Good day!
In my phone i have non-working recovery. I cannot fix it by connecting phone to PC and running fastboot beacouse of damaged USB connector in my phone. It only allows me to charge up it's battery, no connectivity (I've checked it with several cables and PC's).
Is there any way to flash recovery partition from running lineageOS? Something like dd if=twrp.img of=partition? I have root on it.
This phone is weared a bit so i don't want to invest money i fixing its USB/battery
Thanks for help

Hi guys,
Two weeks ago, I decided to try another rom, as I often do.
I booted into the recovery, formated everything, and got the rom ready on my computer.
However, when I connected the usb cable to the phone, nothing happened. Strange, it had no problems before. Tried another PC and a few other cables (the original one too). Nothing.
The phone only charges but isn't recognized by any computer (it doesn't even show up in the device manager and there is no sound). The drivers are ok, it worked before that.
I also tried an otg cable with the rom on a usb drive and it doesn't see that either.
I thought, "great", my usb port data pins must be dead so I ordered one. I'm so lucky that i got a DOA one. (this one isn't even charging the phone)
So now I'm waiting for a new one or a refund.
Do you know any way to transfer a file/rom to the phone that has no OS (it boots fine in the recovery - twrp) without using a cable?
Thanks
I'm not sure of the finer details but can't you do it via fastboot. Or at least I would imagine you could install stock rom this way. ??? Like I said I'm no expert just a guess.
Good luck.

You cannot use fastboot without a USB connection to a computer.
Maybe there is some dust or dirt in your USB port. Try using some compressed air to blow it out, or try taking a small plastic knife or something similar and scraping it a bit. Once your computer recognizes is, then you can proceed.
It is possible that a windows update or something messed with the drivers. I would uninstall the drivers and start over.
Hi guys hopefully I posted this in the right place. I have a rooted Nexus 5 with multirom installed and had a few ROMs in mind that I wanted to try out, most of them just installed simply and booted without problems however when I chose to try and install slimrom or another (can't remember the name of the other ROM sorry) a message would appear stating I need to install a different bootloader IMG to install/ boot that ROM. I searched around for a while and found an image to install through twrp but when I installed it I now can't boot the phone to launch a ROM or get into recovery mode as the screen will go black. Any ideas? I'm trying to used adb to install a twrp img but so far it doesn't detect the device :/ I would much appreciate any help or suggestions! Ask me if you have any questions! Thanks.
Have tried to flashing back to a completely stock rom?
Problem is I can't get my computer to recognize my nexus 5 in the boot loader mode if I could I could then flash twrp again and flash the stock rom but it doesn't detect
Does the phone boot into fastboot mode? You tried different USB ports, cables, computers, and operating systems?
The only mode I can get my Nexus into is boot loader mode so yes fast boot. I have a windows xp and 8 so I use 8 as its the only PC that I can run adb & fast boot on without problems. I have used a USB cord the recognized my sisters phone also so it shouldn't be a faulty cable I'm pretty sure. Thanks for those ideas I appreciate your help a lot!

Use the cable that came with the phone.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I once wiped my system and rebooted and got stuck in a loop. at his thread is what I used to save my phone. Hope it helps.

Speaking from personal experience, I found that the USB cable could make a difference. I also have Samsung phones and, although the USB cable allowed win7 to install drivers, I could never flash anything. Once I switched back to the original cable, flashing works without any problems.
tahnks guys i managed to fix my problem using the nexus in bootloader mode on Windows 7 as windows 8 and xp wouldn't recognize it for some reason. From there i managed to install twrp reset the device, flash theserurection remix rom and flash a correct bootloader. Thanks for your help as it lead me in the right direction!
Hello all.
Unfortunately I dropped my phone last week which result in a broken screen (Glass got broken, as well as the lcd, black screen, touch works sometimes). Now I'm sitting here, trying to recover all my important data.
First guides you find on the internet are about some Backup Software for windows. Just connect your phone and youre ready to go.
(Almost, as you need to verify the connection or have to have adb/ usb debugging enabled, which I don't unfortunately.)
So those things about adb backup do not work aswell.
I do have a custom rom installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/update-to-marshmallow-t3399953.
Does this custom rom install a recovery? I tried booting into recovery like 100 times by pressing volume down as well as the power button. But without any optical feedback this is hard and I'm not 100% sure if it is even installed.
If not, wouldn't it be an option to install twrp or cwm? Is this possible without usb debugging enabled? I've managed to do this on samsung devices, even without adb through odin, while connecting the device in download mode. Is there something similar for LG?
I think if I get to manage to enable usb debugging it would work perfectly fine, I would be able to backup won't I?
Last thing I would try is buying an slim port to hdmi adapter, connect to pc and verify the connection to the backup software using an hdmi monitor. I think this would work, but maybe theres some way I overlooked which don't need me to buy this adapter.
Thanks for your Help,
Whitz
Unfortunately the Device won't show up when executing "adb devices".
Maybe because the device isnt unlocked at time of being?
The Device isnt recognized by the Computer either, so maybe the connection is unfortunately set on "Only Provide Power" or whatever this mode is called in english
Any further tips?
Good day gents and ladies
Well let me start from the beginning.
I'm was using mi-globe 6.12.22
Last week Friday evening downloaded 7.2.9 mi-globe,read around the mi-globe forum.Didn't see anything funny so flashed via twrp on Saturday morning.Hmmmmmmmm this is when all my problems started.
Basically what I should of done is download 7.2.9,new 3.0.3 twrp for norgat,go into recovery flash new recovery, restart recovery,flash 7.2.9 and then have happy days.But it wasn't to be and now I'm basically sitting with a useless mi4c device.
The device works but warms up and I only get about 4 hours battery life.
If I try boot into recovery I just get black screen.
If I connect device to PC it is not recognized, have tried 3 x different laptop/PC's and different cables.
So fastboot,mi-flash,mi-unlock are all not possible as device is not recognized.
I have been trying different solutions without any success.
I think if it would be possible to root device directly without PC then maybe it will be possible to get flashfire working and I can flash new norgat recovery?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
NB.I have tried loading Qualcomm drivers ,google drivers etc etc.no luck can't connect my device too PC,either get device not recognized or the PC doesn't even see the device.Enable USB debugging etc etc nothing works.Been fiddling for 4 days!!!!!!!
Tried to root with kingoroot,framaroot directly on device etc nothing works?
Please help,else device is a nice piece of plastic that holds paper down on my table.lol

Is usb charging via pc working and have you tried miui updater? , This seems weird state you have ... If none working might be tried deep flash cable flashing ... Or go to nearest service center. Hope that help. Best luck.
Hi,yes USB chargers device via PC but that's all.
How does one deep flash,could you post link please?
I bought the device in China about 18 months ago,Xiaomi never sold mi4c in my country so doubt they could help me locally.
Seems I have soft bricked the device?Tried every thing no solution.
If it would possible to root without USB cable I could maybe try flash new twrp via flash fire?Then could wipe all and try start again?

You havent answered the miui updater part, have you tried flash miui rom.zip, using miui updater apps ?
Does fastboot mode boot on your phone ? i mean the bunny sceen showed up ?
For dfc here the link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/miui-deep-flash-engineering-cable-solution-to-non-edl-device/
Please take dfc as last resort. And do research more on this... Do with your own risk. Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry I have tried updater, I download rom start updater it starts but after about 2 minutes stops and phones shuts down.
I then have to restart phone with long press of power button. It restarts but nothing has changed.
Wrt fastboot it goes into fastboot but this is useless cause no Pc can see my device and if it sees it it sees unknown device, spent countless hours trying different things without any success.
Seems have soft bricked the device, phone works but gets hot and battery life maybe 4 hours if I'm lucky?
Not sure what more today?

Before this has your pc able to use the miflash ? Try to follow this guide to setup it correctly http://en.miui.com/thread-136188-1-1.html ... I follow this guide and the adb n fastboot even works on an old pentium 4, 512mb ram, win xp laptop.
Ps: I think, its only a matter of incorrect driver setup on your side, best luck.
Hi guys,
I got a OPO borrowed from a friend because my OP3T is going to RMA.
When I first turned it on it had 1% battery. The phone wasn't used for a month. I proceded to recharge the battery. This took almost 18h. I saw the low battery error 3 or 4 times during attempts to power on the handset.
After full charge in installed the latest build of Lineage OS via TWRP. Unfortunately as I was having some WIFI connectivity issues I read that flashing the c7 modem firmware could solve the problem.
I was in TWRP flashing this same zip via sideload with an unbeknownst to me faulty cable. I grabbed the handset mid flash, and it fails with a connectivity error. I tried repeating the process with no luck, as I could not by any means regain adb connection to the handset. And then i decided to reboot and download the zip directly to the phone, without remembering this broken flash attempt could brick the phone. After rebooting I never saw again the One Plus logo neither felt the startup vibration. I tried power cycling with no success, and I cannot by any means detect the phone in windows device manager to attempt the usual unbrick procedures via COLOR or OnePlusRecoveryTool.
Windows doesn't even try to install drivers. It's as if the phone is completely shutdown forever.
What do you think. Did I really hard brick this phone? Is it a battery issue? Any ideas. I really liked to recover the phone to return it to my friend!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Could be a battery issue too since the device was unused for a month. Did you tried booting into fastboot mode or TWRP?
Which windows are you using?(I suggest you use winXp and win7) Did you tried the qualcomm 2012 drivers from the Color Os toolkit thread and the drivers given on Cm11s restore toolkit thread? -you should know that the fastboot(/adb) drivers will not work for qualcomm diagnostic port method(which the both toolkits are based on).

No success booting with volume up or down so no fastboot neither twrp. I'm using windows 10 (only one i have). I can't install the drivers because the device doesn't show up on device manager right?
I'll try finding a win XP although I'm sensing the habdset isn't powering at all...

Yes,as I said, could be a battery issue but we are still not sure yet.I can give you the link for winxp or win7 if you need and then you can dual-boot it alongside windows10.You should install drivers from cm11s restore toolkit thread(executable drivers),maybe then your device will show up in device manager though it is highly advised to do this on Xp or 7 since 8,8.1 and 10 has driver signing issues.
