I have a ZenFone 5 running Android 5.0 and I was fiddling with TWRP when I deleted the whole OS/partitions/etc
Now, I can flash into stock recovery but I cannot seem to be able to flash the firmware.
It keeps giving me the error -- * failed to read command: No error
Please help!

This is the first time I tried to install a custom rom. Please be gentle.
Device: Huawei Y300 (Bootloader unlocked and rooted)
TWRP Version: 2.5.0.1
Custom rom: cm-11-20140510-NIGHTLY-u8833.zip (found here)
I mindlessly tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 (kitkat) on my Huawei Y300. Here was the last steps I did:
copied rom and gapps zip files on phone root
restarted phone in fastboot mode
on ADB, ran
Code:
fastboot flash boot path\to\boot.img
(everything seem to be working fine)
ran
Code:
fastboot reboot
(phone rebooted in TWRP)
Tried to install cm-11-20140510-NIGHTLY-u8833.zip rom file (installation failed)
From what I read, the version of my twrp is not compatible with kitkat? Now i believe I bricked my phone because I forgot to create a backup of the stock rom.
Questions:
Is the stock rom still somehow there, hiding in my phone memory?
Is it possible to "undo"
Code:
fastboot flash boot path\to\boot.img
so that the "original" boot.img is used by my phone when I try to reboot it?
I am currently downloading Android SDK with a plan to upgrade my twrp for kitkat compatibility. I hope this will let me install cyanogenmod kitkat on my huawei. But I am not sure if I will succeed. If I still fail, can you guys tell me what other options I have to save my phone?
Thanks
Edit: problem solved.
I learned how to properly flash/upgrade twrp via fastboot.. Retried installing rom with twrp 2.7 and it was successful.
So I did a stupid, installed stock rom via TWRP and then installed the OTA. Now my phone will only boot into TWRP, I've tried recovering my LineageOS backup and wiping all and installing stock rom again but nothing boots past TWRP.
I have the UK model and can't find stock nougat to flash with fastboot commands, can anybody help?
Edit - I just flashed 7.0 RETMX and it seems to work fine, this can be deleted.
Hello folks!
I have a problem. I installed LineageOS onto my device, to get off of EMUI and all the bloatware. Afterwards I wanted to get root access. So I downloaded the version of TWRP, 3.2.1-0, and flashed it through fastboot-mode. I was really happy, when TWRP finally booted, but now my system seems to be bricked. I cannot boot into my system and if I try to wipe my data I always get the error message:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument)[/COLOR]
I also tried to recover through eRecovery, but when the system tried to get the info package from the server I just get an error and it cancels.
I really hope someone can help me!

Did you flash LineageOS with fastboot and booted to it before trying to root?
If not, flash back stock recovery and do a factory reset from there.

Hi guys,
My bad that I kind of bricked my A50S . I was trying to install TWRP, which I did and I am able to open TWRP. Then when trying to install the Lineage OS 17 Unofficial, TWRP confirmed that installation was successful however, I ended up with no OS. I tried downloading the Stock firmware and flashing via ODIN, but it's stuck at pit_flash_binary - Unsupported Version. Can anybody please help?
