As mentioned I stupidly wiped everything on my nexus 4 and now only have Team win recovery project left. No os. I tried to adb push, but it gave me a protocol failure and I saw a solution with fastboot, but I don't seem to have that either.
I have tried a lot of things I found on similar threads, but none worked for me. I don't have the knowledge to try anymore. Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much.
I'm not familiar with your phone. But can you flash it to stock using odin?

What is Odin? Sorry I know very little about this
So basically the problem is I have no rom on my phone so I cannot flash anything. I would need to get the files onto my phone.

How did you get TWRP on it without odin?
Odin is for Samsung, don't bother trying on your n4
Right now you need to sideload a ROM (+gapps usually)
Boot to recovery, choose sideload
Then use adb to sideload the ROM from your pc
Or you can always use fastboot to flash the ROM as well

Thanks I just tried sideload. And I get a protocol fault somewehere between 0 and 40% of de procces. I looked around but I cannot seem to get to recognize my phone with "adb fastboot" how exactly should I do that?
after trying every setting and driver sideload somehow worked. Thanks sooooo much:
You made me a happy man!

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I have been googling and reading for the past 2 hours trying to figure out how to fix this.
I have recovery v5.5.0.4.
I tried to flash the stock rom and it gives me error 7.
I then tried flashing a CM rom with the same error.
It apparently will not mount my external even when I select "mount external" so I have no access to my nandroid.
No ADB and no rom make for a very expensive paperweight
all help is VERY appreciated
Try mounting the internal? Also worst case scenario you can just Odin back to a stock rom too you know.
Good luck!

Wipe cache then you should be able to reboot system

I can access the internal which is where my two roms are located, but neither work. Do you flash the rom with odin the same way you flash a kernal?
Yeah man you just download the tar file and flash that sucker in Odin, quick fix for anything bad.

I feel like an idiot for being able to fix it so easily like that... Thank you for your help though.
I had some issues with various roms for unknown reasons, so I kept trying out new roms. Well the problem persisted, and as I was attempting to flash a new Rom, recovery just kind of failed. Whenever I attempt to enter recovery, a titled triangle with and exclamation mark and a droid figure pop up and I have to do a battery wipe. My phone still starts and runs, but I'm currently stuck on a problematic rom with no way of getting to recovery. I'm fairly new to all of this so I have no idea what's happening and I'm ultimately scared of attempting anything and messing up more. So any and all suggestions are beyond welcome.

Have you tried reinstalling CWM?? Or maybe using another recovery....
I had that to after updating to 236 first time had to install recovery couple times to get it to work.

Complication in my situation : I don't have a computer. I can get to one with the needed programs on it, but are you sure this will fix it?

So just install cwm multiple times..? Like install it, turn phone on, then install again if problem persists or isn't fixed immediately?
You're looking for some magical recipe that will 100% surely fix your phone. There isn't one. You will just have to play and be creative. You can report back here for more advice if needed.

Like what ravilov mentioned, its more of a trial and error process and not a 100% quick fix. Not having a computer will make things much more difficult.
I'm not looking for a magic easy route, (though it'd be nice if there was one), I'm just asking for literally any advice on the situation.
Use the android sdk 'fastboot' command to push recovery to the device via USB. This should solve your issue with a borked recovery partition.

Try ROM manager and install cwm with it free on market install it a few times it will work

Should I do Clockwork Mod Touch, or just cwm recovery?

No need for touch. If you ever damage your screen, touch recovery will make it impossible to use. Once you've flashed it with rom manager, you can download th3bill's recovery for Atrix and install over the top of it.

Thanks man, I got it all fixed yesterday and everything is running fine. Thanks for all your help
So I've tried researching this slight issue and I have seen a lot of different solutions but none of them apply to my particular problem. My phone works just fine when booted regularly and charges just fine. The only time I'm having an issue is if I boot into recovery. I just installed twrp 2.7.0.3 and tried to reboot in order to flash supersu. No dice. I've tried rebooting into fastboot and reflashing and I've tried the M8 toolkit. Reflashing works, but still won't boot to recovery and the toolkit just hangs trying to flash the file. I think that's where my issue lies. I waited 19 minutes and eventually closed the program and just rebooted. I'm thinking this caused an issue and corrupted my recovery but i figured reflashing would solve this.
I was wondering if someone could clarify this for me, in which i'll just sit tight and wait until an ruu releases and stick with stock sense. The phone works perfectly so I can deal for a little while. I was just hoping to move to the GPe rom and get xposed running on it.
Thanks yall. I'll keep searching until I have to go to work and if I find a solution before anyone responds I'll update this post so it can be locked.
I would make sure you adb files are up to date, and try flashing philz recovery instead.

Are you using philz instead? I flashed twrp and it's very buggy. Did you fastboot flash recovery etc...? How can I install philz over twrp?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One_M8
yeah im using philz, have been since it came out as i thought the same about twrp, tons of issues.
definitely 'fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img'
It'll apply itself right over your current recovery no problem :good:

Seems like every problem in here is when someone uses a toolkit. IMO it is easier just to use the commands. There is nothing wrong with twrp as most people including myself are using it flawlessly. Download fresh copy of twrp. Make sure you get .img file, not .zip. Boot your phone, plug in and type "adb reboot bootloader" it will reboot to fastboot, if not, you do not have newest adb drivers, get this fixed before moving on. once in bootloader type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" this will just reboot your boot loader and let you know fastboot is working. If not fix this. next move to your directory with twrp and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp***.img" should only take 5 seconds. next type fastboot reboot to make sure system is still booting. Then type "adb reboot recovery" and it should go to twrp. Make sure you are getting the UL_CA twrp and not the whl. whl is for sprint and will not work. let me know. UL_CA is not available on official site. search the xda forums for it.
I actually tried the commands first and couldn't get it that's why I tried the toolkit. That's actually what ended up working for me though, but at least I'm good to go! I should have updated this a few days ago but forgot lol this thread can be locked if a mod wants to. Thanks all

Easiest way is to install GooManager > Grant SuperUser access > Menu > Install OpenRecovery Script > Confirm > Wait for it to download & finish.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 > It's explained here, along with the other methods. Just click on the Get TWRP for Your Device box at the top right and put in HTC One, then make sure to pick the right one. The recoveries are different between manufacturers and the M7/M8, obviously.
Pretty hard to brick install recovery on these things.
I would suggest just using fastboot, fastest and safest method

That's my preferred way to do it too, but TWRP themselves have the app install as their preferred way on their site.
So does clockwork and 4ext but I prefer fastboot. Choice is for the user I guess

Indeed. Another reason to suggest the app as it is more friendly to the timid ones.
It really does pay to get familiar with both fastboot commands and adb though, if you plan to mod your phone. At least to make sure that the drivers are loaded in worst case scenarios.
As far as I understand it, CWM or TWRP run in temporary partitions and in the RAM, much like boot tools on a PC such as Pmagic.
I started off with CWM via Odin on the PC and have since managed everything from there. I tried out TWRP by using a flashable zip in CWM, rebooted the usual way via the gui, tried out TWRP, then flashed CWM back and everything is fine.
It seems to me there is no danger and you just flash it the way you would a custom firmware. Plus you can back up and restore your recovery using either CWM or TWRP. In my short experience with it so far, you don't need an app, just flash and be happy. But always remember to have a backup or the original zip in case you wish to go back.
And if somehow you do mess something up (I guess it happens sometimes), make sure you have the right md5 to reflash in Odin. Simple. Just never delete anything you could need again.
I'm on stock, non-rooted LCA43 with TWRP installed. I'd like to fastboot stock recovery, and relock boatload so I can sell this device and upgrade. Problem, I'm struggling to find stock recovery.
Anyone have it handy?
Thanks in advance!

Can't get them to work. Side load in TWRP won't recognize my watch. ADB works fine when booted into the OS, and fastboot recognizes the device. It would be so much simpler to just fastboot the files, then fight with TWRP and ABD. I have a copy of the OTA, not sure what files to pull from it to flash. I know that commands, just need the right files. Thanks though!
