Hello guys, i'm trying to help my friend here. So he tried to flash cwm recovery wich was s2's recovery. He rebooted and took charging cable off when rebooting. His phone shut down and he booted it up again. First thing was WhatsApp said wrong date. Next thing was Es file explorer hadn't sdcard folder and his device said no sdcard. Yes he didn't had a sdcard but the sdcard folder was there ealrier. Now he can't download anything, take pictures, backup/restore and he can't even restore factory settings. He can send messages and call people. Please help us out here. And sorry for my bad english. Thank you!

So I was using Darky's ROM v9.3 and everything was fine for a couple of months. I had a force close on a game that always worked in past so went to reboot phone. At this time my phone simply failed to finish rebooting. The phone got past the "GALAXY" screen title and then was caught in the "Darky's ROM" title.
I still had download and recovery mode (clockworkmod) so I tried to do a recovery. The recovery file was from just after I had flashed Darky's ROM. This time when I rebooted the phone did not even make it past the "GALAXY" screen title. Furthermore, on this title screen, it initially shows that it is a "GT-i9000 M" but then the "M" drops from the model description.
I have been trying everything I can to simply get a clean copy of the rom onto my internal sd card but no matter what I do Samsung Kies wont connect to the device so that I can copy the .zip to reflash.
I have tried enabling and disabling debugging, I have tried using "download" mode, I have tried mounting system etc and all to no avail.
Pleas help! Can anyone give a detailed description of settings needed to connect to the pc successfully so i can download a rom for a reflash?
If your download mode works flash rom via odin

Hello! My friend's phone basically bricked while flashing. I did root first with stock recovery method, then i installed 6.0.1.4 touch cwm, which installed fine, but bootlooped to recovery(normal). I downloaded 6.0.2.6(which appeared as 6.0.2.7 in recovery), transferred it to ext sdcard, then installed it. No more bootloop(after datawipe), but now it said that too little memory, cannot perform this action. I checked it from settings, no memory was mounted? Weird. Well, i did as i promised to my friend, installed remics jb v2, and gapps. Starts fine, incredibly fast compared to stock! Now i take the phone to my friend, and then he puts his sim card in, askes pin code, entered. Now, there is still nothing in signal bars. I check phone info, no imei(000000...00) imei sv 00. I tried to install stock again, nothing. Would using only phone to install recovery and others affect this? Because i have done several flashings with this model and always has worked. But then i had computer in use. Help please, i told him that it has it's own risks, i do not take responsibility. I have no efs backup, that's the problem. It usually takes backup automatically. Thanks!
P.s. Sorry for possible typos, i'm writing this on my tablet.

Try to install broodrom rc5 rev2 via odin. I think it can resolve your problem.

Broodrom helped me when i tried to flash cm10 with a bad recovery and also here's a hint dont use 6.0.2.6.
Try a non-touch one.
Guys, please help me.
I just installed the Avatar Rom for my xperia z. The boot logo came on just fine and then everything went completely black. It still makes a noise when I plug it into the computer, but other than that, nothing happens. Please help. I made a backup of the stock rom but I cant access the recovery. Someone please help.

flash a .434 or .253 FTF file
Flash a 434 file. Root it and put the dual recovery back on it. Then u should be able to use the backup file u did again. Just do not wipe Ur memory otherwise it is gone. Recap. Flash 434, root, dual recovery and restore Ur backup.

Thank you guys for replying. I got it to work... I just sorta panicked. I just got this phone and was absolutely mortified when this happened. Although I do have another problem... My NFC won't work. But I'll just put that in another thread. Lol

After rooting n flashing xz1dualrecovery with the help of pc and then flashing super su 2.00 i am facing strange problems! After a day my phone is not booting in recovery, no vibration or yellow lights during restart! Then after yesterday i saw that its not switching off when i hold power button and then click 'power off' only reboot to safe mode and holding power n volume up is working. I had uninstalled google play services, google plus n all except google search, google sttings, maps nplay store. I uninstalled youtube and notes too. N Yes i had backed up entire partion via xz1dualrecovery, but after that due to insufficient space i manually delete the backup file from sdcard/clockworkmod/
What do i do now?
And also tell me please that whether i update 4.4.4 via ota when it come(my phone is rooted, bl locked) ? Thanks in advance...
N last of all kindly suggest me what apps do i install now to improve my phone(i had installed busybox free, rom toolbox, android tuner, set cpu, trickstermod, add free and uninstalled them, only root app present is titanium backup pro).

You lost recovery and had all those problems because you installed busybox...
Read OP from XZDualRecovery - it clearly says - do not install busybox.
Busybox is included and if you installed another version you'll lose recovery...
You can flash fw via flashtool and root device again to repair that...

Sure you can...
You will lose root, of course but for now, there's no fw for Xperia which cannot be rooted.
So, when PC Companion say - update is ready, update your device and root ut using easy root, install NUT recovery and you'll be rooted with recovery again.
There's no "better" recovery on locked bootloader, there's only one recovery by NUT.
In that recovery you can choose CWM, TWRP and PhilsRecovery.
CWM and TWRP are my favorites and you there's not much difference between them.
Both will do the job...

Revert everything to stock. Then flash recovery, and from recovery restore your backup.
