stuck after wiping

i used ext4 recovery to go to screen to flash a rom and it freeezed after I wiped partition except sd card ( i'm presuming my sd card is still ok)
so i tried to connect my phone to adb on my computer but was unable to flash the rom via fastboot. Is it possible to do so or what am i supposed to do ? am i supposed to place the ROM zip file in the android platform tools folder or push it to my SD card ( I am not too sure what command to input too ) ?

boot in recovery again and reflash the rom. ADB only works with booted phones and custom roms are not possible to be flashed from fastboot anyway but RUU's are.

Sorry I forgot to add that my volume is spoilt so that's why I was trying to use the adb. Is there anyway I can try to flash anything or I have to try the ruu (where can I get it and place it in and the command to type too) ?thanks

i used a card reader and checked my SD card and there's a clockworkmod folder with the files .android_secure.vfat (357,525 KB RAR) ,cache.ext4 ( 5KB RAR) , data.ext4 ( 489,783 RAR) , system.ext4 ( 424,852 KB RAR) , boot.img ( 4,096 KB IMG file) , fsinfo (1 KB file), nandroid.md5 (1 KB MD5 file) , recovery.img ( 8,701KB IMG file ) . anything i can do with them too ? I pulled my batt out as I was afraid it might run down quickly with the boot menu on all day too - not sure if I can get back to it later

Connect your phone to your computer, make sure ADB and the drivers are installed, and type it from the computer command line. There are several ADB guides online; Ace Think Tank thread in General forums has one linked.

yup, comp suddenly said found new hardware and asked for drivers , so i assumed it meant it wanted the android 1.0 and got the android-usb-driver and included in the path folder for it to search to install.
after I got to the boot menu, i keyed adb reboot recovery but it says no device found now - have I done anything wrong ?

You need to install drivers with the device unplugged. Install them, then plug the phone and let the PC finish the process. Once it says that the device is ready to be used, you go ahead.
If you are going to install them again, uninstall what it is already in your pc from control panel and then do the above. :good:

oh,,,, I thought it suddenly needed something when plugged and prompted to install some drivers so I did ....
erm, I'm not sure where the driver is now - the only possible options i have under my control panel is 'Add hardware' or 'add/remove program' , I suppose ? windows xp

Bricked ZL550 - Any ideas?

I bricked my U.S. market ZL550 Zenfone 2. My bad, I spent the last two weeks desperately trying everything I could think of to get Link2SD to mount an Ext2 or 4 partition on my SDXC card, and I wasn't at all surprised when it hung on the Asus logo while booting on Saturday.
Anyway, I can't get it to boot normally again. Using fastboot, I flashed recovery, boot and droidboot from the latest Asus ROM, Z008-WW-2.18.40.7, but when I try to flash the system image zip, I get a bunch of errors and a "fail" message on the phone.
I tried sideloading the image with adb but adb won't connect to the phone in recovery mode. Also tried copying the image zip to the SD Card but that wouldn't load, it would only look for MOFD_SDUPDATE.ZIP.
I can return it, I'm not exactly thrilled with it anyway. Anyone have any ideas of what I might try before sending it back?
Thanks! Carl

I'm surprised!! Why do you need link2sd??? with 32 GB Internal, I have 118 Apps installed along with movies and music. Still I have space( I have not used SD Card).
Anyways,
From what you mentioned, you seem to have a ZE551ML. And you Installed Z008-WW-2.18.40.7. It should be Z00A and not Z008. Please download the correct firmware and try out.:good:
Thumb-rule,
ZE550ML = Z008
ZE551ML = Z00A
I guess thats what you did Wrong

Thanks for pointing that out! It's actually a 16GB 550.

I'd go and connect it to pc on fastboot and wipe everything via command. Ex. Fastboot erase system, data, cache. Then flash a stock Rom from Asus via adb sideload

for MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip to work, you need to place it on the external sd card and reboot into recovery. It will automatically start to install.
Placing it on the Internal card wont help.

I wouldnt recommend that.
He is unable to use adb properly. And if he messes up something, he might even lose his warranty

When i restored from stock via ADB, I was going from a preroot, bricked, because I updated and was getting the little error bot.. After i sideload the image, i still had to factory reset. I'm just guessing, but you did try and do the factory reset after fastboot/ADB.

I can't sideload the image, because I can't connect with ADB.

but you can get into recovery, it's just when you click on "ADB update" your computer doesn't see the phone, that's my understanding...

Right, correct. I can get into recovery, and fastboot works, but not ADB.

It sounds like you still in fastboot and not recovery. This is what recovery looks like and then you put in it "Apply update ADB sideload."

Yep, that is exactly what it looks like. But when I try to sideload, it times out. ADB won't see the phone.

I'm pretty sure if it timse out using ADB sideload then it should also timeout when you type ADB deviecs, but try it you should see your serial number sideload.... If you don't then
1. Make sure you have ADB 1.42 with intel drives 1.9
2. Use the stock cable.
3. In device manager make sure there's no unknown Android devices.
4. if ADB still doesn't work then try and flash via fast boot a new boot.img and recovery.img.
5. If you do get to the point where you can sideload...
6. Downloaded the ASUS firmware with WW not CN.
7. Also make sure the firmware package doesn't have ext .zip.zip, because of unknown file ext in windows.

Not sure if this works but you can give it a try.
Have you boot it with Temp CWM?
Delete all cache, including those of under advanced section
install zip file should work to install your full rom. since you stated you cant adb to detect.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!
I was just sort of reviewing godgib's screen grab when it slowly dawned on me that at least part of the solution had been staring me in the face all along.
It had never occurred to me that adb might not be able to connect even though fastboot could. Then when I read "you need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this device", it started to make sense. I upgraded adb and connected but still couldn't sideload. After reviewing godgib's methodical list, I realized it was a driver problem. Once I squared that away, sideload went without a hitch.
Interesting side note...I don't know what build I had originally, but it had to be at least a month old or so. I figured I might as well get the latest release, so I went with Z008_WW_2.18.40.7, and I updated boot/droidboot/recovery while I was at it. The funny thing was that when it booted, it was set for 250 dpi and everything was tiny.
Luckily, since adb was finally working (thanks again godgib) I was able to send "adb shell wm density 480" to put it back to normal.
Thanks again, everyone!
Carl

Appreciate that.
Of course now auto-rotate is borked. I'll have to either wait for a patch or downgrade.

Did you ever figure out the sdcard problem? I just got the same card and want to do the same thing. But the phone wont see the second partition at all.

i have similar problem too

HELP: I accidentally wiped OS off my phone in TWRP

I'm a newbie with this.. I got my Nexus 5x a few weeks ago. With the instruction of someone else i unlocked the boot loader and rooted my phone. then i had an issue with boot looping after some customization on my phone. so i attempted to wipe all that stuff off my phone is TWRP and i accidentally checked system. Now what do i do? Now i don't really know what a rom is or adb side loader or something like that.. i need some simple and clear instructions to get my phone working again. preferably without having to root all over again (that was exhausting and quite difficult, lots of trial and error).. but if it won't be rooted anymore, it's better than nothing. Please help!!

You only removed system you should still be able to get into bootloader.
Turn phone off, hold the volume down button then power button.
Should go to a screen with a android man laying down and it saying fastboot mode in red.

Download and install this http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Wait for it to load the try auto detect on the window that pops up, if that doesn't work select "nexus 5x" and then on the next one choose the one ending with "mhc19q" click next/continue.
then on the next window click download and update all dependances.
What for it to do its thing then on the next window click on "flash stock + unroot", click ok,

@starlitserenity, I can help you get an OS back onto your phone. It's very simple even though you may be a NOOB. It's OK. As long as you have access to a PC and Internet you are OK because you can still access TWRP. Here is a list of steps:
1) go to forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development
2) scroll down to the ROM labeled
"Pure Nexus"
3)In the first post (Original Post), scroll down and click on "Downloads & Changelog" You will be redirected to AFH (Android File Host) to download the ROM/OS
4)Scroll down just a little and you will see a Green Box with files/ROMs. Click on the newest one labeled
pure_Nexus_bullhead-6.0.1-20160407.
After you click on the ROM file, a new screen will appear with a Green Box that says "Begin Download".
5) Click on " Begin Download"
Once you click the "Begin Download" box, you will see below another Green Box that says "primary download". Click on the " Primary Download " box to begin downloading your new ROM/OS.
6) Go back to the Pure Nexus original post/first post and click on the link labeled "Highly Suggested Gapps"
You will be redirected to Android File Host again to download your Gapps(GoogleApps). Scroll down just a little to the Green Box again and select
PureNexus_Dynamic_Gapps_6.x.x_4-7-16.zip and click on the link.
7) A new screen will appear with a Green Box that says "Begin Download"
Click on the "Begin Download" box and just below another Green Box will appear that says "primary download".
Click on the " primary download " and this will download you Gapps.
8) Once both of your files have finished downloading onto your PC, boot your 5x into TWRP and connect it to your PC and let the drivers install so your Nexus is recognized by your PC.
9) Now that your 5x is recognized by your PC while booted into TWRP, you will need to move the 2 downloaded files from your PC's download folder to the internal storage of your 5x.
10) Now that you have moved both downloaded files to your Nexus 5x internal storage you will need to reboot your recovery. Select the home button in TWRP, select reboot, then select reboot recovery to reboot TWRP. This will all TWRP to recognize the two new files that were moved to your Nexus internal storage.
11) Unplug your Nexus from your PC. On your device, go to the TWRP home screen and select wipe, then swipe to factory reset. Now you are ready to install your new ROM and Gapps
12) Now that you have wiped the 5z again, select the TWRP home button. Next, select "Install". Navigate to your SD card/internal storage to locate the two files we moved to your Nexus from your PC. Select the file that says
pure_nexus_bullhead-6.0.1-20160407
Once selected you will be directed to a new TWRP screen and you will see a box to click on that says " Add More Zips" Click this box and navigate to the SD card/internal storage and select the 2nd file that says PureNexus_Dynamic_GApps_6.x.x_4-7-16.zip. Once you have selected the file you will be directed to another TWRP screen with a swipe button to install the ROM file and the Gapps file. Swipe the button to begin the installation.
13) Once the installation is complete, you will see a box that says wipe cache/dalvik. Select this box, wipe cache/dalvik, then select reboot system.
14) Once your device boots you will proceed to the setup wizard just like when your Nexus 5x was new out of the box. Go through the setup wizard to setup your device and once completed, reboot, and you will be back to normal with a pretty sweet custom ROM called Pure Nexus.

Then flash nexus factory images. and go stock. You can skip flashing recovery or you can flash recovery again. You will lose root access. you have to flash supersu again

Update? We're you able to install a new ROM and get your 5x back up and running?

Question Xiaomi K40 Became A Brick

Hi peeps, my Xiaomi K40 now became a brick because it can't be installed any ROM, I've tried using TWRP and also mi flash tool but nothing helps.
When using TWRP I've tried two methods:
1/ adb sideload
2/ Install from a zip file which is pushed to device using adb push command(because now the device doesn't have any OS)
But in both cases it shown:
Failed to mount '/system_root' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/system_ext' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/product' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/vendor' (Block device required)
Failed to mount '/odm' (Block device required)

I've also tried to wipe all data using Advance Wipe option to repair the partition but no hope.
Any one has solution for this case? thanks in advance!

Flash your device in EDL mode.
Please refer to the post below on how to bypass edl mode authentication.
[GUIDE] How to bypass authentication and flash in EDL with NO auth for FREE!​
Thanks to VD171 for his post.

I think your device is having a Snapdragon Chipset. Sorry but you may try to search on google for contact to person who has authorised edl account to flash a Snapdragon based phone.

listen to me, first if you are on windows 10 you should disable driver signature enforcement on your pc search it on google after disabling you should restart your pc, next step is to install xiaomi flash tool latest (02262021) version after installing the software open it, at the right upper of the software you will see drivers click it and click install after installing, reboot your phone into fastboot mode using volume down and power button, connect your phone to pc and click refresh on xiaomi flash tool if you're phone is detected please come back here let me know

last week I was in a similar situation like yours just twrp and all partition screwed up.
well what saved me was to put dot os 5.2 on a USB c pen drive and then simply installing it from trwp (choosing USB pen as source) after literally 5-10 minutes phones came back to life.
let me know if it works for you.
also if twrp throws any error during installation just ignore them for me after flash completed phone booted just fine

I said USB pen to make sure you choose it from TWRP install I think the righ name is external storage or something similar anyway it seems you are doing things the right way I am quite sure u ll bring phone back to life.
I think muiu room is just fine, should it fails try crDroid or dot os (do not try arrow or lineage)

Bruh I have a very simple solution I guess it might help you
Well first update to latest official twrp custom recovey for your device then
Navigate to Wipe
advance Wipe
Select data and choose Repair or Change File System
Press Repair File System to see if this fixes the issue. If not, continue.
Press Change File System, choose Ext2, and swipe to confirm.
now switch back to Ext4 and swipe to confirm.
i hope this might help you BTW then flash your first custom rom using a sd card or usb if succeeded then flash every stuff as usual

Thanks, I've tried this before, unfortunately still can't solve my problem. Finally I decided to bring my phone to a technician.

Try fastboot erase userdata in cmd after taking your device to fastboot mode
Kinda check different twrp I think your twrp is having any problems plz flash your twrp once again
I hope this will surely work for you my friend.

Bro try different formats then change to Ext4 well try this twrp https://dl.twrp.me/alioth/twrp-3.6.0_11-0-alioth.img.html umm i hope this will help you out completely.

if you still have your fastboot mode (turn off then hold power + vol. down), you should check your pc driver if adb and fastboot driver installed properly, then try flashing stock rom (dont relock your bootloader), I think what cause the brick is encrypted storage that get accessed by twrp, even if you decrypt it using password, you can still brick the phone by manually mount some partition in twrp

Thank you all of your help, peeps. Finally I solved my problem by the help of a technician. Because only technician has access to Xiaomi internal tools, these are "Hardware-Level" which could help in these cases.

Hello, glad you solved your issue, but can you please explain briefly how hardware was bricked since you were already able to reach fastboot & twrp? Since it's known that when you can boot to fastboot, it's a softbrick

I can boot to fastboot but I can't do anything with fastboot becuase I wiped out anything on my phone include "firmware" maybe, I don't know, sorry but this's not my major so I can't explain.

Hello, dear owners of this beautiful device.
After an unsuccessful attempt to get root, such a warning appeared, plus the ability to lock the screen disappeared. As a result, I didn't get root either and problems arose)
Could you show the instructions how to fix everything step by step and get root? Thanks)

Hey, so I have the same problem as you. I was installing the patched boot.img file when I rebooted, but there was no magsik app. After I tried to flash the same file again, except I put in some vbmeta file because some website said so, now my phone's files are corrupted. I got into fastboot mode and put through recovery mode, and did a data wipe and one final reboot, but even that did work because it said my phone is corrupt. The last thing I will try is to install TWRP, remove the old data, and install the update to restore the previous ROM files. I'll let you know if anything works. Just try ur methods and let me know if they worked. Sure is an expensive paperweight if it doesn't work...

Your boot loader must be unlock
Reboot to recovery, choose English when you see "Wipe data" type
adb reboot sideload
Once your phone boots into sideload mode (When you see the two error line at the bottom of the screen) type
adb sideload NX729J-update.zip
When the transfer is successful ( with a transfer of 2.0 display) you can wipe the data twice with the first and second options and reboot the phone. If you are lucky, the phone will boot

For QFIL, use Flat Build and in the configuration use ufs. Good luck!

Your version V4.18 will be replaced by V3.19. This V3.19 version can be flashed through edl mode. I could not find V4.18 in this format. The two roms are very similar. They are both global roms.

If QFIL does not work, you need to do side load the rom multiple times again then it might work!

turn off the red rm8 notification (Your device is broken. It is unreliable and may not work)
- enter command on PC: adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"
- on phone for rooted device with termux: reboot "dm-verity enforcing"

The command on PC shows "Too many arguments." The Termux one works. Thanks!
