I really hope someone can help..
I'd previously installed CWM and rooted my one, but was still using the stock ROM (.13)
I wanted to wipe my One and have a fresh start after having tried out a load of apps and trying to get the menu/logo mods going..
I chose to wipe everything through the android settings, but my SDCard was still full of my stuff afterwards, when I'd chosen to remove it all..
I then made my mistake. I booted into CWM and chose to format a few of the different options it allows under Mounts and Storage. tbh, I exactly forget which now.
Now, it'll still boot into CWM but wont get past the HTC splash screen when booted normally.
I have nandroid backup I originally took while rooting available on my PC, as well as a image.zip I made at the same time.
Would anyone be kind enough to help me resurrect it pleeeease?
panic over..
just in case it helps out anyone who does something similarly dumb:
I copied my backup.zip onto a USB drive, connected it using a USB OTG cable and CWM let me restore it from that = booting HTC one.
However, you can push the rom into the sd when you're on recovery and with a pc type:
Code:
adb push name_of_recovery /sdcard

Bonehead that I am, I did the preparatory data/factory reset in CWM without transferring the new rom to the SD card first. I didn't realise USB mass storage CWM didn't work on the note (or at least, it doesn't on mine)
So normally I'd just reboot, and transfer the file within ICS, but since I've wiped, seems like that's not the way forward. So I guess my question's a twofer.
1) Is there a way to transfer the file to the sd card without exiting CWM?
2) Is USB Mass Storage in CWM a known issue, or is it unique to me? (I understand it's a known issue on the Nexus).
Thanks in advance.
its a known issue
Why cant you just boot the phone up and place it on ?
You use adb much ? If so, Get the rom, Put it in the folder with all your adb files,
Boot into recovery (usb debugging enabled by default in recovery) and type in a command window:
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
or
adb push nameofrom.zip/sdcard/nameofrom.zip
then find it, select it and flash it
As previously established, I'm such a noob. I've always installed a fresh rom after doing a reset in CWM. Somehow got it into my head that that amounted to wiping the OS completely. Man, I suck at rooting recently. I was an old hand when I had a DHD. Now I've got an SGN I'm an amateur again!
Rebooted and transferred the file without issue.
Thanks for the help.
Hello, need some help here!
I unlocked the bootloader without backing up any of my files... I know I'm stupid... I was too carried away by the 4.4.2 improvements to think properly...
I tried this recovery method from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705&nocache=1
and another similar one
But in both cases I am stucked at the first step: adb saying device is offline in cygwin.
Adb in the android sdk works fine. I'm on 4.4.2 ota from stock 4.2.2 (rogers), managed to flash twrp and got root.
I've tried revoking usb authorization but no go.
Is there any mighty guru who can help me out? Is there some way of mounting the internal storage in windows so that i can image the whole internal storage?
Any help greatly appreciate! Don't want to lose precious photos of my family...

i have no idea what you are trying to do or what you have done.
so far this is what i have understood
you have unlocked your bootloader and install TWRP and SuperSU
so you have root access
now you are wanting to back you device up.
if this is what you are trying to do then just boot to TWRP and click on backup and make a nandroid back and move on.
with a nandroid back up if you ever install anything that stops your device from booting or cause FC all you do is boot back into TWRP and click restore and click on your nandroid back up and it will restore your phone just like it was when you created the backup.
Sorry for bad focus in writing, it was 5am+ and I was very desperate...
I had unlocked the bootloader without first doing a backup, thus the unlocking process wiped my data.
I had it unlocked so that I could flash twrp and root, which I then succeeded in doing so.
Now, I hope to recover the wiped data. As Moto X only has internal storage, I can't mount it as a drive in windows and do recovery that way.
The thread I found had a particular method of imaging the whole internal storage so that recovery could be done by loading the image in windows.
But by using that method, I can't get adb (of cygwin) to connect to my phone properly. It lists the phone but says device is offline.
Does anyone know how I can get adb (cygwin) to connect to my phone properly?
Or is there another method of recovering wiped data in internal storage?
Thanks for any help!

ok i understand what you are trying to do but your not understanding how the moto x storage system works
there is 2 storage locations on are phone. Internal and emulated external(virtual SD card)
so when you do a factory reset or go into TWRP and click Wipe it wipes the internal storage only leaving the SD card files there
but the virtual sd card only contains your Pics/Downloads/and Some App Data but it dose not have your actual phone data like installed apps and setting so forth. so when you wipe your data there is no way to recovery your system you have to start over. the only thing left is going to be downloads some app data pics and other things you moved to your phone via your PC.
What i would do is rebuild your phone the way you want it and then do a nandroid backup via TWRP and then you wont have to deal with this issue again i normally make a new nandroid backup every week and delete the old one and then i make another backup via Titanium Backup.
Thanks dray_jr, for your detailed explanation.
I just found out the adb version in cygwin is outdated. I'll try to update it and see if it could work.
I don't want to give up hope yet
Someone please help. Its been 3 days already w/out my phone... I was unlocking it and went into philz 6 touch and accidently deleted everything. So now i have no os!!
Ive downloaded the 2.16.654 firmware and 3.30651.2 firmware and have tried loading on my ext 128gb sd. When i go to mount the info and load the firmware, it says unable to mount data....
Pleeeeeease help!!
I haven't used Philz recovery in awhile so I can't quite recall how the storage mount options are setup. You'll need to download a ROM to your computer, then boot your phone into recovery. Connect your phone and computer via USB cable, then use the mount option to mount either your internal or external storage. Once you've mounted storage you can transfer the ROM from your computer to your phone. Once finished, unmount storage and then flash your ROM.
Also, firmware isn't flashed through recovery, it's flashed through the bootloader. It won't help you get your phone up & running at the point you're at, either (not to mention the fact that one version is for the HK version & the other isn't). Might want to do some more reading before you turn your phone into an overpriced paperweight.
Or use adb sideload function.

Sideload does not always work...I prefer adb push

Adb push is way more convienent especially since you would need a computer for sideload anyways...
I prefer not to brick my phone in the first place:thumbup:
So, after MONTHS of trying to fix my red 600 dollar paperweight, I feel it is time to give up and make a post here. I have tried everything from using RUUs, factory resets, restoring from backups, ADB sideloads, etc. and have had absolutely zero success. So here's the story!
A couple months ago, I installed MultiROM on my HTC One M7WLS in an attempt to get Ubuntu Touch to work on it. The install of MultiROM went smoothly and after a reboot, my phone was working normal. Naturally, once my phone was reconfigured I created a backup in the MultiROM TWRP (v2.8.0) to ensure I didn't lose my current state (or so I thought). After the install, I went to install a secondary rom on the phone on another partition. After the second ROM installation completed, I rebooted my phone, only to be stuck in a boot loop. From here, I went to recovery once again and deleted the new partition, and restored my previous one when I had it working. After this is when everything started going bonkers. Upon rebooting my phone, I discovered I no longer had a working radio (it completely disappeared; nothing even shows in settings for Baseband version) and I no longer had internal storage!!! I can access my phone's internal storage through File Manager, but I am unable to install apps, take pictures, or even watch videos on Facebook because it tells me I do not have internal storage, and that I need to insert an SD card. I have tried several things in an attempt to get my phone back to working condition, but I am still stuck with a copy of Cyanogenmod with no radio or internal storage.
Honestly, I have no clue what to do from here so I hope someone has insight on how to do this. I have tried uninstalling the MultiROM addon, but it does not allow me to since I can't put the ZIP file on my phone, or sideload it in since ADB says there is no phone connected. ANY AND EVERY BIT OF INPUT IS APPRECIATED!
So today I managed to restore my recovery to vanilla TWRP 2.8.1.0, and also managed to flash a ROM to the device. Sadly, in the OS I still have no internal storage or baseband, and I have not been able to find ANYWHERE how to restore JUST the baseband for this phone. Also, I have not been able to find how to fix the problems I am having with the internal storage. Once again, any and all input is appreciated

Go into TWRP and choose wipe / Format Data / type yes
when it's done you will have a blank device but the sdcard should be back.
get adb working on your phone with post 2 / faq 2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
when you get adb devices to work from TWRP
go to advanced / sideload
then on your pc - adb sideload rom.zip
be sure the rom is in the same folder as adb

Hi all,
been a while since upgrading and always seemed to get help, so now im stuck i thought id bob back and ask again.
my friends father passed away recently, leaving his mobile locked with all family photos stored on the device, the device has no sim card as this has been cancelled and no memory card, the photos are on the actual phone.
the phone works but when powered on it prompts for the pin code. i dont want to try too many attempts and lock the phone. ive tried download mode, then connecting to PC, i can see the memory card but says please insert when i click it.
on my older phone i had CWM recovery installed and could mount the the storage card, will this work for the internal storage too ??
i dont need the phone, i just cant risk loosing precious photos...is installing CWM an option or is there another way of accessing the memory card while still locked.
the only information i have is that is a Galaxy s I9000, i have no idea which version of andriod is running
thanks for reading and hopefully someone can help

Thanks pryerlee
ive been reading and trying to get the adb method 2 to work but i either get unable to CD system or device offline when i type adb devices ive used linux mint 15
ive also tried window 7 but cannot connect or get same. i read further down and one member stated the USB debugging has to be ticked. i obviously cannot do this.
the only way i can get a connection is through the android recovery by hol vol up, menu and power it on. i can list files but i cant access the system directory or the sdcard.
i would like to be able to install CWM then i can try method one to unlock the phone or just mount the storage and hopefully recover the photos that way.
any advice on which update.zip i need to install CWM
thanks in advance...
you could try aroma file manager as it works from recovery, just download the file to the sdcard then install it from recovery that way you can get into system files, but saying that if you can't access the sdcard from recovery then I can't see it working, but no harm in trying. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
