Hi there,
First I have installed CWM with the method I had to use the codes "adb reboot bootloader"... and so on and It worked perfectly.
I wanted to install the Envi ROM and on the tutorial there was said I first should install the Base ROM and then after restarting I should install the Envi ROM. After installing the Base ROM my CWM was gone. Now I can't install it anymore. I tried the following install methods:
-The one I've mentioned already <- Doesnt work because my PC says it does not know the command abd
-The install.bat method <- Does not work because my phone does not get recognized, despite I have all the drivers installed.
-The RecoverX method <- Does not work because my phone does not get recognized, despite I have all the drivers installed.
-The RecoverX app <- The says that installing CWM worked normally, but still I have no CWM
-The install.bat method directly on my phone <- SManager does not run the .bat even I ran it with the proper rights and adjustments

Did You try flashing a kernel with pre installed recovery? You can flash it using fastboot directly or flashtool.
Also, the command is adb, not "abd". Plus if windows doesn't recognize adb command, then the adb.exe is not in the folder from where You are running the command prompt from.

You can install the DoomKernel, it has pre installed recovery. You can flash it via flashtool fastboot. But do note, You have to be on stock ROM.
adb.exe is usually in the flashing files.

I have my phone connected in fastboot mode and the fastboot.exe and the kernel are in the same directory.
When I type: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf it only says "waiting for device"...

To connect Your phone in fastboot, You have to switch off Your phone. Then press & hold volume up and then connect the phone to Your PC.

I know that and I did that, but still my device cannot be detected.
I started Ubuntu (Live CD) installed adb und fastboot and tried it there... same result?
Is something wrong is my phone?
I don't think the drivers have been installed properly. Install fastboot and flash mode drivers from flashtool, it has drivers in it's folder. Else if even that doesn't work, install "Sony Update Service", and it will install required drivers.
Edit: I'm giving You instructions for Windows, are You using Ubuntu or was that just a trial?

I am using Windows. I installed from flashtool and I did not work, I am gonna try Sony Update Service now.
I tried Ubuntu because somebody said me that Ubuntu will detect all the drivers automaticly and there would be no detection problem...
Edit: After INSTALLING Update Service, I still get the same Message "Device not found" Should I run my phone through update Service too?
Why did it not work on my phone with smanager?

I suppose your phone is Xperia S.
If you have unlocked the boot loader , then Sony Official Softwares wont work. If your boot loader is still locked and this error is occurring then its mistake from your side.
I guess by Base ROM you meant official ROM. So if you were on official ROM, did you check for Root Privileges, Busy Box is installed etc ??
Im using Xperia Ion so the steps might be different but results all are same.
Try different methods, it will work.

By Base Rom I mean the following; I wanted to use the Envi Rom and for this Rom a Base Rom should be installed first.
I have unlocked Bootloader. Busybox is installed and Root Priviliges are given. Before installing the Base ROM I used the APP "Smanager" and I ran the install.sh with the app and then the CWM was there. But now that doesnt work anymore and DeliverX does also not work.
And all methods which require connection to PC won't work because those methods say my device is not detected or connected. I installed CWM on my phone and on other phones several times and never I had thode problems...

Do one thing, check Your Device Manager. Disconnect Your phone, Open Device Manager, then connect Your phone again. See if the Device Manager gets refreshed. If it does, Your device is being connected to the PC. Then check for Xperia S or anything related to Sony under "Other Devices" or other similar areas. Then right click on it to install drivers.

My phone is getting showed under "Tragbare Geräte" which means portable devices. When I right click on it says:

If I click on Update drivers the message shows, that the best driver is already installed.

Could You translate what the yellow mark text is? I think the device is recognized wrongly or wrong drivers were installed for it. Unfortunately, I don't know much about Ubuntu.

With other ROMS I was able to install a CWM from my phone (with the deliverx app or a script manager app), but for this rom this doesnt work anymore.
So is there a way to install an other ROM without CWM (and when I have this ROM I would try if installing CWM directly with an app works again)?

Unfortunately Your device is not being detected as an adb device. The problem would be solved if somehow it is detected in adb or if You are able to install recovery from cell. I will try to check out more. Say, did You try the goo manager app, twrp manager or rom maanager to install recovery?

I will Try Goo and TWRPG Manager. Rom Manager does not work with Xperia S I already tried it.
EDIT:
1. Goo Manager does not work. I installed the Open Recovery.img and then I tried to install the ROM (eXistenZ V2 Black) but it only restarts my phone <- Does not work
2. TWRPG Manager does not even the TWRPG Recovery.
3. Previously I used this App to install CWM and it worked. Now I used the App and the App said installed CWM worked but There is no CWM on my phone (or it can't get started neither manually by pressing up nor automatically with an App which reboots me into CWM). <-Does no work.
4. On other time I used this App to run the cwm-install.ch on my phone. It worked and CWM was on my phone. Now the script does not run and therefore CWM also cannot be installed with this method. <- Does not work.
5. After all that, today I tried to install an official Rom with Sony PC Companion (and then starting from 0 with an other ROM, to try all the other stuff again) but It says I cannot install the official ROM Update. because, I do not have the official ROM installed, <- Does not work
I dont know what to do anymore.

Hi. I recently rooted my phone Xperia S (LT26i) and unlocked its bootloader. I had installed CWM and TWRP recovery in the phone and I have ADB and Fastboot(Android SDK) in my computer. I had earlier flashed CWM but it wasn't working so I flashed TWRP. I had downloaded a custom ROM and Gapps in the PC and I extracted the zip files and copied them into the phone (this was a mistake). I went into TWRP and did factory reset, erased cache and wiped dalvik cache unknowingly:silly: Now I can't flash ROM or Gapps and I cannot boot normally. Earlier, ADB used to recognize the device and now it doesn't. When I turn on the phone, the Sony logo appears and pink light glows. But it doesn't go beyond that. It repeatedly restarts the phone till the splash screen. Now I can't boot the phone normally Please help, guys.
P.S. I saw a post suggesting to enter a code in the Terminal module of TWRP but it's not working.

I'v got almost similar problem right now, but beyond that I'v flashed custom kernel to mine.
I hope someone will post here soon
edit: the kernel name is Open SEMC
but I think I can get to fast boot, so changing kernel should not be problem. But how to get some ROM to the phone, when I can't connect it anyhow?

If You both are able to boot into recovery(twrp), I recommend You boot into twrp, connect the phone to pc. Then Let the drivers install. After it, start the adb, use this command to command to check if Your device is connected:
Code:
adb devices
Copy the ROM zip to the folder of adb.
Then push the file to sdcard using:
Code:
adb push finlename.zip /sdcard
where filename.zip is Your ROM.

or perhaps you need to install the drivers. download flashtool, install flashtool, boot to disabling driver signature in win8 (google how to do this), install flashtool's driver (i chose everything that has xperia s in it ), reboot your phone to twrp, plug your phone to pc. open device manager, then you'll see that there's exclamation mark in xperia s device, choose install/update driver, choose browser my computer, choose let me pick, choose android adb (sony adb). then simply type adb devices in cmd to test it.
that's all. perhaps there are some steps that arent necessary, but that's how i remember i done it.

Hi, I have a rooted Desire 816 currently running unofficial CM12. Before this, it will detect my phone, and thats how I root it and install custom recovery, but now, I tried to go back to stock but I couldn't get adb to work. It kept saying ADB error no device found.
Any help? I've already installed the HTC driver, same. Went to fastboot mode, on the phone it says fastboot USB but nothing happened.
In CM12 did you go into developer settings and enable adb?
yes i did. and it even showed up in the status bar. but still the same.

Then you don't have the proper drivers. You know adb and fastboot are different right? The rooting process doesn't involve adb, only fastboot. They're separate things and require separate programs to work.
Yes. But fastboot not working either. It's stuck at <waiting for device> and I can't lock the bootloader or flash the firmware.

Try to redownload fastboot, and uninstall then reinstall the HTC drivers. If that doesn't work your screwed.
Try this, its a program that tethers internet from your phone to your pc. It has all the drivers you can possibly need. I use it when I cant find the drivers to my phone online. Friends use this when adb devices dosnt show up with anything. Its worked for me 100% of the time. http://pdanet.co/ (just download the windows exe file and follow the directions. I believe you have to keep your phone plugged in during installation but I cant remember)

How about this. Put a nandroid of stock on your device. Plug it in the PC and create a folder called "clockworkmod" then inside there create one called "backup" now usually you have to move your nandroid to the root of your phone but if you use Philz Recovery, you can change the directory it searches for backups so it will be on your regular internal memory.
Drew recommended a flashing program for recoveries before. It was called Rashr.
Use that to flash Philz recovery.
Then just flash the nandroid and boot up.
Now remove root, flash a stock recovery, then relock your bootloader. Factory restore afterwards and your done.
Also, make sure if you factory restore that your nandroid backup never used titanium backup to remove any system apps as it might make your device act out with force closes. If you have done that either find a full stock with just root backup or use an RUU.
Done.

Hi guys.
The phone is Xperia S.
I have installed CWM and wiped all partitions (except for sdcard) in order to prepare the phone for CM12.1 install.
Now I understand that my CWM version is outdated (5.5.0.4) and I need to install TWRP (which I had had installed before).
The problem is that when I plug in the phone, Windows registers it as MTP USB Device and I cannot uninstall/change drivers. adb devices lists no devices and I cannot do anything with the phone now.
Also, I have twrp.img on sdcard, but I'm not sure how to install it from CWM. When I was running TWRP before, adb was working fine.
So, I guess my problem can be fixed in two ways:
Install TWRP from CWM. I have twrp.img on sdcard, but CWM won't let me install it, I can't see it listed in file list.
Uninstall/change drivers for "MTP USB Device" so that adb works again.
Any help would be appreciated, as I cannot install anything on my phone now, and all I have is a CWM recovery on it.

Thanks for the suggestion.
When I turn off the phone, press and hold UP button and then connect the phone to PC, the blue light lights up as it should. However, after ~10 seconds, blue light goes away and the phone goes to CWM recovery.
Therefore, I'm unable to execute adb commands during this short time period.

Then Your fastboot drivers are not installed.
Disconnect Your phone from PC.
Open command prompt and run this command:
Code:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
and then open device manager, Choose View, Show Hidden Devices. Then uninstall any device with Xperia S and/or android in it. Then install the flashtool, fastboot, and every Xperia S related drivers from drivers pack in flashtool. I see that You use Windows 8/8.1, hence You need to follow a different method to install drivers. You can find that method here. Then follow the method I mentioned before.

Yes, fastboot is usable.However, when I do the usual vbmota whatever disable thing and twrp boot, it simply doesn't boot into TWRP at all. I can go into the Pixel Experience recovery by the usual recovery keys, but I don't think I can do much of anything with that.
