Help Needed Please

Hi, I know this is going to sound so stupid but I need help ASAP.
I was fooling around with installing different ROM's for my HTC One, I tried the Google Edition for a while and decided it wasn't for me as I lost the TV remote. I then tried to re-flash the Android Revolution HD 12 I had on before and it wouldn't flash. I thought a wipe would work but now I've succeeded in ending up with a TWRP recovery that works fine but no software whatsoever to flash or boot to. The phone says 'No OS Installed'
Every time I turn off the phone it also says that it doesn't appear to be rooted, do I want to install supersu? The phone says 'unlocked' with CID 11111111
I have totally fallen into the idiot trap, too much confidence and ambition, zero skill and talent.

You should be able to use this toolkit to install SU and also to sideload a rom zip from your PC to the phone to reinstall your ROM of choice. Sounds like you wiped your data partition entirely. Since you have S-off and Super CID you should have no problems loading another rom. Just have to use one of the creative ways to get it on the phone (sideload, USB-OTG adapter, etc.)

Well the easiest way to do a sideload is using the All in One tool. Do you have access to any other PC that have Windows 7 or XP? I don't have a win 8 system to try to assist with compatibility mode with the one.exe tool.
If no other PC options are available then we will have to go the long way which will involve installing ADB like in this guide: (Under Installation section - It has 5 steps for installing ADB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427008
Once ADB is installed we can use these steps from the sideload guide that I posted:
Make Sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. in TWRP, Hit advanced and find Sideload
3. Swipe to start Sideload
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. type adb devices and it should show your device connected and say sideload
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder - See Example Below
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. type adb sideload nameofzip.zip <------------See Example Below
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. if adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery

Format System - Phone Wont Connect

Well I did something stupid, I was getting ready to give my phone to a friend and in my haste to make sure everything was deleted, I formatted /system in CWM recovery. I dont have any backups left on it either.
Now, I just need to flash a new rom, but I cant get my phone to connect to a computer in order to transfer the rom over.
It shows up immediately in Device Manager under Android USB Devices > My HTC, but it does not show up as a separate drive in My Computer.
Ive made sure the driver is up to date.
Anyone have any ideas?

you cant connect your device to computer in MTP mode because you are not having any rom
try adb sideloading rom or adb push rom in custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (i used TWRP) in order to upload rom to sdcard
For Adb sideloading rom
> Reboot into TWRP
> in TWRP click "advanced" and navigate to "Sideload"
> Swipe to start Sideload
> now type "adb sideload romzip.zip"
wait until 100% then reboot back to recovery to flash the rom
If Adb sideload doesnt work..try Adb push
> Reboot into TWRP
> type "adb push rom.zip"
it might take sometime may be less than 5min to sideload or push the rom..dont cancel the command prompt after typing the above commands

How to wipe internal storage and install rom via ADB sideload using TWRP

Recently i wanted to a full wipe including internal storage on my nexus 5 and since nexus 5 does not have external storage i found it a bit tricky to flash a rom again...
so,here im going to explain the easiest and simplest way to install a rom via adb sideload on nexus 5 using TWRP after a complete wipe
I am not responsible for bricked devices.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about adb sideload
BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST
1.Download the file and place it on desktop View attachment Nexus5.zip
2.boot your device into recovery, wipe everything and connect it to pc and make sure drivers are installed. if not do as follows:
open device manager in control panel and if drivers are already installed, it shows something like ANDROID ADB INTERFACE,
if not,it shows some name with yellow symbol..
right click on it and select update drivers and select browse my computer and select let me pick..
click next > have disk>browse> and select the usb_drivers in downloaded file> open > open > ok
now it shows as ANDROID ADB INTERFACE..
3.In TWRP, select advanced and choose sideload option.
4.open command prompt and change the directory to where you downloaded the file ( easy if on desktop )
to open command prompt: win+r>cmd
for changing directory: cd desktop > cd nexus5
5.Now type adb devices in command prompt and it should show list of devices with your device code name and mode as sideload mode.
if not install drivers again.
6.copy your ROM zip file to the folder 'Nexus5' which you downloaded.
7.type adb sideload romzipname
8.now it starts copying and wait till it shows 100%. after copying it automatically starts installing.
when the installing is finished,it shows reboot system. reboot and njoy :highfive:
Note: If stuck while flashing rom, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery and repeat the same procedure.
Please hit the 'thanks' if this helped you.

Did you copy the rom file to Nexus5 folder?

Why not use WugFresh's tool.... that thing does everything.

We try to discourage the use of toolkits as they remove the "ability" element or the "learning" aspect.
Doing things manually teaches the skills to get out of trouble later on.

Help
So, I have/had a N5 on stock 4.4.4 rom, rooted & Xposed installed with TWRP & a lollipop preview on MultiRom.
Was installing the new Lollipop .zip. In an act of hurried stupidity, I wiped my phone, including the internal storage.
Which for some reason also wiped my NANDROID backup. I thought that is not supposed to be wiped even when doing an internal storage wipe, BUT it did.
Now, all i have is TWRP on my phone with no rom installed.
I tried connecting my phone to the pc to see if i can just transfer the rom file onto the internal memory, but nothing shows up when i connect my phone to PC.
after some searching, I ended up in this thread.
The problem is, when i connect my phone to the PC, the phone doesn't show up in the device manager.
So i cannot install the drivers & android SDK itself.
So, How do i Install a rom onto it?
I have a PC & a MAC, so i can use either of the machines. But i don't have much technical knowledge about stuff, I did all the above modifications with the help of tutorials & guids. so ELI5 please.
Please help!
Thank you.

[Guide] How to recover Soft-Brick from OTA & custom recovery

I know this one has been answered a few times in pieces, and somewhat understandable manner. However, I wanted to decrypt this for everyone to be able to understand how to do it and to overcome this particular issue.
Issue: You have a custom recovery installed and your LG G2 prompts you to install the new OTA (i.e. KitKat update). You then accidentally/unknowing of consequences accept the update. Your phone restarts and keeps going to the custom recovery which you had installed, instead of booting to the update. You endlessly try to boot to your phone, but it just keeps going back to your custom recovery.
Things to do ahead:
1. Have LG G2 drivers installed on computer you will be using. You can get those from the LG website easily by searching LG G2.
2. Obtain ADB and fastboot files from HERE
3. Obtain working TWRP vs 2.7.0 from HERE if you don't have the TWRP recovery installed (i.e. if you're using CWM or Philz recovery).
Recovery Procedure:
1. If you have TWRP recovery installed, proceed from step 9
2. If you have CWM or Philz recovery installed, follow these next steps.
3. When inside CWM/Philz recovery, click on option to install zip.
4. Have your phone connected to a computer which has the LG G2 drivers installed, found on LG's site. Make sure to install drivers without phone connected to computer first. After installing, restart computer, and then plug phone to computer USB port.
5. Now that you have the phone plugged to comp, and that the comp has recognized your phone, open up CMD and navigate to the folder where you have your ADB file located and workable TWRP recovery zip file.
6. Once there, click on install using sideload on your phone's custom recovery which should be located inside the install zip option.
7. Then type in CMD on computer this: ADB sideload TWRP-file-name.zip
Note. Replace TWRP-file-name.zip with whatever the TWRP zip file on your computer is named to the letter.
8. Your phone will install TWRP recovery at this point. Once it finishes, restart your phone by rebooting recovery (should be an option somewhere there in the main level of the recovery)
9. TWRP should boot now. Once inside TWRP, click on Advance
10. Then click on Terminal Command
11. Next click on Select
Note: Do not navigate to any other folder. Just click on Select. You'll know what I mean once your in Terminal Command.
11. Type this command in the space provided in your phone (NOT in CMD) which should be now in Terminal Command mode exactly to the last letter. I'm not kidding; don't miss a character or replace a number. You risk nuking your phone. Double check your typing.
Type this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Note: You should note that there is a space between dd and if=/dev, and another space between /zero and of=/dev
12. Once the command finishes running, about 30 seconds or less, restart phone. And voila. Your phone should boot back to your pre-selecting update with OTA mode.
In my case, I wiped everything and tried restoring one of my nandroids. That did not help me boot my phone. However, when I did the above mentioned steps, my phone booted to my backed up state which I installed prior.
Hopefully you don't end up being a victim of this. But if you are, now you can confidently bring yourself back :good:
Good luck and share your progress. Thanks!
Cheers,

I repeated this three times, and no luck... any suggestions?

I did it a tad differently. I am running Windows 7.
First I downloaded these universal drivers so my phone was recognized under Device Manager, went to my adb directory with command prompt and typed the following:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
I just preferred using the keyboard, but your directions will work, too.

secure booting error
got the OTA update ...after that boots to Logo with a "secure booting error" message then a black screen, can't go to download mode, phone is recognized as QHSUSB in device manager, factory recovery doesn't work.

Tell me.

Sorry.
It was a desperate act.
And i thought this was the right area!
Sorry.

@VGCC you can restore your phone as follow:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
Install Drivers
Go into TWRP
Go into Advanced - Sideload
Rename the zip (example: cm-13.0-gemini-UNOFFICIAL.zip) to a.zip
Copy it onto your Desktop
While pressing shift key -> left click -> open command windows here
type "adb devices" without quotes
you should see adb device and some numbers
then type adb sideload a.zip
wait, and you are ready to go

You can use twrp to put it into adb mode and install the rom that way. Use Google for instructions
