Phone has no O/S installed, cannot detect phone to put rom zip on phone. please help

I believe I overwiped my phone, it has no rom on it now, and when I plug it into the computer, it makes the noise, but will not show up in windows explorer. I am able to boot into recovery, TRWN, although I can't do anything from there because I have no rom to install. I have tried installing the latest HTC drivers, using a different cord, disabling antivirus, pretty much everything previously listed in these forums. Is there a way to use the command prompt to send a rom over to the phone? Please help.

donwload the all in one toolkit use it to erase cache then install recovery. after that either mount usb otg and copy rom to sd or sideload a rom. all in one toolkit automates everything you need to do:good::good:

I wish I could say that worked, however when I try to use the AIO toolkit, when it launces the command prompt it says 'device not found.' same problem as windows. There has to be a way to force a file on there. Any ideas? Again, I can boot to recovery but have no zip on the phone memory to flash.

if it says device not found press the power button once and try again. it will say once in fastboot close the first window if you close the first window and nothing happens then press power and it should start
if your in fastboot options should be----bootloader----reboot----reboot bootloader----power down

Thanks for getting me this far. Mounting didn't work, so I sideloaded rom. it is showing up on the phone as "sideload.zip" i try to run and it fails. Any ideas?

Have you used this command?
Code:
adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
If yes, it will work.
Maybe sideload.zip contains rom and if sideload.zip don't have meta-inf it will not flashed

I get it sideloaded and installed android revolution. however, when I'm done installing the rom, trwn tells me "superuser is not installed, would you like to install now?" I say yes and then the phone goes blank, and reboots to bootloader. Any ideas?

im guessing your using twrp but just select no dont root the rom is already rooted and it should boot. may take getting through a few aroma freezes but it will boot

OK, so I didn't say yes to the question this time after sideloading android revolution. same thing. goes blank then reboots to bootloader menu. So I tried sideloading viperrom 1.04. This time after it finished sideloading it randomly installed instelfl, and now viperrom is installed, its booting up to the phone now finally, yet before anything can initialize, it just reboots again. It's been caught in this boot loop about ten minutes now. No end in sight. Any ideas?

ViperRom from Sprint or AT&T one forum?
Your phone is branded or no-brand?
However, boot into recovery, and use this command:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
, then flash it

Also, I have now tried flashing and installing TrickDroid which also boots to the O/S but then after a few seconds reboots and starts all over again. I just let it run, and it boots, then reboots, over, and over, and over again. Any ideas?

Have you tried to flash the boot.img from fastboot?

I fixed it!!! I had to download the latest RUU for the HTC One. I ran the RUU after relocking, and then started the root process from scratch. RUU is the only thing that would work. Also, the best rom I have gotten to work for sprint is ViperRom, TrickDroid installed and booted but the camera wouldnt work. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Reflash the latest TWRP and check if adb work.
Becuase without it you can't push/sideload a rom...

Can't detect SD Card

Hi, I'm having sort of the same problem. My phone is stuck on a bootloop, I flashed a new recovery because the previous TWRP stopped working. When I try to wipe data/factory reset, It says that it can't detect E:\ or the SD Card. I can't even mount it. Any ideas? Please help. Thanks

Can't unlock bootloader and fake rom

Hello everyone i have this problem. I bought an sh xiaomi mi5 and it has a fake rom installed, basicly i can't install zip files from the updater or anything similar. I have recived the unlock code from xiaomi but i just can't unlock the phone, it gets stuck at 50% and that is, from what i've read, because i don't have the chinese developer build. I can't install the dev build and i can't unlock.. So can someone please help me and tell me how the hell am I goig to install the official rom? Please..
I have tried the chinese xiaomi thing, and when i click shift+ the flash i click recovery, it won't work because it doesn't find my phone, i tried every port and they won't work.

This what worked for me
Download a fastboot rom from miui site.

Do the deep flash cable method, that always works. With fairly beginner soldering skill I managed to make one in 10 minutes

On Windows 7 i needed to manually install ADB fastboot drivers from Control Panel -> Device Manager. If you see "Unknown ADB interface" or similiar in device manager, then manual installation of drivers is required.

in fastboot mode .
i solved it by;
1.disable internet coonection cause of auto update driver
2.uninstall kedacom driver, select delete files.
3.update driver manually and select let me pick driver.
4. choose usb composite device
then retry

can u kindly explain the process in detail ....step by step it will help many ppl as almost all resellers r selling mi5 with fake Roms ... and MIUI forum is a mess .....
thanks

honestly I couldn't find a single tutorial about :
1 how to unlock bootloader for mi5
2 flash official ROM ( global or Chinese) from reseller fake rom
3 how to root and flash twrp
MIUI forum is pure garbage

I had the same problem with an Mi 5s and a fake ROM. Amongst the chaos of the MIUI forums I found a poster who described what worked for him unlocking a Redmi Note. I followed his advice and the unlocking process went without a hitch after many frustrating attempts getting to 50% with an error.
The answer was to do a factory reset, then on the initial setup, log into your Mi account and accept everything - sync, data, find, backup etc. Once this was done, I ran MiFlashUnlock and the unlocking process completed successfully.
Hope this helps!

unlock process

1. you should flash offical global rom or offical chinese development rom with mi flash app
http://en.miui.com/thread-272376-1-1.html
2. Then reboot to fastboot by volume down + power button combination.
3. if device manager shows your device as "usb composite device ,you can go on and try "fastboot devices" command in adb folder command promt to see if command is working .if not ;
3.a. it is probably shown as "kedacom usb device".right click device , uninstall drivers by selecting remove files option.
3.b. disable internet connection and right click and refresh in device manager .after your device is shown . right click on device and select update driver
3.c. select "browse my computer" and after that choose "let me peek" option. than find "usb composite driver" and install
3.d. retry fastboot command as mantioned above.
4.then use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/unlocking-xiaomi-mi-5-bootloader-t3336243 for unlock .
5. this one for twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/recovery-twrp-xiaomi-mi-5-t3412123
6. now you can install any rom you want .another usefull info ; if you dont want to see password on every boot after flashing twrp ,backup your data use "fastboot erase userdata" in fastboot mode. remember this will remove all data on your phone .

thanks man will follow ur instructions as soon as I get my mi5

Bootloop / can't flash any ROM

Hello, I have a Redmi 4x and I recently applied to unlock the bootloader.
After that, I tried installing SANTONI Resurrection Remix 6.1.0, but after booting to TWRP I downloaded from the link given in the thread, it was asking the decryption password. After googling it, I found it was the pin used to unlock the phone. I was entering the correct pin and after changing it twice from the MIUI settings, then I was stuck in a bootloop. I do not know what happened exactly, after rebooting from TWRP, I couldn't boot to the system or the recovery any more. So I downloaded the XiaoMiFlash tool and the Xiaomi_Redmi_4X_V8.2.10.0.MAMMIEA_20170609.0000.00_6.0_Global ROM and flashed it using the tool. Once the whole process is done, the phone reboots, but after the boot animation many messages from many apps start popping, all saying the same, except the name of the app, for example "Themes has stopped working", "Google services has stopped working". The recovery is now changed to a screen showing my phone and a cable saying only "pcsuite.mi.com". After installing the PCsuite, it won't recognize my phone. I also can't flash TWRP, because I get the following message in the command prompt: "error: no devices/emulators found", I think because I first need to enable USB Debugging in the new ROM. But the device can be recognized by the XiaoMiFlash tool.
I tried downloading an other ROM from Xiaomi, but MIUI ROM Download Page Shuts Down Temporarily Due to System Update.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance!

try download miui 9 fasboot rom from another link http://en.miui.com/thread-3019374-1-1.html

Yup! That one worked like a charm! I'm on RR now, thanks!

Looks like ADB doesn't recognize your device. Meaning there is no driver as to where the computer can communicate with your phone. You first have to install adb drivers to get it to work the way it should.

okay mad, you're my man <3
you sent me on the right path, if you or anyone want to know what was wrong i'll explain it here
adb driver wasn't properly installed i had to manually install it on the device manager. the second issue i had was misc.bin didn't come with any of the downloads so i had to download that from somewhere else then flash it. after that twrp installed successfully. when i flashed the custom rom i wasn't able to reboot the system it would just go back to twrp. after removing the sim it worked then i just put the sim back in, and now everything is working well. thanks for your help
