If your backup got deleted then it is lost forever. Flash cwm again then flash the rom you used before L
You should keep a copy of the backup off your device. Maybe third time will be the charm.

There is the problem. You didnt tell where to push the zip.
Use this:
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0
after that you should see the rom.zip on the internal storage

If you don't have path variables set up make sure your rom.zip is in the platform-tools folder of the sdk.
NM. Looks like you do have path variables set up. That second longer error in you screen shot is because you put a space after rom. The first looks like it can't read it because your typing the name wrong. Remember it's case sensitive so Rom.zip and rom.zip are two different things.

Doing this from my phone so don't flame me, but I'm getting an error in recovery trying to format data. Can someone help?
It's error removing /data/misc/bluetoothhd/F4:6D:04:4E:62:A4/config. Just says error formatting data. Thanks in advance

I don't quite get what you mean, but if you're having trouble deleting a file, you can try manually deleting it with a root browser or using ADB.
Can't boot into a rom

Put your tab in recovery mod, go to mounts and storage and mount data, connect to you PC, go to the command line and put
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/misc/bluetoothd/F4:6D:04:4E:62:A4
rm config
and then format data again

After you connect the tab and the drivers install, does Device Manager show anything related to adb?

Yea, I'm reading it. I'm gonna reinstall everything while I'm at it cause I installed the sdk a while back and just did whatever. I don't even remember what I was thinking.
Alright. I'm getting impatient. How do I manually install the drivers? Cause its still not installing automatically

It didn't work. Do you mean format via adb, or w/ the tab?
Just curious, out of about 250 views, no one has an idea of what to do?
Alright, out of being desperate, I decided to give nvflash tool a go, and now I'm stuck in APX mode >_<
It fails after formatting everything and says it cannot locate the recovery.img after succeeding w/e it pushed prior to that. So I'm assuming I can get it to work, I just don't know what to do from here...

Hi,
I have root,is there anyway we can make use of this great screen easily by getting rid of the navigation on the bottom and the google search bar then use a pie app for navigation?
Cheers.

FYI this has been covered in at least a few threads here.
But this is what I did-
Install this app (it's what I use) or a similar one of your choosing- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.eatheat.pie&hl=en
And add this line to your build.pro to get rid of your navbar- qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Reboot after editing your build.prop.
That's all you gotta do.

Did you edit anything else in your build.prop? All that does is trick the phone into thinking you've got hardware keys, thus eliminating the need for a navbar. There's no reason why that mod alone would cause your phone to not boot. Can you get into fastboot or recovery?

Well you can try using adb to push an unedited build.prop back to /system and that should get you running again.

Just download the stock ROM and pull it out of /system. There should be one over in the dev section.
If you're not familiar with adb, you should probably be able to copy the build.prop over with the file manager in TWRP. Just put it on your SD and use TWRP to move it to /system.
If you have trouble finding the build.prop just let me know and I'll pull mine and post it for you.

What do you mean by usb storage? You can flash your rom by sideloading it under your recovery.
adb sideload rom-name.zip

when u open the recovery go to mount then mount usb storage
it makes ur pc read your phone so you can transfer some files
i used it many times in my old phone " Nexus s "

I'm also using a mac. if your downloading the sdk from google u go to sdk/platform-tools and theres the adb file.
Next you need to place the rom file in the same folder
then you need to go to your recovery under install from sideload
and then in your terminal
./adb sideload rom-name.zip
after transfering from mac it gets installed directly

that should be tricky trying a rom without installing it.
The only solution I know would be doing a backup before. Then installing it and then restoring the backup.
There should be some other recovery where u can manage your roms. but I cant remember.

Hello Guys,
Today I was training to put my DPI higher, so my grandfather could see the screen.
Sadly when I booted with a DPI of 720, the process 'Trebuchet' stops.
The message of it, will continue again and again.
Do you guys maybe know how I can change my DPI back? (Using Recovery or bootloader)?
Thanks!
Try all winner apk. Not sure but might be it can help u.

I cannot boot my phone, so using an app is not a option.
The only thing I can do is use Bootloader and TWRP (recovery).

Use adb, connect device to computer, adb shell, cd/system, open build.prop by using nano build.prop change DPI back to required value Ctrl x saves the file. Exit to get out of adb shell and reboot phone.

At his moment, I got another problem.
All the adb commands return: "error: device not found".
The USB Debugging is on, to do that, I used "setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1".
But now it still does not find the device.

Could somebody upload his/her build.prop?
I think that would do the job.
Sorry for my answer to your problem... I want to say that next time when you want to modify the DPI use the above app. Anyway, whatever...
I fixed it, with flashing a new rom.
After 20 tries, I could copy the .zip to my /sdcard/ folder and I could flash it.
Thanks for trying to/the help.
