Adding ROMs to completely empty phone.

I stupidly showed my teenage son how to use ROM Manager and CWM on my phone.
He has now completely deleted (and I feel formatted) ALL Data etc on the phone.
So, as I cannot use any software on my MAC to transfer ROMs to the phone CAN Someone please advise how to get a ROM on the phone?
I can still access CWM Recovery. I have Android SDK installed, including Eclipse.
Please remember I am using a MAC, when you helpfully pass on ideas or solutions

Go to adb and fastboot folder, boot into recovery and use the command from terminal:
Code:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /sdcard/
.
Remember to put the rom into adb/fastboot folder

Hey, thank you.
I will try that soon

Hmm, trouble getting this done
I keep getting "command not found" message. Everything is in the folder.
I have done a CD to the folder etc

Are you doing it while in recovery?
Try 'adb devices' and see if it sees your device
Type exactly the command you're typing to try push your ROM so we can see if you've made a slight mistake...

Okies, I have tried adb devices and it comes back with no device listing. I was in CWM Recovery mode.
This is what I typed - /Users/Greg/Downloads/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb push AR10.1.zip /sdcard/ for the push, and
I typed this for the adb devices command - /Users/Greg/Downloads/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb devices

What does your adb folder have in it? I use a Mac and all I have is 2 files:
adb
fastboot
Try going into fastboot it should say FASTBOOT USB then try 'fastboot devices'
Also, try a different usb port...

Try finding the two files I said earlier in your sdk and make a new folder just with those two files and your ROM.zip and try opening your terminal window from that new folder.

Okies, I have already done that. I copied the "adb and fastboot" files from the sdk and added the "ROM.zip" file there also.
In recovery, I still get no devices listed with "adb devices"
I have opened a terminal window from within the case folder ... etc etc

Its much easier on a Mac. Have you downloaded the adb and fastboot files? Once you have those, navigate to their folder using cd in Terminal, add the rom zip and then use
Code:
./adb push rom.zip /data/media/

I've seen this happen on my friend's HTC One a week ago. I was able to fix it by using the ALL IN ONE TOOL that was posted in this forum. I SIDELOADED a ROM, but only AFTER flashing the stock Boot.img and kernel. I dunno if this helps, but it certainly fixed the problem for me.... oh and also, I did this on a Windows 7 lappy and I'm not familiar with Macs.

When I do this, I still get the error: device not found
This is what I did when in the directory using Terminal within that directory. I was in Fastboot USB for the ADB push
home:Android Greg$ ./adb push ar10.1.zip /data/media/
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
And when I do Fastboot Devices and ADB Devices, I get this in Fastboot USB mode
home:Android Greg$ ./fastboot devices

This has really got me puzzled

Can you give me the link for the AllInOne Tools etc and where to download the Stock Kernel etc and how you did the side load.
Seems the SDK ADB is not working for me. Fastboot obviously is. This is all really strange

When you use the command make sure your in cwm not fastboot.
So go into cwm then use command that you said before

Thanks. I had been in CWM earlier, and the same as just now, when I try ./adb devices ... while in CWM, terminal returns no listing of devices.
It seems to me that ADB does work, as it identifies the "daemon is out of date" and restarts it successfully.
It is just that ADB does not recognise the HTC One, whilst "Fastboot devices" does, while not in fast boot usb.
I am still lost. CWM works. ADB cannot connect ...

Is this something i need to do,to get the phone working
"EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO STOP GUIDE HERE. LIKE REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this point you will be able to flash most ROMs. The exceptions are the one that require S-OFF (the ROM requirements in the thread will state so). Also you will have to flash the boot.img manually
To do this download your select ROM. Extract the boot.img to where you have the fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll (you should have gotten these 3 files when you unlocked the bootloader). Then open the command window (shift, right click, open command window here) and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
the boot.img can be renamed to whatever you would like. I keep all my boot images and the fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll in 1 folder because i download a lot of ROMs. If you do rename the boot.img, i suggest renaming it to the name of the ROM its for. When you type in the fastboot command, just remember to put the .img at the end. This is necessary or it will not work.
If you want to gain S-OFF continue through the guide.
Is this what you want to know"
If i should to that what room are then talking about (it is ex Lacoste that i want to have)
Thanks for the help you are so kind

The guide says to flash the superuser zip in recovery... Let's start with that first.
As to your dialer not working, reflash the ROM if its custom. If its stock, don't bother with it and just flash a custom ROM later.

[Q] Updating TWRP

Ok here is the skinny. I have the Sprint HTC 1. Currently rooted and running Beanstalk 4.3 and TWRP 2.5 ... I have read, re read, and read again how to update my TWRP to 2.6.3 and have no luck.
I have tried Terminal Emulator
I have tired Goo Manager. It actually down loads the file. Runs through the process. Never reboots or updates
I have tried Fastboot. For what ever reason my computer does not pick up and adb devices. It shows Fastboot USB
Any thoughts. I had some unlock this one for me and throw TWRP on. All my others I have done myself.
I love TWRP..but if I cannot fix...what is the easiest way to put Philz or CWM on instead?
Want to update a ROM to 4.4 Kitkat but cannot with out an updated recovery

While in fastbootusb check your drivers
Device not recognized? (If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

This is TWRPS guidelines
Download the above file into your platform-tools dir. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fastboot from the menu list. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. This method requires that you have the drivers installed that come with the HTC Sync software that are available here. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer.

May be a moot point. I am upgrading to a Team Nocturnal_xR1 which is a 4.4 ROM. So far it has been loading and allowed the file on a TWRP 2.5.0.0 version. I still need to upgrade the TWRP version. Right now looks like it may work.

Check PM

I had a similar issue where I needed the updated twrp. I ended up using the original AIO toolkit that I used to root the phone/unlock the phone to begin with.
I found the latest version of the AIO (made by Hasoon: http://www.hasoon2000.info/getdownl...obile,ATT,Sprint)/One_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1.rar) and the latest image of TWRP from here: http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices.
After installing hasoon, stick the downloaded image in the data/recoveries folder w/in the folders from the AIO. Next use the "Your Own Recovery" option under the flash a recovery option and choose that image instead. Worked great for me several times. Hopefully it does for you. Let me know if you have question.

Do you have fastboot.exe on your computer? It looks like CMD isn't finding fastboot.exe 1-because you don't have it 2- because you have not started your cmd prompt from your fastboot.exe folder
can you post a screenshot of your cmd prompt when you get this error?

Think you need to open the command prompt in the adb folder, and also have the unlock_code.bin in that same folder.

Like mb_guy said, you MUST place the bin file in the same folder where adb and fastboot are. Every time you want to flash a file to your phone it must be in that folder, otherwise fastboot won't find it and it will output you that error (can't open file). That rule apply to recovery, unlock code, rom, kernel, ruu, firmware etc etc.

''error: cannot open'' is caused because fastboot don't find the file. Is the recovery file you are trying to flash is named exactly <openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img> ?
Btw I'll recommend you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 not 2.6.3.0 as you could have issur flashing newer 4.4 rom
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_file.img>
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Btw I'll recommend you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 not 2.6.3.0 as you could have issur flashing newer 4.4 rom
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_file.img>
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Yes, named exactly the same.
It's driving me mad, if the bootloader is now unlocked is there an easier way to flash twrp and then root.
Whats the best way to check adb is actually communicating with the phone

Do you have a Sprint phone ? and can you post a screen shot of your adb / fastboot folder containing the files or at least post your results for dir
open command prompt from your adb / fastboot folder (shift+right click - command prompt here)
type
adb devices
your device SN will be here
type
adb reboot bootloader
you should be in fastboot usb
type
fastboot devices
again your serial no should be here
type dir
you should see the contains of the folder your in
now
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
if error change the twrp name to match the one in the dir command above

I seem to have a problem adb detecting the connected phone, I'll unistall and start again and if I can then get back to you later I'd appreciate it very much.
The phone is UK on 02 Android 4.4 HTC Sense version 5.5

can you check my guide under faq #2, if that solves it

Well, think I'll give up with rooting my HTC One, I have never had so much trouble routing a divice as this. My bootloader is now unlocked and that's about as far as I get.
My phone seems to have been detected once through adb that then allowed me to run unlock token but everything else just fails.
In one last attempt I've attached image of ADB folder and below is result from command line.
It must be my age because evertybing seems so complex nowadays
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes
error: cannot load 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img': No error

cannot load = MyFileNameIsWrong
and from the screenshot you posted the filename is: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img.img <- yes, double extension, next time do a "dir" in command prompt to see your filenames, not in Windows Explorer.

I love you nkk71, I really can't tell you how much I love you but I do !!!!! :victory:

Been struggling 2 weeks with this and non stop all weekend, my wife wants a divorce but I don't care cos I'M ROOTED !!
Thanks so much for all the help, nice one :good:

Lol
Now that the phone is good, go spend some time with your better half!!!
No guides on xda, on "how to return my marriage to stock"
Put the phone on the charger or something, and spend time with your significant other.

One last question
nkk71,
Can I uninstall Superuser now and install SuperSU instead cos I've already purchased that when had the Note rooted or will it cause me more time away from the mrs with issues.

Shouldn't be a problem, use the flashable zip from the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Yeah , sorted.
Thanks again for all your help.

TWRP cmd´s doesnt want to work

Hello,
i unlocked Bootloader and wanted to configure twrp.
I used this tutorial: unofficialtwrp.com/nubia-red-magic-3-nx629j-root-twrp/
And from the point where it says "now open cmd in the adb tools folder and type below code" nothing works!
I always get an error that it couldnt the needed files/folder whatever.
What am i doing wrong?
My Phone is connected by cable to my PC and USB Debugging is turned on.

Thank you for helping me but it knows my adb location but doesnt accept an comands i type. Unlocking bootloader worked perfectly by using cmd but using adb doesnt. I dont understand why...
I just dont get it done to get to twrp launcher.
Maybe it doesnt work because i got a Global Rom and only found one for japanese/US Version?!

Yes.
TWRP only works on CN version
Not working on global Version

Does someone know if a twrp global will be available some day?
