So I went today to update my ROM along with the TWRP boot loader. When I had TWRP installed I made the mistake of wiping everything. Including my back ups and all that.
Now I can't get a ROM onto my phone. I tried using TWRP and the Abd push but it never works. I been looking and reading for hours with no luck. I just tried it with Clockworkmod and same issue. My device is never being detected. I am able to flash to ether recovery just fine however. I'd very much appreciate help with this as I don't know what to try next.

Been following that since it sound like that user had the same issues as me. So far I'v had no luck though.
I am having almost the same problem as you, I have been trying numerous things but I have been getting closer, boot into recovery then do adb devices, your device should be there. It isn't much but its a start. If you make any progress let me know. Ill let you know if I figure something out.

Ok, so I went and unlocked my bootloader and was making good pace to root my device. Get into TWRP and it won't mount data or cache. So I then went and tried to follow a guide to rebuild the partition table and my laptop keeps giving adb device not found errors after a few commands and makes it impossible to follow that guide. I still have the stock OS installed and it boots into it just fine, but it won't install SuperSU or backup.
Using a MacBook Pro (10.8)
Newest SDK and tools
TWRP 2.5.0.0
SuperSU
I searched thru quite a few pages and havent found this issue with this specific phone yet. I will be away from the computer for the next 12 hours but after that should be ready to jump back in with you guys help.
EDIT SOLVED: It worked with the clockwork mod. I think the part that made it work was the fastboot being off honestly, all the other guides I saw didn't say anything about turning fastboot off from the power menu.
Thanks

I had this issue too and tried some of the fixes you mentioned with no luck, so I tried out the clockworkmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863) and had zero issues. Not sure what we were doing wrong, but my One is doing great with the latest Revolution Rom.

Hi everyone,
I have been frequenting XDA for quite a while. Hugely into android and custom roms and things of the sort, but have never had a real reason to post. I have either been lucky enough to be able to find what I need by searching, or figured it out myself. This time however, I am pretty stumped.
I did a fair amount of research before starting this, and am now seeing that I did not do quite enough. If I am in the wrong place please direct me to a better one.
Here is my issue:
I have an LG g2 that I recently picked up used. Phone has never been rooted or worked on...until now. Decided I would spend my weekend working on it. Successfully rooted, and installed TWRP. Decided to flash a rom, downloaded my rom as I have always done, put it on the sdcard, made a couple of nandroids, and flashed it. Everything seemed ok, booted back up, got the correct boot animation, but it bootlooped. No big deal Im thinking, go back into recovery and wipe a couple times. Still wont boot. Go back in and restore my nandroids, and they wont boot either.
So now I am worried. Try it a coulple more times, and somehow get it to reboot to the setup screen. Wont go past there. Do the trick to avoid it and cant get it to activate. Double check everything, power off, wipe, power back on and now it wont even load to there. I tried sideloading a different rom as well as what seems to be the stock software and nothing. Im lost, I need help. Any advice?

Sounds like you need to restock and start over. I'd give you links but how to do so varies by which version or carrier the phone is from.
Hello all,
Sorry to ask a "seemlingly" stupid question, but I'm having a very weird problem with my Nabi 2. It was working great until i decided to "re-hack" it. It had been rooted and Gapps installed, but I returned to stock for the OTA's last year. Now I want to go back to a rooted device.
Everything seemed to go well until the script pushed gapps to the already google friendly device. So, long story short, so many errors I decided to start over.
Using Nabilabs, I installed TWRP and installed the 1937 stock roms. Now here is where things go from bad to worse.
The system won't boot. I saw that there may be a TWRP version issue, so I used the TWRP from nabilabs (2.3.3.0) to make sure. At SOME point, not sure when or how, I lost all the mount points. I was able to get them back using TWRP 2.2.2.1but the Nabi is still soft bricked.
As of now, i am able to get any TWRP installed and can successfully restore any of the ROMS (1917 through 2127) but it won't boot. The NABI logo has no animation and it just sits there.
I have tried very permutation I can think of any nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?
Sorry for the long rambling.

Try this and also the link inside that link

I'm not sure if you should be starting with JB or ICS TWRP. You will have to figure that out. Just let TWRP do the rooting for you afterwards.
Awesome respone

Man, that worked perfect. Thanks so much. You rock.
Hello,
I tried flashing a custom ROM on my samsung galaxy S7 (by the way I've already done this successfully, although I clearly don't know as much as I should).
Firstly I was getting the Error 7 and "your device is ." I did fix that by deleting lines in the updater-script of the ROM. It seems that this has worked, but I couldn't get out of twrp to test it. At first I thought it was an error with my ROM, so I just tried loading the backup I'd made before, but I still couldn't get out of twrp. And there I am, I can't go in download mode, or even power off, it just puts me back in twrp.
I tried updating twrp from a .img but it just didn't work and I'm still in 3.3.1-0. Very strange.
I don't know much of the science behind this, please explain me, I don't want to brick my phone...
Thanks to anyone who tries to help.
Nevermind ?, I just did an adb reboot, got out of recovery, and my backup was applied so... I guess I won't install that custom ROM. I don't know why I had this problem, but I solved it anyway.
While trying to load a rom, I got a failed message, damn cat ran across the desk and it rebooted, I was to the point I should of flashed the overlay, did NOT make it that far. It boots up to the welcome screen, but I have no access to hit "start" as my touch screen is not working. Is it done for? I cant see it any longer in adb devices, so I cant continue where I left off. Linux cant see it at all. Windows knows its there. So it did not make a complete fash, it tried to reboot into stock i assume, looks stock. What can I do at this point? Any help would be great.

I got in. I can not enter fastbootd, and do not know where its saved. Can some one help me get my recovery back? I flashed a recovery backup, but it comes up witht he little dead andriod and no command error. I need to get to fastbootd. Any help would be wonderful.
If you can get into fastboot, isn't there a tool, LMSA rescue to bring back bricked device? wipes all data though.
Were you trying a custom ROM or stock? try booting to fastboot mode, power + vol-down, and fastboot flash the stock boot.img, can be found here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official/
hope this helps. I just got the phone yesterday, soft bricked trying to flash magisk, flashed stock boot and was back in business. I was not using any type of custom rom though.
I was able to find stock boot and recovery images, which allowed me to just start over. Here is an screen shot of what would happen when flashing any ROM.
That's two different attempts. With two different errors.
On a crazy note, I ordered and got in the exact same phone off eBay, has lineage os, magisk, twrp. Now from what I've read, twrp can't be used to install ROMs yet. I've actually tried it on the problem phone we are working on here, but can't swipe with it. The screen is not correctly responsive. Yet this eBay phone, works great... Not sure how he did it. Id love to figure this out, I can't let it beat me.
