I've got myself into a bit of a pickle:
trying to install LineageOS on a Pixel 2XL.
I managed to delete the operating system
TWRP is installed and working
When I go to ADB sideload, and try to sideload Lineage, it fails with:
adb: sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found
adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...
adb: pre-KitKat sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
adb devices also doesn't show any devices connected
fastboot seems to work OK.
when in TWRP, Windows Device Manager doesn't show any device (including when ADB Sideload is active) and adb devices shows nothing connected
when rebooted into Bootloader, Windows Device Manager acknowledges the device as Android Device / Android Bootloader Interface
Is there any way to get this phone back up and running or did I bork it? Ideally with Lineage, but the stock Google ROM is fine too.
ADB isn't necessary to install a Custom ROM like LOS: this is done by means of Fastboot what TWRP ( you confirmed it's actually working ) internally runs - what of course requires that device's bootloader got unlocked beforehand.
1. Within the TWRP screen, head over to the Wipe section. Then tap on Advanced Wipe and select Dalvik/ART Cache, System, and Data from the menu. Do not select Internal Storage.

2. Then go back to the TWRP home screen, navigate to the downloaded custom ROM and perform a right swipe to flash it.
3. You may now finally reboot your device to the newly installed ROM. For that, head over to Reboot from TWRP and select System.
Thanks for your help. I wasn't able to do that because I didn't have the image on the device and there's no SD card for it.
I did manage to flash it back to stock ROM. In case it's useful to anyone, I did it via flash.android.com
I am having the same problem. I was able to install ProtonAOSP but it is not quite right. Android flash sight is awesome. I use it over and over.

I rooted and did s-off and installed a custom ROM about a year and a half ago when I first got my phone.
Last night I obviously missed a step when I tried to update my ROM to Cyanogenmod.
Stuck in Hboot loop. My phone is recognizable in adb when it's stuck at the white HTC screen. I can power into fastboot but the volume buttons don't work so I can't access any of those options.
When I type "adb devices: it says: HT0AMRV07945
When I type "fastboot devices" nothing is found
Here are some screenshots:
No buttons work on this screen so I have to go into Hboot:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I mistakenly hit up instead of down and said yes to updating:
This is the only screen where my volume and power buttons still work.
Looks like the prob is that you have 2 update.zip's find the duplicate and rename reflash rom after wiping to ensure a good flash. That should work I had same prob.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I can find the duplicate by removing the card from my phone and inserting it into my PC. After that I don't know how to wipe the phone and load a ROM from the hboot screen.
Or are you saying it should boot normally after I rename the duplicate update.zip?
Hmm... is there anything named PC10IMG.zip on your sd card?
Go into recovery
1) Remove all ZIP files from your SD card (only the files that are NOT contained in any folder). So your phone will not try to install anything when in HBOOT.
2) When adb is working you can boot into recovery using the following command:
adb reboot recovery
3) From recovery you can do:
Wipe cache partition
Install a new ROM
Install a new radio
4) While in the white HTC screen you can get some log messages from the phone using adb. Some examples:
adb logcat : Shows logcat information (phone log)
adb logcat *:V : Shows verbose logcat info
adb shell dmesg : Shows kernel messages
adb shell ps : Shows all running processes of your phone
5) When still stuck you can write me a private message at XDA
Best regards,

Hey all,
Noobie question time! Did the firmware update (or so I think) and now I do have adb connection but not fastboot? or mounted sd card. (Did re-format and now it seems to be available). I messed something up along the way obviously, it looked very much finished after both adb and the phone were inactive for a minute or so.
Currently in what seems to be factory recovery?

What's next guys? I need twp and Venom update. *** Sideload option available didn't want twrp, because of not having fastboot?
Also showing:FILE/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/0PJAIMG.zip
File not found.
Thanks for all the help, I'd be useless with out you!
I found out that:
1. Android sdk must be installed.
2. Htc sync must be uninstalled but keep its drivers. (install then uninstall it, keep drivers option!).
3. Use twrp 2.9.0.1 (reboot recovery will not appear until you use this twrp) and supersu 2.65.
4. Do not sideload. Use Fastboot and adb. No matter what!.
Download mode is Fastboot commands. Recovery is adb commands.
When you get to the reboot to recovery bit, boot to bootloader with hold vol+& press power. "reboot recovery" should be halfway down the list in bright lime green font. Read carefully. I missed it first time and panicked.

Shivadow, do you have a link for that twrp I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for the info!
Update:
Got twrp 2.8 on. Won't take newer versions of venom, assuming they need 3.0.
I noticed that the error on the bottom of the device - 0PJAIMG.zip file not found on sd path is RUU related? If so should I try the ruu again as I might have a partial install??
0pjaimg is for flashing but in your case it'll do more damage than good.
You can get twrp 2.9.0.1 from the repo or various sites. Google is your friend.

Hi guys, i'm new in this forum, so please pardon me if i did something wrong.
i really need a help now, my asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) got bricked Yesterday.
this is the timeline why my zenfone 2 got bircked:
1. I rooted my phone without cwm or anything else on around 2 weeks ago
2. Yesterday, i recieved the firmware update message (auto download) and i accidentaly clicked on update now without unrooting first.
3. My phone stuck on the logo screen, loading forever (softbrick?)
4. i've tried to factory reset and wipe all the system cache via recovery mode, but it didn't wok.
5. i looked at some forum and youtube said that i can flash rom my device to unbrick my device with 2 ways : via adb and microsd.
6. using adb sound promising, so i learnt how to flash rom via adb and i downloaded the latest firmware on the official website.
7. i tried to flash rom via adb: i've put the firmware zip on adb folder and open windows command in that folder, i connected my zenfone 2 with usb and start to "apply update from adb" and type "adb sideload xxxx.zip".
8. several times later i got message: "timed out waiting for package, installation aborted".
9. i repeated step 7 and 8 for almost 5 times and the results are same
Can someone help me? I'm really frustated now cause i can't using my phone or maybe share the reference about flash rom with microsd, because i've tried it but i don't really understand how to do it
Thx. in advance for all of you
nb: i've tried to search in this forum, but i didn't find correct answer for me

FIXED!!!
FINALLY I FOUND HOW TO FIX IT IN THIS SITE http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=39487 THE PROBLEM IS PERSIST WITH MINE AND FINALLY I DIDN'T NEED TO STPCK RECOVERY! THX FOR THE REPLIES GUYS
since you know how to go into recovery mode so i'll skip that part,
use this adb tool instead https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607611
If you have an external sdcard take it out and copy the firmware you want to side load and copy it to the external sdcard. Now name it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" and reboot to fastboot and choose recovery. It should automatically flash the firmware. Move it to a folder when you are done or it will install automatically every time you reboot to recovery.

I wanted to downgrade to 5.0 to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery and ROM. Used the official FW from the Asus page, installed it from within the OS (android MM stock). It all went as expected until at the end of the install it rebooted and got into the bootloader screen instead of booting normally. It won't go into recovery.
Phone will NOT turn on with power button + volume down button, not ever.
Power button + volume up does nothing, it turns the phone on just like the power button alone would do.
Once in the stock bootloader if I select [recovery mode] it will simply reset and go back to where I was. I never get the dead android error, it just go back to the bootloader select menu
I get this screen

What can I do? all the tutorials I seen either asume I can get into recovery or use power button + volume down button which in my case doesn't works
Find images of system, ifwi, recovery etc. and fastboot flash them. you can try first with recovery only. the adb command will be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.

I looked at the guides, most require recovery on the phone to work (it doesnt here, just reboots back into the bootloader) and for some reason adb can't find this phone, tried on 2 different computers
BTW I tried with another android phone and adb worked just fine
How is it possible no computer can even tell this phone is connected at all?
Hello,
I have a z2 pro, and i wanted to change the ROM on it. Since it came with a modified ROM, i flash a stock ROM. I then unlocked bootloader sucessfully.
I transfered the new ROM to the phone and did a
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The phone booted with twrp correctly. I then did a wipe of system, cache and dalvik.
I tried to install the new ROM, but it prompted me the error "Unknown Command [log]". Having already installed a new ROM on another device, i remembered that disconnecting the usb cable or rebooting did the work, so i did both.
Now, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, so i can't redo the "fastboot flash", and when i go into recovery mode, it isn't TWRP that is loaded but this

How can i do to load TWRP again on the phone ?
Edit: I have shut down the phone and hold the power button, windows seems to recognize it as a cd drive. QFIL still doesn't change his status from "no port available"
Thanks
