Hi ! So a few weeks after succesfully unlocking/rooting/ROMing my phone, yesterday morning at exactly 830am, everything stalled. I had to force shutdown the device, and when I did, it encountered a bootloop. I could get into recovery mode, but TWRP would freeze on logo, and CWM would freeze on formatting /data. I had later realised that this was because neither of the recovery options could mount /Data or my SD card. I removed my SD card to check it's status on my computer, but now my computer can't detect it. Fast forward I put the SD card back into my phone and reboot, and now somehow I can't even get into recovery. TWRP keeps flashing the logo, and CWM brings me to an android logo that keeps reflashing as well. I'm not sure what type of situation I got myself into or how to get out of this, but if simple instructions are possible to be provided I doubt i'd have difficulties fixing the problem.

Hello,
first of all sorry for my bad english. I have a problem with my phone and really need your help.
So, what happened:
yesterday I installed baseband 521 V20s and Django Manouche custom rom. I didn't like the rom very much so I decided to move on an another rom. I chose ParanoidAndroid 11. I installed it from CWM, like it should be installed, but then I got a problem. The phone stucked on boot animation (image of paranoid android in the middle of the screen and little androids falling down like raindrops). And nothing happened for 5-6 minutes so I pulled out the battery and turn on again a phone. Then I got message that goes something like this: "optimizing applications" and when it finnished, I over again got boot animation and nothing happened. I waited for 10 minutes, and then finally the boot animation stopped and screen went in black. It respond to touch (soft keys got light when I touch phone), but black screen doesn't disapere.
So, what to do? I didnt do nandroid backup, I erased Django rom from internal sd card so I cannot flash back to it via CWM. The PC doesn't recognize the phone any more so I can't put new rom to internal sd card. I did, however, manage to put the rom to external SD card, but in CWM recovery, it says that "Can't mount sd card".
What should I do??
I hope that you understand my description of problem and that you can help me.
Easiest way is to boot into CWM. Under "Mounts and Storage" choose "Mount USB Storage". You should be able to copy a new ROM to the internal SDCard from your computer.
If that does not work, search this forum for guides on how to use "Smartflash" or "NVflash".

Reflash ParanoidAndroid after a full wipe (cache, system, data, dalvikcache) without flash other kernel or gapps. Then reboot it should work

@TrymHansen
When I do that in CWM, Windows ask me to format card. What should I do?
@Gjot
Unfortunately, that didn't help me.

Try a factory reset in CWM. (Or wipe /data and /cache).
This should hopefully fix your boot loop.
And when windows asks you to format the card then do it.
Could be that it got corrupted (which would be the reason why CWM can't mount it).
You will loose all data on it, but it looks lost, anyways.

What options should I choose? What "File system", "Allocation unit size"? If I use default options (Fat and default allocation size) Windows pops up this message: "Windows was unable to complete format."
Should I try with another sd card?
Anyway, I did some research and find out that I could use adb to push rom to the phone. But, I stuck there also. I finally found out how to open adb (and even what is it) but when I use command "adb devices" to test if it works, I got "List of devices attached" and nothing else
I know that problem is in drivers, but I dont know how to resolve it.
I finally solved it.
Thanks to PaulOBrien and NVflash.
Now I'm back to froyo and have unrooted device but it works!!!!
Hi all,
Last night, i rooted by N7000 through PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.08.5-signed and was successful in doing that.
Later i wanted to update my device to 4.2.2. So i downloaded cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-n7000.zip file and kept in my external SD card.
Then in recovery mode,i wipe the factory data. There was option wipe data or wipe to install new ROM. I selected the latter one. Wipe for installing new om was successful. Then i went to update zip.file option. But since the file was in external sd card, it was not detected and i was not able to select the file. Then i rebooted the phone but only 'Samsung galaxy N7000' screen was coming and nothing was happening.
I rebooted my phone many times but same screen was coming. Then in morning i went in advance options. I selected Recovery Bootloader. Downloading screen was coming and nothing was happening. Then i switched my off and trying to start in recovery mode but its not starting.
I thin i have no checked USB debugging.
Kindly help soon as i am helpless without phone. Your early response will be highly appreciated.
With the option "install new Rom" you removed your old Rom from your device. So it is only logical that your device won't boot into it.
Next time follow the installation instructions given in the CM-thread exactly.
And of course you can choose a zip from external sd card in CWM. So take a look again.
Best thing to do for you: boot into download mode, install a stock Rom with PC Odin and use it without changing things.
Hey Thanks for the help. But now i am facing new problem.
I flashed my phone using odin with stock rom.
Later i rooted with PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.08.5-signed and then updated it with cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-n7000.
This time i was successful. My phone was updated to 4.2.2.
Then i used it for some time and switched it off for removing the external SD card. After that i tried to switch on my phone, its not working.
Nothing is appearing on screen. I charged it and then tried to switch it on but nothing is coming on screen.
When i try to switch on my phone in Recovery mode or in download mode a thin line on the screen appears and then disappears and then nothing comes on screen.
Help please. Last suggestion worked.Kindly advise
So I flashed a new .kdz to the D415R in order to root it again, which was successful albeit a couple bugs that other people were having. Following this I installed a font with the app Font Installer from the Play Store, worked flawlessly, and then I was not satisfied with it so I chose a different font. Upon doing so the phone got stuck in a boot loop. I am able to boot into recovery and wiped my /data, /cache and dalvik cache with TWRP. After this I figured I would be okay. Nope, I was wrong. My phone will not boot up past the LG Life is Good screen. Literally nothing but an endless display of the LG logo to mock me. I have a CM11 ROM on my sdcard in the download section but TWRP for some stupid ****ing reason has decided that it isn't an important folder on my card and won't let me access it. What do I do? My computer doesn't detect the sdcard like it would if I was using CWM. Any advice, tips or help? I only have one phone and kind of need it. All help would be appreciated.
you're unable to connect to your pc in download mode and reflash stock rom again ?
My moto g xt1063 keeps rebooting but I can't figure out why. Sometimes it goes to the home screen and works fine for a few minutes before rebooting again, most of the times it gets stuck on the bootloader warning screen and reboots. I can access recovery though.
I had planned to install cyanogenmod on it a couple of months ago but I got stuck on an "Error updater binary in zip" so I just gave up. The device is running Official Rom provided by Telcel (México) and has SuperUser on it too, I had a notification about the binary but updating didn't fixed the problem.
I have a backup on my computer (mac) but since I can't get the phone to sync by usb I was wondering how to copy it via recovery (clockworckmod v6.0.4.7) or if it's best to buy a micro sd and try to install from there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First try a factory reset.
Use an sdcard yo retore backup
If fail return to stock rom
If you have a recovery installed try to make a backup from there and save it in some place like a sd card.
After that I suggest you install CM 12.1 21/05/2015 and look how it works.
Or if you prefer then reinstall the stock rom.
Post in wrong section, its 1st gen. Please move
So recently I decided to unlock my bootloader and flash CM12 on my Moto G 1st gen
Everything went fine till a friend told me to download and install Xposed. As I launched the app and hit frame work it mentioned creating a backup before installing so I did using TWRP. From there I rebooted the phone and thats where I ran into problems, it started to bootloop. After many hours (3 days to be exact) I still cant get it out of this state.
I thought I fixed it by reflashing, but apparently it just flashed it onto a seperate partition and the new ROM didnt work well (Notification bar didnt pull down right, no home button or multi-task). Since it didnt work I tried to wipe it and reflash but that apparently wouldnt boot, then I lost the ability to access recovery.
ADB doesnt find the device, I think usb debugging got disabled at some point.
I need some help on how to unbrick this, I'm 4 days in and still out of luck. Please!
Nobody?
You can´t access the recovery at all? When i get into a bootloop i need to do a little trick to enter recovery; hold down the power button for several seconds until it reboot, then as soon as the screen turns black hold the power button and volume down for 5 seconds to enter into bootloader. Then enter recovery from the bootloader, do a full wipe and install a stable rom. If you can´t connect the phone to the pc, take the sd card out and put it on another phone so you can connect it to a pc to transfer a stable rom for flashing on your phone.
Sorry this is late, completely forgot I post this. I can now get into recovery although some features dont work as the phone has nothing else on it. Got a USB OTG cable today and going to try mount cm12 that way.
Update : Using TWRP mount I now have files on the device (Data, boot, sys, system) which I didnt have before. Although I'm now getting a E:unable to mount '/system' but TWRP says Successful. Any thoughts?
Update 2 : Flashed it another 2 times, that seemed to fix it. Now no SIM detected.
