So I'm in CWM about to install a new ICS rom. I go to mounts and storage and start formatting everything. As I finish with that, I start trying to make my way to the "mount usb storage" option to I can copy the .zip files from my computer.
However, I accidentally mount or unmount one of the folders near the top. I'm not sure which one (I was a little distracted by something else at the time). So I figure why not just reboot into recovery (in hindsight, bad idea).
Now the phone is stuck at the AT&T Logo. I'm not sure its a "bootloop" since it always stays at the white screen and never goes into black.
I've tried every button combo I can think of to get back into recovery or download mode, but no luck.
Any ideas?
Just flash with ODIN. Use a JIG
Well you can try
Open ODIN
take out battery
connect phone to computer insert battery while holding Vol up+vol down (assuming on i897 bootloaders)
flash to stock
OR
Jig
... I typed to slow.... lol
And I made mine short and too the point for people that don't read

it happened with me also no need to use USB jig just connect your device to computer in download mode then flash any Odin one click package with boot loader
bootloader is necessary as you just wiped boot from recovery
If he wiped his bootloader it would be hard bricked. I would attempt it without bootloader first.

there are 2 types of boot loader one for going to dload and recovery mode and one for booting phone he removed the bootloader which boot phone and if it is not boot loader then can u please tell what is exactly the boot in mount and storage option
cwm wont let you wipe your bootloader or efs. he should be fine if he reads...
there is NO INSTRUCTIONS ANYWHERE that say to wipe everything in that menu.
if anything system and data (factory reset).
odin flash to stock.

that is just wrong in so many ways. simply put if bootloaders were dammaged/missing the phone would not turn on.

OK I just want to know only for knowledge that what is that boot option in mount and storage so I can give exact info to others
there is no bootloader option in mounts and storage...
looking at it now the options are to mount or format:
system
cache
datadata
sdcard
data
emmc
no boot or bootloader.

Yes there is a primary and secondary bootloader but if 1 is broken, gone the phone won't BOOT at all (hard bricked). FYI secondary bootloader handles the key combos. Im not saying he doesn't need to flash bootloaders BUT I would try to odin without bootloaders first see if it works. Less chance of killing your phone.

Good for you. But if the user has a less than stable cable or God knows what else your advice will lead to a brick for something that could have been fixed with out a bl package. Btw it's not smart attacking a rom dev on the forums.... just saying.

glitch kernel does, I AM SOOO SORRY, my other phone doesn't run glitch.
and take your own advice as well. how do you know it formats bootloader?
do you know what would happen if you formatted bootloader?
and try to understand not everyone sees the exact same thing you do unless we know what kernel you are using.
OK lets get the kernel tester for Glitch in this conversation. Wiping boot.img in CWM wipes the kernel because on MTD ROM's. The kernel is contained in a boot.img, not a zImage.... So no the only program or recovery system that has access to the bootloaders is ODIN or HEIMDALL. CWM recovery doesn't even have access to bootloaders on any other phone either... So TRusselo is completely right and dhlalit11 is wrong...
S-nap B-eock
a recovery that wipes its own bootloader would just be retarded.

MY Phone Condition:
My phone was previously install with voodoo rom and use clockwork recovery to restore to my stock rom that i backup and it crash half way.
My phone was hardware lock this mean no matter how i press the volume and power button , i will never get into download mode. non of the method posted work !
My phone cannot use "adb reboot download" because there is no OS and it was stuck in the recovery loop.
It does not have clockwork recovery because i formatted my internal sdcard
If i do have clockwork recovery and i use restore image or install new from zip , i still stuck in the recovery mode after reboot several times.
My phone does not mount to internal sdcard because i don't even know what i did on this part.
I believe i screw up my partition of the phone.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
Second Part:
If you get black screen with only 4 light on the bottom after flashing from Odin.
Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
There should be T959-PDA.tar,T959-CSC.tar and T959-Phone.tar within the package.
Check "Re-Partition" , "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" check box. Use the PIT 0512 version. Use "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" from the link above.
After flashing with Odin, you will loose the download mode. repeat the first part and you are good to go.

You figure it out after all. I already stated the condition of my phone ! My phone was pretty bricked at that point. There is way for me to push any files into the phone because i don't have permission and my phone will not go to download mode by using the volume button. It just stuck at recovery mode.
There are guide out there teach you to use "adb push download". This method only work if you are in your phone and you turn on debug mode. My phone crash at the clockwork recovery bootloader. Then i formated my internal sdcard that hold the clockwork. next i push a stock update.zip that does not have su and busybox so i lost the capability to push anything into the phone.
no download mode , no permission, no sdcard --> You tell me how can i use the method that post few week ago ?

unfortunately, i was one of those careless people to brick my phone via Voodoo.
Firstly, i tried to "FLASH" the disable_voodoo zip file via Clockwork, i put it in root, and never created any folders. i knew i had to disable voodoo before flashing but my steps were wrong.
sadly enough, my phone was also HW locked, so i got it exchanged. now im not using voodoo YET and i my new vibrant can handle OC and has the recovery/download mode via buttons.

i use shell to create the file that disable voodoo. after disable voodoo , i was able to do restore and install new rom unfortunately after restore or install new rom , it still reboot into recovery.
I also forgot to disable voodoo, and this was before there were fix instructions posted. So i basically effed up my phone to the point of being stuck in the samsung recovery loop, no hardware download mode, no clockwork recovery, no update.zp, no adb download.
I really thought I had completely bricked my phone, I tried this just out of desperation and what do you know, push update.zip over and over and click and it goes through, which allowed me to get into download mode.

nice , you just have to re-root and install the new rom again , if it brick again , just use this method and you are good again.many of us forgot to disable the voodoo before we restore or install new rom and this crashes the phone.
Need some help really bad
Ok so I have a similar situation as you did (OP), only mine is a bit worse... In my irrational "in the moment" fear of the situation, I used adb reboot recovery to get into recovery mode (HW locked phone) and I did the option that deletes all the **** on the phone and restores the phone to its original format (I think it reinstalled the OS or something, because it looks brand new). So now, whenever I boot up, it does the annoying black screen with the 4 glowing buttons thing for a while, and then eventually the OS actually shows up on the screen. Then it does "scanning media" thing over and over again, but thats not the main problem. I figured, hey this isnt so bad atleast I found your thread and would be able to use your method to help restore my phone... the problem is that somehow my "settings" button is totally gone from the app menu, and I cant get it into debug mode, so I cant use either adb or your method or ANYTHING!! My phone is practically bricked as I cant do anything because its constantly laggy and turns back to the black screen thing, and then when it is showing the homescreen I cant do **** because even swiping to another screen takes like 5 minutes to do cause its so laggy. So basically I ****ed up, and I really need some help.. Im kinda a noob at this whole thing and im really outa options as far as I can tell.. does anyone know what I can do to repair my phone? Thanks!

No it shouldn't affect anything other than whatever data/files you had on the internal sd card (music, videos, etc.) If you factory reset and reinstall MIUI you should be fine.

-data can not be wiped (Processbar starts but never really start doing something) CWM6. I had some other recoverys and they gave me some messages like can not accsess data/csc or something like these messages in other posts.
-can not do anything in recoverymode exepted, wipe cache.
-can not update zip
-can not gain accsess to sdcard ore sideby
-cant reboot in recovery.
i flashed with odin (and Aries.ops):

-the right StockROM
-phone seems to be bricked
-no access with Quickflash (dont know if debug mode was or is enabled)
i found some people with similar problems with other devices (i9000 // i9100), but not with the i9001. so i write it here.
always the answer was try a full wipe/reset, but i cant or dont know how to it when the recoverymod or stock recovery doesnt do it.

i geuss there is an hardware issue, so that all these fine mods are biting on stone, trying to format the "partition"
This results in unbootable systems..i think
At least i tried cm-9-20130220-EXPERIMENTAL-ariesve-rc5 with kernel 3.00, no luck.

yes, i tried but it did not work, neither from stock or custom ROM.
I'm having the exact same problems. It all started when I updated CWM to 6.0.2.8 as recomended by ivendor, in order to flash CM10. Since then I can't wipe data partition, and no matter what I flash (through both Odin and CWM), the phone doesn't boot anymore. Tried to restore original Samsung ROM, no success... Hasn't anyone figure it out? It seems a large number of user have dealt with this issue in the last days, perhaps the coder of CWM 6.0.2.8 should explain how to fix this mess.
I went to a local phone service, and they said they can't do anything, the whole internal memory has to be replaced. I can't believe this.
No solution?
I have exectly the same problem and i tried everything. I still can get to recovery and download mode, because i didnt mess with reseting broken partition. Can this be solved? I didnt find anyhing in threads, and it seems that a lot of people have this kind of problem now. It all happend on my s+ while i was trying to flash CM10 Beta4.

I managed to "rescue" my eMMC-bricked phone by doing everything I could find about the eMMC brick bug killed my i9001. No root but I can live with that until someone comes up with a better fix..

1. Get TWRP 2.2.2.1 or CWM 5.5.0.4/the new 2.6-based 6.0.2.8 CWM recovery flashed.
2. Use QuickWipe (link in my post to the OP).
3. Use ODIN 4.43 to flash that 1.4GB fixmev2.tar file (I did it at least 2-3 times during different stages)
4. Follow the instructions in the links in my post.

6. Wait for the devs to solve this problem permanently with new kernels and ROMs and thank them when they solve it.

Install the CWM by room (room enox iodak08 +), I can enter the bootloader, installing, when reboot the sistem entering the boot but does not start with the system and back to CWM after being taken. I can not get into the room and I can get into CWM. I've done factory reset and wipecache, I returned instal to the room, and nothing, enters the boot but does not start with the room.
I'm in a tricky situation, I stopped to have a mobile phone and I stick one paperweights. Need a little help.

As always - flash a kdz and start from scratch if you can't get it working. And ... SEARCH

Install or reinstall latest drivers from LG and try again when it does'nt work change usb port or try it on other PC.
Good Luck..
as I am in CWM recovery, removed the sd card and put a room.zip and flash. Did the installation but when "reboot sistem" back to cwm recovery.
The problem is that the Phone was locked into CWM recovery. And I have no way to recognize the phone on PC. Is there any way to unlock the CWM recovery v6.0.4.5?

no. boot into s/w mode and flash kdz. there are plenty of guides. if your pc cant detect your phone while it's in s/w mode, then reinstall drivers

It has been stated time and time again that your must NEVER carry out a vendor OTA on a rooted or modified device. It causes a problem 90% of the time as the OTA has no flexibility to deal with something it isn't expecting to find - so you get exactly what you have.
Just be thankful that it is almost impossible to hard-brick our device or you really would have a paperweight. Instead you just need to search and read a little to get it back up and running.

You need to get your PC to recognise the phone, thats the first step in this repair (unless the usb port is broken, there's no reason why it wont recognise, whats your OS and version, usb 2 or 3?)
why not put cm10.1 on a microsd and flash it from there?

it still won't work, after upgrading it ota while having custom recovery installed, a person will be locked to recovery for some reason (atleast other people were). the only way to fix it that i know of is to reflash a kdz

cmon, pay some attention you don't need to turn on the phone, or boot into the system itself to boot into s/w mode. now, there are tons (like 3 or 4 guides, plus many other topics opened by people with exact same problem like you) threads that tell you what to do (hint: figure out how to boot into s/w mode), so i'll let you search around for the guide.
I suggest using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682146
It's easier, faster and safer than flashing a .kdz file. (Plus, it tells you how to get into the s/w upgrade mode!)

I think this method also flashes a kdz, but does it automatically for you. But yeah, this one is easier than manually flashing. Thanks for posting it
Also, thiy method will format internal sd card. My suggestion is to do a data/system format from cwm before you go in to flashing a kdz, either manually or automatically, so you don't end up with formatted internal sd card
A big thanks to SimonTS, JoinTheRealms, Flying_Bear and balloon27. This is a fantastic forum and you guys are spectacular. Due to professional reasons only going back to the forum after seven days, I go to the sea and I'm without net. Got this getaway just to thank you for the care provided, the mobile phone is the same and will just touch it after a week. Once again, thank you very much.
I just make the process advised by balloon27 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2682146). I have my 4X hd back .... yupi, yupi, yupi, yupi, yupi, ..... you guys are just the greatest. Once again a big thank you all of you. The 4X HD is working like a charm, a thank-you to the forum.
Hi all, I have an i9000 with a broken screen and digitiser. I need to recover the data from it (pictures mainly). There is no display at all but the phone is working otherwise - I can hear it booting up and I can put it into Download and Recovery modes.
Unfortunately it's running the stock firmware so I can't use Recovery Mode to mount USB storage. When turned on normally, it will connect to my PC but obviously I can't press the button to mount storage (why doesn't it mount automatically???).
Does anyone have any ideas? I am considering flashing a new kernel to get CWM Recovery and possibly blindly mount USB storage. But I don't know the current stock firmware so I'm unsure which version of Semaphore/CF-root to flash...
Is there any other way? Other than buying another i9000 with a working LCD/digitiser which would be too expensive.

Try this: http://78.46.194.137/kernels/Semaphore_2.7.4.tar . Flash it via Odin.

Thanks for that. Is it definitely possible to flash it without interaction on the phone? I've flashed with Odin before but it's been a while.
If I did flash it successfully, do you know which version of CWM would it use? I need to know the exact order of options in the CWM Recovery so I could blind mount the USB storage...

Well, I'm on KK and I'm using a kernel different from the one I sent you (Higher Version). I will let you know after some research!
Why don't you get your phone to the nearest Samsung Service Center otherwise?

Cheers! I think it would be too expensive to take to a Service Centre unfortunately (plus there aren't any nearby). I'm looking at broken i9000s on Ebay at the moment, maybe I can find one for not too much and swap the parts over...

Annoyingly I think it's disabled - I have tried using adb but it doesn't show up under devices. It's my sister's phone which is why it's not rooted (or backed up!) etc.

Okay! After flashing the kernel I asked you to and getting into recovery mode, click the volume down button 5 times and then, enter it and click again.
NOTE: The Backup will take at max half an hour. So, I suggest you leave it on charging whilst it backs up and take a look at it after 1 hour

Thanks so much! Just to clarify - scrolling down 5 times and pressing enter twice mounts the USB storage? Then I can access the internal SD card and back up the contents using my PC?
Also for the flashing process - I put the phone in Download mode, connect it to PC and flash using Odin, selecting the 2.7.4 tar as PDA? Then disconnect phone and remove battery, then boot into CWM?
Also another issue I'm worried about is the current firmware on the phone, because apparently Semaphore 2.7.4 won't work on pre-JW4 firmwares. Is there any way to check the current firmware using Odin or something?

Scrolling down 5 times and clicking twice runs the backup. You don't need to mount USB Storage! As for the flashing process you're right and it will work as long as you have the USB Drivers installed!
And yeah, the thanks button is right there (where ever it is).

Oh OK, where does the backup go? I'm not using a MicroSD at the moment. I think it would be best for me just to mount the USB storage so I can retrieve the photos etc to my PC. I don't need a full backup, I just need to transfer the important files to my PC.
Also you may have missed my previous comment, I'll paste it here:

The Backup is mostly stored in the Internal SD Card. Regarding the flashing thing, Even if you flash a KK Kernel, it would boot to Recovery, but not to system.
