Possible Bricked Phone

I am really hoping someone can be of some assistance to me, today i managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root the phone, i then stupidly downloaded and installed a boot animation from ROM Toolbox lite and went to TWRP and tried to flash it, it came up failed, tried to reboot but it only boots into recovery, tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory reset,system and format data and still it only boots into recoverywebt to advanced tried to install it said HTC Dumlock is installed but still boots into recovery,tried reflash to recovery abd restore original boot but still it wont boot up as normal, how can i get the phone to just boot up normally does anyone know?
I am such a twat im usually fairly careful when it comes to this type of thing, it'll be a nightmare if i have to pay to leave it into to get done.

Calm flash a custom rom after a full reset and it should work
If you're having issues putting a rom on your device it's possible through adb sideload with the AIO Toolkit

If you do a factory reset, you remove the Rom element so ideally as I previously mentioned flash a new Rom problem solved

Yeah you need to flash a custom rom - you've wiped system so it won't ever boot no matter how many times you try otherwise

Thanks mate can you be a little bit more specific as to how i can put a ROM on the phone as ive never heard of that AIO toolkit?

If you enter CWM recovery, theres an option called install zip from sideload. Press that and then plug it into your PC, and in CMD type
Code:
adb sideload <location of rom.zip on PC>

I use TWRP i assume that has the same adb sideload?
I am downloading Android Revolution now, so if i create a folder on C drive called c:\android then the ROM is the the img i flash when i open a command?

I presume, I've never used TWRP and yeah correct.

OK i am in ADB sideload now when i open a command and type adb sideload i do not know what else to type, i have saved both the boot img and the full zip file (Android Revolution) in the c:\android folder?

When you type adb devices does your phone show up? Have you installed the correct drivers

see the attached, i aloso tried to drag and drop the boot img to the command window and it wouldnt work, then tried the Android Revolution ZIP and it prompts me to use winrar, wtf am i doinf wrong, all i need to know do i use the boot img or the actual full zip file and i need to know what the exact location to type, i created a folder on c drive called android.
I am in an internet cafe too so i cant stay all day just another hour or so.
thanks

I am gonna have to leave it for now as its doing my head in, i wouldn be grateful if someone could post some specific instructions later and ill attempt it tomorrow, everything appears to be ok when i type cmd then
cd c:\android
adb sideload (what is thew exact name of the file i need to enter)

In the folder 'Android' which you cd'd to, is there adb.exe? And you dont use .img you link to the actual rom zip.

Buddy before anything else could you please put/attach/upload the flashable zip of the bootanimation you got from ROM toolbox?
It is better that we know first what partition it has overwritten so we could distinguish what we need to fix.
I understand that usually the system partition is the culprit but reading from the thread that is all pure guesses. It could be you overwritten a different partition that resulted to this.

[Q] Looking for help. Cant boot phone, recovery nor use adb commands.

Hej guys. I really hope that you can help me with my problem
Have been trying for 2 days and looking at post but haven't been able to get it fixed.
Here goes.
I have been playing around with custom roms on my htc one for a while now.
Then when i was about to install a new custom rom, i first wiped my phone.
I properly wiped something that should not be wiped, because i ended up with no os and no custom rom zip file that i could install in twrp.
I then tryed sideloading revolutions, and it seemed to work because it ended up booting on the phone and i could select what programs too install with it... but halfway through it stoped and rebooted.
now i cant even get into recovery anymore, and booting the phone only gets it to htc briliant logo. Then it restarts and tryes going into recovery, but it cant, and ends up just restarting over and over again.
Tryed flashing cwm and twrp again, but still cant get into recovery.
adb dont fint my device, and i have tryed all drivers i could find.
Tryed using a RUU, but it fails. Properly because its not the right one, but cant fint one that fits.
Sooo... i think im in a real pickle right now.
my radio is :4a.14.3250.13
hboot: 1.44.0000
Thinking about going back with my phone, but with the warranty gone i dont know if they'll even look at it.
Hoping for some advise, or some ideas on what to do.

Well, im really just trying to get an os flashed back on the phone so i can boot it, either by another custom rom or a stock rom.
But since i cant use adb commands, how do i get a new rom on there?

So I'll try here first. I am having the same issue, I can't get the device to boot into recovery, no matter if I clear the cache, or flash either one of twrp or CWM.
I unlocked the bootloader, I think used the all in one toolkit to flash the recovery. When that didn't work, I erased the cache and manually flashed the recovery, and it said it pushed successfully.
I am at a loss, I have no idea what to try next, any help would be appreciated.
******Finally got it, I had to disable Fast Boot in the Power options in Settings******

How do you copy update.zip from external to internal SD?
Sorry if it's a total no-brainer, but how do I manually copy a recovery zip to the internal update.zip? Can I do this from my phone (which is stuck in a bootloop: see below)? Or do I have to use ADB with my computer?

My situation:
Using Open Recovery I tried to install CM7 with custom kernel on my XT720
It gave an error: "assert failed: write_raw_image... Status 7" As I was looking that up, my phone blackscreened. After a while I pulled the battery.
Then on startup it went into a bootloop after a picture of a broken screen saying "2ndboot kernel restart in progress." (Presumably the kernel wasn't properly applied?)
Trying to boot into bootloader says battery is too low.
Phone will only turn on when plugged into outlet.
What I think I need to do:
- Copy a good update from my external SD over the bad update.zip on the internal SD, and apply the update to reset the kernel, etc.
- Open Recovery could do this, if I could load it.
- I could load Openrecovery if I could get the bootloader to run,
- I could get the bootloader to run if my battery would charge

[Q] No OS, not rooted

So, my dad bought an HTC One from a seller on EBay. The phone was originally on Sprint, but it was unlocked; when he got the phone, it didn't work initially, and after he and my mom trouble shooted for a bit, they got it working. Those are the only details I know; I don't know what the problem was.
After they got it working, my dad did something to the phone, and it froze up completely. He let the battery drain, and then I went to work. When I got back, he had wiped the OS, and the only thing it can do is boot into TWRP v2.5.0.0. I don't know what else he did, or what else he tried.
Here's my problem; I can't flash a ROM on it, because, somehow, it's unrooted. Every time I power it down, TWRP says "Your device is unrooted." I researched a bit on how to root it from that point; but, to do that, you need an OS, which somehow, I do not have. It seems like, to get the phone rooted, I need an OS, and to get an OS, I need it rooted.
So, I tried do use the ADB sideload that a lot of people recommended. I downloaded the SDK packages, I ran Command Prompt, I've tried it at least 30 times by now, but it will not pick up the phone. When I do the "adb devices" command, it has nothing listed. I tried pushing the ROM anyway, just to see, and it fails because, again, "no devices found." I've tried wiping the cache and dalvik, rebooting into recovery, and trying the rooting and the ADB stuff over again, numerous times, and neither one works.
The only thing I haven't tried is doing a RUU; but, before I do that, I decided to ask here, and get some help. The RUU seems extremely complicated, and I don't even know if it will work.
I'll be the first to admit, I really don't know much about Android, or any of this. I've flashed ROMs, and that's about it. So, can anyone tell me what I should try, and if the RUU would work? If it would, can you link me to a guide?
Thank you!

If you hold down the power button while pressing the vol- button, does it load the Bootloader, a white screen with options.

Are you using Windows 8.1? Because if you are fastboot only works on HTC devices with 1.54 and up on 8.1. I was messing with my DNA this weekend and realized that adb picks it up if I'm in twrp but if I'm in the boot loader I get no device found. I also have an HTC one which isn't rooted and adb can pick it up in Windows 8.1 in normal debug mode and while I'm also in the boot loader. I'm using usb 2.0 so make sure that is what you plug it in to. Otherwise, there are driver issues with adb and fastboot in 8.1 and htc has not updated their drivers for it.
Other option is to download a live CD of Linux and try sideloading a Rom through there.

If you're problem is not having root , then try flashing a supersu.zip through recovery. That should enable root access you're able to enter recovery.

I thought twrp provided root, anyways theres any option in advanced I think you can sideload a rom via adb push. It's something like adb sideload "name of rom sideloading.zip" and I don't think you need to be rooted to sideload.

Root doesn't come with recovery and can be lost sometimes upon flashing a new rom. That's why the supersu.zip exists.

Yes upon initial install. But I know some ROMs which say you lose that root access after flashing it and tell you to flash the supersu.zip in order restore it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a root checker if their root files could be deleted? I'm pretty sure it's built into the recovery. I could be dead wrong, never ran into a custom rom that's never been with out root.

i dont get why you need Root to install a ROM? flash a ROM in TWRP by going to Advanced -> ADB Sideload. have a ROM on your PC where the adb and fastboot files are and type in "adb sideload name_of_rom.zip"
select reboot system when it is flashed, when it asks for root select "Do Not Install", and it should reboot into your flashed rom

My initial understanding was that OP could not get adb working to sideload a Rom. Usually twrp will ask upon reboot to install su if it detects root has been lost.

If you can't get adb to work, then you should buy a USB-OTG adapter.
With the USB otg you would be able to connect a USB-Stick to the one and mount it in the recovery.

I downloaded a file called "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip" from a website called "chainfire"; I'd post a link, but I can't do that until I hit 10 posts.
Then I installed it, and it was successful. Then I tried installing a ROM; and it failed again. Then I wiped everything, rebooted, re-installed the SuperSU, rebooted, and tried installing the ROM; it failed again. Also, every time I restart, TWRP still says it is not rooted, and gives the option to root it. I always opt to root it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also noticing, when I try and flash the ROM, it does this:
"Updating partition details...
Installing '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Verifying zip signature...
E: Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'

Could it have something to do with this MD5 check? Or maybe this Zip signature verification?

there's an option in TWRP where you can toggle signature validation off/on. try and turn it off then run the zip.

Root is needed AFTER you install your ROM. I think you have a corrupted zip file. Sideload a ROM but after you download it check the md5 to see if its downloaded correctly. You needed to read more bro. Sounds to me you are very new to this.

You actually don't need root to flash a Rom. Sounds like a bad download like the other dude said.
Sent from my HTC one using XDA Premium HD app

You should be able to install any rom you want as long as you're able to flash zips from the recovery, even if there's no OS installed, that just means the system and boot partitions are empty and they can be easily filled with a rom zip. And root is something that comes with the rom or something you can install after you flash a rom. You don't need root to flash if you can already boot into TWRP.

[Q] Deleted data, new installation fails

Hello,
yesterday I accidentally deleted the data partition on my phone (M7 model)
I coudn't get adb dideload to work so I bought an usb otg cable.
Now when I try to install a rom (hd android v51) I always get an error after aroma closes:"set_perm: some changes failed)
Can anyone help me installing ANY rom to get my phone working again?
thx

Hey, no worries. Just adb push <nameofrom>.zip /data/media/0/ then it will take some time, when it says its successful just go to that path and flash it like a normal ROM worked for me and I hope it helps you.
Make sure the ROM is in the same folder of adb.
Happy Flashing from the proud owner of a HTC One.

The newer ROMs require latest custom recovery. E.g. ARHD 51 definitely requires it. I had TWRP 2.6.3.1 and had errors and all errors went away using 2.6.3.4

I did it twice after the first time took well over 30min+ just sitting there writing. I restarted the bootloader and fastboot and tried again. No luck.
Now after getting into TWRP, I am unable to mount the device or have adb see the device. I get the error: 'unable to find storage partition to mount to usb'.
How should I go about fixing this?

What was on your device before this?

Also, questions should go in the Q&A section. I asked for it to be moved for you. ?

Tell me that you used "Mfastboot" to flash system.img. You can not use regular fastboot to flash system.img....

The same firmware. I just wanted to refresh the device.

I did. I followed the instructions in The Complete Moto guide for reverting to stock.

And, what was on the device before trying this?

4.4.2. All I was doing was factory refreshing the device by reflashing 4.4.2 again.

You could try Rsdlite. ?

If I get can get a ROM onto the device, I think I can flash it. I can get into the bootloader, I have tried using both CWM and TWRP.
I just can't mount the SD card. I think if I can get ADB to work, then I can do it.
The only problem is that adb won't see my device. I hear it beeping when I plug it in but when I type 'adb devices' it doesn't show anything.

Alright I got ADB to see the device in recovery. I can't get it to mount but I am now sideloading a rom. Let's see if that works.

...adb doesn't work in the bootloader. Only booted into android w/USB debugging enabled.
Check the md5 of the SBF file you are trying to flash.... If necessary, re-download it.
I also agree with @KJ that trying RSD Lite is a good idea.

Good choice, best ROM I've found mixed with xposed/gravity box. Word of advice make a nice fresh backup so you can always get back to what you have now, even save the backup file to your hard drive so you'll always have it if your phone gets wiped.

i am having same issue ,how dod you solve?
