[Q] I deleted everything on the one, please help

I am a newbie trying to root htc one(att) , after I installed the 4.2.2 it began to keep restarting,I tought it was because I didn't wipe my data before I flash a new ROM, so i enter the TWRP and wanna wipe data and try again.
But I selected all the options and wiped everything on the cellphone including the OS, so now I can enter the bootloader, and I can enter the recovery, but I can't find the "USB storage" in the computer , so how can I transfer the rom to the storage and flash again?
Thank you very much

You know what ADB and Fastboot are I assume? if not, I'll explain more.
But you have to do the following:
- download a rom of your choice on your pc (or use one you already have on there)
- put it in your ADB folder (for example for me C:\Users\Thom\Downloads\One\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools)
- then open a command window in that folder (shift+right click on the folder, or in a cmd window use the cd command)
- use the command "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly.

Hi, thank you for the help. I followed your guide and successfully transfer the zip into the phone. But when I enter the recovery and try to install, it failed and says:
E: unable to mount /cache
E: unable to mount /data
E: unable to mount /system
E: unable to mount internal storage
I click the mount option in the recovery , there are 4 box (cache, data,system,USB-OTG), but I can't choose any of them.
Also at the bottom of the box it says that"Storage: Internal Storage (0MB)"

Hi, thank you for the help.
I'm trying to search more threads about the sideload and learn it.
But since I cant mount anything, I cant do sideload, trying to fix it :silly:

the other, and right now I think only, option is to flash a RUU.
Which One do you have? Europe, Asia, AT&T, Developer, etc? Once I now that I can point you in the right direction

ok, I'll try to help.
I had the exact same problem yesterday (I was being a bit dumb and accidently pressed the wrong button ) and I managed to solve it.
Okay, here is the RUU. Download it, it may take a while.
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1847-ruu-m7-ul-jb-50-cingular-12650212exe/
So while it's downloading, start with preparing.
First of all, did you flash the new firmware already? If so, go back to the old one. I'm not sure if the AT&T has same firmware as the international, if it does I can give you a link because I still have it on my pc.
You can flash it with "fastboot oem rebootRUU" (case sensitive!)
then when you see a htc logo on your phone "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (replace firmware with actual file name)
THEN FLASH IT AGAIN, OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK AND YOU'LL BE BRICKED
then if it says succesful, use "fastboot reboot". Then go back into bootloader.
then, flash stock recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158763)
after that, relock your device (command is "fastboot oem relock")
so after the RUU finished downloading, try to run it.
Any problems, I'll keep an eye on this thread

Thank you . I am now at the htc grey logo status.
Since I dont know what firmware is I am afraid to take the next step.
Whats the firmware you've talked about? Is it OS? like 4.2.2 OS zip file?

No, the firmware package for the HBoot, Radio, etc.
I assume you didn't flash it when going to 4.2.2?
Or did you take the official 4.2.2 update before?

No, I didn't flah firmware when going to 4.2.2.
When my phone is good, all I did is I just copied the 4.2.2 to the phone and install in the recovery status.
Then the 4.2.2 keeps restarting and then I deleted everything on the phone .

Okay, you still have 4.1.2 firmware then. In that case you can just reboot already and skip the first step

Thanks.
The second step, flash stock recovery, I downloaded the file and in the recovery folder there are many .imgs
Which one is the one I need?
and how do I do it? just shift+right click to cmd and fastboot flash recovery name.img?

okay, I have been browsing a while, but I unfortunately have no idea which one you could use.
HOWEVER,
I did see someone say you don't need stock recovery. So, try to just relock it and then flash the RUU.
You can always unlock it again if it doesn't work, so there isn't much of a risk

the problem here isn't the firmware he flashed the 4.2.2 rom, which uses the storage a bit different.
The problem he has is caused by the fact he didn't clear SD directly after flashing (needed if you jump from custom rom 4.1.2 to 4.2.2)
it could have been easy, but he can't boot into his rom, everything is gone. If he could boot it would be waaaaaaay easier, would only require a few ADB commands

OK, now I run the RUU, the phone is in the grey htc status,.It says gonna take 10 mins, hope it will be fine :victory:

no problem mate
good you're back.
before you flash 4.2.2, take the official OTA
or if you don't have it yet, first flash the 4.2.2 firmware (can be found in the ARHD thread) and then after the rom is done installing, wipe the sd card
Have fun with your One

HTC One original rom on root device update problem

...guys I was looking around, but couldn't find answer for my little problem. I have rooted HTC One, but rom is stock (didn't plan to change it at all just needed root), but the problem is today a new update came up, and when I tried to install it, it simple didn't do anything.
I go on Install now, phone restarts in recovery mode, then it gives me Installation aborted, and I have 3 thingies, - No; - Yes - Disable recovery flash: - +++++Go Back+++++
Whatever I choose, it just restarts and asks again for same recovery. What shall I do?
In console stands this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.4
E: Invalid command argument
E: Invalid command argument
Warning: No file_contexts
Finding update package...
E: unknown volume for path [DATA:data/cp,/amdrpod_HTC_Europe_2.24.401.8-2.24.401.1_release_331108tottoh71qygw07hf.zip]

It seems that it cannot mount or something?!?

...ah, I knew it. I presume that stock recovery can't be flashed from custom recovery.
So I need to flash stock recovery, then to lock bootloader, and then I guess I'm good to go!?!
Can I flash it from custom recovery, or do I need to flash it differently? Anyone has link for it, or are all stock recoveries same (I mean from different providers)?
Thanks

You need to install stock recovery using fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Install stock recovery like I said above, once done type the following :- "fastboot oem lock"
You should be good to go then for the update. Re-locking your bootloader doesn't wipe your files either, only unlocking wipes the internal storage.

...OK, so here is what I did. From ADB restored the original recovery.img, then lock bootloader, and viola. Thanks guys for helping me out.

Edit: ...I forgot to uninstall SuperSU, and now I have a shortcut in apps and it cannot be removed. When I run it, phone says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a Problem!" ...lolz me, what to do?

What is all this about S-Off and HTCDev ... You unlock your bootloader through HTCDev, S-Off is NOT something that can be done any other way than Revone and Moonshine and NOT on Hboot 1.54 ... Yet.
I've seen several people mention S-Off and HTCDev in the same breath and I think some of you are getting it all mixed up. Unlocking the bootloader and going S-Off are not the same thing and only unlocking the bootloader can be done through the HTCDev website.
I'm pretty sure HTC aren't going to help you remove the security from your device.

I stand corrected you are correct I had soff before that's why I guess it wasn't reset after update

Original recovery and lock oem doesn't help.
Lads,
Would someone give me a hand here please.
There is a major update for HTC One.
I've flashed original recovery and locked back the phone.
Now it's downloading the update, then goes into reboot and opens fastboot bootloader, instead of installing the update.
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks in advances

Hi,
I have the same problem as OP.
However the instructions in the replies are terribly confusing, I don't even know where to start!
Someone could do a step-by-step summary for less expert (or just android-retarded) people ?
Thanks a lot!

further to my post above

You need to be on stock recovery. Figure that out and you should be good.

Looking at the various guides somehow related to stock recovery doesn't make sense to me.
There's too many things I am not aware of such as how to flash the stock recovery, if the process will wipe all data, what is a fastboot command etc. etc. Has anybody ever created an easy guide to assess the problem?

For the sake of common knowledge and in case it may help other unknowing people like me, I'll post what I did here:
I sort of mixed these two guides: this one and this.
Premise:
A. It was impossible to make this whole thing run on my Win8.1 x64 computer. It would never recognize my Fastboot USB device plugged in. I had to use bloody WINXP x86 on my old-ass netbook....
B. Somehow I still had my fastboot/adb compiled folder that I used back in time to root my HTC at first.
C. My phone was Tampered, Unlocked, with HBOOT (i think 1.44 ?) and most definitely S-OFF I would say ? Still don't know for sure.
D. I updated from 4.1.2 through 4.2 to 4.3.
At the 4.2 upgrade the phone went on black screen twice (1st time at ~25%, and 2nd time after 100% was complete). Panic is useless in that case. I went to the bathroom, blasted the strongest lights I had and exposing the phone to the lights, I pressed the power button til the capacitative buttons blinked. After a while the phone rebooted and resumed exactly from the point it blacked out before.
The update to 4.3 went smooth as oil instead.
This is each step I did, following the quoted guides above:
1. Extract the stock recovery file (should be .img) that can be found in the OTA update firmware.zip file, in the firmware package (in some other thread it's explained the path of this file). Place the file in the folder with your fastboot commands.
2. Make sure fastboot and USB Debugging are unchecked on your phone in power settings>fastboot.
3. Power down phone by holding power button and pressing shut down.
4. Once phone is shut down, power phone into bootloader by holding volume down button and pressing power button.
5. Once in the bootloader navigate until it says fastboot usb (must have phone connected to computer).
6. Open up a command prompt where your fastboot commands are located.
7. Type the following with the filename of the stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
8. Navigate in the bootloader menu to the reboot option to restart your phone.
9. Download the latest SuperSU and place it on your sdcard.
10. Perform the OTA update normally.
11. Once it finishes installing, power down the phone like before and get back to fastboot usb.
12. Flash back the custom recovery using fastboot (I used latest CWM available):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
or
Code:
fastboot flash zip <recovery>.zip
13. Then type :
Code:
fastboot reboot
14. Enter recovery by navigating with the volume buttons. Once in recovery, flash the zip of the SuperSU file you previously downloaded.
15. Restart once flashing is complete.

[Q] HTC One Brick?

Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

Sorry I'm just panicking an awful lot. I'm a bit calmer now though so I'll crack on. I've got TWRP back up and I've tried to install the ROM but it keeps saying failed. Is therre any way to make my phone available to transfer to so I can try a different ROM?
EDIT: It seems I did make a backup with TWRP, I'm assuming that wouldn't show up on CWM? That seems to be working so I'll count myself lucky. I would very much like to get stock android 4.4 though so do you know of any detailed guides for getting that with TWRP on HTC one?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I completely panicked and I would never have figured any of this out without your help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

No OS on phone, can't install a rom

I am hoping someone can help with this, my son completely wiped his Google Edition HTC One. When I asked him what he did he stated that he flashed TWRP and did a full wipe checking all of the boxes under the advanced tab. Then when he tried to flash Cyanogenmod 10.2 it keeps failing. I asked him why he did this and he said his friend told him how cool Cyanogenmod is so naturally he want it to! (By the way my son is 13).
I know very little about this phone but I would like to get the phone back to the way it was before he messed with it as it cost me $650 to buy it. I started reading about RUU files but from what I can tell the RUU will not work with S-ON. And I can't seem to flash any ROM as it keeps failing. Any suggestions would be a big help!

Don't worry this is fixable
First relock your bootloader
Then download a RUU.zip for GPe
boot into fastboot
and type this command (in your pc of course with adb) fastboot oem rebootRUU
A silver htc logo should show
copy the RUU you downloaded to your adb folder and rename to ruu.zip
and type this command fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
this command should be typed twice (ignore the error that shows up)
after the second time it's done
type fastboot reboot
should turn right up
Good luck

Then make him use a flip phone for a week as punishment lol

I had the same. In my case I started ruu for another version (international), of course ruu failed to install but it did fix partitions, after that I was able to sideload rom. I will try to find my topic and provide You with my solution.
This is my BLS/ALS with HTC One, patient is alive and well now, only camera has pink tint...

Try with CWM instead of TWRP... and finally pass some information about progress.

Will the ruu method work if the phone is S-ON? All of the XDA posts I read state that you need to be S-OFF?

Give it a shot the phone is already bricked what you got to lose

You can run an ruu but it has to be newer..

Any idea where to download the RUU? The build number that was on the phone before all this started was KRT16S.H5 release-keys

The good news are that the phone isn't bricked, imho. The bad ones are that you will have to play with ROMs recoveries and RUU's a bit in order to have a working phone back. First of all I would focus to succeed in flashing a ROM in order to boot your phone. Googling I found a user with your same error showed in the pic that solved the issue "checking the signature box then flash a ROM where he got the error then unchecked the same signature box and reflash with success". If this process doesn't work for you, I suggest to flash a different recovery such as CWM and try to flash the ROM through it. Anyway you'll need an unlocked bootloader for the entire process. Let me know if you succeed.

when your son was flashing CM mod was he using the correct version? I don't recall but I tried flashing my ATT HTC one but I am running a WWE firmware so that made me have to flash the GSM version of CM mod. http://www.cmxlog.com/11/m7ul/ Try downloading the latest zip file there and than try mounting to his phone with the USB mount or if you have a USB OTG you can install it from a USB. It shouldn't matter if your S-ON or S-OFF for installing some roms it just helps you avoid taking extra steps to get the ROM to install.
When your flashing with TWRP make sure to do a advanced wipe and check everything that is on there. After you do a advanced wipe do a regular factory reset. I'm hoping that the new CM11 rom will flash for his phone. You can also use ADB sideload to send the zip files over to your phone if you cannot mount the phone. What ADB sideload does is open up a connection from your phones USB and lets you transfer zips over onto the internal SD card basically in DOS command.

I want to thank everyone for there guidance in this. After googling for a couple of days and a few failed attempts with the RUU command I was finally able to restore the phone. I was able to flash a nandroid backup using TWRp from another google edition HTC which brought the phone back to life. Then I flashed a stock recovery and OTA's became available to the phone. The once dead HTC is now back up and running stock 4.4 android. The only issue I with the phone now is that there is a popping sound after a notification comes in that I can't get rid of... Anyone have any ideas?

The popping noises seem to come after I updated to kit Kat I don't know but a lot of people might have that issue too.

[Q] No OS, Sideload not working, RUU toolkit can't find device....Stuck!

I had a ton of problems with my CM11, It would crash everytime I tried to download something and playstore would crash. I tried restoring a few backups I made before Gapps ect...but it kept reverting back to the same problem.
I didn't make a stock backup and was pretty much stuck. I planned to do a wipe, and sideload Viperrom so I could at least activate my phone since it is Sense based.
That didn't work, so I downloaded the RUU toolkit, and it keeps saying device not found, even though it is showing up on Windows, clearly it's connected. Drivers are installed, though Squibbys toolkit. Adb sideload won't work and Squibbies can't find device. I can't access the CMD panel on my Winodows computer because I'm staying in a hotel for a trip and they have it blocked, and all I have with me is my Macbook.
Is there a way to download Viperone or Viperrom, and load it onto my phone with my mac? Twrp is running and working fine, I just need an .img on my internal storage so I can install it.
I hate these stupid phones

Do you have adb on your Mac. First step would be to install and post fastboot getvar all

We worked with a user's issue on mac with similar questions, i will try to look it up.

Awesome, thanks! I have the latest version of Viperone downloaded now just waiting for a way to push it onto the device. Hopefully, I'll still be able to activate my phone when it's on there. I was able to with old ViperRom on my last HTC one

I'm slowly trying to read through that thread but I don't see where the RUU came from.
I wish there was a simple way to just put the Viperzip on my phone, I don't really need to do a factory restore

You need to start with an output of fastboot-mac getvar all.
It picks up toward the end. =)

This ruu is for dev edition. From what I see on post #3 you have the sprint variant recovery (WLS). Unless you have made an error downloading the wrong recovery, I assume your phone is a WLS variant and the dev RUU can't be used on your phone as all M7_U/M7_UL roms.
Like SaHiLzZ said, post your fastboot getvar all before proceeding any further.
Open a terminal windows
Change directory to your adb/fastboot folder i.e:
Code:
cd [COLOR="Red"]desktop/some_folder[/COLOR] [COLOR="Orange"]<---- replace red characters to match your fastboot
folder path[/COLOR]
then
Code:
fastboot-mac getvar all
or
./fastboot-mac getvar all
post the output except IMEI and serialno

I'm not sure what I should or shouldn't post about the details of my phone, I pulled the getvar

As I said post the entire getvar except IMEI and SERIALNO
And please stay in this thread, helping via PM can become confusing.

plug your phone to your mac via usb and reboot it in recovery mode.
make sure your rom .zip is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are
ADB PUSH the rom on your phone:
Code:
/.adb-mac push name_of_file.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery install the rom.
don't forget to use a WLS rom or you can use a guru reset rom to go back to stock. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_sprint_3-04-651-2-zip/

OR lock your bootloader and flash this http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_335355_signed_2.exe
