Don't panic..there are a couple of ways to fix it. When I have done similar things the easiest I have found is to download a rom to my computer, remove the SD card from my phone, and connect SD card to my computer using SD/USB adapter. You can then move rom to your SD card using Windows explorer. Put the card back in your phone, reboot to bootloader (power + down volume), select recovery, and flash the rom.
There are also ways to do this using adb commands but I can never remember the commands well enough to tell you off the top of my head. Hope this helps.

yaaa i was thinkin i could that but i dont have an adapter.imma try it with my friends phone. good looks bro

I think to do it using adb. Put the rom zip you want to transfer in the platform-tools folder where your Android sdk is located. Then open a command prompt and type adb push "rom zip name here without quotes" /sdcard. I don't push files often that way but I think that is how. If you can still access recovery you should be able to connect your usb to the pc and see your sd card that way.

Not through the bootloader. Through recovery if you can get to recovery.

SOLUTION: SD Card mounts as read only

I was trying to flash a new rom on my wives Eris and my sdcard would not allow me to write to sdcard, tried to mount while phone running, also using recovery USB toggle. When I tried to push with adb it worked but file wasn't there. Tried to change permission with Ubuntu but didn't work. Any suggestions?

I'll be trying that tmrw, to tired and to pissed off at my stupid dog to deal with her cell phone case right now, thanks.

(Help) Remove PH98IMG.ZIP after flash

Sorry but coming from a DX flashing was very easy. Flashing the Rezound is easy as well but I'm a bit lost on one issue.
When I flash a Kerel a PH98IMG.ZIP is created. I complete all of the steps but then can't get out of HBOOT because the PH98IMG.ZIP is still on my SD Card.
How do you delete the file via HBOOT? Was finally able to get out of HBOOT by putting my SD into my wife's phone and deleting it. But I'd rather delete or at least rename the file via the SDK.
Thanks in advance.
After you flash it, you just simply reboot your phone and delete it... simple as that.
OR, you put the SDCARD into something else, like you did, and delete it.. but you only run into this if you're trying to get into recovery using the VOL-DN + POWER method while PH98IMG.zip is still present in your SDCARD root... if you're simply rebooting the device it will skip HBOOT entirely and just boot into android where you can remove it with any file manager or the terminal emulator app.

If you have a PC. wait until you hit hboot. Don't press anything. Plug into your PC and use the command "adb reboot recovery" AmonRa has a USB-MS mount command that will allow you to mount to your PC and remove the file.
Or as stated above, turn the phone off, remove SD card and boot. One of the guys here had a wicked trick for it but I don't remember how it went.

I'm on a Mac and did do the reboot recovery and it still went to HBOOT. But I am using Amom and was not aware of the USB mount. Assuming that you just go to recovery (if I can) and go to mount option, then I will see the option?
Thanks a ton MrSmith
after the boot.img is flashed it asks if you would like to reboot. after rebooting and your phone is on, mount your sd card, locate the file and then delete.
Found this fix on TeamBAMF. Hope it helps...

Yes, assuming you can get into recovery, you can mount the SD card(to your PC) in recovery and remove the PH98IMG.zip file.
Thanks all, I'll give it a go next time that happens.

Is there any way of avoiding the whole recover to stock? I mean I can get into the Recovery fine, all I need to is somehow transfer the Rom Zip over to Internal Storage.
Is there a Way of flashing a Rom using Fastboot? Or maybe getting the Mount in Recovery Work? If it helps I am using TWR 2.5 .

If you don't know what ADB is you should not be modding your device yet. Learn what it is and how to use its basic functions. Google is your friend. Push is the ADB command to copy files to the device in ADB.

Windows does not seem to recognize as an external device. I am stuck. Initially I wanted to put cyanogenmod 10 on phone but touchscreen doesn't work. I would greatly appreciate any advice.
I would recommend putting the zip file on the root of your SD card and install using twrp. Wipe option first then install.

Just flash meanbean in twrp and then flash again when twrp reboots

My problem is I can't get the zip onto the phone. Am I doing something wrong with the fastboot command? Is there an adb comman for it?
adb push meanbeanromv.zip device
will this work? I'm at work on break now and won't be home til later. Thank you kindly for the replies.

There is no need to use ADB or fastboot to copy a ROM file to your phone.
If you have an external SD card installed in your phone, remove it from the phone and copy the MeanBean ROM zip from your computer to your card (conversely, if you don't have an external SD card you can reboot to the bootloader, select 'Fastboot' from the menu, then connect your phone and PC. The phone should then be mounted via Fastboot USB, and you can copy files from your computer to your phone. Copy & paste the file, more or less). Put the card back in your phone. Hold down the power button until the capacitive buttons begin to flash. Your phone will reboot. Hold down the volume down button until the bootloader menu appears. Use the volume keys to navigate to the recovery option, then press power to select. Go into recovery and select 'Wipe', then 'Advanced Wipe'. Select Dalvik cache, cache, data and system, then wipe. After wiping, use the back button and select 'Install' from the main menu. Find the MeanBean ROM zip and flash it. You'll need to flash it twice-once to install the ROM, and again to install the kernel. Once the installation completes, reboot.
The reason your touch screen doesn't work is because you're on the latest software update, which contains an updated touch panel driver that's only compatible with software version 3.16 and TWRP 2.4.1.0 or higher. The driver isn't compatible with older versions of CM using the 3.0 kernel, also.

I had to re-read his post to see that that wasn't an option since his touchscreen was borked due to the CM installation
Of course, that's an option if he made a backup of his previous setup prior to flashing CM.
OP, always make a backup of your current working setup before flashing a new ROM, in case you ever have an issue with the new ROM and need to go back to something that works.

Great everything worked well. I guess I forgot that I needed to press the mount button for the computer to recognize the phone. Now I need to force roam on verizon prl. Any suggestions?
I can't remember if the option is in the sticky settings zip folder for MeanBean but I'm pretty sure the option to force roam is included in OMJ's mod pack. You can find it in the development section here in the EVO LTE forum. As far as Verizon PRL's, I'll get back to you in a few.

Your PRL is 1? If that's the case then it didn't take. Otherwise, update your profile and reboot to see if that fixes it. It's been awhile since I messed with my PRL so I may not be of much help.

>>>DropBox is your best friend in this case...or Google Drive. I use either one of I'm feeling lazy and don't want to mount my SD card or take out my SD card and use a USB adapter. Since you're rooted, just flash the zip via recovery ( you'll need to flash twice since you're S-ON but the ROM does all the heavy lifting thanks to some baked in goodness that flashes the kernel without the need for Flash Image GUI.
UPDATE: I see that you figured out the mounting issue and you were able to flash the ROM. Good deal.

[Q] Looking for help

So I know realize i shouldn't have attempted rooting or flashing but thats all hindsight. I'm before even a noob but hoping you guys can help me out.
Currently have a m8 att that I think is savable but I cannot figure out what to do next. I never made a backup and I'm stuck without a rom installed. I believe it is rooted and I do have twrp installed but am failing when trying to flash a rom. I'm willing to pay somebody to help me if they are willing to walk me through fixing it. Any help or direction is appreciated. I have been reading different threads but honestly I'm just getting more confused.
Thanks in advance.
Can you boot into recovery? Does adb see your phone when connected to the computer? If so you can push a rom to your phone through adb and then install it. It happened to me. The guide to doing this is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

Yes I can boot onto recovery and adb does see it. Can I just copy a rom to sd card and install from there or does it have to be pushed? I have copied them to sd card and tried but it keeps failing to install.

Yes you could give that a shot but that's odd that they won't install from sd card. Have you tried more than one? Did you flash a GPE rom? May need to look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721435

Does this help at all?
Make sure the MD5 checksum of the ROM .zip you downloaded matches the file on your SD card.
Also, wasn't there an issue with a certain version of TWRP not flashing from an external SD card and the fix was just flashing an updated version? So also make sure you have the right version of TWRP on the device.

Copy a working rom to where your adb and fastboot are located connect phone via twrp run this command
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/. exactly as shown here change nameofrom.zip to the name of the rom your trying to flash...this will put a rom on your internal storage and it then can be flashed via twrp
