So, I really messed up. Instead of doing a factory reset, I wiped everything. I have no backup. The only thing I can do is load up twrp and wish I had a ROM to try to flash. My computer won't recognize I have my phone connected.
You can either load a rom on usb otg drive or fix your computer issue (most likely driver related, but also could be a bad port or cable).

What do you mean when you say your computer won't recognize it? Does it do absolutely nothing when you plug it in, or does it show up as an "unrecognized device" or something like that?
If it shows up as unrecognized, it might be as easy as needing the right driver. Download this and install it to get that: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481.
TWRP supports MTP, so you should be able to just boot into TWRP, plug your phone into your PC, copy and paste whatever ROM you want to it, and flash it.
If you can't get that to work for whatever reason, you can flash back to stock by following section 0 of my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684
No, it will not re-lock your bootloader.
For some reason TWRP wouldn't show up as a mtp device nor could I sideload a rom file so I just restored to stock and will start over. Thanks for the suggestions!

Skip steps 1-3. Those only matter if your bootloader is locked. Since you have TWRP, I'm assuming that it isn't.

I have a motorola atrix HD (MB886), It is rooted. Last night I tried to flash a rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244963). I forgot to make sure USB Debugging was on, and I failed to read ahead and did not unlock the bootloader. I tried to flash it using methods that had previously worked for me and now the only thing I can do is go through the AP Fastboot menu, the Android System Recovery menu, and the Boot menu. I had backed up my ROM before attempting to flash through safestrap and TWRP, I have the backup file but I cannot access the safestrap menu to restore the ROM I had backed up.
I have tried to unlock the bootloader and it does nothing. I cannot figure out how to get my device to be shown by my computer in ADB mode to remotely enable USB Debugging. My computer recognizes the device in fastboot mode, but I cannot find anything to enable the usb debugging to unlock the bootloader. Is there something I am missing here? I already contacted my Phone company and there is no way to get a replacement. Someone please help me! I'm just lost at this point.....

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.

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"

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.
Hey so I have the L90 D415 and I flashed the partition tool to get more data but i didn't realize that it was broken for my device and now im having issues.... This is how it went. I used the tool and it got to 70% and rebooted back into twrp so i knew that wasnt right so i flashed the next one that was supposed to be fixed and it did flash completely but for some reason it erased twrp, installed cwm and now i cant get into either. I had flashed stock using cwm before i chose to reboot but im still not able to boot up(stuck on LG logo). So to recap I can't get into recovery at all. I have fastboot. flashtool wont work(wont read phone in usb mode cuz im not booted) and im stuck on the LG boot screen. Please help me.

Well duh you didnt wipe the data of the rom before you flashed so of couse you are gonna be boot. Flash with the kdz offline flash then when you are done flashing pull out battery and use special button combo to factory reset it so that you can boot in to phone but you will lose all data excluding the ones on your EXTERNAL sd card.

Go on the lg website and find lg l90 d415 drivers and install them if you got that far its most likely just driver issues.

Also check if you have your computer enabled for all drivers..
Some drivers do not boot because the certificate is not correctly assigned.
If you have a PC running Windows, on boot press F8 and select disable driver certification verify.
Try again after this.

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!

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.)

you dont need adb to move anything to your phone when using twrp. just connect to twrp using the mtp option.
my friend has a stock turbo, running latest ota. no root or unlock, stock.
it is stuck in a loop. i can unlock the phone or double tap windows button and multitasker pops up though i cannot interact with anything because this keeps popping up:
"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" sometimes it says another process like com.motorola.process.system
can't factory reset because the photos haven't been backed up.
how can i get it out of this loop so i can run KINGROOT and get a real rom going? thanks :cyclops:

I am not positive that a factory reset deletes your pictures.
That said I wouldn't risk it since I am not positive.
You should be able to pull your files via adb/fastboot.
Then after you have copied it all do a factory reset or simply flash a stock ROM.
Edit: from adb
You can try:
Adb pull /sdcard/dcim

how do i enable adb/fastboot from stock recovery? its been a couple years since i had an m7. iirc there was an option after you flashed a custom bootloader or something. i dont see the option now in recovery or boot
Fast boot is boot loader mode. But apparently you can't pull from there.
Try booting the device,
Then try plugging it in and typing
Adb devices and see if your device responds
If it does you can simply use the adb pull command
This assumes you have adb installed and ready on your system.
I think it is included with android SDK and there are tutorials out there.
