[Solved] No Operating System, Bootloop, ADP devices blank - HTC Droid DNA

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.

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.

[SOLVED] help! phone won't boot into system or recovery!

SOLVED, see post #6
I have been trying out the various roms for Atrix
I tried the same zip of Neutrino EE 2.9 that I used to flash that rom before (since it worked great!) This time I also flashed the gtalk and sync addons. I did the usual wiping of everything.
Now the phone bootloops at the moto logo, and when I try to boot back into TWRP, I get stuck at the TWRP splash screen.
My computer isn't recognizing the device on fastboot either. DANG!
can someone help me out?

okay, I just found out that I can access adb in the state that recovery is in.
Is it possible to reflash either the rom or the recovery from a shell in here? or would that be "bootstrapping" since I'm already in recovery?
perhaps I can adb push a backup to /system?
of course the ./adb reboot bootloader doesn't work
I'm using a mac and I've had trouble getting fastboot to recognize my device in the past...I think last time I just borrowed someone's pc to do it.
You could use what's left of the recovery to flash a fresh recovery. The same one or a different one, doesn't matter. That might make the recovery work properly.
Can't test it right now, but I think the process would go something like this (recovery means on the phone, computer means on the computer):
Code:
[I]recovery>[/I] mount /sdcard
[I]computer>[/I] adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
[I]recovery>[/I] flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[I]recovery>[/I] umount /sdcard
[I]recovery>[/I] reboot recovery
Note once again that this is untested, it's straight from my head, so it might need adjustments.

thanks for the idea. I can't access any of the functions of the recovery. it's just a splash screen. ADB recognizes the device on my computer though. I can adb push files...I'm wondering if I can push something from a backup to my phone through adb. I guess I'd need to push the /system and /boot to it. I can't seem to get mmcblk0p12 to mount though...
edit: I didn't see the code you added.
I tried it and got this message:
error scanning partitionsfailed with error: -1
I can't seem to get any partitions to mount (ie mmcblk0p12 etc)
I'm nervous about totally borking recovery since it's my only access to the phone right now. I might have to borrow a pc to get fastboot to work.

Might be a good idea. Macs are clearly doomed on this.
(Yet another reason I dislike them. )
Internal partitions might be borked, that could be why you can't mount them. That's why I suggested you flash recovery via /sdcard (external sdcard). However, I agree trying to overwrite recovery in this unstable state is kinda risky. Functional fastboot would be much better.

SOLVED!!
First I found out that if I type fastboot -i 0x22b8 before every command, they worked fine.
then I stumbled across moto-fastboot, which is apparently a special fastboot for moto devices.
I used that to flash a new recovery the standard way and it worked out just fine.
Thanks so much for your help, ravilov!!
No problem, glad you have it up and running again.
And yeah... I thought you knew about moto-fastboot already, it's a pretty well known thing around here? :dunno:
Either way, now at least you have a working fastboot on your own computer.
Might want to change the thread title to "SOLVED".

[Q] Formatted, I think I broke it

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.

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.

ADB freezes my computer, can't flash ROM

So I made the terrible mistake of wiping my data / system partitions and internal SD without putting a ROM on the phone. I was trying to revert the phone to a stock build via the RUU utility (I need to flash the phone to another carrier and I can't do that without the stock phone app) but it failed so now I'm just stuck with a phone with nothing to boot into. I tried to run the RUU again but it freezes my whole computer after clicking "Upgrade" (there's some serious disk activity going on but nothing happens, unlike the first time when it proceeded after that.
I can't mount the internal SD on my computer as Windows 7 won't recognize it (a new disk shows up but I can't go into it). I've tried to use ADB sideload in TWRP but my computer hangs when I issue the command and I have to hard reset it. Trying to flash the zip via fastboot also requires a hard reset.
I am moonshine S-Offed and I'm using the latest TWRP recovery. I am pretty sure I have all the drivers installed (HTC Sync is installed and I also updated them with the drivers from PDaNet). Help?! I just want to get it back up and running, I'm just going to flash a non-RUU stock rooted ROM.

If you have a recovery you can just use a USB OTG cable, a thumbdrive with your rom images on it and install a rom from external SD.

You got lucky. The way it sounded in your original post was that even ADB was broken. By that point, if you have a working recovery, the only thing you CAN do is flash an image... and without an SDCard to pull out of the phone, you can only do it through USB OTG on the DNA.
So I'd still pick up a USB OTG cable in case you need it in the future.

I know. Way too lucky. ADB has always been a pain for me, even with my Rezound. I will definitely be buying an OTG cable or that OTG-like sd card plugin asap!
boot into recovery and push the file to the /sdcard
no need to mount anything just make sure it says adb device: **device_id##**
when you have twrp booted and plug it in to your pc it will act as if the system is already mounted if you type adb shell it will bring up the shell of the phones storage then exit and just adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip and its there...
You can use this tool kit to help you out. I have used it and its very simple. The creator did a wonderful job with it. Best of luck to you!

[Q] Buggerit!

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!

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

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

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)

So I tried starting cmd in administrator mode [never had to before]
- Didnt work
- Plugged into a different usb slot as lloir suggested, didnt get the "windows does not recognise this device" this time
restarted cmd as admin like Ghandour suggested.
Just managed to install the viperx+ 2.0.1 rom and i am now setting it up!
THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH GUYS [and gals if either of you are female]!
do you know why I had to start using cmd as an administrator?
