Hello, I just bought a galaxy s2 for boost mobile, and I have decided to root it. The root went well, and everything was fine, but then I made a mistake with installing a rom.
I installed Revolt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755884&highlight=wrong
And when I was finishing up, I misread and installed Gapps, but I didnt need to because I was not on nightly. And then everything messed up. Because I flashed an unnecessary version of Gapps, everything was broken, no keyboard, clock, or any other stock apps.
I have rooted, and flashed roms before, and this has happened, and I usually just re-install to fix it.
However, when I tried to go back into recovery (Siyah-Dorimanx Kernel) it says that it cant mount the SD card. I tried wiping all caches and data, and nothing happened. So then I tried to turn the phone back on, try to put a rom into the interal SD, or just connect it to the computer and fix it via Odin. The phone will not connect to the computer, and doesnt show up in odin.
Short Story
My phone will cant mount sdcards, or connect to my computer, am I screwed?
I also have checked other threads,with no solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
Also, i cannot get wifi or any sort of signal from boost.

Had my phone 2 years, installed ROMs without any issues before.
Was running CM10.1 daily, when yesterday I thought I'd go and encrypt the phone (using the system menu).
Phone encrypted, rebooted, but immediately I started getting 'google play store crashed' errors in an infinite loop. It was usable enough to push the latest neatrom to the phone via USB connectivity, so I did a full wipe (clear data/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, format /system, install rom in CWM) and installed neatrom.
Phone reboots, looks OK at first except for a 'usb storage is blank or unsupported' message in notification center. I try to format it, no dice, just stops displays the notification again.
Of course, without what is seen by the sgs2 as usb storage I can't install any app and everything crashes to desktop (camera, etc).
I'm not sure what to do next, and could use some advice! Thank you!
Right, so now I've bricked it. Odin, GB phone, csr and pda, then black screen, then nothing. Won't reboot either. Just... great.
Ok, thanks for sharing.

I got an iPhone now. Wondering why I spent 2 years of my life with a battery that last 1/2 day and constant issues. Problem solved for good!
Alright! Now you got so many things to do with it.

reflash back to stock rom first, but first make a back up for your current rom. that happened to my tab before. the internal memory is not working and saying something blank/unsupported, really cannot remeber. i couldnt install apps. i contacted the support of the tab (NOMADNINE) and i was adviced to flash it back to stock since it will copy files and put the chipset to write mode and will erase everything... you can try to flash it through ODIN.

Yup, plus the SGS2 is hard bricked: no power on, tried various ways to address that but no dice. Off to ebay for spare parts.
Hello, let me describe my problem.
Some months ago i rooted my SGSII with stock rom to remove facebook and other unnecessary apps, but I didn't installed CWM. Yesterday I had a small accident. I dropped my phone on the wet floor and two problems occured. Power button didn't work and phone couldn't connect with network. After having dissasemblied and dried it inside, power button started working, but phone still couldn't connect. So I decided to make a full wipe. And here's come my problem. After wipe my Android 4.1.2 is able to go through initialisation process (language selection, wifi password etc.)
but after this it gets stuck and bootloop occur.
I tried to fix the phone using Odin, but after connecting to computer, it shows that device is unknown and Odin don't see it. I also tried to find way to install CWM via stock recovery, but it's propbably not possible.
Please, help me
TL;DL: Phones 16gb storage changed to 128mb overnight. None of my files/apps/pics accessible.
I have the international version for the S3 (GT-i9300) with 4.3 stock firmware installed (rooted)
I woke up this morning and looked on my phone to see that my primary launcher, nova launcher, had been reset to the original layout when you first install it. I was confused so I restarted my phone and it went back to touch wiz. But now none of my apps, files, pictures, etc. from the internal memory on the phone are accessible. It seems like it went back to an old backup I once had due to the lack of my newer contacts on board.
When I connected the phone to my PC it only shows 127mb/128mb where as on the storage settings it shows available space of 5.75gb/16gb where all the non system memory are labeled as miscellaneous.
In application manager it shows all my apps i used to have but now they all have the android logo and 0b of storage.
The phone also prompts a message every couple seconds saying clock is not responding.
No idea where to go from here seeing as i can't even access all of my internal storage... Would appreciate some help on my situation, thanks in advance!
EDIT: Tried factory reset, tried installing play store apk, tried flashing an updated firmware, tried booting into clockwork recovery.... all with no luck
Flash full stock firmware with Odin then factory reset.

Thanks for the suggestion. I flashed stock firmware and ended up doing a factory reset through the recovery menu. All seemed well as my phone stopped heating up like it used too, battery lasted longe and all the symptoms I was facing stopped. Unfortunately when I woke up this morning the phone factory reset itself again. Same symptoms as before but this time I can view files, even though everything got deleted...
My question is now should I just flash a different rom like cyanogenmod? So far for the past 2 years I've only stuck to the stock rom and I've faced nothing but troubles. Wondering if I might face the same thing once I convert.
Thanks!
Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.
Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.
Ive had this i605 since a few months after it came out, brand new. rooted it within 5 min as i got home. only issue i've had with it was the power button and usb port didn't work but i replaced those.
2 nights ago, running cm13 last official version. was just on facebook and i got the boot logo. it's happened before so i didnt think anything of it. except this time, it was boot looping the first logo. ok, something happened to OS, so i went into recovery, erased all but external SD card and installed slimkat, this time it would get to the slimkat logo about 2% and reboot. fine.. back to stock and reroot. INstalled MC3 stock. when it came back up and it did, it hangs on verizon activation until wifi only.. great. go to status, baseband unknown. no radio, bluetooth and wifi still work, but doesn't detect simcard. this phone is my only internet connection as i tether. trying to root with casual and now, even though i can go in download mode and usb is found and i can flash with odin stock rom all day, once i get to android home screen, my computer is not seeing the USB file system, mtp, but it is charging. anyone had this happen before?
this phone has never had an OTA update, was on 4.1.2 when i got it
Update: Loaded back fresh MC3 stock build to start over again, saw a post somewhere about accessing hidden menu,
Go to Phone Dialer and type *#22745927
Enable Hidden Menu
Go to Phone Dialer and type *#7284#
Set USB to PDA, save and exit, rebooted back into android and was able to get USB access for CASUAL to root. FInally got it rooted, in TWRP newest version
Funny thing when it booted back into android before CASUAL root, it showed SDCrd and Internel memory. SDCArd was fine, but internal memory was -1636237227 so i'm thinking that memory is a problem, because when i reloaded stock mc3, it would never boot up after odin, i had to go into recovery and do a factory reset and then it would boot into Android, but no USB access, could get USB access in download mode, but not in recovery or android. I just found it weird.
Now, when i load my custom rom, it just hangs at the ROMs loading screen and just stays there. I'm really thinking this is a memory problem and i'm really upset about it. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to just reset the memory, without messing with EFS.
