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...

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.

Should be good to go
If it freezes in Aroma just force reboot and try again.

With adb sideload it does not matter it will work as long as you can use adb commands
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

So, step by step:
-Boot phone into TWRP
-Select Advanced, then ADB Sideload, swipe to start it
-Connect USB to Mac
-Launch command prompt on Mac
-"adb devices" should detect the phone.
-"adb sideload slimbean.zip" should flash the zip

[Q] No OS - Please help - TWRP - 4.2.2 - Rooted

Hey everyone,
So about 1 hour ago I attempted to install a kernel onto my rooted HTC One through Team Win Recovery Project. I got onto the kernel and loaded it
Once I was finished i went to reboot my phone and it shows the HTC splash screen and does nothing. I waited but with no response.
I got back onto the recovery screen to find out i no longer had an OS.
My computer (Windows 7 64-bit) cannot detect my HTC One. I have a couple of save backups i had done through TWRP available on my computer, but not on my One.
I have attempted to boot into the HTC screen (Power + Volume down) and tried a factory reset,but it just sent my back to the TWRP.
How can i reload my OS? Im not very experienced with android so step by step instructions would be just great.
Thank you very much

Also, i forgot to mention. I was running the stock ROM.

Since you can still access recovery..
1. Find a guide on how to 'adb push' or 'adb sideload' a ROM to your phone.
2. I'd recommend a ROM that doesn't require AROMA installer, it makes it a little easier. For now, CM 10.1 will be fine.
3. Once you can access your phone again, put your backups onto your phone from your computer.
4. Restore your backup in recovery.
Or you could just buy a USB-OTG cable and put the backup on a USB and restore in it TWRP.

Or, instead of redbull's approach, you can boot the phone into recovery, then (after reading about how to install and run ADB), use "adb push" to push the recovery files to the phone:
Code:
adb push /path/to/TWRP /data/media/0/TWRP
If that directory doesn't exist, you can probably push to /data/media/TWRP instead. After this, you should see your backups in TWRP and can recover them.

I have tried both methods now.
For redbull's approach, as i try to put my phone into ADB Sideload mode through TWRP, TWRP simply says Starting ADB Sideload Feature... but does nothing. I have left it for a little while to no avail.
I have noticed when i put in the command "adb devices" it shows my device as a "host" and i checked on another thread and i believe it should show up as "device". Any ideas?
Worst case scenario i will have to wait a few more days for my OTG Cable to arrive from eBay and then hope that it works from there.

Once you start the sideload, that's when you command 'adb sideload name_of_rom.zip'. Make sure the rom zip is in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files. Or 'adb sideload ' then drag your zip into the cmd window.
Also, if you're using a usb 3.0 port - they have been known to cause problems.

YAY
Thanks. Finally got my phone running on CyanogenMod, and I was able to get in a factory reset to remove all the data etc from the old rom.
Just a final question though XD
On TWRP I go to the restore option but I don't find anything there. I have put the backup folder in /data/media/0/TWRP but it doesn't appear in the restore option. Any idea of where i should put the files?
Thanks

/data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/
There will be another folder inside the above with a random string of alpha numeric characters. The backups are inside there.
If you perform a backup, you will see its location. Then you can place any others in there also.

Good to hear.. As nobnut says - do a backup then see where it saves it to, then just put your backup in there, then restore :good:

[Q] Device Brick!!! HELP!

I think I bricked my phone.... :'(
I was running Android Rev 61.1 and then my screen started to flash and then it would reboot. It kept doing it and so then I decided to try to wipe my phone and install Android Rev 6.1 GE and then it would get to the "pick a language screen" and then after 2 or so seconds it would shut the screen down and if I press the lock button then it would reboot.
I went to format my storage and then (like a complete IDIOT) I formatted the whole thing causing me to lose all my ROMs on the internal storage.
Now I can't put any ROMs on it cause the only place that I can access without it rebooting is the TWRP recovery.
I'm soooo stupid....
idk the ROM was really messed up..
Any way to load a ROM onto my phone (like CM) while I'm in recovery?
I am trying the Android Revolution method.
I have the mini-sdk downloaded and put on my c:\ drive. I download the HTC Sync Manager to get the drivers and after that I run the cmd.exe in the mini-sdk folder. When I type in adb shell it puts out the line ~ # ←[6n
What do I do then?

Bump.... Please help?

Adb push or adb sideload is your friend. Plenty of guides on such things

Happened to me two weeks ago, and like you I panicked best thing to do is go into TWRP, and in advanced settings turn ADB sideload. Now open the latest fastboot in cmd (you need the newest, else it wont work). and type "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/" (without the " ofcourse)
rom.zip is the rom name and should be in the fastboot folder.
adb will sideload a filename called sideload.zip to the root of your phone.. You can install this like any regular rom

Yes this is what you have to do

[Q] HTC One - Custom Recovery not mounting storage

Hi,
I've looked everywhere for a solution but couldn't find one that helped. I was trying to flash a mod via TWRP custom recovery (followed all the instructions, wiped dalvik cache etc) but when rebooting, |the phone got stuck on the HTC One logo. I can access the custom recovery but when trying to mount storage, computer -running Windows 8- doesn't seem to do anything. Also made the mistake of not making a nandroid backup beforehand, so just need to be able to flash a ROM. Tried to adb push the file, but it gives me the error 'device not found'.

Delete... Sorry, I did misread it.

A lot of people have issues with getting drivers to work on Windows 8. Probably easier if you know someone who has Windows 7 and install the drivers on that

Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Maybe you could try this one here, solved this problem for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
You can check if adb can find your phone with "adb devices". If there is none, you have to check your drivers again.
I then used adb sideload in TWRP. Start it when connected and type "adb sideload update.zip" (or whatever your zip is called). He will load the file to your root /data directory. You can install the zip from there then.

Thanks
Thanks for the answers! I'll try using another computer that's not running Windows 8 - I have a feeling its a problem with the drivers.

Same problem here, when i type fastboot devices the serial appeared but i cant push files like the stock odex rom, cant, i found out i cant access my internal memory, is there a solution for that?
Thanks!!

Fastboot and adb are different. You can only adb push from in a Rom or in recovery
