[Q] HTC one completlywiped, cannot load ROM - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone, Ive been going at this for days and been round and round on so many pages i'm just lost..
I have HTC one unlocked brought in AUS. Decided to play around with it and didn't do any sort of backup of the original system, unlocked the boot loader, installed CRW and tried a few roms for fun. So today I went and played around again trying to get the stock rom put back on so I can have OTA updates (stupid idea!!!) and now there is no OS installed on the phone...!
So far I have tried to push a zip to the phone with adb but apparently it can only be done when the OS is loaded. Used Hasson tool with no luck.
Essentially I can't load any ROM to the phone and it is just stuck between fastboot and the recovery mod (tried TWRP and CRW).
Ive looked at the RUU files on the website but theres no clear explanation on which one to choose. The htc website has no RUU update either.
Can someone please help with steps to get me back on track. If you need any info to help then please let me know ..

S-ON
P.S. i will let you know if I have previously tried what you suggest..

So can you get into recovery?

Hi there, i can currently boot into TWRP (which is the most recent version I downloaded today)

1) Flash TWRP custom recovery
2) In recovery go to adb sideload
3) On PC type adb sideload yourrom.zip

Try to adb sideload a rom. after flashing a custom recovery, download hasoon2000's toolkit from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2183942
place it on your desktop and then place your custom rom inside the folder. run the toolkit and use the function "adb sideload" to sideload the rom on your device. also choose "adb sideload" in your custom recovery while doing this.
it should work

If you get into recovery then as everyone is saying sideload a ROM onto your device. There are loads of guides of how to do that.

You know what, i need a kick in the head..
Have previously opened TWRP, went to sideload and wondering why it has done nothing - this time I see the "slide to sideload" option.
Its currently sending right now. If this upload works do I now just have to select the install option and choose the ZIP?

In recovery apply "slide to sideload" , recovery will be to wait command from PC.
On PC type "adb sideload rom.zip" , your rom.zip must be in the same folder with adb.exe.

Pushing the thanks button for everyone who replied, such a simple thing as sliding the abd sideload button to the right to detect it...
Thank you all so much

[Q] Looking for help. Cant boot phone, recovery nor use adb commands.

Hej guys. I really hope that you can help me with my problem
Have been trying for 2 days and looking at post but haven't been able to get it fixed.
Here goes.
I have been playing around with custom roms on my htc one for a while now.
Then when i was about to install a new custom rom, i first wiped my phone.
I properly wiped something that should not be wiped, because i ended up with no os and no custom rom zip file that i could install in twrp.
I then tryed sideloading revolutions, and it seemed to work because it ended up booting on the phone and i could select what programs too install with it... but halfway through it stoped and rebooted.
now i cant even get into recovery anymore, and booting the phone only gets it to htc briliant logo. Then it restarts and tryes going into recovery, but it cant, and ends up just restarting over and over again.
Tryed flashing cwm and twrp again, but still cant get into recovery.
adb dont fint my device, and i have tryed all drivers i could find.
Tryed using a RUU, but it fails. Properly because its not the right one, but cant fint one that fits.
Sooo... i think im in a real pickle right now.
my radio is :4a.14.3250.13
hboot: 1.44.0000
Thinking about going back with my phone, but with the warranty gone i dont know if they'll even look at it.
Hoping for some advise, or some ideas on what to do.

So I'll try here first. I am having the same issue, I can't get the device to boot into recovery, no matter if I clear the cache, or flash either one of twrp or CWM.
I unlocked the bootloader, I think used the all in one toolkit to flash the recovery. When that didn't work, I erased the cache and manually flashed the recovery, and it said it pushed successfully.
I am at a loss, I have no idea what to try next, any help would be appreciated.
******Finally got it, I had to disable Fast Boot in the Power options in Settings******
How do you copy update.zip from external to internal SD?
Sorry if it's a total no-brainer, but how do I manually copy a recovery zip to the internal update.zip? Can I do this from my phone (which is stuck in a bootloop: see below)? Or do I have to use ADB with my computer?

My situation:
Using Open Recovery I tried to install CM7 with custom kernel on my XT720
It gave an error: "assert failed: write_raw_image... Status 7" As I was looking that up, my phone blackscreened. After a while I pulled the battery.
Then on startup it went into a bootloop after a picture of a broken screen saying "2ndboot kernel restart in progress." (Presumably the kernel wasn't properly applied?)
Trying to boot into bootloader says battery is too low.
Phone will only turn on when plugged into outlet.
What I think I need to do:
- Copy a good update from my external SD over the bad update.zip on the internal SD, and apply the update to reset the kernel, etc.
- Open Recovery could do this, if I could load it.
- I could load Openrecovery if I could get the bootloader to run,
- I could get the bootloader to run if my battery would charge

Need Help Unbrick My HTC One M7

My HTC One M7 is stuck at HTC logo and will not boot further. I've tried many methods, but cannot repair the phone. It's M7 Europe HTC_001 Firmware 1.29.401.13.
With bootloader unlocked I flash cwm recovery and tried to copy custom rom to flash but phone cannot mount usb storage. I tried to flash stock RUU 1.28.401.7, it won't flash because of hboot error. I tried to flash PN07IMG_1.29.401.13.zip using fastboot flash zip. firmware.;zip, with locked or unlocked bootloader, it won't flash, giving error.
Is there any full RUU 1.29.401.17 or RUU 2.17.401.1 firmware out there for download? I think that's my only solution is to get the same or higher full and not OTA firmware. Would it be possible to ADB push custom rom to phone if it can only power and stuck at logo? Or any other solution, please help, thanks.

Thanks for your help but I've tried all that. First phone cannot "mount USB storage" in custom recovery so I cannot copy any file to the phone. Flashing stock RUU is not possible because there is no RUU 1.29.401.13.exe or higher, only OTA. Is it possible to downgrade hboot with s-on and in fastboot mode? Any other suggestion? Thanks.

I've tried to use adb push method but when I put phone to recovery (phone shows red triangle) and run command adb devices, it cannot see the device. Is it because of the drivers? I've installed all drivers and do not see any drivers error in device manager...I really appreciate all the helps from everyone and I spent so much time trying to fix this phone already and I feel I'm so closed now to fix it but just need little more help..Thanks..

Thanks for your tips and advice..After many hours of trying, my phone is NOW ALIVE. This is how I did it:
1)Find a custom rom from this forum and rename to rom.zip, of course if you use windows like me with .zip extension hidden then just simply rename it rom (to make it simple and short) and copy it to adb shell folder.
2)After unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery, find it in this forum or here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
3) Boot phone to recovery, and select Install zip from sideload and plug phone to PC. Wait until phone installs all adb drivers..
4) In adb shell type command: "adb devices" without quotes, of course..to make sure adb sees your phone..You should see your devices name.
5) In adb type commad" adb sideload rom.zip..at this point you should see "sending: sideload....1%..wait until it show 100%..some roms like the one I used, Android Revolution HD One 12 (4.2.2) need to install from the screen, just follow instruction on screen and let it finish installation and wola, it's alive again..
I hope this will help someone who have similar problem with this phone. Thanks for the help from everyone.

[Q] HTC One Bricked, Need Help...

Hey Guys,
I have scoured forums for hours trying to copy solutions and i am at wits end.
I was running the latest version of arhd and chose to switch to Paranoid. In recovery, as you do, i accidentally formatted everything so now there is no directory, roms etc on the phone at all.
I am able to get into recovery but adb sideload wont work. I can sometimes get ADB to recognize the device but it wont allow me to push or sideload. I really don't know what else to do. Any information i can give you please let me know.
Regards
Check that you have the latest version of adb installed, then you should get sideload to work.

Hey thanks Paul, I currently have Clockwork mod recovery 6.0.3.1 that i am able to get into, but when i go to "install zip from sideload" it says "failed to open driver control: no such file or directory" twice.

Just to confirm, CWM wont allow me to mount anything, i have nothing on the phone (no roms, recoveries etc), when i reboot the phone and allow it to sit on the htc screen with red warning text, i can sometimes get the device recognised by adb however, when trying to push or sideload anything onto it, it tells me i do not have permissions or that it is read only.

Basically you need the latest version of HTC driver for your pc, plus latest adb on pc and latest cwm or twrp recovery on your HTC One
It's been a while since I used CWM recovery as I now prefer twrp recovery.
However you seem to have a fairly old version of cwm recovery, I would suggest first flashing a more recent recovery, either cwm or twrp.
Then reboot to recovery, check that your HTC One is seen on pc by typing adb devices
It should list the serial number of your phone.
Then select sideload options in recovery, then follow instructions, which is usually
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
Hope this helps

[Q] Deleted data, new installation fails

Hello,
yesterday I accidentally deleted the data partition on my phone (M7 model)
I coudn't get adb dideload to work so I bought an usb otg cable.
Now when I try to install a rom (hd android v51) I always get an error after aroma closes:"set_perm: some changes failed)
Can anyone help me installing ANY rom to get my phone working again?
thx
Hey, no worries. Just adb push <nameofrom>.zip /data/media/0/ then it will take some time, when it says its successful just go to that path and flash it like a normal ROM worked for me and I hope it helps you.
Make sure the ROM is in the same folder of adb.
Happy Flashing from the proud owner of a HTC One.
The newer ROMs require latest custom recovery. E.g. ARHD 51 definitely requires it. I had TWRP 2.6.3.1 and had errors and all errors went away using 2.6.3.4

[Q] Bootloop, can't push recovery etc

Hey everyone,
so I have an issue, I hate taking care of other peoples devices, but my dad asked me to root his Optimus 4x for him, so I did.. or at least I gave it a try.
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and tried to instal a custom recovery, with no success.
the OS the device had is 4.1.2 JB, and I tried to flash the ICS recovery, which caused a permanent bootloop.
luckily (I guess?) I can access the recovery (which is STOCK for some odd reason) but the device never boots back up when I restart it. I tried to wipe everything that the stock recovery allows me to, no success either. I tried to use the LG tool, I put the IMEI and hoped for the best - nope, it didnt help either. it kept on saying the device has disconnected.
SO I figured the way to go would be an adb flash of the right recovery and then flashing a custom ROM, but I cant push the recovery image to the sdcard, it says there's no such directory. this is the command I used:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
I tried various combinations and at this point I'm kinda lost and confused. Perhaps some more-experienced people could give me a hand? I've spent 6 hours figuring this out
EDIT:
the only way of turning the device off is pulling the battery, I can use adb, and I tried to flash the wrong recovery accidently.
thanks

Hey everyone,
so I have an issue, I hate taking care of other peoples devices, but my dad asked me to root his Optimus 4x for him, so I did.. or at least I gave it a try.

try to flash stock rom using KDZ method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723), that lets your device like new, and then try to start again, I recommend you to use lg p880 toolkit look into download section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934), and you can download CWM 6.0.4.5 and replace the recovery in files folder of p880 toolkit and get the latest recovery that allows you to instal the most recent ROM
Le'mme guess, you didn't even think about unlocking bootloader, amaright?

No. As stated in the first post, I did in fact unlock the bootloader. I also confirmed it in the secret menu and it said "Unlock" which as I presume means the bootloader is unlocked.

No, there's no reason for me to laugh the secret menu confirmed it too.
Thanks for your replies, I hope it works
I'm sorry i missed the first line, what got me was when you said you flashed recovery but it was still the same
The adb command to flash recovery is
1) adb reboot oem-unlock
2) fastboot flash recovery /path/toyour/recovery.img (not adb because you must use fastboot when in bootloader)

hey, thanks for your reply.
I assume the /path/toyour/recovery.img is a path on the phone, the thing is I cant copy it to the internal storage with adb for some odd, unknown reason (well the reason is the directory doesnt exist). I'll try to return to stock first, and I'll post the result.
thank you again
EDIT:
SOOO I managed to fix it and get it all to work the device boots up normally again thank you VERY much for all your kind help. I love you guys!!
