boot to recovery
then advanced sideload
then from your PC adb/fastboot folder open a command prompt and type
adb sideload rom.zip
be sure the rom is in the same folder as adb and rename it rom.zip (not rom.zip.zip)
if that gives you trouble try
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0
wait (around 3-5 min should do)
then in recovery choose install and the rom.zip should be in your sdcard
I see you need drivers in another one of your threads

windows 8.1 ?
i see in your screen shot other files don't have an extension .. that means you rom is actually rom.zip.zip

you see fastboot.exe ... no
you see adb.exe ...no
file extensions are hidden
rom.zip would just say rom like all your other files they have no .extension

The next step is making you a Ubuntu boot disc
fastboot and adb won't work on windows 8.1
or do you have another pc to work from

slow down, we can get you their but not fast
when you rename a file in windows 8.1 the file extension is already their
so insertcoin.zip looks like insertcoin - to change it you just change insertcoin to rom (the .zip comes for free)
But you have bigger problems adb devices is blank
see this thread on creating and using a ubuntu boot disc

what i have done was exract the fastboot folder again to my C drive. i put the rom in the folder in the C drive. im about to try to install the rom. i tried adb devices but it doesn't have a serial number showing. upon sending this message i am in the process...
update - it spews out all this text. and doesn't install the zip. i renamed the rom name to "rom"

[Q] I think I bricked my phone 1.5 HBOOT

Hi I am almost sure i bricked my phone, i can't make it pass the boot screen on any rom i try to put on the recovery. Yes, recovery is working, what i did to make it this state surprises me, I was trying to put Miuiu on my phone, i followed the instructions and downloaded the app called "Flash Image Gui" and well i did, the problem was that after i did, it asked me to install another app and that started giving me errors, i could not make calls just receive, and whenever someone texted me it would tell me than "The customer you are trying to text is temporarily out of service" ...after that i tryed changing to another rom and when i did it kept doing the same errors, not even data worked. well to get to the point i wanted to install miuiu and i did try. i openeed the app flash image gui and tryed to install the rom...after that it told me to boot, and thats the last thing i did before my endless boot screens for all 4 roms i have tried..i dont know what to do anymore. :/
if anybody could help me, i have been trying all day to make it at least show me the homescreen. but nothing passes the bootscreen. it just freezes there..
edit
i was also trying a RUU.exe stock...but i cant go to homescreen for it to be able to detect my phone :/
If you can still get into recovery, it can't be all bad! Have you tried flashing the super wipe script before flashing a ROM

Your not bricked lol Does your recovery still work? I don't use flash gui...
You might need to flash another recovery to your phone...
What were you using?
As long as you didn't mess around with radios or prl's you should be safe...
Snag another recovery flash it fastboot flash it and find another rom take a copy of the boot.img from it place it in your platform tools folder where adb is is...
Now wipe everything in recovery other then SD card and then
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then go into recovery and flash the rom you wanted....

If your on windows 7 you can just hold shift down right click on the folder adb is in and say open cmd prompt here ..... makes things easy
Where is ADB installed under? Mine is in the platform tools folder.
You open the rom on your computer take a copy of the boot.img
Place it in the folder where adb is... Hook your phone up with the usb cord to computer
Place the rom on you SD card
Then go into recovery and wipe everything like normal
type adb reboot bootloader
then when it says fastboot when your in Hboot type : fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once it's done go into your recovery and flash the rom..

[Q] My phone is stuck in boot. PLEASE HELP!!!

I was flashing MeanBean to the newest version 3.09 from 3.07 i was currently on. I cleaned delvik and cache hell I even did the system and it sits in boot. So after many reflashed of 3.09 i finally decided to flash a different rom all together. That rom stays in boot. I'm S-on btw. I dont know what to do. I'm disabled and live alone so I need my phone. Thank you guys very much in advanced.
Sounds like your TWRP may need to be upgraded to the latest. You will have to go to the teamwin website and update using fastboot since you can't boot into the rom. If you have a nandroid backup you should try to restore that first.

You just need to be able to get to the bootloader. So long as you have your PC/Linux set up with adb you can run the adb fastboot command and install the recovery then adb reboot.

Here's a zip of 2.4.1.0 I found from the TWRP thread in the Original Android Dev board. Can't find a zip of the latest. This one should serve you well though.
Rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place in the root folder of your SDCARD, then boot to bootloader.

First, make sure you renamed it properly.
Then, make sure you're putting it in your external SD card, not your internal. If you don't have an external, then just place it in /sdcard
You would be right!!!

When i bring up the bootloader it update twrp and when i select recovery, it reboots to a black screen. How do i pull out the file so it doesnt reinstall twrp every time. It wont open twrp so i can remove the zip. Could that zip file be bad?
Do i need to select clear storage in bootloader?
Does it take time for twrp to load? I dont remember my phone doing this on the last twrp install.
Just remove the SDCARD from the back and you won't have it try to install it every time.
It doesn't take long for TWRP to load really. After the installation, boot into the Recovery through the bootloader.
If he is s-on I didn't think he could flash a recovery through the bootloader.
Update your drivers and try to install the recovery through fastboot.
You didn't need to make a new thread in the wrong section for help as people were already helping you.

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

Does twrp run? You should still be able to install the Rom as long as your recovery program still works.

twrp is messed up he most likely formatted the system and the /sdcard (rom) it happens all the time
Yea I did the same thing the first time I rooted my one X lol I was scared my phone was ruined! To the OP relax your phone will be alright just follow instructions better in the future.

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.
download the 1.26.12 RUU that designgears posted in general

yes it would.
it works just fine
you have to lock your bootloader first is all.
the RUU is an unreleased leak, but yes it will install as long as your CID is CWS_001. An AT&T device.

[Q] HTC One X+ ROM problems

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.
Did you flash the insert coin boot.img?

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.

[Q] HTC Explorer stuck, tried almost everything !

HELP Please !
My htc explorer initially got stuck at the htc logo at boot and won't go any further.
I searched for solutions on xda and tried to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. Now the device gets stuck at cyanogenmod boot animation (was going on until half -an-hour ! )
Next i searched some more, caught TWRP recovery on a glance. Tried installing it, but my Laptop ( Win8.1 x64 ) doesnt recognize the device whatsover, even after installing the adb drivers and HTC SYNC. !
Now i finally installed FLYROM v4 refined, and the phone is stuck at htc 'quietly brilliant' logo . !
PLEASE get me out of this misery ! I want my little buddy back in action
Please .. Anybody ?
Nobody to help ?

what i mean is windows tool that can flash stock rom on your phone. if it has. you should use that and wipe everything
It's almost certainly an issue with a locked or semi-locked bootloader. If you are just HTC Dev unlocked on most HTCs, you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) via fastboot or when booted, with an app like Flashify. The reason you are having issues with getting it to connect is because Win 8.1 has issues with the HTC fastboot driver, especially on USB 3.0 ports on some makes of PCs. Grab another computer that has Win 7, if possible. Linux is an option as well, depending on how comfortable you are using it. But anyway, get to a PC that doesn't have Win 8+, get the HTC Sync program installed to get all of the drivers properly set up, then extract the boot.img from rom zip you last attempted to install and put it into the folder you extract from this https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit?usp=sharing . Open a CMD prompt and change directories to the adb+fastboot folder and then you'll want to be in bootloader mode and plugged in (make sure fastboot is selected and it should change to fastboot usb when recognized by PC) then copy and paste this without qoutes: "fastboot flash boot.img" and hit enter. This should send the kernel that you'll need to boot to the phone. Then just to be certain everything gets back in place, boot to recovery and factory reset and flash the rom again. Should be back up and running in no time.

Not true. Their tool is called RUU (Rom Update Utility). I'm assuming your phone is the Indian version from your location. If that is so, you'll find your download for the RUU here: http://www.4shared.com/mp3/JRRnTB2c/file.htm?cau2=s403 or http://uploaded.net/file/yan28lnl . They aren't the fastest downloads, but should work. Need to have more than 30% battery life, antivirus off, and drivers installed. Boot to bootloader / fastboot mode, then just double click the RUU exe and follow the instructions and accept all the terms. If the exe doesn't work, there are a couple of other ways to flash, but as long as your cord / drivers / PC are all working properly, you should be back to stock, if that's what you would rather do. This method could wipe internal storage if you have one.

They aren't the fastest downloads, but should work. Need to have more than 30% battery life, antivirus off, and drivers installed. Boot to bootloader / fastboot mode, then just double click the RUU exe and follow the instructions and accept all the terms. If the exe doesn't work, there are a couple of other ways to flash, but as long as your cord / drivers / PC are all working properly, you should be back to stock, if that's what you would rather do. This method could wipe internal storage if you have one.

I've done the adb command method and failed, now i've even performed updating it with RUU, but i have this result :
ERROR 155: unkown error
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and update your phone.

Hello, i followed the exact steps that you provided, but i got an error in the cmd saying :
"unknown partition 'boot,img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'boot.img' !
I'll try the RUU method now.

I'm so sorry! I left out something in that command! It's:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sorry, poor proofreading skills.
As far as the 155 error, I think you also might need to do this in bootloader / fastboot mode (if the previous command doesn't get you going with the rom you are already on - it should):
fastboot oem lock
Then re-run RUU.
Sorry guys, for a very late reply.
I tried all the methods you said, with the new command too, but alas ! The device didn't get a life.
I'm gonna use it as a very costly paperweight now !
