[Q] Stuck in TWRP

Hi, I have a ATT HTC One I got yesterday. Was rooted, had an old ROM on it, unlocked, s-off, hboot 1.44. I tried to flash a PGe rom on it and it became stuck in TWRP. I can get adb, but sideloading a rom doesn't work. It says it flashes but will not boot. Can get into the bootloader, but can't get fastboot. Really frustrated, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

i was also got same problem with you
and to boot to TWRP i use CMD : Fastboot boot recovery.img
and then i can successfully go to TWRP settings

I can get into TWRP no problem. And I can get adb there, but can't flash a rom, always fails. Anyone else have any ideas?

have you tried pushing rom instead of sideloading it??
got to recovery and try this
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/
or
adb push rom.zip

I will try that. I am also using a windows 8 laptop, which may be part of my issue in getting the phone recognized in fastboot. I am trying to locate a windows 7 computer to use. I am also downloading the correct Guru file for it, but can't try it till I get home tonight because I can't install HTC drivers on my work computer.
I have been rooting phones since I had my HTC Hero and never had this much trouble or bricked a phone, let alone had to leave one down overnight. I am humbled......lol

I was also considering trying to load a nandroid backup. IF I do, and I can push it, what location does it need to go to??

what TWRP version are you using, and what are you installing?
If you're flashing a 4.4 ROM, then you will need TWRP 2.6.3.3, otherwise it will bootloop.
and for GPE 4.4 you also need S-Off.

Was about to say same, except if it's a 4.4 ROM it will fail install, not bootloop...........TWRP 2.6.3.4 is available now also.

I flashed Insertcoin with 2.6.3.3, but haven't tried 2.6.3.4 with 4.4 as it was released after. Using 2.6.3.4 on my phone now with no other issues though. I know to never assume, but I did assume that later revisions than 2.6.3.3 should also work. Maybe someone can clarify.

so i checked, but it doesn't say why it's under m7ul now. any reason it wouldnt work with an m7u?

I'm stuck with TWRP 2.6.3.0 unfortunately.....

Solved my problem. Used a Windows Vista computer, and a different cable, was able to get fastboot to work and used a RUU to get back to stock. Got rid of TWRP and put on the newwest CWM recovery and a new rom. Thanks to all that helped!

[Q] Help please stuck on HTC boot screen

I've recently done the conversion to the Google Edition but since my headphone didn't work with it I wanted to go back to Stock.
Unfortunately I completely screwed up...
The current state of my phone is:
I can't boot, only end up at the white HTC logo boot screen
I can't recover my nandroid backup because CWM says "Can't mount SD card"
I can't flash the RUU I found because my firmware is too high...
I can't root / flash a different because I can't transfer any files to my phone
I can't S-off my phone because adb doesn't see it... (Using rumrunner)
I really have no idea what to do and I don't even know how I reached this point. I just flashed the Rom for stock HTC M7 JB and had multiple errors occurring decided to try flashing KitKat which didn't work and suddenly nothing worked anymore.
Does anyone have an idea of what I could try?
Thanks a lot for our help!
Further details:
Unlocked & Tampered recovery
S-On
HBoot 1.55
OS 3.62.401.1

Thats great !!
install the HTC Sync and then uninstall it but leave the drivers
next step is boot to recovery
and from their try
adb devices
if it works
adb push this file to your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2481786&d=1388342684
adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7.zip data/media/0/
make sure TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7.zip is in the same directory as adb before push
you flash that from recovery the same you do a rom .. then reboot to recovery to see it
Also note that your s-on and cannot use a kitkat rom
find ARHD 31.6 here and push it the same you did the recovery

I have done that but while in custom Recovery my phone isn't recognised. And at the Htc boot screen adb doesn't list the device but Windows sees it as plugged in but not started.

then uninstall all your htc drives and do it again
if you know how to manually install drivers from device manager you can use these

Flash TWRP recovery and push ROM with ADB.
Reboot into TWRP.
Press mount and just choose DATA
Leave it and then push your rom file with "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/.
When its done you will get a message that files are transfered, Now flash rom

Thanks, that worked.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloader and cant flash a ROM

I think I totally messed up my HTC one sprint.I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and then flashed cyanogenmod 11 on it with gapps4.4.2 and It was running pretty smoothly but the battery life was terrible and no one could hear me when i was on speakerphone. So i tried to get it back to stock rom and now I am just stuck in the bootloader. When i go into TWRP there are no ROMs there anymore. I must have wiped them by accident. Additionally I was never successful in getting S-OFF i tried RumRunner like 20 times with no luck. Please help me
When i run the what I think is the correct RUU I get "ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

1) if you go into twrp and mount only data partition and nothing else you can plug it into the computer and place a rom on the phone
2) did you use the 3.05.651.6 RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576995

Read the FAQ, questions 14 - 16. Also question 26 for issues with Window 8.1.

It will not allow me to mount the "data" partition. When I click on it, nothing happens. The only partition it allows me to mount is the system.

[Q] HTC one Unlocked version Problem

Here is my story..
I have an HTC one unlcoked version with sense 5.5, and I decided to unlock the bootloader and flash google edition software. I unlocked the bootloader with no problems at all. Then I rooted the device, and everything is very fine. Then, I downloaded a google edition software, and flashed it using CWM. I rebooted the phone to see if it works. It didn't. It does turn on and I can see the google logo, and I can see the screen with the apps then suddenly the phone restart by itself, and it keep doing that. I tried to flash the stock sense but I couldn't. I need a solution pleas. Thanks

if you flashed a 4.4 gpe rom, you probably need to have s-off for the rom to work. You can try flashing another rom and s-off your phone then re-flash de google rom.

Another 'I'm an idiot' thread

And not my first! You'd have thought I'd be great at fixing this by now, although this one is new to me.
So.
I accidentally wiped everything clean on my phone, including my backup.
Now all I have is TWRP v2.6.3.3
I've tried to sideload various files onto the phone, but nothing has worked. I suspect that this may be because my pc (win 8.1) is not recognising my phone, but I may be wrong, I'be been wrong about everything else these last 20 odd hours.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Chris

Right, I tried to sideload the latest android revolution rom, but it failed, it said:
Starting adb sideload feature

Skipping MD5 file check: No MD5 file found
Verifying zip signature
E:Zip signature verification failed: 1

If you don't want to mess around with drivers, I'll recommend getting an OTG cable. Put your rom in a flash drive, connect it through the OTG cable. TWRP can manage it from there.
