[Q] CM10.1 won't boot, can't mount storage. Fastboot?

I've successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and installed TWRP. I then put the zip file provided by Hashcode onto my device, wiped my cache and dalvik cache, and proceeded to install the new ROM.
After a successful install, I rebooted. It optimizes 65 installed apps, and then reboots again. An hour later the Cyanogen Mod logo is still spinning. I figured that was long enough to assume something went wrong. I powered down, went into TWRP and tried to mount storage so I could replace the Cm10.1 file with my backup files to go back to Stock. I'm receiving the following error when trying to mount storage though:
Code:
E:Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode.
So I attempted using ADB Sideload, but at no point have I managed to get my Kindle recognized by the ADB server. I appear to be in some hell where my device still "works," but I have no way to put anything on it to fix it.
My last option appears to be fastboot. I am able to get into fastboot mode on the Kindle, though I don't know what to do with it. I'm familiar with all the other steps from my original Kindle Fire, but I never got this deep into it. Wanted to see if someone could give me some direction before I really break this thing.
Update: Alright, so between the FAQ (Item 11) and Hashcode's instructions on restoring backups I've managed to get my Kindle back to stock. I panicked and posted prematurely, so sorry for crapping up the forum. Shout outs to Hashcode and Soupmagnet for their posts.

[Q] Wiped data and cache, and now I can't install the ROM

Hi there,
I have TWRP Recovery v2.3.3.0, and I want to install the new Shiny rom so I can taste that sweet, sweet Kit Kat. However, after I booted into recovery and wiped my cache and data (I wiped internal storage, cache, dalvik cache, and did factory reset), I found that I didn't have the rom on my phone storage anymore (duh). I connected the phone to my laptop (Windows 7) via usb, but for some reason it's not being recognized (it's not showing up in my computer or anything). I went into device manager and deleted the drivers so that I could install them anew, but I'm not entirely sure what to install/what to do afterwards.
Usually I'm good at figuring out what to do on my own with this sort of thing, but after scouring pages on pages for hours, I'm stumped now, and kinda frustrated. Can anyone give a brief step-by-step on what to do? I just don't wanna screw up something little and have it not work.
Thanks so much for reading! (I work in tech support at school, so I know how laborious this is. )

First of all install proper drivers using this GNex Toolkit. (Use it only to install drivers)
The boot to bootloader and flash the newest TWRP recovery by executing this command in the same folder where the file resides. Download it from here.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-maguro.img
Then boot to recovery and open command window in the same folder where your ROM's zip resides and execute following command.
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
Now reboot to recovery again and you will see the ROM zip in /sdcard. Flash it!!

I'm confused. should I be running this code on my phone, or computer? from my phone, I'm booting into recovery, pressing Advanced -> Terminal Command. then I navigate to the folder where I put the file (openrecovery...img), and executing the command, only to get "fastboot: not found"
Also, after installing the Gnex toolkit, I still can't put files in my phone's storage from my computer, unless I boot into the actual system and not the recovery. Is that alright?

Don't know if sideload is supported by TWRP. If it is supported, select 'install zip from sideload' and then run the following command:-
Code:
adb sideload ROM.zip

wow, I totally forgot I had the Nexus Root Toolkit, which does all this for you....I just had it flash my stuff, so I'm all good :good:

[Q] [HELP] [VK810] I think I bricked my Verizon G Pad

Hey so here goes. Stupid me went to perform a factory restore from within in android (stock 4.2.2 rooted) and I forgot that I had installed TWRP (currently 2.7.0.2) and when the tablet rebooted to wipe everything it booted to TWRP and tried to wipe where it promptly failed with "Unable to mount /data, /internal storage, /system, etc.
So here's where i'm at. The tablet will boot to recovery but will not let me wipe anything and will not boot to android.
When i attempt to restore a nand backup it will restore then error at the end with "Unable to mount /data" and again, the tablet will not boot.
I downloaded the TWRP 2.7.0.2 update zip and flashed over my existing recovery to see if that helped, no dice.
Now i'm trying to use the method found here on XDA to restore to factory using Download Mode and everything goes well until I get to the step where i actually flash the KDZ file I get this message:
Please install CSMG B2C Client TOOL.
Select Tool > B2C Client Setup Menu.
I have followed the instructions to the letter minus putting my tablet in USB debugging mode (can't boot the tablet, no Debugging Mode)
I have no idea where to go from here.
I should mention I also tried this on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit.
Edit: I'm not sure what wizardry has happened but it finally worked! That was terrifying for a while there.

[Q] Soft-Bricked phone, would like to restore to Stock OS

I was having some problems connecting to my mobile network, I couldn't access Google Play Store, I couldn't read Chinese well enough to figure out how to download and install new apps from China's playstore, so I decided to flash a custom OS on my P6 to play around with.
These are the steps I've taken and where it's led me to now -
Installed TWRP on my phone
Installed ADB and Fastboot onto my computer
Turned on Developer Mode and enabled USB debugging
Copied new OS Zip into my memory card
Restarted phone into TWRP recovery
Followed instructions to wipe dalvik, cache, data, and system (I'll try to find the link after this post)
Attempted to install the new OS (Failed due to incompatibility, stupid me)
Tried Sideloading an official Huawei released OS from their website (Failed to recognize my device on adb)
Tried Rebooting my device into Bootloader and attempted to load a Zip to force update my phone (and displayed "e:failed to mount /cache")
Flipped through xda and thought I needed Stock Recovery to load an official OS, so I fastboot flashed it in
Rebooted my phone into Recovery, saw "wipe data/factory reset", so I attempted that (displayed "E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
So... I'm stuck here, not sure what to do next because I think I'm just breaking my phone more than I'm trying to make it work... Can anyone help me out here? ._."

By the steps you've taken i can tell you are on stock recovery at this moment and with no system installed on phone, so i would suggest you downloading an official stock rom (update.app file) and put it in dload folder in a SD card and try to install. Now one thing that you should be aware before attempting this is to make sure you have the same version of OS as the one before, either JB or KK. Good luck.

How to repair Wileyfox Swift when I can get into TWRP but not bootloader

Hi. I've just updated CM13 to the latest nightly using TWRP, but now the system just boots into TWRP - that's whether I select boot system, recovery, or bootloader. I tried restoring from a TWRP backup or another copy of the nightlies zip - it all seems to work fine but doesn't solve the problem. I can connect to the 'recovery' device using adb but adb restart bootloader just loads TWRP again. I've tried wiping first the dalvik/cache, then everything but the internal card, then finally everything but nothing seems to work.
I did get something a little bit like this a few days ago because SuperSU was complaining that I needed to update the binary. I let it do it the way that it suggested one does when TWRP is installed and afterwards couldn't reboot into system, but after a few minutes of frustration sorted things by wiping various partitions.
I attempted to load the full system restore files (cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS29G-crackling-signed-fastboot-74bb753396.zip) using TWRP but that didn't work (I imagine because they're designed to be run via fastboot). I tried loading them via the ADB sideloader option included in TWRP but it failed after a few seconds (I think the message was 'transmitting 0.0x'
I opened that zip and copied the various files to the external card, but I then baulked at installing the image files manually because the only partition option I'm given is boot and my understanding is that each image file should go into its own partition.
The only other potentially pertinent information I can think of:
TWRP keeps reporting "E: Unable to find partition size for '/recovery'"
Has anyone got any ideas please? I had been musing that my next phone would have OTG and NFC, but I wasn't planning to upgrade just yet if I don't absolutely have to.

Have you got it fixed? And if yes - how? I am stuck in a similar situation and can't find a solution for it. Tnx in advance.
