WIndows not recognising my device after formatting "system" with TWRP - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently failed to deodex my stock rom on my Galaxy A3 (a300fu) and while i was formatting dalvik cache and cache with TWRP i saw "system" option so i formatted that too cause i was gonna reflash my stock rom anyway because the deodexing didn't work. So after that it failed to connect my phone to my PC. An error comes up saying "USB device not recognized".
Note:
I have failed to deodex my rom twice before and reflashed several times with no problems so that doesn't have anything to do with windows not recognizing my device. Its only after i formatted the "system" option with TWRP do i have "USB device not recognized" on windows.
Also, i can still access TWRP and download mode on my phone. (but what use it that when i cant connect my phone to my PC)
Can someone please resolve this issue for me? Thanks

[Q] SGS won't boot up

Hi everyone!
I had my SGS rooted and flashed with MIUI rom.
I wanted to change the rom so I entered the recovery mode (cwm) and wiped all data.
In addition, I entered the "mounts and storage" option and then accidentally clicked on ALL the format options which were there.. (among them, the system and SD)
Since then, I can't enter the recovery mode anymore, and the phone won't start up.
Download mode is accessible (combo)
Odin (in all its versions) doesn't find the device, and when connected to the PC, it beggins to look for the drivers but can't even recognise the device. The drivers were already installed before though.
I assume that my phone has no kernel, no system, no nothing.. am I right? Is there any solution?
THanks!!
Have you tried re-installing the drivers?

Phone stuck in Bootloop

Hi I have moto G 2015 osprey XT1541, its unlocked running cyanogenmod
I recently upgraded to CM 14 experienced problems instantly, all the google apps wpuld crash.
Reverted back to CM 12 which worked and it had an error whilst upgrading in recovery,
something like
E:Failed to map file
E:Error exit from the fuse process :0
Installation Failed Installation Aborted
I have tried multiple roms, all come back with same error message. The recovery on the phone is the cyanogenmod one. Also in recovery if I do system reset I get
E: Failed to mount /data (permission denied)
I am having to try installing roms via sdcard as the phone is not recognised by my computer.
Any Ideas?
I would format userdata in bootloader then install TWRP and use that to install the next rom.

How do I format userdata? I dont have that option in the bootloader. When I try to install anything using cyanogemod recovery including TWRP I get the same error message.
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
If that doesn't work then you'll want to go back to complete stock with the original firmware for your variant (and carrier if yours came from one originally).
The phone cannot connect to PC with USB for some reason. So I cant use fastboot. I know its not the cable/PC as it works with my tablet so must be the phone.
I have tried wiping data and factory reset in recovery and this does not solve the problem, still stuck in boot loop and recovery cannot flash any roms.

Check out the Device Manager (assuming you're using Windows...) and see if the driver is loading correctly. If not, you should be able to manually update the driver. This is the most common problem that would cause this. Even if the phone is borked, fastboot mode should work and the PC should be able to load the drivers. If that fails, try other ports on your PC or another PC altogether.
Uninstall all the Moto drivers, reboot, reinstall and look into RSD Lite if all else fails.

I doesn't even show in Device Manager, I have tried another system with Win 7 on and that comes up with a notification saying a unrecognised device has been attached. But it doesn't make a difference if you install the drivers or look in device manager, had exclamation mark next to device but you cant do anything. I also have Ubuntu dual loaded on this system and that doesn't recognise it either.

Help!!! My infinix note 3 x601 always boot to recovery

I have an Infinix Note 3 X601, updated to Android N, Rooted and Philz Touch 6. 59, 0 custom recovery installed. Problem began when I tried to factory reset it from within the settings, the phone rebooted to recovery to wipe the data, and since then it wont boot to system again, whenever i try to boot it to system, it will go to recovery. if i connect it to pc, the pc wont recognise it, the pc will show a message that the USB device is not recodnisd, and the phone will boot to recovery again.
i tried to reflash the stock firmware using sp flashtool and it always fails as the system will not recognise the phone, even though i have the required mtk drivers installed.
i tried to flash this https://androidhq254.blogspot.com.ng/2017/04/mad-aosp-n-711-for-infinix-note-3-x601.html and http://bbs.infinixmobility.com/thread-149453-3-1.html custom roms using the custom recovery, they all fail mid way.
i will appreciate any help i can get in reviving this phone. thanks in advance

thanks for the reply, could you elaborate on the "qpst tool" pls, i dont know much about it
qpst is a kind of software
that enable us to use a port in the phone to install firmware and others software when something like this happens...
some manufacturers like Samsung manufacture in such a way that this cannot be used,
depending upon your manufacturer and the processor(it mainly support snapdragon i think) you may get if you search in Google.

ADB problems, MTP issues [URGENT]

Hi all!
I have a problem with my mi6: at the moment the mi6 is empty, no os, only recovery.
When i try to flash a recovery goes well and i can reboot in the recovery as well but:
-When i try to transfer file via twrp mtp, the process won't end, and windows dosn't show any process.
-If i try to sideload anything, the process stops at 47% without any error.
-If i try to flash, i also get the invalid "sparse file format at header magi"
I have all the drivers installed (qualcomm, android, adb).
I've an exam soon, and i truly need the phone, wich are your suggestions?
Solved.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 stuck on boot logo and unable to flash stock rom

Hello, today I was trying to restart my phone after it was updating an app from the google play store for several hours and since then it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 logo. My phone is rooted and has TWRP installed.
I still can enter TWRP recovery mode but literally everything I can do there fails. I get the "unable to mount storage" message whenever I try to wipe or format something and it is showing 0MB for all partitions.
I tried flashing the stock firmware using adb sideload but I am still just getting unable to mount storage/cache/data messages after a second. I also tried flashing the .zip file through USB OTG cable but got the same result.
When I tried flashing the file with JOdin3 (Odin for Linux) I got this message: "A corrupted file was detected. In order to continue, you must select a valid Odin File" (Still got this message after I redownloaded the file)
If anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment.
Edit: Tried flashing with Heimdall and it somewhat worked but if I boot my phone now I get "fail to open recovery cause no such file or directory" error for a split second and then it reboots...
Please can anyone help me?
