[Q] Deleted System Folder; No OS Installed Error. (With Screenshots)

Hey guys,
I am in a bit of trouble here ..
So last night , I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my HTC One .. Also , I installed TWRP on my phone .. Everything went fine , so I tried to install a few MODs .. The phone wouldn't start so I booted to recovery and tried to factory reset , but by mistake I deleted the system folder. So now, whenever I try to boot up , it says no OS installed and gets stuck on HTC screen.
I read all night on how to solve this, in the process, I also installed ADB on my computer, and finally got it running too.
I found these two guides while searching the internet and I tried them both but to no avail:
http://androidforums.com/international-tegra-3-one-x-all-things-root/549962-usb-mount-recovery.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038366&page=5
Only when I boot up to recovery, the computer recognizes my phone and adb lists it.
ADB Sideload through TWRP doesn't work , says *cannot read sideload*.
Also, when I try to execute the command "adb shell" with sideload , it says "error: closed".
If I just put my phone in recovery, then it says phone found in recovery but then I can't mount my internal storage.
I have attached the screenshots to everything. Any suggestions , other than taking it to HTC as my warranty is now void?
Any help would be appreciated. Just need to push the ROM to my internal storage.
nevermind , i found the solution here :

Need more info. Format type of internal SD? Drivers? OS? Etc...
Thank you for your reply. Are the above links given to give me a hand (stupid question certainly)?
Well, I am going to try to repair my tablet with a new SD card. But I need help right from the start.
Living in France, I suppose the right firmware must start with WW. I have downloaded all these firwares from Asus:
UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.27-user.zip, UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.29-user.zip, UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip, WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip, WW_epaduser_10_14_1_47_UpdateLauncher.zip, WW_epaduser_V11_4_1_17_updatelauncher.zip.
Which one should I use? What am I going to do next?
When I start it in flashboot mode, I get the message "Android Macallan-user BL released by "WW_epad_11.4.1.30-20150121"
Press ...

Well you should use the latest one which is UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip
I'm not sure what you are attempting to do? Are you saying that your internal data is not working or just not recognised by windows. If the later you probably just need to update your drivers on windows.
Have a search for the latest compatible windows ones for Asus.
my tablet is stuck in boot process. I did something wrong when deleting built-in apps, so I have to make a recovery.
I made some progress in the meantime. Connected the tablet to the PC, put the CWM boot.img in the fastboot folder, put Asus UL-K00C-WW-11.1.4.30 firmware on the SD card, started fatboot.exe and got the menu on the tablet (reboot system now - install zip - wipe data partition - ...), started install.zip.
Now I get the message "This package is for KOOC; this is a tf701t. Error in storage/USBdisk1h/ul-KOOC-11.4.1.30-user.zip.Installation aborted
external SD card recovery to stock

This procedure did not work. However I have installed CyanogenMod with the Cyanogen recovery on the tablet and finally coud boot. Now I would like to go back to the Asus settings. How can I do this? The Asus UL-K00C-WW-11.1.4.30 firmware, as I said before, is followed by the message "This package is for K00C; this is a tf701t.", but the tablet appears as K00c in My Computer. Different names, same device!

Did you rename the stock firmware zip file to T4_SDUPDATE.zip and put the zip firmware file on the root of the EXTERNAL SD card and power on or restart your device. it should detect a firmware update. if it does not detect any firmware update after about 1 or 2 minutes or it boots normally, go into bootloader and select RCK from the menu with zip file on the external sd card.
it sounds like you were trying to install the stock firmware zip file through the custom recovery install zip option which will not work. TF701T is KOOC... also, make sure 100% that your Tablet is the WW version and not the TW or US version!

The zip firmware file was on the root of the EXTERNAL SD card. I did go into bootloader and select RCK from the menu, then install zip file --choose zip from /storage /USB disk1h -- T4_SDUPDATE.zip.
I am going to try the other versions of the firmware.

okay, since you have a custom recovery the zip file is not detected. CM and CWM recovery are not the same. you should be able to find an installable stock file somewhere or try another rom. As long as you have a working recovery installed then you should be good to go for any updates.
This is your best bet for near stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/development/rom-t2999102

Since I can use the tablet with CyanogenMod now, I am satisfied. The links you gave me above helped me a lot.
Thank you. I could not have made it without your help. Warm handshake.

Did I brick my phone?

Background: I have the XT1064 (unlocked, single sim), and I actually just bought this phone. I ordered it because I have a droid Turbo that I don't want to risk custom ROMs on, so I figured this $100 device would be good to play with. I first unlocked the bootloader, courtesy of motorola, and then I flashed custom recovery (TWRP). A bit of tinkering later and I discover I can't get the recovery to stick. "oh well, I can plug in my phone and type a command on boot no problem." Next, I tried flashing the latest release of CM12.1 for my phone (titan) and I get an error. I search around trying to fix the error, and everyone says "use the latest nightly (CM13)" and "factory reset your phone via twrp" so that's what I do. Next, after waiting for my phone to start up, I get everything rolling so I can copy my new image over.
Problem: I find that access is denied to "sdcard/download" so I try other folders in sdcard. None are allowed for adb.
Attempted solutions: On my phone, I install ES file explorer, which reveals that everything in sdcard/ is gone except the Android folder, and an extensionless file called TWRP. Still not suspecting anything, I attempt to create a "download" folder. No luck, access still restricted. I tried downloading a file via the internet browser, "failed to find downloads directory". Everything in sdcard is barred from me. Besides the SuperSU that's half-installed (part of twrp apparently) this is a factory new device, I purchased it from best buy via ebay. Is my phone toast already? Or is there something I can do?

Since you can boot it, it's not bricked, if ur on cm 13 , ur external memory card is formatted as internal storage (the reason why you cant access it via twrp) , go to settings >storage and USB > select ur memory card >click on options (top right corner) >format as portable storage. Now you can access ur sd card via twrp. And check ur twrp version, 8.6.0 , and command Used to flash it via Pc "fastboot flash recovery filename.img (remove img from original file) . Hope this helps, and about Cm12, what was the error you were getting?

Root gone bad, please help

I was following this video to root my K3 Note (India) which was running Marshmallow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWbSaJcONwM
I followed the video as a step by step guide as I'm a novice at all this stuff.
There was no mention in the original post or the video of where to put SuperSU so I put it in my memory card and selected that. Now all I get its the Lenovo logo, the starting one and after that phone screen goes blank.
In short, its not loading the OS.
Before doing this, last week only I updated the the OS to Marshmallow via OTA update.
All I wanted to do was to get proper read-write access to SD card for my apps like PowerAmp and ES Explorer, as I had in Lollipop.
I did try to reset the phone by erasing user data through CWM-Recovery mode thing but to no avail. In recovery mode, selected Unroot phone and rebooted the device. Now it gets stuck on White colored Lenovo screen, an update in Marshmallow, with a small progress bar with Initializing written underneath.
Please guide me on how to get back up and running, even if unrooted.
Meanwhile...
This is what I did recently. Downloaded the Marshmallow firmware, K50a40_S121_150813_ROW_TO_K50a40_S322_160314_ROW_WC9C36CE4A
Renamed it as update.zip and copied it to an SD Card and then booted manually into recovery and tried that "install zip-> update from sdcard" option and selected the zip file. As soon as it started, it aborted saying the device is K50-T50 Installation Aborted 7
Even upon removing the battery, its clearly written the device model is K50a40.
Dunno WTF is going on.

Motorola XT1068 + TWRP 3.0.2.0 - Warning "No OS Installed" + could be found from adb

Motorola XT1068 + TWRP 3.0.2.0 - Warning "No OS Installed" + could be found from adb
Hi,
I want to sell my rooted motorola moto g2 XT1068. I tried delete it and do a factory reset so clicked at twrp to "Wide > Advanced Wipe" and choose all partitions (I think this was a failure) and after that on "Swipe to Factory Reset".
But when I reboot I get the message "No OS Installed!"
I tried to install adb. But it doesn't find any device on my pc. I also installed the motorola driver, but windows can't the my mobile.
What can I do now? I have downloaded the firmware from firmware.center, but how can I install it?
I would be really grateful for your help!
Imagine you restarted your PC to old DOS, formatted it and then tried to start Windows normally - how could you, since you erased everything?
On computers, you would need a CD with the system installing package.
For mobile phones, you need to copy the stock ROM or other custom ROMs for Titan AND proper Gapps on a SD card, insert it in your Moto, enter TWRP recovery and install the two zip files from the external storage card.
If your first run is successful, do not enter your data when asked by the Google wizard and never erase your phone again if you don't have a replacement system prepared.
I loaded the following-Zip Files on my MicroSD Card:
-open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20170825.zip
-crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170814-titan-v3.7.zip
But when I put the SD-Card into my motorla and go to recovery ond open the sd-card it shows me and empty MicroSD Card (30420MB) but the MicroSD-Card has a size of 28.7GB (free) and 0.98GB (full).
So what can I do now?
Is this the correct custom file?
How could I install it now?
Should I mound the MicroSD-Card?
The open_gapps are wrong. On their page, check the Android 7.1 box, then MINI and THEN hit the red download button. Move the card into a working phone (or computer), delete the gapps for Android 6, add the new ones, for 7.1 Nougat, then place the micro card back into the target phone.
In TWRP, go to Install -» Select Storage [or browse "Up A Level" to] sdcard1 -» [the folder where you placed the zips or] select crDroid...zip FIRST -» Flash it, then repeat to flash the open_gapps...zip, then REBOOT.
It'll take a few minutes - from 5 to 10 or even more, so have patience.
Thank you for your answer!
I have downloaded the new open_gapps zip file as you said. And replaced the old version on my sd card. Then I put the micro sd card in my motorola as you said. But I couldn't find it over TWRP. I also tried to mounted the micro sd card, but it doesn't help.
Then I tried to restart with the MicroSD-Card, but now I can't reach the TWRP again
Here is the screenshot https://ibb.co/ekCGBk and I tried the different items, but everytime I see the page "warning bootloader unlocked"
Yes, this is how it should look.
Press Volume Key DOWN, you'll reach RECOVERY, then press Volume Key UP to select Recovery.
Recovery = TWRP.
Once in TWRP, hit Install and browse for your zip files to install them.
Also when I go to "Recovery" only the white
"Warning Bootloader Unlocked"-Page is opening
Well, that's not good. Probably all that unnecessary mounting screwed up things.
Take a look at this video.
Then download latest Moto USB drivers.
Then learn about the ADB and Fastboot tool.
Then maybe try to flash the latest TWRP for Titan and restore everything already to how it should be.
I can't reach the phone with fastboot and I can't delete the bootloader warning. But suddenly I could installed the two image filles! Now the new firmware is working.
Is there a possibility to get the original one from motorola?
I also tried to put the "FixBootloaderWarning-Moto-G-2014.zip" on my sd-card to install it over TWRP, but I can't open it (I can only get a black screen when I choose "Recovery")-
