I unlocked bootloader with windroid tool. Then I flashes twrp. Then this being my first time messing with an android in years I went and just grabbed the first rom I thought I could use, do to the fact that I had done no backup no nandroid anything so I flashed a rom and after it did it every time I tries to flash different rom because it said the rom I did first failed. So everytime I tries to do anything else with windroid it says there is a log file in the logs folder. Send this to windycity's forum so it can be tAken care of. But I couldn't find this file or where to submit the file so I thought if I just reset the phone back to factory I could restart. And after resetting it multiple times it still said, there is a log file in the logs folder send this to Windy City. So since I do still have the twrp tool that I can use I went in there and found that it has to rm -f delete everything Linux code so I did that. And since I've done that all I can do is get to bootloader and twrp. But the so is deleted. So basically nothing works. I can't figure out how to get the sd to mount or it won't mount for whAtever reason. And since the phone is wiped it won't enable USB debugging to connect to computer. I can get it to start to enable and connect for a second but not long enough for it to do anything. And I believe it's a htc evo 4g sprint. So that's the situation. The next thing I was gunn try was to go buy a mini sd card reader so I can mount it to computer and then put the rom in there. This **** is so confusing and ridiculous. I mean I can jailbreak an apple device no problem. But holy mother of God androids are the most insanely retarded phones to root. Drivers, adb, sdk...... Anyways if u can help let me know because there's a million roms and kernels out there and I don't know what build to use and how to set it up and the whole kernel process sounds confusing.

Do this. Go to the link below. Look at the second post. Go to the "Current Release" section and download either the stock rooted odex or deodex ROM, doesn't matter. Put the ROM zip on your external SD card. You can do this with the mount option in TWRP (select the mount option then select your external SD card from the menu. You should then be able to transfer the ROM zip from your computer directly to your phone), or just use a card reader to transfer the file from your computer to your SD card, then put the card back into your phone. Boot into TWRP and go to the wipe menu. Do a wipe of system, data, Dalvik & cache. Once you've done this, go to the install option, then locate the ROM zip you placed on your SD card. Flash the ROM. Once the install completes, reboot the phone. The first boot will take a few minutes so be patient. Afterwards the phone should boot to the OS.

Also, USB debugging is only useful when the phone is actually booted to the OS. It doesn't matter that it isn't enabled for your particular dilemma. If all else fails, shoot me a PM and I may have something else that can get you up and running.

[Q] i rooted my phone EVO and have cm6 but cant customize it etc help?

i have read most of the threads and even though they make sense my phone is is worse then before i rooted it..somehow my contacts saved to my sd card but not my apps (they have folders but no info) plus somehow i got 40 phone #s once i booted up cm6... i know its crazy...the rom mangager fc a lot...and my backup on the computer is only contacts and pics for sum reason also i treid transferring the PC36IMG which shows up in the files but doesnt respond...this is not fun ...plsease help
I'm confused a little by your post. Why not just restore from your nandroid backup? Or flash a different rom?
Are you saying that Titanium Backup failed to restore your apps? Cyanogenmod is not Sense, which came with your phone. TB cannot restore apps from Sense.
If you want Sense, use a Sense ROM like Myn's... or Sprint Lovers if you like stock.

Make sure you are rooted with S-OFF displayed in the bootloader. To do this, turn off your EVO. Now press the down volume button while also pressing the power button until your device starts. You will enter the bootloader screen. You should see either S-ON or S-OFF at the top. If it is S-ON, you need to re-root your device. if it is S-ON, you *should* be good to go. I suggest you start over and follow the below instructions to the letter.
I would redo EVERYTHING from scratch. EVERYTHING meaning the following:
1. Copy the contents of your SD card and place them on your PC/Mac or independent external hard drive.
2. (DISREGARD) Format and re-partition your SD card (Disregard)
3. Place only a newly downloaded rom zip that you plan to flash, amon RA recovery (zip or img), Radio, Wimax, PRI & NV updates on the root of your SD card. The files can be downloaded from the links below:
Odexed Stock Rom -- http://goo.gl/uFdtB
amon RA -- http://goo.gl/cgh5e
Radio Update -- http://goo.gl/PmfKu
PRI Update -- http://goo.gl/A3NE3
NV Update -- http://goo.gl/h8JYf
WiMax Update -- http://goo.gl/qFwCt
4. Shut down your EVO and then press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will be directed to the Hboot screen where amon RA zip file will be automatically detected and you will be prompted to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery.
5. Go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card.
6. Go to the FLASH menu and flash rom but DO NOT REBOOT!
7. Flash the Radio update. You will see a screen with a device & green arrows. Be patient because you will appear to stall. BE PATIENT and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!After some time has passed, you will automatically be reboot into the recovery screen.
8. Flash the PRI. What I stated in #7 applies here, as well
9. Flash the NV. What I stated in #7 applies here, too.
10. Flash the WiMax. #7 applies here also.
11. Reboot. you WILL APPEAR TO HANG at the white HTC screen. Do not be alarmed. Be patient and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY. After some time has passed, you will then see the rom's splash screen and appear to hang and afterwards, you will see your home screen.
12. After you've signed in with your Google credentials, go to menu-settings-System Updates and then select Update profile.
You should be good to go afterwards. Enjoy!...

Sorry for the absence. I had errands to run. Anyway, displaying S-OFF is a good thing. Now let's see if you can get into recovery. You mentioned Unrevoked, so I'm assuming Clockworkmod is your recovery. You also mentioned that you can't pull anything off the card. Can you get into recovery? If so, there should be a mount menu or MS-USB or something to that effect. Select it and your computer *should* recognize your SD Card. Give it a try.

No. Can you boot into either recovery or your homescreen? If so, you *should* be able to mount and format your SD card using your EVO 4G.

It is possible. I'm not a fan of ROM Manager. It is far too easy to do it manually from within recovery. Menu with the hat? I'm assuming that's Clockworkmod recovery. I highly recommend that you flash amon RA recovery. It'll only take mere seconds to flash and it will not interfere with your system. Try this...Turn off your device and take out the SD card briefly and then reinsert it. Boot up all the way to your homescreen. Afterwards, go to your file manager and see if you can see the contents of your card. If so, that is a good thing.
Posting & replying via the XDA Premium app
ive tried that 3 times and i got nothing...
I really recommend that you start over from scratch.
1. Flash amon RA recovery v2.3
2. After the recovery has been flashed, reboot into recovery, go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING including the SD card.
3. Attach the device to your computer via USB, then from within recovery, go to the MS-USB menu and select it. A drive should appear on your computer's desktop or explorer window.
4. Copy the rom zip file you used to install the rom you were using to the SD card.
5. If you were using CyanogenMod, also copy the latest gapps zip to the SD card.
6. Unmount the SD card first from your computer and then from within recovery by clicking the power button on your device.
7. Go into the Flash menu and flash the rom. Do not reboot afterwards if you're going to also flash the gapps zip.
8. Aftervyoure done flashing your rom and gapps, if necessary, reboot your device.

It is possible thar your SD card is fried. Do you have a spare? Do you have a card reader or another device capable of reading the card? Anyway, if you deem the card to be ruined then purchase another one and then start over with a fresh install per the instructions from my recent reply.
Anyway, I've gotta go. I'll check back on you a little later.

SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!! I Lost everything

Ok I have made the stupidest and idiotic attempt to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1 jelly bean on GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Basically, my phone was already rooted and unlocked, so I made a nandroid copy and off I went into recovery mode, trying to install the yakju zip file to manually update the firmware.
After I installed it and rebooted, it seems like it wasn't installed on some sort of internal storage that was only 66mb and I have lost my SD card and no user settings can be saved onto it. I realised this because if I went into recovery mode again and reboot normally, I will have to go through the initial setup all over again!!! At this point, if I tried to go back to nandroid copy, I could have done so easily.
BUT I made the mistake of trying to wipe all user data again and now everything on my SD card has been wiped out, including my nandroid copy and the ability to restore my nandroid back up!!! So if i tried to flash clockwork recovery image and restore, there is nothing in there for me to restore.... and I don't have access to the 13gb SD storage from phone or computer!!
Someone please help??!! At least I just want my old ICS system back!

Could you be a bit more specific because I don't know how to push a rom or flash it and I can't find my SD card storage either
you clearly didnt read post 3 of juba's guide
I'll try to sum Jubakuba's guide up for you.
1. Boot into bootloader.
2. Select recovery.
3. adb push a ROM-Zip-file from your PC to /data/media/ (adb push $(/path/to/ROM.zip) /data/media/
3.1 Reboot recovery. (adb reboot recovery)
4. Install it like you'd install any other ROM.

Yip, i think he data wiped after flashing the up date = data gone and will have to start new.
Should still be able to see sd on computer.
Wiping data doesn't wipe the sd card, where did the upgrade come from? this may have wiped the card.
Try re-flashing a stock rom, root, unlock, flash recovery.
The GNex Toolkit makes it easy to do all these.

No keyboard to access encrypted phone

I am running Rujelus's latest Blue Kuban ROM and after installing the most recent update, decided to encrypt my phone. I have thought about doing this for a while but did not have the time as it is a long process (1 hour +). So I went into Settings > Security, created a password and let it run through the encryption process. After about an hour the phone rebooted and a screen comes up asking for a password, which I know, but there is no keyboard on the screen! I push in the password box and all over the screen and nothing. I assume this is the accidental result of some feature of Blue Kuban, but now I have an encrypted phone and no way to access it. To restate - I KNOW the password, I just have no way to enter it on the screen.
I assume I can Odin back to stock and reset the whole phone, but I will lose EVERYTHING I was trying to protect (since all my backups are now encrypted too.) So my question is, is there any way to fix this? Perhaps something I can do in ADB? Some keypress combination that would make the keyboard appear? Anyone? Anyone?

Did you encrypt just the device or the sdcard also? Also is ADB enabled on the phone?

I think I just encrypted the device. (Encrypting the SD card would take a second pass, correct?). I also realized that I can access CWM, so if I could get some mod onto the SD card that can get the keyboard back, then I can flash through CWM, and I should be set.
FYI, I just plugged the phone into the USB port of the computer, and the drives appear under My Computer but when I try to access them I get "Insert a disk into removable drive E:". It does look like it is recognized under ADB. I can also take the SD card out and just stick it in my laptop if I can find a mod that will get me the keyboard back....

And you do have CWM backups right? If so they should be on the sdcard. If they are on the internal storage instead let me know and I can help you move them. I would use calkulins format all zip from cwm. After that restore your backup from CWM. You should be fixed after that.

Unfortunately, the last nandroid backup I have is pretty out of date though you're right that at least that would solve some of the problem (I wouldnt lose everything). I backed up with Titanium last night before updating the ROM, but did not nandroid.
However, I am really wondering if there is something I can flash that would make the keyboard appear on the initial screen. The Blue Kuban updater has a mod - "Restore the keyboard popup" that I think might fix this issue, however I cant figure out how to get that mod since I cant get into the phone to download it. I posted in the Blue Kuban thread and perhaps someone can download the mod and post it there.
Thanks for your help, I certainly feel more hopeful than I did when I first realized this...

I have never messed the the encryption so I don't know if this is possible, but if that doesn't work you might try to install a stock rom from CWM and see if that gives you the keyboard back.

Since your sdcard isn't encrypted you should be able to copy the mod there and install it from CWM. Just put it in the computer and copy the Mod to it.
Edit: Nevermind I see is isn't a zip file now.

I think it IS a zip, I just don't know how to get to it other than through the updater which is built into the ROM. Typically, all the files in the updater download to your SD card as zip files and then the phone will reboot and install them in CWM automatically. I just need someone to download the mod on their phone running Blue Kuban and then post it here so I can copy it to my SD card and install it. (That's assuming it really does fix this issue.)

Totally appreciated your doing this and, unfortunately, total fail. Installed fine, booted back up, still no keyboard on the initial screen. Now I am wondering, even if I restore a nandroid, am I going to face the same thing at boot up?
I just tried to nandroid backup my current setup so I can at least get back to it, and, as I should have guessed, it fails ("Can't mount /data") because it is encrypted. What's more, my old CWM backups are on the internal SD card and so I cant access those either. I think I am screwed. I just hope I can Odin back to stock without a problem. Thanks again for your help, that was above and beyond....
EDIT: For anyone else who might run into this situation, I WAS able to Odin back to a full stock FF18, but everything else I tried failed. (e.g. flashing a "no data" rom through Odin, flashing anything through CWM) I lost all my data on the internal SD card and cant even remember everything I lost. Only bright point is that I have a recent Titanium backup on my external SD card which is solid, so I should be able to get some of my app data, texts, etc back.

For your backups. Once the phone is up connect to it from adb. once in adb shell do cp -r /sdcard/clockworkmod /sdcard/external_sd/ This will probably take a while so just be patient until it completes.
What I would try first is to install a stock rom via zip. See if it installs and fixes the keyboard issue.
If that doesn't work, Odin an image that doesn't wipe data and see what happens.
If that fails, do a full Odin restore.
I just ran into this problem myself. I Odin'd the FH13 rooted stock rom, installed CWM and FI25, everything seemed to be fine and then I ran the encryption. After the reboot my keyboard was inaccessible and I can't seem to make it come up.
Even if this was working, Android with encryption seems unusable. I can't imagine having to enter a password EVERY TIME I unlock my phone. I guess I won't be checking work email after all! :laugh:
Grrrrrrreat! So because I could not get a keyboard to show up after encryption I decided to flash to another ICS build, and now I'm getting a "blank USB Storage" notification. I didn't encrypt my SD card; just the phone! I even installed the ROM from the external SD card, and when I reboot to CWM I can access it.
Anybody have any ideas?
I thought USB storage was the internal SD?

Did I brick my SGS3 ? ^_^

All right, first thing first. Thanks to everybody for this amazing forum and all support.
Well. Here's my story:
1) Planned on installing CM10 nightly
2) Went to recovery (TWRP v2.2.0) and by mistake wiped everything :/ (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System Internal Storage)
3) In effect i wiped everything including system.
4) Still have access to TWRP and download mode.
Does anybody have a clue how to fix that and install CM10 again?
PS.
1) internal storage does not mount under system (WIN7)
2) TWRP does not recognize microSDXC (32gbz) formated to either exFat or NTFS. (Tried 4 (four) of them)
Should i buy another micro sd like 2gb, format it to Fat32 and drop CM.zip there ? Or need i do something else?
Very respectfully.
That happened to me I just downloaded the rom to a sd card from my old phone put it in my s3 and installed it.

Hey thank you for quick answer. Do you know if there is any limitation for TWRP? It does not read my 32gb MicroSDXC.
Go into download mode and re flash then stock rooted rom.
Then install your twrp and try cm again.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Personally, I would (try to?) use adb with the phone booted into TWRP to transfer the ROM you want to flash over to the phone's internal storage, and go from there.
If that's not a possibility for whatever reason, you'd be best off starting by reflashing a stock rooted image with Odin and going from there.
Well. First of all thank you all for all your help in support. Got it back to stock with root (Odin flash). However there is another small problem that i can't figure out. TWRP itself seem not to have access to anything. I mean it sees all / but after openning /sdcard or anything else all it sees is empty folders. It doesn't have an access to external sd either (when you check log it sees that it couldn't mount ext sd correctly [even if after boot to stock system it recognizes it witout any issues).
Any idea how to solve this problem? What has been tried:
1) Reflash recovery (TWRP 2.2 using ODIN)
2) moving all files to /
3) RootExplorer see files (cm.zip) after reboot TWRP doesn't
4) Installing GooManager (it crashes after granting supersu permissions)
Very Respectfully.
With all those problems, flash to stock rooted and start over. You will be better off in the long run. You may want to also format your external sd.
Don't flash twrp with Odin.
Rooted stock
Dl and use goo manager to get twrp
What about a stock kernel? Just my chime in
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Allright small update.
1) ReFlashed to rooted stock (root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5)
2) Installed GooManager
3) Installed TWRP (using GooManager)
4) Downloaded lastest CM10 nightly (cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip) using GooManager
5) Flashed cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip from GooManager menu (FlashROM) - Wiped Dalvik & Cache
Now I'm stacked with CM boot splash for past 5 min hoping it just takes longer that it should.
Any ideas?
Very Respectfully.
EDIT:
Booting into recovery and performing factory reset fixes problem.
Thanks to everybody who helped.

2) Installed GooManager
3) Installed TWRP (using GooManager)
4) Downloaded lastest CM10 nightly (cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip) using GooManager
5) Flashed cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip from GooManager menu (FlashROM) - Wiped Dalvik & Cache
Now I'm stacked with CM boot splash for past 5 min hoping it just takes longer that it should.
Any ideas?
Very Respectfully.
EDIT:
Booting into recovery and performing factory reset fixes problem.
Thanks to everybody who helped.

GJ take it sure and slow. Other than flashing stock/rooting form Odin I wouldn't flash anything form Odin. Once you have super user on your phone, leave Odin out and do everything from phone
That's the safest route and it gets easier from here. The countless hours you spent are much easier the more you do it. Shouldn't take more than 20 minute to backup and flash roms and new apps from now on
Oh boy.
Almost done. But here are another tiny problems that just bother me and but I think they're solvable.
1) GooglePlay suddenly gives "No Connection" error, even though every other app that requires connection (Messenger, Browser) work just fine.
Have to mention that it worked for a while, installed couple apps (drop some more to install in queue and when I woke up - FAIL!)
Things done:
-Forced to stop
-ClearedData & Cache
Is there any other solution to fix it rather than reflashing gapps ?
2) The ExternalSD is mounted under PC as Internal Storage and vice versa.
When you click "Samsung -GHS-I747) in my computer it shows both with proper sizes but once you click them it opens the other.
No clue how to solve that one.
Very respectfully.

1. you are flashing a version of gapps that is out of touch with your rom or you did not flash it correctly/cleanly. I remember no matter how many times I flashed gapps I wouldn't get it to sync. Backed all user apps to Titanium backup. Did a clean install from scratch, and wallah it worked. Last sort.
Without doing that though there is usually one that is compatible that is listed on your rom page. Flash that one. For me that is 10/22 but I remember it giving that same error for a while so I ended up flashing the previously compatible version before that which was 7/26. Goo.im might help here, I haven't used it myself. Once you find a working gapps version etc. Store your 'safe' builds in one folder
2. Not sure what you mean. When you click your phone you should see internal and external storage on your phone. They are what they say they are. People tend to piss on not being able to find the right file size and folder attributes on this phones usb mount. It is a common problem. Probably one of the few problems on the phone. Annoying but manageable

1) Ended up reflashing gapps with goomanger (script to TWRP)
2) What i mean is that under phone it recognizes them perfectly. Just when I connect phone through USB to PC, my PC tends to mix them up. Just shows ExSD as Internal and Internal as ExSD. No biggy, just tried to fix as many tiny issues as possible before I hit deployment.
Very respectfully.
That is a known, and stated, issue with cm 10.1

International version - phone is not opening

hey,
i got htc one m8 3 days ago and i rooted the phone yesterday. today i installed a rom and i didnt like it and i deleted all files in recovery mode. after deleting i tried to restart but recovery said "there is no os, are you sure" and i clicked ok. now phone stuck on starting screen with a text "this build is for development purpose only".
as u know i cant remove the battery, i cant close the phone either. i really need your help to install original android software and how to do it
The easiest way is to download the rom you like and put it on external sd card with card reader, put the card in to phone, reboot to recovery and flash new rom from sd card. Second way is to sideload rom from pc to internal memory via adb and flash from there.
You can read about adb sideload from HERE (it's for htc m7 but the principle is the same), or google it.
Have something HERE also.

you use recovery wipe system, so it was said there is no os, are you sure. Press power + volume up 10s, screen is black, hold power and press volume down go to recovery, put rom to ext card and flash rom.

You deleted system, which is the OS. So of course there is no OS.
If you didn't know what that was, why on earth did you wipe it? I suggest slowing down, and learning more about the basics of modding the phone. Wiping system without knowing what it was, indicates a lack of basic knowledge. As does not knowing how to recover from this simple situation.
If you were using TWRP, it says right on the wipe screen that the default wipe (wipe data, cache and Dalvik) is all that is normally needed. It says this for a reason! If you picked "Advanced" it means just that, and you better know what you are doing before selecting to wipe things that you don't understand.
Just restore your nandroid. If you didn't make one before flashing the ROM, again it indicates carelessness and/or a lack of basic knowledge.
Or adb push a ROM, or use a USB card reader on your computer to copy a ROM to removable SD. Then flash in recovery.
