Phone can't boot up, how to copy a ROM via recovery?

So basically i am trying to put the ROM zip file to the phone via ADB..
I have TWRP, so i start ADB SIDELOAD
connect phone to computer
and run adb devices
but i have never managed to find the phone...
I even tried to install adb drivers but:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
P.S

I have dualboot Windows 8 & Ubuntu 14.04
if that helps in anyway

have you tried Ubuntu??
windows sometimes has a lot of problem.

If you've got a driver installed that works fine you can use Device Manager in Windows. Connect your phone, find it in the list, choose update driver, and the option that lets you choose a driver from the list. Select the driver that works (mine is called MyHTC) and it should install. You need to repeat this for eachc of the three states (adb in Android, fastboot, and adb in Recovery)

Having issues with OPO adb

Hello everybody
Well, I have his issue. I tried to flash some new roms into the OPO yesterday and I had some issues with one, so I decided to flash other one, but when I wiped the things I also wiped the internal storage and I didnt know that that would erase my OS, now i'm trying to flash a rom but it wont let me with the bootloader because it says its locked, and if i try to unlock it using OPO toolking via ADB sideload the phone shows it requires ADB 1.0.32 which is the same that i have installed on my computer and if I try it using the bootloader option it just restarts and it keeps being locked. If I try to send a rom with the CMD on my pc it says "error: closed"
I have done some research and found some similar cases but not simiilar enough to have the same fixes
I have windows 10 and TWRP is 2.8.7.0
If anybody helps me that would be pretty useful
Thanks!

SOLUTIONS THAT MIGHT WORK
1) Use Fastboot instead of Sideload
Cmd
Go to Fastboot folder with CD
Boot into Fastboot , then type fastboot devices.
If you see the Oneplus One, then just download a random ROM and FLASH the ZIP

Tablet bootloader broken! PLEASE HELP!

Hello guys, last week I installed the unofficial port of MM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/unofficial-update-original-shield-t3281541 and everything was going well until yesterday the screen got frozen. I tried to reboot the tablet but It got frozen in the nvidia boot logo, so I tried to reinstall the ROM through fastboot. This step is when I realized that I cant write sometimes through fastboot. I can go into this mode but sometimes the writing failed until now everytime it fail. This is the error reported on the screen:
writing 'boot' ...
FAILED (remote: (FileWriteFailed)
This is a screen capture of the command window:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think that I have broken the bootloader but I cant find the bootloader img for the tablet. Any help will be thanked!

If fastboot is working you still have a working bootloader. You are in fact in the bootloader. I'm not sure why fastboot write would fail. Perhaps the Windows fastboot driver should be reinstalled.
The bootloader is flashed by a "blob" file and is included with restoration images. If the bootloader does get damaged somehow, you can only boot to APX mode and only Nvidia can repair that.

Try do download and use minimal ADB.
Also reinstall the fastboot driver on your PC (deleting tablet from control panel/system/.... and connecting it again and istall again the driver you download from nvidia site or here on XDA)
best thing you can do if fastboot commadn don't work (happen to me) is download a recovery imagere (again nvidia developer site or here on XDA) and use the flashall.bat.
Magic done for me

and u can use it when u have only Apx? .... i cant find driver for it ... i have only black screen alltime

helllo ..! but still the above case wil work for the deactivated shield's..? my sheilds are now in apx mode..
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using xda premium

If you can only boot APX mode you are stuck. There's no driver for APX mode so you can't do anything with it. Only NVidia can repair it at that point.

I don't know if this may be important but two days before this happened I encrypted the tablet. this may be affect the bootloader? The tablet is still unusable since I can't flash anything thought fastboot starts.

MT7-L09: Phone Unlocked BUT command not allowed when flashing

Hi,
I never saw this problem
My phone is unlocked (since a year more or less) and I can't install TWRP nor CWM. I tried many tutorials such as all the root methods listed on XDA for this smartphone.

There might be a problem with your drivers. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling them. Also, try using fastboot commands manually

unlock again

Thank you. I'd like not to have to relock it as it's already done and rooted. Could you please tell me what drivers to install? I tested many of them (https://i.imgur.com/wBgsezr.png) but it seems I don't have the right ones then.
I'm using Win7 64bits.
Thanks again!

Use adbdriveinstaler and when it's install you can push recovery to add folder and try this command
cd C:/adb
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Change name your twrp or cwm to recovery
Send frome globe

Okay. Here we go
ADB driver installed (https://i.imgur.com/PWrZoHH.png)
Went to flash and... still not allowed.
And in fastboot/rescue mode on my phone it's written PHONE Unlocked.
WTF
BTW, is there any other way to upgrade the phone? Cause every time I go to the software update in the menu i'm told it's up-to-date, but it's not... Android 4.4.2 & EMUI 3.0.
I read about a "local update" but can't find out how to update from the SDcard, I only have OTA.
