Sdcard empty after installing a rom - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm having a strange problem with my phone. I cannot install any rom through TWRP. I mean it says "installation completed", but sdcard is empty. There are not a single file there!
I thought about 5.0 after unsuccessful installation of xnote rom. Everything went fine through odin and I was able to use the phone. What I noticed after flash, there are some additional apps from xnote like xposed, xnote transformer, app settings etc.
My actual TWRP version is 2.8.5.0 and the phone is N910F
Any advice?
FOR ANYONE COMING TO MY THREAD - THE SOLUTION IS AT THE END OF THE THREAD.

My problem is with the phone itself. My sd card is fine.
by /scdcard I meant the place where any rom is installed
Or I missunderstood something

Refresh
Changed the sd card and still nothing. It happened after installing Lollipop TWRP is wrong or what?
TWRP says my rom is installed correctly but I see nothing in /sdcard folder ...
UPDATE FOR ANYONE WHO IS SEARCHING FOR SOLUTION!
My Sandisk Ultra 32gb card is fine, it wasn't the sd card problem.
One day my friend wanted to check my android version and asked me why I'm running Lollipop, when I'm running Kitkat actually. I figured out that I got two android systems mixed together. Some people say I got two "caches".
To fix the problem simply download the stock rom that originally came with your phone. Go to your custom recovery, delete all data/format reset, make sure all is clean and double check that.
Then install the stock one through odin, turn the phone on and set up the beginner stuff (language,wifi,google account etc.).
//my phone asked me whether I want to update or not and actually I did the update but it shouldn't apply some magical stuff to my tutorial
Then root your device, flash custom recovery and you're good to go

[Q] Sim card not read. Imei and other stuff set to unkown

Hi guys.
I've rooted my phone then updated the room too crash.
After the room settled down, I manually reboot it after then persistent boot loops happened and the imei was also gone(I've tried to go to sretings as quick as possible). I tried re flashing the ROM but no avail.
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance guys.
Edit: I'm now on KitKat

it won't resolve the no IMEI part AFAIK.
Hi again
Sorry for the confusion. My phone crashed during office hours and can't think elaborate more.
The situation.
1. I came from Omega Rom v6. Decided to manually reboot because battery was draining like hell.
2. The samsung intro (samsung galaxy note 3 sm-9005 screen with the system message on the upper left) didn't show up with the said message.
3. Bootloop comenced.
4. Reflashed Omega hoping things would turn out ok. But no. My sim was not read and my interface buttons are not responding.
EDIT:
5. Then decided to flash new android os. Naming kitkat.
6. Bootloops are gone. And so is my IMEI and every other stuff found in that page.

Ah OK, so flash the EFS fix zip, then install Kitkat via Odin and you should be set.

Keep that EFS fix script on your SD card for just incase reasons in the future, it'll save you again one day... EFS on the Note is really hit and miss. Glad you got sorted

I was about to break down during office hours. Was thinking I am already carrying a $720 brick.
Thanks a lot guys.
Side note: I read this script a few days back even before trying to root my phone. @[email protected] never occurred to me that this script would save me.

Odin-compatible G900AUCU4BOF2 stock rom?

Hi, I'm stupid and bricked my phone.
I had rooted almost immediately after getting my phone, AT&T SM-G900A, and had no problems.
Used FlashFire to apply the 5.0 pre-rooted stock rom (OC4), and had no problems.
Decided today to use SuperSU's "Full Unroot" function, rebooted, and now I can't get past the AT&T logo on boot. And apparently even after that the phone is still rooted.
Tried the G900AUCU3BOC4-OneClick.exe Odin flasher, but it fails and I get "sw rev check fail [aboot]: fused 4 > binary 3" which from what I understand means I am trying to install a rom version that is older than the one I currently have.
Looked on the internet to see if there is any Odin-compatible tar.md5 file for the newer versions, hoping one of those would let me update. However, I can only find .zip files made by muniz_ri. Tried copying those to my microSD card and install through recovery, but it fails with "invalid header". It looks like those zip files only work with FlashFire, which I can't even get to anymore because I can't boot.
Is there a floating copy of one of the newer stock roms (can be unrooted, I don't care) that I can flash with Odin? Or is there another secret I am missing? I have been through dozens of threads here on the forums and they all seem to have a solution that just give me any results.
Thanks for any help!

Hello, try looking for G900A_OF2_Stock_Rooted_Rom.zip I think that is the file you are looking for. In case you dont find it I could upload it.
(I guess that was the file I used, downloaded a lot of ROMs that time)

He doesn't seem to be able to articulate what he's flashed. I'm not even sure he's on a Verizon phone.
I suggested that he Odin back to stock in his other thread and gave him the same thread you did. I'm not sure he's up to do even that.
Note: He'd have to re root if he uses the Odin method. I don't think he can Kies back. It won't recognize the ROM.

I have everything working except xposed. Do you use xposed?
I haven't tried xpose yet but I will tonight I already got a back up just incase. Did it boot loop when you flashed expose or did it just say it wasn't installed on the xposed installer.
asking the obvious here. Any word on TMO?
Downloaded the ruu had a few mishaps till I found the seamless-root latest one. HTC desire 626s boost. Gonna try exposed module. Some programs don't recognize the root fully yet. Don't ask or don't detect it.
Just curious how does the notification/settings tab look? Can you screen shot that also. Thanks
:c
I can not update, I get error 155, :crying:

Do you have busybox installed if not make sure you do Busybox is something that you install on your phone to give you some additional handy Linux commands. You need Busy Box installed because some commands are not available to you and you made need them for some root level tasks.
I'm not sure if Busybox is necessary to root, but I don't think so. But many root level apps require busybox, so if you don't install it you're losing some of the benefits of rooting
Busybox is a must. I'm running the version of xposed some recommended in another post for the sprint version work on boost too(framework 79, beta 4 xposed apk). Same company. Was trying custom animations. I believe just the app needed to be updated. All other apps work fine with root permions. 6=0=1 needs debloating. Needs Mordern Jesus.

SWEET, thanks. Was anyone on the stock debloated when they took the update?

Never actually owned a device that became eligible for an upgrade:laugh:
After update
Is anyone else getting force closes on like every game they try after updating and rooting/installing twrp and xposed, and fc on some apps or certain options in apps?
I have the Boost version of the HTC Desire 626s, and running the sprint_stock_626s_1.24.651.2_debloatedV2. I was using TWRP, but after problems today I flashed back to stock recovery, but it did not fix the problem.
Update keeps failing. I let it download, click ok and then it says unzipping file. After a minute or so it jumps to 100% and disappears, then another minute or so and the phone restarts to recovery with the red triangle and !. I press power and volume up to get to the next screen and at the bottom in yellow letters in reads..

Phone bricked while rooting

So i used this guide to root my phone:
youtube. com/watch?v=AMNVruAU6do
at the end it doesnt installed spuerSU and my phone have bootloop.
then i thought maybe factory reset would help. So i did it, and now i cant acces to my phone at all.
any thoughts?

Ok, need more info,
What model GRA ???
What Build No. ?
What you have tried since?
If the phone was bootlooping how did you access "factory re-set" ?
Have you done ANY searching/reading to help yourself, not least, even my advice in the post below "P8 Stuck at Boot"?
Have you any experience in flashing this phone or even others?
model GRA-l09
Build emui 4.03
so i used SRKToolHuawei 2.0 and it installed TWRP.
then i rooted, and it went into bootloop. So by this program i enterd TWPR again and did factory reset.
and i tried to reload lastest patch but i got "waiting for device", and its not moving from there.
only used kingroot to root another phone. and i tried looking on other forums for solution but nothing helped.
Have you tried downloading an official ROM, say B999, and putting the "update.app" into a folder on SD card named Dload and rebooting while holding all three buttons?
Have you read my advice here? :-

okey it worked and put me into TWRP mode. What i should do next? continue to root?
So i continued to root installed supersu and now my phone is working, but still i dont have root, and i cant find super su app. Anyway thx for help <3
@krullol
If using B399 you MUST use the latest versions of TWRP and SU.
Just follow the instructions in post #1,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...4-0-1-t3431249
TO THE LETTER, using these linked to files (TWRP and SuperSU) and, hey presto, a fully rooted P8.
