I don't think USB can be mounted, you could use adb sideload instead if you completely wiped the internal storage but I'd wait till you boot the phone and then do it instead. Remember to make a nandroid backup you're safe to factory reset in recovery if that's what you meant, as that doesn't touch system or your internal sdcard.

thanks could i be cheeky could you tell me how to use adb sideload as ive never used it before thanks:good:

No sorry.
Jokes, so in recovery press 'install zip from sideload' then plug your phone into your PC. Now put your rom zip (rename to rom.zip) in the same folder as your adb file, and put this folder on your desktop. Now use
Code:
cd Desktop
then
Code:
cd 'NAME OF FOLDER'
now use
Code:
adb devices
and check your serial number appears.
Now use
Code:
abd sideload rom.zip
and it will transfer and install

Ok, no it doesn't but first we need to find out why adb isn't working :/
Grab the driver from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=963042&d=1332595157
Extract the drivers
Now go to Start menu and right click on my computer and then click manage.
Now go to device manager and there you should see your connected One listed as being without a driver.
Right click on that entry and select 'update driver'
Now tell it that you have the driver on local disk and then browse to the folder you extracted.
Update your driver.
Disconnect and reconnect the device and try ADBing again.
Should work.

(e.g. code: cd C:\Users\Jelle\Downloads\ will navigate to my Downloads folder)
4. Boot to recovery on your phone and enable the ADB sideload function.
5. in CMD type adb sideload Find5.zip

hey!
Download CyanogenMod 10.1. then download this recovery CWM
when downloaded copy it to your ADB+FASTBOOT location and make sure your device is in FASTBOOT USB mode. then open CMD window there and type fastboot flash recovery recovery(press tab to auto fill) then press escape
It is says OKAY the click on Bootloader on then select reboot recovery and should reboot into recovery and try mount usb storage to computer from MOUNTS AND STORAGE

Before flashin aby rom, check ur hboot version.
Now, in ur case, copy out ur downloaded rom. Den extract the vold.fstab file (only dat file) located at /system/etc. Open it in a text editor (notepad or notepad++) and look @ d last line.
If u r using hboot 1.28 or 6.28, it should read "sdcard 34"
If u r using hboot 1.25 or 6.25, it should read "sdcard 33"
Save and copy back into d zip file.
Since u cannot access ur memory currently, boot ur fone into recovery and mount sd storage. Copy d now modded zip file to d root folder and flash.
Your internal storage is now visible.
Also, if u have already flashed d rom, u can get a root explorer and navigate to that file and edit it from there, then reboot your phone.
Just professional NOOB trying to be a NOOB professional.

Can't get out of Fastboot.

"Cyanogendmod.Org / Install CM for z3c / Unlock Your Xperia Z3 Compact" <--- That's the URL somehow.
Followed this instruction. Got myself the 12.1 .zip and .img.
I get error installaing the .zip and the .img isn't even an option:
The old rom is infinitly loading in that blue/purple wave line.
I then turn the phone off by holding down the power button until the phone restarts.
My history:
>Pressing up and down on the button rockers.
>Cyanogen Recovery starts.
>I choose "Wipe data/factory reset".
>I choose "Apply update".
(Apply from ADB doesn't work as it seems as ADB has no access for USB debugging. That's why install it from an external SD)
>Install "cm-12.1-20160918-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip" or its copy that I named "update.zip".

If you want to go back to stock, use flashtool and flash whatever version you want (FTF method), I had an issue with flashing CM too, it said this is for aries but this device is z3c etc. Is this your problem?

Few things you can do:
1- Download the ROM again, might be corrupted download.
2- Flash Lollipop FTF(not necessary), Flash TWRP recovery, boot into recovery, (If it asks, swipe to allow modifications to system), wipe everything (system,cache,dalvik,data), flash the ROM through TWRP recovery.
3- If it gives the error that I talked about in my first message, let me know.

I tried #1 but I'm already stuck with the "SONY XPERIA" blackscreen at the very beginning when booting the smartphone. I suppose it's because of the failed installation and the not choosing of "Wipe clean/factory reset".
I hope that still doesn't count as bricking. I let the accumulator run dry and reload the battery and try to get into the Cyanogenmod Recovery again. Right now nothing is possible. =/
I hope that doesn't count as bricking. If so: These special OTG USB thingies fix a lot I heard, should I get myself one?

If you are on CM recovery, then there is the problem. AFAIK you can't flash anything through that, so you have to push TWRP on your device using fastboot and then flash AOSP/CM rom you want.

That's called a soft-brick. You should install the ADB drivers for your phone on your PC and then download TWRP for your phone (.img file) and rename the TWRP you downloaded to recovery.img .
You should put the recovery.img into the folder where your ADB drivers are installed, then Shift + RClick on that folder then select Open Command Window Here. Connect your phone in fastboot mode to your PC (Keep Vol. Up button then plug in your device). Type the following commands:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
fastboot reboot
If you've done it all correctly, your phone should boot into TWRP recovery. From there you should go to wipe-advanced wipe and wipe your Cache,Dalvik Cache, System, Boot. DO NOT REBOOT NOW. You should go back to main menu and choose install, then choose the ROM you want to install. It should flash it if you don't have a corrupted file. After flashing, you can safely reboot your phone, don't forget to flash GApps if you want Google features on your Cyanogen, hope I helped!

K, 90% of this works. I got the TWRP "app" and I cleaned the cache and all that, but I had to reboot. You see:
To transfer new media I need to remove my external SD from the z3c to my old LG. The LG is connected with my PC and is therefore a kind of card-reader. I tried 2 different nightly thingies.
I still get extraction errors, see:
h t t p : / / t i n y u r l . c o m / h j j d 4 o b
I downloaded 2 different nightlies 6 times already. I dunno. Somethings off here.
Also: For what is the recovery.img? Should I install it afterwards?
I have to restart the phone in order to replug the SD card and get recognigzed by the TWRP.

OK, your problem is that you messed up your system, so wiping it is not gonna solve this issue. You need to download a stock firmware file (an FTF file) and flash it through Flashtool, because your device name seems to be "." which is why you were getting "error 7". As for the recovery.img, you will use it to flash TWRP recovery on your phone. TWRP app doesn't work correctly if you don't flash it to your recovery partition so do as follows:
1- Download Flashtool, install the drivers of your device for Flashtool (you can search it on xda forums), download an FTF file, any of them should do, but as you will install CM 12.1, I recommend a Lollipop FTF.
2- Flash the firmware through Flashtool. This will turn your phone into a stock one. Unlock your bootloader if you haven't already, which I believe you have.
3- Flash the TWRP recovery through fastboot (follow my earlier instructions)
4- After you open TWRP recovery do the wipes, note that you can still connect your phone to your computer for file transfers in TWRP Recovery.
5- Install the CM zip file through recovery
IF YOU GET ERROR 7 SAYING :this package is for device: D5803, D5833, z3c; this device is aries.
7- Open the CM 12.1 zip file on your computer and proceed to META-INF/com/google/android directory.
8- In that folder you should see "updater-script", extract it to somewhere and open it with Notepad.
9- Once you open it press Ctrl + H to change some of the lines.
10- Write "D5833" without the quotation marks in the first space and write "aries" without the quotation marks into the second space and click replace all.
(This will change all "D5833" to "aries" in the file therefore making it usable for your device) Save the file and put it into the directory of where you found it, replace it with the original.
11- Now put the edited .zip file into your phone storage, and flash it through recovery. It should work. :good:

Yea I know, but before that, he needs to have a working TWRP on right partition to be able to even flash any rom.

That's why I wrote those steps for him/her to follow. If you flash TWRP to boot partition, when you boot the phone, it will go straight into TWRP. If you flash it to recovery partition, you'll have to boot it manually.

FlashTool says the firmware has been flashed so I don't understand what are you trying to do after that? After flashing the FTF file you should flash TWRP through "FASTBOOT". Then follow the instructions.

K, did everything you said. Read everything five-times. Replaced "D5833" to "aries" and all that stuff. Still getting ERROR 7.
The phone is still in TWRP Recovery from FASTBOOT / BOOTLOAD because I "constantly" charge it to stay in recovery. If I had found this Mount option earlier... kinda feel stupid for that. So I still get ERROR 7. I copied the modified .zip to internal storage and SD card to see if I get the same error twice. And yeah.
Exact error message in red letters:
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file ' /external-sd/cm-12.1-20160918-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip'
Updating partition details...
... done"
So I forethought and cleaned the cache and need somewhat new instructions.
Also:
I suppose with "Advanced Wipe" and your instructions you meant this points, right?:

OK, so try flashing TWRP to recovery partition to get you out of TWRP after you boot by writing these commands in the ADB:,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery
This will flash the TWRP to recovery partition and will boot you into TWRP. As you do this you won't have a go at the recovery again but for this time. You can reach the TWRP by pressing the Vol. Down button when the phone vibrates at the boot. Also if you want to force shutdown your phone you can use Vol. Up + Power Button combination for a few secs.

OK, so try flashing TWRP to recovery partition to get you out of TWRP after you boot by writing these commands in the ADB:,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Not able to roote3 power with build s144
Hi,
I have moto e3 power with build number xt1706_s144_170915_row. When i am rooting and installing twrp through fastboot method, after rooting the phone goes in bootloop. The same issue was happening with build s143, however i was able to successfully root for previous build s141. I am following the same method but failing now. Any help will be great

It's my first phone that I will root (moto e3 power)

Awesome post brother! I only wish I had simply read this post before messing up so much with my phone. Actually, I was messing with some magisk module (edxposed) whick bricked my device and got me stuck at a bootloop and with no recovery partition at all. (It erased my TWRP). So I used the sp flash tool and formatted the whole flash (at that time, I hadn't read this post of yours). Then I flashed my entire firmware back via the sp flash tool. So I thought that now my problem was fixed. But when I switched on my phone I saw my phone's IMEI Number gone! And the sim not working and showing invalid IMEI message. So I tried to find a fix on the internet and I found 2 solutions. First was using an app which requires the phone to support some mtk engineering mode. I followed the instructions and realised that maybe our phone Moto E3 Power doesn't support this mode. So I switched to the second solution, which required root access. So then I set off for rooting my newly unbricked phone. But I again did some mistakes:
1.) Allowed usb debugging and OEM unlocking in my phone's developer options in settings.
2.) I installed minimal ADB v1.4.3 on a windows 10 computer. Checked my phone's connection with the PC via ADB command adb devices. It worked showing some error initially (daemon not started.... Starting daemon...) and then showing some hex code signifying my device's successful connection with the PC.
3.) Used ADB command adb reboot bootloader to boot into fastboot mode. It worked too.
3.) Used fastboot command fastboot devices to check if my device is still being recognised as connected to the pc. Here came an error (the command didn't return any hex code like the adb command adb devices did. So I googled a solution which involves updating the "Android ADB interface" to "Android Bootloader interface" in the "Android device" submenu of the "Device Manager" window of the "control panel" of the pc, by updating its drivers using the "latest windows usb drivers" 8mb file which could be found very easily on the internet (searching solution for fastboot device drivers update on Google). {*Note: If you hadn't installed beforehand, any adb and fastboot drivers at all, then you will see "Other devices" submenu instead of the "Android device" submenu in the device manager window.
Also, you compulsively need to be in fastboot mode with your device attached to pc, in order to see this "other devices" submenu.} So now the fastboot devices command started working by showing the hex code like adb devices command did.
4.) Used fastboot oem unlock command to unlock the phone's bootloader. Pressed the volume up button of my phone as instructed by the warning message on my phone's screen. Unlock flow started in the minimal adb window in my pc. Finished successfully within 9-13 seconds. Another mistake now, after unlocking the bootloader, I forgot to format userdata.. Actually I didn't know about the fastboot format userdata command. I thought the fastboot -w reboot is the only way to format userdata (which wasn't working for me). Unaware of the fact that now I was going to experience a bootloop during rebooting my phone, I continued with the further steps.
5.) Used fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command to flash the unofficial twrp img which I had already placed in the minimal adb folder and renamed to recovery.img I used unofficial twrp v3.1.1 (by moderator) [which was working perfectly earlier on my phone] {link at bottom}. Successfully finished this step too. [You can use either of the two twrp: Dr. Faramroze (link provided by op) or moderator (link provided by me). Both are working fine]
6.) Used the fastboot reboot command (although it never works for me). It shows finished in the minimal adb cmd screen but the phone doesn't reboot. So I manually unplugged the device. Removed and reinserted the battery.
7.) Now rebooted to recovery screen and found the unofficial twrp successfully installed. [ Warning: After the 6th step, don't reboot your phone normally. Instead, boot into the fastboot window [hold power + vol. up] and select the boot into recovery option. This is required only for the first boot up process or else if you do a normal boot during the first boot, the stock recovery replaces our recently flashed custom recovery..
8.) Upon entering the twrp recovery during the first boot, I installed the magisk v19.3 zip I had in my external SD card. It's not necessary to root your phone right now, you may even do it later by simply rebooting from within the twrp, and later on entering recovery after your phone is all set and working and when you're free from other hassles. But I went for rooting during the first boot. And encountered an error something like: "Cannot mount data(0mb)" at the second last line. So, I could not root my phone. So I decided to root it later on and currently just have it switched on. So, I went for the reboot option in twrp.
9.) My phone started rebooting and got stuck at the boot screen with the tag Device unlocked at the lower left corner (indicating unlocked bootloader). But this was something familiar to me, I had already dealt with this error the previous time I rooted my phone. The solution was very simple. I just had to flash a no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file {included along with the twrp link} using the twrp recovery and then my device would boot properly, as it did the last time.
10.) I flashed the no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file from the twrp and got so many red line errors during the flash. (This didn't happen the last time). Every error had the same words, "cannot mount data (0mb)". So I went back to try rebooting again.
11.) Started rebooting again. This time the device didn't get stuck at boot screen, rather it went into a bootloop, rebooting again and again. Now maybe the no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file did its job and my device got free from the stuck at boot screen problem but simultaneously got caught by the bootloop error probably created due to not formatting the userdata after unlocking the bootloader. Or maybe the "cannot mount data (0mb) just ruined up my phone. Whatever the cause be, I just went for reflashing the entire firmware via the sp flash tool and temporarily forgetting all the bootloader unlocking, custom recovery, rooting, etc and live with an invalid IMEI phone without a working sim, until I find a solution on the internet.
12.) And then, I ended up here on this thread leaving my experience, and learning my mistakes from the OP's post. Very soon I will depart for the cyber cafe to try again without any mistakes this time.
At last thanks for this awesome thread.
And yes here's the link for the unofficial twrp 3.1.1 (by moderator) & the no verity-otp-encrypt.zip file:

Search Google for "Moto E3 power firmware flash file" and you will come across websites providing the flash file. The file would have a name like "Motorola_Moto_E3_Power_XT1706_MT6735M_S135_161108_6.0.1.zip". The "S135" over here is the firmware version and will vary upon the version uploaded by the site. The latest version as of today is S152_190315. I somehow managed to download a S151 file and I forgot where I downloaded it from. But you can still go for older firmware versions, and then when you're done with all the flashing and rooting and all that and your phone starts up without any error, you can go for OTA updates from within the settings>about phone>system update.

S151 is newest (flash file available for download) for XT1706. [Actually S152 is latest but it's not yet available for download] So you succeeded maybe because you used the older version. Cause a guy commented that he couldn't root the newer versions but could root the older versions.

Is it necessary to uncheck preload? If yes, I think you should highlight it. Anyway, I didn't uncheck preload and the flash successfully worked for me? So what difference does it count for? Please do notify us of its significance.

I didn't remove my battery, sim or microsd card and everything worked fine for me. Also, I didn't connect my device to pc after pressing the download button in the sp flash tool. Here's what I did instead:
I kept the sp flash tool ready with all steps. Only pressing the download button remaining. Then I connected my device to the pc. As soon as you hear the device connected sound, press the download button. And the flashing process will start. If you get late in pressing the download button, you will hear another sound of device disconnected. Then you'll have to remove the usb from the device and replug it and go for trying again pressing the download button as soon as you hear the device connected sound.
