I inherited a T959 that I cant get to unbrick. It boots to splash ("Overstock", whatever that is...) and hangs. I can get to recovery (CWM 2.5.1.3 w/ voodoo lagfix) and I can get it into download mode from there. I cant get ADB to find device, I cant get it to show up on ODIN (3 v1.0 or v1.7), and I cant see sdcard in CWM recovery. Any ideas?
Setup:
Windows 7x64
Latest USB drivers.
What drivers do you have installed? Have you tried a different cable?
Funny thing, I read a few posts about bad USB cables but thought "naw, that can't be it". Turns out it is.
I still cant get the SD card to read from CWM, but I will ODIN it back to factory and see what I can do. Thanks.
You can mount the internal or external sd card trough cwm and coppy your files, or what ever rom you wanna flash, you just gotta have the right drivers and then go into (mounf and storage) then mount your sd card or internal storage...
Got it all up and running. Thanks.
Hi everyone

Go into TWRP and adb push a rom.
There is also USB storage under mounts.

can someone tell me how i can push a file in adb
You could always go back to stock ATT firmware. Download the LGNPST and the firmware and then put your phone into download mode and flash it. This will overwrite your recovery with stock stuff but at least you will have something running so you can start over.

I was looking into that but adb seems a lot easier. just push a rom onto the phone and flash it right there. Ill see how that works out

If you have an OTG cable you can also load a ROM onto a USB flash drive and connect it to your phone via the OTG cable. TWRP will need to be set to "External SD" in order to see it. I had to do that with my Nexus 7 when I did something similar.
Edit: Duh, I'm an idiot. It would be far easier to unmount your microSD card with TWRP, take it out of your phone, put it in a SD adapter, then load the ROM to the card from your PC, put it back in your phone, remount it in TWRP and then set it to "External SD" to flash the ROM. Provided you don't have an OTG cable, but do have a SD adapter.

Dude, all you have to do is mount your storage, download which ever Rom u want on your computer and transfer it to your phone. Then do the wipes and flash the rom.
i did that once, thats y i keep copies of my fave roms on my extSD, twrp can read from the extSD and flash from that. i've done nocturnal and slick from flashed from my extSD not internal and it worked just fine, if u prefer tho twrp can copy the file to the internal storage and u can flash that. if u dont have any roms on ur extSD just plug that into the comp and copy a rom to it then restart in recovery and flash away...same idea as baron but using the extSD instead of mounting storage and plugging the phone into the computer
My G3 is a blank slate right now.
I put the SD card into my PC and downloaded the CM12 file and the Gapps file. Now with it back in the phone I can't find them. I click install > External Sd > nothing there.
Under "mount" it wont let me click the SD card.
Where do I start?
I would plug the phone in and reflash back stock and start over. But u could try mounting the the phone as usb storage and dl the files directly to it thn search for them on the internal storage since it wont connect to the sd.

Plug it into where and reflash it how? You have to ELI5. I'm reformatting my SD card now to see if it will recognize it.
Wow. I really had to go through some trial and error there. I spend the last few hours trying to get the ADB side loading to work. Trying ever driver known to man. I kept getting the no devices message. There was a specific order that it had to be done in order for it to be recognizing the device at the time of loading. Enable mtp > adp > plug in > side load.
I'm up and running CM12 now. And I'm ready for bed!
Since you have twrp installed, why not just get an SD card and put a ROM on it and flash? Seems like the easy way to me.
For future reference, was the phone recognized by adb when in TWRP? If so, did you try to push any files to the internal storage?
I did that once I just flashed a tot file then just rerooted I couldn't connect phone back with adb or anything
Hey,

U can use a USB OTG or SD with the stock rom or u can push the zip via adb and flash via recovery.

borrow it from someone for abit. sd card is easy to come by. cause if you can't do adb, there's really no other way to flash your rom in then via otg or sd.

omg, are you serious.. you can use an adapter. If they don't have an adapter, just put the sd card into some other phone, and connect that other phone via usb to your pc and transfer the rom

So... I don't even know, if I use ADB right. I use it in this way:
I boot into recovery - Open ADB on Computer - Plug my phone into the computer - Tap in the recovery ADB sideload - Its loading, loading... While its loading I check, if my ADB on my computer finds my phone (adb devices), it don't find it - my phone displays after a few minutes a red error (just one word, error)
So, am I doing right? Please correct me, if I doing sth wrong. Thanks
If you have TWRP then you should be able to connect your phone to PC via usb and transfer data on internal storage via MTP.
Hey,
All u need is a little work, firstly I would recommend you to buy 1 sdcard as it's so cheap and easy to get rather than borrowing it from friend, as u may need it again sooner or later.
Second, after u plug in usb cable to pc, please check whether your pc has installed right adb driver for your device or it wont work for adb sideload command.
Third, ensure you have the right rom for your device, I assume you have it downloaded into your pc. Just open the adb terminal and type adb sideload filename.zip . and it will automatically start installation process.
Dont forget to make a full nandroid backup at least once and save it in Sdcard or cloud storage for emergency case like one you're facing now.
Good luck buddy [emoji1]

Hey, I am not a noob, but I too accidentally deleted my internal memory of samsung SM-N750. I am quite experienced in using odin and flashing kernels etc. But I am stupidly impatient. Today I performed a nandroid backup, then went ahead and wiped off ALL DATA except sd card! It was cuz of lack of awareness and shortage of time. I am preparing for my college exams, suddenly xposed framework caused repeated bootloops, so I decided to perform a proper rom installation, root and xposed right from scratch.
Anyways, I easily installed the lollipop rom via odin, rooted it and everything's peachy.
Is there any way of recovering that nandroid backup zip file, which was on the internal storage? In short, Does twrp perform a full wipe or quick wipe of storage?
I tried using an app "undeleter" but it didn't find any such (around 4gb) zip file in the internal storage. Any other android or windows based apps?
I don't stand to lose too much, just that I would have to install all apps and settings etc which will waste a lot of time.
@arya809
I believe that big files are harder to recover. There's an app called DiskDigger but to recover .zip files you need the pro version which is paid and it can't guarantee that you will recover your file. I do not know any other app that might help you (there are many apps for windows but I can't recommend a particular one since I haven't used any).
If you didn't lost important data I will recommend to install them manually. You can use your PC and install the desired apps directly from http://play.google.com/ (it might be slightly faster to find and install them).
Boot up the recovery, plug it into your computer, your device should show up in the file manager, copy the ROM to the device, and then flash it

There is a device called card reader(some wizard from hogwarts invented it) which will help you to copy data to sd card from your computer
And did you tried mount option in twrp???
In twrp first click mount internal storage the connect it with usb cable it will show storage on your device then copy the rom to it.
Sorry for bad english
I was running the Pure Nexus ROM but took the decision to try a new one, that's when the trouble started.
Before semi bricking the N9, i updated the version of TWRP on it to 3.2.1-0 and installed supersu as it wasn't rooted prior to messing it up.
IO think the trouble started when TWRP was asking for a password, and it didn't match the PIN i had setup. Anyway, i d/loaded slimrom 7.1.2 and gapps to root of SD card, did a factory reset and wiped, system, dalvik and cache. When i went to flash the new ROM, i couldn't see the zip file in the root folder.
If i look at the root folder in recovery, i see one of the images below and the other when rebooting the tablet.
When i try to connect the N9 to my windows 10 PC it is not being detected, i don't know why do to about this to try and go down the adb route.
I have installed Android Studio to try and move things on, but i don't know what to do next, or even if anything can be done.
I am almost sure i had the OEM unlocked before flashing the rom.
Can someone suggest what i should try next? I won't be able to check back in for a day or two due to work, but i definitely will when i get the chance.
TIA
Did you format data? To remove encryption. Format, not wipe.

Gave it a go, no luck unfortunately. The sdcard is as the attached image.
I have ordered an OTG cable, hopefully i will be able to flash a rom that way on TWRP.
Edit: i was able to borrow an OTG cable. I formatted it FAT32 on windows PC and copied across the rom zip file. I rebooted into recovery on N9, and tried to mount the usb drive, but it is not appearing on the list of devices. When i pligged the same OTG cable and attached usb drive into my phone, it picked them up, so i think the otg cable i am using is good.

If you formatted data, there won't be anything on sdcard. You'll have to either push it with adb, or as you said otg.
Or download the factory image and fastboot flash to start over. Or sideload the full OTA zip (they have full images of ota zips now).
Got it sorted in the end. Embarrassingly the reason the tablet wasn't detected by my Windows PC is because the cable was a little lose.

At least you got it. And a little tip, you can screenshot in twrp just like in the os. Power + volume down
