Hi guys,
I wiped everything by mistake in TWRP 2.8.4.0 and now I'm puzzled... I did a FULL (yeah....) wipe before flashing a custom ROM, but then, everything was gone, of course.
I still have access to TWRP ; the bootloader is unlocked ; was on JB 4.2 .
So I tried to put a Rom back into the memory of the Tab, but :
1/ TWRP won't mount my SD card with a ROM on it... Does anyone have an idea why?
2/ adb doesn't recognize the device... but "fastboot devices" does! So I have access to all the fastboot commands.. Sadly, it doesn't flash any .zip.
So I'm guessing I have to solve the SD card problem OR flash a system.img with flashboot...?
I don't know what to do. I read that an older version of TWRP might mount my SDcard, but I'm quite scared to try and flash another recovery, since I'm not sure it will not definitely brick the thing.
Thanks for any answer

Use MTP to get said file onto the tablet ??
Or install the drivers to enable adb ??

Thanks for the reply
But the drivers are already installed, that's why I don't get why adb doesn't work.
as for the MTP, I can't get to it, since there is no ROM installed on the tab anymore : when I switch it on, it stays stuck on the ASUS logo, but is not detected by the computer.
Do you know where I could get an image of a stock firmware to flash with fastboot? or another way to push a file?

Nope you should be able to plug it into a PC and move files to it drag and drop the zip ....
But you should still have adb working, it is a must have when messing with android ...
If you would like to look into this more drop me a hangouts at [email protected]
Thx Josh
Hi dandystrion,
Sorry i cant give an answer, but MTP should be activated per default at twrp and you should have your device as a drive on PC.
I'm intessted on how did you flash twrp on an unlocked bootloader? I fighting with my tf700 since October to unlock my bootloader to install CyanogenMod. I did a lots of tickets and RMA, which didn't helps.
Can you give me a link or a short explanation how I can flash twrp?
Thanks

I unlocked the bootloader with the Transformer Toolkit v3.2.0 (I can't post a link since I'm a new member, but google it up, you'll find easily) and flashed TWRP 2.8.4 with fastboot without any problem. Hope it will work out for you.

Thanks man.
Well the PC does not see the tablet. I'm quite sure of my drivers since adb worked fine until I messed up (the drivers were installed through the latest version of Asus Pad Pc Suite)... I tried a adb sideload too : no connection.
I'll be glad to get some help.
Tried a thrid, empty brand new sdcard, and it did the trick.
Still don't know why adb wouldn't work, but now it's fine, so... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the help
I have checked it. But it is based on the Asus Unlock Tool, which doesn't work for me in the past!
Thanks

CWM cant mount SD you need TWRP for that and a RUU put you back to stock but the bootloader needs relocking. So did you even try booting the rom because the red writing is fine.
you didn't mention it, but you should wipe system and caches as well as data
Not hard brick. you can chose the correct Ruu file and flash it to your phone.... solved your case.

CWM can not mount our sdcard onto your computer over USB.
But it absolutely can mount the sdcard partition onto the root filesystem.
Unless you have the 'unmountable sdcard' problem, for which there is a sticky in Q&A.
My feeling is that the OP didnt mount the sdcard partition. In that case it is normal to see the mount point as an empty folder.
Once it's mounted, you can adb push rom zips to it.

Download the right RUU for your carrier and location by looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588 and you can get free download at http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
Then plug in your phone and follow the instructions when you run the RUU .exe file.
AKToronto
but everytime i try to run it, it says it fails because the phone it is not connected to the computer but it is...
did you ever try to boot into the rom after you flashed it and boot image as in just tapping on reboot system
can you plug phone into pc and get indicator at top of screen that says you are connected. then pull down notification bar and select to mount drive
if so, does it show you your sdcard in the windows screen
you do have an S4 device and assume you are hboot .13 or higher
if you can get into os and see sdcard, you can get twrp and flash image gui and flash rom and boot image with it
i am sure you tried these things, just hard to know when reading posts
also, i don't know if you are running your commands correctly based on how i undestand your posts. you can't run adb commands from fastboot, which is what you were in to fastboot boot image. you would want to type fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you are very familiar with adb/fastboot--sorry. if not need to get up to speed on them
if i misread or misunderstood any of this, sorry for butting in--

Hi Guys,
After some cleanup in CMW i accidently format EVERYTHING. (formatted all single option in CMW, afterall a bad idea) So now i'm stuck at the google logo.
Now i have the 4.4.4 KTU.zip on my computer. Can i flash this via ADB sideload (as a renamed ''update.zip''? Or can i just copy the .zip file to my Nexus from a computer?
I'm @ work so i;m stuck guessing what i must do to get this thing work!
Thanks in advance guys
i dont know what it is, but if its a rom, sideload then flash away. your phine is empty right now, no rom or anything. you need to put something into your phone(sideload) then flash it.
Yes, the whole zip file is the stock ROM in a zip file.
Luckely i can't login as administrator here or else i could get my device working here
Thanks!
Why not just start the bootloader (fastboot mode) and execute the flash-all.bat? It'a the 'official' way to completely restore your phone. I've done it several times and it always worked great

change your recovery to 4ext
http://d-h.st/rG7
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then from 4ext format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash from 4ext(if you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
done
note: enable smartflash exactly before flashing the rom
i'll give it a try at home. Thank you!
I'll let you know.
Thank you so much! It worked really good
So happy

boot your device to the bootloader,select fastboot and connect it to the pc
extract the recovery.img from the link above and place it in the folder where you have adb/fastboot files in your pc
open a command window from that folder and type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
then you will have 4ext recovery installed

Hi guys I tried to flash ''cm-13.0-20151108-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid'' via ''TWRP-2.8.7.0-pyramid-r9-cm13'' but that failed, ever since I am stuck at the HTC logo, I tried to flash numerous older firmwares but try to factory reset/wipe I get an ''unable to format storage'' so any Rom I try fails. It was previously running older version of CM fully rooted which I have fully backed up via CWM but now cant restore is due to TWRP & CWM being incompatible.
I have tried so many ADB commands but ADB only responds when in TWRP any time else like in Fastboot I get absolutely no response at all, I have also tried to flash CWM back any way possible but have failed same with ''4EXT-Recovery-Touch-v1.0.0.5-RC5-PG58IMG''. Also tried RUU but kept on receiving 'Connection Error' even though the USB cable was connected & works fine, also tried using ''Sensation_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1'' no luck either with any of its commands.
I have attached the Bootloader screen if it can help with this boot loop.
I have never has such issues with Samsung Phones so I am a total noob with HTC phones so any help would be really great.
Any help would be really great from this amazing community!
TWRP has broken my partition table. I cannot format via parted due to the fact it now has 'overlapping partitions'. No recovery can fix this including 4ext. Completely stuck at the minute. I don't want to use a microsd card as storage when I have internal storage available. Is there anyone that can help or has had any success? I am S-OFF and bootloader UNLOCKED.
Tried stock RUU via P58..zip and get's stuck part way through (I think at system or SD)
Help! I'm sure there's someone that can fix the partition table. The format of the internal storage sd is fat32 - which I believe is where the problem started from. I don't want to let this problem defeat me although I have spent an age trying to sort it...too late to give up
Any help is highly appreciated.
Cheers

What I've done has been, through a PC with Windows Vista (I have been unable to get anything with Windows 8 onwards ), I installed the HTC One X All In One tool, and in the part where the recoverys are located, there are three (CWM, TWRP and other), I went to the Data / Recoveries folder and I deleted the TWRP, replacing this with an image of 4EXT Recovey Touch, and putting the same name that has the recovery erased. Then I went to the tool, I installed TWRP (which was 4EXT which replaced it) and my Sensation revived. Good luck!
For me it is not loading to 4ext, after flashing it..... stuck at htc logo. if i install twrp or cwm it boots to it... any idea how to fix it?

Okay, so when trying to flash CM ROM, I stupidly ended up wiping EVERYTHING in the "wipe" option. Trying to recover it, I tried sideloading the file through ADB, but TWRP would disconnect off the PC and say failed (TWRP version 3.0.2-0). Pushing a ROM zip won't work, as the phone only connects to the PC as ADB Sideload mode ('error: closed' is what it would say), and nothing else would work except sideload. I no longer have a working OTG cable, as my last one broke on me a week ago. The PC will not connect to phone on the 'Mount USB' option from TWRP. Plz help! I'm running out of ideas. I did make a backup (using Online Nandroid Backup, no it wasn't a zip) on the SD card, but TWRP will not read the SD card on my device. Note that the only thing I have is TWRP; no bootloader, no Fastboot, no nothing. Just TWRP.

You can connect to ADB but the adb push command isn't working when you try to move the ROM.zip to the device?
Get a new OTG cable.
The nandroid backup you made should have been done in TWRP and stored on extsdcard instead of the online backup, online backup is crap because it only works in certain conditions, it's useless when the device can't connect to a network.

Yes. ADB commands other than sideload will say 'error:closed', and ADB Sideload will just end up making the phone disconnect. At this point, I may HAVE to end up getting a new OTG Cable.
Yes, I was trying to do the backup on TWRP, but as it couldn't read the SD Card, I used Online Nandroid Backup. Then I realized that everything I was doing was completely stupid while I wiped EVERYTHING....

Try rooting the device and then use the Stick Mount app, if your device has the hardware to support OTG, that should enable it, but if your device does not have the hardware to support OTG then it doesn't matter what you do softwarewise or what you modify, it has to have the hardware or it can't do it at all.
Things like this are why I'd never buy or own a ZTE device of any kind. Relatively soeakibg, they are all junk.

If you can use adb shell or fastboot, you can try getting a copy of system.img from someone with your exact device and dd or fastboot flash the img.

Any ADB commands other than Sideload will just respond as error:closed, as the computer only reads the system when in ADB Sideload mode. However, when trying to sideload a ROM, the phone will disconnect and say failed, while the computer stays on xfer: 0.00. Maybe I could get some instructions to fix that? Maybe a bad TWRP version? If so, I'm ****ed...
After reading other pols forums, it seems that I didn't have to delete the internal storage........

Sideloading a ROM won't work.
Try
adb reboot bootloader
If you can boot to bootloader or fastboot you can try finding the firmware for another device that has all of the exact same hardware components that your device has then try fastboot flashing it or extract the separate .imgs from the firmware and use the fastboot commands to flash the boot.img and system.img.

can't get into fastboot, ADB command says error: closed, while doing the command in terminal in the TWRP menu keeps me on ZTE screen (only reboot recovery works, not as ADB command but in terminal).

Did you ever get the TWRP for this? I have it in my dropbox pm me.
The issue were running into is that the TWRP on this model can't see the ext sd. The backup is 1.5 or 2gb which is usually too large to fit on the internal SD
Slacker is working hard at modding the Fstab file to make TWRP see that storage. Any ideas please let him or I know([email protected] or here )
I'm also working on an EquiMods custom ROM for this. Bare bones battery saver, switchable to performance when needed.
Anyone know if and how these can be overclocked?
I have a deodex rom done for this phone and also should have the working twrp recovery by morning. The cm11.0 ive been working on is almost done. I hope Everytime i flash it to phone i get white screen. Also im going to install xposed on it in the morning. I think i found the fix for that to work
Any news on this? I can't find anything that works with this phone. I have adb sideload working, but that's pretty useless from what I understand.

They obviously got something to work since there are members in this thread that have TWRP installed on their devices, that means they can at least root the device but I doubt there are any ROMs for this device.

I've rooted my N817 but never made an Nandroid backup. I still have TWRP up and working but I've tried to flash the 2 roms I know of....they both "install" but when I try to boot It stays in the ZTE screen...Help!
