PLEASE HELP: Can't get back into my HTC One!!!

Phone doesn't get recognized when plugged into my Mac. Can't get into my phone because it's stuck in "flash mode" and "recovery mode" I think.. These are the only 2 screens I can get to. Cannot get into my phone at all. http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/27/60/63506305015628/0/unlock-your-bootloader-root-your-htc-one-install-custom-recovery-using-twrp.w654.jpg and http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/88/14/63506304904836/0/unlock-your-bootloader-root-your-htc-one-install-custom-recovery-using-twrp.w654.jpg

Okay, followed this tutorial today (can't post the link but it's called "How to Root HTC One! [Mac, Linux, Windows Tutorial]" and no matter what I do I can't seem to get back to the actual phone (i.e., being able to access the main screen where everything is, if you know what I mean). I've tried going to the recovery screen and hitting reboot but it just takes me back to this TWRP page that has a bunch of options like "Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore, Mount, Setting, etc. I really hope I haven't screwed up my phone permanently. Please help me :crying:

I'm completely new at this and literally just started today, What does flashing twrp mean? I got to the end of the tutorial i believe. Everything worked great until step 28 I think.

well if you have this many questions .. I think you should stop and read the guides before you do something to the phone that can't be reversed.

The problem is I can't transfer any files into the HTC Sync Manager to be able to apply them to my phone because I can't get to the main screen, therefore it does not recognize my phone when it's plugged into my computer..

just quote me here I'll be with you ...your phone is not dead
you just need more info to get through everything to get back up and running

Okay... After reading a bunch of stuff, I still have no idea what I'm looking for/what I need to actually do. I'm trying to get my HTC One back to stock, and all the guides I'm seeing require the phone to actually be working (mine isn't, it's stock on the TWRP/recovery thing therefore I can't access any of my apps and whatnot). This is getting really frustrating.

Okay, I found a pic online of the part I'm stuck at.

[Q] Can't get recovery to flash

I recently tried to install a ROM on my HTC one and it seems to have soft bricked my device. I don't seem to have a recovery anymore so I tried to flash TWRP using fastboot. But everytime I try the command flash recovery, I get an error that says cannot open recovery.img. I have searched and found a few tutorials and i seem to be doing everything right but the recovery wont flash. Any help? My phone will not boot at all. Fastboot works but thats about it. When i click reboot it just goes blank then goes to the exact same screen. When I click on recovery it does the exact same thing.

Is recovery in the same folder you open the terminal in? If so make sure to type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Yeah. Its in the same folder. It gives me an error every time. I can't figure out why it doesn't work.

Did you happen to use the CM Installer to unlock,root, ect?
If you did you won't be able to flash any other roms or recoveries without running an RUU.

what recovery are you tring to install
if it's for sprint it should be: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
the recovery img should be in your fastboot folder
you phone in bootloader fastboot usb.

hmmmm... fastboot folder? This person needs a bit more than that, seemingly.
So, first, there is some folder (directory) in which your "fastboot" program exists -- let's call that "FastbootDir" for this discussion. Do this:
1) Download the latest TWRP (2.7.0.x), you can use mine, or the standard release, your choice: my build (with enhancements) or the standard;
2) copy that file *exactly* as it is (quit the renaming game -- fastboot does not need that -- it could care less what the file name is) to your *FastbootDir* folder;
3) Open your file explorer and browse to that same directory (your FastbootDir folder);
4) Right click in the file area and open a command terminal *as administrator*;
5) now type this in the command window:
dir openrecovery*.img
If that says "file not found" or similar -- you either failed to copy the downloaded file to that directory, or, well, you renamed it (don't do that!);
If it tells you file name, *that* is the exact file name you must enter into the flash command. Let's say you chose my build, which will say "openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.2-03-13-2014.img" -- then to flash that you will type:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.2-03-13-2014.img
If on the other hand you chose the standard build from TeamWin:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m7wls.img
That should do it. Report back if you have troubles.

I finally got it flashed. Thanks for all the help. I am a newb with HTC devices. I installed the ROM that I had on the device but now it won't boot up. All i get is a white HTC screen and "process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding". I have wiped several times and tried to install 2 different roms but i never get past the HTC screen. I can get to the lock screen but as soon as I unlock it the phone just reboots and I get stuck again. Any suggestions?

Suggest you flash a such rooted ROM just to start at a place of sanity.

Did you check all of your md5, and using your exact ROM? Are you m7spr or m7wls?

M7 wls. In not sure how to check the md5 sum. I was already on the bad boys rom so I know the rom was a good download. It just won't get past the htc screen.

Sounds like you flashed a GSM rom at one point and messed up your partitions.
I would suggest running an RUU and starting fresh.

If he tried to flash ANYTHING gsm you pretty much have to RUU... Are you trying to go GSM or stay CDMA? I would suggest viper ROM flashing in twrp 2.7.0 just to see what that does and if you can get past screen

I had to ruu back because no Rom would boot. I tried different roms but they all would get to a blank HTC screen. I could unlock the phone but the HTC screen would be there. The the HTC dialer would force close a few times then the phone would reboot. That happened on 2 different roms. Bad boys and on viper Rom. But thanks to everyone for the help.?

Don't respond there -- that's a dev thread, but honestly it's pretty easy. My suspect is you don't have the SDK (fastboot, adb, etc. properly setup). The fastboot program needs to be on your PATH, or you need to open a command window ***as administrator*** and make sure you are in the directory in which fastboot exists (e.g., type "dir fastboot*.*") and if it doesn't come back with something, you're not in the correct directory.

deleted, wrong thread.

QUOTE=nossman;55476580]Thank you! I have just installed brand new ADB tools etc. rebooted . . .[/QUOTE]
First -- could you *please* go delete the post you laid down in my TWRP development thread -- I specifically asked you *not* to do that. Dev threads are not support or Q&A threads and that post takes up a bunch of space totally unnecessarily. Sigh ...
Second -- if the command fails like that it means you have the wrong path to the file you downloaded. Do a file search for openrecovery*.* starting in C:\ and use the path it finds.

[Q] Flash back to Stock

Hi guys, I'll just start things off with saying that I am far from being anywhere near as technologically advanced as the majority of you so I would like your help if possible.
I had wanted to flash back to Stock and unroot my Moto X but for some reason I had gone into TWRP and decided to delete everything. Now every time I try to reboot from TWRP, it'll just say that the phone does not have an OS Installed and therefore if I reboot it, it will just stay on the 'Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I've read quite a few threads on various forums but I am unable to get my laptop to recognise the device in fastboot. That's my only problem so far as I've downloaded the Motorola Device Manager and all those other things but still cannot get my laptop to show the device for me to put the files into. When I plug it in, I am able to hear the sound and the device recognizes that it's been plugged in but I can't see it on my laptop.
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys and forgive my ignorance.

I've tried following the steps but I was unsure of step 3 where it says to download and install the proper firmware for the device but still unsure on how to install it. RSD Lite won't pick up the device nor will it show up when I type 'adb devices' in CMD. And finally, how do I go about turning on USB debugging when it won't boot up past the bootloader unlock screen?
Appreciate the help

Turn the phone off. Unplug it. Hold down VOL DOWN, and press power. The phone will boot into the bootloader. This is how you flash with rsd lite.
Adb does not work in bootloader, and isn't used for this. Once in bootloader (ap fastboot mode), rsd lite should recognize the device.
Make absolutely sure you do not downgrade to a previous version (you will brick), and make sure you flash the correct firmware for YOUR device/carrier.
You can only flash the same version or higher than what you were on before you erased everything.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately RSD Lite doesn't recognise the device in bootloader. Am I supposed to put the files into a certain place for things to start working properly and is it also because I'm using windows 8.1? I've already installed the Motorola Device Manager as well.

You said you downloaded moto device manager... Did you install it? If so you are one of the unlucky ones and will have to use the manual method with fastboot and mfastboot. Take it slow and follow the instructions. Leave out the config carrier line.
To make sure fastboot is working, type fastboot devices while in bootloader mode.

Yes perfect.
Run one command at a time - copy/paste them.
Remember to use mfastboot for system.img - regular fastboot will NOT work. Also remember to skip the config carrier command.

You my friend are a legend. Last round (hopefully) of questions though: where the code says to type in fastboot flash .... .gpt.bin and all those other things, am I supposed to put the files somewhere in particular? Because just regularly typing them into CMD comes up with (bootloader) Variable not supported! Then error: cannot open 'gtp.bin' or cannot open 'recovery.img' and so on but on the phone it says getvar partition-type:recovery or boot and so on.
Also the when the instructions say to use mfastboot, CMD says that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Thanks!

First: yes, you have to put those files in the same folder as you are running the commands from. If your command prompt shows C:\users\jimmy\
Then that is where the files should be! You should have extracted the zip file you downloaded to the same folder you are running the commands from.
Second, you obviously have not download mfastboot.exe (it is linked in the return to stock thread) OR you didn't put it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
The "variable not supported" messages are normal. The error cannot open.... errors are NOT.
I'm attaching mfastboot.exe (it's zipped - extract it to the same folder as everything else) to this post so you don't have to go looking for it.
DON'T move on if the first command doesn't work. Make sure each one gives success before you move on.

Awesome!

You're welcome....but that isn't normal. I suggest doing it again from the beginning. A full SBF to stock re-writes all the partitions and there shouldn't be anything "out of wack". Sounds like something went wrong....OR your device has physical damage?
Anyways, please consider hitting the "THANKS" button under any and all posts that help you. :good:

[Q] HELP. nexus 6 stuck in bootloader!

Alright so last night i was able to unlock my phone and root it no problem on my mac computer (which I regret and wish i did it on windows) but the phone worked great after. But after debating if I should unroot I went ahead and tried unrooting the phone but the phone would not activate, it became stuck in bootloader. Ive tried everything that I could look up online and even called google for help but they said to search online and ask the developers. Ive tried flashing the stock image back on but it wouldnt work, it kept saying ivalid boot image header fastboot reason fall-through from normal boot mode. I dont even think my computer is recognizing the phone anymore so I dont know how I would get back into terminal to flash anything. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I have no idea what to do now after trying for a whole day. Thanks all, hope someone can be a savior.

Firstly, if you want help... please please please use paragraphs and lines and not 1 blob of text. It makes it extremely difficult to know your problem.
Secondly, do not ever call Google or Motorola (or any manufacturer) or any carrier for help. What you do on XDA is not their problem, that is why there is a warning when you unlock the bootloader.
Third, if you're able to get into bootloader mode then you can fix your phone by flashing the stock images. You most likely had the wrong environment or it is not set up properly to flash the stock images.
If you don't feel comfortable doing this kind of stuff, stick to using the phone out of the box rather than tinkering with it.

Yea, my bad. I typed it in a hurry on my phone.
Bootloader is the only screen I am able to get into. Whatever option I choose and hit power, all it does is flash the screen and go back to bootloader.
The stock image I download was from the google developers page but it did not work.
Will anything even work if my computer doesn't recognize the phone? If so how would I go about doing it?
I used to this this years ago and never ran into problems, just for some reason when I tried to unroot it messed up.
Is there anyway to possibly delete the terminal so I could start over and re-root it??
Anyways thanks for your response.

Is the device recognized by the fastboot command when connected to either the mac or pc?

Not sure to be exact, if I just go into terminal and enter "adb devices" nothing will pop up but if I enter cd then space and drag the android file into it, it wont say my device number anymore it'll say device. I'm wondering if I could somehow delete my terminal and possibly start over?

Adb is for android. You want to use the command: fastboot devices

If you want to start over you'd want to be flashing the stock images https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Have your phone in bootloader mode (vol down + power)
Go into the directory with fastboot and type fastboot devices.
If your environment is set up properly then it should display your device as the output. From there you can flash back to stock.

You have to change directory to the folder that contains fastboot. Do you even have fastboot environment set up? You need that.
Google search on how to set it up before posting back. There are many guides on XDA on how to accomplish this.

Okay, your environment isn't set up ideally. Follow these instructions to install fastboot and adb on your PC.

open the google factory image file (using something like 7zip) : shamu-lrx21o-factory-e028f5ea.tgz
There is a folder in the .tgz file. Extract the contents of that folder to the directory listed for your command prompt (where you successfully ran fastboot just before).

The device will reboot. Don't close the terminal window. Now, extract the contents of image-shamu-lrx21o.zip to the same folder that you've been working in. The folder that contains the bootloader and radio files you just flashed.

I did it on my mac, if i try to connect my phone to a pc it wont recognize it because its stuck in bootloader. I have already tried connecting it

Why does this thread make me LoL so much?
This thread is all over the place. Are you using your PC or Mac right now to do this? If it is a PC, what does Device Manager say when you plug your phone in while its in Bootloader mode?

Im using mac right now. I want to start from scratch, not sure if possible. but nothing really shows when I connect the device. I think I wipe the software off my computer. Would I be able to start doing it all over on a pc even if its stuck on bootloader and computer wont recognize?

Honestly bro, if i were close to you, I'd just do it for you. I have the stock image, drivers, and adb/fastboot all set up. i'm good at fixing things, horrible at explaining things.

Bricked Nexus 6 please help ASAP!

I just bought a Nexus 6... Unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone.... after realizing there were some issues with the phone I decided I would try and download the PURE rom for the phone... I installed TWRP recovery and tried to flash the image. When the phone booted back up it said that the data was corrupt, and to enter a password. Entering anything seemed to work and I would then reset the phone... but the same thing would come back up.
So I decided to try and wipe the phone again and re-install the ROM... after that it wouldn't load at all, came back with some kind of error.
Then I decided to do a full wipe of the phone and try and re-install the factory image... Problem is... I haven't tried to do anything with a phone in like 2 years and well... i'm having trouble on trying to figure out how I can restore the factory image. I have the SDK tools installed, the phone drivers are also obviously installed, but can someone help me try to reset to the factory image.
I only have like 3 hours to try and accomplish this from now because after this I have to get on a plane and won't be around and will also leave me without a phone... Can someone please help me as soon as possible? Thank you so much!! I could use somewhat detailed instructions but not crazy

Try nexus toolkit by wugfresh can't go wrong. If you get error missing system.img while flashing go to options then flash then click force flash. The toolkit will download all needed steps and flash without a problem

dont use a toolkit. you are guaranteed to learn nothing, and doing it the right way is just as fast(and easy). plus, root toolkits mess up often. dong it right never messes anything up.

Nexus device can almost never be bricked, I say almost never because of the people variable, but if you can get it into bootloader mode it is easy to bring back. just follow the instructions above.
I agree that even though wugfresh tools is the best out there. I have used it before. You learn nothing about what needs to be completed.
I could never get the drivers to work for me in most cases. I use ubuntu and it always works running the manual commands.

Ok so I have tried to run the flash-all.bat file and it says in the command prompt it is an unrecognized command...
I'm assuming I must be missing part of the ADB tools? Ugh help!

first thing to do in adb is run the command "adb devices" to make sure that adb sees your device, does adb see your device?

It says list of devices attached and then nothing....
Can someone give me a short step by step on what I need to do here? I'm really running low on time, this is really bad....

wait.. you are flashing the factory img, you do not use adb for that. you boot into the bootloader then use fastboot for that. adb doesnt work in the bootloader anyways, use fastboot while youre in the bootloader, and type fastboot devices to make sure fastboot sees your device.

@simms22 is correct, tool kits make you learn nothing, and you get posts like this.
However if you are time contained. As much as it pains me to say this. Use the tool kit. And learn on a time when you can.
Download Wugs toolskit and flash back to stock images. And you'll be fine.

Update your SDK if u haven't already.
Unzip factory images and place in platform tools folder of SDK. (Unless you have environmental variables set correctly)
Open a command prompt from that directory (place cursor in empty space, hold shift and right click on mouse)
Boot into bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

not really.
if you know anything about what you are doing, its one thing, use a toolkit, enjoy yourself. if you have no idea what you are doing, the root toolkit is by far the wrong way to go. as you will still know absolutely nothing, and will learn nothing. and pretty soon, when you have some simple maintenance to do, and you have no idea how, you start thread about having your device bricked. and im sure that you personally have not helped out hundreds that have started threads about having their device "bricked" after using a root toolkit. i have.

you probably have to unzip it twice, if there is another zip within that one zip. and you can try not using the word fastboot, as i also have ran into fastboot programs where it wasnt needed.

with a silly post like "Different strokes for different folks!!!!" you definitely arent posting like someone your age, as thats what a child would say. im not young myself. anywho, you can not tell me not to respond, lol. ill respond to anyone who posts as silly as you. i have nothing against you, nor are trying to get at you, im simply responding to your silliness.

OP... The password was a numerical representation of your pattern unlock since you were still encrypted. The key is in the first post of the TWRP thread.
Now...extract the factory image until you have boot.img radio.img system.img and recovery.img if there is a bootloader img flash that first.
Flash bootloader with fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
Reboot with fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash boot system and radio respectively with fastboot flash boot/radio/system boot.img/radio.img/system.img one at a time.
Finish with fastboot reboot and you sgould be all set.

op got it flashed, and ended up flashing his rom as well. so, he was successful

I hope saying use a toolkit didn't start an argument, only said to use it because he had a time restraint..

no, it didnt start an argument. but he ended up doing it the right way, then flashed his rom. then flashed a different rom because his rom was so so. but really, even if theres a time restraint, if your driver is installed properly, it takes about 3-4 minutes to flash the boot.img
