I have an Alcatel One Touch idol 3_50560 AT&T
I do not have access to a desktop computer is there any roms out there that will do everything for you at once i.e. Removing bootloader, Root phone, then installing TWRP . Is it even possible? I uploaded and put the whole system on my tab4, it had no OS when i got it. Just wondering if spmethings out there
It's not possible. You need to install twrp by PC, then you can do everything what you want via twrp.
Is it possible i can download the file to my tablet and sdcard and transfer to my PC when i get to work?
Yes, and you only need to install twrp via PC. Everything another you can just flash by twrp from sdcard (better option than internal storage)

Arc s. Bootloader unlocked and I have root.
Wanted to install "Andriod MooDeD ICS 80.3 IFT" and in the guide it said to transfer the file to the internal sd card.
How?
if you have not flashed a custom ROM yet then you should be able to turn the phone on and plug it in to your computer. then when your computer asks make sure you put it as a storage device, granted your running windows. then you just place the files you want to flash on the ROOT of the sd card. then boot to recovery, do your wipes, then a nandroid backup, then flash the new ROM
Hi there !
I lost my USB cable for my Asus Transformer TF101 for months now, I only have a backup charging cable which does not allow me to connect it to my Laptop,
I'm wondering if there is any chance to install kitkat 4.4.2 without my computer ( like copying the file directly on my SD card) , and if there is a tutorial somewhere
Thanks in advance for your help =)
Cheers
If you already have TWRP recovery installed, just download it using your TF and copy it to your MicroSD Card / SDCard
Boot into recovery do all the required wipes and Flash it

Nop, and i'm pretty sure that i'll need the cable to root my device, don't I ?
I think some early builds of stock ICS and Honeycomb were able to be rooted from the tablet, transformerforums.com has some guides
Otherwise yep, grab a cable from ebay
You can root your tablet using Baidu Root. I can't post outside links so google "Baidu Root 2.3.7 English". The process is pretty straightforward. After rooting, download GooManager from play store and choose "install OpenRecovery script". This will install TWRP 2.3.2.3. You can then download the newest TWRP from sidneyk's thread, but there seems to be an issue with the 2.7.0.3 version, so go for 2.7.0.1. Did all of this a couple of days ago, never had to connect to a computer.
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.
Hello!
I just got an Asus ZenPad 8.0 about 6 hours ago, and now I broke it. I rooted it successfully using this guide, but then I updated the firmware, and now it's bricked. I can probably return it with all of the holiday returns policies, but I'd rather keep it. Anyways, here's the problem, and what I've tried.
I found the script in the link above that lets me access CWM recovery. My plan was to format everything, then copy the zip using adb, and install it through CWM recovery. The script temporarily flashes CWM. I can't find another version of CWM for my device, so this is all I've got to work with (I think). This backfired on me because I also deleted my RSA keys. I never thought I needed them in my recovery, and I've done this pleanty of times on my Nexus 6, without the need for keys when working with my TWRP recovery. TL;DR: I can't copy the factory image zip to my tablet.
Here's what I've tried
-------------------------------------------
Using ADB to copy the file (Doesn't work, need RSA Authorizations)
Find a new recovery, then flash it via fastboot, and then use ADB via that recovery (Couldn't find another recovery. Checked CWM and TWRP pages, but couldn't find my device)
Put the zip on my SD card & extract the zip from the card (Error mounting the card. I used another device to format the sd card. No luck. Tried this article and this article)
Booting into safe mode (Still bricked... still didn't work)
Cursing at it
If I can get past the "Permission Denied" and "unauthorized" stuff with ADB, that would be great! I just don't know how to do that.
Let me know if I'm missing anything and what my options are before I return it in a few days. Cheers!
I figured it out. CWM needed a SD card with a capacity of 32gb or less. Since I was using a 64gb card, I couldn't mount it. I stuck in my 8gb card from my Raspberry Pi, put it in, and now it's mounted. I installed it, and now I just have to wait on that.
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?
