[Q] Am I (soft) bricked? Can't mount SD in recovery

Hello,
I've been unlocked and rooted for a few weeks and all has been good. Not sure how I did this but I seem to have now bricked my phone though. I can only get my phone to boot to CWM recovery, not to boot properly. Also - while in CWM I get an error E: Can't mount /sdcard/ .
This means I can't copy a ROM to the phone to flash.
Any other way I can get around this? My phone is an unbranded HTC One on T Mobile in the UK. Any help would ne majorly appreciated!!

Did you find a way around as i m stuck too in recovery cant mount external sd card...

Try with the command:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard

^^if that doesn't work I would try going into recovery and trying to install from sideload
adb sideload name_of_your_rom.zip command on your PC.
Make sure name_of_your_rom.zip is in your folder with your adb files.

Cheers for the help guys - I'll give it a go

Sooooo, possibly getting somewhere.
Basically I can now see the sdcard from within CWM. However - I can't push anything to it via adb.
If I go into fastboot and type 'adb devices' I get no devices found. However - typing 'fastboot devices' does see the device.
??

You have to use adb command in recovery..

Hmmmm, still the same.
I'm beginning to think I've bricked it. Fastboot commands from Fastboot work, but can't get adb commands from recovery to work.
Wonder if I use a different laptop...?

Reflash the recovery and upgrade your adb with the latest...
Or try the sideload method.

Don't mean to offend, but are you running the commands from within the folder in cmd?
ie. My adb folder is called android and it's on my desktop on my mac so I would type:
cd /users/my_name/desktop/android
before I would write any commands.
Try clearing your cache in recovery also

Your not offending me! I do work in IT but readily admit I'm a NOOB when it comes to Android and ADB.
When I try to sideload I get the same error: device not found error.
I'll give clearing cache and reinstalling the Recovery a bash

No offense taken RedBull, I'll gladly admit I'm a newbie when it comes to ADB (but I am in the right directory).
I'm so close to fixing this, if I could just, somehow, get a rom onto the phone I could flash it and away I go. How I wish the One had a removable card since I can't get the phone to be recognised (error: no device found) when using ADB and Recovery. However, weirdly, I can push different recoveries using AIO kit (but can't use it for anything else). Also weird how FASTBOOT recognises the phone, but Recovery/ADB doesn't
Would a USB OTG cable help? I'm guessing not.

I haven't tried this myself, but ClockworkMod Touch is supposed to support USB OTG:

As is TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870&highlight=usb+otg
Just remember to plug everything in before you enter recovery
'fastboot erase cache' before flashing a new recovery

And if USB OTG works i could use it to copy a file from a USB drive to my phone?

Like i said - i haven't tried it, but there is an option to install a zip from external sdcard in recovery, so it may be that.

Use hasoons toolkit, it has option to sideload. Just make sure you select sideload in recovery. I had the same issue but I was on twrp . Hopefully cwm has side load option

regarding the device not found error, check if the adb interface is installed in the device manager. may be you have to install it manually .
Also i had the same issue with the sdcard (not able to access), i have wiped the Data partition because sdcard is included inside (in /data/media) of course you will lose all the files in sdcard.

[Q] Help, NO OS, How to push ROM via adb on mac?

Hi, guys I followed all instructions after bricking my phone, it only goes into twrp recovery, i don't have an os and i cant put the rom in device via usb since it wont recognize it, But I tried to push the rom via adb and using terminal like this:
/Users/BARKIN/desktop/Android/adb push slimbean.zip /sdcard/
etc, but it wont work, i try listing devices, it says no device found..
I USE a mac btw, help me out?

Since you have twrp find adb sideload and do it that way. If you need more info Google adb side load twrp.

With adb sideload it does not matter it will work as long as you can use adb commands
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

So, step by step:
-Boot phone into TWRP
-Select Advanced, then ADB Sideload, swipe to start it
-Connect USB to Mac
-Launch command prompt on Mac
-"adb devices" should detect the phone.
-"adb sideload slimbean.zip" should flash the zip

USB not showing up in cwm recovery

My phone recently lost its ROM, and is now stuck on the 'HTC quietly beautiful screen', i did manage to get it into clock work mode recovery and have a backup of my old rom on a usb, however, when i plug in the USB before starting the phone it doesn't show up, meaning i cannot restore. Please help! Any help or feedback is much appreciated! :good:

When you're in recovery, you have to use the command:
Code:
adb devices
for see your phone.
After use adb command like push or sideload for put a rom into the phone

Thanks, but how would i do that on a mac?

That's why I have parallels!
I had this problem the other day and I fixed it by going to data/media in recovery and installing an old Rom that was downloaded. I could then restore afterwards.

I am not sure what a binary is (HTC One is my first android phone so I'm new) but if it is the recovery mode, i only installed it about a week ago

Do you have the folder containing the adb and fastboot files on your Desktop? And do you have HTC Sync installed? It will load the proper drivers, even though I heard it may not be necessary anyway.
This method worked for me on my Mac. It is very simple using Terminal.
You don't actually have to download the whole SDK, just download the file attached in the threat, which is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1396782&d=1350078941
Place it on your Desktop, and follow the instructions. After ADB successfully lists your device, move the ROM file to your android folder and use the following command: adb sideload rom.zip of course replacing 'rom.zip' with whatever your rom's name is. You can also use adb push if you want to move your Nandroid backup to your device, but I am not sure where it will be located on the device itself afterwards.
Oh and you should be in TWRP > Advanced > ADB Sideload mode if you want to sideload the ROM. I am not sure how it works on CWM but it should be the same way.

[Q] Device Brick!!! HELP!

I think I bricked my phone.... :'(
I was running Android Rev 61.1 and then my screen started to flash and then it would reboot. It kept doing it and so then I decided to try to wipe my phone and install Android Rev 6.1 GE and then it would get to the "pick a language screen" and then after 2 or so seconds it would shut the screen down and if I press the lock button then it would reboot.
I went to format my storage and then (like a complete IDIOT) I formatted the whole thing causing me to lose all my ROMs on the internal storage.
Now I can't put any ROMs on it cause the only place that I can access without it rebooting is the TWRP recovery.
I'm soooo stupid....
idk the ROM was really messed up..
Any way to load a ROM onto my phone (like CM) while I'm in recovery?
I am trying the Android Revolution method.
I have the mini-sdk downloaded and put on my c:\ drive. I download the HTC Sync Manager to get the drivers and after that I run the cmd.exe in the mini-sdk folder. When I type in adb shell it puts out the line ~ # ←[6n
What do I do then?

Bump.... Please help?

Happened to me two weeks ago, and like you I panicked best thing to do is go into TWRP, and in advanced settings turn ADB sideload. Now open the latest fastboot in cmd (you need the newest, else it wont work). and type "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/" (without the " ofcourse)
rom.zip is the rom name and should be in the fastboot folder.
adb will sideload a filename called sideload.zip to the root of your phone.. You can install this like any regular rom

Yes this is what you have to do

[Q] HTC One - Custom Recovery not mounting storage

Hi,
I've looked everywhere for a solution but couldn't find one that helped. I was trying to flash a mod via TWRP custom recovery (followed all the instructions, wiped dalvik cache etc) but when rebooting, |the phone got stuck on the HTC One logo. I can access the custom recovery but when trying to mount storage, computer -running Windows 8- doesn't seem to do anything. Also made the mistake of not making a nandroid backup beforehand, so just need to be able to flash a ROM. Tried to adb push the file, but it gives me the error 'device not found'.

Delete... Sorry, I did misread it.

A lot of people have issues with getting drivers to work on Windows 8. Probably easier if you know someone who has Windows 7 and install the drivers on that

Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Maybe you could try this one here, solved this problem for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
You can check if adb can find your phone with "adb devices". If there is none, you have to check your drivers again.
I then used adb sideload in TWRP. Start it when connected and type "adb sideload update.zip" (or whatever your zip is called). He will load the file to your root /data directory. You can install the zip from there then.

Thanks
Thanks for the answers! I'll try using another computer that's not running Windows 8 - I have a feeling its a problem with the drivers.

Same problem here, when i type fastboot devices the serial appeared but i cant push files like the stock odex rom, cant, i found out i cant access my internal memory, is there a solution for that?
Thanks!!

Fastboot and adb are different. You can only adb push from in a Rom or in recovery
