Look up "15 second ADB" and install that. No need for the sdk. Download a Rom to your computer. Put it in a file while it's still in a zip file. Make sure you have adb and LG drivers installed. Right click inside the folder that contains your Rom.zip. and hit "open command terminal here" then type "adb devices" if you installed the drivers and 15 second adb it will display your phone Id inside the terminal. Then you have to adb push Rom.zip to your phone. I've had to do this TWICE.

When you say put it in a file do you mean a new folder?

If you have any problems with adb just get an otg (on the go cable) and attach a pen drive with whatever you want to flash. Mount it in twrp and flash as usual.

can't flash any ROM's - SD card problem

Can anyone extend some help to a TF300T n00b?
I flashed the unofficial CM10 Jellybean ROM to my tf300t, and since the storage isn't working I can't move another ROM or even the stock firmware file to my SD card to flash. So, basically I'm stuck on the unofficial CM10 for now...
posted here because I can't post in the actual developement thread
just connect the tablet to a pc and copy the rom to the tablet. I dont rember if windows sees the internal storage. If it dosent linux should or you can install adb and push the file to /sdcard from your computer.
go here and dl the prog:
http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j...sg=AFQjCNG5sMnAkUGOfTZHgHJLFBARtdiyPg&cad=rja
extract it
boot into tecovery.
open the prog
choose the rom you like and push it to your tablet.
It is not possible to do it when you are in system, cause you cant write anything to the internal space.

looks promising. I hadn't been attempting to push the files while the tablet was in recovery because adb wouldnt recognize the tab when it was in recovery. I don't have my tablet cable, but I will try tomorrow morning. Thanks again.

I installed the drivers exactly as the guide directed, then tried using regular ADB, which didnt work. So I tried to use the ADB fast push and it didn't work either, under the "information" tab on the fast adb program it says
"Failed to mount as R/W"
is this a problem?
I got files to push via ADB, installation was aborted on the stock rom
I will try to find another stock rom to flash and update you guys. thanks for all the help so far
Can you still get to fastboot mode?
---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------
If yes, dl the latest. Asus. STOCK, extract the blob, put it in the Fastboot Folder and. Open cmd
cd to the fastboot directory and write
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
This will flash stock.
Don't give up, when it's not working. Just rewrite and try again and again.

So, much of the stuff in this and other threads has been a tremendous help. I did pretty much exactly what OP did in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779080.
That thread lead me to this one, as I was having trouble getting my computer to recognize the usb drivers. I was able to finally get ADB to see the tablet, however, when I go to push the stock rom, I get an error message of "Protocol Failure" in cmd.
Any ideas?

I will get you some details instructions if you can wait till tomorrow.
Or, read this thread and YouTube how to do an adb side load. In short, you will need to download android sdk to your PC, download the rom zip file, plug your phone in and enter twrp's adb side load, open command prompt, and enter adb side load command.

Ok, so here's what I did to install a ROM in TWRP when I wiped all the data using adroid SDK tools and TWRP ADB side load:
- Go here to download Android SDK https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (remember where you save/install it)
- Download your ROM and Gapps file (For Sprint, I think we only have Carbon ROM so use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502789)
- Once you've downloaded the ROM and Gapps zip files, save the zip file into "your drive:\androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools" (this just makes it easier to find when doing the adb side load)
- Now plug your phone into your PC. Go into TWRP and start up ADB Side load. I think it's in Advanced button.
- Now open up the "your drive:\androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools" folder. In that folder, do a Shift-Right-Click and click "Open Command Window Here" to open cmd w/ that destination already mapped out.
- From here, all you have to do is type in "adb sideload [enter zip file name here]" and it should start installing over to your phone.
**** One important thing to note, if for some reason, in the command prompt your device is not visible, download PDA net for Android http://pdanet.co/ (this was actually my case and PDA net worked like a charm)

when turning it on hold volume down and power button at the same time. Then when the LG logo comes up let go and hold them down again and press the power key twice to get into the recovery or maybe it will boot up normally.
Hey thanks for the reply, i tried your trick it doesn't work then i followed the fix with ubuntu, after that no more black screen I'm now stuck on the LG logo all the time .
Help !!
If you can enter download mode, try flashing appropriate kdz file to your phone.
You can also try to install pdanet and check with that. Select the device and proceed. Once the drivers are installed .. Try flashing the stock... Lemme know of this works

If you successfully transferred the correct recovery image using dd commands you should be able to boot into recovery. Have you tried booting into recovery after dd command? I did not even push the other files listed in guide, all I pushed was recovery image and it booted like a charm. Keep in mind I do own the VS980 variant, although it should be the same process just different image files.
So i did use the dd command on it, and transfered the openrecovery twrp for f320s but it just cannot boot on it with vol down and power

Well to enter the recovery you supposed to hold down Vol+ & Power until LG logo appears, release both, and then immediately press&hold those two buttons again.
Can you get your device in adb mode?

PDANET is the key
Did u try using the pdanet? I was exactly in the same situation as u are. No matter if the lg drivers are installed.... The pc won't recognize the phone as ADB.EXE had stopped working. Here is what I did:
1) install pdanet.
2) it asked me to select the device and then it installed the drivers.
4) with this hopefully the ADB.EXE should start in your device manager. In my case it did.
5) go to google adb bundle folder.
6) go to SDK>platform tools> and paste your CM and gapps there.
7) try bridging the connection by going into the command prompt > and CD into the platform tools directory.
8) in the cmd put the command 'amd push "CM NAME" /sdcard/' and hit enter
9) this should push the file onto the phone... Do the same for gapps... And install it from the TWRP.
10) ALL THE BEST

..now open a command prompt...then type adb devices to heck if your device is shown....if it is go ahead and type" adb sideload ROM.zip" ...then wait til it finishes...then unplug from PC and flash the ROM.......if your driver won't show your device try koush universal drivers....sorry man I'm at work now
I had a similar issue and I was able to flash clean rom but I still reboot to twrp. Do I need to flash a boot image or something.?

Nexus 4.4.4 stuck in bootloop logo

Hi guys, my phone is on version 4.4.4 and I tried to root it yesterday on a mac, was able to unlock bootloader, wipe data, but reboot system step is stuck in the 4 colored circle loop. For some reason, a pop up window for android tranfer app on my mac says my device can't connect. I am able to access recovery mode but don't know how to go from there. I tried wiping cache and dalvik and then reboot, but no luck. Please help.
Thanks
If you unlocked your bootloader your personal data got deleted, so there's no important data on the device left, right?
You could try performing a factory reset in the recovery then, maybe this solves the problem

Try flashing the factory image which you can download from the Google servers. Just connect the phone in fastboot mode and run the flash-all.sh
Maybe you have to fix the connection problem first, but I have no idea how to do this on a mac. If you'd have access to a windows/Linux computer it might be easier, or you have to wait for another guy here who knows how to fix that on a Mac

Okay, so I'm on a windows xp computer. I downloaded the factory image from Google, put the the necessary img files in the same directory in C drive. How do i run flash-all from windows. Also, when I open a command prompt and type fastboot devices, it says fastboot is not recognized?

Do you have fastboot installed? Google 15 second adb install xda.
To flash the flash-all.bat just double click on it. It will wipe your device so backup of you need to

To flash the flash-all.bat just double click on it. It will wipe your device so backup of you need to

Hey jd, I'm trying to root but I can't seem to fastboot CWM img. I did put the CWM file into the same directory as the fastboot.exe file. When I opened up a command prompt to fastboot the img, it says "it cannot load the file, no such file or directory." Any ideas as to what this might be?
Thanks
Are you using
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img. Where cwm.img is the cwm image

Yes, I renamed it to custom recovery.img and typed in the command prompt what you have above, but it can't find it

Did you open a command prompt on that folder? Go to the folder and then in an empty area shift, right mouse click, open a command prompt here

Wait, you renamed custom recovery.img? You can have the space in the file name
