No OS, stuck on HTC load screen

Hey everyone. I know I totally screwed up. So I got my Phone today. HTC One from Sprint. I went to unlock bootloader. Success, but when I went to install a custom rom I went to do a wipe, I guess I wiped the wrong thing. So now I don't have a OS, and stuck in TWRP because it won't load. Is there a way to push the rom to the phone and install from there? Or do I need a RUU? Or best bet is try to get a new phone?

I have ran into a similiar problem except I cannot get into TWRP I used the all in one tool and it starts to open for a split second, then I go into a bootloop. I have tried to flash TWRP again bust still no luck. I also reinstalled htc drivers because when I try to run boot into recovery command from the all in one tool, it tells me device not detected. I think this is strange since it finds it to flash twrp but not anything else. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So installing a custom rom will fix my problem or does a rom run off the stock OS? Or does it use its own OS so once I can install it, it will work?

I'm using the Sprint AIO.

Easiest way is to download HTC One (Sprint) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 then see where is says Extras there is an option thats says ADB Sideload a ROM just load the ROM is really simple just read the instructions carefully.
Make sure you have proper Drivers Installed and you are on the screen of ADB Sideload a ROM on TWRP

I was able to fix it. Crisis avertied

You should try another USB Port/USB Cable make sure you have the HTC Drivers installed, I would try this:
Disconnect Phone try another USB Port/USB Cable
Reboot phone into Recovery
Open All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 Select Extras ---> ADB Sideload a ROM
On TWRP go to Advance ---> ADB Sideload (Select Wipe Dalvik Cache/Wipe Cache)
Select RUN on ADB Sideload select ROM and the ROM transfer should work (you should see a sideload.zip file thats the ROM)
If that doesn't work probably someone with more knowledge can help you.

I had a similar issue and had to install my rom with the ADB Sideload option.

thanks for the reply guys but adb sideload is not working for me...i just keep getting the mound data error. =\

Same issue
I as well am getting a unable to mount data issue which is not allowing me to push anything using adb sideload...and when using the all in one toolkit I got a message saying
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: closed
granted I have been awake for about 26 hours now so i may have just missed something but any advice would be very helpful
EDIT - Figured out that you need to do wipe of pretty much everything by going to wipe>advanced>and selecting everything, then do a adb sideload, worked like a charm

[Q] no ADB/usb-otg with TWRP 2.6.3

I used to run TWRP 2.5.0.0 without any problems, since the OTA 4.3 update the touchscreen in TWRP 2.5.0.0 no longer works. for some reason TWRP 2.5.0.0 is the only recovery that would work with usb-otg and ADB, does anyone know how to either wipe and install a new rom only using ADB commnds in twrp, or how to get my USB-OTG and ADB working in TWRP 2.6.3? the phone currently is listed as M7WLS in the device manager while in any recovery besides TWRP 2.5.0.0

did you try adb sideload (nameofrom).zip ? using sideload in twrp.
i cant seem to get my OTG USB to work at all. it will not mount the usb no matter what i do.

only twrp 2.5.0.0 works with adb or usb otg

sideload does not work since the phone is improperly recognized as m7wls in device manager on any recovery besides twrp 2.5.0.0

I had the same issue with twrp & otg on 4.3. I updated to twrp 2.6.3.0 & still had issues sideloading after a complete wipe in twrp. I just read that flashing philztouch from bootloader helped someone to sideload a rom. I haven't tried it yet-so fill us in if you have any luck with philztouch. I love twrp, but i'll use anything that works. We are all learning, so ur best bet is to always take the time to backup before u try anything.

the new CWM was able to mount my usb automatically and my problem is solved, ty. But i wonder, why is every other recovery but the newest CWM and TWRP 2.5 unable to use the usb?

Didn't find out about this issue until it was too late
I decided to back everything up onto my laptop and wipe the phone clean including the internal card and then install a new ROM from the USB-OTG
Problem is I didn't realize until I tried it that TWRP 2.6.3 won't mount or recognize USB to either install the ROM or push another recovery onto the phone
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Accidentally Installed a Rom While S-ON

For some stupid reason I thought I had S-Off. Installed a rom that required S-Off.
Phone boots to the "select language screen", then reboots itself. Does this continuously.
Can't mount my phone to my computer either. Any ideas?
Phone is unlocked and rooted.
Didn't do a backup either.

You can install roms with s-on. Boot into recovery and install another rom. If problem continues you can fastboot erase cache.

Reboot into recovery.
Now make a Wipe of the phone like when you installing new ROM.
Now Select mount
Tick DATA and just data. System and Cache must be unchecked. Leave it there for now.
Now download new ROM you want and put it into your fastboot folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe files in it if you know what i mean.
Now start fastboot and write following adb push rom.zip /sdcard/. and hit enter. Wait a couple of minutes until you see that files are transfered.
now go back from mount in TWRP until you see the rom file. FLASH the ROM...

Tried two roms and it fails when trying to flash.
I'll try and download some others ...

[Q] No OS, not rooted

So, my dad bought an HTC One from a seller on EBay. The phone was originally on Sprint, but it was unlocked; when he got the phone, it didn't work initially, and after he and my mom trouble shooted for a bit, they got it working. Those are the only details I know; I don't know what the problem was.
After they got it working, my dad did something to the phone, and it froze up completely. He let the battery drain, and then I went to work. When I got back, he had wiped the OS, and the only thing it can do is boot into TWRP v2.5.0.0. I don't know what else he did, or what else he tried.
Here's my problem; I can't flash a ROM on it, because, somehow, it's unrooted. Every time I power it down, TWRP says "Your device is unrooted." I researched a bit on how to root it from that point; but, to do that, you need an OS, which somehow, I do not have. It seems like, to get the phone rooted, I need an OS, and to get an OS, I need it rooted.
So, I tried do use the ADB sideload that a lot of people recommended. I downloaded the SDK packages, I ran Command Prompt, I've tried it at least 30 times by now, but it will not pick up the phone. When I do the "adb devices" command, it has nothing listed. I tried pushing the ROM anyway, just to see, and it fails because, again, "no devices found." I've tried wiping the cache and dalvik, rebooting into recovery, and trying the rooting and the ADB stuff over again, numerous times, and neither one works.
The only thing I haven't tried is doing a RUU; but, before I do that, I decided to ask here, and get some help. The RUU seems extremely complicated, and I don't even know if it will work.
I'll be the first to admit, I really don't know much about Android, or any of this. I've flashed ROMs, and that's about it. So, can anyone tell me what I should try, and if the RUU would work? If it would, can you link me to a guide?
Thank you!

If you hold down the power button while pressing the vol- button, does it load the Bootloader, a white screen with options.

Are you using Windows 8.1? Because if you are fastboot only works on HTC devices with 1.54 and up on 8.1. I was messing with my DNA this weekend and realized that adb picks it up if I'm in twrp but if I'm in the boot loader I get no device found. I also have an HTC one which isn't rooted and adb can pick it up in Windows 8.1 in normal debug mode and while I'm also in the boot loader. I'm using usb 2.0 so make sure that is what you plug it in to. Otherwise, there are driver issues with adb and fastboot in 8.1 and htc has not updated their drivers for it.
Other option is to download a live CD of Linux and try sideloading a Rom through there.

If you're problem is not having root , then try flashing a supersu.zip through recovery. That should enable root access you're able to enter recovery.

I thought twrp provided root, anyways theres any option in advanced I think you can sideload a rom via adb push. It's something like adb sideload "name of rom sideloading.zip" and I don't think you need to be rooted to sideload.
Sent from my HTC one using xda app-developers app

Root doesn't come with recovery and can be lost sometimes upon flashing a new rom. That's why the supersu.zip exists.

Yes upon initial install. But I know some ROMs which say you lose that root access after flashing it and tell you to flash the supersu.zip in order restore it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a root checker if their root files could be deleted? I'm pretty sure it's built into the recovery. I could be dead wrong, never ran into a custom rom that's never been with out root.

i dont get why you need Root to install a ROM? flash a ROM in TWRP by going to Advanced -> ADB Sideload. have a ROM on your PC where the adb and fastboot files are and type in "adb sideload name_of_rom.zip"
select reboot system when it is flashed, when it asks for root select "Do Not Install", and it should reboot into your flashed rom

My initial understanding was that OP could not get adb working to sideload a Rom. Usually twrp will ask upon reboot to install su if it detects root has been lost.

If you can't get adb to work, then you should buy a USB-OTG adapter.
With the USB otg you would be able to connect a USB-Stick to the one and mount it in the recovery.

If you're problem is not having root , then try flashing a supersu.zip through recovery. That should enable root access you're able to enter recovery.

I downloaded a file called "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip" from a website called "chainfire"; I'd post a link, but I can't do that until I hit 10 posts.
Then I installed it, and it was successful. Then I tried installing a ROM; and it failed again. Then I wiped everything, rebooted, re-installed the SuperSU, rebooted, and tried installing the ROM; it failed again. Also, every time I restart, TWRP still says it is not rooted, and gives the option to root it. I always opt to root it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also noticing, when I try and flash the ROM, it does this:
"Updating partition details...
Installing '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Verifying zip signature...
E: Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'
Updating partition details..."
Could it have something to do with this MD5 check? Or maybe this Zip signature verification?

I forgot to mention, after I could not get the sideload to work, I got an OTG cable, which does work.

there's an option in TWRP where you can toggle signature validation off/on. try and turn it off then run the zip.

Root is needed AFTER you install your ROM. I think you have a corrupted zip file. Sideload a ROM but after you download it check the md5 to see if its downloaded correctly. You needed to read more bro. Sounds to me you are very new to this.

i dont get why you need Root to install a ROM? flash a ROM in TWRP by going to Advanced -> ADB Sideload. have a ROM on your PC where the adb and fastboot files are and type in "adb sideload name_of_rom.zip"
select reboot system when it is flashed, when it asks for root select "Do Not Install", and it should reboot into your flashed rom

You actually don't need root to flash a Rom. Sounds like a bad download like the other dude said.

You should be able to install any rom you want as long as you're able to flash zips from the recovery, even if there's no OS installed, that just means the system and boot partitions are empty and they can be easily filled with a rom zip. And root is something that comes with the rom or something you can install after you flash a rom. You don't need root to flash if you can already boot into TWRP.
