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

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.
I'm worried.
I went to install a new rom, so formatted my sd card first, without realising it I've wiped my backups and also the rom I was going to flash. I can still get into twrp but I have no idea how to get a rom across to my handset.
ive tried fastboot update but i just get "waiting for device"
Someone please help

Triy adb sideload, links for how to http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...v4l4QSOgEwWvPXvTXm_X0Kw&bvm=bv.48705608,d.ZWU.
1. Connect your phone make sure it's actually connected and you have the drivers.
If you don't have the drivers check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983470
2. Rename the ROM you want to flash to something basic, I used Find5.zip
3. Open CMD (command prompt), navigate it to the folder you placed the ROM
(e.g. code: cd C:\Users\Jelle\Downloads\ will navigate to my Downloads folder)
4. Boot to recovery on your phone and enable the ADB sideload function.
5. in CMD type adb sideload Find5.zip
6. Let TWRP or CWM flash the zip and prompt for reboot.
7. Reboot and be happy, your phone is fixed!

I flashed a new recovery twrp 2.6.3.3 to flash android revolution rom... I am new to this recovery so I made an error of deleting formatting the internal storage and in turn the android rev zip I wanted to flash.. so now im stuck in recovery with no rom to flash..and no backup to flash or restore.
I can access fastboot and I tried doing fastboot flash zip rom.zip said remote not allowed:failed...
this twrp wont mount the phone on my pc so I can drop the zip on the phone and flash it.
removable storage shows on my pc but it says please insert removable storage when I click it
I also went to mount on twrp and put the x throu system cache and data.. and tried without the x.. usb-otg is non selectable..but I don't even know what that is.. either way I still cant get access on my computer to drop the zip..
so is there any quick way I can get a darn zip transferred to my phone so I can flash it throu twrp.?
any help would be great
thanks

I think you just need an OTG cable... download and copy ROM of your choice, copy it to a USB drive, then mount the USB drive to your phone using OTG cable (available in most electronics stores for something like $2)
Once the USB is mounted, go into recovery, click install, and at the top there should be a menu that lets you choose between internal sdcard and OTG. Click OTG, and you'll be able to choose the ROM to install on the USB drive.
There's a way to "push" the files to your phone when it's hooked up through USB cable to the PC, but that's a bit more complicated. You can google or search on the forums (how to push files to HTC ONE)
Ya I googled..pushed zip over fastboot as I heard adb won't work..or is that wrong? just dont know if i did it right.. fastboot flash zip yourrom.zip..I'll give that other option a try but I guess I need a USB drive..and a cord.

No, that's not right for flashing a custom ROM. That would be for flashing a ROM from HTC. They're both distributed as .zip, but are different formats. @SaHiLzZ got the right answer, but I'll explain it a little further:
- Install/configure ADB (you probably already did this if you can run fastboot).
- Boot the phone to recovery
- I would run two commands just for a little added safety:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/media
adb shell mkdir /data/media/0
Then the key command:
Code:
adb push name-of-ROM.zip /data/media/0/
Make sure the ROM is in the present shell directory on your computer, or type the full path to the ROM. The transfer takes a few minutes. The procedure is identical on Linux/OSX/Windows.
Now the ROM is on your phone, and you can install in TWRP.
Easiest way is 2 buy a USB OTG cable and put the ROM in the USB storage

Wonderful!
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!
