So I should not be doing this on so little sleep, obviously. I have a Verizon HTC Droid DNA, Moonshine S-off, TWRP, and I had CarbonROM on it, but I was having issues so after some fumbling around and trying different things, I was at a loss. So I wiped all data and formatted. Well, before this, for some damn reason, I think I turned USB Debug off. Now I can't get into Fastboot USB. Am I totally screwed? My PC won't communicate with the phone.
HELP!
Actually its difficult to be "totally screwed" you can always hold the power + volume down until the phone boots into HBoot. Once your in HBoot again fastboot should work if it doesn't then that generally a driver issue. Once your back in HBoot you can select fastboot and that will give you the option to boot back into recovery. Once you get into recovery again I would select sideload and flash the ROM using "adb sideload <rom name>" making sure your in the adb directory and so is the ROM. Hope this helps.
Yeah, I can still get into fastboot (just not fastboot usb) and recovery, but my PC and phone aren't talking when they were before I started screwing around.

PC driver issue, go into device manager and load new driver
I'll take a look

Yeah, I'm not even getting the Windows sound like I connected anything. Usually it'll tell you no drivers or unsuccessful installation or something!
Holy crap... well you were right... it was a driver issue. I reinstalled the HTC drivers and I got FASTBOOT USB now... thank goodness!
I feel like my brain isn't working. How do I now get my .zip on my device using fastboot so I can then get into recovery and flash it?
Nevermind... booted to recovery, used adb to push my .zip to device
Glad you got it figured out.
It's always fun to watch people talk to themselves. :laugh:
I think I did the exact as you. Tried to get fancy with things too early in the morning and ended up formatting data. I was wondering how you pushed the zip for the ROM onto your device using adb? I can get adb to discover my device as long as its in recovery but I'm not sure of the commands it takes to push a file like that onto your sdcard in order to reflash it in recovery.
Any help greatly appreciated.

First, make sure your .zip is in the same folder as your adb. Then in your cmd window, (assuming you're in the correct directory) type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends.
And yes, I know first hand how amusing it is, and somewhat gratifying watching someone figure it out on their own. I could not, however, have done it without you guys. I assumed since my phone was communicating not 10 minutes earlier with my PC, it wasn't a driver issue. But in the end, that's exactly what it was.

I also have a OTG cable but i tried to plug in a 16GB FAT32 flash drive but twrp didnt recognize it. it says unable to mount
Thanks a bunch
Adb commands are done with the phone booted into recovery. Fastboot commands are done with the phone booted to, well, Fastboot.

Good evening Ladies & Gents.
Firstly can I say, this site has been my bible, and I am so very very grateful for all the work that everyone has put in to making this site what it is.
Now down to business.
I have an HOX+ and have been flashing for about a year now but still consider myself to be a complete nub! first with hox then i broke it and now hox+. Im in a bit of a predicament.
I flashed a version of aosp 4.4 onto the phone, installed from the zip file, cleared the cache, user data and dalvik.
rebooted, and got stuck in a boot loop.
So i went to my backup and restored from there...
boot loop again.
So i went back into bootloader, then fastboot, and reflashed the viper+ 2.0.1 that I had on before.
But when I got stuck on sending boot
Now im stuck in a boot loop, none of my backups will restore properly.
I fear I am hardbricked as I cant get anything to work...
Any help before I have to be back at work tomorrow would be very helpful! and even more appreciated!
Yours
A very frustrated and stressed British nub
Sorry, also, I have checked through xda and I cant seem to find anything that would explain why I am stuck!

Well the bootlooping has something to do with not flashing the boot.img stated by yourself and lloir. About that bug of "Sending boot.img", it happens to me but I fix it by running CMD as administrator , If that doesnt work, try using a different usb port. Preferably one directly to pc/laptop rather than using a hub. Try a 3.0usb port first, if that doesnt work then 2.0usb port.
P.S Without S-Off you can't become hardbricked. Till now I didn't see a single person who bricked their HOX+ unless he received an S-Off developer phone..

I have the zip on the internal storage as i dont have "sd/ext" or what ever the extention is. When I bought the phone I never had the sd card. Never was able to save anything onto an sd card.
so should i try installing from the zip? even though the fastboot commands arent working?
or would a sideload skip the fastboot commands?
or am i just being completely retarded
Edt - just tried the sideload using the cmd, and i had error: device not found
so windows isnt recognising my phone...it was working this morning

HTC sync uninstalled ?
you have killed adb (if on windows just kick open taskman and kill adb)
or in cmd\terminal adb kill-server
then do adb devices
reboot pc?
try a different usb cable (maybe the one from your charger if you are not using that one)
*edit the above is assuming you are in recovery
IF NOT in recovery, but fastboot_usb mode
then fastboot devices (but you cannot do jack apart from flash boot image)
IF in recovery, you got a few choices
wait 5-10minutes (don't ask, it's a common issue with the X+ and CWM\TWRP)
put the device in adb sideload for a minute or so (^ see above reason)
i have adb issues in CWM\TWRP myself, especially when i have no rom and so on, so i know your frustration, patience young padwan
looking good so far

This is only for droid dna from Verizon.
It’s an easy step by step guide to bring your droid dna rom back if you did the same stupid thing I did… ERASED THE SYSTEM DATA FROM THE RECOVERY!!! on twrp or clock mode recovery, and you end up with no rom to use your phone.
Now this solution is based in my personal experience of 3 days without my droid dna, and I have perform successfully the exact same proses several times trying to wipe out completely the phone.
THE CELLPHONE MOST HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED PREVIOUSLY
All this was done on a laptop running windows XP.
All the programs you need to accomplish this will be provided at the end… read first.
First you need twrp for droid dna
If pc won’t communicate with your droid dna, you will need this… PdaNetA4126
Also the DNAToolkitSetupV1.0.5
And a rom less than 1 GB, it has to be a single zip rom not the new rooms that are spited in gapps and rom. I will upload a rom that looks like the htc one.
Ok let’s get started
*If your pc won’t connect with the cellphone you first need install the PdaNetA4126 on your pc, after that connect your droid dna to the pc and you will be able to see your droid dna in device manager.
*This step is only if you don’t have trwp as recovery method …Now unzip the Droid_DNA_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1 and run it, click flash recovery, wait for it to finish.
*Unplug the usb cable and now unzip and install DNAToolkitSetupV1.0.5, once it finish reconnect the usb cable and run the DNAToolkitSetupV1.0.5, enter 20 to refresh, in the upper left hand corner should be listed you device under adb mode.
*Before typing 14 to sideload you need to copy the rom zip you downloaded and paste it in the folder named stillthisguy in your programs folder, inside that one you will find another folder named sideload, put the rom zip in there.
*Go to sideload on twrp while your droid dna is connected to your pc, go to advance then sideload.
*Type 14 in DNAToolkitSetupV1.0.5 then enter, it will show the zip to sideload, type in the name exactly as it shows there including the .zip example: droidnaone.zip
*Enter and wait for DNAToolkitSetupV1.0.5 to sideload the zip to your droid dna.
If all worked fine it will automatically initiate the install, reboot and wait.
If you keep the rom I uploaded, uninstall the camera.apk and download camera ics from blackmarket, choose the one with blue lens, that one does not have ads.

3. DNAToolkitSetupV1.0.5 you can get it from here

hmm thanks?

If you can get to bootloader put it in fastboot open a command window and type fastboot erase cache. Then try to boot to recovery.

1. like a dumb ass I erased my data and whole phone in recovery.
2. Tried to sideload a rom with the new TWRP beta! EPIC FAIL not happening.
3. Reached into my little container of usb sticks and grabbed the smallest one I could find the black one not the blue one. (I only have 2) LMAO
4. Insert stick into the pc and load the rom I would like to install.
5. remove stick after loading and insert it into my trusty lil $2 USB OTG adapter.
6. insert the married usb and otg adapter into phone and flash the rom you loaded onto the stick.
7. BAM!!!!!! Once again a happy DNA owner!

did you leave a step out? . but how did you flash a rom from usb storage? i keep a nandroid on internal storage, then i have all my roms backed up on my OTG sd cards, so i can move them to the phone storage to flash if need be. i have not seen the ability to flash directly from USB. i am on twrp .6 beta. i looked and either overlooked it, or you left out a step lol
I've installed plenty of ROMs in the past but this time I was never able to get adb to show my device after I wiped my phone clean (fastboot did show it though) so I had to use fastboot to flash the oldest hboot & radio and RUU back to stock, then upgrade, root (S-OFF persisted even after RUU) and then do a 'normal' wipe and install a custom ROM.
Oddly enough, adb showed my device again after the RUU to stock. Didn't touch the windows drivers.

Whenever you flash, backup, or restore, you should see a button that says "internal storage." It's not super obvious that it's a button, but if you click it you should see an option to user your USB storage.

OK..... Evidently it was the particular card reader I was using. Tried it with my Meenova and it worked fine. That's very odd bc the other card reader is the one I use primarily on my dna , it works fine when the rom is running??? Any how that's great to know and something I wish I could do ! Thanks Jamie !!
I accidentally (and stupidly) wiped my OS on my DNA. I'm stuck in a bootloop and when I type adb devices it says:
List of devices attached:
(blank)
However, when I am in fastboot and type fastboot devices, it says the serial number of my phone.
Does anyone know of any way for me to get an operating system back installed? I have access to TWRP v2.6.3.0.
I scoured XDA for the past 4 hours looking for anything resembling my situation and found nothing. I tried different approaches that were listed that somewhat fit my situation, but to no avail.
Anyone? Please? I'm pretty literate when it comes to these phones, I just haven't ever come across stupidly wiping everything on my phone, including the OS.
It just freezes at the HTC screen and I don't know how to flash any ROM (or anything at this point) using fastboot.

Do you have adb access in recovery? If not, try to download a .IMG file for the latest twrp and flash that with fastboot and then try again to get adb in recovery.

I had the latest TWRP and it wasn't working. I then switched to CWM (via fastboot flash) and it still wouldn't recognize.
I previously had the ViperDNA rom installed and I think once everything was wiped (OS included), my computer no longer recognized my cellphone.
Is there any other way to recover my device / OS? Possibly only using fastboot?

Do you have a USB otg cable and a thumb drive? That's another easy way to get a ROM into recovery. If not, the next easiest thing (other than going and buying one or finding someone that you can borrow one from) would be to find a guide to ruu back to stock (make sure you do not screw up locking the bootloader!) and then start over with rooting / unlocking.

If not, the next easiest thing (other than going and buying one or finding someone that you can borrow one from) would be to find a guide to ruu back to stock (make sure you do not screw up locking the bootloader!) and then start over with rooting / unlocking.

I do have a thumbdrive but not a USB otg cable (I can go buy one)
So if I'm accessing it through twrp, is there a particular folder which will allow me access to the thumb drive?
Also, would I be good simply flashing a Rom.zip and have everything re-installed?
Thanks so much for your replies, I really REALLY appreciate it!
Also, I don't think my phone is USB Debugging activated, if I need to activate it is there a way to do it if everything on my phone has been wiped and I have no immediate access to activating the option?

No problem.
I don't use twrp but I would imagine it is fairly obvious how to select the usb-otg drive. If not, try cwr. I know that used to work and was fairly obvious (but I forget the exact details).
There isn't any way to enable USB debugging in recovery but flashing a working ROM should get you back in business.

So I don't need USB debugging activated in order to flash a rom from a USB otg drive, correct?
Thanks again bud, you've talked me off the ledge.

You shouldn't. Usb storage is just storage.

The USB OTG is a GODSEND.
As are you, crpalmer, thank you so much for all the help!!
bhinderoid, did you fix it? Another option is ADB sideload. I've been in the same position as you and it is awful.
here is another thread that mentions the steps and issues.

My international HTC One X+ is now bricked. I've flashed different roms on it without any problems, so this time I was headstrong and flashed a new rom with no back ups available at all...
I flashed it and accidentally erased everything... so now I don't have any OS installed on the phone. The HBOOT is 1.72.0000 so all of the RUUs that I've tried don't work because apparently it they only work on if the HBOOT is 1.35 or less...
Computer doesn't show me the phone's internal storage when I plug it in so I can't put any OS on the internal storage to flash it (it does go into recovery, I have TWRP recovery).
ADB Sideload doesn't seem to work... ADB doesn't see my device (though fastboot does see it... I can flash boot and recovery as many times as I want) but I can't manage to flash a rom to my phone... fastboot says "FAILED: (remote: not allowed)"
I've tried the commands " fastboot flash rom rom.zip" and "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" and they both fail after taking about 2 minutes.
And this phone doesn't have SD Card... I've tried using an adapter cable to connect my external memory disk (for my PC) to my phone but the phone simply doesn't read it...
I would like to try to downgrade my HBOOT firmware to 1.35 so I could get the RUU to work... or if there is a better solution I would be glad to try.
Please, help me here... thank you
you know TWRP has MTP support now....Sooo you can just drag the file from pc to the internal directory of the phone....
Yeah, I've noticed that, but for some reason my computer doesn't see the phone... it did once but then it stopped for some reason.

Adb also works in TWRP, it's just super slow. Rule of thumb. Once you see the battery % with a + at the end, adb will work as should sideload. Yes It's a pain in the ass, I know. I have to do this really often while building CM.

Wow! Thanks for developing :good:
Well, I got my problem fixed... my drivers on my PC were out of date or something... they weren't working properly. I got them updated and MTP started working! Now I got my phone flashed. Thank you!
