Guys need some help here.
I was previously on 1.28 with ARHD 4.1.
Recently tried to flash to ARHD 5.1 but during flashing, phone was bricked. It's currently stucks at the htc logo homescreen.
I can enter CWM into recovery mode but I do not have any existing ROMS in my SDcard. I believe we can write into the SD card by using the ADB commands in terminal. But my ADB devices list is being shown as empty
I have installed the latest htc drivers. I suspect this could be because one have to manually select the USB debugging mode on the phone upon plugging in. But since my phone is bricked, how do I go about enabling this option? Kind of lost now
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
If you can enter in recovery then it is not bricked. Try to mount storage in recovery and put zip file and reflash. Sorry cant help much myself but dont worry someone will tell you exactly what to do. I can reassure you, your phone is not bricked.
Cheers
If you can enter recovery, under mounts and storage or something there's an option called Mount USB Storage. Use that to connect your phone like a thumbdrive to your computer and you can flash any zip file from there. Also, did you flash the boot.img for ARHD via fastboot?

yes. i had flashed the boot.img file prior to it. i had tried the mount usb storage option but my computer ( have tried both mac & pc) , doesn't seem to pick up the device.

Don't worry you can push files thru adb on to the sdcard, i did it few days back to recover from a similar situation.
The way to get adb working is by booting the phone directly from the recovery image rather than using the recovery on your phone.
Firstly, in case you aren't already using it, get the latest CWM recovery so that you may charge your phone in case its low on battery.
Secondly, get into fastboot mode and boot directly into recovery. (Not very sure about the syntax right now so not writing it here, search the forum.. its there somewhere)
Next, make sure sdcard & data are mounted in the recovery under "mounts & storage".
Now you can check if adb is working thru devices (most probably it should). Once that is confirmed, you are ready to push files thru adb & flash them.
Hope this helps...
problem solved. +)
cheers to all!
have a great day ahead!
Hey guys,
So I'm an idiot, and I formatted my internal SD card, my data and my system, forgetting to re-flash a new ROM before rebooting, and needless to say it won't boot. I was running CM 10.1, and it loads until the Galaxy s3 logo, with the CM dude chilling, and does not go any farther.
I can get it into DL mode and recovery mode, however in recovery mode, I am unable to mount my sd card. I do not have an external SD so I'm unable to load from that. I also don't have access to a strong internet connection, so I can't download a stock image and use odin.
I planned on using ADB to sideload a zip to install, however I can not get my computer to recognize my device. It did not have USB debugging enabled, as I had reset it to factory settings ahead of time. When I use device manager, it can not locate new drivers, and says no driver is installed. I've tried downloading samsungs drivers, but they don't seem to install properly.
If I leave it at the boot screen, it IS recognized by ADB, however nothing can be done, as it's not booted, or in recovery mode. I'm not really sure what else I can do other than waiting until I'm able to download a stock image and use Odin. I'd like to be able to sideload with ADB, but I can't figure out how to get my device to be recognized while in recovery mode. I'm using CWM 6.0.2.3.
Hopefully someone can shed some light!
OK if I can recall (since I only used CWM a couple times) there should be an option to mount your storage via USB in recovery (both internal and external SDs). Try doing that and see if it works.
With out USB debugging turned on, in my previous experiences, I was also not able to use ADB at all.
So if CWM mount doesn't work, I think you're either going to have to wait to flash thru Odin or buy an external SD to flash a ROM from there.
Glad to see someone speaks XDA from all the Q's being asked lol

If you have an OTG cable, you can use that to access external memory, instead of a microSD card.
If adb can communicate with the phone at the boot screen, can you adb push the file you want to sideload, or is the phone not writable?

It recognizes it however it says its offline.
My computers don't recognize my Asus Zenfone 2 Ze551ml. I've installed the intel drivers, the asus drivers, the google android drivers. I've restarted, tried different USB ports, tried different computers, and tried different USB wires but to no avail.
I originally wanted to unroot so that I could apply OTA updates but I couldn't get into recovery, all the phone does is restart into bootloader again. All the solutions I read require me to use ADB or get into recovery and since I can't get into recovery or get any computer to recognize the phone I seem to be stuck.
I haven't updated the OTA since 2.18.40.12 version. Can anyone help me figure out how to update my phone or get my computer to recognize it?

Thanks for the reply Asus_USA,
Unfortunately, both the links you sent me don't work on my phone. For the first link (hardware reset/wipe cache partition) it asks me to go into fastboot mode, which I can do no problem, it then tells me to go into recovery mode. I can scroll down with my volume keys to the 'recovery mode' option but when I hit the power key to reboot the phone into recovery mode, it just reboots back into fastboot mode.
The second link (manual firmware update) asks me to download the update from the ASUS website, which I can do with no problem and then attach the phone to the computer and transfer the zip file to the root of my internal storage, I can't do this because the computer doesn't recognize my phone and therefore doesn't allow me to copy anything into it.
Let me know if you have any other ideas!
Thanks,

You can download the file directly to your phone from chrome by going to the download site on your phone. Also try setting your phone to PTP mode when it is plugged in and see if anything changes in device manager.
Or take out the sd card and copy to that, once back in phone you can then copy or move...

Tried it this way and then rebooted the phone. The phone recognized that there was an update file, and when I allowed it to install it rebooted into the Fastboot screen and then did nothing. I waited a half hour before touching the phone. When I rebooted the phone it didn't update and nothing had changed.

I tried downloading the file from online and the same thing happened as with the SD Card. When I restarted the phone it recognized that there was an update file and asked me if I wanted to install it. I clicked yes, it thought for about 30 seconds and then rebooted the phone into fastboot mode. Nothing happened after that and I had to choose the 'Reboot' option to start the phone back up; nothing had changed and the update did not work.
PTP mode doesn't seem to affect anything. My computer still doesn't recognize the phone.
I should also mention that the phone *does* charge when plugged into the computer.
Maybe u r having drivers issues

I have. I tried it on 2 desktops and 3 different laptops, I installed the necessary drivers on all of them and tried using different USB cables. No luck.

Your PC won't recognize it, even in fastboot mode?
If it does you can flash a new recovery in fast boot by using the adb tools. To test attach phone in fastboot mode to pc and type in "fastboot devices".
If it detects the phone you will see your serial number come up. Then reflash the pre-rooted image. it might replace the screwed up files in your recovery.
Instead of the ADB drivers only though, use the flashtools found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3301263&d=1431011927 Say thankyou to Shakalaka... I was having trouble using ADB, you might need to update to the latest drivers, but the flashboot tools worked with no problem...
You need to put the pre-root.img file in the folder and after connecting phone via usb hold shift, rightclick inside flashtools folder and select "open command window here" from drop down menu.
Then try the fastboot devices command.
Afterwards you can either flash the recovery again back to stock or flash the pre-rooted image and see if that fixes it.
You can find stock recovery,droidboot.img files and boot.img files here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/orig-development/rom-pre-root-img-t3079590
Again, BIG thanks to Shakalaka.

Thanks for directing me to that thread, it looks like, unfortunately, I have lost root access over the course of trying different solutions... Anyone know of a way to allow terminal to access root without superuser?
i have the same problem, computer sees my device in fastboot but i cant flash anything through recovery, everything is whiped i have no system on phone now i tried everything.
when i use adb drivers suggested in post above it says outdated server and still doesnt see my device in recovery mod.
i tried on 2 computers
i tried stock recovery matching my stock rom
i tried twrp
in general it says on my phone"you need sdb 1.0.32 or higher" but i use 1.3 version (15 secs install)
any suggestions?
thats the first phone ive ever bricked and i'm panicking right now...

Sorry for such a delayed response, I haven't logged in and checked my messages in a while. This issue was fixed for me randomly. I kept plugging my phone into my computer and it eventually recognized it (after about 60 different tries). I quickly added adb, unlocked, rooted and have been having no issues since then. I appreciate your link! Hopefully it helps others in the future.
So I did the factory reset option in TWRP, rebooted the device before installing a new rom and now i'm stuck in a boot loop everytime I try to power on. I was running ViperM9 and was going to switch back rooted stock but now all my backups and roms are wiped from phone and SD card.
When I plug my phone into the computer it fails to install the proper drives every time. I've tried downloading the correct drives independently on the computer and it's still a no go. Then I tried connecting my microsd xc (64gb) to my computer via the SD adapter and the USB adapter it came with. Also doesn't work. The computer recognizes it as a "mass storage device" but won't let me move any files to it.
My brain is fried for the night and hoping I can find some help on here. I can still boot my phone into recovery mode so I'm hoping I can still salvage the situation. I'd like to get my phone working again without losing my root access because I don't want to have to send off to a java key angel again. Lol. I appreciate any and all insights on the matter.

Sounds like your sdcard failed. You said you can get into recovery, so try getting ahold of another sdcard with Viper ROM zip file on it and flash it.
Boot to the bootloader and flash an RUU using fastboot. An sdcard is not needed, only working adb/fastboot drivers. S-Off status will be unaffected. Root can be regained by installing superSU from recovery.
Get RUU from this thread by cmlusco and twrp from here
Reboot the phone into bootloader mode
Open a command prompt
Fastboot OEM rebootRUU (This assumes you have working drivers in windows. If you're having trouble, use the google drivers and just force windows to use it. In bootloader select the bootloader interface driver, for adb, select the adb interface driver. These are the only two drivers I use but they must be selected manually, windows will not automatically install them for the M9. You might have to do this a couple times.)
fastboot flash zip "path and name of RUU.zip" (This will take probably 10 - 20 minutes to complete but will give status updates.)
Get coffee
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Enter stock recovery
Factory reset
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "path and name of twrp image"
Boot to system
Download superSU
Reboot to recovery
Install superSU
Reboot to system
You should now have a stock rooted phone

There are many ways. This one uses a computer to send the updates. Having the proper file on the sdcard is another way and bypasses the need for working adb and fastboot drivers which seem to be a pain point for a lot of users.

Yes. It must have a special name and be in the root of the sdcard. I don't remember exactly what the name is for the M9 but it is posted in the RUU threads.

Hi it seems like you've deleted the OS on your phone ( not sure though) but it seems like that cause I've faced the same issue with my Motorola phones, but anyway here's what you should try :-
1) boot into recovery mode while connected to pc.
2) now your phone's internal storage will be shown on PC, just copy the ROM that you want to install to the internal storage of your device. Now flash this ROM using the recovery.

Theres something wrong with the partitions, the phone bootloops even going into recovery
It only goes to bootloader mode where you can see phone info and such. Fastboot works in bootloader mode thru adb but ive tried flashing different recoveries it doesnt work.

Can you post some pictures of your phone, when in recovery mode, and does your phone's internal storage shows up when connected to computer in recovery mode.
If you don't have a recovery installed then download the TWRP or ORANGE FOX RECOVERY and flash it on your Android using the adb and fastboot commands.
