[Q] No Usb, No Rom, ClockworkMod Recovery

Here's the full story:
I flashed TWRP recovery, flashed MikVirgin.
Next I flashed Viperrom.
I flashed ClockworkMod Touch recovery.
I tried to flash MikVirgin again but it failed.
I did a backup the first time I flashed with TWRP.
So, with no rom, no usb, and only ClockworkMod recovery (which fails when trying to flash either of the two roms mentioned above), is there anyway to get a rom on my phone or flash twrp back to the phone? twrp is currently on my SD card
Hope you can help,
Ryan

download the same version of TWRP that you had and install the image through your hboot by taking that image and package it into a zip file and name that zip file PG86IMG.zip, copy to your sd card,boot to your hboot and let install from there and then reboot into that recovery and then restore...post back if you need help...
How can I get the Zip file to my SD card without being able to mount my SD to my computer? Unless you know a way to get CWM to allow me to mount. Right now it's giving me an error "Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)". I know I can get the adapter to directly plug the card into my laptop but is there another way? I have a Windows phone that I could put the SD card in to mount to it if that will work.

You could push the recovery through fastboot. I forget the exact command, I think it's fastboot recovery recovery.img. Find the twrp website and download the img file you need. The site also has directions on how to flash it without copying to sd card first.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

did I loose everything?

I was able to get s-off but ran into issues with my SD card afterwards. I flashed the RUU from android police but then it appeared I have lost root because I can't even access my bootloader to see if it's still unlocked. How do I check that? In case I am no longer rooted, would I have to start everything com scratch, like unlocking, rooting, s-off?
Pull your battery, then put it back in and hold down vol down and power. If you obtained s-off, the only way to get s-on again is to run a command in adb. You just need to download a flashable zip of amon ra recovery and rename to PH98IMG.zip and put it on root of sd card to flash in bootloader. or you can push it via adb. Then install su via recovery to regain root or install a Rom of your choice. Try reformatting your sd card in a pc if you keep having issues.

Thanks for saving me another headache after the one I went through after doing S-off. I really appreciate your responding to my post.

sdcard mount problem, recovery problem

fairly new to rooting, so sorry if the fix is simple (hoping it is). i have a evo 4g lte, rooted it, been having issues flashing cm10, so i would reflash a previously saved working rom, no problems. i have been using twrp for recovery. so i switched to cwmr (HUGE MISTAKE)to try and see if that would somehow fix why everytime i was flashing cm10 my phone would never load past the loading screen ( android in middle of revolving circle). basically my problem is, in recovery i cant mount ext-sd or the internal sd, i can "see" my saved backups, but cant flash them, when i try it says" no files found" i played with things for a while, somehow got some old downloaded cm10 version to work, so i atleast have a working phone, but cant mount my sdcard under storage which i need done to flash twrp back into my phone. ive been reading on how to use termianl emulator to mount sd card, but cant figuer that out, any help would be muchly appreciated, sorry for long description of my issue, i just want to be able to flash twrp, reboot into recovery and restore back to a previously working rom!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
also... cm update is constantly running, cant stop it, my pc doesnt recognize my phone, cant mount in recovery or in settings. tried copy and pasting the saved zip files using a root browser app to relocate them and trying to reboot into recovery and flashing them, that does work... please help!!!!
If you can get into terminal emulator, then just flash twrp using that. The directions are on their website.

too late, i kept playing around with everything in recovery mode, and apprently made things worse, now the phone will recognize my ext sd and not the internal sd, which is what u need to use terminal emulator to reflash twrp, any other suggestions???
You can update recovery image through fastboot or place the twrp update zip (rename PJ75IMG.zip) on external and boot to bootloader. As for internal being corrupt, boot into twrp and mount as USB storage and format through pc

ADB Tools Mini SDK
Extract this and then open the folder and hold shift+select and right click. In the menu select open command window here. Put your phone in fastboot and connect to pc. Type fastboot devices to make sure its connected. Then type fastboot flash recovery "filename.img" filename being what ever the name of the recovery file is. It should write recovery and then you can boot into twrp

so that's plugged into PC to do that right, shouldn't the phone say fastboot usb or something
Boot to bootloader and select fastboot, when you connect to the pc it should say fastboot usb

i guess you want to install some custom boot image without using fastboot.
if you rooted your device you can copy your boot.img file to your sdcard and flash it with the command
flash_image boot /path/to/your/boot.img
in terminal emulator (after becoming root with su)
please be careful, you could brick your device using false boot.img files.
have some backup of your old one at hand in case you want to undo your flashing.
you need a custom recovery to flash your boot backup in case your device doesnt boot any more.

[Q] Newb Needs Some Help....

So I just got my One a few days ago and decided to root, unlock my bootloader, and flash a new rom. I unlocked, rooted, flashed twrp recovery and before I flashed a new rom, i wiped and ended up removing the roms from storage. Now i have no os to boot up into. No way to transfer a rom to the phone because clockwork and twrp dont support usb storage, adb sideload keeps failing, and ruu's wont install...on stock 4.3 ota from att....plz help.....

I use a usb OTG in TWRP almost everyday
and if sideload is failing it's likely because you don't have the drivers installed properly
and so you know the unlock is what wiped the phone not TWRP (unless you choose advanced and selected to wipe the sdcard which no one does)
get you drivers working
to test from recovery on the phone and command on the PC do adb devices and make sure you device is listed.
then in twrp you choose advanced/adb sideload
Connect phone to PC
Open command line where you have the file of ROM assuming you have ADB in Path of system, if you have not just copy the ROM to same place you have ADB files.
Type:
adb devices
(verify you phone are detect)
adb sideload name_of_the_rom_file.zip
(Wait the file is transfered to phone and recovery flash)
