Hello there
I am stuck without a ROM and without a ROM zip file anywhere on the internal device that I can use TWRP to install. The only option I have at the moment is to use adb sideload, and this is my first time doing so.
I downloaded this:
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130522
Anyway, I am trying to follow this tutorial but it's not working out for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986
It looks simple and easy, but this is the problem I am facing:
"I changed directories to where the adb.exe is (inside platform-tools) and ADB Sideload is already started in TWRP. However, whenever I type "adb devices" it only says "List of attached devices" and nothing under it. Whenever I try flashing the ROM, it says error: device not found. What am I doing wrong here? I even changed the name of the ROM to rom.zip to make it shorter as per a suggestion in the first page of the thread, but that didn't work either."
Can someone please help me and tell me how to make it work? I have been without a ROM for hours waiting for the SDK to download this my internet is pretty slow. Thanks a lot!
Okay now I realize my device isn't actually recognized, although it works fine with fastboot usb.
What do I do? I tried having windows automatically search for drivers but it didn't find anything.
Okay after doing some more reading I realized I never actually opened SDK Manager, and when I try, it just opens a black command prompt window and then shuts down. I then came across this article and realized I need Java JDK drivers before I can actually run SDK Manager and then follow the rest of the tutorial. Maybe that is the problem??
You need HTC drivers , if you didn't install HTC SYNC, open "virtual CD", that appears at connection of phone with PC and you will see folders with drivers for different OS.
Thanks, mate. I already fixed the problem but I forgot to update this thread. You are right, I did not have the proper drivers, so I downloaded and installed HTC Sync Manager and then everything went great.
I had the same problem last night trying to flash my first rom ever, but thankfully i had a usb otg cable that I used to put the rom zip in my flash drive and flash it into the phone

Thanks, guys. I ordered an OTG USB cable this morning just to avoid any future problems.
Last night, on TWRP I formated data on the SD card, which is why I have no OS. Now looking for how to fix this on xda/google, I get into the bootloader, have fastboot usb and try to adb shell but I keep getting the "error no device found". I already installed latest drivers from HTC on to my laptop and still nothing. Any other idea?
windows 8?
First off, make sure you have HTC Sync Manager installed because that will give you the proper drivers in order to be able to use ADB commands.
Afterwards, make sure you install Java JDK and Android SDK.
Just follow this tutorial here: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Follow it word for word and make sure you install JDK X86 even if you have a X64 computer. And then download SDK Manager, put it in C:/ drive, open SDK Manager, and download the necessary tools (also all in the tutorial).
I was in the same position as you just before yesterday and I followed this tutorial with success.

I'll look into both things, thanks.
EDIT: even on my mac adb does not see any devices, before when I entered ./adb devices it would show "list of devices:" and it would be blank.
Good luck, man. It's fairly easy once you read the tutorial carefully and follow all the steps to the word. After it's all done and the command prompt says Sideload 100%, boot into TWRP, tap INSTALL and then scroll down to sideload.zip and that's your ROM. Also after copying the desired ROM to platform-tools in the SDK folder, rename it to rom.zip, it seems to work 100% that way while it struggles a bit with long names.

Still getting the error: device not found.
I even ran the all in one tool kit and attempted the "ADB sideload a ROM" follow the steps but get an error on CMD "C:\users\(username) is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
I really do not understand why adb is not working, I did s-off and supercid myself maybe less than a week ago.
Are you sure you followed all the steps in the tutorial including installing JDK, using SDK Manager to download some tools and such? And are you sure you have the proper drivers installed (e.g HTC Sync Manager)? I used to get that error before I installed it. Go to Device Manager while in ADB mode in TWRP and see if the device is recognized or if there's a yellow sign beside it indicating that there are no drivers for it.

It came up under Android USB Devices as My HTC. When I was following the steps on the link you provided, when I tried to update the drivers with the google usb driver wouldnt work, it would say "windows had determined the driver software for your device is up to date". When I go into My HTC properties says the driver version is 2.0.7.18.
The Google USB drivers did not work for me either, only the ones provided by HTC Sync Manager did. I have not experienced that problem, mate, so I do not know what to do at this point, I am very sorry. If you are not able to fix this, I suggest getting an OTG cable and directly loading the ROM from the PC to your SD card. I ordered one a couple of days ago and it is coming tomorrow, it's very helpful

Crap, I appreciate your help though.
EDIT: nevermind googled it, gonna pick one up. Phoneless till wednesday
I am sorry to hear that, but I suppose that's the only thing you can do at the moment. Even if somehow get ADB working, do not cancel your order because OTG cables aren't only used for mounting the device, but also for things like connecting gamepads and controllers to play games on your device.
USB 3
If you have USB3 port adb.exe wan't recognize your device.
I triend first on USB3 and after on other older computer on USB2 all was fine

You can't acces to "adb shell" without OS, there is special mode in adb named "adb sideload" , not shell !
1) Check version adb by "adb version" you need version 1.0.29 or higher
2) Check TWRP version (2.3 or higher) Go to TWRP recovery -> adb sideload
3) Connect PC to phone , at PC in device manager must be MY HTC device.
4) Type jn PC adb sideload /yourpath/yourrom.zip

Hey guys,
First of all I'd like to apoligize for my english skills and a thread if I've posted in a wrong one category.
However, I have REALLY serious problem right now and I'll try to explain. Today I decided to reset my phone (settings - back up & reset). This didin't help me as I was expected therefore I wiped out all the data by using TWRP(yes, I'm a noob). Thought that it will erase everything but the ROM. I tried to do a reboot and the phone did the htc quietly brilliant logo but got caught at the beats audio logo screen and never advanced.
Went into recovery and tried to do a factory reset, and a whole bunch of other things (tried to reboot system, but is says that no os installed). The phone still gets stuck at the same screen. Also, I am unable to get it to be accessible on my computer again. it says that installing new device but nothing happens, so I have no way how to get into sdcard and mount a new ROM or something. Is there any way how to fix it?? How to install a new ROM when USB not working and there's no way to take off SD card.....?

TWRP has an option to enable adb sideload. Then you can adb push rom.zip

Nothing happens, actually. All I can see is " Usage: adb sideload filename.zip, Updating partition details... Starting ADB sideload feature" and that's it. Waited for 5 min and still nothing..

You go into TWRP and enable sideload mode, it will do nothing but say sideload is being started. Then copy whatever ROM you want into the same folder as fastboot and adb. Open up a new command window and type "adb sideload rom.zip", obviously name your ROM "rom.zip" and click enter ... In the command window you should see a percentage figure start to increase as it pushes it to your phone. When it's completed just flash the ROM like normal in TWRP.

Another option is to just use an OTG cable and flash a ROM from a flash drive.

Just tried what you said and still nothing. There're somekinda problems with USB, I'm even unable to connect my phone.. When I typed "adb sideload rom.zip" it was saying "error: device not found" only. Will try to reinstall htc sync drivers, but I think it won't help.. Any other ideas how to back my htc to life (didin't try with OTG cable yet)?

Hey mate,
I just got OTG cable, moved a new Rom into USB stick and tried to mount on TWRP. All I got was "E: Unable to mount '/usb-otg'. Maybe I've missed couple of steps before?
FIXED: All I had to do is to format an USB stick in FAT32. Everything went well and now I can use my phone once again. Thanks a lot for your help, hope it will help to others as well.
Cheers!
Hello!
I have an HTC one developer edition, I did an advance wipe of my phone because it wasn't charging, it said that USB Host mode was on. It only charged when the phone was off. I decided to wipe everything but the pictures (or so I thought) but once it finished the wipe the entire OS systems was erased, know the only thing I can do is enter TWRP.
Please Help I just bought the phone!

chose whatever rom you want as long its compatible with your device variant and compatible with your twrp version.
what do you mean by doesn't read the phone? its is not detected as sideload when you type ''adb devices''?

.exe file extension might be hidden depending your windows configuration. Go ahead with the guide it should work.
Open a cmd prompt from that folder. (shift + right click in a blank space) (step 4)
with you device in twrp sideload mode (step 1,2,3 completed)
type in the cmd prompt:
Code:
adb devices
make sure it output your device s/n + sideload
then
Code:
adb sideload <name_of_rom>.zip
what rom did you downloaded?

so your drivers aren't properly installed. download latest htc sync from htc website, it will install the drivers for you. then uninstall htc sync as it may interfere with what you are trying to do. (the drivers will remain installed)

HI everyone, i have unlocked Mi Mix with EU Global ROM (rooted) and TWRP installed.
After the phone was playing up, I idiotically removed root and deleted Xposed, and it was OK, but tonight I tried to re-install originial ROM, and now can't do anything with the phone.
I can boot into TWRP, but when i try fastboot, the fastboor screen comes up for 20 seconds, then the phone boots to Mi logo, and nothing happens.
I can't get computer to recognize the phone so can't add new ROM - so unsure how to do anything now
Any help appreciated, thanks!

Hello !! i think i can help you , well same thin happened to me and what i did was ----∑ Boot into recovery , plug your phone to computer , download Universal ADB Driver and when it detects Adb Composite click install . Then you will be able to unlock and use fastboot. Hope it helps if not im sorry , this is all i know. Good Luck !!!
If you are able to boot in to twrp why just install the original Chinese rom and start from scratch.

There is sdcard on Mix, then if you see internal storage you can copy rom on it then when u try to flash, navigate to this zip file...
Other u can flash using MiFlashTool using adb feature....

When you boot into TWRP, try "adb devices" on your PC. If it's read there, you can use the "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/" command to push the ROM to your phone and then install it.

Thanks, is adb devices the same as mimal ADB and fastboot? As in, the program? I have that installed, although it can't find phone
And sorry for knowing so little, i don't have much Android experince.
Thanks,

Check if u have an issue with your driver when device is connected... device manager on windows 10...
If yes, check to install driver from computer (not from web or cd's or something like that), select universal USB/adb feature... and ur device will appear...

Well, I use minimal ADB and fastboot too. Just run it, and try "adb devices". If it's read, you can try the "adb push". If not, please check your Device Manager to see if it is read there.

It doesn't appear in Device Manager, and it always has done before. I installed new drivers (made sure they were correct), rebooted PC, and still doesn;'t show in device manager, so not sure what top do!

Damn. Not sure what to do either. Maybe download a fastboot ROM from their site and flash it trough Miflash? Maybe that'll work? If not, then I'm out of ideas.

I've 100% installed the right drivers, but the device doesn't show in device manager, or anywhere on my PC! It does charge though, which is weird

if you have a usb OTG adapter you can put a rom on an usb stick mount it in twrp and flash from there
Did you do a total wipe? And left your device totally clean?

Put your ROM in the same folder as your adb drivers folder. Hold shift while right clicking in this folder and choose "open command window here". Boot into TWRP and goto "advanced", then "adb sideload". Now write in the command prompt "adb devices". It should now show your device id and "sideload" after it. Write "adb sideload name of your rom.zip"
At least your phone isn't totally dead like mine. I powered mine off with a full charge and we to power it back on a little while later and it's totally dead now. Even Xiaomi Flash Tool won't let me flash anything. Sees the phone but won't let me flash anything. I get an error code. Xiaomi, via email says they can't service my phone because I'm in the USA. This will be my last Xiaomi phone. So pissed off
