Sorry if I'm doing something wrong here, I've just made an account now because I'm in need of drastic help. I was trying to install CyanogenMod on my Moto G 1st generation. While it was on its first boot, it froze or something, so I did what the internet suggested and did a reset for everything. Then, obviously, when I tried to install CM12 again, I couldn't because it wasn't on the internal storage, and neither was the stock OS. So now all I can do is just sort of.. be on TWRP Recovery. I'm really worried about this, and all googling the question did was confuse me, so please, please, please can someone sum up what I need to do with links, just to either get CM12 back on internal storage, or recover stock. Thank you!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. This may sound like a stupid question, but what's stopping you from connecting your phone to your PC and copying a ROM zip across to the phone?

Sorry, I probably should've specIified. This is gonna sound really stupid (again) but I installed the CM12 ROM directly from my phone in stock before I went on Recovery, so I guess what I was really asking was how I can transfer the CM12 ROM to my phone without actually using it. Thanks for replying! If I get back on my phone, I'm sure there'll be a lot of angry people asking where I've been

What do you mean by this? You have TWRP recovery on the device, right? So connect your phone to your PC and it should show up as a removable drive so you can copy a zip across.

It doesn't show up as a removable device. Usually, I have to unlock the phone first before I can access it. I'm just wondering if there's a way to flash CM12 without using moving the files into the internal storage (because I can't put it there). Or, if there's a way to get my internal storage up on the computer without unlocking my phone first (because I can't do that either)

What do you mean by unlocking the phone? When you're booted into Android? It's completely different when booted into TWRP. Do you have MTP enabled? The option is in the mount menu I believe.
If for whatever reason you can't get it to show as a removable drive (which you should be able to do), you can try the adb sideload feature. Here's a guide:
[HOW TO] ADB Sideload/Push if you Wipe Internal Storage & No ROM to Flash [19 May 15]
Sideload is good for your situation as all you need to do is put the ROM zip in your adb/fastboot folder on your PC.
Good luck!

Boot into recovery. Then go to Mounts and Storage, and mount USB storage. Connect your phone to your computer and your SDcard contents should show.
Transfer the latest CM10 nightly to your SDcard. Then flash it and hopefully all should be fine.

THX your god, it works fine my phone is back :good:
Rooted my N5 yesterday and it was working fine. Then today, I was trying to flash the Camera app from Jinshu when I got stuck on the dancing circles screen... went back into TWRP recovery and, I think, accidentally flashed the entire internal storage...
I can still get into TWRP, but when I click reboot > system , I get a warning message "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" :crying:
I am using a Mac and have the SDK etc. installed, but I don't even see the device as a USB device in order to try and figure out how to get the system files back on the device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
A
You've got a few options...forgive me if you've tried any of these already...I'm just offering ideas for you to find one that works for you...
1) restore a nandroid backup if you have one
or
2) ADB sideload a zip for one of the roms in the development sections
or
3) ADB push then flash a zip from the development sections
or
4) Flash the factory images using fastboot

Download this ROM (Odex)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507861
Boot in TWRP, and either use adb sideload:
./adb sideload path_to_hammerhead_KRT16M_odex_signed.zip
or use adb push
./adb push path_to_hammerhead_KRT16M_odex_signed.zip /data/media/0
Then proceed with flashing it from recovery.
Yep, you have plenty of options so don't panic. Personally, I'd use this as an opportunity to teach yourself how to setup and use ADB and Fastboot commands to flash factory images. Once you teach yourself how to do this properly you will no longer get overly concerned when another situation like this inevitably occurs. This will be a learning experience that you will benefit from later on.
If you are on a Mac, follow THIS GUIDE to properly setup ADB/Fastboot for use. Then use THIS GUIDE to learn how to properly flash a factory image.
Thanks for your quick responses guys...
While I was searching, I found this site: liciousroms dot com slash nexus5_restore.html (sorry, cannot post URLs just yet!)
I was able to get the stock .img files from the download package for system, recovery and boot, and as you guys pointed out, learned the utility of fastboot to get the images onto the device
Recovered, booted, and just getting back in business.
Thanks so much !!!

For other folks that will run into this problem, note that TWRP 2.6.3.1 supports USB OTG. You can load a ROM into an sd card, plug it into the USB OTG cable and then into the phone and TWRP will mount it.

A few things:
1) I wouldn't download stock images from any websites other than official. People could bake in all kinds of stuff. There's no need for other sites to re-host official stock images, so there's usually a reason why they would.
2) I mean no offense by this, but if you're unsure enough in what you're doing to accidentally format the entire internal storage then you should do a lot more research before attempting this stuff. This is reversible, your next accident might not be. I don't ordinarily assume, but judging by your username and the accident you've committed I'd assume you're fairly young...so blowing another $400 on a new device because you bricked this one from a mistake is probably a big deal. Take some time and understand, completely, what you're doing.
3) That being said, Nexus devices are made to be open. They're made for people to modify and have fun with. Explore and experiment all you want, just make sure to have a good NANDROID backup before you do.

Good point. I'll reflash to the openrecovery-twrp-xxx version shortly anyway, but the point is valid and I'll make sure to have an official image and regular NANDROID backups handy for future experiments

Use "adb push" to copy a zip from your PC to your phone.
The command would be like this:

Boot into boot loader and use the flash-all.bat that's inside the factory image. Unzip it using 7-zip. You'll see it in there. Boot into bootloader, plug your usb cable in and run the bat file
Edit, you'll lose everything on your phone

Hi all,
Well its been a while since been on here and played with android..
Anyway I have the one xl, was rooted running kickdroid. Was giving phone to wife n decided to wipe,,,,, and it all went downhill from there
For some reason, I factory reset but then decided to wipe from in recovery and foolishly ticked all boxes, so wiped SD, EXt SD, cache etc.
TWRP v2.6.3
Can see zip file now but says cannot open zip file (kickdroid xl v 5.0.0)
Also says do you really want to reboot no OS installed
And no root, then offers to install but fails....
I think I'm close but soo far, I just need some good advice... please
Hmm then it was having trouble being seen by pc, so formatted again with an HP usb tool, that seemed to work better.
But now I cant recall nor find how to get the rom up n running again, I tried copying to sd and trying to run from recovery but no zip files showing... should it go in android secure?
So now I'm kinda stuck n could really use some help....please!
Currently... its formatted 32gb fat32 but only shows 24gb, guess rest system or something..
Was rooted but twrp tells me not now and its attempts to install root fail
Its all unlocked S-OFF, CID 11111111
HBOOT 2.18.0000
Radio 1.35a. 32.45.27
I know its not bricked but I have now been at this for hours n going round in circles....
Can someone PULEEEZE guide me?

You've lost root because you wiped your /system partition. You have the correct amount of storage. Have you tried putting any other ROM zips on it to flash or have you only tried Kickdroid? It doesn't need to be in Android Secure, just anywhere on the virtual sd card. Do you have any folder structure on the sd card at all when you use the install function in TWRP?

It might be worth trying an earlier version of TWRP, 2.6 to be exact. In my opinion things started to go a bit downhill after that build. You can download it here:

I'd flash TWRP 2.6, wipe the sd card, copy a zip across, and try to flash it.

Eassus partitioning found almost half drive bad sectors
No idea how this happened, was fine before, I'm hoping that its a magnetic deformation, which from what I read can be fixed..?
Might need to buy some software to achieve this, however if it fixes, then I'd be happy.
Other options, open phone and replace drive, is this possible on an HTC one xl?
Ive ran HDD regenerator in premade n its found to be all ok, I'm assuming this is magnetic damage not physical damage, going to run a low level format n go from there.
If phone was 10yrs old or something i'd accept as stuffed but at a year and previously working fine, I think its been a bad format, which I'm hoping is fixable

Hi XDA.
This was a thread I started last night ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/one-chinese-import-flash-to-bacon-issue-t2923211) and where it ends is where I realised my device wasn't unlocked. "yeah I know"
So I downloaded and followed these steps shown on this great tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O2e_R_TbVg
But now my phone appears to have no OS. It wont show up as a USB device to allow me to put a zip across to install.
I have learnt alot this evening and am enjoying the process and this is the last step....
If I haven't bricked my phone!
Any help much appreciated.
That's the video that gets you to use a toolkit, right? My first piece of advice: ditch the toolkit and never use one again. They're more trouble than they're worth and clearly cause problems. Plus doing things manually allows you to actually learn a great deal of crucial stuff that you really need to know. Anyway, please provide some more information on your device, is the bootloader unlocked now? Do you have TWRP recovery installed?
Transmitted via Bacon
Hi and thanks for replying. I followed the guide and unlocked and installed TWRP and can access it easily but when tring to re boot the device it just stays on the +1 logo.
I have subsequently tried unlocking again if that was the problem.
Boot the phone into TWRP, go into the wipe menu and perform a factory reset, then reboot the phone.

Ok just tried a factory reset and it failed stating among many things.

Yep, that's the one. Keep in mind though that I haven't yet updated that to suit the latest version (38R), so you can download the latest version from here:

ONLY follow the instructions in section 8.

Make sure the zip file is in the fastboot folder aswell and make sure the name of the file you use in the command is identical to the name of the zip file.
After the final step your phone should boot again.
I went to wipe my phone to sell it and in doing so I wiped pretty much everything. I can get it go into fastboot mode and load TWRP but thats about it. Please let me know what I need to do to get this thing back up and running. Thank you in advance.
Flash the 44S fastboot images, I have instructions in my guide thread:

Do I do each of those steps or do I skip some things to do what I need too. I am very new at this and don't understand how to get the rom on the phone to update. Sorry for my lack of knowledge.
I bought the phone already rooted so I didn't do it. I downloaded liquidsmooth rom on the phone and installed in twrp which was easy. I made a nono when I clicked internal memory Im assuming.
They're sections in my guide, not steps. Section 8 is the section you need to do, you don't need to worry about the other sections.

Oh Im getting such a headache from this. How do I get adb.exe and fastboot.exe on my computer? Way out of my league here. I may just need to find someone local to do this.

Try the 15 second adb installer. Assuming you have Windows.

Thank you very much. This worked and made me feel like a super computer geek lol. Looks like I lost root but really don't care at this point. Thank you once again.

You can get root again, just by installing TWRP recovery and flashing SuperSU. Again, details are in my guide thread.
