flashed couple roms all through internal memory (not the sd-card, as the phone does not recognise external card in recovery), now accidently did phone reset in the HBOOT, load again found that can't even access internal memory in discovery to flash new roms. what i do? please help.
at least tell me why couldnt access sd-card?
from the recovery, it only can read the internal partation but not the sd-card, why？ ｃａｎｔ ｅｖｅｎ ｆｉｎｄ ｉｔ ａｎｙｗｈｅｒｅ

hello,
I explain what happened.. after a little bad luck I briked my phone, but I have the update.zip to restore the previous state, the problem I have is that update.zip is in my pc.
how can I transfer the update.zip file to my phone if it's bricked?
I tried to go into CWM recovery, and then connect via ADB, but my pc it doesn't detect the phone (I've installed samsung usb drivers from this forum). also I tried the option "mount USB storage" in CWM but my pc doesn't do anything, and I have the sdcard mounted.
what can I do? thanks in advance!
best regards!
Jord
try to put the file on external sd and see if you can flash it thru recovery.
otherwise boot into download mode and flash that son of a ***** !!!
thanks a lot for your answer
the problem is that I have a trip pictures in internal SD card, that's why I'm avoiding to flash again through Download mode. (I have all other data in a backup except the pictures!)
now I've copied the update.zip to the external sd, I've mounted the external sd, but when I chose external_sd folder to apply the update.zip it says that "no files found" all possible methods aren't working
it was worth a shot but i didnt think it would work.
i think to flash from the external sd requires a steam kernel.
anyway, try do do a factory reset and see it that helps. along with formatting cache / dalvik cache
this will not delete items on your internal sd card

Odin doesn't touch the Internal SD, so why should that be an issue?
thanks both for your answers.
the problem is that I have voodoo lagfix enabled, and I can`t disabled it because it says that there is not enough free space on sd card (because of the pictures I want to save), so I think that with voodoo lagfix enabled I can't restore the firmware via odin, unfortunately. I wish I'm wrong
thanks a lot again
Just flash 2.1 with 3 files + re partition checked

my odin shows that they are two devices connected when I connect my phone (because of voodoo lagfix enabled) so.. are you saying that even if in that state, I reflash my stock firmware with repartition enabled, my sdcard data will be fine after reflashing? I ask that because unfortunately I'm not sure
thanks a lot
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 will not mount /sd-ext and now I cannot get my ROM installed on to the phone.
everything inside the phone has been formated
I think the next step should be to update recovery to the latest version and see if it recognizes the sd card. If this is the case I'm not real clear how to go about doing this. , or if there is an alternative way to load a ROM.
Any help would be appreciated
As an alternative u could flash (through Odin) a Dev Kernel that has CWM baked in, reboot into CWM and flash ur Rom from there. Ur choice of Kernel is dependent on what Rom ur wanting to go to... Froyo, Gingerbread, i897, i9000, etc. [as a side note, if u want a gingerbread rom, u will need gingerbread bootloaders]
I'm not sure how to flash through Odin (ill look that up) any other recovery on my phone at this point, i've always had a rom installed any time I change or update a recovery.
Let us know how it turns out.
Why are you trying to install a Rom from the external SD card? From cwm, click on mounts and storage, mount usb, copy your Rom to the internal sd card
Sent from my Inspire 4G
can you explain with some more detail the process of coping the rom to the internal sd card? I know that cwm can recoginze the internal sd card and if I get the rom on there I'm sure I can get this phone working.

reboot to recovery
plug phone into computer
'mounts and storage'
'mount usb storage'
copy rom of your choice from your computer to the drive that now shows up on your computer
unmount
in cwm recovery, browse to INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD
point it to the rom you just copied to the internal sdcard
confirm
after flash reboot...new rom
Thanks to Pirateghost & For2ndTwin for you input. Pirate, what you suggested worked like a champ and I now have the phone working.
Hi all
i went to install another custom rom and decided after flshing roms nearly every day i would do a complete clean install
and i stupidly formatted sd card from CWM recovery, now my phone will not boot.
I can still get into recovery and download mode but from recovery there is nothing to flash from,
no roms or kernels.
Will i have to flash a stock rom from PC odin and start again? I have read Dr Ketans guide but nowhere can i find
any instruction how to flash when my phone is not recognised. My Pc will not see any cards but odin can see the phone.
If im wrong can anybody point me in the right direction?
many thanks in advance
Go to mounts and storage in recovery and select "USB mass storage mode" (or something like that at the end of the list). Connect your phone to your PC, copy the zip, unmount from PC, unmount from recovery.
in recovery its " Mount USB storage"
Direct on PC
In that situation, as the phone does not work, except recovery or download mode, it's better to take the SD card out of the phone, put it on the PC and copy a ROM on it. Then put back the SD card to the phone, return to the recovery mode to flash the new ROM.
Hi guys!
Here's my situation:
- P990, tonyp's PA 2.6 v.13, old bootloader, Kowalski kernel exp. version 12x
- Phone started boot looping (no obvious cause)
- Tried deleting cache. Didn't help.
- Tried flashing the same ROM from external SD. Didn't help.
- Tried restoring working backup (boot and system only, not complete restore) from CWM. Didn't help.
So then I guess I have to do a complete factory reset, but that means I'll lose everything on my internal SD card, right? I want to make a copy first so that I can keep my files. My nandroid backups are only 2.x GB, so I guess they don't include everything on the internal SD card.
I tried to connect the phone to my laptop, but nothing happened, so I deleted/reinstalled drivers from the LG website. That didn't work, but then I found this post which got me a little further. It said the installation was successful, but when I was in CWM, the disks (int. and ext. SD) wasn't being recognized. When I rebooted recovery (from CWM) or just rebooted the device, the computer recognized the discs and started installing four drivers, but as the phone either gets into CWM or just boot loops, it seems like Windows isn't able to finalize the installation of the drivers. This results in the SD cards not being functional in Windows. I can't even see disk labels or storage used/available.
Does someone have an idea of how I might be able to access the internal SD from Windows? Either by fixing the driver issue, or some other method?
I guess I have to fix this USB issue to be able to try to use adb pull to get all the stuff off the internal memory as well, right? Or is the connection between phone and computer not required to be "complete" to be able to do that? I do not remember for sure, but I believe I had turned on USB debugging before all this mess started. However, I have never used adb before.
I'm massively thankful for any help!

Can you tell me version of the recovery you use?
Did you tried wipe dalvik-cache? (Advance-->Wipe dalvik-cache)

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1.
Yes, I tried wiping dalvik cache as well, but that didn't fix it either.
Are there some other ways of getting out of the bootloop? I don't mind flashing stock rom or whatever else, as long as I can recover my internal SD.

Download AIO-toolkit from the developement forum. Install itt, and install nvflash drivers with it.
At the main screen select option 2, and then select option 2 again. Follow teh instructions on the screen, and select TWRP 2.5.0.0 to be installed, or cwm 5.0.2.8, both have working mass storage.
(6.0.3.1 has broken massstorage and adb interface. I think you installed cwm 6.0.3.1 through rom manager, if it that true you are on old bootloader.)

Aha, that explains it!
I installed CWM 5.0.2.8 and I got a little further than before. When I mount USB storage in CWM, my external SD card shows up on my computer, but not my internal SD card. What can be the reason for this? Could the card be corrupted, or are there other ways of getting the internal SD to appear?
I tried mounting everything I could mount from the Mounts and storage menu in CWM, but the external SD was still the only thing that showed up on my laptop.
Thank you so much for helping with this!

Do a factory reset with a working cwm. You will lose all your installed apps and their data, but it will keep data on internal sdcard. After the factory reset you can boot up into andorid

YES! I thought factory reset would delete the internal SD, so I didn't even consider that, but it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for caring and helping! You just made my week! :highfive:
I have trouble with my one, after install cm11 ROM my one did not recognize the internal sdcard,I tried connect to PC and there’s same problem. Reboot the phone in recovery mode and go to file manager I can see the sdcard. Any one can tell me what could I do( i did try format the sdcard).

Thx for any help.
