Droid DNA Stuck on Boot (NO OS) - HTC Droid DNA

So, i was in recovery to restore to a previous backup. I was wiping my system to prevent errors but unfortunately i wiped EVERYTHING, including the backup and the OS. So, i kept it in recovery till i got home hoping to just mount my storage and transfer a ROM over and ten install..sounds easy enough. However, i plug my phone in and click mount storage and it doesn't mount with twrp, or even clock work mod.
Soo....i have no OS, can't mount my storage..and i'm stuck.
Can i flash a ROM through command line? If so, how? And why isin't my Droid DNA mounting?
Wttttfff help asap please!
Aaannd...now i'm stuck in the boot screen and it won't turn off.

Just use either adb push or adb sideload

Nice! forgot about those commands, however it's telling me that adb is not a recognized command. I've forgotten how to fix that? Can you help with that?

Adb sideload starts up and says daemon not running, then start's it succesfully. then says device not found. I'm pretty sure i don't have the right drivers for my DNA, can you point me in the right direction for that?

I really need help, i don't think i can even turn on usb debugging because i have no OS to boot into.

FIXED. I got this

What steps did you take?

I looked a little more into ad sideload. I sideloaded a zip of the Rom I wanted and then chose to flash through sideload.
You pretty much:
Download your rom and put it into your fasboot directory oin your.
Boot into recovery and choose "install" then "install zip from sideload"
It should say to now type into command promt "adb sideload romfilrname"
It then loads it, and you just hit flash after it loads.

with no o/s and im pretty much on the same boat, how did you get adb to read your device? when i type in adb devices it gives me a blank list of devices

It worked for without ever actually listing my device.

can you adb into the phone from your PC ?
you can try to push a rom to /data/media
boot to recovery wait about 10 seconds and the open cmd on you pc and run adb
adb push Rom.zip /data/media
wait for it to copy (it takes a while)
reboot phone back to recovery
your rom.zip should be on the phone now
Flash
your home free
Does twrp run? You should still be able to install the Rom as long as your recovery program still works.

Here is the instructions i posted that got another guy up and running hope it helps you out
This worked in CWM anyway
Boot into recovery
from the pc (c:\fastboot) do the adb push filename.zip /data/media
wait for it to copy
then on the phone reboot recovery your rom should be in the root of the sdcard waiting for you to flash
I just tested it and it worked perfect ( of coarse I didn't format my sdcard so ymmv )

Ok first, thank you for taking the time to help me with this.
I am a little bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I know just enough to get into trouble apparently. lol
I have my phone plugged in and have adb up, and am in fastboot. It doesn't seem to recognize my phone. I type adb devices, it just says list of devices and doesn't list any.
It won't let me push anything to my phone. I'm probably doing something wrong.

I've tried all of this with no luck at all. Main version is 1.26.502.10...tried installing Nandroid backups that other posted and keep getting an error when extracting the zip. I've adb pushed ROMs to the sdcard multiple times. They load for installation, everthing seems to work, but once I reboot, it hangs on the HTC screen.
I too deleted the system files so I can't get back in the phone. Tried CWM and TWRP and tried over and over to get it to work with no luck.
Tried installing CleanROM, Stock, and one other...no dice.
Any ideas? I've been at this for two days now.

you have to lock your bootloader first is all.

go into recovery and try turning adb sideload on then off and see if adb recognizes your device after that.

2- Flashed crpalmers boot.img in flashgui
3- Phone was good for a solid day, then rebooted.
4- After reboot phone said a lot of the services are force closing and then rebooted into the white htc screen
5- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131284 and followed it to the T
6- phone is not being recognized in adb
7- went to flash the recovery but its waiting on device even though its in fastboot usb
Maybe im missing a driver or a step I am not sure about but hopefully that helps a bit more than posting little by little.

Might want to unplug from the net when installing them so it doesn't look for others which driver version you installing? EDIT: also if you have a otg cable then you can put the rom on a flash drive and flash it from that.

[Q] USB Drivers/Push ROM through ADB

Hello,
I'm a moron and accidentally formatted my SD card, now I can enter bootloader and recovery, but have no ROM's to flash. I can access ADB but when I search devices, it gives me a serial number type of value, then shows "recovery" next to it. I don't think it's actually seeing my device, therefore, I cannot send ROM's through ADB push command.
My question is, can anyone direct me to where I can find the correct drivers in order for ADB to see my device? Or is there any easier way of getting a ROM onto my SD card so I can flash a ROM?
Thank you all!

Try in adb in recovery
push locationofblah/blah.zip sdcard/downloads
Also what recovery ate you using and was the rom 4.1 or 4.2 since that determines whether you need to push to sdcard or sdcard/0/downloads.

[Q] phone won't boot

So I clearly screwed something up. Was running Viper 2.0.3 but went to reset/wipe and think i accidnetly formatted the sdcard then system also in CWM. Now i can't get anything to boot. I can get into CWM but am struggling to figure out how to flash something so a ROM will load. I'm clearly a newby with this. Pretty sure I have adb setup right,as it apprears to recognize the device with adb devices, but this was my first foray into adb so i'm struggling with this. Any help from the community would be more than appreciated, as I'm trying to set this up for my mother's first smart phone.

CMD wont Change to \Android

I just purchased the Sprint variant of the HTC One Max and decided to unlock the bootloader to root it. I followed the instructions up to the point where I have to have to run the fastboot command in CMD. The example shows the CMD changing its directory to \Android. When I try to do this, I'm given the error: "The system cannot find the path specified." I tried just doing fastboot command, but came back with "fastboot is not recognized..."
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Android SDK, Java Runtime, and HTC Sync are all installed and updated.
Thanks in advance!

This worked, but when I attempt to run the command for the fastboot I get an error saying "The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer."
Was this something that was supposed to be installed from one of the Android SDK installs?

It was in the sdk\platform-tools folder.
Does the command line have to be directed to the folder containing the fastboot application file? Inside said platform-tools folder is the fastboot file as well as the ApbWinApi.dll file.

Yep! Unlocked the bootloader successfully! Now, I'm trying to Root and the instructions I'm following are good, but I'm stuck again - It says to run CMD and use the command "adb devices." It comes back with nothing found, yet, according to the instructions my phone's serial number should be listed. I placed the Superuser.zip file in the phone's storage (per requisite) and tried to run the command with the phone on normally and again in the bootloader.
No luck... Suggestions?
Edit: USB Debugging wasn't on... Trying again...

If you are unlocked you can simply download a custom recovery for your phone into your fastboot directory and boot your phone to boot loader (fastboot) mode. Flash your recovery using your appropriate fastboot command. Then boot to your new custom recovery and flash the su.zip you copied to the phone from recovery.

Good deal. You may want to investigate s-off'ing that thing too while you still can. Just make sure you download the right version for your phone and run as admin

Would that solve my next problem? (I'm such a sputz)
I'm rooted, but I can't uninstall anything with Titanium Backup. The last time this happened on my S3 I was told to install SuperSU and install updated binaries. I did that, but when I reboot and go back into SuoerSU it acymts as if it never happened. Apps I uninstalled are still present, too.
Would S-offing solve this?
Edit: Also, I get an annoying pop-up when I start the phone up that says vDN client has failed. Even before I unlocked and rooted. Any way to stop this?

You need to flash an insecure boot.img to disable system write protection. S-off would allow you to recover your phone using both signed and unsigned ruu. The advantage of that is when you hose your phone and there's not a current ruu for the version your phone is on - s-on user would be screwed because you cannot downgrade. Just one of many reasons.
The fc problem I'm not sure. If you aren't using that app you can disable it in the stock app manager. Same goes for stuff you might normally remove with tibu. Be warned too that future otas will likely fail if system apps are missing.

i have noticed someelse posting about the vDN client failing.. it your providers bloatware if i remember correctly and i think @dottat has a good suggestion! disabled it
So I somehow lost root privileges... After S-offing, I was asked to update the SU binary through the Superuser app (not SuperSU) and I did so. When the install finished, I went into Titanium Backup and was told I'm not rooted.
Went back into Superuser and it didn't prompt for an update, but SuperSU did. Attempted and failed.
Went into recovery and tried to recover root - no luck.
HALP!

Make sure you aren't running both supersu and superuser. I prefer supersu

Huzzah! Thanks again! Hopefully I can actually freeze/remove system apps without them being brought back after a reboot. Also, in the picture provided, what is that icon in the notification bar just right of the GPS icon? And, is there any way to hide some of the icons?

Don't use Superuser by ChainsDD anymore.. Personally I would love to continue to use it but he is basically no longer supporting his Superuser app and binary and hasn't updated it in a very long time. SuperSU by Chainfire is constantly being updated therefore made to work with all current versions of Android.. Quite frankly it's all the same basically anyways I just liked the skull and cross bone look lol... Chainfire is a monster as well and has a ton of root related apps and cool things going on. ChainsDD I guess passed the torch on to Chainfire???

Also I have no idea what that icon is next to the GPS icon.. You must be on Sprint, I'm on Verizon and I don't think I've seen that icon before..
