Mounting storage in recovery

So I managed to screw up by wiping both my data and my system, so now I have no os installed and no way to flash an OS from .zip files. Is there anyway for me to add a file to my storage and then flash it via recovery?

Download a rom and put it in your adb folder
hold in shift and right click on your adb folder - 'open folder in terminal' or similar (not at my computer atm) should be there
Type
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Or
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
both must be done in recovery. If you do the sideload method, choose the sideload option in recovery - once it transfers it will begin to install automatically. 'adb push' will put the file onto your sdcard then install it yourself in recovery.

It says device not found.

What about if you go into fastboot in the bootloader screen and type
fastboot devices
Maybe you need to reinstall your adb files...

then you need to install HTC drivers for your phone. If configured correctly you can do adb devices and it will show up.
If you have drivers installed correctly under device manager the phone shows up as My HTC. Make sure you aren't using a USB 3 port if your computer has one.

Reboot your computer. That worked for me. I did the same thing
Also download HTC all in one tool kit. Its a lifesaver.

no only fastboot commands.

So then where do i do the adb commands? In the recovery? I don't get why adb devices isn't giving me anything when fastboot is.

No, adb must be done in recovery.
Go into recovery and try
adb devices
If nothing shows up you need to re-install/update your adb files and HTC drivers.
If your devices shows up this time then do what I said earlier...

You can either reboot the computer or stop and restart the adb service from the windows management console. The driver for fastboot and adb are the same so I suspect it's something with adb server acting up

I'm guessing you update adb files via sdk manager?

Very, since clicking on the micro-otg doesn't do anything. I managed to get sideload working I believe. It's at 40%, hopefully it is sideloading the file.

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.

Full Panic Mode. Boot Issues + Format

Hey guys,
I done ****ed it all up.
Was in my TWRP recovery on my One, was wiping the phone to prepare for a new rom. Unfortunately, I was stupid and didn't realize that I was formatting it instead of wiping it. Now, I have a useless chunk of beautiful metal.
I can get into TWRP, but cant really do anything from there. It wont connect to my PC ( I dont see it under My Computer ) so I cant move any roms over to flash. I feel like I'm missing something very simple here.
Any ideas?

Adb sideload from recovery, advanced option.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

Dont panic as pablo11 have said, you can use adb sideload to sideload a rom.
Boot into twrp go to advanced, then adb sideload and swipe then on your computer open a command line where you have your folder for rooting the htc one (where fastboot is etc) and put the ROM you want to flash in that folder and type adb sideload ROM.zip and you should be good to go!

ADB Sideload
What is ADB*sideload?
ADB*sideload is a new feature that was added to AOSP*recovery in Jelly Bean.* As of version 2.3, TWRP*now supports ADB*sideload mode.* ADB*sideload is a different ADB*mode that you can use to push and install a zip using one command from your computer.* Most likely*ADB*sideload won't be very useful for your average recovery user, but ADB*sideload can be a huge time-saver for a ROM developer.
How do I*use ADB*sideload?
Have a recovery installed on your device that supports ADB*sideload like TWRP*2.3 or higher
Have newer ADB binaries installed on your computer.* If it's been a while since you installed ADB on your computer, you may need to get the latest ADB binaries in platform-tools from*the Android*SDK.* You will need version 1.0.29 or higher.* You can find your current version by typing*"adb version" at the command line.
Set the device into ADB*sideload mode. In TWRP*you do this by going to Advanced then ADB*Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page.* It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device.* As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed.* When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.
Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB*mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.

[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
