Bonehead Move - Moto X Q&A

I have a unlocked X, was trying to install a new rom via recovery and something went wrong...but I forgot to do backup so now its on a boot loop and I didnt have USB debugging enabled. Is there anyway to load new another rom to the phone so that I can install via recovery since I dont have usb enabled?

Yes power the device off by holding the power button and volume down, after the display is off let go of the power button. You can flash recovery or boot to recovery from there

I can boot into recovery but how do I transfer the new rom to the phone so I can install via recovery? I dont know how to move it from my PC to the phone.

You should look up side loading via adb and most newer recoveries allow you drag and drop once it's booted, you are using a custom recovery for your phone correct?

yes team win recovery v2.6.3.1

In advance you will find sideload via adb, I am sure you have fastboot/adb commands on your PC as well an understanding of how sideloading works

Since I didn't have USB debugging on when it went into boot loop, am I screwed or how can I move a new rom over? I do have win recovery I am able to boot to recovery but can't figure out how to load new rom. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Might have to start from scratch....flash the latest 5.1 firmware again....and bootloader if you haven't done so yet.

First link, option 5. Had a similar problem where I can go to recovery but my internal was deleted...I had nothing. Nor did I have a system.....I couldn't restore a backup nor flash a new ROM. I had nothing but recovery....so I googled the 5.1 firmware update and modem....and followed option 5 with mfastboot. Phone is up and running fine.

cannot get root or cmw working, help needed

hi there i have tried all the possible methods and i cannot get root to work or CMW to work.
ive unlocked the boot loader with the stock rom that avaiable in the tutorial but once it try to install CMW and root i get nothing...
fasboot does not recognize my device so i see no way out..
You can flash cwm with odin, you'll find the files on droidbasement.com. Sometimes it doesn't "stick" (for the lack of a better word) so do it twice. Then you can use rommanager ONLY to reboot into recovery, for nothing else! and proceed with the steps. Do not ever flash anything ever with rommanager.

For your own sake, try to get fastboot working, it's going to make your life easier. If you're using Windows 8 you're out of luck as the drivers are not correctly signed. (at least that was the case when I tried it last)

Its tricky but doable and quite worth it, since fastboot is very powerfull.

You'll have to get fastboot working, no way around it then. There are a ton of links to different versions of drivers in this and other forums, one of them will work.

There may be another way, IF the current ROM has adb installed.
Flash CWM in odin
Go to Settings->Developer options- and set Android debugging to on.
Go to the command line (on the platform-tools folder of the android sdk) and type "adb devices".
If it identifies the device, an id will appear; then type "adb reboot recovery" which should reboot the device into CWM.

Do you have ADB and fastboot software installed in your PC? Either have that or download Android SDK. You can boot your phone via ADB command lines.

Can you reach the boot menu by pressing the volume down key while powering on?
Otherwise, try to check if fastboot is able to see your device and flash some new boot and system image

Yes, installed correct. it show up in the Device Manager list.
Anyway, i go to try this driver. Thanks. Let me know u
hmm. unlucky. Still nothing. Windows take a signal when connecting phone shows on fastboot menu => fastboot usb and adb mode say error device not found:crying:
i scanned my drivers using driver genius v11, i saw android driver named Samsung_Android_4.0_usbdrivers. now i think its something wrong with my boot.img?
When you see fastboot usb, and you type fastboot devices in a terminal, what does it say? ADB only works in recovery or when your ROM is booted, so just focus on fastboot.
it say when N1 is fastboot usb mode "error device not found". thanks for advance. tomorrow i'll be ask more.

HTC One Formated. Help!

Hi, im new here. Recently Installed Rom and bunch of other things on my HTC ONE. OverClocked it as well. Longs story short. I wanted to wipe the phone but click the Format option.
Now all I have is white screen with Htc logo on it. Cant connect to the computer. Cant boot it into recovery/fastboot Menu. Will not turn off. Just stuck on that HTC logo screen. Im waiting till battery dies may be than ill atleast be able to go to fastboot...
Is it possible to bring it back or the phone is done?
My apologies if im in the wrong area/section
Phone is on Rogers/Canada.
You don't have to worry. Drain battery and boot into bootloader tomorrow. You cam always fastboot flash the Rom if it won't boot. Easiest way is via m7 tools.

googling it now. I got it to sideload in recovery but have no idea what to do on the computor. think i need a toolkit
This works in CWM anyway
Boot into recovery
from the pc do the adb push filename.zip /data/media
wait for it to copy
then on the phone reboot recovery your rom should be in the root of the sdcard waiting for you to flash
I just tested it and it worked perfect ( of coarse I didn't format my sdcard so ymmv )

I tried using all in 1 kit. it goes into cmd but doesnt really do anything. I also dont understand when to or what to do in the phone while im doing stuff on the computer. Which menu the phone should be in. Im looking at so many different things and non work or non i understand.

Hi mate, I'd be happy to help on TeamViewer, as I understand it is complicated to do if you're new to the commands
when using all in one toolkit it will open two cmd windows you manually close the first one after that if it says waiting for device make sure it says fastboot usb at the top of bootloader screen on your phone if it says hboot press power button once. but if your sideloading a rom your phone must be in recovery and sideload selected in recovery. once sideload is done you will have the rom you sideloaded on your sd then you will have to flash that rom.zip

1. Put phone into recovery
2. Plug into PC
3. Open adb/fastboot folder on PC and drag your chosen rom into there
4. Hold down shift and right-click inside the folder and select 'Open Command Prompt Here'
5. Type 'adb push NAMEOFROM.zip /data/media/' (/data/media/0/ if you were on 4.2.2)
6. Wait for it to complete, as there will be no progress indicator. It takes around 250 seconds (4 minutes)
7. Type 'adb reboot recovery'
8. Install zip from sdcard as usual. Zip file will be on the root
thx Mac.

[Q] No OS is installed, stuck on boot?

Hi there,
So I've wiped it completely ending up with no OS installed on it, i have nothing on the SD card (Internal storage in this case).
When i boot it up, it just stays on the HTC logo.
Im using a mac, so when i connect it to, Android File transfer pops up trying to recognise it, but in the end it doesn't.
My question is, how do i get my computer to recognise my phone so i can put a zip onto it and flash it.
I've seen people saying adb, but i have no idea how to use it, or what it is kind of, i know its something to do with terminal?
Any help?!

I have never tried ADB with a mac, but what i would do for my windows is first download and install the fastboot drivers. then, you should make sure that you still have a custom recovery image (CWM, TWRP, etc.) if you dont, then push one via adb (google it, there are billions of articles.) Then, i would install zip from sideload from the recovery. I know that CWM has an option like this. Some recoveries have an option to mount your phone as USB storage, allowing you to drag and drop roms from your computer to your phone's SD card and then you can just flash the rom from your sd card. Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing. (factory reset data, format system)

Hi,
Thanks so much for replying.
I now have a new problem, i was searching up, and apparently i can install the stock rom if i relock the bootloader (which i have now done) and then run the RUU? (Is this correct?)
So i have done all that, however i can't seem to find the right RUU, because when it says do you want to update from image version... to image version... they are always different numbers?
My image version is 2.24.401.1
I think mine is the unlocked International version, i bought it on Amazon.
Can you help me at all?

Download adb sdk and set it up. I don't know how to do it in Mac so just Google it. When your adb is setup. Go in adb folder, then SDK folder, then platform-tools and put any ROM zip there. Do this first I will tell you more when you are through this.

No problem. Once you had set up everything , go to platform tools folder. From there open command prompt and run this command adb push ROM.zip /data/media/0/. You have to run this command in boot loader mode on your phone. It will put ROM on the phone. Mind you it will take some time. Up 10 to 15 mins in case of sense ROM and 5 to 10 min in case of cm or other aosp ROM. After that reboot in recovery and install rom.

Funnily enough i had the same issue a week or so ago. I was going to flash a ROM and went to wipe in TWRP. Mucked up and wiped the "sd card" as well as system and data. I blame the wine.
Anyhow, oopsy.
I had recently bought a USB stick with a micro usb plug built in. I loaded a ROM flash-able zip onto that, plugged it in, and mounted USB OTG from TWRP.
Flashed it from the USB stick and all was well. Having never tried this i was actually surprised it worked.
Just mentioning this as an alternative for people who may not be that comfortable with adb. Does require a custom recovery. I know it can be done under the latest version of TWRP, but not sure about CWM as i haven't used that for ages.

Funnily enough i had the same issue a week or so ago. I was going to flash a ROM and went to wipe in TWRP. Mucked up and wiped the "sd card" as well as system and data. I blame the wine.
Anyhow, oopsy.
I had recently bought a USB stick with a micro usb plug built in. I loaded a ROM flash-able zip onto that, plugged it in, and mounted USB OTG from TWRP.
Flashed it from the USB stick and all was well. Having never tried this i was actually surprised it worked.
Just mentioning this as an alternative for people who may not be that comfortable with adb. Does require a custom recovery. I know it can be done under the latest version of TWRP, but not sure about CWM as i haven't used that for ages.

Hi,
Yeah i was thinking about doing that and ordering one from amazon as i don't know anyone else who sells on in shops.
However, even i order today it will come Tuesday, so in the meantime i will see if i can fix it using adb.
Thanks anyway
Have you installed adb SDK. Just Google and install it at C:\ . you will get an adb bundle folder. In that folder you will find SDK and in SDK is platform tools folder. Or if you have USB drive and an OTG cable, you can use @astmacca's method. Its much easier.

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
Post results after removing IMEI and serial no.

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.

How are you getting on? You most likely haven't bricked your ONE

Now it finds it again
nd what happened to the sideload? Did the rom zip get copied?
Sideload would not connect, it fails all the time...

I have tried all things that you guys have suggested...i can´t get any of them to work, for now...So hard find all the right links and so on...i´m not great with android...is there any video or story, how to do that ? I suck My english also, i´m from Finland
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.
Edit I somehow missed your last post before posting this. Send me a PM, and I'll help you get it fixed up after work.

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.
