[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.

How to unbrick SATV Pro 2015? - Need Help

Hi all,
On Recently 7.2.1 updates, my device is failed to optimize (left it for the whole day alone)
So, i enter the recovery mode, performing the factory data reset. and when it done, reboot the device.
in this normal state, the OS is failed to enter, keep stuck at Nvidia logo forever.
Then, i enter the boot recovery kernel to
1) Wipe cache / partition
2) Wipe data / factory reset
and put the device into reboot when it done, but this appeared to be same (stuck at Nvidia logo and turn blank after a few hours)
This also put me into trouble because i cant apply the update via USB storage and ADB.
the error message is -- couldn't mount / usbdrive : Invalid argument (USB storage)
ADB device fastboot boot can't detect the device via PC
I provide the snapshot for your reference. Appreciate for your help and provide me a best solutions. Thank you

Fastboot and flash 7.1 developers image per Nvidia's instructions. I had the same problem and that worked for me of course this is considering your bootloader is unlocked

thanks i solved by flashing the original stock firmware again

To root your device, start by flashing TWRP, which you can find here. The TWRP .tar file goes in the AP slot of Odin.
Once you have TWRP installed, you should be able to flash Magisk, which you can find here.

how installa TWRP, i have error
this trying to put... twrp-3.7.0_9-0-a20.img

I didn't notice that OEM LOCK is ON.
You must unlock your bootloader to flash custom images.

ok i haveTWPR done
but after reload sisytem ...

this is very strange, for an old phone, I don't understand, I've never had all these problems ...

i m crazy

Did you flash vbmeta as well as TWRP? This might be the right file

I have to try again ,,,, but I still haven't figured out if anyone has been successful in rooting this device ,, I sansumg told everyone to do it

then, then yesterday I reflexed the original stok, now so I first do a TWPR and THEN this file that you are providing me?

yesss done good
now I need more help, I put TPWR then The file repairs vbmeta ,, ...., but it tells me that I don't have root permissions yet

do i have to give up?

Did you get a working twrp? Try booting into recovery (twrp) and then flash Magisk-v25.2.apk. If that works, reboot into system and install Magisk-v25.2.apk as an app. Then start the app and it will tell you whether you have root. If it doesn’t work, I don’t know what to do next. You may need to have the Magisk apk on a usb drive or microSD card for it to be visible in twrp.

the problem is that I put the TWPR gives me an error
vbmeta ,, then I put your tar file (
vbmeta_disabled.tar
2 KB · Views: 1) the phone starts, but in recovery I don't see TWPR the android menu looks normal

from this menu I tried to install the magic, but the installation fails

When you install twrp from Odin, disable automatic reboot from Odin options. Once you see that the flashing is completed, reboot the phone by holding vol- and power for 7 seconds, then immediately hold vol+ and power to boot into recovery. Otherwise twrp will get overwritten with stock recovery and you have to try again.

I am thinking that by reviewing the file (vbmeta_disabled) it overwrites the TWPR that I first put ,, in the revvr mod it always starts me with the classic menu
[email protected]
but every time I install a TWPR I have to insert after the file (vbmeta_disabled) because otherwise the phone always restarts with vbmeta error in download mod

Use 7-zip and add vbmeta.img from the tar above to the twrp tar and flash that

no work,,stay that way
