Stock or Clockwork recovery?
If stock, I'd use fastboot to push clockwork 3.0.0.5.
If you can get into clockwork recovery, I believe you can mount the sdcard from within clockwork's mounts menu, and then use adb to push files to it.
Check the other threads for more instructions on how to accomplish those if you're not familiar with them.

[Q] Desperately need working files to flash .. stuck after unlocking

So I unlocked this without much trouble, and then when I was attemoting to use adb to flash images to recovery partition, one would just not work, and I stupidly tried to force it, and now it boots and just sits there.
I've seen a different website saying the Q can run Jellybean, and it also has info on getting the stock rom back .. but NO files. I know how to use the damn recovery tools once theyre booted up - those articles were completely useless. I don;t know what else to do. I tried to get the files that argghhhh jad posted to dropbox but they are not available anymore.
Stuck and been trying to fix this for the last 12 hours
EDIT:
Found stock recovery stuff, but I dont think it's going to help any...

Nevermind I suppose
I see that I can try the stock rar file posted for someone else in here to put into recovery, hope it works, I just dont know if the nernel is ok, but I would think so. It stops at the "unlocked"notificaton screen. anyay, yeah. If I get jellybean on instead ill share the info,

I believe you need to fastboot your recovery, not adb. Then you may be able to flash something back on there.

Thanks for the repl! S I actually have been using fastboot because adb for some reason just will not see the device (I checked the version and its correct supposedly). So what I did was take the WWRP rar, pull the contants out and make them into a .zip.and instaled with fastboot flash. The output looked ok:
sending 'userdata' (319120 KB)... OKAY [ 29.814s]
writing 'userdata'... OKAY [ 92.421s]
finished. total time: 122.235s
but what about all the other partitions? I jad done system earlier frok out of the stock zipfile. i think i may just try the entire Stock file insead, or maybe I am missing the fact that I beed to install the kernek into /boot, Any thoughts Thanks much!
EDIT: first im going to fastboot the recovery wit tue TWRP zip file, and try to install it from

I am a little confused, did you manage to get the recovery working? Looks like you were trying to flash the recovery img to your user data partition... Am I misreading your post.

Whoaa just saw that. should have unzipped the recovery image and flashed it to the recovery partition with
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryfile.img
Then you can boot into recovery and flash one of the system dumps that these devs have generously posted for when we mess up like this...

is this the basic method at present for a stock restore? i was looking at the thread with the files for RSD lite, but i was confused as to whether that was working. thx!

ok so I messed up what to flash from recovery. I had grabbed copies of the system, data, boot, etc for all the partitions thinking i needed to do them all from outside using fastboot,

Ok, the easiest way to get your phone up and running again is to push the newest TWRP from here, put it in your tools folder and push w fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-asanti_c.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Make a backup to your external sd card so that TWRP creates the directory needed to restore the stock system & boot. You should delete this first backup later since it will be broken.
Then download a system & boot image from here, unzip to the /TWRP/BACKUPS/"serial#"/ folder on your external sd. Do full wipes for system, dalvik, & factory reset; then restore Stock from within TWRP. Should be good to go.

Just saw that tetrabyt already hit on this, consider this post a more detailed revision.

i must be retardedly doing this the wrong way, i quickly get twrp into recovery and can get in there, and I have the stock photon .zip in 1 big zip and in separate pieces, but how do you get them to the external card.. windows 7 fails to recognize the phone with some message MTP device unknown so I can't transfer it that way ... I dont know. Im about to chuck this thing out the window and be done with it. The whole purpose was to be able to install apps to the sdcard, originally. Only fastboot works from a command prompt, adb doesnt do a damn thing, trying multiple versions of it. I give up

Do you have an sd adapter or another device you can plug the sd into to transfer from your pc? Does adb fail when booted into TWRP also? Tried uninstalling/re-installing drivers?
Might be able to make a data img you could flash through fastboot, so long as the folder structure was correct... then use recovery from internal storage. Not certain on this: /data/media/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/"serial#"/
Maybe someone else can jump in here, this would be my last resort. Use any way possible to get it on external sd first.

Thanks a ton for the help Saint, and others. I finally got it back in working order .. yay! Now to install that powermenu update someone made, and see about making android 4 opeate like the older versions, where you could install apps onto the external SD card. Am I correct in assuming they just F'ed it up by changing the /mnt names, while the software was not updated to accomodate those changes? Why the hell is internal memory now "sdcard" ... so odd. I have a friend whose internal storage is named "USB storage" on his phone. It's USB accessible .. but its a freakin flash card. So odd, and stupid. I really felt like 4.0 was a downgrade, personally. What improved? I see nothing, only things taken away (Im sure the underlying scheduler and thread management/memory mgmt is better, but you know what I mean .. anything visible?)

Good to hear, glad you got her working again. As for how she runs, definitely snappier than older versions of android. Maybe just hardware, but I still see improvements w the wifes epic running ics, guessing that we will see better results once CM is dropped for this phone.

Tried this, still stuck on Bootloader Unlocked Screen. TWRP restores don't seem to work right. I tried restoring an old backup I had of the boot/recovery/system with no luck. Everytime I wiped system/dalvik/cache/factory reset before restore. No errors show up.
So, I can go into fastboot, and I can flash files.
I tried RSD Lite 5.7 with this Zip
It flashes everything until RSD wants me to reboot. Then it reboots and gets stuck on the bootloader unlocked screen.
Any ideas?
[Edit] I flash CWM and found out that I can't mound /sdcard which doesn't seem right...

After RSD Lite, it might not have booted up because the system image was removed from the file to make it work. Probably if you flash TWRP after doing the RSD file, and restore Rangerbry's system backup, you might be good..

No Luck.
Just tried this.
Got the following Errors during only system restore:
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:unable to mount '/data'
Still stuck on Unlocked bootloader screen.
My emmc might be corrupted I think
I do have sprint insurance. Think they can reflash stock?

Was that in CWM or TWRP recovery? Just trying to make sure the process was correct, haha. I have only started using TWRP on this device, but i think the 2 recoveries use different backup formats?

Can you boot to bootloader or just to fastboot? There are two control files in that RSD zip, one doesn't flash bootloader, try removing that one and forcing the reflashed bootloader. Then try restoring again. About all I can think of if it successfully flashes the other components... Maybe just restore system and not boot or data?

Help...

I had been running a ROM since June and everything was working fine. So I go see my Trojans lose :crying: to ND and came up depressed so I decided I was going to update it to something newer since I liked some of the new features. So I download a rom and copy over to my tablet, boot into recovery and flash. I do all the wipes etc and reboot.
I get the Asus splash screen with Androidroot 9.4.3.30r01 in the top left corner..
I can get into fastboot and I can get into recovery. (CWM-Based Recovery v5.5.0.4)
So here lies the problem. I can't copy anything to the internal SD of the tablet to flash something else.
I've tried to follow a few thing on other posts about how to copy files via fastboot but when i try it tells me insufficient memory.
So what I want basically is help getting back up and running. Any of you Super Gurus able to help?

Have you tried putting a file on a removable sd card via a computer, then booting into CWM and flashing it that way?

Search for quick adb pusher here on XDA. DL it. Go in to recovery. connect tab to pc, run ADB pusher and see if it finds your TF300.
If yes you should be able to push every file you like on your Tablet.
Try flash it.
But there were already so many Users that had problems with CWM so 1st try to flash TWRP via fastboot and see if that works.

wow

You can use twrp to flash from either internal or external sdcard. I use external always and only keep a safety backup on internal.
Also twrp includes a file manager which you can use to copy from external to internal if you feel better that way.
I forgot twrp also includes a terminal which can be handy as well.

I totally agree. TWRP is the way to go if you can get it flashed through fastboot. I originally tried CWM but had issues with it making backups. I flashed TWRP with fastboot and no more problems.
The reason I mentioned trying CWM 1st was because you said that you already are running it. If you can get TWRP installed, I would definitely recommend it.

No problem and I'm that you got it flashed with no problems. TWRP is definitely the way to go. Don't get me wrong, CWM is nice to have as far as recovery goes but the UI in TWRP is so much better. Now if only we can get it for the phone I'm using.

[Q] Wiped and not working HTC One S [s4]

Good day everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am in desperate need of your help. I recently purchased a HTC One S from an online store they told me it was new never used locked phone. Turns out phone was rooted, 4g does not work, and it could not recognize e drive, (internal sd card)
After reading the all in one i re-rooted it and install the teamwin version of recovery.
Now i never had any back ups or any factory files. as i got the phone rooted with software that did not work. My phone now has no rom and i cannot install from adb sideloader, or an other means. I am new to this and cannot seem to figure out how to get my phone back to even stock un-rooted etc. I tried multiple forums and download links but nothing.
i was able to install vipers rom at one point but despite several attempts to reinstall. recovery does not see files loaded. which i can see on my mac or pc.
the other strange thing i notice is that at the top in fastboot mode i sometimes see unlocked in pink only and other times i see both unlocked and tampered. when its unlock only none of my computers recognize connection.
I also tried boot.img for flash. The furthest my screen no goes is the htc logo, then goes black.
Please help, even to just point me in rite direction to have this resolved.

the boot.img, did you flash it via fastboot? (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
And, one question that comes to mind... they sold you a device as new, yet it wasnt.. Why didnt you return it?

Yes I tried several times loading the boot.img via fastboot.
As far as returning the device i trashed the mailing box but kept original packaging so no return address. I called the company which i made the purchase from "N1wireless" several times and sent several emails to them. They have yet to reply or answer any of my calls. Which is why I am so frustrated.

Boot into recovery, select mount > mount usb storage. From pc move the Rom.zip to your sd card which should now be showing on your pc. After it is moved to your phone select unmount then press home button in twrp recovery. Then install the Rom. After install open up adb and type adb reboot bootloader then press enter. Now fastboot flash the boot img from inside the Rom.zip on your computer. After that reboot your phone and report back

Hi, thanks for the reply, thats just the thing I cannot in recovery install any rom loaded to sd card. It fails. I tried reinstalling the recovery and it still not reading my sd card.
So my guess is i need a new twrc or how to do it from my mac, as now when i try on my pc it is failing as-well. Once I get the recovery to work I will try your other suggestions as I think it will work based on the steps you mentioned.
I am trying to figure out how to use terminal to reinstall recovery. any suggestions or links will be greatly appreciated.:good:

I reinstalled recovery several times now and it wont recognize the sd card. is there another recovery i can download and use? Also is there any instructions for a newby to use terminal to re-boot, everything from scratch. Meaning if the phone is completely blank except the fast boot and a recovery manager no backups or stock kernel etc. what is the format to be used in order for the computer and recovery to recognize the sd card?
I think I need a good recovery rom like cmod if there is one for the htc one s or the stock one if someone has it.

I had that problem the sd card would not be seen by my laptop and the phone would not boot at all if you plug in the phone to your go to start and then computer right click on your c drive go to manage and see if you can see it there if so try to format it and then reboot the phone if it works you can then install cwm as a recovery system then you can put what rom you wont on it i am use in zenRom 1.05 and to me its the best coz it like the htc rom that the phone come with if that don`t work let me know coz i have more tricks to try i hope this helps you out.

Theres only TWRP and CWM for the S afaik, and CWM sucks. TWRP is the one to use.

I had a similar problem a few days ago, luckily there's not such a bad solution.
1) Pick a custom ROM you want to install from the HTC One S developer forums (I went with Trickdroid) and download the ROM/boot image.
2) Then download and flash the stock recovery here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1UuxTh0k/stock_recovery.html
3) Boot into bootloader, clear storage and then reset to factory defaults.
4) Flash TWRP
5) Reboot into recovery, sdcard should now be mounted/visible
Then push the ROM to your sdcard with adb or mount USB storage and flash it/flash the boot image and you should be sorted.

I could not get the stock recovery via that link you provided. If there is another link to the stock I would appreciate it. I had to flash it wit cwm twice then reflash with twrc to get it to identify the sd card. i had tried the viper rom but my 4g and wifi doesnt work. Will try trickmod hopefully that works with no more issues

Hey thanks allot for your suggestions. I made some progress. It kinda worked. However I my wifi and data connections no good. I tried the 9.1 update and then tried the tweaks.

twrp or CWM saying cant mount any partition TF300T

hELLO,
I tried installing twp and cwm versions from xda/twrp.me/cwm website for T300T and flashed them successfully from FASTBOOT but after I boot into recovery and then, when I try to wipe data/ factory reset, do anything in twrp or CWM, I get error "unable to mount /system /cache/ and every other partition, so I can not flash anything, can not mount any partition or sdcard or emmc or anything and can not copy flash files into tablet from PC while in TWRP CWM or external SDcard. I already enabled USB debugging and everything else in tablet settings but I am unable to mount anything or format anything from TWRP or CWM.

If your fastboot still works, please try Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479.

if the other recovery does not work, you would probably need to reflash stock rom from the asus website, this is due to recovery not being able to identify the partitions without a full boot, if you wiped it from bootloader the whole partition table is messed up and you want to reflash that by using the stock rom. If you need any help on that just pm me.

I have the exact same problem. Not sure about fastboot as so far it has not installed anything. I have twrp 2.5.0.0 .... adb does function and have actually installed KK 6.0 and works fine, but on restart it is back to recovery and no OS.Any help appreciated.
using fastboot all I get is waiting on device and a blinkng cursor.
How can I get Kang twrp on the tf300 with adb commands?

Sorry to sort of hi-jack the OP thread, but my problem is very similar. Here is where I am now tablet sitting at Starting fastboot usb download protocol ... 3 icons with RCK blinking. I ran the following From my sdk platform tools folder.
adb reboot bootloader
it was followed by;
" daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037"
"daemon started successfully"
I then ran the following:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2.img
it was followed by:
sending 'recovery' (7126 kb)...
followed by a white blinking cursor and it just sits there,
Same results if I run it all the same except substituting the blob file instead of the img file.any ideas?

Many Thanks
Many Thanks, go out to gs-crash-24-7 as well to the forums here at XDA, I now have my tf 300 back up and running on the stock JB 4.2.1 rom. Still isn't recognizing my Micro SD card, but that is a problem I think should be easier to solve.
Again, many thanks all.
Took forever to get it to be recognized as a fastboot device with windows 10, but once that happened ( I won't lie, I erased everything many times) well that and me switching to a little 3 ft cord (after so many attemps at adb>fastboot flash staging blob) it is going for now.
Good advice below if your TF300T seems bricked.

Man was I ever wrong about that statement .... still no success getting the tablet to once again recognize external storage at all.
If anyone can help me with the MicroSD/External Storage not being recognized problem, please take a look here.

Thank you all, its all good and working now with recovery file you posted above.
Cheers!
