Root [AT&T] Accidently erased OS, tried everything could use some help

CrazyRide

Lurker
Ok well it all started with my wanting to root my phone so i did everything unlocked bootloader etc. did everything properly only to find out at the end i was getting "no root access" so i kept trying to reroot clearing cache etc until i accidently cleared system also and now i have nothing but a phone with unlocked bootloader and TWRP v.2.6.0.1 ive tried so many things google searching trying to get my os back i even adb pushed a rom only for it to bring me to htc screen upon startup and stays there until i turn it off or load into bootloader recovery etc.

Any and all help appreciated!

Thank you
 
If you have successfully installed a rom,you possisbly just need to manually install the kernel.

If you have not done this,remove the boot.img from the rom file and put it into your fastboot directory on the pc. Put the phone in fastboot and install.with this in a cmd window:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Aside from that "ive tried many things" doesn't tell us much. Well need specific details on what you've tried,and what errors or results occured from each of those things.

I clearly now how to flash the boot img like the title says "erased OS" which means I wiped my sdcard but I fixed it myself took me forever to get my computer to recognize adb command but after hours or playing with it i finally got to adb push a nandroid backup and restored the OS

Thanks anyway

i am well aware of what "erased OS" means as well. however,you stated in your OP:
i even adb pushed a rom only for it to bring me to htc screen upon startup

since your comments on exactly what youve done were vauge,i assumed that if you were able to push a rom,that you were able to flash it. since a hanging at the splash screen is a common result of an incompatible kernel, it was a safe bet that you maybe just needed a boot image. there is no mention of trouble with adb/fastboot connecvtivity,so thats why i offered you no advice there.

sorry we didnt get to you sooner,but since you hadnt updated your thread with a solution,i thot maybe you were still in need of help. glad you are sorted. :)
