So I had Cyanogenmod 10 on my tf201 with clockwork recovery. In the Dev page there is a new Rom for PA for the 201. I did exactly as it said and factory reset, wiped cache, ect then installed PA and GAAPS. Problem is Im stuck at the splash screen on boot now and I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER ROM LOADED ON THE MEMORY. CMW recover doesnt recoginise micro sd cards and no matter what i try that PA rom wont load. So now I feel I have a very expencise paper weight and I'm dieing of worry here. PLEASE any help in this issue would be much appreciated!

If you are using cwm chances are you are on the ics bootloader. To check look where the nvidia logo is when you turn it on. If it is bottom center it is ics, bottom right is jb.
Now go to the twrp thread and then to their website and get twrp for your bootloader (prob ics) and flash in fastboot. Now you can flash from external sd.

Thanks flumpster! I ended up finding an emergency file transfer that uses fastboot. You're solution would have been simpler but in the end its back up and running with a JB bootloader and rom now :victory:

I can't find twrp for Asus Prime on their website... or the thread in this forum? Its probably somewhere obvious, could you possibly point me in the right direction?

Never mind, easy find.
Fixed, but newbie question
I reverted back to CM10 by pushing a the ROM in adb.
I was hoping to try things over, but as a newbie I am not sure how (really, when) to install the bootloader necessary for 4.2.
I know baked bean requires the offical firmware from ASUS, which I have, but when do I install it, before or after the ROM?

Flash the ASUS JB rom first. it should update your bootloader and allow you to boot custom JB roms from then on.
Thanks. If I install the ASUS firmware will I will lose root?

Hello all,
New to the HTC One and hit the wrong damn box going to quickly and deleted the OS. Device shows "unlocked, tampered". In TWRP I can transfer a rom with my Mac using ADB side load. But when trying to install the rom.zip it fails automatically. Android Revolution is the rom I'm trying to install. Is there a way to just install stock ATT 4.4.2 and start fresh? Edit: Just tried flashing a rom from external sd with no luck either.
Anybody?

Yes, I can get to boot loader. The phone is recognized through ADB and through fast boot. Just have no clue how to get an OS back on the phone, just got the phone and hadn't done a backup since there wasn't anything on it yet. (stupid me)...Can I use the stock backup from this thread?

I've been reading about the RUU mode but how exactly do I go about it? I downloaded a stock backup from Mr. Hofs post based off my CCID, I'm just not sure how to get my phone back up and running:/ Just want to get it back to stock and I'll leave it alone.
Currently there isn't a RUU for stock sense just stock android for the GPE edition . Only way to get a stock Rom is to flash a recovery back up after u do the steps in that Thread .

What about just flashing a custom rom then?
Try to just mount in TWRP (not sideload) and adb push the custom ROM of your choice to the phone storage.
Not sure if this will put you in any better position. But its worth a try.

The is an actual "Mount" button on the TWRP homescreen. But it should already be setup by default (you can check in the "Mount" options) to mount the phone's data partition when you boot into TWRP and have USB connected.
After you've pushed the ROM to the phone's memory, install from TWRP the "usual" way. I think I've seen there this method has worked for people when ADB sideload did not (on my old EVITA). So hopefully this will work for you.
I did the same thing. I downloaded the custom ROM to internal memory .. popped into TWRP .. .. .. formatted all memory (INCLUDING Internal) .. then had 3.23454542234 seconds of wondering where my ROM was. LOL
All I did was copy the ROM to a MicroSD card (from a different PC with Micro to SD adaptor) .. installed the MicroSD card into the phone .. then flashed from the MicroSD card .. no worries. Easy Pasy!
EDIT: I see you tried. I also loaded Android Revolution .. I think you might want to try downloading the ROM again? I can confirm that I used that exact ROM and did the same thing of deleting the OS.

Not sure if the push is working.... ./adb push rom.zip /sdcard/data/media
I hit enter and the terminal just sits there so I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly.
Put rom on external sd and install unless TWRP dont see external yet. ALways did this on my last few phones.

A lot of ROMs are almost 2 GB (depending on which ROM, of course). So it takes some time to transfer over.
If there is no error message right away, it might be a good sign its being moved over.

First boot after a flash takes a while. Maybe a few minutes (didn't keep track). Wait 5 or 10 minutes before you panic.

dont know yet but the plus series is ure best bet from history speaking
as of rite now theyre no methods on any of the 3s
of coarse u can try king/kingo root prob be best bet
The Plus models from MetroPCS and TMobile have unlockable bootloader's, so all that's needed is TWRP to flash root

Nice to know there will be an option in a month or two. I hear development on Stylos don't take too long considering their popularity.
I would love to know what's needed to attempt root on a device...I mean from scratch...like what is needed to access the /data file...and how to break thru the lock LG has to stop someone from mounting and rewriting certain files

Do the devices have fast boot. If so a oem unlock. Some one said metro and t mobiles where unlocked or unlockable
I'm no programming/root expert but in developer options you enable oem unlock.. then connected o the pc you type fastboot oem unlock from a command prompt.. the phone then says its unlocked .. that's as far as I went. Aso after that, when you boot the phone, it literally complains that it is missing security before it boots.

LG might have removed the ability to boot an image without flashing it like they did with the Stylo 2 plus, and I don't think there is a kdz available yet as I been looking for one every couple of days but haven't found one.

An existing fastboot does not mean that it support flashing custom recovery, check lg g6 threads to know what I'm talking about.
I want to purchase one of these from metro to use on my h20 account. If I flash a new rom will it get rid of that stupid unlock policy that makes you use the app after 90 days to unlock?
Anyone know if or when any updates even security patches will roll out for this device?

My bet is the situation is similar with G Stylo 2+.
Even with the latest 7.0 ROM, I still could flash TWRP and install SuperSU (not Magisk unfortunately).

Ofcoarse no plus for me. Just the reg. So again just like g4 and many other devices i will not be able to get root

researched why new magisk update was being stubborn, one suggested updating my TWRP to latest build
updated TWRP, flashed the img while in recovery, ended up putting recovery into my boot (following a guide and wasnt paying attention)
phone now stuck in bootloop, can only go in recovery
wiped and formatted everything, decided to use adb sideload as its worked wonders for me before to try and put my rom back in
adb sideload wont detect phone, after many troublesome hours i decided to follow yet another guide i found about installing a RUU file into my phone to recover

this worked, i must of given up at exactly 7 seconds lol
dumb question but with all these programs ive downloaded tonight ive just about given up
if i factory reset my phone in android recovery mode (not TWRP, the one with the 4 androids) on a phone that doesnt have an OS installed there isnt some miracle chance it would revert to stock rom would it? the only thing on my phone is TWRP and i was using CM12 before everything spiraled out of control
update - phone can access TWRP so im back to square one, i tried RUU i tried adb sideload and i also tried the folliwing programs
sdkmanager
SP flash tool (cant be used with htc)
windroid toolkit
USDDeview
ODIN
i just want to start over and try again but i cant seem to fix this
No, factory reset just reinstalls the OS that was on the device. If you brick the device it doesn't have an OS to reinstall.
Unfortunately, I can't help you very much as I wasn't able to fix my Galaxy S4 that was bricked trying to unroot as my carrier data was slow and I couldnt find the series of files including Bootloader and OS that I used on my Galaxy Discover that fixed it (obviously galaxy s4 series of files) as Odin will flash stock os and with some work around flash custom os.

its all good i feel like theres hope now that i can get back into recovery, tense moments such as these means id prob never of held down that button for more than 7 seconds to begin with and id still be stuck from RUU mode atleast.
just wish i knew how to get adb sideload to work its worked in the past but i cant get it to detect and the guide im reading says i have to use SP flash tool but i cant use scatter files on an htc phone.

its all good i feel like theres hope now that i can get back into recovery, tense moments such as these means id prob never of held down that button for more than 7 seconds to begin with and id still be stuck from RUU mode atleast.
just wish i knew how to get adb sideload to work its worked in the past but i cant get it to detect and the guide im reading says i have to use SP flash tool but i cant use scatter files on an htc phone.

I don't really know adb very much as I haven't really had much experience with it.
Will probably be picking up a nexus 6 and rooting it since those are 100% stock Android and are easy to root and unbrick etc I will definitely be getting more experience with adb and root

Did you try to root your only phone, that's a very bad idea

ive rooted before, and since its rooted its easier to recover in circumstances such as these
the magisk update is what started it, old magisk stopped working and it forced me to update and that caused everything to spiral out of control

There's a guide on here on how to unbrick your device.
Maybe that would help? I'll try and find the link now...

Follow the guide on here, it reinstalls cyanogenmod then you can update to the current android version from there. Worked for me at least
