This person who I used to be friends with my group stole a bunch of things from my friends house including my phone. I called up O2 and got my phone barred.
Cut the story short after a few threats everyone got their stuff back. I got my phone back but everything was wiped and the sim card inside the phone was gone. Also whenever I opened an app or tried to access the gallery 'No external storage available' popped up or app x has stopped working.Immediately I tried to reset my phone to a back up on TWRP. At the time I was running AOKP. When that happened I got stuck on the HTC logging screen.
So I formatted the whole phone, wiped everything and when I got home I installed the stock recovery and tried to factory reset through bootloader. Then I installed TWRP and then I flashed CM10.1.2 rom and also the kernel to go with it, along with the appropriate gapps.
The problem still persists till today, any help would be much appreciated. I tried to google it and solve it through that (stock recovery etc), I am clueless as what to do. Usually I always find a way to solve these things but I've been trying for ages.
Is it because the phone itself is barred? because now its getting signal again.

Connect ur phone on pc
Do adb devices
If u had installed all the drivers properly u ok find ur device
Now do "adb shell"
It ok enter ur phone storage
Now type "cd /sdcard"
Create a folder named 0 inside sdcard that's where ur sdcard files will be in 4.2.2
So do "mkdir 0"
Now open ur camera app to confirm whether ur storage is working
Hope it helps

For './adb devices' its just blank and for './adb shell' its 'error: device not found', ill try and find a way around this and get back to you.
thanks for the support
Turned on developer options and that fixed the problem. but now when I do adb devices it comes up on the list but says its 'offline' and with adb shell it says 'error device offline'. I tried turning off developer options on and off again and rebooting the phone but the problem persists. ill keep looking for a solution.

Try "ls" command after the adb shell

I made a folder in sdcard/ named '0' through the twrp recovery terminal command thing. But still as soon as the phone loads it says 'google play has stopped working' and the camera app doesn't work. I tried the method using it from my computer but it said something on the lines of 'You are not allowed to do this'
could this all be because my phone is still barred?

No if your phone was barred you would have no signal. It wouldnt affect how your phone works. Your best bet would be to find a compatible RUU and flash that.

Fixed it Whoever got my phone managed to mess it up real bad. Went back to an old rom and flashed the boot.img. This time after I sideloaded the rom file using ./adb sideload filename.zip I installed it again through TWRP (Install - sideload.zip) , this is what I didn't do last time. Now it works beautifully. Going back to either CM10 or AOKP now.
Thank you all very much for the help!

I have my phone rooted and currently am running kaos v31. I want to install version 32 but when I wipe the phone and try to flash v32 it tell me error. All i did was download version 32 and put it onto my sd card so im not quite sure if im skipping steps or anything
Try re downloading, it's possible you didn't get a complete d/l of the rom. Hope that works.
Post in Q&A please or the roms thread would appropriate as well
Sent from an Eris running in beast mode aka KaosFroYo v32 using the XDA App
Try doing it again without wiping and come from 31. If you did that wipe, and if you did both try redownloading it.
What does the error say?
My suggestion would be, as suggested above, redownload v32, rewipe and reflash. If you still get the error, make sure to post the error you get. Good luck

Is your ADB working correctly? Is USB Debug mode set to "ON" on your phone? If you are unsure, go to terminal, cd to the "/tools" folder, and type "adb devices". Your device should pop up. If not, you need to get the appropriate driver for adb, which comes in the HTC SYNC...
http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-eris-verizon/downloads/
That should clear it up. If your adb IS working correctly, Disregard my post. Just trying to throw some ideas here!
I've never used ADB to push a ROM to my SD card. I just mount the phone, drag, drop, enjoy. Never had an issue this way
Alright, so this is going to take a bit of explaining, please bear with me.
I got this phone a couple of weeks ago, subsequently rooted it, and shortly thereafter decided upon Viper for my ROM. After playing around for a bit, I took a look at Beastmode kernel yesterday. I backed up my phone, installed the new kernel, and everything went to hell shortly thereafter. Upon rebooting, my phone no longer detected a mounted SD card. Along with this, it also doesn't have working audio. I tried rolling back to my restoration point, but I cannot find it now. While digging through directories in recovery, I've found two things out.
1: There is now a storage/emulation/legacy folder with (almost) every folder that was in mnt/sdcard.
2: My restore point is gone, and I don't have the original kernel on my phone
I figured this wouldn't be THAT big of a problem, connect my phone to my PC, go into ADB and try to push the stock s-off kernel. Next set of problems.
1: /mnt/sdcard is showing as a non-directory, insists it doesn't exist.
2: storage/emulation/ shows as read only, and all lower subdirectories are coming up as not existing (I believe it to be an issue with folder naming, legacy is actually 0 on my file explorer on the phone, I think?).
Where I stand now::
At this moment, I have the HTC Droid DNA Toolkit running, the stock s-off Kernel, and a phone that doesn't cooperate with anything.
Also; I tried downloading the .zip directly on my phone, but because it doesn't think there's an SD card, it's refusing to let me download it. It lets me download apps from the market, though.
Any ideas?
PS! Forgot the biggest SNAFU in all of this. On my phone are about 200 pictures from my vacation which I hadn't put onto my computer yet because I am an imbecile. This is keeping me from wiping the phone down to brass tacks and starting all over. If someone can find a way for me to pull said pictures from my device, I can wipe it and see if that helps.

Have you tried using an OTG cable to mount a flash drive? That's what I do when I backup/flash anything, I keep all my roms, kernels, backups, basically anything flashable on a flash drive, and use an OTG cable in CWM.
For the pictures:
Step 1; adb reboot recovery
Step 2; adb devices (to make sure it's detected)
Step 2.1: If your phone isn't detected, open sideload in recovery, adb devices again, then close sideload
Step 3: adb pull /sdcard/ C:\<username>\Desktop\sdcardbackup\
To fix everything else you'll probably need to wipe everything and flash a new rom.
EDIT: For future "snafus" the sdcard is on /sdcard/ not /mnt/sdcard/ because it's on internal memory, not mounted memory.

Well, I feel silly for that confusion. I've pulled everything from the sdcard, which honestly mattered more to me than fixing the phone. I'll putter around with getting the ROM and kernel operating correctly in the next couple of hours.
UPDATE!
Once I had the adb pull command corrected for me, pushing the new ZIP on there was an instant success in recovery. SD card exists correctly once again, installed Viper ROM over, full functionality once more.

you can always do this too as long as the device is recognized by adb
Code:
adb shell
this will get you into the actual device where you can navigate around by using the " cd /dir_name " command and to go back up a dir use " cd .. " (a space and 2 "."s are needed) or just " cd " to get back to the starting point... if you know how to navigate through a unix terminal then you will know what to do here...
some other useful commands
Code:
ls, ls -a, ls -l, cd, cp, mv
ls = list (lists files/folders) "-a" means all, "-l" just makes it look neat and laid out better.
cd = change directory aka "dir"
cp = copy /path/to/file.ext /path/to/where/you/want/to/save/it/file.ext
mv = move (same as ^ ) except it just moves it and doesn't copy
oh and to exit adb shell just type "exit"
Honestly, just grab a working kernel. And use fastboot. Especially since you're s-off
fastboot flash boot boot.img should get you back in working order.

You need to make sure sure you have all the Android files installed on your PC which I am sure you do. Also, you need to specify where the pac_tf201 build is located. This is what I did to push the version onto my TF201 in Recovery:
adb push c:/pac_tf201_4.3.Build-1_20131003.zip /sdcard/
I did the same with gapps but I made sure that both zip files (rom and gapps) were directly on my C drive and not anywhere else. Let me know if you need anymore help as I just barely did this a few days ago. Took me hours to get it but I have learned quite a bit from it. :good:
Edit: Make sure your directory is pointed to your sdk platform-tools folder as well in CMD.

This is what I'm curious about too. If there were photos on this SD card before you put it in the device, they will remain intact after a security wipe.
This is unclear to me based on the OP: You got the Bold as a graduation gift and would like to start using it i assume. (I also got this bold a couple days ago after my HTC One S died, bringing me to Blackberry after years of faithful service on Android. The 9900 is a great phone)
When you tried to use the phone, you were prompted to input your BBID credentials, which subsequently failed repeatedly. The phone has since been security wiped due to too many failed attempts. Upon opening the phone, the microSD that you had in there is gone.
Long story short... I have a non-rooted SGH-M919 (Samsung Galaxy S4) with a completely broken screen. USB to PC transfer doesn't work, it's set to charge only, Kies doesn't see it...etc.
I have found that it's still on my wifi and on my google play account so I can install apps from the website. Does anybody know any apps I can install that will instantly let me access my files (and transfer them) without needing to do anything on the phone's side? Remote access would be great but I'd settle for file sharing even if only on the local network.
Any other ideas would be great! I need to recover pictures and contacts that aren't on google, or the SD card. New phone doesn't take the SIM.
You're probably not going to like this answer, but I recommend you simply have the screen fixed. If MTP isn't enabled and you can't enable it, and it's not rooted... There's just not much you can do.

That's not too helpful... I found a (paid) app that attempts to recover files from the phone's download mode, which I think I could get to. There's gotta be other (free) options out there if download mode has access to files. Also as I said, I'm sure there's some app out there that shares files on the local network. I just need a name if anybody has one.
Thanks for answering still... but I know there's options.

Oh! Well if you can get to recovery, you may be able to pull the files off the device or back it up entirely.
Search "adb from recovery" and see if that gets you anywhere. If you *can* use adb, you might be able use adb's "backup" command to back up whatever you have on there.

No custom recovery and no root access so I don't think adb will work for me... will it? I've confirmed USB debugging is off.

Well, I've never used adb from recovery before, but a quick search makes me think it could be possible. If you're desperate to recover the data, I' m assuming anything is worth a try.
Now most of the time, stock recovery doesn't have adb access, but if you can manage to unlock your phone, you would be able to install CWM recovery and boot to it.
However, this is unlikely, as IMO, the SGS4 is one of the most painful phones to try to unlock, especially when you don't have access to the screen.
soo.. I am trying adb right now. I did...
adb shell
cd /sdcard/DCIM/Camera

and all my pictures are listed! I tried doing a pull at that point and it says device not found... which it clearly is since it's reading the info. Any idea what my next step is? mounting or something? I feel like I'm so close!

BOOM! got it! I read one post online that said "stay out of shell for pull" I reopened my adb window and just did "adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera" and all is recovered now. Thanks and I hope this post helps somebody in the future!

Hi, I have a problem flashing stock rom on my P10. I installed twrp-3.1.0-0-P10.img and in my attempt to create a back-up, and begin my upgrade and root the device, I inadvertently wiped the firmware. I can switch on, toggle the volume, I even get a screen with the option to restart or power off, I can access twrp and the bootloader etc but I have a blank screen and no interface.
I have tried flashing several full firmware images but they all fail during the process and I get the following error message:- updater process ended with ERROR: 9 Error installing zip file '/external_sd/dload/update_full_VTR-L09XX.zip.
I'm unsure which full firmware build image I should be using. ( My model is VTR-L09
I'd be grateful for any help or advice you can offer.

Try a custom ROM and put it on your internal storage!
Thanks for your help, do you have an suggestions as I'v struggled to find anything. When you say internal storage I take it to mean flash the rom through the adb?

No. The internal storage is the storage on your phone. The external storage is the sd card you add to it. As for the ROM, I couldn't find a custom one. Just grab the stock firmware and flash
Thanks for this, are there any tutorials on how to do this? I tried dragging files in from my desktop onto the phone's internal storage but it won't drop the file. Really appreciate your advice.
Hi there, I have been trying to drag the zip file onto the internal SD card, it starts to copy and then it sits on copying without anything happening. I then get a 'this PC is not responding' in the window. It then shuts the window down, reloads my screen and when I re-open the Huawei folder on the PC the the internal SD drive disappears entirely with only the 'cust' file remaining.

Requirements -
1.) PC and USB does
2.) ADB drivers
3.) Your phone's drivers
4.) And a custom ROM (or stock ROM, but I figured you'd want a custom)
5.) You're brain to suck all this in
- First step is to install all your drivers first.
- Next boot your phone into TWRP
- Next plug your phone up
- Now go where ADB is installed (check the ADB installer for the directory)
- Place your stock or custom ROM in that folder
- Rename it to something simple, i.e. rom.zip (make sure it doesn't say rom.zip.zip)
- Now hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder (make sure nothing is highlighted.) And press "open command window here"
- Next type "ADB devices" to ensure your device is recognized. (Of nothing pops up, ensure you're in recovery and have the cable plugged in. You might have to find the button for "MTP" somewhere in TWRP and enable it.
- Now all you have to do it type in the command prompt : "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip" And press enter.
Then just click install in TWRP and find the zip, select it and swipe that sucker to flash
Hope I helped!
Thanks so much, this is nothing like the fun had with my nexus 5!
I followed your instructions, but after I typed the command prompt it brought up the list of commands and nothing flashed into the SD card on TWRP. Would it have anything to do with the build? I've opted for stock as there's not much out there for custom, I read on here that the last 2 updates weren't released so I've just found one closest to my oem.

I've opted for stock as there's not much out there for custom, I read on here that the last 2 updates weren't released so I've just found one closest to my oem.

Did you rename it to rom.zip?
Yes, exactly as your suggestion. Really hoping its fixable as I'm not sure I like FunkyHuwei's prices!!

Just a softbrick m8. Should be fine... Before pushing, does adb detect your phone? (Type "adb devices" and see if anything pops up. Should show a bunch of characters or something.
Thanks for the reassurance! Yes adb devices command works, I get the 'list of devices attached' dialogue, serial number and states its in recovery mode

Okay, so it should work fine. Depending on how big your ROM is, it could take awhile. After you type in the command you should see a flashing flash under the command, bottom left. If that's flashing that means it's pushing the file. Once done just click install, then make sure your on your internal storage, and scroll the the bottom and click rom.zip and install
Yeah I tried it again but it just brings up text straightaway after I hit enter... Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32 Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android and then a long list of commands.

Thanks so much - giving this a shot now.
Ok, so got the files onto the devices SD card but it won't install the file...I'm getting an ERROR 9 code.
