Info about phone:
Nexus 4
Rooted
Previous rom: carbon rom 4.3 last nightly
TWRP 2.6.3 installed
So was trying to install the latest carbon rom 4.4 nightly and kept getting this error: "set metadata recursive: some changes failed
error executing updater binary in zip"
Then the flash would fail. Thing is I foolishly formatted, as its been months since id flashed a rom, and now have no OS on the phone so am stuck in a bootloop. I cant get the phone to connect via usb and appear on windows 7 my computer. I have tried mounting in usb otg, but it says its unable to.
What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

Try this: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
just flash lastest twrp or multirom one and will work
reboot device into bootloader mode then just download and extract universal naked driver(when installing check make desktop icon,for easy find), download and install minimal adb and fastboot, download lastest twrp our multirom one, or lastest cwm, go to device manager,search for anything with Neuxs or google or adb on the name, double click it, and then select the 2nd option(to search for driver), navigate and select the folder where you extracted universal naked driver and install. it will throw an warning, just click install anyway.
after install, open minimal adb and fastboot, it will open a cmd window, after that, copy the .img you downloaded(twrp,multirom twrp,cwm, they all give .img downloads), rename to recovery(if you have extensions enabled dont delete the .img in the name) and copy to your local disk c:. after that, get back to cmd promp(the one that minimal opened) and type
"fastboot erase recovery"(press enter)
"fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img"(press enter)
then after it finishes press the volume button(up or down, dosent matter)untill the text on the screen changes to Recovery Mode,when it do,press power button and wait till recovery shows up. then you can do the wipes and install the rom

Hi All,
I've been trying to sideload the net OTA. The dvice shows up while it's running. I can do a 'adb reboot recovery' and it reboots OK, sits at a screen where it says "no command" but the Windows cannot see any kind of connected USB device, no unknown....nothing. I checked on all 5 ports. In Bootloader mode it shows up OK but not in recovery.
Any ideas?
Thx
Update: Now the piece of sh1t will only boot into recovery....how do I get out of that?!? I tried to reset, I can get into boot loader, but 'Start' or fastboot reboot does not get be back into Android.....and as I'm typing this it reboots itself into the OS.....oh well :-|
I'm having this exact same issue. Did you find any fix?

No but I worked around it:
Download and install the Nexus 10 Toolkit
download the latest TRWP recovery
rename it to that one supported and included in the Toolkit (I found no way to upgrade the Toolkit to 1.7.1 without paying!)
copy it into the right folder inside the toolkit structure
copy the OTA update into the SDCARD
start the toolkit and boot a recovery without flashing (Option 10 I think)
chose the TWRP recovery
once the recovery has booted you install the OTA zip
Mine failed with some assert error (system/bin/debuggerd) so you may need to use the updater script and remove the assert line (and ONLY the line causing you grief)
Make sure you use something like Notepad++ that doesn't mess up the script file
clear cache and dalvik and then reboot
worked for me
Dear people of xda,
Recenlty ive receive a FOTA update to my device which runs 4.2.2. Being stupid, i did the update although i had cwm recovery installed on my devices. Now my device keeps bootlooping into cwm without being able to do anything.
Ive read tons of threads talking about this issue but i still cant get my to boot normally.
Yingy in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563527 had the same problem but the only diffrence is my pc cant recognize my device in order to do the adb fix by thecubed.
Im plugging my G2 for the first time in this computer and that is why i think my pc is failing to install drivers. I downloaded and instellad latest driver although windows device manger shows error devices not detected and the end of the process.
In order to fix my phone i just need to make me pc recognize my phone in adb although phone was never plugged before to this pc so i think my G2 wont let it access. I tried installing universal driver such as Pdanet as offered in threat but still when i write adb devices in cmd i get device offline!
Download latest adb drviers, lates lg g2 driver, lg user support tool does not recognize plugged device as well. All me sdk manger tools are patched to latest version.
PLEASE ive tried anything possible. spend like 9 hours and still nothing. i would really appriciate your help.
Thanks.
Edit: here my problem with pdanet drivers, it asks me to allow pc usb debbuging as shown in screenshot below but icant do it since im stuck at cwm recovery!
Solved!
BOOM!! after 12 hours i FINALLY manged to solved this problem. Really simple actually lol.
If anyone come across the issue please do the following:
1. Go to clockwork recovery as always, go to install zip from sdcard, choose install zip from sideload.
2. Plug your phone to pc.
3. Run adb with lastest drivers and sdk tools.
4. At the adb folder press shift+right click and start cmd.
5. write adb devices it should show your device id like this (xxxxxxxxx sideload).
6.Download latest twrp recovery from here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/197 and if you have open europe version G2 like me download latest version from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2d802
7.put the zip file in the adb folder, do not unzip it.
8. write in cmd console adb sideload xxxx.zip (xxxx is the name of twrp file).
9. cwm will flash twrp recovery over cwm.
10. reboot in recovery in advanced options.
11. now you have twrp recovery.
12. follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696&nocache=1
13. THATS IT!!!
finally after going through this mess, im never using cwm recovery again. twrp is the best
good luck everyone!
Ok guys, I pretty much hit a wall here so any help would be appreciated. I got manta with Dirty Unicorns 9.5 rom up and running great. Rom slows down, see a new version, all apps are auto backup'd with Titanium, rebooted to TWRP2871, wiped all but media, tried to install rom.... 1st error ...unable to mount system --tries install indefinetly... no rom
2nd error.... tried SkipSoft ToolKit to install stock rom and start from scratch... fail, cause i cant install drivers, cant turn on USB debugging, and/or device isnt detected in recovery and download mode.
3rd error.... in still working recovery i found philz recovery and install it... says it formatted system partition but also cannot install rom.
4th error.... can't connect with adb and fastboot, cant install drivers etc.
I refuse to dump unlocked device with working download menu and recovery.
Pretty much the same as people in this thread: https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1105
Any thoughts?
Hello domagoj_zg,
please try this Drivers:
koush/UniversalAdbDriver ยท GitHub
If your Tablet will be detected, write this command:
Code:
fastboot erase system
I want to unroot my phone and I did manage to flash stock recovery.
But now I want to flash stock firmware through adb sideload.
But when I typ adb devices it does not recognize my device and when I type the sideload command, it says error: device not found.
I am using minimal adb fastboot version 1.4.2.
I already tried to use all the different kinds of drivers @ device manager
I am really out of idea's and hope someone here knows what to do.
Edit:
When I use TWRP recovery and I use sideload, adb can recognize my device (and fastboot can also recognize my device).
So only through stock recovery adb cannot recognize my device.
And I remember that USB debugging is off, I do not know if that has to do something with this?

For the stock recovery, Side load Works.
But only Side load, not "adb devices".
After you have selected Side load from stock recovery,
(Boot in stock recovery,
Select your language, -> install from usb -> yes )
Only after this, your device will show in "adb devices"
It will show as Side load device. Then Side load as usual., It will work.
P.S. - USB debugging is not checked in recovery mode.

Sorry for late reply!
I did what you said, but I get this error:
error: device '(null)' not found
And when I select install from usb -> yes, Windows notify that there is a problem with the device and cannot recognize it.
What drivers must be installed, OnePlus drivers and ADB drivers?
Does someone know how to fix it?

The problem is stock recovery that you Install does not work well in windows 10
1 Boot in bootloader install TWRP again here
2 Reboot in TWRP Recovery
3 Wipe> Advance Wipe> Select Dalvik & Cache System & Data> Swipe to Wipe
4 Reboot in TWRP Recovery Transfer OOS 4.5.8 Full Rom Zip to the device over MTP
5 Install Menu> Select OOS 4.5.8 Full Rom Zip> Swipe to Flash
6 Reboot System
Now you are in full stock OOS
If you restart now in stock recovery you will see that sideload will work
Adb sideload with stock recovery not work in Windows 10, if you use Windows 7, you'll find that it work well.
The problem is stock recovery from the official site
This OP5_recovery.img
If you are in TWRP and install OOS stock rom sideload will work in windows 10
Had driver issues to what j did was with twrp installed I transferred the Oxygenos rom to internal storage installed it from twrp and then put the OnePlus recovery back on
I have a Grand Prime Duos (SM-G530H), currently running an Android version 4.4.4 and I wanted to install a custom ROM to have a higher version of Android. (Tried installing LineageOS 17.1 from itexpert.120, but any custom ROM with a higher version of Android would do)
Problem 1: No custom recovery seems to work.
I installed the TWRP app and tried to flash 4 different versions of their recovery images (from twrp-3.7.0_9-0-fortuna3g.img to twrp-3.4.0-0-fortuna3g.img) and all of them resulted in a unless glitched gray recovery screen.
I also tried the CWM app but it fails to download a recovery image for the device, tried looking online for a image file but didn't find one either.
In the end I reverted the recovery to the default one that I had backed up.
Problem 2: ADB works but fastboot doesn't.
I downloaded the ADB tools to try and flash the ROM from my computer instead. The ADB commands work, but when the device enters recovery mode the fastboot commands don't work. ("fastboot devices" doesn't even list the device)
Went to check the drivers. Most tutorials say to open the device manager and look for the phone device with an exclamation mark and update the driver with ones downloaded from the official site. To my surprise the device doesn't show up at all in the device manager (not even with an exclamation mark). Trying to install the drivers anyway says it's already installed.
The Odin software showed the same problems, detects the device when it's on, but doesn't detect it when in recovery mode.
Problem 3: Error when installing directly through the recovery mode options.
This probably wouldn't work for technical reason I'm not aware of, but I went and tried anyway. On the default recovery mode there are 2 options, apply update from ADB and apply update from external storage. Tried both, the first using the command "adb sideload <lineage rom file>" and the second using the ROM file in a SD card. Both begin to unpack and install the file but after a while throw an error "E: failed to verify whole-file signature", then the device boots to the usual OS.
So, is there anything else I can try? any other recovery images or hacks that won't give me the glitched recovery that TWRP had? Or another method to install a ROM without fastboot? Maybe using another file format in problem 3?
OBS: the device is rooted and has no "OEM unlock" options in its settings
delete the samsung usb drivers and install an older version. only way you can flash custom recovery is with odin. only way to flash custom rom is with custom recovery. fastboot and sideload wont work, this isnt a nexus
You think the reason why the custom recovery was glitched is because it was flashed through the TWRP app and not Odin? Seems unlikely. Is there any non-TWRP recovery image for my model you can point me to?
