you should be able to access adb even without sideload

My device won't connect to adb no matter what I do.. It just says adb is out of date killing server, and I have the most updated adb too. I have the correct drivers too

Use the all in one toolkit and flash twrp, mount your USB in twrp using an otg cable. Flash the ROM from usb

Im having this same issue, after trying to flash android revolution on my unlocked/rooted rogers One, it froze on the successfully installed part and I had to wait for it to die to try to restart it.
I cannot boot into recovery or connect it to my computer in any way, ./adb reboot bootloader doesnt work it says cannot find device.
When I vol down + power the bottom lights just blink and the phone does nothing.
Any idea on how I can reflash the phone?

I have this same problem as well. I also believe I have bricked my HTC One (ATT) and I tried to flash the stock boot.img but when connected to my computer, the phone is completely empty with no download folder, apps folder or anything like it was on stock. I'm on TWRP Recovery but how to I reinstall the boot.img and fix the phone and put it back into factory settings?

[Q] HTC One: Think I've Fudged It :(

Hope this is in the right place.
I formatted my HTC1 like an idiot when I meant to wipe and am a little stuck.
ADB doesn't register on my PC so I can't sideload.
No installed ROM so I can't get into the system.
RUU flashes fail with a (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
Rooted, S-On and I have custom recovery images... TWRP and CWM...
I've tried everything I can think of and everything google can think of...
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
If you know someone with an OTG cable you can load it off a thumbdrive

The only thing I can think of then is to find an RUU for your phone hopefully. ADB Push/Sideload normally works in your situation. Try a different cable, different USB port, different computer

This guide saved my a$$ too, when I accidentally deleted my system folder. Try a different PC, it works all the time, it will work for you too.
And oh, OTG didn't work for me. I suggest you try a different machine.

do you have a windows computer?
you most likely just need to install some drivers and then ADB will work.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74163067/HTC ONE DRIVERS.zip
those are the windows drivers. unzip the folder. open device manager. see here http://i.imgur.com/9LeGRJI.png
right click the "htc one" > "update driver software" > "browse my computer" then select the folder where you extracted the zip to. it will automatically install the correct driver. do the same for "my HTC" or any other devices that appear in those two top-level menus.
Have been through multiple drivers, some of which apparently work but still cant find the device when i try to push or sideload.
Have just done a full wipe and am going to attempt starting again from scratch with TWRP and Revolution HD.
Just to clarify I have tried multiple ports and cables, even bought a new USB 3 card, I don't have access to another PC or Laptop.

Adb doesn't like usb 3, apparently.. Are you sure you're opening the cmd window from inside the adb/fastboot folder?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
sideload is working as I type... it seems flashing recovery as aposed(SP?) to just booting a recovery makes a world of difference, will let you know if the install works. usb3 doesn't seem to be an issue though.
Hussah! It works! Thankyou all for you suggestions and input it has been greatly appreciated!
To flash with adb you need to boot ur phone in recovery mode, not in the bootloader... Took me a while to understand that

[Q] Cannot push file to phone -- stuck in recovery/bootloader - Help Please [SOLVED]

Ok, so, I made a bonehead move and flashed a rom that wasn't for the sprint htc one.
was able to get recovery back on the phone by using the command line.
I installed the android sdk and put google usb on there, reinstalled htc sync for those drivers too, still my pc doesnt see the phone, but my phone does show fastboot usb, and I can fastboot reboot the phone. When I goto adb push the zip file, it says error: device not found -- same thing if i try to sideload.
I have the rom, I just cant get it on the phone
fastboot commands work...is there a way to push a file using that (like I did with the twrp file)?
or another way?
thanks!!

you can't use fastboot to push the file.
how about an OTG cable?
i'll order one just in case -- kinda hoping to get this thing up and running today though. Anything else I should try?

If fastboot is working, then so should adb in recovery. Can't really understand why it's not, are you sure you have the correct recovery? maybe check the Sprint forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one

I have twrp 2.6.3.0 touch recovery, which appears to be the right one. Its like the phone recognizes that it's connected, but the pc doesnt (tried my mac too)...except that when I go into command line, fastboot commands work fine -- so the pc must see it...and when I plug the phone in, htc sync launches, but then says no device is connected -- so it recognizes the phone enough to launch, but then nada.
i've uninstalled drivers and reinstalled them and they install fine. this sucks

do you actually use sync manager? i recommend uninstalling HTC Sync Manager, just keep HTC Drivers.
as far as i know, there are GSM and Sprint variants of TWRP, so you have the Sprint one right?
and remember, fastboot will only work in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and adb will only work in a ROM or RECOVERY, it will not work in bootloader.
i reflashed recovery with one that is for sure for sprint...now adb pushing the file...i think its working.
will report back when i know for sure

Maybe you just have driver problems. If you just want to unroot it's pretty simple supersu has an option for that

Install HTC sync. download android sdk. in platform tools folder run run your fast boot commands. If your computer can read the phone when booted to android I dont see how the port could be broken. If not you're SOL

Yes, I have a custom recovery installed, I need to get rid of the red text on the screen when it boots.
I got my windows vista lap top going again and installed sdk and HTC sync but I can't get my phone to show up in device manager so when I try to do a command in adb it says no device detected or something.
I'm losing my mind trying to get one of my computers to be able to fastboot, with my windows 8 I'm able to use adb and make commands to the phone but I can not get it to see the phone when I'm in the bootloader to fastboot.

You could use that link i gave you to RUU your phone back to stock without a pc. However we still need to get your fastboot drivers to work. YOu could try downloading the HTC One Toolkit by hasoon2000 and use it to install the drivers .http://rootzwiki.com/topic/105129-t...ne-toolkit-v31-7-28-2013-perm-rootnoob-proof/

Sigh, Im an Idiot after all these years with android. I accidentally wiped everything

So I rooted my phone HTC one verizon m7 with sunshine and towelroot and it worked. It has been awhile since i flashed and installed roms.
So I installd TWRP and roms , The rom wouldnt work and it would go back to TWRP. and I Forgot to back up/nandroid then i panicked - Accidentally wiped everything...now I'm stuck in TWRP with nothing in it. NO rom's no back up .
ADB sideload gets stuck trying load in TWRP or mount wont recognize on my computer. Please help. Will gladly donate if I can gee this fix in couple hours
Install this recovery http://mdmower.cmphys.com/download/317/?version=2.8.1.1
Then connect the device to your computer and you should see the storage connected as MTP. Copy your Rom to it like you do normally and flash. Maybe you must wait a little before the storage appears connected to the computer.

[Q] How to transfer files without a rom?

Hi guys,
I did something really stupid and formatted my whole phone, so I can only access TWRP and Fastboot! I need to get a backup from my pc on the phone, but I wonder how? I can't push files via fastboot and TWRP's MTP mode isn't recognized by my pc
Any ideas how to get any file/rom on my phone?

Twrp will recognize otg drives. You can push via adb in recovery as well so long as your drivers work.

That sounds like the charging screen. Adb push/sideload should work. Reinstall your drivers and make sure all other phones have drivers removed.
