sd card..any help or idea?
Boot to recovery and clear cache and dalvic, probably won't help though.
Next step is always to factory reset, you might get around this by installing custom recovery (Philz recovery is recommended), use that to format system, data etc. before installing your previous stock rom via .zip. That way your internal sd files will still be there and the phone will boot.
Follow guides in general, stickies.
Ok but it wont let me in recovery mode.I can get into the odin but thats it.can I dl cwm to it from the comp in odin mode? Or do I have to root it from there and see what it does?
from the odin mode flash stock rom as per your region. Also please note you will loose your data.
Hi, jd1639 said that if I needed help about my phone, it should be here that I found the answer. So my problem is :
My Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100) won't boot (but I can access recovery mode)
But, I don't know what to do next (wipe data/factory reset doesn't work) and I didn't never set a backup so I can't recover my phone.
Please help

You will need to provide a bit more info for anyone to help. Were you on stock rom? Have you tried to flash a rom? You have root access(custom recovery)? Do you have an external sd card and access to a pc?

When you say you have already flashed a rom, which rom is that? In the installation process, was it successful(was there any error messages during install) Did you do factory reset, format system, wipe cache & dalvik cache before flashing?
Do you want a stock rom via odin or are you trying to install a custom rom via recovery?
