Hi!
I really need help with this one (Not much sleep has been had). I'll start at the beginning...
After owning my Nexus 5 for about a year, I did all I could with an unrooted phone. I wanted more, so I rooted it (Successfully on Android 5.0.1). Then I wanted to do a dual boot. Ended up going for MultiROM manager installed from the play store.
Long story short, the phone wouldn't boot back into stock Android OS, tried to remove MultiROM manager from recovery mode... and managed to format the entire disk...
Every guide I follow, I get stuck on getting my device to be recognised by adb. (I've installed Java JDK, Android Studio and all relevant SDK packages... i think, but worth a check)
Fastboot works fine however.
Is there another way that will work in my situation, I can't have been to only one to do this!?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Hello all. I am a relatively new member to XDA and I have actually posted this issue on the thread to from which I downloaded the custom ROM I'm running. I am using and LG G2 D800 running [ROM][5.0][CM12][UNOFFICIAL][ALL-VARIANTS] CyanogenMod 12.0 For The LG G2, which I installed about a month ago. I originally rooted my phone using towelroot and installed TWRP custom recovery 2.7.0.0. I installed 3 or 4 other custom ROMS, using just my phone, that I honestly had no idea how to root using a computer. Since, then I have learned and acquired the tools I need to root from my computer, and after trying for quite some time, was able to find drivers for my phone that allowed my computer to recognized it.
There are 2 main problems that arose about a day after installing this ROM.
Firstly, after I had installed all of the pertinent files needed to flash the above ROM, I attempted to install the beta version of SU that the thread related to the above ROM said was necessary to keep root. Well, that version did not install correctly, though the ROM did install and is working about as well as an experimental version of a ROM can....
Once the ROM had been running for about a day or so, I realized how buggy it was and decided that it would be smart to go back to a more stable ROM as Lollipop was just around the corner(Or at least a stable CM12).
So, I went to go back into my TWRP custom recovery to do a wipe then install another ROM that I had backed up. When I attempted to do this, I realized the 2nd BIG PROBLEM, my phone had stopped recognizing my internal sd card, so I was unable to view any Backups I had previously saved. So, I started researching and found the the adb shell code to get my phone to recognize my sd card, but when I tried to use the command to do so, I was given the reply that su(part of the command) could not be found. So, I posted again, and was told,"you need to re-root." Well, that is good and well, but I have tried every method I can find to root my phone from my PC, but they are all for LG G2 D800 running some lesser version of android, never 5.0....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and oh yeah, I was able to get the new Beta super SU file pushed onto my phone and saved in the remaining space it does recognize, but I couldn't actually install it to give me SU priveleges again. Basically, if I can re-root, I can get my SD card back, do a full wipe, then install another more stable ROM ASAP>
Thanks again, so so very much. Please, Please help me get this phone working. I'm feeling more and more like a fool everyday knowing Im paying for a phone I can barely even use....
Happy Holidays,
Thad

Hello my name is frans.
To start off, this is my first post. i have always looked for anwser here and always worked, never had any problems with rooting flashing or anything with phones.
Until now, i got a HTC Desire S (HBOOT- 2.02.002) And i am just about done with it.
I have been searching for about 20+ hours (Very sure i have spend more time on it) finding a ROM of android 4.3+ that works, i have been trying to flash every single rom for the phone and most of them fail or they succeed but then i get stuck on the HTC logo EVERY DAMN TIME.
Only specs i got is that it's on S-ON, the bootloader says *********** Unlocked ************
I have flashed boot.img's after flashing with the recovery.
Wiped dalvik and EVERY SINGLE MAP on the phone.
I have done everything in every gudie of android roms 4.3+ beside getting a downgrade of the HBOOT because when i try it fails every time.
It's like the phone wont even upgrade to 4.3 while there are many roms and devices that do have 4.3+
The reason i need 4.3+? I got an LG smartwatch eb71e It needs android wear for 4.3+, i paid about 80 for it and didnt really overlook specs.
I really want to get it to work.
Also the phone wont boot anymore only into the bootloader and recovery.
If you need any information about it i'd suggest you ask (Preferably how to find that piece of info you need too)
I hope that someone somewhere can help me because i am expecting some very important calls and i cant be reached because i cant get the thing to work. (broke cant afford a new phone)
Sincerely,

I have a 2012 nexus 7 (the old one with only one camera) I rooted it right after I bought it in 2012 and put cyanogenmod 10 on it. I decided it was time to update my cyanogenmod to 12. Everything went well at first. I was trying to download Google play and it tried to restart but never did (4 hours later). Now when I boot into recovery it says it has no OS?!?!?!
Is this thing a isles paperweight now? Is there anything I can do to get it up and running again? I was thinking if I could find an OS I might be able to download it to a PC then load it on to the tablet and install it. Where would I find a OS I can download without a million hoops to jump through?
Thank you in advance for any help I might get.

I bricked my nexus 5 by installing elementalx. I installed the right version and all. It was taking hours to boot it was staying on the boot animation. So i consulted a guide, like any other person. I wiped the partition that had android installed, as the guide said. But when it came time to use the ADB sideload feature that twrp includes, my pc will not detect my device whatsoever, adb or fastboot. I am freaking out. Please respond ASAP anyone. I have no OS installed now. All I have is TWRP. It was running 6.0.1 marshmallow.

Hey people,
I have a big problem and I am a big noob what contains to software, hardware is my thing.
Lets get straight to the point......
I have rooted my device(Kingzone K2) with Kingroot on Android lolipop 5.1.
the first time i tried to root it would not work because my phone had a unknown version of android or something like that, so i reported that to kingroot and a month later they made it possible to root on my device.
now I have rooted my device but I started up my phone and all of a sudden my phone was reset to factory setting.
I thought it would have been a accident with android devicemanager.
And up following I wanted to download apps and stuff but it gave me the error that Android.procces.media was stopped.
And the apps wont download I tried everything to download them, also camera and gallery wont work for the same reason.
So can someone please help me with this problem.......
Thanks.
