If you don't have a computer I would recommend using a thumb drive and otg cable if you have one and use that to flash the ROM again.

Okay .... I have sucessfully rooted the wife's original Verizon Moto Droid and I have installed CWM via ROM Manager. I have performed a backup of her current ROM.
From the looks of things here, I will just load the ROM I want to flash onto her sd card and then flash it via ROM Manager. Is this correct? If it fails half way through the flash, can I still enter CWM via the key sequence to re-flash/restore the phone to its original state using the backup on the card from ROM Manager?
I gave her this phone when I bought my Samsung Droid Charge when it came out back last March. I can flash ROMs & Kernels on that phone all day long but the Moto Droid is an entirely different animal. I want to be sure of my fail-safes before I flash anything here.
Thanx In Advance for Your Help
Okay ... cwm just didn't take the first time I flashed it. I am now able to enter CWM from a powered off state.
[Q] If I flash a rom and it doesn't take half way through the flash, will I still be able to enter cwm and install the backup of her current rom? That ROM is not in a zip format on the sd card. It is a tar file and the other components in a folder.
I want to be sure I can recover the phone if I experience a bad flash before I attempt anything. Remember, this is my WIFE'S phone !!! LOL
Any help appreciated.
Edit: Also, I installed RSD lite on my computer but when I open it and hook the phone up, it doesn't see the phone. At least, from what I can tell it doesn't. I click 'show' device and nothing happens. Is this a flashing tool or do I put the ROM on sd card and flash via rom manager? And the fail-safe !! Gotta have the fail-safe !!!
Hello, I'm kinda new to the android scene.
Yesterday, I wanted to restore my phone to factory settings but the s3 mini toolkit said that usb debugging was not on (but it was) so I thought I could just wipe everything using TRWP, boy was I wrong.
I tried to flash my phone back to stock via odin but my computer won't even detect the phone(uninstalled and installed phone firmware). I tried placing the md5 file into the microsd in hopes of flashing it via TRWP but it's not recognized either.
Did I brick my phone? lol
Phone does not recognise microsd or md5?
In first case, try ADB and push some custom rom to phone. Try with universal naked driver.
In second case, try .zip custom rom.
But if it is like TWRP for ASUS TF300, then wipe everything means everything, so you're doomed.

Do you even get a bootscreen? Its possible to factory reset in twrp but i guess you wiped the system partition too
thanks guys! it seems I solved the problem through further use of google
I just reflashed the rom that I was previously on with TRWP and everything works now woot!
So I rooted my daughters samsung SGH-T599N, and installed philz touch and was planning on putting a custom rom on the phone. unfortunately out of habit, I put the rom file, and gapps file on the external SD, booted to recovery.. wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset to install a new rom. Unfortunately this device will not access the external SD card through the recovery, and now the phone just gets stuck with the samsung logo when turned on (so i cant turn debugging on again).... I can't get odin, or any other program to read and connect properly.... and now I'm stuck... I have been searching online for several days now trying to find a solution, but have come up empty. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.. I was even thinking to use adb to transfer files over but have been unsuccessful as of yet ...
sorry to burst your bubble but this exhibit 4g section is for T679 version.

do you have cwm installed? if so you could boot into that and in the advanced menu there's an option called mount usb storage. just make sure your phone is plugged into your computer boot into cwm and then advanced/mount usb storage, then open my computer and your external drive should so up also your internal I believe, so you could transfer your new rom and gapps to a new location of your choice.. though i'm not sure how you'd would do this on odin or other recovery software.
I actually had philz touch cwm installed, but I resolved the problem by flashing back to stock with odin in recovery mode... turns out this device just doesnt read external sd from recovery. adb push didnt work, sideload didnt work..lol . But good ole odin saved my butt again

i have the t599 using it now. got twrp from vanir rom after getting cwm and root. then flashed rom over. been messing with both vanir and carbon. but anyways i can flash from sdcard and extsd. only issue i have at the moment with new roms. after installing 2 games i have 0 freespace on /data. then again i dont use my phone much and just too lazy to find a workaround atm.
also everything ya need to know for the t599 is here as far as recoveries, custom roms, etc
I have tried to boot in recovery to flash Xposed SDK only to find the phone is doing a proper reboot, even when using NDR and selecting reboot to recovery and when I hold the volume down and the Sony logo, nothing works,. I have tries using NUT's installer to add it again, although it finishes successfully the recovery isn't there, I am not bothered about flashing or wiping if I have to, but is there any other way first? Its all started when my phone won't recognise my SD Card, unless I remove it and put it back in and then on reboot its missing the card again.
Same problem
I have the same problem but do not have a computer. I was reading about it and found that after you flash a new ROM before booting it up, you have to flash recovery (especially NUTs Dual recovery) and then boot. It is weird since most ROMS have a preinstalled recovery and I do not get why we have to do this. I keep losing recovery after flashing a new ROM and will try to flash CWM. NUTs dual recovery keeps getting lost for me. I will borrow a friends laptop and get it done over the weekend.

I've never had the problem before and I have flashed this handset a few times, recovery should have went on when I flashed the pre-rooted rom as I created my own, but doesn't matter as I have already tried to put the recovery back on. I will however try another recovery.
flash recovery without PC?
Do you know anything about flashing a recovery without a PC? I have an idea but do not wanna test it without a PC at hand. What if I extract the recovery.img file and put it on my internal SD and boot the phone? Will it install the recovery? If you know of any other way please let me know

I'm sorry phone software is not my speciality, I am new to this whole flashing and recovery on phones. I really wish I could help you. However can I ask you if there is now way you can get into recovery, how can you flash it from within the phone, can the phone read img files?
EDIT: I realized that i had the wrong TWRP version for the backup, i already could restore the correct backup and the phone is already working with CM12.1
Hi, i have a i8190N phone, so, i flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 via TWRP Manager (the data pins on the charge port don't carry signal so i can't connect my phone to a pc for data), after doing it i made a backup, i tried to flash CM12.1 and it didn't work, so i restored the backup and it came back to normal, after that i did a second try, this time using CWM Touch, failed again flashing, so i flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 and it didn't work restoring this time, it gets stuck at middle and after long times it says failure, i really need help because i'm soft bricked because of this! :'(

If you made a backup with 2.6.3.0, it only can be restored with twrp 2.6.3.0, not with other twrp version. Made with CWM, only can be restored with cwm version xxx, got it!? So, flash/install back 2.6.3.0, if you want to restore that backup

Do yo enable USB Debugging on your phone? And try to wipe data also while wiping in custom recovery, then install root file (I suggest to use superSU) before you flashing CM12.1 rom again.
