Help! Accidentally deleted internal storage on Philz. Lost my backups.

[SabalSabal]

I was using Philz on my one m8 and I accidentally pressed "wipe all data/factory reset" and so my nandroid backups don't exist anymore. I have some on my laptop but when I connect my phone using usb, the phone doesn't even show up. All I can do is access recovery because technically there's no rom in my phone anymore. Please help, what can I do to push my old recoveries on my laptop to my phone or at least restore my phone to stock.

Welcome to the forums. You can load a flashable .zip file to an SD card, insert it into the M8 and then flash it that way. That will at least get you up and running.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I don't have a micro sd card slot in my laptop. I've been looking online and it says that I have to use adb. I'm not that advanced in the android arena and I wouldn't know how to do this. Could you (or anyone at all actually) please help me with this. All the online tutorials use twrp as the example recovery and I have Philz. Also where do I download ADB and fastboot from (I have the HTC Drivers in case that helps) and will it work considering my laptop doesn't even recognize my phone when plugged in using usb.

By the way my m8 is the gsm edition. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

I think your best option is to invest in a card reader that handles SD cards

You can get card readers that plug into USB ports. Then get a micro SD Card (they should come with an adaptor).

I gotcha covered buddy, you can sideload a rom and RUU if you need to, side loading will fix you right up.

I tried to post a link but my thread count disappeared, guess I haven't been on for a while but if you search XDA for sideloading you will find instructions.
