I'm a dumb ass-I erased internal storage and now there's nothing on my phone to flash. I'm still in recovery (TWRP), not sure what to do next. Tried to connect my Moto X to the computer but nothing shows up. I installed Moto Device Manager and still nothing. Any ideas for this dumb noob?
Help. I stupidly erased internal storage now don't know what to do

I don't know if you are like me, but if you are then you need to calm down first, otherwise more mistakes might happen.
Nothing bad has happened, yeah it was kinda stupid to erase the internal memory but so what, everyone does stupid stuffs :laugh:
Just download the ROM, whatever your carrier based ROM is, from here, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Then open ADB and follow the instructions here, Method 1 is recommended, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515.
If you have drivers installed on your PC, which I suppose you have, then as soon as you go into bootloader mode, your device will appear on ADB.
That's it.

Without Philz recovery OTG is not available. I assume you have no system to boot? You wiped memory after you wiped data & before you flashed. RSD & XML restore time.
Does your twrp have USB mount? I think not.

From twrp choose reboot to Bootloader which is "RSD" mode/ap-fastboot already.
Thanks for the reply. Did you mean to attach a link for the adb (Method 1)? Not sure where to find that. My phone is not being recognized by my computer either
I'm not sure what you mean by all this. I wiped system, data, internal storage all at once.
Damn, sorry, edited the post. Your phone is not recognised when it's in recovery, which is TWRP, but it might be (should be actually) recognised when you enter bootloader mode (vol down+power), that is if you have the drivers installed.Thanks for the reply.

Oh! okay, let me try that.
Are you sure I should reboot into bootloader? When I choose that in TWRP it says, "There's no OS, are you sure you want to reboot?"
Right, same results.
Philz cwm recovery could have saved you. It has OTG & USB mount. You could have mounted internal memory from recovery to your PC/Mac then DL a ROM to your now empty internal SD then unmount & flash ROM.
Get it?

Ignore that. In any case you should always be able to enter bootloader mode. It doesn't require an OS, at least that's what I think.
You can just hold on to vol down and power for eight seconds from TWRP manually, that should enter bootloader mode anyway.
He can still flash Philz recovery, then load a rom that way. Download THIS. Reboot to bootloader. Flash recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.56.2-moto_msm8960dt.imgYep, if he has the drivers installed then he definitely can flash Philz successfully.
Didn't even know Philz existed for X, goodbye TWRP
thanks for this but i cannot get my phone recognized by my computer. I have installed (several times) the Motorola Device Manager, but to no avail...
There's a flashable recovery zip HERE. Flash that in TWRP, then reboot to recovery. Then hopefully your PC will recognize it so you can copy a rom over. That's all I can think of ATM.

Thanks for attempting to help me. The only problem with this is, how do I get the file to my TWRP if I can't transfer any files from my computer to my phone?
Just asking, you are opening ADB and then can't see the device right? I mean I am sure you know that you won't see the device just from OS, Windows, Mac whatever you use.
I mean you are typing this right?
Code:
adb fastboot devicesI wasn't doing it that way. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I need to reinstall my adb cause it's not working right. I'm just a noob who doesn't know how all this **** works. Damn, makes me feel so stupid.
LOL.....yeah....forgot. My bad.
Now that I think of it, I've had ADB issues and fastboot still worked. Have you gone to the bootloader screen while connected to the PC and done this to see?
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
adb devices
Code:
fastboot devices
