How to flash firmware on a Oppo R5 without partitions, OS and adb not working

Hello. Today i wanted to update my Oppo R5s R8106 from ColorOS to Mokee.

First i had to install Project Spectrum V1.1i Beta, and here it was fine.

Next step, i followed this guide to install CM (as someone on Oppo forum told me that the procedure for Mokee is the same).

Here i had problems, because TWRP for oppo r5 were not working (volume down + power button weren't getting me in recovery menu). I tried all the version for this phone from website but nothing.
So I tried to flash the CM recovery image from the nightly page of CyanogenMod for Oppo R5s and here i could go inside recovery menu.

Next problem now, was that for every zip of Mokee i was trying to flash, i got a message like "can't install this package on top of incompatible data" and here i did a big mistake: i did a factory reset which erased me all system partitions, data, and everything (also zip files of ROMs).

Looking on internet i saw that it was possible use adb to create again folder on /data/media/0 (emulation of sd card) and load zip that i can use from recovery to restore again the OS. The problem is that now, when i type "adb devices" i see my device "unauthorized" (before my mistake i could see my phone), so i'm not able to load zip on my phone. Tried to kill server, reboot, delete .android folder... nothing works.

I tried fastboot update <name_of_my_zip>.zip but i get message "archive does not contain 'android-info.txt".
I tried to put inside an empty txt file named like this, but now i get "archive does not contain 'boot.sig', archive does not contain 'system.img'"
I tried to fastboot these zip files: R8106_Spectrum_V1.1_Beta_full_wipe.zip, R8106EX_11.A.16_OTA_INT_016_all_150806_wipe.zip , MK60.1-r5-160801-RELEASE.zip, cm-13.0-20160803-NIGHTLY-r5.zip but i always got these errors.

The only thing that i can do now is flash CM recovery or ColorOs & ProjectSpectrum recovery .

Unlukily, any of these recovery allow me to mount folders from my pc.

So i would like to ask for your kind help to know how can i load zip file on my phone, or how can i install a zip from fastboot, or how can i get adb work again or if there is a tool for flash oppo (i remember there was something like this for Xperia...) or if do you know if there are some where some firmware which are good to be flashed with fastboot.

Many thanks

[Requesting Help] [Noob] Flash Stock Firmware on SM-935A (AT&T)

Hello, all! I recently got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T Model (SM-935A) from Best Buy, and I somehow decided to root it (Me being an iPhone user, I don't know anything about Android). Anyway, I ended up rooting the phone, and later, a Samsung Update popped up. Right after I denied it, my main apps (Caller ID Name, and Google Play Store) began to crash and fail to start up at all. Nothing was working as all apps were crashing. When I pushed restart on the phone, it booted through the 'custom' logo, then to the AT&T logo, where it stayed like that for hours. I noticed how hot the phone turned and put it in the refrigerator (After all, the phone is waterproof, right? ;_;). I searched on the internet, and there I found that I could full-wipe the phone out, which seemed reasonable to me, as I had not completely decked out the phone, yet. So after full-resetting the phone, I still saw the 'custom' logo, and all of my content was gone. As usual, I downloaded, and put back all of my accounts, and soon enough, another update came round, and my phone broke down... Again. So I repeated that step of wiping out my phone again. This happened about 3 more times until I decided to flash-fix my phone, or something akin to that term. I downloaded the required files of ODIN and software from this website, but instead, it still failed with the 'ODIN protocol version failed!' error. I do not understand this issue nor do I know how to fix it. I hear that XDA is the world's best developers at Android or something so I have come here as a FINAL RESORT! Thank you for reading, and to whoever may know, please help! (If you need pictures, I will be happy to post them!) :D

Cant flash some ROMS on Sprint S5

I just got an S5 with OG1 BUILD. Twrp recovery 3.0.2-2

Im having issues flashing roms. MOAR 7.0 gets to the aroma installer part n reboots. Nothing more. Cm13 gives error 7 code.

Im finding it difficult to find just exactly what roms the sprint S5 can run. I find a few but its kunda scattered. (Am i missing that section?)

Resurection Remix flashed just fine btw.

What can't FlashFire flash from Nexus 5X factory images?



I want to have a rooted stock Android Nexus 5X with stock recovery. I also want to keep my boot loader locked. But I've read that automatic OTA updates don't work on a rooted phone. Then I found out about FlashFire.

But I also read that FlashFire doesn't allow flashing of the radio and boot loader. Chainfire himself said "FlashFire can flash both bootloaders and modems on most Nexus devices. However, I would only flash the modem and not the bootloaders, to be on the safe side. Or, use the full size OTAs available from Google rather than the Fastboot package, and circumvent the issue (those flash both bootloader and modem if necessary, with less risk when doing the bootloaders)."

So I've got 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to flash everything, including the radio and boot loader on the 5X?
2. If the boot loader is flashable, what are the potential drawbacks of flashing it with Flashfire instead of fastboot?

Thanks

[Q] Flash to stock with full reset

Sorry to start a thread for something that I think is simple. I want to update my S5 to the newest PF4. I was on a rooted 5.0.1 before. I didn't care about keeping root, etc.

I used SamFirm to download the newest firmware. Then ODIN to flash the newest firmware.

The result was it upgraded my phone to 6.0.1 instead of a clean install. In the old days, I recall having to clean cache, clean Dalvik cache, and maybe some other steps.

I simply want to nuke my phone 100%, and load it with the stock firmware PF4.

If I reboot my phone into recovery I see Wipe Date/Factory Reset and Wipe cache partition. I envision that is what I need to do, but looking for confirmation. Also, does the order matter?

[Q] i cant get TWRP recovery installed via either , SP Flash tools nor Fastboot

I did everything that was stated in the how to's but to no avail. additionally i cant get TWRP installed via fatboot, i have checked and crosschecked usb debugging and unlock OEM , but i cant get it to work , with SP Flash my phone pops up and vanishes in the hardware manager withing fractions of a second so it doesnt work with the sp Flash , in fastboot it wont let me download to recovery even if i use the command line oem unlock , because the volume up button that you have to use to accept[yes] doesnt work , only the vol down[no ] button has an effect, anyone any ideas anyone?
?
