Hi everyone,
I've been searching how to boot in sd card for a week and tired and hopeless. I stumbled up here.
I know there are custom roms out there (TWRP, CWM)but my problem is I don't have access to usb cable to connect odin since my port was busted and the technician wasn't able to repair it. It only charged but no data data...
The problem is the android OS was corrupted. I can only access the recovery mode and I have tried to reset factory settings but with no success. I just need to know if I can boot on SD card alone to install an OS or install TWRP or CWM recovery without any sort of cable. Thanks...

Get someone with your same device and is rooted to pull a debrick.img from their device using terminal emulator app and have them upload it for you.
Then follow these instructions in the link below using the debrick file you get from them, ignore the device files linked in the thread, you only want the PC tools from the thread, then using your debrick.img follow the instructions.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
You will see the instructions mention debrick.bin and debrick.img, they are the same thing, when you see it say one of these it it is talking about the debrick file you get from whoever helps you if they pull a copy for you. Use that file when it mentions doing something with either .bin.or .img.
After you get the device booted there are instructions to return your sdcard to normal use.

I made a grave mistake today, I wiped everything in my internal sd card. Now it won't boot anymore. It is just booting from the galaxy s2 logo. I followed the guide in the the wiki of cyanogenmod
The part where i made a mistake is in the "Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card." I thought that the root of the sd card is in my external microsd card. So I proceeded and put the update.zip in the microsd card.. Then I did Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition. After that I tried to find the update.zip but can't find it anywhere.
So I rebooted my galaxy s2, then bang it won't start anymore. It just loops in the galaxy s2 logo part.
So I searched google and found out that I wiped everything in my internal sd card including the stock galaxy s2 software. i made the biggest mistake of the year.
I mistakenly put the cm9 in my external sd card.. The clockwork mod can't read the external sd card. So now i'm stock with a brick galaxy s2
Please help me. I just started this rooting thing and now my galaxy s2 is bricked.
I know the odin application can help me flash a new rom. But i don't know where to proceed. What rom should I download?
If i can install a custom rom using odin i know this can help me fix my problem.
Please guide me. im begging all of you.
Can you still put your phone in download mode? if you can, then you can probably install stock rom.after that you can root your phone again. have you tried intratech's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Sounds to me like you didn't flash a proper kernel. You'll get stuck at the boot logo if that happens.

thanks for replying. i appreciate it.
yes. i think thats what happened. please help me fix this.
I would advise you use odin to flash a stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 use this to download a stock rom / root it. Then you can flash any rom after that!
I deleted my internal on purpose
You say Clockwork Mod can't recognise your External SD card, so i presume you can get into recovery?. if you're running a custom recovery like Clockwork and you can get in to recovery you'll be ok.
Dl a custom rom (checkrom) or kernel which supports external sd card, (like siyah or something) Connect your phone to your pc, and boot into recovery. Go to storage options in recovery and mount your phone. Your internal memory should be available to view in your pc. Copy across the file(s) you downloaded and Install the zip. The custom rom will bring you back to speed, or the custom kernel will allow you to flash whatever you had on your External SD to begin with. I recommend the rom flash though.
There should be plenty of help regarding Odin in the forums. Let us know how you get on.

If you wiped internal sd card you need to remove and replace battery enter download mode and flash a stock rom via ODIN .As you have wiped the entire OS so phone cannot boot to something that no longer exists .
Any stock rom will recover your phone logic says use one for your location .

i fixed it!!! thank you for your help!! hahaha im so happy. thank you very much kind sir
Happy to help, and good to hear it worked out
This is how you learn about custom roms, i think its good to get a bootloop etc. because it forces you to try troubleshoot and increases your knowledge.
and also if you can get into CWM recovery then thats generally a good sign and things can be recovered from there.
glad everything worked for you.
I was formatting my phone's internal storage in TWRP recovery and I accidently wiped my ROM instead of formatting data.Now there's no OS on my phone i.e it's soft bricked.Odin won't detect my phone on my winXP PC,I got the samsung drivers installed and I made sure no kies process is running.I tried mounting the storage in recovery but when I click on it on my PC,it tells me ''please insert a disk''.I wanna try flashing stock ROM using ubuntu but I just don't know how.I know it's by using hemidall but I'm not very experienced with linux.I just need the codes that I have to put in the terminal.
Can you boot in to TWRP recovery? If you can, you could just flash another rom from there. If not i just did a quick search of google for "i9300 flash stock firmware heimdall ubuntu" and came across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947975

You can always put a rom on your external sd card (if you have one) just plug it in to an adapter (again, if you have one) and pop it back in the S3. And i bet in future you'll make a back up
Good luck.
Didn't work and I don't have an external SD.Well I guess I'm f***ed :/ NOPE.As I was typing this,I thought about trying to boot my phone while it's connected to the PC and while it was stuck at ''galaxy s3'' logo,it installed additional drivers(I thought all of them were installed) and odin detected my phone.I just saved myself a visit to my other house where my main PC is which I used to do all the flashing stuff before moving here Thanks for your help

There's a program called HeimDall. You can use that to re-flash stock firmware or you can install VirtualBox and Windows on top of that, then you download the stock firmware to the virtual machine and Odin and you can set it to read/write to and from the USB ports
Hope I could help!

Yeah,I think I will use virtualbox because it seems that my GS3 doesn't like windows XP.Even tho odin detects my phone now but MTP/PTP are both not working.

Hello all, I recently purchased an e970 from a friend of mine. It came pre rooted and flashed with the 4.4 KitKat ROM by houstonn.
He explained to me that the phone does not connect to a PC and that he'd troubleshooted as far as he could trying to get it to work. I'm not sure what he could have done that would have completely broken USB on this phone but if anyone has any insight or some steps I should take please do let me know.
Basically the phone seems to do nothing at all when I plug it into the computer. No USB prompt or driver installation occurs. No detection in device manager. Regardless of what mode I'm in I get the same problem! (Recovery, bootloader, normal boot)
Also I did post another thread regarding this but I will try to delete it.

Same Issues with LG E970
Sorry to say I have same issue.
Mine started after I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 Multirom in an attempt to prep it to install KitKat.
Now when I boot into recovery it won't see the SD card so I can try reverting or loading another rom.
I can get the phone into fastboot and also Download mode, but not even with ADB or LGNPST will recognize it connected via USB.
Any suggestions welcomed!

You need to flash the 2.6.3.3 twrp that detects ext sdcard. ADB push that to your internal sdcard and flash it in the trwp you have now. It will then see your ext sdcard and be able to flash what you have on it.

I have tried, but I can't get ADB to detect the phone. I tried different PC's so I can only conclude something happened to the USB port......Wonder if a corrupt or wrong TWRP would cause that??
Also...it will it not detect in download mode
Berraco, any luck with this? Perhaps cleaning it would help.. Idk I'm willing to try anything.

Still stuck. I went ahead and replaced the USB circuit/port......thinking that was my issue, but still the phone won't get detected by any PC.
I can boot into the TWRP, but that won't detect my SDCARD in order to try to reflash from there.
I can get into Download moade and phone charges via usb.
TWRP wont detect anything on USB ODB.

I also have this issue, and I also was on hustonn's 4.4 and used twrp 2.6.3.0
Long story short i tried to partition sd card to increase internal memory. I knew i might screw up, so did a Nandroid back up as well.
So as predicted after the partition my phone went into a boot loop, so i went into recovery mode but clearing caches did not help (android system recovery 3e).
So Tried to flash the stock rom (update firmware). I have no idea what went wrong but SP flash tool showed everything was fine and the whole process was complete with a green tick pop up as well.
So after that the phone did not reboot/start/.. :crying:
Im pretty sure its hard bricked. But everytime i plug the USB to my phone i hear the windows notification sound??
Can anyone please help?? I bought this online and sending it back is not an option.
PS: The phone has a light adapter (like iphone 5s), SD card cannot be removed, Battery cannot be removed.
I have the complete rom with me. Model MTK6572 RAM512MB. Not original goophone.

Two things:
1. Please post in the correct section, instead of just randomly picking a place to post
2. Maybe provide more information about what device this is?

Try backing up your nvram folder. Found in /data/nvram. For backing up go to recovery go to terminal / cmd and type adb pull /data/nvram. Skip the backing up if you have a cwm backup.
then format your whole phone using spflash tools.. Then click download on after selecting your scatter file...

My phone is hard bricked not shoft bricked. So no response whatsoever.
So i downloaded like 6 different versions of this phone rom and found a working android scatter to flash via Sp flash tool.
Now im able to snter into the phone default recovery, but i cannot go any further as it just restarts if i press any key.
I paid a guy online to create a CWM recovery.. I flashed that onto the phone but still only the defualt recovery boot up!
Im certain that CWM recovery will enable me to access the sd card and restore my nandroid backup. but unfortunately cwm does no load up.
If i format my phone via SP flash tools will it delete my nandroid back?
If so is there a way to add the nandroid backup onto the sd card? (my sd card cannot be removed and yes i have a backup of the nandroid on my pc)
Hi guys.
My phone is Samsung note 3 n9005 twrp recovery lollipop android 5.0
Im newbie superuser i already root my device
and i tried to install xposed framework but not working.
This made me decide to go recovery mode
and i wiped whole system, caches, data, dalvik cache, and other options.
1--Via odion and flashing file to my phone?
What files i needs for this!
2-- via downloading files to my external sd card
and flash them directily? What files i need for this?
Please help guys the phone was gift from my bro.
Btw i have macbook to use not windows, but not a problem i can borrow Windows
@Alrubaie, both method would work. You can install a firmware for your device using Odin. This would bring it back to life. And also, you can download a custom ROM (from development section here) and install that using TWRP, this will also do the trick. Though, you must be able to transfer files from PC to phone from recovery mode -- do enable MTP in Mount menu of TWRP for this.
