Hello all,

as the title says, I'm stuck in TWRP recovery after wiping my rom to revert to stock... then realising that the recovery doesn't recognise the image as it's a .tgz file.

I've tried to ADB into it, but no such luck, I just get error: device not found.

Does anyone know a way I can fix this?

I've also tried the adb sideload feature of TWRP to no avail.

Thanks in advanced guys.

Go to bootloader and run "fastboot devices" and see whether your device gets detected or not? If it does, then flash the factory images. System and boot img files would do the job.

If it doesn't then you need to fix the adb, fastboot issues first. Follow these threads:

If you have an OTG cable with you, you can directly flash the rom from a usb stick!

Flash the factory image through fastboot. Download and run flash-all.bat (something along those lines)

'fastboot is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

Also, i'm trying this from the PC just to be clear, as I can't boot my phone lol.

soon as i run flash-all.bat i get the error i put on the first line :(

Too Long. 15 second installer is the best way to get adb and fastboot. See previous post

Thanks for the help guys.

RootSU, you saved me haha, was sat at work stressing trying to sort the mess I made out!

I'm all stock now... But the screen keeps going off because of the proximity sensor haha -_-

Thanks again though. Can always count on a Yorkshireman :p
