Mounting storage in recovery

So I managed to screw up by wiping both my data and my system, so now I have no os installed and no way to flash an OS from .zip files. Is there anyway for me to add a file to my storage and then flash it via recovery?

Download a rom and put it in your adb folder
hold in shift and right click on your adb folder - 'open folder in terminal' or similar (not at my computer atm) should be there
Type
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Or
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
both must be done in recovery. If you do the sideload method, choose the sideload option in recovery - once it transfers it will begin to install automatically. 'adb push' will put the file onto your sdcard then install it yourself in recovery.

It says device not found.

What about if you go into fastboot in the bootloader screen and type
fastboot devices
Maybe you need to reinstall your adb files...
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

then you need to install HTC drivers for your phone. If configured correctly you can do adb devices and it will show up.
If you have drivers installed correctly under device manager the phone shows up as My HTC. Make sure you aren't using a USB 3 port if your computer has one.

Reboot your computer. That worked for me. I did the same thing
Also download HTC all in one tool kit. Its a lifesaver.

no only fastboot commands.

So then where do i do the adb commands? In the recovery? I don't get why adb devices isn't giving me anything when fastboot is.

No, adb must be done in recovery.
Go into recovery and try
adb devices
If nothing shows up you need to re-install/update your adb files and HTC drivers.
If your devices shows up this time then do what I said earlier...

You can either reboot the computer or stop and restart the adb service from the windows management console. The driver for fastboot and adb are the same so I suspect it's something with adb server acting up

I'm guessing you update adb files via sdk manager?

Very, since clicking on the micro-otg doesn't do anything. I managed to get sideload working I believe. It's at 40%, hopefully it is sideloading the file.

USB not showing up in cwm recovery

My phone recently lost its ROM, and is now stuck on the 'HTC quietly beautiful screen', i did manage to get it into clock work mode recovery and have a backup of my old rom on a usb, however, when i plug in the USB before starting the phone it doesn't show up, meaning i cannot restore. Please help! Any help or feedback is much appreciated! :good:

When you're in recovery, you have to use the command:
Code:
adb devices
for see your phone.
After use adb command like push or sideload for put a rom into the phone

Thanks, but how would i do that on a mac?

That's why I have parallels!
I had this problem the other day and I fixed it by going to data/media in recovery and installing an old Rom that was downloaded. I could then restore afterwards.

I am not sure what a binary is (HTC One is my first android phone so I'm new) but if it is the recovery mode, i only installed it about a week ago

Do you have the folder containing the adb and fastboot files on your Desktop? And do you have HTC Sync installed? It will load the proper drivers, even though I heard it may not be necessary anyway.
This method worked for me on my Mac. It is very simple using Terminal.
You don't actually have to download the whole SDK, just download the file attached in the threat, which is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1396782&d=1350078941
Place it on your Desktop, and follow the instructions. After ADB successfully lists your device, move the ROM file to your android folder and use the following command: adb sideload rom.zip of course replacing 'rom.zip' with whatever your rom's name is. You can also use adb push if you want to move your Nandroid backup to your device, but I am not sure where it will be located on the device itself afterwards.
Oh and you should be in TWRP > Advanced > ADB Sideload mode if you want to sideload the ROM. I am not sure how it works on CWM but it should be the same way.

Thanks, i have tried this method already and am in Clockworkmod recovery, i don't have TWRP

Am I Screwed?

I was messing around in CWM touch. In the Storage and Mounts directory..
I've done this before , (format /sdcard)..but this time I went a step further and did (format /data) AND also
(format /data and /data/media) commands. I might have even hit the Format /system command .
Now I'm stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen, with the red text on the bottom..and it wont go no further...i just wanted to shine my sd card..
And because I have formated my SD card, there is nothing on it so no back up now... I'm on the Viperone rom..and by formating system i think i wiped the device :S..i really dont know..man.
So i tried opening an ADB shell to see if i could push the Viperone zip from my pc direcctly..but adb doesn't recocgnize the device..
I'm Unlocked bootloader
S-Off
SuperCid- 11111111

Sounds like you’ve got nothing left. Reflash your rom on your super shiny phone.

My device is bricked, like really is bricked..
I can boot into boot loader but what good is that if my PC is saying unknown usb device..

Not the problem, I can boot into recovery but my phone doesnt start up.
I cant place nothing on the sd card to flash, and ADB SHELL isnt recognizing my device..
so i have to reflash a stock carrier right? by running an RUU exe?
which one can i Use for a M7_UL i think the closest one to a bell canada ruu would be ATT?
Wait can't I just PUSH the zip. to my sdcard then run the zip from clockwork??

If you can get into recovery then sideload a rom

Edit: uninstall everything HTC
reboot pc

okay but first let me try a command in ADB, whats that show CID command??
if that works then i dont have to uninstall drivers..

Your good to sideload a rom in recovery
Put the rom zip in the folder you are running your cmd commands from
OR use adb push with the rom in the same folder
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/

You don't need to open an AD shell to push the rom

No, Tmobile. I'm from the UK so we dont have sprint. I can access my SD card but there are no files inside and i can not put any rom to flash because you can only access the internal storage once the phone is up and running.

Open a cmd window from your android sdk/platform tools folder or any folder that has adb.exe and fastboot.exe
Start sideload in CWM then in the cmd window type adb sideload nameofrom.zip and it will be copied to your phone then just flash
Edit put the rom.zip in that folder also
Edit 2 you can also adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/

what is the correct command for ADB PUSH on the LG?

trying to push file but not having success.
are there any different commands than the regular commands for the G2?
adb push update.zip /sdcard
is there something i'm missing?
CWM puts you in ADB mode on launch right?

adb devices shows phone attached recovery
adb push update.zip /sdcard returns nothing
am i missing a command? do I need to open a shell? or let it sit for awhile as it is a 1gb+ file

You would need to specify the correct path... /sdcard is not a real path (its a symbolic link), try
adb push update.zip /data/media/0

that could be an issue, lol
hadn't done pushes for a long time so i haven't used the command

Actually, the more I think about, that is incorrect as well, you have to specify the filename of the destination too...
adb push update.zip /data/media/0/update.zip
would be more correct.

once i hit enter, what should i see? should i see a progress bar? the file is 1.3GB, will it take a while?

yup....took awhile! trying the flash now

I'm having a similar issue - seems like adb is set up correctly, but I'm unsure if the push command is working. About how long did you have to wait? Did you have any notifications on progress, etc?
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------
Nvm! Worked out - just took some time like the OP's.
For future reference - it took mine about 15-20 minutes to transfer a file that was about 1.3gb (similar to the OP's) and the terminal window (using OSX) showed a blank line after submitting the push command. The blank line was replaced by a summary of the file transfer (speed, time, and size) once the transfer was completed.
