I'm interested in doing a full format - I know I can do that with CWM or TWRP, but how do I do a recover - how do I push an OS back onto a completely blank Nexus 7?
Download the factory images package then extract into the ADB folder. Typing "flash-all.bat" will flash all stock images including the boot, recovery, system and data to return the device to stock.
Or move your desired ROM to your ADB folder, enable sideload then typing "adb sideload rom.zip" will install it.
I am usually too lazy to move one item a time so I prefer copying an entire folder by typing "adb push c:/users/account/desktop/recoveryinstall /sdcard/download" then I can flash up to 10 zips at once.
Be sure to have the latest Android Composite ADB Interface Driver and Naked Driver 0.72 to use ADB in recovery installed.

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.
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.

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.

accidently wiped internal memory in lenovo p1m
i accidently wiped internal memory using twrp. so now can i flash a custom rom for my lenovo p1m
[Update]: Now it says no OS installed in TWRP. I think I have wiped the os by mistake. Just need to know how to install cm13 image using fastboot or ADB. Please help!
I wasn't aware if SuperSU works with CM13 and I installed the app, on request to update the binaries, I selected TWRP/CWM method because the normal mode didn't work. After the reboot the phone won't load into os, its stuck on the CM boot screen. I don't have a CM image on my sd therefore unable to flash again either. Is there a way to push files (cm img) to my phone? I have adb/adb over network enabled as well from developer options. I just need a way to put files into my sd card and flash using TWRP. Please help! this is urgent! :crying:
[SOLVED][HOW TO]
This is in a situation where you've messed up your system and don't have the image file stored in your sd card for quick flashing. Make sure you're using the latest USB drivers and ADB binaries 1.0.32+
- Get into TWRP
- Swipe to ADB Sideload and enable it
- On your desktop, open command and type "Adb sideload filename.zip" [Filename here is the filename of your flashable zip/rom]
- Once you the installation finishes, reboot twrp normally into system

MTP shows as enabled - But the device doesn't show up in my pc. I'm connected through USB in TWRP recovery. I have android debugging also enabled, when trying adb push command, it shows adb devices attached as empty.
[Update]: I am trying to push the file using ADB Sideload in TWRP, the error I get is my adb needs to be updated to 1.0.32. How do i get updated adb 1.0.32?
[Update 2]: So I managed to update by ADB on desktop, and push the zip file using adb sideload in twrp. The zip is being installed as I write this. Lets hope this works!
[Update 3]: Got the rom to install via ADB sideload, though all my apps and settings are gone Anyway, I got the phone back for immediate use. Phew!

Hello,

I have installed TWRP using fastboot mode.
After install, i have made a factory reset and wipe data, cache and Dalvic/ART
Happens that after this I select install to install the new rom, but the Zip file has dissapear. So now i don't have OS and I can't access to mobile memory to paste de ROM Zip file.
@VGCC no offence intende but.. why post it here on "Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development" when there is a section called "Xiaomi Mi5 Questions & Answers"?
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:
Download the flashable zip of Miui7/8/CM13
Download adb/fastboot driver
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
I can't see the device when I connect it to my laptop. ADB can't see it. I can't mount an OTG cable.
I've got a custom ROM downloaded (CM) but I don't know how to get it on to the phone to be able to install it?
Start adb sideload within TWRP
The on your pc open a command prompt / terminal and type - adb sideload rom.zip (rom.zip being the rom you downloaded)
