[q] twrp usb-otg to flash custom rom? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody; I did try to search if a similar thread had been posted and wasn't successful; so I'll try to explain my situation concisely. First time I rooted my HTC One I got a boot lop; but right before this I had done a factory reset using TWRP, and I think that means USB-debugging is off; I tried unrooting with an RUU file but couldn't find my specific one and tried others and they didn't work. So basically, I have access to the boot loader and TWRP, but I CAN'T use ADB commands since usb debugging is off; the device isn't detected and I've updated all my drivers and it detected the phone just fine when USB debugging was off (So drivers aren't the issue here)
So my question is this; can I save the CUSTOMROM.zip file to a USB flash drive, and then use a USB OTG and TWRP to flash it from there? If so, how? Otherwise I really see no choice but to sell the device as "semi-bricked" (?). Thanks in advance, any other piece of advice is greatly appreciated. Please Help!

Usb debugging only enable adb connection when phone is booted in the OS. You can still use ADB from custom recovery even if USB debugging is OFF.

Not sure what you are saying here. If your drivers are correctly installed, then your phone, when booted in twrp, should be detected as ADB interface in windows devices manager. So you can use adb to push or sideload a rom to your phone and then install it using twrp.

Yes this is also a good option. make sure your usb drive is formatted to fat32, copy your rom.zip on it, connect it to the phone using a otg cable,. boot in twrp, select ''install'', click on ''storage: Internal Storage (X MB)'' then select ''USB OTG (X MB)'' and finally select the rom.zip
Otherwise I really see no choice but to sell the device as "semi-bricked" (?)

Oh god. I didn't know TWRP would allow me to use dab despite USB debugging being off. Thank you SO MUCH. I just flashed a custom ROM and everything's working just fine. :good:

Use USB-OTG and flash a ROM using that.
If u can get to the bootloader try flashing a new recovery. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Looks like your system partition is empty, so you'll have to install a whole rom ,an OTA won't help an empty system

Okay, do you have any rom(eg. ARHD).zip on your phone? If you do, flash that via twrp, and you're done
If you don't, copy a rom to a USB flash drive and connect it to your phone with an OTG Cable, and flash it via twrp
If you don't have an OTG cable, try this to sideload a rom to your internal sd card http://teamw.in/ADBSideload

Boot your phone into bootloader-fastboot
Connect it to your pc so it shows fastboot-usb
then open cmd in the folder containing adb.exe (press shift+right click>open command prompt window here) and type fastboot getvar all

When your phone is in fastboot, type
fastboot devices
Does it list your phone?
If it doesn't, try changing USB ports/cord, and also try uninstalling and then fresh installing new drivers after restarting your pc, then connecting your phone.

It's definitely NOT bricked. I'll keep an eye on this thread, you're getting great help but if you don't end up getting it fixed send me a PM, I sometimes forget about a thread I need to check back in on. It's for sure fixable and there's great advice in here.

ok so fastboot is working, as suggested before post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n).
If sideload isn't working you can use "adb push", but first thing is to reflash custom recovery just in case it's corrupted.
so download CWM or TWRP (from the threads in xda), then
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY
then
adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/ (this will take anywhere between 5 to 15minutes and not show progress, eventually it should come back with "success")
then
install zip in recovery, and choose the <name of rom>.zip and install it.

urgent help required : crushed incredible

hi everyone,
i am having a really bad day.
I had incredible s stock 4.0.4 installed, unlocked, s-on, hboot 2.002
I've tried to download the latest 4.4.2 rom i found in the forum, the device showed the update is completed, then the device restarted and froze on HTC screen.
I've tried to install other roms and it didn't work as well, moreover, the device can not be detected by pc without a reason.
I've cleared all caches by the way.. any one can help !

Since you are telling device is not detected in PC,
I can safely assume that you are not flashing boot.img through fastboot from PC.
If you are S-ON, you need to flash boot.img file of ROM you want to install through fastboot command...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
google it for more info.
And connect your phone, go to fastboot mode and check with command
fastboot devices
your device should be listed in fastboot mode
and if still not detecting by PC, then must be driver issue and it should have nothing to do with phone.

I just reread his post. Then reread yours. And I realized that the other guy's post doesn't really make much sense. I don't know if he is saying if his computer's USB port is broken. If so then use another one. Then I could also read it as His phone's USB port is broken, and in that case, he really is out of luck.

Hey, lt's lot of guess work here and we need to hear from actual victim...
but let me put my basis..
from 1st post, I can assume that he doesn't know of fact that he need to flash boot image through fastboot.
Hence, I believe that he may even doesn't know what if fastboot.
And without any ROM installed, device can only be detected in fastboot.
So, I strongly believe, he need to try to detect device in fastboot mode and very less chances USB is broken.
Now lets wait to hear from OP guy.
in htc sunsation 4ext recovery there is a way to flash boot.img
try it :
1- go to 4ext recovery
2- select Tools
3- the last one is ( enable smart flash)>> click it once then flash ROM
I don't know if our 4ext recovery support this feature or not
yep. because this is development and all that.

Can you reboot into recovery again and enter to fastboot mode?
Can go between fast boot and the Bootloader menu but if I hit reboot, it just comes back to Bootloader. If I pick recovery it just flashes for a second and comes back to Bootloader. I am S-off btw.

ok so the guide walks me up to the point of installing fastboot for unbuntu using a couple cmd lines but for my specific situation will I need any files saved in specific locations? I have never used Ubuntu or Linux before so youll have to bear with me.
Ok so im in Ubuntu, I think I have the guide pretty much figured out, but It still doesnt want to detect my device. I installed ADB according to the guide, but "sudo fastboot devices" comes up blank and the phone only says "fastboot" not "fastboot usb"
entering the command to flash CWM gives me the same waiting for device message. I have tried multiple USB cables as well.

the phone has to say FASTBOOT USB, otherwise it's a problem with the port (phone/PC/cable).
ubuntu doesn't have driver issues, but when you connect your phone to the PC, it has to change from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB.

It doesnt change, so then its likely something with the system partition as it relates to the USB port? Because the port was working fine until the failed flash. But what it sounds like is this is a brick?

doesn't sound like a brick at all, as long a hboot (ie bootloader is fine) no brick should be involved.
but i have to call it a night, hopefully someone will be along shortly, and take over... (timezones ) take it ease, DO NOT PANIC, DO NOT RUSH things!!
Cool, all your help is greatly appreciated. So I should hold off on the trip to the phone store?
Any other ideas to get communication to the phone?
Different Computer, USB Port, and USB Cable. Without saying FASTBOOT USB on the phone, can't do anything.

Just download the ROM, whatever your carrier based ROM is, from here, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Then open ADB and follow the instructions here, Method 1 is recommended, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515.
If you have drivers installed on your PC, which I suppose you have, then as soon as you go into bootloader mode, your device will appear on ADB.
That's it.

Without Philz recovery OTG is not available. I assume you have no system to boot? You wiped memory after you wiped data & before you flashed. RSD & XML restore time.
Does your twrp have USB mount? I think not.

Damn, sorry, edited the post. Your phone is not recognised when it's in recovery, which is TWRP, but it might be (should be actually) recognised when you enter bootloader mode (vol down+power), that is if you have the drivers installed.

Oh! okay, let me try that.
Are you sure I should reboot into bootloader? When I choose that in TWRP it says, "There's no OS, are you sure you want to reboot?"
Right, same results.
Philz cwm recovery could have saved you. It has OTG & USB mount. You could have mounted internal memory from recovery to your PC/Mac then DL a ROM to your now empty internal SD then unmount & flash ROM.
Get it?

Ignore that. In any case you should always be able to enter bootloader mode. It doesn't require an OS, at least that's what I think.
You can just hold on to vol down and power for eight seconds from TWRP manually, that should enter bootloader mode anyway.

There's a flashable recovery zip HERE. Flash that in TWRP, then reboot to recovery. Then hopefully your PC will recognize it so you can copy a rom over. That's all I can think of ATM.

Thanks for attempting to help me. The only problem with this is, how do I get the file to my TWRP if I can't transfer any files from my computer to my phone?

Just asking, you are opening ADB and then can't see the device right? I mean I am sure you know that you won't see the device just from OS, Windows, Mac whatever you use.
I mean you are typing this right?
Code:
adb fastboot devices

I wasn't doing it that way. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I need to reinstall my adb cause it's not working right. I'm just a noob who doesn't know how all this **** works. Damn, makes me feel so stupid.

Now that I think of it, I've had ADB issues and fastboot still worked. Have you gone to the bootloader screen while connected to the PC and done this to see?
Code:
fastboot devices
What I mean is I had no devices recognized when I did
Code:
adb devices
but I did have it recognized by
Code:
fastboot devices

HTC One Mini 2: Wiped System, sdcard, external sdcard

Hi there,
I had installed TWRP on my HTC One mini 2, but accidentally "wiped" system, sdcard and external sdcard. I'm now trying to enter Recovery but the procedure isn't working anymore (before wiping I could enter Recovery mode manually by following the procedure). When I connect my phone to my computer, I get an error message ""This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Before wiping the device, it was detected and I could use ADB and FASTBOOT. I've search a lot on internet but can't solve this issue.
I hope someone can help me so that I can enter recovery and install another ROM.
Thanks

All you need HERE
you need HTC drivers
flash recovery again.
enter TWRP and make backup.
replace backup with the one in the URL
in TWRP use restore option
DONE
Hi Kativiti,
Thanks for your reply. I have already downloaded those files and tried the USB drivers on two different laptops and different USB ports, but the drivers aren't installed. Without the drivers I can't execute the adb commands.
Do you have any other other suggestions?
Thanks.

need a bit more info to try help better.
are you able to enter HBOOT then FASTBOOT?
Is the device recognized in laptop? "fasboot devices"
When you try to enter recovery what happens? error? black? anything?
are you using original HTC cable?
I can't enter either hboot or recovery. When I follow the procedure, the phone just reboots and nothing else is happening. When it reboots, I can see the HTC logo.
I have tried to install the drivers on four different laptops but the phone isn't being recognized and thus can't use any adb or fastboot commands. I'm using the original usb cables I got with this phone.
Please advice.

you should be able to enter HBOOT. if you doing it right and still cannot enter them you'll need to send phone to HTC.
Ok. I was able to enter HBoot before I formated/wiped the system and sdcard location. Can you confirm that I should be able to enter HBoot even after formating/wiping the whole phone?
Thanks.
