Hi,
I was going to flash a custom rom and while wiping the data, I accidentally wiped the system. Now, thw phone wouldn't boot. I can still access twrp but adb wouldn't detect the device. Also, my usb port has something wrong with it. The device's files can only be accessed for 1 sec via a pc but it still charges. Need help...
Thanks!
Edit: SOLVED - There was something wrong with the PC I was using. I rebooted to recovery and connected to another PC and it worked. Next, I used did 'adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/' and then flashed the rom.

Just a moment ago I pushed my own custom framework-res to the phone. I had only edited some picture files inside it. After rebooting it worked correctly so I edited some more images, booted into clockworkmod recovery and tried to push in a new framework. But this time my adb just gave me an error "error: device offline".
After rebooting into revoked recovery I tried using adb again but with the same result. I also noticed that my computer suddenly installed all of the Android related drivers again, there were four different drivers it installed.
I thought it was because of my custom framework so I decided to flash my custom rom again. I didn't do a full wipe and after rebooting I got stuck in a bootloop.
So currently the only way I can access the phone is in fastboot. My computer recognizes the phone when it's in recovery but I can't use any adb commands. When I type adb devices it lists my devices but says it's offline. I tried doing the first step of the rooting process and it worked fine but after booting into recovery I tried doing the step2 but the device was still offline.
Is this because of my Windows drivers or did I screw up the Android system somehow?
You should have made a backup using nandroid. I though think you need to wipe.

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?

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!
I was looking to do a full wipe from TWRP and wanted to wipe data as well. Knowing that that would erase everything from the internal storage and not having an SD card available to me now I decided to wipe everything and then transfer the new ROM with adb commands.
Before wiping, I wanted to make sure that adb was working first. So I downloaded the Android SDK and booted to TWRP. Went to Advanced--->ADB Sideload and started the command prompt on my PC. From the folder were adb.exe was I typed "adb usb" and got error:device not found.
I don't know why but after 30 minutes trying to fix that I pressed the "Fix permissions" option in TWRP and now my phone is stuck at the boot logo every time I try to turn it on. I also noticed in Device Manager on my PC that every time I connect the phone to the PC that there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the phone which suggests that I don't have the needed drivers. However I tried to install versions 3.10 and the newest 3.12 and the exclamation mark is still there.
So my question is how do I reach the phone with ADB and transfer the flashable ROM zipfile so I can get the phone past the boot logo?
Well I'll answer myself if anybody has the same problem in the future. It was obviously the USB driver's fault and since none of the LG's drivers worked, I used Google's USB drivers and was able to adb sideload the ROM zip and now it's booting into the OS.
So always check your drivers people! In case LG's don't work, then use Google's!
I everyone,
I need your help, I tried to install a new rom (AICP : this one) , and somehow forgot to do a backup.
When I boot I only get the swirling logo, never get to fully load.
The phone is not bricked, I can still access the bootloader / fastboot and my recovery, so I could simply flash another rom... but I can't figure how to get the zip file on the /sdcard.
I can't use adb sideload or push, I have HTC sync and android sdk installed, I have no problem to use fastboot commands, so I guess I don't have any driver problem, but adb devices never shows my phone (Tried while off, booted on bootloader, on fastboot, and on recovery, never shows up when I try adb devices)
On windows I get a driver error when plugging my phone while in recovery, but I don't find how to install it.
So... is there a way to mount the /sdcard/ as an external drive in windows or ubuntu ? Or do you have a workaround for adb ?
Thanks a lot !
Vincent
I hope all of you would be fine.
I was trying to install a custom ROM in my HTC one X via CWM recovery. I formatted the system partition (ROM) and tried to flash the new ROM. I ended up soft bricking my phone as the ROM file was corrupt. I tried to push another ROM.zip file into the phone memory via adb. My phone shows up in fastboot devices when it's turned on but it's not detected as adb device. When I turn it off then it shows up in the attached adb devices list. I used the adb push command to transfer the ROM file into the phone memory and cmd tells me it's done as it shows the transfer speed and the size of ROM file. Now the issue is that when I try to search for that ROM file in CMW recovery, it's not there in the memory.
It's been three days since I have been trying to make my phone alive but nothing seems to work.
Any help from you guys would really be appreciated
*My phone shows up in abd devices only when it's turned off.
*The adb pushed ROM.zip file is not present in the phone memory.
*All the drivers are correctly installed and my phone is listed as 'My HTC' in device manager.
Hey there, sorry for a late answer, but right now I have some town-wide internet problems, so...
Back to your problem then, if you cant have any result with adb push, try to use another method:
1. Complete steps at this link https://twrp.me/htc/htconexinternational.html to install twrp
2. Reboot to your twrp recovery
3. Choose "Mount" option and mount any partition you need(depending on your layout), after this step, you can access you phone storage with you pc.
4. Now you can wipe everything you want, do not reboot, and go to "install" option.
5. Just copy/paste you ROM, install it, reboot to fastboot, flash boot.img
Done.
Have a nice day.
