I followed the instructions on the thread. It instructed me to install a new firmware to be up to date.
I assume installing the new firmware reformatted my sdcard.
When I loaded up the rom the first time I dragged the ROM file over to my sdcard.
went back into twrp
wiped system and then went to flash the rom, but there is no sign of the rom file or any other file on my sdcard.
So I unmount to access my sdcard through twrp so I can re-place the file on my sdcard to flash it. but I am unable to access my sd card without "formatting" it. when I open the format options it says 48mb so I assume this will not work.
It wiped all my backups and everything and now I have no way to reformat or access my sd card to put a new rom on it. its only reading 48mb
What do I need to do? any help, thanks.

Oh sweet. thanks for the help. (sarcasm)
The search is down temporarily. (try searching before you give a douchey reply that's been quoted a gazillion times)
As a follow up I think I got it going.
To get my phone going again, I used a ruu and flashed it via fastboot.
I would've tried to push via adb or sideload. but I couldn't get adb to recognize my phone. and I honestly just never used the sideload. that might have worked too.
Before I reinstalled. I changed my cid from tmo_1010 or whatever it was to 11111111.
and I also installed the latest twrp recovery.
The only difference in the flashing process was,
in the instructions on the Maximus HD thread it tells you as the last step in the RUU screen to flash recovery filename.img.
but the file he provides is a .zip file. so use fastboot flash zip filename.zip and got not errors in return.
before it was still loading up the older version of twrp I had on there.
hope this actually helps somebody. If someone wants to chime in explain how to push a file to the sdcard via sideload (or at least give a link) im sure that would help someone else. the search function is down right now so I cant go find one.

I rooted and unlocked the phone also s/off with revolutionary. I wanted to restore to factory so I could install updates and none of the commands in cwm recovery will not work. Will not read sd. can not wipe data to install the PG59IMG.zip file the instructions say you should be on the latest clockworkmod recovery if possible. according to rom manager I'm on 5.0.2.7 cwm. Sorry if posted in wrong place haven't needed help before.
Thanks

Load PG59IMG.zip on the root of a different sd card and boot into the bootloader.

Thanks I finally got it what I had to do is go into rom manager. Then hit load rom from sd. check wipe data and system. I then had to go back and delete everything from the sd but the img file. Then load zip from sd. Followed other instructions from there. Worked great.
Thanks

um so you were having no issues with your phone but you wanted htc updates? you felt these updates would be better than a custom rom?
anyway are you following THIS GUIDE?
at what point do you need to use clockwork? maybe im reading this wrong but i think the guide you are using maybe the wrong guide
Hey guys new here. I've done a fair amount of searching and cant really find anything that describes my problem. Trying to root my AT&T HOX and failed to put CM10 on the drive before unlocking. Now I have TWRP up right now but when I go to mount and then mount USB storage my PC says that this drive needs to be formatted to work correctly. Honestly not sure what I should do here I tried using HASOON2000's all in one kit but couldn't find the data folder for it. So I started following Cursed4Eva's video tutorial. I have already went to HTC Dev and unlocked it. When I'm in the bootloader menu it says "unlocked" "tampered". Basically Im kinda stuck right now as to what I can do to get CM10 on the one x's drive. Sorry for the super noob questions. Thanks in advance!
Okay so I formatted my drive. I'm able to get into TWRP and Bootloader screen, I get stuck in an infinite loop of the HTC screen with a disclaimer on it if I try to turn my phone on normally. Not sure where to go from here. Do I need to put CM10 in a specific folder and then "install" it from TWRP? Really sorry for the newb questions but I thought that I could handle this and apparently I cant.
Inside of TWRP, there should be a Mount menu button that will allow you to mount your phone to your computer. Simply drop the ROM zip anywhere in that directory, unmount the phone, and choose the Install option on TWRP. Select the ROM zip file and see what happens. If you get errors of "unable to mount drive" or the like, you may have to reflash the factory RUU and start over. Did that my first time trying to flash, it's a little sucky.
You can also do this from the fast boot bootloader menu with adp push.
Well I forgot upload boot.img can I just do that right now and "install" it? Will it just install CM10 and I should be good from there? Not sure what the adb push is. I have a folder with the documents, boot.img, adb, adbwinapi.dll, and fastboot.
Okay update I got CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip installed so I have root access. I also have TWRP installed. I dont think that I have a Kernal on my phone or if it is then its not working correctly. In my bootloader screen it says **tampared** and **unlocked**
I might need to reflash the factory RUU (I assume Factory ROM?) and try again I guess.
You should just be able to select the entire zip and install that through TWRP. I've been told that if your hboot version is 1.14, you might have to fastboot the boot.img separately. The ROM/Kernel set I used both took care of that for me via Aroma installer, but it's something to keep in mind.
Well Im far to newb for this so I will try to put my phone back to RUU and try again another day! After doing more research I found some people say that TWRP 2.3 doesnt work for the AT&T 2.20 and that you have to use 2.2 TWRP. Can anyone confirm this? Also learned quite a bit from this failed attempt. Please tell me if Im correct, Need to unlock the phone with HTCDev, upload the boot.img via fastboot, install TWRP, mount the "sdcard" flash the rest of the rom? Does this sound correct?
I'm on 2.2 using twrp 2.3.1.0. From what I've read, different roms tend to recommend different recovery apps/versions.
As for the ordering of the install process, I would install the recovery first thing after rooting because you'll need that to flash superuser. A lot of installers will actually use superuser during the installation, so you'll want to make sure that's squared away first.

So you just load the rom after you have your phone unlocked and the recovery app (TWRP) and SuperSU installed?
I really appreciate the help! Thank you!
Sounds like you got it, hope everything goes well. Good luck!

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
/I had the touch recovery on there and cyanogenmod 10 I think.. worked fine for a year.
Then I wanted to format and start over, so I did a wipe of everything and now anything I try to flash gives me an error, I can still get into the touch recovery but every rom I've tried won't install, keeps saying error.
I'd like to just throw a rom on it and be done, or go back to stock.
Also, when I try to reboot from the touch flash program it tells me its not rooted and would I like to root it now, swipe to confirm or just exit to deny.
Try to rsdlite/sbf to 100% stock

I hope you have your ROM on your sdcard, if so then "Format Data". You'll lose everything on your internal memory but it should solve your ROM errors, considering your ROM isn't the issue to begin with. Especially if you are trying to go from 4.3 back to 4.2. If it's on your internal storage, then you'll need to do alot more searching on how to use adb and fastboot or hope someone is willing to find it for you and post a link.
You might also what to mention what ROMS / version you are trying to install and what version Xoom you have. If you are trying to install the latest EOS Roms they don't work.
And just as every post mentions before flashing something new... do a Nand backup (backup in recovery).
As for your root issues, it's known for 4.3 and has been mentioned many times on these forums. Do some searches about it here or simply go back to 4.2.
The Xoom is pretty hard to brick.

I have nothing on my SD card or Internal Memory, its completely empty!
Every rom I try to flash gives me an error, I tried a few now and it won't work.
I'm at a loss of what to do
I have Twrp recovery ver 2.5.0.0
I tried to flash later version recoveries but I just get an error
what are trying to flash recovery with? should be using fastboot. with an unlocked bootloader, you, quite literally, CANNOT brick the device
also, ignore the idiot who talked about rsd. that would be beyond stupid.
because you can still get into recovery, you can use adb to sideload the ROM.
adb sideload /path/to/ROM.zip

Yes I can get into recovery. Where can I read up on how to use adb again?
I'd love to try that.
THANKS
just download the android SDK and pull adb and fastboot executables ( should be in android-tools). as I use Ubuntu, I don't use the SDK any more.
once you have the adb file, if you place it in the same directory as the ROM, you would just need to 1) open command line 2) CD to directory where the files are 3) in Xoom recovery, go to advanced > sideload 4) on computer, type adb sideload ROM.zip
this is will flash the ROM over. do the same thing for gapps. then reboot Xoom

Yea, problem is, what you're saying, makes no sense to me.
I downloaded android SDK installed the 500 meg program.. Now what
also, it seems I cannot get my computer to recognize my xoom.. I downloaded the drivers and all,comes up unknown usb device.
This just really BLOWS!
I went ahead and did some quick searches for you in google. Hope this helps you, if not, do more searches for ADB Sideload xoom rom. If you don't understand something during one of the steps, google it. BTW, you need to update your TWRP if you plan to mess with 4.3.
If you need a visual guide, go to youtube and type in adb sideload. Good luck.
This is a bit old, but it's simplified and may help you setup ADB.

This guide may also help you, it's for HTC but obviously change anything HTC related to Xoom. It shows you how to sideload with every detail.

ok.. does it matter that no matter what I try no computer can recognize my xoom.. Always says unknown device.. I downloaded moto's drivers and everything.
While in recovery and going to mount it still never recognizes my xoom..
Tried in 2 computers, same results
Hi All,
I came from flashing Motorola phones and bought a HTC One XL not too long ago - so the HTC flashing is fairly new to me. I have an ATT phone, on stock 4.0.0, Tampered, Unlocked, EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON, installed TWRP v2.5.0.0. Months later (now) I went to actually install a custom ROM and missed something, now my phone has no OS and no files on it. Long story short, I've been reading the threads for hours and my brain if fried, actually just got back from vacation to find my refer went and flooded my house so I'm disheveled right now and brain can't function I shouldn't have tried to flash right now but the phone was acting up (dropping every call, wouldn't pick up calls, etc) and with insurance claims anc contractors calling needed the phone to work so figured I'd flash...bad mistake!
Anyway - I can get to TWRP but when I try to mount the SD card the PC says I need to format and will not allow me to copy any files to phone-I did not format. I am trying to install ViperXL4.2.0. How do I get the file to the phone? Once I get the file to the phone, do I need to do anything else or can I just install using TRWP (do I have to relock or do any other steps?). I know I'm asking a lot but can someone please give me a few pointers/step by step on what to do? Thank you!
Update - I've tried to adb sideload the ROM and when I adb sideload in TRWP I get a "failed" message. Also, when adb command runs I get a "adb server is out of date" and kills program.
The first thing you need to do is flash a different recovery, TWRP 2.5 is full of bugs and has issues with wiping and flashing. Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader? That's probably what's caused your sd card to become corrupt. Flash TWRP 2.6 and use the wipe menu to wipe the sd card, then you should be able to mount it to your PC and copy the ROM across (you may still need to use Windows to format it first).
The rest of your problems can probably be answered by reading the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread, both links are in my signature.
