I have ran into a bit of an odd problem due to me messing up a root and then messing my phone up even more while trying to fix it.
my phone is fully bricked and only boots into fastboot mode. i tried to fix it with the one-plus fixer (idk its official name) but i got an error 7. I now need to re flash an older version of TWRP and try a diffrent method but i cant as my phone no longer is recognized in fastboot using the ADB tool. I have the USB driver installed on Windows. On Linux i ran the .sh script as root and it still doesn't work.
I have both Ubuntu and Windows installed on my PC so i can do whatever you suggest me to do regardless of the os.
Thank you to anyone that can help in advanced

This is not a hardbrick; a hard one wouldn't boot at all and give no sign of life (except when plugged to PC).
Try an unbrick tool to revert to official OOS. On Windows 7+ remember to disable signed driver enforcement.
You mention fastboot and adb. Which one are you using?
Just to make sure: While in the bootloader (fastboot mode), adb does not work. You have to use the fastboot commands. Installing TWRP would be:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-img-file>
If that's what you're already trying, just ignore this post.
I want to be able to do that but if i do adb devices it no longer finds my phone

I want to be able to do that but if i do "adb devices" in the cmd/terminal it no longer finds my phone. so my goal is to be able to execute that command. However, i may be mistaken that it doesnt need to find my phone i can just execute that command
Ive done this but it didnt fix my phone.

Like I said, the adb commands won't work while in the booloader (that's why it's called fastboot mode). You need to use fastboot commands... The equivalent command would be:
Code:
fastboot devices

I had the same issues with md5, all you have to do is try a different USB port. I suggest the ones on your motherboard if you're on a PC. Then run the tool as administrator. I hope this helps, good luck!
P.S if it still doesn't work, try a different PC, I'm 100% sure it'll work

As Didgeridoohan touched upon, adb and fastboot (while related) are different. They have different requirements and applications.
adb won't work while the device is in fastboot mode. Conversely, when the device is able to use adb, fastboot commands won't work.
adb: only works booted to OS or alternately in TWRP. Debugging must be enabled
fastboot: only works in bootloader-fastboot mode. Debugging is not required to be enabled.
For flashing TWRP, it's fastboot that you need. Well, there is a way to do it with adb, but fastboot is by far the more common way.
When in fastboot mode, adb command won't work, and there fore it is completely expected that "adb devices" yields not response. Try "fastboot devices" (no quotes) and if you get the phone's ID in response, you are in business.

I've had this happen to me when I've triggered dm-verity. Instead of getting the dm-verity warning display the phone would simply boot straight back to fastboot.
My solution was to:
- flash the latest TWRP using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery file. img>
- reboot into recovery (use the volume keys on the phone to select recovery and then press the power key)
-flash the full stock image I was using before the problem started
This would clean up any changes made to the boot and system images and allow me to boot the system normally.
Note: because this leaves you with a stock kernel you'll end up with the stock recovery after you boot the system.

boot your PC into Ubuntu and install adb/fastboot (tons of guides available off the 'net). then boot your 3t to dl mode and connect it to your PC. as mentioned already "fastboot devices" should list your 3t and you should now be able to flash to your heart's content. no need for drivers, unlike under Windows. i have a bootable linux usb drive primarily for this reason. curious what script you're trying to run though..

i can only access the white screen when i chose bootloader>recovery i get the /!\ sign.
i installed the USB driver and i was able to use only the "fastboot" commends. adb commend didn't work. when i type fastboot devices i get the serial no. of the device.
when i use the adb devices commend i get: "List of devices attached" and an empty line.
is it possible to fix this phone? thanx in advance.

adb only works within android since it's a debugger if I'm not mistaken. Try using fastboot to flash the system images of the stock rom back to their respective partitions. (ie. fastboot flash system system.img; fastboot flash boot boot.img; etc.)
You must be unlocked for that to work however.
problem solved
after almost 10 hours of research the solution was really easy.
1.download "recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img" and fastboot it using this commend:
fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img
2.flash a rom from SD card and everything should work fine
Ok here is the skinny. I have the Sprint HTC 1. Currently rooted and running Beanstalk 4.3 and TWRP 2.5 ... I have read, re read, and read again how to update my TWRP to 2.6.3 and have no luck.
I have tried Terminal Emulator
I have tired Goo Manager. It actually down loads the file. Runs through the process. Never reboots or updates
I have tried Fastboot. For what ever reason my computer does not pick up and adb devices. It shows Fastboot USB
Any thoughts. I had some unlock this one for me and throw TWRP on. All my others I have done myself.
I love TWRP..but if I cannot fix...what is the easiest way to put Philz or CWM on instead?

While in fastbootusb check your drivers
Device not recognized? (If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

and I got error cannot open 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img'
This is TWRPS guidelines
Download the above file into your platform-tools dir. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fastboot from the menu list. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. This method requires that you have the drivers installed that come with the HTC Sync software that are available here. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer.

May be a moot point. I am upgrading to a Team Nocturnal_xR1 which is a 4.4 ROM. So far it has been loading and allowed the file on a TWRP 2.5.0.0 version. I still need to upgrade the TWRP version. Right now looks like it may work.

Check PM
I had a similar issue where I needed the updated twrp. I ended up using the original AIO toolkit that I used to root the phone/unlock the phone to begin with.
I found the latest version of the AIO (made by Hasoon: http://www.hasoon2000.info/getdownl...obile,ATT,Sprint)/One_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1.rar) and the latest image of TWRP from here: http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices.
After installing hasoon, stick the downloaded image in the data/recoveries folder w/in the folders from the AIO. Next use the "Your Own Recovery" option under the flash a recovery option and choose that image instead. Worked great for me several times. Hopefully it does for you. Let me know if you have question.

I spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to root my Kindle Fire HD 7" tablet using various methods. I've searched numerous posts and tried several ways with no success.
I believe my ADB drivers are working properly because I am able to reboot the tablet from adb successfully. And in the Windows Device Manager it shows the "Android Composite ADB Interface" as my driver. But the command "adb reboot bootloader" just reboots back into the standard Home screen. And any fastboot command just gives me the "waiting for device" response.
I am on Version 7.4.8 of the firmware so I am trying to find a way to downgrade. I purchased it in November 2012 so it is the 2012 tablet. But every method I try just fails for one reason or another. So my question is, do I need a factory cable in order to get anywhere with this? Is it even doable with this version firmware?
Thank you in advance.
It is doable without a factory cable, the known rooting utilities people typically use are kindle fire first aid or binary's root. If you still can't get it to root, you can technically use a fastboot cable and kffa to restore it to a earlier is that os pre-rooted.

First thing you need to do is download the SDK package and set the paths correctly. Here is a video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
Once the paths are set then you go to where your tools folder is and hold shift and right click on your mouse and left click on "open command window here." Then type "adb devices" and enter. When you get a device number you will have proof your ADB is working correct. The fact you see it in your device manager is a pretty good sign though.
The command you are looking for is (must be rooted to use this command otherwise you do need a factory cord.)
adb shell su -c reboot bootloader
This is the command to check the whether fastboot is working
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
This is the command to get you out of fastboot.
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
No fastboot commands will work until you download the SDK package and set the environment up. You should be able to get into the bootloader though.

I appreciate your reply and information very much. However, I downloaded the SDK package and installed it over a year ago and have used Fastboot for three other devices numerous times. I used Fastboot with my Asus TF300T to flash recoveries, and return to Asus Stock on more occasions than I can count. I am currently running CROMBi-kk 20140323 on that same tablet. Just to be certain, I connected it just now as I am typing this and verified several Fastboot commands. I also have a Huawei U8800-51 and a Samsung S4 Mini Duo GT-I9192 and have used Fastboot commands with them as well.
So I don't think it is an issue with the driver not being installed correctly, or the SDK not being present unless it is a version specific issue. But the Samsung phone is much newer than the Kindle so I don't think it is that either.
So I guess that puts me at an impasse until I get a factory cable. Or I can just forget customizing the Kindle.

Okay, got it working. Not sure what the problem was but I reinstalled SDK-Tools and Platform-Tools using the latest version of SDK. I was then able to use KFFA to root the Kindle and do a full backup. Not sure why it didn't work before the reinstall since I used ADB and Fastboot with my TF300T as recently as a week and a half ago while testing CROMBi-kk. Also verified they still worked with that tablet yesterday. Whatever the problem, it was specific to the Kindle.
One more question. Is it necessary to downgrade from 7.4.8 before installing a second bootloader and custom ROM? Or is that just a precautionary step because some people have had issues.

Its kinda just a precautionary measure, to put it plainly, your kindle will bootloop into recovery if you do the process on 7.4.8, so unless you know how to use "Adb push" its suggested to put the rom and gapps onto the kindle ahead of time so it will be there when you start to bootloop into recovery. On another note, you do need to downgrade the bootloader though, if you use hashcodes method, please check the md5sum on the bootloader file before flashing it to avoid a hardbrick. If you used the fireflash method i wouldnt worry about it, just make sure you check off the downgrade bootloader button above or beside the red warning text.
I had these same issues. The device wouldn't boot into fastboot while it was <waiting for device>.
I did this.
1. Used Many Root Tool to gain root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
2. Placed the Rom and Gapps file on my sd card to be safe.
3. Used Anonymous.123's Tool up until the fastboot <waiting for device> malfunction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685414
4. Opened the Batch File for the Flasher Tool and copied and pasted the fastboot commands into a terminal with the Kindle in Fastboot. The only way I could get it in fastboot was "adb shell su -c reboot bootloader"
This will install the 4.2 bootloader so you don't have to flash back.
5. Profit 2nd Bootloader and TWRP
Good luck. You'll get it.
Sorry I Keep using the quote reply wrong. Havn't been on XDA in a while.
Okay, following Hashcode's procedure, I have successfully completed all steps up to flashing CM 10.2. TWRP works great and I made a backup from it. Not really necessary since I had backed up my Kindle three different ways and also copied all of my data to my PC as well.
But when I went to copy the TWRP backup to my PC for safekeeping I discovered that now I no longer have access to my Kindle from my PC's file explorer when I am booted into my Kindle. Prior to doing any of the steps here I could swap files back and forth without any problem. So how do I get that feature back??
I am running WIndows 8.1. This worked before I followed the procedures here. Also, when I pull files in adb where do they get stored??? Can't seem to find them.
Check the storage settings in CM you have to turn MTP storage in.

FYI: I am not tech savy at all so bare with me if I sound like a noob/idiot.
I basically formatted my phone from TWRP and I'm thinking there isn't any ROM/UI/kernel?..ect. so it cannot start up (basically stuck on the htc loading screen). My computer detects it but not as a storage device and I can't seem to find a way to access it. I believe I have what i need on my computer but my issue is that i dont know how to get into the internal storage of my htc one because it cannot detect it as a storage device on my computer.
The only trace of it at all i seem to be able to find is in
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers
Its called "android 1.0" and when i click on it, it takes me to its properties from device manager.
It says Location: Port_#0001.Hub_#0008
I dont know if any of this info i gave is relevant, if not, let me know what ups.

Here is some reading material for you
Bro..I completely understand your predicament..
Just do this step by step
1. Download minimal adb from the internet and install it on your PC.
2. Download twrp image from the internet.this is a recovery loader.
3.copy the image file into the install directory of minimal adb.
4.execute the minimal adb shortcut from your PC.it should open a command prompt.
5.connect your device to the PC via usb.
6. Type this command to check if your device is recognized. "Fastboot devices"
It should show you a device ID..if your device is connected and recognized
7.flash tarp image with this command "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>"
8.reboot your device..press and hold volume down at the sametime to get into bootloader.
9.enter recovery.
10.Download any custom rom from htconeroot.com.it will be a zip file.
11. Copy the zip into minimal adb install directory and run this command to push the zip onto your device. "adb push <image file>.zip any name.zip"
12. After this completes you should be able to see this image in the filemanager in twrp.
13.move the zip file into sdcard directory.
14.make sure all options are checked in the mount in twrp
15.install the custom rom from install option in tarp.
This is 3 frantic days of research on the internet bro..
I had a brick in my hand too..got it up and running VIPERONE ROM
Hope you get through this fine
Thank you, i really appreciate the effort! but im stuck on step 6/7. When i typed in fastboot devices, it didn't show any new id. and when i typed fastboot flash recovery twrp.img it says "waiting on device" so im guessing it still didnt detect it. any idea on why this might be happening? thanks

8.reboot your device..press and hold volume down at the sametime to get into bootloader.
9.enter recovery.
10.Download any custom rom from htconeroot.com.it will be a zip file.
11. Copy the zip into minimal adb install directory and run this command to push the zip onto your device. "adb push <image file>.zip any name.zip"
12. After this completes you should be able to see this image in the filemanager in twrp.
13.move the zip file into sdcard directory.
14.make sure all options are checked in the mount in twrp
15.install the custom rom from install option in tarp.
This is 3 frantic days of research on the internet bro..
I had a brick in my hand too..got it up and running VIPERONE ROM
Hope you get through this fine

Thank you, i really appreciate the effort! but im stuck on step 6/7. When i typed in fastboot devices, it didn't show any new id. and when i typed fastboot flash recovery twrp.img it says "waiting on device" so im guessing it still didnt detect it. any idea on why this might be happening? thanks

Ok..try this..
Press down on the power and volume down button to enter the default boot loader.
If you hv rooted your phone..it should be showing tampered at the top.
select the fast boot option..
Now connect your phone via usb..
The display name should change to "fastboot usb"
Then again open minimal adb and continue from step 6.
Make sure you have all the htc drivers for Windows installed on your PC.
Windows can automatically download these drivers for you if you don't have them..
All the best
Are you using Windows 8.1?
everything works now, thank you guys. You are all awesome!
1) get boot.img
from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...stock-roms-for-nord-ce.4296379/#post-85427971
a) install oxygen updater on phone
b) from oxygen updater settings turn on advanced mode
c) download OTA
2) move OTA to computer
adb pull /storage/self/primary/f90ffdf825051bb90cbec201868c32b4ae6ac6ec.zip .
3) from https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper
a) download zip and install payload_dumper
b) Maybe need to install protobuf and bsdiff4
pip install protobuf
pip install bsdiff4
c) extract the boot.img
in the directory with payload_dumper.py
python3 payload_dumper.py <path_to>/payload.bin
Points 4,5 and 6 are from https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-oneplus-nord-ce-5g/
4) push magisk apk to phone
adb push Magisk-v23.0.apk /storage/self/primary
5) install Magisk and patch boot.img
6) download the patched image
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched-23000_XARHP.img .
7) test image
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot boot.img
8) if the image work install magisk
on step 7) I get
fastboot boot magisk_patched-23000_D2y0e.img
< waiting for any device >
On another device (oneplus 7T) the fastboot command works fine, so I guess my tools work well.
How can I solve this?
(I run the platform-tools on linux, fastboot version 31.0.3-7562133)

Did you boot your device in bootloader?
Easiest way to do that is with cmd and following command:
adb reboot bootloader

That means your phone is missing device drivers, thereby your OS not recognizing the device when it's in bootloader mode. It is easy if a similar situation happened with Windows, but unfortunately, I don't know how to do the same in Linux.

Does the phone provide devices drivers? I'd expect the OS providing it. Anyway, I'll give it a try on Windows.

Again, don't know about Linux, but for Windows, yes. It does provide drivers. The first time I connected 8T on my Windows PC, it automatically showed an OnePlus drivers image, mounted like a disc. I used that for installing all the drivers (except EDL drivers). For EDL, you need Qualcomm drivers, which I got separately from the MSM thread (just check out any MSM thread of OP8/9 series).
PS: Unless you are planning to use the MSM tool for restoring the phone, you really don't need the EDL drivers.

I successfully unlocked the bootloader using Windows 10 now. I installed the android sdk platform tools and run into the same behavior as on linux. Connecting the Nord CE device in fastboot mode popped up a new device in device manager. The device driver was missing. I installed the driver after installing oneplus usb drivers for windows that I found in a OnePlus-USB-Drivers.zip on the internet (I'd rather download it from oneplus, but they do not offer anything like that). After that the fastboot oem unlock command worked as expected.
Usually oneplus devices provide the windows drivers in a separate partition that pops up on usb connection. But not on my Nord CE.
Wondered if i could request some assistance.....mines in recovery mode at the moment. Just managed to get twrp on there - ive found a few guides that have suggested flashing the individual compoments (which i tried) but got stuck half way down when some of the components would not flash due to being protected. As ive got TWRP on there i can now see that ive got 0mb for various areas including the storage...is there anyway i can format the storage from fastboot to give myself some space to load on a zip image and then flash from there?

The "TWRP" published here is incomplete and didn't help when it comes to reburning the ROM.
After a lot of research and experimentation, I think this is the best, safest and easiest way to recover from bricks.
