can not flash rom via sideload or anything else HELP! - Moto X Q&A

hi, i have erased the stock rom via fastboot.
then i have flashed cyanogen mod recovery.
now i want to install the new cyanogenmod rom via sideload but i got an error "protocol fault <no status>"
adb devices is showing correct connection information at all.
i want to copy the rom.zip to the internal space of the phone so that i can install the rom via recovery but there is neither a mount option in the recovery nor in the bootloader.
its a MOTO G first generation

Download this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
in recovery, choose install zip from sideload
in the toolkit, choose adb sideload a rom
choose rom
flash & reboot, good luck, took me 3 trys until fixed sdcard issues
You can push the ROM zip to your 'sdcard' using adb (adb push xxxx.zip /sdcard/xxxx.zip).
If you need more information, either look here, or just search the internets.
Don't panic. There's no such thing as a brick (if the screen turns on or computer recognises the phone).

Don't worry if it is booting to recovery it is not bricked, bricked is when it does nothing.
Can you boot to bootloader? If so you can fastboot flash an RUU (if you fail all other attempts to flash a rom with recovery)
You need the proper HTC drivers for ADB to recognize the device. Download and install HTC Sync Manager and also Android SDK Manager to get the platform-tools folder required to use ADB. Google both of them.

[Q] stuck in TWRP recovery with empty phone

hi i was trying to root a new o4x, and after everything went right. i unlocked my bootloader by going into bootloader mode and putting "fastboot oem unlock" command, and then chose "unlock it" it said my bootloader is unlocked.
after that i installed cwm touch latest .4.5 ver recovery, and booted in v20a rom, copied vanir rom into my internal sdcard and booted into cwm recovery and tried to flash vanir 4.4.2 rom into it,
after flashing vanir rom, it booted perfectly, but when i connected it to pc, it didn't show my files on internal sdcard which i coppied on it in v20a, i mean there was no vanir rom zip into my internal sdcard, but when i go into recovery and see in "install zip" n go to internal sdcard, it shows vanir rom zip in my internal sdcard.
i thought it's a problem of recovery, so i installed TWRP recovery, i wiped everything including system, and then tried to flash vanir again, and now it's not flashing vanir or any other roms, it says zip successfully installed in recovery, but no rom boot up,
whichever thing i change in TWRP it reset it after rebooting into recovery,
i think TWRP is not able to write anything into system or other drives,
now i'm stuck, i don't know what to do here, i can't flash anything, and my phone is already empty
please help me,

Flash back to Jelly bean just to ensure that all is okay with your phone and start the process of CWM and installing custom rom again.
There is some tut in General section going back to stock via offical LG Flash tool.
Good Luck.

Hello...
Today i decided to flash new rom.
Unfortunally, i did something stupid and forgot to copy the rom to sd card before flashing CM11s boot img.
So, i am stuck with fastboot, bootloader and CWM recovery. I cant boot to OS - since it has been wiped after i flashed boot.img.
My question is, how can i copy the rom.zip from fastboot or recovery...
Please help.
Best regards, XTac.

Bootloader unlocked
Fastboot drivers set up and running
Recovery running
ADB dosent work (no android)

Put a microSD card in a card reader connected to a PC, copy CM11 there and then reinsert into your phone. Use the recovery to flash the ROM.
Or install a ROM using flashtool (flashmode or fastboot mode).
Or install a recovery that support adb or let you mount the sdcard and connect it to PC with USB (i don't know if exist one of this xD but you can search one).
Good luck

Well, thanks to the fact that i didnt had any sd card, i couldnt simply copy the rom zip there.
So i flashed a stock ROM and bootloader, and i started all the way from beggining. (looked up some tutorials) Now everything works.
Thanks, the problem is solved now.

[Q] Accidentally wiped system and now I can't boot into recovery

I followed all of the instructions in the Nexus 6 Guide to unlock, root and flash a custom recovery.
I was trying to sideload a rom into my phone and was doing advanced wipe in TWRP. I accidentally choose system thinking it would be fine since I am flashing a new rom anyway.
I think I force shut down the phone and now it just stays and hangs on the google logo. I can only get into the bootloader/fastboot. When I try getting into TWRP recovery it just flashes for a second and then attempts to reboot.
I figure I should try flashing a rom via adb bootloader/fastboot but I attempted a few times and failed. Can someone help walk me through this?
Edit: I can access TWRP recovery now... I tried doing sideload several more times but for some reason I keep getting loading rom.zip cannot read rom.zip
Well i going to geuss you know to to get to recovery though bootloader thought your phone
But your phone is semi Bricked
You can download wugs toolkit
And i will show unroot/flash stock you will click bootloop/ bricked and go though the steps
And it will download the stock software and reovery and go though the steps you will be fine
If you want use the same toolkit and root and install twrp again
Do you use a USB otg drive? If you don't you can send a rom to twrp using some commands.
Try to redownload the ROM that won't work and put it on the phone via a USB otg drive or using your pc and don't forgot gaps.
If you're not, use the WUG toolkit to reflash the stock ROM. Then you can use that to flash your new ROM
Unless im missing somethimg, why not just flash the factory image through fastboot and start over?
Like mentioned above, or just flash TWRP in fastboot. Then boot into TWRP, and flash ROM.

Htc one m7, error: Cant load recovery

Hello guys, i really need help. i have htc one m7 device and i rooted/ bootloader unlocked and flash a custom recovery CWM 6.0.4.7 and custom ROM android 5.0.2. after a while i experienced a constant reboot so i decided to flash another ROM, this time cyanogenmod 13 official after backing up the initial Rom. i run into an error while flashing the CM13. However, i decided to restore the backup i created initial but i think the error in CM13 flash has corrupted the cwm recovery. i get this error when restoring backup -- E: volume not found.
i have been trying to flash another recovery in fastboot mode but i get this error anytime i try in command prompt. this is the error-- error: cannot load "recovery"
i have tried to rename the downloaded recovery file and flash but with no success. when i check the device manager i see htc andriod interface with a sign on it plus android adb interface.
what really am i not doing right. someone should please help me out of this.
