[Q] Deleted my OS! | OnePlus One - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today was the worst day ever. I rooted my phone, and it worked perfectly until today. What happened was that when I updated the Google Play Services, I lost connection anything Google related (No connection) I factory reset my phone 4 times, wiped the internal storage, and it still said that I couldn't connect to the Play Store (E.X Could not establish a reliable connection). So I went into recovery and went to Advanced Wipe, and without knowing so, I deleted my OS! Im so stupid..
I FORGOT I WASN'T AN IT...
For the past two days I've been trying to get back the OS (33R). Heres what I've done
1. Downloaded the XNPH33R OS from their website and tried to install it (says NO MD5 Verification)
2. Tried doing everything about resetting OS.
3. HUGEST PROBLEM : Whenever I try and do (e.g adb sideload <rom.>.zip, or flashing) It just says Error: Device not found
4. Downloaded ADB from the Android Debug Bridge, all of my cmd commands return the same thing.
3. Also a huge problem: When I try to flash, it says (device not unlocked) and then I unlock the bootloader (Im guessing what that is will unlock it) and then I go back to the Recovery and do it again on CMD, it repeats it.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
(If you need more information I will gladly give it to you)

Go into Device Manager, and make sure your OPO is listed as under ADB Interface while the OPO is in bootloader mode. If it's not there then yes install or reinstall the adb driver but make sure you don't have any other devices with a triangle next to it as that may be your OPO.

Does your OPO get listed when you enter "fastboot devices" ? When you had originally rooted and unlocked your OPO had you done it through CMD or a toolkit?

Ok so let me get this straight:
You had originally unlocked your bootloader and rooted through the cmd: "fastboot oem unlock" ?
Did you use this guide by any chance?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
Now you have no installed os and whenever you try to sideload or push stock 33R through adb it gives an error of the device not being found to the adb shell? Or does it complain that the bootloader is unlocked? If the second is happening you might need to reset the unlock and tamper bits,
Sorry if I'm asking something you already stated. I just want to be clear before I recommend anything or try to pull someone who's more experienced in for help.

Yeah I used that guide. And yes, what you stated is true. But another thing is that when I install the ROM, it says No MD5 file, but when I check the zip file, it says that there is a file called md5sum-fastboot.md5, I think that that is what TWRP is saying.

Are you able to use adb to push a zip to your internal storage?

If you can, just push a recovery flashable version of CM11S from here to your phone and flash it with TWRP. No sideload required.

He is right. If you can actually see the internal storage, you should be able to flash a flashable version of stock 33R from TWRP.
Actually if you are on the latest TWRP you can probably use the MTP functions and copy the file over without having to adb push it.
If you don't have the latest TWRP you can download the .img and flash it via the fastboot command. The latest is 2.8.0.1

So, anything else?

Recovery flashable version is the easiest solution.

Deleted more than I should

Apparently while doing a factory reset I managed to delete almost everything from internal storage. I've used cwm for years and made the switch to twrp recently. I could have sworn I checked everything BUT internal storage though. My data partition was showing something insane like 7 terabytes used so I wasn't able to make a nandroid. I instead deleted the data partition and somehow this happened.
Now I have no nandroids, and no more ROM zips. I attempted the procedure I used in the "how to unlock bootloader etc" thread, but when I try to push the ROM zip via the push command, it says no device found. I used Odin back in the day. Is it usable for any phone? Anyone know how to go about fixing this?
Odin is Samsung only. So, you can't adb push anything to the device?

I thought Odin was device specific. I was hoping I was wrong though. Adb push isn't working, it just says no device found twice in a row. I can see it if I do fastboot devices though. I'll try reinstalling the Adb drivers when I get home.

You have to be in recovery mode to do adb.
Fastboot devices is only while in fastboot mode.
Just adb sideload and not adb push. You have to go into ADB sideload in TWRP

Its okay, we all have our days enjoy your phone now. But yeah to elaborate more,
Odin is Samsung specific.
All other phones for the most part use fastboot. Which is pretty much our version of "Odin" but it is much better than Odin. Easier to use and less problems in my opinion.

[Q] oneplus one stuck at boot menu and ADB sideload refusing

hello everybody,
so my phones speakers stopped working and I couldn't fix them so I went to twrp recovery and executed a factory reset. This resulted in the device hanging at the boot screen. I then spent half an hour trying to get the drivers working and when it finally saw the phone and I wanted to sideload the 33R zip it just gave me this long list with possible command (see screenshot attached).
in fastboot it's not seeing the phone for some reason
I have access to the following:
TWRP Recovery
Fastboot
Any idea on how to get my phone working again?

First on your PC try typing adb devices it should return the device serial number in the command prompt.
If it does then in TWRP click advanced, ADB Sideload, then swipe the blue arrow.
Then on your PC command prompt type adb sideload "ROM/File Name.zip" without the quotes.
It should load from there.

Ok try adb push "ROM/File.zip" /sdcard
That will put the rom zip on the root of your sdcard and you can flash from there.

Try uninstalling the ones you have and installing this one.

Good luck man, I've got to get back to work.
I know the adb push "ROM/File.zip" /sdcard works because I tested on my phone prior to posting.
One last thought is your SDK might need to be updated as well.

Currently trying it on my laptop which has a fresh reinstall, removing the drivers completely will take too long.
Your driver saw it as a google galaxy nexus adb Interface, when I used adb devices it didn't see it.
EDIT: when I go to reboot it says that there is no os installed so yea...
Another Edit: I will try this driver when I get home and report back. OnePlus adb drivers windows
I managed to fix it using the oneplus one toolkit by manudroid

[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.

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.

[Q] ADB sideload Error:Closed

Despite hours of searching, I cannot find someone with my exact problem and a solution.
I have a nexus 5
It started bootlooping for no reason
I tried to flash the stock image, everything flashed but it still won't boot.
I tried to download kitkat but I'm using easy tether and I can't use HTTPS and nobody has mirrors.
I've done both the long way by flashing each individual file at a time
I've tried flash all and both fail, I do not get any errors I was not told to ignore during those processes.
Now, I'm fed up and want a new phone anyway. So I want to set the tamper flag to false so I an take it back.
I start following a guide, tells me to download the bootunlocker script and flash it with TWRP.
I flash TWRP with no problems and open it up
Open adb sideload
Open cmd
Type ADB devices
Serial pops up with the active state
I type adb usb
Restarts in usb mode
Type Adb push filename <location> <remote>
Daemon started successfully on port 5037
Error: Closed
I am on windows 7 using adb version 1.0.32.
Can someone please help me?
Why are you using ADB thru TWRP?
If you can flash things your device is already unlocked.
Boot your N5 to bootloader mode and flash stock images from there.
I haven't read one guide that says to use TWRP and use ADB that way.
Flash stock images thru bootloader and use the guides provided here on XDA.
You might of messed up your devices by flashing that bootunlocker. I've never heard of that or heard of flashing something thru recovery to unlock your phone.

I think you misunderstood. I haven't been able to flash bootunlocker yet because of the error with sideload.
I've already tried many times flashing the stock images in fastboot mode. My phone is unlocked but I just want to reset my tamper flag now, I'm not trying to fix it anymore.

I know that but are you planning to return the device? I should have been more clear.
Also when flashing stock images, are you wiping everything before/after flashing?
Also take note boot up time can be up to 10 minutes.

I've never used an adb usb command on any device whether pushing or sideloading.

That's because it doesn't exist, AFAIK.
I'm still very confused.

Don't type adb usb. Just use the push command. adb push bootunlocker.zip /sdcard/download

You don't need team viewer you need to read more. When you type adb devices what do you get?

It shows me my serial number and the status of the device.

Phone stuck on boot animation, won't sideload

I unrooted phone to update to Android 5.0.1
Wiped data & cache and tried to reboot but phone won't load past boot animation
I have tried everything I can find online. Phone appears in Device Manager as Android Device, but does not connect to PC when in command prompt.
adb devices shows no devices
when I start phone in fastboot, then recovery mode, I can select to install a file via ADB
when I choose this, and run adb devices in command prompt, it then shows a sideload device
but when I go to load a file, it gives me the same error every time:
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks.

What recovery have you got and what file are you sideloading?
All you have to do is restart the phone in bootloader and make a fresh install of factory image via fastboot.

I'm not sure unfortunately... Is that something I can find out from the Fastboot menu?
I was trying to sideload a factory image 5.0 or 5.0.1

You can't sideload a factory image. You must use fastboot.

How can I make my Acer read Nexus 5 to install factory image via command prompt?
It comes up in Device Manager, driver seems to be installed fine, as Android Device but does not connect properly (no devices listed in "adb devices")
You use fastboot in bootloader if you want to use factory images.
Read the following 2 threads in general > sticky roll-up
- adb and fastboot
- flashing factory images / save your nexus

Oh okay, my bad. Do I have any options to sideload anything, or is there a way to make phone connect for fastboot? Again, it's visible in Device Manager w/drivers, but not in command prompt. Thank you
will try above suggestions and report back

After downloading the recommended Driver file from adb and fastboot thread, I unzip it to a folder and attempt to install in Device Manager. I get error saying "the hash for the file is not present in the specified file log..."

Yes uninstalled drivers through Device Manager & did the restart through the settings as outlined there.
Will try to download google usb driver from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top
Edit: this driver installed correctly. Device now appears in device manager as Android Bootloader Interface (phone is at Fastboot screen)

Wow thank you, your thread suggestion was exactly what I needed. I did not know the difference between ADB & Fastboot.
Silly mistake but one that I couldn't solve through several hours of internet searches yesterday. Thanks for your time and insight, have a great day
Nexus 5 fixed
