Good evening everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me. Last night i was in the middle of flashing a Rom (Green Lighting 3.0) and wanted to repartition my SD card. I have flash this ROM and repartition my SD many times and had no issue. I moved my info from my SD card to my computer, wiped and partitioned the SD like normal and no problem. I started putting the info back onto the SD and still no problem. I then tried to flash my rom back onto my phone and when I went to my sd card it said "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)" I then noticed that I couldnt do anything with my SD card. I have tried different SD cards and they do not show in my phone and I get the same msg still. I have put the card into PC and I can see everything there just cant access it.
To make things stranger, When trying to figure out whats going on, I notice that when I go to bootlader I see S-ON. I know I had S-OFF (Got my EVO last Christmas and rooted it then). Any else have this issue? Im not sure what caused this or what I can do to resolve the issue i was thinking about reflashing back to stock but I cant even put the img back onto my sd card which means im not sure how i would take it back to sprint....Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Can anyone at least help me get to the point where I can take it in to sprint and they cant tell that its been rooted?
Thanks
Would say fastboot but your also saying you don't have root not either.

Might need to reroot then use fastboot

Or if you want to get really snazy you can symlink the block device for the sdcard to a folder on data then use adb to push files to it. Then in reviving you can flash a new image.

Happened to me first thing you are rooted second thing what I did is format data on card and phone ( backup files on card) via fastboot then you would need to get to adb and type some code to be able to use the card then boot phone and flash a custom recovery I used rom manager if any questions I will try my hardest to help I wish I had help when this happened to me (took exactly 9 straight hours to fix)

Thanks Cesarcerros and Lithid-cm for responding! Do either of you have the necessary steps to preform these steps or a link? Im not really familiar with adb (heck i have tried to get into it again but its not working) And for the rerooting option, would i use the new gingerbread root? Also, i cant get back into the rom so im not sure if that will affect things....again thanks!

I have scripts for setting up just about everything for android, sadly this only working in linux.I have not used windows in over 7 years. When I have helped people before they have always been able to get adb working following this guide here:
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-adb-drivers-for-htc-evo-4g/
You will be able to use the new root method, but without an sdcard to flash anything might be pointless to focus on that. I would look into a decent disk utility and run a scan on the sdcard mounted to your pc somehow (Does the sdcard work when connecting it to a pc and only doesn't work while connected to the evo?). Might be able to simply reformat the sdcard to solve the issue. If there are bad blocks, try to repair them. I know that this all sounds like another language, but now you have some more information when looking up errors for your sdcard.
Thank you both for your help with this. I was able to get this working by downloading Hausx's auto root 2.5 tools and putting that in a folder on my c drive and using the dos prompt to get me into using fastboot. I then used the following commands and I was able to see the sdcard again:
SELECT "FASTBOOT"
PLUG USB
type in the "dos"
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
Again thank you both for your help and attention on this.
cesarcerros31, you said you had this happen before, do you know what casued it? I dont remember doing anything out of the normal so i was curious if it might be a hardware issues or something else u were able to figure out?
On a side note, Lithid-cm was learning Linuix easy or did it take some time? Im interested in networking and seeing that a lot of people in networking are familiar with linuix so i figured i should look into it.
Some of the Linux distros like ubuntu or mint are pretty easy for a windows user to get used to. U can always dual boot.

Honestly I am not really sure, I grew up kinda poor and was forced to use linux as we couldn't afford a brand new windows pc. I would find pc parts that people would throw out, and searching the internet I was only able to find linux that was free. Been using it ever since.
I think its easy, its just something to get used to.
Thanks for the advice Fitz. Thats how I learned about building and working on PC's....thanks again everyone.

That is strange, i have noticed that my phone vibrates 4 or 5 times now when i reboot it and sometimes it wont start up till i remove the battery....hope its not dying...thanks again
ok so heres what happened. forgot my phone was rooted. i tried tmobile ota update. kicked me out into twrp. i messed aroun and bascily now i have no os or anything. i accidentally formatted everything in the phone. its the white 32gb tmobile version if that matters. to make things worse, i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS. no windows. cant even figure out how to get windows on the pc. and no i cant go buy it. noodle budget. i also messed with the fat32 thing and it said unable to make fat32 partition. basicly. its screwed. i need to know what to do about this. i have the lg flash tool, the original .dll and .tot ready to go. but theres the linux thing. everytime i try to connect it to the computer in download mode it said could not mount adroid device or something like that, now it wont even come on for me. i dont know what to do about this. no i couldnt get adb sideload to start, i couldnt mount in download mode, i could get adb to recognise the device but thats about it. i pushed a couple roms to it but nadda. after installing succesfully it just went right back to twrp. i need a video or something that i can slightly understand on how to fix this.
Your best bet is to set up a virtual box and virtualize it. I guess in twrp if you can still get access to it. Is to wipe system and all that fun stuff so it can reformat it to ext4 then try to adb sideload the rom that matches the update as close as possible. The only thing I can think of is that the update messed up partitions so when you flash a rom it can't all fit like it used too.
Sorry if I didnt help I'm just trying my method I had to do when I had my g2

you should be able to download a windows 7 and use for 30 days for free. after 30 days, you still can extend it to another 30 days. that should be enough to get you phone back
Wow... reading OP was like a mirror into my own experience except I am on W81 I have tried in every way imaginable to fix this issue with LG Flashtool and it constantly tells me that it can't boot into download mode even though it is already set into it. What other options are there to fix things? I am at wits end..

You must have Windows Virtual Box if running Linux, Ubuntu, Solaris, or Mac. Start HERE. It can be tricky for some, you may want to read this whole page before attempting.

Hello,
First of all, Thanks for this great community. It has been helping me with my S4 for a long time.
Almost a year ago, I bought a fire phone for my younger brother. Today I tried to install the Custom Rom CM11 (which I successfully did), but, among the files in the proper thread, are 2 more files, the Google apps and also, a "flash wipe out". I did this in the end, expecting that just cleaned everything without touching the OS. Huge and novice mistake from miself. After almost 5 hours of looking for a solution, I realized that I don't have an OS and can only enter to "Fire phone recovery mode". I have downloaded almost 5 or 6 stock firmwares that are available to donwload here in XDA. Tried to download the OTA for an unlocked phone from amazon and tried to upload it to the phone via ABD tools. In the end, I always get the same errors: Not-signed and can't install it in the phone.
I'm going to be honest: I'm desperate.
In conlcusion:
1) No OS in a fire phone.
2) No custom TWRP.
3) I just have recovery mode
4) Been trying to install through ADB tools without any success the stock OTA update (the last one, since I had the 4.6.6 version)
Anything that can help will be well received.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Have you tried ADB sideload when you go into your phone's recovery? And if you did, what did it say when you tried installing it? Try using this to sideload your phone.
Thanks for your answer @mechasnyper but I have tried that out as well
Hey, thanks for the answer. I really appreciate the time for doing it.
Yes, I have tried the ADB Sideload. The phone it's identified through the CMD (I get to see the serial) and then try the ADB Sideload. It doesn't work with bin files. It says unable to load. I tried also with the zip files that are posted here in the forums, being able to load then at 100% but the cell phone says "invalid signature", and for this couldn't install it over the fire phone.

Try sideloading using this file. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347783512 I found this somewhere else and this is the file I used when I screwed up my ROM installation.
When I get home I'll try using that file that you have posted.
I'll update the results.

Your need free RAM on computer bigger than .bin size.
Hey, thanks for the answer.
I'm doing it on my laptop that has 8 Gb of ram. Just in case, I'm going to try it on my brother's laptop that has 16 gb of ram to test this out. But I doubt this will make a difference, since I've tried already many .bin files (all of them are unable to load an their size its 1.2 GB max. Many zip files as well where I have obtained 100% load but the firephone aborts the installation due to signature verification failure.
This is really strange. I have screwed up installing Cyanogenmod onto my phone, yet I was able to revert back to the stock ROM with just the stock recovery. I will have to look more into this. I will post again soon for updates. Have you wiped the data and cache?
EDIT: I am not sure if this will work, but try using this bin file. http://androidhost.org/o120v
@lordofra
Try (with quotes)
adb sideload "full_path_and_name_of_the_bin.bin"
Hi,newbie here.My device isn't rooted.Yesterday, I downloaded Marshmallow update 6.0.1.At 43%,I started the update.I thought it will complete in that.you know,the logo and all came.I watched it updating till 85% then got on with my work.Then,I felt a vibration.I saw it rebooting and then it showed samsung logo in all white.It wouldn't move forwards after that.I heard 3 vibrations periodically.The 1st one...4 sec gap...and then the 2nd & 3rd vibrations in quick succession.And it would go on infinitely until the battery discharged.I plugged it in the wall charger and then I noticed the charging has also become very slow.I left it for charging at 6 AM and till now(12:14pm),its just 58%.I read in a thread about force restrat and quickly going into recovery mode.I wiped the cache partition hoping it would solve the problem but it didn't. I couldn't understand the rest of the part,so I didn't try.I selected power off option and right now it is charging.I have important data stored on the internal storage so I fear doing a factory reset.I also have fingerprint lock on it so I have no idea how to connect to PC and use.I got no idea about flashing roms.Is there any possible way to revert back to lollipop? I just want my data before I do something.Please help.Also,I had some pics(only pics) in the private mode.I also need to recover that.
Yea your going to have to flash a stock image via Odin.
Your going to have to do some reading on XDA, no way round it, there is no quick fix with a few buttons lol.
Here is the general flow, read on XDA to fill in your gapps.
1. Find load Samsung USB drivers
2. Find latest version of ODIN, Samsung flashing tool
3. Find and download stock image suitable for your version / country
4. Flash it
like I said read, read, and read again, all the info you need is here in good detail.
See,that is the problem.As I mentioned in the post,I have no idea what uou just said.I have only the slightest idea about yhus stuff.As I don't want to mess with my data,I am asking for a specific solution to this problemAny help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't get it use Google to help.
Dude, you need to learn what all this stuff means , or pay someone to do it for you, simple as that.
Relax about your data, its still there. It can be recovered via adb , or even easier flash twrp recovery and use the inbuilt file manager and copy it to USB or SD card.
But before you do a shed load of study any further advice is useless, hows your PC skills?

Nope best get one for t705, but while you are here I would flash twrp custom recovery here,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100
That recovery has a file manager in it, you can copy files around before you ever get to booting android, which is exactly what you need for your data.
You seem to be progressing quite fine, another day or so an you will have the experience necessary, you put yourself down on the first post, there is nothing wrong with your technical skills, your obviously a bright chap.
I'm not at all sure of private mode, have zero clue what it is or how it works, but I'm confident it can be cracked somehow. After all most other parts of Samsung have been cracked including fingerprint/pin lock.
But if you first flash twrp and see if you can data off that way, then if that fails we can have a go at cracking Samsung propper.
Yes tab is fine, data is fine, both will be back with a little time and effort.

So,basically..
1. I need to download twrp recovery on my pc.(Also,I don't think i had usb debugging enabled(i read that somewhere that it is needed to install twrp,i don't know)So,is that a issue or is it safe to proceed without it being enabled?)
2.Connect the tab to pc.
3.Download it to the tab via odin mode/flash it with sd card.
4.Take back up(one silly question: where will the back up get stored)(another one,just need to confirm: i will install twrp via odin mode and then boot into recovery mode and take back up,right?).
5.Then,Install stock rom via sd card(is that correct?)
And Then what?Am I good to go? Tab will just switch on then and I will have my data?help me here please.

1. Nope do not need adb enabled etc, your fine there
2. yep
3. Yep, just make sure you have appropriate Samsung USB drivers installed, and most recent version of Odin would be nice, you flash it by selecting file on PC which is then flashed to device, no SD card used.
4 yep, In twrp you have choice of where to put backup, chose extrenal SD card and your good to go.
4.1 When in twrp, go to advanced>file manager, navigate to your internal storage, then you can copy your data directly to SD card.
STOP HERE.
When you have successfully flashed twrp. Stop, at this point we have all the tools you need installed to start hunting for your data, and proberly repair your current installation. If your data is encrypted somewhere we definitely need to repair the boot, that's going to be easiest method.
Once we have the data, then yes flash a standard image.

Do i need to flash twrp recovery specific for my device or is it same for everyone?If it is specific,where can I get one? And is it necessary for my device to be rooted in order to install twrp recovery? And by back up,will I be able to replicate my entire data including app data,files,documents,etc. which was stored before it went into bootloop or will twrp help me recover only selective stuff?
Yes you need t705 twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100
Nope do not need root.
From twrp you can do anything you need, full backup, selective, Fix your current system, flash a new one without overwriting your data pretty much anything.
What avenue we need to take depends totally what your data is and where it was stored, the answers in the detail, if its sensitive you can pm me.
But first be VERY CONFIDENT you have read everything you can get about ODIN and flashing twrp. I can guide you but your there not me, its up to you to know what you are doing. Just read a bit more, I think another day or so of intensive reading and you will be there. As I keep saying your not stupid just focus, there is frigg all difference between you and an android developer, they have just obsessively read up on the subject, you have not lol

As I keep saying your not stupid just focus, there is frigg all difference between you and an android developer, they have just obsessively read up on the subject, you have not lol

Could you be available to guide me along the way as I don't want to mess this up? I am pretty confident now that I know that my data is safe and can be recovered. Data mostly consists of some docs and rest are valuable photos.I am just worried about the data stored on private mode(just photos).whether I will be able to recover it or not.So,I really need an expert's way to get it done.I have been reading a lot and I think I am ready. I have messed up my exams due to this.I have an exam tomorrow LOL.And I am busy with this because I won't get settled before I fix it.Also,thanks a lot for your valuable info and attention.

Dude if I was there would do it for you lol, yes sure will help you all the way.
Now your up to speed, I will write you a detailed guide to get your data, with as many screenshots as can take, I'm 90% sure your data is not encrypted, hence is somewhere on the tab in plain format.
If you don't need the data for exams, drop this for a couple of days and concentrate on what's left of exams. I will have your detailed guide finished when you do.

Just did a Google on private mode, the files under private mode ARE encrypted, that means although you can recover them you can't read them.
If we repair the tab they SHOULD. Be accessible ( once back in private mode) , but zero guarantees.
The other files, no problem.

You seem to be blowing this out of proportion and making it more complicated than it actually is.
The first thing you should do is simply install the stock firmware via odin. There are literally hundreds of in depth guides how to do this. Even the websites you download the software from usually have a guide.
I suggest you install the same android version you originally had as this is safest. If that doesn't boot then move on to the Marshmallow update.
Dont expect instant boot after installing either as the update can take some time to boot.
If worse comes to worse then there is always the option of installing Twrp. However there should be no reason your device shouldn't boot after installing the stock firmware unless the device has had a hardware failure.
Your private folder files should also be accessible via Twrp. They aren't encrypted in my experience and I have accessed files in the private folder just fine.

This is TOTAL NOOB guide to flash TWRP , with shed load of screen shots, if you dont get it from this then hey
Although its also for Fenris users it should suit you just fine.
But this is just for flashing TWRP on a T705, its not covering flashing a standard image.
I would listen to Ashyx , that guy has forgotten more about the tab s than i will ever learn lol

Yea and i have just created another guide for flashing TWRP, in my opinion a lot better quality then the ones you find around ( for a start using screenshots of up to date TWRP and Odin )
