I accidently wiped and formatted my directories sdcard data and system. After that when I started my phone only the logo appeared.
I managed to get CWM on it. Becuase there is no data on it I can't install the Rom from my phone directories. When I choose install with sideload this doesn't work because adb sideload says "device not found"
The phone only boots in fastboot and in CWM Recovery. All correct adb drivers are installed.
What can I do to:
a)Install Rom via adb sideload?
b)Copy Rom.zip to my phone to install it with Recovery?
c)use another way to install the custom rom?

That would be c) Use Flashtool and flash, ofcourse in flashmode a new ROM. Make a clean install. Best choice.
Here's the TUTORIAL : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
P.S. Flashtool will work with your phone too, so use it without worries.
Thank you very much. This tutorial requires the Stock Rom for my Xperia S, the only link I found with the German Stock Rom was from uploaded and i accidently broke up the download and I don't want to wait until I can download again.
a) Can I use this Rom, since it is a modified version of the Stock Rom? - Where in the zip is the tft I need?
b) Where else can I get the Stock Xperia S Rom?
Use this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320184
And you can find all the useful information in that link,about the ftf and all.

I tried the rom manager but it can't extract the default recovery. However what I get now by searching for many hours that what I want is dumping the stock recovery and stock bootloader and combining into single .img file i.e bootl.img and recovery.img that I able to push back furing the normal running to get the stock recovery back and the bootloader without the ICE Engineer version showing after I flash the custom rom
twrp have the better ui but the one I found for 6200 have some problems I not remember but it had some issue mounting the system for wipe I think so I use the CMW instead both are good and perform the required function I suppose

Hi.
I'm trying to unlock my bootloader on Xperia S in order to flash CM11 ROM.
I followed this website: unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and I'm stuck at #9.
Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.

Try reinstalling the recovery, don't know I would recommend you to use doomlord's guides bro U can't fail
To flash the rom, go to recovery / install zip/ install zip from sdcard0 , select and flash it , don't forget to do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache which is in advanced option in recovery

You can't enter to recovery if you don't have one whoa, You need to install the kernel which contains the recovery via fastboot(you need fasboot binaries you can find them in Sdk/platform-tools). Give me your hangouts if you need more help

Flashing TWRP would require unlocked bootloader. First unlock Your bootloader, then follow the procedure from here.
From Your other post, it turns out You cannot unlock bootloader, so You can flash only sock based ROM's which work on Stock kernel.

Method 1. You need recovery for method 2. If You have unlocked bootloader, You can simply flash the DoomKernel too. You can find it here. Use the blue "Download Now" button, and the file has .elf extension. You can flash it via flashtool, it consists of CWM and TWRP and works with stock ROM.

I think I messed up my S
Hi
Trying to root my S and install nAOSProm I followed the instructions in the main thread. I successfully unlocked the bootloader and got the device rooted (SuperSU installed and updated in play store), but when attempting to use the TWRP manager to install TWRP I just got an error message that it wasn't successful. I then did this as I read earlier in this thread: fastboot flash boot 2.8.4.1.img. When I started the phone, it immediately boots into the TWRP but I can't get anywhere from there. Impossible to continue to the OS. When I connect it to the computer I just get an exclamation point in the device manager and I can't seem to find the correct drivers (I've installed the FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack). The phone worked perfectly in windows in both normal mode and fastboot previously. Since the phone doesn't have an external memory card, and since I can't transfer any files to it from Windows, I'm stuck in TWRP.
Is it bricked or can I get out of here?

Flash stock firmware ftf using flash mode in flashtool and then follow the instructions from here.
Or else:
Boot Your phone into recovery. Connect it to PC. Right click on the device in Device Manager, select update drivers, "browse my computer", then "let me pick from list" then select the driver similar to "Sony a0109 ADB drivers" (number may vary). Then You will be able connect to phone via adb. Then use following command to push the ROM and gapps to the phone internal memory:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/
This will copy the the ROM and gapps to phone which You can flash via recovery easily then.
worked perfectly! thanks for your time and help, much appreciated!
i flashed new firmware to my htc one m8
I got into recovery and changed the name firmware file.
but now in the recovery it doesn't recognize my internal storage, kind of. it says 0 mb.
And when I try via adb to push a file to it it fails. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)
so it seems like i only have the external card now working.
what can I do?
I'm currently in the stage where i have the firmware file in the right name and it keeps asking me to update, if i remove the external card, i can get into recovery change the name, and then i see it won't read the internal storage like i wrote up here.
but after I change the name i can get into fastboot mode.
I currently have recovery mode - twrp 2.8.0.3
p.s I think my internal storage does work, cause i can go into recovery mode(twrp), my external_sd was formmated
before i used to update the firmware, so it has nothing except for that file
You're not flashing the firmware through recovery, are you?
No, i flashed, with the guide here, via an external card, changing the name of the firnware so the hboot would recognize it.. and update it

I have TWRP 2.8.0.6. You can download TWRP manager from Play Store, it has a list of TWRP versions you can install. The app installs them too. Everytime I used the app to install it, it says it failed but it actually works, just install, then say ok to the failed install pop up and reboot into recovery and it'll be there.
Edit: As soon as the firmware has flashed successfully, boot up and delete the firmware file off of your external SD card so it doesn't keep asking you to update.

I have no OS now.
I need to download it, and flash it via fastboot. I'm wondering if that's the problem that the internal storage is giving me these problems or it has nothing to do with it.
Does a different firmware require different twrp versions?

Not as far as I know. Your best bet man is probably to download an RUU and just flash that through fastboot or the external sd card method. Then after that, flash the TWRP then put a ROM zip on your phone and flash that way.

No, an RUU is a complete system install. Completely stock with the exception of some RUUs contain root. But it will wipe everything on your phone, all your personal data and what not.
Please help me, regarding Android System Recovery
I actually thought I was booted into CWM Recovery, but I ended up booting into Android System Recovery. And I happen to wipe partition and factory reset already.
Now there is no rom to boot, and I am unable to flash custom rom due to the signature verification errors.
Is there anyway for me to recover from this?
Would appreciate your help.
Have you tried using Odin via download mode?

Yes that's what I did, but I seem to be not able to get to CWM Recovery and it always goes to Android System Recovery.
Anyway I recovered my system by flashing a stock rom so that I can restart.
How can I install CWM Recovery properly and make the device boot to CWM?

This is normal behaviour. After you restore using Odin, recovery would always be Android System Recovery. You need to flash a CWM recovery via temporary CWM first, to get CWM recovery.
Lookup for temporary CWM here in forum. And you'll find the thread that I mean.

I am not able to download the zip file, as it needs to download from an installer and run the installer from there. I ran through the whole step but did not end up with the update.zip.
Are there other ways for me to get the zip file, preferably through a direct download or torrent website?

Thanks.... I do not need the file already.
The new CM11 rom by Chrono has been installed and running already. However, I am not able to connect via Wifi to my router.
What could be the issue?
So far I have tried:
ace2nutzer: cm-11-20150714-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip
ChronoMonochrome: cm-11-20150730-UNOFFICIAL-codina-universal.zip
Both the wifi are not working. I was not able to connect to my D-Link 868L router.
