flash a custom recovery onto your phone then sideload or use otg cable to get a rom back onto your phone

your device is not bricked as long as you are s-on. it's almost impossible to brick it with s-on. follow ratcoms instructions and it should work again.

you know that you have to actually boot to recovery and choose install zip via sideload to sideload right?

moloch,
You can't mount anything in recovery because you locked your bootloader. I sent you a PM.

Did you actually boot into recovery and select the sideload mode? What recovery are you using? Try "adb devices" once in sideload it should return "serial number sideload".

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.

Can't install anything not even stock ROM

I formatted everything ever since I haven't been able to install a ROM I've gotten every error in the world. (Too Many To Remember). Now my issue is that in recovery mode the internal phone storage isn't being recognized. I can't mount it either. I need to have my phone back. I have the Team Win Recovery Installed and that is the only thing I can really do other than that it's dead. I can't even get the adb to work on it.
UPDATE 1:
I was able to repair the SDCARD mounting error by following the steps from here: http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/in...ountable-internal-storage-on-the-htc-one-xxl/

I'm guessing you have HTC drivers installed.
Connect USB to windows Boot into Recovery, selecr Advanced, choose Sideload, then swipe to start sideload
then with adb use command 'adb devices'
Does your phone up? it'll have a name beginning with sideload
If it doesn't, possible driver issue. What OS are you using?

The phone bootlooped? Strange. TWRP usually runs the script straight after sideload. The zip is on sdcard/0/sideload.zip
What happens when you try to install the sideload.zip?

Flash latest CWM recovery the same way you flash Twrp.twrp is unsecure coz you deleted all your system data in twrp recovery.after flash,cwm shoud work,and adb too.then put superuser.zip on internal storage,install thru cwm to gain root.flash arhd 52.0 rom to get it boot.

I think you have a corrupted partition. Try this: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html
Just something I found with a quick search but, I hope that will fix your problem, if not you should google around for more alternative methods to repairing a corrupted data partition
How Do I Recognise The Problem?
When trying to mount the DATA partition from inside the custom recovery using the mount /data command you will most likely see this output: mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 on /data failed: Invalid argument
To be 100% sure you can check filesystem structure with the following command: /sbin/e2fsck -n -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
Good luck

So, I did part of this because I'm having a similar issue. I was able to flash CWM, but unable to mount USB storage in order to get this thing booted up. I tried to sideload and that's unsuccessful.
When I use the devices command in adb, it doesn't list it. However, when I typed devices in fastboot, it listed it. Obviously, I'm starting to get pissed.
i had a same problem,needed 3 days to solve it.I understand that adb cant recognize the device(i was getting that error too)and(typing "adb devices" sometimes shows the device)--,but can you put a zip file on internal storage of the phone,now when you have cwm recovery?try to get many informations as you can,read,you will fix this.i didnt try to fix partitions mentioned above,but you can try with that.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It seems like your data partition is trashed, and maybe you need to format it. This is more aggressive than wiping /sdcard and /data. TWRP can do this, and CWM probably can, too. Also, "fastboot devices" should only show the phone when it's in fastboot mode, and "adb devices" will show the phone when it's in recovery or running Android (with USB Debugging enabled).
If you want to poke around a little bit before taking this drastic step, I would try one more time to get adb connected--boot the phone to recovery, wait a few seconds, attach the cable, then give "adb devices" another try. Also, I don't know if the driver necessary for ADB is the same as fastboot. It's possible your computer is configured to do one but not the other. Is there someone else's computer you can ask to use for a few minutes to check this?
Solved unmount /system /cache /data
i've format all the formattable things in twrp , reboot and used adb push and after flash cyanogenmod! ! Thank you all guys !:good:

Try what @JudgeFutta said. The error's most likely due to corrupt partitions.

Try to get in Recovery and from mount option mount system and then try it will work or try this
Make Sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. in TWRP, Hit andvanced and find Sideload
3. Swipe to start Sideload
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. type adb devices and it should show your device conntected and say sideload
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. type adb sideload nameofzip.zip
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. if adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery
ADB Push from Recovery - If Sideload Fails For You
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/
Be sure u r in Recovery when using ADB Push command.
Thanks guys. What i found out is that i had a corrupt partition so I formated the sdcard since there was nothing on it and it worked. I pushed the rom through adb but i didnt do the sideload method. I have liquid smooth on it now but I want a sense rom. any suggestions for a good one?

@p1mpin Can vouch for that ROM, it's amazing. Might also want to flash Kangaroo Kernel while you're at it. It'll give you great battery life.

[Q] 6 Hours later - Still Bricked.

Hello,
First and foremost I would like to give the important information away:
Phone: HTC One (M7)
Carrier: Rogers (I think same as AT&T?)
State: Unlocked, S-On, TWRP v2.7.1.0 installed, Hboot 1.57 and without an OS
The story:
Advance Wiped Everything:
So I didn't transfer the ROM before I used the "wipe" option in TWRP and deleted everything (using advanced wipe). Now I'm left with a phone that is "soft-bricked".
ADB Sideload
I rooted and installed TWRP my phone using QbKing77's guide
I tried googling a soultion and found a guide that told me to enter TWRP->Advanced->ADB Sideload and realized my phone cannot enter ABD sideload mode...so I'm like there must be another way, so I look up ADB push and again the same problem...it wont work. ADB shows: "error:device not found" in cmd.
Drivers
Now I think the problem is in the driver and I have reinstalled all the correct drivers (including Android SDK Google USB drivers). Then it strikes me that if the problem is with the drivers why was I able to use fastboot and not ADB?
RUU
After 4 hours of trying I gave up and was like lets try a RUU, same freaking problem. I get error code 155 which after researching seems to be pointing at my phone's bootloader not being "Re-locked" when the freaking screen says ***tampered*** re-locked****. So now I have unlocked it again and relocked the bootloader again, still no luck. I tried downloading different RUUs for both Rogers and AT&T and both give that exact same error even after "fastboot oem lock" command. After giving up on that I go back to try to entter ADB sideload mode via TWRP, I downloaded TWRP 2.5-2.7 and none of them would allow me to enter ADB sideload mode.. As of now its been 1 hour and TWRP still states: "Starting ADB sideload feature...".
Conclusion
If there is any way to get my phone to it's stock settings (IDC about the tampered, and relocked messages) I am all ears, I'm sorry if the information given isn't organized enough, but I'm very exhausted at this point. I will be more than happy to answer any more questions anybody might have.
Thanks!

After 4 hours of trying I gave up and was like lets try a RUU, same freaking problem. I get error code 155 which after researching seems to be pointing at my phone's bootloader not being "Re-locked" when the freaking screen says ***tampered*** re-locked****. So now I have unlocked it again and relocked the bootloader again, still no luck. I tried downloading different RUUs for both Rogers and AT&T and both give that exact same error even after "fastboot oem lock" command. After giving up on that I go back to try to entter ADB sideload mode via TWRP, I downloaded TWRP 2.5-2.7 and none of them would allow me to enter ADB sideload mode.. As of now its been 1 hour and TWRP still states: "Starting ADB sideload feature...".
Conclusion
If there is any way to get my phone to it's stock settings (IDC about the tampered, and relocked messages) I am all ears, I'm sorry if the information given isn't organized enough, but I'm very exhausted at this point. I will be more than happy to answer any more questions anybody might have.
Thanks!

first, do not use twrp 2.7.1.0 but 2.6.3.3 and use HTC divers not Google drivers. you will then be able to sideload or push a rom to your phone. Also make sure to use at least adb 1.0.29, sideload will not work on previous version.

Thanks for your response.
I have flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3, and when I boot into recovery it asks me for a password? I was still unable to boot up ADB sideload (This time I get an error message instead of it failing to start all together). But I was able to access the adb shell and was able to push a custom rom into the device into /data/ and then tried installing it, which failed.
I flashed the ROM using this command: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
then after the transfer was done typed: fastboot erase cache
as of now when I type adb devices into the command prompt my phone is being detected which is an improvement from last night! Thanks!

you don't have to use an adb shell to push a rom, only use adb normally from your computer with the phone booted in recovery. And the destination of the rom when you push it is not /data, its /sdcard
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
when complete, select "install" in recovery and choose your rom.

The rom.zip is now in my /sdcard/ folder and when I try to install it I get the following error:
Code:
Updating partition details....
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
Error Flashing zip '/sdcard/rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
and my ADB version is 1.0.31
Edit: So I went in the mount option and noticed that "cache" was selected so I deselected it and tried to flash again and it just said
Code:
Error Flashing zip '/sdcard/rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
So now I'm thinking there must be something wrong with the ROM, so i'm downloading and will retry.
Code:
KitKat (Android 4.4.3 + HTC Sense 6.0)
Download Android Revolution HD 81.0
Nope, that didn't work either. Could it be that I need to put in that password first? If so what is the TWRP password?

looks like you have enabled data encryption in the OS...
in twrp wipe everything and format data
then push the rom again and install it.
