So i was rooted and tried to factory reset (big mistake) and that worked and all but i wanted to make sure all my files were erased. I used to twrp and used the advanced wipe, but i clicked the wrong one and now i have no os. Trying to dig myself out of the hole i flashed a new OS, then for some random reason it didn't flash and no i cant access my recovery. Any help would be appreciated.

Fastboot erase cache, then flash TWRP again via fastboot.

Hi Guys,
I've been flashing for a few years (Desire HD, Sensation XE, One X) and now I have a One X+
I've been treading water carefully and I've managed unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and rooted the device (via TWRP)
I did all this the manual way as I'm skeptical of the all in one (I'm old fashioned like that)
However I have some questions:good:
1. Does having TWRP, the bootloader unlocked affect my ability to receive OWA updates? (I'm still running stock ROM)
2. All that's left now is to do a backup, get a ROM , copy the ROM over, go into recovery, flash the boot.img, wipe the phone then flash the new ROM?
Cheers guys
If you are old fashioned, then why do you go for TWRP not the CWM?
1. This should not affect the ability for the OTA, but I'm not 100% sure.
2. Yes, you do a backup, flash the boot.img, wipe the phone and flash the new rom. Or first you can wipe and install ROM, then reboot in to bootloader and flash boot.img. You can do both ways in TWRP, does not matter. But to not reboot in to rom before you flash both.

Why should he go for an untested, unreliable, unsupported and outdated recovery?
TWRP was again updated couple days ago, I strongly suggest to stick with the TWRP recovery.
I don't know... if he is as he call himself "old fashioned" - CMW if far older recovery, that TWRP. I don't know about the updates, may be there is nothing to update, so they stopped? And TWRP still has some bugs, so everyone waiting for updates. I don't know... all about old fashioned, that was my point.

I went with TWRP because it seems it's the more popular choice, I didn't vouch for the all in one tool kit because I like to do this the manual way.
Currently got a stock ROM, with ROOT + TWRP. I haven't flahsed yet due to the number of issues I see appearing on this forum with so called 'bricked' devices, there was never this many for the desire hd/sensation/One x.
I'm pretty sure the way to flash from this point would be
1. Download ROM and place it on the phone
2. Take a backup via recovery
3. Flash boot.img
4. Wipe phone
5. Install ROM
6 Reboot
Does this sound correct?
just remember NEVER wipe "internal storage" or "format data" within recovery

This is assuredly in direct relation with the majority of those cases.
People want to root and customize with a Swiss knife tool and I can assure you that something is wrong to do it with this tool. If you read all the so called "bricked my..." threads, they all were using this all in one tool, then something wen't wrong and they can't figure out what could be the cause simply because they haven't read, they don't know the basics of those procedures or they don't have any king of prerequisite installed in their computer. The tool is supposedly "doing all for them". Except debugging the procedure when everything goes bad.
It is so simple and rewarding to do all this -the old fashioned way- also if something suddenly goes bonk, it's so easy to know exactly where the procedure is failing.
----
As for your procedure it is all good, in Recovery when you have a backup of your actual ROM, in the Wipe menu select Factory Reset, then after select System. You're all good to flash your new ROM after that.
Don't forget to : fastboot erase cache after your boot.img flashing.
Have fun!

I've got to the point now where I've got CM10 on the phone (not installed) and I've got the boot.img in the same folder as the fastboot.
If memory servers me correctly:
I should boot into recovery
hit fastboot
flash the boot.img via command line
go into recovery
factory reset/wipe cache
install ROM
reboot
Apologies if I'm being very tentative, I'm just making sure. I have done a backup while in TWRP (If the flash goes wrong can I simply restore from recovery using that backup?)
I'm into two minds to do this, I miss installing custom ROM's but I don't want to ruin the phone. If only there was a video tutorial !!!!!
You should have all you need in this tutorial watch the last section of it.

Hi Narakera, I have answered that issue in this thread, have a read and if something is not clear ask in that thread I will try to help you.
Hi Guys
I am new to playing around with android but not to electronics. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16gb (SCH-i905) with current 4g service.
Here is the problem I am having:
It started yesterday, I was browsing the web and the tablet froze and then rebooted. After the reboot programs randomly freeze and crash, if I reboot anything I have downloaded is gone and anything I deleted is back and I can't install or remove apps. I figured I had something corrupted and a factory wipe would fix it. Unfortunately when I perform a factory wipe from the menus or through Android recovery nothing happens. The tablet boots up like nothing was erased. Still has all my accounts, security pin, apps, and so on.
So after that I figured I would flash the tablet, I found the thread here in the development forum with the stock 3.2 image to load through ODIN. I downloaded everything, followed the instructions. ODIN says the flash was successful but when the tablet reboots it still has all my info and is running 4.0.4. I have tried this multiple times. I have tried loading CWM with ODIN but it will not stick.
Any thoughts? If you need more information I will get it, I am just stuck and can't find anything that helps me with this problem!
Thanks for your help!!!
If you want cwm to load after you install it using odin, then you must immediately boot the tablet into recovery without letting it run normally. During the normal boot process, CWM is deleted and the stock recovery is restored. Therefore once Odin finishes installing CWM, hold the volume up button and once you get to the recovery mode you will be running CWM instead of the stock recovery module.
Regards,
Michael
Yes, I did read that in the multiple thread about installing CWM and have gone into recovery directly after ODIN reboots the tablet, however it is still only the stock recovery app.
Any ideas why the factory reset / data wipe won't work?
So after several more hours working on this problem I think I have come across the root cause. I believe that my internal storage has corrupted and is now only mounting in Read-Only mode. From everything I can find online, without having root access previously, this is a no go for fix it yourself.
In case anybody happens on this post down the road, I have been unable to find a resolution and it would appear I must sent the unit back to Samsung for repair.

factory reset through the stock recovery should be able to get you out of it (RO filesystem).

I guess that blows my theory out of the water. I can't make heads or tails with this. No matter what I do, Menu Factory Reset, Recovery Wipe/Reset, ODIN Flash Stock EG01 firmware, ODIN flash CWM Recovery as soon as this device reboots I am right back where I started....... GAH!!!
Thanks for letting me know I'm probably wrong.

it has to be factory reset through the stock recovery (it will format /data), not through CWM.

Yup, done that multiple times. I'll take video of it if you want, Factory Reset in stock recovery has no effect.

HI Pershoot!
I forgot to say thanks for your help!! I appreciate someone smarter than me lending a hand.
That said, I just tried to flash CWM from DB Galaxy Roms/CM10 folder. Upon reboot the tablet still entered stock recovery, I have tried this several times, but this time I took a video. If you feel so inclined to watch it maybe you can catch me doing something wrong....
Again thanks for your help!!

I had to do this on mine. http://techne.alaya.net/?p=8829. I rooted and modified the file described in the steps. Weirdly enough it still booted into stock recovery the first time I installed CWM. I installed CWM one more time and the tablet now boots into CWM.
So i unlock,installed recovery, and rooted my at&t HTC One with no problem. When my new Rom started being very slow I went back into recovery and wiped everything and reinstalled rom. still was being slow so i went to custom wipe in my recovery and wiped all the files on the phone accidentally. so now i have no os and only have TWRP on the phone... nothing else. my computer will not see the device and i cant mount it through the recovery. What the hell do it do? Anything would be very helpful to this NOOB!

Ok, I've flashed a few ROMS Before using different recoverys, etc etc. I was attempting to install the VIPER ROM which requires you to install their "custom" recovery. So i did and rebooted my phone into recovery preparing to install the rom.zip from my SD Card. BUT for some reason it wouldn't read any downloads in my SD & when i went to restore my backup..... it wasn't reading anything there. SO, last night i attempted to remove the "CUSTOM" recovery and restore TWRP..... I removed the "cUSTOM" recovery successfully.... NOw i have a phone with a bootloader(unlocked of course) and NO OS, NO RECOVERY. I've been told to perform a hard factory reset by my friend, but when i attempt to do that it just goes to the HTC quietly brilliant screen, and stays. I was attempting to perform the factory reset through the adb command prompt but i have almost no experience with that method and couldn't find a post about a problem quite like mine. (SORRY if there is and it was overlooked, a bit stressed) I NEED HELP ON WHAT I SHOULD DO....
A. I dont know how to do a HARD factory reset now without using bootloader.
B. DO i have to reset it? Would an RUU work?
C. IS there another way to restory TWRP & My old backups or another custom ROM without LOSING my pictures/music/videos???

A- You can not reset because there no OS what will you reset in a phone without OS
B- If your phone is S-off then you sure you can run RUU.
C-IF you have created the nandroid backup then sure you can backup flash the recovery from which you have made the backup and restore it, and don't factory reset you will lose all your pic.

You should be able to flash a custom recovery from the bootloader. After that, if you cannot access your recoveries, then you should be able to sideload a ROM directly from your computer via ADB.
Good luck!
Hello, I need help. I tried to update my phone to a new ROM and now it is only booting in bootloader and says there is no OS. I have downloaded a RUU that matched, renamed it and put it on my microsd and tried to flash it but it reboots in TWRP. I have a backup and when I try to restore it says Restore Complete Failed---E: Cannot restore System -- mounted read only. I really love the M9 and want it back up and running can anyone please help me get it back functioning? It does not have fastboot option and adb server out of date. Pretty much a noob here. I have flashed other Roms before, but this M9 is proving to be a pain. I have been researching thread after thread and still no luck. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks I figured I will look at how to relock the bootloader without fastboot. I honestly didn't think I could install a rom because I figured most needed MM7 and I dont have that installed which is what happened when I tried to install Viper Rom
Got it working again. I had to restore only the boot and system image. After it rebooted I then restored data and it's back to normal.

i woke up today and my phone died of charge. I plugged in the charger and tried to power up my phone. It was stuck in a bootloop. So, I went into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted, and still didnt work.
I then went to wipe and did the thing where twrp asks to do a factory reset by wiping cache, dalvik cache, and data. Still didnt worl, so i took out the sd card and did it again. Still bootloops. So, i then wiped dalvik cahce, cache, system, and data. Now, my phone is stuck in the white HTC logo with red text. and twrp tells me there is no os installed, are you sure you want to continue?

Hey did you get it to work? Just seeing this post. If you backed up your system and boot images boot into twrp and flash those copies you made before the wipes. See where that gets ya. Hopefully you got it fixed by now.
