CWM/RUU Error, everything is formated

Hi, i've a problem, but i'm sure there's any solution.
I wanted to update CWM to 5.8.3.1 (recovery_1.28.img). But there are lots of errors. It can't open or mount /cache and it can't also mount USB.
I installed lots of custom ROMs before, and everytime i'm installing one, I format EVERYTHING and mount the USB Storage and copy a ROM.zip to sdcard.
But i can't mount it and now i've a "empty" phone. I can relock or unlock the bootloader, can go into the bootloader/fastboot/recovery.
When I'm installing a RUU, there's a Bootloader Version Error 140. I think that's because it's a 2.3.5 RUU. (..Runnymede_O2_DE)
What can I do? How can I do it?
Flash it via fastboot, recovery adb?
Downgrade HBoot?
Sometimes there was a "Remote: signature verify fail" error.
Please help me.

Adb the ROM.zip to your SD card. And then flash it

Thank you for your answer
But,
how can i move it? (i can only use adb recovery)
I just clicked on "choose zip from sdcard" and CWM says "E: Can't mount /sdcard/"
I'm sure it worked three hours before, but i tried out so many and nothing worked, i wipe everything again, if something happen i'll get back

In recovery with your phone plugged onto The PC. Rename your ROM zip file you want to flash just name it ROM and then Copy it to adb directory on your PC. The in command prompt CD to your adb directory and type 'adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/'
It will sit there for a while. But be patient. Once its done find the ROM.zip under the choose zip from SD card choice in cwm.
Here is a thread to explain what I mean. Has screenshots too. Although this is for the one s. The principle is the same.

I think that's the solution, but it can't mount /sdcard
It can mount cache, data & system...
I've a CWM Backup from March, can I use it??

Unless your on the ICS hboot, you should use older recovery.

Did i brick it already?

Like an idiot i flash a mod for a de-odexed ROM to my stock ROM UK Three M7. So stuck at the boot screen.
The problem is i cant seem to do anything about it. I have no back up (I know !!!), no ROM file on the device to flash and i cant seem to push anything to it.
ADB just says no device found even though it was working ok. Can anyone help? Ive tried it on multiple PCs.

AW: Did i brick it already?
Go to recovery Mount your memory to pc. Copy a Rom. After that flash Boot img via fastboot and then Rom from recovery.

Yeah it wont mount, nothing happens.
I cant push anything if it wont mount obviously, i could try doing it from external sd via OTG cable.. but i dont have one.

AW: Did i brick it already?
Did you tried with ruu?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

As understand it if you have an S-ON device(i do) you have to use the right onee or it will fail.Its Three branded unit,so i need a three RUU. There isnt one out there.

RUUs only work if adb can see detect it
Have you tried going through fastboot? Just fastboot some boot.img to get it to boot, then put a ROM on your sdcard

It sees it now. I can get into recovery (CWM) and fastboot, but i have nothing to flash on the phone, i cant get anything onto the phone to flash! I try ADB sideload, it gets to100% but it says..
E: Can't open /tmp/update.zip
(bad)
I tried pushing to the SD card but the recovery then doesn't see the ZIP, its just not there.
/sdcard wont mount in CWM, nothing happens.
I tried a boot.img from the Maximus thread.

Ok its now accepted the sideload! Ive installed the ROM and its rebooted...
Its back!!!!!!

If you could get into recovery, theres a toggle / enable mass storage mode too? You couldve done that to mount your sdcard

I think it won't work

Yeah there is no toggle in CWM and the stock recovery I reflashed was only a test build, and didnt actually do anything.
Well its now working again fine. I dont really know why it worked, but it did. It was suggested i try the Aroma file manager first, which sideloaded OK and let me browse the file system. I then re-downloaded the ROM I was trying to use (Maximus) and tried that. It worked with no errors, although the Aroma installer crashed the first time through, which I understand isnt unusual on the One.
Seems i didnt need to access the SDcard at all, it was just a problem with sideloading. It may have been a corrupt ROM download.
Needless to say i now have a CWM backup, Titanium backup and a ROM file on the SDcard just in case.

You cant mount USB storage in recovery on the HTC One, you can only use ADB Sideload to send the ROM if your stuck in a bootloop or if youve erased the system partition:
I have uploaded the latest binaries to my dev host account.
1. Download and extract these to a directory and copy the rom over into the same directory.
2. Boot up your phone into twrp recovery or a recovery that supports ADB Sideload.
3. Select advanced and adbsideload (Your phone will be waiting for the file transfer.)
4. Open command prompt in the above directory you created with the binaries and rom.
5. Issue command "adb devices" (You should get the serial number with sideload next to it)
6. Finally issue command "adb sideload rom.zip" (rom.zip will be the name of your rom)
This will start sending your rom to the handset and will automatically install.
Hope the above helps

That's what I was doing, it simply wasn't working. It might have been a corrupt ROM download.

Could very well be. Happens more often than you would think
But the mass storage thing is strange....I've seen it on almost all recoveries, but i know TWRP no longer has it in their newer builds, maybe the same thing happened with CWM?

[Q] cannot root

i just purchased an HTC ONE and was successful in unlocking and installing TWRP..whereas i flashed TWRP via fastboot...
when i rebooted into recovery everything was as good as expected but ran into a problem installing superuser via recovery..
when i start recovery and i come to the start screen,,,i click on install but cannot access the superuser.zip file..it does not find the superuser.zip file...and if i try to browse for that file it will not let me mount the storage,,,it will only let me mount the internal storage where the superuser file is not located...
when i click on "install zip from sdcard" it shows E:cant mount /cache/recovery/command as well as
E:can't mount /external_sd
i have tried to install different recoveries and they seem to work fine but i get the same thing when i try to install superuser.zip
it seems to me that i am not able to access that specific partition where the .zip files reside
hopefully i am just overlooking something simple but i've been round and round and cant seem to work it out..
i have had an evo 3d in the past and successfully unlocked/rooted/and installed ROMs before so i am not what some might call a newbie at this..
BTW,,,,i installed Hansoon2000's HTC One All-In-One Toolkit and started to tinker with that as well..there is an extra where one can sideload a ROM so i figured i'd try that to see if it would load the superuser.zip.
it found the package,,opened it,,,installed it,,copied,fixed permissions,symlinked and showed the installation as complete..but alas no root...
any help would be greatly appreciated

Try using the toolkit to sideload a Sense-based ROM, they come already rooted.

what is the point in that ,,,,if i wanted to install any rooted apps i would not be able to..
there has to be someone with this same issue..
it seems that i am not able to get superuser to install to the correct partition

My thinking is that you wouldn't have to install superuser.zip - the ROM has it pre-installed already. Where /what folder have you saved the superuser.zip you're trying to install? Also, try clearing cache/davlik cache

All-In-One Toolkit try it again install cwm then permanent root i had your problem that worked for me had to do it 3 times to push super user

i have my device unlocked and TWRP successfully installed
i put this file (Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox.zip) on my thumb drive and tried to install it from OTG but with no success..when i do that i lose my recovery and have to reinstall that via fastboot

i just tried the AIO toolkit again to reinstall TWRP and to have it install the superuser files...
everything goes as planned but after the TWRP install it reboots onto fastboot where i am supposed to enter recovery,,,but when i do it says that i am entering recovery but never does,,,therefore it will not install the superuser files..
the only other way i can get a successful recovery install is if i flash one via fastboot,,,but then i cant find a way to install superuser ,,once i enter recovery when i click to install a superuser.zip file i cannot find the one i placed on my phone ...
in the video tutorials it shows that when i chose to install the superuser.zip file i navigate to the download folder,,,,but there is not such folder.
i placed the superuser.zip file on a thumb drive and navigated to it and clicked on it to install,,,it said that it installed but it didnt,,,i assume thats because it needs to be placed in a system folder

FINALLY !!!!
OK,,,i finally got it all wroking,,,i think,,,,,LOL
i followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236620
come to find out that the partitions needed are hidden and are set so where one cannot write to them...

[Q] E: Unable to mount '/cache'

I just updated to TWRP 2.6.3.4 on my Sprint HTC One, in order to flash KitKat, and the corrisponding CyanogenMod Nightly's, but in doing so I wiped everything off my phone. So now I can get into TWRP, but have no ROMs to flash... I tried sideloading, which didn't work, so then I just used adb push to get my files into data/media, which worked.
Now Im trying to flash the .zip files for KK and CM11; KK flashes just fine, but when it gets to CM11, it gives me errors like:
Code:
E:Error executing updater binary in zip 'data/media/cm-11-20140129-NIGHTLY-m7spr.zip'
Error Flashing zip '/data/media/cm-11-20140129-NIGHTLY-m7spr.zip'
updating partition details...
E:unable to mount '/cache'
Failed
I've tried flashing KK before CM11, and after CM11; but no matter how I do it, it fails on CM11.
Anyone know whats wrong with my phone? How do I fix this so that it'll flash CM11, or any KK ROM?
Any help would be great, as my phone is useless right now...

Ok I got it all sorted out, thanks a bunch!!!! It all had to do with having the wrong kind of TWRP on here.
If anyone stumbles into this thread with the same problem I had, heres what I had to do, on ubuntu:
1.Install all the android SDK, adb, and fastboot stuff. adb and fastboot both needed me to download stuff when I tried to use them in the terminal, so I just said yes and it worked fine. Fastboot requires you to use "sudo Fastboot".
2.Boot to H-BOOT, and flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 m7wls, which you can get from the TWRP website if you google TWRP 2.6.3.0 HTC One
3. If your ROMs are gone, like mine were, use either sideboot in TWRP, or the "adb push" command in Terminal, to add them back to your storage. I put mine in /data/media. (sideboot never worked for me, adb push was way more reliable.)
4.Flash your Rom and the gapps, and you should be good to go!
The commands are easily googled, but in case you can't find them:
sudo fastboot erase cache
sudo fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
adb push XXXX.zip /data/media

Cannot install Xposed in Z3Compact? Read this.

Good Night,
First of all, I hope this will be of use to someone
I own a Z3 Compact which I rooted yesterday. I followed the steps detailed in here, and today I was getting ready to start using XPosed but I am unable to install it, since I am getting a nice :
SD Card: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip...
Mounting /system writable...
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
Could not mount /system writable
Trying to continue anyway...
cp: can't create '/system/bin/
app_process.orig': Read-only file system
Failed to create a backup of /system/bine/app_process
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I followed every step, even flashed the part specified at the FAQ that asks me to flash RICDefeat.zip
FAQ
- Some root apps don't work, because /system can't be remounted rw, what's up with that?
Sony has a special in kernel protection that disallow remounting /system read-write, even for root. Flash this in recovery (copy it to the sdcard and reboot in recovery with volume UP pressed, then install it): https://github.com/dosomder/SonyRICD.../RICDefeat.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So since I could not get through, even after following every step, opted for a different Installation Mode, to see if I could avoid that by flashing stuff instead
Installation Mode
Classical (write to /system directly)
Recovery (flash zip automatically)
Recovery (write zip to SD card, flash manually)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've tried all three methods
- The first one throws that error
- The second reboots the phone without flashing a thing,
- The third one ... well, it says the following
SD card: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip...
Copying Xposed-Installer-Recovery.zip...
Copying XposedBridge.jar...
Please flash Xposed-Installer-Recovery.zip from the SD card to complete the operation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So then you just have to reboot in recovery, dig to that same folder and find in there the zip to flash.
Anyway, just posting this in case anyone has that same problem, because it has driven me crazy not being able to fix that /system non writable problem with Sony. geez....
Cheers

Thank you so much. It works for my Z3C Docomo (already flashed with US ROM - D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77_US.ftf).

Thanks!
I had another Z3c that broke and the installation was as smoth as possible, but i had unlocked bootloader and rooted by the old method (that needed BU).
I got a new phone from assistence and did the root without UB.. and got the same problem .. thanks for the "tutorial"

Alright so this fixes some issue you had with the actual flashing of xposed in TWRP? I'm assuming it doesn't fix the bootloop problem that happens if you don't wipe the cache between every restart?
I'm not sure I follow your original thread,or what you actually did to resolve whatever issue it is that you were having...

I'm currently being driven crazy by Sony's ridiculous R/W restriction, so I'd like to be able to lift it. If I understand correctly, your thread is partially about that. I'm having trouble flashing RICDefeat from recovery.
I don't understand the difference between flashing a zip automatically and flashing it manually. The only method I know is copying to SD/internal memory, booting into recovery and install/flash zip from there. Which recovery did you use?

Thanks.
The latest XPosed Installer is missing last option, but I found the file downloaded at /sdcard/Android/data/de.robv.../cache/downloads/framework
