[q] i messed up and now i can't boot - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey so today I decided to updato to one of the 4.4 roms.
So I downloaded the rom + an update do CWM.
Since I installed CWM on my htc one I updated to windows 8.1 so I have no drivers for the fast boot or anything installed and had no idea that there where problems installing those in windows 8.1.
So just to test i jumped on my old CWM 6.0.3.2 and tried installing the rom this one->(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520076)
No sucess.
So I thought no problem I update cwm and then try again. Problem is after trying installing the new rom and failing I can't boot into my previous rom.
Now I can't update the rocovery and I don't have any other roms rather then the one that doesn't work on my phone.
I'm kinda freaking out about all this since I have been trying to fix this for the last 2 hours without any success.
Please if someone could point me in the right direction I will be incredibly thankfull

First of all don't panic
Follow this thread to install drivers on your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799
grab fastboot platform tools from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590800, don't worry about all the text just download platform tools file unzip and place folder on your desktop. Once inside the folder on a blank spot hold down shift key on your keyboard and right mouse click, you should see and Option to 'Open a Command window here" do that, then you should be OK from there (if you have installed drivers)
type "adb reboot bootloader", this should take your device to fastboot mode, then type "fastboot erase cache" and then try booting into your phone into recovery it should fire up, if it doesn't simply reflash recovery and erase cache again. (you can also side load a ROM if you have to in recovery (but once you get your drivers installed you should be able to place ROM directly on SD Card or install the nandroid backup)
Hope this helps

First of all thanks for stopping by
Secondly I'm kinda freaking out because I simply can't follow the tutorial on the first link you sent me.
I simply can't install the drivers, once I go to fastboot mode, my htc on is detected as unknown USB device and once I select the downladed drivers from that thread and go to device manager to change the drivers, It simply says I have the last one and doesn't install anything...
I did a little research and found that in windows 8.1 you need to disable driver verification on the advanced boot option, did that, did nothing to help me and my situation.
Any advice?

Right I've already looked at a similar tutorial and in device manager I have 2 entries for Renesas USB 3 nothing saying intel. But once I click them I find that the driver version and driver provider and date, is exacly the same as the ones shown on the tutorial. Problem is once I go to update the driver and browse to the x64 folder (where I place the modified files) it does exactly nothing just like it does when I try to update the drivers of the HTC one when in fast boot...

Did you try downloading HTC sync from HTC them self's?
I'm running 8.1 and the official HTC sync drivers work just fine. Uninstall any previous HTC drivers and restart before installing HTC sync. Then after all that plug in the phone in fastboot and verify that its installed and recognized.
Then use HTC one all in one tool or some other similar app and use it to sideload a rom

After trying and failing to update the fastboot drivers I installed htc sync and rebooted. Still have the same problem. Now I may have not unnistalled the previous drivers that allowed me to access the htc one storage normaly when a rom is installed so that maybe the issue.
How would you unnistall the previous drivers? Are they in the device manager?

If it was the htc driver install program then you would uninstall it like any other program. If you did it manually by going into device manager then simply find the device and uninstall it from within device manager.. It should give you an option to delete the drivers after uninstall

So I take a break because I'm getting kinda worried about all this and really needed to "Chill the F*** down"
So I tried your idea, went to the control panel and unnistalled HTC sync and HTC drivers and iptinstaller (I think this one is installed with HTC sync), then I rebooted and installed htc sync again, rebooted and then booted my phone up and went to fastboot, then plugged the usb cable (that is plugged in a motherboard port not in the front pannel) to the phone, it displayed FASTBOOT USB as normal, waited a couple of seconds for windows to say that the device is not recognized as it did before...
Any thoughts? My biggest issue is that I have 2 hours to fix this since tomorrow I really need this phone...that's whats freaking me out

Any idea or anyway to fix this will be trully appreciated since At the moment I literelly don't know what to do anymore...

If after uninstalling the phone and the drivers then installing HTC sync and the problem has not been fixed.
Fastest way would be using Linux since the drivers are made by you essentially. And fastboot and adb are installed and recognized

One thing you said unnistall the phone and the drivers the only thing I did was I went to the controll panel and unnistalled everything HTC related, is the phone unnistalled just by doing that?
And currently I have no acess to a linux machine and I tried to create a virtual machine with windows 7 but I seem to be strugling to connect the unknown device that is my phone in fastboot mode to the virtual machine

It shouldn't make a difference either or would delete the drivers.
As for the virtual machine I always just created a partition on the harddrive and dual booted Ubuntu and windows

Do you think doing that but using windows 7 and then installing htc sync would do the trick? That's what I was thinking about doing right now

It would work since HTC drivers work on W7 just 8 and 8.1 are the ones with issues.

I was completely freaking out as soon as the problem kicked in and only now did I realize that I had and old rom backup on the recovery I could not believe it, sorry for the inconvinience I may have caused you guys.
About the drivers I simply could not get anything to work anything, hopefully someone should figure it out.
Just a quick and much more simple question, how can I update my recovery to the last CWM version?
I tried rom manager which only shows a version before the last one and I wanted to see if the last one worked with the 4.4 rom.
Anyways thanks for everyone who trie to help me in the first place it's much appreciated

Did you disable the driver signing on Windows 8? That's got to be done before any of the driver installation or adb/fastboot setup stuff.
I can help you get it figured out via team viewer maybe later tonight. The latest TWRP would probably solve your issue, it works for the new 4.4 roms, the goo.im app would probably install it but you really need to be using fastboot and adb if you're going to be flashing stuff.
Once you get the driver issue solved you just download the recovery, it will be a .img file, drop it in the right folder, rename recovery.img, and type the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

As far as I know, On windows 8.1 With a H.Boot of 1.54 or above ADB/Fastboot will not work in the recovery? Not 100% sure, just read it somewhere on here, have you recently updated to 8.1? Failing that, reinstall HTC Sync, Reboot, Then uninstall HTC Sync (-JUST- HTC Sync, when it asks leave the drivers installed) Then reboot again, and try again, thats what I did when my ADB Stopped working and it got it going again
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Messed up HTC Driver

Hello Everyone
Yesterday I tried to get my Nexus 7 with adb-Drivers working.
At this point, my HTC-Driver for my IncS was working. it was.
Now the Nexus 7 Driver and HTC Driver are completly messed up after i tried to install the nexus 7 driver. None of them is working. When I connect one of my IncS, Windows will search for Drivers but cancel this with: "No Driver found".
When I go into the Device-Manager, it shows my IncS as Android Phone in Other Devices. (See attached Screenshot)
I tried 1000times removing and reinstalling the HTC-Driver but this didn't help, Windows don't find any driver for this. HTC Sync is also don't recognize any phone, adb either.
Tried to go back with System Restore, but the Driver-Problem is still here.
Please help me, I need this driver working for syncing my phone.
Have a nice day
MrToastbrot
Try a right click on android phone in device manager, choose install driver and guide it manually to folder inside Program Files (x86)\HTC. There you have 2 folders HTC Driver and HTC BMP USB Driver just try with both.
Thanks for your help. But i found it another way:
Go to device manager, choose android phone and then update drivers.
Choose Search on Computer, then Search in a list of installed drivers.
Then goto list all drivers. Goto HTC Corpartion and take MyHTC.
Now its working. That dumb Windows never removed the HTC-Driver, but was too stupid to realise, that it should use this driver for the IncS...
Yes, your Win got stucked searching IncS drivers in Nexus folders cause you confused it with another phone connected. I had problems even with 2 HTC phones (Desire and IncS), so a few times it got stucked while i was trying to downgrade and install BlackRose, and that was a real pain in the ass...
With 2 HTC's I never had problems. It always worked fine with my Wildfire and Incredible S. But the Nexus 7 has messed up everything...
But thanks for your help, my phone is working now (with adb)
HTC Sync setup_1.1.66.0_htc not installing
Hi,
I recently bought a HTC one X, upgraded it to Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I had the connect to PC option in ICS before which now does not exist. The problem is, when i try to install the HTC Sync setup_1.1.66.0_htc, it gives me the error "The files for installation requirement checkandremoveoldhtcdriver could not be found.The installation will now stop.This is probably due to a failed, or cancelled downoad."
I have removed all possible HTC drivers that i found in the computer. I am using a Windows 7 Home premium X86 OS.
Need help! Googled and googled but have not found a solution so far.Called up HTC and they dont have a clue.

Well..decided to do a fresh install of my OS. 1st thing i did after the reinstall of OS is to install the HTC driver and Viola! it worked. Able to use all services on HTC now.

[Q] 'No os installed' error

So I accidentally deleted everything on my phone (including all the backups on TWRP) because I'm a dumbass. It says I have 'no os installed', so I'm currently trying to adb push a Rom or Stock RUU into my phone, but I can't because my pc isn't reading the HTC Drivers.
When I turn on my phone, I'm stuck in the HTC boot logo. I can still access the bootloader/recovery, though. So basically, I'm stuck and I don't know what else to do to save my phone :/
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. :good:
I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple similar posts...try searching all the Sprint HTC One forums

You HAVE to find drivers that work for your computer. Once you can get adb working you have to adb push the Rom to to the sdcard directory and flash regularly.
Obviously back up...again.
Or, second option is to download to RUU. I'm pretty sure that would work... Don't you probably want a second opinion on that one.

I would put the phone in fastboot mode make sure your conected to the internet and your computer should automatically start looking for the latest drivers and install them...once that step is complete i would download a rom and try installing again...hope this was helpfull

[Q] Multitude of problems; What do I do?

I'm aware that there are many forums about these various things but seemingly, no matter what I do, I cannot successfully restore my phone to working order. I just would like it to be stock again. This all came about in the process of trying to un-root my phone. Using TWRP i accidentally deleted my system files, and unfortunately have no back up due to the full wipe. I really am a somewhat uneducated in this realm of knowledge so I apologize ahead of time for that. I immensely appreciate any and all help possible! :fingers-crossed:
The Status of my Phone:
Sprint HTC ONE
Tampered; Unlocked, S=ON
TWRP Recovery
No OS, only have access to Bootloader, Fastboot, and TWRP Recovery
The Status of my PC:
Most recent Sdk file download
Most recent HTC Sync Manager (I think this means i have up to date drivers too?)
Fastboot files are installed.
The Stock rom i'm trying to push/flash/install is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
These are My Problems:
Phone cannot be recognized while in fastboot. This cause me to be unable to re-lock the phone.
The command fastboot devices yields no results where as the command ADB devices does detect my phone.
My phone can be detected in recovery, not fastboot.
I have pushed the rom to my phone however upon install attempts from the recovery I simply "Error flashing zip" without any error number or anything.
If other information is needed please ask and I will try to provide it. I'm not sure where to go from here and would really not like having a brick since i have no way to replace the phone until my contract ends .Thanks again everyone, I really do appreciate any help, advice, or information
Try uninstalling HTC Sync, but leave the drivers. Hopefully this will allow fastboot to see your phone. Then run the ruu.

Okay, just did that, and it hasn't seemed to change the issue. Should I try uninstalling all the htc files on the pc and then just find a file of just drivers? Thanks for your help coal.
You're welcome. That might work, but I'm unsure why it didn't work. Are you on Windows 8? There are some special steps you have to do I think. Also, the drivers don't work on the Windows 8.1 preview.

Go to your Device Manager in Control Panel. What does it say under Android Device?
Also, have you tried different ports?
And does it say Fastboot USB?
make sure you dont have windows 8.1
cuz nothing in hboot gets recognized with 8.1

I am using windows 8, but it is the latest official release, not 8.1.
Karn:
It does say Fastboot USB in all red text, and i have tried different usb ports. however they are all usb 3 so i don't know if that matters.
In terms of the connecting of my phone is unrecognized and windows say it has malfunctioned. In the control panel under devices my phone is displayed as follows in the picture.
The are special instructions somewhere on XDA for Windows 8. The exclamation tells me that may be the issue. I use Windows 7, so I'm not sure what they are.
Also, I do think people have sometimes had issues with using usb 3 ports, but my old computer doesn't have those, so I can't say personally.

Error device not found

I don't know how much this comes up but, my one can't use adb. I've gotten the required drivers and usb debugging checked on. Still says device not found.

My pc at home works just fine...my work pc on the other hand has this same issue. Home pc is 32 bit, work pc is 64 bit. It's either something driver related or because it's 64 bit, I haven't had a chance to really diagnose yet. I would start by completely removing htc drivers and try again. Or maybe try a different pc if no luck getting it to work. This weekend I will try to get it working on my work pc and report back what I figured out.
That's the weird thing about it. I've reinstalled drivers, put it on different computers, x64 bit included and nothing works it just says device not

From what I can find about the "Offline" status is that you need to update your Android-Sdk there have been quite a few updates recently.
Also try this for configuring your drivers correctly
(If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good
That's the thing my old sdk was working fine that's the thing I have the drivers updated ok. It recognized my device but it shows my phone to be offline.

From what I can find about the "Offline" status is that you need to update your Android-Sdk there have been quite a few updates recently.
Also try this for configuring your drivers correctly
(If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

When I went to Device Manager, my HTC One showed up as MTP USB Device instead of ADB. Could you shine a little light on it for me? This is my first time trying to unlock and root my device. What software/driver I would need? So far I only have the HTC Driver installed.
Thank you

Uninstall everything HTC
Unplug your phone
Reboot your PC
Install these drivers
Plug in phone and let it install the drivers(it will install drivers in recovery,bootloader, and booted to your OS)
Then do the steps I posted if you still have problems.
I followed what you did, and followed the instruction you posted earlier as well. I went to Driver tab and tried to update the drive and there wasn't an option for ADB USB Devices. I unchecked the recommended box and still came up with nothing :/ Is there anything else I need to install?
Sorry to bother you again

That is the way I always fix driver issues. I'm kinda out of ideas. I'm usually fixing someones phone remotely so without being able to see your PC I can't offer any other advice.
BTW do you happen to be using Windows 8.1?

I had to update the SDK and the computer was able to recognize my HTC One. Not sure if you have encounter this before...
I unlocked my phone, install TWRP 2.500 with Toolkit v3.1. And when I went into the recovery, the touch screen won't work. I did some research and it seems I need to install new version of TWRP. However, I'm not sure how to install it without using the toolkit... and most people talked about GooManager... but my device isn't rooted yet... I was gonna root it using TWRP but the touch screen wouldn't work. So I'm stuck :/

Get v2.6.3.0 from here and put it in the toolkit folder where the other version of twrp is located and remove 2.5.0.0 then try again

[Q] I cannot get windows to recognize the m8 and can't unlock

HTC sync doesn't help.
I am so frustrated. I cannot run fastboot commands to get my token because no devices are found.
Any suggestions for this?

Have you made sure that you have the latest Fastboot available? I always check using the Android SDK Manager before attempting anything with a new device.
Unplug the device and reboot it. Then, try again.
If that doesn't work, try a different USB port (preferably one that is on the motherboard itself).
Also, you can try removing HTC Sync. You can always reinstall it after.

This, HTC sync is good for syncing but tends to interfere with adb commands and stuff like that, most instructions tell you to remove it because of this.

Thanks.
I had to reboot my pc everytime the phone went into a different mode almost. System to bootloader to system. Windows 7! Finally got it rooted. It was so simple with the toolkit bit such a hassle since my pc didn't like the phone apparently.
Now to lurk in the threads here for mods and roms.

I've had similar issues with ADB and Fastboot not recognizing my phones after plugging them in. Usually a reboot of the phone and killing/restarting the service fixes the issue.
Glad you have it working now though. :good:
