[Q] Soft bricked, cant adb to device.

Hey guys, I'm running CM 12.1 (lollipop) on my G900I and hit fix permissions in TWRP and softbricked my device. I can't seem to adb into it (says device offline) which means I cant put my rom back onto my SD card.
What can I do? Using a toolkit it says waiting for usb debugging to be enabled, but idk how to turn that on because my device wont boot.

sammobile dot com, grab a stock ROM, grab ODIN, follow instructions under the download

I couldn't find one for G900I so i got the one for G900F instead, ill try once its downloaded

Don't flash a ROM for the wrong model phone....unless you really want a brick
G900I is on sammobile, I've just checked

There are few options here.
1. If you can get into twrp grab a USB SD card adapter and load the rom on the SD card. Then flash it.
2. If you can get into twrp then plug your phone into your pc. Make sure you allow your PC to mount the storage on twrp.
3. The one with sammobile has been already mentioned

yeah i found G900I 20 seconds after i made the post.
My PC won't detect the phone in recovery mode (in like, my computer) nor do i have a USB -> SD CARD adapter

Of course not, only ODIN will be able to use the phone in download mode
You don't flash with ODIN in recovery mode
If you followed the instructions on sammobile, as posted...

Lost recovery but Rom OK?

I seemed to have lost my recovery but my phone is otherwise working.
I went from CM13 with TWRP, downloaded OS3 from the official oneplus web download as well as the "optional recovery" on the same page.
I wiped data/system/dalvik/cache and flashed the OS 3 zip.
I then flashed the stock recovery img.
Wiped again.
Rebooted to recovery from TWRP and got stuck with the oneplus logo. Completely non-responsive.
Fearing I had softbricked the phone, I started with ADB, got the Qualcom HUB listing under Device Manager and was about to start the process of updating Qualcom Drivers and running the recovery tool (having not been able to get fastboot to see the device) when a miracle happened and the phone started booting up on its own. After running setup, I rebooted, no problem.
I have since been able to use fastboot oem lock and confirmed the phone is locked (I wanted to get back to stock).
Everything is working fine EXCEPT I don't seem to have any Recovery at all. If I use the Developer Option for Advanced Recovery and boot into recovery, I get the oneplus logo. If I use Vol Down and Power I get the oneplus logo.
I think I have lost my recovery but recognise that I am out of my depth and don't want to stuff up the second chance I was given by trying to flash a recovery (I want stock receovery so I can get OTAs in the future). BTW, I read extensively before I tried this, looking at a number of different sites and followed instructions to the letter (or at least I thought so!).
Could someone who knows what to do please help to get my recovery back? It would be very much appreciated.
Edit: I managed to fix it. You have to use the Qualcomm tool and go back to OS2.2 and then update to OS3. See the link below and follow Method 1, doing everything exactly as set out.

Can u guys help me?

What I would do:
step 1
make a FULL partition dump, backup all files including modem modemst1 modemst2, which contain the important imei specific to your phone
step 2
charge phone battery to full, download all available versions of updates from asus, copy all to sdcard, install/update one by one, until the latest. This ensures you get the latest modem firmwares.
step 3
root, unlock the phone
step 4
complete step 1 again, yes!!!! it must be done.
step 5
install custom recovery (twrp), then install cm13
VERY IMPORTANT: backup always and frequently, flashing Asus updates or custom rom can easily corrupt the EFS partitions (modem, fsg, modemst1, modemst2)

if u have computer, then adb sideload the firmware file
select update from adb
command - adb sideload filename.zip
be confirmed that the adb drivers are installed for ur mobile

So, guys, i tryed this methods but does't work :/
I'm trying now install a system.img but i'm stuck in this problem:
Can u help me?

How the heck did you try to install Lollipop from Jellybean..
Use LG FlashTool and go back to Jellybean. Remember you need to flash the recovery first by using a specific root method which gets around the bootloader verifying the image - or something along those lines.

Help! Oneplus2

Hi. I am facing an issue with my oneplus 2 device, I wanted to make it boot multiple ROMs so searched on google about this and I found a thread on this website only, and in that thread, there was a recovery and zip file given to flash so I booted into TWRP recovery and flashed the zip file first and then recovery and then reboot-->recovery, after that oneplus logo with "powered by android" text came and for 5 mins nothing happened. I connected the phone to my computer and typed the fastboot command-"fastboot reboot recovery", it reboot and stuck at the same state as before, then I used-"fastboot reboot", it rebooted into the oxygen os which was installed on it. then I flashed the original TWRP recovery using its official app as my phone was rooted. After that, I again tried to flash the multirom recovery but this time I flashed the recovery first and then the zip file but the same happened. I again booted into the rom and flashed the original TWRP recovery using the app and then I got to know on the internet that I should first shutdown the phone after flashing multirom recovery and then reboot it in the recovery and then flash the zip file, so I did the same but to my bad luck this time also same happened and this time I am not able to boot into the rom also and I am only now able to use fastboot and to the very worst my bootloader has also got locked I don't know how but it was unlocked last time but when I saw in fastboot it was saying that bootloader is locked. Please help me to fix my phone I have attached the multirom recovery file and the link to the thread. Please tell me if you all want any other info I will try to provide you that.

[MOD][FEB-28][TESTING] MultiROM v33 for OnePlus 2
TLDR: MAKE A BACKUP. Seriously. Downloads in second post. Flash recovery, then kernel, then MultiROM. A kernel with the kexec-hardboot patch doesn't exist as of now. It is being worked upon be me Introduction This is a port...
