So I was trying to wipe fresh Kinology and the device got stuck in a recovery bootloop. Not such a big problem" i thought to myself,
"I'll just wipe everything" and so I did. Except one little detail. I ****ed up and wiped EVERYTHING, including the SD card and *that thing that boots the OS*.
Now, it wasn't such a big problem either, I could just boot into recovery, mount the SD card, transfer the files to the kinlde, buuuut there was one little problem. Once I connected the kindle to PC, a USB device was detected, but no storage was shown up. I got to the recovery terminal and it said
E: unable to locate volume information for usb storage mode

Okay, once again, no such a big deal, I can boot into fastboot, reflash stock and live happily ever after. I go into fastboot mode (note that the kindle is indeed connected AND DETECTED by PC and I have drivers installed). And guess what? Fastboot won't detect the kindle! (screenshot related)
Now I have a kindle with no OS installed, which can't mount storage and can't connect to fastboot. What should I do?
tldr: wiped everything, no os, can't mount in twrp, can't connect to fastboot, wat do?

I had to swap cables for my fastboot to show up;boot into fastboot then go back to stock cable. I also had to use specific commands like "fastboot -i 0x1949" then the command. Hope this helps any.

I've tried the SRT tool today and if I press "Check fastboot status" it just stays the same as on the screenshot 1.
And if I choose the second option, it just stays like that (screenshot 2) without any movement.

You're gonna need a fast boot cable. You can make one if you know how to solder. Or buy one from skorpn. http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=500006
Okay, for anyone interested: I've solved my problem (partially). I used ADB Sideload from TWRP and sideloaded CM10, but sideloading kinology didn't work for me and resulted in a bootloop.
You need to flash the stock Amazon OS, wipe everything EXCEPT INTERNAL STORAGE first then flash the stock os, then kinology.

If adb sideload isn't working reliably, you can just use "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/" to copy files manually to your Kindle. This will work for whatever zips you want, be it gapps, CM10.1, kinology, stock, etc.
Hello guys,
So i unlocked the bootloader, used TWRP recovery, made a nandroid back up, saved a copy of back up on my pc and then flash the Trickdroid rom. Every thing went smoothly till then, as the proximity sensor wasnt working, i installed the xposed framework then went into recovery and flashed the zip file for it. After the reboot, the phone hung on HTC one boot screen, i used the Vol down + power button but the phone is just not switching on in recovery or anything. Connected to my PC, gave adb reboot recovery but it says "device not found". Did the vol+power thing in light as well but didnt help.
What should i do? Please help.

Finally managed to get the piece of rock alive, connected it to PC and used fastboot reboot and then phone came alive. Wonder what went wrong that the phone got stuck at the boot screen.

I now know the mistake i did, i flashed trick droid on my one and i was coming from stock 4.1.2. Developer had mentioned that for those coming from 4.1.2, we need to first wipe, install rom, do 1 boot cycle and then wipe again, i missed the last part hence got stuck at the boot screen.
I tried adb but it didnt work, so i used fastboot reboot command and the phone came alive, after which went to recovery and restored my nandroid. What happened to your device?
Boot into bootloader by turning off device and keeping volume down pressed, and then connect your device to your pc so you see "fastboot usb" in red, and then type "fastboot erase cache" followed by "fastboot reboot"

I made a really amateur mistake. Installed a normal xposed version instead of the custom for One. Now I'm stuck on the boot screen. I can load bootloader and recovery. Tried using ur method and still stuck. Also cannot read internal memory and can't push xposed disabler.. All with no nandroid backup. Any helpful tips?

If you dont have any nandroid backups then im afraid theres really nothing you can do besides factory reset..go into the bootloader and try reseting the phone, see if that works.
The reason your computer doesnt read your phone is normally a drivers issues. Heres what you can do to get your computer to notice your phone.
download the file from here and extract the whole FOLDER to your desktop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996051
1. boot into recovery
2. connect your phone to the computer
3. go to device manager, just search for it
4. In other devices, there should be something called android phone, open it, and choose update drivers
5. instead of letting the computer search for the drivers, choose the second option to choose your own
6. choose the folder, the whole folder, and your driver, and click install
Now your phone should be recognized by your computer, check by using adb devices in command. If it works, go from there, try pushing xposed disabler, or push a nandroid to your device and restore.

you should download it and use erase cache option then reinstall recovery and see if that helps but i think you will probably end up having to format sd. if you have htc sync it might be able to get some of the stuff from sd before you format

Had this same exact problem, AIO helped me , i had installed TWRP and the AIO opened recovery, then chose recovery and then tried side loading, while doing i then sideloaded the ARHD and voila am back to normal.
The problem and my question is , i flashed with bulletproof kernel and then that created all the problem. now somehow it has booted and i still have bulletproof kernel. Am scared to reboot (am a noob all over again since i bought wp) , if i flash it with a stock kernel deodexed or odexed will that create a problem? I have ARHD10.2 Stock ROM. Please advice.
I updated my phone to Nexus to 5.1 last night and it got stuck in the boot animation but I figured it would be done when I woke up. Much to my dismay that was not the case so I tried to factory reset and now I get this message that says "No OS found." Tried to plug it up to the computer but it won't connect. I think it may have something to do with the OEM Lock but I cant fix that without the phone turning on. Please help!

From bootloader, enter the following fastboot commands:

This may sound silly but I'm not 100% sure. A system notification had been on my screen for over two weeks saying that I had a system update to 5.1 and I finally decided to download and install said update and then it sent me to recovery mode. I don't know why I did but I hit fix permissions.. Just fiddling trying to figure everything out and this is where we are.

move a rom via a computer to your phone. either connect the recovery to your computer and move it, or connect to a computer and adb push it to your phone.
Sorry, I guess I misread your post. I thought you said can't get to recovery. From TWRP you should be able to enable MTP transfer. Then your PC should see it and you can transfer files as @simms22 suggested.

From TWRP, perhaps you wiped the System partition? Heh, I did that just last night... woops... "round 2"!
As a side note, if you're trying to use adb/fastboot from Windows... I had nothing but problems myself, even with the proper drivers. At worst, I had to open the Device Manager, find the phone, and force-install ("update") the driver to Android->Composite USB Device before it would be recognized. Absurd, but pains of working from Windows. (Conversely, I've had pain-free experiences from OSX and Ubuntu.)

I got into problems yesterday. I've encrypted my device some months ago and it was working fine.
Last night I don't what happend but it switched off itself and once i tried to start it, I saw bootsreen, then lock screen and after inserting pin, nothing happens, I only see black screen with some light in the background.
Now Issue it, I have soo many important files on my device, is there any way to copy that data? Because i'm not able to access it via usb since my device is not able to reboot itself properly after lockscreen..
I will appreciate any help, and will give reward once i'll get my data back.
Thank you.
Ps: I'm using 5.0.2 (XT1068)
Pss: I tried to wipe cache but it didn't helped.

Flashing TWRP will require bootloader unlock which wipes your data.
You can boot in twrp without install
Fastboot boot twrp-2.xxxx.img
Then you can use adb to pull files.

Long story short I just picked up my Nexus 6 and was trying a few ROMs. Having come from a OnePlus that was stolen I wanted a similar feel. I tried a few, Bliss, Cyanogen and then finally decided after some more research that Pure Nexus was going to be my choice. I have using the Nexus Root Tool kit since I have little knowledge of adb other than what I read if needed. Pure Nexus loaded with the pure-nexus gapps that were suggested seemed to not load properly, I was either getting stuck booting up, a bootloop or when i tried loading it without the gapps it just booted to a blank screen. So I read a littel more and was under the impression I need a clean slate. I think I cleaned it too good. After wiping system, cache and dalvik cache I may have formatted by mistake.
So here I sit with a new phone that with not work. I feel there has to be an easy answer. I tried pushing the ROM to the sdcard with adb push using THIS METHOD HERE but I keep getting 'device closed'.
I feel if I can just get the file on the device I can flash it. I have also tried the 'Flash Stock Unroot' in Nexus tool kit.
HELP!

I'm assuming you have twrp installed? If you do, you can just plug your device in to your pc and you should be able copy files to the phones storage, and then flash them. Or you can goto Advanced, ADB Sideload and "adb sideload purenexus.zip"
you dont need adb to push anything to your phone. you can transfer any rom, gapps, and supersu just using twrp recovery.

The only time I know of sideload showing "error: closed" is when recovery isn't in "sideload mode". Using Windows? Do you see any errors in Device Manager?
Edit: Maybe when you put twrp in "sideload mode", you're waiting too long to send the sideload command before it times out? Maybe get the command ready before you enable sideload in twrp?

In twrp, do "adb usb" and see if your storage shows up on the pc, if it doesn't, enable sideload and do "adb usb" and the "adb sideload purenexus.zip" again
Quick update. I was using an out dated version of adb. I updated, side loaded the ROM and it booting up now.
