[Q] How to recover phone? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all
So i wanted to install CM11 from slim bean 4.2.2 build 8 on my vibrant, but when i rebooted into cwm and tried to flash it, status 7 showed up.
Another problem is that i cannot access the mount usb storage, when i do i hear the usb disconnecting sound from my computer although it never connected and nothing shows up. How would i go about doing this? Is it possible to recover?
EDIT1: im trying to restore my backup from before i did this, and if this works how do i get rid of the status 7 when trying to flash new rom?

What I try to do is work my way up to the build, so if it is a 4.2 build, then try installing a 4.1 build first and work your way up to it might help, I've also noticed that I might get status 7 then if I go under advanced, then reboot recovery that somehow solves it. And for your usb problem can you still at least access your sd card through cwm? Let me know how it goes

[Q] Wifi will not turn on

I have a Transformer Prime and I decided to flash CM9. I installed CWM via Rom Manager. This was my first time flashing with my prime but I have flashed many times with my droid 1 so I'm not completely new to this. Wiped data, flashed CM9 and then flashed google apps on top of that. This created a bootloop for whatever reason which I fixed using adb. (First time ever using adb). CM9 booted up fine but when it goes to ask for my account info during first bootup, the wifi wont turn on. It says "Turning wifi on" but never does anything. Let it sit for half an hour and nothing. Decided to skip that thinking it might work when everything is booted up. Suffice to say, doesn't work. Says MAC address unavailable. Bluetooth wont turn on either. Can't browse files at all due to no file manager app. Rom manager is installed but says CWM is no longer installed. Can boot into fastboot only but not CWM. Can't reinstall CM9 or stock ROM due to no CWM. Anyone know how I can fix this? I would just like to get the wifi on or get back to stock if that is necessary. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Correction, am now able to enter CWM, going to wipe and reflash.
EDIT2: Solved the issue. Figures, after 5 hours of trying to figure it out and then posting, I fix the issue in 10 minutes. Sorry for the post.
Glad you made it.
Thank you for getting through this either alone or through search. Also, thank you for sharing how you solved it. Can i also thank you again for editing the title of the thread to include a [SOLVED] tag?

that's weird... here's a possible workaround but you're gonna need another android phone or something else that you can bluetooth things over to your phone with. ok, so you still have root access hopefully. so first lets solve the recovery problem, download the latest apk you can find for rom manager of the internet, bluetooth it to your phone. install, through this install cwm recovery, now bluetooth a rom and gapps you know are stable to your phone, finally boot into CWM and install. hope this works!

Yeah, i have root acces still and the playstore still works, i already have rom manager, when i enter the program it will tell me"SD card needs to be mounted before using rom manager" well, i just press ok and the program will work "properly"(i think) , so i go to the recovery setup option and i try to to install and i select CMW 3.x+ and it tells me that the operation has been succesfull now i try tp reboot into recovery and it wont work still

[Q] My phone is not connecting or mounting sdcards

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.

Baseband unknown, phone waS rooted but previously crashed

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.

Phone Switching off and Restarting only after Wipe

Recently I've encountered a problem on my Redmi Note 3 Pro 3 gb ram 32 gb. I've been using custom ROMs and Kernels for a while. One day my phone switched off after getting warm. It switched on after some time. Then I tried Wiping Cache and Dalvik through TWRP and it didn't work as I had the same problem over again. Then I tried flashing another ROM through TWRP and I couldn't complete it as my phone restarted while I tried to flash a new ROM. Then I tried copying my files from phone to USB OTG and that too failed as phone continued to restart. The only option I had is using Fastboot. I downloaded the latest Global ROM MIUI 10 and flashed new ROM using MiFlash. Phone booted perfectly and after I synced my Mi account and Google account the phone switched off again and when I tried to restart it boots up till lockscreen and switches off Immediately.
Again I booted up Xiaomi Recovery as TWRP was now gone and Wiped the ROM and it booted up normally, after few tries I finally didn't sync Mi or Google account and Didn't install anything on phone as it might switch off again. I'm pretty sure it'll switch off again. Other than that I think the device is okay as I'm posting this thread from the same phone. It couldn't be a ROM issue as you can see I've tried different MIUI ROMs even the Custom MIUI ones. What could be the reason for this behavior? I hope someone could help me as it is my main device and this issue is driving me nuts.

Make sure u selected clean flash while flashing fastboot rom including cleaning user storage and internal sd.
Dont encrypt.
Are u rooting ? If rooting use magisk only.... not supersu.
Remove sd card, sim card . clean it. Put back.
If still cant solve....open back cover. Remove both battery connecter and connect again. Charging board flex connector on both end and connect again. Sometimes carbon can create problem.

I've Selected Flash all While Fastboot flashing....Yet I've
Same issue, Boots till lockscreen then screen goes black....Then when I use Mi Recovery to Wipe all it boots up and I can use the phone. But if I try to Open a few apps or try to Sync, phone switches off again. Any way I'll try the cable fix and report here.
