NO OS

Hey guys,
i was on rooted lollipop/element-x kernel ....anyway,i just wanted to do factory reset,so i opened TWRP-recovery and i wiped data, "system", Cache, Dalvik... all of them
As a result, my Nexus 5 has no OS installed. ..so,how do i install the OS ? its now stuck on "google with unlocked bootloader (image ) " ........ssly,i am pissed off T_T ..

1.Download factory image from google ,
2. download and install fastboot/adb drivers (there's a pack on this forum that only requires 3 clicks)
3. Unzip the factory image archive
4. connect phone to pc , reboot to bootloader ( press and hold volume down and power ) ,
4.a type in a command window , from the folder where u have fastboot.exe "fastboot devices" -quotes . If you get a long string of numbers everything is fine
4.b if your bootloader isn't unlocked , type in a command window
fastboot oem unlock
5. run the flash-all.bat from the folder where you unzipped the archive
6. wait
7. wait some more
8. phone should reboot full stock.

1) Boot to TWRP recovery
2) connect USB to computer
3) enable MTP mode
4) copy rom zip to sdcard
5) flash

How to flash eu rom on Redmi note 7 pro

Today I will teach you how I change my rom from miui china to miui eu rom. I am having problems regarding the tutorials on youtube because as of now there is still no English tutorials on it. But first let me give you some idea on how I did it. I am only using windows 7 professional and so I did tried to download the following:
1. platform tools
2. adb set up
3. adb folder
4. Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019
5. Patched_fstab+vbmeta+thermal
6. TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-violet-2019-03-22_20-44.img
7. Latest EU Rom on your redmi note 7 pro
The following guides that I use is from Technobuzz "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDcrO61AnZg" Its not me who made this but only modified some methods to make it work on mine.
But to no avail the platform tools doesnt work because of missing dll issues so possible its because I use an older model of windows. I tried to use adb folder but encountered some problems that in no luck i cant format the userdata till i got messed up my device and so Im having this error on recovery saying that system doesnt work anymore and need to press powerbutton in order for me to shut down my phone. and thus I brick my phone.
Ok fast forward, so I did brick my phone then and I go the recovery due to system has been corrupted and so I tried to go to download "violet_images_V10.2.5.0.PFHCNXM_20190316.0000.00_9.0_cn_8e2009cdc7.tgz" in order to reflash my phone using miflash. Btw I came from miui 10.3.5.0 China stable rom so this means I downgraded my phone. Its okay for me cause I can root or install custom recovery more efficiently.
Instructions:
1. Install the adb set up
2. Make sure you unlock your bootloader already.
3. Put the TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-violet-2019-03-22_20-44.img and rename it to recovery.img
4. Put the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019 and Patched_fstab+vbmeta+thermal on your memory card and your latest eu rom zip file.
5. Downgrade your phone to miui 10.2.5.0 china rom to ensure a good installation of your twrp
6. Go to adb folder open cmd from there(right click and click open command window here)
7. Switch off your phone then hold volume down then power button to enter fastboot mode
8. Connect your phone to the computer via USB
9. Type: fastboot devices(It will list down the devices attach with the number to be able to make sure that your device is attached)
10. Type: fastboot erase userdata and press enter(It will run wait for it to end)11. Type: fastboot flash recovery (It will run wait for it to end)
9. Disconnect your phone then hold volume up then click power button to enter recovery mode
10. Go to wipe section then format type yes( It will run wait for it to end)
11. Go to Installation click select storage then choose memory card
12. Install Patched_fstab+vbmeta+thermal and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019
13. Go to wipe section then Advance wipe wipe the ff: dalvik cache, cache, system and data just ignore the vendor then swipe to wipe.
14. Install your latest eu rom on your sd card.
15. Install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019 for assurance
16. Install Magisk optional
17. Reboot your phone
and thats it. Pls do credits to the developer not mine thank you. Technobuzz

3] Once you're in the Bootloader Mode, locate the twrp.img on your PC , open a command prompt there , type in fastboot boot twrp.img , for example : fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0.1.img
4] Once you're booted into the TWRP , Click on WIPE > FORMAT DATA > TYPE YES , If it's done , Return to the Home Screen of TWRP , Click on REBOOT > BOOTLOADER.
5]Boot the twrp.img again like you did earlier , Once you're booted , Click on WIPE > ADVANCED WIPE > tick "INTERNAL STORAGE , SYSTEM , DATA , CACHE" , basically everything except "MICRO-SD and USB OTG" , After wiping , return back to the Home screen of TWRP , REBOOT > BOOTLOADER.
6] Boot twrp.img once again , like you did earlier , Now locate copypartitions.zip , rom.zip , twrp.zip and gapps.zip on your PC and move it to your river , Click on INSTALL > locate the files which you moved to your river ; possibly in /sdcard/ <here>.

Before following this guide, make sure you have followed the rom flashing guide below the post below or xiaomi.eu rom flashing guide.
If you have followed the flashing guide then you may continue.
Hello Amigos,
You can use this guide to install other recovery than TWRP also.(Other recoveries are listed in the guide itself)
Prerequisites:
Ubuntu/Debian/Ubuntu-Based Distros:
Open terminal
Type sudo apt install adb
Once that is installed.
Type sudo apt install fastboot.
Done.
Fedora:
Open terminal.
Type sudo dnf install android-tools.
Let it install and done.
OpenSUSE:
Download this official package from here according to your version :
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=hardware&package=android-tools
(Use either one the add repository and install manually or grab binary packages directly options.)
Steps to install
Then go to your custom rom download thread and check the date of rom file (In this case derpfest) and choose the recovery version closest to the release date of your rom.
Download the latest platform-tools for linux from the Android developer site and extract the zip in an easily accessible folder
Download the recovery image file
Restart your device to fastboot mode
Method 1:
Using this adb command if you have USB debugging active on your device:
adb reboot bootloader
Method 2:
- Turn off your device
- After it has completely turned off, press and hold Vol - and the Power button at the same time until the word "FASTBOOT" comes out Method 3:- Turn off your device
- Press and hold Vol - button
- Connect the USB cable (previously connected to the PC) to the device and press and hold the button until the word "FASTBOOT" comes out
4. Connect your device to the PC
5. Open a terminal window in the folder where you extracted the binaries from the archive from step 1
Easy method: Open the folder, and open a terminal in the folder itself. Terminal will open a window directly in the folder location
6. Verify that your device is recognized by fastboot using this command:
fastboot devices
If your device has been detected (a serial number followed by the word fastboot), you can continue. Otherwise, check if the drivers are installed correctly, although if you used Mi Unlock and were able to unlock the device correctly on the PC you are using, you should not have problems with that.
7. Type this command in the terminal window, but don't press Enter yet, just type it and leave a space at the end:
fastboot flash recovery_
Don't write the "_". This only indicates the space you should leave at the end.
8. Now, drag the image file (yourrecoveryhere.img) to the terminal window and drop it above the window . This will make you copy your exact location for convenience.
fastboot flash recovery "home/user/location/to/your/file/yourrecoveryhere.img""
Quotation marks are only added if the entire location has spaces.
Otherwise, it is displayed without quotation marks.
9. Press Enter and wait a few seconds . Once it shows that it is successfully flashed hold the Vol Up + Power button , once the device restarts release the power button and keep the Vol Up button pressed , after a few seconds the TTWRP logo will show , release the Vol Up button now.
DONE! You've started perfectly in recovery
This guide applies to all recoveries:
NOTE:
If your rom mentions to use a specific recovery then use that instead
To flash shrp recovery you have to extract the .img from the zip file of the recovery that you downloaded ,then flash it in the same way as told above , make sure after booting in the recovery you flash the zip file of the shrp recovery from which you extracted the .img file in the recovery itself.
DO NOT USE ORANGE FOX RECOVERY ! It is deprecated and unmaintained so it wont be updated in future .
If mtp not working or device not getting detected as a portable device in any recovery then watch this guide here: GUIDE
Download Link
TWRP Download (If your rom mentions to use NSE TWRP then use the NSE TWRP with the closest android Version to your rom's android version or else if it doesn't specifically mention any twrp version then use the normal TWRP , the one without NSE in its name, with the closest android version to your rom's android version ):

Steps to install
First of all unlock bootloader of your device . Search net for more info.
After this install adb drivers from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...reborn-v2-0-adb-fastboot-and-drivers.3854109/
Choose skip install for adb and install google drivers.
Connect your device in fastboot mode to your pc.
Go into device manager , right click on unrecognized android device , choose update drivers , let me pick from a list of drivers , select adb drivers , android bootloader interface and click install.
Then go to your custom rom download thread and check the date of rom file (In this case derpfest) and choose the recovery version closest to the release date of your rom.
Make sure you have the bootloader unlocked before you start. There are many guides on the internet for that.
Download the latest platform-tools from the Android developer site and extract the zip in an easily accessible folder
Download the recovery image file
Restart your device to fastboot mode
Method 1:
Using this adb command if you have USB debugging active on your device:
adb reboot bootloader

- Turn off your device
- After it has completely turned off, press and hold Vol - and the Power button at the same time until the word "FASTBOOT" comes out Method 3:- Turn off your device
- Press and hold Vol - button
- Connect the USB cable (previously connected to the PC) to the device and press and hold the button until the word "FASTBOOT" comes out
4. Connect your device to the PC
5. Open a cmd window in the folder where you extracted the binaries from the zip from step 1
Easy method: Open the folder, and without leaving it, type "cmd" in the address bar of the file explorer and press enter. Command promt will open a window directly in the folder location
6. Verify that your device is recognized by fastboot using this command:
fastboot devices
If your device has been detected (a serial number followed by the word fastboot), you can continue. Otherwise, check if the drivers are installed correctly, although if you used Mi Unlock and were able to unlock the device correctly on the PC you are using, you should not have problems with that.
7. Type this command in the cmd window, but don't press Enter yet, just type it and leave a space at the end:
fastboot flash recovery_
Don't write the "_". This only indicates the space you should leave at the end.
This is how it should look when you write it:
8. Now, drag the image file (yourrecoveryhere.img) to the command window and drop it above the window. This will make you copy your exact location for convenience.
- The result should be this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\location\to\your\file\yourrecoveryhere.img"
Quotation marks are only added if the entire location has spaces.
Otherwise, it is displayed without quotation marks.
9. Press Enter and wait a few seconds . Once it shows that it is successfully flashed hold the Vol Up + Power button , once the device restarts release the power button and keep the Vol Up button pressed , after a few seconds the TWRP logo will show , release the Vol Up button now.

Connect your device in fastboot mode to your pc.
Go into device manager , right click on unrecognized android device , choose update drivers , let me pick from a list of drivers , select adb drivers and click install.
Then go to your custom rom download thread and check the date of rom file(In this case derpfest).
Check the date of file.
Then go to xiaomifirmwareupdater.com and select rom archive and select your device.
Then MIUI downloads page will appear. type fastboot in search and look for a MIUI global version released
as the same or very close to the Custom ROM date (in this case it is this)
Download the fastboot version according to the date.
Go into the stock rom folder and double click on flash_all.bat(all data will be lost) .
Or open cmd in the folder and type flash_all.bat in cmd and hit enter.(This method allows to look for errors)
A cmd window will popup with fastboot commands automatically and after complete flashing of rom will close automatically. (approx. 20-25 mins)
Let the device boot into MIUI.
Once it boots, power it off . Then press the vol down + power button until fastboot in orange letters appear.
Then follow the twrp flashing guide from here
Then flash the ROM according to the instructions.
NOTE:
Make sure to always extract and move the stock rom folder in root of C: drive (this helps avoid flashing errors)The path should look something like this:
C:\beryllium_global_images_YourVersionhere
Then flash the stock rom.
Clean Flashing a ROM:
I hope you have followed the entire guide above before doing this step.
Reboot to recovery.
Format data.
Flash ROM file.
Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Reboot and enjoy.
Everytime you do a clean flash, you must redo all the steps above.
If a rom does not include flashing instructions, it requires a clean flash.
If a rom mentions to wipe something in advanced wipe , then wipe ONLY that and nothing else.
If rom mentions clean flash and not wiping of anything else then dont be smart to wipe anything unecessary.
If your rom mentions to use a specific recovery then use that instead
Always flash magisk after the first boot of your rom
If mtp not working or device not getting detected as a portable device in any recovery then watch this guide here: GUIDE
Do not replace the recovery or try to update recovery that comes with roms. This can brick your device
Enjoy!
