Hi, I acquired a tablet off my mate a couple of week ago, which he was throwing away because it wouldn't get off the android screen..So I set my self a challenge to get the thing going again Having not got any experience in this sort of field & finding out the tablet is Chinese I knew it could be a big task with little resources, though keen to educate myself! Anyway I set out on this educational journey a couple of week ago & researched into the task ahead. Now I've hit a brick wall & need pointing in the right direction if anybody can help!
Here's what's happened.
I could open the stock recovery
connected to laptop & after installing drivers, ADB etc I could connect through ADB
Tried to boot into fastboot & it just does a normal boot!
Managed to find a rom which I thought would work & flashed it via a CWM sideload recovery!
Great piece of kit it worked a treat alongside the stock recovery!
now it worked though the touchscreen didn't, so I restored a backup from the CWM recovery maker & viola back to where I started
Then I found a TWRP version that I thought would work - so I flashed that!
Now it boots in TWRP though the touchscreen doesn't work & that's not good with TWRP
It can still connect in recovery to ADB
I can push & pull files & ADB shell
I've come to the conclusion that the only way I could get back to where I started, at least is by somehow making a fresh rom from the CWM backup I have or flash the firmware which booted up. (bearing in mind I omitted the recovery image from the build when I flashed)
Now the only way around this (from what info I've gathered) is to use a shell script which will make TWRP automatically read my update.zip what I've pushed over to the sdcard then flash on reboot..
I've found this
(google) shell-script-to-reboot-into-recovery-and-install
I've copied the script into an editor (on my phone - I've got a windows computer) saved as .sh, pushed into sdcard on tablet & tried to execute.
adb shell says
# /sdcard/myscript.sh: line 3: reboot: not found
Could anyone help me on my quest?
I've got nowt to lose & I'm quite enjoying the experience
Thanks in advance!!

Okay so I love my HTC One but..... A while ago out of the blue, It started acting funny. The operating system (Android Revolution at the time) started to stop working. I'd never had any troubles with Android Revolution until then. So I decided to re flash the OS, which was a really bad idea. I made a TWRP backup before I started anything, like I usually do. I was planning on doing a full system wipe for a clean install so I needed to move the backup off the device. That's when I found out that the USB wasn't working so I ended up moving the backup via wifi. So I gave the phone a full wipe and started installing my OS again (A newer version of Android Revolution). It definitely wasn't corrupt, I checked the Md5 sum. From there it refused to install so I gave up gave it all another wipe and I tried to put the old backup back on but I couldn't. That's where I'm at now and have been the last month or two.
Current State:
Able to access bootloader and recovery only
Nothing on the device's storage
Only Charging while off
Not recognized by my computer (ADB and Fastboot)
Not able to mount USB OTG in TWRP
Not able to mount system in TWRP
What I have Tried:
Different USBs
Just about every different driver I can find
Different ADB and Fastboot versions
Different computers
Device Information:
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
Recovery - TWRP v2.6.3.3
I've been looking all over the internet for a solution but I can't find anything to help me fix this.

The story starts when I installed KingRoot and successfully rooted my device. Then I went on experimenting and childishly played around and uninstalled some system apps. But when I saw that my device's many functionalities stopped working, I thought of replacing the official android with a custom rom. I installed the CWM recovery successfully using Flashify, placed the zip file in the internal drive, formatted and cleaned up everything as directed by the web, and flashed the custom rom. But then the rom doesn't boot! Stuck at the boot logo. There is no backup for me to restore and I've tried several custom roms with no effect, it just doesn't go beyond the boot logo.
I am on Linux Mint machine, researched a lot but couldn't find a way to restore my system using fastboot, sptools (with wine), flashtool,, whatever, it's been all a headache. I even tried the SPTool on my friend's Windows 8 pc, but couldn't setup the driver thing I guess, and it couldn't work. I'm fed up with it all. Can some calm and expert person give me a very novice step by step guide on restoring my phone's working condition. A guide for my Linux Mint machine would be most preferable, however if it's for a Windows PC, it would do as well. Thank you.

Hello everyone, first post for me here.
Some friends told me to come with my problem here saying it would be the best place to get help (that will be precious to me)...
I'm really noob on android devices, so please be patient with me.. lol. I apologize already if u dont get what i exactly try to explain with my words..
Here i come : I got a new Huawei G8 (very unpopular one, for my luck again..). I got it rooted a while ago, when i bought it (had to find the ONLY tutorial that was in portuguese and took hours to do it but i did it !)
I have on it installed TWRP.
Yesterday in the night, my phone asked me to update. So did i. What i didnt know is that it was not gonna boot on android again. So to be clear : everytime i try to set my device on, it goes straight on TWRP recovery tool or if i do specific move (power + volume up i think) that just send me to the "Fastboot & rescue mode", telling me to connect my device to my PC and open HiSuite (what will just not do anything cause HiSuite wont detect it). >> HiSuite wont detect it but i can open it and get files in or out of internal or external storage.
I already tried to flash a firmware i downloaded on Huawei's website but then it just says "zip file corrupt". I also noticed that in the zip file i downloaded was a tar.gz file.
I also downloaded from a link i found in a tutorial a .rar file with in it the dload and CUSTOM folders with .APP files. Then copied it on my SDcard and tried to turn my device on to make it auto update with these files (power + both volume buttons). The thing is i cant even make it boot like that cause when i try pushing both volume buttons + power button it instantly turn on and booting on TWRP ...
I'm so sorry I cant explain properly what i did but i hope you will understand what the problem is and maybe lead me to find the right procedure to get my phone back... I'm sure I missed a lot of important informations but just ask me and i'll answer with pleasure, ill just check this post every hour..
So if someone knows any way to get my phone working back, even if it means i will lose all my datas and start over, thats really not a big deal.
Thanks a lot if you people read this and try to help me..

Hi thanks for reading not sure if this is the correct place to post. I'm rather lost on my options and fear that I've essentially totaled my phone.
USB isn't recognized(yes I've updated drivers and confirmed my cord allows data transfer and tried with usb debugging on and off), this is a hand-me-down phone I received rooted, attempted to apply Cyanomod (successful but got the No SIM issue even though I could call and receive texts no data though) proceeded to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
However after installing the latest modem my phone went into soft brick - boot looping.
I then decided to wipe Cache - D.Cache - system - Data. After doing this over and over I accidentally wiped internal data as well (fixed this issue by buying a micro SD card today) So now I got all my .zips and roms back where I can still flash.
Still in a boot loop and have read that maybe my recovery (TWRP) could be the cause of this, seeing how I've basically wiped everything multiple times to try and get to the bottom of this.
Is there anyway I can use the Command Terminal IN TWRP to flash a newer version of TWRP ( because I had not used the latest TWRP )
If so can you please give me the command line in which I could use the .img of twrp-3.0.2-0-d2att.img and when going into the Command Terminal at what level should I select?
I really can NOT afford another phone atm and I'm very gracious for any help. I've watched and read many useless videos/articles over the last few days and can't seem to find a video that would involve not using a PC to use Odin.
P.S. - I'm also prepared to go back to stock everything if that's what's called for atm but first this boot loop is the issue. Thanks in advance.

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.
