I have a nandroid stock backup that I would like to restore to, however system restores but boot image is stuck at "Restoring boot image..." and goes back to the main CWM screen with reboot system now etc.
in dire need of assistance, can't get out of CWM recovery and when trying to adb the Prime now has an error exclamation mark on it. I have CWM 5.8.1.8

Did you make the backup in 5.8.1.8 or did you make it back in the old 5.5.0.4 version? If you made it back then, then you will not be able to restore boot as that version did not back it up in the first place.
If however you made the backup with your current version of CWM, then I am at a bit of a loss. I have had no issue whatsoever restoring any and/or all of my backups.
When you say that when trying to use ADB the Prime now has an error exclamation mark, please elaborate as to where you are seeing this exclamation mark. Is it in the terminal/command prompt?
I made the backup in the old 5.5.0.4 version. I'm using naked drivers which fixed the exclamation mark in pc's device manager however still can't push anything to Prime as adb reports "device not found"

He said in the post above yours that it was fixed. He should probably add that to the Thread title and also detail how he fixed it for other folks who find themselves in a similar situation.
Please I need help with similar situation. I'm using cw 5.5.0.4 n tried installing a Rom but doesn't go past ee pad screen. I don't see my back up. How do i use the USB while in recovery?

OK, we need to do a couple of things here. Number one can your computer see your device with ADB? If you are unfamiliar with using ADB read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427008 and then come back here.
If your comp can see your device, we can push a new ROM to your sdcard by making sure you have the ROM in your ADB directory on the computer, and then in a terminal/command prompt you will need to type "adb push *ROM.ZIP* /sdcard" replacing *ROM.ZIP* with the actual name of the ROM (also omit the *s) This will take a while but have patience and eventually you will have a message telling you that it completed successfully.
Now we need to get you a new CWM image onto your Prime. There are 2 methods you could use both detailed in my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576937
If you've followed all of this so far, then give yourself a pat on the back, you are no longer the noob that you were when you set out on this quest. We're almost done.
Reboot into CWM the usual way and wipe all partitions. Flash your ROM and it should flash everything including boot.
After verifying that you can get into a working OS, reboot into recovery and make a new backup immediately.
I wish you luck my friend.

ok i tried the new driver zip and it installed. its says asus android device and then samsung galaxy nxus.. does that mean its connected?
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.

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 but i plugged in a bunch of flash drives until one was recognized and then was able to restore my old ROM... WHEW
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
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

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.

Recovery is TWRP 4.1 I believe. I was using 4.2 previously (CM 10.1 Nightly) and was attempting to flash Gapps when I made my moronic decision. I'll attempt to push to sdcard/0/downloads this time - don't think I've tried that.

Sideload ftw! Thanks again for the help and the link. Much was learned!
Hello everyone,
I have been searching in vain for a while now to find a solution to my problem and I fear that I may have done something daft to my phone.
I am using a HTC One X+ that was unlocked, s-off and rooted for about a year, i had TWRP and stock android 4.1.1. For ages I have been getting an update alert saying a software update is ready and i think it was some Vodafone update (1.17.161.7). Whenever i accepted and tried to install this it would obviously reboot into TWRP and then the update would fail. This was fine until last night when I decided to install it through TWRP, it said it failed again and i rebooted to find that WiFi wouldnt turn on, my phone was no longer rooted or s-off and that I get no signal. I tried to re-root it but command prompt on the computer or HTC Sync wouldnt recognise my device however it was appearing as HTC One X+ in My Computer and i could access the internal storage.
I restarted into recovery and managed to flash a new root using twrp and the root file using the unlockr.com - how to root the htc one x
Then thinking it was a ROM issue i downloaded and installed InsertCoin Evolution ONE X+ 5.0-6 Sense 5 Android 4.2.2.
This all went through ok however when i reboot from this install it just sticks at the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. I wiped everything using twrp beforehand.
When i restart into bootloader, it says unlocked, S-On and HBOOT -1.30.0000
Not sure what else to do as now i have no ROM, i read that you have to partition the SD card for InsertCoin to work but the option to partition SD card isnt there in my TWRP (ver. 2.3.3.0)
Any help to even reset my phone back to basic stock everything would be amazing, i have a Titanium Backup of most of my stuff saved btw.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

No I just copied the whole zip file to the SD card section and installed it from there - ive encountered a new problem now in the fact that my computer no longer can recognise the phone via USB - it still appears in device manager but cant access the sd card and the sd card got wiped by twrp so now i dont have any way of getting things onto the phone that i know of. It just says - failed to open usb master mode in the bootloader. How could i get the computer to recognise the phone again so i can transfer it back onto it and try installing insertcoin again? Really hoping i havent managed to make my phone useless as ive had to dig out the old Nokia 6230 from the drawer haha!
Thanks.
EDIT - Now seen the instruction to flash the boot.img - what a fool i am. Now i need to get it recognised by USB again so i can transfer the zip file to it and go again.

Without a rom installed you're not able to acces the internal memory of your phone directly. You have to use "adb sideload" command to transfer a rom onto your phone. Look in the General and/or Q&A forum of this device, there are enough guides or topics on how to solve this "problem".

Hi use this link..may be useful (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390) by the way reaper90 is right you need to sideload the rom..
In TWRP:
1-wipe everything
2-goto advance in twrp
3-select sideload
4-navigate to the folder where you have adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll and fastboot.exe. and make sure to keep the rom and its image; bootimg there.
5-then in command prompt write (adb sideload *name of the rom*.zip) make sure the name is a letter.
6- also make sure to keep the screen alive and not let it goto sleep while adb sideload is working.
7- rom will start setup once sideload is 100%.
Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Hi, thanks very much for the responses - its much appreciated.
Nothing happens when i type that command, a load of text appears in cmd prompt showing all the adb commands and thats it, i have searched for this problem and found this on twrp website as a possible solution "You will need version 1.0.29 or higher. You can find your current version by typing "adb version" at the command line" My version says 1.0.26 I have tried to update this but cant seem to find a way to do it, would that be an issue?
I think once ive managed to sideload the zip i should be good to go its just getting to that point that seems to be stumping me at the moment.

Dont sweat it. They understood you wrong.
Guys what he wants to do is copy the file FROM the SDCARD TO the PC.
First you will need to know where the location of your rom then type in the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
If you device is not detected then try to run the CMD as an administrator and try again
then:
Code:
adb pull {location without the curly brackets}
For example if its on the SDCard then:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/rom.zip
It will paste the file to the folder where the adb is found
Then just open the zip file and get out the boot.img and flash it using fastboot
Hope this helps you out.

Hey, thanks.
No they got me correctly, there is absolutely nothing on my phone at all and I need to get my new ROM zip file from the PC to the phone so that I can install it. I am currently downloading SDK manager to try and update my adb to 1.0.29 or higher and will see if that works.

Ok, i downloaded the hasoon toolkit and select ADB Sideload a ROM and it says "error device not found" in the command prompt. I am in ADB Sideload mode in TWRP with it plugged in via USB so dont know what to try next.

Lol.. Well, as i said try to run the Toolkit/cmd as administrator and try different usb ports.. It took me 5 minutes on windows 8 for the adb to properly read the device , had to try different usb ports, unplug , replug, and so on..

Right ive manged to download the latest sdk and then after much unplugging and plugging and right clicking things in device manager its recognised my phone enough to sideload and install the ROM. I have also managed to fastboot the boot.img file as well after 3 attempts but it finally worked so i have a phone back again!! Thanks everyone here!!! Now to upload my titanium backup of apps, sadly i think ive lost all my photos thou
But thanks again to all. Sorry if ive been a bit noob but its been a good learning curve for me as i never had these issues with my HTC desire
