So I had my phone rooted running fine with the latest cwm recovery and did a nandroid backup, then I flashed the twrp img for a new recovery and that went fine. Where i messed up is i tried to flash a lockscreen handle mod and it got stuck in bootloop...so no biggie i thought...well then i wiped everything and proceeded to restore my backup i made except apparently twrp wont restore cwm backups and i have no rom or gapps on my internal storage so i have no OS? Please someone assist me on how to fix. I have connected the phone to try and adb push a rom to it but it will not connect with latest sdk. it show's it's connected on bootloader but no luck in adb it says device not found. Thank you so much for any input!!!

Hello,
I've made a stupid mistake,
I am using cm11 and I tried to flash faux's kernel, in the middle I had problems with twrp so I formatted the sd card.
I don't have nandroid backup, and I can't transfer files through the recovery (is there a way?).
Please help me.
You need to use adb push to transfer a ROM to the phone while in recovery, then flash it.
Thanks, i mannaged to push the room trough twrp sideload.
A little while ago I installed a corrupted boot animation that caused a boot loop. Then I restored the CWM backup and it was able to restore the system but not the data.
Now since I am planning to flash a custom ROM I deleted the old nandroid backup and went on to do a new backup. But CWM was able to back up only the system and not the data saying that data folder is missing though I checked using ES and data folder is there. I had made a backup before and this problem wasn't there.
Any solutions or will re flashing the recovery help it?
I am using CWM touch by Phil.
you are using the latest version of Philz Touch recovery?
I was the same in an older version, or if you try to switch to another as TWRP recovery by TeamMex (the last version before)
Hello Guys,
Today a friend come to me and gave me his phone to put a custom rom on it.
He said that he unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery and has a twrp backup of the stock rom.
I have done a factory reset and formated system. So I flashed the custom rom but twrp told me that i'm having the wrong device. I wanted to restore the twrp backup but there wasn't a backup. Now I have a non starting phone with no backup. I have tried everything but I didn't start.
PROBLEM SOLVED:
I downloaded a TWRP Backup which was made for my HBOOT version and put it on my usb stick and connected it via usb otg. Restored Backup with TWRP and the thing was done.
So I made a Nandriod backup, installed a new rom. I didn't like it so I restored my Nandroid backup. But instead of rebooting, I installed a new update of the rom which I restored through the Nandroid backup. Due to this I could boot into my rom but I didn't have a cell signal. I also couldn't boot into my recovery(tried flashing boot.img of latest recovery through Flashify but that didn't work either). It directly booted into my rom. Phone didn't have any problem booting into the fastboot mode. Anyways, I then connected the phone to my computer, booted it into recovery with terminal, restored my Nandroid+EFS backup and now have a fully functioning phone.
I want to understand what I did wrong here so that this doesn't happen again. How did my IMEI get corrupted? Was it because I restored my nandroid backup and installed a new version of the same rom without rebooting? Or was it something else?
I have unlocked the boot loader on oneplus one long back. I tried to upgrade my rom to Resurrection Remix 7.1.1
I successfully upgraded the ROM and also flashed SuperSu in it. I wanted to flash the Opengaps Aroma 7.1 and that is where I ran into issue because of my stupidity.
I found from GitHub that there were some issues with twrp versions to run the aroma installer thus I tried multiple TWRP versions via (Google play - official TWRP recovery app) by downloading them and flashing it to recovery.
I have taken the full nandroid backup but unfortunately didn't keep it on external devices. So it was in the phone itself.
Now the issue -
When I tried flashing TWRP 3.0.2.0 from existing 2.8.4.1 I tried to run the Aroma but it didn't work. Then I tried to flash the recovery with TWRP 2.8.6.1 but Aroma failed again.
However, on the GitHub there was a info stating that known working TWRP recovery on Oneplus one is of TWRP 2.8.4.1
I tried to flash that into recovery and flash the Aroma, but it didn't boot into recovery with that image. Later I restarted the phone, and again flashed the latest recovery version 3.0.2.0
From here I ran into issue. When tried again to flash the Aroma, it didn't work. So I booted recovery again and in that I selected the recovery version 2.8.4.0 for both recovery and boot partition.
After that, phone is neither booting the system nor into recovery. I don't want to loose my data (which is in phone backup) and neither want to try Aroma again. (Even if all the 900mb data needs to be deleted.).
Can the XDA members confirm can I reinstall recovery working image (2.8.4.1) once again through the adb flash recovery <image>. And boot into recovery mode so that I can delete the boot partition once again and reinstall the ROM and data ?
I tried doing that once but one of the laptops which I had access didn't recognize the adb devices. May be the driver was not working for Win10 OS. However, on my personal laptop earlier I was able to run adb commands through CMD prompt. Currently, I don't have personal laptop and may get it by next week.
Can anybody please share me the links of working android driver so that I can install them on current laptop and then try adb commands from SDK to connect my phone.
Any suggestion from members would be of great help.
Note: Please don't suggest the methods to factory reset or lock bootloader to factory settings. As I don't want to loose all my contacts and data.
If there is a way to get just recovery working on the phone, it would be of great help. So that I can wipe other partitions and rebuild it again.
Thank You.
