Hey guys, so I've rooted my phone a couple of times and everything's worked fine. I have a rooted Nexus 5, and I screwed around with it too much, anyway all I wanted to do was to reset it to factory condition and unroot it.
I screwed up, and I erased the OS, and TWRP says "No OS installed, do you want to reboot?". I've done this before and, I've used the ADB sideload method to reset it, so naturally I decided to do it again and followed the steps from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200. Unfortunately this time when I got to step 12, it didn't list my device, and when I continued to step 13 it said, "error: device '(null)' not found". I've redownloaded the usb driver for the nexus but nothing seems to be working.
Please help me guys,
Thanks
Hi,
You could try this thread from your device section on diagnosing connection troubles,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nosing-usb-driver-adb-issues-windows-t2514396
And you can ask for help there too. But if that doesn't help you, you will need to seek help in the Nexus 5 dedicated help thread,

Hi,
Knock on is not working on my LG g2 from past 2 days. I tried factory reset knock on/off toggle, device test, calibrate sensors. Finally I decided to return the phone but I need to unroot it for that.
As I cannot follow the usual process because my phone is not recognized in download mode via USB (both pc/linux) I tried installing a stock rom(80020k) and then uninstall the root. also I replaced the rtc files and the I tried to update the phone to D80020u but it fails with error saying device is suspected of rooting.
I became over smart and flashed a stock recovery which won't function.
No root, No recovery now. Tried rooting with ioroot25 doesn't work because it requires a functional stock recovery.
Any help/suggestions that can get me back to stock?
Thanks.

Unlocked/rooted nexus 6 stock no roms/kernals. Earlier today I went to flash the security update so I used nexus toolkit, and I noticed they had the preview for M so I just updated to that. It updated fine and I went to root the phone, only I guess you cant just use the toolkit to root any more because it wouldn't load, it said it was corrupted, so I just re-flashed back to the original update I was on 5.1.1 LMY48l. It installed but and ran through the optimizing apps, once it finished it rebooted and did it again. It kept rebooting and optimizing for a few hours. I read it could be a problem with the cache so I wiped it in recovery mode. Everywhere I read said to factory reset, the only problem is I forgot to backup and now I cant access the files through usb. Is there any was I can recover the files before I factory reset or am I just SOL? Thanks in advanced

Hi everyone,
I own a Motorola Moto G2 (XT1068, dual sim) that came used with Android 6.0 on it.
I installed TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-3-titan.img) on it but failed to root Android 6.0 as well as 5.0 for whatever not yet understood reason. I don't do Android development for a living but I'm an IT professional, so handling adb and fastboot as well as reading and understanding instructions isn't a problem.
I flashed stock Android 4.4.4 (RETDEALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14) which I successfully rooted by installing SuperSU via TWRP.
Next I updated SuperSU, verified that root access is indeed working and installed FlashFire, which I hoped to use to install OS upgrades, possibly without losing root. FlashFire is new to me (as of yesterday), everything else mentioned up to here is not.
I used the "Flash ZIP or OTA" action from within FlashFire and the previously downloaded update file in the /cache directory. I can't reproduce the file name since the phone is currently unusable and I didn't write the file name down prior to using FlashFire.
The state of the phone after this unsuccessful attempt was that of a broken USB device, i.e. unable to even register as whatever type of USB device. I learned that this can be fixed by holding the power button down for more than one minute, after which I managed to
get the phone to be shown as working "RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008" USB serial device in Windows 7 device manager.
I used the information in these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-unbrick-moto-g-falcon-t3394788
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/how-to-revive-hard-bricked-moto-g-t2833798
Since I started with Android 4.4.4 trying to upgrade to 5.0, I had hoped that the blank flash package for one of these Android versions would help fix my problem, but as of now, this doesn't seem to be the case. At the end of the blank flashing process, I get the message
FAILED <blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello: error sending packet>
After that, the phone still has a black screen and cannot boot into anything. Repeating blank flash works after resetting whatever part of it is still working by holding the power button down for about 30+ seconds.
Is there anything obvious (or maybe even not so obvious) that I missed?
Thanks for reading and any help and/or pointers in the right direction.

Im new to XDA and I do not know where to ask this so I asked it in Assist.
I have a oneplus 3 and no twrp recovery will work.
Currently I am running Freedom OS 1.7CE on my 1+. The only issue is that no recovery will work. Ive tried multiple versions of TWRP for the phone and none of them work. Flashing the recovery while in fastboot says it was successful with a time of about 0.5 seconds which seems too fast saying that when somehow it worked, it took about 0.8 seconds.
Ive soft bricked my phone a few times trying to get everything to work and everytime I had to use a full unbrick tool to reset all of the partitions on the phone.
Anyone else having troubles with TWRP on the OP3
Anyone have a solution for me because currently when I need to install something from recovery, I have to go into fastboot and boot from a twrp image which no longer works for me.
Sorry for bad wording as I am in class right now switching from work to this post.

I got a huge problem. After my phone updated to Marshmallow I lost root permissions. I looked up some tutorials to root it again. But every step I took just made things worse:
1. I booted my phone to TWRP v2.8.7.0 using adb/fastboot (bootloader still unlocked after last root)
2. I installed Super-SU, which was meant to root my device according to those instructions
3. I rebooted my phone (maaany times) realizing I can't really get back to my firmware.
4. Eventually I wiped phone's memory hoping it might help, however Huawei's emergency recovery failed to reinstall system.
5. Now I'm powering a plant, which can only boot into TWRP
Guys, I've never started a thread before, but right now I got no idea what's going on or what to do. I'll apreciate any clues. Thank You in advance.
