please help it says it has no os installed when i go to recovery mode is there a way i can install it with an sd card? where can i download it from please help
Friend - how are we supposed to help if you give us NO information????
How did you get yourself into this pickle?
I used the coffee grounds from my afternoon latte to guess this:
You have a custom recovery installed and can boot into it - which one?
You wiped from recovery and included your system partition. Not a good idea if you're not prepared to flash the rom right afterwards....
You ran some custom rom - which one?
What bootloader do you have installed?
Fastboot access working or ADB in recovery?
If you're really lucky all you have to do is copy your favorite custom rom on a fat32 formatted microSD, stick it in the tablet, boot to recovery and flash the rom.
That is if you have the correct bootloader and recovery installed, but how would I know?

hello all,
i have had my HTC Magic/Sapphire for about 6 months now, i think i have bricked it but it i can still enter fastboot menu and all so not sure. since this and im not great with androids, i went and got a HTC Hero, so was wondering if anybody can help, have a couple of options.
1- send this to someone on her to fix it for me and willing to pay.
2- someone willing to buy it of me as i dont want to really get rid of it and just chuck it away.
so if there is any offers, please contact me
=]
follow this instructions...
Download a recovery rom for your device
There are several different recovery roms available for the HTC Magic devices.
Amon_RA has created several nice recovery roms available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and get the Recovery Rom appropriate for your device - these recovery roms have Nandroid Backup and Nandroid Restore and are perfect for the average user.
You can also use Cyanogen's 1.3.1 Recovery ROM available for: PVT32A devices and PVT32B devices - this rom has some additional options for partitioning your SD card for ?Apps2SD/Swapper/etc.
Fastboot the recovery rom
Fastbooting a rom doesn't write anything to your device - it just loads it directly from your PC - so it's a completely safe way of fixing/recovering/backing up your existing rom. To fastboot a rom you need to first drop your phone into Fastboot mode and check that it's working. Now drop into a command shell and make sure the recovery image you're wanting to load is in the same directory that you're running this in. If it's called something other than recovery-rom.img then substitute that instead.
C:\AndroidSDK> fastboot boot recovery-rom.img
Use the Recovery Rom to Backup your current ROM with Nandroid
Once you've booted to a recovery rom - you can use the Nandroid Backup option. If you get a 'cannot mount /dev/mkblkxxx error' when you do this then check your microSD card is inserted correctly and if so, wait a few seconds for it to register to the recovery rom correctly. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (sdcard can take a few seconds to mount!)
Than boot your recovery and wipe the handheld...
Than pick your sd card and plug directly to your pc and save a compatible room to your card and name it update.zip
Put the sd card on the phone and enter on recovery method on the phone and install the new ROM
I think you can do it
Hello, I believed I have an issue. Hope it not to serious. My problem is that i can't get passed the ASUS logo Splash screen.
1st: I was one stock jelly bean rooted cwm recovery v6.0.1.2 and decide I wanted to get on to Hydro 3.6 Jellybean (9/17)
2nd I downloaded the ROM wiped cache,delvic and factory reset then installed, didn't install at first so I tried a mirror and then it installed correctly restarted the tablet and here I am.
3rd: Tried clean rom 2.0 still no luck.
Please help I'm 15 and don't wanna break the bad news to my parents.
Ps: I am able to still boot into CWM recovery 6.0.1.2 tried everything nothing working and able to fastboot but cold boot and wipe data don't work and haven't shut off tablet since accident will remain on and charged.

It's just a softbrick. As long as you can get into fastboot you are ok.
I suggest reflashing the stock jellybean rom. You can download it from the asus website.
As for getting it into your device (i dont know if cwm supprots sd cards yet). You can use the adb push commands or you can flash twrp which supprots flashing from the sd card.
Also next time read the rom thread carefully. It specifically says you should use twrp.
Hey man try this, it works for me (Same situation but i'm 17 xD)
1) Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?5diezc69u1b16f8
2)Extract the "recovery1" folder in C:\ drive
3)Plug the tablet to PC and turn it on while pressing VOL- and POWER, then go to the fastboot mode (is the USB symbol)
4)Download from here ( http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...300T&p=20&s=16 ) the WW of US instead of the version of the tablet you have got, the extract the blob file in the "recovery1" folder
5)Open CMD, type cd c:\recovery1 then press enter
6)Type dir to see if all the files are in the folder
7)type this command fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
8)After is done, type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
9)Enjoy!
If you can't do any of this steps, post here and I will help you
Fixed It!

Hey actually like 10 mins after I posted I was able to install Clean Rom.
I formated every partition except sd card in v6.0.1.2 cwm recovery as well as factory reset and wipe dalvik.
Actually I like cwm recovery better and it does support microsd cards now. This is the jb/touch bootloader.
Thanks for the Help anyways.
.
Same problem, when i try to flash JB Hydro 3.6... i stuck into bootloop... i flash the official asus update and it works... But when i try to flash the hydro rom it doesn't work.... Why?
I guess you have the new JellyBean Bootloader... because of that you can only flash ROM's which are made for it...
.
I know... i update from jb ota to hydro... but when i flash the 3.6 i got bootloop... and now i can flash this rom...
Hello Comunity,
i would like to install costum Rom on TF300. So i do unlocked my device, put TWRP on it, got a rom on it. I flashed the rom and everything seems to be allright. After Installation my device stuck on the ASUS Logo. So I decid to do another Wipe...
Now i do a bad Mistake. I Format all Data on Tablet. After reboot the tablet it stucks on ASUS logo again. I ll start TWRP and want to install the rom again....and it is erased.
I look the whole forum for solutions and want to push the rom via adb from pc to tablet. but if i do this i get "no device" failure.
So i look to TWRP what i can eventuelly do and there it is: sdcard is not mounted. and i dont get it mounted.
so my question is: what can i do now?
for all who are interested
-i came from JB 4.2.1 Stock Rom
-i ve unlocked with asus app
-i use this blob for twrp: openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob (got twrp v 2.5.0.0 on tab)
-i do wipe all data
the rom i wanna flash is CROMi Xenogenesis.
So i would be very thankfull when somebody has an idea, how to get the rom from pc to my tablet.
Greetings and thanks
Cirdan
*EDIT: Thread can be deletet. Has solved the Problem. I ve startet the sideload option in TWRP and Sideload the ROM via ADB.*
Hello,
1st.: while starting this new thread, I looked through the automaticly generated similar threads and found non that was suiting my problem.
Last night I unlocked the bootloader of my wifes Xperia L (C2105) and got stuck into an boot loop. After this I had the need to flash an original rom (4.1.2). This results in an total wipe of the phone :crying:
Now the phone has an unlocked bootloader and an old Android Version. I want to install the pacman rom 4.4.4. I know i have to use cwm or twrp to do this, but do I need to root the device?
I'm a little bit confused. I thought installing the *.img-File from TWRP, with the folloing command, will get me the recovery option an with this option
Code:
c:\fastboot\Fastboot.exe flash boot C:\fastboot\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-taoshan.img
Can anyone help me out?
My wife is not upset, but with the boot loop from last night in my mind, I'm quit unsure what to do next.
many thanks in advanced
Felix
you need to root the device and use flashtool by androxyde(Easier and user friendly), first download the rom and put it in internal/external memory and then install thunderzap 4.12 by select bootkk.img and install it in fastboot mode in flashtool, now enter the recovery go into wipe and format options and choose clean to install a new ROM and then flash the pac rom and reboot
Root isn't necessary.
Download PAC ROM, Take boot.img inside the zip.
Flash boot.img via fastboot.
Boot into recovery, wipe data / factory reset.
Flash ROM and GApps.
That's it
NOP, you dont need to root to install a custom rom

you can download the rom, extract it and keep, boot.img file, in fastboot folder, and also keep the downloaded rom zip file in sd card for later use.
than you can use use fastboot commands to flash those boot.img which will install the recovery into your phone, than .
use reboot command in fastboot, it will reboot your phone, take out your cable, using volume up key go to recovery,
there clear all the cache and delvik cache file, then, install your custom rom by selecting from your sd card, it will take a bit of time for first time, so don't worry,
than you are done,
i accidentally erase recovery ,system now i try to install recovery through fast boot but i don't find an recovery for the device i found a file for recovery in one of this forum posts called recovery.bin and vrl.bin i install them they give me recovery splash screen without any choices menu like install from adb or install from sd card how can i get my recovery screen back any ideas
Try finding another recovery. Also I think you can flash a ROM through Fastboot, I am not sure.
