Hi,
I'm trying to install paranoid rom for galaxy nexus.
I updated the twrp recovery and I checked all this option and then I wiped the smartphone
Dalvik Cache
Cache
System
Data
External SDCard
USB--OTG
now I want copy the .zip rom files into the sd and install it via twrp but I don't know how to copy the .zip into the sd.
If I try to plug the device to computer I cannot see it.
I can access to twrp recovery and explore the file system so I think there is a way to copy some files into the phone.
What can I do?
thanks for help

Do you still able to boot into recovery. Try installing ROM via fastboot
If adb drivers are installed correctly, u can flash ROM zip via sideload
Code:
adb sideload rom.zip
Also you can push files to sdcard via adb
Code:
adb push xyz.zip /sdcard/xyz.zip
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ok, I solved using fastboot
but I have a new problem now... I can't boot into recovery (isn't this ironic?)
I flash the twrp for galaxy nexus in this way:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery......
and it seems flashed but when I try to boot into twrp it failed and reboot the operating system
I also tried to flash twrp via gooManager... it says "recovery has been installed" but I get the same problem

Hi guys, I was changing Roms and accidentally hit wipe internal storage in TWRP.
I've tried to flash a Sinless ROM, an insert coin ROM and also looked on htcdev website to get an RUU to try and put it back to stock, yet every time I try and install a zip file through twrp it says "unable to open zip file".
I've also taken a shot at trying to add sideload the rom on there, no progress is made and eventually fails again... I've got no backups saved or anything...
Is there anything else I can try to make my phone work again? I was possibly thinking trying to get my brother to do a backup on his M8, put his SD in my phone, then restore from his back up, will this work?
Is there anything else I can try in the mean time? Really don't know what to do next...
Many thanks in advance guys

Hi,
In my ignorance, i think the failed flashes could be caused by two things:
1- the recovery you are using is not updated. Try to flash the lastest TWRP recovery or change recovery version.
2- corrupted ROM zips. Maybe there are problems while downloading the ROMS or while you copy them to your external sd card. Try to download them on another computer AND using a different browser. And maybe put the zips on a different SD card if you can. But, MOST IMPORTANT thing, check the MD5 after you've finished to download the zips.
About the nandroid backup... I think it could work BUT be sure that your brother M8 has the same brand, firmware and Android version of your M8 (before you wiped everything).
However, about this last part w8 maybe for somone else more expert the me w

Get into fastboot and type in fastboot: fastboot erase cache
Than reflash your recovery with with fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Than make sure that your downloaded zip isn't corrupted by trying to unzip it. If its successful, place the rom into the SD card and insert it into your M8 and flash from there.
Set up everything and voila, all done!

My apologies, didn't notice your reply. If his is s-on, he can try his brother's nandroid and if it fails, nothing will happen so its possible for him to restore his brother's nandroid if they are based on the same firmware
I unlocked my boot loader by htcdev, phone is s-on though.
I've downloaded each file twice, and also downloaded the insertcoin rom on another computer, made no difference. I'm using twrp 2.7.0.2 I believe...
Where would I get a new recovery.img file from? Sorry to sound stupid but I'm not sure and don't wanna mess my phone up more. Also when you download the file do you have to have it in the same directory as adb.exe, so when you run the adb command it will get it from that directory?

Just tried doing this fastboot method, I typed in adb devices to see if the phone was recognised, didn't show up, I typed in fastboot erase cache and it still did so. I then pushed the latest TWRP recovery.img file on to the phone, it's now running the latest version of TWRP, but still won't let me flash anything, still keeps saying unable to open zip...

Have you made sure the insertcoin rom that you have downloaded is compatible with your device? Your device needs to be running the lastest firmware as all the roms are updated to 4.4.4
As for the recivery, the lastest is 2.8.1.0
Here's the link to the recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717932

Make sure you have HTC drivers installed. if you don't, download HTC Sync and uninstall HTC Sync leaving the drivers in your computer than type in: adb devices.
Boot into fastboot and flash the recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( or you can just directly drag the "recovery.img" into cmd and press enter)
Load the rom into a external SD card and insert the SD card into your device and flash the rom from there
Also, do you check MD5 after downloading the ROM????
My device was running 4.4.4 prior to this happening. I did download the latest recovery and push it to the phone, it did work, but upon trying to flash a new rom, it still says failed.
The phone is being detected in adb, when it's in recovery it says so, sideload it says so, just not fast boot?
Oli
Forgive me for beimg stupid but how do I check the md5?

http://www.guidingtech.com/9800/what-is-md5-checksum-how-to-verify-it/
Compare it with the MD5 given in the ROM topic
I had the same problem where I couldn't flash anything and it wouldn't mount my storage. I had to adb flash RUU though that only works for s-off users
So if the md5 was to be fine and matched up, what would you try next?
Thanks

Try unzipping the .zip file on your pc with 7zip and then re-zipping it and try to flash again. I've also had some .zip files that can't be read and it wouldn't even open on the pc itself(giving errors) until I unzipped it with 7zip and re-zipped it.

Also a fail to unzip will point towards a bad download.
Hi guys.
So I tried a new SD card, matched up the md5s, tried flashing a new recovery.img file (which worked, I'm running the latest twrp now), unzipped and rezipped using 7zip, yet when I try and flash it still fails! I've tried flashing on the phone and sideloading it, both still fail.
Sideload failure says:
"installing '/external_sd/sideload.zip'
checking for md5 file
skipping md5 check:no md5 found" - that's where it gives up...
Phone flash failure says exactly the same except another line after sayi ping "error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROM.zip"
I really don't know what to try anymore... I've tried so much and I just can't see anything working now
Thanks for your help so far guys

Did you try flashing from Internal memory instead of sdcard?
No I havent. How can I get the rom to the internal memory mate? the phone has no OS on, so it's stuck in recovery or bootloader, how can I transfer the file to internal rather than the sd card?
Twrp 2.8.1.0 has MTP working.

Since your device only boots into the bootloader menu, all you'll have to do is highlight the Recovery option using the Volume Down button and select it with the Power button. If you do not see the Recovery option, just select Bootloader with the Power button and it should pop up.
Once in TWRP, tap the Advanced option and select ADB Sideload.
From there, you will be given the option to Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache partitions, so go ahead and do so by checking the boxes and Swipe to Start Sideload. After it starts, you will be ready to start your ROM flash.
With your device connected to your computer and your ROM file already on your desktop, you are ready to flash.
Kill ADB using the adb kill-server command, then restart it with adb usb.
Make sure your computer can identify your device with the adb devices command.
Flash your ROM with adb sideload Desktop/ROM.zip (be sure to change "desktop" to "downloads" or where ever your ROM is stored, and change "ROM.zip" to the name of your ROM file).
Sorry mate I didn't understand your previous post but I tried this method already, tried flashing Roms using sideload and they still fail, I've posted the error message in one of my previous posts if that helps?

It looks so simply but did you take a look to your rom zip? open with a zip explorer like winzip in /META-INF/com/google/android and here you must find this file

Probably a bad flashing and you are needing repari partitions, for that I recommend start from beginning again:
- flash miui rom for fastboot (unpack zip rom in your adb folder for better performance, connect device to pc into mode fastboot, be sure device be recogniced typing; fastboot devices then right click mouse and execute like admin over "flash all".
- then to install rom you can flash again twrp via fastboot typing any place adb folder and placing file recovery.img this folder; fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- then go to recovery with hardware keys and flash supersu v.2.79

two things; I assume that trying to flash from extSD, if yes with file explorer of recovery copy to internal memory, maybe an issue to reading extSD, also you can to install a newer version of recovery 3.0.3.2 works sometimes for me and last here you have a reading page about install fastboot on mac (nightmare) http://www.stechguide.com/setup-adb-and-fastboot-on-mac-easy-step-by-step-guide/

Hi
My chiron is on fastboot mode,i cant turn off
Not run in system
I can enter on TWRP only ADB
What can i do?
Thanx
You say you can get into TWRP, right?
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Wipe > Format Data
3. Transfer a compatible ROM to your phone
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Google Apps and Root if you want
6. Boot into system

For me when I plug in my phone to my computer while in TWRP I can still drag and drop the files over. You should be able to see your device in Windows. Since you can use adb try doing
Code:
adb push <source file location> <target location>
replace the <source file location> with the file location. That should move the file over to the phone. Then you can flash the ROM and get into the system.
Edit: When you click the Install button can you not find the files? The ROM you are flashing should be in a zip file.

Hi,
Everytime I try to OTA update de weekly rom, I get the message that says that my memory is encrypted and directs me to recovery.
In recovery when I select the ROM, it returns ERROR 7, I know that it is related with 2 command lines in the updater script.
My question is, how can I fix this problems so I can normally OTA update?
Xiaomi MI 9 SE
TWRP 3.5.0_9-0

Ahh I see now,some phones are built with a custom recovery failsafe so updating straight from the phone won't work
Youre going to have to download the update file to the phone (usually ota.zip)
copy it to pc
Unzip it and check the code (installscript.sh, build.prop... all of them(use Notepad++)) and remove recovery what nots (mine had expect recoveryxa84883,and some other recovery partition nonsense) - this is so you dont lose your twrp
compress all the files and name the zip (anything you want)
copy the zip to your adb fastboot folder
Then make sure usb debugging is enabled and
on pc type in adb: adb reboot recovery
after twrp open select the sideload option and use the method of flashing update then your update will flash easy
or
flash your stock firmware recovery image from extsdcard (external sd card) recovery.img as recovery in twrp (surely you know how to tranfer files from pc to microsddard ..)
reboot to system when done and do normal update should work fine
then flash twrp image from pc flashing software into recovery

Thanks for your reply.
Your first method is what I have to do to update manually, delete the model verification in updater-script. But I have to do this every time I want to update. How can this prevent from happening next times?
The second method, I haven't understood, have to flash stock recovery every time I want to update?
My point is to prevent this from happening, I want to OTA update normally, without having to do this procedures every time.

Yes
and the second method, yes, flash stock recovery to OTA update (it'll think that everthing is fine)
you can keep stock update if dont need twrp anymore
to update normally you would have to modify your stock recovery to have an intergrated twrp
basically making "stock twrp recovery" mod
Or in the same manner add a partition or boot option for twrp in boot image in maybe boot to [normal, recovery, bootloader"fastboot", and twrp]
with enough dedication it is definitely possible

Yes but now that you mention if you could edit the twrp recovery_id to match that of the stock recovery ,it might work because the system/ ota file calls for a specific recovery_id
