Hi guys, how have you been?
Look, recently I've installed one ROM from this forum, and because some problems and reset loops I decide to change the ROM.
So I've download a new one, and forgot to do a backup.
Enter in TRWP, did a wipe cache / dalvik / system and DATA cause I won't any old structure from another ROM.
Perfect until this moment, no problem. So after I did, normally any person go to install option select the file .zip and try to install.
Here started the problem!
I've tryed to install the wrong .zip ... the zip the TRWP found was one erro zip... the correct one was in my microSD so in this moment I realized the TRWP don't recognized my microSD, every time I try to reach this folder through /SDCARD1/ or select the disc (micro SD) the TRWP show me (microSD 0MB) and I cant select.
I tryed too mount the microSD and the TRWP don't allow me to mount the microSD.
I can only view the internal storage.
So Now I don't have any system, I just have the .zip file in my pc or microSD ... the ADB on my (fck Win10) doesn't work, only thing that works good its fastboot.
I've downloaded the .FTF correct version, to flash using flashtool ... here another problem... When I enter in ADB MODE on Z5 (green light) the phone stay like 1 minute at maximum after this the phone reboot trying to enter in system modem automatically.
So anybody can help me to save my z5? flash the FTF version through FASTBOOT. Or if can't ... teach me how I can make works the ADB SIDELOAD from TRWP, cause my ADB on PC don't work well.. every time I put "adb devices" don't appear my cellphone and now after a lot of drivers and attempts appear something about server, that can't start more than one.... something like that.
Sorry about my stupid english, it's not my first language, but I hope so somebody understand me and help me.
Really appreciate guys!
Cya
OBS.: my TRWP version it's 3.0.2-0
You can flash ftf file in flash mode, not in fastboot I think. Try to put your phone in flash mode by pressing volume down while connecting to PC and then flash your ftf from fllashtool.

Hope it helps you.
thats not for here. Q&A, HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING
Hi, I had problem hope it's same as yours i was flashing new rom but the phone always went on from flashing mode and the trick is which is barely mentioned somewhere to start flashing wait till flashtool makes files ready and then it asks for your phone to connect so then you put your phone into flashing mode and connect it to pc.

You're able to get into Clockwork by booting to recovery from fastboot if I understand your post correctly. (If you're not, you should be able to get there by flashing clockwork from fastboot.)
Once you have clockwork up and running, you might be able to plug the phone into your computer's USB port and access it via adb. If you have adb access you're cool. I think you can mount the sdcard from the clockwork mount options, then push the rom files you want to flash to the sdcard, then you can flash them from within clockwork.
If you need full images (I'm not sure all ROMs are full images, there's some fresh clean images in the Development section people are using for restores).
I have a very serious problem with my nexus S . I've installed an app on my nexus and after that... nothing works and when i say nothing i mean nothing!! when i try to open an app says ''unfortunately this app stopped '' always... i cant use my phone even to call or to send a sms. I tried to flash new rom but i cant save anything to my usb storage memory when i try to save something on the phone after the unplug from the usb disappear like never was there. Also its impossible to delete something from the phone if i delete something after one reboot itss back there (photos , music etc.). I tried to do factory reset but when makes reboot and try to open after a min. diplays a delta(warning) sing with an android and stays there and i need to pull out the battery. Also i locked and i tried again to unlock but on the cmd says fail to unlock... i really dont know what to do if anyone has any idea will help me sooooo much.
Thnax anyway
Have you tried to mount SD through recovery. In recovery, go to mounts and storage> mount SD. Transfer freshly downloaded rom from computer then unmount SD. While still in recovery perform a complete wipe.
Mounts and storage> wipe system> wipe data> wipe cache> wipe boot. Now try and flash rom and wipe dalvik cache. Hope this works for you.

nothing i tried many times through recovery but still nothing! when unplug the usb from my computer the rom dissapear ://
This happened to me once... I tried playing a movie and it froze and rebooted and everything force closed on my... even the launcher
I flashed a different rom to fix it.. and its also a good idea to change the kernel as well

Oh right forgot about this. Unless you have a backup working rom, you can flash that first. If not try this first. go to CWM Recovery and fix permissions. Try that
If it is still not working, this is the solution if you dont need your data on your phone. First take out your mini sd card. Get a mini sd card reader from any tech shop (eg dicksmith, costco even has it, electronics store) use that to copy everything onto your SD Card. First make a copy of your current rom. (yes the one with nothing working. So if this stuffs up you can try another way)
Once you copied everything to your comp on your sd card. Plug your sd card back in. No go to recovery, and wipe ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Including sd card. Now just flash the rom and kernel (optional) and it should all work.
When i mean everything (via CWM Recovery). Wipe: cache partition, dalvik cache, battery stats, format: /sdcard /system /cache /data /boot. Also wipe SD card and SD ext.

the problem is i cant save anything and that mean i cannt flash any rom or kernel because when i plug it with my computer and try to save (through mounts and storage) new rom or kernel to phone when i make unmount or to press go back the rom disappears

Can you see your device in fastboot devices? If yes download the Android 4.0.4 factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Unzip it in the tools folder of the Android SDK. Enter your device in booloader mode with volume up+power and insert the following order in the cmd window:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i902XXXX.img (check the proper name according to your phone)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i902XXXX.img (check the proper name according to your phone)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-soju-imm76d.zip (check the proper name according to your phone)
Just make sure you download the correct version! This is important or you can end up with a bricked phone.

Mate i followed all your instructions but! the problem now is the phone is locked because i locked it and now when i try to unlock it ALWAYS (when i press yes to unlock ) says on cmd FAILED to erase.... so i cant do anything because when i type ''fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i902XXXX.img'' says ''failed because is lock type fastboot oem unlock''
I'm afraid you're pretty much out of luck mate... every thread i searched with FAILED (remote: Erase Fail) nobody could solve it... and without unlocked bootloader we can't do much i'm afraid...
I've got my tf300t stuck in a boot loop when i turned it on today. (Ive looked around the forums for this issue already and been able to find little or no solutions that work for me)
I'm using cm10 and twrp. last night i shut the tablet off as usual and go to turn it on today and i cant get past the white asus logo and device unlocked screen.
I can access my twrp recovery menu, wiping dalvik returns a "E:Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)" cache wipes fine no errors.
I'm unable to flash another rom or restore from a back up as well.
Fastboot says its working but in cmd prompt it wont list the device. (computer recognizes it and it shows in device manager as android adb interface)
If there is any other information needed I will be more than happy to provide it.
any tips or help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advanced.
I'm not yet very fammiliar yet with TF300, but from SGS 1 and ICS I remember one trick. If you have external microSD pluged, take it out or of you don't have it plug it in and then enter TWRP.
It probably won't work but you can try anyway.
Does TWRP have any file browser? I'm using CWM so I don't know much about TWRP.

Yeah it does have the file browser, upon initial booting i can browse an sd card ( i have a few of various sizes none seem to to be having any affect) and i can browse the internal storage as well. Booting both with and without the sd card in the device still leaves me in the boot loop.
So, can you copy new rom to sd card, then copy from sd to internal and install new rom? I think only option you have is to reinstall rom.

I can and have tried but it wont let me flash with the "unable to mount /data" error. It tells that my external sd-card and whatever rom i attempt to flash has problems

Be sure your sdk is up to date.
1. If you hold volume down plus power button to get to fastboot.
2. shift + control right click fastboot folder on computer then open command prompt.
3. type devices... and if it is not showing a device there something is not right.
4. you can try adb push to apply a flash if your device is not wanting to flash from sd card.

I've tried this as well. It was my first thought. Also it states in my original post that fastboot doesnt list my device, adb doesnt list it as well. Both are recent and up to date. However device manager does recognize it and windows makes the little notification sound. In safely remove devices it shows up as fastboot when i enable fastboot on the device.
So, I have/had a N5 on stock 4.4.4 rom, rooted & Xposed installed with TWRP & a lollipop preview on MultiRom.
Was installing the new Lollipop .zip. In an act of hurried stupidity, I wiped my phone, including the internal storage.
Which for some reason also wiped my NANDROID backup. I thought that is not supposed to be wiped even when doing an internal storage wipe, BUT it did.
Now, all i have is TWRP on my phone with no rom installed.
I tried connecting my phone to the pc to see if i can just transfer the rom file onto the internal memory, but nothing shows up when i connect my phone to PC.
after some searching, I came to know via this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/how-to-wipe-internal-storage-install-t2575150 that i can use the ADB sideload to install the rom, using TWRP.
The problem is, when i connect my phone to the PC, the phone doesn't show up in the device manager.
So i cannot install the drivers & android SDK itself.
So, How do i Install a rom onto it?
I have a PC & a MAC, so i can use either of the machines. But i don't have much technical knowledge about stuff, I did all the above modifications with the help of tutorials & guids. so ELI5 please.
Please help!
Thank you.

Storage = including sdcard. You didn't need to do that.
If you have the latest TWRP, it has an MTP mode in the mount menu so you can simply copy a ROM.zip to the storage. Try enabling it and see if it shows up in devmgr.

Thank you for the reply.
Turns out, the TWRP i have does have the OTG option under the mount option.
I downloaded the zip from an Android Police article. I bought the phone in india & hence had the KTU84Q build of 4.4.4, So i downloaded the file mentiond in that & tried flashing it via OTG. But it is failing to flash the rom.
it shows errors like: failed to mount, Error executing updater binary & then error flashing zip.
So do i need to do anything else before flashing it?
I'm downloading a 4.4.4 rom. will see if that works. Until then, please help if I need to do something else.
Thank you.
EDIT: I flashed CM11 & it worked perfectly. then tried flashing the 5.0 zip again, but that failed. So i guess something's wrong with the zip file.
Hi.
I needed to wipe phone and may have been too successful.
I have access to a twrp menu. I would appreciate any help I could obtain to flash this phone with an Android operating system. I have that image downloaded but I'm having trouble flashing it to the phone. Any help would be great.
(No OS on device.)
Did you wiped data partition also? Does PC recognizes phone?
You can use this method 1 if You dont care about your personal stuff from /data partition, ( you lost twrp also ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
or use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...e-update-rooted-device-to-5-1-lmy47d-t3050789
Data partition is wiped. Phone not recognized by computer. Thx for the links. I got stuck during the process.
Ofcourse

I think he already have wiped his phone so there is no need to do it again.
So jst go to "Install" and pick your downloaded ".zip" file.
If you dont have the ".zip" on your device you can try to mount your USB storage.
Thx so much for the tips. I had located the great link provided. Is there anyway that I can move an unzipped hammerhead image to the phone and then unzip on the phone? The stumbling block for me may be that phone has no micro SD slot (to unzip from) and phone is not recognized by computer (running win 7).
For example, with the phone connected with USB to the computer, is there any way to do drag and drop zipped hammerhead file to phone and unzip w twrp.
Thank you for patience with a person new to forum.
I assumed that I could not access a zipped file on computer and use twrp to unzip and proceed. I tried the unzip twrp toggle and could not pull from computer (or at least it was not apparent to me how to do it.)

OK, if I´m correct, the device is not recognize by the computer, but TWRP is already installed. So what you want is to transfer a zip file with the image to the device. Have you tried OTG? TWRP can mount the USB, so you can download the zip file to a mciro sd and us OTG to flash it with TWRP.
Have you tried different USB cables, different USB ports, and different drivers in order to get the phone recognized on your computer?
