Database Info

What did I do to my phone? Please help.

On a mac here. I think I got a bit over my head here with the 2.20 root. I did all of the bootloader unlocking successfully, installed TWRP, and then downloaded CM10, and flashed the boot.img.
Now when trying to boot the phone I get stock on the screen with "This Build is for development only."
I can get into recovery, but don't really know what to do from there. I'm trying to mount, but can't get the computer to recognize the device. Tried a factory reset and it failed. I'm not quite bricked, but sort of stuck and don't know what to do. I'd love to get CM10 working, but at least I want to be able to use my phone.
I'm pretty new to Android so sorry for newbishness.
Thanks anyone for your help.

Just to add, I'm getting the message "no OS installed" when trying to reboot in recovery.

Did you flash the boot.img first, then the ROM?
Can you wipe System?

Sorry, what's the difference betwwen boot.img and the rom itself? I only flashed boot.img. I did wipe the system.

The boot.img has the kernel in it. If you didn't flash the CM10.zip you have no operating system.
Wipe System, and Factory Reset
Flash boot.img
Flash the CM10.zip, flash google apps, and you should be good after that

Now flash the rom zip from recovery (twrp)
Sent from a slithery smooth phone!

So to flash the zip file for the ROM and gapps, I just enter fastboot flash boot 'rom.zip' or 'gapps.zip'?
Also, what do I do after I've flashed them?
Thanks so much for your help

no,you flash the boot.img in fastboot, and then you flash the rom.zip and gapps.zip from recovery (twrp)

No, do a clean wipe.
boot your phone into fastboot
download the fastboot files http://www.mediafire.com/?4dx982z93w8z7wk and extract them to your desktop
on your computer, open up cmd and type
cd desktop
cd foldername (the folder that has fastboot.exe)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot into recovery
flash CM10, flash gapps, reboot

I see. The problem is that I seem to be unable to mount my phone and sd card through recovery.

Trying to push the zips using adb using './adb push cm10.zip/sdcard' but when I enter this command in terminal it seems to just reload adb, and not push the file.

I think you are typing the command wrong
./adb push file /destination
or ./adb push cm10.zip /mnt/sdcard
./adb push cm10.zip /sdcard
whatever the mount point is for the sdcard

Tried that too. It just reloads the opening adb dialogue.

does ./adb devices return your phone as connected?

Well, now it doesn't. Instead of reloading the adb dialogue now, when I try the push command it says device not found. Just came out of nowhere. How do I make it recognize the phone again?
Thanks for bearing with me here. I think I'm really close.

I'm not familiar with OS X and android, are there any specific drivers you may need to install?
Are you in your bootloader or recovery?

All necessary drivers were installed. The device was being recognized before, but for some reason isn't now. I'm stuck on the "This build is for development purposes only" screen now since I can't get into recovery or bootloader using adb now since the device isn't recognized...

Ok, I'm connected again somehow. Now just trying to figure out this pushing issue. Entered this command './adb push /android/cm10.zip /sdcard and it looked like it was working then said "failed to copy to /sdcard"

because it is probably at /mnt/sdcard

Successfully pushed the files. Of course, I've hit another problem. Trying to install the ROM through TWRP and it's failing. Same with Gapps. I'm seeing "unable to mount /sdcard" and unable to mount storage. I've already cleared cache, wiped system, factory reset/

HELP with TWRP install

HOX+
4.2.2 sense 5
Unlocked with HTCdev
I have followed ALL the steps from 'Lucky Thirteen', http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910, but can`t get TWRP to install.
Everything goes fine until I use ``fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img`` command.
The laptop finds the phone because I`ve got ``fastboot usb`` showing on phone screen.
When I type the above fastboot command the message I get is ``error: cannot load ``TWRPrecovery.img`` : unknown error
I`ve spent hours on here trying to find solution... I´ve tried running command in the ``platform tools`` folder where the file is, tried downloading the TWRP file again, tried renaming without .img as suggested, EVERY suggestion I can find. Still won`t install.
Please help, phone still works OK, just can`t get a recovery installed.
Thanks

Further to my OP I`ve since been able to install TWRP through Hasoon2000`s ``all in one tool```.
Could the problem be something to do with ´´fastboot commands`` ?
If so, am I likely to have problems when I try to flash a boot.img with commands ?
Thanks

[Q] One S without OS after flashing MAXIMUSHD

Hi,
yesteday I tried to flash on my One S the ROM MaximusHD. I followed the guide till it says to use this command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP2.6.1.0.img" becaus the prompt said this "FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail". Then I tried to use this command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP2.6.1.0.img" and the prompt said "error: cannot load 'TWRP2.6.1.0.img': Unknown error". Then I reset the phone and now it's stuck in recovery saying it has no OS and when I try to connect it to the PC it says that it has only 48,6 MB of storage, so I can't upload the backup or the ROM. What do I have to do?
Thank you,
Christian

So the your s-off and no ROM I guess so you will need to do is
*If you have not got in the new twrp on your phone it will not work the older versions are for the old firmware*
Wipe the whole SD card in twrp
Adb push the ROM over
And reboot
If the old twrp is not work you can try and use the recovery switcher made by flyingrub and change it to the new one

[Q] HTC One X (ATT) No OS

Long story short, I had an issue with my HTC One X that I received from a friend. It would load up and then immediately restart about 15 seconds after getting to lock screen. I was just stuck in a boot loop.
So I decided to flash a new rom onto the phone, but neither I nor my friend had created a backup so now my OS is wiped.
I can boot into recovery mode, though. I'm not sure what the first screen is called, but it's the one with the skating androids. It tells me:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

I had read somewhere that I need to upgrade my TWRP in order to properly install roms, but at the current moment, running adb devices in a command prompt pointed at my adt bundle folder does not work. It just has a blank list.
Attached is a photo with what I think are the most relevant things I've downloaded/installed so far.
It does look like I can connect my phone to the computer via Mount USB Storage, but sideloader does not work since adb devices is blank.
Any thoughts?

The first screen with the skating Androids is your bootloader, FYI. Adb commands aren't used for flashing a recovery, fastboot commands are used. You do indeed need to update TWRP, the version you currently have installed isn't compatible with any current ROMs. Click the guide link in my signature, there are instructions on anything you need to do there.

I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. ADB worked once. I was able to get it to detect in recovery. ADB Devices would give me the customary string of numbers followed by "RECOVERY" and then I rebooted the phone for some reason and it stopped working. Oh, during that time I was also able to move stuff to the phone via ADB Sideload, but I would get pretty much the same errors when installing, which I later found out was because my TWRP was too old. I can't seem to get it to connect via ADB/Fastboot anymore. I can, however mount via TWRP.

There's your problem. Windows 8.1 isn't compatible with fastboot. You'll need to get access to a PC with a lower version of Windows so you can update TWRP.

You're gonna need to get s-off so you can update your firmware. In order to get s-off you'll need to flash the Kickdroid ROM. Once you've flashed Kickdroid you can go to the Rumrunner s-off site and get s-off. Then follow the instructions in my guide thread to update your firmware.

Alright, so I managed to get the Kickdroid ROM working! So right now I at least have a working phone that I can use! Thanks a TON for getting me this far.
Rumrunnner seems to not be working right for me. I'm in ADB recovery and can confirm an ADB connection, but it's still displaying

Flashfire can't see my zip

I am trying to use Flashfire v0.53 to update my Google-sourced, rooted Pixel from 7.1.0 (build NDE63X) to 7.1.1 (build NMF26V). I've downloaded sailfish-ota-nmf26v-1988a458.zip to my phone and can see it with a root file browser but when I direct Flashfire to the same directory it lists no files. Any thoughts? If I'm going about updating my phone the wrong way, I'm happy to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks.

FlashFire is not working on this phone last I heard. Flash it with TWRP.

I've tried pointing TWRP at the OTA zip I got from Google and it fails. Perhaps because I need to unroot first? I was hoping Flashfire would do that for me. `adb sideload` failed, too.

You need to use fastboot. There are a few detailed guides in the "guides" section of both the pixel and pixel xl forums.
Basically you have to edit the flashall.bat file and remove the -w option so that it doesn't wipe. Then you have to fastboot boot into twrp then reflash twrp.zip and SU.zip
All the info is here just look around

Copy the OTA zip you downloaded, from your phone to your computer. Reboot into TWRP. Go to Advanced and choose "ADB sideload"(not sure if that's exactly what it's called). Once the phone is waiting for ADB, go back to your computer and open a command prompt and type "adb sideload OTA.zip". OTA.zip will be the zip you downloaded. Example: if you copied it to C:\ you would type "adb sideload c:\sailfish-ota-nmf26-xxxxxxxx.zip" or whatever the zip is named.
That is how you would sideload an OTA. If you downloaded a full factory image then open "flash-all.bat" in notepad, remove the "-w"(it's towards the bottom), connect your phone, reboot to bootloader, run flash-all.bat.
Both a full image and OTA will remove your root and TWRP. You will need to re flash recovery and reroot after updating. Just follow the same guides you did originally.

I don't seem to be able to find the OTA on my phone. Not sure where it gets put.
From your description of using the full image, I imagine I 1) unzip the factory image zip, 2) edit the flash-all.bat in the result, 3) run flash-all.bat (that is, I don't rezip and try to use the package). Right?

That's correct. If you downloaded the OTA with System Updates then I'm not sure where it gets stored. If you downloaded it from Google then it would be in your downloads folder.

You can try the guide I wrote here to sideload the full ota zip from google.

I though the problem might be the old TWRP in my phone so I used the alpha2 I had to install rc1.

Now I'm in a boot loop. TWRP -- when it comes up at all -- says it is alpha2 and it doesn't prompt for the code to decrypt my data so the directory listing is gibberish. What do I do now? Reflash 7.0? Flash 7.1?
To recap, I have a Pixel I bought from Google with an unlocked boot loader and TWRP installed but can't boot to Android.

That looks like an ADB device driver problem. Do you see your device listed with ADB devices when in TWRP/Advanced/Sideload?

Power it down, hold power button and volume down to get it into fastboot.
Fastboot flash TWRPfilename.img
And if that does not work download the full factory image but edit flashall.bat to remove the -w which will save your data and flash the whole thing.

So, I think I had to do this. `adb` lists my device but when I try to sideload it says the device (null) doesn't exist.
Do I somehow tell `fastboot` to use the factory image .zip file or do I unzip it, edit flashall.bat, then run flashall.bat?

Unzip it into your fastboot directory. Then edit and run flashall.
