Unable to sideload a file to One Plus One. What are my alternatives?

Question

I have a oneplus one which had CM 13 installed on it. The recovery is TWRP. Last day I tried to install Kali Nethunter ROM on the same from recovery. However things got messy and the phone didn't boot. To make things worse, I by mistake wiped everything on the device.

So I now have A device with NO OS and NO Data.

Then I booted the device to recovery and tried to use sideload. However the device wasn't getting detected on my laptop. Following commands resulted no positive results.

adb devices [no devices connected]

adb push [failed]

adb sideload [failed]

Since the device is not even getting detected as an unknown device in the USB port, I tried installing the universal adb driver available. That also didn't help.

What could I be doing wrong?

Answer

You can flash the phone in fastboot mode.

First you need to unlock the bootloader (if it wasn't done before):
- PowerÂ off yourÂ phoneÂ then boot into fastboot mode with powerÂ button + volume up button.
- Connect yourÂ phoneÂ to yourÂ PCÂ viaÂ usbÂ cable.
- Open a command prompt
- Check your fastboot connection by issuing this command: fastboot devices
  It should return yourÂ deviceÂ serial number, if not you need to make sure yourÂ driversÂ are installed correctly.
- Once you've confirmed your fastboot connection issue this command:
fastboot oem unlock

TheÂ deviceÂ will now go through the automated unlocking process, just let it do its things.
- Done
  1. Flashing thee CyanogenÂ OS Fastboot Images
- DownloadÂ the latest stock images
- Reboot yourÂ deviceÂ into Fastboot Mode (powerÂ + volume up) and connect yourÂ phoneÂ to yourÂ PCÂ viaÂ usbÂ cable.
- Unzip the file you downloaded and put its contents into your fastboot folder.
- Open a command prompt.
- Issue these fastboot commands (Every line ends by hitting enter):
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn

fastboot flash dbi sdi.mbn

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
