[Q] TWRP problem

I want to root my tablet so I flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 using fastboot everything works fine.
But now I want to install the zip to root the tablet, problem is TWRP cannot mount any storage, internal sdcard external sdcard nothing at all is alway says E:Can't mount 'xxx' on anything I tap.
I tried CWM, and 2.5.0.0 and nothing seems to work.
I can boot fine in the stock OS, everything works fine but that
My bootloader is 10.6.1.27.1-20130711
Can anyone help me?

Ok now it is bad, I tried to factory reset using the bootloader (power + volume down)
It booted in the buged TWRP and now it keeps booting in TWRP and I cannot even reach the bootloader

Try using adb commands to boot into bootloader.
ADB reboot-bootloader is the command that I think you must use. Of course, use adb devices to see if your tab is listed.

I cannot get this to work on Windows 8, I have Asus Transformer ADB interface lister in device manager but I cannot see my device with the adb devices command.
Also, in TWRP when I try adb sideload it says failed.

win 8 is the worst OS you want to use when it comes to fastboot/adb (even with secpol.msc full admin access)
get your hands on a win7 / vista /xp
oh and TWRP2.6 is kinda bugged - flash 2.5 or lower
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12 but skip the steps you dont need (system, data userdata etc.)

I'm now on my laptop with Win7,
Ok so I tried to reset my device with a needle, but I cannot get it to the bootloader.
Still stuck in TWRP, I tried to go with ADB, I installer google usb driver from Android SDK, I cannot get it to be recognized by ADB, in the device manager I only see Transformer with a yellow "!", I tried with the Asus usb driver, nothing either.
Is there something else I can do to get this recognized with ADB? (fastboot doesn't work either)
I tried unpluging all, uninstalling all and reinstalling like 3 times.
Thanks for your help

fastboot should work. hold Vol-down and reset the device and keep vol-down pressed. it should go to fastboot. when you're in fastboot connect it to your laptop and see if the OS recognized your device - if not you have a driver issue. resolve that by installing the asus driver or the newest google generic drivers.
when you can see your device on dosprompt/powershel with fastboot devices then continue with getting recovery to work.
btw- stuck in twrp means? booting twrp (teamwin screen) but not responding?
good luck

The problem is I cannot even get into fastboot, it keeps booting into TWRP, I tried to reset the tab with a needle, but I cannot reach fastboot in any ways

but you are still able to boot into android?

I was until I tried a factory reset, it wasn't working in Android so I did it in the fastboot menu.

can you boot into twrp? and i mean just boot into it? so that you see install, backup, restore etc. buttons?
if yes - twrp has an adb mode
connect your tab in twrp to your pc (check that you can see it - adb devices) if yes type: adb reboot bootloader
and you should boot into that. test it with fastboot devices.
most important thing is that you get into fastboot or a working recovery to flash or prepare to flash a (custom) rom back onto your device.

I can get in TWRP on 2.5.0.0
But when I try ADB sideload it fails
The message is ADB sideload complete - Failed in red + lots of errors like Unable to mount '/data' '/cache' /system' pratically everything (note that I had the same problem of mounting when I was able to boot into Android)

Well I rooted 4 different android device and not a single one of them wasn't able to mount anything in recovery mod. I knew exactly what I was doing until I got in the recovery mod who won't even recognize my internal storage meanwhile I was able to perfectly boot in Android

dude - you can't boot into android anymore, you can't boot into fastboot to your own accord - yet you try to sideload stuff in twrp for what ever reason.
i gave you more hints and tips in my previous posts and link to get it to work yet it eems you did none.
so don't get me wrong - but what excactly is your goal here?

My goal is to get it working again...
I don't know if you've been reading my post but I did try everything you told me without sucess.
None of the tips I tried got me adb or fastboot working the sideload mode of TWRP doesn't work.

yes i read your posts - but im still unclear what you are trying to accomplish with sideload?
ok from the start:
when in twrp - connect your tab to your laptop - is windows working with it (drivers ok?) "adb devices" shows the device? if yes - adb reboot-bootloader (or fastboot reboot bootloader, not quite sure atm since i'm at work without micro usb cable) when issued the command is the tab rebooting? - and if yes, is it rebooting into twrp or fastboot? what screen is shown after that?

ok from the start:

Windows isn't working with it, I tried Google usb driver, asus usb driver, universal adb driver, none of them work, this is where i'm stuck

when its connected - is device manager at least showing it as faulty or not at all? (yellow triangle exclamation mark thingy, i just installed asus on my VM) -> see attached file

UPDATE: I succeeded to go in fastboot mode
I couldn't get my tab to be recognized by windows so I installer my Nexus 4 using the toolkit, when it was succesfully installed I could manually install my tab since the "android devices" option appeared in the list when you want to manually install a driver in the devices manager. So I could choose Asus ADB interface.
Now I can boot into Android, but it will go into TWRP as soon as I restart my tablet.
Now I will try the link you sent me to get TWRP recognize my storage so I can flash a new rom, I will let you know if something go wrong.
Thanks for helping

If you are able to go to recovery(which you should be able to do), download any custom ROM of your choice like PA, CM, SLIM etc.. flash that rom by following the Installation instructions in the thread. YOu should be able to get the phone back to normal. And if you want the stock ROM, then download the stock files and flash it, you might loose custom recovery, then follow the same things you did to get TWRP in the first place.

I would if I could. The problem is I formatted the whole phone which included the internal storage too. My CM Rom is in the internal storage and it's already deleted. I tried to connect my phone to the pc so that I could transfer a rom into it but failed cause my pc won't recognized my phone as the media transfer devices. It's only recognized my phone as fastboot falcon s. I've installed Motorola Device Manger but it's also failed. I also tried to install using adb sideload but I got device not found error and my phone doesn't listed in the device attached after I typed 'adb devices'. For the OTG and memory card reader method I haven't try yet because I don't have any of it.

What does it say when you try
Code:
adb devices
or
when you reboot to bootloader with phone connected and type
Code:
fastboot devices
If it shows a device for fastboot devices then follow this to flash back to stock. Make sure you download the right stock firmware for your phone.

It seems like you dont have fastboot files. Follow the same link that i posted in the previous one. It has portable adb & fastboot files. Download that and then follow instructions. You should be able to get to fastboot. Once you are there the job is almost done. Hope it helps
Edit: Here is the link to download and install the minimal adb & fatsboot files

I've followed all the instructions but my phone still not rebooting. When I try to reboot it, it only show me the warning of unlocked bootloader screen, black screen, warning of unlocked bootloader screen then dead android screen. What should I do now?

It means your phone is in fastboot mode and recognised by your PC. Next you'll have to "fastboot flash" the necessary files to install a recovery and a system, and you should be good to go.

Few weeks back I ****ed up soft bricked my phone had kindda same issue when I switch my phone on I get a dead android logo. Gave to the service center in India and got a replacement a new xt1033
P.s I was trying to root and my warranty was void still got a new one try your luck bruhhh

Hey, I've done all of the flashing instruction from the xda forum link that you gave me. My problem for now is, why is my phone not rebooting? The only thing that happen after the flashing is my phone only show the 'warning bootloader unlocked' and the dead android with red triangle screen. It won't boot into the stock rom that I've flashed. The stock rom/firmware that I used is correct. Please help me.. I really need to use my phone.

K there's a resolve for this...Provided that you haven't ****ed up your phone by making it hard bricked...
1 - Get a freaking rom and sideload it through TWRP to boot into system...
+ Download a ROM
+ Put it in the same folder as ADB and Fastboot and rename it to something easier that you can type exactly (ex: 1.zip, backup.zip...)
+ Shift + Right Click at a blank field in the window
+ Choose Open Command....
+ On TWRP, go to Advanced => Sideload => Tick the 2 boxes => Swipe to start sideloading
+ Type in adb sideload <yourzipname>.zip on the cmd (on your computer)
+ Wait for the process to finish, then you now have a working phone...
2 - Follow this guide using the proper firmwares that match your original one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

Your PC will not recognize it as media transfer / storage while you are in bootloader / fastboot mode, its perfectly normal. When you type fastboot devices it should show you a number which means it working as intended. This is an old thread but it shows how to transfer your ROM to sdcard via adb push command. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

The output of the "fastboot devices" command clearly shows your phone is recognised by your PC. As I said all you need to do now is use the correct "fastboot flash" commands to restore recovery and system. Tutorials can be found in this forum.

Thank you.
I would like to say thank you to all peoples who help me solving my lost os problem. Thanks for all the informations. My moto G is working perfectly normal right now.

[Q] Switching from CWM to TWRP: How to?

I am really confused since having to use ADB and flashboot. I am thoroughly confused that someone has not simply written step by step instructions for this in a sticky so newbies like myself can follow. With that in mind I am trying to change from CWM to TWRP. I have the files but completely oblivious on how to get things to work again. I go into a command propt and start adb or flashboot but cant seem to get it to find the device. Now I cannot find the instructions I used to install CWM. Can somoene kindly help with either a link or instructions to make this change so I can be good and flash some ROM's?
Thanks,

1) Power your phone off and once its off hold down power + volume down until its booted into HBOOT/Fastboot mode (bootloader).
2) Place your TWRP img file in the platform-tools folder where your adb/fastboot files are.
3) Shift + Right click inside of the platform-tools folder and open as a command prompt.
4) If you're not already, switch to fastboot mode and assure it says "Fastboot USB" or just fastboot at the top (don't remember if it says USB or not) and then in the command window type the following command and press enter: 'fastboot flash recovery name.img'. Replace "name" with the file name of your TWRP img.
5) It should say "successful" and then from there you can navigate to your new TWRP recovery via the bootloader by navigating with the volume keys and selecting the "Recovery" option by pressing the power button once its selected.

Really appreciate what you said but I am running into the issue in the command prompt. When I type the commands it says
error: device not found
I have rebooted both phone and computer but it never seems to find the device now and not sure what to do.
Do you have any suggestions on do I start adb and run any commands, SU, fastboot, or what? I know its working because the computer sees the devices by an external drive. The phone is able to go into fastboot on reboot as well. I just do not know where my dilemma is.

Do you have USB debugging enabled under developer options?

I'd assume this means you haven't installed the proper drivers? Well actually I'm not really sure these even relate to the fastboot drivers BUT worth a shot to fix your problem!
Download HTC Sync Manager from here and install it and let it install the proper drivers for your M8 (with phone powered on of course) and once they are installed and it's done make 100% sure you UNINSTALL HTC Sync Manager after, only the program, not the drivers themselves.
After that re-attempt it and also as the other guy said, enable USB debugging all though I don't think it will do anything unless the phones booted into Android(may be wrong).
Also see if you can get ADB to work while the phone is running. Instructions for testing ADB would be turn the phone on, enable USB debugging and in the command prompt type
Code:
adb devices
and if it pops up your device then you should be good. If it doesn't then it's most likely related to the drivers and I would recommend you uninstall all drivers and remove every trace of them. My prefered method of uninstalling them is using Device Manager (windows tool) to uninstall the drivers and then use USBDeview to remove the rest/traces/etc.

OK finally found the phone and flashed putting TWRP on it for recovery. Thank you very much. Using the ADB and FASTBOOT are things I guess I truly need to learn. So, with that I thank you and now I feel good about beginning my ROM flashing.

I basically went in and did the adb devices. Once it seemed to see it I had to do the adb reboot bootloader then do the flashboot flash recovery twrp img. Now I have it working and about to flash santod's NuSense ROM since I used it on my thunderbolt that was recently replaced by this. Wish me luck LOL.

Bricked Device Help

Hello, my OPO device was bricked after I accidentally wiped the internal memory and it has no rom installed either. However, I have access to the fastboot mode and also TWRP. I've tried to use adb push to put in a rom but it says device not found when I try. Also while connected to my computer, the device doesn't show up, but in device manager it will show up as just "One".
When typing adb devices, nothing shows up, when typing fastboot devices my phone's ID will show with fastboot to the right.

When typing adb devices, nothing shows up, when typing fastboot devices my phone's ID will show with fastboot to the right.

You can do a couple things:
1. Flash COS12.1 from here via instructions in the linked thread
2. Download TWRP and flash it via fastboot commands, reboot to recovery and transfer a nightly and gapps and flash
You are not bricked at all, last time I managed to brick my phone the screen was black no matter what I did, you can easily get back from fastboot

I can't transfer files into the phone as windows doesn't recognize the device anymore, and there is no device found when I try to use adb to push files into /sdcard/
I will try the first option and will let you know.
Edit: First option worked, phone is working fine now. Thanks for your help and I'll be more careful in the future.

Twrp also has USB-OTG function .. Even if you don't have any ROM on phone .. You can download a rom to a usb pendrive and connect it to phone twrp will recognize the USB pendrice and then can install rom from that ..

How to root zenfone 7 ZS670KS

hello guys
how do i root this phone please.
none of the google searched guides seem to work.
1. i've unlocked the bootloader using the asus app
2. i have adb installed on my pc
3. i've enabled usb debug mode on phone and allowing installation unknown apps
4. i've installed magisk v23 by downloading from github and just installing the apk file normally
5. i've downloaded a 2.9gb zip file from asus for androind 11 firmware onto phone and pc (but its a zip file that extracts a bin file, no image file)
my problem seems to be i don't know how to CREATE AND PATCH an image file or install twrp and install image file that way.
Could someone help, there doesn't seem to be any guides for rooting in this phones forum.

Look in the twrp thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-asus-zenfone-7-series.4161719/
after twrp you can flash the magisk.zip

i keep getting era waiting for device when i want to flash the phoben with twrp.
adb reboot bootloader (works and i enter the recovery menu start, bootloader, recovery, power off etc)
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img (when i type this cmd power shell just says waiting for device)
i have universal drivers installed and android sdk installed. not sure why it isn't recognising the phone?
When my phone is switched on normally, cmd recognises it, when i use adb devices. but as soon as i reboot into recovery mode using cmd "adb reboot bootloader" it stops recognising the phone on the list of devices using the cmd "adb devices"

so you don`t get an answer from your phone by "fastboot devices" ?
Have you tried another usb cable and or port?

no answer from phone when in fastboot mode.
but i do get a reply in cmd when phone is switched on normally.
I'll try with another cable, but if it responds to adb when in normal mode. doesn't it mean it's not a cable issue but a software driver issue?

seems when i do adb reboot bootloader it goes into what i thought was called fastboot. It even says fastboot.
but in that mode my phone isn't recognised by cmd when type adb devices, it doesn't come up.
it has 4 options reboot system now, botloader, enter recovery, reboot to bootloader, power off.
if i then select enter recovery. it enters a smaller text screen with lots of small blue writing. when inside that screen (recovery mode) cmd seems to recognise my device.
but it says it is unauthorized. this is in recovery mode.
i'm not sure why it says it is unauthorized. i've authorised my pc to control the phone through the fingerprint, when the message popped up.
but i can't push the twrp.img file through because of this.
since cmd doesn't seem to recognise phone in fastboot mode.
and cmd doesn't seem to have authorisation in recovery mode.
any ideas?

is it possible to root using adb sideload or install twrp using adb sideload?

Thats the right mode.
Does the phone at normal start show that the bootloader is unlocked?
Your debugging mode is turned on in developer settings?
A sideload isn`t possible I think.

yes, shows bootloader is unlocked when i start the phone.
usb debugging mode is turned on.
i think for some reason in fastboot mode the device driver is not recognised in windows. have googled seems it was a very old problem that happned on phones 6 years ago. nut i haven't found anything recent to solve same error.

So you can just try it on another pc.
Have you changed from USB 3 port to a USB 2?
My Xiaomi mix2s had sometimes this too. That's worked for me.

i think its definitely a driver issue. windows 10 seems to be overriding the drivers and installing wrong ones. and won't let me install right ones.
haven't tried in a different pc. will need to get hold of one and try.

I'm not sure.
i only managed to root it by following the instructions here years ago.
maybe try updating the asus apps in play store? or ask some of the other people here who know more than me. or disable the asus apps. i don't use them.
sorry i couldn't help more
