Hisense Soundtab MA-327 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I rooted my Hisense Sountab MA-327 and changed some issues in the builds.prop (before I backup-ed this file first). There was no result for what I was doing after a successful restart, so I copied the backup file back to the system folder. After I restart the device, the system hangs in the boot. I tried to login with ADB to see whats went wrong, but I can can not find a good USB driver for this device. Can some please help me? The device is no useless.
- Is there a good USB driver for the Hisense SoundTab MA-327?
- What do I need the get in the system (ADB tools)?
- Or ... is there a flash/firmware for the Hisense Soundtab MA-327 somewhere available?
I really hope some can help me out.
Thanks in advance
Hans

Some please!

What I understood:
You are stuck in a bootloop because you edited the build.prop file, luckily, you made a backup and you know what adb is, and, hopefully, you know how to use it.
How do we solve it?
Well, I need some more information, can you boot into recovery or boot into fastboot mode? If you can, we can make your backup build.prop file active and if that doesn't work, we can just reflash stock ROM, everything will be wiped if you flash stock ROM though.

Hi RAZERZDAHACKER,
Thanks for your help. Yes I can boot into recovery/boot mode (android robot with sign and even can see the menu (Volume + Start). I tried to make an USB connection, but I can not find any driver for this device. Under XP I find a good USB driver, but then ADB want install, in Windows 7 or 10 its the opposite. And even with some not good driver, I see with the command "adb devices": No access, and then 1234567890ABCDEF. Can not find any driver. If possible its no problem to reflash stock ROM, but I do not know how to do this.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for replying, you can boot into recovery which is probebly the most vital thing of this whole process (YaY), in recovery, there should be an option called "apply update from adb", if not, kindly name the options. When you click it, what happens in adb? From my experience you don't need drivers to acces "adb sideload" (as the feature is called).

Yes I see the option.
--------
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ....
---------
I made the backup build.prop earlier to /sdcard on the device. Maybe that was not a good idea.
Oke whats the next step?

Oh, I thought you had it on the pc, I am not sure but can you do "adb sideload /sdcard/build.prop /system"?

That don't work. I get the help of adb when I give the command string. Do not know how this will work with a USB connection. How should Windows and adb know when to get the input from?
when i try adb usb, it start the daemon , but then error: closed
adb devices -> 0123456789ABCDEF sideload
Oke maybe a reflash stock ROM. How does this work?
Again I appreciate all your help.

You get error closed because you're in sideload, I realized that you can't move files in adb sideload. If you want to flash stock ROM, download this and move it to the adb folder and type "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img".
Hope that helps

I will try that of course, but the same image I previously put on SDCARD, inserted it in the bay and dis an update from external drive. Then a message came that hardware was not compatible with the update. I can not find a flash for MA-327 and (again) not for the USB driver. But I will try what you suggest.

I get the error: cannot read 'MA347ENMEG3EV02.img'
Image is 1.744.423.512 size

If you have a sdcard that is large enough for the image (minimum 4gb) you can download win32diskimager. Open win32diskimager and select the .img file. Then, connect your sdcard to your pc and format it to fat32. Then locate it on win32diskimager and write the file. This will take a very long while so please be patient. Once it's done, put it in the hisense and attempt to boot. The android "bios" will go through all the nand memory for a bootable image but since that wont work, it will proceed to check external devices (as far as I know) and once it sees the bootable sdcrad it will, hopefully boot. Once you have booted, don't eject the sdcard, conncect the hisense to your pc and install the necessary adb drivers, then, boot into recovery and hit apply update from adb. Then type adb sideload nameoftheimg.img.
Hopefully that works

Oke. But if it boot from sdcard, then it will not install the img from sdcard?? I though it would.
What are the 'necessary adb drivers'?
And when i give the command "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img, will it get the img from sdcard OR from PC?
So the image is on SDcard AND on the PC? I do not get it (sorry)

Not as far as I know, I could be wrong, it could install from it. As far as the adb driver goes this is what I meant, you manually install them. Yes, the image is on both the pc and sdcrad.

Hello (again)
It will not boot from the sd card. I formatted it FAT32, used Win32DiskManager to write the .img on it, place the sdcard in the hisense and booted it. Press ON. System will not boot on sdcard. Instead it boot from disk. I see the same logo as before, Hisense Smart. It ignores the sdcard.
Booted it in recovery mode (with inserted SDcard). ADB sideload xxx.img, gave same answer: cannot read MAxxx.img. Other option in the recovery mode like update from external image (i hoped the sdcard) does not work either (can not find any /mnt ect file).
How can I force to boot from sdcard? Is the sdcard now bootable (with win32diskmanager). I used Rockchip Create Upgrade Tool 1.43 also, but this app crash when it want to write to SDcard.
No luck with me till now. Is my device saveable at all? Why does it not see the sdcard?

It is saveable, can you give me the link to the .img file? The fact that it says "cannot read" might be that the image file is corrupt. Are you sure you are typing the right name? You can do adb sideload then type the first letter (if it is a big letter type it as big for example Achicken, type A, if it is aCHICKEN, type it as a) and hit tap, that will ensure you have the exact name and dont tamper with it as in add .img at the end.

Yes I always give first letter tap. This is what I typed
adb sideload M (and then tap) => adb sideload MA347ENMEG3EV02.img
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0Bwr18Lh81gvJazJXTGFQTnhDSEk&export=download
Its a rar. I unzipped it with 7-zip
I tryed also adb shell. But device is unauthorized and I get eroor $ADB)VENDOR_KEYS not set (even when I deleted .android in my users dir. Do not get any permission question on device also. My hope is still a bootable SDCard and image.
Thanks

Might seem crazy but check this out, try with your image then his image(s). Remember, booting from an sdcrad is extremely slow, It can actually take 24hours depending on the speed fo your sdcrad so before trying this I suggest you leave it for a day.

Oke, I will wait for a while. But it seems it just hangs in the normal boot.
Thanks for so far. I will report back after the weekend with hopely good news
Hans

I waited for 48hours but nothing happens. Still the screen Hisense Smart.
So it will not boot from SD card and I can not external mount with adb.
When I go in recover mode I see message:
failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (No such device)
SDCard is raw formatted. Can not browse with Windows SDCard. Maybe it should be wrotten different so I can see /mnt/external_sd
Maybe you have a good idea this week for me.

I tried out this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046
After keying the fastboot commands in it says <waiting for device>. Some Google hits told me that it's because I don't have latest USB drivers. I'm sure I do, but I've re-installed them just to be sure. But to no avail.
I'm still on my stock ROM (untouched), phone is rooted (duh) and this is my first attempt to install a custom recovery.
Not allowed to post on that thread ofc, my first post here. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks
Here is the Simple way ..try it
this link for latest working Rom >>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
how to root >>
Enable USB debugging on your phone by going to Settings –> Applications –> Development. Check the ‘USB Debugging’ option.
Make sure you have a SD card inserted and mounted in your phone (Don’t know if it’s necessary but before proceeding further I formatted my SD card after taking a backup of the data in it. Why take a risk? Smile)
Download the GingerBreak APK from XDA Developers and get it onto your phone.
Install it by browsing to the GingerBreak APK in any file manager.
Open GingerBreak from your app drawer and press the root button.
Wait for a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot itself. (The reboot will take quite some time.)
You will see a SuperUser app in your app drawer after the reboot. Open it and see if it is working.
You now have a rooted Optimus One P500 phone.
Now install custom recovery
Follow the below steps to install custom recovery on your LG Optimus One P500.
Install Android Terminal Emulator from Android Market.
Download the file "amon_ra_recovery_installer.zip" from here or here.
Check the MD5 hash value of the downloaded ‘zip’ file. You can use HashTab to do this. Right click on the downloaded file and ensure the MD5 matches 86db8a52b01f049cadb8f097a4c5bd9e.
Extract the contents of the ‘zip’ file to the root of the SD card (Don’t extract inside any folder. For example if your SD Card is mounted on J: in Microsoft Windows then the four extracted files should be right under J:/ like J:/flash_image)
Open the terminal emulator app on your phone and type ‘su’ without the quotes. This will prompt a popup on your phone from the SuperUser app asking you whether you want to give root permissions for the terminal emulator app. Click ‘Allow’ and proceed. The shell prompt will change from the previous user shell ‘$’ to root shell ‘#’ in the emulator.
Now type in the following command and press Enter. The custom recovery will be flashed on to your phone and it will reboot into Custom Recovery.
sh /sdcard/rf.sh
Shut down your phone and boot into Recovery using the Volume Down, Home and Power switch keys. You can move through the options using the volume up/down keys. Use the Menu button to select the option.
In the recovery menu, select Backup/Restore, then select Nand backup. What this will do is backup your current ROM on your SD card, if something goes wrong while flashing the new ROM you can simply boot into recovery and restore your previous ROM.
Connect the phone to your computer and inside Recovery main menu click the option ‘USB-MS toggle’ and then ‘USB-MS Toggle SDCard’. This will unmount the SD card so that you can see it in your computer. Backup everything from your SD Card. Eject from computer and toggle USB again from recovery to mount the SD card back in phone.
Though it is not a necessity for this ROM, I would suggest partitioning your SD card to create swap and ext partitions. The ext partition will come in use if you want to install apps onto your SD card later. This is different from what you see in Froyo versions of Move to SD option. Partitioning will format your SD card, so make sure you backup your SD card as mentioned in Step 3.
Go back to the recovery menu again and select ‘Partition sdcard’. Then select ‘Partition SD’. Create a swap partition of size 0 and ext partition of size 512. Once done hit Back to go again to the ‘Partition sdcard’ menu. Convert the partition you just created to ext 3 and then ext4 using the options ‘SD:ext2 to ext3’ and ‘SD:ext3 to ext4’.
Toggle USB from recovery again. Inside the SDcard create a folder AAA and copy the ROM you downloaded in Step 1 into the folder ‘AAA’ on your SDCard. Once done, eject the SD card and toggle USB again to mount the SD Card in the phone again.
Go to the Wipe option in the recovery menu and wipe userdata, /data, /sd-ext, /sdcard/.android_secure, /cache, ‘Dalvik-cache’
Then go to the Flash Zip option in the recovery menu and select the zip file you copied in Step 6.
Sit back and relax while the zip is flashed. Once recovery shows that flashing is complete, reboot phone from recovery. The first boot will take quite some time.
Enjoy Gingerbread 2.3 on your LG Optimus One P500.

Appreciate your post but it has nothing to do with query sadly.
I was doing what you've mentioned in the installing recovery section when things went wrong.
I run Win7 x64 btw.

That is correct - drivers issue.
1/ Add DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES to your environment on Windows and set the value to 1. (In Advanced system settings, Google if you do not know how.) Log off and log back on.
2/ Run devmgmt.msc
3/ There, View - Show hidden devices
4/ Go thru it and uninstall everything Android-related (for starters, ADB Interface and stuff under it, Disk drives, Modems, Ports (COM and LPT), USB controllers - might not be complete list above)
5/ Reboot the PC.
6/ Install the latest drivers for your phone.
7/ If it worked, once you have plugged in the phone stuck in fastboot mode, in device manager you should see Fastboot interface (Google USB ID) in ADB Interface section.
Thanks, trying that out now.
doktornator,
Thanks a bunch. It was an issue with the drivers, I tried your method a few times with little success. Then I let Windows find the drivers (out of all the things), and that worked. Relieved and slightly embarrassed that Windows could what I couldn't
Good that it works now. Fingers crossed to unbrick your phone soon.
Oh it's unbricked and ready to go again lol.
Hi, I am on Windows XP with the exact same problem.
Have tried the B2CApp for driver updates with no luck. Tried windows automatic driver installation,again no luck.
Anything else that I could try on a Win XP machine?
UPDATE:
I have fixed the issue. Got the drivers mentioned in this thread:
Anyone else stuck with Windows XP not recognizing the device even after the B2CApp installation, try these drivers:

hi guys
Same issue here...and I've had all of the above problems (missing dll, the "waiting for device" due to the absence of proper drivers, etc) . I was able to solve everything up to step 2 of the procedure, i.e., when I type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" I get the error message: "cannot load recovery.img".
I tried with both the .img files extracted from the CWM link and AmonRA (thinderg). Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? This is going for hours now and I'm getting desperate!

is the name of the .img file recovery.img?
the command is really fastboot flash recovery (name of file).img
Yes it is...Actually I tried both ways (renaming and keeping the original name)! But I've finally figured it out!!! Here was the problem: when I installed android sdk I added the paths of the required directories (tools and platform-tools) to the system variable section so I could launch tools without writing the path all the time...However, because desperate times call for desperate (and often silly) measures, I decided to type the command cd "name-of-directory" anyway and that...made the trick.
This community is indeed great...I'm going to distribute some "thankyous" now!
I had the same problem with Win7, Updating the drivers from the device manager of w7 worked for me. Hope it helps.
Ps: will take around 15 mins updating.

Please help my nook ?

I'm using CM7 ALpha2, so i use 1-click CWM to recover stock recovery, and i reboot it! After that i receive endless bootloop! So i try to 8 times factory reset but it doesn't work! However it can boot into CWM from sdcard, and i flash another rom , but it still have bootloop! I try all roms i have but it still bootloop ! So Please help me !
Anyone help me please? I tried my best!
Check the checksum of the CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip on your uSD to see if it matches. Many time, the fault lies in corrupted file getting flashed. Cheap uSD reader from China can corrupt your file during transfer. I've had this experience and heard of it. Use a good uSD reader and always check the checksum.
You can shutdown your NT by holding the power button until it shut of. Re-download CM7_NT_Alpha12_Public1.zip and re-flash.

From recovery, do a complete data wipe (-wipe data/factory reset)
then wipe your cache (-wipe cache partition)
Install an md5 verified zip of CM7.
Wipe cache partition again. Reboot
See if that works.
During CM7 testing, the only time we encountered boot loops was from not doing a cache wipe. If you have installed numerous files, chances are stuff is getting corrupted.

Yesterday when I tried to fixed this problem, perhaps I formated the /system and the /bootdata partition! Is this cause my problem
When you boot into CWM recovery, go to advanced and show log. Do you have any errors listed there?
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: no such file or directory
Sometimes if i unplug cable and press power button, the N screen appear one time and turn off after that, but if i plug into computer, it will become bootloop !
Is there any ideas, i dont want to send back for warranty because i'm in Viet Nam !
If you don't have ADB set up, go download Indirect's nook&zergy file. It has ADB included in it, and you will need to grab the drivers from that same post. Located here
Then you will need to follow the instructions Here
Once you have working ADB, and you copy the parted file to your sdcard do this: (not listed as such in Celtic's post)
adb devices (make sure you are detected)
adb shell (this will return a # prompt)
cd /sdcard
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
answer yes and fix as many times as necessary. Eventually it will return a partition break down.
From there, clear cache again to be safe, then reboot
I was in the situation where my Nook would boot, showed the "cardboard box", and then blackness. I just took it to the B&N store hoping for a reformat. Instead they gave me a whole new NT. YMMV of course. Good luck!

I do following the instruction but i don't understand how to :
"ADB into your device and run the binary with the following command (you'll need it to be the accesible path or you can just be in the directory where it is)"
I double click on adb.exe but nothing happend !
you must have adb set up and working on your computer. Plug your NT USB cable in to the PC. If you have this:
Open a command window from the folder your adb.exe is located. (assuming you are running windows, linux would have a totally different set up that you would need to research). If in windows, navigate to the folder your adb is in (if you followed the guide in Indirect's thread, it would be in your c:\NTROOT folder. Either way, once you are in that folder, hold down your shift key and right click and select the 'open a command window here option from the menu.
Once you have a command window open, type the following:
adb devices (again, to make sure you are being detected)
adb shell
cd /sdcard
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
answer the prompts with yes and fix as directed.

adb is ran from a command window. its not a GUI based program. Follow the instructions I have given you and you should be good to go.
This same error happened to me earlier this afternoon and was easily recovered from.

[HOW-TO] Use ADB tool | Android Debug Bridge
you cant just type adb devices and expect it to work unless you add adb to windows PATH, first you have to "cd" to the path where adb files are located, most likely C:\ntoot or wherever you have placed them, more specific info is in the tutorial i posted.

if you never rooted using a pc but the sdcard method then you need to run the runmefirst.bat that will create a .Android folder with adb_usb.ini containing nook vendor's id needed by adb to recognize your device.

Complete noob here! Help for bricked 16GB NT

Before yesterday when powering up my nook tablet I would get the "Installing factory Software...Do not Turn off your device" but immediately after I would get the error message "Please contact nook support." Now my nt just turns off after powering on and displaying the n screen. I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with my tablet or what steps to follow in order to fix it. I would greatly appreciate any input from the knowledgeable members here to point me in the right direction in terms of what procedures need to be followed. Thanks

Okay! Step one, you need to make a bootable CWM card.
Get yourself a microSD card, format it, and copy the files from HERE (download, unzip to your SD card).
Power your NT completely down, plug in the card, and then plug in the USB cable.
You should boot to a "cardboard" box screen.
After that, its going to boot into CWM recovery. Now you're not going to have alot of tools on the card at this point, but you may see some errors about stuff not being able to be mounted, etc.
Once you've got that done, post back here, and also include any errors you see!
From there, we can try to figure out exactly what's gone wrong, and the best approach to fix it.
--Also! Include the information about your NT, Is it rooted? What firmware or Rom? Other than powering up, what had you done (If anything) previously before the error!
^ Thanks for your quick reply!
As I wrote in my first post I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting or hacking any devices. I have not once tried rooting my NT. What I did do though in order to have android as an option on my tablet is buy one of those Nook2Android cards. Now I think I may have accidentally pressed Format SD card or something like that when trying to do something else. That's all that I can think of that I may have done to cause the error.
I'm going to try and make the bootable CWM card right now. I'll make sure to report back!
lag0matic,
I now have a bootable CWM card.
So when I boot into CWM I get this error:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
What needs to be done now? Thanks

Erf. Okay, you've managed to bork your partitions.
Lets hope this goes easily!
First, lets get Parted (and some other tools) on your CWM recovery card.
Download this file here then unzip them to the root of your CWM Sd card.
Then you need to get ADB up and installed.
I used This forum to get the drivers, however, I couldnt get ADB to work right off the bat.
I'll copy/paste the steps I used and helped others get ADB runnng.
First, google this application: Usbdeview
Download the appropriate one for your system.
Unplug all USB mass storage devices (USB HDD's, Card readers, Memory sticks, etc)
Run USBDeview, delete anything Google, Android, Nook, Barnes and Noble, and Mass storage.
Reboot.
Open device manager
Run the "Runmefirst" or whatever its called from the ADB directory
Plug in your NT.
Go to device manager - look for a broken driver on the tablet, and tell it to install the drivers (you may have to use "have disk" and point to the usb driver directory)
This should install the driver for your NT.
You may also need to edit a file in the .android directory, at the root of your windows username folder.
in which case, drop to a command prompt and type
echo 0x2080 > %username%\.android\adb_usb.ini
after that, switch to the directory you unziped the ADB files to (I used C:\ntroot) and try to connect to your NT by typing "adb devices"
you _should_ see something like
1234567890 Recovery
Or
000000000 Recovery
Now, once you see one of the above messages
in the same command promt window enter the follwing commands
adb shell
mount /sdcard/
cd /sdcard/
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
you'll then get a prompt that looks like
(parted)
type "print"
and hopefully you'll see a few errors, and it will ask you to fix them, choose fix for both.
Once you get this far (Or, if you run into troubles) post again and i'll see what I can do for you!
(I have successfully un-bricked my NT, but I did it in a way I want to avoid fo you, as we want yours to run stock roms)

^ wow.... that is exactly what i got after the second time my unit barfed.
can you right click on the "omap4430" entry in the device manager and update the drivers by pointing to the folder that has the "nook drivers" folder in the adb + driver + fast zip file?
I imagine you will get a error telling you the drivers are not for this device.
Question to you, did you happen to try formatting the "internal sdcard" ?
@ Lag0matic. this is what killed my unit *dead* today. but it only occured *after* using the 2.3.7 memory managers (not rom-manager) to format the SDcard and the internal SDcard...

The good news is I have now installed the drivers! My NT under Android Phone appears as Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager.
Sadly,though, after getting this far it seems adb still does not recognize my device?
After imputing "adb devices" in cmd in the directory containing the adb files what I get is:
List of devices attached
I don't know if I have missed a step or did one incorrectly.

couple different things to try
#1
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
try this a couple times. my nook did not get hooked until i did this 2,3 times
#2 with the unit booted from cwm recovery *on the sd card*, reboot windows while leaving the device plugged in.
once back in windows try the adb devices command again.
failing that you are where i was. but at least you can get into cwm, mine ceased booting from sd entirely. heres a thought and a test. can you make the bootable-apla SD card and still use the nook via sd card only? or does it freeze up... ?

i have had that happen a few times and the problem was that my drivers were not installing correctly. sure it appeared as android adb composite device, but it most likely installed the wrong driver for the wrong device.
this is where things get a bit complicated because you need to look for the product and vendor id's for the nook tablet and modify them correspondingly in the android_winusb.inf.
also make sure you execute the runmefirst.bat
that creates a .android folder in your user folder. that was the step i kept missing when i had your problem with the drivers... ironic right? "runmefirst" and i run it last haha...

ADB Sideload it. Here's the stock Deodexed ROM I used when I had that problem.
Download a ROM that you want to flash. Use ADB Sideload method.
Have a recovery installed on your device that supports ADB sideload like TWRP 2.3 or higher.
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip (e.g., adb sideload C:/ADB/[name of ROM].zip...or open the command prompt when in your adb folder; in Windows 7, go to your adb folder on your pc...use shift and right-click, open command window here...then just type
adb sideload [name of ROM].zip)
The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page. It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device. As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed. When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.

Do you have TWRP recovery?
If so, did you boot device to recovery?
If so, did you then select Advanced, ADB Sideload...then swipe to start?
THEN...run the command adb sideload One_1.29.401.13_deodexed.zip
EDIT:
ADB Sideload does not work until you are in recovery, and select and run adb sideload within recovery.
Also, if you get device not recognized...run:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
then try adb sideload again...

"Fastboot erase cache"
when i checked log in to recovery its says that"failed to open adb driver control:no such file or directory"
and when i type adb devices it says
"
C:\fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT348W900356 host
"
Any clue?
I don't use CWM, so don't know anything about it. Try buying a USB-OTG cable, get a USB stick (USB flash drive) and put the ROM on the USB stick, connect USB stick to phone and mount USB-OTG in recovery. Flash from that. That's the only other thing I can think of.

Help :) - Accidentally wipe ALL DATA in TWRP: System !

Hey xda members,
My name is Pierre, from France and new owner of X820 version 6GB 64GB (from Aliexpress).
I made a big mistake yesterday, wiping from TWRP all data (Sytem, applications etc.)
Now if I put "ON" again, it is just showing "EUI" logo, without end
I have still access to TWRP but no backup, not .img loaded in the phone.
I can't connect and load from USB the ROM, so I am honestly lost.
If you have just any idea,how to solve it! Please let me know
Thank you very much, and good evening,
TWRP has a backup solution for you. I did this same misstake like you.
In Advanced settings you can run ADB SIDELOAD.
I hope you have proper ADB drivers in your PC and command prompt in Windows is your friend.
With ADB SIDELOAD you can install ROM from your PC via USB to your bricked phone. ADB uses whole base of commands to control what you can do.
Follow this steps:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497
Twrp also supports MTP so you should also be able to copy a rom on the sdcard when in twrp.
just use:
fastboot boot twrp.img (if TWRP you have in twrp.img file)
mobile boot in TWRP
then
adb push rom_file.zip /sdcard
after OK just install that rom from SDCARD via TWRP...
Thank you Razor, mikey and cr3pt !
If I am not mistaken, you provide me: 2 different solutions (ADB Sileload or abd push ROM).
It does mean, if I select the "one more easy" :
1. I boot in TWRP my phone
2. connect by USB (ADB drivers must be installed). Usually it is written MTP or "Android" but I can't see the external drive in Win10.
3 Then adb push rom_file.zip /sdcard in the Wincommand
4. wait and after disconnect USB
Then I will find the ROM to install in my phone.
Is it correct?
Yes
If you have TWRP, connect the phone to your computer, mount storage in TWRP, copy the rom of your choice, and install it. That simple

I use TWRP and always just drag and drop the ROM zip from PC to the phone's internal storage and it shows up in TWRP under install. It's super easy. As long as you have the correct drivers installed on your PC you shouldn't need to use adb.

Hey
My computer (Win 10) does NOT recognized sometimes: MTP, or sometime "Android". So in fact, I never the external storage in my windows.
That is why I can not simply "drop" unfortunately.
Should I maybe install ADB again?

I'd try to start again clean. First completely remove adb and android device drivers from your computer. Then boot your phone into TWRP and connect it by usb to your computer and see if it auto installs the right drivers. If not, I guess you have to find where to download them from to install manually.

I can't see the external drive even if adb devices gives me OK result.
Thank you,
you don't need external drive - correct is adb device. just push file when is visible in device manager
Hello !
It does work perfect, I finally use the "adb push" function!

Bro Its is new security added in windows 10... U can only install official and signed drivers in windows 10.. U should turn it off.. only then u can access adb and fastboot...
One more thing bro...
If u have lost every thing, but u r able to boot in twrp, then follow me:
1. Download any rom for le max 2 U want to
2. After downloading,copy it in ur pendrive
3.Boot in twrp
4.connect the pendrive to ur device using OTG adapter
5.Mount USB storage
6.wipe every thing again.
7.After installation,reboot
8.first boot may take time and then wgwghrussuwgskaaiiawg (U know the rest??)
