I need to flash an os (currently dont have one) but the pc does not recognize the phone. I think it is because I renamed a folder in the firmware directory, not the verinfo. If someone can please tell me the original name of the other folder (notverinfo) in /firmware. Hopefully that IS the problem otherwise ill be buying an sd card to flash an os. Please and thank you.
All the drivers are up to date. Cannot adb push or sideload, not detected in fastboot & adb.

i have a slight problem. i grabbed the ubuntu touch alpha and went in to recovery, loaded it (according to thread instructions) but ended up with a bootloop.
in the end i thought "lets just put another rom back on for now" and then realised i had deleted the other rom from the sdcard! so i'm stuck with it not booting in to ubuntu, and not able to get another rom on as it doesn't boot in.
can i connect to the internal sdcard area myself by plugging the usb in to the pc or something?
i have twrp loaded as recovery
thanks
ah, TWRP adb sideload to the rescue!
problem

The issue, Superwipe wipes the internal /sdcard/ and also this is where it flashes from.
You need to boot to recovery and then use ADB to push files to the sdcard.
If you have never used ADB, it can be a bit daunting.
First, you need adb from the Android SDK. It is a big file for the few you need. I have a copy of the relevant ADB files here: https://db.tt/b9dQ6xzp
Unzip this to c:\adb folder on windows. If you are using Linux, it should already have adb in the /usr/bin/ folder.
Next, you need the Universal Naked Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1934814&d=1367674531
Unzip these to c:\universal_naked_drivers
Boot to CWM and then plug in your USB cable. It should show a new device found. It may find 2, an MTP and then there should be another either Unknown device or an Android ADB device. Right click and update the driver. Be sure to search for driver, then tell it you want to pick from a list. Hit the Have Disk button and then hit the browse button and browse to c:\universal_naked_drivers and hit OK. It should show you a driver to select and hit OK. If you are using Win 8, there is an additional step that is required to used non-signed drivers.
Once the driver is updated, download the zip file you want to flash on your PC. I assume it is a ROM.zip file for this example. Place this file in the c:\adb folder and call it ROM.zip (can be named something else, but this is what we will use for this example).
Now, open a command prompt and execute the following:
Code:
> [B]c:[/B]
c:\> [B]cd c:\adb[/B]
c:\adb> [B]adb devices[/B]
It will probably say some messages about the daemon is not running, restarting adb.
Then it should show a list. There should be some numbers followed by "recovery"
If no devices are shown, check that your ADB device is showing in the Device Manager.
Once you see it in the adb devices list, continue:
Code:
c:\adb> [B]adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/[/B]
successfully pushed xxx bytes
c:\adb>
At this point you should now see the ROM.zip file on the internal storage in CWM to allow you to install it.
Choose to install the file then reboot (not to recovery). You have to let it flash the file (progress bar will show). Once the screen goes black and the progress bar disappears, it should now boot to your ROM..
If your ROM requires a custom kernel and/or GAPPS to be flashed, use the same procedure to push your kernel.zip and GAPPS.zip to the /sdcard/ directory.

Can you explain what you did please? what is adb sideload?
Hey guys, I need assistance please. I was attempting to upgrade my Mi4 to Lollipop.. I downloaded Gapps and clockworkmod zip files as instructed to upgrade to Lollipop, however the asop ROM file asop-cancro-5.3.19 had not finished downloading when I started the update.
I got clock work mod R11 installed, however I do not have an asop Rom zip file downloaded to flash on the drive. I have the asop ROM file downloaded on my Macbook and on my PC, and I thought maybe the mounts and storage option would work if I hook the phone to the computers, however neither seems to recognize the phone, or Im not doing it right..... I'm basically stuck at the clock work mod screen, so how can I get the ASOP file over to the phone so I can flash it? unfortunately I did not do a backup before starting this process... The pic is where I am at.. Thanks to everyone in advance...
Is adb working in CWM recovery? "adb push FILENAME.zip /sdcard/" will upload file to phone internal memory (you need USB drivers and Android platform tools for this).
Full system recovery with mi-flash should at least work:

Im gonna try for a full system recovery as you mentioned below, thank you so much.. Ill let you know.. still learning this stuff, but eager.. as you can tell..lol

After doing a bad flash, I wiped my system data for some reason. I want to flash the rom again but ADB won't push files
It says that device hasn't been found in the terminal. I know for sure that not only do I have USB drivers installed, but my ADB, JDK is also installed. The rom file is in my platform-tools folder. Also, I CD'ed to the platform-tools because that is where ADB is located. Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I did an advanced wipe wiping everything - Dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage and cache.
Now, when I try to reboot, it says no OS and keeps bringing me back to TWRP. I tried the install feature but looks like there's no file in it either. My PC does not detect my phone as a hardware I think as when I tried to copy the ZIP file to it using another post which I'm not allowed to post here, the cmd commands for adb and mkdir were not recognized.
Can someone please help me salvage my phone?
In case any more details are required about the phone, happy to provide.

Go to Device management, you'll find the android composite device there. Change the driver to MTP device.
you can also try using adb sideloas
I assume you use Windows? It's probably just a driver issue. I always install official Google Android SDK, which contains proper USB drivers. Once you install it, your phone should be recognized by PC, while in TWRP.

You need to add path to adb.exe to Windows PATH variable, then reboot and cmd should recognize adb commands, or you can just navigate to folder with adb.exe in cmd. Then check if adb can see your device, if it does, then just do adb sideload of ROM, and flash your ROM in TWRP.
If it's all too complicated, just return to stock using instructions from Google factory image website.
Put a rom on a flash drive, and connect it to your phone. In TWRP, go into "Mount" options, mount the flash drive (cant remember the exact wording), and then...can't remember quite vividly how, but it's easy from there to navigate inside your flash drive and install the rom.
REMEMBER: the flash drive should be formatted in FAT32 for TWRP to recognize it.
hey guys,
I was on stock 8.1 oxygen 5.1.8 rooted magisk with exposed installed, everything worked fine !
Untill I flashed https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/8-0-8-1-t3822594 I flashed the first zip file (8.0-8.1 black theme), after restart the phone is stuck in the oxygen bootscreen. Just to be safe before flashing I also put the uninstall zip file, so I flashed the uninstall zip file, but the phone is still stuck in the oxygen boot screen.
The big problem is, I have some data on my phone which i which to retrieve, I can enter into twrp but when connecting to the pc, the pc does not find my op6 drive. How can I fix this, the data is really important on the op6 which i would like to retrieve to my pc.
I hope someone can help me out here.
TWRP doesn't support MTP for now. So use:
adb pull /sdcard
It will download all files from Your internal storage to Your PC.
Just make sure that You have minimal adb installed on Your PC, and then run that command in PowerShell/CMD or Terminal.

thnx for response, but could you just tell me in steps what I should do to retrieve my internal data without moving all the files from the phone to pc, the most important files are only the pictures and videos I shot. Is there a way to select specific folders that I would like to transport to my pc ?
There's an mtp enabled unofficial twrp version that you could boot from fastboot:

thnx but i am already transfering all the files from my 128gb through the adb pull, I already extracted around 55gb, I think in one hour it should be done.
Anyways, I am really gratefull for the help I received, I hope to see a stable twrp with mtp ^^,
