If you are using twrp, try "adb push file.zip /data/media/0"
Im not sure what you are trying to do, load a new recovery? You would do that from bootloader with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

I mean, i have three recovery file (oldest file size 7MB, the new CW file is 8.838KB and the new twrp file is 8.432KB) but i can not use 2 new recovery file ==> when I try: adb sideload rom.zip it said can not find devices.

you must load new recovery from bootloader, not recovery
use fastboot not adb
fastboot flash recovery whatever.img

I done that already, but the problem is, when i try to install ARHD v30, with adb sideload, then they can not find any devices. I already try to install newest HTC drivers, but they dont works.

Hi an0ther,
I am running ARHD v22 with no problems. Then I try to install V30 in recovery mode - from zipfiles. After that, it only run a cicles in HTC boot logo and recovery mode. I start over again form 1st step to relock my HTC, flash recovery.img etc.
Now, my HTC only work with old recovery.img and ARHD v22. If i try 2 other recovery.img event with ARHD v22 is still not works.
I'm not sure exactly what is going on. We might have a language barrier here. You might have a corrupt Rom file. You said relock, not sure if you are talking about the bootloader which you don't need to do. Unless you are trying to flash stock ruu and you are s-on.

Hi all
I recently rooted my new HTC One. However, due to issues with the Barclays Mobile app not liking rooted devices (I've tried to get around this using instructions from this forum, but no joy) I now want to unroot.
My modelid is PN0710000, and my cidnum is H3G_001. There's no RUU for this, so I located a CWM Nandroid backup zip (courtesy of BugsyLawson and shrubz).
Am I correct in thinking that my route to unroot is as follows? ...
1. Copy downloaded file to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ location on device. (Do I leave as zip, or unzip it in this location?)
2. Unzip downloaded file on my laptop
3. Restart device in Fastboot mode
4. On laptop, flash the recovery and boot of the file.zip (i.e. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img THEN fastboot flash boot boot.img)
5. Restart device in Recovery mode
6. Flash the zip file in CWM
7. Restart device in Fastboot mode
8. Relock bootloader (i.e. fastboot oem lock)
Will that work?
Thanks all...I'm new to all this, but learning fast (I hope!)

Just unroot the rom that's currently on the phone. SuperSU has a full unroot option in its settings.
Then stock recovery can be flashed via fastboot, but not really necessary.

Ah, that's correct, because /system partition is write protected after boot.
Flash the attached unroot-flashable.zip in CWM or TWRP, it will delete the su binary and Superuser.apk system app, which will unroot the OS.

Use twrp to sideload the rom. I think you go to Advance tab in TWRP and choose sideload rom and adb I think the command is "adb sideload <name of rom>".
I can't remember fully. I hope someonce can assist you and correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the replay.
The problem is i'm on stock recovery. I got it back after updating the firmware.
Now i'm relocked and stuck with the stock recovery.
I thinks first i need to unlock and then flash the custom recovery.
But how to do it while i'm in bootloader and with no OS in place!!
When you are in bootloader, click on Fastboot. After you are in Fastboot USB mode (it will show that on the screen), unlock the bootloader using this tutorial:
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-unlock-htc-one-bootloader-tutorial/
After you are done with that, you'll need to download TWRP 2.5.0 and place it inside your fastboot folder on your computer, and then open a command prompt window from there (shift + right click and open command prompt window here) and then execute this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Of course you replace recovery.img with whatever the name of your recovery is, in that case TWRP 2.5.0's zip file.

Now how i can get my OS back to business.
Do i need to flash the stock rom or any rom? and how can i flash it!!
So, i think is better flashing a ruu, like the stock european ruu and, via Revone tool, flash a recovery
You're s-offed, you don't need unlock your bootloader

would you be so kind to show me on how to do that:angel:
Depends on what you are looking for. Are you trying to revert your device to stock status so you can receive OTA updates? Because that would mean flashing a RUU and relocking the bootloader, as mentioned above. However if you aren't interested in OTA updates (which we don't know when will be available) then go for the easier route, a custom ROM which you flash via TWRP recovery. After you go into TWRP, go to Advanced and choose ADB sideload and then slide to start, then use your computer to adb sideload rom.zip (of course rom.zip will be replaced by whichever ROM you want to sideload).
This is to set up ADB:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
The proper drivers for your PC to recognize the device in ADB mode are obtained by installing HTC Sync Manager.

He can use the adb push command too...
Ah okay. I am new to all of this so I don't have sufficient information, I was just sharing how I got to fix my device when I was in the same situation.
I used adb push zip file as below instruction:
C:\Android>adb devices
List of devices attached
FA35VW927790 recovery
C:\Android>adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_9.4.zip /data/media/
3100 KB/s (1017950778 bytes in 320.621s)
C:\Android>adb reboot recovery
C:\Android>
I try to look for the zip file but did not find it?? any ideas
Still stuck at this point.
I tried to adb push it many times but still no success
:crying:
Please guys tell me if im doing something wrong or you have a better way of doing it.

The zip will be there somewhere, I command '/sdcard' instead of '/data/media'.
If you still can't find it just use
adb sideload Android_Revolution_HD-One_9.4.zip
Choose install zip from sideload in recovery and once it's finished transferring it will begin to install automatically so you won't have to look for the zip file

because you wiped your internal storage there is no file structure there, that's why you cant find the zip file.
You'll have to sideload your rom from twrp then boot up your phone which will create the needed directories.
1) update your android sdk. Sideload only works on certain versions of the sdk.
2) Place the rom you would like to flash in the same folder as fastboot and adb.( for you it looks like C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools
3) next from twrp under the advanced tab turn on adb sideload
4) issue the command adb sideload name of rom.zip
good luck

If you use /sdcard then it will work fine, I had the same issue
Victory at last :laugh:
My experience:
TWRP recovery
1.Tried to adb push /sdcard succeeded on this but failed to flash!!
2. Tried to adb sideload failed.
3. Flashed another recovery CWM.
4. adb sideload file.zip...........success
I don't why TWRP recovery was not responding correctly.
Any way got my phone back to life. and hopefully my experience could help people who made the same foolish mistake!!
Thanks to everybody who contributed to this post.

Maybe you had an earlier version of TWRP which had incompatibility issues with ADB. Anyway I'm glad you got through it. I sure hate being stuck like that as well.

I used the latest CWM Version 6.0.3.2.
So basically the only thing working in fastboot
somehow i have managed to wipe everything off of my device so there is no rom installed what so ever...which means i am unable to turn on usb debugging to get adb working. I am also on 1.31 so the RUU method will not work. i am able to flash whatever recovery or Superuser i wish and root/unroot as i please.
the only solution i can think of would be to flash a signed stock zip using "fastboot update signedstock.zip" but the ones i found here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 dont seem to work. i get errors like no "boot.img" or "does not contain android-info.txt"

just a fyi you can use fastboot to flash a rom if you put it in the same folder as the platform tools folder of your sdk, All roms have a android-info.txt file that's how android knows how to flash what to the particular partition.
you can flash any zip file from fastboot as long as it has the android-info file
fastboot flash zip nameofzip.zip

Hey there!
I have a really big problem!
in the beginning, i installed an old version of TWMP recovery, but when i wanted to install a new rom i couldn't and i read that you have to install a new version of the recovery so i did. After that i had two problems, the first one is that i have two recoveries in my device and don't ask me how cuz i don't know! But when i reboot my device it opens the old version of the recovery and when i reboot the recovery it opens the new one!!!
The main problem is that my laptop can't recognized my device any more but in the fastboot mode, so when i want to sideload any rom it says no device found.
I downloaded the last htc driver but nothing changed! HELP ME PLEAS.

First of all, very strange regarding recovery, so download twrp 2.6.3.3 then
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then........
Try updating your adb and fastboot, you can only sideload or push a Rom to your phone using adb commands with the phone in recovery

2.6.3.3 is the most reliable and recommended version, as for the error, check the md5 and file size of the file you downloaded, sounds like a bad or incomplete download to me.

Thank you a lot man for your help! I really appreciate it. But I figure out the problem.
The problem was that I tried to install a new room via an old recovery, so I sideloaded an old version of CM and when it worked I put the new ROM via my computer and flashed the new recovery version "still not found by my pc" but I all ready have the new ROM in the sdcard!
I decided to try and flash a custom rom as a .zip into my phone without using TWRP to play around. I first went into bootloader mode, then typed:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash zip Cyanogenmod.zip
Failed, error.
I also tried to use TWRP's adb sideload, swiped to run adb sideload, then typed
adb devices
adb sideload Cyanogenmod.zip
Failed,error.
Both times, there was no OS on the phone, I wiped everything prior.
Wasn't able to get either method to work. Am I doing something wrong ? Just like playing around and trying options to flash a ROM outside of TWRP.
I know how to flash .img files individually in fastboot, just not the .zip of custom ROMs.

wrong? yes, very much so. first off, you can not flash roms like cm via fastboot. you use twrp to flash those roms. fastboot is only for flashing the factory image or .img files. secondly, you dont have to use adb to transfer files to your phone. twrp recovery has a native feature letting you move files to your phone without adb.

Oh, so you can't flash a ROM .zip via adb ? I know how to do adb push into TWRP then flash the zip if that's what you were referring to ?
Fastboot cannot flash ROM .zips like TWRP ?

What does adb sideload do ? How is that different than adb pull for moving a .zip into the storage ??
Searching for adb sideload turned up this thread that pretty much has the two questions I currently have:

I did some searching for how to do this but the only thing I was able to come up with was changing storage to USB OTG and installing the files from there. Is that the method you were referring to?

I too am now wondering about what adb sideload does. I thought it was for flashing .zip files, including ROM's. Is that incorrect? Does adb sideload work when there isn't an OS on the phone because USB Debugging can't be enabled?
