Yesterday I tried to install CyanogenMod7 on my phone, which failed miserably, and since I have been reading and trying all sorts of things, without success.
At the time it had CF-Root installed, and a ROM manager installed from Market.
I tried installing CM7 through the user interface, the phone rebooted, and then it hung at the Samsung logo screen, and has never gotten past that point again.
I have booted into Android Recovery System (3e) to attempt to install CM7 from there, but i cannot see my SD card in the ARS(3e). It claims to be showing the SD cars, and that it is in the /sdcard folder, but the contents of the folder are those of the internal storage.
So basically I am stuck at the boot logo, I can access Download Mode and Recovery Mode, but that's it.
Oh, and the SD card is 2 weeks old, and has been working perfectly.
Does anyone here have any advise on how I could get my phone up and running again?
It sounds like you haven't flashed the kernel.
I did flash the kernel by installing the CF-root for my device using ODIN.
I have since installed the stock kernel again, to see if that helped.

Usual steps are to follow the instructions .
You require a CWM 4 or above root and CWM .

I was following the instructions, and I have done this before with other Android phones.
My problem is that when I am trying to select the Update.zip, the directory listing shows my internal storage, and not the SD card. So I am unable to select an OS to install.
REPEAT
You have
I have booted into Android Recovery System (3e)

The problem is repeating.
I have tried installing CVM 4e, but I am still left with a phone that hangs on the initial Samsung logo, and where I am unable to access the SD card from the CVM.

he is stuck on the bootloader screen and cannot access cwm 4e, the best he can do is the stock recovery 3e as he is trying to flash the update located on the external sdcard which can not be accessed from recovery 3e as it is not seen only internal sdcard can be seen in recovery mode.

Can you see your phone's directory when you are plugged into the computer.
If yes, move the update into the root of the internal sdcard and use which ever recovery you have to flash on to the phone>
I can not see the phones directory when I am plugged into the computer, but I copied CM7 onto the phones internal directory just in case. So it is there, but it has the original file name, and I get errors, when I try to install it from CVM 3e or 4e.
If by "recovery" you mean something other than CVM7, I have no way of accessing the phones internal storage, as far as I am aware of.
Boot loop thread has instructions go back to a clean stock rom and flash 4 e recovery and root .
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
i just followed those instructions to the letter and CM7 installed no problem .
Wiped phone clean installed a stock rom then rooted with cwm 4 e .

I have CM7 and MoDaCo on my internal storage. When I try to install the CM7, it fails with a (status 7), and when I install the MoDaCo it claims to install without errors, but when I reboot, the phone hangs on the Samsung boot screen logo.
I am wondering if there is something wrong with the rooting, or if it has failed? If so, is there a way to root the phone, while unable to boot into the os, and is there a way to restore the phone to it's original OS and ROM?

I had the Superuser App installed after I rooted it, so I guess it must have been properly rooted.

Anyone got any ideas?

The "reboot set up phone power off" part I assume is there the phone boots into the Android OS, and I have to set it up, before I can use it.
The problem is, that I have several times tried installing the stock rom. There is no problem there, but the phone still only boots until the Samsung boot logo, and then it hangs. I never get to boot into the OS.
So I have three options when I turn on the phone:
* Boot into Download Mode
* Boot into CVM 4e
* Boot normally, and the phone hangs at the first boot screen.
And I still do not have access to the external SD card from the Recovery, so I am not able to add anything to the storage, for me to work with.
Essentially what I have, is an expensive paperweight

Man not from the ext memory card...from internal....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I only have CM7 and MoDaCo on internal storage, and they don't work. I have no way of putting anything else on the internal storage, since the phone does not show up in windows, when I connect it.
I find it difficult to follow .
You have CMW 4 recovery but you have are trying to carry out an impossible task with it .
If you have CWM 4 recovery and you boot into it you can go to mounts and storage .
Format sd card format system format data format cache return advanced wipe dalvik cache .
Phone is now empty no OS nothing .wiped the sd card .
Next step would be to flash a stock firmware through Odin .
If none of that works you need a service centre and hope its not expensive repair .
jje
Roms to flash are placed on internal sd card not external sd card .

Alternatively, you can do a proper hard reset with typing *2767*3855#
As this will wipe your internal SD-card, be sure to have everything in backup.
Then you can flash a stock ROM via Odin in download mode.

my s3 booted up fine , sim card works , whatsapp is working , camera working, TWRP saved my life :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Hi,
My current problems are: my internal storage is completely deleted somehow and when I try to start the device it's bootlooping.
What happened before that was:
1. I was in MIUI 10 globe rom and had the regular TWRP (before treble thing I think)
2. I installed orangefox recovery so I could install a treble RR rom.
3. I backed up my MIUI rom and installed the RR rom without problems
4. Then I wanted to go back to MIUI rom
5. First I installed normal TWRP img into my recovery, because I couldn't recover the MIUI rom in orangefox (couldn't find the file)
6. Then I tried to recover the MIUI rom, but I didn't factory reset before i recovered. I thought that would happen anyway if i recovered a rom. But my recovery file didn't include bootloader and firmware. I had 2 recovery files in my internal storage. One of everything except the bootloader and firmware and the other recovery file was of the bootloader and firmware (i forgot to include them the first time i backed up)
7. So anyway, I recovered the first file and everytrhing was fine, but then immediately i also recovered the second file (the bootloader and firmware only). But the second file failed to recover.
8. I tried to boot the device, but it bootlooped at the MI globe image, then went back to MI logo, then mi globe image, etc. And finally it goes back to TWRP automatically.
9. Went back to recovery to see what's wrong. First I did a normal factory reset (only system, cache and dalvik, no internal storage) so I could install the RR rom I still had in my storage
10. Suddenly I see NOTHING in my internal storage in TWRP. Shows 0 gb.
So can anyone tell me what went wrong??? I never touched the 'format internal storage/data' thing in TWRP, but somehow it deleted it??? Wth happened?
And more importantly, what do I do now? Do I treat this as a bootloop or a bricked device? I know I have to use ADB and stuff to reset the device, right? Or Do I have to do something else?
Anyway, thanks in advance!
Edit: wait, i formatted /data now in TWRP and it booted into MIUI 10 after but with internal storage gone now of course. But I'd still like to know what went wrong.
