I very stupidly wiped my phone after changing from TWRP to CWM and had a problem. Now I've got no rom and my nandroids are all on twrp. I've tried installing adb to revert back to stock, but I can't get the adb exe. file to show, so I can't get into adb. I've tried everything and one all kinds of searches on how to get the exe file but no luck. Can anyone show me a link to how to get out of this predicament?

You should go back to stock and wipe everything off your sd card. Then try to root your phone again.

Try booting to the boot loader and try to factory reset and see if that works.

Hi, did not see a solution in any theads or posts for this and could really use some help. My phone is stuck in CWM Recovery v4.0.1.4. Every time I reboot the phone or battery pull it boots right back up into CWM Recovery.
Haven't been able to use my phone for a few hours. Please help any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Thats weird...Id say try reflashing the recovery and if that doesnt work then flash the RUU
Just installed TWRP Recovery and tried to flash a new ROM through that and when I rebooted it opened on the start as well.
I am really stuck
Perhaps the volume button is inadvertently stuck down. This would make you boot into recovery every time. I suggest examining the volume rocker or even the internal buttons to see if it is being touched by dirt or something.
Tried looking at the volume down button and no luck.
Could this have something to do with the PG86IMG.zip file on the root of the sd card.
I removed it and thats when this started happening.

The PG86IMG.zip will either be a recovery img or splash screen...can you mount and unmount your card from recovery? Try doing that and removing the PG86IMG

Finally fixed it last night thanks to scrosler and yourself
Heres the fix in case anyone runs into this down the road
Download ruu ZIP here: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=20
Reboot to hboot
relock the bootloader using this command "fastboot oem lock"
reboot to hboot again by pulling battery this time.
Go to recovery
Rename downloaded file to PG86IMG.zip
Mount USB storage and copy the file over
pull battery again
reboot to hboot and it will scan file and flash it.
Then unlock re-install recovery and you can go from there.
hi sorry if this is already out there been searching for 4 hours now i went to restore my rom from 4ext and it never went to the rom it just keep loading now i seen it say system is in safe mode and to format it did that and rebooted recovery now after a hour of trying i switched to cwm recovery and now it does the same i go into it and after i format or try to install the phone reboots and trys to load but no rom is on it to do that now idk if anyone can help but please if you can guide me around this problem thank you and this is my first post and first time ever stuck
Can't tell you the exact steps, but.... If you can copy a new ROM to the sd card, can you flash that in recovery? Or, you may have to go back and flash a stock RUU via hboot and re-root. Those are a couple of emergency steps I've had to do in the past.

also no matter what i do in recovery it just restarts by it self and starts over thats why i can flash any thing and i noticed if i do a full wipe it does not do system
Are you using format all except SD card in 4ext? Cwm will not format boot or system partitions.

I did do that in 4ext and soon as it started it would reboot then try to boot up finally had to use a ruu and start all over and it worked thanks for all the help and earlier when I tryed a ruu it would fail but finally worked

Hey
I've been trying for about 5 hours now with my mac (main computer) and a small netbook (windows) to fix my phone to no avail
Problem started when I tried to flash a rom and towards the rom finishing installation the phone froze and it all went downhill from there.
First the phone would do an endless boot loop and occasionaly it would go to a picture of a red triangle and red exclamation. Now it stays on CWM recovery and if I reboot, it goes to CWM again. Sometimes I get my mac to recognize the phone in CWM, otherwise it takes forever to get there. Any help would be phenomenal.
What phone, ROM, version of cwm.

ok did the rom flash ever finish successfully?
If not, flash again
if so,
restart to bootloader
open a terminal window on the mac and type fastboot erase cache.
reboot the phone.

you need to enter recovery and reflash the rom.
If you are in CWM Recovery, you can wipe cache from there. Look for the wipe option and afterwards go back to the install option and try to install the rom again. Hopefully you checked the MD5 checksum for the rom you downloaded.

reflash the rom the way you did it the first time.
if you're doing AHRD don't press the touch screen use the volume and power buttons to move through the menus
Why would you need to? I am assuming that you downloaded a rom, checked MD5, and then copied it over to your phone's internal SD Card. When you select install from within recovery, you need to scroll and select the file you want to flash. After selection, Aroma Installer will start and you simply follow the prompts.

I got the phone from a friend with 2 roms so I personally never put them there. In the process of messing up my phone I delete all the roms that were in the phone. when i go to "install zip from sdcard" there are 2 options : 0/ and clockworkmod/

How would I go about using the "install zip from sideload"?
Stay calm first. Its not too big. İnstall adb drivers on windows and plug your phone. Enter recovery. Mounts and storage. Usb connect. Then youll be connected to the pc. Copy new roms. And just try. İf its wont work, then try flashing kernel for your android version and phone. One of custom roms must be installed succesful.
Like the title says I factory reset my phone in TWRP recovery and now when I boot my phone it goes to a black screen.

the reason you cant find your back up is because all aosp 4.2.2 roms create the "sdcard0" file path for your data, instead of 4.1.x having just the "sdcard" directory. TWRP wont let you navigate back to the original directory, and flashing a stock rom or backup wont fix it. you either have to manually delete the folder on the computer or on a file manager on the phone (but a computer is recomended).
now what type of factory reset did you do? the regular option in TWRP wipes /data, /cache, and /dalvik. is that the one?
i went into twrp and hit "format data" and it told me to type yes and then it formatted everything ...so afterwards it says superuser is not installed then swipe to install it...after i go to reboot system and it says No operating system installed

yea man that format data button wipes EVERYTHING. that button should not be pressed when regularly flashing different roms. it says that because there is no operating system on your phone anymore. and there probably isnt a backup either, as im not sure what partitions that wipes in detail. can you reboot into recovery by holding down the volume down and power button until the lights flash about 10 times? see if you still have a recovery
yeah i can get back into recovery..i just dont know how to get phone to boot up...yeah i dont know why i decided to format the data..haha friggen idiot i am
should i just download stock rom and plug my phone into the computer and transfer the file over? if so do i just put it in data/media folder?

do you know how to use ADB and fastboot commands? or does your storage come up when you plug it into a computer? it probably doesnt. you will have to sideload a stock rom

you also need to make sure you have all the correct HTC drivers for the phone. if you could previously plug your phone in and navigate the internal storage, you should be fine.
1) download a plain, stock sense 4+ ROM and get it ready
2) boot the phone into recovery
3) plug the phone into the computer
4) launch the toolkit. you should see your device in the list at the top of the toolikit. if not hit option 20.Refresh toolkit. if it still doesnt show up, you might have bigger problems
5) select option 14 and follow the prompts
6) reboot the recovery
7) check and see if you can find the rom in TWRP and install
let me know. i'll be off XDA for an hour, in about 45 minutes. but if this doesnt work, pm your gmail address and get on hangouts
i dont think its locating my phone..i went to install drivers and it says access denied.
do i have to have the htc drivers installed for it to see my phone first?
Yes. Also adb and fastboot drivers, but I think they come loaded with that tool kit
