Plugged in my old Captivate the other day to charge, and when I came back to it, was stuck in CWM. And would not boot into OS. I have some pics and videos I would like to pull off of it. I tried flashing to stock with Odin, but no love. Tried various kernels and CWM's and non of them will mount /sdcard. As far as I know it hasn't been wiped, as everything I've done says it can't mount /sdcard. Thought it was on CM11 but the boot logo looked like CM10.
Have been trying this http://howtorecover.me/data-recovery-internal-storage-android-phone-guide, but I am stuck at the "Making an image of Android internal storage". And not even sure this will work because I have to do everything in Recovery.
Can log into ADB and do some stuff while in Semaphore_KK_3.4.2c with "adb device= 3935DD422FE700EC recovery"
managed to get "list_of_partitions.txt" (attached)
Is there anyway to repair mount without wiping or retrieve my files?

Hi there,
Well if you're able to boot into the custom recovery then you can use the adb feature to make up a backup of all the files

Great, so can you direct to a way to do it? Stuck on the above guide. Was stuck on SU privileges but aftter finding my current recovery and flashing su.zip every rime I boot the phone. Seem to be passed that. When I get to abd try to copy image it doesn't work.
Also I have read in some the posts that restore in recovery doresn't wipe personal files. Is that true?

Yeah there is a way before I say it What phone are you using again?
well in some cases and on some phones when you change the recovery to a custom one all data will be destroyed
so can you actually boot the phone and does it goes into the homescreen?

It's a Samsung Captivate sgh-i897, will not boot into OS. Everything I've tried flashing was with Odin. tried a couple one-click stock odin installers. But even those would get blocked by mount error when the phone would reboot to install the OS.
Try this

Hi there,
Okay so have you tried using Samsung Keis software it should help you to restore that phone however I'm not sure that you could the recover your old files on that phone but you can try various phone recovering software
Kies won't let me connect through recovery or download. Tried doin factory reset in recovery and that doesn't work either.
Hello,
I am pretty sure that the old Android phone cannot give your data back if you have saved any files after losing old data. New data might have overwritten the previous deleted files and you cannot retrieve them again. But if you have not saved any files after deleting then I must say, you can restore the files using a recovery program (androiddata-recovery.com/android-phone-recovery.php).
Going through this will allow you to get back every data deleted from your old Android phone without any backup. It is easy to use and one of the best reliable software to recover lost files from Android phone.

I installed TWRP on my phone, and went into Bootloader an hit RECOVERY so I can get to the program (the first time I did this it brought me to the TMRWP program). THIS time, it completely wiped my friggin' phone... after I sat there like 4 hours re-setting up everything PERFECTLY how I wanted it.
What's weird is it kept ALL my apps that I converted to SYSTEM APPS, but all my user stuff is gone.
Lesson learned... Don't click recovery from Bootloader.
That has yet to happen to me with any recovery and 3 devices currently with twrp. Might be a step missed with the install or maybe you left a bootloader update zip and ran it when you rebooted? Or it can be a bug as going to recovery from bootloader via a cold start is how to get there traditionally. I would email teamwin and try to sort it out or redo the recovery install, making sure to check the md5 of the file after you download it.

Your supposed to click recovery at bootloader. Thats where you do backup, restore and flash new roms.
HTC Sensation z710e
ICS 4.0.3
Sense version 4.0
Software Sense-o-maniac v1.3
Kernel. 3.0.30 Bricked
Radio 11.68.3504
That's what I thought too. If I'm not mistaking, I flashed the new firmware after I did the TWRP, so maybe that screwed it up somehow. I take it TWRP must be the LAST image you flash? Only flashes I remember doing were:
Customize bootloader screen
TWRP.
firmware update
Do I need to re-flash the new firmware before re-flashing TWRP, or is the firmware going to remain no matter what I do from this point on?
Just adb flash recovery. Put the recovery image in your platform tools folder. Adb reboot bootloader. when you are rebooted adb flash recovery recovery.img.
Or use one of the many tools made to do that on our forums

Well I went ahead and used the GOO Manager to flash TWRP again, and this time it worked fine. I'm going to re-setup my phone again then before I customize it back like I had it, going to try to get to recovery and see if it works.
With it now being installed, does that mean I can't flash anything directly from SD Card or modify the bootloader anymore without it causing problems?
What I mean, moreso, is... if I ever put factory reset. will it reload the factory rom + keep the newest firmware I installed (etc.) or do I nee to back up the phone with TWRP and recover from that when I want to load it back?
Factory reset just puts things back to the way they were without the stuff in the data partition or any user apps or settings. This means that say you flash a custom rom, it will reset to as if that custom rom was freshly installed since the custom rom has replaced the factory rom in the /system/ parition and anything else related to it.
With that said it is usually a good practice after rooting a fresh device to do the nandroid and then transfer it to a computer before you do anything else. Note that while you probably won't be switching recoveries a lot, that nandroid backups generally work only with the recovery that generated them so don't get them mixed up.
I created this thread because I have looked all over and have been unable to find someone with the exact same issue(s).
I said "sort of" in the title because twrp is working. Ok, so before everyone asks if I have nvflash, the answer is no. I did not have the right version of firmware, and did not try to install it originally. Since I was able to install roms, I figured I was fine...oops.
Twrp is not properly installing roms. More on that later. I am getting to the asus splash screen that says my device is unlocked, but it is stuck there.
My last working rom was the deodexed stock JB rom from craig gomez. I installed it with goo and when I installed that, I lost custom recovery and root, so I decided to go back to a more custom rom so Titanium backup would work. When I did that, I tried also tried again to make nvflash work. I got through the first step, it said it was successful, except I never got the little message in the upper left corner that I was supposed to get. I did not think it was a big deal because my prime would still boot like normal.
Then I installed twrp 2.3.1.0 and I have tried flashing previous restore images. I have tried installing the roms on my sdcard. I cannot get past the asus splash screen.
If I try installing a rom with the force md5 check enabled, it does detect an md5 and then quits.
If I try intalling a rom without the force md5 check, i get an error that says E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try installing a backup everything seems to work okay, but then I get the same error E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try to install roms through fastboot, I get the following errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
When I try using adb, I do not see any devices.
I tried putting CWM on the prime to see if I could install from that instead, but it would not load after install.
I tried putting an older version of twrp on the prime, to see if that was the issue because I used to have an older version...I could not get that to load either...so I went back to this version.
Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome guys. I am stuck.
I even went to install the naked drivers again, and when I try to flash a different recovery, I get the <waiting for device> text that never goes away.
i'm sort of on the same boat. my prime just keeps booting into twrp recovery no matter what i tried. i'm still hoping to find a solution to this problem.

For me, I can let it try to boot normally, but I get stuck at the splash screen. This device is unlocked.
If I hold down the volume down button, I can go to fastboot, or RCK for recovery...but it does not work properly.

That doesn't really help us. If possible, can you edit/delete your message so that the guys that might help do actually help? Don't want them to think this is done.
Can you clarify what the Prime fullwipe is and how you got there?
I do not know if it will help me.
I can't even do the wipe command from fastboot.
Just says <waiting for device>
I have tried the wipe command form the boot screen (the one with fastboot and RCK as options), that did not work properly either.

here is what i did. get into twrp recovery. flashed full prime wipe -> right after that flash the stock jb US version directly dled from Asus -> reboot then you will be stuck at the splash screen (that's a good news). Hold down power + volume down until your prime turns off and restart (keep holding those two keys) until the 3 icons appear then flash w/e rom you want in recovery. It's alive!
In twrp I do not see anything that says Full Prime Wipe. I see something that says wipe. Are those the same? I tried doing a wipe from this screen, but it did not work for me as expected.

no full wipe is a stand alone zip file you have to google and find dl it. put it in your prime then flash it

I will see if I can make this work when I get back from work.

I am pretty sure I am F***ed.
I tried the prime full wipe. It worked the first time, I think. Then went to install a rom.
I had to do both through external SD in twrp because my adb is not working. Also, fastboot only works to install a recovery. The only version of any recovery I can make work is twrp 2.3.1.0
If I try an older version or CWM, it freezes where I try to go into recovery.
Unable to mount data error.
Unable to mount system error.
Same as before.
I tried using unbricker software I found, but since adb does not work properly, the software does not work properly.
I am going to see if I can work my charm and get them to take back my tablet at best buy for an infinity. I have read about other people pulling it off.
I think as we get closer to xmas my odds improve...UNLESS SOMEONE HAS ANOTHER IDEA??? I would love to try something else.
Eyeballer suggested a chat room channel thing, but most of the people are in europe and I would need to do it in the morning...I do not have time for that, but I may try it.

Download the zip:
http://goo.gl/hiFHB
Goto to Twrp recovery and install the zip..Since it supports microsd u can transfer the zip to microsd.
Goto TWRP -> INSTALL -> CHOOSE EXTERNAL SD -> INSTALL THE ZIP
It will completely wipe the internal storage and then download the official STOCK JB FROM ASUS SITE and follow the same steps to install. Now install the latest twrp recovery using fastboot

Yeah, I should have said I tried that first. I also tried the stock rom from asus. When that didn't work, I tried the stock rom deodexed I found in goo.
There are a bunch of permission errors going on inside my prime. When I go into the mount area, it will not let me mount the data to move it. Or, when I try to copy it over I get a failed message.
Okay. I wiped it again, from twrp.
Then it let me move the file from the ext-sdcard to the sdcard.
I used the prime full wipe.
Then I tried to install the stock rom by transferring it in twrp file manager.
I got the file onto the sdcard, but when i tried to install, it said Failed.
That was it.
I even tried installing the ICS version I got from ASUS. Same thing.
Now, I am going to try to access via unbricker...don't know if it will work, but I am out of ideas.

That is the last rom I successfully used.
I used all sorts of different wipes. I was in twrp and noticed my pc installing the transformer adb driver. So I hopped into adb to see if it would see my device with that driver. (it did, but it wasn't before from the fastboot or adb commands with naked driver).
I tried sideloading the above rom from twrp. It worked.
Thought others might want to know.
I do not know if I can install other roms or not. I am a little scared to try just yet.

You will have the jelly bean bootloader now so as long as you stick to it you should be fine. The only other thing I would suggest is check you version of twrp, you should be running the jelly bean version of it also. And if I am not mistaken, you need to be on ics to use nvflash (although I haven't checked the op recently so I could be wrong) so definitely stay away from that unless you downgrade.
Hello

Which version of the phone do you have? Sounds like the INTL one to me. You can still follow my tut here to get your rom and gapp's on your phone to flash.
Good luck
Maybe a silly question, but, do you have the windows drivers installed for the phone?

Thank you for the quick reply.
I managed to make it work.
Basically it seems like the phone takes time to get recognised by my system, is this normal?
After mounting the usb storage from recover and plugging the usb, when I used adb push, it says device not found.
After a minute, I used the command line again and it worked.
I pushed both the rom and gapps.zip file and installled them and now it's working.
My question now is: I had apps, messages,calls and contacts - is it possible to get them from the backup as well as keep this rom that I've just installed?
PS : is not connecting to the wifi, stating that there are authentication problem, is this normal?
Thank you
Can someone tell me if the wifi connection is an issue with this phone when intalling the rom mentioned earlier.
I had apps and other stuff on my phone, I can still see their respective folders, can I restore my apps back?
ps: I made a full backup of my official rom, I wanted to restore it back and this is what I've done:
Wiped system,dalvik,cache and factory
then restored all three partitions of my backup.
It turns on but it keeps hanging on the htc one logo
what can I do in this case?

I could be completely wrong but you might have to flashed the boot.img from your backup? did you flash a boot.img from a custom rom? TWRP won't flash boot.img properly so it has to be done in the bootloader.
Hope this sheds some light on your issue
Cheers!
When we make the backup, TWRP doesn't create a boot image file,at least not explicitly.
The file with the name "boot" have md5 and win extension.
I thought the same thing, that probably I need to flash the boot.image file as I did flash a custom boot before installing cm10.
So where is the boot.img file for my stock? how can I extract it?

I had this problem once to. On my HTC Flyer, nothing I could do to recognize the phone. I had to ditch the HTC Driver and tried every copy of the android drive I could find on XDA. I will see if I can find the file that worked for me. But in the interim you may want to try a few.
BTW I am not an expert. This worked for me and it sounds like the same situation to me. :fingers-crossed:
Here's a question: where'd you get the recovery? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, i don't see your device as supported. Also, i believe they're called universal naked drivers, that may be of help.

so hopefully you tried these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
I am not a developer or anything & havent read many forums...but while playing with myTouch I did get stuck a few times.
Somethings I cant point out if u wanna try as a layman:
1. can u mount your sd card through recovery?
2. if you can than just pick another rom for your device and put it onto your sd card
3. wipe data & partition, wipe cache, delete davlik. some devices work ONLY with wipe script (for my friend only the wipe script worked)
4. dont use odin. go to cwm recovery & install zip from sd card & choose the rom (the 1 from step 2).
I think that should get u out safely....hope it helps
@bodh
i actually installed a cwm 5 version
maybe thats the cause of the whole problem
@indiankarmas
i did install multiple roms from the sd card, first cm9 then stock rom
but it doesnt really work
how i fixed the problem:
when i flashed cm9 and used the bootloader with odin to pass the recovery mode my phone booted the stock os
installing from the external sd didnt work, i just wiped my phone for nothing
it booted the stock os, i didnt want this but this made my pc recognize my phone
so i transferred the rom and gapps in the internal sd
got back to recovery mode and installed from internal sd
and used the bootloader again to pass the recovery mode
again, i appreciate you guys trying to help me out
Hello! I'm new-ish here... As in I just opened an account to post after watching from the sidelines for a few months now.
Anyway,
I'm having problems with my phone. I was running ViperLTE 2.1.1 and recently switched to CyanogenMod. My sdcard wouldn't work correctly, so I tried to go back to stock, and my phone never made it past the "HTC" boot screen. I've tried reflashing and whatnot almost a dozen times, including restoring my nandroid backup, with no luck. Now I can't even access it via adb. What do I do?
Fastboot the stock boot image. The instructions are in the development section. Are you s off?

I'm not s-off, and I have tried that multiple times, and at this point I can't get to adb or fastboot. I'm having trouble even accessing the bootloader.
EDIT: I got to the bootloader and adb/fastboot, but still flashing any boot image does nothing to fix the problem, and I'm still stuck at the htc screen.

You are flashing the stock boot image right? From here for example.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Are you installing a stock(-based) ROM or restoring a nandroid?

Yeah. I'm repeatedly flashing the stock boot image and restarting, to no avail. According to the CyanogenMod forum, I need to install a stock-based ROM and then format my sdcard (to fix my initial problem)... and then restore my nandroid afterwards. At this point, it would be nice to just be able to restore the nandroid and have a phone that makes calls for a day-trip I'm going on tomorrow.

Just to check, after flashing the stock boot.img, you have installed a stock ROM or restored a stock-based ROM from a nandroid right (i.e. you're sure the backup is not from CyanogenMod)? The boot image alone isn't going to do anything. Also, depending on whether you were running Viper 1.x or 2.x, you need a different boot.img. The boot.img for Viper 1.x can be found here.
If restoring your nandroid backup doesn't work, freshly install Stock (or Viper).

I'll try that when I get to the computer, but do I need to use twrp or can I continue to use cwm? Also I can't access the sd card via my computer to put the rom onto it because it doesn't mount when I'm booted into recovery

Either TWRP or CWM will work. There is a test version of CWM that enables USB mass storage support... but I haven't yet tested the feature under Windows.
I got it to work, via side-loading the zip and then flashing the boot.img. I don't know why I was having so many problems before... But they're better now. Thanks for your help
