Erased my phone, need help. - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

I screwed up. I rooted my phone (oneplus 5) and was in the process of trying some new roms.
Went to install another rom and accidentally hit erase pretty much everything.
I figure no sweat, I'll just copy a rom from my PC onto the phone. No so easy.
Went in recovery (TWRP) The PC see the phone and "internal Storage" but won't allow me to copy anything to the phone, so I can't copy the rom to get back up and running.
Is there a way to flash the rom (zip) in fastboot onto the phone or a way to copy the zip to the phone so I can install it using TRWP?
Thanks.

I've had a mounting issue before, try rebooting to recovery, if that fails again I flashed the stock recovery to format all partitions then re flashed twrp.

I can get into TWRP, but I have no files there (on the phone) to flash. How do I flash from the PC? I have the ROM zip files on the PC.

Click reboot, recovery on twrp and reconnect your phone to your PC and it should mount so you can drag files over

That is not working and the device is no longer appearing in windows. Add to that, this time when I tried to communicating with it in fastboot, it the PC was reading "waiting for device" and doesn't seem to be communicating with the phone. Ugh.

Format user data in TWRP, reboot back into recovery and then try again.
Or you can run these commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot format userdata
Reboot into recovery and see if it works

It is not.
I erased data in TWRP still will not appear in windows.
I can not connect with fastboot any longer, When in fastboot and trying to connect via the PC (fastboot device) I am getting "waiting for any device" I hope I'm not dead in the water.

Erasing data is different from formatting
As for the fastboot error, try using a different USB port and also try restarting your computer.
Also make sure your fastboot/adb platform tools are up to date

If you have the rom on PC but you're enable to copy into device..... maybe ADB sideload? Through TWRP you can also sideload a rom, connecting the phone to pc but only if ADB driver is recognized....
EDIT: if i dont remember wrong you need only to open TWRP>Advanced>ADB Sideload>Swipe to start then connect the phone to pc and the command is adb sideload zipname.zip
Hope i've not forgot something :good:

Been around computers now for a while now, you would think I'd check the basics. Was so damn pissed that I was so stupid to hit erase, I never checked the cable, it was half out...Doh!. Plugged it in and I was able to connect via fastboot, ran the two commands you wrote and was able to see my op5 on windows and was able to copy my files over.
Up and running, thank you all so very much.

[Q] Super Ultra Brick (WITH VIDEO)

UPDATE 3: I've got it back to as stock as I can get it. I think I'm going to just return it and get a new one. Thank you all for your help.
UPDATE 2: As of right now, I'd like to completely remove FFF from the device, but I can only use fastboot to do it. I have absolutely no adb access. Is there a way?
UPDATE: Here is a video showing what is happening to my KF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH6oUg1NmC0
I hate to start another thread about boot loops/bricking, but I'm not sure what's going on with my fire.
I had CM7 installed successfully since the day after Christmas. This morning I woke up and my Fire was being really sluggish, so I rebooted it (I did not select reboot into recovery).
After it powered on, I was stuck at the CM7 boot screen (with the skateboarding android). I let it sit, but no luck. I went into TWRP to try and restore the backup I made of the stock rom. It looked successful, but when I rebooted I was stuck at the Kindle Fire boot screen.
Next, I tried wiping the device and re-installing CM7, but I received an error (something along the lines of E:Error unable to find /tmp/sideload/blahblah).
So I again restored my backup of the stock rom. Now when I power on my Fire I see the yellow triangle, then the kindle fire logo, yellow triangle, kindle fire logo, and it just keeps repeating. The problem is I am unable to connect to adb because the PC only seems to recognize the adb device for a few seconds after the yellow triangle, which does not give me enough time to fix the problem.
Any ideas?
looks like you'r out of battery ! the kf is rebooting !
would take the wall charger and charge for an hour
it's not possible to charge with the computer - it lasts forever
then it should respond in a stable state

Recovery shows my battery level to be at 53%. I've got it on the charger now, but I have a feeling there is something else going on.
Also, I am unable to mount my Fire's SD to my computer in recovery. It looks like it is working, but my computer never acknowledges it.
maybe because your last installation failed
nevertheless i would try to charge and then go in twrp and retry the installation
if that's not sucessful i would try to switch the kf to fastboot and copy a new rom. stock or prerooted stock or cm7 - whatever you like
in twrp there is a point "mount" - sdcard - then you should get it from computer

Thanks for the reply. Is adb required to get into fastboot? The problem is that I am unable to get into adb because my computer only sees the Fire for about 1 second. When I go into device manager, I don't see it at all.
EDIT: Yeah, I see the mount in TWRP, but it does not do anything when I select it.
Hi Im a beginner but Id like to try to help :
In case you become desperate ignore twrp's battery display and try wall charger.
Anorher idea id have is to shut down throughr twrp and start up then instead of rebooting.
ADB is needed to get into fastboot, but it's quick. If you use KFU, you can probably hit the option during the couple seconds you have available. I would say your best bet, however, is booting into twrp, doing a full wipe of system, cache, davlik cache, and maybe data, and then trying the rom install again.

So this time it looks like the installation worked in TWRP, but after reboot now I'm stuck at the CM7 boot screen. This is at least some progress, so when I get home I'll see what I can do.
Sent via my internet connected mobile cellular telephone.
Well, the battery is definitely not the issue. I've been trying to get fastboot, but the problem is the fact that I can not get adb. Has anyone else had issues with getting adb? I've already tried to install the drivers, and that doesn't work.
EDIT: I've tried issuing "adb devices" from the command prompt repeatedly as soon as I hear the ding until it disconnects a second later, but still I have had no luck.
Also, I found this thread in which someone else appears to have had a similar issue to mine.
[Q] New kind of unfixable Super Brick?
at the moment adb is useless - you should try to get the device in fastboot mode - correctly recognised from your computer - then work with fastboot commands - if you don't get that then your next opinion is buying or making a factory cable - but we should try to avoid that ...

I can not seem to get fastboot to work either. Does fastboot rely on adb? Or do you just run the .exe file? I tried to run it, and nothing happened.
fastboot has nothing to do with adb - calling just the exe does nothing -
you have to issue fastboot commands
ok have reread the whole thread and have some ideas:
your currently stuck at the cm7 boot screen ?
have you used the "stock rom version" to wipe data and cache partitions as described here ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773
perhaps it will help to wipe data/cache with twrp ...

Just wanted to let you know I updated the OP with a video showing what is happening to my KF.
Haven't tried that particular rom yet, but I have wiped data and cache and attempted to re-install CM7.
great idea with the video !!!

OK, so I restored my original rooted kindle rom, but I still can't get into fastboot because of the problem I showed in the video. It is doing exactly the same thing, just instead of the CM7 boot screen, it is the Kindle Fire boot screen.
Is is possible to get into fastboot without the computer? Can anyone think of a reason why I would not be able to mount my device in TWRP?
I just want to understand something about fastboot... can you upload and flash roms with it? Or can you only get TWRP / FFF with it? I ask because I already have them, and I still can't do anything (mount from inside TWRP doesn't work). Thanks!

with fastboot you can install the newest fff and if you need twrp
but with the newest fff you can issue ""fastboot oem format"

Cool. I just ordered one of SkOrPn's cables, so once I get it I'll be sure to give an update. Thanks for all the help so far!
The cable isn't need when you have the FFF bootloader, in fact, when your computer does see the device for the short amount of time shown in the video, fastboot is active. It's a feature of FFF. Fastboot is a command line tool like adb but is used for different things. It comes in Android sdk which if you have that, you should update the tools packages in the Android manager and it will update adb and fastboot. It looks like something is not working correctly in twrp and the OS is failing to load. I'm not sure you need to oem format tho.....
At some point you had to have used fastboot to install twrp and/or FFF.... Unless you used adb dd? :what:
Anyway, I can help more but it's late where I am, need to sleep. Was going to write more but... Need sleep lol. I'll post some questions and check back tomorrow.
Have you used adb before? Do you know if platform-tools is in your environment variables PATH? In other words, can you open up cmd and type adb or do you need to "cd" to platform-tools then use adb? If you know where adb is located? If so, is a file called fastboot in there? (Maby called fastboot.exe)

Yep, I've used adb successfully, and it is set up as an environmental variable. I actually installed FFF and TWRP with the KFU. Problem is I think something else is botched; perhaps it is TWRP itself, since I am unable to mount from TWRP. I'll try again when I get home.

N7 stuck at loading screen, fastboot doesn't work, recovery mode doesn't boot.

I was running ParanoidAndroid perfectly until it crashed and not it gets stuck at the loading screen of the ROM (not the Google logo). I'm able to turn it off and get into Bootloader. From there if I choose Recovery mode, it gets stuck at Google logo.
If I plug it into the PC while in booatloader, it gets detected as "Android" but no driver (I'm sure I installed it before with the Toolkit). Toolkit just won't detect the device anymore, keeps getting stuck at the <waiting for device> command.
If I plug it into the PC while stuck at the ParanoidAndroid loading screen, I see MTP and Nexus in Device Manager but w/o drivers.
What can I do now? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
Bump.

Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader? Try this(assuming Windows):
-copy your recovery image of choice to your fastboot folder on your PC.
-boot to the bootloader with usb connected.
-open cmd window and navigate to fastboot folder
-type: fastboot boot insertrecoverynamehere.img
It should boot into the recovery from there. Make sure it's the same recovery you used for your latest backup.
Edit: I just read the subject line saying fastboot didn't work. Odd that it would just stop working from the bootloader like that. Have you tried manually updating the driver? Or maybe adb when it recognizes the device as MTP?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I figured out the problem. I'm such a dumbass. I forgot that last time I did this on a friend's computer. Apparently, the toolkit doesn't work properly on Windows 8 64-bit... (at least not on mine). I plugged it into a friend's laptop running W7 and was able to flash recovery again. Smooth sailing from there. Wonder what corrupted recovery.

I've never been able to cold boot my recovery - only through the goomanager app(for TWRP). I believe it's a known bug. I can only boot recovery from the bootloader when my N7 is plugged into my laptop via usb. Power or another laptop don't count. Oddly enough, It also works if I plug it into my Galaxy Nexus via USB+OTG.

Hm, perhaps that was the problem? But I was able to cold boot into recovery after reflashing TWRP... Anyhow, I'm glad I didn't have to restore a recovery image as I haven't made a backup since the last PA update

It worked for me only once after reflashing the recovery. Never again after that. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but until then, I carry my USB cables with me if I'm flashing new roms

Stuck on TWRP without a system to boot to.

Hi, I wanted to return my g2 to stock rom because I didn't like my custom rom, so I followed the lg flash tool guide(tot):http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
It worked, but it was jelly bean 4.2 instead of Kit kat 4.4, so I tried to install TWRP so that I can install again a custom rom, but when I tried to backup before flashing TWRP, it wrote "backup Failed", I tried again and it wrote it again, but then the phone just stayed on the boot animation for a few seconds and didnt turn on again. After that, again I tried to do the flash tool method just to return to stock rom but now, it just doesn't work, whenever I insert the DLL and TOT file and start the installation, it goes up to 80% extremely quick and just boots up to TWRP without actually installing the stock rom. So now I'm stuck here with TWRP but without a system to boot to and no rom on my sd card to flash.
I really need help here because I have no idea how to continue.
Thanks for any help!

You could load the zip you want to flash to a USB drive, then connect it to your phone with an OTG cable. TWRP can read from OTG.
Can you get into download mode? (phone off, hold up volume, insert USB cable connected to computer)

Can you get ADB connectivity from within TWRP if you connect your device to the PC?
If so you could do the following command from your computer.
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/Download/
Then navigate to your /sdcard/Download folder and flash the ROM.

TWRP should detect your phone without the need for ADB sideload.
If I boot into TWRP, I can instantly run "adb devices" from the terminal my phone is picked up as a "device".
If I choose ADB Sideload, my TWRP hangs just like yours does, but if I run another "adb devices" command my device shows up in sideload mode, regardless of it hanging.
Conclusion, try running the adb commands without running sideload in the first place.
Edit: Upon reflection, this is most likely because I have created an RSA key between the PC and my phone.

Zenfone 5 a501CG T00J (TW)-Wiped all partitions including /system /data from TWRP

Hello All
I've rooted and installed TWRP recovery. And accidently wiped all partitions (system, data, caches...). Currently no OS installed.
Tried installing Cyanogen mods and also default ROMs via TWRP but getting error saying
====
Unknown command "screenshot"
E: Unable to mount /spare
====
Also tried flashing default ROMs...same error . No luck.
Tried wiping all partitions again.
connected to my linux lap
Device is connected and listed while running command "lsusb". (USB data connection working)
But not detecting under adb devices also not shown under fastboot mode. (So no luck to flash via PC).
All forums saying "check usb debugging" to show under adb devices. How can I ..if there is no ROM
Also TWRP is restarting after some time.

I checked on Manjaro and my phone is present under fastboot. Try reinstall drivers or use other PC to connect by fastboot.
so sad for both of you guys i've already encountered this before try this any of these.
- use adb sideload via TWRP using stock firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.54-user.zip
- if you have a back up restore it, then boot to fastboot and flash the fastboot, boot and recovery of this firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.54-user.zip then boot to recovery and side again using this firmware.

sorry guys i forgot how i managed to solve this i will update this thread. just always remember use always this firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.54-user.zip and back your current rom even if it's stock or custom this is most important. if you can access bootloader just do the flashing fastboot, boot and recovery this would be easy if you can access bootloader.

Need help!!! Cannot boot into twrp

Ok, I'm going to start by explaining everything I did up to this point to eliminate any troubleshooting sugggestions i may have already done.
I rooted and installed recovery the same way everyone else did. After a couple of days, I tried to install a ROM but im assuming i was encrypted because i was stuck in a loop that would only boot me into TWRP. Did my research and took the necessary steps to get around that and decrypt and boot into the new ROM.. FINALLY!!! Only one problem, this rom doesn't have Super SU installed, Alright... so i download the proper Super SU build and put it on my Micro SD card and try to boot into TWRP to flash....
This is where the problem begins. I never get the prompt to authorize my PC from my phone to allow anything, and i never did each time i reset. I'm almost certain the adb on this rom is messed up, i've wiped about 4-5 times to re-enable usb debugging from scratch in order to adb or fastboot into recovery via command prompt, however when i try adb, i get that unauthorized error an there's no option on the LG V20 to revoke under developer settings. Fastboot i just get the same "waiting for device" message. Also keep in mind that i set it to photo mode, every mode that was available and nothing. Tried different USB Cords and did this on both my laptop and my PC at work
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of the drivers, re-installed the latest version of adb and fastboot to my PC, that didn't work either. Tried deleting the adbkeys file in the .android folder and still nothing.
When i try to boot in recovery manually, i just get the wipe data option and when i click yes to everything, it actually wipes my data. I'm unable to reflash TWRP because I can't access ADB or Fastboot due to the unauthorized error.
Someone, PLEASE HELP!!!!
any luck?

I fixed this shortly after. Wanted to avoid returning to stock as. The only option was you and I was on 10d. I had to go back to stock but luckily the recovery method still works.
