[Q] Copy files to the device on twrp?

I installed a rom which had a bad install so i was stuck in a boot loop, And no matter what I try i always get the boot loop, Im able to boot into twrp but going to mount im unable to see it on my windows 7 laptop? I have no idea how to push files to the device with adb as im what you'd call a slow learner lol.
Any ideas would be much apreciated.

I'm in the same boat, I didn't install any custom roms but have twrp and this morning a system update was available and I said yes, it went into twrp and did nothing, I recovered and nothing, it'll only go into twrp and nowhere else. HELP!

Did you guys look here?

Thats an easy one compared to me lol. go to advanced, terminal command and type in the following minus the brackets (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota)

My problem isnt anything like the bootloop, Ive done a full wipe and now have nothing on my phone to install, adb sideload isnt working for me for some reason as its coming up as adb is not a recognised command? I feel screwed?
EDIT: I may have solved my problem, currently pushing a rom onto the phone with adb sideload

[Q] Cannot mount anything in TWRP, sdcard folder empty

Hi All
I am in the process of flashing Cyanogenmod 11 onto my TF300T however I am in a world of hurt. First I updated to the latest TWRP (2.6.3 -4.2). When i boot up into TWRP it is asking me for a password which I do not know. If I press Cancel i cannot see any contents of /sdcard. Also if I insert a microSD card, again cannot see any contents. TWRP is telling me there is no operating system installed and if i reboot it just comes straight back into TWRP.
I apologise if this question has already been asked but I just cant figure this one out.

What bootloader version do you have? What helped me was to reboot into the boot loader (using volume down+power, has three options RCK, cold-boot linux, Wipe data [dont ever ever ever wipe data]) and select cold-boot linux (the android guy in the middle) and it would boot back into my ROM. If you cant get in that way, you are going to have to use ADB on your computer and use the "adb reboot-fastboot" command. If you get in, back up your files, because you're at the event horizon of losing all your data. If your bootloader is 10.6.1.8 youre going to need to flash the latest asus stock firmware from their website.

I am using bootloader 10.6.1.3. When I cold boot linux it just continually boots up into TWRP.
Whenever I try to run an ADB command i get "error: device not found". I have installed the android SDK, tried to install the USB drivers but no luck (possible windows 8 issue?).
It doesnt matter if I lose all data on it, i dont keep anything really important on it.
I have rolled back to 2.5.0 TWRP and it still asks me for a password.

I've switched over to my Mac now and have been able to push the CM-11 ROM into the sdcard directory. However when I attempt to flash it, it fails immediately with the log saying.
E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'

I had something similar, tried many things but nothing worked so i ended up flashing stock ROM again with fastboot.
If you need help on how to do that just let me know.

Ok this morning I have tried the following:
1. Flashed Scanno's TWRP from the OMNI thread using this command:
> fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
2. Booted up into TWRP, again /sdcard is empty.
3. Pushed the OMNI ROM onto /sdcard using:
> adb push omni-4.4.2-20131218-tf300t-HOMEMADE.zip /sdcard/
4. Went to Install and selected the zip then it immediately fails saying:
Unable to mount '/system'
Am I missing something here? From above i see that i flash 'recovery'. Do I need to flash 'system' with fastboot?

no, but maybe your PITs are corrupt. do you still have an older nandroid backup you could try to restore first?
oh just read that twrp asks for password. is that still the case?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yep it's still asking me for a password.
What are PITs?
I'm not sure if I have a backup. When in TWRP if I go to restore it can't find any. It's like the whole tablet is wiped. Does this have something to do with not having the ability to mount anything?

HELP
So I just tried getting cm11 on my tf300t, i installed TWRP 2.5 and rooted my device, everything went well. I then did a factory reset and wiped cashe. I tried installing then cm11 zip file with no success. I get the message that it failed. And now im on a device with no ROM to boot into and no working ROM to flash on the device.
Since there is a SD card slot on the device, would it be possible to put another ROM on there and then flashing that?
Please help me!

in order to install CM11, you need a special TWRP modded for KK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48508679&postcount=7
You can copy a CM11 nightly and the TWRP onto a SD card and flash from there, or use fastboot.

Hello, i have a similar problem, i wanted to install CM11 on my TF300T, i downloaded the latest version of TWRP from their site for the tablet, installed via Fastboot and everything seems to be ok, when i try to flash it (via CM OTA) it ask me for the password and it didn´t mount any data, but when i reboot the tablet it just keep loading twrp and i can't get to fastboot nor adb nor APX, so i have no idea on how to restore or boot back to the OS, or i just bricked the device?

When you restart you tablet, and hold the vol down key while rebooting it will give you a bootloader number: 10.6.x.x.x

that's the point, it doesn't do anything, is like i'm not holding or pressing it, it just show the ASUS Logo screen and in the top left it says that the bootloader is unlocked as usual, i don't think is a wardware problem because it was working the last time it booted on Android

D801 (Tmobile) Stuck in TWRP - No OS Boot

This isn't my phone. It was just running the stock OS with root. I think what happened is that an update from tmobile was released, and got installed, which corrupted the ROM/OS. The only backup it has is a couple of months old. I've tried wiping data/system/caches and factory resets which did not work. I've also tried restoring from the backup; just system, then both data and system, and no results.
Currently it has no ROM on it that I can install.
No matter what I do it always reboots back to TWRP. It has TWRP 2.6.3.2
I've tried to mount the SD card from the Mount menu so I can push a ROM to it, which doesn't work.
I've tried using ADB sideload but it doesn't seem to start, and I'm not able to see the device from command line with 'adb devices'
I've tried using the LG PC Suite, but it also cannot detect the device.
Please help, thanks!

you said you see no adb devices, this usually means the adb drivers are not installed. no adb drivers = no sideload. also make sure you are in twrp when you are trying to use adb. also i'd recommend updating to twrp 2.6.3.3 from the official twrp site, it's much better than 2.6.3.2. also if you are using an outdated adb.exe that will give you adb problems. can get the latest from android website.

Well, I have no way to transfer any files to the phone, so I can't install the new recovery. All I need to do is be able to push a ROM file to the phone, I think, so I can install it.
I am using adb sideload from recovery. I'm not aware of another location to do so. It just sits at the prompt saying starting sideload...

that's because you have no adb connection. no connection = no pushing files. that's why i said you need to get adb working first.

I installed the universal adb driver and now 'adb devices' does show the device, and I'm transferring the ROM with adb sideload 'filename', so hopefully this will work.
Thanks!

Okay I got the ROM transferred and I have installed it successfully.
Using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598361
But when I reboot it goes straight to recovery.
A factory reset fails. I'm only able to advanced wipe of system/data, also it fails when I wipe cache or dalvik.
So I've tried wiping system/data, then installing the ROM again, and it just reboots straight back to recovery.

I sideloaded TWRP 2.6.3.5 for tmobile. Verified it shows 2.6.3.5 TWRP now. I'll try to sideload/install the ROM again.
Edit: When trying to factory reset it says failed to mount cache.

Okay so I have successfully installed the ROM with TWRP 2.6.3.5 and when I reboot it still goes straight into recovery.
What next?
Thanks
Edit: Is there perhaps something wrong with the bootloader, or what? I'm thinking part of the issue is because I can't mount or wipe cache/dalvik?

I'm in the exact same position with the d800. Stuck in twrp. I think we need to sideload a working boot.img. Idk. I was working on it all night reading everything I could about adb because although I had the lg drivers and my PC recognized my phone was connected it would give me a driver error. Thus I couldn't use the flash tool. Can you get to download mode?

How do you start download mode?
I was able to mount cache now, after unchecking format setting (use rm instead of -rf), but after doing factory reset and advanced wipe (everything except internal storage), then installing ROM, it still reboots straight back into recovery. Damn.

Any luck? I tried flashing CM11 on TWRP 2.6.3.2 (per XDA instructions) and it failed. Now I am stuck in recovery and can't ADB new recovery

LG G2 ADB unauthorized device (unable to get into system)

Hey guys, I was running 4.3.x for a while with the loki twrp solution and all was well, after many attempts to flash 4.4 I finally decided to ditch twrp and go to CWM, that went without a hitch and brought me into the latest nightly of CM, yet I wanted a fresh install (No accounts, no pictures media etc etc) so I tried to do factory reset from within the OS and it wouldn't let me. so I then went into recovery and tried to format things from there...
Since then I have been unable to get past the spinning CyanogenMod boot screen and though adb sees there is a device, it is telling me it is "unauthorized". Of course since I can't get into the OS the RSA confirmation thing can't come up and I can't select any system preferences. Before I went messing around in recovery formatting things ADB was working flawlessly.
Any ideas on where to go from here?
Thanks guys,

I've never been able to mount anything using the recovery. Not sure if it because of the LG phone or of my recovery. But I've tried different ones (CWM, TWRP, Philz Touch), none was able to mount my phone from recovery. Your best bet right now is to flash the files from a OTG cable and flash drive. Also when you said you formatted the phone from the recovery, did you format the system partition as well? TWRP has that option so I assume CWM has it as well

I did a full system, data and cache format om CWM after that there was no OS or amnything of the sort, then I was able to mount the SD and adb push cm11 + gapps-kk to the sdcard, I flashed those two zips restarted, failed, then i did a system reset (resets everything but the OS) and I popped out in CM11 with a perfectly fresh install. got all that setup and am golden now ::

Check the .android folder
My problem started when I tried to connect another phone which happened to be the same type of phone as the previous one. Not sure if that's actually related, but my working hypothesis is that ADB gets confused in this scenario. I tried everything listed here and in many other places, and nothing seemed to work. Finally, I did this:
1. Rename .android folder in your user directory (~/username/.android on Mac OSX) to .android_bak (for safe keeping).
2. Restart the adb daemon: "adb kill-server" followed by "adb start-server"
After that, I got the authentication confirmation on the phone (don't forget that part, of course) and all was well.
These steps merely recreate the .android folder and get rid of any authentication credentials you already have. Note of course that this will impact all other phones you may be connecting.

Have you try to do a full wipe? In any case, yoy can download other rom that works sure and put in the sdcard using adb when you are in recovery mode...
Check if when you flash the rom, you are getting an error related with loky-... (Something like this)...

Why don't you try to install back cwm if you still have your cwm backup. Then after that restore your backup.

Yes i did a full wipe, when i flash AOKP 2/16 its successful but stays boot looping, but PA and CM11 says failed, but nothing mentioning loki.

Can you not mount in twrp? Or go into download mode and adb push another ROM onto the phone? If your in a bootloop just wipe everything twice. Mount or adb push a new ROM AFTER checking md5. Both those have worked for me :$

Is your TWRP out of date? You can update TWRP while in TWRP. Or just adp sideload another ROM.

How do you update twrp while in recovery? When flashing the other two roms its saying something about binary?? And how do you side load, yes im real new to the g2 root game, my nexus's were so much easier and never delt with adb sdk really, ill have more luck tomorrow when im on computer i can actually download stuff , when i flash aokp i see all the files through file manager but just won't boot

By using ADB. If your pc does not detect phone. Try installing lg drivers or those on pdanet drivers.

Adb is the way to go if your stuck in recovery. And even if you're a newb its easy to learn as there are countless tutorials out there. Just read up on it and then you can either push a new ROM or push cwm and restore your old backup
