I've read about every thread that I can possibly imagine and still nothing is working. Here are the details:
Sprint
S-ON
HBOOT 1.55
TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery
******** If you don't care to read the more elaborated story then skip to the ********
It all started with the new OTA update. Instead of unrooting my phone, I just decided I would download ARHD instead.
Somehow I managed to download ARHD 41.0 which does not support Sprint. I realized this after I flashed the rom and was stuck in my lock screen (it also showed that I had no service, as if my phone wasn't activated with sprint). If I tried to unlock the lock screen it would display the boot logo and then reboot after a few minutes.
After I realized the problem, I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup (Stock) so that I could try again. It then prompted me that my phone was not rooted and I need to download SU, I tried but it wouldn't work and the phone kept going to lock screen(no service)... boot logo... restart again.
Now I'm freaking out. I try to copy over the correct ARHD 31.6 rom with debug, but it doesn't copy over fast enough before it reboots on me. I try relocking the bootloader and then unlocking it again, flashing different recoveries to try to mount the sd card but nothing else would work. I reflash TWRP and somehow during all these attempts I manage to fully copy over the ARHD 31.6 rom. I flash the rom but I'm still in the same boat. Lock screen(no service)... boot logo... restart again.
So I had the idea of flashing the latest firmware and seeing if that would solve anything (maybe it deleted everything I needed when I relocked and unlocked my bootloader again?) but now when I try to copy something over with the few moments of debug before it reboots, it doesn't even allow it. It says the device is no longer connected, but I can still view the files and folders on the sd card, just not copy anything over. So now I have to figure a different way to transfer files to my sd card, and that's how I ended up in this thread, with more problems.
I originally downloaded everything on my D drive (storage) so obviously the drivers didn't work since my OS is on my C drive.
******** My phone still will not show up in adb devices. I downloaded all the drivers on my C drive, even though when I plug my phone in the MTP driver won't download, does this matter? Even though it still gives me the option to view files on my sd card? I'm positive I've done every step correctly from this thread, I even tried the adb push name.zip/data/media/0/ and still nothing seems to work. I'm willing to pay money at this point to get this phone up and running again. It is my main means of communication for my job and is essential. $$$$ PLEASE HELP I've been reading articles all weekend now and nothing is working!
UPDATE: turns out the firmware zip file I was trying to transfer over was corrupt, so I still have about 2 mins. in between each reboot to try to transfer files over through debug. I could still use an answer as to why I'm not showing up on adb devices.
