Superwiped without rom

Hi!
I think I may have bricked my phone. I superwiped but I forgot to put a ROM
so now I have nothing on my phone.
Can I flash a ROM from my computer to my phone?
Thx in advance!

Flash a stock image using the Google images, then you can re-flash a custom one

If you still have cwr, mount USB in cwr, put a rom on there, flash from. If you don't have a recovery, you should be able to adb push the recovery file and flash through boot loader, then mount USB in recovery, copy rom to phone, flash.

Fastboot and download mode are your friends ;-)

+1 What he said! /\
look at thread that has the odin stock rom

If you're a n00b then why on earth did you unlock the phone in the first place? Surely you should've researched what you were doing in case something like this happened?

all is very easy to fix
1. Change ROM name to rom.zip
adb shell
mount /data
exit
adb push rom.zip /data/media
Now reboot into recovery and flash ROM.

Its all in here

This has helped me out twice already, and its where the factory images will be when the OTAs start, so of you're impatient and want them as soon as you can get them here

I think we need to put up a sticky again explaining what "brick" means.

Did adb work before? Sounds like the drivers aren't installed properly
And if you are trying to use the images from what I linked earlier you need to be in fastboot not adb

Thx everybody for the help. I didnt know that you should use adb in recovery mode.

bricked?

My phone was just downloading a file and now it won't boot past the green HTC logo white screen. The last rom I was using was one of mikroms. I have tried to restore from a backup as well as flashing a new from via recovery. I get an error during installing boot.img- I even get errors when recovery boots up. I posted images of my hbootand recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use a newer recovery. I recommend 4EXT recovery touch. Also, you're probably gonna have to flash a new ROM. You also don't need to manually flash the boot.IMG since you're s-off.

I already tried installing a new from, what I was saying is that error about installing boot.img happened when it was trying to install the from via recovery. For right now I'm just trying to get the phone to boot up. I don't think a different recovery will make that happen

Well considering yours is super outdated, it could be. Older recoveries may not work right all the time. Thus being why they released later versions.

Dude, even if you don't think a diffrent recovory will help just do it anyway. You can't break your phone anymore than it already is.

Had this happen a while back. Had to run a stock ruu, then reload recovery, then flash super user for root.

You're on an old radio, too. Probably the recovery is the culprit, though.
Sent from my vivow using xda app-developers app

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I'll try to flash a new recovery tonight and if that doesn't work I'll try updating radios. I'll post back with results. Cheers!

Well Im basically stuck. My computer will not recognize the inc. I have never synced this device up with this computer when it was up and running. Only with my rezound. Either way when the device is connected adb will not recognize the device as well as the computer will not recognie the usb device. Every file i try to push to it in bootloader i get error messages that device was not found. Tried fastboot flashing a new recovery as well as new radios but no luck. Ive also reinstalled htc sync, then removed. Recognizes my rezound no problem

if you have a micro->sd card adapter, place the recovery onto the root of it then go into CWM and install from sdcard, see if that works

Are you saying to install the new recovery zip, in recovery? I didn't think you could do that, and it didn't work. I've tried flashing new radios but it gets stuck on the very last part of the update and freezes until I take the battery out.

I only tried in the boot loader. So you're saying connect it to the computer while in recovery, and then run the fast boot flash recovery command?

The computer does recognize the device when i go into recovery. Then when i run the flash recovery command through adb it says waiting for device. It will not show sending recovery though until i go into bootloader on the device. Then adb shows "okay" and "writing recovery....." It will show this forever until i unplug the device.

Try adb wait for device after that

not quite sure exactly what you mean by that...just keep waiting while it says waiting for device while in recovery? I waited about 20 minutes..then tried waiting another 30 minutes while it was saying "writing recovery" while in bootloader

So im pretty sure the device is just done for at this point. I decided to just try to flash the device back to stock with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767.. This also just got stuck on the recovery section. Should i just give up? lol

In the dev section there is a tutorial on how to restore a phone from soft brick. I realize you're not actually soft bricked, but it has instructions about sideloading zip files to recovery. Might help you.

If you're using TWRP you can go to advanced>adb sideload and use the 'adb sideload <filename>' command to push a ROM to the phone which will then automatically install. That way you can avoid losing root.

Need Help Desperately! LGOG Stuck in CWM

Something happened to my phone while it was in my pocket tonight, I pulled it out after work and it's on the CWM main screen it tried to install some update zips that failed and now I can't reboot my phone, so it's pretty screwed up right now.
I can't seem to mount USB storage so it appears on my laptop, I figured if I could do that it would be as simple as flashing a new ROM but it doesn't seem to work.
Any help is appreciated, I will be watching the thread since I need this phone to work as I use it as my primary line.
I seem to have ADB access and my 3 backup files from FreeGee, they are aboot-sprint-backup, boot-sprint-backup and recovery-sprint-backup. Are those what I need to use to restore my phone and where do I flash each image to?

No I've never flashed a rom yet on my phone, was waiting for a more polished CM10.1. I've also wiped everything I can, system, davlik, cache, battery stats, fixed permissions.
What may have happened, and I'm not sure how it ended up into recovery mode, was I had the system update notification popping up and I kept hitting install later. Now some how my phone just unlocks itself and accepts and installs the update?! I have no idea, this phone quite literally has a mind of its own. It does complex operations with no one inputting commands.

Lgnpst might be the way to go. Hit up the irc.
Edit: don't leave your phone in recovery too long. You might hard brick.

I actually just found the side load a zip on the menu so I'm gonna try that as soon as I get a rom downloaded.
Edit: Sideload had no effect, I sideloaded the ZVB Stock Rooted Rom and it still only reboots into CWM.

The guys over at the irc are way smarter than I am. Head over there. They'll fix you up.

The issue is the reboot to recovery flag is set in your misc.
Run these commands from an adb shell to clear it:

Sideloading didn't work either. Alright, on to LGNSPT I guess.

[Q] can access bootloader, but there's a problem.

so, someone is selling a bricked or possibly soft bricked phone, the dude said that he was trying to unroot it and some how while he was s-on he ended up deleting the os. he says it boots to the bootloader and everything and he says that while he tries to sideload something it fails... is the phone bricked for good? or there's hope?

Collect some more answers prior to buying. But I would say as long as the display comes up and bootloader shows there is hope.
Fails while sideloading sometimes doesn't mean anything, as he has to sideload a ROM.zip while a backup would fail.

I just wanted to say that maybe I'm wrong and some others should confirm what I'm saying .
But from what I learned you could re-flash TWRP in this state and first flash a custom ROM such as ViperOne using adb sideload to get it up and running. From this point one could then revert to stock using the correct backup.
Would be interesting if the
fastboot getvar all
command comes up with the version-main and which cid and mid this One M8 has.

Ask him to buy a sdcard and put a ROM.zip on it then put it in his M8.
Then boot to recovery to install ROM (he deleted his OS so I believe the custom recovery still there)

I'm gonna ask him if he can get into the recovery and see if he has a custom one. Because if he does I'm sure I could just put a SD in there and get a nice m8 for about 220.

Ask him whether he installed a GPE ROM before ... I've seen many have problem when trying to unroot or back to Sense from a GPE.
Get the fastboot getvar all info from him. If his device is on bootloader/fastboot then he should be able to run this command. If he can have this info, then it just a soft brick.
Gotta go now ...

He doesn't know how to do "fastboot getvar all" then how can he said he was unable to install a recovery ?
I still believe, nothing is wrong with his M8, other than OS was deleted with a custom recovery ... a simple fix by placing a ROM.zip on external sdcard will fix it.
Can he get a screenshot/a pic of the bootloader ?

he says a friend is the one that helped him with all that, i think what im going to do is drive up there with a laptop and try to see if i can get the command through. so as long as i get fastboot getvar all i should be good to go.
by the sounds of it, he doesnt have a custom recovery, he says they tried installing it and failed, also he said something about uploading a rom (sideload i think?) and also failed. well see when i get my hands on it probably this Monday.
