So, basically, I've done a stupid thing, I attempted to install Cyanogen, forgetting to enable USB debugging, and it didn't go too well, all I can do now is use Clockwork Recovery as there is no ROM on the phone, I'm not sure if there's anyway I can enable USB debugging and flash it via USB, with Odin, but whenever I try to flash via .zip through Clockworkmod Recovery I either get the status 7 error, or if I take steps to get rid of that the installation just aborts, any ideas on what I can do?
There is also a possiblity I installed Clockwork Recovery for the 3G edition, whereas I have the LTE edition of the phone, I'm not sure if that'll have contributed to the downfall of my smartphone adventures
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

hi,
first of all, dont worry for that. its not really a brick.
reboot your device to download mode (press vol-down, home and power buttons)
install philz_touch_5.18.2-i9195.tar.md5 - 7.08 MB via odin and restart to your phone to philz recovery. (press vol-up, home and power button, if you see samsung logo release power button)
then install cm rom and reboot. if you dont have any rom file in your storage, then copy rom zip file to your external sdcard via your pc and put external card again to your phone and reboot recovery and try install your rom from external card. this recovery is for lte variant of s4 mini.
i hope you get your phone working again and tell me if it works
I can't use Odin to detect my phone, it just doesn't show up :c
There is another solution.
first - get philz recovery zip file for lte variant and extract it. (get it here http://d-h.st/qdn) open updater-script and remove this code and save file.(that installer will not stop because your device is show him you have 3g variant but you have lte one so simply remove this code and save file to your zip)
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "serranolte"
|| getprop("ro.build.product") == "serranolte");
make zip file and copy it to your sdk folder and install it via adb sideload. (google it when you dont know how to install with sideload)
after this you should have right recovery.
then install your rom with sideload and reboot.
Yeah, that did fix it, I now however have the issue of my Wifi won't turn on and I cannot install things as it states that there isn't enough storage space available, which there is, there is also 4.62 Gb used in my Misc files and nothing is listed as even close to that size, so my phone isn't particularly better off ¬.¬ But thanks for your help
Got all of the problems sorted now, for the storage space thing, I had to remove my external SD card and just go on a formatting blitz after reinstalling Clockworkmod and the wifi required a modded kernel to be installed
Hi can someone help me, I have the same issue as Tobiscuits. The link no longer worked but I managed to get the file needed for recovery Odin doesn't see my phone so I can't recover to stock that way I'm guessing USB debugging is off I'm stuck on the Odin mode screen everytime my phone starts. I'm new to this what do I do with the recovery zip I have, it's on my pc atm

Have you installed latest Samsung drivers? Or try reinstall/update them, from Samsung website?
(in the past some people had to uninstall the Samsung sync software & it's drivers first if it had already been installed on PC, ie smartswitch/kies)
You must reboot PC between each operation above & check Samsung drivers uninstalled in program list (assuming Windows). Reboot after install as well.
Update to TWRP after fixed.

Hi thanks for replying, yes I installed Samsung usb drivers still doesn't recognise my device, I do have the same phone again and that works but that phone doesn't recognise on Odin or pc either maybe it's a cable issue or USB driver issue like you said. I'm pretty new to all this but TWRP is the recovery zip right? When I try factory reset it goes through the motions then nothing happens goes back to Odin mode automatically.i should mention I uninstalled magisk before my phone decided to not boot back up I'm guessing I uninstalled it wrong. I'll try uninstalling the Samsung drivers and reinstalling.
Ok... I'm desperate. I don't care if I won't recover any data, I just want it back working.
My d850 G3 was rooted and TWRP was installed but while trying to open the TWRP interface to copy the latest CyanogenMod, when I rebooted the phone with QuickBoot, it got stuck in developer mode. Now nothing else works besides rebooting and the only way my laptop recognizes the phone is when I select "Apply Update from ADB" but it goes into sideload mode and I cannot sideload anything with MinimalADB & Fastboot or with the SDK Platform Tools.
I tried adb push & adb sideload -> LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery (the zip from the other thread) , from the sdcard & laptop, it doesn't work.
-> last CMmod, cm-12.1-20151209-NIGHTLY-d850 ... doesn't work...
Any ideas on how to save my phone? I don't care what ROM, even if I can get the custom ROM back, it's still helpful.
Forgot to say I was using Android Kitkat... and here's an image with the screen:

I hate to tell you budy, But that isnt TWRP or developer mode, what you have here is, default Stock android Recovery that comes with the phone.. So whoever told you that you have TWRP or whatever you
think was TWRP isnt twrp.. so best bet, Flash KDZ.. go into download mode if you can... One more thing.. Read up on this stuff cause you really dont know what your doing........
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772199 you will need to download the kdz for your variant. So omit the file from the post and use the one for for the d850. Follow the instructions.
After more research (about 20 tabs opened in chrome with other forum links and tutorials) I found what I was looking for and fixed my phone. I cannot thank you enough guys I didn't know where to search, for what exactly.
I'm still considering installing a custom ROM, though... any complete tutorial (for newbies) for CMmod or something better?
Best of luck! Cheers
You need to make sure you are rooted and have twrp. The recovery you show in that photo stock. And make sure its bumped.
So my laptop broke a while ago and I now have no way of updating without losing root which is not an option for me. So I've tried using android to android TV adb/fastboot commands over network but android to android adb doesn't seem to work at all. So while digging on what I could possibly do I've come up with an idea but not sure it will work. I have the nvidia shield TV (1st gen) 16gb version currently on 3.3, rooted with twrp installed. I found this:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed
1) Download the latest version from our website on your device
2) Reboot to TWRP
3) Hit Install and tap the "Images..." button in the lower right
4) Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
5) Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
So my idea is to use these instructions to install the hacked twrp (Darcy) and then install update ota from there and then install root? Will this work?

What are you on now? 3.x or 5.0.0? If you're on 3.x, I'm not completely sure your idea will work. If you're on 5.0.0 it might.
Weird stuff happens between major build numbers.
I'm now on 5.0.2, what about somehow running windows or Linux from my phone and connect adb that way would it work? I could otg to otg or otg to USB, just not sure it would work
Depends on if TWRP can flash partitions that updates need to flash. I believe TWRP will just flash system, vendor and boot.

Yeah Ive been trying all night - tried with running Linux on android which worked well, I installed adb tools, run the server, connected with otg and USB and 'adb devices' shows nothing attached. I got network debugging to connect but I know that's pointless as it won't have WiFi connectivity once its in recovery where its needed to push twrp. Maybe one day
So went and borrowed a mates charger and all good now but I'm planning to get rid of my laptop and the only thing holding me back is this process of rooting and installing twrp, if I could do this on the shield itself or us another android device to push commands this would be a big help as then I really don't need a laptop at all
First, update TWRP to the unofficial version (latest), you can then download the OTA and supersu .zip in your phone and copy them to an external usb flash drive with an OTG usb cable/adapter.
You can check in your phone the files inside the compressed OTA package.
First do factory reset (if 16 gb model i would also wipe media)
Flash OTA from TWRP
Flash supersu right after (if you get an error that you cant write to data or similar then a reboot to recovery is a must)
Cross fingers to succesfully reboot to twrp again, then flash supersu and reboot system.
Root is systemless, be carefull to not do another factory reset or you'll wipe root too.
If twrp is gone, you must use a Windows machine because Nvidia provides fastboot drivers for when shield tv is booted up in bootloader or fastboot mode. Haven't seen linux drivers for that.
ADB is not really of much help or use but fastboot is. In case TWRP dissapears then the only way is flashing it back with fastboot and to boot into it from command line too.
I've installed Full Android Nougat on my 2015 shield tv and have gone back to stock and then again to full android. I also wanted to find a way to not be dependant of a pc/laptop, unfortunately there isn't one yet as far as i know. Also if you forget and do a factory reset from settings then root will be gone and no way to easily boot into TWRP again, you'll again need fastboot.
I have done enough tests and everything i mentioned i have done it myself or has happened to me and eather way or another I've find myself always having to use my laptop.

Ive found myself in that situation, no root, and no way to boot to twrp, after a while searching, found that theres a keyboard combination that reboots the shield (also works on ouya, nexus, maybe standard android?), and pressing this same key combination one or three times after the reboot, as soon as first logo shows, boots the shield to recovery
Combination = alt + print screen + i (no root, no adb required, was a life saver)
Edit
Usb keyboard required (maybe 2.4ghz keyboard might work to) , as theres no bluetooth/wifi during boot
Edit
Well actually, folks can test the initial reboot with a bluetooth keyboard, just wont be able to use the key combination during boot, and im pretty sure if the shield reboots, then the 'boot to recovery' aspect should work too(with usb keyboard)
Edit
Curious to know if this also works on the 2017 model
Would it be possible to downgrade from Nougat 5.1 back to Marshmallow 3.3?

I wouldn't recommend that. I've seen like 5 users that have soft and hard bricking their Shield doing so.
If you flash full recovery images or OTA that contain and flash MM or a different model bootloader you will brick your device.

What you could do... Is before updating to Nougat. Make a hard backup of your SSHD (Sorry 16Gb Users), following the first Page of the SSHD to SSD Migration Threads.
And then just use that to roll back. It will also save your arse in the worst nightmare scenario. When you having just attempted to roll back to a lower version, and then find yourself with a Brick.
Hello everyone!
My oneplus3 is actually running no OS and I'm having a boot loop.
I will try to explain what happened to me with the most details I can.
Before I ****ed everything up, I think I was running OxygenOS 3.28, not really sure about it but im 100% sure it was below 4.0, and it was rooted with TWRP 3.0.2 installed.
1) Today I had a pop up saying OxygenOS 4.0.2 was available (the official one that pops on the screen on boot) "Yay so coooool Nougat!"
1.1) I downloaded it, 1.4Go, then I pressed install
1.2) TWRP showed up, I didn't know what to do and that's where I ****ed up, I set my phone "factory new" in TWRP.
1.3) Phone restarted fresh new, I thought I had 4.0.2 but naaaaah would've been too easy so the official pop up showed again, I was still 3.28 I think.
1.4) Downloaded it once more, TWRP opened again, this time i was looking for the update i just downloaded in the "install" section. I browsed for quite a while and couldn't find it.
1.5) Master ****-up here: I tried to restore a backup. Then the bootloop happened. The black screen with "Oneplus" written in white. I was able to go back in TWRP by pressing power + volume down
1.6) Tried every kind of restore unsuccessfully, and tried ADB but it wouldn't load. Also TWRP said that I was running no OS when I wanted to turn off my phone for example.
2) I downloaded 4.0.2 from one plus website on my mac, and i flashed the official recovery instead of TWRP.
2.1) Transferred the update from my mac to my PC (seems important to me) and installed ADB & everything on both PC/O+3.
2.2) so adb worked in forceboot, i've been able to flash official recovery, tried once more to wipe & everything, but clearly I have no OS now, as TWRP said.
2.3) so i had the update in a folder (not a zip, probably due to the download being done from a mac), I made it a .ZIP with winrar, but "adb sideload update.zip" crashed at 0% everytime
2.4) looked at the archive then i noticed it was first a folder "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883" then inside it i had the content like "boot.img" & everything. So i zipped it again but without that first folder because I thought it was the problem, but it kept on crashing 0%.
2.5) restarted my PC, looked on several forums, but i couldn't find any fix. Now adb can't even open update.zip anymore, it fails even before 0%.. I tried naming it .zip.zip, keeping the name "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip", using a third party app to allow more RAM to the cmd app...
I've been trying hard for 4 hours but I still have a O+3 without any OS... My last idea is downloading "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip" from my PC so it downloads it directly .zip unlike on my mac...
I hope I said everything, sorry for the long post but i'm desperate.. thanks for your attention,
Valentin

Thank you for answering! unfortunately i've already tried that and my problem occurs when i try to sideload the update from adb recovery... "couldn't load 'update.zip'"
I dont really know what to do now because I think my only option here is to load the OS through adb as I can't boot my phone to get the update zip inside a specified folder to load it from internal storage.
Try to install the new official TWRP version i think it is 3.0.3-0 through fastboot. Boot up TWRP, wipe every partiton and copy the update.zip onto the phone. You can copy it by connecting it normaly via USB(like you would do in OOS) and install the zip file afterwards.

install stock recovery and then try installing official OS. Or install modded twrp 3.0.2-1.28 and then try installing Freedom OS 2.3 via sideload or through internal storage.

Stop fiddling with the ROM. Download the ROM afresh directly to your Windows PC/laptop. Check the md5. Then start experimenting with the other suggestions but don't again meddle with the ROM!

I read your post again and here are a few things:
* Don't update Stock OOS via "System updates" in Settings if you are rooted and have TWRP
* Back up your data before updating, wiping or doing something with your phone.
* For the ADB error, see the FAQ #17 in the guide I provided.
Now, try this:
Flash TWRP via fastboot > boot to TWRP > connect your phone to your PC and copy the full Stock OOS v4.0.2 OTA to your phone > reboot to fastboot and flash Stock Recovery.
It didn't touch the internal storage. So, try to install from internal storage when you are in Stock Recovery.
Let me know if it worked.
Guys,
My father got my op5t with root, I think he had oreo oxygen os rom, after a couple months, he entered twrp by accident and he whiped, he did not know what he was doing. Long story short, the device keeps rebooting to twrp bluespark 3.2.1 v8.78. When the device is in twrp, i tried to connect to the pc but it wont detect the device.
My question; how can I fix this, I downloaded (OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_034_all_1804201221_5c1b6d44ac9) but I dont know how to put in the device in order to install the zip file through twrp to restore Oxygen Os.
Hold the power+volume down buttons together and don't let go until you reach the twrp load up menu.
Stick the zip file into a storage format that hooks up to the USB-C, go into twrp and switch from internal storage to USB OTG and flash it from there.
I'm not too sure about this next method but you may be able to hook your phone up to the computer and have it on TWRP, you might have to look for the setting in the menus, then find the phone from your PC and drag the file onto the phone. I assume you know the steps in how to flash a new ROM.
Just a reminder, you'll have to be on , 5.1.7 Oreo to make the jump to 9.0 pie oxygen OS. Do you know what version he was on? You might have to just go into download mode and use ADB to flash the file.

thnx for response, but I said from the start that I believe that he was running oreo, im sure he was not on pie, it could be oreo or nougat but I think oreo. USB otg does not work for me, otherwise I would have tried that, I dont have the equipment.
The other method you mentioned about adb, If I go to twrp, click on advaned then you can click adb sideload, from there you should swipe to start sideload I believe, then open cmd in winodws and type ''adb sideload'' then drag the zip file to cmd and hit enter, however it says; cannot read 'E:\op5t restore stock\OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_034_all_1804201221_5c1b6d44ac9.zip
How should I proceed ?
hold on, I found an option to enable mtp in twrp, now the pc finds the device, let me put the stock rom 5..1.1 that I downloaded and report back how it goes.
after flashing te the stock zip file, the devicr was in bootloop, then I figured I had to uninstal Magisk with the magisk uninstal zip file, after that the device booted fine.
thnx for the help anyways, really appreciated it ^^
