I updated the CMW recovery via ROM manager and now my tablet is bricked. I can only get into the recovery but it does not recognize my external sdcard and this is where my rom are. so there's no way to flash the rom.
Btw, the serial# start with B50.
Does anybody know i can resolve this?
Thanks

'No way to flash the rom' is not right. Seeing you have a B50, you should be able to do it with the nvflash method. Search this forum for the methods, there are a lot of threads with instructions.
Good luck.

NEVER EVER use ROM manger on the TF101, it is a well-known source of bricks.
Bad news: you lost all your data and there's no way around it.
Good news: you can use nvflash/wheelie to reflash the device.

You're not bricked, just needed to do a little searching.
Cold boot:
Hold Vol Down plus Power button
Wait till you see the options of Cold boot Linux or Wipe data
Choose Cold boot Linux and it should boot into the OS (Unless you wiped the system)
Use PERI to fix your recovery

If that don't work there's a thread that show you how to fix it via terminal our adb shell.

Of course NVFlash work too.
the story goes like this, I flash TWRP 2.2.0 did a nandroid and deleted all the necessary partitions to install the new rom, I put the rom in the SD card, TWRP is not mounting the sd card wich happens to work flawlessly in my phone, and pc, now i cant access the internal storage nor the sdcard, Please I dont know what to do anymore i cant get my cpuid because my tablet does not have an os so i cant select usb debugging, i cant access my internal storage either from the pc, im using skrilax-oz bootloader v7, the computer only recognizes the tablet in fastboot, how can i put a recovery in it via the bootloader in fastboot if posible.
If your PC will recognize Fastboot (you should have it listed in Device manager when you go to fastboot with Skirlaz Bootloader), then the easiest thing would be to get the proper recovery .img file. I suggest EZTerry Public revovery, or CWM. Most recent versions of both. Your choice. You can find CWM recovery image at tegraowners, or get the Public Recovery from the XDA Dev forum.
Boot your tab to fastboot.
Make sure the xxxxxxxxrecovery.img file is in the same folder as your Android/Android-sdk/Platform-tools folder. (has to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe)
Then open a Command window in that folder
Type fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxrecovery.img
Then hit enter
Remember, where xxxxxxxrecovery,img is the name of the recovery image.
This should hook you up.

Can you still go into recovery by power+volume down? If yes, then go back into trwp recovery and do the following. Mount option >click mount sd card and using external sd. Once you have those options clicked, go back to install option. There you will be able to access your external sd card. I think the best recovery to use now is thor 1.7.3.
Good luck,

it wont mount, that is why im having such a big issue trying to install a new recovery or flash the rom in the external sd card.
Ok, you have 2 different threads going. In this thread, you didn't mention anything about formatting your internal storage. This is why XDA has a rule about posting the same thing in multiple forums. Chances are you say something in one, and not the other. And what you will get is sometimes not good info, or even worse, no response.
Dees-troy and I have posted possible solutions. Problem is, other people get confused when they see it.
That little bit of missing info between the multiple posts can mean a big thing.
I will let it slide this time. Next time, I will delete one or the other.

TWRP is a good recovery. And it works for most. As with most recovery systems, it will have times when things don't work correctly. Call it a "hic-cup". And the only thing to do, is totally install something else. Works most of the time.
Dees Troy is a darn good Dev. And we're grateful to have him around. In this case, you had to do something radical to shock the system. Works every time
Also, throw a Thanks to Skirlax_CZ for the bootloader and the fastboot capability. If you didn't have that, your "stuff would be hanging in the breeze" about now.

Device/Phone model number?
Any samsung bootllop can be solved here though
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
Thanks for the reply
Some details then
Model is Samsung S4 GT-I9505
I rushed into booting and selected an aokp rom and then selected the latest apps file for it and got stuck in an endless boot loop.
I am now trying to install a GPE Rom
gpe-rom-for-galaxy-s4-android-4-4-4
I am still able to get into recovery and download mode.
I flashed philz_touch_6.15.6-jflte.tar.md5 using odin3 on windows then rebooted into recovery and did a clean up for new rom and factory reset then attempted to move the rom onto my phone and thats where I have run into trouble. I am trying to use adb to push the file into it because I seem to have somehow wiped the sdcard(i.e. in phil recovery under mounts and storage there is no /sdcard to mount or unmount.
Thins I tried:
Using a micro sd card and copying the file to it and inserting it in the phone and installing from /sdcard1 but it just aborts the install and gives me a failed error
I tried to push the file with adb by opening terminal cd to downloads where the rom is located and used
Code:
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0 rom.zip
but this never completes. it is supposed to return the size of the files but nothing happens. I know adb can see the phone as when I type adb devices I get back a response saying recovery
Can anyone give me any pointers or advice. Happy to start from scratch but so far every tutorial/discussion on installing roms etc i have followed has failed.
Incidentally I do not have a backup because I thought I made one successfully when I fist rooted but when I went to restore it it gave me a md5 hash invalid error
Thanks
Have you tried a different recovery? You can try TWRP 2.8.1.0 and see how it goes. Just us odin to flash the recovery and use a usb card reader to put the rom onto the SD Card. To be safe you can also try a different rom, if you are after a GPE rom, I recommend Dan's GPE rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
That is one of the roms I was hoping to install before I successfully flashed it back to stock.
Will look into it.
I couldn't use a card reader to put the rom on because I was having difficulty reading the external sd card in recovery.
I tried many different recoveries. TWRP, CMR and Philz but had no luck with any of them.
Do you know if all packages get made into a complete rom to install with Odin? like I did with my stock rom?
Just seemed an easier way to install it.
My english is very bad.
Your back Stock Rom with Odín download firmware SamMobile.
Custom, download custom again its possible corrupt download, wipe data, system, caché, Factory reset.
You have use one recovery or not installing previous backup for MD5 Missmatch
Format SD in the phone.
Proccess very slow with Odín install Stock Rom, root, recovery, install custom
Try with recovery using for previous backup for restore backup.
Mi inglés es muy malo, en inglés no te lo puedo explicar mejor.

Dont flash a custom rom on an already bootlooped phone.
Either flash your stock rom or you can restore a backup via recovery.
Then start experimenting again..as flashing and more flashing and more more flashing on a bootloop can cause a few things to go crazy.
It is not recommended. But then your choice. Its not a big task of coming to a stock firmware then continuing with things...

I found it a big task and I am used to this sort of thing. I got there eventually but thanks for the advice. Will keep that in mind in case I get stuck in a boot loop again.
Will pay more attention to backups etc when I flash the next one.

No generally what happens it people skip things while being hyper relating to flashing.
Basics are never to be left out. When adb terminals and things weren't there, the tedious processes were used to recover.
(flash stock..flash recovery..flash things then when you're in a boot loop if factory reset doesn't work)
And you should always have a backup+updated stock firmware handy.
If either doesn't work for you always have a support
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
Hi all
Got an I9505 on O2 and since lollipop update it restarted a few times by itself. Now it keeps going into a loop where it will restart and the home screen loads, you can use it for about 20-30 seconds and it will reboot again!
Initially when I researched I though it was an app problem but couldn't find the culprit. Then I took it into the Samsung repair centre and they said it needed a clean flash by them. This didn't work and they fitted a new mother board and this still hasn't worked.
I can say that it has twice happened when the Wifi hasn't been working properly so I have turned it off but other than that I have no idea!
Also I have tried rebooting into safe mode but it still does it, aaarrrggghhhh!!!
Any ideas where I can go from here please?
P
Return to kitkat if you can. Otherwise use a custom rom. These would be my suggestions. Since Samsung's repair couldn't fix it, warranty should not be a problem anymore.
Thanks, I am more than willing to try a Custom ROM. Any recommendations? And how easy is it as never done before!

It's fairly easy. Depending on what S4 model you have. Some models have a locked bootloader and that makes the whole thing trickier.
This is what I did:
1) Root with CF-Auto-Root. Thread here.
2) Backup all my apps.
3) Install a custom recovery (TWRP). Download and instructions here.
4) Flash custom rom. Most roms have their own instructions.
You can skip 1 and 2 if you don't want to backup.
Installing a custom recovery can be done using Odin. I recommend TWRP since it's the only one I've used.
Lollipop GPE rom. I've used this rom and didn't have any issues. CM12 seems a bit faster, but the GPE was more stable and bug-free.
Thanks I tried to install the CM12 before you posted using the instructions there but it failed, I assume that it needs to be rooted.

You need a custom recovery to install any rom. It doesn't matter if it's rooted or not.
Get a custom recovery. Get all the necessary zip files (rom, gapps, etc). Place all the zip files on the external sd card. Boot into the custom recovery. Wipe /data, /cache and /dalvik-cache.
Go to Install (if on TWRP), go to the location where you saved the downloaded rom zip and select it. The swipe the slider to begin flashing. Afterwards flash the gapps zip. Reboot.
Also, don't use the recovery posted in the CM12 thread. It was specially made by the dev and will convert your file system to f2fs. What it basically means is that it will wipe your internal storage completely.

You don't have a custom recovery installed. That is probably the stock recovery. You can't flash a rom using the stock recovery.
You absolutely need a custom recovery if you want to flash a custom rom.
Custom recoveries are: TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery) and PhilZ Touch Recovery. Either one should work. But you necessarily need one.

Follow the link I gave you. They have several instrunctions on how to install TWRP. You can install TWRP with Odin too.
Here, There are 3 ways to install. Use Odin. It doesn't require root and should be the easier one. Just UNTICK auto-reboot in Odin before flashing. Once it's done, turn the phone off and use the key combo to get into TWRP recovery.

I guess that's the CM12 logo. First boot after flashing always takes some time because the rom is configuring stuff.
If you still don't get into android, turn off the device and turn it on again. If you've done everything correctly there is no reason why it shouldn't boot.

No problem. You could try a different build. Or you could try a CM12 based rom. SaberMod worked fine for me. And it's the closest to the actual CM12 you can get.

SaberMod is a rom. SaberMod CM12.1.
They are very similar. The difference is how they tackle optimizations.
Yes, you will have to flash it. But you can also stick with normal CM12 if you don't have any issues.
The google search box from the home screen or the recents?
You can change the launcher to get rid of it from the home screen.
To remove it from the recents there is an option somewhere in the settings.
Dear XDA,
I screwed up... I think my device is now soft bricked.... :crying:
It all started good on a sunny saturday. I thought this was a good day to try another custom rom. Namely Codename Phoenix.
My device was already rooted so i started with upgrading my TWRP to the latest Blu_Spark TWRP 3.2.1. After flashing the recovery i continued with the ROM. It all went downhill from there....
The install finished and i booted my device. Knowing this could take a while i got into the shower thinking it would finish when i got back. But when i got back it was still booting. Knowing the first boot can take a while so I let it be. After an hour or so it was still stuck on the google logo and the weather and my mood changed for the worse.
I figured something in the process went wrong and tried to boot into recovery. That worked so I thought 'Cool, let's fix it there'. But the recovery was encrypted so i couldn't get to my data. Normally you put in your pincode and it decrypts your phone. This was not the case.... I couldn't put in my pincode so decrypting was out of the question.
Luckily ADB was still working so I downloaded the original Oxygen OS rom and tried to side-load it... This got stuck on 47% for no reason at all. Phone had 100% battery and didn't time-out..
I was really confused, but I let the device do it's thing and maybe things would work out... I was wrong. Everything was worse. Because i tried installing the original firmware it removed the custom recovery....
So now i have a device with no OS and I can't get into recovery. Luckily there is a unbrick tool for OnePlus 5. Following those steps i got stuck on the part that it does not show in my device-manager.
Currently i'm really grumpy and have no idea how to fix this.
I humbly ask for advice. Is this solvable or do i have a wasted OnePlus 5?
Thanks in advance,
Lennard
can you reboot to bootloader?
if yes, you can flash original or custom recovery...

Don't worry! Your device is safe. At most, you'll be required to wipe your data.
Try using the official twrp recovery here:

Thanks for these words! That's a big relieve
With your link I managed to install TWRP through fastboot. So now i have a custom recovery. The current problem is that my data is encrypted and I cannot decrypt it. There is no option to fill in a password since there is no OS that requires a password. So it's sort of a neverending cycle . Although fastboot, recovery and sideload should work now.
The thing is, previously I tried installing the original firmware and that failed at 47%. So i'm not sure what to do now.
I tried installing 'codeworkx universal twrp 3.2.1-0 recovery' since he seems to have fixed the encrypt issue. But when I tried sideloading the file it says "Zip file is corrupt!". So no succes there yet.
To be precise, this is the threat for Codeworkx Universal TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
And i downloaded and tried installing: twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img
I was thinking about downloading the latest Codename Phoenix ROM, but when I try to download the latest release the file is name "Codename-Phoenix-NOS-8.1-oneplus5t-20180303.zip". That implies it's only for the 5t and not for the 5. So that could be my original problem? That i downloaded the wrong ROM?
That aside.
Should I try to get the download link for CNP and download the latest release for the OP5 and install that.
Or
Should i try to install the original firmware. Reset everything and start over from the beginning (unlocking, rooting, etc..)
Thanks again for all the help

I can go into fastboot and managed to install TWRP with the comment below!
Thanks for these words! That's a big relieve
With your link I managed to install TWRP through fastboot. So now i have a custom recovery. The current problem is that my data is encrypted and I cannot decrypt it. There is no option to fill in a password since there is no OS that requires a password. So it's sort of a neverending cycle . Although fastboot, recovery and sideload should work now.
The thing is, previously I tried installing the original firmware and that failed at 47%. So i'm not sure what to do now.

Nice to hear that!
To be clear, does the TWRP decrypt you data? When you click install in TWRP, is it a bunch of randomly named files?
I think you should go ahead with installing CNP, you shouldn't have any problems with it now that you've got the correct version.
Good luck!

Yeah it's a bunch of random file names. Like "2TAjnCI8CpHDL38Oh684DuTSgaO".
Alright, i'll let you know if I succeed. Thanks for the help

Wait! Staying encrypted is a bunch of trouble. I recommend u to follow these steps:
Go to recovery
Select wipe
Select advanced wipe
Clear dalvik and cache
Go back
Select wipe
Click "Format Data"
Type in yes
Go back
Select wipe
Swipe to factory reset
Reboot recovery
Transfer the ROM from PC to phone
Install it

Hmm, the installation should be a succes. But when i tried to reboot and start up the OS / System it just reboots into TWRP.... ? It's sort of boot looping into recovery.
I tried installing a couple of times with and without wiping dalvik/cache/system.
Could the install file not be complete?
On a side note, my data is not encrypted

Did you factory reset by going into wipe>swipe to factory reset?
If not then do that and flash it

But of course! Already did that. But i'm not sure if it shows or not. Tried clicking multiple times on the thanks button but it doesn't highlight. It should do that right?
