if i were you, i would've went with PhilZ recovery, it's the bee's knees, it's just the best! trust me, i also used 6034 ONCE, had the same problem. was referred to go to PhilZ for a better substitute, it even comes with AROMA file manager, once downloaded of course

i use twrp and i dont have any problem

I did something stupid like this yesterday. If you have a recent enough TWRP, you can use the Advanced-> sideload app option with adb to download a rom to where you can install it using twrp.

All you have to do is put the rom zip on your micro sd card, then TURN OFF your device. Now boot into twrp then select install by browse to the micro sdcard to select the rom zip file.

I had a very similar 'No OS' problem and I wasn't sure if I would be able to reboot into recovery but thank you for answering my question!

[Q] Soft-Bricked - usual solutions don't work

Sorry, for bothering you with this but unfortunately, I have soft-bricked my phone. It's a WIND Canada HTC One S with S4 cpu, CID is GLOBA001 with HBOOT 1.14.0004.
I had Cyanogenmod 10 installed, ran in some problems, tried to find a solution (among others this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459 didn't work) and bricked it: boot loop, unmountable /sdcard, no working recovery. I have tried for hours all the tips I found in the forums but none helped. I even downloaded a RUU but I couldn't install it (probably the wrong version).
Current state is: I can only get into the bootloader which is re-locked (by courtesy of one of my repair attempts). Connecting via USB to fastboot works. Nothing else, for all purposes the phone is clean, empty and oh so very much dead.
How do I proceed from here? In the end I want to have working version of Cyanogenmod back.
Thank you in advance, guys!

Okay, flashing TWRP worked. I then booted into recovery, clicked on "mount" and then "mount usb device". After some driver installs I can no see the internal storage. Apart from a folder for TWRP and .android_secure it's empty. Is this where I now put the Cyanogenmod file and install it via the recovery?

Ya place it where you want and then flash it but you will need to fastboot the boot.img file thats in the rom zip, you can use the All-In-One Toolkit to do that.

Copying the ROM and then installing via TWRP worked though I saw that TWRP displayed an error, saying it was unable to mount /cache. When I tried to wipe the Cache & Dalvik Cache I got the same error.
Nevertheless I then went ahead and copyed the boot.img (extracted that one from the Cyanogenmod zip) via fastboot and rebooted the device. Now the phone is stuck in the Cyanogenmod boot loop.

Hmm think you going to have flash the stock recovery then do a factory reset in the bootloader then go back to TWRP and copy over the rom again then factory reset in TWRP and then wipe system and then flash the rom. Do not lock the bootloader.

Did i brick my phone?

Hello, i recently installed the new official lollipop 5.0 android, however it was working like crap so i decided to change with custom firmware.
Heres what i did.
Unlock bootloader
install custom recovery
root with super SU
install custom rom.
It worked, and android started up, however, i cant connect to cellular network anymore, i waited like 10 minute to detect it but it wont, then i tried a different rom, didnt help. Did i bricked my phone? Is there anything to do?
Im with Virgin canada
Thanks
Can you access the bootloader? If yes, then you did not brick it. You probably didn't completely wipe the stock ROM before you flashed the custom one. Also, not a good idea to flash SuperSU before flashing your ROM.
Everything is working has usual, except i cant connect to LTE anymore. I flashed TWRP instead of Clockwork recovery, ill try again with this one...
From where you are now with TWRP installed:
1. In TWRP, go to "Wipe" then go into the advanced wipe options and wipe every partition except the internal storage.
2. Flash ROM.
3. Flash Gapps if needed.

From what ive seen, i have to set it up myself?
Also i currently has no ROM installed, and none in my SD card, i tried sideload but it failed, is there a way to transfert the ROM to my memory card in TWRP? If i have to click USB-OTG for it, then nothing happen when i do.

Push the ROM zip file to your phone from within TWRP, don't sideload it. You shouldn't even need to do that though. TWRP now supports MTP so your internal storage should appear when you connect the phone to the PC when you're in TWRP.
So you went from having possible APN issues to completely wiping your device? Slow down before you actually do brick it. Read the stickies. All the info you need is already here.

Try wiping your cache in TWRP.

My bad. TWRP, as far as I can tell, only allows sideloading as far as ADB commands are concerned. Can you not mount the SD using the Mount option in TWRP?

Well, did you flash a ROM or factory image? Earlier you said there was no ROM installed.
And about that TWRP issue...not too sure. That could be the recovery_from_boot.p file restoring the stock recovery. Are you seeing an android with a red exclamation point?

There was none earlier untill i managed to push a rom in the memory card, but now the Rom just wont start, its stuck in the boot screen so i will try a different ROM.
Nope no red exclamation point, when i choose recovery mode, the Google boot screen appear, then the Teamwin logo appear for a few second, then screen goes black and then google logo is back, and finnaly android boot up...
Ah well i think i fixed the recovery, i used an older version and now its starting properly.

Which ROM is this? And since you've already wiped the SD card once and the ROM won't boot, why not just flash the factory image so you'll have a clean slate to start with?
Factory image = Official firmware?

I accidentally wiped the whole Phone

Without taking any backup, i accidently wiped/formatted my Nexus5( Cache partition/system/data/persist/firmware) using ClockworkMod
My Phone won't Boot now, it's get stuck on GOOGLE Screen.
Can anyone please help me out Step by Step.

Since you wiped /system, you have no OS installed. So, either use fastboot to flash a system image, or transfer a ROM over to it and flash it via recovery. No biggie. I do recommend switching to TWRP from ClockworkMod though. Is ClockworkMod even supported anymore?

This guy is on the money. You've wiped it anyway, might as well just flash a fresh factory image and start from scratch, nice and clean.

I advise you to download Nexus root toolkit from Wugfresh. After you installed it (assuming you already have adb drivers), under "Restore/ Upgrade/Downgrade" click on "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and then on "Flash Stock + Unroot". The appliciation tells you what to do next.

And I advise against using toolkits. If you rely solely on toolkits, you'll never learn how to fix problems such as this. It's best to familiarize yourself with fastboot, you'll find that it is nowhere near as difficult to use as it seems, and you'll be equipped to get yourself out of pretty much any situation imaginable. Not to mention that toolkits are the culprits for many "Help! I bricked my phone and don't know what to do!" threads.
Here's a great guide on using fastboot- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

You don't need to uninstall CWM first, just use fastboot to flash TWRP with this command-
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

No need to uninstall just:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-filename.img if recovery is in the same directory as fastboot or
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/your/recovery/recovery-filename.img
if the recovery is under /path/to/your/recovery/
You may drag and drop the file to you terminal or commandline...

There are also apps that allow you to flash a recovery image from within the OS. I prefer that because I keep my bootloader locked and flash the stock recovery for a little extra bit of security when I don't need to flash anything.

[Q]Recovery doesnt work anymore and no OS installed (HTC One M8)

Yesterday i tired to install Miui 6 on my HTC One M8, so I did everything usual, backup, wipe, install... but it didnt work so i tried Philz recovery and the installation worked perfectly, but it was stuck in boot screen and MIUI didnt work. So i wanted to restore my backup, but to do this i needed TWRP. In Philz recovery i found no way to flash .img so i took a zipped version of twrp and i flashed it but i when i go into recovery it throws me back into the fastboot screen. I already tried to flash a recovery through hboot (0P6BIMG) but it says: wrong cid number, installation failed. Now my question is how can i get a recovery with s-on? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
