Flash w/out sdcard?

May have been asked before, but I tried searching and didnt find much luck.
I think my SDCard slot finally gave up, it just will not be read (tried two different 8gb cards that both worked fine on the computer). On Cyan 4.2.9.1.
Anyway, is there a way to flash the phone without the sdcard? I was trying to think how that would be possible, but I think its not right?
Just looking for a quick def. answer so I can know if i need to go phone hunting . Or do something different , which would be much better.
Appreciate it .
Happy holidays btw

You should be able to using ADB, not sure the command lines for that. As well, you might want to try getting a can-o-air and blowing out the SD card slot on your phone.
Lastly, this is the wrong section, should of been posted in Q&A.

I didnt really think of adb, yeah that might work. Maybe someone knows them?
Maybe
adb shell recovery flash location/zip ?
Tried the canned air, didnt change. Good thinking though.
And lastly, I did debate which place, but I was thinking I saw a utility here or I am looking for the command lines and thought maybe alittle more technical than a general question? It will fall shortly anyway (hopefully after the commands ) or get moved/deleted.

If someone nandroided, they could just send you their system.img and you could fastboot it onto the phone. Provided you have the engineering/danger SPL.

Thats a pain, and I dont think there are many of those out there...
No adb commands? Ive been searching but it seems scarce
EDIT:
Ok I tried my idea anyway,
adb shell recovery flash update.zip
And it just hangs (no errors though)...probably missing something?

Are you able to warranty your phone for the bad SDCard Reader??
If so, I started this thread and came up with an answer, but it will bring you back to fully stock cupcake

Search for a webpage , how to root/flash/hack g1. It's has everything you need.
You need to go into fastboot
Fastboot update update.zip. somthing like that or do like the website shows 1 at a time.
There might be an adb for it, but I've never used it. Fastboot only option I believe.

That is the better answer, thanks for continuing. If you just left that first sentence I would have said re-read my problem, I cannot use my sdcard (the normal way rom is flashed).
As for the fastboot, I will look into that. I appreciate it, thanks.

Im getting
No android-info.txt
No android-product.txt
In the package when i try to do this command while in fastboot:
fastboot update update.zip
I found android-info in the update file from htc, but I cannot resign right now. Im also guessing it will still yell about the android-product.txt anyway, so any ideas where to get that file?

If all you're trying to do is flash a .img (system.img, userdata.img, recovery.img) and you have a developer, or hardspl, you can flash using fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
flashing an update.zip is only possible through recovery mode, but can still be accomplished using the /cache partition
Code:
adb push update.zip /cache
and you should be able to do the update from cache.

Using you're SPL, is it still possible to place an update.zip into /cache with the partition table having been re-written??''
I'm assuming yes, since you jumped in and posted that method, I was just curious

Well you're cache partition should have 30720K (about 30MB)
the last cyanogen rom was 37 MB =[
my other recommendation for you is to push the updates to your sdcard through your phone. (just re-read your post and noticed the SD card is functional in your phone)
Code:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
then just proceed as usual.

@theslam08
Your signature say's your using the "Danger SPL" Judging by that you could reflash your spl from fastboot to the hard spl
Code:
fastboot flash hboot spl.bin
Then use the method described above by Haykuro pushing updates to /cache with adb

Thanks for the responses guys .
As for pushing to sdcard while in phone, thats where the problem remains. The sd reader IN the phone is busted it would seem as it just says no sd card found (cannot mount) with 3 different cards I tried (all working on the computer).
Ok so if I flash back the spl will I have more than 40mb free on the cache partition? Because yeh, the most recent update from CM is ~40mb, so it wont fit currently.
ANd once pushed to /cache, how would I go about doing the actual update? You said "you should be able to do the update from the cache part.), not sure how, just give the location?
console: flash update /cache/update.zip ?
Thank you.

i forgot the exact command to force a boot-recovery and have it flash through cache (the traditional method)
but if your on cyanogen's recovery you can do
Code:
adb shell mount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /sdcard
this should mount cache into /sdcard, allowing you to flash.

Excellent, that seemed to be the trick (after going back to HSPL because yeah, I didnt have enough room with haykuro's). Though some bugs with that.
I got it to copy once after making that partition mount, and I was able to see the update file. I updated, and everything went well (even though I wondered how in the middle of the update it says formatting cache, yet it still worked).
Now, I went to put on a theme file and it says out of room. I hit 'update from sdcard' in recovery and it says E: No zip files found or something like that, just no files. So if it gets 'wiped' how is there no space? Is there a manual format I should do?
And I dont think this has happened to anyone yet, so thanks for going through this , im sure others down the road will find it helpful.

Not to get off-topic or picky about anything, but having the phone without an SD card being able to be read seems kind of pointless.
After all, you won't be able to run A2SD, or move the cache. The phone's going to run as if it was "stock."

Not being blunt but, thats the point. I have 'no' other choice right now, I cannot get a new phone for a while (and warranty is over, its a yr and 3 months since pur)
I obviously know I cannot use A2SD, so I need to get it to run 'stock', and thats proving to be a trick (stock but not). I almost have it, but cache doesnt seem to wipe on its own, which is the new problem. Once that is cleared, then I should be all set .

Ah, okay - now it makes sense. I didn't understand the purpose at first.

Did i brick it already?

Like an idiot i flash a mod for a de-odexed ROM to my stock ROM UK Three M7. So stuck at the boot screen.
The problem is i cant seem to do anything about it. I have no back up (I know !!!), no ROM file on the device to flash and i cant seem to push anything to it.
ADB just says no device found even though it was working ok. Can anyone help? Ive tried it on multiple PCs.

AW: Did i brick it already?
Go to recovery Mount your memory to pc. Copy a Rom. After that flash Boot img via fastboot and then Rom from recovery.

Yeah it wont mount, nothing happens.
I cant push anything if it wont mount obviously, i could try doing it from external sd via OTG cable.. but i dont have one.

Did you tried with ruu?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

As understand it if you have an S-ON device(i do) you have to use the right onee or it will fail.Its Three branded unit,so i need a three RUU. There isnt one out there.

RUUs only work if adb can see detect it
Have you tried going through fastboot? Just fastboot some boot.img to get it to boot, then put a ROM on your sdcard

It sees it now. I can get into recovery (CWM) and fastboot, but i have nothing to flash on the phone, i cant get anything onto the phone to flash! I try ADB sideload, it gets to100% but it says..
E: Can't open /tmp/update.zip
(bad)
I tried pushing to the SD card but the recovery then doesn't see the ZIP, its just not there.
/sdcard wont mount in CWM, nothing happens.
I tried a boot.img from the Maximus thread.

Ok its now accepted the sideload! Ive installed the ROM and its rebooted...
Its back!!!!!!

If you could get into recovery, theres a toggle / enable mass storage mode too? You couldve done that to mount your sdcard

I think it won't work

Yeah there is no toggle in CWM and the stock recovery I reflashed was only a test build, and didnt actually do anything.
Well its now working again fine. I dont really know why it worked, but it did. It was suggested i try the Aroma file manager first, which sideloaded OK and let me browse the file system. I then re-downloaded the ROM I was trying to use (Maximus) and tried that. It worked with no errors, although the Aroma installer crashed the first time through, which I understand isnt unusual on the One.
Seems i didnt need to access the SDcard at all, it was just a problem with sideloading. It may have been a corrupt ROM download.
Needless to say i now have a CWM backup, Titanium backup and a ROM file on the SDcard just in case.

You cant mount USB storage in recovery on the HTC One, you can only use ADB Sideload to send the ROM if your stuck in a bootloop or if youve erased the system partition:
I have uploaded the latest binaries to my dev host account.
1. Download and extract these to a directory and copy the rom over into the same directory.
2. Boot up your phone into twrp recovery or a recovery that supports ADB Sideload.
3. Select advanced and adbsideload (Your phone will be waiting for the file transfer.)
4. Open command prompt in the above directory you created with the binaries and rom.
5. Issue command "adb devices" (You should get the serial number with sideload next to it)
6. Finally issue command "adb sideload rom.zip" (rom.zip will be the name of your rom)
This will start sending your rom to the handset and will automatically install.
Hope the above helps

That's what I was doing, it simply wasn't working. It might have been a corrupt ROM download.

Could very well be. Happens more often than you would think
But the mass storage thing is strange....I've seen it on almost all recoveries, but i know TWRP no longer has it in their newer builds, maybe the same thing happened with CWM?

[Q] [TWRP]Bootloops, can't mount to Windows to put new ROM or saved backup onto phone

My current situation is as follows:
ROM on it is bad and bootloops
Storage was wiped for a pure clean install
TWRP 2.5.0 doesn't seem to have any method to mount while in Recovery
As a result, I cannot boot it up to add the good files and I cannot mount it in Recovery to add the good files
I am at work and as such cannot use ADB.
If I can get it to mount, I can copy over the known good backups or just a known good ROM I can flash. There just doesn't seem to be any way to get it to mount in Windows 7 or 8. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your only option now is to run the Stock ruu and return to stock. Theres plenty of threads on this forum that describe the procedure. You should never wipe the storage just for this reason. its much easier and less time consuming to flash a nandroid backup than having to revert back to stock via the ruu. Good luck and I hope everything works out

should be /mnt/sdcard0/twrp/backups
but you wiped storage. Can you boot into fastboot? if so you can run the fastboot command
fastboot flash nameofrom.zip
you'll have to place the rom zip in the same directory as fastboot but fastboot should interrogate the zip file and flash the correct partitions

I can get there. The issue is the one zip I have on hand doesn't seem to like being pushed that way. Rather than sit through a gig download I was just going to push a backup of stock I have on hand into the proper folder. At the very least I'd attempt it while downloading a stock+root rom.

ok the correct path according to my phone's file system is /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS
if those files don't exsist you can create them from adb shell
mk dir sdcard
cd sdcard
mk dir TWRP
cd TWRP
mk dir BACKUPS
exit out of adb shell by issuing the command exit
the
adb push nameofbackup.win /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS

No worries, I'm versed enough commandline wise to know what you were getting at. Unfortunately it seems that random number path for the device chunk has changed since I did my backup(probably because of my wiping and being an overall idiot). The stock+root zip of a rom finished downloading though, so I'm flashing that now. Hopefully that ends this ordeal.
(Edit) Success getting it to be usable again. Now to start from scratch. (/edit)

Hey rogue.... went through this same problem about four days ago, almost blew my brains out because I thought I would have to smash my phone and return it through the best buy protection plan. Anyways... the ONLY way to fix your problem is to use the Sprint HTC One RUU. Boot your phone into fastboot usb mode and run the RUU. Takes about 10-15 minutes, and will have you COMPLETELY back to stock. From there, you need to start from scratch unlocking and installing the recovery. ViperRom is the only rom that won't bug out your sprint phone atm. Also be sure you relocked your phone before you run the RUU. I'm super busy atm and can't go find the RUU links, but google it and i'm sure you can find it. If not, i'll get you the links later if you pm me. Peace bro and good luck.

I know another person suggested this earlier, but failed to mention that sideloading once you're caught in this loop won't work. Run the RUU, unlock, and flash ViperRom.

Boot TWRP, then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your HTC One to your computer.
Considering you have adb.exe (Windows, part of fastboot.zip) or on Linux:
cd Downloads\ROM.zip
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
Replace ROM.zip with the ROM filename you copied earlier to Downloads (or any other) folder, then install the ROM.
It should be nearly same running CWM recovery. Hope that helps.

Rooted HTC one, no os, don't know how to push rom
I accidently wiped my os while putting a new rom on. I am INCREDIBLY inexperienced with this and really had no business fooling around with it. Regardless, I have the HTC One rooted with TWRP but cant get the new rom on to the phone. I'm on a mac and android file transfer is not recognizing my phone. Any help anyone could give would be great.

Try putting the rom on a usb stick and using an otg cable then mount it under twrp and flash from there?

It is fat32 I can see all of the files with root explorer when the phone is booted. I initially had the zip in a folder on the drive than I moved it to the root of the drive. in twrp it still shows the drive just no files.

weird try formating the drive and try again ,, and maybe try another flash drive

bricked, stuck in recovery

Hi there!
I have a TX1085, it is already unlocked and rooted and has the CM Recovery installed. But before the CM Recovery I had the TWRP Recovery installed and tried to use it to flash CM12, which I had put on the SD-Card. It kept on telling me that mounting the system failed. Unfortunately I wiped everything via TWRP Recovery without creating a backup. Then I installed the CM Recovery to try again. Now, if I try to flash via CM Recovery (apply update) it doesn't show anything in my internal storage and I can't connect via adb using Ubuntu (Terminal tells me either "device not found" or "device offline".)
Any suggestions?

I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm still learning all this, but in your case, from what I've learnend so far I'd maybe try the "fastboot boot recoveryfile.img" command, loading TWRP or CMrecovery into the ram of the phone and start flashing from there?! (just an idea)

Thanks for your suggestion! Unfortunately I don't know how to get access to my phone again via computer, which is - I think - because I deleted the system on it. Or how else could I get into the ram? This is my first time to flash a phone, so I really need some guidance.

Go to bootloader first the use the commands fastboot boot recovery.img
Try using twrp, everybody is working with it now.

I tried, but the Terminal gives me that:"cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory". I'm in fastboot, is that correct? Is there another way?
Right now I can't (or don't know how to) switch back to TWRP, but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for your help!

did you installed android sdk and adb drivers? if yes try to open cmd in sdk directory

Look for adb in 15 seconds and install it, go to directory where fastboot is located.
Download twrp image and rename it or something and copy recovery.img to fastboot directory.
If there is no recovery.img in that directory it will fail.
After you copy and rename recovery.img then you will be able to do what I told you.
If you are new at modding, you have to take it easy and ask everything before doing it.

I am using Linux without Android SDK, but I have working fastboot and adb installed.

I managed to get TWRP working again. I have the .zip-File in my Internal Storage, but can not mount System. How can I do this?
Edit: Wiping data seems to be working but I get the output "E:Unable to mount '/system'". When I try to install the ROM it fails to mount an unmount /system and gets stuck at "Patching system image unconditionally..."

Next time, please ask everything you need before doing something.
I have been modding my phones since the Motorola L7 and I always ask for everything on a new device before start modding.
That way I never bricked my phones.

This post seems to be aiming for Windows users, but I am using Linux. Could I still use it? If yes, how?

That is why I asked you how to get CM installed with TWRP. I had the mounting problem at the very beginning already. How can I get CM installed now?

The commands I wrote before, use the same steps but instead use the cm recovery.
I hope you understand!

In the newer versions of TWRP the first screen should show a Mount button. In that screen you should be able to mount any of the partitions.

If I use the "fastboot boot CM_recovery.img" command the phone installs it and then starts into TWRP. Except for that nothing changes. How can I continue?

If I try to make a tick (as to mount) system the phone vibrates but doesn't tick system, so I can't mount it this way.
