[Q] Installed ROM Cannot Boot to ANYTHING - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed a ROM today and when it rebooted, I was unable to boot into the rom or recovery. How can I fix this? I don't know what I can do at this point to fix this. Any help at this point will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 1: Currently it is just in a reboot loop trying to get into recovery.

Try accessing fastboot and command
fastboot erase cache
And then maybe re-flash your recovery/rom

[RESOLVED] Bricked m7ul

Hello guys, I really messed up my phone.
I was trying to relock, and unroot my phone but it didnt go as planned.
Long story short, I cannot flash ANYTHING through CWM or TWRP (latest versions) and none of my files shows up in either of these recoveries. When i push a file through adb i get an error code on both. I believe that CWM said it cannot mount E:/SD Card.
I also have nothing to bootup to (bootloop)
I really need my phone and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just calm down buddy... This is the second thread you've made so far. Now I'm going to help you and I dont want any of your money. I just want you to agree on one term and that is to not make another thread about this.
That sucks balls MyMonkeyBalls..
Yeah, has happened to me too, I had to send in to get fixed, been 3 weeks so far.
Have a read over the forums for mine and others same issue, there are tips on how to fix but this is becoming very common at the moment, I can not offer any suggestions because everything i did did not work
Good luck

LOL!!

what build of CM10.2 was it (example: cm-10.2-20130809-UNOFFICIAL-m7ul.zip)?
Kernel?
Firmware? (or Hboot#)
Do you have nandroid?
have you tried to go to stock?
S-OFF?
locked/relocked/unlocked?
logcats? (twrp or cwm)
ATT, TMO, Sprint, GPE, etc?
Any other info?

cm-10.2-20130815-UNOFFICIAL-m7ul_doubleTap.zip
Kernel that came with the ROM
1.44.0000
I dont believe I have a nandroid anymore, if i do it would be TWRP's.
I cant get back to stock
S-On
Unlocked
No
Bell (unlocked)
Nothing is showing up in Twrp or CWM its like i have nothing installed on my device. I have a constant bootloop with the cm10.2 boot animation.
I believe it all started going crazy when i tried to go back to stock and wipe the data (i did a factory reset from hboot as well as cwm)

Okay well that rules out the simple.
Now lets see if i understand the situation correctly. If you try to boot into system all you get is a CM bootloop and custom recovery's show an empty sdcard? You say adb commands dont work but have you tried fastboot commands in fastboot mode yet?
Try:
fastboot devices
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-recovery
Dude - he's done a factory reset from the bootloader which has wiped his virtual sd card. You basically need to format it back into a fat32 partition so the adb side load will work.

So what do I have to do sorry
I've done this before a long time ago now myself and was able to fix it because I could still boot into my rom and windows would offer to format it for me.
There used to be a guide in the One XL forum with a step by step even a youtube how to fix it - just trying to find it now.
Edit: Okay found it - full props to XsMagical for this fix.

It's for a One XL but the principle is the same as they both use Virtual SD Cards.
Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot
Download the stock recovery from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7byetxqc2ogzqq/recovery144.img
Make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery144.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running
Go into fastboot
fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can go into recovery and try sideloading a rom and then flashing it.

[Q] HTC One Brick?

Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

wherever you put it, didnt you unlock your phone using "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"? that would be the folder (often referred to the adb sdk)

Sorry I'm just panicking an awful lot. I'm a bit calmer now though so I'll crack on. I've got TWRP back up and I've tried to install the ROM but it keeps saying failed. Is therre any way to make my phone available to transfer to so I can try a different ROM?
EDIT: It seems I did make a backup with TWRP, I'm assuming that wouldn't show up on CWM? That seems to be working so I'll count myself lucky. I would very much like to get stock android 4.4 though so do you know of any detailed guides for getting that with TWRP on HTC one?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I completely panicked and I would never have figured any of this out without your help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

SOLUTION those stuck in a bootloop with locked bootloader & TWRP

Hi All
Got into a bit of a situation when I re-locked my bootloader and got stuck in a loop, unable to unlock it because of the developer settings option. I had nothing but the TWRP screen bootlooping.
Anyway, sorted it out for those who want to know how. In the bootloader run the commands "fastboot format cache" and "fastboot format userdata"
Then choose to boot into recovery, it'll work and you'll be in TWRP. From there you can flash a ROM, enable the setting in developer options & unlock the bootloader!
Credit goes to geologic in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/warning-locking-bootloader-disabling-t2951312/page5
Good news to anyone having alternative recovery. Unfortunately will not work with stock recovery
Great thanks
Sorry for my poor english (I'm french). Great thanks for your solution. It works fine for me... I was afraid during a few hours to be forced to throw away my Nexus 6....
Thank you for that information. I was in the same position and your instructions helped me get my device working again. That Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options flag is a real game changer for those of us who are used to flashing our devices and one must be very careful.

How can you use fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata when the bootloader is locked? I'm on an N6, but I've had 0 luck with that.

You just can. It allows it.
Just went through the same thing and can confirm that fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata got me back into recovery.
However, Recovery was showing 0MB storage space so I couldn't push anything to the SDcard for install. @rootSU recommended that I go into wipe and perform a full format (the one that requires you to type "yes"). I did this and my storage was back to normal and I was able to push a ROM to the SD card and flash it.
Problem solved!

Note that if this works, it will wipe your SDcard.

Possible brick? Assistance please.

I broke the screen on my Verizon Nexus 6 and our internet went out today, but I wanted to flash it to stock before going to Verizon and seeing if they'll replace it. So I had a stock rom on my phone, flashed that, then locked the bootloader. I wasn't thinking about the recovery... So now, I can't unlock the bootloader because when I try to boot up the device, the TWRP screen comes up, but it just boot loops back to that screen. All I can boot into is the bootloader but without adb access, I don't know what to do.... Anybody have any ideas?

From bootloader use the fastboot commands:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
This will allow you back into TWRP and you can restore a backup or flash a ROM. Then you can start over.

Ive been using a custom rom for some time all working fine, today I thought Id try another so I booted to recovery, full wiped and flashed another rom & gapps package.
It seemed to install and TWRP promted to reboot system which I did.
Now the problem begins, it only booted to the black google screen. I hard reset to get into recovery and everything had gone including internal storage.
I was able to push my rom and gapps zips to data but when I try to install TWRP throws up errors about unable to mount storage data etc...
I tried flashing latest TWRP and erasing cache, but still same problem.
So I have no idea how to turn this paperweight back into a phone!
Try
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata

Thank you very much rootSU
I was trying to find the adb help guide you posted before, thought I had it bookmarked but I didn't and now I remember the name rootSU.
You helped me out once before when I had problems with my DHD.
Thanks again, very much appreciated.
