You can mount your storage as mass storage with twrp.
Your PC will find your phone like a normal mass storage device.

Hello there, I have a htc one xl on At&t rooted... it has the hboot 1.14. Everything was fine until yesterday when I tried to flash AOKP. I used flash image gui to flash the boot.img then rebooted to TWRP and wiped rom, wiped everything, then installed the .zip for the boot.img I flashed... It would say android is upgrading and cycled through all the apps but stopped at starting apps... wouldnt go past it for 6 hours. I rebooted and tried to reflash the boot.img, but computer didnt recognize phone, and TWRP showed there was nothing on the sdcard
Juts mount your sd in recovery and drag a Rom over from your computer

Sounds like the initial problem was just a bad flash/download. It happens.
Try unplugging your phone, shutting down and restarting into bootloader, then hooking it up.
You flashed an incompatible kernel it sounds like.
Make sure you try flashing the kernel within the ROM

Hello everyone! Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the rushed post earlier, was on the way out the door after trying for a while to figure something out. I'd love to send a rom to it, but TWRP shows that I have 0 mb available of storage, and the computer says I must format it to access files or something. I may have forgotten to mention- I think i flashed rohan kernel b6 improperly... used flash image gui then went to recovery and clicked it and hit install ... it hung at installing for a while, and upon reboot the starting apps problem happened, followed by no rom being on there, only being able to access TWRP, and ... well, above things. If I formatted it would I be able to put twrp and everything back on it necessary to make the thing function properly? Orr.... Thanks for any help!
God bless!
P.S. Forgot to add- Not sure why I thought I needed to try to "install" rohan kernel later on in TWRP lol
P.S.S I tried to mount sd card in twrp, nomatter how many times i try to select it it wont work
Yeah just format it and then it'll show up as a drive for you then you can send a rom to it.

I'm sorry- I really don't understand what I'm going to lose if I format, like... apparently all my data is somewhere in the air now lol, but will I not lose any important things the phone needs to run? TWRP? Will the bootloader still be unlocked?
And, if above "issues" aren't "issues", then will the following steps be correct?
1. Send ROM to phone
2. Throw fastboot.exe and adb thing into a folder with the ROM/ boot.img
3. CMD prompt to flash
4. Magic
?
Thanks so much and sorry to be a pain here if this isn't that big of an issue! I was afraid I bricked the thing, but I was holding on to hope that I didn't since it seemed like a good thing that it would still boot to TWRP.
Also- not sure if this is an issue, I tried to hit adb sideload in TWRP just messing around with options, and it said it couldn't mount the SD card.... so.... yeah, is that an issue?
Whatever data you had on the sd card is gone anyway. You need to reformat to use it.
Formatting the sd card won't affect your /system files or recovery, which are stored on a different area, or cause you to lose root.
You guys are awesome. Thanks so much!
And, as you get a lot: Sorry... for being a noob. lol
When trying to restore/unroot my One S something bad happened. I'm not sure, but I or the program I tried to use somehow erased the memory and completely removed the phone OS. What should I do to get my phone back to life?
EDIT:
My phone is back to life!
The solution that worked was a mixture of a few previously posted on xda.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_Flashing
Under ROM flashing I did steps 4-7 and then flashed the boot.img for my chosen Rom(Currently UTB: http://www.connect-utb.com/utb-rom-for-the-htc-one-s/) via CMD. Then I powered down, waited for a bit, and started the phone again. The phone finally worked as it was supposed, I got past boot image and entered the normal phone configuration.
The reason I chose UTB Rom was because someone else have had positive results with this Rom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720 post #8),
which also proved correctly for me as I tried to install another Rom without success just a few mins later. (To get it to work again I followed my own instructions above, and it worked)
Thanks for your help! And I hope this solution will guide and help others with similar problem in the future!

Hello,
If you can get to the bootloader then you should relock it and flash the RUU for your phone. That will return it to stock and you can reroot or do whatever.
Rsotbiemrptson
You could also just reflash the ROM of your choice by going into TWRP custom recovery, mounting your sd card and copying the ROM over.
Then flash the ROM, and dont forget to also fastboot the relevant boot.img for that rom.
TWRP recovery is better than CW as it does allow you to mount your sd card. So download TWRP (google it) and fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
then load the recovery then mount sd card. You should be good to go from there, unless your SD Card is corrupted. If that is the case, then check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086156

Yes, I can get into bootloader, but can't find the right RUU for my version.

Didn't find the correct RUU, so I get an error..

I am a "NOOB" and I completely apologize if this has been discussed previously. My daughter has a Galaxy S3 that someone installed TWRP on it. She tried to update the phone because it gave her the status to do so. Somehow she has wiped everything except TWRP and I have no idea what to do in order to get a OS back on the device. Can someone please help and I really need the information explained to me in the simplest terms. Thanks
In twrp, if you click "restore" does it list anything on either internal or external memory? If so, just restore it and don't update.

It doesn't show anything.
Did you try reboot system?
Odin flash VRBMB1. You'll need a access to Windows for this to work. This will return you to out of the box stock rom.
Do what Slimsnoop suggested. Its for the best

It just means the SYSTEM was wiped. Just download a small ROM like CM10.1 and flash it. Reboot.
Have had this happen a lot. For a fast fix You will have to load ROM on the external SD card, then when you flash it check the directory where the ROM is stored on the external SD and flash it. Reboot. No need to flash gapps if you don't plan on keeping that ROM.
If you plan on keeping it just download the ROM you want and flash.

Ok so this just happened to me and I turned to this awesome site for help. I had switched from CWM to TWRP and installed the img file, when it rebooted into recovery it told me there was no OS installed. I flashed the above referenced file with Odin... when it rebooted though, I had everything I thought I had lost. No stock rom, it was still running cm10 with all my apps and themes, everything.
I'm confused. I'm not a total newbie to this kind of stuff, but I'm by far no expert. I'm just curious if TWRP didn't recogonize anything so it assumed there was no OS installed?
Easy way around this. Happens to me all the time
what you are gonna have to do it download a compatible rom from your computer to a micro sd card. Put the micro sd card in your phone. Go into twrp and select the rom and flash from external sd.
I tried to install the Maximus ROM from the dev thread, everything was fine until I had to flash the firmware and the recovery. After that, the phone restarted but was stuck at the loading screen, hence I could not mount the sdcard and transfer the ROM into it.
After that, I could not mound the sd card from recovery. I've tried numerous stuff, notably, flashing the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset and then reinstalled a custom recovery and I still get a problem. Either I get a 0mb sd card in recovery or a 48mb but in both cases, there's errors while mounting them.
I'm not sure exactly how I could fix this problem now, I have read that the easiest is to flash an RUU but I have never did that and I'm not sure if my current setup is compatible with my RUU (which is Rogers).
Since I'm superCID, can I flash any RUU? If so, which one should I flash?
With supercid you can't flash OTA ZIP, you get bricked device.

I ended up working it out, it was a partition problem.
Also, no where on the thread of Maximus does it state that you can't mount in recovery and have to use sideload to make it work. Kind of confusing IMO as my device was not mounting anyway after the boot.
Thanks guys

Is that CWM recovery a modified one that will work with the new firmware that you need for Maximus?
I don't keep up with all the new stuff, but the TWRP provided in the install of Maximus is special. If your CWM is "special" too, then ok.
Now the special TWRP provided with Maximus unfortunately doesn't move files from pc to the phone. I know that sucks.
If you knew all this and your sd card partition has really been corrupted then you will need to install stock recovery. Once that is installed you go into BOOTLOADER and select clear storage.
From there you will need to run an RUU to get back to stock. (so that you can move a ROM from pc to sd card ) then do the whole Maximus install all over again.
if you don't have an RUU that will work you can install the firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755
This will bring you back to the old 2.15 hboot and older partitions so you can install the 2.15 roms to get a working phone to do what you want.
Alternatively, you could learn what adb push is and that will allow you to move files from pc to your phone on the "special" recovery.
