Hello guys n gals, I had a screen less s5 with no USB port. I've replaced USB and have attached new screen. While waiting on glue arriving I decided I could still root and install custom recovery(i got bored) Anyhoo:
I flashed cf autoroot and rooted device on android 6.0.1
Then I installed an old version of TWRP which put my device onto constant Samsung logo
(I have lineage 17.1 and Gapps 10.1 pico waiting)
I went back to odin and reflashed latest twrp, however once I entered SIDELOAD and opened command prompt I get the error "SIDELOAD is not recognised as internal or external command"
I've also tried putting the lineage and gapps files onto sd card formatted as exfat (tried fat32 also)
However I can't get the files to the phone itself
I'm also unsure the commands to push (if possible) these files.
I've came this far and I'm not wanting to give up as I've totally refurbished the phone from white to black. Can anyone give any input which would enable the installation?
Thanks in advance, looking forward to getting this going.
Respect man
GOT IT SORTED AND SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED HAVOC OS WITH MAGISK 20.4

Hello everybody,
Here my problem :
I tried to install a custom rom, I failed. Now, my smartphone stay on the Asus logo screen. I tried to follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835 - to fix the problem, but when I connect phone and laptop, adb doesn't find the device.
If I continue and go in recovery mode (using TWRP), laptop can access the phone (I can see internal memory but not external).
And if I try the ADB sideload, there is no device again...
It's the first step, I don't see any other way to unbrick the phone...
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Frist, thank you for your answer. I had already tried this way but nothing. Finally, I fixed the problems (detect phone and unbrick phone).
1-In TWRP, I loaded recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img. Reboot in recovery mod, but I had the dead droid... so I pushed on power and volume up till I have a new screen.
2-In this part, I did a Wipe/Factory reset (useless I think), reboot in recovery mode (still dead droid). This time I selected the line "update with adb" (with an ASUS firmware). Then I had a message who told me update adb sideload. I did it and it installed the firmware. The smartphone reboot correctly.
Now, I have the same problem I had yesterday. In TWRP, my external storage isn't detected...
you use stock recovery or custom recovery, if you use stock recovery external-storage won't detected
Hello,
Thank you Bar4, I explained above how I fixed my problems. Now I'm searching a way to make TWRP (TWRP 3.0) detect my external storage to install Cyanogenmod 13.0. If it's really not possible, I would try with CWM (I have seen it in your screen).
Edit : I guess custom, TWRP. It's why I don't understand why it doesn't allow me to mount SD card or doesn't detect this same SD Card.

i use twrp 3.0 too, but external sd detected. no need to put on external storage, you can flash Cm 13 through internal storage
if you want to install custom rom it's better if you make a backup first, so if happen you failed when installing new rom or maybe you don't like it (new rom) you can go back to stock rom through TWRP restore
Ok, failed again...
Try a different rom or redownload the rom it might have been a bad download.
The error message says there is no updater script in the zip meaning it can't install anything as the updater script tells what directories to install the files if I seen it correctly that is.

maybe the CM 13 zip file you have download corrupted, try to re-download and re-flash it again. if still failed try another rom
( i'm using AICP Rom "based on CM 13 too") try it, it's awesome Rom ---> do clean install wipe all except internal storage and external storage

Hi,
Sorry for this late answer. As I failed to install those roms (CM13, Bliss), I'm going to stop here and wait for the Marsmallow update. But I'm happy my phone isn't brik anymore.
Thank you all.
So I have a new oneplus 3. I rooted it, installed TWRP and flashed cyanogen mod. I couldn't receive incoming calls so I figured that should factory reset using TWRP. I messed up and deleted all files, including the internal storage. My phone has no os to boot from, no backups and now it has no roms due to the wiping. It can only boot to TWRP and fastboot. It's being recognized as "google nexus adb interface" by the device manager when booted into TWRP and connected. I just need a way to transfer the files from my pc to the phone so I can flash them. Please help me. (By the way, I'm fairly new to this whole rooting and flashing experience so please keep that in mind when providing a solution)
Try flashing with an OTG adapter and a Rom on a USB stick or google "how to use adb sideload" there are youtube tutorials for both of that, used them a few days ago
Link for adb sideload:

This has happend to me before with my old android device.
Boot up TWRP and mount the device as MTP storage and plug the phone into your computer [Make sure you have the right drivers installed] Transfer a ROM of your choice to the device and install it like any other ROM. :good:
Hi guys,
Since 2 days I ****'d up my phone. I have been totally disconnected since then.
Trying to fix this situation ASAP.
I wanted to update from OmniROM Android 6.0 to 7.1.2.
I had unified storage or LVM, i don't know which, 1 single internal SD.
Wiping too much stuff in TWRP was the start of my problems is my guess.
Result: no internal memory visible (0mb)
After some time I fixed that. I went through the whole lot: brick phase, bootloop, etc.
I even poked out the power button and disassembled the phone thinking the power button was broke!
Then with a combination of the unbrick tool and others I am now in the following situation:
I can get into fastboot mode, but no ROM is installed, when flashing TWRP 3.1.1 I get a black screen when booting into recovery.
When flashing stock omni recovery 1.0 this works, but I can't do anything. (Installation failed)
So how do I go on from here?
I'm suspecting the unified storage/lvm is the culprit, keeping me from being able to install stock coloros 2.1.5i or others.
A lot of useful information from the old Oppo forums is gone..
Thank god for XDA! :good:
Any help to restore my daily driver would be greatly appreciated!
I've been roaming the forums for multiple hours and days at this point, flashing everything that has .img or .zip I can find... :silly:
*** Update: Using recovery 4.4, I now have stock oppo recovery v1.2.
When I try to merge/unmerge the partition, I get stuck in "Wiping, please wait" for more than 45 minutes, so I quit.
The status tells me: non-unified partition. So I don't know the current state of my Internal memory...
Still installing OMNI or coloros roms doesn't work..
Now, pushing files to the device gives me: no permission.
You need an SD card for this:
Get into TWRP using the recovery installer for find 7 (via fastboot) than flash the setup LVM zip after that use the recovery installer again to flash the color os recovery then flash project spectrum 1.3 for Oppo find 7/7a then everything should be repaired
This is the LVM zip:

Edit: I'll send you a personal message with a Google drive Link for project spectrum if you want
Hi guys,
I followed LineageOS for a while and bit the bullet to try it on my Xaomi Mi A1. After learning everything about the bootloader and getting the files I needed ready, I formatted my device to find that I can't load up the .zip from TWRP.
My microSD shows as 0mb (as does all the internal memory) and I can't access any /data folder a lot of people talk about (it's just not there). I can't mount the microSD from TWRP since it just won't let me select, and I tried to refollow all the steps a few times.
I'm pretty worn out and beat (it's literally everything I've been doing in my free time) so I would really appreciate any extra help. I'll keep an eye on this thread, so do let me know if I can provide any additional information.
Quick facts:
- TWRP boots up fine
- Non rooted Xaomi Mi A1
- Latest Android update
- I run Linux at home but have access to Wine/Windows if needed
- microSD otherwise works on computer and phone just fine
edit: Added a poll cus I'm bored. You can probably tell what country I'm from based on it. I'll keep updating as I figure this misery out
Update: I'm trying the unofficial 3.2.3 TWRP as seen on the Xaomi board here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-mi-8-t3837745
Will post updates.
Update: Didn't work. I've tried every TWRP I can find online for Xiaomi as well as everything on the Xiaomi subsection of this forum. I read something about how if you try to flash with fastboot you need to flash it with the official stock boot.img, so I'm downloading that from http://en.miui.com/download-333.html and will try to flash that when I have time tomorrow.
Can't boot up phone at all anymore. Gets stuck at Android screen. Running TWRP and trying to Factory Reset gives Failed to mount '/data'.
edit: Can't mount anything
edit: The link above saved my phone just before I needed it for work. Nice. Trying again tomorrow!
Hi
I do something wrong and maybe forgot add Magisk.zip to phome memory when it was possible earlier. Now I have maybe fastboot and TWRP installed, not sure because I start rooting over 2 months ago and phone died totally until today put accidentally died phone to powerbank and for surprise it start and wakeup.
But anyway how transfer Magisk to phone memory. I tried multi USB/memorycard/etc/etc plug for connect phone USB stick but it not working. No any ideas and I don't find with google any help
Hope someone can help
depends on the rom you are
for OOS there should be a patched boot.img and there is also a specific thread about
if you are on custom A12 or A13 chstom rom, i suppose you to have also a custom recovery, so when booting recovery (also twrp) just start sideloading, from pc run adb dideload magisk.zip file name
or to get it in the old manner
adb push magisk.zip file name /recovery
then from twrp, install, up, recovery, select the file yku just pushed
in any case it's better you to get practice the new approach
