i was trying to root my phone and install twrp in it. Then twrp came on screen then i wiped the data and copied one rom in internal storage and tried to flash it but it got into error. I tried again but result is same. so i tried to reboot phone into recovery so that twrp must reload again but it went to default oneplus recovery which it must not go(correct me if i am wrong). now as i know that no os is installed in my phone and i am in recovery so then i tried to soft unbrick my phone when i connect my phone to computer but device is not showing in device manager which it should(correct me if i am wrong). Now i don't knw what to do. Please help
Thanks in advance.

Have you enable mtp ?
Twrp recovery is best recovery use it
Download twrp.img from official site
Flash it through your present recovery.
After it format everything data, internal storage,dalvik, cache.
Reboot twrp
Install any custom ROM.
Enjoy

You got a option in recovery to enable mtp
If you select keep read only partition them you can only read you can't format or write anything.
When TWRP starts it shows this option Keep read only partition. Many of guys check this and swipe.so they have problems to flash and wipe anything.
Connect a mmc using card reader with PC.
Copy custom ROM
Select install
Select mmc
Select file
Wait for process done
Wipe dalvik,cache
Reboot phone.
Done

nvm I used my pc's device manager to work adb
I did something stupid like this yesterday. If you have a recent enough TWRP, you can use the Advanced-> sideload app option with adb to download a rom to where you can install it using twrp.

All you have to do is put the rom zip on your micro sd card, then TURN OFF your device. Now boot into twrp then select install by browse to the micro sdcard to select the rom zip file.

I had a very similar 'No OS' problem and I wasn't sure if I would be able to reboot into recovery but thank you for answering my question!
Good day everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am in desperate need of your help. I recently purchased a HTC One S from an online store they told me it was new never used locked phone. Turns out phone was rooted, 4g does not work, and it could not recognize e drive, (internal sd card)
After reading the all in one i re-rooted it and install the teamwin version of recovery.
Now i never had any back ups or any factory files. as i got the phone rooted with software that did not work. My phone now has no rom and i cannot install from adb sideloader, or an other means. I am new to this and cannot seem to figure out how to get my phone back to even stock un-rooted etc. I tried multiple forums and download links but nothing.
i was able to install vipers rom at one point but despite several attempts to reinstall. recovery does not see files loaded. which i can see on my mac or pc.
the other strange thing i notice is that at the top in fastboot mode i sometimes see unlocked in pink only and other times i see both unlocked and tampered. when its unlock only none of my computers recognize connection.
I also tried boot.img for flash. The furthest my screen no goes is the htc logo, then goes black.
Please help, even to just point me in rite direction to have this resolved.
the boot.img, did you flash it via fastboot? (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
And, one question that comes to mind... they sold you a device as new, yet it wasnt.. Why didnt you return it?

Yes I tried several times loading the boot.img via fastboot.
As far as returning the device i trashed the mailing box but kept original packaging so no return address. I called the company which i made the purchase from "N1wireless" several times and sent several emails to them. They have yet to reply or answer any of my calls. Which is why I am so frustrated.

Boot into recovery, select mount > mount usb storage. From pc move the Rom.zip to your sd card which should now be showing on your pc. After it is moved to your phone select unmount then press home button in twrp recovery. Then install the Rom. After install open up adb and type adb reboot bootloader then press enter. Now fastboot flash the boot img from inside the Rom.zip on your computer. After that reboot your phone and report back

Hi, thanks for the reply, thats just the thing I cannot in recovery install any rom loaded to sd card. It fails. I tried reinstalling the recovery and it still not reading my sd card.
So my guess is i need a new twrc or how to do it from my mac, as now when i try on my pc it is failing as-well. Once I get the recovery to work I will try your other suggestions as I think it will work based on the steps you mentioned.
I am trying to figure out how to use terminal to reinstall recovery. any suggestions or links will be greatly appreciated.:good:
you install recoveries through fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I reinstalled recovery several times now and it wont recognize the sd card. is there another recovery i can download and use? Also is there any instructions for a newby to use terminal to re-boot, everything from scratch. Meaning if the phone is completely blank except the fast boot and a recovery manager no backups or stock kernel etc. what is the format to be used in order for the computer and recovery to recognize the sd card?
I think I need a good recovery rom like cmod if there is one for the htc one s or the stock one if someone has it.
hi i had that problem

I had that problem the sd card would not be seen by my laptop and the phone would not boot at all if you plug in the phone to your go to start and then computer right click on your c drive go to manage and see if you can see it there if so try to format it and then reboot the phone if it works you can then install cwm as a recovery system then you can put what rom you wont on it i am use in zenRom 1.05 and to me its the best coz it like the htc rom that the phone come with if that don`t work let me know coz i have more tricks to try i hope this helps you out.
Theres only TWRP and CWM for the S afaik, and CWM sucks. TWRP is the one to use.
I had a similar problem a few days ago, luckily there's not such a bad solution.
1) Pick a custom ROM you want to install from the HTC One S developer forums (I went with Trickdroid) and download the ROM/boot image.
2) Then download and flash the stock recovery here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1UuxTh0k/stock_recovery.html
3) Boot into bootloader, clear storage and then reset to factory defaults.
4) Flash TWRP
5) Reboot into recovery, sdcard should now be mounted/visible
Then push the ROM to your sdcard with adb or mount USB storage and flash it/flash the boot image and you should be sorted.

got it. will try it asap.
I could not get the stock recovery via that link you provided. If there is another link to the stock I would appreciate it. I had to flash it wit cwm twice then reflash with twrc to get it to identify the sd card. i had tried the viper rom but my 4g and wifi doesnt work. Will try trickmod hopefully that works with no more issues

Hey thanks allot for your suggestions. I made some progress. It kinda worked. However I my wifi and data connections no good. I tried the 9.1 update and then tried the tweaks.
Do you know if it is possible to get stock kernel and stock rome to undo changes on device?
I installed this http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/mcr-modpack-for-the-nexus-5-6-and-9-r11-r1437 which turns out to be completely crap - the file for Android 5.1 is signed Nexus 6 and it has bricked my phone - it starts, but then black screen.
I am rooted, unlocked and have TWRP installed. TWRP works.
I used Wugfresh's utilities and I have a recovery on my laptop.
But I can't get to a recovery or install a rom because the USB connection no longer works.
I tried a factory reset , which maybe I should not have - no good.
I fear the phone is totally bricked...?
Talk me through what to do to install something that will get the phone working again.

Yes I have a back up via TWRP on my laptop.
Tried mtp mode and USB still doesn't connect laptop to phone. Tells me I need to use developer options, usb debugging, etc. etc. That means I can't sideload with adb?
Clean wipe removes everything except TWRP? Then with TWRP I can reinstall the back up?
Walk me through a clean wipe please?
EDIT
I can see the Nexus 5 via my laptop now (TWRP and MTP enable), but still no USB debugging, eg can't get Wugfresh to run to install back up. Have got nandroid back up to put into the phone, but where do I put it to get TWRP to see it to flash recovery? And it does not appear to be a zip file in the wugfresh folder??

1. forget about wugfresh and usb debugging, dont use that
2. copy any working rom to your phones storage
3.wipe data ,cache, dalvik cache, system
4.install the rom and reboot
5.you will only loose ur app and app data
Always better to go manual than a toolkit. Ya learn how things work. And fyi dont download anything unless its from XDA. Never know what u might be getting. Learn adb and fastboot and you will be able to master any android device. Good luck.

Thank you - one question - the rom I have is a TWRP backup made via Wugfresh. It isn't a zip file, so I am not clear how it can be installed?

Instead of having wugfresh click restore on twrp for you, you click it yourself.

I now can't get into the Nexus 5 again. I could earlier on today and I moved the recovery folder (which is NOT a zip and is called 2014-04-08--14-42-13) to download, because I could not find the restore directory in TWRP. When I click Restore in TWRP nothing is there. Install does nothing either. I can move the folder to back ups and recovery, but nothing happens either. So where on earth do I put this folder in order that TWRP can find it and run it?
Any help MUCH appreciated
Did you try to simply restore from twrp? You shouldn't have had to move any files around

THANK YOU. I got it connected again by changing the USB cable. Very odd. But I am restored.

Alright calm down twrp can't access your internal storage cause it's encrypted what you would have to do sadly to obtain functionality is format data which will temporary remove encryption and then flash the decryption zip on xda.... So now when you boot to twrp internal storage is accessible now if you just want to remove twrp you have to go to download mode and fastboot flash your recovery img from your roms firmware

You going to have to flash the stock rom again and then go into your phone settings enable developer settings turn on oem unlock after that boot to download mode and flash twrp via Odin turn off the reboot after flashing in Odin after it flashes manually boot to recovery so twrp can patch the recovery...... After twrp is successfully installed you go to your device thread and find the custom rom you want

Download a ROM, put it on a USB drive, use an adapter to convert USB to microUSB or USBC(whichever your device uses), connect the USB to your device, boot into TWRP, choose the Install option, when you get to where you choose your files, find the USB drive and flash your ROM.

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion.
I just want to know something.
I transferred the rom zip file to my phone as u said and i can also see it in internal storage.Am also able to flash it
The whole story is like i first unlocked my bootloader and then installed the custom recovery...I have heard thatto install a custom rom, u require root
But in the case i did not perform any root.So is it ok to flash the rom+it shows failed to clear cache and failed to mount /product errors highlighted in red colour.
Pls advice <3

No, root is not required to flash a ROM, all that is required is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
I suggest you start over by flashing the exact same stock firmware version that you had before modified the device to fix the errors, then unlock the bootloader again(if flashing the firmware locks the bootloader again), then flash TWRP again, download your ROM and place it in your internal storage, flash the ROM but do not wipe anything until after you have flashed the ROM, after flashing the ROM, factory reset the device and wipe cache and dalvik cache(but not system and not internal storage) then reboot the device.
