I inadvertently formatted my Sprint HTC One (ver. 1.29.651.6) with TRWP, now the phone is useless. There is no RUU for this version yet, please tell me there is something I can do restore the factory ROM or at least be able to copy my TWRP backup files to the now inaccessible internal storage.
Try sideloading a rom via twrp

Same here, I am usually good at doing these procedures... but last night, after loading the recovery (and followed directions from XDA and youtube video exactly), the internal storage was inaccessible from twrp, even though I saved the superuser zip in the download area, it could not be reached by the twrp file browser. In my desperate attempt to fix this, I followed another members poor advice and ended up essentially wiping the phone....
Now, I can boot into fastboot and twrp.... but it does not get past the white HTC start up screen and is stuck there.
If anyone can share a link to the best method to fix this issues, I appreciate it! Whether sideloading a rom, or restoring factory stock, please help!. Thank you.
The following does not work?
It seems that you have to fastboot oem lock first.

Thank you sir! I will try this and report back on results. As much as I disliked stock and wanted to flash CM10.1 rom... at this point, I guess I will be glad to have things back to stock .... :good:
Good lookin out on that link, that's what I was looking for. Much appreciated.
u could use adb and transfer a rom to the sdcard

Feeling very happy with my phone now that it has been fixed.. much thanks to your advice, I was able to look at the posts and video and recovered my device to re-lock, loaded stock RUU, then went right back to unlocking, installing recovery and rom (CM 10.1). 2nd time around worked as predicted.
It took a few nervous moments, but was well worth the effort now that the phone is essentially a nexus 5 like device for me. I will not miss Sense or blinkfeed at all. Never really used Zoe and camera software features.. Could those be installed separately as an additional camera app besides the standard CM supplied version?

I also wiped everything on my phone and formatted the internal sd card with TWRP. I wanted a fresh start and thought I could just mount the internal sd card thru recovery and transfer my rom.zip off my laptop. Very BIG mistake, as I was unaware that TWRP does not mount/format properly! The above quote by Ms. Pinks was the first method that I tried, but did not work because TWRP rendered my internal memory useless.......phone would no longer recognize it. After several hours of failed attempts I just gave up for the night. In the morning, I did some reading on Clockwork Mod Recovery on other forums and it got alot of positive reviews........mounts/formats/wipes partitions properly! It just does'nt have some of the bells and whistles that TWRP does. I proceeded to flash it thru fastboot using the fastboot flash recovery cwm.image command. Once flashed, I was able to boot into recovery and reformat my internal sd card properly! After that, I used adb to push my rom.zip to the card and flashed away! I have tried all the functions in CWM and it works beautifully! (I love TWRP, but there are to many bugs in it's current state.....for this phone at least) Gonna be using CWM from now on. Hope my experience can help some other user's who screwed up too.
Ok, so I'm a total noob with android, having just recently converted from my iPhone to my HTC One. I decided to root my phone a few days ago, using Hassoon2000's All-In-One Kit, and everything went smoothly without any problems. However, I decided to try and flash a ROM to disable system write protection because I couldn't update SuperSU. I used this video here
Anyway, after flashing, my phone tried to boot up and got stuck at the "HTC One, quietly brilliant" screen, and won't go any further, but I can still get into the bootloader and CWM recovery. I was told to run the RUU for my phone to unroot and unbrick, so I downloaded the file and ran it. When it was installing, I noticed that the ROM that the RUU was installing was an older version than the one on my phone, and the RUU then gave me error 131.
I'm in a dead end here, I honestly have no idea what to do, but my guess is that the RUU that I got was outdated, so I need a newer version of the Three UK HTC One RUU. Can anyone help me out here?
There is no Three RUU - Three have yet to release it. Which rom were you trying to load? Use the toolkit to sideload the rom in recovery then once you've got your phone working again, transfer the CWM nandroid backup for 3 UK from the page you've just linked to. Place it in your clockworkmod backup folder then restore it in recovery. This will get you back to stock rom if you still want it, not stock recovery though.

The file I was trying to install is linked in that YouTube video. Also, when I tried to sideload viperROM, recovery just said "unable to mount /data" and the sideload failed. I also tried using TWRP recovery to flash the ROM, it said there was no OS when I was trying to reboot.

Use this guide to push a rom to your phone, then flash it in recovery:

Also, you know that you install viper 1.0 first then to the updates one at a time in order? Just checking, apologies if you already knew that.

I did this, and then when I went into recovery to look for the ROM, I couldn't find it, and noticed that it said "Internal Storage 0 MB". Do you think I could have messed up my partitions when I originally tried to disable write protection?
Hey, guys, I seem to have a predicament with my Verizon Bionic. I'm using Safestrap 3.11 to run AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1.
Now, my problem: these last couple days I have started to receive the "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." error. I constantly start getting messages telling me apps have stopped, and any changes I make to files or settings seem to be applied but on reboot everything is the same as it's been.
I tried deleting the ROM slot (I have AOKP loaded in rom-slot2) but even after I choose to load my stock ROM my phone boots into AOKP, meaning I can't boot into the stock ROM. I tried fixing permissions, and that doesn't work. I have tried to flash the latest AOKP nightly but whenever I place the zip on my phone's internal storage it disappears when I reboot as my phone reverts to how the filesystem was before. I haven't put an external SD Card in my phone yet.
I have tried factory resetting my phone through Safestrap, AOKP, and stock Android recovery to find there's no change.
Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I tried using RSD Lite 5.7 to flash 98.72.22 FXZ JB but to no avail. Is there a way to manually wipe my data partition, perhaps via a Linux distro?
fxz to 4.1 and try again?

Already tried. When I reboot, safestrap is still there along with everything on my phone.
I tried wiping all from ADB to no avail as well.
Starting to get concerned...

I think this was the same thing I saw on Titanium Backup Pro when I changed ROM slots (from Icarus to CM10.1.2) It says my device ID has changed, and offered to reset it for me back to the old number. I let it do it, and I haven't had any problems.
I think flashing a new ROM generates a new device ID, and this breaks all the secure storage encryption keys among other problems, which is why it's best to leave it alone or flash it back.

Well the main problem seems to be that I cannot change anything in the filesystem without it being reverted on restart. I haven't had an offer to reset it, and I cannot reflash, as there's no way to put a ROM zip on the phone without it disappearing when i reboot into safestrap. Even deleting the ROM slot does nothing.
Have you tried fixing permissions for the ROM?

just some suggestions:
i have done like 9 bionics with safestrap 3.x and only had problems iwth two, those problems went away after removing recovery and deleting the safestrap directory in internal memory from a PC, I had 0 memory available that was the problem , it all fixed after FORMATING "sdcard" (internal storage" from storage menu)
have you tried using an sdcard for storing the new rom instead of using internal memory?
try installing the newest safestrap (just overwrite if it wont let you remove the one you have).

I haven't tried using an sdcard, I'm going to try that next.
I can't boot into stock to remove safestrap. If I could, that would probably solve my problem.
Anything I modify using a PC just reverts when I reboot my phone.

i never tried but maybe you can remove safestrap recovery from a non stock slot, dunno what would happen but if i was in your case i would try.
Also try removing the safestrap directory from your pc (i know you said everything was back to same after reboot but didnt get clear if you tried removing the safestrap dir).
Probably the cleanest solution HERE

File is on the SD card, and I found that the error message is connected when using old CWM, but I don't have the idea why it stops, I don't see that there is newer one. Also, CWM is not doing anything with mount USB storage, I just click and nothing happens.

The newest CWM is 6.0.4.9. My suggestion would be to delete LGFreedom folder off your SD Card and re-run the FreedomFlex app again as it will then download the latest CWM and you can just flash the recovery again. I had the same issue with 6.0.4.8
Problem is I can't get anything accept CWM, and I can't mount internal card, LG driver is already installed, and I tried to reinstall it, but he is still not seeing it. Any idea how to access it? If I have to have old Sprint ROM to install FreedomFlex again, I need somehow to transfer it to the internal memory and start the installation from there.

I don't quite get what the problem is.... Are you stuck in CWM or can you boot into the rom?
If you're stuck in CWM and don't have a backup or any other rom to flash (why?), you can always sideload a rom using adb (if you are stuck in a CWM bootloop look here for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744482)
If you can boot back into the rom, follow my previous reply....
The only other option is to flash back to stock by following the tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083

Can't boot back to the ROM, I have stock ROM downloaded on hard drive, but I thought if I make a mistake, I would easily copy it to internal memory, and install it from there. Problem is that I cant, adb devices is showing nothing, so I can't use shell to copy ROM.

Well it looks like the only option is to go back to stock from the link I posted and start again, but make sure you've got everything on your phone you need before trying anything... Also trust me CM11 isn't worth bothering with just yet as there is a lot of issues with it, but I'm sure it will get there as PlayfulGod is working on it

Tnx for help, but I spent 4 hours trying to solve why I can't reach internal memory. At the end, LG drivers weren't working, so I pushed manually to set it as ADB port , and finally found the phone through adb devices command. After that, returning stock was easy. Now, I'm on CM11, thanx on those links, combining with one more thread and the problem is solved.
Hey all.
So, i have a rooted z1 (rooted via towelroot), I installed Dual Recovery (using "Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA" file), unlocked the bootloader, (backed my Rom using CWM) and have installed a Custom Rom (Paranoid Android).
The Rom is awesome, but I have tried to load my previous Stock Rom back - so that i know the process just in case.
CWM isn't able to mount my memory card. From what i can see this is a very common problem and there are lots of device specific variations of CWM to install that get around this, however they all come with heavy warnings about how they are made for Device A and should not be used on Device Z.
Some users have suggested that TWRP should be able to see the back up file and install from there, however, I cannot boot into TWRP. I've gone through NDRUtils and have tried the different button combinations at start up, all of it takes me to CWM only. I've looked back about Dual recovery and it says that i should have used the Dual Recovery file after flashing my Rom, which i did not do as i was to excited to get PA on my phone.
I'm probably doing something daft, but if someone has any similar experience I'd be grateful for the knowledge.
Can't you just flash the dual recovery again then put into twrp using power + vol down?

Thank you for the suggestion. I've tried that and it still just boots to cwm. I've tried pressing the vol down once,and I've tried hammering it repeatedly when turning on as well.
You do know you can't restore a cwm backup via twrp? They are not compatible
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, I figured that was the case,but at the moment I can't use the back up on cwm anyway as it doesn't Mount the SD card. I tried moving the back up on to the internal memory, no luck .

Try using a third party sd card mounter, or take the sd card out and put it into a sd card reader, then copy the backup to your PC then move it to your phones internal storage :clockworckmod/backups and restore it from there.
I'm not really able to help anymore, my phone has just died an hour ago and will be sent away tomorrow :crying:
