Hello, please help me! I have a droid turbo and wiped all partitions out using TWRP's advanced wipe. Now its stays on unlocked bootloader warning screen. Every time I try to reboot system through TWRP recovery mode it states that I have no OS installed and when I tried to connect the USB to my laptop it states that it doesn't recognize the device. I have no idea what to do! how can I install or recover my OS so the phone starts up. I was trying to wipe data before doing a factory reset so I can send it back to verizon as part of my new upgrade. However, I wanted to erase all existing information before doing so.
Thank you for your time, patience and effort in this matter, it will be greatly appreciated!!!

This is asuming you have ADB and fastboot set up.
Open TWRP and click advanced, then hit adb sideload, now you should be able to sideload your stock ROM via ADB in this command "adb sideload nameofthezip.zip". Then reboot and you should be good to go!
Thanks for the assistance Razor but I tried adb sideload 4 times and it failed Everytime. Is there any other way I can resolve this issue?

Well, what error messages do you get when doing adb sideload? If it is "severe" you can always do fastboot flash.
Sent using a ks01lte (gt-i9506) running cm 13
Right under "ADB Sideload Complete" at the top of the screen it says "Failed" in red.
Okay, lets flash it via fastboot. In the TWRP reboot screen, there should be a "bootloader" option. Now get the images for your device and since you said that you had the verizon model, you'll have to get the verizon images. Once you got them, put them in your fastboot folder and DON'T UNZIP THE SYSTEM FOLDER!!! Now open fastboot and type "fastboot flash boot nameoftheimg.boot.img" Notice how it ends with boot so in the command you have to do "fastboot flash whateveritendswith nameoftheimg". You don't do fastboot flash img mkay. Now that you know that, flash them in this order, boot, fastboot, recovery, "fastboot reboot-bootloader" then system.

Did you get the message: Magic Value Mismatch:-.-.-.-.-.-?!
After flashing a new recovery it happens sometimes.
GREEN ZONE
Are you able to go to the recocery menu(power + vol up)? If not, go to BLUE ZONE. If yes, follow these steps
1. check whether you have copied your rom as "update.zip" to your SD card's root directory
2. Go to recovery menu and install update.zip
BLUE ZONE
You may did something wrong while flashing a new recovery. Here is the right method:
1. go back to fastboot mode(power+power+power+vol up) and type these commands on your PC
2. fastboot erase userdata
3. fastboot erase system
4. fastboot erase cache
5. fastboot erase linux
6. fastboot erase recovery
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (change path, if recovery.img is not in the same directory as fastboot.exe)
8. fastboot reboot
Are you able now to go to the recovery menu? If yes, go to GREEN ZONE and follow steps. If not, go to ORANGE ZONE.
ORANGE ZONE
Are able to unpack the update.zip and find the system.img and boot.img files? If not, then go to RED ZONE. If yes, copy these 2 files to the directory where the fastboot.exe is, run these commands:
1. fastboot erase recovery
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. fastboot -w
4. fastboot erase linux
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot flash system system.img
7. fastboot flash linux boot.img
8. fastboot reboot
ROM is installed. Enjoy it!
RED ZONE
Make sure, that you copied the same recovery.img to fastboot folder, that you had flashed before to your tablet.
Type this command in recovery mode:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will run the recovery from your PC. After the recovery menu is booted, go to GREEN ZONE and enjoy your ROM!

So you installed the recovery via fastboot. Did you manage to boot into recovery mode?
I had that issue, that I couldn't boot into recovery mod from my Folio, by pressing power+Up button. Thats why I added the RED ZONE method. Its like booting recovery from your PC. (fastboot boot recovery.img). All the times I wanna upgrade my current ROM, I have to do this step, because the power+up does not work, and the Folio skips booting in recovery and wanna do normal booting. However there is no Rom installed on machine, so I get the magic value mismatch message.
So try to boot recovery from your PC, but be sure you have copied to your fastboot folder the same recovery, that you flashed onto the tablet.
I hope it was helpful. If something is not clear, feel free to ask.
Hi there, thanks for the answer.
I am able to install recovery images via fastboot.
Device is showing up as a question mark with >fastboot devices

Are you able to wipe cache from recovery? And what else errors are listed?
One more thing, try to flash your boot.img and system.img via fastboot as written above.
If I follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458876
and let it install cwm v 3, I get the cache error and cannot wipe or mount via recovery.
If I follow the ICS thread, and flash the new cwm v5 via fastboot, I don't get the cache error, but the rom simply won't start. If I open the package, there is a boot.img, but not a system.img, just a system folder...
I could try flashing boot.img, but I don't see how that could help

Well just to see it clear. So you are able to install Foliomod 1.4, so your Internal storage is not broken.
When I get home, I will check the system folder of ICS rom. There are some method to create system.img from an unpacked folder...
So, in CWM 5.5.0.4 you manage to install Zip from SD card, ROM and GAPPS as well, but the Rom does not boot?!
yup, that's exactly it.
Haven't tried installing Gapps since I can't even get the rom to boot.
I have a perfectly working tablet with foliomod 1.4, and I did get honeycomb to run but some apps crashed so I reverted back to foliomod.
with CWM CWM 5.5.0.4 everything seems to work great, except at reboot, nothing happens (somehow, I no longer even get the magic value mismatch)
------------------
PS. not sure if this is at all relevant, but I cannot fastboot from win7, I'm fastbooting in either ubuntu or xp via VirtualBox, and the device, when calling >fastboot devices shows up as ?????????? (ubuntu) and ? (xp)... :\

Hmmm strange. I ask it for you on developers forum. What you can still do, is to check the steps, that you did them correctly. In most of the cases users forget something, or do some steps incorrectly.
Try to erase userdata, cache, system, linux and recovery in fastboot. You mentioned you had problem with fastboot under Win7. Problem may occur, in case of not proper erasing.
Thanks, I'll give it another try tonight.
Fastboot in win7 is simply not seeing the device. It shows up in XP and Ubuntu, but as "??????" - not sure if that could be a symptom.
I'll post a reply as soon as I've tried, and let you know how it went.

For me it works perfectly on Win7. After Installing SDK and JDK the in the devicemanager it is shown as an Unknown device. Simply add the driver manually to it.
Download driver from attachment.
Copy it to SDK\USB_driver folder
That works for me. After its done, the Folio is shown as "Fastboot" in device manager. But connect the tablet in fastboot mode to your PC before you add driver manually to it.
Thanks for that.
Tried it, still not working in win7. It shows up correctly in device manager, but fastboot itself just doesn't want to see it...
I've attached a screenshot for you
EDIT: screenshot gets resized, but it shows device manager listing
NVIDIA Android Fastboot Device
and a terminal with fastboot not seeing the device

When You have win7, You have run the console as admin!
Or copy the complete Fastboot folder to another Destination like c:\temp...
Thanks stefannsv, tried it, still not showing...
But I can access fastboot on another platform, so I assume it's not an issue, I can just switch over to another OS to flash
no go, followed both this original post (tried all steps except orange, cause the rom I'm trying to install has a system folder, not a system.img)
Last method I tried was:
1) boot into fastboot
2) boot cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img directly from PC
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) install zip from SD card and chose the alpha 4 release
installing update...
then back to recovery, reboot and voilà... magic value mismatch again (it had disappeared for a while... )
Also, when booting into CWM 3.0.0.5, I get a series of "E: Can't mount/cache/recovery" type errors.. could this be related?
booting directly into recovery from PC doesn't alllow me to install any ROMS, not even foliomod 1.4 which works if using puppet13th's method
*Fixed*

I just go the phone today and I have unlocked it and it all went well. I was looking at installing ViperDNA on to my phone. So I started to follow instructions in the Viper thread
1. I "tried" to install TWRP through the Goo method and after downloading the file it told me that recovery was no installed.
2. I rebooted in to bootloader and hit power button to enter fastboot then I scrolled down to where it says recovery and I hit power again. Phone displayed a message up the top that it was now entering recovery. The phone did not go to recovery it simply rebooted all the way back to my phones home screen.
I then though hmm well maybe I didn't install it properly so I follwed the instructions using Goo again but still nothing happened.
I noticed there was an alternative method to flash recovery by using ADB. I put the file in to the same directory as where my adb/fastbood reside and I booted in to fastboot again and in cmd prompt I entered "flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-dlx.img"
It seemed to flash and gave me a response which I can't remember now but it said OK!.
I then proceeded to try and enter recovery again but this time it has sent my phone in to a bootloop. It will not pass the Droid splashscreen. I can however still access bootloader mode.
I also noticed now in my Bootloader above where it says Unlocked it also says Tampered?
Phone doesn't seem to be recognised by ADB anymore neither. adb devices returns with a blank space
I'm a long time Samsung user so usually in this situation I would use Odin and flash a stock firmware but I don't know the process with HTC
I don't have a backup because I hadn't got to this stage yet!
Any advice as to what to do now

if you can still get the phone into fastboot mode then you should be fine.. when in fastboot mode the command "adb devices" will not return any entries.. when in fastboot you should use the command
fastboot devices
and see if your phone shows up there.. also the command for flashing a recovery in fastboot is:
fastboot flash recovery "your recovery filename.img" without the quotations though..
so the exact command would be the fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-dlx.img if that is what the recovery file on your computer is named.
then hit enter it should say sending etc...
I always then do the command
fastboot reboot-bootloader then the phone will reboot into the fastboot screen, then manually select recovery and see that it worked that time.

flashing the modules for the kernel is always a good idea just flash that after you flash your ROM..

lol. Now Aroma is being a pain in the ass. It won't let me click Next to install. haha
EDIT* Maybe because of the smaller TWRP or maybe not but I had to try again and then click next but about 2" higher than where it says it :S
I am not a huge fan of aroma... i had issues when i tried to flash my DNA the first time.. that is something that you just have to keep trying unfortunately it seems... i have seen where people had to aroma freeze on them multiple times before finally completing the flash... some tips i have seen is keep the phone flat... also keep it plugged in.. I can't vouch for any of these being actual fixes but hey "it's only weird if it doesn't work"
Do you know the load time on a ROMs first boot after flash?
The ROM said it was installing and at about 8% the screen went all grey and then rebooted in to the HTC splash screen and hasn't changed for about 15 minutes. Tried it twice
EDIT* Would only flash using CWM

Hi, thanks for the response. I tried to run adb reboot bootloader but all I get back is error: insufficient permissions for device and in the link you sent they get the device into fastboot mode using the paperclip reset button. His was on the TF300, is it any different for the TF201? How can I get it into fastboot mode since it keeps looping to TWRP with no access to the rest of the system. Im running this on Ubuntu so its definetly not a drivers issue.

Where are you trying to run that command from?
You do not go into adb sideload while in twrp. You are already in full adb mode as soon as you load into twrp and you just type the command while there.

Hi, to all.
I know that this has been ask many times,but....
I did search and try almost a every solution i could find on XDA fórum.
I did i complete wipe and voilá, no OS on my Droid DNA, i was rooted but on S-ON, and i had the Venon 3.0.1
I was installing the new Viper 3.1.0 but did the full system wip,and now only can acess my Bootloader and Recovery (TWRP).
Also when rebboting or turning off from recovery it says that there's no root app instaled,and try's to install but it can find it.
I can connect to fastboot, but no adb (when i do adb devices it shows a blank on the device) but on Fastboot it shows the device number.
I try to upgrade drivers and android adb /fastboot, but no luck, in sideload or push the Rom to the phone.
Also i can navigate on the recovery, and try to mount system etc,but also with no luck.
I tryed on Linux and Windows 8, but still no luck.
I'm trying right now another thing that i found on this question and answer thread (that is install pdaneta4126) but still nothing.
Can anyone provide me some insight or light on this matter?
I know that if i have acess to recovery not all is lost, so after a lot of fight and banging with my head, i would like some assistance if it would be possible)
I'm rooted since the 1.15 and didn´t upgrade Hboot or Radios, if this helps and i was in TWRP 2.63, but now flashed 2.7.
Or can i RUU back to stock, and re-root, or what i can do to solve this?
Thank you for all the help you can give me.

I can go to the recovery, and connect the sideload, but the Linux and the Windows 8 but when i try to adb sideload viperDNA.zip to the internal storage, it just says "error device not found"
But if i do in fastboot (fastboot devices) the pc detects and returns the number.
In adb (adb devices) the system returns a blank space where it should be the device number.
Also i unable to push a file to sdcard.
Try this thread::: Even if you have accidentally formatted your internal storage and you have no files on your phone, this section is down the bottom of the thread. Only follow this if you have no access to your phone and have nothing installed on your sdcard. For everybody else simply follow from step 1.

Download PdaNet and it will reinstall your adb drivers and you should be able to find your device.
Adb push can push a rom to the phone and then just flash it and your good.

Hi everyone,
I have a Wileyfox Swift 2 which came up with and update available. So I went ahead and installed the new update.
I hated it.
So I tried to install a ROM of the previous update using TWRP Recovery. Problem was I accidentally wiped the original OS the phone was running one without having the ROM I wanted to install on the phone (It was my first time doing something like this). I had no access to the phone apart from the fastboot and TWRP Recovery Screens. I emailed Wileyfox Tech Support and told them what happened. They sent me several versions of the stock OS (the new one I wanted to get rid of, but I would be glad to get it working at all at this point).
I ended up having to use ADB Sideload to get the ROM on the phone and I'm pretty sure it is installed properly. Problem is: when I boot it up these messages come up:'your device software can't be checked for corruption, please lock your bootloader' and then 'dm verity not started in enforcing mode' for 5 seconds, and then it just gets stuck on the white booting up screen until I turn it off or go into Recovery. I know how to fix the bootloader lock error but that erases all user data on the phone. I really need to sort this out so what should I do?
Would appreciate any help,
Thanks!
By the way I don't really care about any data on the device, everything is backed up elsewhere.
After flashing the rom you can use adb in twrp recovery with the following command: adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"
This should remove the dm verity message and allow your phone to boot.
Thank You
But do you mean have TWRP Recovery open on the phone and have ADB command window open on the computer and type the command because I've done that and it comes up with 'error: device null not found'.
I'm completely new to this sort of thing so as much detail as possible would be appreciated.
Yes, you have to have twrp open and on your pc the adb windows. First type adb devices to see if windows recognizes your phone. Mine says 50580003 recovery, when I type the command. If you get an error, you'll probably need to install the driver in device manager.
Ok thanks for confirming that for me. The problem is that my phone doesn't even show up as being connected to my computer and I can't access the phone's OS to turn on USB Debugging, so when I type the command 'fastboot devices' nothing comes up. Is there a way to do this from TWRP Recovery?
Hmm.... You could try installing the old cyanogen of and use that to enable usb debugging. Alternatively you could try flashing Magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 . I never tried it but it should work also.

Reboot your phone to fastboot mode from TWRP (reboot>bootloader) or the wileyfox boot menu then flash this file
(https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B34ZucLt1HQ9YjFRQ0otbmFRc28)
from your computer with fastboot.
It will also overwrite your recovery, system, data and internal storage partitions.

Unfortunately the download link you provided is no longer available, would you mind reposting please?
I got the link working. Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, flashing them failed with the following:
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
Googling the error code, I found this: //.lineageosdownloads(dot)com/fix-error-7-lineage-os/ but I'm still just going round in circles trying to get OTA updates, re-flashing, rebooting into dastboot, losing adb connections and on and on....

Sorry about it, here is a reuploaded version.
Exact same problem
Having made exactly the same mistake as the OP, I've managed to re-install the old version of CyanogenOS but I can't get updates OTA or get rid of this dm-verity enforcing error on boot up. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Just download the nougat ROM from Wileyfox, they will send you a link if you ask them. Then you can flash boot and system (and if you like all other partitions and radios) and it will then be on nougat and working correctly.

Worked

After flashing the rom you can use adb in twrp recovery with the following command: adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"
This should remove the dm verity message and allow your phone to boot.

I have been living in dm-verity hell for the past 4 hours trying to fix my phone after a bad firmware flash (4.1.3 replacing a bad SuperSU uninstall), even trying various 4.0.2 firmwares and full packages, as well as a full-phone restore to a previous TWRP backup I had from a few days ago.
I have absolutely no idea why none of the other methods at all worked (such as the simple fastboot oem disable_dm_verity then re-enable command), but this one finally did it on 4.1.3 *fingers crossed it stays that way*
