My HTC ONE wont mount via usb so i'm trying to flash a custom rom to the phone's internal storage (as it has no sdcard slot)
I have got as far as opening the CMD and directing it to the device but i dont know the proper command to ADD a zip file to the storage
anyone pls help, i think this is fairly simple
You're supposed to be using ADB commands in order to sideload a ROM and then install it from recovery.
Is that what you are trying to do or how are you going about it? Are you trying to use fast boot commands? Because those won't work.
Here's a guide to setting up ADB:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
You'll need proper drivers for your computer to recognise your device in ADB mode, and those are automatically installed with HTC Sync Manager.
After placing the ROM file into the platform-tools folder, rename it to rom.zip and then execute the following command:
adb sideload rom.zip
Of course that's after making sure that your device is actually recognised by ADB and listed in command prompt, by using this code:
adb devices
Good luck
Ok great i think i have adb and most of the drivers already installed so i'll give this a go.
yes my ONE got stuck in bootloop with CM10.1 and my backups are on my PC not the phone so i figured i'd mount by USB but neither TWRP or CWM will mount by USB????
I have CWM touch installed so i'm thinking as long as this is in place my device isn't tottally shafted?
Use the command:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/0
or
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /data/media
when you're in CWM, then flash the rom
Drag and drop it to the storage folder. Should be
/storage/sdcard0
And you can use ftp WiFi from the playstore if you don't wanna connect via usb cable.
I've resolved this now.
i'll explain what i did, it may help someone else out:
I went into CWM
Then i formatted the internal sdcard
Once i did that, an option in CWM appeared to sideload zip, i picked that, then it waited for the sideload command
went to folder on my PC containing adb.exe > hold shift > right click > open command here
then typed "adb sideload <romname>"
thanks for the help, good community here.
Yes, that's the correct way. And by the way, you cannot mount usb storage while you're in recovery anymore, neither TWRP nor CWM will do that for you. The only other option is using an OTG cable.
Here is the story in a nutshell I flashed xdabbeb's bootstack, then his rom. Then I did something stupid such as wipe everything folks, I mean everything. So my phone then restarted and I am able to get into recovery twrp 2.7.
I have tried in twrp to sideload, mount neither which work.
I have my drivers installed it says in device manager when I plug the phone up for download mode
android- galaxy nexus adb
and under ports it says LGE AndroidNet for VZW ADB Interface com41
I tried lg flash tool, tried with old vs98010b rom

I really need help guys, are there any adb commands I can type or are there any drivers I need to install
Ok when i hold the up and plug in it takes me to fastboot
[500] fastboot mode started
[550] udc_start()
[720] reset
[730] portcharge
[740] reset
[750] portcharge
and the device only registers as android under other on my computer
i've installed lg drivers
How can you fastboot flash? When I hold up and plug in for fastboot my computer wont register a driver just shows android what are the commands and how do I use fastboot

Download mode is not going to work because the laf partition (this allows for download mode to work) is wiped when you flash xdabbeb's bootstack in favor of fastboot mode.
I suggest you pm xdabbeb; he will guide you on the steps to using the necessary fastboot commands to get your phone working again. He's already helped a few people that were in the same situation as you are in right now.
Fastboot is good because you can write certain partitons at a time without having to .tot and wipe your whole phone.
You could also flash his xdabbeb_vs98024a_laf.zip http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407586639 file in TWRP 2.7 to restore download mode, but you will end up wiping your whole phone by using the LG Flash Tool, even your sd card when you restore your phone.
You said you "wiped everything", I'm not sure if that means your sd card too, if so, then that might be the easiest thing to do since you still have access to recovery. You will need an otg cable and a flash drive to mount the flash drive in TWRP 2.7 and flash the file, unless you can side load the file with adb.
Either way, like I mentioned earlier, it might be a good idea to pm xdabbeb first.
Hey my phone is already wiped even sdcard, but the thing is i cant flash that file because I can not get it on my phone. So ill ask xdabbeb the fastboot commands. Yeah and I read about the otg cable, ordered one of those babies should be here this saturday and hopefully it will mount my flash drive in that case id be golden untill then ill see what mr xdabbeb has to say.
cant sideload
everytime i try to sideload the file it just says cant read file or something like that
And I really appreciate you responding. Always nice to get support from somebody when your just sitting here and your phone seems like it hasnt been working for an eternity. Almost depressing not hearing from anyhbody and just seeing all the views but no replys. Thank you
Hey there...Fastboot is about as basic/simple/reliable as it comes. If you have adb/fastboot set up properly then command is:
fastboot flash <partition> <filename>
for example:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In your case, you claim to have a working recovery (twrp 2.7), but are unable to copy files from your computer to your phone. It sounds like you don't have the proper drivers installed so that you can use adb from recovery. This is a common/known issue with windows and I believe I replied to you in the rom thread already about this, but you need to install/use Koush's universal adb driver and simply copy the rom file over to your phone using the following command:
adb push <filename> /sdcard/
After you have the file there you can flash it as normal in recovery.
If you want to use a kdz/tot method to restore your phone, just download the laf zip file from my thread, extract the laf.img file from the zip, and use the following command to put it in place:
fastboot flash laf laf.img
Then you can go about the tot restore method described in the thread here. You don't need to put the tot file itself on your phone. It just needs to be on your computer.
I get to sdk and open cmd
type adb devices it says
List of devices attached
0215817d960ce580 sideload
Then I type adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
error: closed
When phone is plugged in for adb device manager says under android device- Google galaxy Nexus ADB Interface
I have universal drivers installed and I goto device manger to update drivers where clockworkmod is installed and it doesnt do anything
Fastboot it says in other devices in device manager

Wait, I'm confused here a little bit. Are you trying to do sideload mode in TWRP or are you using fastboot mode?
And the command you typed is not correct fastboot flash recovery laf.img...you don't want to do that...this would flash the laf.img in your recovery partition.
xdabbeb referenced two methods to you...one was pushing a Rom to your sdcard and then flashing that Rom in TWRP to get your phone booting...the other was to flash the laf.img file and do a .tot if that's what you prefer.
It seems like you want to do a .tot restore, so do the second method xdabbeb suggested.
Get into fastboot mode and type fastboot flash laf laf.img
Make sure you use the correct laf.img...you can extract it from the zip in my previous post/link.
After this your download mode should be working again.
I was trying either one
For fastboot I downloaded xdabbebs laf
the image file in his file is laf.img, if thats not the right file then where is the recovery.img
So the recovery.img would have been one that i made?
and laf is so I can us lg tool to tot flash?
Even when i try to flash the laf it keeps saying waiting for device. I have the drivers koushu installed and lg

Yes, download xdabbeb's laf.img, it's the link I gave you originally. You will have to take out the laf.img file from the zip file that is called xdabbeb_vs98024a_laf.zip
The recovery command he gave was just an example, there was no need for you to use it.
Yes, flashing the laf.img will fix your download mode and you will be able to do the .tot method.
What am I suppose to do about it saying wiating for device, its not detecting it

That sounds like a driver issue. Reboot your computer and turn off the phone and start again. See if that helps. You can also remove the drivers and re-install...I suggest you reboot your computer every time you install new drivers.
EDIT:
Are you using a newer adb.exe from your android sdk? If you have ioroot25 installed on your computer I suggest you use the folder/files from there. It has a newer adb.exe in there; put your laf.img file in that folder too if you do use that instead, and run the command prompt from within that folder.
Ok when my phone is plugged into my comp, im on win 7 it shows up as android under other devices when started in fastboot mode. When I browse to the driver location to load for the android it says no driver found for it.
Yes i just installed the sdk like 2 days ago so I know its current.
As far as the driver situation, why would I need to uninstall if it isnt even installing a driver.
This is terrible

For me it shows up under "ADB Interface", but I don't have the universal driver installed.
I didn't realize it wasn't installing the driver for you.
You have to get that driver going or you won't be able to get your phone fixed. Maybe try a different usb port or a different computer.
Man yeah mine doesnt look at all like that. Im uninstalling lg driver and universal one and clearing temp folder. Then restart and reinstall maybe that will work. So its just the koushu driver that works for fastboot and adb right?

Yeah, it should work. I've read posts by others stating that it works.
Yep just reinstalled the universal drivers, plug phone up into fastboot and still get the same result
Can you perhaps send me that driver you have? Because I know if you have that one and it works for you it SHOULD work for me. Murphs law is killing me. I can pm you my email address
I've made a mistake,
I've wiped all with twrp:
system,
boot,
cache,
internal storage
So I've no OS and no flashable zip in the device.
I've tried to use ADB sideload, but i'm not able to use. I've drivers installed in the pc, but mobile phone is not recognised (other driver missing???).
Fastboot is working and the device is recognized.
Is it possible to flash a rom via fastboot, in this current status?
Or how to make it working the ADB shell? what is missing??
Thank you all.
Please save my phone!

hi there,
have you even bothered looking, or searching?? pretty much every thread has the info you need.
if you had bothered looking at the the Frequently Asked Question sticky including page 3
you would have your answer
or any of the other Q&A thread, for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52396849&postcount=11
Sounds like you need to download the right drivers for Windows and adb push a rom zip on over. If your having no luck with Windows, load up a live cd or usb of Ubuntu and install adb there.
Good luck and happy searching.
it is possible to flash a ROM/ RUU via fastboot but you should install the right ADB to your PC. other way, mount your storage via TWRP, copy your ROM to your storage, then flash it.

I've obviously seen the faq, but nothing was working.
however, ad have you said I've to install the right ADB on my pc. In fact adb was not working because drivers was not working.
I've resolved doing the following.
Remove manually drivers from windows, install manually drivers, restart windows :good:
:good::good::good: adb now is working
Thank you for the support
Happy holidays,
I am having trouble to get my htc one m7 back to normal.
I did erase my android and internal sd card( not backup on sd card avail).
What does it mean - after rebooting my phone is stuck in HTC logo screen not booting.
It was unlocked/rooted in the first place - my plan to do a factory reset
Another issue is that my PC (win 7) does not recognize my HTC ( as storage unit ), I tried driver updates,diff cables and another PC same issue ( Android 1.0) so I am unable to copy/access the htc's sd card
What i can access/see/work with:
bootloader menu
TWRP
Once i reboot from TWRP menu, it says "no OS installed"
I could feed more details if needed.
I am desperately looking for advice. If anyone could share some thoughts, I'd be very thankful
( not a native english speaker excuse my language,)

The phone only works in fastboot when in the bootloader and adb when in TWRP
from TWRP sideload this Rom to your phone
http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_83.1.zip
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot
if you have trouble with sideload use push
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
Thank you very much sir ! Works like a charm,
Much appreciated !
It's a bit urgent to get solved, I'm at college, and that's the only way to talk with my parents, being 1 or 2 days without answering them would be a problem, since they will start to get worried.
Phone: Motorola Moto G 2014, XT1063
Using Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.0.1
Basically I was trying to update to the Android 5.0, since I had my phone rooted, I decided to go with an customized ROM.
DIdn't understand why, but it f**ed up.
Basically I cleaned everything, and in an act of desperation I also lost my sdcard, I've been trying to install the ROM through sideload, but it's not working, I get the error *failed to write data protocol fault no status*, and the phone keeps rebooting, and stuck in the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED"
I appreciate any kind of help, as I said, it's really important to solve this ASAP.
Thanks in advance!
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

1) download TWRP 2.8.4.0 and install it through fastboot.
2) Since you have no sdcard we will use the mtp capability of twrp
-- Boot into your newly installed recovery. Check the version
-- Go to Mount and disable mtp and unmount everything. Now enable mtp. You should see that Data is mounting automatically and should appear on your Computer.
-- Transfer your ROM (I recommend The Titan Prime Rom for XT1063/64. It's based on stock and much more polished than CM12)
-- Download and transfer pa-gapps (MICRO MODULAR PACKAGE).
-- Download and transfer latest SuperSU (min version 2.45 is required by our device).
-- Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System and Data
-- Now Flash ROM, GApps and SuperSU. reboot and wait. it will take a couple of minutes.
Doppel u r right. follow doppel steps.

The device appear as offline in the fastboot, sometimes even doesn't appear, where can I get the drivers?
I searched for naked versions, and "universal" ones, but none seems to work.

You can get Motorola drivers here. You probably also need a recent version of adb and fastboot. You can ge it here Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Install it.
start "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" by navigating to the Start Menu Folder you choose to create during installation or the desktop shortcut you choose to create and select "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
You should now see a command window open.
Put your device in fastboot mode and connect usb.
Now just do verify type this command
Code:
fastboot devices
the output should show something like this (your number is different)
Code:
fastboot devices
ZX1D225X69 fastboot
now put your recovery.img into the directory where your command window is open and start flashing
Code:
fastboot flash recovery NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img

You need a wall charger. USB from pc does not supply enough power. And you need at least 25% (ish) otherwise fastboot will refuse do do anything.

On the MOUNT and UNMOUNT processing I don't see anything on my PC, I don't even know how to unmount it. It only appears Enable MTP and disable.
How am I supposed to load the ROMS?
Tried with sideload but got an errror : "Error executing updater binary in zip .."
Seems like the drivers aren't working properly, I have Windows 8.1, on the site it doesn't talk about it, this might be the problem? Cause I instaled motorola device manager, I scan for drivers but it doens't find anything, and the phone apperas with the yellow triangle on the Device Manager.
