I was changing rom according to instructions and accidentally I have deleted my rom.zip. Now I'm stuck in recovery with nothing to flash and no idea how to push rom.zip to phone memory. I have otg cable. Can anyone come up with a solution or direction to relevant topic ?

Easiest thing would be to put your ROM.zip on your usb and plug it into your phone before entering recovery. I'm not sure if Cwm classic supports otg but Cwm touch and twrp do

Apologies, I've just tried it myself in CWM Touch 6.0.3.1...
Go to Bootloader screen and plug in your cable
enter recovery
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from external sdcard
Works for me...
Sometimes if it doesn't mount I go to 'backup and restore' -> restore from external sdcard -> Go Back -> Go Back -> try it flashing from 'install zip from sdcard' again. (Although I have a nandroid backup on my usb so that may not work for you)

yeah...
put your rom.zip in your mini-sdk folder
put your phone to the bootloader screen -> select fastboot -> it should now say 'fastboot usb'
hold shift and right-click on your mini-sdk folder -> Open Command Window Here
command: fastboot devices
if your device shows, enter recovery
command: adb devices
if your device shows,
adb push name_of_your_rom.zip /sdcard be sure to put a space before /sdcard. be sure the 'name_of_your_rom' is named exactly the same as your rom.zip
After a while your rom should be on your sdcard, just flash it as normal.

Just did as you said. The tricky part is with opening command line in the specified folder, I would never have guess that you have to hold shift.
Now waiting for the file being moved to sdcard, after push command the _ is blinking as the file is being send right. File is sent XXX bytes in 222.sec
I tried to instal from the sdcard the recovery reboots itself when I press instal from sdcard

ok, can you select install zip from sideload or does it crash?
if you can, select it and command in cmd (from your mini-sdk folder)
adb sideload name_of_your_rom.zip
once its finished sideloading it should begin install on your phone automatically
If you can't do that, try re-flashing your recovery and try everything again.
fastboot flash recovery name_of_your_recovery.img
(in 'fastboot usb') (name_of_your_recovery.img should be in mini-sdk folder)

Just hold down volume down + power button until it reboots. You may have to do it under a bright light. Keep holding them until your fastboot/hboot screen appears.
Try re-flashing your recovery as I said above and try again - if that doesn't work then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas
What ROM are you trying to install??

I have a UK Vodafone HTC One. It's running the Trickdrpid Rom with TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery. Everything was working fine until I flashed tbaldens kernel to enable lock2wake function. Everything went ok with flashing (I think!) but upon reboot, nothing. Just flashing back and home keys when I press the power button. I can get into recovery but have no rom on my internal SD to reflash. The PC gives the USB spund when i boot into recovery, but the phone storage doesnt show up on PC. Is there any way to get another Rom on the storage to reflash, or is it bricked? Please help.
There is an option in TWRP to sideload with adb. Try pushing a new Rom with the ADB Push romname.zip
Then you should be able to locate it and flash it

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a tutorial on ADB anywhere? I've not had experience using it before.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
You will need to install Android SDK if you don't already have it installed.
If you are using windows open Command prompt and Change in to the android-sdk/platform-tools folder.
In here you can run the ADB devices command to see if your device is showing up as connected.
If so copy the rom in the the platform-tools folder to make it easier.
so lets say your rom is called rom.zip the command to push would be
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/ (OR WHAT EVER LOCATION YOU WANT)
If all goes well you should be select zip from storage in TWRP and flash it.
Hope this helps

Ok. I've managed to upload the Rom via sideload. But now I can't find it anywhere on the SD card?
Coincidentally i'm having the same issue when installing the same exact kernal (lock2wake) last night.
It soft bricked after it was flashed using the AndroidRevolution rom
No USB access despite popups and there are no roms installed on my SD.
I can access the bootloader and recovery (Clockwork) but thats about it.
I'll follow the instructions Gaz posted above and see where it takes me.
There should be an option to install from side load in your recovery.
If you can't find it I would recommend flashing CWM for the flash. You can do it via the fastboot method or the HTC one AIO toolkit. The toolkit option is the easiest.
Then when you are in CWM select install zip. There should be an option in there to install from ADB sideload.
Here you push the the Rom zip via the adb sideload Rom.zip and then it should install. Let me know how you guys get on
If you need anymore help feel free to PM me and I'll try to explain it more if needed

1. I (soft) bricked my phone flashing TeamSeven Sense "Home2Wake" kernel

2. My phone currently had the android revolution 12.0 rom installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
3. To unbrick my phone and get access to the bootloader/recovery, i perform the following step

4. Once i had access to the bootloader, i navigated to recovery (CWM-Touch) but couldn't reflash my rom since i no longer had the zip file on my internal SD.
5. So I followed Gaz instructions posted above by installing the Android SDK files from http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
6. After I installed the SDK on my Bootcamp Windows 7 Home (on a Macbook), I copied my rom to the platform-tools folder and renamed it something shorter.
7. Then I opened command prompt and used it to pushed the rom file to the root of the internal sd (followed gaz instructions above)
8. Once completed, I re-opened recovery and reflashed. Fixed.
I just want my PC to recognize my phone.. Once that happens, i think I'll be in good business... The list of devices attached is none...
Disclaimer: If you are not comfortable with using Fastboot and ADB and editing system files than this guide might not be for you. At this point this is what I have to offer.
Click here for the unofficial twrp image - Latest version as of 12/27/14
So getting right into it.
1. Turn on ADB mode on the watch by going to about and tapping the build info 7 times.
2. Download ADB and Fastboot utilties
3. Plug the watch into the computer and your phone should vibrate and ask you to accept the computers fingerprint, tick the check box to always allow and hit ok
4. Open up a command prompt or terminal inside of where the ADB utilities are located and enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This next step will wipe your data!
5. Now you should be in fastboot, go ahead and on the terminal use the next code and follow prompts to unlock
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
6. Now after you re-set up your watch again you will need to do step 1 and 3 again.
Please do not skip step 6!
7. Go ahead and issue
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Flash unofficial twrp, make sure the recovery image file is in the same location as fastboot than issue
Code:
fastboot flash recovery YOURIMGNAMEHERE.img
9. Upon successfully doing that you should have twrp installed
10. Lots in one step here, download the latest supersu.zip flashable file and put it in the same folder as ADB use the proper name of what you downloaded. Issue
Code:
adb push SUPERSUNAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/
11. Issue
Code:
adb reboot recovery
12. than using the very tiny TWRP and somewhat messed up go ahead and use it to install the supersu.zip under the folder /sdcard
13. Enjoy root and twrp.
I will make this guide into a much easier Java program in the very near future to make it easier to use.
This was typed up pretty fast and it is kinda hacky, I will work on a bat script and a shell script if we have enough osx users here. I'm sure someone will come along and make this better if I don't get around to it.

Q: ADB complains there is no device listed.
A: Install universal ADB drivers and then go to device manager and under the device with a yellow warning icon go to update driver, Browse my computer, let me pick from list of device drivers, than Google ADB interface. If it still complains turn off debugging, than turn it back on, revoke authorization, then disable and re-enable again.
One more just in case.
Great work!!
Just got the watch today and couldn't be happier. Custom kernel, TWRP and root (well sort of) all within 6 hours of having this watch.
I say root (sort of) because SU is force closing when running su in adb shell. First time it crashed adb on PC and had to reboot watch. Now it just force closes on my watch and adb exits on PC. What is the most current version of SuperSU? I have 1.94 from Chainfire's site.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Do you or your team have a paypal?

The latest supersu is version 2.36 dated 11.27.2014. 1.94 is well over a year old, you need to update for sure that is why you are force closing.
I figured that's what it was. Feeel real dumb for not finding the newest version the first time. Also most current is now 2.37 XD
Edit: That got it! Thanks tonu!

Disregard I did it again and for some reason it worked. Maybe I need to reboot first.
Recovery
I went through your command and everything worked until I ran:
fastboot flash recovery UNOFFICIAL-openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-lenok.img
Now the device just boots into the recovery and not into the system. The system/data partitions keep saying:
E:Unable to mount /data
E:Unable to mount /system
I am very comfortable with fastboot and adb so I do not know what I did wrong here.
Any ideas?

The dump is extracted from the system.img, you won't be able to flash it in any way. None of this guide touches system files besides the root stuff which shouldn't affect boot. Try flashing the stock recovery.img instead.

HYPE for 5.0.1
'm Hype! can't wait to flash the first 5.0.1 system dump on this as stated by +Darek Ross we MAY be receiving update as early as today!
I did this yesterday, and run into the same problem - TWRP spitting out errors when flashing
It was caused by NOT rebooting after unlocking bootloader, but proceeding with the flash rightaway - this apparently leaves the watch in an empty state (no /sdcard or /system contents) and it needs to boot up at least once before you flash anything
So the correct procedure is like this
1) enable development options
2) enable usb debugging
3) adb reboot-bootloader
4) fastboot oem unlock
5) let the watch boot normally, pair with your phone, enable development options and usb debugging again
6) adb reboot-bootloader
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot reboot
9) adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/
10) adb reboot recovery
11) flash supersu.zip
Apparently, there is a problem when the original kernel is not present after "fastboot oem unlock" - the watch will be left empty, while on the original kernel it "reinstalls"
I typed this from memory, but I think you should know how these things work anyway, as there's not much for a "normal" user to do anyway... yet...

My guide is setup like the one you put there. In order to get adb working again you need to re setup the watch step 6. Read the instructions carefully. I'll post a batch script later to simplify this.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
Step 6 doesn't really say "you need to do this, OR ELSE", it seems like you just rehash the factory reset thing
And you should put step 10 before step 6, it can't really be done in that order...
but again, I guess the people trying this should now how it works, so no biggie, but since a few of us got hit by that "no initial boot" issue, it would be better to put a note in there

By default debugging is disabled, I'm not sure how you were able to issue an ADB command on step 7 with out first performing step 6.
Aaah, sorry, should have been "after step 6"
another option is to do adb push with recovery loaded
I guess that's why I got that error before, because I combined 5+8 and flashed the recovery, but TWRP was unable to revive the watch from factory reset state (which makes me think it should not be on the watch unless needed...)

Ah I see, yea the guide is written as the absolute minimum to work right now. Like I said later today I'll try to post a script that automates all of this, its much easier.
Ok so I screwed up.
I'm not a developer but i'm familiar with most of the basics. So my m7 was rooted with android revolution 81.0. I was having unrelated problems with calls and also some other small things like a lock screen delay. I decided I was gonna do a system wipe (which I've done plenty of times before with no problems) but this time I forgot to put the OS on the sd card before the wipe. As of now my phone turns on but stays on the HTC screen unless I force it into bootloader and I can also get into TWRP still. I also noticed I wiped the sd card as well by accident so everything is gone. I tried loading the OS via USB OTG but when i go to mount OTG in TWRP I can't select "USB-OTG".I can only select "system" "cache" and "data" I also tried mounting the phone via the computer but it doesn't show up but it does come up on device manager with a yellow exclamation sign next to it. I've heard you can do something with the ADB Sideload but I have no idea how to do that so if that's the answer please explain in detail.
If someone can get it to where I can mount the OTG then I can handle it from there.
Just some details:
S-on
TWRP version 2.6.3.2
I think i've wiped everyting there is to wipe trying to fix this, (
I've been without a phone for a week now and I'm desperate for any kind of fix. I'd greatly appreciate if someone could steer me in the right direction.

Ok so I screwed up.
I'm not a developer but i'm familiar with most of the basics. So my m7 was rooted with android revolution 81.0. I was having unrelated problems with calls and also some other small things like a lock screen delay. I decided I was gonna do a system wipe (which I've done plenty of times before with no problems) but this time I forgot to put the OS on the sd card before the wipe.

first thing is first, you need to sort out your driver, so when you see "one " with the yellow exclamation mark in your device manager, right click on it and select update driver, select the 2nd option, browse for driver software, again select the 2nd option which is something like let me choose the driver, it may give you a list after that of the type of device connected, select android devices, then select your latest myHTC driver from the list, it will give you some warning about it may not be the correct driver, are you sure you want to install, select yes.
Next, do you know how to use adb and fastboot ?

I know it involves the command terminal but no, I've never used it before.

Sorry I had to leave for work, what you need is adb and fastboot files, so download this link and extract it to your desktop https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407580571
Then download either twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 from the twrp recovery web site, when it's downloaded, rename it to recovery.img for ease and place it in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
You will then need to open a command Windows within that folder by holding control, shift and right mouse click on any white area within that folder, select open command window here.
Make sure your phone is plugged into the computer, and in the bootloader with fastboot usb showing on the screen.
At this point your drivers must be working as per my other post, then issue the following commands one at a time.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now enter recovery, your usb otg cable should work now for flashing a Rom, be sure to do a full wipe before flashing, your current recovery sounds too old to me for usb otg support.

If your still having problems with usb otg cable at this point, take the Rom which you want to flash and again place it in the same folder on your desktop as adb and fastboot, rename it to Rom.zip for ease, put your phone into recovery and then plug it into the computer, with recovery main screen showing on the phone, once again open a command window on your computer from within the adb and fastboot folder and issue the following command
adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/
Takes about 5 mins and will look unresponsive but it will let you know when it's done, unplug your phone when done, wipe and install.

What the guy above me said was right, the problem I think with your phone is drivers I'll upload a link to adv drivers in my next post, basically using recovery (twrp recommend) wipe /data, /cache & /system. Then go to adb sideload which is in the recovery (it should say something like adb server started). Then using adb devices command check if your computer sees your device if not you gotta install drivers for your computer. In device manager on your computer your device should be something like ADB interface if not drivers are not correctly installed. Right click update drivers I'll link it in ma next post

Use this guide. Saved me one time
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ro/2013/12/how-to-copy-rom-zip.html?m=1
Was running CM12 nightlies that auto encrypted, so went to format data to remove encryption but keyboard in twrp wasnt accepting any characters so hence i wasnt able to decrypt, so i bootloader->fastboot erase userdata...now im back in twrp phone still encrypted (i know the password so im ok) but now theres obviously no rom on the phone how do i push a rom & kernel to my phone adb sideload seems to be hanging on "starting adb sideload feature" and when im in bootloader mode adb doesnt find my device
Fastboot erase userdata doesn't remove the ROM.
Adb isn't designed to work in bootloader. Use of in recovery. You can use adb to push files to /sdcard
See my thread here if you need help

Plug the phone in to your computer and go to mount and enable mtp. Then go to your computer and copy and paste the rom zip as well as other zips (gapps kernel etc) onto your phone.

Kinda had that issue I just used OTG with the ROM on it that solved my problem
or you can adb push files to your phone, via adb while you are in your recovery. but from what i understand/have heard, cm kernel does not allow decryption.

adb is not being read for some reason in recovery, adb sideload is failing to start (never worked for me )

no they just don't give you an option to not encrypt with they're kernel, so you must flash another kernel after every nightly etc.

What does adb devices say when booted in recovery?
