Hi,
please help me! I hope it is not a brick.
I wanted to make full wipe. I made factory reset in recovery and then wiped sdcard.. Now I cannot boot ROM because there is no one and I have nothing on my SD. So I even cannot copy rom or backup back to phone.
Is there any way out? (
EDIT: I think I can push files (e.g. backup) through adb, right? I installed adb for dummies but when I want to execute SDKmanager.exe. it only opens black window and immediately closes it. I cannot continue

Access your commands through a terminal window, like start > run > cmd to get into the prompt.
and from there work your way to your directory where you have placed it, and execute the command from that directory directly.
..
Thanks!
In the end I used adb to push backup in recovery...
All this I did because I wanted wipe my device - today I woke up and got a call and found out that my earphone stopped working I am afraid that it is due to condensation and next oxidation... I did not do anything wrong but when you come from cold winter weather into a warm flat it can happen Now I need to send it and hope the warranty will pass..
Anyway, I was looking for complete unroot process and found several advices. I am not clever from them. Is it enough to flash stock ROM? Recovery will be removed as well??

Ok. I have everything done but the relocking. Could you tell me how shall I do this? I tried to write "adb reboot bootloader" and then " fastboot oem lock" but both case the command line responded something like that it is not internal command etc. (I dont have it in English) Cannot lock it

1.Switch off your phone
2.Connect your phone to your PC throught the USB cable
3.Switch on phone into fastboot
4.Provided that you have the driver for windows for the phone installed open Start/run/cmd (from your PC)
5.From the Android-SDK/platform-tools run the following "fastboot oem lock".
like :
C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot oem lock
this will lock it immediately ...

it works only in "tools" and then it just says "waiting for device" and stucks When I tried "fastboot devices" it says nothing... I tried to reinstall drivers but maybe I have some old version? When I am in Windows copying files etc. it works well.
1. Make sure you open the command prompt IN in the folder with fastboot.exe.
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode.
3. In the command prompt type fastboot devices.
It will now show your serial number. If not its either you are such a noob that you managed to screw that up or the fastboot drivers are not installed. Or both.

OK. I really dont understand what could have been screwed up. Ok. It doesnt show anything. Just nothing. Cen you please send me the link for the drivers which should work? Maybe there is the problem. Fastboot drivers are something else than drivers for adb to be working? Because I dont know whats wrong. Thanks...

If you have i9023 you need to add a line into the sdk for driver. You can search the tutorial threads for it.

try this
just check if you have fastboot and adb on the same folder, when I've rooted mine's got this issue, if cmd report "the command is an external one" simply means there is no such program in the folder you are in
copy both adb and fastboot in tools and platform-tools too, so you can run the command in both folder
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android-sdk> cd tools (then run adb or fastboot)
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android_sdk> cd platform-tools (thr run adb or fastboot)
1. Find out exactly what phone model you have if you don't know already.
2. Do the same for your computers os . Including 32 or 64 bit.
3. Combine that info and search the forum or just Google search. How to install fastboot drivers for phone model in step 1 with the os in step 2.

Thank you all. I decided to unroot it and relock it using Odin software which was great and quick. So I am done.... Adb has a lot of problems with drivers, commands, paths. This way was much easier

Agreed, but not the user friendliest.
For the OP: Good luck having it repaired!
For those who may be flashing ROMs, cannot mount the SD Card any more, and may have accidentally corrupted their SD Card, here are some helpful steps.
Preliminary Review - Check to see if you can mount in recovery or bootloader
First, go back to your bootloader screen and click on fastboot (reset your phone and hold the power and vol down button). Once in bootloader check your computer drives to see if the sd card is recognized
Your computer may be able to recognize the drive even if it cant open it. If thats the case, you may be able to format it from your computer (use FAT32 formatting).
Second, If you cannot see your SD Card in your ROM or from the PC, and you are using Clockwork Recovery (CW), try flashing TWRP recovery first. Do this by going through the following steps:
Step #1
Download TWRP recovery from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/100 Make sure to download the correct version for your device
Step #2
Place the recovery file into a folder with fastboot.exe
Step #3
Reboot your phone and hold down the Vol Down Button and Power Button until your bootloader screen appears, then enter fastboot. Then connect to your computer. I find this method works best by holding down the buttons right away. If your phone is off, press the power button then immediately press and hold the power and vol off buttons again until bootloader screen shows up. Dont let go until the screen shows.
Step #4
Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
but replace the twrp.img wording with the exact name of your downloaded TWRP recovery
Step #5
Enter TWRP recovery by selecting it from your bootloader screen. Then ensure the device is connected to your computer and select the Mount option and then mount your sd card.
IF you still cant see your SD Card from TWRP recovery or you get an error, proceed to the next steps. Your computer may be able to recognize the drive, even if it cant open it (if your lucky).
If your computer recognizes the drive but cant open it, you can try formatting it from your computer (make sure to format as FAT32)
If you really cant see your SD Card, and your fairly sure its corrupted, and you have no way formatting it from your computer, continue on below:
Basic Solution
Reflashing Stock Recovery to your device using fasboot, then doing a full factory reset. This would be using the method in post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
PLEASE NOTE THIS METHOD WILL WIPE THE DATA FROM YOUR DEVICE AS WELL AS FROM YOUR SD CARD
This method works because custom recoveries cannot re format SD Cards on the HTC One S, only wipe data from them. However, the stock recovery does have a proprietary feature that will reformat the internal sd card if it has been corrupted.
Inotherwords:
Step #1
Download the stock recovery from: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=ville_recovery_signed.img
*******Note that this file is a stock recovery for S4 devices, not S3.
Place the file into the same folder as your fastboot.exe
Step #2
On your device, go into bootloader and fastboot mode, connect your computer to the device, and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img
Step #3
Reboot into the bootloader and then choose to "clear storage" from the main screen and afterwards reset to factory defaults.
Step #4
Go back into the bootloader once step #3 is done and enter fastboot, connect your device and reflash your original custom recovery again. Your SD Card should be visible
Advanced Solution - If you do not want to wipe the data from your device
This method does not require reflashing the original recovery and factory reseting the whole phone. However, it still means that the info on your sd card will be lost. It also needs a rooted device.
This method does not require you to access your bootloader or use fastboot. You can do this while having your phone in custom recovery.
DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS. THERE ARE ALWAYS RISKS WITH FORMATTING. DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES. YOUR DEVICE IS LIKELY OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY ALREADY SINCE YOU WOULD HAVE UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER.
I have taken this solution from HTC One X forums namely from post 17 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647806&page=2
However, I have also confirmed (SneakyGhost's partition list for HTC One S) that the correct mmcblk0p for the HTC One S sd card is mmcblk0p36.
Step #1: Download the version of busybox listed below, unzip it and also put this in the folder with ADB before you get started. You only need to do this if you dont already have busybox installed on your HTC One S. Sometimes this busybox file can be found under /system/bin or /system/xbin if youve previously installed it. If so, replace the paths in the instructions below for that of your busybox. If you have busy box already installed in /system/bin , then you do not need to type in the paths since the adb shell automatically picks up programs in that folder
Step #2: Go to your command prompt in the folder with adb.exe . Connect your HTC One S to your computer and type
Code:
adb devices
and ensure your computer sees your HTC One S. This command should work even if you are in a custom recovery like TWRP or CW (but for gods sake, if your on CW, the first thing you should do is flash TWRP, but thats just an editorial opinion, lol).
Step #3: Type
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
This pushes busybox to a temp folder on your HTC One S. Make sure you are pushing the busybox file and not the zip file. If you already have busy box installed you do not need to do this step. (you can delete it from this folder later if you like)
Step #4: Type
Code:
adb shell
to get into your linux shell. Then type
Code:
su
to get root access. Your command prompt should now be a # and not $.
Step #5: Type
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
to fix permissions for busybox. You may not need to do this if you already have busy box installed with the correct permissions. If these instructions dont work with your version of busy box, try setting the permissions with this code but replace the path with the location of your busybox.
Step #6: Type
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
and just ensure you see mmcblk0p36. This is the sdcard partition for HTC One S
Step #7:Type
Code:
/data/local/tmp/busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
Make sure you type this correctly. You dont want to format the wrong partition accidentally.
That should work. Pls let me know if it doesnt. If it doesnt work with your version of busybox just try using the one in the zip file below. Also remember, dont just push the zip file. Extract the busybox file from the zip and push that to your device instead.
Also, it may help to use adb through a custom recovery instead of being in your ROM (ie if it doesnt work when your phone is booted normally, try doing the steps with recovery loaded).
There are other methods to try too They would be:
Other Solutions
Other Method #1: Relocking your bootloader and using a compatible RUU with your phone. This will fully wipe your device
Other Method #2: If your computer sees your sdcard even if it cant open it when your device is connected, you can try formatting it that way (ie the way you would format any other drive on your computer)
Only use the busybox method if you are comfortable with it and if other methods have failed. You can learn more about the formatting command (ie mkfs.vfat) by googling it.
So if I got this right if I have busybox already I only have to do is step 7.
Almost, but yes, that is the key step. Although you would still want to open a terminal Window, either an adb shell or from the phone, and type su to get root, and double check to ensure the shell sees the partition. Also, I did hear in the one X forums that not every version of busy box worked. I would imagine an updated version would likely work though.

Step 4, a quicker way: adb shell su , get you into shell as root right away

Does your bootloaderscreen say "fastboot usb" anywhere? There is an option that you have to select in your bootloader called fastboot... If it says fastboot usb then you are connected, and you shouldnt get a waiting for device error.

eventually managed to flash another recovery which did see my sdcard so all is good now.
thanks for your reply though!

I don't understand "if I can put files into my SD only with TWRP in my hands", you don't have a pc where you can copy the rom to your sdcard? BTW you should be using twrp 2.3.1.0.
I actually have my PC here with me,
but like I said im not sure I can connect it to the pc since it will be on recovery, you know, like an MTP or mass storage, can TWRP do that?

You can't take the sdcard out and put it to your pc, copy the rom from pc to sdcard then put it back to your device? or you could use adb to push the file and hope adb is working on your pc.

Try this,
Copy the rom.zip to the directory where your adb.exe is, then boot your device to twrp (home screen).
On your pc type
adb push rom.zip /Removable/MicroSD then hit enter (this copy the rom.zip from your pc to the root of your microsdcard.
If you see bunch of number and bytes and time then it's working.

You don't move the adb.exe, where ever the adb command located, you need to open command prompt and navigate to the adb.exe folder. Asus Sync is located in C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Sync and so is the adb.exe. so open command prompt and type:

I thought that you already have adb working on your PC, but seems like you don't. You need to download Android SDK and once installed, you can use adb command from this SKD. Here is the link to how install Android SDK. It shouldn't take no more than 10 min. Just download and run the install, only select packages with the word "Android name" should be only 2. Once you done this, adb and fastboot should work fine. You also need Java, but like 99% ppl with a PC should already had Java installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616059
This tool is very important in rooting, recovery, flash stuff to your device. So I recommend you install this and get it working, it will save you a lot of time and headache in the future.
EDIT; If you think you have all the components already installed, you could download the adb/fastboot package here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1403567&d=1350299936 , unzip it to your C drive, you will have a folder called "Install recovery", in this folder there's adb and fastboot command, and then open cmd navigate to this folder and execute adb command line I provide previously see if that works.

If you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...7&d=1350299936 download the zip file then unzip to your drive. In this new folder you should see adb.exe and fastboot.exe and a few dll files. Do you see them??? Make sure your anti-virus doesn't strip the files.

Oh man, this sucks, it says 404 page not found, didn't you cpy the wrong link?
I wiped the system thinking it was part of the system factory reset in TWRP but i didnt know that it would result in it saying NO OS INSTALLED. i read other similar threads about this problem but dont exactly understand what to do and how to restore my phone. i have a nandroid backup but its on my pc and not the internal storage on the phone. im fairly new to this so those replying, please explain exactly what to do. Im so scared about what to do now :crying::crying::crying:
Don't be scared its common and very, very easy to fix
Now I don't use TWRP so I have no idea of the directory structure so I can't advise you exactly.
But what you will essentially do is use adb push to get the files on your phone.
Click the link in my signature to go to the sticky roll up thread. All the important threads are linked there. Y
In that thread you'll quickly find my adb info thread. This should be most of what you need to know

First relax, your phone is not ruined. I assume you have a custom recovery. You're going to have to either side load a rom zip using adb or adb push a rom zip onto your phone and flash it in recovery.
Edit, OP you'll want to push the rom to /sdcard/Download. That'll put it into the folder twrp defaults to look for it.

Well, you have three pretty easy options.
TWRP supports ADB commands, but the stock Google driver won't work. If you install the Universal ADB Driver you should be able to push your backup to your device (adb push [file location on your computer] [where to push on your phone])
http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
You could also flash a ROM through adb sideload. Download a ROM zip to your computer, then in TWRP choose Advanced -> ADB Sideload. Then run "adb sideload [zip file]" to sideload the ROM you downloaded.
Last, you can restore to the Nexus Factory Image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
All of these options will require you to have the Android SDK setup on your computer. The link for the factory images has instructions on how to get that installed.

Luckily its easier install adb and fastboot than the ask method. Just go to the thread mentioned earlier and use the 15 second installer
OP, no matter what you'll need run that installer

All these guys have it spot on! I just wanted to mention that when you install a ROM system gets wiped automatically as this is a parameter in the zip's updater-script.
So in other words there is really no reason to wipe system manually. Just let the install process do it for you. If u wipe system manually and then you realize you do not have a ROM zip or a nandroid only ADB can save you. So this way you can save yourself a headache

Did you or did you not read my adb and fastboot thread?
And WHY are you going for the last resort first???
You really need to chill out and read things because I don't think you're thinking straight

yeah i did download the 15 second ADB installer but my computer isnt detecting the phone connected when i ran the flash-all . bat file.
1) you need to read the whole of my thread. There are drivers to install
2) Still dont understand why you're running flashall bat when you can just adb push your backup to your sdcard. You know you lose all your data when you do that?

If "mount data" shows device or resource busy, then that usually means it is already mounted.

i did everything but in the last part, it doesnt transfer the recovery files to the phone
Edit: The files are transferring successfully but only one at a time.
EDIT 2: All the necessary files were transferred but the TWRP recovery mode isnt detecting it as a restore option
Messing up is scary but it's a great opportunity to learn. I think you'll get through this just fine.

Take a new backup, then delete everything in the new backup folder and move everything from your old backop into the new backup folder,
So for example
Code:
adb shell
mount /data
cd /data/media/0/TWRP/backups
ls
^^ This should list the contents... You should see your old backup and your new backup (which will be mostly empty).
Lets pretend your new backup folder is 22222222 and your old backup folder is 11111111
Code:
rm -Rf 222222222/*
mv 111111111/* 222222222
The first command is a remove (recursive) of the contents of the new backup. second command mvs contents of old backup into new backup folder,
Try that.
I don't know TWRP so my assumptions of the path may be incorrect
Someone else posted twrp default path as /sdcard/downloads - try that.
I try to hard reset but I'm still stuck on loading screen. How do I add a zip file to my sd so I can flash it, since it doesn't even detect my oneplus on my computer? Please help me and lend me your knowledge and power =].
Can you boot in bootloader and connect it through adb and fastboo with your pc? in that case it would be easy to reflash everything
I can boot into fastboot and TWRP but I'm wondering how can I add file into my internal hard drive since it doesnt detect the phone on my computer?
Any help with some instructions would be really nice =] :good:
Do you see it using "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" ?
If not, you must update your adb drivers on your computer and reboot it
right now its on MTP USB Device as my device on my Device Manager, can you link me to the proper usb driver? Because I"m pretty sure I updated it and it was working while my phone is working. Also how can I check if its using adb devices?

Also it said "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date" but doesnt detect my phone?
Anyone still here so they can help me?
So as asked previously, when you connect via fastboot, and boot it into TWRP, do you see it via adb ("adb devices" command in the platform-tools folder)? Did you try adb push <filename> /sdcard/ ?
yes i see adb push , but there's no file there. How can i add file there?

Use an adb push command to send a ROM zip to your phone.

@M I N E, go read the sticky posts in the general section. It will explain how to do an adb push command.
@timmaaa and others have done a great job with some write ups for this device.

Or do a factory wipe then go into TWRP -> Advanced -> ADB Sideload -> Swipe
adb sideload <name-of.zip>.zip (ensure the .zip is in the same folder as your fastboot/adb) and then it'll send the zip over to the phone and flash.
I prefer the adb sideload method as it pretty much pushes the file over to the phone and then flashes it afterwards.
Either method is fine though.
If OP has problems with drivers, I recommend using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386956 they work great.
what is the push load command? How can i push something if i dont have any file on my phone to flash? can you guys type out the command?

Read the post above you that I posted. Use that command as well as the instructions and you can flash a file using adb sideload.
well I try factory swipe nothing there, i check the TWRP , no files is there i mean nothing. And I cant do adb push because my when i type adb devices it doesnt recognized, because how can i turn on debugging if my phone doesnt have any rom?

You're not reading my message properly. I'm telling you to do adb sideload. Please read what I said carefully word-by-word.

The whole point of adb sideload is that you're sideloading a flashable zip that is not on your phone but on your computer and you're pushing the file onto your phone which will followup with flashing the zip.
You need to be typing adb sideload on your computer with the proper environment for adb set up with the proper drivers installed if you haven't already.
